GROSS!

2004-01-29T22:50:19Z

Did you guys see that about the exploding whale??? SOOOOO GROSS. Anyways, I hope everyone is doing well. I am kinda stressing out a bit about some minor things, but for the most part it has been a good day. I am looking forward to the weekend and hope I get to see Charles and other friends! :) Yay! Fun for everyone! Well, I don't really have any news, so I will sign off for now. Have a great day! :)

I still need some help with Animal Crossing, btw. :/

Nice day

2004-01-13T23:18:46Z

I spent almost the whole day with Charles. :) It was nice. He is in class right now and will either get out really early (7ish) or really late (9ish). I hope he gets out early. Does anyone want to do anything tomorrow? :) I had today off from work (both jobs!!) but tomorrow I work 8-6. I have to work on Saturday morning at the bank and MIGHT have to work Saturday afternoon at the vet, but most likely not. Charles and I went to IHOP. It is expensive (for me, anyways) but was SOOO worth it. :) I am in the library at UT but I am very happy cause I had a good day. I hope everyone else had a good day as well. :) :) :)

I must have it

I want this shirt so bad.... I love www.hottopic.com

In other news, TGIF and thank God it is snowing!!!! :) :) :)

Let's Do the Dance of Joy!!!

I twisted someone's arm and made an LJ for someone. :) Hmmm... who could it be? Who should've jumped on the bandwagon a long time ago? ;) Hmmmmm......

Perhaps it is someone on my Friends list? casvale_aznable !

Oy.

2004-01-02T02:14:53Z

I am so tired. I worked a long day today at the vet, but at least my paycheck ought to be nice. :) I am done with the transaction contest at work. I did the best that I could, and after a while I will find out whether or not I have won. I am a wreck. I am so tired all the time. Charles and I have been watching "Shogun" on DVD, but I am really behind cause I keep falling asleep and then I regret sleeping. Oftentimes I can't remember driving home from Charles's house. I also tend to fall asleep and then people try to talk to me.... yesterday I think I asked Charles to "move my kek so Frodo wouldn't touch it" KEK? He was rather confused. I was confused, too. (it turned out that what I *meant* was to move my leg cause Frodo had fallen asleep on it...) In the past week, I busted my lip, got bitten by two dogs at work, and cut my finger with a big serrated (?) knife while cutting chocolate. Need... sleep.....
But despite being tired, I am very happy. I don't like working so much, but everyone else has been too busy to hang out, so I am not missing out on much, and the money will really help with my credit card situation. Let's not think about that...
Hey, Sharon, I have a Tori question. She sings in "Jackie's Strength" about Anorexia. Did Tori ever have an eating disorder? I want a career in treating eating disorders so i thought it was interesting.
Also, a big congrats to everyone that is getting married. Let's see.... I can think of 8 friends off the top of my head... 4 pairs of friends that are getting married. I just wanted to say hey.
Have a good evening, everyone!

Perfection

I was surfing the web looking for Elvish engraving and embroidering with the hopes of making (or buying) Frodo a really cool collar. But in my quest, I came across THIS:
http://www.ringdesigner.com/Tengwar-Quenya.html
I love them. They are so awesome. :) I also looked on the net to see what becomes of Eowyn. I am pleased.
Also, I forgot to say a couple of other things and am about to go to sleep, so I'll rattle them off real quick:
1. I got a tip yesterday at the bank!!! A rich customer was feeling magnanimous and gave me $40! :) :) :) The first and only tip I have ever received- and it was SOOO generous. I didn't even do anything to deserve it! I used it to help my sister treat our family to dinner last night. :)
2. I am a very lucky girl. I have lots of great gentlemen in my life- like the Charles, Sir Frodo, my Dad...
3. On Thursday at work I got bitten by a dog. His name was Wyatt Earp and he hurt me. :( Poop.
4. I am no longer in the lead at work for the most transactions for the year. I hope I can at least hang on to second place... I am working really hard but I don't think I can catch up to the girl that is in first place. Oh well, I have done my best and will continue to work hard for the rest of the year. Wish me luck!
Goodnight, I am off to sleep. Have a great evening.

