YAY!!! I'm going to see Aaron in concert!!! WOO!!!!! CJ IMed me yesterday to ask what my question for her was so I asked her if she was at all interested in going to the concert with me and she said yes! :D I didn't think she was going to so it was a very happy surprise and I told her that it made my day. lol So, I bought tickets yesterday. It's on July 28th so the excitement will brew within me all until then. ;) Hehehe. I'm so excited though! AHH! lol Okay, I'll stop now. ;)
Yesterday at work was great. :) Quite amusing, as usual. lol We had a few rounds of Go Fish and Anthony won most all of them! It was freakin' crazy I tell you! And Ben decided it'd be cool to take out his chin piercing(is there a technical term for that?) and stick a toothpick in it. lol I just shook my head and laughed, it's about all you can do with that sort of thing. lol We're playing The Matrix Reloaded right now so there was quite a long break for us in which to play lots of cards and they guys have their Game Boys too. lol That's pretty much all that hapened yesterday. Oh no wait there was also *cough* The Streeted Forums *cough*. ;)
Today I woke up bright and early for church and then came home. We had a nice little thunderstorm and it was rad. :D We heard quite a number of good, loud, rolling, and crackling thunder which is cool because normally it's like one boom and then it's done. lol I did a few chores since Kenny(my step-bro) and his wife were coming over for dinner and then I drove down to John's so he could put the RAM in my computer for me. :) It took a while because it was lots of fun to get my computer apart, but we finally got in a 256 MB(or whatever it is, lol) in with my 64 MB so now I've got like 318 MB. :) And then he also put in a Pentium III for me instead of my Celeron! He works for Intel and he had one in a server that he wasn't using so he took it out and stuck it in mine. lol My computer runs Photoshop so much more nicely now. lol I can minimize Photoshop and then maximize it again and it doesn't take a while to re-load itself, it's ready to go right away, it's friggin' exciting! lol *dances around* Thanks God for this website job that's getting me computer upgrades! lol :D
After that I came home for a while and tried to call some people to see if they wanted to go to Theatre Sports with me and Autumn and, of course, no one did, or they couldn't. Rawr. I'd invited Anthony yesterday and he was interested in going, but then when I called him today he said he'd rather hang around here and see his friend that just got back from wherever. lol I was all like, "*sniff* Well, fine then." lol But he thanked me for inviting him anyway. :) And Andrew couldn't go for some reason. Autumn called him yesterday and he said he couldn't, but really wanted to. He's too busy. lol So, Autumn and I went on our own(mommy let me go without an adult! lol) and well, it was fun trying to find the place because the directions I got off of Yahoo! Maps or whatever told me to go down a street that doesn't exist anymore. We finally found the sign for it while walking quickly to the theatre and that's all that's left because it's covered by buildings now. lmao So, we were a bit late, but at least we only missed the part where they explain what it is and we both know so it was okay. :) It was pretty funny, but we were both bummed because our favorite guy wasn't there. *sniff* Oh well, perhaps next time. :D Good times though. :)
I got back and saw Kenny and his wife for a bit before they left and now here I am on my computer that's now much happier than before. ;) lol I think now I'll go work on layouts and things and test Photoshop some more! lol Fun, fun, fun. TTFN!

YAY for me! lol I finally started that site for the guy from my church today. I was very bad for putting it off for so long. I've got the layout done though so I just e-mailed him the URL so he can make sure he likes it before I go any farther. I sure hope he does, but I'm not sure that he will. I do this every time I make "professional" websites for people. I finally come up with something I think is decent('cause you know I can't use my crazy colors and my creative little things on them) and then they don't really like it or something. It just figures. lol Maybe I'll get lucky this time. My mom likes it and my dad thought it looked good so we'll see. :)
Again, I didn't do much of anything today. I finally got a hold of one of my cousins though to find out when the camping trip is this summer so that was good. I was also going to ask CJ if she was at all interested in going to see Aaron in concert with me, but she wasn't at home and probably won't be till next week. *sigh* I doubt she'd have wanted to go with me anyways, but I had to try because it's much more fun to go to a concert with someone than all by yourself, speaking from experiance. So yeah, I don't think I totally explained this before. Aaron's performing in Cali right before the camping trip so I'm doing to fly down a few days early so I can go to the show. :D I haven't got my ticket yet and honestly, I'm a little uncertain because like I said, it's not so fun to go by yourself and there's really no one I can think to ask who'd go with me. :( But all the same, I still want to go. Oy, I guess I'll give myself another day or two to think which probably means I won't get very close seats, but oh well. :)
I've got another question. Actually, it seems quite pointless to me to answer it, but I will anyway just because. And I don't know why anyone would ask or think I'd actually tell them, but you know, whatever. lol ;)
What part of washington???
I shall assume this means what part I live in as I'm sure it does. I live in the western part. lol We'll call it Seattle, okay? And well, that's the best anyone's going to get out of me unless they talk to me for a long time over the net, talk to me on the phone, and I meet them in the company of my mother like I did with Sam. lol Sam knows where I live because we mail each other stuff and therefore she is special. :D Hehehe.
All right, I shall be off now. I'm going to "wander" around the internet a bit, play some games, and maybe I'll be good and work on my websites that need to get done. I wish that some of the people I want to talk to would get on AIM. lol TTFN! Oh wait! lol I finished HP at 5 AM this morning and it was good despite the MANY grammer mistakes and the evil Umbridge freak. Oh yes, and I do not believe that he is dead because that was just the stupidest way to "die" ever therefore it cannot be so. lol I'm truly going now, ta ta!
Thursday, June 26, 2003
Oh man, I'm so screwed! lol Okay, well, not really, I just need to freakin' get my butt in gear. I just now remembered something I was supposed to have done by Monday and well, it's not done. Won't take me long though so I'll get it done as soon as I'm done blogging here. :) Hopefully they won't be too put out by it. Egh. I'm also already supposed to have that site for the guy from my church made up. Not all the pages, but the layout at least and I haven't even started it yet. Oy, why do I do this to myself? At least I know what I want it to look like so I don't think it should take me too long, I should be able to get it up on the net for him to see tonight I hope. Ack!
