Around And Around

I sometimes feel that way Bambi. I did see a Bambi pendant when I was actually looking for an Eeyore one but it kind of disturbs me. Maybe I'm the only one that finds it a little odd that the outline of Bambi is faceless. There is no face which kind of creeps me out. Why aren't there eyes along with the rest of the little guy's face. I wonder if anyone would buy it. I know I wouldn't because it is just creepy to me.

I did see a Dora one that was actually a really good price at Walmart. I'd be really excited if I liked Dora but I don't so there was no excitement today in Walmart. The only excitement was the little critters I encountered on the way to and on the way back. I would like to find Eeyore but that seems to be a really hard one to get. of. The one place I found him at ran out. I guess people really love him and hell I'm one of those people since he's just adorable.

Furniture Hunting?


Sure you need furniture inside your house but there's also the backyard to consider. You might want to get a fire pit so you can enjoy evenings outside. It is always handy to be able to shop online since you can do it from the comfort of your own home. There are color photos along with information about the item.Outdoor Furniture is actually different from patio furniture. I wasn't actually aware of this myself. Patio furniture can't be left out in direct sunlight which makes this type of furniture a much better choice since you want it to last for years.

You might want to check out the wicker furniture. They have dining sets. Just think you could have breakfast or perhaps dinner outside. It would also look really great by the pool if you happen to have one. There is a really nice selection of furniture so it is very likely that you'll find something that will suit you. Don't hesitate because the Holiday Sale ends today.

Before you know it spring will arrive and after that summer which means you might want to get some Patio Furniture. They have sofas, loveseats along with other pieces that would really look great. The chaise lounges would be ideal for lounging outside and just enjoying the day. Also if you happen to live in Canada there's no worry because they also ship there so go on over today and check out the furniture.

Be Less Confusing?

I'm not sure if I could pull that off since I have a knack for confusion. At least I know how to spell which is something. I just don't get why someone would spell the word hot at least I'm thinking it was the word hot h-a-w-t. What is that? I think it was supposed to be hot but it was spelled hawt which just looks weird to me. Why add two wrong letters to a word and an extra letter to a three letter word? That just doesn't make sense. I think maybe texting is going to lead to the apocalypse not to mention crappy spelling. Is it really all that hard to add the y and the o to the U to make the word you?

Nope there won't be any texting in my future. First I'd have to get a cell phone which I don't have. So now you know of someone that doesn't have one. I think people just lose themselves in the magical wonder of the cell phone and decide to use it any and everywhere and I'm talking everywhere including the bathroom. That one has me puzzled. If you don't bring it with you into the stall you won't risk dropping it down the toilet. That's what happens when you decide to chat when you're on the throne. Do you really want people to hear you doing your business? What if you fart?

Calling Cards

Sure many people have phones but that doesn't mean that a Prepaid Phone Card couldn't come in handy. Phone batteries die so it wouldn't be a bad idea to carry one around just in case.Phone Cards also might make a good gift to loved ones that live far away. You might want to get a card to send them so you can talk over the phone. You can find out the lowest calling rates. It also might be a good way to limit your phone calls so you don't ring up a huge bill that you really can't afford.

Calling Cards would also be good if you happen to have kids in college. That way they won't have an excuse not to call home. You can select the phone card by name so it is pretty easy to figure out what you want. It also provides information about the card so you know what to expect before you place your order. This way you can get the cards you need for either yourself or others that you want to keep in touch with. Another thing that's pretty handy is being able to recharge the card while keeping the same pin number. This eliminates the hassle of trying to figure out what your pin number is since you won't need to change it if you recharge the card's balance.

New Year's Resolutions?

So what you think about New Year's Resolutions? Do you think they're dumb and a waste of time? I tend to think they are just doomed to failure. I've never really made one so I thought I'd make a list so here goes nothing.

1. Write every day. Sure it might be crappy writing but that's something right?

2. Eat more chocolate. Chocolate is good for you right? Oh wait I think that would be candy canes. But what do you do when you can't get them since they aren't a all year kind of candy? You might be able to find some at the store but that's pretty unlikely unless they're hiding in the back.

3. Walk more. I'm already an avid pedestrian so this one should be pretty easy.

4. See if I can finally finished those unfinished stories that are just hanging around. It is tricky because the pages get put up and then I can't find the damn things again leaving them in unfinished limbo.

5. Finally do something about that book of mine that's just gathering dust. Sure it might be crap but I won't actually know one way or the other until I actually try to get it out there.

A Hole Appears

So I went to see the little prairie dogs and they were there. Usually the way I go I don't really run into many people but this time there was a couple of loud mouthed kids along with I'm not sure what it was since I wasn't really paying attention. I was reading at the time but I knew there were three people so I'm guessing a parent or a babysitter. They were loud so I thought they might have scared the little guys away but I got a pleasant surprise when I saw them as if they were waiting for me. Can they recognize people? I have no clue.

I just might have an idea since I seem to be very odd writing about the Winchesters as prairie dogs so I might see about posting that sometime today maybe. You'll just have to stay tuned. I do have a drabble but I need to check something first before I post it. I'm probably the only one that gets inspired by furry little critters. I thought this would be a fluke but this would be number five I think about this crazy little idea that entered my head just walking over to Walmart. Who knew something like that could happen when you're just taking a walk.


Damn I ended up with a hole in my sock? I did get a pack of socks but since they just had six I got another pack but it wasn't the same brand since the other one was Hanes and this one was I have no fucking clue kind. I guess they aren't very good since I have a hole in my toe. It wasn't there when I put the shoes on this morning so it happened while I was out. Why do they put six pairs in a pack anyway? Wouldn't it make more sense to go with seven or maybe eight? The plan is to wear a different pair each day but not run out on laundry day. So this is the first casualty of crappy socks.

How many more will suffer the same results. I'm just glad it was tolerable out since it wasn't too bad. I decided to delay going to the library just in case those vague in transit books turn up. That is so annoying because I never know when they're coming when that message shows up since it can mean anything. I did put more on hold since that's the only way to do your librarying. Also I wouldn't know where to find the books anyway if they actually are in the library since they don't bother to shelve books so they can get them for me. They changed things around and I don't know where they moved that section to.

I don't know what's going on with my arm and that mark. It kind of looks like a burn but it isn't since I haven't burned myself. At least it isn't itching because they really drives me crazy trying not to scratch something that really shouldn't be scratched. Maybe my arm is protesting being stuck in this crappy place or rather the asshole of the world. I never did figure that out so it might not even be the asshole. That would require a map so I could point out Detroit which is supposed to be the armpit of the world. Maybe someone should do that to see what each place is. I wonder where the mouth is.

It is always odd to get books through Prospector because they ask you what institution you're affiliated with. That makes me think of the loony bin. That's just a odd way to say it. I'm not affiliated with any institution. I get books from there since they don't seem to have as bad a phobia about paperbacks as the library near me does. Maybe the library is the institution they're talking about but that word doesn't make me think of the library even a crappy ass library like that one.

Bad Moonlight

This one was a little bit longer. Danielle lost her parents so her Aunt goes to live with her and her brother. When she joins a band things start getting strange. She seems to be having violent fantasies and even though she's seeing a doctor things don't seem to be getting better. Also Dee trying to get her out of the band isn't helping matters any. Things aren't as they seem since this is a really out there story which I happened to enjoy. I tend to toss books aside unless I'm liking them.

Someone dies so Danielle starts wondering if she should stay with the band since she starts having strange cravings. Well it isn't very normal to see your brother with a cut and start licking it right? So to find out just what in the world is going on with this band and the bad moonlight you'll just have to read it for yourself. It's a quick read so don't fear the book. Try the library since it happens to be out of print. So the Fear Street marathon continues. Is it considered a marathon if you're reading a bunch of books from a certain series? I guess so unless I call it a Fearathon.

Finally Arrived!

