My Daemon!

Not In A Great Mood!

So I'm not exactly in the best of moods but I thought I'd write anyway. I did watch Torchwood last night because Comcast has a sneak peek of it on On Demand. I swear I should get paid every time I mention On Demand since I tend to do that a lot. I may not have DirectTV but at least I still have Anime Network and Anime Selects on On Demand. They have thirty-five minutes of the first episode but I'm a little confused about Jack. When we first met him it seemed like he was from the future but in the episode they said that he disappeared in 1941. Huh? Am I missing something here or am I just a total idiot? I thought they'd tell us how he got back after getting stuck in future with the Daleks when Rose and the Doctor left him. But no they make no mention of that at all so I was left wondering how he wound up in the 21st century. Maybe those questions are answered later on.

Also if you're a fan of HIMYM they have a little clip about Lily and Marshall's honeymoon in Scotland. It's the first of four and I think it won't be aired anywhere else. It is Lily and Marshal doing a video from their hotel room. It doesn't seem like it will be on the show but who knows because I sure don't. I'm looking forward to that show starting up again. I never thought I'd end up watching so many shows on CBS but after that network that I refuse to name pretty much killed any show I ended up liking I don't watch much on there only Supernatural and Smallville and nothing else. I'm sure by the names of the shows you can figure out the network I'm referring to. They may have changed the name of the station but they seem to be the same to me after all they killed Veronica Mars.

I am looking forward to the new vampire show Moonlight I think it's called. I do find it odd that a vampire would be sleeping in a freezer. Why a freezer? That just doesn't make sense. At least the vampire wouldn't go poof if someone accidentally opened it in the sunlight since he'd be frozen. So he has to thaw each night he wakes up. That just doesn't make any sense to me but it's cool that Jason from Veronica Mars is on it so that in itself is incentive to check it out. Also there's that spin off of Grey's Anatomy to check out so there should be at least a few new shows worth checking out.

I don't get TV Guide so I have no idea about any new shows unless they've been advertised on TV. I could always check online but I'm just not in the mood right now. I could check out the TV Guide station or whatever the hell it's called since they could have a show about the different shows which they've done before unless I was hallucinating that. I'm just blanking out what the number is. I don't think I've watched that station since the switch back to Comcast. I'm torn because it would be ideal to have DirectTV obviously so I can continue to watch Passions but I also love getting Anime Selects and Anime Network but sadly I can't get both. Oh where's Endora when I need her. She'd fix things for me.

An Answer Of Sorts!

Breakfast isn't like that for me although I wish it were except I'd rather be all alone with Spike. Hey like I'm the only one thinking the same thing. I'm just lucky if I don't spill anything. At least I have the sense to not bring a bowl of cereal with milk already poured in down the stairs because that is just a recipe for disaster. I should get pancake advice from Tara since every time I've tried to make them lately they just haven't worked out right. Oh where are the dummy proof pancakes. Sure I could get the ones from the freezer section that are already made but I want to add chocolate chips to them and I'm not sure if they come in chocolate chip although they do in waffles.

It is so annoying to try to ask a question only to get a form letter back with no sign of the answer anywhere in sight. Is it so difficult to answer a question nowadays that you have to send a form letter in the email in the hopes that the person will stop pestering you. I once again wrote to Wamu because it just didn't seem like this was for real after all opening a checking account with a buck just seems like a typo at least it did to me. It turns out that it is true but the rest of the question wasn't addressed.

Sure that's great and it would be handy since I have payments that only go through PayPal that are on hold at least I hope so because I hope nothing was sent to the thieving bank that is Wells Fargo so I need an account and the sooner the better. I also wanted to know if there was a certain amount that you had to have in the account at all times. That is the part that Wells Fargo lied about because I was told there wasn't but they ended up stealing the money in the account and telling me it was closed. So I don't have warm and fuzzy feelings when it comes to them and suggest that people don't bank there because who wants to bank at a place that lies and doesn't give a shit about a customer. Maybe if I had big bucks or something they would have treated me better but that shouldn't matter.

Now the plan is to go there in person and try to find that out once and for all before I open the account because I need a place because there are too many places out there that only pay through PayPal instead of sending the check to your home. I'm not saying that PayPal sucks because it doesn't but when you don't have the account it does especially if you have a check that you have no way of getting or even if the place sent it because when I asked I wasn't given an answer. When did people stop answering questions? Ok I get that this place only pays through PayPal but I would still like a simple question answered about what was done with the payment. I just hope it wasn't sent to Wells Fargo because I don't want them stealing any more money from me and that's what I call it because that's what it was. They lied and I got screwed over.

The Prey by Allison Brennan

Don't Forget To Check!

It was Tuesday which means Big Brother was on but I decided to also watch Power Of 10 or whatever the hell it's called that was on first. I was surprised that Amber beat Danielle. As Dick said Amber isn't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer. I was wondering if all those times she would what a word means were some strategy appeared not to be the case because she did it again with Drew. I guess you have to admire the fact that she's willing to admit that she doesn't know what a word means when I'm sure a lot of us wouldn't bother for fear of looking stupid. It just seems odd because the words aren't uber hard. She didn't last long so I didn't watch the whole thing.

I just don't really like game shows and I didn't like this one either. It was kind of dull and made me wonder why in the world it is an hour long since it might be better if it was a half hour. That was a surprise about the question about women in combat. I thought the double standards would coming shining through but the percentage of people that thought women shouldn't fight was pretty low. It was like 18 or 16%. It was just odd because I would imagine a parent wouldn't be thrilled to have their son or daughter fight. Sure they'd support their decision but would a parent really want even a son to fight with the very real chance that they could come home in a box?

Right before I turned the TV off the new contestant came on and the poor thing didn't get a quick check before he went on the stage because he raised his arms and there for all the world to see were these huge pit stains. If you ever go on a game show make sure to check for that before you go on the stage and if you have them keep the arms down because is that really what you want to be remembered for the guy in the pink shirt with the pit stains. Where was wardrobe? Sure people sweat due to being nervous but come on if you know you sweat keep your arms down. I know I wouldn't want to show pit stains when I raised my arms. Hello can you say extra strength deodorant.

I was going to try a new workout today and did start it because I was fooled by the description that said easy to follow. If that was easy to follow I shudder to think what they consider hard. I was ok for a little bit but it just got too confusing so I stopped it and went with Tae Bo. So I yell right back at him although I keep considering the possibility of turning the volume down when doing it. It is less confusing but it's pretty tricky to do knee lifts from the side. I managed to make it all the way through and I'm thinking I really will turn the volume down.

I keep meaning to do that but I should get a thumbs up for still doing it. There's a little section at the beginning that gives you a few of the punches and I think the guy in it is scared off because I don't see him when the real workout I guess you'd call it begins. It's not like I've looked for him but I don't think he's there. I don't blame him because that guy is kinda scary. What would make him even more so if he were to dress up like a clown like Pennywise for instance because that is one scary ass clown.

I'm just glad that I didn't have any bizarro dreams last night at least not that I can remember. I could do without a dream that has someone hanging. I guess what would be worse if I were being burned alive. I would think that tops the list of worst ways to die. I've burned myself but it was only like a finger and not something major and that has hurt so I couldn't even begin to imagine the pain involved that comes with burns that cover more of the body. Also they take such a long time to heal and I'm just talking about a little burn on a finger. I think I'd rather drown than burn alive since it would probably be quicker.

Random Musings

I had such a strange dream last night. I don't remember all of it but Giles was in it and he hung himself. That's about the it of it at least that I can remember. I don't know I would be dreaming that and it was at his place too which doesn't exist anymore what with the whole town turning into a big landfill. I doubt if I'd be able to figure out if it means something in a book not that I'm going to bother look. Sometimes you just have odd dreams and this would be one of them.

Once again I wished for a smack button on the remote. I guess part of the reason that I'm actually watching The Hills could be for a few reasons like Hollyoaks not being on at that time anymore. They used to air at 8 and again at 8:30 but the episode before was from the day before which was handy if you missed one. They also aired all five episodes each Saturday but they changed that. Now it is on at 1 in the morning which is fine because I know how to record but if I forget to change the station it won't record it and there's no way to catch that episode which sucks. I don't know why they did that.

The person that I wanted to smack was Heidi. I also watched the After Show so try to refrain from calling me a total dork or loser please. She said it was nice that Lauren showed some compassion for her or something like that and I just wanted to slap her. She has been like an ice queen as far as things go regarding the breakup between her and Lauren. It doesn't seem to affect her not that I can tell. She doesn't even want to talk about her and Heidi is the one to blame. A friendship is a two way thing not one way and blowing up your so called best friend repeatedly ends in the friendship ending.

