So... Stuff happened... Uh... Christmas loot: tablet, spn season 3, i-cy, some diggital picture holding keychain?, hat, another hat, and a bunch of other junk... >.> Not much to say really.

Singspiration and some random babble about how I procrastinate.

Mon, 15 Dec 2008 14:39:53 GMT

Last Night after Evening Service the Church had Singspiration. It was a lot of fun. I'm a horrible singer. But thats okay cause it doesn't matter, everyone just gets together and we sing! I got to pick three songs "Onward Christian Soldiers" cause I really like it. "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear" in honor of the Christmas season and "There's Power in the Blood" not cause I know that one particularly well or anything, but because I'd always liked it and haven't heard or sang it in a few years. When I saw it in the song book I had such a strong urge to hear it again.

So yeah. We sat around and sang for a while and then we had snacks!

>.> Not the most interesting update on my life but whatever.

So Sunday Morning I woke up at... 1am... Church at 10am... didn't get home till 1ish and didn'ty want to take off my church clothes or over sleep so I didn't take a nap before Evening Services and then went to those at 6pm... got home at about 8:30.. ordered Pizza.... Went to bed at about 10ish pm.. Church is really good for straightening my hours out it seems... Only now I seem to have missed Ahnna. She isn't on MSN this morning...

I feel bad cause I lied to her, unintentionaly, I told her I'd have posted in the rp by the time she got up... She'd gone to bed at about... 8am Sunday? I was there, but still I don't know... Not sure... Not sure when she got up either, but whenever she did, I hadn't posted. I'm working on it right now... Er... not really... I opened the window at least and started typing, but was doing other things as well and here I am... not posting in the rp... I'm such an aweful person... I'll probably catch up with dA stuff too before I post... I've been... I'm not sure what I've been doing... looking at pictures without commenting them and not deleteing them from the que because I intend to go back and comment later? But then it turns out I don't. Such a horrible person...

A few days ago I made construction paper christmas ornaments... >.> I think that their cute at anyrate.. They kind of have a south park look to them as I cut out different colored pieces of construction paper and glued them together... I made Batman and Robin... Robin took a lot of effort but came out best. With Batsy I got kinda lazy... But they are cute I swear.

I've wanted potato chips for a week now... But Daddy won't take me to the grocery! I hope he runs out of pop soon. It seems the only way I'll get him to the store.

Okay, I think now I'm just avoiding fullfilling my interweb commitments... >.>

I'm determined to get my posts in the rp up before Ahnna gets on! Of course I have no idea when she was last on so... yeah... watch her get on like right now just to make me an even bigger liar...

So what have I been up to since my last post? A lot, but still not much. I've been on the internet quite a bit, but haven't been by lj. I still don't have a job, but I have found a good church.

1. MSN
2. Job?!
3. CHURCH!!
4. Dinosaurs?!?
5. 25 Most Played Songs
6. Books

1. MSN
I said I've been online a lot, just not on lj. So what have I been doing? Talking with Ahnna! And Spider... Sometimes Xannie, Carew, and Marcus, and for a little while DJ. Mostly Ahnna though. We've been roleplaying again. It's so much fun and haveing someone to talk to outside my family that really seems to care and get me and likes my chracters is all really good for me. I have so much fun with Ahnna. I have a great time talking to all of them and while I don't get to talk to anyone of them in person, I get to talk in depth... Sometimes... >.> I get my people to people contact in Church now, which is great.

2. Job?
Still no job. Still need a job. IF YOU CAN GET ME A JOB I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER. Meanwhile, I'm not stressed about getting a job. I know I need one but it isn't an urgent matter at the moment. I just can't have fast nets until I get a job.

3. CHURCH!!
As I said I found a good Church, this will be the fourth Sunday I've been going. I went both Sunday morning and Sunday night the past three weeks and today I went to church Sunday morning for the fourth time, I'll be going again tonight. I plan to start attending Wednesday nights as well.
I haven't been so happy or felt so good in a long time. I had realized that I missed church, but I hadn't realized how much, until now. It's really great.
Not only do I get to be around people outside of Daddy and Sarah and Momma, but I get to be with God more. Cause when people gather together in his name he is there. And it is so much easier to learn and soak up his word while with others. It just feels great and I know I'm being more obediant and it's great. Really great. I feel so happy while in Church after having been in Church... I've always been a happy person. I rarely feel down, but I feel so much more happy than ever when in Church... I'd like for friends to come with me... I just want to share the happy.

4. Dinosaurs?!?
I believe.
Big news huh?

6. Books
Okay so normally I might just list what I have out and what not but today it's gonna be a bit different. Not sure if I mentioned earlier but for a bit there I was kinda into the Ender's World... Enders game and sequels thereof as well as Ender's Shadow and sequels.
Heinlein is still my favorite author... Yeah... So here is my list.
I have 12 books checked out at this time.
I've finished reading "Variable Star" and "The Star Beast" by Heinlein as well as "Monstrous Regiment" by Terryu Pratchett.
"Time's Eye" by Arthur C. Clarke is also in my return pile, though I haven't read it. I read the first chapter and decided it most definately wasn't my cup of tea... A saying that's always bugged me seeing as how I don't like tea...
I've read the first 300 paged of "Shadow of the Giant" by Orson Scott Card, but haven't been able to read the last 60 yet... So it's been sitting there for the last couple months. Not returning it until I finish it.
I'm currently reading "Starman Jones" by Heinlein and am about half way through it. Sitting in waiting are three more books by Heinlein that I haven't started on these being "Double Star", "Rocket Ship Galileo" and "The Rolling Stones". In addition I have waiting to be read "2001: A Space Odyssey" by Clarke, "The Stars, Like Dust" by Asimov, and "The Mysterious Island" by Jules Verne.

ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOR
Ah. Lesee.
I've been anti-social. Even by my online standards.

So in the last month I've spoken to: Daddy, Sarah, Momma, a couple of Daddy's friends (and then only three word answers at most), and Danielle (because she sent me a message that made it sound like it was really important that I call her, only she just told me how she was making cookies and going to seaworld). Via the internet, I talked to Letty and Pinto about a month ago on msn. Other than that I've only been talking to people I've never met in real life via dA. Not that it makes them less of people, it just means that there is no direct contact and there isn't even the chance of them getting me to leave my house.

Wow. I'm almost like a hermit.

WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO
I did re-burry my sisters cat that the dog dug up. I had to go around the yard and collect all the decomposing kitty parts which smelled really bad.

A couple days ago I was watering my birds and aloe vera and discovered one of my babies that couldn't fly yet somehow managed to get out of the cage. Chased it around the yard, picked it up and but it back in the aviary to discover that there was a crack near the bottom of the door where it wouldn't close all the way. Daddy tried to fix it with a hammer. That didn't work so we had to build a new door entirely.

Then it rained. This baby bird can't fly and keeps getting out of it's house and onto the floor, so I was woried about it in the rain. It was raining hard and fast, so I put my leather coat over my head, grabbed a flashlight and ventured into the backyard. Which was flooded. So I went around the giant puddle to get to my birds, meaning I took the long way. By the time I got to my birds I realised that my coat plan didn't work, from the billy button up I was dry, but the rest of me was soaked through. My pants were practically plastered on. And I was cold. It's just not right to be cold in July.
The birds were all perfectly fine.
Deciding that I wanted in the house now and didn't want to take the long way, I went though the puddle, whicked went up to my ankles even with my platforms on. I didn't get muddy so much as I got my feet coated in the stuff that floats on top of the puddle.

I've been watching movies... >.> Lots of Star Trek. I've been drawing (a little). Mostly I've been reading fanfiction. Saiyuki mainly, Some Harry Potter which oddly enough actually have Harry in it. One in which during his 7th year he goes back in time and 7th year Sirius falls in love with him *twitches*, One in which Snape is really Harry's father and Harry goes to live with him in the summer before his fourth year once they find out about their relation. Then Draco's parents get but in prison and he becomes Snapes foster son, so now Harry and Draco are basically brothers... *twitches again* Another (Epilouge compliant) in which all of Harry's kids are now at Hogwarts and Harry is teaching Muggle Studies because he and Ginny are having problems. Albus and Scorpius are best friends. Draco is the Potions Professor and Harry and Draco have become friends... only now they are starting to become more than friends. It's Drarry. *slams head on desk* The sad thing is. I'm enjoying these fanfics and it is really distyurbing me. After two whole years, Thanks to a recent brilliant one shot by Thundera Tiger, I have gravitated back to Lord of the Rings fanfiction and am currently working my way through the over 200 LotR fanfics that have been waiting in my Authors Alert folder... By the way, I'm really upset cause I've been waiting like 6 months for the new chapter of Harry Potter and the Forgotten Heirs (Which is amazing Gundam Wing Harry Potter cross over... Also Drarry but I could care less because it is amazing)
I've read nothing except fanfiction and the first chapter of "Good Omens".

PLANS AND GOALS

So, next week I go job hunting. There is a collection of businesses about a mile from my house. I can ride a bike up there all should be good.. Right now I'm starting to get stressed though.

I'm trying to get in touch with my older sister: Tiffany again. For those of you who don't know, I haven't seen or heard from her since I was like... 8 years old...
She's in her late twenties now, maybe even early thirties... I found her younger brother on myspace. (Who I am not related too, thats the thing with half siblings, I have two sisters related to me by blood that are not related to each other. Each of my half sisters have a younger brother related to them by blood without being related to me in any way. Oh the joy. At least Sarah is a full sister.) I'd actually found him before a couple years back and he wouldn't give me her contact information so I gave him mine to pass on to her. I don't think he did... I actually hope he didn't cause if he did that means she wants nothing to do with me... Of course, I think the whole not hearing from her in 11 years might be a sign of that anyway... I just sent him a message on myspace again.... *sigh*

STUFF TO WORRY ABOUT

I think I've been sick. I don't know... It's like I just don't want to eat. The thought of food turns my stomach. Of course I eventually feel hungry and then I eat, but no matter how good the food tastes I don't really enjoy it and I don't eat, CAN'T eat as much as I used to. I can hardly chock down half a bowl of beefaroni before haveing to wrap it up and put it away for later. It took my four hours to eat a bowl of spegettiohs the other day. It's not right. I used to eat a lot, I used to eat when I got bored, but now eating is a chore.

I'm not feeling too awesome. I've been stressing about needing a job and thinking about how to go about finding one for days now. Next week I start the actual searching. But lately I'll just be sitting there and if I don't keep my guard up this horrible feeling comes over, like something has grabbed onto my insides and squeezed. It makes me feel really bad sick to my stomach...

