Innit it the cutest little Metal you ever saw? :D

mood: chipper

Digging around in my email account, I found an old email with this story in it. It still makes me smile and tear up a little, so I'd thought I'd share it.

Puppies for sale

A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the 4 pups. And set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy.

"Mister," he said, "I want to buy one of your puppies."

"Well," said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck, "These puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money."

The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then, reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer.
"I've got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?"

"Sure," said the farmer. And with that he let out a whistle. "Here, Dolly!" He called. Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur.

The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight. As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse. Slowly another little ball appeared, this one noticeably smaller. Down the ramp it slid.

Then in a somewhat awkward manner, the little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up....

"I want that one," the little boy said, pointing to the runt.

The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said, "Son, you don't want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would."

With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe.

Looking back up at the farmer, he said, "You see sir, I don't run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands."

With tears in his eyes, the farmer reached down and picked up the little pup. Holding it carefully he handed it to the little boy.

"How much?" Asked the little boy.

"No charge," answered the farmer,

"There's no charge for love."

The world is full of people who need someone who understands.

Ok, first actual entry since arriving in Cali. Whee.

First of all, I'm tired. We've been doing lots and I've been living off less then 5 hours a sleep a night. Its not that we go to bed late or anything, it's just I CAN'T SLEEP. Be it too flipping hot, or just plain uncomfortable, sleep has avoided me once again. I swear I've woken up 4 times already with my arm either completely numb, or hurting so much I want to cry. My back has been aching too. Not Space's fault or nothing, just his bed is harder then a rock. He's really tried to make it better for me with extra blankets to sleep on n stuff, but it's just not helping really. :\ I really hope the beds at the Hilton in San Fran are soft. ^_^;

ANYWAYS... my early morning bitching out of the way... let's see, what have we been up to? Lessee how much I remember in my exhausted stupor.

Saturday, May 16th-
Drove up to Whitehorse. Snowed on an off the entire drive. Got there, did some last minute shopping. Mom and dad came up with me, which was cool, it's been YEARS since we've ALL been to WH together. They locked Rom up in the shop... he destroyed the door and a wall. XD; Anyways, went to a friends Bday party for an hour or two, came back to the hotel.
Bout 4 hours sleep, even after popping ativan. Whee.

Sunday, May 17th-
Got to the airport 6am. Was like the first person there, so the lady at the desk was super helpful and even gave me the paperwork I'd need for Vancouver customs (small city airport lol). Said goodbye to my rents, tried not to freak out and cry. ^_^; Went through security, my bag got nailed and searched (lolz). Apparently my GPS was on and set off the machine. Oopsy. XD No biggie, the security guy laughed.

Boarded the plane, nice plane and nice flight. Got TV's on the back of every seat, how cool. Watched "Hotel For Dogs".
(Heehee, Space is mumbling in his sleep. XD)
Uneventful flight, except the guy next to me was watching Seinfeld and giggling like a chipmunk the entire time lol.

Got to the Vancouver airport, promptly got LOST. Somehow wound up in the international/Chinese area of the airport, NOTHING was in English. oops. Finally found my way back and entered customs. Good thing I went to early, it took well over an hour! Went smoothly, but it was funny, my bag went through the scanner and the lady stops the belt. Looks at her Xray, tilts her head, calls another lady, she looks at it, and goes "...Sonic?" She looked at me, I laughed and nodded. I have my Sonic plushie in the bag! He goes everywhere with me! XD So she let the bag pass. Hung around in the airport till the flight, and again, pretty uneventful. ...except I crashed the little TV. o.o;; I pushed a few buttons, the screen went black, then the DOS prompt came up, and it EVENTUALLY rebooted. ...I still dunno what I did. XD; So I watched Bones and uh... The Mentalist. I think.

Landed in San Fran, got off the airplane. Followed the crowd down the stairs, and wandered. There was a security lady at one of the stairs, letting people go down but not up. So I walked by, and she was singing to herself. Not quietly either, just right out singing and boy did she have an amazing voice! So beautiful! I stopped and told her she did, and she was all surprised and bashful, smiling and thanking me. Then she just started singing louder and happier, I think I made her day lol.

So after being lost and a bit of phone tag, finally found Space and his mom & aunt. We headed back to his town, and pretty much just relaxed the rest of the night. Didn't sleep well, way too hot (this became a recurring theme unfortunately).

Monday, May 18th to Thursday May 21st-
Honestly we did so much I just can't remember when everything happened, so here's the highlights.