Of course a person is going to be upset that a friendship ends especially when it was a best friend. The only chance they have of getting it back is with Spencer out of the picture. I just don't see what she sees in the guy. It sounds like this is typical Heidi behavior to get so involved with a guy that she cuts everyone else out of her life. Hello the guy shouldn't be telling you who you can be friends with anyway? If Spencer was a half way decent guy who really loved Heidi as much as he claims he would try to have them patch things up but he loves the rift between them.

He's the one that wants Heidi to himself and so far its worked. I wanted to smack him. I wonder if Heidi is in denial because there is no way that her family in Mount Butt or whatever loves him. Maybe the lied to make her feel better but they had to see what everyone else sees a complete and total jerk. It won't last. Sure they might end up getting married but this won't be a happily ever after thing. I'd be pretty surprised if it was. So it looks like Brody is going to be broken up with next.

I just feel that putting the best with the word friend is almost like a curse or a recipe for disaster because you hear about the best friend doing something shitty like on talk shows where the best friend slept with the boyfriend or girlfriend. It makes a person wonder if they are becoming extinct. It would be nice to have the same best friend for years but it always seems to end and usually it is over something really stupid and the other person just isn't willing to own up to it and you can't do it all by yourself.

Lauren is coming to realize that the friendship is over and it hurts so she cried which is totally understandable because it sucks especially when it didn't have to happen. Sure I could honestly say that a part of me would want to try to work things out with a past best friend but I know that's not going to happen because I don't think it's even possible at this point especially when this person doesn't take responsibility for what she did that caused things to turn sour. Best friends should be able to survive crappy boyfriends but in this case it didn't. Didn't Heidi see the part of the show where he came right out and said that he wanted to keep Heidi away from Lauren? Shouldn't that have clued her in to the sitch?

I guess this is a case of love being blind and perhaps a bit stupid. What's the point of calling someone a best friend if you aren't even willing to hear what they have to say about the person you're dating? Sure your friend might start dating a guy you don't like but that doesn't mean the friendship has to end because of it. The least Spencer could do is be civil and maybe he'd grow up and turn into a better person and not as hateable as he is now but he was like a two year old when he was whining about Lauren wanting Heidi all to herself when it was actually himself he was talking about. He just wants to turn people against Lauren because she was the only one that was willing to speak up about what she really thought about Spencer.

Maybe things would have been different if more people told Heidi what a total dick he is. Maybe it wouldn't have but you really have to think if someone is telling you what a jerk your boyfriend is especially someone who is supposed to be your best friend. Well now she's all alone just where Spencer wants her and things are going to end and who will she be able to turn to then because she will have no one and she would have no one but herself to blame for it too. I guess I really identify with Lauren since I was in a similar sitch. It sucks but sometimes you have to let the person because you can do nothing when they aren't willing to make an effort to get the relationship back on track.

Snail Mail!

Yes even with computers and all the gadgets the eliminate the need for snail mail I still like snail mail. It's good to get something in the mail that you can touch. Get your mind out of the gutter because I'm not talking about something dirty here. Isn't it better to get a letter from a friend than junk mail or a bill? It is a good way to reach out to other people and depending on your personal preferences you can connect with other people in many parts of the world. Unfortunately the price of the stamp keeps creeping up and up which could limit a person on locations like out of the US because the price is too high.

A way of course to keep the cost of mailing the letter down would be to type the letter which is fine. The problem I have is people that decide to go the form letter route. It's like they are collecting pen pals like a person collects fairies or you can just fill in the blank with whatever you happen to collect. I don't get people like that because I want to actually write to a person and have them actually reply back to me not to a group at large. So I'm not one to have a bunch of people because it is just ridiculous and it seems like the people that do it just want to be able to brag about having friends in the hundreds. Are they really your friends?

It's not always an easy thing because people stop writing to you but you have to keep trying because you can get lucky and meet someone really cool. It's a good thing if you tend to be cut off from people due to depression or if you are agoraphobic because that can make things a bit hard when it comes to making friends but anyone could have a pen pal. Some people even eventually meet them.

So you have to be patient and there are places out there but to be honest The Witches' Voice really hasn't worked out too well for me. I guess it has to do with the fact that it covers all fifty states and there are just so many ads that it is easy for your ad to get lost among the others. I've had an ad up for the past few years and usually I'll only get a few emails and it has never moved to a point where we exchanged addresses. Andy's Pen Pals is another place that I've recently come across and I have heard from a girl so I'll see how that goes.

Too bad the price of postage doesn't go down but maybe people using other means is the reason why it keeps going up since people aren't using regular mail as much. Oh what do I know I'm just making a guess and complaining at the same time because it's annoying when the stamp price goes up. I bet it will go up again pretty soon. It should go down. If I was still doing my zine I'd probably would have been forced to stop doing it with the prices the way they are.

I kind of miss doing the zine but it costs money although I could probably do it online or something. That's something to think about but I don't know where I'd do it. Is there a place for online zines like there are for blogs and journals and websites? Well I need something to do with my time so why not spend it writing after all I could use the practice.

Exit Strategy by Kelley Armstrong

Jekyll

Trust me I'm a psychopath. Hyde

I still think there should be a c but that doesn't mean that I haven't enjoyed this show. I was a bit surprised to find a season finale so soon but England does really weird seasons or series as they call them for some reason. I would think that would be confusing because if a person hears series finale they think the last episode ever but that could just be the mind of an American.

Well now we know who the old lady is and that was a shocker because I never would have guessed. I won't mention who in case someone happens to be reading this that hasn't watched yet. I thought she was a ghost like Thelma except people could see her unlike Thelma who could only be seen by witchy types or those that took that potion to open their third eye or whatever. At least Tom won't have that to look forward to since his other half seems to be dead. It's kind of a disappointment because Hyde is entertaining and yes creepy but he grows on you and it turns out that he wasn't quite so evil after all.

Whoa that would be so weird to find out that you're a clone. What confuses me a little is would a clone be able to give birth? I guess since the person is a duplicate of the original but it is a bit weird. I get cloning body parts and organs but a whole person is kind of odd at least to me it is. I could see the appeal but would it really ever be able to compare to the original. What do I know it's not like I'm a scientist or something. Talk about scary if someone decided to clone me. I will miss this show and hope that it comes back unlike Life On Mars which just disappeared. I liked that show even with the seventies theme which is scary. I'm just glad that I don't remember the seventies. Talk about bad fashion.

So Supernatural Saturday will have Doctor Who back along with Torchwood. It's not that I don't want to watch the first season but I want season two to come quick because of James Marsters who I absolutely love. I wonder if he'll be doing the British accent on there. Hey he's just a boy from California but it's easy to forget that when you've watched him do the accent for seven years as Spike. He's also going to be on Without A Trace which is cool since I watch that and eagerly await feasting my peepers on him. Get your mind out of the gutter.

You're a Jekyll

See, there are good people in the world. You can always be counted on to do the right thing, even when it's inconvenient for you. You always give the pregnant lady your seat on the bus, and suck it up when things don't go your way. Your moral fortitude can make you a touch boring, but when the Hydes of the world are on their flame-licked journey into Hell you'll be sipping your non-alcoholic daiquiri on a cloud in paradise, right?

Schizo Day!

Today is the day where BBCAmerica can't decide which day it is. For the most part it is Supernatural Saturday but when Graham Norton is on it's Comedy Saturday. That's a good show that I watch because it is very unlikely to watch it and not laugh at something. I do wish I had that button and the setup he does to mess around with. I could put a mike outside the window and screw with people that go by when I'm bored. Hey it would pass the time. If you haven't watched it you really should because it's a great show. Yes it's a talk show and I'm not a girl that watches them. The only time I'd really watch a talk show would be if a guest on it is someone that I like but this one is different.

I don't just mean that the host is British which he is but this is the kind of show where it doesn't matter who the guest is because there have been times when I had no idea who the guest was and still enjoyed it. That chick from Harry Potter certainly talks about farting quite a bit. I don't exactly make that a regular part of my conversations but it was amusing. Come on you know you giggle when you hear the f word or by f word I mean fart. Go on and say it out loud right now. Come on you know you want to. Are you going to tell me that you didn't giggle when you said it. Come on say it already.

There has been a break from the heat which is a good thing but it looks like it will be creeping back up. Enough with the heat already. I need to think cool thoughts to make the weather more tolerable because I'm sick of the nineties and higher since I think there might have been days when it crept into the triple digits but I'm not a weather person so I don't know the exact details. All I know about the weather is that it has been horrible for a girl that doesn't like the heat. Pale skin and hot sun just don't mix together too well.

