Humm... woke up at noon today. I didn't have any school or work so that was nice. :) I watched a movie on TV and then got on the net for a while and chatted and whatnot. I showed Sam the new HP layout that's going up on Saturday. :D She like it. :) I wish it was Saturday now so that I could just go ahead and put it up! lol I don't like this with having the whole layout finished and coded and everything and not being able to put it up yet. lol
Since I didn't have anything else to do today, my mom thought she'd occupy a bit of my time with chores. Oh joy. They weren't too bad though and then the strangest thing occured. I had the urge to clean my room, so I did. Well, partially anyway. lol There's still a pile of stuff without a place to go at the foot of my bed, but hey, at least it's cleaner than it was and I washed all of my bedding so I get to sleep in a nice freash bed tonight. :D Ahhh... lol
Look like Autumn, Andrew, Kaiser, and I are going to see Final Destination 2 Friday afternoon. There might be some other people from our old acting class coming as well, but Kaiser's the only one I know about since that's who Andrew was on the other line with when I called him back to say it was a go. lol I'm excited, but it's going to be rather wrong without Devon, you know? I hope they didn't screw with it all too much. I'm not sure how I like someone else having the same ability as Alex had, but it could be okay as long as they do it right.
Darnit. I had something else I was going to post about, but leave it to me to forget right when I get to that part. My poor brain... it just hurts right now. lol Ugh, I can't think of anything else to write. lmao Guess that means goodnight. ;)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICKOLAS!!! lol :D *throws confetti in the air and dances around while singing* Woo! That was fun! Now, down to the business of posting. :)
Ran called me this morning to say that she was going to work out early. I decided I'd still go to school at the same time and just print in the photo lab, but when I got there, all the enlargers were being used so I decided not to and went to the library. I started writing a letter to my cousin Steven. I think I'll finish it while I'm in history today because it's highly unlikely that I'll pay much attention to the lecture. I feel bad that I don't really pay attention in there, but I don't really need to.
Photo was boring once again. Either everyone else is really slow or I'm just incredibly smart and intellegent because I got what he was saying the first time and everyone else kept asking all these questions and I'm thinking to myself, what are you talking about? That has nothing to do with this. Were you even listening at all? I donno, maybe I just pay more attention(when I want/need to) than the average person or something.
Wisdom from my chocolate wrapper: "Melt someone's heart with a Promise." lol I bought myself a bag of Dove Dark Chocolate Promises at the store this morning when I went to get some breakfast. lol Humm... this one is good advice. "Call an old friend." Let me tell you, if you really need some cheering up buy a bag of these or the Milk Chocolate ones if you don't like Dark. lol ;)
I'm chatting with Shawn right now. It's kinda interesting, I guess. Every time we talk though he asks me if I've gotten a boyfriend yet. I think I just need to tell him that when I do, I'll just let him know.
I thought up a new domain I'd maybe like to have last night. You all MUST be used to this by now. I think I really, truly have a problem here. lol Not that it's terribly bad or anything, just as long as I don't get myself into debt with it. lmao So yeah, there's a few domains I'm thinking about right now, but I haven't told anyone about them and I'm definately not telling anyone about one of them for sure. lol If I get it, then everyone will know. ;) Sorry Sam. lol I know next time I chat with you, you're going to ask me. I know you too well. Hehehe.
Well, I guess I'd better go. I'm leaving a little early tonight to go workout before I have to go to history class since I didn't earlier. I hope that there's a tredmill open when I get in there and that there's not too many people. Then I could do it for more than 20 minutes. They've got a limit for when it's really busy so that everyone gets a chance, which is a good idea. lol It was funny yesterday... I realized that I could feel my arm muscles! lmao They do exist! ;) Well, gotta go. There might be extra posts tomorrow or none at all. So far I don't have to do anything tomorrow so I'll either have nothing to post about or find lots of things to do. lol TTFN!

Photo class was boring today. We started talking about "the zone system." I would attempt to give a brief explanation of what it is, but it wouldn't come out brief and I don't exactly understand it all quite yet. I mean, I understand the basics of it, but it still seems rather pointless and time consuming to me and it's boring. lol After photo, I went and worked out at the gym. I got there right when Ran was leaving so I had to do my workout by myself. Good thing I'd brought my MD walkman with me or I'd have been screwed! lol While I was on vaca in Cali, I discovered that something was wrong with my Now Or Never MD, so I listened to my BSB remixes one today since I haven't recorded a new Nick one quite yet.
I got home and coded up my HP layout after I had a bit of food and before I knew it, it was time to go for work. Work wasn't so bad today. Probably because they made me happy right when I got in there by giving me my share of the tips from the last month and a bit. I got sixty-three friggin' bucks! Dang, if that doesn't make you a happy camper, then you're just plain crazy or too rich to care! lol ;) Then they left me with the new girl who's very nice. I hope she stays that way. lol And the other thing that made it not so bad was that it went by really quickly which is definately a rare occurance.
I haven't done much of anything since I got home. I just took a shower, watched some SG-1, and wasted a bunch of time on the comp. lol Yay for me! lmao Now I don't know what I'm going to do. I'd like to read some, but I don't know if I'll be able to bring myself to reading more of Memory of Fire since there was that lovely, lovely mistake in it. *sigh* I just wish that Brian Jacques new book would come out at the end of this month instead of at the end of March. That would make me quite happy, but sadly, it is not so. Anyone know any really good fantasy type books that I could read?
Wee! Guess what I did... uh... yesterday! lol Dangit, you're too slow so I'm just gonna frickin' tell you! lol I finished the new layout for this site!!! :D Yay! It's going up on Saturday, the first, so look for it then. ;) It's a Harry Potter layout. :D lmao I think it looks mad cool though and I'm quite proud of myself for it as well. Good stuff.
Work at the theatre was REALLY slow. We only had 24 the first show and 30 or so for the second. I blame it all on Super Bowl Sunday. Bad for theatre business I say. Anyway, I heard Tampa Bay one... *a non-enthusiastic* yay. lol I could really care less. I'm not into football at all. The guys turned it on a bit at work today and I didn't understand anything the guy on the radio was saying about it. Giv me soccer, archery, basketball, or hockey and I will pay attention. lol I'll even do it for baseball, but not football. It just does not appeal to me at all.