Anyway, I didn't really do anything on Tuesday. At least, not that I can remember anyway. lol Wednesday, I got up bright and early in the morning and went to pick up Autumn and then we drove to the theatre to meet Andrew. We were a fair bit early still after I stopped to get gas so we went to the music store since they're closing and all the CDs and stuff are on sale. Of course, they didn't have any of the ones I wanted though. lol Figures. ;) Anyway, we walked out and saw Andrew was waiting for us. lol He'd seen my car, but he didn't know where we were. We went to IHOP for breakfast and talked and ate. We sort of hurried ourselves along though because we thought the movie was starting sooner that it had said on the internet 'cause their sign at the the theatre said it was at a different time. Come to find out when we got the tickets, the internet was right. lol Oh well, it worked out just fine. :) We saw Hollywood Homicide and man was it ever funny as heck! lol Some things we viewed as slightly innapropriate that we didn't particularly like, but most movies have that now. Anyway, it was VERY funny and we all enjoyed it a lot. :D
After the movie we talked by our cars for a bit before Andrew had to go and Autumn and I went over to the arcade for a while. We didn't stay very long, but it was fun. Then we got shakes from Baskin Robbins and a guy asked if he could clean the windows on my car. I was all like, "No, thank you." He scared me a bit. But after that we drove to the mall. Not the usual one, but the one that's got Hot Topic and stuff. I was doing really good not buying anything until we went into Hot Topic. lol I got the Grumpy Bear arm warmers I'd wanted to get last time. lol And I also finally broke down and got myself the Grumpy Bear perfume because I've been wanting it for forever. It smells all nice and vanilla-y. :) And I also got a sliver chain with a star on it. It's rad. lol So, all in all, I spent over $40 on three things from there. Sheesh, that place is expensive. Good thing they didn't have the pants I wanted in my size any longer otherwise I would have probably spent more. I forget what I did last night after I got home. lol Oh no wait, I remember. ;) lol
When I got home I did, you know, junk and then I got on the internet later and I talked to Sam for a while and I bought two new domains. lol I'm not telling which ones yet though. ;) lol Sam knows, but I don't think she'll tell either. I will tell you the extensions though. I got a .us and a .ws. Why? Just because, really. lol I missed have a two letter TLD extension(I used to have a .cx) and to top it off, GoDaddy had the .us names for only $4.95 and I've just sort of been wanting one so I got it because you just can't pass up a price like that! lmao And then I just sort of thought a .ws would be fun too. lol Actually, Autumn sort of knows what the .ws is because it's from a song and I mentioned to her that I thought that would make a way cute domain name. :D
Today I didn't really do much of anything either. lol I actually woke up at 10-something in the morning feeling quite refreshed, but since I was too lazy to get out of bed at that point, I feel back asleep. I woke up a few more times and then fell back asleep again before getting up around 2-something. Kenny, my step-brother, called asking for my dad. He thought today was his day off, but it wasn't. lol Anyway, I guess Kenny got promoted or something so that's cool for him and all. :) I read a bunch of HP before mom got home. Then there was some interesting mail. First, a letter from my youth pastor saying he's resigned. He's going to be there until mid-August still though. Anyway, I'd heard something from Tracey that he'd been fired a few weeks ago when I had lunch with her so I don't know what this resigned thing is about. Whatever. lol I feel bad though. A lot of the kids at my church didn't really like him. I never had anything against him, but they did. He was a bit... I don't know, he just needs to loosen up more. He's better now than he used to be though. I don't go to youth group anymore though anyway, haven't for a while. The other bit of interesting mail was the insurance bill. Normally, that would be a bad thing, but it's cheeper than we thought it was going to be so I don't have to pay as much!!!! *dances* I was so happy! lol I shouted my thanks to the Lord and then literally did this happy little dance-jumping thing. lol It was my jig of cheeper insurance payment happiness. Hahaha.
Nothing else has really happened so far either. I've just got lots of internet stuff to get done and I want to read more HP. Joyous for me. lol Oh yes, and I've got questions that have been sitting in my inbox for a while.
What would you do if Nick Carter bumped into you in a shop?
Holy shoot! I don't really know! lmao I guess the only way to really tell would be for it to happen, but I could take a guess. I'd probably not even notice he was in there until we bumped and then I wouldn't even look up to see who it was. I'd probably automatically appologise and then move away at which point, I'd look to see who it was. And see that it was Nick, I'd probably have a string of jumbled thoughts swirl through my head. Then I'd want to say hi, but I'd feel stupid about walking back over to him after having already walked away so I don't know that I'd do it. lol I think I need mental help. I'd probably find some way to "casually" walk by him again though and see if a "hello" situation presented itself or something. lmao
How old are you?
*checks to see if it says that in the little section to the left* Huh, it doesn't. lol Well, I'm 18. Have been since April the 6th of this year.
Also, a note. Someone asked me about how to put a blog into a tables layout and if you're still wondering, then e-mail me about it and I'll do my best to explain it to you. :) I just didn't really feel like explaining it here on my blog entry. lol Well, I'd best be off to accomplish some things. Wish me luck! :)
Monday, June 23, 2003
It's really interesting how God works in your life over time. When you think you've hit some sort of peak of understanding or some point in the person you are, you realize that you're still climbing. I can't really explain what's happened recently and today that's done this for me, but something has. In time, it'll be written on here, there's no doubt about that, but for now, I have to keep a secret. It's interesting and I think it's going to bring about some changes in my life and the person I've come to be at this point. All good changes though and I find it sort of funny because they'll be brought on by something that's happened to someone else, not me. I feel like that's all I can say about this right now before wanting to say anymore. Just know, it's not a bad thing, and despite what could be bad about it, it's all very good. I probably would have had something different to say a year or less ago, but I don't know. Humm... I'd best stop with this as none of you who read this will understand what the heck I'm talking about anyway. ;)
I know I haven't blogged for quite some time. It's not that I did it on purpose, it just sort of happened. I didn't feel like posting last Wednesday and then Autumn was over on Thursday too. I would have blogged on Friday, but I decided to take a shift at work for Wes. It turned out that is was partially his shift and partially his brother Nate's as well. lol They were both supposed to work that night, but Nate and Wes had to do things at opposite times so I worked and Nate worked the first show and Wes the second. I hadn't seen Nate or Wes for a while so it was nice to see them both and I talked with Wes a bit and that was nice as well. :) Then I stayed up till 5 AM finishing the third Harry Potter book. lmao And so of course, I slept for a while on Saturday morning and woke up when the 5th book arrived at the door. :) About an hour later, I discovered I'd actually been sent two copies! lol I think I was only charged for one, because that's all I ordered, but I still need to get on the phone with the bank and check to make sure. lol Because if they did charge me, then I need to send the book back and get a refund since I only ordered one copy. lol Still quite funny though. ;)
I got to work on Saturday and of course I brought the book with me and the first thing anyone said to me was, "So how far are you in the book Holly?" lol That was said by Ben who had bought the book at 2 AM from QFC. lmao Saturday work was fine and then I went home and read a few chapters of the book and went to bed just after midnight so that I could actually mangage to get up early Sunday morning for church. I had to be there to run the computer for the song lyrics that are projected during worship. :) I do that once every month now and it's good because I like doing it and I get to help out at the church at the same time so I feel like I'm not entirely useless. ;) lol After church I went to Starbucks to get a cider and a doughnut and then went over to John's house. He's this guy from my church and my mom's friends with his wife so my mom told her about my interest in doing websites and she told her husband so John called me up and asked me if I'd be interested in doing some work for him. So I met with him on Sunday after church to talk about what sort of site setup and whatnot he wanted. I was going to start it today, but I didn't end up being able to so I'll have to get started on it tomorrow as he wants to see something quick as possible. He gave me two free sticks of RAM for my comp. too! lol Apparently he works for Intel so he can do stuff like that. ;) lol I haven't had the chance to stick either of them in my computer yet and see if they're compatible though. Hopefully I'll do that tomorrow and then maybe Photoshop will run much nicer seeing as how it was meant to run on more RAM than my 64 Megs was meant to handle. ;) lol
After that I ran home real quick and then left again. I went by Claire's and the stationary store and got a few small things from Claire's and then a card and gift bag from the stationary place. I thought I'd add some extra things to Jana's grad present(a book) and get her a card and some sort of wrapping before I headed to her grad party. I thought I was going to end up being slightly late, but turned out I was 15 minutes early and half the people didn't get their until 30 minutes after it started anyway. So, here I was assuming that like a lot of people I knew were going to be there and whatnot, but Jana, her mom, dad and two sisters were the only ones I did. I thought some of our other friends were going to be there, but they weren't, it was mostly just Jana's family and then two of her other teen-aged friends showed up, but I had no idea who they were. Needless to say, the whole thing wasn't very fun for me. Plus we can add the fact that Jana mostly ignored me the intire time. Half of me really wants to go into details here and rant about it, but I'm trying not to be complainy about these sorts of things and just take them as sort of, they happen now. I left a bit earlier than I needed to to go to work because I really didn't want to be there anymore. So, I drove to work and read some of HP in my car while I waited for time to roll around for me to go inside. By the time I went in, I was a minute or two late and all the guys were already there. I worked with Brian, Brian, Ben and Anthony.