Another good show that's on today would be Jekyll but I still think there should be a c in the spelling. I guess that's the British way of spelling it since that is like a different language from American. They put a y in tire so it looks like tyre which just looks really weird to me. I guess how we spell words can look weird to them too. But watching a lot of BBCAmerica helps an American broaden their vocabulary and I do find myself using British Speak. I like the word oy. I think it is sometimes spelled oi but I like it better with a y. It just sounds better than using the word hey. Come on say it out loud. Doesn't it sound better? Now say both of them out loud and compare the two? See what I mean?

Ding Dong The Bitch Is Finally Gone!

Currently Reading: Exit Strategy by Kelley Armstrong

In this case it was a matter of the fourth time being the charm. Jen the bitch nanny from hell is finally out of the house. Hey if she doesn't want to win the money she shouldn't be there because the rest of them do. That's kinda the whole point of the show getting a chance to win some big bucks. Why did she bother if she didn't care about the money unless she's lying for some reason. That girl is no stranger to lying. Now there's lying and there's lying and she just seems to be pathological when it comes to lying.

I do feel bad for poor Dustin having to put up with her all by himself for a whole week from hell. I know I wouldn't want to be stuck with her for that long. Talk about a total nightmare. I just can't imagine what the parents of the kids she watches are like if they pick her of all people to take care of their kids. That is just scary. I wouldn't trust her with a goldfish let alone some kids. Ok maybe in real life she isn't as she portrayed herself to be but I'm having a hard time buying that because it made no sense for her to act like that if that wasn't really how she is because she is just so hateable. This concludes this latest Big Brother rant and now on to the regularly scheduled ramblings that pop out of my head.

The book I'm reading right now is pretty good although it isn't part of the series that Kelley has. It is a separate book about a hit woman of all things. Instead of putting the book in the sidebar in case anyone is curious about my reading habits I decided to just post them every time I do an entry so I can out of curiosity find out how many books I actually read in a month or hell even a year. I was answering these questions and one of them was about how many books I read in a year and I honestly couldn't say. I'm sure I at least read a book a month so 52 at least but the highest was 20 and over. It really depends on the book since a longer book would take longer and of course how much time I take to read each day.

Before I would say that I read more because I had to go to the library to get on the computer and was limited and even more limited when I made the decision to only tolerate the place once or twice a week so I was only getting online a few hours a week and now that number has gone up considerably but I still read. So now I'll find out just how much I read and who knows maybe someone out there is curious about that too. Yes I'm weird but I wonder what the number is but I do know that it is about one book a week.

Maybe it was just a case of me being tired but I certainly didn't like my quiz results last night. I took a quiz to find out which Harry Potter character I'm like and I kept getting Ron. Once I got Ron and Hermione but the code was all messed up because it didn't change from the quiz about Which Hogwarts House? so I had to take it again and I got Ron and Hagrid. Talk about a weird combo. I don't have red hair although I have a sister that does. I don't like spiders and I do have pale skin which would be the only things I have in common with him. I'm not a giant so I don't know where Hagrid came from.

I realize that quizzes are for fun but these results kind of bugged me for some reason. It's not like I take a quiz and take it a bunch of times for different results although I did this time and I kept getting Ron except for those two times when I got Ron and Hermione and Ron and Hagrid. Behold the weirdness that resides inside my head. Well it is over and done with so there's no use going on and on about it because it's silly. So I'm like Ron big deal it's not like I got stuck with Draco which would have been really bad because I'm one of those who just loved it when Hermione punched him. You go girl!

A Crappy Start

Currently Reading: Exit Strategy by Kelley Armstrong

It's just been one of those days where it gets off to a crappy start. Sure I was able to fall asleep for a bit but I still woke up at about eight this morning. Of course I didn't get out of bed because that is way too early to be thinking about facing the day at least to my way of thinking. So I decided to read for a bit before venturing out of bed to face the day. At the time I thought I'd have a DVD ready and waiting for me at Borders and I just needed to print up the coupon from Borders after which I'd walk over to the mall and add another DVD to my collection.

Things were not so smooth at all. First there was some weirdness with the computer. It always seem to pop up when you want things just to be simple and easy. It was refusing to show itself so I tried shutting it off but it didn't want to turn off so I pulled the plug since that worked before but the screen came back on and it was stuck and not on the page with the coupon. Now I was pretty sure I hadn't erased the email so I tried again to shut it off and it worked. So I got that done and went and found the email so I was able to print up the coupon. Next I checked the email and found out that the DVD wasn't at the store after all.

So that didn't make for a very good mood for this girl which I'm sure you get from this rant. I try to contact them by email and I have emailed a few places. Man it's a pain in the ass to try and get something at a store when you go on the website and they have the product but only if you order it online. Why is that? Is it so hard for it to be sent to the store? It's just really annoying and I did find it at a store but it wasn't a store near me so I emailed to see if it could be sent to the store by me but I'm not holding my breath. I guess I'll have to order it through Power Star which I didn't really want to do because they charge nine bucks for shipping which is a bit ridiculous. Am I the only one to think this way?

I don't have a credit card and I know that it's a good thing that I don't have one because if a place was stupid enough to give me a credit card that would just lead to a disaster. At least I have the sense to realize that and avoid applying for one because there might be a place out there that would love to sink me into a world of debt. I know I would use it right away to update my DVD collection. Those seasons just seem to add up and even with my current quest to get Xena, Buffy, and Angel I'm still working on getting all of them. It hasn't been until the past few years where Xena was a more reasonable price because for so long they cost $79.99.

So I'm halfway to having all of Xena although I have all of them on tape. After this I think I'll go over to Borders and see if I can get Buffy or Angel since they will likely be there. Xena never just seemed to be in the stores like Buffy and Angel. Am I the only one to notice this? I guess I might be more observy when it comes to things like this because of my lack of a credit card. I just know that I would max it out lickety split and that would just be bad since I'd have no way to pay it off unless it started raining money or I discovered the squirrels weren't just hoarding away nuts in their homes.

For the time being I'm stuck just saving money and buying a DVD when I have enough money to do so. I deserve a treat after all I've been doing the workouts on a regular basis and have even recently added Billy Blanks to that even though he's kinda scary. For that alone I deserve a treat. In a way it's a good thing there isn't a Nothing But Silver store here because before I spent the money on rings and other jewelry so DVDs weren't really bought but now I'm trying to at least get my top three shows and I'm getting there. I have eight to go and that will go down by one if things work out when I walk over to Borders which I plan to go do now. I'm just glad that it's cooler today.

Stray Thoughts!

That castle looks like a nice place to live up in the clouds away from annoying people. Sure I'd have to do something about the pink but it doesn't seem too bad. It's not like I'm anti pink or something but there can be too much pink. That's the crazy thing about the Power Rangers. Each Ranger gets stuck with a certain color during the course of their run and in the beginning it was worse because they went for more than a season wearing the same color all the time. The only color I wouldn't get sick of would be black since it's slimming. It would suck to get stuck with white because that just makes you look bigger which doesn't matter if you're tiny to start with. Red wouldn't be such a bad color to get stuck with either but it's like they are forbidden to have a girl in charge unless it's for a few episodes when another team shows up.

I have no idea why I'm talking about the Power Rangers of all things but I am and hey it's something to talk about I guess. It's not like I'm a fanatic about the show or something. I've watched it when I was bored and nothing else is on so it's not like I eagerly await nine o'clock to roll around so I can watch it. It's cheesy and so bad that it's entertaining but I actually liked Mystic Force. I should really have my head examined but I'll come right out and say that I did watch it and liked it. Sure it is cheesy but it's entertaining. At least it isn't a reality show which are just getting more and more horrible.

So of course I couldn't avoid an idiot encounter today but once again I let the moron know what I thought of him. The poor fairies had to suffer the idiot riding the bike on the grass. Why do people do that? You don't ride a bike through the forest so why the hell did he decide to ride it on the grass. It's not like there wasn't room for him to pass me by although no one gets away without hearing my thoughts about their stupidity. If you don't want to have me say something to you just get in the damn street where you belong. It's just as simple as that and anyone with a brain can come to that conclusion all by themselves.

People don't walk in the middle of the street and cars don't ride on the sidewalks at least for the most part and that just also goes for bikes. I just can't stand their superior attitude simply because they are riding something. So what you're on a bloody bike that doesn't make you any better than me it just means that you'll get to where you're going faster than I will. I happen to like walking but I don't enjoy these idiot encounters. So if you walk let yourself be heard when you encounter these idiots. It could just be here because I didn't run into this problem in California.