Thanks

2003-12-28T01:17:27Z

I wanted to thank people for the wonderful Christmas presents. I have been really fortunate this year to be blessed with good friends to share Christmas with. Thanks, you guys.
Also, I thought this was a little ironic. My oldest sister is in town with her husband and three kids. i asked if she got what she wanted for Christmas. she said that so far she had gotten nice things, but not THE ONE THING she really wanted. what's that? a FLYLADY FEATHER DUSTER. ;) she told be about how great Fly Lady is. I thought that was amusing.
Well I am tired. SOO TIRED. and hungry. Have a nice evening.

Happy B-day

2003-12-22T03:54:34Z

Today was David's birthday. We had ice cream cake and he was in the best mood that I've seen him in in several years. Yay for that. I wrapped a couple presents (Secret Santa and more Charles gifts) and watched TV with Jonna puma. (Degrassi Holiday episode!!). David scared us pretty badly as we were watching "The Ring" and he called right at the most appropriate moment. ;) We screamed. Good times!
Tomorrow it is Secret Santa time. :) I am looking forward to it. I hope my person likes his presents. :)
Well, I guess I'll go wrap another gift or two, eh? Hope everyone is having a good day!!!!!

i am tired

2003-12-17T21:35:37Z

Last night I went and saw my boss, then met Charles for some studying and dinner. Today, more studying, then lunch, then studying, then a nap, then some baking, and soon to be more studying. Tomorrow I will study, then take the test, then cry that my scores aren't gonna be high enough, then go out and have a good time to celebrate the test being over. I just need to find some time for LotR. :) I can't wait! Everyone wish me luck tomorrow on my test!

Hello world!

2003-12-14T00:23:54Z

Hi to everyone. Some of you I feel like I haven't seen in awhile. (*Jonna*) I am working on my Christmas shopping, and I have done some shopping online. For those of you whose gifts I bought online, I want to apologize ahead of time if they are late. I did the best I could. :/ I hope people like their gifts. I wish that Charles and I could buy stuff for everyone, but despite my second job (which I just majorly cut back on, btw) I still don't have any money.
Today I got called in to work at the Powell branch of First Tennessee. While I was there, another branch was getting robbed! So exciting! This week I re-take the GRE. I need to study more. I think I'll go do some after I get off of here. I have Wednesday and Thursday off work, too. I have the test on Thursday, and I was supposed to be off work on Friday as well, but I am sacrificing one vacation day in order to try and boost my transactions. If I can do a TON of transactions then I might win the contest at work. If that happens, Charles and I will go to Nashville for a little awards ceremony, and the bank will pay for the hotel and at least one free meal. Some other people from my branch are going, so I hope I win!
Then on Saturday night is the Christmas party for work. It is at an inconvenient time, but it will only last an hour or two, so Charles and i will still get to go do fun stuff.
Well, I mostly just wanted to say hi to people. I want to talk to Shay sometime, but I don't want to call cause I am afraid to wake him. Ah well, I am gonna go study a little. Everyone have a great night! :)

Random things

2003-12-11T01:37:47Z

Firstly, this makes me think that I might like Gundam afterall:
http://www.gundamstoreandmore.com/ban904329.html

Secondly, this made me think of Jonna:

Thirdly, I have gained some weight and need to do something about it, but the GRE book I have been reading said that this is NOT the time to make changes in life. It says that in the weeks before the test you should not try to gain or lose weight, start or stop smoking, sleep less, move, change jobs, et cetera. So there ya have it. :) I will live with the poochiness. Well, I wish I had more to say, but I am sleepy. Have a wonderful evening. :)

You are Phlegmatic. You have a peace-loving
nature, and make a good listener and a faithful
friend. You do have a tendency to be selfish
and stubborn in your worst moments, and your
worrying can lean towards paranoia. Phlegmatics
should consider careers as accountants,
diplomats, engineers, and administrators. You
are a somewhat reluctant leader, but your
practicality and steady nerve under pressure
makes you a natural choice for leadership
roles.

hi!