Work was good and rather, I don't know... interesting. lol I guess it's fairly usual to be "interesting" though. ;) lol I was happy to see that Anthony had his bracelet on again(he'd asked me to make him a friendship bracelet since he'd seen all the ones I've got on my wrist, so I did, but then the next day he didn't have it on any more so I thought he'd gotten rid of it, lol). That made me feel better because I'd thought that he decided he'd hated it or something. lol Quite the opposite though apparently because he asked me to make him another one before the second show started. lol Wes was there because he was watching the movie with some friends and came early to wait for them and he suggested that I just bring all my stuff in sometime and teach everyone how to make them. lol Not really a bad idea either, maybe I'll do that this weekend or something. ;) Then Brian J., Ben, and Anthony decided it'd be really fun to call Brian K.'s cell phone and leave him 20 messages between the three of them! It was sort of funny the first few times, but then I could tell Brian was getting upset about it so I told Anthony to stop when he was about to do it again. He said no, it was fun so I told him I could threaten him and he didn't seem to be bothered by that, so I did. lol I told him I wouldn't make him another bracelet if he didn't stop. Hehehe. He turned around and had this half sad, half "you wouldn't really would you?" look on his face and was all like, "Just one more time?" So I said fine, whatever and he goes to the faucet and turns it on and holds the phone up to it. *rolls eyes* Them boys, I tell you. ;) Then Ben decided he had to go to the bathroom and minutes later yells from the guys bathroom for Anthony to go and have that on the phone so Anthony actually runs into the bathroom. I could not believe it. lol Poor Brian. Wes told me he was sorry I had to work with them and I said I was sorry too. Hehe. I got home and I was feeling rather depressed and angry-ish. I want to rant about that as well, but have decided to for the same reason as above. I watched "This Time Around" on the Family channel(it was cute and enjoyable) and then read for a while before going to bed.
I woke up this afternoon and got a call from Autumn and talked to her for a while. Then I called Andrew because it wasn't working when Autumn tried and she figured it was her phone. I left Andrew a message and then he called me back after a while. Looks like the three of us are going to a late breakfast on Wednesday morning and then to see Hollywood Homicide. Hopefully that'll be a good movie. :) Then Tammy called when I called Autumn back to tell her what Andrew said and I went over to Tammy's after I got off the phone with Autumn and took a shower. They ordered pizza for me, how sweet is that? lol I ate four friggin' arse slices! Mind you, not huge slices, but still, that was a lot. But then again, that's all I've had to eat today because I hadn't eaten before that. lol ;) Tammy and I had a very good very long talk and it was nice. :D I think I'm getting my friend back so that's quite happy. And here I am at home now. I need to update some fanlistings and I need to make Aceetha her b-day sign too. Sorry it's going to be a bit late girl! At least I already know what I'm going to do for it. *giggles* All right, so off I go now to do that stuff and I'll probably read some more tonight too. TTFN!

You know how when you walk normally and you start to lift your foot how it goes heel, ball, toes in a nice smooth motion? My right foot can't do that right now. It's a log. lmao The toes bend, but there's no other bending in my foot. It doesn't hurt quite so bad now, but I still have to walk really funny and I can't put full weight on it. Hopefully it'll feel better after I've had some sleep. Who knows when that will be though. I know I should go to sleep, but I just don't want to and I don't exactly feel tired although I'm sure eventually I'd get to sleep if I got into bed. *sigh* I need to liven up my life. It's boring as heck right now. lol Oh, and thanks Kriss for your concern about my foot and your feedback on that layout. :) Speaking of layouts... I launched the stargate fanlisting and I really love how the layout turned out there. It's about the same style as the remixes one and I love it. :D
I had to delete more tag entries because I swear, mine's somehow mixed with someone else's or something. lol Either that or random stupid people just come by and tag weird crap. Whatever. I've finally got some questions too. Some of them are odd to me, but okay. lol
Who is Nick Carter dating?
How the hell should I know? lol The closest I've ever gotten to him is looking down from about 10 feet above his head at a concert and that was a while ago. I don't really care about who he is or isn't dating. I don't keep up with that stuff. All I care about as far as news of him goes is stuff about new songs, his acting, and good articles and interviews. In short, I don't know who he's dating or if he's dating anyone right now.
Are you crazy?
Was this some random person or was it one of my online friends being silly with me? lol It really depends on how you'd like to define crazy. I'm not crazy as in I should be locked up somewhere or I might do something to harm myself or someone else, but I could be classified as like, fun crazy and hyper crazy. lol When I get in a position where I'm comfortable, I can get a little, I don't know, out there, but that's it. ;)
What's your favorite music?