So the hostages have been released which means I'll be able to read the book or watch the DVD at my leisure. I thought it was strange how it took so long since the DVD at least arrived yesterday and it was in the state although I have no clue where Commerce is. Hell I think that's an odd name for a city but supposedly it is a city somewhere. I'm guessing UPS dude needed some recovery time from all that partying that made what should have been three days into seven days. I could understand a day or two because of Thursday but this is a bit ridiculous. Shouldn't I at least get a coupon or something for my patience? I didn't complain about it to them so I should get something right?

I did finish that Days crackfic that I'll be typing up later on along with more of that diary that I'm working on. So there were will things added over at my website. So stop on by and say hi and if you like the place think about signing up. I could use some fresh blood over there and it would be nice to get the forum going. I'm still looking for a name instead of just the blah word forum. Sure you know what it is but shouldn't there be something before it so it doesn't look so generic. I wonder if they have a Dummies Guide To Forums. I should check on that since it might help out since I have no clue what I'm doing.

I think someone has been through my laundry since I'm missing a couple of things. Yes there has been a raid only it wasn't panties that was taken but something else that is semi related and in the same category sort of. For all I know the washing machine ate them because there was that weirdness when I did that wash yesterday. I think they might have been sucked down to wherever those socks go. That's why you should just keep with one or two colors of socks so you don't end up with two different colored socks. As long as both are white or black who cares if they really belong together. If you can't tell no one else will since no one is going around doing a sock inspection.

Sure I've been guilty of wearing two different colored socks because a sock would go missing or would go hiding in the laundry basket. I don't go around shouting about my two different colored socks so it's not like people are pointing me out on the street saying hey that's the girl who wears two different colored socks. If they stay hidden there's no problem. But if you're wearing shorts or something that's a whole other story unless the colors match so you use the excuse that you're quirky or something because you are matching even if the socks are two different colors.

I am puzzled that I was able to put a book on hold that isn't supposed to come out until next week. I guess the date could have got pushed up which would explain things. Hell who cares since I'll just enjoy the books which means I'll be rereading the Morganville Vampires series since another book in the series is out or will be out or whatever. I think it came out today even though it was supposed to come out next month on the 6th. As long as I get the phone all is fine with me.

It would be nice if they moved up Moonlight since I'm really looking forward to watching that. Stupid network knocking off the good show to make room for some lame show they only aired what three times before giving the boot. That was brilliant. Of the three shows I fell in love with last season only one has actually survived since Pushing Daisies will soon be pushing daisies too. Oh yes we need another crappy show by Ashton because we don't have enough crappy reality shows on TV. Oh I'm cheering about that. Well I'm not since that just pisses me off that they make room for crap while knocking off one of their best shows.

Friend Against Friend

I was amused by the cover so I checked the library and voila there it was so I read it this morning. Wow this story isn't a fluffy piece of well fluff. Andy and Neil who are the two guys on the cover if you were wondering are pretty good friends. Andy happens to be one of a few black students at school so it is obvious after his locker gets trashed that it was racially motivated. I just don't understand people like that. He decides to ignore it in the hopes that the person will stop being a jackass. Of course that doesn't work. Has it ever worked once to just ignore the problem and it magically goes away?

Things get strained between the two friends since Andy starts seeing his friend Neil as a white guy who he doesn't want help instead of his friend so things aren't really easy for either one of them. It gets really bad and Neil does something that he's deeply ashamed of. At least he came clean about what he did since that took real guts. So if you want to know what's going on this story you'll just have to pick the book up most likely from the library since this is out of print probably. The covers of these books tend to amuse me. What have you seen these covers?

Double Dose

So I was right about it also being the name of a soap opera. There weren't very options for TV viewing tonight and I did get some writing done so I thought I'd check out The City. I thought that there was a soap of the same name and it turns out that I was right. I think it was a spin off of Loving. No I didn't check out Bromance. I did watch some of Leverage since it did turn up on On Demand but I just couldn't get into it. I didn't like I think his name is Aldis who was Jake on Supernatural wasn't any more likable on this show. I was about to doze off so that's a really bad sign. Maybe that's the cure to insomnia. The only other show that literally sent me to sleep would be Cheers.

I don't really like Olivia since she's giving off that bitchy I'm better than you vibe. Did she have to keep mentioning her Deb ball? Do we really care about her first pair of Manolos? I certainly don't but if he's a family friend why did she have to wait in line with the rest of the peasants? Hey it just hit me she would hit it off with Greg since he had that whole I'm better than you thing and he did call everyone around him peasants except for his females which just creeped me out whenever he said it. They'd be two peas in a pod. Speaking of that show without actually mentioning it directly the new one looks interesting.

And did I actually hear her say that those instruments of torture that are ridiculously priced and not all that great at least to me are comfy? I wouldn't say that since I've seen what wearing heels do to the feet and it isn't pretty at all. You can't even walk in the damn things. I did see someone riding a bike in them which is just crazy. Is there some heels law there? Well it's a good thing I have no desire to move there. Meat Packing District just conjures up images of butchers and a good place to hide a body. Now I'm just talking about the name not the actual neighborhood which actually looked pretty nice.

I think Jay just might be the Aussie version of Justin Bobby. That was pretty clever to offer to call the girl up since he knew she wouldn't. The odds were good that she would believe him if he made the offer so you really don't know if he was telling the truth or not. He doesn't like Olivia so he can't be totally evil right? Maybe Alex is just jealous but why would he get into it with Jay at that club I'm thinking it was. I have no idea where they were but I think it was a club. I think Kelly was right in saying that maybe Whitney can't trust either of them. She just got there so is it really the best idea to get into a relationship with this guy ten seconds after she moves there?

I do like Erin and I'm thinking Olivia might be the She-Spencer of the show. You know I had to go there or maybe you didn't. Maybe she'll grow on me but so far I'm not liking Olivia at all. She just comes off as that type of person that thinks she's better than everyone else. Also her cousin or whoever that guy was seems the same way. It was like they were saying they should make sure she doesn't get involved with the wrong people. What's wrong with downtown anyway? Maybe she should watch out for the uptown types that throw dinner parties on their roofs. That was pretty rude to just up and ask her at the dinner table about Adam.

Hello you sure know how to make a girl uncomfortable. I'm thinking Whitney was glad to have that glass of wine in her hand. As for Erin she didn't look like she was having such a great time either. Obviously she didn't meet Olivia's standards or whatever. Does she think she's in France or something? Why did she do that French kissing thingie they do to Jay? Does she want him for herself or what? Bitch you're in America so just shake his hand or something. Maybe they do that in New York which I wouldn't know about since I don't actually live there. I do walk a lot so I have something in common with New Yorkers.

Too Soapy?

Yesterday I did my wash as usual but today I decided to wash the towel I forgot about. When I washed my sweater I put it on the towel to dry so it wouldn't get all bent out of shape or at least that's the theory and I forgot to wash it yesterday. Since the weather is more tolerable out I thought I'd wash my lighter coat since a trip to the library is coming up which means more Fear Street but not as many as there has been unless those transit books come in. So I poured in the Woolite as usual but the machine started acting weird.

There was this squealing noise and when it was finally finished I still saw soap so I thought I'd put it through the rinse cycle or whatever again with no luck. I ended up washing it again without adding more soap of course and I turned up the size. I thought that washing a jacket and a towel would qualify for mini status but apparently it doesn't. They really should have some sort of a guideline on what qualifies as mini. So I put it up to small and when it washed again everything came out just dandy.

Sure the machine moved but at least it wasn't doing that crazy squealing noise it was before. It did move some. I was all ready to drag them to the shower to rinse them off if that damn soap didn't go away. I have no idea what happened and yes I used less soap. I'm not a total moron. So maybe it was briefly possessed or something. I have no clue but I'm just relieved that when I looked inside everything was just dandy. Maybe the buttons on the coat were causing the squealing but since it didn't do it the second time it couldn't have been them.


I have another drabble to add and I'm working on another diary. You'll just have to go over to my website to see what's going on. I guess I'll stick with the template I changed it too since the other one was a bit limited since there was only room for a little picture. Since I'm a technotard I'm just keeping things very simple. I'm also going to add another Buffy story and maybe one day one of those things will get finished. I think the Days one should be worked on first since that's the closest to being done.