Went to a big mall in another city... I... don't remember which. o.o Went to the Disney Store! I woulda bought so many plushies if I had the room to ship em... XD Got classic Mickey and Minnie, cause I've always wanted a Mickey plushie and never had one! :P Got a DOnald Duck tshirt and a Nightmare Before Xmas one, but the NBC one is uh, too stretchy and kinda thin, so I'll be passing that one off to RK. He'll like it. XD

Went to Build-a-Bear. At first I wasn't gonna get one but Space dragged me back in there and well... XD Got a little puppy and dressed it up to look just like my character Chris. SO cute with his little booties! Have to get a pic of him. Space bought him for me, so sweet. :) I also made a panda bear dressed like a biker/doctor for mom to have at the clinic. So cute. XD

Went to Hot Topic, and FINALLY GOT A SONIC TSHIRT!!!! :D 2 actually, one is blue with Classic Sonic with his name around him, and the other is yellow with classic Sonic laughing and Japanese text around him. I really should bought more of the blue one. XD

Saw Monsters VS Aliens... in 3D! Funny movie, I loved it. XD Hugh Laurie (House) was one of the aliens, and he does the insane role SO well. 3D movies are cool XD

Watched the new Trek movie. I really enjoyed it, especially once they said "alternate reality", then I could accept it as a standalone movie. It was really good, McCoy and Scotty were hilarious.

Went to Bass Pro Shop, this HUGE hunting/fishing/camping store. got dad a few things he wanted, and we played the shooting range for a bit, that was fun.

uhm... what else...

Oh, a few nights ago I woke up at 3am, and it felt like somebody had punched me in the face. I was SO overheated I was gasping for air. It was hard to breathe and I was dizzy... ugh. Not fun. Dunno why it came on so suddenly... but Space was so sweet. He got up with me and he put ice packs on my feet and back and neck trying to cool me down... took awhile but I finally was able to go back to bed, and he said I pretty much passed out. Had myself covered in ice packs, I was just way too hot. Felt fine the next day though.

I know there's more, but I really can't think of it at the moment. Moving on...


Friday, May 22nd-
Went to Jack-In-The-Box for lunch before heading to Oakdale for the train. I was surprised, Jack's actually made a good burger, and yummy fries. o.o
Got to Oakdale at like... 2 or 3. Got to the hotel, nice place. Hung out for awhile, then went to the train.

The train ride was AWESOME! The view was so pretty and the train was really nice. We were supposed to be in the "Yosemite Falls" car, but the AC decided to fail, so they bumped us up to he "El Captain" car, which was the top of the line deluxe car! SWEET! Big booths with super soft high back seats, giant windows, and nice ac lol. The meal was fantastic, they started off with a shrimp platter, then a salad (they used watermelon in the salad- odd but YUM!), then beef tenderloin with potatoes and veggies for the main course, then this oh so yummy strawberry, blueberry and cream cheese pastry. mmmmmm!
Watched the murder mystery play, which was really funny. It was about these movie stars doing a movie on the train, but there was another actor who was going to take over their role, so they conspired to kill him. At the beginning the "director" had a giggle fit and couldn't say his lines. XD Later, two of the actors were bickering, and "Marco" was accusing "Destiny" of sleeping around and having so many husbands. (Marco was her 2nd and 5th one XD) So she looked at a random guy and said he was one of her hubby's too, then looked right at Space, and Marco accused her of "robbing the cradle"!!! XD She shouted "Oh no! He's not my husband! He was my first baby!" and gave Space a hug and scratched his head. Space totally played right into it too. XD
Later on, they were doing a "product placement" skit, and they had "X-ray glasses". Marco put them on and started bragging how he could "see everything", then he walked over, looked at me, leaned in and looked me up and down and went "Heeeeyyy there! How YOU doing? *GRIN*" XD XD XD
Perv. XD
So the show went on and was really good. Space was one of the two to figure out all the questions and solve the crime, but sadly the other person won the draw lol Ah well, was only a TShirt. The ride was a lot longer then we thought. We figured like an hour but it was 3 and a half. Very nice ride, I loved it.


Saturday, May 23rd-
Drove back from Oakdale where the train was. Got back, hung out for a little bit, then went uptown again. Hit Target, bought some scrap booking stuff cause I wanna make a book bout this trip. Did some other shopping. Then we went top the local arcade, which was fun, but a little disappointing cause SO MANY of the machines were out of order. :\ Still, I had a good time and kicked ass on a few games. Space and I wound up with 618 prize tickets, and really there was nothing WE wanted, so we found these two little kids, like ages 7 and 3, and just handed them the ticket voucher and said enjoy. XD They were pretty shocked, I don't think they knew just HOW MANY tickets that thing was worth. XD Woulda loved to see their parents face when these two little kids came back with a crapload of little toys lol.

After the arcade, we went to the theater, and decided to catch the new Terminator movie. While we waited, we played the mini arcade there, and like I posted last night, I won a 4gb IPod Nano! I totally happy screamed about that. XD Went and saw the movie, which was good, you're typical Terminator lol. Came back, relaxed, eventually went to bed. Woke up like 3 times during the night, been up since bout 6:40am. Whee.