Backstreet Boys. lol Always has and always will be my favorite style and group. Of course, I love Nick's solo stuff as well, and Aaron plus a whole ton of other groups/artists. I like a lot of different styles of music. People usually hear Backstreet Boys and leave it at that and lable me as being some little teeny or something. I also like Linkin Park, Lifehouse, Savage Garden, Ninedays, Mya, etc., etc. Plus there's always the oldies. Gotta love The Archies. ;)
Monday, June 16, 2003
Oh happy day!!! lol I started at TheFanlistings and discovered the fanlisting for the Unicorn from The Last Unicorn and there I learned that they're making a live action movie out of the cartoon!!!!! *dances* So, I went to find out more about that and guess what! The guy who played the coach named Joe(Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) in Bend It Like Beckham is going to play Schmendrick!!!! YAY! Oh man, if I wasn't going to see it just for the fact that I own the animated version, I'd go see it for him. lmao I want to call Autumn to tell her they're making a live-action version, but her mom was not happy with her when we were on the phone earlier so she might be phone-banned for a while now. lol Anyway, I'm excited for this! :D Only bummer is that it's probably not coming to theatres until Christmas 2004. :( Arg. I must wait too long for it. lol I will though! :D
In other news, I've hurt my poor little foot. And it's my own stupid fault too! Arg. When I was talking to Autumn on the phone, I was sitting in the recliner(which also turns) and I was using my right foot to make it turn back and forth by pusing the coffee table(does that make sense to anyone but me? lol). Anyway, I missed one time and slammed the arch of my right foot down onto the corner of the coffee table and it hurt. It started to feel better so I figured it was fine and I took a shower and by the time I was done with all that standing, it hurt like heck. And now I can't walk without it hurting and I can only manage to move if I try and only use the outside of my foot. I even discovered that there's a nice lump there now from it. *sigh* How do I manage to do these things to myself? lol
I also ordered the 5th Harry Potter book off of Amazon.com so it'll get here on Saturday(hopefully in the morning, lol) and that way I don't have to drive all the way to the bookstore(there's only one around here and it doesn't get new books, lol). :) Oh, and how could I forget... I went and picked up my diploma from the high school. It's in a nice red booklet sort of thing and it actually feels really good to have it finally. It's like, complete confirmation that I'm done. lol And I also got the career packets that we did in 9th grade back. lmao It's got my bubble test results and everything in it and it even has the career research paper I wrote... on being a singer. lmao What was I thinking? And then the lady told me she had my cap and gown that I paid for and I was all like, I didn't pay for it. She said someone did so she just gave it to me. lmao So now I have a cap & gown, two of those neck cords, and a tassle. I actually wanted a tassle so I thanked God for that part. ;)
Then when I got home from that I looked at my placemat and I had lots of mail! lol I got my referral check from Active and I got four cards from relatives in responce to my grad notices. lol I opened up the first one and there was check from $50 from my Aunt and Uncle! And each card had money in it. lol It was crazy. They're all getting way rad thank you cards or something. lol
Last night I watched my new DVD of The Care Bears Movie II and there was a bunch of stuff I'd never seen before. The copy of it I have on VHS was taped off of TV so I guess they must have cut out some stuff when they ran it because there's actually quite a fair amount of scenes I had no idea existed. lol It was a little weird, but kinda cool at the same time. I watched The Musketeer last night too. lol And work was good. Brian J. taught me how to play Black Jack and we used Starbursts to bet with. lol I lost all my Starburst in the end, but it was fun. ;) lol Oh yeah, and I launched the Backstreet Boys Remixes fanlisting on Saturday and in a while I'll be launching the stargate fanlisting today. :) I was going to launch it yesterday, but I had to wait for my domain to transfer, but it's done now so later when I get on my computer, I can upload everything. :)
Oh, speaking of websites, that reminds me. I got a call from someone who goes to my church not too long ago and he said he'd heard that I was into making websites and he wants me to code one for him. lol He's going to start an online business. He was talking about paying me a few hundred dollars. lol I was all like, sure! Hehee. It's not for sure that I'm going to do it yet though. He's going to tell me more about it later this week. Provided that it all sounds like stuff I'd be okay doing(coding that I know and whatnot) and I've got the time(I'm sure I do, lmao), then I'll do it and get myself some extra cash. That would make great spending money for Cali this summer. :D Plus, I'd have to be good and save some of it. Okay, well, I'm going to attempt to hobble out to the kitchen for a bit of dinner or something now. lol Wish me luck! ;) *hobbles off*
Saturday, June 14, 2003
I just got back from errands and shopping with my mom. :) She wanted to go check out this environmentally safe paint and go to Wal*Mart so I went along. We also stopped at the mall so I went into Hot Topic and I got THIS! :D Isn't it cute? lol Last time I was there I got one of those seatbelt belt things and a tie on a chain. :) There were also these cute Grumpy bear arm warmers, but it's sort of the wrong season to be wearing those so I talked myself out of getting them... for now. Hehehe. Then when we were at Wal*Mart I found The Care Bears Movie II and they only wanted $10 for it on DVD so I grabbed one up! lol They also had The Musketeer for the same price so I got myself that too. :D I was trying to find The Scorpion King on DVD, but they didn't have it. They had it on VHS for only $6, but I really want it on DVD so I decided I'll wait a while longer. We were going to go to a grad party for one of the boys at my church(pastor's son, actually), but by the time we got there there would have only been an hour left and we didn't have a gift for him so we decided we wouldn't go. I think half the church must've gone though so I don't think we were missed. ;) lol
Well, now it's off to finish up the BSB remixes fanlisting and then I'm going to dinner with my folks tonight as a grad/dad dinner thing. ;) lol We're going to this place down in town that I haven't gotten to go to yet so I'm excited! :D Oh yeah, and it appears that the CD player in my boom box has decided to have an instant death or something. The other day it was playing my 100% Dance CD and it just stopped in the middle of one of the songs. I thought it just skipped or something, but no, and it wouldn't play any CDs I put in there. :( I tried again just before I started typing this post and it still doesn't even want to try and read the CDs. Arg. lol Guess that just means I'm going to have to use my computer for a while until I can afford a new boom box. I'd get a nicer stereo, but they're too expensive and it's not like I need anything more than a little boom box. lol All righty, off I go to be productive! WOO! TTFN!

Wee! The SG-1 premiere was awesome! :D Daniel came back, but he couldn't remember anything and Jonas was all brave and had a cute new hair style. lol It was slap dappy happy man! The behind the scenes thing was a little... eh, but it was kinda cool I guess. lol Three quarters of the way through that the phone rang and I knew it had to be for me because, you know, it'd just figure. ;) lol And it was for me, it was Tammy so I decided I'd talk to her 'cause it was just the behind the scenes thing that was on and I haven't talked to her in quite a while. I invited her to come watch the premiere with me and then stay the night, but she said no because she's got a thing against SG-1 'cause like, they didn't use the same people from the original Stargate movie and she doesn't think the series is any good. The girl is missing out! lol Anyway, I talked to her until about the end of the behind the scenes thing and I said I'd call her back tomorrow evening to figure out a time for us to get together and do something. She said she has something to tell me... that'll probably make me cry, and she's gotta tell me in person. I'm afraid, but she says it'll all be fine so hopefully all's well and okay. I must admit though, she got me thinking and that's not usually a good thing in these sorts of matters to let me think up my own ideas of what it is. Hopefully my thoughts are wrong.
Before all the SG-1 stuff started I thought I'd see if I could get a layout for the BSB remixes fanlisting going and I did! :D It's very lime green and black. lol And it's a bit different than anything I've done before, but I think it looks pretty cool and I like it so hopefully everyone else will too. :) I've got a few finishing touches I still need to add and the navigation and then it'll be time to code and get it up as soon as I can. lol And I think I need to go for a different layout for my fanlisting for the stargate because the current one I produced really sucks. lol Oh yes, and it looks like I'm taking over the "Scandalicious" fanlisting. :D YAY! lol Humm... oh yes, and I got $80 from my old-old work for the website stuff I did for them. That was nice. :D All right, I must be off now to do, ya know, stuff. lol TTFN!