Oh to go back there where it is sane and normal unless this horrors that I have to face each day. I can't even go to a Sanrio store because there is only one in the entire state which just sucks. At least I found a place online where I can get Hello Kitty stuff and not have to do the stupid credit card thing. You can place your order through the mail and I have my eye on this adorable HK necklace that is sterling silver. So I can't even get HK stationary which sucks.

I have a theory about the people that drive here. I think they are on their best behavior when they take their driving test until they get the license and then just don't care anymore. So many people don't even use their directionals and don't even give a shit about giving the pedestrian the right of way. It's not like it takes me five minutes to cross the street. It wouldn't kill a person to let me go. They seem to think that if I'm on the curb that I can just stand their all day until they all go by. Well I don't play that shit and if you cut me off and you happen to be in a car you will hear about it. I guess people that drive don't walk so I guess it's possible that they don't realize what shits they are being. Hey that's possible although I don't really believe it because I know they know that they're being shitty. Just because you're in a car doesn't make you special.

One thing that will remain a mystery would be the rocks. What is the deal with the rocks? Instead of finishing some sidewalks that would be more fitting of the name they decide to have half of it dirt with some rocks thrown in. Who came up with that stupid idea? I don't want to walk on some stupid rocks just because some idiot on a bike demands me to move. That isn't happening and I've taken to walking more in the middle instead of the side when these idiot encounters occur.

When I have a run in with an idiot is just makes me hate the place all the more. I just can't stand it here but I'm stuck here. Money isn't going to come flying out of the sky and the one time I thought that things were finally going my way the whole thing turned out to be a big fat con and to make it even more wonderful Wells Fargo ripped me off. Yes that's right they stole my money so I wouldn't bank there at all. Maybe it's just the Wells Fargo in Colorado but I wouldn't risk it. They don't give a shit about their customers and I was flat out lied to and my money was stolen. So if you're smart steer clear of them and go with another bank. This concludes the ranting for the day.

The Corset Diaries by Katie MacAlister (Well I only have about thirty pages left.)

Rules Of Friendship!

Currently Reading: The Corset Diaries by Katie MacAlister

Truth and time tells all, Justin Bobby

Oh no I actually watched The Hills and liked it. Shoot me now to put me out of my misery. I guess what appealed is that I was in a simliar situation except it was a long distance friendship instead of a right there kind of friendship. It just sucks when a so called best friend keeps blowing you off for a guy. It just makes me wonder if the whole best friend thing is becoming extinct. You watch shows where the best friend stabs their best in the back by sleeping with their boyfriend or girlfriend or whatever. There are just some things you shouldn't do if you truly value the friendship.

So I would be in the Lauren camp. It was even harder for me because it's not like I could try to see this person because of the whole distance thing so it was emails or letters. I didn't expect the letters to keep coming at the rate they were since it wasn't uncommon for us to write back and forth a few times a week. Sure that would slow down but I didn't expect it to actually stop entirely. I was always the one trying to talk to her with very crappy results. I would end up like the bad guy even though she was the one that wasn't talking to me.

Sure you'd want to spend a lot of time with that guy or girl you meet and start dating but that doesn't mean you should cut off who is supposed to be your best friend. Guys can come and go but best friends should be forever although I'm not too sure about that. I think it might be best friends for a while until the inevitable splitting up when one of them puts a guy first. In Heidi's case it's Spencer and I just don't get why. I didn't lilke him at first sight. What the hell does she see in him anyway? Yeah like that marriage will last if they ever make it to the altar.

Maybe she just decided to do it to me first because someone told her that I'd probably get a boyfriend and ditch her. I wouldn't do something like that because I actually value friendships. I'm with Lauren with the whole it's better to have a few really good friends instead of a bunch of flakey ones. What's the point when they aren't really your friends unless it happens to be convenient for them.

Another thing I don't like are those friends that fall to the pressure of cutting ties with you to better their reputation or whatever. I had a friend who stopped talking to me for whatever reasons. I think I know who was behind it but at this point I don't really care because it was so long ago. Well it didn't last because finally this person came back to me and apologized but it was never the same after taht and things fizzled out anyway after high school. You shouldn't let other people pick who your friends are. What does that say about a person to allow themselves to be dictated on who they can and can't be friends with?

So this kind of brought back the whole mess that was this friendship along with a out of nowhere request on Myspace to be friends. That was such a shock. At first I didn't realize it was her because I just saw the name and I try not to hold other people responsible for something they did just because they happen to have the same name so I friended her and just out of curiousity because I had a suspicion it was her I looked at the profile and I could tell right off the bat that it was her. So I wrote to her and let her know who it was because it seemed like she didn't know although how many people are out there with my name that happen to like bats and daisies and fairies that also love to read?

Well the response was pretty typical. I was hoping on some level that we could try again although I was straight with her when I said that I wasn't sure if it could work but that I was willing to give it a try. So instead of hearing from her I got removed from her friends and got absolutely no response at all. That is just so very her and speaks volumes. Apparently she didn't value the friendship like I did because even now after all the shit there is maybe a tiny part of me that would like to try but I know it's not going to happen. I also know that Heidi and Lauren aren't ever going to be friends again unless Spencer is out of the picture.

Just because I've accepted that doesn't mean that I wouldn't want to try but it's obvious that she doesn't so I'm not going to do a thing about it. It sucks when friendships end but they do and you can't get them back even if you want to. It's strange because I haven't really given her any thought for the longest time until this whole Myspace thing popped up. It's just weird how that happened and that she didn't seem to know it was me. It's not like I've changed what I like. Maybe it was just another way for her to make a dig at me. I just don't know and frankly I don't really care.

There's no point in trying to revive a friendship that is a corpse. She picked schizo boy over me and she'll just have to live with her choice which she obviously has. I'm just so sick of this shit happening over and over again. I wonder if it's possible to attract the wrong friends like the wrong guys or girls to date. It's like I'm a magnet for people that just want to be friends for a certain amount of time before the inevitable nothingness sets in. Is it too much to want a friendship that is longlasting? Is it even possible?

Template Woes!

I really need to search around to figure out how a person can change the template without losing everything because it is a real pain to have to redo it from scratch. Sure I can improvise and take the code from each section and save it in an email draft but the sidebar can really grow so it would still take a while to recreate it even with all the codes at my fingertips. I don't plan on changing it often but it would be nice to know that I could change it without having to redo the sidebar. If anyone is reading this and knows how to do it or has a link to a place where I can find out how to do it please let me know.

I did find a few places where you can create a template but the one I found today really is tricky because you have to have the right picture. A banner would work better and I had some problems when I was trying to make a Ruby Gloom one for my other blog here. I think you have to switch it over to Classic and although I was able to switch it back it was kind of a pain so I didn't feel like giving it another try and just restored the template that I had before. I think it would be better to know what I'm doing before I try something like that again. It wasn't so bad to redo the sidebar because I have had that blog up for not even a week. I would be screaming and bouncing off the walls if it happened to this blog since there's a lot going on at the side.

I'm just glad that I don't have a raging headache right now. They are a real pain and it is just so wonderful to find out that if you happen to be prone to headaches and in a girl way you're more likely to have some kind of stroke. Now isn't that wonderful to hear? So I get headaches and I'll end up having some kind of stroke. Well that's just great. I can at least take comfort in the fact that I don't have an accent. Yes I took yet another quiz and according to it I don't have an accent which is totally accurate because I don't. If you're curious just go to Melancholy Girl and scroll down to the bottom of the page where you will see the results from the quiz and a way to get to the quiz yourself.

Frustrated Much!

So after a bit of frustration I was finally able to find a Ruby Gloom layout for Myspace that actually worked. The first one was a little messed up because on the side where you have the last log in date it was seeing double. So I found another one. Am I the only person that gets frustrated while looking for stuff because it just seems to take so long. I think I need a searching for dummies 101 to make it go smoother. I spent a lot of time searching yesterday and I don't even want to think about it in terms of time because that would be of the bad. Too bad there isn't a search engine for just one subject so I could go to the layout search engine and find what I'm searching without going through stuff that mentions the word. There has to be a better way of doing it.

It is so hard to find layouts for livejournal. I've come across some places but most of the links you find just make a mention of the word and don't have any actual layouts. It just leads to major frustration and I don't need that. I did find someone and I heard back from this person so hopefully I'll get what I'm looking for. At least I was able to change the layout at livejournal with minimum fuss unlike here where I'm still a bit in the dark. I need to figure it out since this blog ain't going anywhere.