I watched part of Catch Me If You Can during the first showing while I ate my dinner and then I decided to read my book. Question, does this sound wrong to anyone else? "...she could smell the ozone in the air..." Memory Of Fire, by Holly Lisle. People, you cannot smell ozone! Ozone is in the stratosphere, we live in the troposphere and ozone is actually toxic to us. If you could smell ozone, you wouldn't want to and if you did I'd suspect you'd have some brain damage or something from it. This is aggitating me. I keep finding more and more mistakes in the books I've been reading lately. Perhaps I should just stick with the older ones I know and love and Brian Jacques because I don't believe I've ever found a mistake in his writing and he's a wonderful storyteller. Speaking of him, I was just on Amazon and apparently Castaways of the Flying Dutchman is just the first in a series 'cause there's a new one set to come out at the end of March! :D *dances around happily* Yay! Something I know will be darn good to read. :)
Humm... I suppose I should think about getting to bed shortly. I haven't gotten enough sleep for... a while. lol I keep saying things to people like, "Sleep? What is sleep?" lol
Saturday, January 25, 2003
I tried to post last night, but NOOOOO, the internet had to go and be mean to me! Arg. I guess I'll start in order and move through everything. I went to work yesterday got yelled at for stuff like picking up the phone during a rush, but no one ever told me before that I shouldn't. Got yelled at for some other stupid things that they'd never told me before as well. Whatever. So I guess the work day was tolerable, but I was definately glad to get out of there when my shift was over. I went home and got ready and then my mom and I headed out to Seattle.
We got to the talent agency and they had me fill out this little sheet asking me about experience and hobies and whatnot. Then I had to wait for a good fifteen minutes before I got to talk to the lady. My mom and I were mentioning while we were waiting how it seemed that the whole purpose of making an appointment was so that you didn't have to wait around for a while, but that that never seems to be the case. Anyway, sat down and talked to her. Jody was her name. She talked about what they do there and asked me questions, blah, blah, blah. Then she was talking about the seminars they offer in acting and I asked how much and it's a thousand bucks for nine friggin' lessons! Then my mom asked if you had to take their course in order for them to represent you. I thought Jody said that you had to have some sort of class, but not nessesarily their's, but my mom things she said it had to be their's. Maybe I'll call and ask... who knows. Plus, as I figured, they don't deal with real movies much. Mosly local commercials and print stuff... things that don't really interest me much. It wasn't a totally terrible experiance though, so that's good at least.
After we got home, I called up Ani and asked her if she wanted to come spend the night and watch movies and such and she did. :) She's so funny. She had to go stop at the store on her way here to buy juice concentrate, since I didn't have any, so that I could make her a julius drink. lmao She got the wrong kind of orange juice though... she got stuff with extra pulp... YUCK! lol We didn't use that one. ;) We started watching The Bourne Identity because she never saw it, but we kept pausing it and talking and then I was trying to get on the computer and post and I got side-tracked and neither of us were watching it. lol We finally decided to forget that one for the time being and watched The Patriot because Ani's never seen that either! I swear, that girl hasn't seen half of the good movies in existence! She's deprived or something. She hasn't seen Short Circuit either. That's darn sad. Everyone should know the love of that movie. Speaking of that movie, it was on tonight so I watched some of it after I got home from work. lol But, I'm getting ahead of myself.
After the movie Ani and I had an interesting talk. I'm not going to say what it was about because I'm pretty darn sure she doesn't want it mentioned. By the time we were done talking it was something like three AM and I was friggin' tired! lol I woke up a few times in the morning due to my parents making noise and the phone ringing loudly. Somehow I managed to get back to sleep though and I think Ani stayed up, but I'm not sure, 'cause you know, I was sleeping. ;) lol She woke me up at noon though and said she'd better go 'cause it's her dad's b-day. Part of our talk had been a bit about Harry Potter so I decided to watch the first movie. lol Then it was off to work. I got peeved at Stephanie shortly after my shift started. She insulted me. I doubt that she tried or anything, but it just ticked me off and then she started telling me what to do again. I need to find a way to talk to her about that without being rude about it. She just thinks she's a manager or something and I don't mind her asking me to do things or something, but she keeps telling me to do things where it's not her place to do so. I was there a half an hour later than usual because we had to do extra stuff for tomorrow. They've gotta make lots of party planks.
I got home and watched some of Short Curcuit like I mentioned before. Then I fixed some stuff for the site I'm making for my old employers. I think I did what they asked me to do, but Eric wasn't exactly clear about it since he doesn't know web terminology like I do with how to describe certain things. lol But it should be okay I hope. At least it wasn't hard to fix or anything.
Oh yeah, and before I forget again, Ani signed up the two of us up for a senior countdown number at the high school. Every year the seniors make decorated number signs to countdown to graduation. She picked number 22 since it's her favorite number. I hassled her a bit and asked why she couldn't have picked my favorite number or something with at least my favorite number in it. lol Good fun to give her a bit of a hard time. Now we just need to figure out when we're going to make it. lol And how we're going to decorate it as well. We know for sure it's going to have sparkles on it and I want to do each of the twos in a different font(I've got a lettering book and I'm fairly good at drawing different styles). Anyway, I should have been asleep fifteen minutes ago in order to get enough sleep before church tomorrow so I'd better jet. TTFN!

Oh my gosh, this is so funny! lmao I went to history class today and half way through I went up to get my quiz(would have gotten it on Tuesday, but you know, I skipped, lol) during the five minute break. I had to stand there for a bit while other people talked to the teach, but then I got my chance and asked him if he had it. Sure enough, he did and asked my name and after I told him I thought to myself, "Oh no, now he's going to associate me with a bad grade since I BSed both the short answer questions and obviously had no idea what I was talking about." Then, he hands me the quiz and says "Nice job." lmao I looked at it and I got 100 points! lol How I managed that one, I don't know! The only way it can be explained is the grace and love of God. I made sure to thank Him for it too. ;) lol I went back to my seat and I wanted to start laughing, but of course, I didn't figure that'd be too good of an idea so I didn't. I even rechecked the paper to make sure he'd given me the right one and sure enough, it had my name on it and it was in my handwriting. lol I just can't get over it. Flippin' hilarious. ;)
I woke up later than planned this morning and booked it to school so that I could get into the photo lab and have enough time to print everything since the first assignment was due today. I got there and there was nobody else there yet except for one of the lab techs. That was really weird because that place is normally pretty crouded or at least occupied by the same 5 or 6 people that are always there. So, I went into the lab and, yay, my pictures turned out all right! :D I had to use some contrast filters on them, but they still printed okay. :)
It took me a while longer than I'd planned to print and I was a bit late to meet Randilinn for our workout, but I made it. There were a lot of people in the gym this morning. That's the first time I've gone when it's been that crouded. Then again, that was only my third time going so I guess it's not much to go by. lol At least my back felt better and it feels perfectly fine now too. :) I did some weight things and then had a nice walk for 15 minutes. I felt so drunk after I got off the belt from my walk though. lmao After walking and not getting anywhere for 15 minutes and then just moving off of it, you feel a little dizzy and light headed. lol
I was right the other day when I told someone that I knew everyone else in my photo two class was going to have better pictures than the ones I took. They always do. I donno... I just stink lately. I'm determined to do better on the next assignment though! I have to take photographs of reflections. Anyone have any creative ideas that don't have to do with simply standing in front of a mirror and taking a shot of myself taking the picture? lol
After photo I went and met up with Ran at Target. She had to wait for her film to get developed there and I need to go around the area to look for a job anyway so I went and hung out with her first. I was a bad girl though. Mommy told me not to spend my money on anything I wanted and didn't need(basically anything besides gas and a snack or two) until I pay her back and I bought The Bourne Identity on DVD. It was on sale for 17 bucks and I loved it at the theatre and yeah... there's no excuse, I was bad. Mommy doesn't know yet though. However, knowing me, I'll probably tell her tomorrow 'cause I feel bad. lol We went to Ross for a while too and I tried on these really cute pants that I wanted to get, but I couldn't get them. lol I did get a pair of sunglasses though because they actually look pretty good on me and they were only five or six dollars so that's not so bad. Ran went home after that and I went around and got one application. I just don't want to work at over half the places anywhere remotely near my house so it's not working very well for me to find a new job.
