Absolute rain

July 31, 2009

Again with the pouring rain and me going home. I swear, mother nature does not like me. Wednesday I got soaked and today I got soaked. Got out of work early today so I went over to my dad’s office and visited him for a bit. When we both left at 4, it was pouring it’s ass off. On my way home, I stopped at Giant and…it was pouring. Camped out in our tiny Giant for a bit by the big oven they have to dry off and when I went to leave – yeah, it started pouring again. Just my freaking luck. By the time I got home, I had been rained on and soaked three times. So now my hair is kind of a straggly mess. But that’s okay. I had it down for a bit because I get such a headache when we’re going to get storms but now that they’ve passed, I can pull it up. Its in loose curls really. And I’m no longer wearing the dark colors I wear to work. It’s actually funny, I wear dark jeans and a black shirt at work but come home and I’m in blue and white plaid (again with the plaid!) pj pants and a white tank top – talk about light colors. I don’t know, I’m out in public and all I wear is dark colors; but if I’m at home, I’ll wear lighter colors most of the time. That’s not to say I don’t wear black at home but for the most part, I tend to wear colors. I know, I’m strange.

Tomorrow I want to work on getting some more of these books packed away. And DVDs. Blah.

I also want to start working on coding a web page. I know, I know. I keep saying I’m going to do it but I don’t.

Wait…you're a girl? I'm confused…

July 30, 2009

Apparently it is confusing for some people when you admit to being a girl in World of Warcraft. I find that really funny. Especially considering I personally know a few females who play but I guess that’s just the dork in me.

Sketcher’s Shape Ups really do work the muscles. I was in doubt at first but after my second day of wearing them, I can feel it in my legs and lower back. Tomorrow will be regular sneakers! Probably the green ones. And my “Come to the Dark Side, we have Cookies” t-shirt since my “Come to the Dark Side, Become a Lawyer” and “I’d Rather Defy Gravity then be popular” t-shirts have yet to arrive.

Law school starts in 33 days and counting.

I turn 27 in 8 days and counting…(okay, for another three hours, it’s 9 days).

Because really, who wants to share all that touchy feely stuff

Get Chitika Premium

As stolen from my step-sister on facebook.

Tired of all of those surveys made up by high school kids?! Have you ever kissed someone? Missed someone? Told someone you loved them? Drank alcohol?’

35 questions for the people who are a little older…Tag me and a bunch of people when you finish.

Copy the questions here; start a new note and paste putting your answers over mine. Then tag your friends to see what we all have in common.

1. What bill do you hate paying the most?
My student loans – they’re like rabbits, they just keep multiplying.

2. Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner?
I’ll get back to you when it happens.

3. What do you really want to be doing right now?
Playing World of Warcraft…and maybe sleeping. But WOW won’t load and sleep…is just not going to happen right now.

4. How many colleges did you attend?
Let’s see, Montgomery County Community College, CHI Institute, Delaware Valley College, Monco again, Kaplan University and as of September first, Concord School of Law…*pulls out abacus* six – though maybe I should only count Monco once instead of twice; and technically CHI, Kaplan and Concord are all owned by the Washington Post Company so maybe they should only count as one too…no? Darn. Okay, we’ll go with Six.

5. Why did you choose the shirt that you have on right now?
Truthfully? It was the first shirt I could find when I fell out of bed this morning.

6. What are your thoughts on gas prices?
It could be worse.

7. First thought when the alarm went off this morning?
If I pull the covers over my head will the world cease to exist?

8. Last thought before going to sleep last night?
I wonder what would have happened to Robespierre if he had listened to the people instead of beheaded them.

9. Do you miss being a child?
No. But that’s because I look at life as yes, I do have to be an adult and be responsible but there’s no reason why I can’t still play with toys if I want too. Of course, toys now consist of gadgets and computer games…and the very occasional water gun.

10. What errand/chore do you despise?
Folding clothes. I never understood why you need to fold something if you have to unfold it to put it on. Of course, we don’t have closets so that point is mute.