Right now I have dancing mushrooms for a cursor. I change it pretty often. I should warn you about Zango. I found them and it seems really great and they have cute cursors and other things you can stick in emails but I think it might be the reason that this computer has been acting a bit off. So unless you are one of those people that knows how to uninstall after installing something I would suggest you resist the temptation and stay away from it. I have it off but it's not uninstalled and I have no idea how I'd go about doing that. I guess the wonky could be because this computer has Vista which doesn't seem to be compatible with a lot of places.

I'm trying to be nice to the computer but I'm annoyed that I haven't been able to play games on Zwinky lately. I did check to see if I could go shopping and that part works for some reason but every time I try to play a game I get an error message. I can go into Zwinktopia but if I go into the arcade or the bowling alley and push to play a certain game I just keep getting the same error message. I should find out if it is just me or if there is some problem. Well I'll do that later if I think about it.

Right now I'm reading The Corset Diaries which is a really funny book by Katie MacAlister. Excuse me for a brief lunch interlude but I'll be back to continue this after I'm done eating. I don't want to spill something on the keyboard which would lead to major pissed off me.

So I'm back from eating lunch. I dined on a Happy Meal. Well I get them when they have a cute toy like they do now. I actually eat it unlike some people that got them when they had the beanie babies and just tossed the food away. That's dumb if you ask me. I prefer Burger King but it's been a while with McDonalds so I'll get some of the cute Build A Bear fuzzies.

If you want a book that's funny The Corset Diaries is a great book. It's not a vampire book but it is good even without the fangs. I don't know if I could go around wearing a corset. It does shrink the waist and if you wear it a lot it actually shrinks the waist down in reality. It's not like I can toddle down to Target to pick one up. Where does one get one anyway? Are they expensive? They are like torture devices so they shouldn't be super expensive. It would be interesting to give it a try to see if it could make the waist a bit smaller. I'm not talking about a freakishly small waist but who doesn't want a smaller waist?

You Might Be Weird If Cont...

You have a problem with tree people? Joe

So I've decided to continue the weird list that I started the other day. I finished Harry Potter and of course there were tears shed. What human wouldn't shed some while reading that book. It's a gloomy day out and I'm in a gloomy mood and I've been searching around for cute Ruby Gloom stuff. For some reason my other blog here has her as a theme. So here's the list and feel free to add to it if you wish. I don't think I doubled any of them. I am going to see about creating my own Ruby Gloom mood theme. Sure I have no idea how to add them to LiveJournal unless I include them in the entry but so what I can stick them here instead or rather at my other blogger blog that isn't quite so wordy.

25. When you see a bug you kill it and then address the room and promise to kill any other bugs that turn up.

26. You have a theory that a portal opens up in the dryer that sucks in socks that seem to go missing.

27. You have gone inside your close when you want some peace and quiet.

28. You have taken the phone in the closet when you make a phone call so no one hears you.

29. You have set off the alarm in the house when you totally spaced when boiling eggs which leads to a kitchen full of smoke.

30. You have accidentally set a trash can on fire.

31. You have put on socks that are two different colors when one is missing or one of the same color has a hole.

32. You don't throw out socks with holes and wear them on days when you don't go out.

33. You talk to inanimate objects.

34. If you're feeling too lazy to shave and happen to be wearing jeans with a hole you shave the area where the hole or holes are.

35. You knock over trash cans that are left on the sidewalk and in your way in the hopes that people will clue in and not do it anymore.

36. If someone cuts you off while you're crossing the street you let them know with colorful language. This includes making a remark when a car is sitting right in the crosswalk. Walkers unite and make the jerks of the world sit up and take notice and give us pedestrians a little consideration.

37. You like breakfast for any meal of the day like Cliff but beware you might disappear like he did. How anyone seen him?

38. If you have more than one blanket on while sleeping you've woken up the next day with the blankets reversed.

39. You tuck the blanket around your body.

40. You don't see the point in making the bed after all it's just going to end up in the same condition the next morning after sleeping.

41. You want to move to Xanth so you plan to go to Florida to find the border.

42. You enjoy picking your nose. I suggest not doing it in public and for Pete's sake wash your hands afterwards. Too each their own but this isn't something I do because eeww. Sure it might be necessary at times to remove a stubborn booger that just won't come out but as a hobby I'm thinking you can think of something better to do. They should make something to stop a person from chronic nose picking like they do with nails.

43. You have accidentally come across porn online when searching for things not of a porn nature.

44. You refuse to eat bread that was in the freezer.

45. You think bacon tastes best with soda instead of milk.

46. You think the Slowskys talk too fast. (I'm talking about the turtle couple in the Comcast commercials.(

47. You mute certain commercials because they are just too annoying.

48. You think donuts shouldn't be dunked after all that leads to squishy and just sheer ickiness and the same goes for cookies.

49. You think it's silly to change out of your pj's if you don't have to.

50. You have bought pajama tops and worn them out as a part of your wardrobe after all there are some cute tops that look like regular tops that you can't resist like Hello Kitty for example.

51. You think it would be cool to have a whip. (A pony too would be nice that I'd name Argo.)

52. You stay away from Ouija Boards just in case.

53. You have no desire to get your driver's license.

Merlin's Pants!

Well It's raining and I'm not talking about a little shower either because it is full on pouring right now. I'm just glad that I went shopping before it started because I'm not in the mood to get wet. Wet socks just doesn't sound very appealing. At least it's a break from the broiling temperatures it has been over the summer. Oh come on fall start early this year.

Last night I was reading Harry Potter and once again it led to crying. I'm not sure that it's such a good idea to be crying before bed. Sure nothing like a little torture and death to lead to a girl getting a good night's sleep. I sort of slept ok. I woke up at 3:30 with an oh shit moment when I realize that I forgot to renew some books that were due so I had to come upstairs to check that out and have them sent off to the library in the morning before they opened which leads to ideally no fines which worked out. It's a loophole that usually works but not always. So if you space on the due date bring it to the library before they open to avoid the fine.

I like the other library because they give you a little leeway and if you miss the due date by a day they don't fine you. I much prefer that because I don't like fines because most of the time it's the library's fault for being dumb. I got sick of having to turn them in at the counter to make sure they were checked it so I stopped doing that and I'm just waiting for the screw ups to begin. They don't like being told that but hey I call it like I see it. I realize that it happens but the amount of times was just ridiculous. I guess I have higher standards because I'm used to the wonderful libraries in California. Oh how I miss it there and hate it here.

I just tried something and it didn't work although it looked like it worked. I added another cursor place to the computer. I think it's called Zango or something. Well it allows you to add emoticons and pictures to your email and they have some really cute ones. The emoticons button is appearing above this so I tried to add a picture but it didn't work. I wonder if the animations will. No it didn't work but it allows you to do it with emails and it pretty much covers the major email places. I think there is a button that says other if you don't have one of the emails listed. They have some cute cursors but unfortunately you can't add them to your blog or website because there is not code. They have code with cursor mania which I like but the smiley pictures are stuck in another email on this computer that isn't mine.

It looks like I just might be done with Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows by the weekend. There were a few days when I didn't get a chance to read it which is why it's taking a bit longer than it normally would. Also I only got the book about a week and a half ago so it's not like I've been reading it since the day it came out. It's really dark and there has been some tears shed during the reading of it. If you happen to watch Doctor Who you would know about his reference to the book and his crying while he was reading it so I'm with him because it's so sad. I won't give any details about why the crying occurs because I can't be the only person that hasn't read it all or has even started reading it. Some of us can't just go out and get the book so we are at the mercy of the library which can come with a really long wait. I'd still be waiting if I hadn't decided to see if I could get it quicker at Bemis and I did because I only had fifty people ahead of me and they have six copies. It's a library all by itself but they have a pretty good selection and they aren't afraid of the paperback.

Now I'm sitting and waiting for Eclipse which I should be getting soon since I have one or two people ahead of me. I prefer the actual book to the e book. Sure that would be handy for books that are heavy and in hardback form but I like holding an actual book in my hands. Reading from a screen can lead to bleary vision unlike a book. You can't cuddle up with a whatever it is you use to read an e book. You certainly can't take it into the tub with you or in my case the shower unless I want to be electrocuted. There's an idea books that have rubber pages that you can take into the shower with you. Ok that's a bit weird but why not I like reading in the bathroom well more precisely in the tub but that option isn't available to me because of the moron that designed the place decided to put in a gigantic sink and a tiny shower.

Mood:Cranky

A Little Confused!

I'm not sure about you whoever you happen to be that's reading this but this picture doesn't look very depressed to me. Sure it's a cute picture but not so big with the depressed thing. I agree with the comment that said this picture was too cheerful. She doesn't look the least bit depressed unless she's hiding it behind a mask of smiles. I'm not familiar with that whole concept of smiling.