I've got my interview tomorrow after work with the lady from the talent agency. I'm not nervous at all, but I'm curious as to how it's going to go and what she'll ask me, etc. I'm mostly going there to see if they seem reputable or not and then I'll take it from there. Humm... I do wonder what it'll be like. I've gone to some things before, but they all turned out to be crap things trying to get me to enroll in their schools and nothing more than that. I donno. What I do know though is that I want to go watch the rest of The Bourne Identity so I'm going to say my last thing and go. I got the archery fanlisting up so everyone go and take a look at it! :D I made really cool animated link buttons too! I'm so proud of myself! Well, ta ta for now! *waves*

There's a kitty on my lap. She's so cute, AND she's keeping me warm. ;) lol *pets her kitty* Ooh... she's so soft. lol Did anyone else see the entry in my guestbook by Bea? Anyway, I'd like to state one more time, that those lyrics on the graphic above are from a song by Smile.dk, which does happy techno. I did not write them. Just had to make sure everyone knew that. ;)
I was supposed to wake up early again today, but I slept until around 10 minutes before I absolutely had to leave so I wouldn't be late for work. I managed to get ready and get there on time though. lol My dad drove me because he wanted to use the van to go skiing today and there's no other vehicle I could drive so he just dropped me off and then my mom picked me up afterwards. Work was both good and bad I guess. At least it seemed to go by much faster than other days so that was good. I got there and we were slow, but it was only because the entire lunch croud elected to come later than usual so we had a rush then. That was a little crazy. I was not a happy camper for a portion of it either and then my back started to hurt REALLY bad. I was very peeved after the rush when Alonna and Sally(manager and kitchen manager) both decided to take their lunch breaks at the same time and leave me to deal with everything else all by myself. That's a big no-no in my book and I found it very rude. I don't mind that they wanted their breaks, they deserved them 'cause they'd been there around two hours before me, but they should've rotated and did one at a time, I mean, that makes sense right?
I want to give my two week notice so bad, but the logic portion of my brain is being all persistent on me needing to find another job first. I'm going to try and go to a few places tomorrow after my first set of classes, but who knows if I actually will or not. Andrew came in at four and I discovered a bit of common ground with him. He wants to learn HTML! lol And he already knows Photoshop so that was cool. Definately not something I would have guessed about him though. He also tried to get me to stay until closing because he was set to only close with Alonna and I guess she makes him do most of the closing stuff, but my back still hurt really bad and I was just ready to go home, so I did.
I came home and my mom cracked my back. It sounded like she really cracked something too! lmao Then I got on the inversion table and we flipped me upside down to see if that would help make something else crack or go back into place, but all it did was make me lose a little feeling in my feet. lol It's fun to hang upside down though, everyone should try it sometime. ;) Then she put some Icy Hot on my back and I laid around for a while, but that didn't help much either. So, I took a shower and after that I felt a bit better and it doesn't hurt so much now. It was a very good thing though that when I called Ran earlier to see if we were still on for going to the gym that she said no because I don't think it would have been very wise for me to workout with my back hurting the way it was, ya know?
I finished the archery fanlisting. Well, with the exception of needing to make more codes, but I'll do that later. I would post the link, but me being me and having many brain lapses lately, I forgot to setup the subdomain a few days ago and so now it's going to take a few days or so to resolve and start working. *sigh* Why must these things take so long? lol
I still haven't gotten a reply from the guys at my old work. I sent them the graphic for my idea of the new design a few days ago, but they've sent nothing back. I think I'll have my mom ask them about it tomorrow when she goes in(she's the book keeper there). I wonder if they even go it? I wonder if I'm having problems with my e-mails? Humm... arg. lol Well, I should have been in bed at ten so I'd better go. Nighty night and don't let the bed bugs bite! :D
Tuesday, January 21, 2003
I woke up early this morning to go to work. It sucked, but at least we were busy almost the entire time so I didn't have to sit around thinking about how bored I was and how much I just wanted to go home. I was hoping to get off a half an hour or 15 minutes early so that I could run home and grab all my things and then get straight to school so that I could have time to print my pictures besides just developing them, but nope, even though the rush stopped 15 minutes before I was "scheduled" to leave, my manager had me stay. Arg. I'm sure that made a whole lot of difference to them. Anyway, I went home and got all my junk and then headed to school.