I really need to catch up on Days since I'm a bit behind. Too bad they don't show the week's worth on Sundays like they did before although it was on at a crappy time at least if you're in the stupid timezone that is Mountain. I'm not that far behind so I should be able to catch up without going completely bonkers. Who knows I might even do a little more drabbling. I do have a potential Azumanga Daioh one in mind that I might see about writing today. I just haven't' been writing as much lately.

Blood Price

Long before Blood Ties came out a book did that later inspired the series. So if you never read the books this would be a good time to dive into them. I decided I'd reread the series that I discovered back in the nineties. Vicki was once a cop but she quit the force to problems with her eyesight and instead became a PI.

She lands in the middle of a murder investigation when she discovers a body in the subway. Coreen a college student who loses her boyfriend Ian to the killer decides to hire Vicki to find the killer. She is convinced that the killer is a vampire after all the bodies are drained of their blood so it isn't such a leap really. It turns out that Vicki is the only female which is the only reason Coreen wanted to hire her so go girl power.

Mike who was Vicki's partner and happens to be her on and off lover is also working on the case. Vicki ends up finding out that vampires do exist when she meets Henry a vampire that is trying to find the demon doing the killing since it isn't a vampire after all. There's a human summoning a demon and as part of the ritual the demon's killing so the human can get things he wants. So go on and check it out since this is a great series and I recommend reading other books by Tanya since I really enjoy them. Until next time which just might turn out to be another Fear Street book so run and hide or come back to see what I read next.

Son Of A Bitch!

I was getting annoyed working on my website so I'm going to not think about that and do something else. I did write something which I'm hoping to put up later. I think the website could be haunted. I was fiddling around with the look because the other template I was using did something weird in the blog. Yes I'm keeping that up for now but I'm not sure if I'll keep it or not since I'm just thinking about it. That would just be TV posts so no I'm not actually starting another blog since I did move some entries from here over there.

I just don't like it when the paragraphs get all scrunched up. And the crazy thing is the damn thing changed the color without me pushing anything. I was seeing how this one template looked but when it was done it was the brown one instead of the blue one. See that's why I think the thing is possessed. Also I had to space things out because things were scrunched up. Hell I figured out the damn paragraph thing so I'd like to keep them that way instead of having it be a long ass blob. So it is sporting another one and I guess it's okay at least for the time being.

I just wish there was a way to change the colors. I'm sort of able to do it but not the way I want it. I did like the template I was using but I would prefer a darker background. I'm still doing the avoiding thing over there since there was enough bitching going on over there but maybe I should join in the bitchfest instead of just bitching about it on my blog. Sorry about that but sometimes a girl just needs to do a little ranting. Oh the fun of getting a non response to something.

Isn't that annoying when you have a suggestion or a question and others just seem to not get it? Maybe I worded it weirdly or something but I thought I was pretty plain about it. Forget it I won't even get into it because that's just going to lead to more ranting and I'm going to try to end the rant with this paragraph. Is that even possible? At least an effort was made even if it didn't actually help. They just should have an easier way to arrange pages when you're working on it but for some reason they thought I was talking about something else. I think it's pretty easy to get around my website since I do have I think it might be nineteen different contents pages.

It isn't so icky out so I might brave Walmart tomorrow. I'm just wondering if enough time has passed to avoid the long ass lines. I would like to exchange something so I thought I'd take advantage of the fact that other people are going to be returning stuff without a receipt so why not me too? Also I'll get a chance to see Dean, Sam, and Bobby unless they're hiding or something. I could come up with an idea to continue the story. Hell I didn't even think it would go beyond the one.

I do have an idea with a leprechaun in it. I might see about writing that. I did have an odd dream last night but I can't remember the damn thing. I think I was once again in a mall. I'm feeling better today although I was nauseous earlier but at least the head isn't pounding which it was doing earlier. Hopefully it won't decide to pound later because I really hate headaches. I'm sure that's one thing everyone would agree on the hate of headaches because what moron is going to like having a headache?

Chocolate Awaits

Right now I'm waiting for my cookies to cook or would that be bake? I think it would be bake even though it is the ready made kind. Who cares as long as they taste good right? I think there's a new Legend Of The Seeker on tonight if I'm not mistaken. I'll have to check about that. I seem to be all spacey today since I really haven't been in the mood for writing. It also didn't help that I can't find this page where I was finally going to start typing up this Passions story I started and was hoping to work on today but no the page isn't showing up and I know the damn thing is there somewhere because it wouldn't let me make a new page with the same name.

Damn it was windy but I'm hoping that's all that happens since I don't want anything to come out of the sky and that includes bird crap since that isn't good either. I think it might actually be tolerable so I just might see about taking a trip to Walmart to see if the prairie dogs are still around. I know nothing about them so they might not be there anymore. If I do spy them I just might do another Winchesters Adventures since I'm just that strange writing about the Winchesters along with Bobby of course as prairie dogs and no I haven't explained how that happened. I do have an idea for something else that I might see about writing tonight. Cookies await so I'm done for now.

The Awakening Evil

The Fears are in this book so you get to find out more about them and of course about Sarah Fear who was the one person that was able to deal with the evil that arises in Shadyside. Sarah Burns goes to Shadyside to marry Thomas Fear who she has never met before since it happens to be an arranged marriage. It is odd that a guy like that would end up getting married to someone he never met. That does tie in pretty good for an unexpected twist. If you're wondering about the twist you'll just have to get the book. I found it at the library since I'm at the mercy of the place for the majority of my book needs.

They aren't married long when Thomas ends up having an accident and after a while he ends up dying seemingly of pneumonia. The truth is revealed later on and Sarah ends up seriously ill and nearly dies herself. Everyone thought she was going to die so they ended up preparing her grave right next to Thomas. Okay that's pretty creepy but what do you expect from this crazy series of books? This book reveals the start of this evil so you might want to read about the cheerleaders first or not because it is up to you after all. I'm not going to hunt you down if you decide to pick up this book first so enjoy the weirdness.

Cheerleaders The Third Evil

Oh now I'm back again and there's another one coming after this one. Don't worry I'm running low on Fear Street books so something else should turn up soon. What a picture for a cover. She's doing the splits over a grave. That alone should be enough to get you to read the book and the fact that it happens to be a short book even with the first two added in. Yes once again I do mention going back to read the first two books. Maybe this helped me not get so down into the dumps during this time of year since the books are just so damn crazy.

Beware of green pea soup. Do people even eat the stuff? It just doesn't seem all that appetizing to me but to each their own I guess. I'm sure other people might think I'm insane for eating all that chicken I eat so if you want to enjoy green pea soup go for it but you might look at it differently after reading this. Corky is trying to get on with life but of course the evil is still lurking around. The question is who is it possessing this time? Kimmy is afraid that it didn't leave her.

That was a interesting twist because you might think it's one person only it turns out to be someone that you just might not suspect of being possessed. Corky is back to cheer leading and they head off to cheerleader camp where the evil rears its ugly head. This time it is different since it shows the possessed person fighting the evil which didn't happen in the first two books. Also there's a bit of Sarah Fear's memories revealed that the person is able to tap into that allows the person to find out how Sarah managed to bring it with her to her grave for a century before it rose up again possessing Jennifer.

Only Place To Shop

Since today is the day after well you know because I'm not saying it since I did decide to avoid using the words. So commercials were muted and I think it helped in a weird way. This would be Friday so that means the oh so fun trip to the grocery store. I'm certainly not going to the mall because that would just be crazy. It was like a ghost town in there which is perfectly fine with me. I was able to go to the deli counter and get my of course chicken without some idiot that more than likely had no clue what he was getting which I knew what I wanted. That is so annoying.

The other day there was a guy on the phone but there were two behind the counter so I was able to get my chicken with no problem. The chicken count will be unveiled on the 17th I believe. I'll check to make sure the date is right. So if you want to know how much chicken I've eaten in the past year you'll just have to stay tuned. Know what you're getting so you don't annoy someone like me who already knows exactly what they're getting. Is that too much to ask? I don't think it is because waiting in line especially behind some moron that doesn't know what they want is just annoying.