...So yeah, here I am. Started typing at 7:13, here we are over an hour later. I'm tired, but I can't sleep. What a surprise. Space is sound asleep though, lucky bastard. Ah well. Suppose I should to brush my hair n stuff.... maybe get some breakfast, or at least some juice, my stomach is bugging me...

mood: exhausted

So Space and I were at a theater today waiting to see the new Terminator movie, so we were in the little arcade there, and they had this "American Idol" arcade game. One of those "smack the button on the flashing light" deals to win a prize. Yknow, those type of games that generally are either rigged or damn near impossible to beat? Looks Like This. Well I was playing it, and won the "small prize" (the easy thing) twice. Got 2 little keychain flashlights. Whee. So I kept playing, and after about oh... $6, I couldn't believe it.

I WON!!! I won the BIG prize!!!

It was either a "High School Muscial" Wii Game or a 4 GB IPod Nano! NO CONTEST What I chose! :D :D :D

I won an IPod! *happy girl scream* I couldn't believe it! I thought like "no way, bullshit, it's gotta have another level or SOMETHING..." But nope! I chose my prize and it dropped down! I did a total "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!" And Space was all "WTF?" :XD He couldn't believe I won it! I was SO HAPPY! It works too! (Just need to install the Itunes or whatever lol) Talk about LUCK! :D

Totally TOTALLY made my day. :XD

mood: ecstatic

I'd totally buy this. XD

mood: awake

Phone rings, it's the crazy guy from yesterday.

Him: Hi, is there any coffee today?

Me: Why yes there is actually!

Him: Really?! I'm gonna come rob it! *all proud* I got a thermos!

Me: *lolz* Okay, sure, go for it. XD

Him: I'll be there shortly!

Yah, see, this is how we get clients to come in. XD

mood: amused

A client came in today (young guy, like 28), looked at the job boards, said hi, then he left. He comes in constantly, and is a bit of a goof off, likes to joke and tease me. 10 min later the phone rings, and it's him. He just wanted to let me know we didn't have coffee and he was disappointed. XD I was like blame my coworker, I don't make the coffee, I never have (I can't make coffee to save my LIFE... XD). He goes "You don't on purpose! You just don't want me to have coffee! *whine* You're so mean to me!"
I'm like "...yes. Yes I do. It's all because of you." he laughed and the whole phone conversation was about having coffee in the office and how he "lives" to come to our office for our coffee. I told him if I made the coffee he'd be hospitalized, and he said it "would be worth it to have the coffee".

The whole conversation made me laugh. Whatta screwball. XD

mood: amused

Mom and I were at the store today, and some stupid bimbo was wandering down the isles, just bathed in perfume. It was so fucking strong it radiated throughout the store! Poor mom has a severe perfume allergy, and within like two minutes of being in the store, she starts sounding like she's have a flu for a month. Her eyes were all puffy and her nose was plugged and she got a instant migraine. I grabbed what we needed so we could leave right away, and mom very loudly made a comment about how rude some people are drowning in the stank they call perfume. Mom was getting so sick that she said another two minutes in there and I would have been calling an ambulance for her, she could feel her throat closing up and making it hard to breath. That just pisses me off! I mean, its one thing to wear a tiny fragrance, but this woman had it CAKED on. People have severe allergies yknow! I don't want to be rushing my mom to the hospital because of one stupid bitch! Got mom home and she took some medication and now she's resting on the couch. What a way to fuck up her entire day, that just makes me so PISSED. Stupid fucking cunts...

mood: angry

Currently I have 986 Role play text documents saved on my computer. I want to go through them all, editing out all the "Spacemania says" and all the non RP chat in the files. So if I do an average of 5 files a day... it should take me about 197 days to get through them all. So like... 6 months.

...oi. vey. XD;

And then I have to go through the actual chat logs and filter out all the 2004 rp's from them, which should take another month or so on top of that.

Insane? Yeah, but it'll be worth it to have them all easily readable. XD I'm so glad I figured out the replace a word with a black space option... that will cut the time down by a lot. XD

One day I really should figure out just how many PAGES this all adds up to. I mean some RP's are as short as 10 pages at font 10, while others can be up to over 100 pages in one file. I honestly think saying we have over 10,000 pages of RP is underestimating it.

Well. One day.

mood: contemplative

I'm sick. Very....very sick. Coughing, sneezing, runny nose.... feel kinda dizzy..... contemplating if I should go home for the day or not. *headdesk*

mood: sick

Go to bed with a small headache.

Wake up with a BIG one.

Ouch. *headdesk*

mood: sore

Note: I'm not pointing this at anyone. But everyone. All opinions are welcome. I won't delete or flame anyone, because I welcome peoples opinions. It's only fair, you're hearing mine.

So I've been surfing message boards, surfing journals, talking to people for a long time... and y'know what? You religious people are slaves. You just can't see it anymore. Let's look at the definition of "Slave", as quoted from Webster.


