Cats and Dogs Living Together!

Summary

2005-04-17T05:29:49Z

I've been SO bad about updating. So... what's going on with me right now?

Well I walked out of Blockbuster because I was just fucking sick of it. I'd had enough, they were treating me like shit and I deserved better. After a month of unemployment I got better. I'm working as a financial assistant, it's a "real" job, same hours every day, holidays and weekends off and I get $11 an hour for it. Woo!

Ryan is being sent to Iraq (contractor, not military) for four weeks next month. He leaves the 20th and comes back the 18th of June. He'll be gone for both Animazement and my birthday. I feel all sorts of emotions over this but I'm a lot less nervous since I've talked to several contractors who have gone and are obviously still alive. Still, I love my Ryan and don't want him to go. ;_;

That being said, Todd and I are still going to Animazement.

I got a new phone! It's a camera phone and it's super nifty and I love it. I also got an ipod but it hasn't come in the mail yet. *squee*

Lately I have been spending ALL my time on Gaia in the TMNT guild. I've been in an RP since Febuary that has become my second life. I rarely even update my LJ anymore.

And that sums it up!

Moving!

2004-12-10T14:15:14Z

Kay, I haven't really mentioned this here but I haven't really been around either. *L* So that explains it! ^^

But anywho, the house Ryan and I had built is officially ours today. And we're moving all our stuff in tomorrow! It's a great house! It's two stories, grey with black shutters and a two car garage. Four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, one of which with a garden tub. *squeel* Way too big for a girl, her boyfriend and their cat but y'know... we're going to enjoy it. Expect pictures!

Awww I love you guys! HEY! I'll um, do a "if you want a Christmas card then comment" thing later on after I'm settled. I haven't sent my cards yet but I've got most of my address from LJ, DeviantArt and Gaia. ^^ I'll do an entry with filtered comments later.

I'm boring. Yay.

2004-09-02T11:37:13Z

WHAT is there to talk about? I work. I work a lot. Tuesday and Wednesday I worked 12:00 to 8:00, today I work a "normal" shift of 9:00 to 6:00, and then I work from... various times till 10:00 this weekend. (I think I start at 3:00 Friday and 4:00 Saturday.) And the sad thing is, I don't wanna work a normal shift today, I wanna do Gamerush again. XD But that's what I'm doing all week aside from today. And I'm pretty sure I'm working with the village idiot today so yeah, being away from her would be nice. HOW is it that I know more about my manager's job than she does? Hmmm?

So yeah my life is totally boring lately. Tonight I wasn't planning on having Todd over since it'll be the most time Ryan and I will get to spend together in one sitting, but I feel bad since Todd's giving me a ride to work today. So yeah, he's coming over. If he didn't Ryan and I would more than likely end up each sitting at our own computers doing our own thing anyway. And me and Todd are going to watch the third Ginger Snaps movie. ::prays it won't suck:: (It's gonna suck.)

DO IT.

2004-09-01T14:48:55Z

Random meme-age I'm sorta making up as I go along. *L* What?

What Celebrity...

Would you like to talk on the phone with?
David Hyde Pierce, I'm currently loving his voice. ^^ (I am teh geek.)

Would you like to spend the day hanging out with?
Jhonen Vasquez. I'd love to sit and talk to him.

Would you like to have a casual lunch with?
Danny Elfman, nuff said.

Would you like to go on a date with?
Eddie Izzard. Another person I just want to sit and talk to, but I think he'd be more of a "date" person than Jhonen. (And who CARES if he has a long term girlfriend?!)

Would you like to have hot sweaty sex with?
Gackt... duh. The man's prettier than me but OH WELL.

And I don't know if Jhonen even counts as a celebrity but he is well known and out of reach so yeah... it works for me.

Work and geek.

2004-09-01T03:11:32Z

Today was a good day after I got past the part where I was afraid I had no ride to work... and that whole groggy tired thing, that sucked too. But work went well, it passed by quickly and nothing bad happened. Tomorrow should hopefully be the same way. ^^ And I don't have to worry about the ride issue again till Friday, another big plus. YAY!