Since I seem to be an idiot savant I looked when I was getting some aspirin. There were two bottles and one bottle had fifty more for like fifty cents more so I went with that one instead. They are the gel ones which I actually prefer since they go down better. Those white ones can be pretty nasty if your throat isn't too accommodating when you pop them in which is why it is always best to have water or something to drink since there's a good chance you'll end up with that icky taste in your mouth. The headache is bad enough with that going on. This is a somewhat tolerable headache since I'm used to having them in some form or another.

I'm going to see if I can get some writing down to get my mind off the aching in my head. Maybe something chocolate would help. Also there's that drabble that I have started but never finished and another Supernatural one that I should do. I want to at least have season one done before the new shows come back. I'll just have to consult my muse to see if she'll cooperate with me. Also there's that crackfic that I really should see about finishing if I can find the page. They really should have a better setup where I have my website. I like the place but when the pages add up it can be a pain looking for the exact one you're looking for.

Oh what a fun weekend this will be with the hair coloring and all. I was going to get some Manic Panic but I just couldn't decide on a color so I went with something else. I never did get around to calling the store to see if they have it there since they do or did back in Lakewood Mall. Oh how I miss that mall and that cookie place which of course they don't have here since this would be Hell and they don't have good things in Hell. They only have the one Sanrio in the state so of course it isn't conveniently located being twenty some miles away. Sure I'm used to walking but that's a bit much even for me.

Well I know where the parties are going on since the book is living it up in Utah with some party delaying its arrival until Tuesday. Now I'm not great at math but I know how to count and this would be a week and not three days. Last time I checked a week had seven days which makes three days not a week. The DVD is having its party in Kentucky. Now I'm not sure but I think Utah is closer so I have no idea why it would take so long to arrive. With my luck it will be all thrashed which would suck since I'd have to turn it in at the store and they don't think the receipt is actually the receipt.

Cheerleaders The Second Evil

Well you shouldn't be surprised that I'm back again babbling about the second book in this trilogy. Actually I think there's a fourth that I'll have to see if I can get at the library. The evil hasn't gone away after all true evil never really dies. Okay that's quoting a horror movie but I'm not sure which one since it could be Halloween or maybe Nightmare On Elm Street although I'm thinking it would be Halloween. Corky is trying to get on with her life after her sister dies in a most strange way. No the deaths aren't over yet.

Debra believes the evil isn't gone at all even though Corky did battle it when it was possessing Jennifer's body. Corky is understandably jumpy after all wouldn't you be after the craziness that happened in the first book? If you have no idea what I'm talking about you'll just have to go back and read it. Also I think this book is a little bit longer but it is still under two hundred pages so this would be a quick read hence so many book posts popping up lately. Jennifer's brother starts following Corky around because he thinks she killed Jennifer so he has his eye on her.

Corcky and her boyfriend Chip who also happened to like her sister Bobbi end up meeting Sarah Beth who seems to know quite a bit about Sarah Fear. So it is interesting that some information about the people Fear Street was named after turned up in this book but she's hiding something. It is also strange that after Corky sees her with Jon in the cemetery he just up and disappears. Yes there is a body count so be prepared for a few screams. Coming up next would be the third book so stay tuned if you dare.

Neville, Neville, Neville!

Neville is so amusing. He didn't realize until he was told that The Jolly Roger was having a gay night. Hey they are people just like everybody else with money that is just as good. That line he said amused me so of course I'm going to see about using it in a drabble. You'll just have to wait and see what I'm talking about. I do think that Spike did it on purpose just to wind them up. Yes I'm using a British word correctly since I actually know what it means.

Hey you watch BBCAmerica for a while and you start learning that kooky language that is known as British. I am a bit confused about the Brew part. That makes me think beer but Jacqui was talking to her underage cousin so I'm thinking it was probably tea or something. I'm not liking the newest McQueen so far. What is up with that hair? I wonder what's hiding in there. You never know what she might find in there. There might be a family of badgers living in there. Okay I couldn't resist a Xena quote. Well sort of a Xena quote since it was actually Gabrielle saying it to Xena.

I might keep the forum going at least for a bit longer. I'm thinking about stuff to add. I really wish they had a dummy's guide to making a successful forum. It would be nice if there was posting on there. It wouldn't have to be much just some people posting a couple things each day. Is that really too much to ask? Dear reader I ask for you help. Do you run a forum? Do you have any tips for a girl that is totally clueless about doing it? If you do please leave me a comment.

Rudolph Why Red?

I wonder if I'm the only one to wonder why Rudolph's nose is red? Isn't that a sign of someone that drinks a lot? Couldn't it be another color? Now I think he's totally adorable and it's nice that he met someone although I'm not sure what her name is. Do you? Maybe it's Sadie since that name keeps popping up a lot. Sadie and Rudolph sitting in a tree. Did they get married? I always felt bad for the poor thing getting picked on by all the stupid reindeer. Shame on you reindeer.

As for writing I did add another drabble and a few ideas are currently buzzing around in my head so I'll see about getting some writing down. I just might end up watching A Very Supernatural Christmas even though I'm not really a fan of the holiday. That doesn't mean I can't enjoy the episode. I even found that goofy reindeer at Ace Hardware of all places. The poor things were behind a gate so it kind of looked like they were in jail. No wonder it was looking at me like it was asking me to set it free.

Out Partying Dude In Brown?

Twas the night before the Eve of the C word it came. A notice arrived saying it would be sent that morning. But instead of three days like the usual it will take a full week to arrive. Another surprise came when the item delayed was mailed out unexpectedly that very night. This too was scheduled to arrive in about a week. So where are you UPS guy? Are you stopping to party while delivering packages? A week isn't three days and even though I suck at math I know at least that much. So what's up with that dude in brown?

Do you require many stops for gas? Or will you be struck down with a case of gas? I suppose that could explain the day. Do you schedule having gas and allowed the extra time? Maybe the packages are just too heavy. It's not like you're carrying them on your back since you have the brown truck dude in brown. Hey you match your truck. Or is this some weird early April Fool's joke you're thinking to play. A book and DVD aren't cause for alarm when carrying especially when they happen to be in the back of your truck.

Did Santa hijack your truck because his sleigh broke down? That could explain a potential delay. Maybe you knew it would take longer because you need some time to recover. But you've been working in pairs so that should take a load off. You could pass out in the back drunk on eggnog calling out to the other dude in brown to pull over when you feel the need to hurl. Thank goodness there isn't a pesky door in the way so you can dash out and decorate the ground. Hell I've done that myself one time when I was crossing the street. I don't think I was spotted at least no one said anything.

As long as I get my book and DVD I'll be okay although a wee bit annoyed that you were so delayed. Maybe you decided that you need some time for pie. I get that because pie is quite dandy. Or maybe you wanted to have some candy. That reminds me I didn't get any candy canes. Hell they'll be on sale so why not splurge a little on the more pricey ones. Who decided to make that shape anyway? If you keep sucking you can end up with a sharp point and that sounded a bit dirty.

And who decided on that color scheme anyway? Sure chocolate is brown which I love because damn it the stuff is so very good. Okay I don't like white chocolate or the dark stuff but chocolate is quite delightful. Maybe the person just really likes chocolate and thought that brown would be a nice color for the uniforms and trucks. They better have packed right this time because I don't feel like getting a book that looked like it had been attacked by a dog. Yes that did happen so I had to go to the store which was a real pain in the neck to make a special trip because someone didn't bother to add those air cushion thingies. Sorry but I won't be leaving cookies and milk outside the door. Maybe if you were on time I would but you're going to be really late as in five days late.

Cheerleaders The First Evil

Oh come on how can you resist the title? I was at the mercy of the library but I finally got the first book and the third since I already had the second. I wanted to read them in order since that's what I do even with crazy ass books like these. The cover amuses me.