Main Entry: Slave
Pronunciation: \ˈslāv\
Function: noun
1 : a person held in servitude as the chattel of another
2 : one that is completely subservient to a dominating influence


Now, take that definition, and take a look at your own beliefs.

1 : a person held in servitude as the chattel of another
You "serve" your lord. You will have "no other" lords above him. Your god owns your ass. You can't make your own decisions, because his "good book" tells you what to do. A book, that wasn't written by "god", but by man. And rewritten. And rewritten. Over and over again, to suit the needs of the church at the time. Parts of "god's good book" have been taking out, others put back in, time and again. Yet you follow this. Like good little puppies, you allow yourselves to be leashed by "gods word" and allow it to lead your around by the nose. Which brings me to #2.

2 : one that is completely subservient to a dominating influence
Bow before god, do what god says, or you burn in hell. Isn't that the gist of it? Reminds me of the times of slavery, when if a black man didn't do exactly what the white man said, they'd kill him. Isn't that nice? Religion is dominating. It always has been. Not for the sake of "saving your soul", but for the sake of CONTROLLING the masses. You really think that the church gives a shit about saving your mortal soul? Yah, sure, as long as you give them money every Sunday. Praise their name, advertise for them, allow them to CONTROL you.

Yknow that's another thing that has always bugged me. Giving money to the church. "Non profit organization" my ass. They're out to make a living, just like every other business in the word, except guess what? They got the idea first.

But back to the control bit. The church always controlled the people. In olden times, only members of the church, and higher powers could read. Does it really take a genius to figure out why? Because that way they could say and do whatever they wanted, and no one could stop them, because no one KNEW better. They hold up a book and say it's "gods will". Well, if you can't read, and can't see for yourself what's in those pages, then obviously they must be messengers from god, and obviously they must speak the truth! Humans were so gullible back then.

But, I guess they still are.

Well, maybe more weak, then gullible. Why is it people can't live for themselves? People can't be good, for the sake of being good? Why would I need some damn book, or a preacher yapping at me every Sunday to keep me in line and make me behave? I, like all humanity, have something called free will. Meaning, I have the ability to choose over right and wrong, and surprisingly, it's pretty damn easy to choose "right"! I don't need a collar around my neck and a leash to drag me the right way. I'm a smart girl, I can figure it out on my own. If you can't survive without some "unseen force" pushing you through live, then you really need to reevaluate that life. Stand up on your OWN two feet and learn to walk on your own! Learn to live on your own!

Oh, going off on a tangent here, but here's the biggest thing I've heard and seen that just blows my mind. I guess this one comes from watching survival shows like Rescue 911 (fantastic show BTW, everyone should watch it on youtube). Now, I have no problem with the shows or their message or anything, it's just the recurring theme, and this happens so much in life too. It goes like this:

Accident/Disaster happens. People are hurt, maimed, mutilated, and or killed.
Example: A little boy is buried under 20feet of snow by a snowplow.

People weep, cry, panic, freak out, come together to help save/rescue/solve the accident or whatever.
Example: Rescue units and neighbors work their asses off digging the boy out.

Crisis is over, and victims survive, recover, etc in some amazing way.
Example: They pull the little boy out alive, even though the boy was under the snow for over an hour.

Ending reaction?
It's a "miracle!" "God" saved him! It was "God's will" that the little boy be okay.

If it was "God's will" that the boy were to survive, it MUST have been "God's will" to screw with everyone by burying the boy in the snow in the first place! Sounds like god is a cruel, sick bastard, if you ask me. Let's have some fun with the little humans, shall we? I'll just bury this innocent little child under some snow. Lets see if they can get him out in time!
Ready, set, GO! :D

And on that token, why is it always "God's will" and a "miracle from god" when someone is saved, but god is never really mentioned when someone dies or is hurt? I mean, you don't hear "Susy was raped and left out in a back alley to die from 17 stab wounds, but hey, that's cool. It was god's will".

OH, right right, free will. It was the persons choice to hurt Susy, god had nothing to do with it! God just chose NOT to save little Susy. Sorry Susy, but your shit out of luck, god didn't feel like imposing his will and saving you. :)

So, just to make it clear.... god is good. God can do no wrong. God saves people. When he does, it's a miracle. It's "gods will". But god is picky, and he'll only choose people at random to help. So when a natural disaster happens, and 100 people are killed, most little babies and children, but say 10 or so people survive, that's "god's will" that they survive, and all those innocent babies, who didn't do nothing to nobody, die horribly.

God's will!

...Yah. Makes a whole lotta sense to me. You're god is twisted. Oh right, I couldn't possibly understand gods work. I'm sorry. Guess I'll pay for it when I die huh?

