Gah, it's so cold outside, and I have nothing to really do here at the office save for answering phones. No schools are coming in, mostly cause they get out this week and have already been out of school for a day. Today is both my Monday and my Friday, and I am extremely sleepy. I am so happy that the semester is over and I don't have worry about read text book and taking notes.

Cody and Steven Randomly showed up last night to kidnap me which didn't go very smoothly:P. Because he has a front wheel drive Jetta we had a hell of a time trying to get him turned around and out of my long driveway. It took all three of us half an hour of pushing and digging to get us out of the drive. It was very hilarious watching two Virgos try to logic their way out of the snow. " if we dig this way and this little patch of snow then we will be able to slip in such a way that we will be able to get out" much much fun to watch :P. After our little adventure we went to Cody's house and watched an amazingly funny anime, I'm not sure what ti title of it is but it's like FLCL and openly makes fun of anime culture in general.
IT was amazing to see Cody again and I truly hope that we will get many more chances to hang out over his break.

Well it's official, early January I am moving out of my parents house and in with Steven and his friend AJ. We got an amazing deal on the house cause it's one of Aj's friends'. It's a 5 bedroom and we only have to pay a total of $1000 a month, split between three people it's only $333 per month ^_^. I can't believe that I'll be away from my parents finally.

Anyways that's what is going on in my life as to date.

Well hello to the people that I have lost contact with. :P I'm terrible with trying to keep up with people.


A lot has happened in my life, ^_^ a lot of wonderful things. First off I turned 21 last month, it was really awesome, cause Steven treated me to a train ride to Reno where he hung out for a few days. The train ride was so beautiful, just absolutely astounding, but I guess that's what you get when the train is known for it's route. We took the Zephyr, which runs from LA to Chicago, and I find it quite funny that some of the people on the train were complaining that is was going really slowly even thought it's been advertised as a site seeing Train.

Steven and I are still going great, we are coming up on our 2 and a half year mark in a few days. :P My big goal for the next month or so, is to get my permit so I can start driving, and to move out with Steven. So far things have been good on both those notes. I'm taking over for Cassy at the food bank, and it's so lucky, it's a wonderful job. Steven is still working at Staples, and it's gotten kinda hectic since they fired most of the front end. So if anyone needs a job, Staples is hiring.

School is going great, even though I'm finally getting a little taste of the work load. I'm taking 12 units but they are all classes with heavy reading loads. I'll get used to it, but it's a little tough at the moment. And for that very same reason I'm not doing Nanowrimo this time around, maybe next year I'll be a little more used to this setup.

So in recap, life is good, and everything is going fine even if it's a bit crazy.

    I'm back, now that I have some time to post.

    My legs hurt so much from walking everywhere yesterday doing cosplay stuff. Oh I can! not! wait! till fanime and this year I'm actually going to have a Cosplay to do. YAY! :P

    Yesterday after walking home from Kristin's Dads house, I decided that I needed to go into the longs and Ben Franklin area for some stuff and to take Steve some lunch but because I don't drive I would be walking and taking the bus around, not to bad and better for myself and the environment. I was going to walk down the hill and take a buss into town but my dad had to go to work so I at lease got a ride there, but after that it was on me to get myself home.

    I walked to longs, got some of the stuff I needed, a hair straightener and some hair spiking stuff ( to work with Steven's hair for his Ichigo costume). Then I headed to Sam's to get a wig head cause it was just about the only place I could think of having one and behind the counter they had the dye I was going to have to go to down town grass valley to get, so that was totally awesome.

    Sadly since I'm not the type to mull around when shopping I was done an hour and a half before I was     going to get lunch for Steven and myself. So I walked over to Ben Franklin to find out if they had some stencils for painting, but of course they only had like four. I'll just have to make my own for painting my dresser any idea's for awesome designs are totally welcome.

    I walked around Ben Franklin killing time till I remembered a necklace idea using buttons that I wanted to try and headed to the sewing area. I spent the remaining time there digging through the button chest thing trying to find awesome button. when the time had come for me to leave I bought the buttons and I headed back over to the Longs area and to get the sandwiches and then wandered back over to Staples.
I had to go inside to find Steven and ran into Nation and AJ. We talked a bit while I waited for Steven to be done with his work. Steven and I ended up eating our lunch on the bench outside of Staples and talked a bit about the plan for cosplay and fanime in general.