My journal is no longer Abe themed, not that it really was overly Abe themed in the first place. Now it leans more towards a Treasure Planet theme but again I didn't really do much. Trust me, I'm still just as obsessed with Abe, but I've been watching Treasure Planet a lot lately and can NOT get over the cuteness that is Doppler x Amelia. ^^

Oh and by 'ze way, for those of you taking notes (WHY would you take notes on my obsessions?) David Hyde Pierce does the voice for both Abe fr. the Hellboy movie and Dr. Doppler from Treasure Planet. XD

Spork!

2004-08-26T22:33:42Z

I'm doing STUFF tonight! Well I mean sorta. Usually Todd comes over and we watch movies but tonight Todd's bringing Kristen over and after we run to Blockbuster so I can buy Four Swords the three of us plus Ryan will play that. ^^ I'm being almost social! Granted we'll only be able to play till 10:30 or 11:00 but at least we'll get some play time in. And who knows, maybe (if Kristen drinks) we'll invite her over for a drinking night sometime. Hell if we invite her over after we get the house she can sleep in her own room! *L* (Though personally she is the one person I'd be willing to give Todd up to. She's a nice girl and she's not weird about me and Todd spending time together. (I mean she can't be b/c they aren't dating but y'know...)

Work was work, I worked with The Fuhrer which sucked, but we're having a new competition at work which has piqued my interest. I don't give a damn about the prize (pizza party) but I like the idea of the team vs team thing. I seriously want to beat their ass. XD Me? Competitive? Neeeeeever. ^^

Meh

2004-08-26T11:37:45Z

CRAMPS!

I'm tired. BUT this time it's my own fault. I was headed off to bed last night when I realized I hadn't written anything and sat down to do a bit of that. Now I'm seriously hoping I don't read it and realize it's crap. I'm horrible at action scenes, I can picture things but can't really describe them all that well. Can I just have someone else write my action scenes for me? *L* It'd be a collaboration. XD But yes, I ended up going to bed at like 2:00 am, woke up a few times because the alarm on my fucking watch got set and I swear I shut it off four goddamn times and it KEPT going off. Then woke up for "real" at around 6:30 or so. Blegh.

Lately my sleep has been weird. Some nights I get no sleep due to my little "problem", then others I'll fall asleep in a nap-like fashion around 7:00 or 8:00 and I'll just end up going right to bed. So I'm either not sleeping enough or I'm sleeping way too much. But no... I'm not pregnant. *L* SILLY ME!

I need coffee, I should make some before work. But will I? Gooooood question.

Me.

2004-08-26T05:01:16Z

So I saw a third doctor today and he basically said he doesn't really know what's wrong with me. But he gave me some things he thinks might be it and told me some stuff to try. If I'm not better in a week I'm to come back and if necessary we'll find out what the hell I'm allergic to, as that is probably the reason for my itchyness.

So far I have spent $135 on this little "problem", and that's not counting any OTC stuff I've bought. Well technically $20 of that I needed to spend anyway, and it's not counting the lab work that will be around $90 but that was another thing that would have to happen anyway. Still, for a girl who is broke that's a lot of freakin' money.

But I don't want to think about money right now. I've had an emotional breakdown Monday and I've had mini depressions just about every day since then about it. The most I can do is try and skip my breaks at work (or at least make them shorter), clock in early before work, late after work, and come in early if possible. Work work work. Work = cash. Cash = good. Good = me not crying all the damn time.

Aaaaaaand I have cramps. Kill me.

[Edit] I'll catch up on everyone's entries soon, I'm sorry I've been so slack lately.

"real" entry

2004-08-18T03:56:15Z

Yeah I could do a real update but that would involve something actually happening in my life, and nothing really does.

But um... let's see... yesterday Todd and I went to the biggest fekking cemetery we've ever been too, we have never SEEN so many dead people in one place. We didn't get eaten by alligators, attacked by mean birds or die at the fangs of giant spiders. We were attacked by giant redneck flies but we lived, only I still think they laid eggs in Todd's head.

Today I thought the cat ran away, I went out places with my mom and then when Ryan got home we ran to my parents' house. One of these days I'll actually spend some time with my family as a whole but eh, there's so much drama and angst (my little brother) that it's all a bit much really.