I had been thinking about my film the other day and it had dawned on me, since I shot my 400 roll at 100, maybe if I just developed it at the 100 time it would turn out okay. I asked the lab tech who was there and she looked it up in the book and it looked like that would work. While I was developing it, I asked God to let it come out okay and I think He gave me a yes, because looking at it, it seems all right! :D Yay! Thank you God! I also did a workout while I was there. It's really quite boring with no one to talk to and I didn't get to try anything new because I was too afraid to ask any of the staff how to work some of the stuff. Oh well, Ran and I are going to work out tomorrow too so then at least she can tell me how to run some of the things. ;)
I ended up skipping my history class. I was going to leave early anyway to see Catch Me If You Can with my mom and I just decided not to go. I still had an hour before it was supposed to start by the time I was done with developing and the workout(would have printed my pics, but the lab was closing for the day) and I didn't want to go anyway, so I left. lol At least that way I got to come home for a bit and I got to eat a real dinner. Mom made this veggie and mashed taters thing and it was actually pretty good, and *shock* it was healthy for me! lol
I think I'll put the archery fanlisting up tomorrow night after I get back from the gym. I worked a bunch on it just now so it's mostly done, but it needs a few more things and I need to get at least eight hours of sleep tonight since I haven't the last few nights which means a mid-night bedtime. I gotta get up at eight thirty and go to work. I have an eight hour day tomorrow and then I'm going straight for a workout... humm... don't know if I'll be dead or not after that so the fanlisting might not end up going up after all. lol Oh, and I finally got a hold of the lady from the talent agency today and I've got an interview appointment on Friday. I expect most of you to be surprised about that. I think I maybe mentioned something about it to one or two people, but I suppose they forgot about it anyway. ;) lol It's for acting... should be interesting, I donno. Just thought I'd give it a shot and see what happens. :) Well, off I go. I need my beauty sleep. lmao
Monday, January 20, 2003
Yesterday Ani came over after church and I setup Greymatter for her new group blog. Guess I shouldn't say any more than that because I'm not sure if everyone's supposed to know about it yet. lol After that, I left for work. I was hoping to watch Catch Me If You Can while I was there, but everyone else wanted to watch the movie and hadn't seen it so I got to babysit the lobby and just listen to the whole thing. lol I was selling tickets for both shows and the second show was crazy! lol Everyone just got in line and I didn't get a break until a while after the show was starting. lol It was nice though and I lived through it so that was good. I almost stayed for the second show, but my mom wants to go and see it so I decided I'd wait and go with her. Now the only problem is when because I think it's only showing for this one week and I'm either at school or working for the rest of the nights that it's going. I could be bad and leave during the break in my history class tomorrow to come back and see it. I think I'll ask my mom what she thinks. lol
Last night I worked on the archery fanlisting. :D I made a very plain layout, but I like it okay. There were no really nice pictures of arrows or things on the net that I could find. I think the next layout will be of Robin Hood though. lol All I have to do is figure out which Robin Hood movie I want to use for the pictures. lmao There are so many! Anyway, I made the coolest link button for it! It's animated and it's got this little pixel arrow that flies in a zig zag and then hits a little target and the target flashes red. I think it's way rad! :D You'll all have to wait to see it until I get the chance to code up the whole thing though. ;)
Today was not a very happy day. I guess I'm all right now n' all, but yeah, it was not good. I woke up late and got ready as quick as I could and went to pick up Autumn. I had to shoot my photo assignment that's due on Thursday so that I could develop tomorrow and it had to be done at a specific assigned place. We had a little fun finding it, but we did and it's a good thing I've got a better sense of direction that Autumn does. ;) So we get there and we wandered around and I took pictures of... stuff. There's really no other way to describe it. I have no idea what my teacher's looking for and what he wants us to photograph there, but you know, whatever. So, I finish and we're leaving and discover that I've gotta pay five bucks for parking there!! It was bull shit! Pardon my language, but it's true. It's not the kind of place where you should be made to pay for parking and I was not a happy camper. We then headed to the mall to wander for a while and got shakes from Baskin Robbins so I'd feel better. It didn't really work since there were all these insanely skinny girls walking around and there I was... drinking a milk shake. Whatever. I wanted to apply for this store that sells pants, shirts, dresses, and such, but I was too afraid. See, the girls that were working were skinny and perfect looking and that's not exactly me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not terribly fat or anything, I just need to get in shape. And I don't want to be a stick, but yeah... I'm just not the right type of person to work there. :( I wish there was a Hot Topic closer. I could work there and then I'd probably get discounts which would be really good since everything's a little pricey, but I love most of the clothes in there. lol
I dropped Autumn off at home after we'd milled around for about two hours. I had to go to work at four. I got to work WAY early and sat in my car for a while listening to Nick. Then I figured that I'd better turn off the music so the car would start up later and I sat there for a while thinking. It's not good for me to sit and think. I started feelind depressed about various things and then I realized what I'd done. When I was taking pictures I was using 400 speed film, but I'd left my ISO setting on my camera at 100 from my last roll I'd shot. I shot EVERY SINGLE PICTURE overexposed. Sure, everyone makes mistakes right? Well, that's not at all the first time I've done that. As a matter of fact, I've done it quite a few times. I wasted a roll of film and there's no way I can go shoot it over before Thursday with time to develop. I started crying. I was already pretty down on myself and then I realized that and it was kinda just the final straw and I couldn't help it. We'll just leave it all at that and I'll say that I finally collected myself and decided to go in to work.
Work made me forget about it all for a while. We actually had a small dinner rush too which was quite the shocker. Guess it was because we were having a triple stamp day. I got home from work and took my shower and then ate some fruit to makeup for my shake. I didn't have a dinner. Nor did I have a proper lunch either, but I suppose the latter is due to the chocolate covered doughnuts I bought at the gas station before I picked up Autumn. Anyway, my mom wanted to talk to me about what was wrong(told her on the phone that I wasn't having the greatest time before I started work), but I couldn't even rightly remember much about it all and it's almost like it never happened as I have no feelings for the matter now pretty much. Anyway, this is already too long and no one wants to read shit like this. Ta ta.

Wow, I've been having some crack addict dreams lately. I don't even want to go into the one I had last night... it just does not make sense. lol I guess I will say though, that Nick was in it and we were at my Grandparent's house and at 2 am he said that we should go outside and he would help me practice some basketball shots and then all of a sudden it was bright daylight! lmao Anyway, Nick seemed to like me in it and I couldn't find anything to wear to play in(stupid me) and then I did that thing where you dream you've gotta go to the bathroom and you wake up and you have to like run to the bathroom 'cause you've really gotta go. roflmao Then, the night before that, I had this crack addict dream that took place mostly in the driveway of my Grandparent's house and there were all these people and now I really just remember that there was this guy laying down on a bunch of pillows on the driveway sement(it was night time, obviously), and I went over and asked him if I could use part of one of the pillows to put my head on and he was very happy that I asked(apparently he liked me too, lol) and then someone came over and stole one of his pillows and one of the ones I'd had too! How mean is that? lmao I can't for the life of me figure out what anything in either of those dreams means. lol All I know is that in both of them a guy was quite fond of me and it was happy. *grins*
After I got up and went to the bathroom this morning, lmao, I decided to watch The Hunt for Red October before I went to work. :) It was quite nice. :D Work kinda bit though. At least it hasn't been too bad sicne I've gotten back from Cali, but it's still pretty boring. My question for tonight though is how come my manager gets to play spider solitaire on her laptop that's supposed to be used for work and I just have to stand around doing nothing? lol *ponders this for a while*
I think Randilinn's going to hate me. I'm supposed to go work out with her on Tuesday morning, and now I can't. See, I wasn't thinking properly yesterday when they asked me to work on Tuesday morning since Patti quit, and I told them I would and it wasn't till I got home tonight that I realized I was supposed to go work out that morning. *smacks herself* Can I get any stupider?! I haven't talked to Ran yet, but hopefully she won't hate me too much. I feel really shitty though because I was the one who got her to take this workout class with me and I keep breaking it off. I've only gone for one session so far and I need at least 29 more before March 20th or I'm a dead chick. I think I'm going to have to workout on some Saturdays or something and I'll probably end up working out on my own on Tuesday before my night class starts. Man, I need to fix my brain. I know! I need a wand and magical talent and then I need one of those bowls from Harry Potter IV and I could be like Dumbledore and siphen my thoughts out of my head! Perhaps that would help.