    When Steven had to go back to work the allergy medicine that I took at Kristin's grogginess kicked in I thought that I would remedy it with some coffee from Starbuck, and since I was heading down to the Albertsons (Save Mart, whatever you call it) I would get some there. I walk all the way there and the stupid thing is closed down. Alright, I do admit that it's a good thing cause we don't need more then one Starbucks in an area, but damn it I wanted my coffee.

    I walked back to the buss stop and waited a little, but because it was Directly! in the sun I walked across the street and cause the buss that was there. I road the bus down to grass valley and back up to Nevada City, and since I still wanted a coffee I walked to Mekka to get a Screaming Banshee, one of my most favorite drinks. It was so good! So much better then anything i could have gotten at starbucks for sure. Then I started the little trek up the hill to my house.

TOO Much Walking ^_^.

So far today My plans are:
take a shower and then clean the kitchen. Happy Summer to all!

The weather is said to start getting all wintery on Thursday and it sure looked like to today, which is awesome since I love the cold weather, especially when I'm snuggled under my 8 comforters ( I like the feeling of the weight on me). I was going to remove two of the comforters yesterday, but that's before I found out why my room wasn't as cold as it usually is. A wile ago I moved my bed around because I had a horrible ant problem keeping it by the window ( I think I won the battle of the ants.... but I have no I idea if they are regrouping and getting ready for the attack, I feel like I'm in god d--n 300, me against a million ants and every time I kill a huge mass there is a million more to take their place *shutters* anyways) but that leaves the sun shining right in my eyes in the morning, not something I like but it's better then ants. Because of the sun I had my curtains down. Well I cleaned off my couch to sit and read, but I closed the window because I was a little cold laying under it and I forgot about it. I ended up having my heating vent unclosed and a window closed. Thankfully with that fixed I can keep all my blankest on my bed (yay).

I should just foot note all of my little side comments, like Terry Pratchett. Hmm, I will think on this.

On to what I really came here to write about.

Last night Steven and I finally got off out asses and decided it was about time that we watch Torchwood so we downloaded the first two episodes. The opening is awesome, even as how short it is. The show is awesome though, lets just say that I woke my mom up because I was giggling too loudly. The second episode was totally epic, in a really "wow I can't believe they did this for the second episode". It's nothing like doctor who except the fact that they are all very British ( well I guess all except Cap'n Jack, he is very much him own... person) and stand around and gawk at the weird things going down. It's really awkward going from doctor who, which is family friendly, so the very VERY not so family friendly Torchwood, I really can't wait to see some more.
Today, like I said, was very dreary and cold. Nothing very exciting happens except I got to use my new backpack that fits my computer. Previously when taking my computer to school I would stick it in my shoulder bag with my binder of class work, this would end in me almost dislocating my shoulder, not good. So I bought a pack that would fit my lappy ( when I was asking my mom if I could get a pack for my computer to take to school she though I was talking about the desktop that I was buying parts for, and much hilarity ensued) so that I could take my computer to school without it taking off my arm with it. In English our teacher went over the prince, even though she said that we had to finish our reading by Thursday and Othello by this class. We watched more of the Othello movie, which made this day a good day. At lunch the stupid high school Gihoty(what ever) kids were EVERYWHERE! They are so disrespectful and are breaking the BRAND NEW! chairs in the lounge, I'm thinking of making a petition and getting it signed saying that us older college kids get the lounge to ourselves and they can have the cafeteria for their lunches. Stupid f---ing high schoolers. when I got home after math, I took a nap from 5:30 to 8, cause that's just my style. that's pretty much it for today, just talking to Steven online and stumbling around the interwebs.

location: my bed side table ( oh I bet you didn't expect that) mood: peaceful

Over the weekends I wont be posting much, cause Steven is over most of the time. I had an alright weekend though, nothing much happened.
I finally finished Othello, I'm thankful for that. I love Shakespeare... but not when I'm just reading his plays by myself. I love watching the plays and hearing what he is writing... but I don 't think that I want to read anymore of his plays. The only way I would is if I'm actually in one of those plays. Luckily, The next play we are reading is a comedy (rejoices). The mandragola, it has to do with the normal, I want woman, I can't get woman and I do stuff to get woman, at least that was how it seemed when I read the quick overview. We just got our First essay prompt and have a month to write it, it's a compare and contrast easy based around what is linked to the platonic pursuit in the plays that we have been reading.

