Wow. It's been a long time since I've written in here. I decided to come back to this, mostly because I started up another livejournal to track/complain about my weight loss plans. But it's more fun to just complain in general, which is what this livejournal is for. YAY!
Anywho.
I'm going to meet a guy at Famous Dave's for dinner tonight. I met him online. okcupid.com to be exact. And I'm slightly nervous. I don't go on dates. Ever. So I'm gonna treat it like I'm going out to dinner with a friend. I think I'm more nervous about eating lol. I started this diet on Monday and already I'm eating out? Bad girl!
I'm thinking about quitting my job. And I mean, I'd find a new job and then leave. Not just up and leave one day. That would be rude. Fun. But rude.
So. I saw Harry Potter. And it wasn't as sad as it should have been. And not enough Snape. I love Snape. That is I really really love Alan Rickman.
Star Trek was like the best movie ever. The Fifth Element is still my all-time favorite movie...but Star Trek is creeping up there. Everyone was just so perfect.
Uh...OH! Moving in with Kimber. Soonish, I think. I dunno. I'm a little scatterbrained at the moment, and since I've had to work every day this week I am just really tired.
Anything else? Any new updates? Not so much. Jeez, I'm boring.

4:05 pm - Eh...
|
Okay, so I made a new livejournal...not because I don't want anyone to know it, or for it to be a secret or anything. I made it because I tend to talk a lot of World of Warcraft and decided it was time to make a journal so that those of you who would rather not read WoW stuff won't be bothered by it. It's goddess_teirnen.
So on to my WoW-free entry, lol.
John is home. I'm excited to hang out with him. I feel bad though...I work a lot. So we won't have a whole lot of time to hang out. But if he's here for 2 weeks like he said he was, it shouldn't be too bad.
I went swimming with Laura the other day. SO MUCH FUN. We dove for quarters. I think it's super funny that she can't hold her breath underwater. She has to hold her nose. Makes me feel like an elite swimmer in comparison. I'm hoping that we can make the swimming thing a weekly thing. I need to lose a lot more weight. :(
But on the plus side, I'm down 40lbs from where I was...

4:51 pm - Chinese New Year
|
Does that mean I have to make another 'new years resolution'? Or does that only apply if you're Chinese? In world of warcraft now it's the lunar festival, and that's what made me remember about the Chinese New Year. The prizes, like Lunar Festival Dress, are all Asian inspired. It's actually pretty cool.
You collect these coins from various people scattered all over the world and by turning them in you get prizes. 5 coins for a dress, 5 for a pantsuit, and they come in 3 colors each. Also there are recipes so that my tailor could make a red dress and pantsuit. My main character, Teirnen, has enough coins to get a dress and pantsuit in every color and get the recipes.
There are other prizes, but they don't interest me. Fireworks, engineering schematics, Festival Dumplings...I don't really care if I get any of those. And if I really wanted them, I could get them next year. All I wanted was the tailoring recipes so that all my characters could look cool in their Asian-themed gear.
I'm feeling especially nerdy right now...but it works for me.

I've found that since I discovered Facebook, I spend most of my time there...and nowhere else. Well, except Gaia, and that's only because I'm a bit nerdy.
I thought I should get back in the habit of writing down my thoughts. I mean, they aren't doing much good in my head. Not that I expect them to do any better written down anywhere, but really, who cares? I guess I figure if I have a safe place to vent I won't be as likely to snap at people...
Well whatever, I'm a work in progress. I'm working on it.

6:40 pm - Stuck in My Head ALL FREAKIN DAY!!
|
Margaritaville
Nibblin' on sponge cake,
watchin' the sun bake;
All of those tourists covered with oil.
Strummin' my six string on my front porch swing.
Smell those shrimp--
They're beginnin' to boil.
Wasted away again in Margaritaville,
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
But I know it's nobody's fault.
Don't know the reason,
Stayed here all season
With nothing to show but this brand new tatoo.
But it's a real beauty,
A Mexican cutie, how it got here
I haven't a clue.
Wasted away again in Margaritaville,
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
Now I think,-- hell it could be my fault.
I blew out my flip flop,
Stepped on a pop top;
Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home.
But there's booze in the blender,
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on.
Wasted away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
But I know, it's my own damn fault.
Yes, and some people claim that there's a woman to blame, And I know it's my own damn fault.

5:59 pm - Well golly!

It's been a looong time. But coolness...
The holiday was almost exactly like I thought it would be. Although my cousin Ryan was a lot more fun then I thought he was gonna be. Alyssa said she thought he's gotten more sarcastic. Which I guess is true. Although he must have gotten dumber because he egged my Aunt Marcia on...which was stupid in the extreme. She prolly won't speak to him for a few months, just like she did with mom. Good times. Well, Ryan lives in Wisconsin anyway so it's not really a big deal.
I'm tired of working...I'm gonna watch Supernatural or play the Sims 2 when I get home. I LOVE the Sims 2...
THANK YOU BETHY!!! If it had not been for you I wouldn't have thought about getting that cleaner. And now everything works. Hey! Have you ever gone to www.holysimoly.com?
Great website for furniture.
And shit!!! I have to finish making Kris's blanket this week. Argh....And it's super long....
Ah well. Make K & K's blankets and then make my own. I got some fleece yesterday for myself. It's cute...Pink with little red hearts......And skull and cross bones. So the other side is a dark gray....
Who's excited? ME!!! :)