GRIEF

A few minutes ago I found out that a guy I used to go to school with died a couple weeks ago... I don't know how it happened, just that it did. It's kinda shaken me. We were never really friends and even though sometimes I expressed dislike for him I got over that. I always kind of reguarded him as I don't know... I guess I liked him in a way... Not liked liked, but I didn't not like him. Yeah he did stupid stuff. Yeah he did annoying stuff, but he grew up a bit and he was a decent enough person... I can't really remember any thing specific anymore... It wasn't that long ago that I knew him either. Anyways he was younger than me... Not sure how much younger, but I know he would have turned 19 sometime later this year. He was born in 89, like me. He was still 18 when he died though... Would still be 18 if he were alive... I've never known any one my age or younger that has died before. Sure you hear about it all the time, but I've never known them. I find it difficult thinking that he's dead and all. His sister made a myspace in memory of him. It doesn't say how he died though and I really want to know... I'd ask her, but we were never friends. I actually can't stand that girl and even if I could, it would be in bad taste to send her a message saying "How did your brother die?"... I suppose I could tell her that I'm sorry for her loss, but I've never been good at giving comfort... I think there must be something wrong with me... It's actually not that fair to say I can't stand her. I haven't gone to school with her in a few years... two, three? I don't remember when she left... I'm sure she's grown over the years, I hope she's become a less antagonistic person... And I do feel sorry for her. she lost her older brother.
Is it wrong for me to want to know so badly how he died?
I can't even remember when we were last in school together. Me and him... 9th grade I think. Maybe tenth.... Was he even in the same year as me? I remember him but I don't remember anything specific... And still I feel this horrible feeling of grief for a boy I was never friends with who I haven't seen in so many years....

My dog is retarded.

Sat, 07 Jun 2008 20:43:19 GMT

My dog is rearded. Once again, she needed hospitilization for her problem. This time in form of stitches under her front left doggy armpit. >.> Stupid dog. This time we don't even know what happened.

To start with the tales of Sadie's life threatening stupidity, years ago she got out of the yard, the neighbors saw what happened. It was night time and Stupid... I mean Sadie... was standing in the middle of the road. According to the neighbors she was eating something. A car came and hit her in the head... It ran over her completely, but luckily she was in the midle and didn't experiance any tires. She must of hit her head on the underneath of the car.
So she is in shock, runs off around the block and sits against oyr back gate, the neighbors told us she got hit and ran off so we went looking and found her. This was late at night, she we had to take her to an Emergency vet. Stitches on the huge gash on her head, a cute little bandage taht looked like a bonnet, and a concusion. 400 odd dollars. <.<

The second time. Some people came over, Sadie went out to greet them and was naturally very excited. Like always. Anyway, we are all going inside and the dog is still hyper excited "OMG THERE ARE PEOPLE HERE!!!!" So on her way into the house she runs into my Daddy's truck (which doesn't even run because there isn't a gas tank) Anyway, the fender has this sharp edge on it, so Sadie ends up ripping her side open. It was pretty long and went through the muscle. Again: late at night, emergency vet and another 400 + dollars along with stitches and this time a draining tube!

Which brings us to last night at about 11pm. This time we don't even know what happened. Sarah and the dogs are out back. No, I don't know why Sarah was in the backyard at eleven at night. So she says that the dogs were barking at something and running across the back yard when Sadie suddenly started crying. Sarah says it looked like Sadie was caught in the hammock (which doesn't make sense, cause we keep it up fairly high and she couldn't have done what she did on the hammock) anyway, she takes of behind the aviary and I wasn't out there so I don't know.. I just know I was sitting at the computer and Sarah was all "Rachel get Daddy!!" and I'm putting my shoes on and asking her what her issue is when I hear Sadie whining, At the momment I wasn't sure what dog it is so I get daddy and am all "Daddy, somethings wrong with the dog" "What dog?" "I don't know" So we end up calling Momma and waking her up to come give me and Sadie a ride to (you guessed it!) The Emergency Vet, because Saide just can't get hurt during business hours. Now, I don't know if any of you know much about Emergency vet's but it costs 100 dollars just to have them see your pet. Even if they don't do anything it's 100 dollars. So, they look at her eyes, check her heat beat and breathing, take her temperature, and look at the wound... Which is like four inch slice along her armpit chest... and tell us that it is minor.
So they come back with the estimate, 900.00 -1100.00 dollars... Yeah... No. So we paid the 100 dollars for having her seen, took the dog and left. It was 1 am by then and she spent the nect 6 and a half hours on the floor... We stuch a clean rag over the wound and Duct taped her... >.> I had a lot of fun Duct taping the dog. A lot. In my defence, the Emergency vet told me to. So then we took her to a vet in the morning, we didn't make an appointment and because of that spent over an hour waiting. Once they looked at her, they told us that she definately needed stitches, they'd take her back, knock her out and we could pick her up at noon. How much was this going to cost? 150.00 much better than 900.00.

So now Sadie is all poor and wounded. She has pills! Stitches! A limp! And, to my great disappointment, due to the possition of the wound, she does not need an E-collar... Cause it's really entertaining when she randomly runs into walls and just stands with her cone pressed up against the couch in confusion.

Stupid Dog.

Sarah's cat died last night. George. He was one of Toby's many children and the only one we managed to keep track of... By and by, the Tobyesque cat hanging out 'round here is not Toby, the patterns on the butt are all wrong, I noticed this about a month ago while I was chasing it down to see if it was Toby... The tail is black and the back is black but they don't connect. There is a white gap at the base of the back before the black tail. Toby's black tail went straight into the black back, if that makes any sence. So now, I don't have my cat. Who could be dead, catnaped, or found someone she liked better than me. Her son is dead, and her mother took off a long time ago. We'd see her in the alleys sometimes, but she didn't want to be around anymore, I think Toby did the same and just took off. Stupid cat.
Anyway, Sarah came over like right after it died to burry it in our back yard along with every other pet we had that has died. This includes George the First, who was Toby's brother and died as a kitten because he liked to wonder and got squished. Midnight had had two kittens, actually she had had three at least, but she was locked in the garage on accident and ate one... Anyway when we found her she had two kittens and part of a kitty leg. Sarah and I each claimed one. I don't remember what she named George, but it was a girls name.. and I named Toby Tobias, and then we found out as they got a bit older that my Mother had been comletely backwards and Toby was the girl while George was the boy. We hastilly renamed them. I named all the kittens in Toby's first litter and we sold them all, they all had extra toes... >.>
I think the recently dead George was from her second or third litter...
POINT BEING, I'd only been asleep an hour or so when my mother called at eightish saying that Sarah's cat had died about ten minutes previously and they were on their way over and she wanted to make sure someone would be up to help her burry the cat. I was verry confused and all "Doesn't Sarah have finals today?" I thought it was 8am, and momma was all "Yes" which didn't help me any and I told daddy that Sarah's cat had died and she was coming over to bhurry it and he asked when and I'm all "Before school" Eventually I said something to the like of they'd be here in about 20 minutes to which daddy replied it was 8pm and then the world made much more sense. My mothers time of travel estimates were off and they took a whole half hour to get here. After she burried the cat she went back home and I went back to bed.
Why did I think 8pm was 8am? I don't know. How could I think that? Easy. I sleep with my light on. Why? Is Rachel afraid of the dark?!? No. I used to have issues sleeping with the light of my clock, I'd require complete dark. Now however after growing paranoia and a few bad dreams, the worst of which involved Draco Malfoy.... I sleep withe the light on so that Cockroaches won't get me. Have I ever actually woken up to a roach in my room? No. *knock on wood* But I fear them nonetheless. And I have thusly forced myself to sleep with the light on.
Moving forward. This morning I got up and went to the bathroom, heard something moving and quickly exited bathroom. Daddy is a pretty nosey person so he asks "What are you doing?" to which I reply "I was going to go to the bathroom" he asked if I was going back to bed I said no and then told him I really had to go to the bathroom, but I couldn't because there was something in there. He asked me how I knew and I told him I could hear it. He told me I was paranoid.
Whatever. So I went and gabbed the poison and went back into the bathroom and heard it again. Was I paranoid? No. There was a roach in the wastepaper basket and so I sprayed it. A lot. Untill it stopped moving. Trust me, put a roach in a plastic back and you can hear every single movement.
And then I got online and figured I might as well get on LJ... blah blah blah.

FINISHED!!!!!!!!

Thu, 03 Apr 2008 04:14:47 GMT

I'm finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For the last hour I've been half working on it and half watching LAW & ORDER... And now the second episode is on... But I've already seen it! Eh... I think i'll just change the channel and wait until episide #3 comes on 45.... I like Wednesdays, but LAW & ORDER is no fun if you already know how it ends... So yay, I finished my paper!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna run spell check, do the dishes, watch tonights third episond of L&O and then either finish the dishes or go to bed, depending on whether I finish the dished before episode three comes on or not.

Actually, maybe if I am awake enough I'll start reading Cataclysm...

I set a rule for myself and stuck to it! That I wouldn't read anything for fun until I was done with the paper!!

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 23:51:26 GMT

Now I have four pages!!!
-_-'
In my defence I got distracted by articles on morality... Ooops.

I need to finish soon... LAW & ORDER comes on like... three times tonight... That's three hours of television. THAT I NEED TO WATCH!

Okay, not really.

Three Pages, Buckets of Crazy, and Ramones...

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 21:45:30 GMT

Ha! I have three pages!!! And I've been working on it for less than two hours!!!

So I've realised with the Title page and Bibliography each taking a page, I only need 8 actuall pages of report... So that means I'm almost half way done!!!

I usually love ranting about Radical Feminists and their crazy, but have been unable to do so since picking my topic for the paper (some psychological type thing... like I can be reading the best book ever and be half way through it after reading it for a day or less and be assigned a book report that day, so I decide to do it on the book I'm already reading cause I'll be finished really soon and it is an awesome book. Yet as soon as I make the comitment to report on that particular book I lose all interest in it and it takes me up untill the night before the report is due to finish reading it because it is now school work and no longer fun.) but amazingly after strugling for a few paragraph I really got into it and am right back into ranting. Mind you, it will not be the best report ever, cause it is being thrown together like a rant. (Basically I'm reading articles on radical feminism and them dedicating paragraphs to them... I just got done with the woman earn 59 cents for every dollar men earn paragraph... pointing out that while the statistic is real, the feminists have manipulated it so that it sounds like unfair wages. It's not. Less women work than men and more men have higher paying jobs like that of a professional athlete and when they say women, they mean the house wives too, so it's not a sign of unfair wages at all, just unbalanced work force, but the feminists make it out that women aren't getting equal pay for equal jobs. They ARE getting equal pay. Feminists get on my nerves) Anyway, I just realised I had three pages and was so excited that I wasted my time typing up about a page worth of babble that is totally unrelated to my report and I could now be exactly half way done if it weren't for this little time out to tell people how far I had gotten. So, I just typed gotton... Which isn't that bad considering some of the creative spelling I have throughout this lovely report... I think I'll use yahoo's sapell check to check the spelling before e-mailing it to school so that it takes less time to print it up tomorrow...