I always used to have the hardest time with writing essay when I was in high school, I guess someone just didn't explain to me what exactly I should be going about the whole thing, but in college I haven't had any big trouble, it's awesome. I seriously think that high school was a waist of time for me, what I learning and how they go about teaching in college makes so much more sense to me.

So my computer parts came in, well most of them, I'm still waiting on my case and my media board. I can't wait ^_^.

Okay so this is what happened over the weekend.

Thursday in English we are watching the Movie Othello directed by the guy who does the master peace theater on PBS. From what I just said it make the movie sound like it would be some stuff old Englishmen who act out everything to a T. But when the movie started out I heard a very familiar voice... and then out of F---ing no where Christopher Eccleston pops on screen. I just about screamed, I love his acting and have a huge crush on him as the doctor from Doctor Who, I had to hold back turning to Daniel and yelling "Thats the invisible guy form Heroes!!!!!!" cause I was in English class. It got so bad later when he turns to the camera and says in his awesome English accent "Do ya like sex?", hearing that from any character just hurts my head. Holding back my fan-girly want to squeal and giggle is so hard. I waited till after English to freak out and squeal about how awesome he is as a bad guy and how hard it is to keep my self from giggling to Daniel, I hope she wasn't frightened by my crazed fan-girl babbling, it may have been too much too soon. I promised Daniel that I wouldn't go home and watch the movie that weekend and to wait until we watch it all in class. :P

I didn't have a math class so I went home so I didn't have to wait at school until my next class at 6:30. During that time I found out that they are making an Arrested Development movie. I love the show so very much and was sad/glad when it ended, mostly because they didn't string it out so long that it would cross over into the just let it die category that some many show have crossed into. I can honestly say that the directing and the writing for the show is some of the best I have seen. That being said, it is the only TV show that I actually own( my parent are the ones that own Heroes).

Friday
I sat around all day with Steven watching Arrested Development.

Saturday
Steven and I walked to SPD to get stuff to make chocolate moose. Ran into Shawn at the buss stop and talked I bit about stuff. After I was done making the moose we went to sushi q and had an awesome time, apparently Steven and I are some of their best customers, and it's always nice when we come in. ^_^

Sunday and today was pretty much just getting homework done.

I just got done reading the second and third acts in Othello, which I had no idea what was about until I read most of the play, all I think of when I hear the name Othello is some kind of board game that I haven't played nor have any idea what the rules are. I don't think I have ever read as much as I have in my English 2b (lol to be.... I get it, that's why we started out with Hamlet [Damn that stupid play]). I've read a total of 1 novel and 2 plays in a total of three weeks. I hope I really don't have to take any more English classes.... but sadly I feel others in my future.

It's not that I don't like reading, that isn't the case at all I love reading so very much, I just don't like being rushed. I finally read Enders Game back in December. I had put it off and was finally forced into reading it to keep my sanity the day the power was out for hours. I finished the book about the time that the power came back on. I can honestly say that if I read that book back in high school then I would have hated it, it was much to much like the other kinds of books that we were told to read, but since I waited the time I did I was able to give it a fair chance. It wasn't a bad book and it was rather entertaining, just not really my kind of book, I'm just not a Scifi nut.

Today wasn't anything speatial, I talked with steven over the net until he had to go to work. I had a bowl of Cheerios for lunch/breakfast, and talked to my mom while going though come of her cook books looking at awesome cookie resipies. My mom was telling me about how she used to like down south and how amazingly seriotipicl it was. I think out of all the placed that I want to travel when I'm older I hope to god I'm never suck anywhere in the "deep south" I think I would go mad.
After I was done with my Cheerios I started fidgeting around with my camera and take a few ( lol about 40) Pictures of a bell and my red pearl necklace I'll fix them up and sick them on the web. I had them set up on my windowsill, the one that faces my uncles house. I just hope that he doesn't think that I was taking pictures of him or something crazy like that. *Shakes head* I swear, There has been a lot of problems with my crazy Uncle and how he is managing my grandma's estate, My mom is in the processes of fixing that right now. It has caused so much stress over the past few months, hopefully everything works for the best.

After that, since I wasn't feeling that well, I took a really long nap. That is until I got an email that woke me up. It was Daniell telling me what homework I had since I missed English Tuesday. I read what I had to and that has brought us up to now.

