6:39PM - Christmas/Holiday cards

It's that time of year again!

I'm sending out cards again this year, so if you'd like one just leave your name & address in the comments (all comments are screened).

Also, even if you receive a card from me every year please leave a comment anyway just to be sure I have your correct address :)

11:26AM - Fav. funny christmas song + 10th Doctor = Brillant!

2:24PM - Writer's Block: If these walls could talk

I would totally buy the home of my dreams if someone was brutally murdered there! But I wouldn't live in it rent-free.

11:48AM

Okay... I'm pretty lazy and haven't really updated this thing in a long while. So here it goes:

-I unfortunatly did not get the promotion, but a friend of mine did.
-I am still obsessed with the 10th Doctor! David Tennent is brillant!
-I have rekindled my love for my SNES and have spent the majority of the time I was sick, playing Donkey Kong Country 3.
-My voice has come back!
-My shindig went very well and ended up in a mass body art explosion...
-An LJ friend that I met in real life appearently has known me for far longer than I thought... like, I was 5! And she's apparently on my sister's facebook page because they're online friends too. And apparently my Ma used to work with her dad... And we used to live in the same neighborhood! And we just found all this out last night.

-And I need your help! I'm making a Winter/Christmas cd... but I'm leaning towards a specific mood... and I'm having trouble figuring out what that mood is. But anyways, here are the songs that I have so far:
Tori Amos - Winter
Feist - Mushaboom
Josh Radin - Winter
Sara Boreilles and Ingrid Michaelson - Winter Song
Steve Miller Band - Winter Time
Smashing Pumpkins - Christmas Time
Gwen Stefani - Early Winter
John Williams - Carol of the Bells
Bing and DAvid Bowie - Little Drummer Boy
Juan Atkins - Snowflakes Falling
Everything but the Girl - 25th December

2:20PM

These things I know...
1. Having no voice what-so-ever sucks!
2. People do not take the time to read lips or watch as I try to charade whatever it is I'm trying to say.
3. Dan is going to have to host tomorrow's get-together.

12:41PM - Steampunk!!

Hope you all have a great Halloween!!!

8:26AM - Gotta love Space Cowboys!!

10:44AM - Pumpkins!!

It's been a few days since I've been on here... probably because I've been working and teaching and taking care of Gram pretty much non-stop! Anyways, the other day Danwith and I carved up some pumpkins for Halloween! Mine is the big eyed, big mouth one... and Dan's is Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes!

7:58AM - Writer's Block: Nothing to fear but fear itself

I don't like bees. I have tried to overcome this fear. I spent a whole summer trying to get stung so that I would see it was no big deal. It's not really the bees that bother me though... it's the buzzing noise they make! I find that if I say "I'm not a flower!" to a bee I think it will leave me alone... logical? Nope. But it works.

I'm not a fan of elevators. But if I get nervous I just go over what to do if the cable snaps... (flatten against the floor and spread out as much as you can... you have a greater chance of survival that way)

I hate tornados. I can generally get over tornado anxiety by locating safe areas in which to hide if a tornado comes. I also watch the news before I go to bed if the weather's bad to see if any tornado watches exist.

I get nervous at night if I don't check to make sure I locked the front door. I'm not worried about burgalars or anything like that. I'm worried about people I know walking in!

7:49AM - Someone Broke the Internet!

Hey Guys,
Sorry I haven't been online in a few days... but I think someone kind of broke the internet! I wasn't able to get on, my Ma was unable to get online anywhere that wifi was available, my friend Jess couldn't get online in Arizona and my brother couldn't get online in Florida!!

I've learned that I am severly addicted to the internet... three days without it is way too long!

7:53AM - What cat's are really thinking.... :)

8:23AM - Nathan Fillion - Nailing Your Wife!

7:59AM

Okay... Ma's leg is getting much better.
Gram's still scrambled, but that's to be expected.
Work is fun, but exhausting!
I'm trying to sign up for subbing... waiting to hear back from them.
I cannot call out at the moment, but incoming calls are still getting through.
Ma bought me pretty shoes because she's tired of seeing me work in work boots.
Super poor at the moment. And I apologize to all my pen-pals out there! I'm trying to save up enough money for postage!!

I think that's it.

5:49PM - Um.... okay....

3:06PM - True Blood Promo...

11:39AM - Writer's Block: Finders keepers?

I would keep it. Sorry.
If it was a check or money order or debit card or credit card I would return it... but cold hard cash? Nope... that would be pocketed in a heartbeat!

8:43AM - Ego Day! Stolen from wbahner

We are now, officially, kicking off Ego Day!!

The rules are simple:

Post a picture of yourself. Then, go look at the other pictures and say lovely things. Nothing to it. Sometimes we all just need a little reminder how beautiful we are.

Just remember, be respectful.

Let's get a ton of participation, ya hear?? :)

And, as it should be, I'll get it going.... :)

10:39AM

Yesturday Danwith and I piled some stuff in his car and headed somewhere West... destination unknown to me. He said we might go to the beach, so I snagged beach stuff. We didn't really go to the beach... although water was involved. We ended up, after a wonderful drive through scary woods accompanied by banjo music, in a little place called WhiteHall that's nestled on the opposite side of WhiteHall Lake which is connected to Lake Michigan. We walked around the town, tried some Chinese and then ended up at this super cute 90+ year old play house where we saw Jo Serrapere and the Willie Dunns!!! I haven't seen them in forever!!

The Playlist:
1. Gothem Hotel
2. Floorshow
3. Unbreak my Heart
4. Satisfied
5. I Suppose
6. Jeasus Wears Red
7. Rise up Bones
8. Love Gone South
9. Walking Blues
10. Nobody's Business
11. I Will
12. I Swoon
13. Palm Beach Girl
14. 44 Blues

It always amazes me... how they are famous and consider me a friend! I'm all fangirling out and they are all "hey want to hang out with us after the show?" !!! But it was (originally) a two hour drive to get there... and Danwith and I sort of got turned around in the backwoods so that although we left at like 10pm, we didn't get home until 3am! So I'm glad I had to decline. We're going to see them soon anyways for their CD release party so all is good.

11:36AM

One of my paintings is in a music video!
I did the clown painting in the room... upper left corner :) The camera sort of zooms in on it at one point... it looks better in color btw.