As I read more stuff about radical feminists a phrase keeps coming to mind... I think Dean Winchester said it... "Buckets of Crazy." I'm trying to decide whether I should title my essay that... Currently, the title under which I have saved it to my computer is "I Hate School"

By and by, Punk is great for report writing...

I checked a Ramones cd out from the library yesterday. It has thirty songs on it, most of which I haven't heard. Some of the more interesting titles: "I Just Want to Have Something to Do", "Somebody Put Something In My Drink", and "The KKK Took My Baby Away".... Okay, back to writing!

Thirteen, Usernames, Malcontent, Compilations, and a Hunt

Wed, 26 Mar 2008 11:44:35 GMT

You have no idea how much trouble I have logging into lj. If the login window doesn't expire on me because of my dial-up, i type the wrong password... Repeatedly...

Library Garbage!
1. I'm number THIRTEEN!!!
2. The Problem with Picking Out REALLY Hard to Spell Usernames *sarcasm*
3. Because I'm Malcontent at Heart...
4. Compilation of Checked Out Items (And what needs be returned)
5. The Hunt

1. I'm number THIRTEEN!!!
Radiohead has come out with a new cd early this year. Actually it was last year, in October, but I don't buy cds and even if I did, it didn't come out in North America until this year... January first actually... But like I said I don't buy cds... With my lack of fast internet I have also been unable to download any of their new songs. Another problem being I do not listen to the Radio unless I have no other choice. Besides, they don't really play Radiohead on the radio very often... Except for "Creep" which is one of the few Radiohead songs I don't really care for.. (of course it would be majorly awesome if that has changed since the release of In Rainbows and I just haven't noticed because I don't listen to the radio) For those of you who don't know, Radiohead is my all time favorite group. #2 is Blue Oyster Cult and after that the rest of my favorites switch places and have no ranking.
Point being Phoenix Public library now has the cd! Yay! Unfortunately, I wasn't paying enough attention and hadn't found it page on the sight early enough... I'm now on the hold list and am number 13 in line for it... Yay me. -.-
On the bright side, PPL has 12 copies... 5 of which are checked out all due to be back in before the 15th... Okay three of them are due back that day... 3 are on hold shelf for other people, one in transit for hold... and the remaining three are all still being processed.... I should get my hands on the cd by... Early May... I hope...
I wish I'd been paying closer attention... I put Making Money on hold months before it came out and was number one on the list because I found the page as soon as they put it on order... I wish I'd have done that with this cd too... Oh well, I can wait...

2. The Problem with Picking Out REALLY Hard to Spell Usernames *sarcasm*

(My exact thoughts at the moment after typing in itallics)

First time I tryed (being the key word) to log into the Phoenix Public Library tonight I typed:
r_newamn
A short pause followed by:
That's not how I spell my name.

Later after having been logged out and needing to log in again:
r_mewman
After hitting the log in button:
That's doesn't look right...

Basically though, I can't spell my name.

3. Because I'm Malcontent at Heart...

And now I wanna put more stuff on hold, but I can't cause I already have three things on hold... I should be able to pick up two of the things on Tuesday... Did you know PPL is closed on Monday for Cesar Chaves day?!? Why aren't we out of school?!? I refuse to tollerate the Library being closed when I still have to go to school!! The library was open on Christmas eve!! Granted, they did close early, but they were still open!!

4. Compilation of Checked Out Items (And what needs be returned)

And now I have to figure out what I'm going to return, because I currently have 25 items out and am only allowed to have 35 out... Yes I can still have ten more items, but it gets hard to keep track... So here goes.

Batman : prodigal (Finished)
Othello (Oh right! I forgot about that....)
Feminist fantasies (For my stupid paper)
Batman. Volume 1 (60's batman... and over 500 pages long... )
Batman Chronicles Volume 2 (haven't even started)
The New Teen Titans : the Judas contract (Finished)
The chessmen of Mars (Have to read... darnit I forgot the order... Definately need to read Warlords first then maybe Thuvia, or this one then Thuvia... Heh... Ooops.)
The Number of the beast (haven't started)
Broken city (Finished)
Batman chronicles. Volume 1 (40's batman isn't bad, it just makes me want to slam my head up against a wall of spikes until I die.)
Batman : Scarecrow tales (Finished)
The Warlord of Mars (part way through)
Thuvia, maid of Mars (see The chessmen of mars)
Tales from Earthsea (haven't started)
Moving pictures (Uh... I have no idea where this book is at the moment.)
Nightwing : a knight in Bludhaven (Finished)
Rocket ship Galileo (Haven't started)
Double star (haven't started.)
Glory road (Almost done)
Nightwing : love and bullets (Finished)
The Martian way and other stories (I will probably never start)
Batman. Volume two (haven't started)
Batman detective (Finished)
The Other wind (So I was abouty 3/4 done with the book, but I stopped reading it for a month or so... then I dropped it and the bookmark came out and I lost my spot.)
Why don't penguins' feet freeze? : and 114 other (still sorta reading it)

So turning in what I've finished that's 7 for the return pile... I may just return both batman chronicals book cause while I can deal with 60's batman, 40's batman might be the death of me... So it is a definate 7, possibly 9... I think I will try to finish "Glory Road", "The Other Wind" and the three Burroughs books: "The Warlord of Mars" "Thuvia, Maid of Mars" and "The Chessmen of Mars"... This will require me to figure out which is number four and which is number five... I think he should have numbered his books... Like "The Warlord of Mars: Book Three" Would that have been so difficult?!?!? Of course had I not lost most interest after the first two books, I wouldn't have forgotten what order I was supposed to read the rest in... *sigh* And I had planned on reading all 13? Was it thirteen?!? I can't even remember how many there are now... Gah!

5. The Hunt

Now, excuse me while I try and track everything down...

Okay! Found "Moving Pictures"! Freaked out because I stacked all the books and read the spines and the library's sticker covered the title of "Double Star" and I thought I'd lost it... But they are all here and all is good and stuff... yay!
And now there is a stack of books covering most of my moniter.... >.>

Saints, Woopsie, and Easter

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 21:03:21 GMT

1. SAINTS
2. Woopsie
3. Easter

1. SAINTS

So I have a new favorite movie. "Boondock Saints". It is awesome... Uh, not much else to say without like giving major points away... It's full of action and it's funny... And all the little things make me happy. They definately overuse the F-word, but it is such an awesome movie elsewise I totally over look it..
Anyway, it's about these two brothers. They are Catholic... and then there is the cop type guy... and he is special... and there is the Russian mob... and the italians... and it's just awesome...

2. Woopsie

I slamed my sister face first into a wall. It was an accident... She was walking around the house with a paper bag over her head and couldn't see anything. So I thought I'd mess with her. I was all gonna shake her up and disorientate her... But in the process of doing this I kinda slamed her face first into a wall. In my defence, had she not had the bag over her head she wouldn't have been quite so limp and would have prevented herself from smacking into the wall. And it's not like I put the bag over her head, she did it herself...
So I knot on her forehead bigger than an eyeball and what looks like a bloodblister in her lip.
I didn't do it on purpose...

3. Easter

I went to Easter at my Grandmother's house... All of my mother's side of the family was there and that is a ton of people... I was bored out of my mind, no one talked to me and I was just SO bored... I thought I'd die of boredom... I almost did... And then momma wouldn't throw Ganon in the pool. You always hear about how if you throw a baby in a pool they will just start swimming and you don't have to worry about teaching them, but she wouldn't do it.... How am I suposed to know if throwing babies in pools actually works if no one will test it out. Meanwhile some of my cousins were planning on pushing people in the pool and I was hoping a certain cousin would try to shove me in so that I'd have an excuse to hit them... They are one of those people that grate on your last nerve just being in the same room with them.

25 Songs, Eggs, Superglue, Graychester(?!?!?), and Missions

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 00:00:13 GMT

Seriously, it is really really hard for me to get caps lock back in order after I mess it up... I just spent thirty seconds and typed "Seriously" like ten times trying to get it to come out "Seriously" rather than "sERIOUSLY" and it just took a serious mental effort in order to fix my intentional mistake. Anyway as I was going to say: Seriously this time, I'm gonna keep this journal thing current. *determined* It will be easier once I get myself fast internets... The plan on that one has changed. Daddy bought this new comp from a guy, it's like a super computer and had some majorly expensive operating system, but had been re-installed with a bad one so it is basically un-useable until daddy buys a new operating system for it. The thing is, as soon as that happens we will basically have to get fast internets, cause there is no where to plug a phone jack into, only ethernet. Yay!...