Wee happy Friday the 13th/SG-1 day! Woo! lol And yeah I guess happy graduation to those that are. Give me Stargate over going to graduation any day! ;) So yes, if you hadn't already guessed by now(that's sad really), season seven of SG-1 kicks off tonight and there's an hour of behind the scenes stuff on the series too. :D I'm going to watch it and tape it. lol It starts at 8 PM and goes till 11 PM so during that time, if someone calls on the phone, I'm not answering it. lol And if it's for me, they'll have to understand and I'll call them back tomorrow. Okay, so if it was an absolute emergency I guess I'd take the call, but that's it. ;) lol And now, for a recap since I haven't posted for a few days.
Wednesday I went to work and Autumn came to watch the movie so I stayed and watched it again. Then Autumn came over and spent the night. When we got back to my house, I did a few online things since the server change for streeted.net had completed. I put the domain on hiatus. It'll probably last a month or a bit more, depending. I also launched the Black & Blue Tour Fanlisting so everyone go check that out and join if you're a fan. :) I really love the layout there, I think it came out pretty cool. :D Yay for brushes and lovely layer grouping in Photoshop! lol Anyway, after I finished a few things on the comp(I'd done most of it before I'd left for work at least), Autumn and I went out to start watching the many things we needed to watch. She rented Jesus Christ Superstar since I hadn't seen it so we watched that first and umm... yeah. lol That movie's extra cracked or something and only two or three people in it can sing and the person with the most solo songs really can't sing at all! I don't know, Autumn and Andrew and everyone else can like it if they want, but I thought the whole thing was just a little too much on crack for me to handle. lol Autumn was right that Simon was the only one in the movie worth having a thing for though. lmao
After that I put in one of the SG-1 episodes my mom taped for me from Monday night. It's called 1969 and I think it's my favorite episdode thus far. lol They go back into time to 1969(I rhymed, lol) and they have to figure out how to get back to the future and it's just cool and Daniel says "groovy" and "mine father" and wears great pants. lmao I was gonna apply for the fanlisting for it, but someone's already got it up so I'll just have to join it. :) After that we watched The Fast And The Furious because Autumn hadn't seen it before! I own it and I never made her watch it till then, I don't know what's wrong with me! lol She liked it though so that's good so now I've got to drag her with me when I go to see 2 Fast 2 Furious for the second time. Speaking of which, I applied for the fanlisting for that too, but the person running the movies catigory hasn't updated in a long time so I haven't heard back yet about that or another movie I applied for. *sigh* Guess I'll just have to try and be patient or something. Wish me luck. ;)
Autumn and I went to lunch and then to the mall yesterday after waking up fairly late. lol We were up till about 3:30 AM. At the mall Autumn bought a single of Clay's version of "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" and then we each got a shirt at JC Penny's. Autumn got a plain camo tank and I got this... I don't know how to describe it. lol I'll try and take a picture later or something, but it's red-ish and has a cool tassle hanging down the left side and it's sleeveless and very cute. :) After that Autumn and I had fun sitting in traffic and I had to have my mom call one of the guys at the theatre to tell them I'd be late(arg). So, I drove as fast as I could and got Autumn back to her house and then ripped it to the theatre. Well, maybe not ripped it, but I went a little faster than I should have. And you know what? Somehow I made it to work only one minute late! lmao My mom had told them I'd probably be about 15 minutes late(which was probably what it should have been, but somehow wasn't), so the guys had to give me a very hard time about being one whole minute late. ;) Then Brian K. whipped out this magazine with the 100 sexiest women or something so all the guys were looking through it and making comments so I decided I'd do tickets so that I could go and sit in the ticket booth and not hear half of it. lol Then Ben was talking about how the next day it'd be the 100 sexiest guys for me and I think I heard something about him and Brian K. being at the top. lmao I was kind of trying not to hear what they were saying. We ended up having a pretty darn good turnout though so that was good. :)
After work I came home and spent most of the night here on my computer. I finally blogged over at rocker-baby.org too! lol I hadn't blogged there for, I don't know, close to two weeks at least so I had to. I also finished uploading all of my sites onto streeted.net and I converted a number of my fanlistings to PHPfanbase. I love that script. :D And that's pretty much all I've done. lol I haven't really done anything today. I cleaned up the kitty food area. lol I'm currently just doing this and listening to music and I think I might get on AIM and see if anyone's on and maybe work on layouts. I finally got an idea for a layout for the BSB remixes fanlisting so that's good considering I've got to get it up by Sunday. lol Anyhoo, off I go! Ta ta!
Tuesday, June 10, 2003
You'll never guess what's stuck in my head right now. lol The "Santa Clause is Coming to Town" song. And did I hear it playing anywhere? No, it just suddenly appeared and the few lines that I know from it are stuck on repeat and you know what else... I like it! lmao I think it just comes along with my name. Yup, that makes sense to me. ;) Hehehe. Anyway, I was rather productive today. I took over the "Help Me" fanlisting from Chrissie a few days ago and today I made the layout and all the pages and uploaded it. :D YAY! lol I started the members list off fresh because I was too lazy to convert all the current members into PHPfanbase. lmao Sorry! I also moved it. Anyway, check it out and join! Stuck in the Middle, the "Help Me" fanlisting. :D So yes, I'm quite proud of myself for that, but I really should be working on other fanlistings that have to be up by the 15th. lol One of them is done completely(just needs to wait for the server change for streeted.net to finish), one has a layout started, and the other has... nothing. lol I need to get up at a decent time tomorrow, do stuff for my mom and then get my butt working on those fanlistings.
Oh, guess what else I've done today that I'm currently still working on? I worked on red-berri.net!!! *shock* I know! ;) I've been such a good girl as far as site things goes today. I suddenly had the inspiration to type out one of the many recipes that will be on there and then I came up with an idea for a layout, so I made it! lol I'm working on finishing the coding right now, but I thought I'd take a break and blog before it gets to be tomorrow. ;) That's pretty much it for today, but some stuff happened yesterday worth mentioning.
Yesterday I slept for a very long time, as seems to be somewhat usual, and then I went to work. Everything was going dandy and I got to take the $15 I'd found on Saturday because no one had come to claim it, but then, oh, it was not good. lol Matt had to change the CO2 tank for the sodas and he did that and he thought he'd done it right(he couldn't really remember how to, but it's not brain surgery), but for some reason it wasn't working. All the pops were coming out flat. So, Matt got another tank and put that one on, no improvement. We had to tell EVERYONE that came to the movie that the sodas weren't working so they'd have to get juice or water. lol Then we had to run around from place to place if anyone needed anything because we were short handed with all the problems we had to resolve. We lived though and no one made a huge deal about not being able to get pop. So, that was good. :) Hopefully it was just that Matt didn't change the tanks quite right and it'll be fixed when I get to work tomorrow. :)
After work I came home and watched SG-1 and checked e-mail and whatnot. I also worked on setting up all my hostee's accounts for the server change so that they'd be ready right away. That reminds me, I need to e-mail them about that. lol Oh yeah, and I updated shininstar.net today too. I'm having a plug fest so people will go check things out... hopefully. ;) All right, off I go to finish my coding. :D *waves and wafts away* Hehehe.