AND THERE'S ANOTHER THING!!! You people and you're OBSESSION with DEATH! Bloody hell people! You waste your LIVES worrying about what's going to happen to you when you die! Does death scare you that much? Scare you so bad you have to make up all these things to convince yourself it won't be so bad? if you're so worried about what death has to offer, then stop obsessing over it and LIVE your life! Countless people waste their lives away, keep themselves from having fun and truly being HAPPY, because they're scared of death. Scared of what's going to happen after you die.

That's where god comes in. That's where he ALWAYS come in. God is just a way to sooth our fears about then unknown. Humans need to have explanations for everything, and death is no different. It's MUCH more comforting to think that when we die, god will sweep us up in his big ol arms and carry us up to heaven where we can live again, then it is to think we we die, that's it. It's over, we're maggot food. But if you're really THAT scared of what's gonna happen when you die, then enjoy the life you have NOW. Live life to it's fullest and enjoy the time you have on this planet, cause it's the only LIFE you get.

Me? I don't fear death. Not really. I mean, I don't want to be in agony for hours when I die, I'd prefer it to happen quick, and I have no want TO die, but if it happens, it'll happen yknow? I'm not going to live to see the result, so why should I care? Death is the one constant to life. And death is always pointless, that's the point. But that doesn't mean I'm going to cower in my room, or beg "god" to save my ass, because guess what? I'm going to die. You're going to die. We're ALL going to die! Die die die!

Deal with it.

So, I guess at the end of this gigantic rant, my point is this:

Take off the collar, throw away the leash. Live for YOU. Be good because you WANT to be good, not because some book, or some business, or some unseen bogey man tells you to be. You have free will, the freedom to choose, the freedom to live.

So live.

mood: thoughtful

The one day I can spend like 90% of my day on MSN, Space is at WORK. XD; Damnit! :P

Coworker went home sick early this morning,a nd it's been SO slow here all day, I've been bored silly. I've had... 6 clients all day, and 2 were phone calls. Yee. Frikking. Ha. So I've ahd MSN on, but noooobodies talking to me. Emo tears. ;.; *shot* XD

Anyways, I haven't done a real update in awhile.

So let's see... since the incident with Rom, I've cracked down on the leash rule int he house, and for the MOST part, dad's been going with it. A few times he's not listened, but I "nicely" harass him about it afterward. He is getting better with it though, and I always take Rom out leashed now. I bought a 16 foot extendable leash, which Rom really likes cause he still gets to run and bounce around. Though he's nearly pulled my arm outa it's socket a few times cause he tries to dash at top speed. Ouch. Rom's feeling fine and healthy btw, he's just missing a tiny bit of fur on his ear tip, chin, and leg. ....I think the chin scrape though is from doing a header into the wall when he ran down the stairs too fast and missed the corner. XD

Went to WH 2 weeks ago and got my tax return back. The accountant found an error in last years taxes and fixed it, so I'll be getting an addition $340 deposited into my account in a few weeks. SWEET. Plus my return I got this year was like $1500, so that was awesome. It's pretty much gone though. ^_^; But a few hundred on each Visa, and gave dad a few hundred for groceries and things. He said he'll pay me back, but it's really no rush, I'll wait till I'm heading to Cali, then ask for it. XD; Also bought some things for the house, and some clothes, which I desperately needed. I still need clothing though, all I bought was some jeans and tshirt. I need some REAL shirts for work, but I wasn't going to waste time in the store cause I hate trying on clothes. Oh well. Dad and I made a really quick trip, left at 5:30am, and were back by 10:30pm. Nearly creamed 2 moose on the highway, that was scary as hell. The roads SUCKED driving back, one of the worst road conditions we've ever seen.

What else...

Oh! I won a tree.

Yah, a tree. In a territory full of countless tress, I won a damn tree. XD

Mom and I went to a Bingo last I think it was Thursday... it was being held by the Signpost Seniors (a local group dedicated to helping seniors throughout the community), to fund raise for a local senior who needed to get an operation, so we decided to go and support the cause. The operation needs to be done down in Vancouver (there's no facilities in the Yukon that can help her), and the poor lady just can't afford to go. What's cool, is all the businesses in town donated the prizes, so the Signpost Seniors used 100% of the profits from the bingo to give to the senior for her operation. There had to be like 40 people crammed into that little seniors hall, so I really hope they raised a lot that night.

It was fun, I haven't played bingo in years, and I've never won a damn thing. I think it was the 2nd or 3rd game in, and we were supposed to make 3 little blocks or something like that on the card, and I was just playing the game, honestly having no idea WTF I was supposed to be looking for, then I stopped and nudge mom.
"Is this what we're supposed to make?" ^_^;
She whispered back really quickly "YES! Call Bingo! Hurry!"
So I'm like "Uhm..... Bingo?" o_o;
The lady takes my card, and sure enough I got it. Yay me. XD So I picked number (random prizes- anyone who won picked a number and that number was their prize), and I was given an envelope. Inside was a gift certificate to the local Greenhouse for "A tree or shrubs worth the value of $80". So I.... guess that's pretty cool. XD; I can garden worth shit, I kill any damn plants I touch, so... I'll either give the certificate away to someone, or mom said she might use it and get like a lilac tree or something for her yard. Whatever! XD; I just think it's hilarious that I won a TREE. Gotta wait till yknow, summer, but I can use it though lol.