I ate too many tacos for dinner and I have to get up at 6:30 tomorrow morning, I mean actually get up and not lay in bed till 7:00. I have to ride in with Ryan which means I'll get there at like 7:30 and I work at 9:00. Yeah.

See, real entries are lame.

I did stuff... a while ago.

2004-08-14T16:12:09Z

Right, ya'll are gonna get FLOODED with entries from me today apparently. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I have an icon journal on DJ somewhere, but really it's so hard to make good DJ friends that I figure I'll just post my icon stuffs here. So I POST!

Wow I've been a major comment whore this morning. *L* I need to find new communities to join so I can post in them... a lot. Or I could post in my own. *L* I wonder if I have any urban decay pictures I haven't posted yet... in urban_decay. I guess I could post my photo edits since it is my community and all. *L* Gads I suck. ^^

Can't you just kill them?

2004-08-14T15:11:38Z

We didn't get CRAP from the hurricane. -_- It's annoying, but at the same time it's funny because we can laugh at all the idiots who rushed out and loaded up on ramen and spam. XD Oh and videos, because Blockbuster was packed yesterday. Durrr. Morons morons morons. I have today off though. ::does a little jig:: I don't have to deal with the idiots till tomorrow, and even then I'm Gamerush. ^^

I'm off to find a freakin' walkthrough now, b/c of all things I'm stuck on the Harry Potter GBA game. (I really want to find my Pokemon Puzzle League but I can't.) As in I'm literally stuck on a ledge and I can't get off. *L* Woops.

I'm so gonna get jumped one of these days.

2004-08-12T11:58:40Z

I stole this from kaffeeenekitty and it amuses me muchly.

Woooo!!! I do know more about multiple personalities, but I could more easily see myself being schizo. *L* I don't have any deep deep psychological trauma (that I know of... gasp!) so only one personality for me. Aw poo. *L*

HA!

2004-08-12T11:49:56Z

Okay this is TOTAL dorkdom. XD Todd and I went to Atomic Comics and I got the Right Hand of Doom TPB and two of the sets of little Hellboy toys. ^^ I got Abe and Sammael, and Kroenen and Hellboy. So yeah... I took pictures.

Kroenen decided he wanted to start a band.

Sammael decided he'd get some crazy computer sound effects in there.

Abe wanted to play guitar and sing lead, the little prima donna!

Hellboy was too busy cruising through Malibu to care.

Kroenen gave up.

But Sammael urged him on, much to the trauma of Hellboy and Abe.

Still, they were better off than Kroenen. He hasn't been the same since.

HA! Props courtesy of hide and his little playset. And yes I had to pull Hellboy's legs off to fit him in the car. Thankfully he comes in half without breaking anything.

(x-posted to my LJ because c'mon... it's DORKY.)

Lookit.

2004-08-09T14:10:33Z

I think I'm going to have this picture framed and matted for when we move into the new house. (Y'know, once it's done.) Yes for those of you new to my flist, my boyfriend and I are having a house built and it should be done sometime in November. ::dances::

Anywho, picture.

I have a very patient cat. =^.^=

I know some of ya'll like looking at photos of abandoned places and whatnot, so you must check this guy out. Every time he posts I'm reminded of how much I want to meet this guy. He lives in Germany and I've joked about coming to see him if I ever visit my sister (which I won't) and he says I could. *L* Probably because he knows I won't ever get to go! But god his stuff is beautiful. He's got a website, but I don't speak German. ARG!

Also, if you like spooky Silent Hill-esque manipulated artwork, check out this guy, I'm loving him too and not because he knows how to flatter a girl and use her stock for amazingly cool things.

Um... that's all really. ^^

Give it a rest!

2004-08-09T11:46:20Z

This thing with the teacher who went to jail for having sex with her student is... weird.

First off, the people on tv kept saying he was 12, but I've heard on more than one occasion that they met when he was 12, but they didn't have sex till he was 13. Dear God that doesn't make it okay but it seems like the news media is yet again trying to make things sound even worse than they are.