Oh I don't know if I posted this already but a few days ago I went for lunch at Dos Banditos and had the best chimichanga of my life. Oh it was so good, I still have cravings for it :P.

Hay guess what... I'm still alive... and making a real post.

Okay lets wee if I can recap what has been up with me for the past.... year maybe.

So, I started College and am still taking lots of classes. I though that I had found what I wanted to be when I grew up (Like that is actually going to happen :P) but I took a psychology class and so far I'm totally in love with what we are learning and talking about. The more I take of that class the more I think that maybe that is what I really want to do with my life. I have made an agreement with myself that if I absolutely hate Chemistry then I'll change my major and my goals. That or if I am totally sure that I want to go into counseling then I'll change my major.
I took a really awful field class last semester, but during that class I got over my panic attack wile camping habit, which those of you who have seen it knows how bad it was. All we did on this feild study class is go to the horrible bum f---- town in Shasta and look at how horrible everything was. It was really horrible.

My camera, that I have had since I was back in middle school, finally died at fanime. It was a very sad loss and I morned it for untill I got my new SO MUCH MORE AWESOME camera. It's a SRL Like Fuji film and it's amazing. It takes raw images, has a histogram option and tons of other stuff that I could only dream about when I was useing my other camera. The only downfalls are that I have to get used to useing this camera and mess around with it a bit more to be able to use it like it should and that I have to get a new computer because my little old Lappy can't handle the new Photoshop or working with raw images. I'm ordering the new parts tomorrow and should have a BRAND NEW AWESOME COMPUTER withing the new few weeks. With this computer I will acutally be able to play some games that are higher graphics then the old Half Life ( Which I love so very very much, Gordon Freeman is so F---ing Gar If I was a man I would have his babies.)

I'm not working, though I school try getting a job soonish, cause I want to move out with Steven sometime soonish ( though I'm not sure if I should wait till the end of the semester till I do the move, but my time living with my parents is running out). I did get a job and work At Sierra Manor last year, that only taught my two things, That I hate Tiffanies and that I NEVER EVER want to work with old people again. I still dream about working there and I still wake up in a cold sweat. Lets just say that I hope to never have a job as bad as that ever again.

My love life has had it's ups and downs as time has gone on, but that is to be expected. Throughout the year I have been on the verge of breaking up with Steven quite a few times, but we have survived and still love each other quite a bit. Nation even asked Steven the other day if he was going to propose to me... we each think the same thing, we have the rest of our lives to get married we don't have any need to rush into anything right now.

I need to get out and make a few new friends, all the ones that I used to hang out with have either ditched me or moved away. I still have a few old friends like Kristin and KK and they are usually busy. I have a few friend from Steven's group, but all of them are guys and I just need some female moments here and there. Ugh, I really need a shopping trip or something :p.

I have been baking and cooking a lot more then I used to, I guess it's cause I have a lot more free time on my hands. Cookies are my favorite, and I need to stop making them cause all I do it eat them and then get a little more over weight. I need to start going to the gym more, I just need to feel better (I have a cold, which is what happens when I decide that I want to start working out more). Oh and I before I started this semester I started reading some Diskworld Books, and I totally can't wait until I'm done with English 1b to start reading what I want to read again.


Well So that is what is going on in my life right now and has been going on. I'll try to keep up on Bloging more often.

lol I love these things.

( Funny Xmas meme )

OH NO!!!! NOT MYSPACE!!!!!

An Awesome AMV that Steven found to cheer me up.

I NEED TO SEE ENTER THE HAGGIS!!!

They are going to be playing in Las Vegas at this awesome Ren fair... I can get there by bus so that something good... but I can't find a hotel anywhere close enough to walk :( and that is something very bad. Anything that is anywhere within walking distance is like mega costly and it makes me so sad. Oh well there is a few months till the Fair and there is still time to work things out. They have a little Pirate ship and everything.

That video is so awesome it's inspired me to do something a little similar. Watching the making of the video I saw that the band was just running around doing random shit and putting it in reverse made it look amazing. Fuf is up for the week and I would love to get as many people as I can together at pioneer park Thursday to film, with my camera and with Kristin's if she can come with it, us running around and jumping off of things. Then I will take the video and reverse it and watch the awesome that is. All can come and the more the merrier. I'll have more info about things in the next few days but please comment if interested.