So then we kept playing, and near the end of the night mom got a bingo, and she got a set of cookie sheets and a cookbook as her prize. Which I think is even more hilarious, because mom DOESN'T BAKE. XD I don't garden, I get gardening stuff. Mom doens't bake, she gets baking stuff. GO FIG. XD; But hey, baking sheets are still useful for like chicken n stuff...lol.

It was pretty fun, we shared a table with the owners of the local store, and we kept teasing them that if they win, it'll be stuff they just donated. XD; They're good people, we joked and laughed a lot with them. They actually did pretty good to, the wife won a mug set, and the husband got a free dinner. Everyone at our table got a bingo. We must of been the lucky table!

So... what else.

Yknow what pisses me off? On the way back from WH, we stopped at a little gas station, and I saw one of those "UB Funkeys". It looked cute, so I bought it, cause I heard that the online game was fun. I get home, and stupid me, didn't read the box, I need the STARTER KIT in order to play the game! *headdesk* So, ok, fine. I got on ebay and buy the kit. I also bought 4 more funkeys (not that I know which games they have, but because they were so cute), and what arrives first? The funkeys! I STILL don't have the starter kit! What a tease! 5 little Funkeys that I really wanna try, and I don't have the damn starter kit to play the game yet. How disappointing. XP

Yknow what else is disappointing? When DHL loses your bloody packages. I saw this thing called Pixelblocks online, they're like legos for geeks Click here to see samples!. They're kinda see through little square blocks that you can put together to make pixel characters, or well whatever you want. I have SO many ideas for sprites to make already, and I'm super excited about getting them, and they SHOULD have been here by now.

If DHL didn't decide to ship the box ACROSS CANADA FIRST!!! *headdesk* Seriously! It came from the states right? No problems. I'm watching the tracking number, and it lands in BC. Great! Another 2 days, it'll be here! WRONG. Next day it shows up in ONTARIO. W.T.F. How does it get way the hell over there?! Last update the site gave me is that it's on it's way back, and it passed Edmonton yesterday morning, so I'm HOPING it's on tonight's bus, or Fridays bus at the latest. -_-; Someone MUST have tossed it on the wrong damn bus/plane. How annoying!

Why is it you have to wait the longest for something you want the most?

mood: bored

I come home for lunch today, have my lunch, and Rom naps on the couch beside me. I'm thinking everything is fine. Dad comes home, tells me Rom took off earlier, and he went looking for him, cause the neighbor said the taxi lady said Rom darted out in front of her car and she accidentally hit him. So dad goes looking for Rom, but when he comes home, Rom is sitting on the steps, shaking like a leaf, but otherwise fine, so dad's not sure if it was home or not. I check Rom over, and sure enough, he yipes when he tries to jump up for me. Yup, he got hit. Dad and I check Rom over more, and find one tiny cut on his leg. From what we can tell, nothing is broken, because we can touch him all over and he doesn't seem to wince or whimper, he walks fine, he climbs the stairs and jumps on the couch/bed, but you can tell his muscles are sore as hell in his rear end when he tries to run or jump. He's drinking and eating just fine, and when I took him outside, he did a long pee and it's normal yellow, not a hint of blood. Haven't seen him poop though, so I'll be monitoring that. Mom said if there hasn't been any blood in his urine by now, there won't be, so that's a good sign.

I'm angry though. Very angry. I've warned dad. Told him countless times not to let Rom take off, to put him on a leash, and dad constantly ignores me and likes to live in his little world of denial that "nothing will happen". Well something DID, and we're DAMN fucking lucky it wasn't WORSE! I'm just hoping it's ONLY bruises and that there's nothing more serious going on, but the next day or two will tell. So I've had a long talk with dad, and we're going to put hooks by the door in the house and in the shop, and hang his leashes there and I will HOUND dad to remember to put Rom on his leash when he takes him outside. Enough is enough, we can't keep tempting fate here! Dad said he was scared as hell looking for Rom this morning.

I HOPE HE WAS SCARED. I hope he REMEMBERS that fear the next time he wants to take Rom outside. I don't want what happened to Goliath to happen to Rom! I'm going to try as hard as I can to get this through dads head this time. I want him to put a hook by the doors, and when we go up to WH on Monday, I will be buying 2 extendable leashes, one for the house and one for the shop, so that we can still give Rom room to run, but he's still LEASHED. Plus I'll find his other normal leashes and hang them up to, right beside the damn door, so there's NO excuse for not leashing Rom!