Humm... not much else to say. I think I'm going to fiddle around for a while and maybe be a bad girl and stay up late to watch a movie. I really want to watch Gladiator, but it's really long so I think I'll have to choose a different one. The Goonies sounds good, I think. :) Oh, and I was a good girl today and I worked on the new layout I'm supposed to do for my old work's site! I don't know if they'll like it though. It's a little bit crazy 'cause, you know, it's me and I just couldn't bring myself to do anything too dumb and overly simple. Sam says she likes it though. But then again, Sam always likes whatever I make... I think she's biased... I'll have to find someone who dislikes my work for next time. ;) lol Anyway, off I go. Nighty night. :)
Actually Sam, I call it pop too, but since I was just at my cousins, I have to call it soda for a while. lol My cousins like to make fun of me and snicker when I say "pop" and "coat." lol I wasn't aware of the fact that it was funny, but you know, whatever. ;)
I got my DVDs in the mail today! I joined the Columbia House DVD club and my lovely DVDs came in the mail today! :D I got a bunch! lol I started watching The Fast and the Furious before I left for work and I'm gonna finish watching it in a bit unless I decide to watch another movie. lol I might watch The Hunt for the Red October instead though... or maybe I'll finish the first one AND watch another! lol Anyway, work... it was okay I guess. Patti quit this morning though so they called and woke me up around noon and wanted me to come in... I told them I was still pretty much asleep. lmao They called again later too to see if I could come in a bit earlier, but I couldn't 'cause I was supposed to take the van to get fixed, but then my mom said she'd take it and I could just drive her car to work. lol That was nice. :) So yeah, I'm working 29 hours next week so either expect a lack of postings or some rather aggitated posts. lol If neither of those is the case than dang, something must be wrong with me. lmao
After work I got home and watched SG-1 on TV. There's brand new episodes on Fridays now and I missed the first one last Friday 'cause I was in Cali. :( This one was pretty good though, but there have been better ones. Plus, it still sadens me that Jackson's dead. I missed the episode where that happened, but I caught a few after it that talked about it a bit. He was my favorite character on that show! Gar. Johnas(sp?) is quite the hunk and cool though so I can deal with it. ;) Too bad there couldn't just be five members to SG-1 'cause then I'd have Daniel and Johnas... oooh...
I was also a good girl this evening and I added all the members to my fanlistings and things from when I was on vacation. I also got up the temporary version of the BSB Fanlisting so I know there will be a few people pretty happy about that. :) I have a question too... Does anyone want to take over the Erik von Detten fanlisting? I've gotten three offers so far, but I would prefer someone with a bit more graphics knowledge. Anyway, drop me a line if you're interested, but so you know, you'd have to find a place to get it hosted 'cause it needs to move off of my domain. lol All righty, time for me to jet and watch some movies or something. ;) TTFN!
Thursday, January 16, 2003
I finished Goblet of Fire on Tuesday night. I couldn't put it down once it really started to get into everything. I never expected that one, that's for sure. lmao Good book, but I think the third one's my favorite out of it all so far. :) I can't wait for that to come to the theatres in the fall! *dances* I'm so there the very first day. ;)
Wednesday I got up in the morning and my Grandma and I went off to check out Uncle David's recording studio. It was way cool! No pictures to show of it though. I took my digicam and everything, but I just didn't end up snapping any shots and we didn't get to be there very long anyway. After that, Grandma dropped me off at the mall so I could shop for a while. I went into the pet shop, as I always do when I go there, and stared at the cute husky puppies. lol Wanted to bring one home, but I kinda don't think that Angie and Balffers would like that. lmao Then I went into Hot Topic and I had to seriously contain myself because they had my bondage pants in army green instead of the red and I wanted to get them! lol I was good though and I didn't get them, any of the other awesome pants, or any of the shirts I really wanted too. I told myself I'd wait till I got into shap before I go spending a TON of money on clothes from that store. lol Then I ran over to the book store 'cause I needed something to read on the plane ride home. I got two books which I'll write more about later. ;) Then I wandered the mall and wanted to buy a bunch of other stuff, but contained myself once again. lol I did get two nice long sleeve shirts from Sears though because they were on sale for $11 each and one of them was one I'd seen before and had wanted so that was happy. :)
Shortly after I got back from the mall, we got all of our things together and Grandma drove us to the airport. We got there WAY early so that Grandma wouldn't have to get stuck in traffic on the way back. Mom and I went and got sodas and talked for a while and then did nothing for a while, then we ate. lmao By the time we were done with that it was time to board so we got on the plane. I didn't feel at all good. I was feeling sick at the mall and I felt better a while after that, but by the time we'd been flying for a bit, I started to feel sick again so that bit. We made it home safely though so all's well.
I downloaded "Rockstar Baby" off of boy most likely last night and I'm listening to it right now. I can't figure out what I think of it. I mean, I love the music and I love the way Nick's voice sounds in the first verse and all, but for some reason, it doesn't seem quite right. I think it's just me though because everyone else's blogs declare their love for it. And I mean, I like it, but I think it's going to take me some getting used to which is why it's been playing over and over again for at least a half an hour. lol ;)
I got up early this morning and met up with Ran and then we went to the gym. It felt GOOD. You have no idea. lol I haven't done ANYTHING to work out for quite a while and that hour did so much good for me it's insane. lol I'd like to go tomorrow, but I don't know if I'll get up early enough or if I'll feel like driving out there. lol Maybe on Saturday 'cause the gym's open then too, but that's rather unlikely. lol Definately going to work out a ton next week though I do believe. :) My upper arms are sore though... bad me for doing a whole bunch of arm stuff one right after the other instead of rotating with leg stuff. *slaps herself in the forehead* I won't do that again, that's for sure. ;) lmao
I came home after the workout. I had decided before I left that I was going to skip photo. It was just going to be watching a movie and I didn't really feel like going, so I didn't. I milled about at home and wasted needed time by watching Harry Potter instead of doing at least some studying for my history quiz. I managed to read the two documents and study the maps though so it wasn't like I didn't do anything. lol I think I did all right on it. Did a bit of BS-ing for the two short answer questions though. I didn't know what to write! I hate questions like that. I can't retain things from history documents... they don't make sense or they're beyond boring. I adore history, but the way they teach is sucks. Plus, I'd rather be studying ancient history and not US history that I've already heard about before. My proff. is kinda uhh... strange though. He goes off on tangents like you wouldn't believe and I don't get anything from listening to his lectures. I've taken one line of notes so far in that class, and that's it. Nothing else seemed very relevant. Plus, the quizes don't have anything to do with the lectures and the tests are take home ones so I can just read what I need to from the book. I don't think I'm going to learn much of anything from this class, mostly due to the fact that I just don't want to read the book or pay attention to the lectures. Bad me. At least there's no papers though. I thank God big time for that. :D
I was thinking about being productive tonight and doing a ton of site things, but I think I'm going to be a lazy bum, wallow in my sorrow and light depression, and just watch TV or sit around on my fat arse. I think I've defeated the whole purpose of that good workout this morning...