At least on the bright side I didn't run into a bunch of idiots while I was out walking. I even heard what I assume was Dad lecture his kids about not riding on sidewalks which is a nice change of pace because people here don't seem to give a crap about the pedestrian. Sure I don't see many others walking but that doesn't mean that I should be ordered about and cut off just because someone is riding a bike or a car for that matter. I got cut off by two bitches. Hello stupid make your damn turn instead of just sitting there with a finger up your ass with plenty of time to turn and finally deciding to turn just when the light turns green for me to cross but I let them know by calling them both a bitch because that's what they were being.

It's not going to kill a person to wait the few seconds for me to walk far enough so they can make their damn turn. I wonder how in the world people get licenses in this place because they are shitty drivers. I guess they are on their best behavior when taking the test but say fuck it when that's over and done with. I feel like I'm wearing an invisibility cloak or something at times like that. Hello can't they see me waiting to cross the damn street? There was even a car that just stopped at the light and got out of the car to have a chat.

Can you say dumb? There is a McDonald's right there and just across the street is the crazy mall that is Southwest Plaza where they could have pulled into the parking lot to have their chat instead of doing it in the middle of the street. It's a main street and not some residential street. When I was walking back with a rather full backpack I started hearing this buzzing. At first I thought that maybe it was a sign of impending insanity but fortunately it stopped when I walked further down the street. I think it might have been the light or something but my sympathies to the dog because it was loud there and the poor dog would hear it even louder since they have better senses than us humans do.

The strangest thing happened. I logged into my other account on here that was a total accident since it was a few years ago and I never did anything with it and actually I don't remember signing up for it but I must have because I was able to access it and my name was there including the email address minus the email part so I thought I'd use it so I went in there to do an entry but somehow the entry got published in this blog. I erased it otherwise you would be seeing it but that was weird. I don't know what happened and hopefully this one won't do the reverse. I put the entry in the right spot so hopefully that was just some weird fluke.

You Might Be Weird If...

glitter-graphics.com

1. You openly call yourself weird.

2. You take a quiz to find out how weird you are and get disappointed by the results because the weird percentage isn't high enough.

3. You spill nail polish on your shirt and can't get it off so you start wearing the shirt inside out because it's a good fit and rip off the tag.

4. You eat soup with a fork which means you eat the noodles and the chicken part but not the actual soup part because it just doesn't appeal.

5. You watch the cursor on your screen and discover that the bear sits down after doing its little dance thing.

6. You talk to the computer and try to sweet talk it into working right or downright curse at it when it doesn't work right.

7. You talk to the screen when watching something as though they could hear you somehow even though you know they can't.

8. You try pushing the mute button to see if it will shut someone up.

9. You decide to pretend you have a cat in case someone asks you about it when you go to PetSmart for some catnip after all that's where the pets go unless it's that other store.

10. You go to PetSmart for catnip and openly say that you're buying it for yourself in the hopes that they will find you weird even though people use it too.

11. You call up someone and hear the answer machine and say a name like Trina for example and laugh and hang up.

12. You name a kid after a fruit or some other weird word that shouldn't really be a name. Think of the poor kid when it goes to school do you really want little Apple to come home crying because she's named after a fruit?

13. You wonder what happens to your voice when it's recorded because it just doesn't sound the same as it does when it is coming out of your mouth.

14. You've spent some time wondering about the lack of a mouth on Hello Kitty.

15. You let the fairies know that you are crossing when you walk on the grass out loud or in your head depending on your weird factor.

16. You apologize if you forget to say that you're crossing the grass.

17. You talk to the animals as you pass them by and say,"Hi" to the squirrel as you walk past.

18. Instead of buying a workout DVD you do a workout from On Demand and just in case it doesn't come back you tape it so you can use it.

19. When you go to Borders you always buy a gift card so you can get the coupon that is 20-30% off your next purchase where you go back and get what you want.

20. You take your earrings off at night because you don't want to take them off during the night which often leads to missing earring backs.

21. You take your eighteen inch necklace off because you've had one grow on you before and let the other two remain around your neck.

22. You decide to try a kids yoga workout in the hopes that it will be easier to follow because the regular one just leaves you puzzled.

23. You take off your pants to do your workout after all jeans don't really work well with the stretching and sidestepping around.

24. You change to your pj pants to work out in or a pair of sweats if available.

Ok that's all the weird I can think of right now and one was even inspired by a call that just came in from some guy who was looking for Trina. He had to have known it was the wrong number because the answering machine message is pretty scary. If I come up with more I'll post them at a later time. Feel free to add any you come up with in the comments section.

Just Some Weirdness!

Once again it's a hot day which I can't stand. I wish I was paid every time it was up in the nineties and above during this summer because I would be able to pay to have my manuscript edited by now. Woohoo I spilled ketchup on my sock and that takes some skill. No I didn't spill it out of the ketchup bottle. I was having lunch at the time and it just happened. I'm just a magnet for the weirdness. After all I'm the girl that has fallen going up the stairs which can't be a very common thing. The computer was blinking for some reason so I had to restart it and thankfully it's stopped doing that. I'm trying to avoid insulting the computer so it doesn't start going wonky again.

I just looked and once again it's raining on my Realm Of Sadness website. The rain wasn't showing up before. Well it was all jittery and it looked more like snow which isn't good because I'm not a fan of that white stuff and all too soon I'll be bitching about that because a girl's gotta bitch about something and the weather would be one of those things that I tend to bitch about on a regular basis. I just thought the rain kinda fit in with the name even though it's kinda being turned into a Xanth site. I didn't know at the time what I was going to put there but Xanth it is because that is just such an awesome verse and I want to move there.

I want to leave dreary Mundania and find my way to Xanth. I want a magic power and be able to get shoes from trees among other things. That would be such a cool thing because you wouldn't have a need for money. I wonder what they do about DVDs. Well I'd have to make sure that they were introduced to Xanth since you can't always read books. Hmm what power would I want if I were to go there? That is such a tricky question because there are a lot of cool powers out there. I'm thinking maybe being able to fly or something. I just don't know because my brain isn't really working at its best today. I just feel dopey today.

I haven't tried the yoga yet but I plan to sometime this week. I'm just not sure when but it probably won't be today. When I was working out earlier I could sense the heat from outside the window. Yes I was downstairs in the basement doing my workout. This time I was smart because I saw that it was ending yesterday so I recorded it just in case it doesn't come back. Sometimes they do and other times they don't. It's just that I have other DVDs that I'd rather buy at the moment instead of an exercise one.

I'm still waiting to walk about my depression. If that was really true I'd be the happiest girl because I've always walked. It just doesn't seem to work on me. Maybe I am immune like with aspirin if you have headaches a lot and take them they lose their ability to really work as well. I'm proud that I'm still keeping up with the workouts and Leslie is entertaining but I just don't get why people are working out with smiles on their faces. I'm not one to smile ever but if I did which would take a miracle I don't think I'd be smiling while I was working out. Maybe they are forced to smile while the video was being taped otherwise they would have been whipped or not paid for their time or something.

Swell!

Once again the day didn't get off to the greatest start when I spilled my drink on one of the slices of bread. So I had to have one because if I grabbed another one it would have thrown the whole count off unless I had three slices which I don't do so it was just the one. At least I didn't spill the whole drink but it did go on some of my stuff. I have a page that was spilled on a couple of times but on the plus side at least it's still readable but it's not edible. That will be a lesson to put down the drink first otherwise you'll spill on food. Maybe I'm the only person that's ever spilled on food since it just sounds so weird. But of course weird and me go hand in hand.

There's recurring theme so far that things don't start off too great and to top it off the TV is acting all wonky and I still don't know what I'm going to do about the Passions sitch. If I wasn't watching some of their shows I would totally blow them off like another network although I did make the one exception that is an exception and not a rule to add Supernatural to my viewing pleasures. Sure I could watch Heroes elsewhere but they would be airing it first. Now I am so looking forward to the new shows.

Now I've watched every season of Big Brother and I'm not so sure if that's something that I should brag about but I wonder if Dick has because he seems to think that the house should just vote according to what he wishes. Hello people lie and maybe when they agree to vote for a certain person they are telling the truth but people change their minds. So what's up with that? You really shouldn't attack a person's religious or lack of beliefs because that is just wrong. People are entitled to what they believe in and sure some are total loons that make a certain religion look bad but it's not like Amber or Jameka are trying to convert anyone. That is something I don't like a person that tries to get you to switch to their religion.