1. 25 most played songs on my ipod

Yeah... that is a lot of BOC... <.< It used to be all BOC and Pet.... and somehow Pet has ended up on there twice... which confused me so I went back and as you can see one of them is the creepy remix, so I went back and pointed that out.
I'm pretty sure both Aaron Kwok songs are only on there cause they are like first in Alphebetical order... Actually they come right after A.S. Kang, but that hasn't been on my ipod that long... And then comes Aaron Shust, but it's a weird version of "My Savior My God" and has like 30 seconds of silence at the end so I end up stopping it early and put it on shuffle.... and apparently it only counts toward most listened to if you listen to the full song... Why am I defending myself?!?! I LIKE AARON KWOK EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HE IS SINGING ABOUT!!! As for "Water Shows the Hidden Heart" being my most listened to song.... I have no idea how that happened... I only really listen to it when writing angst, battles and death sceenes... same with "Adagio", "Nocturne" and "Violin of Tears".... Well I guess that says something about my writing....'-.-

2. Don't Name Your Eggs Before They Hatch

Anyway! Really weird creepy dreams about Me, Arsenal, Nightwing, and eggs in the theatre room. Usually if I'm in a dream all the other people in the dream are from real life too...Or when the fictional characters show up I either become one of them or disappear.
In this one however.... I was there... Interacting with fictional characters...
Another things about my dreams is that though I am frequently married and sometimes have kids in my dreams, my husband is usually a faceless blob... Okay not quite a blob, but he is always unrecognizable.... With the exception of three (now four) times.
The first time I married one of my characters... Which was really quite odd...
The second time me and two of my male friends were at this pet store type place shopping for baby stuff and I knew I was married to one of them the whole time but I couldn't figure out which, I was assumeing it was the one I had a crush on, but as the dream progressed it was the other one...
Number three was a dream about the same two guys and again in the course of the dream I married the one that I did not have a crush on, of course in that one I thought the other was dead and didn't find out otherwise until I'd already agreed to mary the other guy. Ooops.
And now number four! I was married to Nightwing... He didn't make an appearance throughout the entire dream, but he was my husband and that is what matters.
So I'm at school and I have a shot gun... They had apparently told me that I could get out of Humanities and Film/Video and still recieve the credits if I worked security... Anyway, school let out and I went to the Theatre for a meeting with a bunch of other people and Z was there... and I don't remember exactly what was going on but Arsenal showed up and was all telling Zhana that she was in his spot, so she finally gives in cause she had somewhere better to be anyway and now I'm sitting next to Arsenal and throughout the whole Zhana Arsenal argument over the seat I'd been carefully lining up my eggs... which I had laid... I'm not sure exactly when I laid the eggs but there they were... I was putting them on this kinda platter lined with a towel or something so they wouldn't roll around and get hurt or anything... Anyway that platter was full and I still had a lot of eggs that needed to be delt with so I had him hold that platter and he almost let them all roll off. I was naturally pretty upset and started screaming at him for being careless with my babies and I was telling him that if he broke them Nightwing would be mad at him for killing his babies and he was more careful after that, but now the theatre was empty and the was a giant Nightwing face painted on the stage so we went and put all the eggs on Nightwings mask and eyes... I must have had hundreds of eggs and I was nameing all of them, but then someone, I'm not sure who, told me that only about ten of them would hatch and then I'd be lucky if as much as two of them lived. After that I was all upset and in tears and I wanted Nightwing and Arsenal was just standing there and no help at all.
It was really upsetting and has been bothering me for days.... I just can't get it out of my head...

3. Adventures in Superglue

On Friday I put a little plate that had broken into five pieces back together. WITH SUPERGLUE!
That was fun. I glued myself to the plate a total of three times, glues myself to myself twice, and glued myself to the glue bottle once... The skin still hasn't grown back on my fingertips and the plate looks really bad, but at least it's in one piece now!

4. John and Mary

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that the parents of my two favorite characters have the same first names?
Well, they do.
So now I'm writing a fanfiction!
John Grayson died instantly, everyone thought Mary had died aswell, but the... gypsy lady with the circus claimed their bodies imeadiately and brought Mary back to health and she made a deal with the yellow-eyed demon to bring John back... They change their last name to Winchester have two more kids, the demon comes to claim Sam, cause she promised him her third son but didn't plan on having a third son, and she fights for him and died.... Blah blah blah... Sam finds out his mother knew the demon, does some digging, finds out about their circus life, and their brother... Dick, Dean, and Sam team up to... do something.... Not completely planned out here... Especially since Dick would be like 8 years older than Dean... making Dick really old... Unless his parents 'died' when he was younger and Dean had already been born...
I've also decided since my third favorite character: Duo Maxwell, doesn't have any parents and you don't know his real name, I'm going to give him parents and so he can join #1 and #2 his parents shall also be John and Mary... John and Mary Maxwell sounds awesome, but he took that last name from a preist so I think I'll make their last name Mercer....

5. My mother's mission

My mother has a mission!!! She doesn't know it yet...
So I wanted to Check out Batman: Cataclysm.
Phoenix had it, but it has either been stolen, lost, or destroyed and they have no copies...
Tempe doesn't have it.
Glendale has three copies available for checkout.
My mother used to live in Glendale and barring any outstanding fees on her glendale card can check it out for me.... Now I just have to tell her that she needs to go to Glendale Library to get me a comic book... She'll probably claim incompetance and make me come with... Oh the prices I pay for my batboys-fixation.

On a related note I spent 6+ hours on lineart of a Dick Grayson as Robin picture in oekaki 650x600 pixels and was almost done with the lineart and looking forward to start coloring when daddy's lame computer bugged on me and I lost it.

Who is Dr. Doom?!?!

Superhero Dating Quiz?!?
Horatio: Not even going to comment....

Nightwing

65.2% Match
Nightwing is a lady's man. With his experience, he will give you what you need. His flexibility and loyalty will make sure you'll have a date you'll never forget.

http://www.comicvine.com
Horatio:.... Uh...
It's what happens when you lie and say that looks are very important to you...
Horatio:.... So you cheated?
Only a little... I just said lots of money and looks were really important to me...
Horatio: Go back and tell the truth..
Nuh-uh! Cause you see, in real life, money and looks don't matter THAT much, but when I'm being paired off with a fictional character they do matter... And I couldn't hope for a better match than Nightwing...
Horatio: Fine... just humor me and go back and tell the truth as applies to REAL life..
Grr... Punisher... BUT IN THE WORLD OF FICTION LOOKS MATTER ALOT!!!!! SO DOES MONEY! SO SHUT UP!!!!!!! I got Nightwing and I'm happy... Thrilled beyond measure.
Horatio: Okay... Let me get this straight.... You are the Joker. And you're dating Nightwing... The Joker and Nightwing are a couple...
............... Well... Actually, I just read this fanfiction where....
Horatio: Don't finish that sentance!!!!!!!!!!!!!

D'Artagnan

D'Artagnan.
I love this name. I always have.
Now I know how to spell it!
D'ARTAGNAN
I think I will name a character D'Artagnan....
Horatio: You can't do that.
Why not?
Horatio: Because... D'Artagnan is the name of a character in The Three Musketeers... You can't have a character named D'Artagnan.
Again: Why not? I have a character named Horatio. There was a character in Hamlet named Horation... No one gives me any grief over that.
Horatio: That is different... First of of all Horatio is a real name. Secondly, even if it weren't Shakespeare names are free reign. Look how many Titania's there are.
I have one of those too.
Horatio: I know. And that is okay... But you can't have a D'Artagnan. Besides where would you put him.
With you... In my circus... Forget a Shakespeare name theme... I'll just make it Literary... Then I can use D'Artagnan!!!!!! No problem! =D
Ooooh! Lets learn about the name Titania!
Horatio: Lets not.
Perhaps based on Latin Titanius meaning "of the Titans". This name was (first?) used by Shakespeare in his comedy 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' where it is the name of queen of the fairies. This is also a moon of Uranus, named after the Shakespearian character.
....
I like the whole "(first?)" bit there... it makes me happy... I WANT SOMEONE TO NAME A MOON AFTER ONE OF MY CHARACTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Horatio: ...Like who?
I dunno... it'd have to be one of my Letscramabunchofletterstogetherandhopeitcanbepronouncedandmaybesoundsomewhatcool names.... Like Pirizeli! Or.... I dunno... Hiercot. I think Hiercot would be a good name for a moon.
Horatio: Let Scram abun chof let terst.... oget he ran d hop eit can? What?!?!?!?
You're not reading it right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Horatio: I'm sorry... But I'm not the psychopath who ignored the spacebar.
SHUT UP!

HIGH SPEED INTERNET

I'm going to get high speed internet for my birthday!!!
I know I've said it before, but this time it's the truth!!!
So tomarrow, when I get home from school I get to call up people pc and cancel... Then Daddy is gonna call up cox and get me some REAL internet up in here!!!!!!!!!!!
This of course means that I shall be internet deprived for a couple days...

That means I can Use my own computer in my room.... download music again... Watch videos on the internet, play with doll makers, use real im services, have things load faster.. Blah blah blah.. but most important of all, PLAY RUNESCAPE!!!!
Horatio: Runescape.... Don't you need a membership before you can play again?
Technically...NO!!! Really though... I have so many member items and everything... That yes, I will need a membership in order to enjoy it... But I could always just make another account that is f2p and do a bunch of mining or whatever until I get one of my parents to buy me a subscription... Then I will have my f2p character give all of my goodies to my p2p character and then I'll smelt the ore, burn the wood, whatever the whatever else. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! RUNESCAPE!!!!!!!!!!! I've missed it so much... No doubt it has changed alot... I'm gonna go read up on the news articles to see what is new.... I wonder if I could actually read back as far as one and a half years.... I guess I'll find out!! RUNESCAPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*over excited*

Emery Moore

By the way, before I forget: Horatio, your real name is Emery Moore.
Horatio: What?!?
Don't you like it. I think it sounds nice...
It isn't official yet.
Horatio: Emery?!?!
Yes....EMERY
Gender: Masculine
Usage: English
Pronounced: EM-ur-ee
Norman form of Amalric (see EMMERICH). It can also be given in reference to the hard black substance called emery.
EMMERICH
Gender: Masculine
Usage: German
Pronounced: E-me-rikh
From the Germanic name Amalric, derived from the elements amal meaning "work, labour" and ric meaning "power". Amalric was the name of a 6th-century king of the Visigoths, as well as two 12th-century kings of Jerusalem.
Horatio:..... I don't like that name.
You don't get to pick your own name! I would have called you Amalric, cause it just sounds so cool... But that is just the problem. It's too cool for you. Besides. I LIKE EMERY!!!!!
I'm not sure I like Moore yet....

Ooooh.... Amalric Visigoth.... Way too cool for you....