Rom got hurt today, and the only ones to blame are OURSELVES. We have to change OUR habits for HIS sake...

Fuck I feel awful. Depressed, angry, upset, I feel like hell.

Blew my entire god damned night, fucked up even more a persons computer which was fucked up to bloody well BEGIN with! I TOLD people I'm NOT a fucking tech support, don't fucking expect me to ACT like one! I try what I know but I don't know enough, and I couldn't even get online to LOOK for any sort of fucking answer! And besides it's an 7 year old piece of SHIT computer! 40GB hard drive with 256 ram?! Are you fucking kidding me!? Even totally empty the fucking thing isn't gonna run fast! I TRIED explaining that but they insisted I nuke it anyways and now it fucking won't accept ANY fucking cards it has- audio, ethernet or ANYTHING, even though the ethernet is PART OF THE DAMN MOTHERBOARD so it doesn't make any DAMN SENSE why it won't RECOGNIZE IT, and I reinstalled WINXP and the drivers every god damned way I know HOW and it did nothing but PISS ME OFF, then the girls friend came and started trying to help, but he just didn't seem to GET IT that the computer didn't read the CARD, and he kept saying it was the router problem- NO it's not the router problem when the god damned thing SAYS in system info that the "problem devices" are the CARDS! Pay attention to me damnit! Will you fucking LISTEN when I try and show you that the ipconfig isn't even WORKING? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Son of a god damned BITCH I am so fucking mad right now, I feel like a complete fucking LOSER cause I couldn't get that stupid computer to work, now I have to research it tomorrow to try and find a god damned solution, but even if I do I still look like an god damnit IDIOT!

My office looks like a bomb hit it. XD We're in the middle of rearranging the place because quite frankly, WE'RE BORED! I got this tiny space to move my mouse on my desk, and the main office is so barren right now but with desks and crap all over the place lol.I have noooo idea how the hell we're gonna set it up in the end, but we'll see.

Right now though, my wrist is telling me is hates me, and I bashed the inside of my right knee so badly there's this purple spot that is slowly going black about he size of a hockey puck. I'm going to hurt like hell tonight. Check that, I already hurt like hell. Oh well.... more stuff to move lol.

The counselors form next door already walked in to see just WTF we were doing cause our walls connect and we're making a hell of a lot of noise. What are we doing? Annoying you off of course, innit fun? :D Call it revenge for always blowing the damn breaker and causing OUR systems to crash, and being too lazy to go fix it YOURSELVES. :P

For a glimpse of sun?

Looking at the morning light
And we will be together
Leaving our cares behind forever
At the first sign of spring

...Well, that was fairly uneventful. 2008 was dull. o.o

mood: sleepy

I've had the C&H ones long enough, time for some new ones, the Gargoyles! I still need to get a bunch more though, but no rush, here's the basics for now. I love the Puck ones, he's such and expressive bastard. ;D

mood: hungry

I wouldn't call it making a New years resolution per say... this is just some stuff I want to get done this year.

1. GO SEE SPACE.
I can't stress this enough. I promised myself it wouldn't be another 2 fucking years before I saw him again, and GUESS WHAT? It's almost been 2 fucking years! -_- Yah, not pleased about that one, but I just couldn't afford it last year what with everything. This year will be different though. Mom and dad promised to buy my plane ticket, so I'm holding them to that. I dunno when it will be, but I AM going to go. I don't care if I have to jack my credit cards to the max to do it. I'm GOING. I also plan to go for at LEAST 3 weeks if I can manage it, but I'm hoping on a month of they'll have me. No more of this "5-7 days" bullshit. It's just not enough time damnit! We barely say hello before we have to say goodbye. I'm sick of it. I want to spend time with the man I love, is that too much to fucking ask?

Rgh.

2. SELL THE DAMN TRAILER.
I suppose this should almost be #1, as selling it would make the trip for Space easier, but even if it doesn't sell, I'm still going to see Space. I'm planning next week to phone the real estate agents in WH to get my house listed nation wide. For what I'm asking, they said it should be an easy sell. I have very nice pictures of the outside, I just need to get in there to take pictures of the inside. Sure, there's no heat or power, but if I go during the day, I can probably get some nice photos anyways. At least it's clean and bare so it "looks big". My original asking price was 45G, but if I can walk out with a minimum of 38G in my pocket, I'm laughing all the way to the bank. That clears out every debt I have (loan, & 2 credit cards), plus leaves me with a nice chunk of change in my pocket. Considering what I paid for the place plus the cost of upgrades? That's nothing but profit.

3. Help my parents get their house up for sale.
This will take a lot of work and mainly cleaning/organizing, but we can do it. Mainly it's a lot of putting things in their place and throwing out/donating the countless pieces of junk we just don't need anymore. I've told mom n dad that they really should have a garage sale, and dad's highly considering it. They should, we have soooo much stuff we don't use anymore.