I freakin' forgot one of the coolest things that happened while I was at work yesterday in my last post! I was sweeping up and I saw what I thought was a napkin under some seats and sweeped it out and it was a 10 and a 5 dollar bill! :D lol And since no one's come back to claim it, I get to take it home with me after work tomorrow. lol The guys keep trying to get me to spend it on them because they don't think it's fair that I found it. lol I didn't get to sleep until quite late last night. I scared myself 'cause there was a spider in my room and I wasn't able to squash it before it ran under my bed. I therefore started thinking about how it would crawl up in the middle of the night to seek revenge upon me for trying to kill it so I couldn't even get into my bed and try and sleep in it, I just went out and slept on the couch. lol It sounds stupid, believe me I know, but I just could not sleep in my room. I tried and I prayed and it just wasn't going to work.
After my five hours of sleep, I was woken up for church. I went and got a carmel apple cider from Starbucks beforehand. lol Then I got to church and I helped mom with children's church. We had four boys today and that was it. lol They were quite rowdy at first, but the started to settle down about half way through the time and we watched Veggie Tales after the coloring and lesson was done. :) Normally, I would have left then, but yesterday my youth pastor called and said they were doing a little reccognition thing for the graduating seniors during second service so I stayed for that. I got a gift card to Starbucks(lol could have used that before church) and a 40 day lesson sort of book called The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. It's funny how God works because that book is exactly what I've been needing! lol I've been trying to figure out what the point of me being here is and what the heck I'm supposed to do now so hopefully this book will help me out a bit. I'm going to read the first day's thing tonight, probably when I'm finished with this. They're each only a few pages long so hopefully that will help me keep up with doing the reading every day. I must commit myself to this! lol :)
Work was lovely today. I worked with Brian, Brian, Ben and Anthony for the first two shows and it was nice. :) After the first show started I went and got myself a baked potato, a chocolate shake, and curly fries. Actually, I bought the fries for the guys because they were saying I should get them all lunch before I left so I felt generous and got them those at least. When I got back they devoured the fries and I ended up giving them my shake too because it tasted funny to me, but they all liked it just fine. lol I'd say they were happy campers. Then Brian J., Anthony and I played Poker and Go Fish. lol It's funny when we play Poker because I put down my hand and I'm like well, this probably isn't worth anything, but... and I end up winning! lol I have no idea what beats what or what half the possible hands are even. lol It was fun though and so was Go Fish. I got like one set the first time we played that, but the second time I won. :D
Then it was time for the second show and Brian K. and Ben decided it would be fun to drink shots of coffee. lmao They each had five! They're crazy I tell you and I be they're regretting it right about now since I'd imagine they felt drained by the end of the day. lol It was entertaining though. Brian J. and Anthony left after the second show and I was left to watch the lobby on my own for a while so I started reading the first Harry Potter book again. I've gotta get a re-cap before the fifth book comes out. ;) Ben came back after a while and started reading his book, The Princess Diaries. Yup, it's true. lol We both half read and half talked the rest of the time till the movie was out and he told me more interesting fish facts brought on by the sounds of Finding Nemo playing in the background. Ben insists that it's not Nemo, but it's pronounced like memo only with an N. lol You'd never know he's almost 21 half the time you're around him.
Heidi came just before the third show while Brian K., Ben and I were cleaning the theatre. Today was her birthday and I had no clue until she said so! She should have told me yesterday or something so that I could have been prepared. lol Oh yeah, and I thought I was all mad skilled because I brought a ton of bottled drinks down from upstairs without dropping them and then when I wen to put them in the cooler, I knocked over the cup of ice and water holding the spoons used to mix the espresso drinks and it spilt all over the floor. lol Yup, I'm so smooth. ;) The last show was pretty slow so I left not too long after the movie started. I got home and sort of milled about for a while before getting on the computer and accomplishing... well, only a very small amount of what I need to. lol Anyway, best be off now. 'Night!
Saturday, June 7, 2003
I was going to post earlier right when I got home from work, but of course I went and side-tracked myself so now I've probably forgotten half the things I wanted to post. Arg. Oh well. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUTUMN!!!! lol Of course, her parents took away the internet for now so she's not going to see it, but I still had to write it anyway. ;) lol Oh, and last night I applied for a few new fanlistings. lol As if I didn't already have enough seeing as how I've got three that need to be made still. lol Make that four now because I've gotten one of the new ones accepted. ;)
Andrew called just before I left for work today(woke up only about an hour before I was supposed to be there, lol). I told him that Autumn and I had waited for him and apparently he went back into the theatre instead of out into the lobby where we were. lol Oh well. I told him Autumn and I really liked it and wished him good luck for tonight's performance as well. Then I had to tell him that I was running late to work and had to go. lol
I got to work and lucky me, I was the only girl there for the first show. lol So it was me with four teenage guys and one adult guy. Their conversations are quite interesting and a bit odd sometimes. ;) lol Then I went to get food at Subway and bringing it back to eat it at the theatre gave Brian, Brian, and Ben license to make fun of me for the rest of the night because I like Subway better than Blimpie's and they're all Blimpie's boys. lol *shakes head* I swear, all guys are the same in certain ways. Every teenage guy I've ever worked with has picked on me and poked fun at me. lol The thing that scares me though is that I know a few of them from past jobs told me they sort of liked me so that in turn makes me wonder about all these other boys as well. I don't think any of them like me, but I didn't think that about the ones that did either. I'm just not good at these sort of things. lol
Crap, I know there was a bunch of other stuff that happened today during my 7 and a half hours of work, but I can't freakin' remember. Oh, I remember one. Brian J. and Heidi (sort of)taught me to play Poker because I didn't know how. lol And Heidi and I played a bunch of games of Speed like we have for the past few weekend shows we've both been working. Humm... I also saw James C. again. He came to the last show(which sold out and I was the only one who thought it was going to, lol) and ordered a medium Sprite which I gave to him. lol I said to him, "Here's the Sprite" and he took it and went into the theatre. lol It was nice though because it didn't freak me out to see him. I'm working on getting better with those sorts of things. I don't freak out anymore when I see guys I used to have a crush on. lol You know what I just realized that's sad? Not including celebrities, I've had a total of two crushes in my entire life. roflmao So sad. There's been lots of guys I've thought were cute, but only two real crushes whereas all my friends have had quite a few. Whatever, I'm fine with it and all's well.