Tuesday, January 14, 2003
After my Uncle David and his family came over on Sunday, I ended up getting picked up by Mike, Kev, CJ, and Don and we went and played minature golf, lazer tag, and DanceManiax(They actually had it! Wee! lol). That was a whole ton of fun. lol Minature golf was quite interesting though... lol Between the guys trying to break windows on the little buildings and everyone having to shoot from the grass anyway. ;) I ended up spending the night at their house and in the morning Mike and I headed for Disneyland. Do you know they want $47 just for a one day, one park pass now?! I remember when it used to be like $25 and if I remember that it, then it wasn't all too long ago. Anyway, Mike and I went on Indiana Jones first and then walked around the park and just went on whatever ride we came across next. :)
After a few hours, we went and grabbed some food outside the park and then went back to the house to pick up Kev since he was out of school by then. :) The three of us then returned to Disneyland and I think the first thing we did was Autopia(which I kept calling Autotopia, lmao). Kevin in a crazy driver! lol Oh, and it sucked because a bunch of stuff was closed... all on the day that I came. :( At least Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain were open though otherwise it would have REALLY sucked. lol But, back to the story... after Autopia, we went into innoventions and I almost used one of the computers in there to do a blog entry. lmao But, obviously, I didn't. I did send some internet cards though from another and I created my own fireworks show over the Seattle skyline! lmao There's some cool crap in there. Word of advice though, don't go on their little car simulator... the seat cusion rumbles and it does NOT feel right on your butt. lmao
We got out of there just in time for CJ to call and tell us she was finally at the park so we met up with her and got some Churros. Those things are a must even if they are $2.75. lol We wandered around some more and went on a bunch of rides with our eyes closed to see if it was more fun. lol Not sure whether it was or not though, but it was definately interesting to do on Indiana Jones. I think it was when we were going over the bridge, but there was this loud booming noise to my right and I screamed. lmao After that we went to get me my Disneyland fudge(GOOD stuff) and then went home 'cause the park was only open till 8 PM that night. :( Mike ended driving me back to my Grandparents' right after we got back to their house 'cause I had to be ready early this morning to leave.
My Aunt came and got us this morning and we went down to Balboa Island for some shopping and such. I found a store with beanie babies and got a few(two people will be getting early b-day presents soon I think) and I got the beanie buddy of the white dragon. :D It was too cute and I couldn't pass it up! lol I also got a t-shirt, some cute playing cards(another early b-day present with those too), some holly wire garland(yay!), and a bunch of candy. lol I hope I don't end up rotting my teeth. ;)
After lunch, we went to check out the Orange County campus for FIDM and I met with an advisor and got a tour and everything. The floor in that building is BRIGHT pink. lmao No lie, I swear I'm telling the truth... it was great. lmao I'm still not sure if I want to go there or not, but it was nice to see it and I left with a TON of information to look over. :)
I was supposed to go to dinner with a whole bunch of people on my dad's side, but I ended up calling Mike and having him come get me so I could go see CJ's water polo game. I'd never been to one before and Mike and Kev have been playing for years. lol CJ's team lost, but she did very well, despite what she says about her performance. ;)
And now, here I am, back and my Grandparents' house on Uncle Jeff's computer. lol Lucky for me he's out of town right now or I'd be completely internet deprived. I donno, maybe that would be better for some reasons. Especially considering I just discovered that a copy of "Rockstar Baby" is now online and I've gotta wait till I get home tomorrow night to download it! lmao Speaking of tomorrow, I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing before our flight. I'm hoping to go to Uncle David's recording studio since I've never been there, but I don't know if that's going to work out. I hope it does though. :) It'd be really cool and then I think I'd have to bring my digicam and take pictures of me pretending to sing in the studio! lmao
Well, I think this is it for now. I'm down to the last few chapters of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and I want to know what's going to happen. lol I know Harry can't die, but goodness gracious, I hadn't even thought any other student would! *sniffles* Poor Cedric. :( Anyway, Gotta go finish that. lol TTFN!
Sunday, January 12, 2003
*giggles* Much love and hugs to Sam, Kriss, Mel, Aceetha, and Tori for doing my little Now Or Never survey from below. lol Loved the answers, very lovely. Oh, and did I gross anyone out with my answer to the first question? *looks around* I hope not, you know, it's just supposed to be funny and pointless... lol Anyway, thanks to you all and a big hug too!
So, I'm in Cali now. :) Got down on Friday night and my Aunt and Uncle picked my mom and I up from the airport and then we went back to their house and stayed the night there. I watched The General's Daughter with my Uncle and well... yeah, not my type of movie. lol Too much weird shite all about this murder and who may and may not have done it and whatnot. Yucky if you ask me and it also didn't help that there was a bunch of chest nudity in it. Not exactly what I want to see, you know?
Yesterday morning I got up and watched the first part of Gladiator(much more my type of movie), but had to cut it short to leave for the surprise party. :) It was for my Grandpa's 75th birthday which was a few days ago. It was great because he knew there was a party, but he didn't know it was for him(my Uncle Jerry throws a lot of parties) and he had NO idea that my mom and I would have come down from Washington and that my Uncle Mike and his family would have come down from northern Cali. :D Most of the party was spent playing pool on their brand new table that they got for Christmas or waiting for your name to come up on the list again to play some more. lmao There were a lot of people, always is and of course I either don't remember half of them or don't even know them in the first place and it's always fun to try and figure out who it is you're related to and who you aren't related to. lol I got to stay the night there while my mom went with my Grandparents to their place and my cousins Keith, Kevin, CJ, TJ, and I had a "slumber party" in Kevin's room. lol Everyone save me and TJ went to sleep right away, but TJ and I stayed up till 1:30AM watching Anaconda on TV. lol I went to bed early! Would you look at that. ;)
We got up this morning and said good-bye to everyone at Uncle Jerry's and then my Uncle Mike and his family came with me to my Grandparent's house for breakfast and then we said good-bye to them. Now I'm sitting here on my Uncle Jeff's computer waiting for my Uncle David and his family to get here. lmao If you hadn't already grasped this, I've got a lot of Aunts and Uncles and a lot of cousins too. lol Plus, I know a lot of my second cousins and then tend to hang around at the parties and things as well. lol Nice big family and I love it. :D Anyway, so today I'm just chilling here I guess and hanging out with more cousins. I might get together with my friend Valerie tonight or Tuesday night, but I'm not sure if we're going to be able to with our different schedules and such.