2003-12-10T02:55:34Z

I just had a long chat with Shay about the usual stuff... society and stars and CRAZY people. Today I started a trend at work- a craving for Krystals. We spoke of Krystals and now everyone wants to eat them. Hmm, what else is new? My zipper is broken on my purse and I love my purse but it isn't fixable, so I will need to get a really cool replacement purse. I wish I had something else to say, but now that I am distracted by the TV, I can't think of anything to say. Ooh, except that Charles has an interview tomorrow. Wish him luck!! :)
Have a nice evening, everyone! :)

Today i learned that i had majorly hurt someone's feeling and gotten someone in trouble. :( I am really sorry. :( for the most part things had been going ok, but there is lots of stress. Got a REALLY nice offer to go back to something I loved to do, but I don't know how I can negotiate my other time and financial commitments to allow it. Things at work (job #1) are complicated by the fact that i have a chance to make a nice achievement, yet some coworkers feel it is unfair, so they are trying to ruin things for me. I am actually proud of what I have accomplished at the bank, and I am excited at the prospect of some recognition for it, but now that it has upset some people, I just wanna walk away.
Today we saw Timeline and it was really good. very enjoyable, IMHO. I can't wait for RotK, though... that is where my anticipation is. :)
I have a few friends left to shop for, but I bought Charles a present today. :) and i made a donation to get it wrapped nicely, so it won't look like crap. I am the worst gift-wrapper ever, and if my presents are placed within 50 feet of Sharon's beautiful presents I may die of shame... I am serious, mine suck that badly. ;) but at least I am well on my way with shopping! :) things are mostly good, and I am mostly happy. btw, the last episode of Degrassi was AWESOME- all about Ellie! :)
OK, that is all for now, I guess. Sorry to ramble. Everyone have a good night!

Christmas shopping

2003-12-07T00:56:48Z

Charles and i got some of our shopping done. We have a couple of friends left to buy for, and all of Charles's family, but other than that we made great progress. And get this: while we were at Toys R Us, we saw memebers of the 501st! See?
http://www.501st.com/default.html

That prompted me to look at their sister page:
http://www.rebellegion.com/index.asp?IE=5

There are some awesome costuming tips on there. *nudges Shay with insinuation of dressing as a SW character for his wedding*

mwa ha ha ha.... hope everyone is well. I am sitting next to Joshua! :) Good night everyone. :)

sleepy

2003-12-05T02:29:01Z

Things at work are good- it was a great day. But now I am tired, and I have to study when I really just want to take a nap. Frodo is well and really likes his new home. I would write more, but I am a sleepy girl.

YAWN!

2003-12-03T01:57:20Z

I am so tired. I am going to take a nap. Tomorrow I have the day off work at the bank, so I am working all day at the vet. I am going to be stressed beyond belief so I hope someone will have fun with me tomorrow evening... hanging out, or watching a nice Christmas movie or something. For now, I must sleep. In the meantime, enjoy this picture:

Christmas time!

2003-12-01T01:48:47Z

I am so excited.:) The Christmas season is always kinda emotionally charged for me. Ben's got his tree and garlands up though, which is most impressive. :) I dunno if we'll have a tree at home this year or not- sometimes we do, sometimes we don't.
Today I overslept. I have NEVER overslept to the point that I was late to where I was going.... except today. I had to be at the vet's at 8 am. When did i wake up? about 8:30. Talk about anxiety! :/ Poor anna. i felt so bad. :( I hate being late. i hate being irresponsible. My boss wasn't TOO mad though. we have been really really busy at the vet cause of animals not getting picked up from Thanksgiving stayovers. blar. but hey, who cares? i am making money for CHRISTMAS SHOPPING. fa la la la la. la la la la.
btw, Gyopi, why have you stopped posting? everyone needs to post more! come on, everybody!!!