Humm... can't think of anything else worth posting really. Tomorrow I'm working 7 1/2 hours again and there's church in the morning. Oh, I think I forgot to say before that I get to pick up my diploma the Monday after graduation so I'll get it on the 16th. Guess that's it for the moment. I'm gonna go have a snack and then I've gotta work on fanlistings. lol Ta ta. :)
The musical(s) Andrew was in were great! :D There were actually snippets from four different ones. Umm... let's see, "Jesus Christ Superstar," "Godspell," "Children of Eden," and "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat"(or whatever that one's exactly called, lol). Andrew was in all of them, but only had solo singing roles in the stuff from "Godspell" and "Jesus Christ Superstar." I knew he could sing, but I hadn't ever really heard him do it. lol And my assessment? The man can sing! lmao I think he could have whipped Clay on American Idol. Yeah, that good. And he's quite the actor as well, I knew that part before though. ;) lol Autumn and I waited after it was over to talk to Andrew, but he was taking forever to come out, so we left. lol I think everyone but him had come out and we were starting to get tired of waiting so we left. lol I guess we'll tell him we liked it later. ;)
I also went and saw 2 Fast 2 Furious in the morning. I really liked it. I was very pleased that it fit in with the first one and didn't screw anything over and it just kicked! lol I reccommend it to all and if you haven't seen the first one *cough* Autumn *cough*, then you'd better get your butt in gear and watch that one and then go watch the second! lol I liked it so much that I've been on a street racing/Paul Walker kick since I got out of the theatre. lol I kept thinking about it every time I was driving and then when I left to pick up Autumn, I wore my black shoes that are similar to the ones Paul Walker wears in the movie. lol And I even thought up some ideas for a third one! lol I think it'd be cool. Autumn just looked at me funny when I told her them, but she's never seen either of them so she doesn't understand. lol I need to like find the writer of the first and/or second one and pitch him my ideas. ;) lol Anyway, got more stuff to do and I'm watching the SG-1 episodes mommy taped for me since they were on while I was at the musical performance. :) TTFN!
Friday, June 6, 2003
YAY! I just entered the "Get in the Gate Sweepstakes" over at the SG-1 site! :D *dances around* I hope I win, but even if I don't, I still feel so jazzed just because I've got the chance! :) lol Can you tell I'm excited about this? Well, if not, maybe this will help... I might be on Stargate! I might be on Stargate! I might be on Stargate! I might be on Stargate! I might be on Stargate! I might be on Stargate! I might be on Stargate! I might be on Stargate! I might be on Stargate! I might be on Stargate! I might be on Stargate! I might be on Stargate! I might be on Stargate! :D
Martouf(not the character from the series, but my little tiger named after him) thinks I've got a good chance. ;) lol Martouf has been accompanying me everywhere I take my purse since I got him as I attached him to that and decided that he fits well there. ;) lol And he's so cute! Anyway...
I woke up at like 2 PM or something yesterday(Thursday). I felt rather blah so I made myself scrambled eggs with cheese(lots of protien in hopes that that'll fix up my muscles) and then popped Reign of Fire into the VCR and watched that. :) I bought it on my way home from work Wednesday night. It's one of those previously viewed ones from the Safeway movie rental department. They're cheeper that way. ;) lol Christian Bale is so slap dappy happy! Hehehe. I need to watch Newsies again sometime soon. lol After that was over, mom and I printed out some Grad announcements off the computer. Mom got nifty balloon printed paper and then we just printed out the fairly standard text to go on them. I feel kind of odd sending out the announcements since I'm not going to the ceremony, but mom said I should and people will send me money so I was all like, "okay..." lol
I went to work after that and I worked with Brian, Brian, and Ben. lol It makes me giggle. Lots of Brian's and lots of boys with names that start with B. They're all uh... interesting to work with. ;) Ben decided to share a little joke with us. I'm not racist, I have a color TV. lmao Whatever. It did make me laugh a bit though, couldn't help it. Then they were ragging on me because I said that you shouldn't throw computers/laptops away, you've got to recycle them because they're bad for the environment. I should learn how not to voice my opinions on things around these guys, they just mess around with everything. The good thing that came out of the evening though is that they reminded me that 2 Fast 2 Furious comes out today so I checked the times and I'm going to see it in the morning after I've had some sleep. :) Then I come home and put the grad announcements in envelopes and hang around for a while and then it's off to see Andrew as Jesus in the college's rendition of "Jesus Christ Superstar." Seeing as how I've never seen it before and I know they're changing some of it around, I think I may end up rather confused, but Autumn can fill me in about it later since she's going as well. Andrew's funny. He said he was going to take us to lunch because he so appreciated that we're coming. lmao I told him it wasn't nessesary.
Let's see... what else? Oh yeah, it was 90 F today! That's freakin' crazy if you ask me! I think it's supposed to continue on for the next few days too... arg. lol Hopefully I won't die of heat. ;) Oh, it looks like I'm actually going to get some money from the work I did on my ex-work's website. I didn't think I was going to because they told me they decided to put the change of layout "on hold" after I finally got it finished. *sigh* At least I hadn't gone to the trouble of re-coding all the pages yet. That would have really bit. Anyway, guess I'll get like $80 so that will be nice. :) All right, guess I'd better get some sleep so I can wake up for the movie. G'night all!
Wednesday, June 4, 2003
Let's see... Monday in the afternoon Autumn and I went and met Andrew to see Bruce Almighty. We were going to have lunch before hand, but I was a bum and made us way late so Autumn and I just got there 15 minutes before the movie and Andrew had to wait for us. I felt so bad. It was my fault. I was on the phone and then I had to put more oil in my car, etc. and I didn't allow enough time for it all. So, I ended up leaving here about the time I was supposed to be at Autumn's house to pick her up! Arg to me. Andrew said it was okay though because he was late last time, but I still felt bad because we were REALLY late. lol Anyway, I wasn't very excited to see Bruce Almighty because I wasn't sure if it'd be okay seeing as how in the previews it didn't look very Christianly. But you know what, it was actually very good and I really liked it. lol And the ending has a strong Christian theme to it and everything. Jim did an awesome job too. It was so bad though because all throught the movie I kept thinking about how great his hair is and he's like so way older than me! lmao At least I wasn't the only one 'cause Autumn said the same thing later when we were talking about the movie. ;) lol I got home that night and watched the rest of the SG-1 episodes that were on.
Late monday night while I was sitting here at the computer, my wrists and some of my joints in my right-hand fingers were feeling really sore and odd. It got me scared that I'm developing that thing from being on the computer too much, you know. But I've got the pads for my wrists that are supposed to help and everything and I would have thought it would come on gradually so I don't know. Maybe I've got some other problem. Some of my other joints/muscles have been feeling a little sore as well in the past few days. Maybe I need more protien or something like that. Yes, I'll have cheese and eggs later. lol ;) Plus, another thing, they don't really hurt while I'm typing, just when I move them in certain ways. I do not know, I just hope it's nothing really bad and nothing permenant.
So yesterday I didn't get on the computer at all because I was worried about my wrists. I went and met Tracey for lunch at a little Mexican place. It was pretty good and we had a good talk. We sat there for quite a while after we were finished eating talking. If you don't know/don't remember, Tracey used to be one of my youth leaders and she's a really cool lady that I talk to about things and do stuff with sometimes. :) I forget half the stuff we talked about and some of what I remember I can't really repeat at this time. I do remember we talked about me moving to California. She told me that when she talked to my parents on Sunday at church they both expresses misgivings about me wanting to move to California and possibly get into the movie industry. I already knew they felt that way. Or at least, I knew mom did, wasn't really sure about dad. Tracey didn't tell them, but she told me that sometimes risks just need to be taken and she fully supports me in doing this. I'm still wondering if it's what God really wants me to do or not, but Tracey helped me with that too. She knows a lot of good verses and has good things to say that help me out a lot.