Tomorrow I'm probably going to Disneyland, but I won't know for sure until later tonight. My cousin Mike's got a job interview today so it depends mostly on if he gets the job or not and if they want him to start right away. See, he's my only cousin down here who doesn't have to go to school and would go with me to the park. Hopefully it'll work out though and then Kevin and CJ would meet up with us after they get out of school and finish with their sports practices and such. I really wanted to go to Medieval Times while I was down here too, but I don't think I'm going to be able to. :( Bummer. Anyway, guess I'd better jet for now. Also, I'm not going to be replying to any e-mails until after Wednesday since that's when I'll get home to actually check them. lol Take care and I hope to talk to some of you on AIM when I get home since I haven't been on for a few weeks now. :)
Edit: Oh! And a happy be-lated birthday to Alex! :D I wished him one on his b-day, but I never posted then so figured I'd just to it now. ;)
Wednesday, January 8, 2003
Autumn's over and we're pretty darn bored. lol We already watched The Care Bears Movie(nobody cares like a bear) and then we couldn't think of anything else so we did a lot of nothing for a long time until I mentioned something. I told Aki that I'd had this idea to do something like my Now Or Never poem, but make a little survey out of questions in the lyrics. She thought it would be cool, so, ladies and gentlemen, we present to you... the Now Or Never Survey!
1. Don't you hate it when you sweat and your legs are going numb? Yeah, I do. I mean, when I sweat it makes the armpits of my shirts get all crusty and nasty... don't think anyone could like that. lmao And then, when my legs are going numb, well, I can't walk or really even move very well and that's bad for when I'm trying to get into the kitchen for some late night snackin'. Ya know?
2. What am I to do? You know, I'm not sure, but I bet there's some sort of doctor that could help you with that.
3. Why does she walk that way? Uhh... I wasn't paying attention to her... I was paying attention to him. *swoons*
4. Why? 'Cause he's a frickin' hottie, that's why!
5. Am I wrong or am I right? About what?
6. Who needs it? Needs what? Damnit, you're confusing me!
7. Who needs the stars so bright and the grass so green and the morning light? Someone I'm sure, probably a poet. *nods head vigorously in agreement with self*
8. Who needs the wind to blow and the tide to rise? Fishermen. And the fishes too, I'm sure. ;)
9. Who needs the world when I got you? No one cares damnit!
10. How does it feel to be down on your knees? It hurts... Osgood-Schlatters you know.
11. Baby, why the new car? Because my old one's DEAD! Can't you see I need a new car and I can't afford it on my own! Sheesh! *rolls eyes* Isn't that obvious?
12. Is it Saturday yet? Umm... no, it's only Wednesday.
13. Can we make it last? What? Wednesday? No, I don't think so because I'm pretty sure that it will eventually turn into Thursday.
14. Can you help me sort out all this information? Sure, but you need to give me the information first otherwise I can't sort it out, now can I?
15. Who needs flowers? I do. A big bouquet of 'em!
16. Where's the love we had? In Georgia, where we left it.
17. Can you see the fear of tears in my eyes? Aww... *tears well up in own eyes* Don't cry baby, I didn't mean it!
18. Do I have to cry for you? No, you don't... really, it's okay... I said I'm sorry!
19. Do I have to say "I won't let you get away?" No, but it'd be nice to hear anyway. ;)
20. Do I gotta stand in the cold dark night till the morning light? Burr... that'd be too cold so no, but I expect you to do something else less cold instead to make up for it. ;)
21. But why play games? 'Cause games are fun! Oh, I know! *tags him* You're it! Bet you can't catch me! *runs away*
22. Don't you care? *yells over her shoulder as she's running off, but she's too far away so no one ever hears what she said*
Can you tell I'm a bit hyper and that I've gotta be on something? lol I must be high on life again. lmao Anyway, please take that, fill it out yourself and post it on your blog and then tag and let me know so I can go read it. :D lol This is sure to amuse me for quite a while and I hope it amuses you all as well. ;) Well, off I go to find something else for Autumn and I to do before we leave for the movie! lol TTFN!
Edit: Autumn filled it out too... hers is funnier than mine I think... roflmao
Tuesday, January 7, 2003
Sorry for the lack of me lately. I've just been... yeah. lol Let's see... Saturday was the last time I had to work with the guy at Georgio's that I don't like at all! Yippie! He's been laid off, as has been a girl that never does anything. Only... I don't think they completely know it yet. Seems they both heard something about it, but neither of the managers has called them to tell them yet. That seems rather rude to me, but it's not the first time I've heard about it. *sigh* It's like my mom keeps telling me when I complain to her, it's hard to find good help, especially for positions at food places and such. So yeah, work was quite boring, as usual, but at least I don't have to work again for about a week! lol Only drawback, obviously, is a smaller paycheck, but you know, whatever.
Sunday was the first day I worked after LOTR started at the theatre. I had to take tickets for the first showing and that was... odd, to say the least. lol See, we pretty much NEVER take tickets. lol You pay, you walk in and that's that. But, apparently when we think the show's going to sell out, we do take them and oh joy, lucky me, I was picked. I don't think I'm a very good person for that job. lol Felt pretty dumb standing there taking tickets when I pretty much didn't even need to. lol During the movie, istead of watching it, I decided to read on in HP 3 and I finished it! :D I LOVE that one! lol Still found a few mistakes(thunder comes AFTER lightning J.K., not BEFORE it... oy *rolls eyes and wonders why more people don't take meterology or just have some plain old common sense*), but not as many and it was a lot better than the first two. I heart Sirius Black. lol And I giggled all throught the last half of that book... too wonderful. *giggles thinking about it* Anyway, the second show I sold tickets and that was much nicer except for when I was giving this guy back his change($13.50) and I first said that his change was 50 cents, then tried to correct myself, but said $11.50 and then just gave up, shook my head and laughed before helping the next person. lol I am SO sad.
Yesterday was the first day of classes... oh joy. Photography was the only class I had and it was fine. Then I had to go to work and that stunk and Andrew made fun of me again. He still thinks it's funny and I still don't. I think it was Autumn who I was talking to and she said maybe it's one of those guy things where they're like that because they like you and I said I hoped not. lol No offense to him, but yeah, no and that's not the way to go about showing a girl some affection, ya know? ;) I highly doubt that's the reason though. Just think he's an immature little boy like the rest of them. Oh, and in case you didn't put it together, it's not the Andrew that Autumn and I go to the movies with.