Bobbi and Corky along with their family move to Shadyside. I think there's a Hellmouth in this town centered right over Fear Street since a lot of bad things happen there. I'm guessing real estate is really cheap there. Why do people move here is what I'm wondering. Since they were cheerleaders at their old school they are hoping to be allowed to try out even though tryouts had already been held. Jennifer the captain of the squad allows them and the girls wow them with their routine so they are allowed to join.

Everyone isn't thrilled about this idea especially Kimmy who is dead set against it especially when Ronnie a freshman is bumped down to alternate to make room for the sisters. Things get really bad when a bus crash leads to some really strange stuff happening. The bus driver reminds me of the one on The Simpsons who I think is named Auto right? Jennifer survives but she's paralyzed so they need a new captain but no Kimmy doesn't get it since they decide to give it to Bobbi which is such a dumb idea.

Weird things happen and murder of course follows because that's what always seem to happen in Shadyside which is why I find these books so amusing. Sure I won't be adding them to my library but that doesn't mean I won't give them a read if I can get them from the library. So what is behind all the weirdness? You'll just have to read and find out for yourself along with the other books since this is just the first one. At least no animals were killed during the book which was a nice change because I don't like it when dogs get killed.

The Best Friend 2

When I found out there was a second book I just had to see if the library had it and got lucky. I just couldn't resist although I'm thinking maybe it would have been a better idea not to have a second book. If you read the first one you might want to read this one or not. Since it happens to be short I thought I'd go for it anyway. There was some confusion at the start because it appeared that Becka had moved one town over but it turned out to be Honey instead. Say what?

Becka went through a lot with the horror of Honey who is still obsessed with her and is even pretending to be her. It turns out that Bill isn't dead even though it appeared he was a goner at the end of the first book what with being stabbed and all. Becka broke up with him since she just can't deal with the memories attached to him and Honey. She keeps seeing Honey everywhere which is understandable and Honey kills again right in front of Becka. Okay it isn't such a good idea to go around strangling people in a store in the mall with people around to see you. She takes off and doesn't get caught.

So now Becka is on edge which is understandable so she blames the calls and other things that happen on Honey. It turns out that Honey is actually someone else. Oh the confusion strikes there but I kept on going since this is a really short book. Little does Becka know that someone else might just be out to get her. The only way you'll find out what the heck happened would be by reading the book. Thank goodness for the library since I couldn't afford to keep myself in books and not every book is a book I would actually want as a part of my library so there goes another Fear Street book and more are to follow since I'm still going on in this odd little quest.

The Thrill Club

Talia and her friends have a thrill club. They meet each week and share a horror story written by Talia. Since she's had writer's block lately her boyfriend's been writing the stories. Things get pretty odd when the stories start coming true. Maybe it isn't such a bad idea to write horror stories about your friends using their actual names. What is going on? Is Talia behind this or is it someone else? Of course this is another quickie book so it doesn't take too long to read it so try it since you just might like it.

After someone ends up dead strange things start happening like phone calls that Talia supposedly made but she has no memory of this. Beware of tapes that say Transfer Tape since weird things will happen if one of those is lying around. So I guess it's a good thing that tapes are probably not really used anymore. Another weird tale by the King of Weird. Will you figure out who is behind it all or will you be kept in the dark until the end? There's only one way to find out and that would be by reading the book. Go on I dare you.

Oh Fudge!

I decided to risk it and make fudge. I found a mix at the store so I figured I couldn't mess it up too badly. I got two because I wasn't sure how much it would make and okay maybe I wanted some too since I happen to like chocolate. Next came the oh shit do I even have a pan to put this in moment? There is a loaf pan but it wasn't the right size because the package has a really weird size listed on it with I'm thinking a fake size. Pans don't come in that size and what's up with all those extra numbers. But I'm no fan of math so maybe they do have pans that size and I'm just unaware of it. It's not like I go to the pan store to check out the pan selection.

So I just decided to use the loaf although I did think about using cupcake liners and the muffin tin. I melted the butter and it turns out that thirty seconds really melts it since it was all liquid. At least there weren't going to be any lumps. I also had another oh shit moment when I needed a tablespoon for the milk or if you prefer water. I went with milk myself in case you were wondering. Supposedly the big spoon is a tablespoon although I can't be sure myself so I just went with that and poured the milk. Of course I did it over the bowl since this is a spoon which is always awkward when you're pouring liquid in or at least it is for me.

Next came the oh so fun stirring which I can do with no problem. Hey I make muffins so this isn't all that different from that. After that came the pan part. I sprayed Pam in since it said to grease the pan. Of course I know that's so the fudge won't stick and lead to a royal mess. I did it but it didn't look all that great and it just wouldn't lay flat so it looked a bit lumpy although there weren't any actual lumps. Only I could end up with something lumpy that isn't actually lumpy. See that's why I avoid cooking. Sure I can stick the chicken in the oven and take it out when the thirty minutes is up but that's the extent of my cuisine know how.

I stuck it in the fridge since this mix doesn't require any baking at all only the butter if you count melting it. In thirty minutes I took it out and well it didn't look too good. Actually they kind of look like brownies with that look on top if you know what I'm talking about. It sort of has that lumpy look. I'm not sure if you're scratching your head and wondering what in the world is this girl babbling about. I cut them with a knife and they just didn't seem very firm to me so I'm thinking they actually require longer. The directions weren't all that great now that I think about it.

Of course I needed to figure a way to get them out of the pan. I'm thinking maybe you should cut them at the thirty minute mark but instead of taking them out you should just stick them back in the fridge so they are more firm. Yes the firm really helps since parts were a bit goopy still. I took a spatula next and tried to edge them out and finally got them out. Turning the pan over didn't help at all. All that happened were a few bits falling out onto the plate. But I got them out and well it didn't look like fudge you can buy so I probably should just buy it from someone that actually knows what they're doing.

Now on to the second package since I did buy two but I did taste it which of course means no calories since there's that rule about calories not existing if you're tasting while baking or whatever the hell you call what I was doing. I guess stirring or faux baking since there wasn't any actual baking only the melting of the butter. At least those sticks came in handy. I'm sticking with the tubs since they are better for spreading. I decided to try the muffin tins this time with the cupcake liners.

So the second batch could be called fuffins or fuggins or fugins. I think I'll go with fuffins. At least this time they came out looking more smooth so they might actually be edible. Okay the first batch is edible but not very appealing in the looks department since it is lumpy looking. Well that's all the baking I'm doing or faux baking because I'm just all thumbs in the kitchen. There really should be a word for those who are good at cooking and for those who aren't. Green thumb is already taken so maybe Chocolate Apron or something.

I think the library was pretty dead today which is good for me. Of course when I went in and got my books one book refused to be checked out. So I had to go to the counter and there were people ahead of me. The chick there thought I was stupid or something because she went on about the Prospector book. Hello I know how to do it and I know that Fort Collins has the same system as you so any books from there just go down on the glass when I'm checking them out unless I want the alarm to go off. I think she must be new or something.

The third DVD came in which is good. The transit thing is so annoying because you don't know when your item will actually come. So I'll be watching something tonight. I might take a night off from my Nightmareathon since I still have those drabbles to write and seven of them are for season one of Supernatural. Also it wouldn't be so horrible to watch the boy remove his shirt since there are two of those episodes that I require. Hey I'm just trying to continue the challenge I took up and if I enjoy the view what's wrong with that?

Ski Weekend

Ariel and her friends go away for a ski weekend. Her boyfriend decides to go home early so Ariel, Shannon and her boyfriend Doug end up going home with Red a guy that met at the ski lodge. There is a lesson to be learned from this book. Yes I found one so I shall share it with you in case you're dumb enough to go skiing don't pick up some stranger because it just might lead to some major badness. Ariel has a bad feeling and she should have listened to that feeling.

So they leave and Red comes with them since he leaves in Brockton. The irony isn't lost on me since there's two references to an ex best friend of mine but I continued to read since I'm not going to toss aside a book because the name of a person and a town are the same as an ex friend. Of course this is another short book that I'm reading in between other books since I'm now diving into the Blood series by Tanya Huff and since I have a strange way of reading I'll be dipping these in between them.