11. Get up early or sleep in?
Sleep in. Ask anyone – I am so not a morning person.

12. Have you found real love yet?
No

13. Favorite lunch meat?
Buffalo Chicken

14. What do you get every time you go into Wal-Mart?
Lately? Cream cheese because I’ve been craving cream cheese and crackers for snacks and breakfast.

15. Beach or lake?
Beach – it’s more fun to walk on at sunset.

16. Do you think marriage is an outdated ritual?
Nope.

17. Sopranos or Desperate Housewives?
I want to see Sopranos and I can stand Desperate Housewives.

18.What famous person would you like to have dinner with?
Does it just have to be one? Because I have a list…and it would probably scare some most people. The list includes Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, Maximilen Robespierre, Napoleon Bonaparte, Josef Stalin, Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great and Tony Stewart.

19. Have you ever crashed your vehicle?
It wasn’t mine and I was thirteen at the time.

20. Ever use a fire extinguisher for it’s intended purpose?
No.

21. Ring tone?
You want me to name them? Do I have to say who gets which ones? No? Good. Iron Man (), Ragdoll (Areosmith), My Sacrifice (Creed), Back in Black (AC DC), NCIS Theme Song, Life is a Highway (Rascal Flatts), Happy Endings (Mira), I Tried (Bone Thugs and Harmony), Hands Held High (Linkin Park), The Wizard and I (Wicked), I’m Not That Girl (Wicked), Defying Gravity (Wicked), For Good (Wicked), All Summer Long (Kid Rock), Baby Love (Nicole Scherzinger), Bleeding Love (Leona Lewis), Walk Through the Fire (Buffy The Vampire Slayer), I Got a Theory // Bunnies are Evil (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), The Best of Both Worlds (Miley Cyrus), Broken (Scott Stapp), Three Apocalyptica songs that I forget the titles to, Goodbye Love (Rent), The Road We’re On (3 Doors Down), Disturbia (Rihanna) – yes, I do have a ring tone addiction and no, I did not pay for each one separately…crap, I forgot my other phone.

22. Strangest place you have ever brushed your teeth?
I don’t think I’ve ever brushed them anywhere but in a bathroom or the orthodontists office.

23. Somewhere in California you’ve never been and would like to go?
I’ve never been to the entire state – but I won’t be able to say that next year.

23. Do you go to church?
Not really.

24. At this point in your life would you rather start a new career or a new relationship?
Well, seeing as I have four plus years of law school to go through, I think I’ll take new relationship for $2000.

25. How old are you?
We’re going to say 27 (shut up all of you saying my birthday isn’t for another nine days)

26. Do you have a go to person?
I do but I don’t. It’s really hard to explain.

27. Are you where you want to be in life?
Let’s see. Lawyer? Nope. Married? Nope. Kids? Nope. In a relationship? Nope. Reached level 33 in WOW? Nope. Finished bachelor’s degree? Yes. One of out six ain’t bad and I’m happy with that – just not where I want to be.

28. Growing up, what were your favorite cartoons?
Care Bears, Muppet Babies, Shirt Tales, Smurfs, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Tom and Jerry, Looney Toons, The Disney Gang, Grape Ape…I liked cartoons…

29. What about you do you think has changed the most?
I’m not as out going as I was eight years ago and I’m not as hyper active.

30. Looking back at high school were they the best years of your life?
Were they the best? No, but they were a hell of a lot of fun.

31. Are there times you still feel like a kid?
See my answer to question nine.

32. Did you ever own troll dolls?
Yes.

33. Did you have a pager?
I had a few different ones including a fuchsia one and a teal one.

34. Where was the hang out spot when you were a teenager?
Depends on which part of the teens. There was the YMCA in the early years and it was mainly over each others houses and driving around when we got older.

35. Were you the type of kid you would want your children to hang out with?
I don’t think I was that evil. Liz? Have a comment on this one.

WOW

July 23, 2009

Okay – it is seventeen days until my birthday. That is if I am counting correctly…or rather Psych/Monk are counting correctly since it’s sixteen days until both of their season premiers on August Seventh and my birthday is the eighth. Ohhh…that means G’s birthday is in sixteen days – which means I need to find a birthday card. And see if she wants to do dinner for our birthdays.