<Unspawny> The ultimate game would be a game sorta like The Sims.
<Unspawny> Except it would be called 'Angst'.
<Unspawny> And you would see how many angsty people you can befriend, screw over, and then befriend again.
<frog> you just described Livejournal: The Game



yeah Livejournal...... you fail.

1 - Tell you why I friended you.
2 - Associate you with a song/film/tv show.
3 - Tell a random fact about you.
4 - Tell a first memory about you.
5 - Associate you with a character/pairing.
6 - Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
7 - Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
8 - In retort, you must spread this disease in your LJ.

well I finally got my wisdom teeth out, thank god. Though I'm in a bunch of pain, and can't eat solid food, I won't have them bothering me like they were; and hay, I get all the ice cream and pudding I could ever dream of. ^_^ I hope all of you are faring well in your lives. I'm feeling pretty good, I have gotten used to going to school again, so college isn't as bad as it was, I got the stuff I did in English back and it's nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. Steven and I are still going great, I could not have fallen in love with a better guy. Life is a dream you know, it's never ending.

Though I love the snow, I do not love being stuck at my dad's work because our car can't make it up hills. The snow is coming down in huge chucks and it doesn't look like it will lighten up anytime soon, so until my dad and I can find a ride home fast, we might be stuck here all night. at least I have my computer. I love laptops. ^_^

Anybody under the age of 13 should not read this, and if you do, you should not repost this.

Just because you were born in '97 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid.

It's not like you could remember the original Simpsons. I am sorry but three conscious years of the 90's just wont cut it.

You're a 90's kid if:

You can finish this [ice ice _ _ _ _ ] Baby!

You remember watching Doug, Ren & Stimpy, Pinky and the Brain.  I hated Doug, freaked people out with the fact that I watched ren and stimpy and I loved Pinky and the Brain... NARF!

You just cant resist finishing this . . . "Iiiiiiin west philidelphia born and raised . . ."

You remember TGIF, Step by Step, Family Matters, Dinosaurs, and Boy Meets World. I hated most of those show... though I watched Dinosaurs when I happened to catch it on TV.

You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons.  Oh fuck yeah. That was the shit.

You got super excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.  It was like one of the only games that I had on my Mac... how could I not remember it... It's all about shooting the buffalo but not being able to carry it all back to the wagon... that and trying to ford the river.

You remember reading "Goosebumps"

There were also those three stick things where you would hold two of the sticks and fling the third one( which two ends had these leather strips for decoration rapped around them) around and another was the Diablo things with the two sticks tied together with string and you would use that to toss a wiring top of doom around.

You remember those Where's Waldo books.

You remember eating Warheads.  I totally forgot about those * goes to get some*

You remember watching the 1st Batman, Aladdin, Ninja Turtles, and 3 Ninjas movies.

. . . Furbies.   Though my parents didn't get me a lot of things they did, however, get me a furby.... and my dad traumatized it so much that when my dad walked in the room it would cry... I thought that was wonderfully funny.

You haven't always had a computer, and it was cool to have the internet. Totally. I remember having to go over to my uncles to play gun shy.... though I don't think any of you would know that game.

And Windows 95 was the best.

You watched the original cartoons of Rugrats, Power Rangers, and Ninja Turtles.

All your school supplies were "Lisa Frank" brand. I had very few of that stuff, cause my mom didn't get it for me.

You remember when the new Beanie Babies and Talking Elmo were always sold out.  

You collected those Beanie Babies. I used to clean my room to get my allowance so I could waste it on those things.

Carebears .... Stair!

Gak was the coolest stuff invented.  I wish I got some of that stuff too... but alas my parents wouldn't get it for me.

Lambchop's song never ended.  And it never will because it's the song that never ends it just goes on and on my friend someone started singing it not knowing what it was and they'll continue singing it forever just because it's the song that never ends it just goes on and on my friend someone started singing it not knowing what it was and they'll continue singing it forever just because.......

Before the MySpace frenzy . . .

Before the Internet & text messaging . . .

Before Sidekicks & iPods . . .

Before MIKE JONES . . .

Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX . . .

Before Spongebob . . .

Back when you put off the 5 hours of homework you had every night.

When light up sneakers were cool.  Light Brights dude!

When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.

When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing.

When we recorded stuff on VCRs.

When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off of our walkman.

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear.

Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!!

I never realized I was such a bloody nineties child!