Poor Eric is stuck with a crappy task this week. I really should vote but I haven't so far. I wonder why people are wanting him to get Dustin on the chopping block. It was ironic how Dustin was offering himself up. If Danielle gets herself off Jessica could put Dustin up like he wanted and get Dick out. Talk about a name fitting a person but I am willing to admit that this game could likely bring out a very different person from the reality. The goal is to win the money and a lot of people would be willing to do whatever it takes to do exactly that.

Damn I wish that Jen was on slop again because out of everyone I just like the idea of her being on it. I just don't really like that girl. She has no compassion or empathy for another person that isn't her. Is this part of her act too since she's dumbing herself down. If I had kids which would only happen in a bizarro world I don't think she'd be hired to look after them. It was entertaining to see Jameka stand up to Dick and I say, "Go girl!" She really wanted to hit him but went with the clapping in his face. Hitting is a no no on these shows because that would have given her a one way ticket out of the house.

I've decided to give yoga another try after seeing a yoga thing that I think I could manage. I was searching around and found a kid version so I'm thinking that shouldn't be too hard and I looked at a little bit and it looked doable. They really should have a dummy version because it's hard to be doing standing mood shine or whatever with your ass up in the air and your face to the floor and trying to watch on the screen what you're supposed to be doing when they don't really give you a good description so you're lifting your head up and it just isn't very comfortable. I'll see what happens with that and maybe this time I'll make it all the way through unlike last time. At least I got about half way through last time with Rainbeau.

Damn once again I wasn't able to play anything on Zwinky because I just get the stupid error message. That's the third day in a row that I've had that happen. I can change my outfit but that's about it. At least the Zwinky doesn't have to shave. That's a good thing and I can change my mouth. I only recently discovered that. I do the surprise me thing which can have something odd or really cute show up and I managed to find a fairy shirt and I just love fairies. Yes I do believe.

A few times I've really liked the outfit but the mouth was wide open which I find odd. It's just a good thing my Zwinky doesn't have a bug decide to take a visit inside her mouth. It's not good to swallow a bug and unfortunately I've done that before but it was strictly by accident and no way on purpose because I just don't get the appeal of eating bugs even if they are covered in chocolate. The bug would still be there in that chocolate so the chocolate would be totally ruined.

I just go on their to play the games and haven't actually talked to anyone. I actually speak in sentences and haven't really seen anyone do that not that I've spent hours on end in their looking around. I have learned a few new words except I don't remember all of them. I was thinking about using a word for the titles since it can be tricky to come up with a name every day. Sure once I'm writing I have no problem but the title can elude me. Sure the title could be left blank but the first few words would end up the title and that wouldn't be good because it would be something like so the yada yada yada. I haven't found a name generator for blog titles.

Someone should do that so on days when you just can't come up with one you can type in the name of your blog and have a name come out. I don't know how they are made so I'm not touching that. I'm just barely comfortable with the HTML thing and that's as long as it's code already written that I just need to highlight and copy. The right click is still being crazy but I did learn that ctrl v is paste if the right click isn't working so I'm learning something. Why is it v? That just doesn't make any sense to me and I stumbled across that by accident.

Not Off To A Good Start!

You aren't off to a good start with your day when you go to your computer and get a black screen. It's even worse when you go to jump into the shower to wash your hair and find a bug inside that forces you to run off naked for the fly swatter followed by getting the vacuum to suck it up. Next going for the bottle of whatever cleaner to do a bit of scrubbing around on the floor of the shower before stepping in and washing the hair. That is followed by hoping and praying that restarting the computer while you're in the shower is working and after getting out of the shower it's off to start a wash. As you walk by the room you vow not to look inside to see if it worked out not and focus on getting the wash in. You take a peek and find out that all is well and the screen is up so you sweet talk the computer and are so relieved that you won't be going to the wretched library each day.

So that would be a bad start that doesn't turn out too bad since I'm typing this aren't I? It was pretty ugly there for a bit but now all is well and the computer is being really cooperative so I'm not going to yell at it or at least try not to. So it's going to be another hot day which is pretty obvious by the fact that it's 78 upstairs and it wasn't even ten thirty at the time which is always a bad sign so I sense the air being turned on today. I'm just so relieved that I won't be forced to go to the library each day because that would have been a week of me bitching about that.

Does anyone else think that the serving suggestions are odd? I was looking at the nuts and it says thirty-nine nuts. Who in the world actually pours some nuts out on a paper towel or whatever and counts them and finding more puts them back in the jar? Why thirty-nine? Who makes the number up because it's really silly. When I have bread I have two slices because that's what a sandwich has at least the ones that I make but I've seen on the package that one slice is actually one serving. Huh? That makes no sense because I would think that most people are going to eat two pieces.

Another odd thing are the tiny donuts. They sell or at least they used to sell because I haven't seen them and don't have a liquor store to go to see if they have them those Hostess donuts in a six pack. If you look at the package three donuts are a serving but come on admit it don't most of us eat the six little donuts? If you get the bag that has a bunch of them the serving is four donuts. Some of the little donuts say five. So if you're really bored look what it says for servings. Who eats one cookie?

Bunny!

So I found out that my inner smurf is Painter. Ok that would be proof of my weirdness but I loved the Smurfs and I'm glad that they are coming back. At least I'll be able to watch them because I have Disney unlike stupid DirectTV. Stupid NBC for doing this to the fans of Passions which leaves people out in the cold because not everyone has DirectTV or can just switch it just like that. I saw a really bizarre episode of The Smurfs although it wasn't a real one. It's just wrong to have Smurfette singing, Papa Smurf can I lick your ass? That's just gross because everyone calls him Papa which implies that he's their Dad. Whoa you don't want to have sex with him since he's uber fertile. Where in the world is Mama Smurf?

I was looking through some Hello Kitty pictures and yes she will be mentioned every so often and not all the time. Just because I have her as my template doesn't mean that I'm going to be talking about her every single day so don't freak out. So I came across a picture of Hitler Kitty and Nazi Kitty which I found disturbing. What kind of person would think that was cute or even think of doing something like that? I found it really disturbing. The dude was a total monster and shouldn't even be connected with Hello Kitty in any form. He should be put with the other monsters of the world through history.

There was a strong bunny outside yesterday. Now that I think about it Spottie reminded me a little of that odd cat that hung around for a while. Maybe she turned into a bunny which would explain the oddness of her. She was just a bunny like no other that I've seen not that I claim to be a bunnyologist or something. Usually bunnies tend to be one color or maybe black and white but this one was kinda like a cat with many colors and black spots at least one that I noticed. That's why I named her Spottie. She was just sitting on the lawn and staring but I'm thinking she might have been sleeping with her eyes closed.

That would be handy to be able to sleep with your eyes closed but hell I'd be glad to get any sleep I can get. I slept a bit better last night. I just hate it when I'm there with my eyes closed wishing for sleep and trying to avoid looking at the clock because the time seems to drag on and on when you do that and can't sleep. Too bad the brain isn't like an alarm clock where you can set the time you want to fall asleep and the time you want to wake up at. It's no fun waking up at four in the morning and hoping like hell that I might be able to get back to sleep for a little bit longer. At least I'm doing better than the year where I literally slept if I was lucky about three hours a night.

Oh yeah I was talking about the bunny outside the window. Well the window was opened and she didn't move so I started worrying about her because she was just sitting there and seemed to be staring towards the house. So I guess she was sleeping. It even started raining and she was still sitting there. I knew she wasn't dead because her little nose twitched but she was there and the rain wasn't a drizzle but pretty heavy. Finally Scary came over to the window and the poor little thing took off like a shot so apparently she was just fine. I told her to go hide under the bush when it started raining which probably reaffirms my weirdness but she just sat there. I wonder if she'll be back.

What would be really odd would be if she landed up in the well thingie around the window. It's like this metal thing that goes around the window I guess so someone doesn't fall because the window I'm talking about would be in the basement. Yes a basement can come with windows and not be dark and dank places. I'm still waiting for Spike to show up. I have cable TV and a mini fridge to put his blood in. That's where the cat was one day when I walked over to the fridge and found myself staring into a pair of eyes which startled me. Hey at least I didn't scream. That would confirm that the cat turned into a bunny but she'd probably get hurt if she tried to do that so I don't want her to. The cat can get in and out with no problem but the bunny is smaller

>Find your inner Smurf!

What?

Well isn't that a kick in the pants? I decide that I want to change the look of this blog and even find a template I like but behold the horrors when everything from the sidebar up and disappeared so I'm having to redo it from scratch which is kinda hard. So it will take a while for me to put everything back up if that's even possible. What a pain in the ass this is so I don't think I'll be doing a repeat performance any time soon. I thought I would be clever and have two windows logged in but they both ended up with the same thing and I didn't copy all the codes into an email although I did some which is why there is anything up at all. I hope there's an easier way to do this otherwise I won't be changing this ever again. It's nice to know that I can use another template but I feel like such an idiot for ending up with a blank sidebar.