Anyways, I’m sitting here just thinking about how fast time seems to be moving while I wait for WOW to update. It’s funny, WOW takes forever to update but the days of my life just seem to fly on by. Can I be the WOW updater for awhile? Wait – it may be updated…oh no, another patch. Oh well. I can use the time to write to AC in France and come up with what character I want to create on WOW.

And I had a bunch of things I wanted to write about besides WOW and my birthday and they’ve slipped my mind. That’s what happens when I take the bupropion. Most people it makes hyper and wide awake; me it puts to sleep. Go figure. Of course, that’s why I take it at night now instead of during the day. It was bad when I was almost falling asleep at work. No want to fall asleep at work. Ugh. I’m speaking in baby talk – and G hasn’t had Nathan yet so I’m not even an aunt. Wait, I can say it’s practice. Yes, there we go. I will say this, I get completely random when I take the bupropion and I cannot focus on one thought most of the time. Sometime that without the medicine is almost impossible for me to do since I can usually focus on three or four different things at any given time. I’m thinking that it’s time to just go fall into a dream. Except WOW is downloading a third patch and I can’t leave the desktop on over night since it’ll overheat without the AC on and I’d like to turn the AC on in my bedroom. Blah…the dorotios and medicine are not sitting right.

I know, You know

July 15, 2009

Well, I’ve survived my first day of vacation. While I did want to get my WoW account set up again and create a new character, I didn’t get that far. It was my plan though. Instead we went to Wal-Mart and picked up the rest of my school supplies which really was just oversized index cards and pens. Last night I had found my five subject MEAD notebooks, folders to keep anything I print out, some pencils and highlighters. And yes, they had to be MEAD notebooks. I really cannot explain it except that’s what I used all through middle school and high school and my OCD forces me to use them now. At least I didn’t buy a trapper keeper! Not that I would want to lug that around when I have to work on school work somewhere other then home. Which, unless I take it to work, I guess I won’t have to worry about since I don’t go many places. Though who knows, maybe I’ll get a date this year! That’s a novel idea and one that I fully hope comes true.

Tomorrow afternoon we’re leaving for Lancaster. Yay! It’s a short trip but it should be fun and relaxing. And when we get home, I’m going to install WoW. And create my new character. But I digress. In the morning, I am going to get a pedicure and a manicure because I’m really just a girly girl sometimes. Yes, I’m not just a geek! I can be a girly girl too.

Ohhh – I got new suitcases. They totally go with the plaid phase I’m going through; and match my new plaid messenger bag. Both are black and white plaid with hints of red. :) Seems I’m going through some weird plaid accessory phase.

Both Monk and Psych come back the day before my birthday! I cannot wait for the new seasons to begin though I am sad that it’s Monk’s final season. I really am going to miss the show. But at least Psych is sticking around. Shawn and Gus goodness – and Lassie!

Workplace Comebacks

July 11, 2009

S sent me these last night. LOL. Too funny.

1. Obviously you’re unable to assimilate my stimulating concepts into your blighted and simplistic world-view.

2. I don’t know what your problem is, but I’ll bet it’s hard to pronounce.

3. Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.

4. I can see your point, but I still think you’re full of it.

5. I like you. You remind me of me when I was young and stupid.

6. What am I? Flypaper for freaks!?!?

7. I’m not being rude. You’re just insignificant.

8. I’ll give you a nice, shiny quarter if you’ll go away.

9. I’m already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.

10. I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.

11. It’s a thankless job, but I’ve got a lot of Karma to burn off.

12. Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.