Second WHY is this so important? She's served her sentence, and it's crazy but apparently they both are interested in a life together. O_O (I'm thinking "the hell?!" but whatever.) He's a dropout, and basically his only hope for the future is to live off the publicity this has gotten him. She may be a convicted sex offender but that doesn't change the fact that chances are, she has a MUCH better chance at a life than he does. It's almost like he needs her. (Who knows, maybe the wanting to be together is a calculated move by him and his mother to get even more publicity, that wouldn't surprise me either.)

Just Jesus people, why am I waking up to find this on my tv every damn morning? EVERY MORNING!

Not bad! YAY!

2004-08-09T02:59:03Z

I bought my copy of Hellboy today and geeked out after reading the mini comic that came with it, and got all squeely about the Director's Cut coming out. *L* Yes I'm a GEEK. <3 for Abe yo. Abe and his "neck lettuce". XD Where did I even hear that?!

Work didn't suck today and that was so appreciated. There's this kid Josh that I've been trying not to make an opinion on until I really talked to him, and that was today. Yeah, he's a jerk. His sole purpose as far as I'm concerned will be for me to mock and ridicule and just generally try to make him feel small. ^^ I'm so nice! But it's hard for people to really rub me the wrong way, just because when you're in a work environment it's easier to play nice than to say what you really think. He just fucked up today, it started out as teasing but then he just pissed me off, so my teasing got mean. Awww poor baby.

Yeah today was good, and hopefully tomorrow will be better. ^^

Lookit the geek.

2004-08-08T14:38:15Z

I'm all dressed for work, just waiting for Ryan to get back from his parents' house so he can give me a ride. I'm not dreading today, it's only a 6 hour shift, with my favorite manager, on the last day of "tax free weekend" which means people will more than likely be everywhere else but Blockbuster. Who knows though, we may end up busy. ::shrug:: Either way, it's all good.

I grabbed my old Gameboy color and some games to trade in, I'd be lucky to get $20 for all of them and that's considering I'm told the GBC is going for $12 trade in credit. -_- I seriously don't think I'll get that much since my games are all Gameboy Color games and not GBA games. There is one Gamecube game though... so maybe. Either way it's all going towards a copy of Hellboy that I must buy. ^^

Yesterday I bought a BPRD TPB (wow... that is so geeky) which isn't the one I wanted but it's still pretty good. Great for an Abe fan really, since Hellboy only appears like three times (in flashbacks) and Abe is the center of most of the stories. Still, I want to see the one where he gets shot by a monkey with a gun. XD I laugh at Abe's pain!

Okay... I go now. My geekyness has bored you all I'm sure. MOO!

Brain hurts... but otherwise I'm fine.

2004-08-07T20:02:24Z

Calling in went oddly well, and I went to the Doctor's Care place and got myself taken care of. I was right, I had what I thought I had, and I got a pill for it. ^^ Afterwards I went home and just died for a few hours. *L* I'm feeling pretty okay now aside from a headache that will hopefully go away soon.

Later today Ryan's going to take me to the mall so I can look at Books A Million for a Hellboy TPB. I've got one in mind that I want (the one that involves Abe getting shot by a monkey with a gun. HA!) but I don't know what the odds are I'll find it. Really I guess I should look Monday too before I order it online but... who knows. Might wait, might not. Patience has never been a really big aspect of my being. *L*

Ah best part about this no worky thing, is I have a note! So they can't say CRAP to me! ::dances:: Yay for notes!

SO not good.

2004-08-07T11:12:41Z

I have a "problem" and I am going to explain it. It's total female TMI though, so if you don't want to read it just don't. You can still understand my pain by simply knowing I have a "problem" that is causing me great discomfort.

I'm pretty sure I have a yeast infection... or I was pretty sure. I tried treating it with home remedy stuff and one aspect of it went away (I'm not going to get into too many details) but now it's changed. I went from 98% sure it was yeast, to now only... I don't know, just less okay? One good thing is the itching has pretty much gone away during the day. But at night... oh GOD at night. This is the second night in a row it's woken me up and forced me out of bed to deal with it. It's itching like crazy, and after trying to relieve itchiness it goes to burning. I want to DIE.