Oh great it's raining now so that's just the icing on the cake of my day. At least I had better luck over here than over at Livejournal because it didn't work out so well because it just didn't look right. So I guess that won't be changing over there unless I can find a dummied down version of how to do it. I figure once I know what the hell I'm doing it should go more smoothly. I just wish I knew how to save the html things that were on sidebar and down below so I have a lot of stuff wiped out that I'm going to have to try to recover. If you happen to come on here and see something missing please just contact me because I am trying to put everything back up. I had no clue that this would happen.

It's strange because I could have sworn that I saved it last night or downloaded it or whatever but I guess now. At least the sidebar is bigger so I'm trying to look at the bright side of things which is a strange and new thing for the likes of me. At least I was smart enough to keep an earlier version of this blog on a window so I can refer to it in my quest to get everything back up. I probably won't be able to get every single thing but I'm going to try. I could use a little help with that so if you happen to have a webring that I'm in and it isn't showing up here just give me the code please and I'll stick it up as soon as I can.

No Idea!

I was thinking which is something that I often do although it can get pretty weird in my head but I was thinking about those name generator things that give you a vampire name or a fairy name or whatever and wonder if they have one for blogs. I tend to write in here every day so after a while it gets a bit tricky to come up with a name for the latest entry. They should have blog name generator that you can go to when you are blanking on a name. Sure you can just leave it blank and have the first few words of the entry be the name which has happened to me accidentally but I went back and named it. Or maybe I could just start using random words each time. I did find a website that has a translator that translates Mundanian to Xanthian which is pretty cool. I could put my titles in Xanthian and have the translation somewhere in the entry for the person who happens to be reading this to find. It's just a thought.

I don't know about anyone else. But this picture doesn't look like a bat. It's so weird when you type in something and the result in no way resembles what you were originally looking for but Aragorn here is pretty darn cute so I decided to stick him in here. Maybe there's a course to take to get better results when you're searching for something because it's so odd when I am looking for something and end up with porn that in no way has anything to do with what I was searching for. Today I was looking for places to add my blog to and I hit a button and ended up with nude pictures. I don't know but that doesn't seem to have anything to do with letting people know about this blog. Is it just me that this happens to?

According to the menu it is going to be 100 tomorrow which I don't like at all. If I venture outside I'm sure to melt into a pile of flesh and bones wearing jewelry. I don't know how accurate it is because I have to wonder how in the world the Comcast menu knows the temperature when it can't really know where I am. Maybe there's a GPS thingie in the box that allows them to post the right weather but I don't know. Dam I have no idea what I'm going to do when Passions moves to DirectTV. Why did they have to move it there of all places? It's just a pain in the ass because I love the show and unless I find someone to record it for me it looks like September 14th will be the last day I can watch it. I don't like that they won't be airing it online like they are now.

Sure there have been some days where I've missed pieces because things went all screwy but at least I knew that I could watch it. As for Pretty I'm thinking she's just using what happened to her to be a vicious bitch. How could she take pleasure in an innocent man dying just because he happened to be in love with her sister. That is just evil and made me think of demon Gabby talking to Callisto in Hell in Fallen Angel. Not that I'd want acid in the face but if it had to happen Pretty has it in a good spot because she can hide it. When she first came on I was a little confused because I was expecting to see this huge and hideous scar and it's not that big and hidden by her hair.

So I don't know if I missed a flashback that showed what happened. I only have what Father Lonigan said. It sounded like there was some random glass of acid lying around that Fancy threw in her face. I'm guessing she thought it was water. Let that be a lesson to you people to lock up your acid and not leaving it lying around for people to throw into another person's face which turns the person into an evil monster. Sure it's horrible that it happened but so far at least I'm thinking it was an accident. I doubt if Fancy knew that it was acid and why in the world was it just sitting around? The Cranes are richer than God so I'm sure she could get her face fixed.

Carrie's scar on Days was much worse and she was a fellow acid in the face victim. Chloe's face was pretty bad too and she was able to get it fixed so Pretty should be able get it restored. I just loved it when Pilar hauled off and punched her because she totally deserved that. She's so consumed by hatred for Fancy that she doesn't seem to give a shit that poor Pilar is about to lose another son that's being murdered for crimes he didn't do. She would qualify as an evil blonde in the Charmedverse.

Sheridan seems to be channeling Beth in the total insanity department. First off if you're going to kill someone and you really shouldn't unless it's self defense the last place to do it would be in a prison. Aren't there cameras all over the place? Another thing would be you can't trust a psycho that has no problem raping his own sister and starting a relationship with his uncle. Even if she had pulled off killing Theresa at an earlier time he would still let Luis die because he's a full on psychotic freak. Sure he went through hell growing up but that doesn't give him the right to become a monster.

What kind of prison just leaves a electric chair hanging around that someone could just use to kill someone. It was kinda creepy how Sheridan was calm and thinking about the way to do it properly and thinking of The Green Mile to make sure she got the job done. As if Luis would take her back after she murders his sister. Did she think she would never be found out? I would think there would be cameras and video that could make it to the light of day by Vincent because it would be like him to do something like that.

It was ironic that of all people that Gwen ended up saving Theresa's life. Well it's about time about all the times she's tried to kill her. I have lost track. Theresa needs to play some major catchup in the kill attempts on Gwen because on her part it's mostly been self defense when psycho Gwen goes after her. Once again it's a crazy blonde. Maybe the bleach has gotten to her brain and turned her against brunettes or something. Beth was anti blonde so why not the reverse being true. I am so thrilled that Norma is back because she and Edna are funny. They are a strange pair those two but they are never boring.

No Knitting Needles Please!

I was doing a little wandering around last night checking out the new addition here that allows you to view other people on here with the same interests. I came across a fellow fan of Xena and loved her idea on using the titles from episodes throughout the site as a theme. I hope she doesn't come after me with her knitting needles after all she is a Warrior Knitter. I really liked her idea and decided to use it too. I'm not going to use the exact same episode titles although I can't promise that there won't be a title or two that are the same because I'm not going to make up a list of the ones she used but I just like the idea and I'm considering using other shows. I'm still in the thinking stages but I did think of some episodes that I could use. You could use it for whatever show you happen to love.

I was also thinking of going behind the titles and maybe try things related to the show in question or even quotes if they happen to have few words like, "Wanna be bad?" which could go somewhere I suppose. I'm just thinking and I'll see what I come up with. It gives me something to do. I had a total dumb moment since I only recently discovered the rest of the templates on here. Now I haven't spent hours upon hours looking at blogs on here but I've looked around and the ones I've come across seem to be the three that you first see when you go to the template page where you can change it. I guess the setup isn't that great because you can miss the extra thingie that I don't know what it's called that allows you to scroll down and check out the other layouts. Maybe I'm not the only one that hasn't noticed and in my defense I've only been on here since May.

Quite by accident I found out that I must have signed up here in 2005 because one time when I was logging in I forget the yahoo portion and found another blog that I must have signed up for although I have no memory of doing it. It has to be me because it was my email address minus the yahoo and the password worked and the profile said my first name so I must have done it. It can't be some freak coincidence could it? Also the whole book whore thing too is just too coincidental to not be me but I'm sticking with this one because it would be too crazy to try to keep up another one. Sure I could just list my books but I tend to put up what book I'm reading here so there's no need. It's just too bad that I can't delete it because it is kinda annoying to come across blogs or journals that haven't been written in since 2002 or something.

Now I realize that not everyone is going to write in it every day but some of them are just ridiculous. There should be something when you are searching that weeds out the ones that haven't been updated in a really long time. It just sucks when I do a search and find someone that has a common interest only to find out that the person hasn't updated in weeks or months and sometimes even years. They really should do something about that. I'm not saying to delete it but don't include it when you're searching and if the person comes back they can reactivate it or something.

I play Alphapets on Zwinky which if you don't know what that is would be a game where they give you some letters and you put them into words. I never even heard of neem and neep. Are they really words? I just typed them because you only have two minutes which means I just start typing in random letters hoping to get a word out of it. I have to say that I don't think I've ever heard them in actual conversation. Maybe that's just a sign of me being dumb but there are just some words that just aren't used. Mura would be another word that I ended up typing in that turned out to be a word. If you watch BBCAmerica you find some odd words too. Do people actually use the word shan't in regular conversation? Maybe in England they do. Another word is respite. Now when was the last time you've used that word? I don't think it's ever come out of my mouth. Now I may have read books with the word if that counts. Even the spell check doesn't like neep and mura as being actual words.