Gotta Catch 'Em All!!!

2003-11-29T16:47:49Z

Everyone needs to go to www.hottopic.com and search for: Lord of the Rings. I want them ALL!!!! I am so greedy. ;) I especially want THIS one:

and THIS one:

I am not asking for people to buy me these (i am not THAT greedy), I just thought they were so cool that everyone would want to see. :) *drool drool*

hey

2003-11-29T02:41:16Z

What's up, everyone? A lot is up with me. Nothing big, just busy busy busy. I saw some people tonight, and Charles and James are (ironically) playing Taiko no Tatsujin while Shay tries to sleep. Good luck, Shay. ;) Jonna, I miss you. :( Charles is gonna try to get his move on tomorrow, probably while I am at work. As for myself, I am tired. I don't know whether it is work (I haven't been working the second one nearly as much as it feels like I have...) or the medicine I am on for my back, but I am just exhausted. Furthermore, I found out that my General GRE scores (from the test that I took this time last year) are NOT high enough to get me into Grad School, so I am going to attempt to re-take it in the next week in order to have everything done by the January 15th deadline. I might as well give up >_< but I am gonna just do my best and try, try, try.
I am eagerly awaiting the next LotR movie and Christmas and (quite possibly the best:) my vacation time right before Christmas. Tonight I spend almost all of my gold on Gaia buying shoes and a tail to go with the top that I bought yesterday. Check it out:

There is a new Degrassi on tonight... I'll have to catch the rerun sometime. BTW, you remember Jonathan Brandis from SeaQuest:DSV? He killed himself.
Have a happy day everyone.... *sigh*

:)

2003-11-24T02:14:14Z

I am tired but happy. Charles and I had a good weekend and I am happy. We watched some movies. Today I worked, went to see Charles, worked some more, and then saw Charles some more. :) If it weren't for the work, it would be ALL GOOD. :) I hurt my back somehow, though. Ever since Friday it has really been bothering me. Dunno what I coulda done. :/ I have started by Christmas shopping but I need to do SOOO much more. And lastly, some proof that I am the biggest dork ever:

I hope everyone has a good evening, and if I don't talk to you, have a great Thanksgiving, as well! :)

heya!

2003-11-21T03:39:12Z

I am so totally disgusted with Michael Jackson. But perhaps equally shocking, is this:

*shudder*
How is everyone today? I saw "Elf" last night on a double date with some friends. :) *nudges friends* and TODAY I saw James, Shay, and Jonna, and Ben and David AND CHARLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woot! And Frodo, the poor little pup with a satellite dish on his head. I worked both jobs today, and each job is a refreshing break from the other. :) Hope everyone is doing well, but as for me, I need some sleep. :) :) :) Good night to all!

I took a quiz!!!!!!! *gasp*

Maiden - You are an innocent. You speak softly and
blush often. Preserve those soft looks and that
young body, for a suitor is coming...

What kind of medieval lady are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

Now then, what do you think of this?

Well, today Frodo did a very bad thing. He pulled out his stitches. AGAIN. The first time wasn't so bad cause he had JUST LEFT the vet when Charles noticed, so they just turned around and went right back. But this morning when he did it, there was no vet to be found. :( We put some underwear on him, but he removed it. He is uncomfortable positioned in his kennel where he can't move around too much. I feel really bad for him, but restraining him is really the best thing we can do for him at the moment. :/ it is really really sad. :(
Today I started the new job. I worked a big 2.5 hours. :) There is a LOT to remember, but I hope it will all work out for the best. It seems kinda fun, and it would be even better if Charles could work there too. We will have to see what happens. :)
Last night, MC had her confirmation. I am so proud! Special thanks to those of you that came to see her- she was really excited that you were all there and that she got to meet Jonna. I am glad you were all there- it made it so much more enjoyable. :)
Ok, I guess that is all. :) Have a nice day!!!!! Wish me luck with the vet job!!! :)