The road is bad so if you're away for a ski weekend and there's another storm just stay put instead of risking the road because you just might end up getting stuck. Red spots a place so they go there where they meet Lou who is very strange and his wife Eva. Something is just off about these people but you'll just have to read the book to find out what. Lou keeps talking about people he knows that have died and ends up laughing about it which is a serious red flag that you need to get the hell away stat.

Read the book to find out if anyone makes it out alive. See this book totally validates my hate of the snow. Yes I'll admit that I hate the snow. It is cold and icky and no it isn't a Wonderland. Ice shows up where it doesn't belong and you're more prone to falling on your ass. I don't know if it's because I grew up in CA that I'm so anti snow although they have it there but it wasn't near me which is how I like it. I scream or hiss when I see the stuff outside the window because I don't like it one bit and I feel sorry for the poor squirrels too but I'm sure they stay in their trees snacking on acorn cookies and hot cocoa.

Games People Play

Well I'm giving it a try since I was a fan of the first one. I guess there always has to be a bitch and Naomi fits the bill. She catches Evan and Annie making out which isn't the best idea when you're trying to hide the fact that you're seeing each other. So if you're going behind your friend's back with her ex which you shouldn't do don't make out in an empty class room where you can be found. For Pete's sake go in the broom closet or something like Xander and Cordy did.

So she decides to get revenge. Okay I get that but Annie was going to tell her but Naomi pulled a guilt trip on her and hey this is all Ethan's fault since he didn't want Naomi to know. They go shopping where Annie gets a dress for the party. Sneaky Naomi who is less creepy on here than she was on Nip/Tuck ends up bringing Jason to town for a birthday present. Oh Nana you are a perv enjoying the view as he stepped out of the pool. She said something about a mint but I guess I can't blame her for gawking. He didn't look too bad so that wasn't such a bad way to introduce someone by having him in swim trunks.

To make things even funner Naomi makes sure to invite everyone to dinner so she can watch Annie squirm. Payback is a bitch and this girl is one in spades. I wonder who she took lessons from. Jason talks about going to UCLA so he'd be in the area which isn't good if Annie wants a future with Ethan. Then it's party time with Nana getting down with her bad self. I like Tabitha and that's saying something since most of the characters I'm not really liking all that much.

I decided to watch because of Jennie and Shannen but as far as characters go I'm liking Silver the best who of course happens to be Kelly's little sister who they didn't super size too much because she'd be in maybe junior high or the end of the elementary school if you did the math without the super sizing during the original show. Did that make any sense? She wasn't a baby for very long and all of a sudden she was about four or five and blonde but she's not blonde anymore is she? Nope she isn't blonde at all.

Well I am liking Navid too even though that's a odd name. I guess there are odder names out there like those naming their kids after their favorite day of the week. Resist that urge to name your kid after a day of the week. Okay I'll admit that I liked Sunday on Buffy but she was a vampire so I'll forgive the name that one time. Too bad she didn't last because she could have been an interesting character but nope she was dust by the end of the show. Oh where was I? Oh yes Navid and his family. One thing Navid put the camera down dude because a person really will break a camera if provoked and Ryan was provoked getting his life all turned upside down with people thinking he was a perv when he wasn't at all since the girl in question was an undercover cop. His dog is adorable though.

Damn was that the biggest door or what? I swear it looked about twenty feet high. I wonder if it is hard to open since there's so much of it. Maybe giants lived there before Navid's family invaded. I guess if you have that much of your family living together it is best to have a ginormous house and that certainly fit the bill. There were also a lot of cars too. I liked his family and that was cool how they just welcomed Adrianna without being all judgey. I might go back and watch other episodes since I've only watched a few since the time clashes with House so that got booted off my viewing schedule but since there are some repeats I'll watch it and possibly catch up a bit.

Tis The Season Bitch

Yes it's that time of year when people go all crazy and do Christmas shopping or whatever holiday you happen to celebrate. So I thought I'd help anyone out that is still shopping. Here's a list of gifts you might or might not want to get for those nearest and dearest. You could also just treat yourself and screw everyone else but people might think that's very Scroogey of you but it is up to you after all that's your money.

1. Fruitcake: As hard as it may be to believe some people actually like it. I don't know why. It can't decide what it is. Is it a fruit salad with cake added for appeal or what? And why is it hard like a brick? I guess that's why it lasts so long. Worst case scenario you have a handy thing to throw at someone should the need arise.

2. Candy: You can't go wrong with candy. Are there actual people that don't eat the stuff? I can't imagine that so you're pretty safe with this. Sure you might need to be careful just in case someone happens to be allergic to something so check the ingredients first so you don't have to go to the ER on Christmas instead of staying home to watch it.

3. Jewelry: This is a good gift to get and you don't have to spend tons of cash to get something nice. Just make sure you're not getting something that's going to turn the person's finger green or the neck. Sure it might seem nice for the season but do you really want to be entering the new year with a green neck?

4. Socks: Yes we all wear socks but come on this would be a pretty sucky gift to give someone. Give this gift to someone you don't really like but decided to buy a gift anyway just to be nice. Another possibility could be to stuff a pair or two in the Christmas stocking along with a few other items and have a real gift so you won't end up sleeping on the couch because the person was not amused by the brand new socks.

5. Clothes: This isn't a bad gift at all provided you know the size of the person. Come on nothing sucks like opening a gift to find out that the sweater is two sizes too big since the person thinks you're a porker or something. Maybe a gift card to a store would be safer so they could pick what they want.

6. Underwear: Okay this can cover a lot of territory since this could include lingerie too well sort of. Hey I declare it so since it is found in the same area. I don't understand why someone would want to wear a scrape of cloth but hey if you feel like freezing your ass off go for it. Okay I might consider it if a certain Winchester stopped by but I'd have to make sure I shaved. Don't forget to shave because nothing sucks the sexy out like furry legs and pits. And you can make sure to get the right size by peeking in the underwear drawer. Just make sure no one is around so no one accuses you of being a big old perv.

7. Gift Card: This is probably your best bet because you don't have to worry about the person not liking it. This doesn't just show that you waited until the last minute although it just might since you could be getting it at the last minute. This shows you care because you don't want to make the person go back to the store and wait in that long ass line that always occurs when people get crappy gifts. So save the person the trouble and get a gift card. A good choice would be the credit card one since that allows you to purchase stuff anywhere you want. Only go with a store if you know for sure they actually like the store. Don't get a Home Depot gift card if the person doesn't know a hammer from a wrench.

A lot of baking goes on during this time of year too. If you're more likely to burn the kitchen down go to the store or Marie Callender's for your pie. I think that's how she spells it. Hell you could get a pie at Costco too and it's bigger which means you can squirrel away more pie for yourself. Yes make sure to hide some away so other people don't end up eating the pie before you even get a chance to have one slice. I suggest hiding it in the fridge outside if you have one in the garage. Hell with the weather being this cold you could probably stick it in the backyard but there's the chance that a squirrel might eat it before you get to. There was Xander who ate the pumpkin that one year and he did enjoy it.

I did post a crackfic today over at the website and I also added some videos. I have another drabble in progress that I'll post when I have done. Also I think I might have another idea swirling in my head so I might end up writing something else. I'm going to try to work on something that I've already started. I also need to get paper and another notebook since the notebook is on its last legs. I'll just have to consult my muse to see if she'll inspire me and I just might watch another movie in my Nightmareathon or ooh maybe some gay vampires. No I won't be watching anything holiday related since I'm not a fan of this time of year except for presents of course. Who doesn't like this? Okay maybe if they suck.

Sunburn

Okay I'm going to jump out on a limb here and say that the perfect tan would not come with a sunburn. Marla invites her three friends from Camp Full Moon. The name of that camp amuses me but I went to Camp Hi Hill which isn't exactly the best name either. Man I hated that one dude who was just mean. It appears to be an accident that Claudia was left buried in the sand where her face ended up badly burned. Let this be a warning that you shouldn't allow yourself to be buried and for Pete's sake don't fall asleep.