Creative Whining/ Birthday/ Boredom

Sat, 19 Jan 2008 06:03:01 GMT

I have to write two short pieces of fiction for creative writing. And one short play....
I already know more or less what I'm gonna write... I'm going to right about a little girl, no more than a toddler who has been killed by wild dogs. Very bloody... But then again, I'm having issues putting enough character information in... If I could write it as if everyone knew who the characters were to begin with it would be so much better... But I can't. To make it stand by it's self I have to introduce the characters. Everything is so complicated... Maybe I could just draw out a family tree as the title so that everyone can make the relations between characters without my pointing them out...
Horatio: I don't really think that is allowed...
Another problem is I set this while Angilia was still alive...
I hate her....
Horatio: And I'm sure she hates you.
Noil is out of character. I can't get him in character.... Angilia just ruins everything. There is no Learan. Marien and Noil aren't as close as I keep writing them. Marien was just there. Noil didn't care about him. He was just.... there... I don't think I can write this... I don't think I can write Noil and Marien so far apart...
Horatio: You ever notice how much you complain?
I learned a new word in theatre the other day. "Bromance" This word applies to so many of my characters... Noil and Marien included... It bothers me to write about them without that. I think I may change my plans then... Or maybe I'll make this one into a play... I'll use the same plot, except different new characters that are basically the same characters... Only with that whole Bromance thing going on between them.
Meaning I'll have to pick a different bloody sceen for my fiction...
Horatio: You say that like those are hard to find in your stories...
My other fiction will most likely be a Farrell adventure... on Earth... This is provided I can keep it under 10 pages and still have Farrell make sence... It'll be a challenge...
Horatio: Because nothing with Farell ever does
You need a last name...
Horatio: Then give me one
Eh... Too lazy...
How about "The Clown"
Horatio: No. If you are going to give me a last name I want a real one.
Eh!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I'll be turning 19 on Tuesday...
Horatio: Amazing isn't it?
I think my mother is gonna get me a game cube...
Horatio: Game Cube?
Yeah... kinda outdated, I know. But that is the beauty of it. Game Cubes are dirt cheap. They are too old for anyone to pay good money for and not old enough to be hard to find and therefore expensive. I'd always wanted one... but I had an x-box and why spend good money on another gaming system when I had a perfectly good one already? So yeah... I think I'm getting a Game Cube.
Horatio: That's... nice...
And then there is no school on Monday. It's Martin Luther King day a national holiday.... I'm gonna count it as an early Birthday present from the Nation.
Horatio: Because the World totally revolves around you.
I thought we made a deal and you had to be nice to me for my birthday?
Horatio: Which is on Tuesday. This is Friday night.
Whatever. Meanwhile I have to have my part memorized on Tuesday, and have a homework assignment due in Humanities on Tuesday... So my teachers obviously don't care...
Horatio: To be honest, neither do I.
Shut up.
Anyway. I've decided that Horatio needs a last name.
Horatio: We already went over this.
I've decided that I am bored out of my mind....
Horatio: You're just avoiding homework.
Yep .
Maybe I should write about you? I like you.
Horatio: I don't like you.
Liar.
I'm gonna go read Nightwing fanfiction on ff.n now....
Horatio: Again?!?!?
I LOVE DICK GRAYSON!!!
Horatio: Because he is so much more important than homework?
As far as I'm concerned at the moment this: http://pankster.deviantart.com/art/Dick-62854892 is the greatest picture on the internet.
Horatio: What does that have to do with anything?
It's Dicky!!!
Horatio: Right then. Go read your fanfiction or something.

Books, 12th, and loot

Thu, 03 Jan 2008 07:26:43 GMT

Okay so one of my many new years resolutions was to: Be more active on certain web-sites. LJ being on of them.

A. library babble

B. How do you spell 12th? (a look into my instant messageing....)

C. Christmas loot

Firstly: Does covering a banana in chocolate automatically take away all the points you get for eating a banana to begin with?

A. library babble
So... Library books have taken over my house. Everywhere I look they are staring at me... So I rounded them all up and sorted through them.

I am returning without reading the following books:

"Flight of Yiktor" by André Norton (Ganon picked it out for me and he has horrid taste... I think he wanted to eat it...)

"The Man Who Sold the Moon" and "The Cat Who Walks Through Walls" by Robert Heinlein (I love Heinlein and all, but the cat one is slightly stupid and I don't have time for it and I think the moon one is part of a series I havn't read...I just grabbed it cause it sounded interesting)

"The Robots of Dawn" by Isaac Asimov (I grabbed it cause the robot on the cover looks live C3P0, and go figure, it is the third in a series of books and I haven't read the other two.)

"The Long Dark Tea-timje of the Soul" by Douglas Adams (I only checked it out because it was the only Adams book checked in and I really have no interest in it and don't know what it is about)

"The Left Hand of Darkness" and "The Telling" by Ursula K. Le Guin (So I was walking through the library and stumbled accross Le Guin in huge letters. Turned out the book was "The Other Wind" which is an Earthsea book that I haven't read. I grabbed the paper back version pluss these two cause I was in a hurry. These aren't Earthsea books... These are boring books. Okay... I haven't read them... but I read the back covers!!)

I'm keeping (with full intentions of reading) these books:

"The Number of the Beast", "Rocket Ship Galileo", "Double Star", and "Glory Road" by Robert A. Heinlein (I'm almost a fourth of the way through "Glory Road"!!)

"Moving Pictures" by Terry Pratchett (So I'm like... almost half way through)

"The Other Wind" by Ursula K. Le Guin (Three quarters done with it. I like Lebannen even more in this book than I did in "The Farthest Shore" I also discovered that Le Guin is a feminist. My exact reaction to this news "So that explains 'Tehanu'..." which was horrible... It just kept going on about hoe Tenar was a woman and I was like "No freaking duh!" and about all this other garbage that had me reading to book just waiting for it to end... Luckly, "The Other Wind" is SO much better... Even if Ged is still... pathetic...)

"The Warlord of Mars", "Thuvia, Maid of Mars", and "The Chessmen of Mars" by Edgar Rice Burroughs (So I started "The Warlord of Mars" and John Carter was off to save Dejah Thoris.... again.... and I got distracted by other books... that don't have Dejah Thoris in them.)

"The Martian Way" by Isaac Asimov

"Why don't Pengins' Feet Freeze?" (Its a book of questions and answers and I will read the entire thing eventually... I've already read some of it.)

"Feminist Fantasies" by Phyllis Schlafly (There are 236 pages... I read the first 18...)

B. How do you spell 12th?

This is totally how I greet my friends by the way:

[21:44] Little Star (Rachel):

MONKEH!
[21:45] Ahnna: ok
[21:46] Little Star (Rachel): TWELVE
[21:46] Little Star (Rachel): ....How do you spell 12th?!
[21:47] Ahnna: twelth..? twelvth ..i have no idea
[21:49] Little Star (Rachel): Not a word that comes up very often, huh?
[21:50] Little Star (Rachel): I mean anyone who wants to use it just gets to type out 12th... And spell check doesn't care about 12th
[21:50] Little Star (Rachel): According to spell check 12th is fine...
[21:50] Little Star (Rachel): Maybe you CAN'T spell 12th...
[21:50] Little Star (Rachel): Maybe it isn't even a word!
[21:51] Little Star (Rachel): I mean... look at twelve... That hardly counts as a word!
[21:51] Little Star (Rachel): It is too awesome to be a word.
[21:52] Little Star (Rachel): It's like...
[21:52] Little Star (Rachel): a super word!
[21:53] Little Star (Rachel): Six letters-one syllable that encompasses the sounds of "w", "v", "l", AND "t" in a ridiculously pleasing way.
[21:53] Little Star (Rachel): And just LOOK at it! Twelve
[21:54] Little Star (Rachel): I would name an elf Twelve.
[21:54] Little Star (Rachel): Except... it is far too recognizable of a word...
[21:55] Little Star (Rachel): If it were just a bit more obscure, I would so name an elf Twelve in a heart beat.
[21:56] Little Star (Rachel): The only problem is I can not decide whether Twelve should be a girl or boys name...

And then they don't talk to me any more.... (She talked again after I was off the Twelve tangent)

So I continue my search.... This time without babbling... Cause... it scares my friends off for a little while... at least until their sure my mind has found a new subject to entertain it's self with...

How do you spell 12th?
[22:14] Xannie: Twelfth
[22:15] Little Star (Rachel): Realy?
[22:15] Xannie: Why?
[22:15] Xannie: Yeah
[22:15] Little Star (Rachel): Cause I was thinking it like... couldn't be spelled...
[22:15] Little Star (Rachel): I like the world Twelve.
[22:16] Little Star (Rachel): It's fun to say... >.>
[22:16] Xannie: Lol...yeah it is...odd looking when spelled out
[22:17] Little Star (Rachel): I know! I want to name an elf Twelve...
[22:17] Little Star (Rachel): But I can't, cause EVERYONE knows the word Twelve...
[22:17] Xannie: Lol
[22:17] Xannie: Unless they're retarded
[22:18] Little Star (Rachel): And they'd all be like "What is wrong with her?!?!"
[22:18] Xannie: lol
[22:18] Little Star (Rachel): Besides I can't decide whether it would be a girls or boys name...
[22:19] Little Star (Rachel): What do you think?
[22:19] Xannie: ...I wouldn't name one...Twelfth..
[22:20] Little Star (Rachel): But if you did is it a name for a girl or a boy?
[22:20] Xannie: ...Lol...
[22:20] Xannie: I don't know...
[22:20] Xannie: Why is it that you want to name one that?
[22:21] Xannie: ...Do they at least have something to do with twelve?
[22:21] Xannie: like..the..twelfth..kid
[22:22] Little Star (Rachel): Cause if it wasn't a number, and someone just made this word up... Wouldn't you think it looks like something someone would name an elf?
[22:22] Xannie: ...No
[22:23] Little Star (Rachel): .... How about someing I would name an elf?
[22:23] Xannie: Lol....
[22:23] Xannie: You should name one
[22:23] Xannie: lol
[22:23] Xannie: Lol*..rather
[22:24] Little Star (Rachel): Name an elf Rather?
[22:24] Xannie: No...
[22:24] Xannie: "Lol"
[22:25] Little Star (Rachel): ......I'd so name an elf Rather though.... Lol? How would Lol be pronunced?
[22:25] Little Star (Rachel): long o or short o....
[22:26] Little Star (Rachel): I don't think those are the right terms for the sound of o...
[22:26] Xannie: ...lol
[22:26] Xannie: lol
[22:27] Xannie: roll....with an l..
[22:27] Xannie: unlike the 'lawl'...
[22:27] Xannie: that is usually said
[22:28] Little Star (Rachel): In that case I would definatelyly name an elf Lol... I think I will...
[22:28] Little Star (Rachel): I just need like an accent mark to put over the o so that everyone pronunces it like roll...
[22:29] Xannie: lol
[22:29] Xannie: I want to enter a story contest but the story has to make someone cry
[22:30] Little Star (Rachel): I'm sure you can do that...
[22:30] Little Star (Rachel): Just like... kill someones.... something?

She was a better sport about my crazy... and now I have an elf character named Lôl... He's a boy. And adorable... I need to draw him...

I think I hate December

Thu, 27 Dec 2007 11:36:40 GMT

Why is it that everything bad always happens in December?

I haven't been on the internet much and planned on posting my Christmas loot and working on those pictures I need to draw and blahblahblah finally posting something here on lj after haveing not done so for so long... So I'm opening EVERYTHING. Except myspace... >.> Which I need to do... Eventually.