(For those of you who didn't want to read that, this problem has woken me up the past two nights.) Tonight I couldn't get back to sleep, and so after three hours of restless (waking up every half an hour or so for unrelated reasons) sleep I'm awake. I have to work 9:00 to 5:00 today and I'm SO wanting to call in. There's a problem with that though, there always is.

At Blockuster they try to make us find our own replacements and frankly I'm not going to do that. I'm not a manager, I'm just an underpaid CSR. (I have reason to believe new hires are getting paid as much as or possibly more than I am and I've been there for years.) Also, we're supposed to call two hours in advance, but they can't really get me in trouble for that b/c I come in at the same time as the manager. Even if I had his number I doubt he'd appreciate me calling him at 7:00 am to tell him I'm not working today. And lastly, well I'm basically screwing him over. I don't like the manager, but I like to think I'm at least a little respected, and I hate screwing people over b/c I hate when it happens to me. ::sigh::

Sooo yeah. I think I'll call my ASM (who I can talk to as a woman/friend/manager) when it gets a little later and see her opinion. GOD I hope she's home/awake.

Cabin fever yo.

2004-08-07T01:00:22Z

Work wasn't bad, it was slow so basically all I did was walk around and chat up people in the game section. ^^ Good day! Of course I was under the impression we were going shopping after work but we're not. -_- A new episode of Stargate is on so we're waiting for tomorrow. If I'd known THAT I would have gotten Hellboy tonight instead of waiting for tomorrow. But that's okay, Todd and I are talking about going out for coffee. ^^ Nyah! Of course, Ryan's invited, I mean he is the man I love and all.

I'm trying to get Todd to let me borrow his Hellboy comic. *L* I WANT! I'm planning on buying some myself, hell I could order them on Amazon.com right now if I wanted too. But if he'd let me borrow it that'd be even better!

I WANT ABEY GOODNESS!!! And Christ I want to get out of here and GO somewhere. >_

I'm so lame!!!!111oneoneeleven

2004-08-06T17:26:44Z

Ooooh I'm thinking of getting $5 worth of paid time here so I can make my own mood theme and get a better style or something. Though once I pick one I'll have to keep it after my paid time runs out.

But but... NO ONE LOVES ME HERE! ::angst angst:: *L* Or maybe it's just because what I say is sporatic and uninteresting at best.

Like OMG who cares that I'm just ToTaLlY obsessed with Abe from Hellboy?! Seriously, if I wasn't me, I wouldn't care. XD

Caffeine before work = gooooooooood.

Happiness pie!

2004-08-06T17:04:15Z

::stretch::

Ooooh my life is so boring. *L* But I'm having fun... for the moment. ^^ Truthfully this week has been total shit, but today is working out quite well.

I have a ride to work, I got a decent sleep, I have coffee, watched a movie, and I got PAID today. $400! That's like... INSANE for me! O_O LOVE LOVE LOVE. So tonight I'll buy Hellboy before leaving work (ABE!) and now I just have to survive the weekend.

My shift is 2-8 tonight, which I'm not even dreading! I'm actually excited because it's the first Gamerush shift and I'm all happy b/c that means I get to be one of the first to do it. I'm not doing it Saturday or Sunday though... I guess they want to break everyone in or something. Next week I'm doing it Friday and Sunday though. ROCK. Hopefully I like this. ^^

Meh.

2004-08-04T12:05:03Z

Me in doll form:

Actually it isn't *too* far from true. The shoes are similar to my green shoes of doom (which are dark green and light green instead of dark green and white), the shirt is similar to my bar wench cleavage of doom shirt, I wear jeans pretty much all the time, and yes I have big green sunglasses that no one in the world likes but me. And the bee thing? Well DUH. *LOL*

I'm so tempted to make an Abe Sapien theme for this journal but I just finished making it all Slytherin-ey. And one of these days I want to get a paid account at least long enough to get my own mood theme but that'll be a while. ::sigh::

Work today! Yesterday sucked and I'm expecting the same from today. But it's not a total loss because I have tomorrow off. Yay!