Things happen that just can't be accidents. Come on like a worm is just going to end up on the salad by accident or the leeches ending up on arms. Something is wonky at this house. It turns out that at camp Alison who just so happens to be Marla's sister ends up falling from a log when she was trying to cross the gorge. Here's a thought don't do that since you might fall. It seems like someone is out for revenge but who is doing this. Is Marla behind all the crazy which includes another animal death or is it someone else? Also who is the mystery guy that keeps turning up? Is he really Ghost Boy or someone else?

I Take You Not

Yes I watched and whoa what a surprise that was. That was pretty uncomfortable when Heidi and Lauren were reunited like that. It makes sense since they have talked to each other in a really long time. So to break the ice you just ask the person if they've been working out. What does Lauren think she's hiding anyway? I don't see anything hidden did you? It certainly helped that she had some liquid courage with her to help her out during that.

Well Spencer certainly shocked me since he was so very quiet when Heidi and Darlene were talking. That was so unlike him. I expected him to jump up and say something stupid which is what I've come to except from him but he was pretty low key. Of course she's going to be upset because she wants to be their on her daughter's wedding day. Some people actually like their families so they want them to share that special day. Okay maybe she got over the princess thing but come on of course she wants that fairytale wedding.

She so didn't like too happy when she went to city hall to get married. Heidi looked like she was going to cry so I felt bad for her even though I don't really like her. I think it's because she reminds me of something but it's not like I formed a We Hate Heidi Club since I haven't. She even had to go to the bathroom where she just might have taken a swig of some liquid courage so she'd be able to go through with it even though she really didn't want to. Okay I'm guessing about that but come on I can't be the only one to have that thought.

So Spencer actually did something nice and thought about someone else besides him for a change. Heidi said her vows but when it was Spencer's turn he didn't say anything right away. I certainly didn't expect that because this is the same guy that got Heidi drunk and talked her into marrying him in Mexico even though it wasn't legal. No marriage yet so maybe there's hope for the boob after all.

Now if only he'd get over this whole crazy feud thing which is just insane. Come on this guy broke up with his best friend over it and I have no idea what happened. Did they ever explain anything? Was he just so damn insecure that he wanted Heidi to himself and drove away her best friend? That would just be insane if I started to like him since I've never liked him. I've always thought of him as a total jackass. Well he is but he wasn't so much this time. Well I guess even a jackass has his non jackass days and this would be one of them.

I decided to count to see how many times Justin Bobby called Audrina dude and got five. He looked funny riding or would it be driving? I guess driving since it does have a motor and doesn't involve pedaling although it does have pedals or at least a pedal right? How the hell should I know but I think it has at least one? The bars were up high and Audrina was towering over him. It just looked very awkward to me but he did look good in the overalls. Maybe Dean could wear something like that. Yes I had to go there after all he'll be sporting gym shorts which reminds me I do have that drabble to write.

Ghost Sickness

Okay I think I just might have ghost sickness because I have this itch on my arm. I don' know what's causing the itch but it was driving me nuts so I covered it so I could resist the urge to scratch. If I start jumping at every little noise I'll know for sure that I have ghost sickness for sure. I wonder if my skin doesn't like the new Woolite I'm using but that doesn't make sense because I always use Woolite. Sure this time it is a different flavor but the thing is still Woolite. It would explain the itching I suppose and in odd places too. Why it would itch in that place I have no idea.

I did get a few things written that I've posted over at my website. Things have been going wonky over there so I'm wondering if that's why there never seems to be anything going on over there. The place is full of complaints but I decided not to do that since there are plenty of people bitching about the problems. Sure I can understand why someone would bitch when things don't work but I'm guessing that won't get things fixed any quicker. Wow was I just nice about something? I did decide that I won't even consider taking the next time and getting a domain for the website until these problems are fixed since it is insane that the time zone has been wrong for months at this point.

I was thinking about changing the time zone since it seems to think I am living in the east coast time zone when I'm not. Nope I'm stuck in the lamest of all time zones which would be mountain for those of you who aren't aware of which one is lame. Well now you know so you learned something for the day. Nothing was ever done about that but since I have the forum up at least for the time being it would be nice if it said the right time any time I posted. Right now it turns up two hours ahead of the actual time. Is that really such a hard thing to fix? I'd have to think about which time zone would show the right time. Maybe I could switch to east coast and see what happens. Knowing my luck it would show up as Pacific instead.

So if you do go over to my website and encounter problems that isn't my fault so please come back and try again since it isn't always working the way it should be. That makes for a very cranky bunch of people which of course includes me. They keep fixing things that are already working although I do like the changes they made to the blog although it would have been handier if they allowed importing but alas no. I'm checking the blog out and noticed that it allows members of my website to post there also. I might have that for babbling about TV shows but it might be a bit of a pain moving posts over there so I'm not 100% sure that I'll end up keeping it.

I got this email which I find odd because why would I want 100 boxes of Cheerios? Would they all be sent together? I have nothing against Cheerios and I've eaten them like many people have but 100 boxes is just too much for me. If you put in your zip code it takes you to a question about chicken of all things. If you read this blog you'll notice that I've been keeping a chicken count so that did amuse me. Sadly most of the time these things just lead to a big pain in the ass so I don't even bother with them. I really couldn't answer the question since I haven't tried all three of the chicken sandwiches mentioned. So I guess I won't be getting those Cheerios after all unless I get some at the store. Why not since they now have ones that are like Froot Loops? They are such copy cats.

I just don't understand why the Cinnamon Frosted Flakes just up and disappeared. They had them for a while and then they were just gone. Was I the only one that actually liked them? They were in a brown box and I know I didn't imagine them because I actually ate them. They looked like the regular Frosted Flakes but in a brown box and they had cinnamon on them. I'd like to get some but I guess they don't make them. Hell for all I know they've been banned from the state. I've noticed other things go missing and in the case of Sara Lee the white bread has been horrible which forced me to switch breads. I only went to Sara because they stopped making Pillsbury bread. It was quite tasty but alas they don't have it anymore either.

A Stroke Of Midnight

PhotobucketWell I'm almost done with this book and I suggest you go back to the first book before diving into the world of Merry and the land of faerie. Hey that sort of rhymed. Any rhyming is strictly accidental. Merry is back home in the Unseelie Court in her quest to get pregnant and become the next queen. This is good for her because her cousin Prince Cel is out of commission for the time being which you'd know if you read the other books in the series. Will she get pregnant and by who? They have a different way of doing things so she essentially has a harem of men and the one that gets her pregnant wins.

Of course Merry is still in danger and yes there are more assassination attempts and they aren't always directed towards Merry. Because she happens to be part human many of the sidhe think she won't make a fit ruler. Merry has shown that she just isn't some mere mortal. Things get quite sticky when two murders happen and one of them happens to be a sidhe which just shouldn't happen after all they are immortal. So if you enjoy fantasy this would be a great book for you to pick up once you've finished the others first of course. And yes there is some steamy parts too so don't worry about that.

What Holly Heard

Holly just loves her gossip and in this town it turns quite deadly after Holly hears someone talking about killing their mother. She ends up telling her two best friends Miriam and Ruth about it. Things get really dicey when the mother actually ends up dead and later more death awaits so this gossip girl is silenced forever. What really happened? Did the girl really kill her mother? Or did her boyfriend?

It isn't good when you find your best friend dead which leads to Miriam wondering if the guy and girl actually killed the girl's mother and then killed Holly to shut her up but with Miriam and Ruth also knowing the secret are they next on the hit list. Yes once again death happens since this seems to be a place full of it. Oh why did poor animals have to suffer once again. Wasn't it bad enough that two dogs got murdered during The Stepsister and The Stepsister 2.

Of course this is just a quickie read from the master of strange and disturbing. I do have to wonder what the deal is with RL and animals. This is a town no one should live in with all these deaths so stay away from Shadyside unless you dare to risk ending up a psycho killer or your friend turning into one. Stay tuned for next time because there are more on the way since I seem to be in the Fear Street zone.

Boo Hiss Cold!