Anyway, the last time I checked my email was the 21st.
December 12th I got an e-mail from Wayne Nelson (whom I really dislike... He used to be my Pastor and was a horrible person who just doesn't fit the bill. I've decided he was sent by the devil to mess up the church. I've blocked him now I have no more use for the man) Anyway, the e-mail said that Charlie Rutherford was sick and in the hospital. He said he'd keep us updated. I was glad at that moment that I had not put the annoying wannabe pastor on my block list along time ago. Charlie was... a wonderful person.

On the 21st I got an e-mail saying that Charlies son was coming back to Phoenix and that Charlie wasn't doping any better. I hadn't checked my e-mail since then... Until now... On the 22nd I got an e-mail, that I didn't read until just a little while ago, telling me that Charlie had died. His memorial service was on Christmas Eve... Even had I read the e-mail sooner I wouldn't have had a way to get there.

Charlie was my Sunday School teacher for years... He gave me my first Bible. He gave me both of the Bibles that I own. He baptized me. Wayne kicked him out of the Church a couple years back. I was mad at Wayne and stopped going to Church at Del Monte... Then Del Monte moved 80 miles away thanks to Wayne and there was no church for me to go to Casa de Dios, holds their services in Spanish and the other church whether they hold theirs in English or Spanish are not the same denomination as me.

I've been wanting to get ahold of Charlie for a while now... and now I won't be able to.

Why is it the people I really care about die in December?
My Grandma(Newman) died December 5th 2001. She lived with us. She was there everyday since the day I was born. She said goodnight to me everynight She'd say "Love you little, love you big, love you like a little pig" and I'd say "Oink Oink". Then one day in 2000 maybe, I don't remember, she broke her hip, and lost it... We brought her home but couldn't take care of her, she would hide her food, she had to go to a nursing home. We visited her all the time after hours and brought her coffee... And then she died.
And now Charlie has died in December. I don't even know what day... the 21st or the22nd?
I won't e-mail Wayne and ask. I can't stand the man and now I've put him on block so I won't be getting anymore e-mail from him. He sent me a butt-load of junk mail after telling me Charlie died. You'd think that maybe he could show a little respect?!?!
Sure other people I've "known" have died.. in months other than December, but those deaths didn't affect me because those people I hardly know.
So now December is the month of Death.

Pink dresses, funerals, and the highspeed internet.

Sat, 15 Sep 2007 05:41:29 GMT

So my mother gave me a dress it is apparently actually from Nikki... They thought I'd like it. It is formal. Light pink with a black ribbon that ties about the waist into a bow. The bottom is sewed to make this weird kinda poof. In a way it is ugly but still more or less something I would wear. If not for one little problem. No straps. Like, at all. So first thing out of my mouth is "How am I supposed to wear this?" So mamma is all, "This is the front and then this ties around to make a bow"... Not answering my question. So I asked again. Never got an answer. I took it and went home. Daddy had me try it on later and it is too big for me. I put it on and it falls around my waist so I modled it holding it up. I actually like it well enough, except for the fact that it is A. Too big for me and B. Even if it did fit, it isn't something I would wear. Because it has no straps... Then I got to thinking: I could wear a nice black tank and then put the dress over it and safety pin the inner layer of the dress to the tank so as to keep it up while at the same time creating nice 1 and a half inch straps.

And then the question of wether I wanted to go to my great grandma Martins funeral. Forget the fact that she first of all isn't really my greay grandmother, but just the woman who married my great grandfather, but I'd only met her three or four times in my entire life, never said two words to her, and would not be able to pick her out from a crowd of old caucation women. Besides funerals are boring, especially if you don't know the person.
This lady gave us presents a couple years back and she thought Sarah's name was Vera. Or at least that was what was writen on the envelope... It was funny.. and that is the only memory I have of her.
So no. I'm not going.

Good news- We may be getting fast internet AND cable later this month. Maybe...
Nothing definate.
But if we do in fact get it I will get to use my own comp, download music, play runescape, not have to deal with the evil that is meebo to talk to my friends, watch videos, play with doll-makers, and just do everything alot faster in general

HATE HATE HATE! And sim breeding! =D

Mon, 10 Sep 2007 11:07:50 GMT

I'm like... doing the dishes.. And I've emptied the sink and am tossing the silverware back into it... I have no idea why I didn't plug it first.. Anyway... a sewer roach climbs up the drain and I freak out completely... I am so afraid of them... So it is running around the sink and I'm crying And I have the bug spray in my hand but I can't spray it in the sink and it can't crawl up the very steep and wet walls of the sink and I'm screaming and crying and I turn on the hot water and am screaming and my pants keep touching me and I think it is another roach and my pants touched the edge of my foot and I look down and I see a roach but not really... (When I ripped my lime green platform flip flop my daddy fixed it and put this little peice of brown leather on it) but I'm in a panic so I seriously think it is a roach and I kick my shoe off to get it away... And I'm sobbing in the middle of the kitchen standing on one foot with the can of bug spray in one hand finger ready on the nosle to spray in case it gets out of the sink and a knife in the other (don't ask why I'm brandishing a knife at the roach) and I'm balance on one foot because I have slight ocd and can not go barefoot and my shoe is on the other side of the kitchen and I'm crying on on the verge of hyperventilating and my pants KEEP TOUCHING ME!!!
So after a few minutes I take a couple hops... and tentatively turn the shoe over with my toe. Not a roach. Put the shoe back on and move over to the sink and I had cooked the roach to death with hot water. Now I have a dead roach. Under a fork.
I finally go for daddy. Who has been completely ignoring my screaming bloody murder sporatically for the last 15 minutes with sobs in between. I'm so loved. He is sick and tells me to deal with it.
I got back in the kitchen and brilliantly use the knife to move the fork off the roach. I scream again. Yes I'm afraid of the dead ones too.
And daddy won't help and I'm still crying and I go take a minute to collect myself, calm down, catch my breath, think, and most of all get angry.
Sufficiently furious I come back to the sink. Use the knife to move the silverware away from the roach. Turn the hot water back on and wash it down the drain. Sadly the roack doesn't fit.. It came up fine but that was when I was moving of its own control and not sideways... So a pitcher of water. Pour it directly on the roach over and over and it gets turned right way round eventually and the water pushes it through and I plug the sink and bleach the silverware.
I WANT A SEPTIC TANK AND I WANT ONE NOW!!!!
People who have septic tanks and not sewers (amazingly) don't get SEWER ROACHES!!
HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HAE HATE HATE HATE!!!
And I'm still jumpink at the slightest touch of anything...

A few months ago I made a new city on The Sims Two for my pc and re-created my families and junk but haven't really messed with them much until yesterday.. I did the Eratian family so much better than usual. I started out making Angilia and Noil and their son Learan and Random roommate of no relation: Nox. Then as soon as I moved them in I murdered Angilia and had Noil marry Nox. Better than last time when I just had Noil, his son Learan, and roommate Nox whom he married shortly after moving in... See Nox can not be Learans mother. This leads me to the problem of not being able to make Shannan in the family building area. He has to be born later or else either Nox is Learan's mother aswell or Shannan and Learan aren't brothers... Furthermore Shannan wouldn't be Noil's so and I can't have that... Another option would be to make Lee and Shannan full brothers and Shannan not Nox's son.... So I just don't build him. Last time I tried this Noil and Nox had three daughters and she was pregnant again when I stopped playing and made my new city. It was sad.. I think I named them Caelan, Aithne... and something else... Anyway, Nox just had her first baby and I am happy to say that not only does it have teal eyes, but it is a boy!!! And I don't have to have anymore kids in that family cause now I have my Learan and Shannan!! And since they ended up with a boy on the first try there are only two kids!!! I'm so happy..
And Farrell had been over at their house for like... 4 days... just sitting in the hot tub... (It's because I use the make all happy cheat) and not leaving and as soon as Nox starts to have the baby both him and Merle Lowry (who had been playing the piano for 2 days straight) left... It made me happy... Earlier when I was playing at the Cotton-tail house, Aster had a baby and I so didn't even consider a name... The whole time I was all antsy waiting for it I never once considered what I was going to name it... So I was scrambling to figure out a name for it... I built both Aster and Farrell as well as their three kids that exist in my story: Citlali, Csilla, and Calais... So I had no clue what to name the baby... I named it Chaos... And then wished I hadn't... She is still only a baby but she has her fathers white skin and yellow eyes. I think she is gonna be pretty and may add her to my story later... with you know... a better name...

E-mail = HATE

Sun, 09 Sep 2007 09:28:05 GMT

Wednesday was sorta a bad day for me... I "lost" my wallet and a gatoraide came open in my backpack.
Okay so it wasn't that bad it just seemed like it.. Part of my Learan and Shannan picture turned pink due to the gatoraide, but really it is only a small and unimportant part of the edge. When I scan it I'm just gonna crop it out. The wallet loseing was very stressful. Wednesday morning I bought a gatoraide a bag of m&m's. I distinctively remembered putting the wallet in my back pocket... When I came home from school I changed my pants and for some reason later that night I needed my wallet, so I went to get it out of my backpack. Not there. Then I remembered having put it in my pocket so I look in the pants that I had been wearing at school. Not there either. So I start freaking out. I look in both the hampers in my room. In the junk around the hampers. On the floor between my hampers and my bed, where I stand to change. Then I start looking random places through the house thinking I absentmindedly put it down somewhere after comeing home but before changeing.. Anyway. I couldn't find it. I was upset. I started to think I might have lost it at school. I was not happy I started to stress about the stuff in the wallet...
Tonight I decided there was absolutely no way it had fallen out of my pants while I was wearing them. With a short prayer I got to looking again. The wallet was between my hampers.. I almost missed it again but fortunately I didn't. My stressing is done with. I found it. The whole world can stop holding their breath now and get on with their lives... Okay so the only people that cared were me and Daddy and I have to wait for him to wake up before he hears the goodnews.