After we finally left the Mexican place, we walked into this little ice cream parlor/gift shop that was nearby and I got this really cute little stuffed animal tiger on a key chain. I decided later to name him Martouf. SG-1 fans will know where the name comes from. ;) Speaking of Martouf, I absolutely adore him and I found out just the other day that he died in one of the episodes that I haven't seen yet! :( *cries* Martouf was such a cutie and a sweetie and I way hearted him. *sigh* Martouf, you will always be with me! lmao At least Daniel's coming back though so I can't complain too much because Daniel's always been my very favorite and I was quite displeased when I found out that he'd "died." Good thing I later found out that he didn't actually die, he ascended so now he's like decending or something to re-join SG-1 and that makes me happy. :D lol
I ended up going to Costco with Tracey just 'cause and we talked more on the way there and back and whatnot. She had me try a dried mango. It was... interesting. lol It wasn't bad, but it wasn't really good either. I think it was just a little too different for me to handle. lol I came home for a while after that and chilled while I waited for 7 PM to roll around. About then, I got ready and left for the theatre. I didn't have to work yesterday, but I decided I'd go watch Finding Nemo again because that way I wouldn't be tempted to turn on the computer. Heidi ended up deciding to watch it as well so she sat by me. It was good again. :) It's nicer to watch it with a lot of people than have a private screening though. Why? Because then you get to hear everyone laugh and that makes me feel good hearing everyone else laughing at the funny bits. lol I know, I'm odd. ;)
I actually went to be right after I got home last night, but I didn't sleep the best so I ended up sleeping until 10 AM and not getting out of bed until 11 AM. So I slept for close to 12 hours again(minus when I woke up a few times). Once I finally got up, I took a shower and then went and ran some errands. I went to the bank and then to the post office(*hint* Sam, lol). Then I came home and I took out the trash and dusted to that I could say I did at least two things off the list my mom gave me. lol I'll probably do a third tonight when I get home from work. I'll probably work on packing for a bit again. I'm feeling somewhat in the mood again and that way maybe I'll get tired and go to bed early! lol All righty, I've got a question and then I'm going to do a few other things before I force myself to get off the computer. *sigh* Please be all right wrists! lol At least they don't hurt right now really. Only when I move them wrong or put pressure on them. All right, question and then off I go.
How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?
You know, someone once told me years ago what the answer to this question was, but of course, I've since forgotten. lol So, I do not know how much wood a wood chuch could chuck if it could chuck wood. ;)

I'm not sure I really feel like blogging, but it seems I'm going to anyway. That being said, I cannot guarentee how interesting this entry will be or what it's purpose will serve, but I guess it'll be here for me to remember things later. Not sure I want to remember them, but it's going up anyway. I'll start with Friday night after my last blog. I fell asleep a few minutes into the first episode of SG-1. Mom woke me up around the middle of it and told me she'd tape the rest and I should go to bed, so I did. I went to bed at 8:30 PM. I woke up at 3 something and again at 5 something for brief periods and then mom woke me up at 8:30 AM. I got twelve full hours of sleep. It was good. :) I remembered something about Jonas being in some odd red-ish apron and so I had to ask my mom if that was part of the first SG-1 episode or if I'd had a really odd dream. lol Turns out it was actually part of the episode and mom claims it was more pink. lol
I went to work at one and I was late. I hate that. I have a problem with constantly being just barely on time or 5 minutes late and it pisses me off because, obviously, I feel bad about not being there a little early like I really should. Arg. Anyway, first show almost sold out, second show sold out and the third show had over 150 tickets pre-sold before the second show was even over. The third show sold out about 15 minutes before it started. lol I did pop all three shows. We ran out of ice the last one and Matt went to get the last bit of ice from the coffee area and instead of pouring it in the ice bin, he poured most of it down my leg. lol It was cold. I came home after that and I was going to go to Heidi's house to watch Castle In The Sky because she bought it recently, but she didn't answer the phone. Ani stopped by for a bit because she had to come out here to unlock her bother's van since he was at a party and locked his keys inside. lol We talked for a while and then she left a bit after 11:30 PM or so. I was up on the internet till 1:30 PM then I went to bed.
I got woken up for church this morning and asked if I could stay home and go back to bed because I was still pretty tired. It wasn't all just because I was up late, part of it was, you know, the lovely monthly thing. ;) lol Mom said yes as long as I agreed to get up at 11:30 AM. So, I set my alarm and then mom woke me up around 12:30 PM. I have no memory of ever turning my alarm off, but apparently I must have. I got up after laying bed for probably an hour and talking to Autumn on the phone most of that time. Then I got ready and went to work. Work wasn't very nice today. The first show was all right(sold out) and then the break time was okay(Heidi and I played cards like we did on Saturday), but then it kinda went downhill. I started to feel a little down in the dumps and a bit tired and then Heidi mentioned something about Ben having been mad at me the day before about the ice. He told me I was using too much(I didn't think so, but okay) so I tried to use less and I don't know if he was or not because I didn't notice, but Heidi thinks he was mad at me about it. Now, why he'd be mad at me over ice and the fact that no one had ever told me there was a certain amount of ice I was supposed to use, I don't know. So that kind of aggitated me a bit. Then I started to get really overheated and that, you know, wasn't very fun. I left and said goodbye and no one said goodbye back. :( Maybe they didn't hear me or something. Whatever.
I started to walk out to my car and I was thinking way too much and then by the time I got to the crosswalk I realized I was going the wrong way from where my car was parked today. lol Poor me. So, I turned around and got to my car, got in and turned the stereo up much louder than I usually do. "I Stand For You" was playing so I belted it out along with Nick and tried to make things come out through that. Then I turned it to "Blow Your Mind" because it's sort of a self-angry song and that's how I was feeling. After that was "Payback" just because that's a semi-angry song as well. As you can tell, I wasn't in a very great mood. I want to move to California. I can't tell anyone why and have them understand so I haven't said anything. I mean, what I've said to some people about why I want to move down there is true, but there are other things. I want someone I can really talk to. I don't have anyone like that. Like, I've got a few good friends and all, but I know what they'd say back to me and I don't want to hear it. I just want to say it and get a hug and one or two comforting words. Damnit, why can't I just know what I'm doing?! I feel really lost, uncertain, and when I just start to think I've found the way it's like there's no chance. I could say I just want to die, but I don't. And I'd never have the courage to kill myself and I don't want to die. I just want a little help. I also want a chance to start again.
I want to go to California or somewhere where there are so many people and none of them(or most of them) don't know me and don't have any ideas about what or who I am. I feel like such a reject up here and I feel so self-consious. But when I'm in California and I'm just walking around or hanging with my cousins, I don't. I feel good and like I'm wanted. The only real reason I have for staying in Washington is my mom and dad. More so my mom because I've known her longer, but both of them all the same. Everything else seems to me to be waiting for me in California and the more I think about the more it sounds so right. But at the same time, I don't know how to do it. How do I leave home and the person I love most on this Earth, my mom? I wish I could convince her and dad to come with me, but they both have good jobs they probably wouldn't want to leave and they've got the new house being built. Me though, all I have is them. It's getting late, I'm gonna go. I'll be shocked if someone reads all of this.