I got an email which happens for pretty much everyone unless you're living in a rock. I come close but I'm not quite in a rock but I am underground. I wonder if that's why I get cold. No that doesn't explain it since I've always been that way even when I lived in the land of no freakishly and unnatural cold weather place that sucks the big one. Whoops I was trying to avoid a weather rant but as rants go they really isn't much of one is it?

It was about a book so instead of saying yes send me the book I went to the card catalog of the crappy ass library that I have the misfortune to live near. It turns out they have the book. Sure there are forty-nine people ahead of me but that's what Prospector is for. So I have it on hold at both locations. That is the only thing handy about the place along with being able to go to the website and picking which books I want since I can't figure out a place that doesn't think it's a good idea to shelve books. How they find anything is beyond me because the book that claims to be in the one library could be in the book mobile for all they know. I've never seen it but it is supposed to exist. Maybe it only comes out at night or something.

Since it is a book I'll likely end up mentioning it when I finally do get it and actually decide to read it. Maybe there will be some mocking thrown in as a bonus so you'll just have to stay tuned. Right now my lips are sealed and yes I use Chapstick. I hope it isn't a big letdown since it seems to be magical in nature because it promises well you'll just have to stick around to see won't you? Maybe you got the same email but I'm not saying anything or rather typing any clues. It would be nice if the thing was as advertised. Sadly things aren't always that way so now I'm a little worried about something because it really isn't a good sign when you order something only to find out that the place is now gone but supposedly your item has been mailed.

I'm still thinking about the coffin purse since I do need a purse and why not a coffin purse. Since I'm a person that likes to get a good deal I'll search around until I find the same thing at a lower price. Some of them are quite pricey and often I'm seeing the exact same purse for different prices so my quest is to find the best deal I can. The place with the wooden ones just baffle me a bit. Wouldn't I get a splinter if I went around with a wooden purse? Knowing my luck I'd end up slicing my finger or something when I got it and opened the thing up. I'd have to have protective gear on to make sure it was safe. Hell I'm the girl that got bit with that stupid Club thing. Do you remember those thing? You put them on the steering wheel of the car.

There is a website that shows you how to make a coffin purse with a Froot Loops box. Does it have to be a Froot Loops box? Now I like Froot Loops but I don't actually have any right now so do I have to wait until I get some before I could attempt making this purse? Now I'm crappy at drawing things so could I find a coffin pattern somewhere? I guess it might be a cute idea if you want to make a box shaped like a coffin for a present since you might know someone that has a Halloween birthday or someone that thinks Halloween is every day. Why not since that's a much better holiday? They should have Halloween gifts but that's just me.

I'm just not sure how good a cereal box would be in making a purse. It would be all right if you're using it as a gift box. I guess you could practice and move on to something a little more sturdier. But I just thought of something the weather will wreak havoc on the purse if it rains or even worse snows. That would turn the thing to mush much like cookies or donuts that get dipped. I never will understand those of you who dip things. There are even instructions on these Oreos about which end to dip the cookie in. I don't dip so I don't need dipping instructions. Is it really all that hard to dip anyway?

It Doesn't Count

Tis the season when people worry about gaining so I thought I'd share a few things you might want to know all in fun of course so don't actually take me seriously unless you're really stupid. Now where was I? Oh yes on to the list.

1. If you eat a Hershey's Kiss while you're unwrapping another one there aren't any calories. There also aren't any calories in the ones you're unwrapping as long as you keep unwrapping them and setting them aside before you eat them.

2. If you drop something on the floor and pick it up within the ten second rule it loses all its calories.

3. If you have your period and end up eating a bag of candy or a bag of chips the calories don't count since they just go away after all it's your period and there's a lot of flowing going on if you know what I mean. Be grateful guys that you don't have to deal with that crap each month.

4. If you eat pie out of the pie tin it loses all its calories. Of course not eating the crust knocks of a 100 calories. (That one is actually true.)

5. If you're baking cookies any cookie dough consumed during that has no calories.

6. If you make pancakes or waffles for someone else your waffles or pancakes have no calories.

7. If you have an even number of cookies like four it loses all its calories but be careful about odd numbers since they add calories.

8. Brownies only have calories if you put frosting on them. To lose calories put them in cupcake liners but be warned that crownies are a bitch to unwrap so shop around for good cupcake liners.

9. If you eat a muffin bottom first the muffin loses all its calories.

10. If you drink milk with your cookies the calories are voided out since the milk cancels out the cookie calories.

11. If you're eating Oreos or another cookie that has a filling in between two cookies open them and eat one side at a time to lose all of the calories.

12. If others are eating your pie they take your calories.

Well that's all I can think of right now. Who knows I might actually come back with more if my brain comes back. Yes it has gone missing again but I'm managing as best I can. I am thinking about placing an add on Craigslist to see if someone has seen it. Hopefully it will come back to help me figure out that stupid thing I need to figure out otherwise a potentially good opportunity is going to pass me by. One Nightmare movie watched and seven to go so the Nightmareathon continues.

Ball And Chain

It so isn't good that Sam found that engagement ring but if there was someone special around where the hell is she? So I say forget about this mystery person and remember that you're Jim. Poor Melinda of course can't tell him and I didn't like it when he said that she didn't want to know because we so want to know what he's up to. Did that make sense? I think it did but who knows. Also don't go around standing up your Farmer's Market date because that's just rude.

Poor Melinda can't even do a little shopping without some ghost turning up. Tammy has no clue that she's dead so Melinda buys her some apples. I didn't know ghosts could cook. What was she planning to do with those apples make a pie? Of course pie was mentioned since pie has been stalking me and of course that makes me think of a certain Winchester. What like I'm the only one that associates him with pie? I kind of doubt that. She keeps knocking over the apples and wonders why no one is paying attention to her. So if you ever find yourself getting ignored by people you just might be dead.

As usual Melinda does her thing and goes to Tammy's husband but hello he's married to someone else and damn she looks familiar but from what I have no idea. If you know let me know so it doesn't drive me nuts. He makes it seem like Tammy's all crazy but something was just off. If he didn't know where she was how did he get the divorce so he could marry the new girl? I seem to be the only one to catch that since Melinda didn't and it wouldn't matter if I tried to tell her since she wouldn't pay attention to me. I'd have to start worrying if the TV did start talking back to me.

Melinda gets Eli to help her out so he goes hiking where he finds the car. It sounded a bit crazy when she described colors in the air and falling asleep. Of course she didn't want to believe it was her in the car and it looks like a suicide. Eli seems to think he's going to get arrested for revealing locations of dead bodies but nope he wasn't arrested by the chick who was on Port Charles as I believe Gaby. It turns out this chick has two names. It was a bit confusing because she would mention Roger who got remarried and kids which didn't live with him. It turns out that there was another guy with two kids she was married too.

Anyhoo it turns out that Roger isn't such a great guy after all since he kidnapped poor Sarah and turned her into Tammy. He locked her up under the floor which is where he was keeping his current wife. He decided Tammy wasn't working out since she started hiding something from him. She saw a picture of her kid in the paper and of course couldn't help but look at it missing him. Talk about evil keeping someone hostage and using her loved ones to do it otherwise he'd kill them. At least the other chick got reunited with her family and the real husband got to say good bye. Of course there was some teariness. I don't think it is possible to get through an episode of the show without some tears being shed.

Scream, Jennifer Scream!

Only 126 pages so this would be a really quick read. Yes this is another odd tale from Fear Street. Shelli and her friends decide to cheat on their prep test. I'm thinking that's something like the SATs. Jennifer decides to confess to cheating because she can't go through with it but the others aren't too thrilled about that so someone suggests that they kill Jennifer. They write numbers down and the person with the highest numbers ends up going after Jennifer. Sounds simple right?

Something goes wrong and the person dies instead. Things get even odder when another friend falls out of the window. Jennifer reveals that she knows about them trying to kill them and that she's going to kill them off one by one which includes her best friend Shelli who was reluctant about the whole idea although she didn't try to warn Jennifer about the first attempt. So who survives until the very end? Does Jennifer end up dying or is she the last one standing? There is a really interesting twist that just might surprise you when you reach the end of the book.