I really need to stop only getting on line every 4-5 days. I have so much stuff to catch up with my e-mail and messages and pictures and stuff on dA... It's sad... I have so many myspace friend requets but dealing with that requires me to not only log onto myspace but try and figure out if these are just random people or people I know... >.> Reading my email makes me sad now... It fills me with horror... Basically what it is saying is "HEY RACHEL!! LOOK AT THIS!! MORE STUFF YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH!!!" As far as fanfiction goes. I'm never going to catch up... I sort my author and story allert e-mails into folders so I can deal with them later.. Here is the sadness of it all:
Supernatural: 44 (This is sad! I read SPN fanfiction obsessively.)
Gundam Wing: 22 (Really that is mostly because no one is updating Gundam Wing fanfiction... and for once I'm not complaining about it.)
Lord of the Rings: 135 (Okay... actually I haven't actively been reading LotR fanfiction for a while and have been stuffing this folder for a couple months.)
Random: 24 (I don't care much about other catagories...)
So yeah... Never going to catch up. And before I get to these I gotta read Zhana's stuff that has (sorta) flooded my inbox the last few days and is bot being moved to a folder so that it is right there glaring at me until I get to it. >.>
I think I'm gonna just stop reading my email all together...
It'll make life so much less daunting. <.<
Yeah..
I whine way too much.
So not dealing with spell check. SUFFER MY BAD SPELLING!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Math, Chains, and Meebo

Thu, 06 Sep 2007 01:45:22 GMT

I opened deviantART today and it shows at the top 21 deviations and 7 messages.... My mind instantly shouted out "THREE!!!" This is all the more sad, because I'm not even taking math this year. None of my classes have required me to do any and it has been about a week since I helped Sarah with her homework. My brain is betraying me and doing math without my permission. On a happy note only three of those messages were journals!!! =D Not that any were comments on my pictures...

My mother is now sending me retarded chain letters
"The Make A Wish
Foundation has agreed to donate 7 cents for every time this message
is sent on."
The Make a Wish Foundation can NOT track the message!!!!
Email chain letters are stupid and annoying and I want to scream at people who send them to me.
I mean passing on something funny or interesting like a news article is completely okay, not if the same person is sending you ten a day, but in moderation I love funny, inspirational, or informative pass-it-ons. Chains that say pass it on or DIE, or pass it on and this wish will come true, or pass it on or you will never find love, things annoy me to no end. I hate hate hate hate!

And then there is this bulletin chain on myspace that says something like Inactive accounts are being deleted and now that you've opened this you have 10 minutes to repost it or your account will be deleted due to inactivity. Of course it is like three paragraphs long, this is just a summary of what it says... The thing is, if your account were inactive, you wouldn't have opened the bulletin to begin with... Since you have opened the bulletin, you are obviously active and there would be no reason for your account to be deleted whether or not you reposted... It is one of the most illogical chain bulletins I've read. Whoever made it up obviously didn't think it all the way through and the countless people reposting it need to be smacked upside the head with a post. Sorry. =D

meebo is freaking retarded and won't cooperate with me today. So now I'm all sad. But not too sad, so it's all good.
Except I am annoyed.
Everything on the internet is annoying me in some way shape or form today... and now i have to take out the trash, deal with the recycling, bring the laundry in from the line and put it away and then put in another load, which I will have to hang out... And then bathe.... And I still have homework... I am going to have the most pathetic resume ever... That's my humanities homework. Write a resume. *dies*
Skills: Reading.... Drawing... Writing? Not typing. *hunts and pecks quickly* Sleeping... Eating... Complaining. Whining... Oooh!!! I have people skills!!!
Horatio: You won't even talk to people over the phone. Your afraid of people.... Xenophobe.
=P People skills is a good lie to put on a resume!!
H: Of course if you were to go into an interview you'd give yourself away imeadiately...
Whatever... So no people skills... I HAVE NO SKILLS!!!!
I'm gonna make daddy do my homework for me.

SPN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mon, 03 Sep 2007 05:41:20 GMT

So I vanished from the internet for a week. Totally Olivia's fault.
She lent me the first season of Supernatural on Monday... I finished watching it Friday afternoon... And then because it was the weekend and I don't see her again until Tuesday I watched it again! This time with my sister.

So I'm incredibly happy. I've now seen all the episodes of season 1 and 2 and am waiting for 3 to start up!!!
I can't wait.
So last night I got sick. Am still sick.. Fever, sneezes, slight cough, and a headache... And sniffles actually... No school monday and if I'm still sick Tuesday I guess I'm going to school sick.

I must have watched the gag reel on the Supernatural dvd like... over 20 times... By myself... Then an additional 5 times with Sarah... I almost made daddy go out and buy a dvd burner so I could make copies... but I think I'll just stick to my original plan and put it on my christmas list. :D

And yeah... So now I have to go to dA and comment like.... a bajillion pictures...
And then I gotta check a few people out on ffn...
And then.. I gotta finish my homework... (Read chapter 2 of "The Jungle")

Sun, 26 Aug 2007 22:02:48 GMT

I'm such a dork... Right after my last entry and before I vanished from the internet for a few days, my library books were almost due, so rather than turn them in... I just renewed them.. I really need to turn some in cause I've actually like already read half of them... I have so much to read and yet I'm always complaining about not having anything to read... *lame*
Anyway while I was renewing the books I realised I had NOTHING on hold. That is just plain wrong... So I filled up my hold list. YAY ME!!
I am such a nerd... I'm number 1 in line on the hold list for the book "Making Money" by Terry Pratchett..... Which is on order... and the book doesn't even come out until like... September 18th... I'm SO excited about it! My favorite Discworld book is "Going Postal" and is (until "Making Money" comes out) the only book about Moist von Lipwig... Obviously "Making Money" is gonna be the second book focusing on this character. I CAN'T WAIT!!! Actually I can... My book list is kinda long...

Not to mention two of the items I put on hold are already in library waiting for me to pick them up..

My reading list!!

* The Jungle -Upton Sinclair (For School)(I own)
* Making Money -Terry Pratchett (On hold)
* Citizen of the Galaxy -Robert A. Heinlein (On Hold -In library waiting for pick up)
* Katie's Choice - Tracey Langford (Checked out) (Okay... So I've had the book checked out for like three months... I'll get around to reading it eventually!!!)
* Wormwood -G. P. Taylor (Checked out) (Same as Katies Choice)
* Feminist Fantasies -Phyllis Schlafly (Checked out) (SHUT UP!!! I'm reading it!!)
* Dragon Prince -Melanie Rawn (Checked out) (I read the first 24 pages... >.> I don't think I'll actually get around to reading more of it...)
* The Once and Future King -T. H. White (I own) (Someday)
* The Far Side of the World -Patrick O'Brian (I own) (Eventually..)
* The Amulate of Samarkand -Jonathan Stroud (I own) (*cringes*)

Actually the third item I have on hold isn't a book ... It is a cd "Agents of Fourtune" by Blue Oyster Cult... And once I check out the two items that are waiting for me I plan on putting another cd on hold... I don't know the name of it yet, I'll figure it out when the time comes.. But it is the Dresden Dolls... Of course I could have just spelled that wrong... I have the correct spelling in a notebook. ((CD's make me not such a nerd!!!))
Eh...
So yeah... I haven't been on line for a while cause I've been catching up on chores and sleep.... Thanks to yoga I was sore for days... I've recovered now!!! Only to have to go back to school tomorrow and hit the library afterwards to return my finished books and then check out the waiting ones! Yay! And then I am so not going to be reading "The Jungle" for school because "Citizen of the Galaxy" is so much more appealing to me...

Everything!!

Thu, 23 Aug 2007 06:11:45 GMT

Okay. So here is how it is: I am going to keep this thing current. I've tracked down all my journals and blogs from myspace and dA and have shoved them together into one awesome journal entry. From now on I plan to only use the dA journal for things that directly concern my deviantART.
By the way that is here: http://r-newman.deviantart.com
I'm still gonna use myspace as a journal and will ideally have the same content posted there as here. >.> Yeah...
So, here goes:

The Rachel got out of school for the summer on May 31st.
She didn't graduate cause the teachers at AAS are freaking stupid... Actually they mostly lost interest and I was like the only senior so they didn't care didn't fill up my schedual and it was just a bunch of stupid reasons. I was short two science credits in the end.

Keeping with the antisocial behaviors of The Rachel, she should have been on the net 24-7 the whole summer... Oddly... She wasn't.. This is patially to blame on books and friends and cleaning her room.

OMG!!!! The Rachel's behavioral paterns are shifting!!!

Okay so, Sunday after school let out: June 3rd, Rachel went to Church with some of her peeps She actually posted this on her live journal!!! O.O

Moving forward, she has no clue why she wasn't on line much for the rest of the week except she had injured her back and wore a back brace for three days... Also mentioned on LJ... And you people say I don't update!

Anyway, the following Friday: June 8th, she went to Jessie's for a water party... I again got to hang with my homies... though not quite the same homies as before.. This time it was Jessie, Jessie's sister and cousin, My home-dawgz Jimmy, Sarah, and Zach... Me, Sarah, Jimmy, and Zach teamed up as THE HIGHSCHOOL BROTHERHOOD against... Erm... Jessie, Jessie's sister, and Jessie's cousin in a water balloon fight.... In the end it was Me and my sistah Sarah each with a bucket that we were filling from the kiddie pool and flinging water at Jessie's sister over and over... While I was flinging my bucket Sarer was filling hers and she flung her's while I filled mine... It was awesome... Jessie's sister was screaming and cussing at us like that chick from the Exorsist... We ended up making her cry... The last bucket load hit her square in the face and she fell in the mud and started crying... Yeah, we sound cruel, but honestly, try spending five minutes with the kid! Earlier that day she'd been saying how if she wanted to she could be mean to us and make us cry using the fact that she does that to Jessie... I don't care if that brat is Jessie's sister, Jessie is my friend and I don't like the brat bragging about making her cry... I tried to be nice to the kid to start with cause you know, she was Jessies sister and all, but seriously. It didn't happen. Anyway Sarah and I just kind of looked at her and I feel like laughing my head off 'cause the Newman sisters can be quite mean, especialy if we team up... Ever since Mamma and Daddy split up and Sarah went with Mamma and I stayed here, we get along a lot better... It comes from not having to live with each other... We're like friends now and we hang out at school even... It is pretty cool... Anyway.. I think Jessie's sister ate her words in the water fight...

Fourth of July: Me, Sarah, Daddy went to the Reservation and shot off Fireworks... From there we could see the firework shows going off all around the valley. It was pretty nice... We drove almost the entire way home with a flat tire.

So July 7th Daddy was having the car fixed but the guy that was fixing it was driving it back to our house or to get a part or something and some idiot runs into him. So the car is broken until the further notice which is stupid cause we ain't got a car... The guy that ran into him got his license taken away and that is funny. Hopefully daddy will be getting a new car soon... >.>

I got my hands on the new Harry Potter book 15 minutes after it came out.
It took longer to read than any other HP book.... took me... three days to finish it... I blame it all on Daddy.. "Rachel, lets go shopping" "Rachel, GO TO BED, we have to go somewhere tomorrow", "Rachel, help me wash the car.", "Rachel, we have to go bowling.", "Rachel clean the living room!", "Rachel clean the kitchen!", "Don't make me take that book away from you!", "Rachel, guess what?!", "Rachel, help me find this" (the last two happened about every half hour)...
For all the other books I was able to lock myself away with food and everyone would just let me be. This time, not so much... BUT I FINISHED IT!!!
My main desire did not come to pass... Out of my six favorite characters five of them are dead and one is kinda deformed. So what if some of them had died before this book?!? That isn't the point!
I WAS RIGHT ABOUT SNAPE AND I WAS RIGHT ABOUT R.A.B.! To all those people who argued with me about Snape: HAH HAH HA!!! Okay then...