I'm tired. I spent this weekend putting up Christmas lights with my dad. I also did the lights on the Christmas tree all by myself. I also wrapped our new gold (yellowish) lights around the garlands on the stairs. As a result my hands and arms are covered with scratches. I think that is my favorite part of the holidays. I love helping put the lights up. I love it when people are driving past my house and they slow down to admire the lights.
It's also really fun to see how well, or poorly, other people have done with their lights and decorations. And I realized yesterday that it's not only outside that gets decorated. It seems like every part of the house gets a little something. And I love it. I think this weekend I'm going to clean my room and the spare room and maybe put the mini trees in there. I might even get a little wreath for the bathroom. :)
I'm also really excited for having my family come over. Dad's side of the family come over on Christmas eve and we do the Chinese Auction. Which is basically where we all bring a generic gift around $20 and we draw numbers. Number 1 gets to pick the first gift. Number 2 can then chose to pick a gift from under the tree or steal the gift from Number 1. If they steal, then Number 1 gets to pick a new gift. So really it's in your best interest to be last. You could steal from everyone.
Mom always ends up with the gifts we bought. Like last year she made me make a blanket for the auction and now I sleep with it on my bed. She can't let stuff go. I love the auction because someone always buys a board game or something like it. And we always end up playing it. The only game we had trouble with was the Battle of the Sexes Simpson editon. Which I think was mostly about the Simpsons, which no one in my family really watches.
Of course the games only last until someone pulls out a deck of cards. Dad's family is really big into Euchre, so they play that til like 11pm...last year it was midnight. They take up 2 different tables and play, then when the game is over they switch partners and stuff. I love it. My cousin Atom (no kidding, that's how his name is spelled) joined the Navy and he just recently finished basic training...I think. So I don't know if he'll be coming home for Christmas or not. I hope so. But if he doesn't, I hope it's nice whereever he is.
Then on Christmas my mom's family comes over. And it's usually pretty boring. Not that I don't like my mom's side of the family, it's just that there aren't as many of them. They aren't in to playing Euchre or board games. They don't usually stay as late either. We basically eat, talk, open presents, and talk. Then they go home. It's easy....Although mom is talking about a crown roast this year. Which is scary...'cause really, how great a cook does she think she is. :)
Okay, enough. I'm sure I've bored everyone to tears. Go away! :P

Seriously though. I'm at work right now and I felt it was necessary to get this out.
I AM NOT ANGRY WITH ANYONE RIGHT NOW!!! Sure, things annoy me, but there is nothing that is making me angry or especially pissed off with anyone now.
That was just FYI.
Carry on.

Steve always talks about how cool Jack O'Neill is in Stargate SG-1. Alright, not always, but he mentions it. And he always says something to the effect of 'too bad he's Canadian.'
Uh, he's not. I was just looking at imdb.com and Richard Dean Anderson is from Minneapolis. He's American. So is Ben Browder, Christopher Judge, Don S. Davis, and Beau Bridges. The only Canadian is Michael Shanks. Amanda Tapping is from England. Claudia Black is Australian.
SO THERE.
Okay, so I'm sure it's old news for everyone, but whatever. I'm the Queen of Old News. :)

I feel really intelligent today. I started cleaning my spare room. I was all excited, I put my dvd's and all my games in alphebetical order. Well, I noticed that we have 2 dvd players in there. So I decided to grab my old TV from downstairs in the basement and put that, and one of the dvd players in my bedroom.
So I go downstairs looking for the TV and I spot Alyssa's TV. So I'm taking a look at it, and I notice one of my old framed pictures in down there leaning against it. I decide to move it 'cause the glass is broken and I grab it wrong and it cuts my hand. In a horrible place too. Right below my index finger. So the band-aids aren't staying on real well.
Fuck did that sucker bleed. Nice deep cut. I feel really special.
But on a better note, Everything but Water called me today to set up an interview for Monday at 11am. With a woman named Carrie.
Oh, and did anyone call my house at around 10am-ish? 'cause I missed a call and my caller-id isn't working. I'm freaking out that I might have missed a call from another place I put an application in at.
current mood:  ouchies! That HURT!!

Well this week has sucked. i've been so sick, i couldn't get out of bed yesterday. And I'm having trouble opening my eyes completely. Added to an intense headache yesterday. It sucks.
Plus, I think I'm going to quit my job. I had to take a week off from work to take care of my mom in the hospital so i didnt' get paid. But I took 30 hours of vacation time to cover it. But Sandy put it on my check for last week. Which i got yesterday. But there was NO EXTRA 30 HOURS. But she did take it out of my vacation time. What the hell?
If it doesn't get fixed today, I think I'm going to quit. There isn't anything there for me anymore. Dan isn't my manager, Rebecca left, Jean is in another department. I can't wait 6 months until I can transfer. Its not worth it. I dunno, i'm just angry right now.
But I do want to quit. So badly that I'll probably put my two weeks notice in tomorrow.

9:19 pm - Christina Rossetti (1830–1894)
|
A Daughter of Eve
A fool I was to sleep at noon,
And wake when night is chilly
Beneath the comfortless cold moon;
A fool to pluck my rose too soon,
A fool to snap my lily.
My garden-plot I have not kept;
Faded and all-forsaken,
I weep as I have never wept:
Oh it was summer when I slept,
It's winter now I waken.
Talk what you please of future spring
And sun-warm'd sweet to-morrow:—
Stripp'd bare of hope and everything,
No more to laugh, no more to sing,
I sit alone with sorrow.
current mood:  melancholy