4. More Custom Ponies!
I think I'm going to enter a LOT more custom swaps this year, those are really when I work on ponies the most. I enjoy the swaps more then just making ponies, cause the swaps always present a challenge, and force me to make something I'm not used to. They force me to think outside the box on a lot of projects, and I enjoy that. I never get up the courage to do it on my own, or I lose patience with it, so swaps help me get it down because I have a due date.

5. Finish my commissions damnit!
I think last year was a little better then 07, but not by much. I really need to stop being lazy and actually work on projects I have on the go. It's easier said then done though. A lot of commissions I owe, people just haven't gotten back to me on WHAT they want it, and it's driving me nuts. I think I'm just going to draw something for them and be done with it really, I've wasted enough time.

6. The comics. Ye gads the comics.
I have like.... 4 comics on the go now- Death By Pink, Asylum, Astro, and Pullip Panic, and I need to start updating them all. I would say make a schedule, but me and schedules is like nailing jello to the wall, it doesn't work. If I could pull off ONE of the 4 a week, no matter which one, that would be fantastic. Even if it means that certain ones are on hold for a month or two because I'm only updating others, that's fine. I would really just like to see constant updates for SOMETHING. Probably never happen, but like Bart Simpson once said "I can't promise I'll try, but I'll TRY to try". I have a LOT of them HALF done... I just need to get my ass in gear and get them TOTALLY done. I find I do things in waves, so maybe, instead of releasing 3 comics in a week and then nothing for a month, I should space them and release them once a week, so at least then people have something to look forward to.

We'll see.....

And finally...

7. New icons for the DJ and LJ.
Yah, not a major one, here, but I've grown tired of the Calvin & Hobbes icons and I want new ones. My next set will be Gargoyles, cause I've made a few already (like....4), I just need to rip a shitload more from the videos. XD; They're just so damned expressive in that show, so it won't be hard. There's a few scenes from the series I have in mind, just need to get around to doing it. Just watch, I'll get THIS done first, just cause it's the least important. :P

Anyways... that's all I can think of right now. I should find something productive to do.




And NO, playing Ocarina of Time on Virtual Console DOESN'T COUNT BRAIN.

mood: contemplative

Got to bed around midnight, and RK showed up around 3am, so then we were all awake till like... almost 6. XD; Opened our presents then, so we could kinda sleep in. Still was up by 10am though. Ah well.

And the biggest one of all...

My parents gave me a "certificate" with a promise they would buy me plane tickets to go down and see Space next summer! <3 I tell you I broke down in tears when I read that!!! And sneaky Space was in on this, he's been talking to mom on the sly! :P!

Overall, a kickass haul this year. :D

I feel good, except this strange headache I have, it's like right on the back of my head and it's kinda pulsing thing..... weird. Oh well. That's what Tylenol is for. :P

mood: cheerful

A visit from a puppy always makes me feel better. :D

mood: calm

I just got in my newest piece for the dollhouse today, a stunning bed I bought off ebay! It's all handmade, isn't this amazing? It's got like satin sheets, lots of pillows, and is sooooo soft! It is the perfect size for Pullips too! This one came with a chair, but there's other sets on eBay that come with either chairs, or end tables, or even both. I won't put the sellers name here (If you want it, PM me, otherwise, just search for "handcrafted barbie bed" and you'll see a bunch of them pop up from the seller), but they make all sorts in different styles and colors! They're super nice, and really affordable too! :) I'm totally going to buy a couch set from this seller the next time I get some cash. :D
Well, enough talking, on to the pics under the cut!

mood: pleased

Been working on my dollhouse, and while it's still VERY bare, I've added a few more things to it. :)


Kitchen.
The flooring and wallpaper is in, and the kitchen unit, but that's it. Samantha and Lucas are debating... something, over a cup of coffee. XD;



Living Room.
Carpeting and wallpaper are done, a few things in the living room. I'm ordering a nice white corner couch for the room, which I think will go well with the reds.


Seras and Cinni chatting, and Seras is holding her little St Bernard puppy.


Rachel giving Aggy some lessons on reading. :)


Game Room
Flooring down, needs wallpaper and a lot more stuff! For now there's a little pool table, which I plan to make a proper base for... later. ^^; Alucard and Katelyn are enjoying a game of pool.


Motorcycle in the corner with a lot of puppies! Yes, the bike is almost a perfect Pullip scale! ;D


Bathroom.
Flooring and wallpaper done, a mirror on the wall and a can in the corner... otherwise bare. ^^; I like the walls though.


Temporary flooring and walls. I plan to redo it totally once the new bedroom suite I ordered arrived. I'm getting in a very beautiful black, red and white rose bed so I'm open to suggestions for flooring and wallpaper to match it. :)

So that's it for now! Waiting on more things to arrive to spice up the rooms. ^_^