Yeah... I cleaned the house and the car while reading the book...

I didn't get online as soon as I finished reading HP, cause I wanted to finish up "Men at Arms" and I did...

Oh yeah!! I no longer have 6 favorite characters! It's now up to 8. Regulus and Teddy joined the ranks. I don't know what it is about Teddy, I mean he hardly counts as a real character in my eyes... To me he is less of a character than James... though it may be the other way around for others... Whatever... They are now 7 and 8..
Also the book made me not HATE Harry!!! Yay!!! Still not anywhere near being on the list of my favorites..

So the bratling (My little sister for those who don't know) was over for a couple days. No big deal. We watched Teletubbies. Not as normal as it sounds. She just turned 15.. Neither of us have any business watching Teletubbies, but we have commercial tv and there is nothing on... Besides I like Teletubbies. They are cute!
BIG HUG!!
So, Sarah went home, obviously. Anyway my mother and my older sister Nikki picked her up. They just pulled up without warning cause Momma wanted her home that night and didn't want to wait till sun down to have someone collect her because we had this weather alert going on in the valley for severe thunderstorms.. Anyway I went out to the car to complain about my transcripts. After whining for a while Nikki informs me that her baby is with them and that I should look at him because he has gotten bigger since I last saw him a month or so ago. He's like 7 months.. Anyhow I go around to the back window and they roll it down for me. He's got some pretty blonde curls, anyway I talk at him for all of ten seconds and he starts crying and Momma and Nikki get out of the car to take care of him.. Nikki drifts over to the neighbors. She doesn't allow him to watch Teletubbies cause she thinks they are annoying... anyway I tell Momma she should have him watch them cause they are made by baby cognitive psychologists... So I made teletubby sounds at him and he liked them.
He looks like a baby Draco Malfoy.

Anyway I really want to draw a 'Teletubbies vs Boobahs' picture.
TUBBY TOAST!!!

So it was Thursday August 2nd, when Sarah came over to watch Supernatural with me that I realised with horror that my summer was almost over.
Sarah brought over Sailor Moon DVD's... 10 hours of Sailor Moon... Oh my god, it was corny... Tuxedo Mask is no longer allowed to speak. Darien can talk all he wants... Not as Tuxedo Mask though... And Sailor Moon is not allowed to open her mouth in either form.. It was like revisting my 5th grade self and realising how stupid I must have been.. Anyway, the Sailor Moon continued on until Friday afternoon. I barely got on the internet at all during this time and then had to stay off Saturday since we were waiting for a phone call. Then I went bowling and actually got started on reading "Between Planets"...
Anyway Saturday after Bowling I started to clean my room.
I continued cleaning it Sunday...
Monday...
And am still cleaning it... Twenty days later? Still not cleaned.
On Sunday I got a good case of ADD/procrastination and found a how to book on oragami. I made a pig and a penguin. I also made a cross word puzzle...
Monday I found my Batman Yo-yo... So I started playing with it... Mostly just sleeping it and doing the forward pass because A. I can not walk the dog or rock the baby, and B. I was indoors..
From there I went out and brought in the "Big Box of Yo-yos" and started goofing off with those... I found this one Yomega that won't sleep, but while I was doing the forward pass it came back and smacked me in the back of the head. (I have never hit anything with a yo-yo except for my self..) anyway I realised this yo-yo really wanted to go around the world... So I took it outside and did sideways passes and around the world... It was fun... Then I came in and played with the butterfly yo-yo, and those things have these sharp corners and when I caught it it hit me between the fore-finger and middle-finger and I think it hit a nerve cause my finger was numb for the rest of the day. I was seriously injured.
I'm better now..

Yeah... After orientation I came home and then Sarah came over. We watched Supernatural.. It was "Heart" which is like one of my favorite episodes... Sarah helped me clean my room a bit and we got distracted and took stupid myspace pictures with the web-cam..
I woke up Friday when Matt called... I fed my chickens. Me and Sarah watched television... We ordered pizza...
Sarah went home..
Jenna called... She and Sarah had three wayed me... Then Sarah got off and Jenna called Thomas... Thomas got of and Jenna called Jimmy... In the end I talked to Jenna and various others for two or three hours and then got off the phone and I proceded to talk to Thomas for four hours.... Yeah...
So Saturday the 11th, I went to the Bowling Alley with Daddy as is normal. Only this time Matt showed up to hang out with me. We didn't stay at the bowling alley long after he showed up because Daddy sent us shopping. Not exactly my idea of fun, but I got to hang out with Matt so all was good..

Last Monday (the 13th) was the first day of school. It was awesome. I met alot of awesome people. Tuesday was obviously the second day of school.... Yeah... So on and so forth.
All my classes rock.
Anyhow, Tuesday after school Nikki wrecked the PT Cruiser. Me and Sarah took a cab to my house. Nikki and Jeramy took another cab somewhere else.
So I had no way to get to school, but luckly Z's parents are totally cool and Picked me up Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday...
Wednesday after School, Me, Zhana, Sarah and two other girls saw the Simpsons Movie.
It was good.
Thursday we really got into the classes... We started doing stuff in Physical Express.. I am the most uncoordinated person in the class. It's funny... Me doing Aerobics and everyone else is perfectly in order and I need to take a minute to stop and try in get back in step and I'm just so bad at it... It's really sad... I got through most the class without a breathing issue, but when I was done and leaving the class my asthma caught up with me and I'm all "CanNotBreatheOhMyGod" So I took a couple puffs of Albuterol. Then I went to creative writing and we started doing stuff in that class for reals and it was awesome... And I was all shakey on Albuterol and hyper and it was awesome...
Albuterol!!!
Friday Momma actually was able to pick me up from school. Friday was also daddys birthday but he had a headache and I was all worn out from Physical Express... I ended up sleeping 22 hours... So we celebrated his birthday Saturday. We went out to eat with some of his friends before bowling. When I got home I caught up with most my internet business.. Except you know... author alerts cause I am freaking lazy and don't really want to deal with fanfiction right now... When I get into the flow of things I'll go back to fanfiction! But right now I'm srugling and still have homework I need to deal with. *sigh* And I need to catch up on my chores and do some laundry... *dies*
By the way: Pilates are going to be the death of me.

At some point... (This Monday I think?) I pulled 33 hours... It was the Monster's fault. I also found a site (Thanks to Marcus) meebo.com It is so awesome!!! After a year without messangers I can finally use them again! I spent forever talking to X and Jade! I haven't got to talk to them in over a year and no one has any idea how much I missed them!!! I also got to talk to Shane and Tori over messangers too! It was great!! *so happy* Yeah I'm smack in the middle of my second week of school now.

Oh and there was this picture I drew on Kittiez Kaki ( http://oekakiart.com/kittiez ) It took me like 10 hours and 46 minutes... Alot of effort... And guess what? I DON'T LIKE IT!!!! I put it on dA anyway cause I put so much effort into it the was no way I wasn't putting it up

I'll update my LJ more regularly now.. I think I'll make it my main journal thing... Yeah... <.<

LOVE AND MONKEYS!!!

Yeah... I'm not minding my spell check... Sure there are words spelled wrong but I'm not fixing them cause I don't want to find them and more than half the words it is complaining about are abrevitions/Teletubbies/albuterol and stuff like that... So nyuh!!

My breakdown is what you thrive on.

Wed, 06 Jun 2007 03:02:10 GMT

So the subject title thingy there... That is a quote from a Shinedown song. Specifically, "Stranger Inside"
I'm kinda upset at the moment, but lets concentrate on the happy things to start with.

Alrighty then!

So, back when I gotta see the finale of my favorite show, my favorite character did in fact die. That is okay though because, thanks to his totally awesome brother, he got better!! And then over the next two weeks they replayed the finale on Sunday nights, so I was able to fully enjoy my favorite being dead, cause then I wasn't devastated and knew he'd be better....

Sunday I went to Church with and saw PotC 3 with Matt, Sarah, Jenna, and Anna. It was awesome... I can't wait until I can get the dvd and watch it over and over again...
We went to the dollar store before the movie and bought a lot of candy and hid it on my person. It was cool.
Like the last movie I have mixed feelings about it based on different characters. Here they are.
Will: OMG!!! UNEXPECTED!!!
Elizabeth: *rolls eyes*
Jack: Really made me proud there...
Norrington: *bursts into tears.... again* Why is it that I always end up the most upset over him?!?!?
Davey Jones: HAH-HA!
.....Really, I have no other very strong feelings about anyone else... So yeah....

Onto the upsetting stuffs. No one has any idea how frustrated I am at the moment.
I deal alot on myspace... and one thing that really upsets me is when you message someone, and you know that they read the message, because you know how you can go to your sent folder and it will tell you if the message has or hasn't been read or replied to... Yeah... I type out something absolutely serious and get completely ignored...
I feel like I spend way to much time on friendships that are probably one sided....
Of course, I am a fairly loyal friend and my friends may surprise me. Like Norrington did... I spent two months ranting about how all the fan energy I spent on him was a complete waste of time after seeing Dead Man's Chest and now.... Well anyway...
I also feel really silly sometimes... It's like I am (A) A freaking retard who is wasting their time on someone that is purposely ignoring my efforts.. or (B) dealing with a freaking retard who can't pick up on the hints I've been throwing.
Either way, it's frustrating....
More things that annoy me:
I've been wondering around with an uncomfortable back-brace for two days now and it is NOT helping.
I broke my favorite flip-flop the other day.

Okay, I'm gonna stop complaining now, cause I'm even annoying myself...

The song "Highway Star" reminds me of Dean Winchester :D
I haven't found one that reminds me of Sam Winchester yet.... :(

I'm bored...

Over the last month, most my characters have had serious changes made the them and are better than ever... Specifically Learan, SHANNAN, Noil, Carroll, CHESHIRE, Iago, MARIEN, Vortex, Raiden, Rain, River, Farrell, Aster Steorra, and a few others... The ones in all caps are the ones I'm most excited about... They the aren't exactly the ones that changed the most... Learan or Carroll win that prize... I think Noil and Farrell win changing the least...

Seriously, I'm bored...

What?

I could start whining again.....

Honestly though....
:P