Humm... today... I went to school early to meet up with Randilinn for the gym orientation(sp?). That was fun because I couldn't find a spot and we kept calling each other's cell phone trying to figure out how to get there on time and where to meet and all. Finally worked and when I stood up after them just explaining the rules and grading(thought they were going to show us how to work stuff), I slammed my head into a metal poll. lmao I am SO smooth. And you know, I did it so I could be cool like Nick 'cause ya know, he likes to hit his head on light fixtures and I wanted to do something like that that I could call my own thing. roflma
After the head injury(I'm fine, got a nice hard head, lol), Ran and I were finishing signing the stupid forms they gave us and there was this section where you had to answer yes or no to medical things. There was one for if your doctor's ever told you you've got high blood pressure and whatnot, but I answered no to everything except for one. It was if you'd ever had joint problems, which I have, but don't really have problems with anymore, so I answered yes. Then, I get to the bottom and it says that if you answered yes to ANY of the questions, you had to get this special form signed and all this crap, so Ran, being the smart chick that she is, suggested I fill out another one and just put no. So I did. lol
It was photo after that and we got this boring technical assignment that he says we'll understand later. lol Okay... ;) Then I came home and watched Minority Report which I finally rented the other day along with Spiderman(watched that yesterday, need to fix the ending dangit!). Minority Report was good, but I don't know, I was expecting it to be different... better. Still all right though. Before I could finish it earlier though, I had to leave to go back to school for my first history class. I'm not exactly sure how that's going to go after tonight, but I've gotta take it and it should hopefully not be too terrible. lol At least there's no essays. I mean, there are "essay" questions on the tests and quizes, but that's just kinda more like just write until you've written everything you need to(or can remember). The good news about my weird schedule this quarter though is that I don't have to go to school on Wednesdays or Thursdays! lol That being so, Autumn's coming over tomorrow morning and we're going to hang and then go down into town to watch LOTR. :) Yay!
Humm... not much else except that I'm going to Cali on Friday for a few days. *dances* I'm quite excited about that, although, I'm also wondering what's going to end up happening. The adults in the family(Uncles mainly) don't exactly get along with each other. As a matter of fact, one of them pretty much hates another. It's a male thing in the family... they're all just as stuborn and thick-headed. Wow... hope none of my Uncles read this and none of my male cousins either... lol I still love you all even if I some times think you're crazy! lol Allrighty, off I go to press on in HP 4(started it the other day). Ta ta and happy day to all! ;)

Humm... took me a while, but I finally stole my blog back from Sam. lol ;) So, what did we do after she posted, eh? Well, we went to the arcade and looked around it, but didn't end up going because we saw Two Towers with her dad and her brother and that took quite a while, plus they didn't have ParaPara or DanceManiax so that was just sad. :( lol After the movie we went to White Spot(Canadian restaurant with burgers and such) and that was quite yummy. lol Then they dropped me off at the hotel and my parents were watching Dateline and it was about this TV pastor that yeah... is like stealing the money that supposed to be used for ministry and it's obvious that's what he's doing no matter how much some people that were on there tried to say it wasn't. lol While they were watching that, I was half listening and watching it while I read more of HP 2 and I finished it after my parents had gone to bed and turned off the TV. :)
Yesterday morning I woke up quite early for me and called Sam and my parents and I went and picked her up and drove to the mall. :) I got some cute shirts at Wal*Mart and two DVDs, The Poseidon Adventure and Wing Commander, which I reccomend to all. :D We cruised around the rest of the mall and I got some other stuff including two beanie baby bears(Kissme and Herald) and other stuff that I can't remember. lmao We also had lunch and Sam wanted to do a photo booth thing since we'd done the stickers the day before and they didn't come out very good, but I didn't want to. lol I also got out of digital pictures when we brought her back to her house. lol I'm so bad. But, she got some funny shots of me reading some Darwin Awards and while we were shopping too and I got one shot of her. lmao I forgot to bring my cam everywhere we went which is why I didn't get many of her, but I bet she didn't mind that. ;)
I started HP 3 on the way home and I think I'm on chapter seven now or something. lol Anyway, we had about a two hour wait at the border to get back into the US because there were so many people wanting to cross. And surprise, surprise, they didn't search our car or anything. Just asked about fruit and such and looked at our ID and birth certificates. That was nice 'cause it only took a few minutes and he didn't sound all interrogating like the guy on the way in. lol ;) [oooh, "Get Down" remixes now... lol] Shortly after the border my flashlight batteries started to die and I didn't have extras so I had to stop reading for a bit. We stoped at another Wal*Mart on the way home and I got some batteries, a new bandana, and The Care Bears Movie on DVD(Autumn hates me now ;) lol). Then we drove through a Taco Bell/Pizza Hut for dinner and they did my Taco Bell stuff wrong... forgot to put on the sauce that comes with it. Grr. Gave most of that to my dad 'cause it just didn't taste the same without the sauce, but at least I had some cheese pizza too so it's not like I starved.
We got home around 8:30 PM and I was bummed to see that my Amazon.com order hadn't come yet. :( However, I was happy to see the kitties so I forgot about that pretty quick. lol I ended up watching The Care Bears Movie and then reading some more of Harry Potter before going to bed. It was a wonderful trip though and a good visit with Sam. :D
I got up early this afternoon, discovered my CDs still hadn't come and was rather bummed yet again. lol Then I got ready and went to work. Andrew made fun of me. :( He said he was just joking and I told him it wasn't funny. He then replied that I need to get a sense of humor and I told him I had a great one. *sigh* Then just keep picking on me all the time. No matter what, it's gotta be someone. I've been told I'm an easy target and I should do this and that so that I'm not, but then I wouldn't be me, so I can't. They shouldn't be making fun of me in the first place. It's not me that needs to change. Anyway, I burnt myself while I was there too. I was picking up one of the metal lids and it was still REALLY hot so it burnt my thumb and hurt like shmeck! Then Andrew squirted some of our fake butter on it because Alonna said the oil's supposed to stop the stinning. Worked for a second, but not long enough. lol Now I've got this nice discoloration on my thumb... yay for me. Hahaha.
I got home and got on the internet. Talked to some people for a while and found a place where I could order beanie babies for a really good price. :) So, I got two more of Herald(I really like him, lol, but mind you, one will be a gift for someone) for only $8.50, but shipping was six bucks. Oh well, still not bad and I don't want to mess with going around to stores and trying to find him again. I might get some of Kissme too to give as gifts as well. :) They even had the 1998 holiday bear for $15 which is the cheepest I've ever seen. lol I'll probably get that one eventually so I can have it to go along with my beanie buddy of it that I got recently. I've blogged too much now and no one's going to read this so, farewell for now. :)