13. How about never? Is never good for you?

14. I’m really easy to get along with once you people learn to worship me.

15. You sound reasonable. It must be time to up my medication.

16. You’re just jealous because the little voices talk to ME.

17. I’ll try being nicer if you’ll try being smarter.

18. I’m out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message…

19. I don’t work here. I’m a consultant.

20. Who me? I just wander from room to room.

Faraway

July 10, 2009

I may have to cave in and get WOW again. I missed playing it. And you wouldn’t think I would; I’ve gone almost ten months without playing it. But it’s not like I can sit here and count or anything. Of course, before I can do that, I have to do some serious cleaning up of my desktop. I haven’t really used it much in the past few months and it’s a bit sluggish. Of course, I would be too if I’ve just been sitting around collecting dust. So I’m sitting here writing this on it while I uninstall all the Sim2 games and update important things – like the os and the anti-virus. Though I’m not entirely sure why I’m updating McAfee since I’m a) going to wipe the PC and b) going to install Avast. But update it I am. And one of these days, I will get WOW again and start over from the beginning because that’s just the weirdo that I am.

And I never realized exactly how weird it is to sit here on a desktop. It’s not like I don’t use a desktop every day at work but there’s just something different about being on my own. Even if it is super sluggish and full of shit I don’t actually use or need any more. Could be the fact that I can sit here and sing along to my iPod and just be generally silly. Or maybe it’s the fact that my main hard drive on this only has 40 gigs – and even my notebook has a biggest hard drive then that. Though I did realize that I have a 300 gig hard drive partitioned into two drives; and an external drive that’s 250 gigs set up too so that’s almost 600 gigs combined. Still. I need to get rid of a lot of stuff.

Okay – enough of the computer geek talk. I want to go play with the new sock loom I just got to see if I can figure out how to start a pair of socks. And we can all laugh at Jenn later – when she’s all tangled up in yarn and cursing the damn thing ten ways to Sunday. But the thought of using more then two knitting needles; let alone two double sided needles; has be running away in fear. And that is why I will not try knitting a pair of socks on needles.

Blah

July 9, 2009

I hate it when I do something stupid. And dropping the pizza on the floor tonight before I got to eat it was stupid. And very, very annoying. Yes, it was frozen pizza but I really did not feel like cooking tonight. And I really wanted that damn pizza.

My plan tonight was to work on some webpages and maybe play a game or two. Instead, I found The Princess Diaries on Starz OnDemand and so I’m watching that instead.

Random scribbles

July 6, 2009

I am proud of myself. In only twenty minutes online, I’ve managed to purge a few names from my livejournal account, checked up on my farmtown and my Evony city and checked the weather for tomorrow. If I’m not out too late tonight, I do want to go through some more people on my friends list on lj and get rid of those I really don’t wantneed anymore.

And now I have to go. Therapy in a few minutes and then dinner with G.

Never gonna be alone

July 5, 2009

Meet Madison Taylor; also known as Madi, Satan’s spawn, devil child, brat cat, cuddle bug and probably a few that I’ve missed.

Madi is a three year old Calico. She’s very vocal, loves to chase shadows and enjoys knocking things off of tables, chairs, dressers…actually, just about anything. She also likes to cuddle and lick necks.

Photobucket

I adopted Madi three years ago this coming August from the SPCA. At the time, she was three or four months old. They really didn’t know. When I was looking at the different cats, she was the only one being overlooked. This might have something to do with the fact that she was sitting in the back corner of the cat with her back pressed against the wall. Not only did I feel bad that she was sitting in the corner all alone, but I fell in love with her colors. Driving home from the SPCA, she put her little paw through the hole in the box and gripped my finger.

For the first two weeks that she lived here, she cowered under beds and tables; only coming out to eat and drink. When she would eat, she would eat the entire bowl and make herself sick. The vet felt that she had been abused in the home that she was before. That included hitting, screaming, and food being withheld. After about two weeks, she started coming to us and eventually she became very loving.

She still hides from loud noises; any loud noise; refuses to eat canned cat food, and if you move too fast or raise your hand, she runs and hides. But she also likes to cuddle, has stolen both of my Tony Stewart fleeces and the afghan my mom made me when I was little and demands attention. She also has a schedule in the morning and if you vary from that schedule, she lets you know she’s unhappy. She loves the summer because the sun is up longer and that means more shadows to chase. In the winter she loves to push her way under my covers. This wouldn’t be so bad if she didn’t lie in the middle of my chest and not let me have any of the covers.

She also likes my Eiffel Tower lamps and will climb up in them and try to eat the light bulbs.
