so i was going to post to my journal earlier, but lj has been down for a few days to the best of my knowledge. the main point i'm trying to make is that i tried... i tried to blog for you guys. i've been reading, doing homework and working a little on cosplay for the past two days since i have sunday and monday off. i have discovered that frog tape doesn't stick to rubber latex, and neither does any other tape. so i was a little fucked on the lilith wings. i'll have to paint them by hand which is a huge pain in the ass. esp since i already bought the blue spray paint. i'm hoping i can find the receipt and return it. can't use spray paint if i can't tape off the parts i don't want blue. shit sucks. so all i ended up doing was priming with white so i can paint it later. maybe i'll try and pick up the right paint on wednesday. i was going to do it today, but i got busy with studying and watching star trek. ✄----------------------------------------------------------- this weekend the main thing i had to prep for was an in class essay on sirius. this sci-fi book i had to read for engl lit. basically we were given the perimeters. 2 hrs, 500-700 words, develop a thesis around either of the topics given. the topic i chose was basically that sirius wasn't a sci-fi novel. that it was just a relationship novel glossed over with the barest hint of sci-fi. the thesis i created addressed the fact that most of the themes in the book are portrayed through the character's personal relationships and not through scientific discovery. but all this is boring to people who have never read this book XP my main issue was trying to fit 3 pages of notes on essay structure, book quotations, my thesis, and outlining the 3 arguments, into a 3"x5" index card. lame i know, but luckily i write small. i even included the MLA citation just in case, since i never know with this prof. next semester, or whenever it's available i'm kinda convinced i want to take the children's lit course. i think it'd be fun. ✄----------------------------------------------------------- on friday, momo and i just sat and wanted a bunch of movies most of the night. 'the swell season','my week with marilyn', and 'the descendants.' they were all pretty good. then later i watched 'the man-ster'. i like it when we just sit and watch movies rather than watching tv. for 1, i don't really like tv and tend not to watch it unless it's criminal minds, grimm or project runway. usually i read instead, or i wander off. and 2, because watching movies with my mom is easier than with my dad. i like movies, but dad's super picky and will usually pick the most retarded movies ever. i think his last enlightening tale was 'machete.' kind of brings a tear to my eye. of sorrow, not of pride. the next night i also watched 'waiting' and 'percy jackson and the olympians; the lightning theif.' i've seen both, but i like percy jackson and waiting i haven't seen since it came out. plus the news that nathan fillion's going to be in the next percy jackson makes me extremely happy. i do love me some nathan fillion. watching that movie always makes me want to start on the books though, even though they're for kids :P watched the lorax tonight. though missed the first 15-20 mins because i was seated in the wrong theater :C was sad about that, but i still liked it. i like the bears ✄----------------------------------------------------------- sooo, it's something i've addressed in the past, but i still don't get it. people are always shocked when they find out i read. and by read, i mean a lot. i usually finish around one or two books a week depending on their length and how much hw i have from classes. or i tend to be a bit slower when i don't really find the book that interesting. but anyway, for books that i read freely, i read many. and generally from several different genres, though sci-fi is by far my favorite. i read classics to trash, it doesn't really matter to me as long as i like it. but people are still seemingly shocked when they find out i've read something. really? like really really? i've been this way since prolly before highschool. i read a shit ton, and i do so very quickly. i finished the millenium series in less than two weeks. shock and awe people, is all i can say. ✄----------------------------------------------------------- i want to murder the lilith costume, it's causing me so much stress. if worse comes to worse, maybe she-ra will be done by then. if the wig arrives in time. so i can wear that to sakura. though that'll make it two years in a row i wore a western styled cosplay instead of anime or videogames.... all well. ✄----------------------------------------------------------- updated the groove list. currently i'm not sure which book to dl. 'the hunger games' or 'brave new world.' i'll end up reading both, so i suppose it doesn't matter. i finished 'fair game' and it was awesome. just makes me crave more. new nalini singh comes out may 29th. can't wait!

soooo today was my first wednesday off. it's part of my new schedule that i get wednesday, sunday and monday off now. i don't mind too much. so my plan was that i would sleep, do the reading for feminism class, tweek my annotated bibliography (put it in alphabetical order etc.), then finish off sirius since i'm already supposed to be on lady in the lake for lit class. i wrote the test for sirius and got like 18/20, lol but i still haven't finished the book. bad me XD
so anyway, i discover that my dad actually has weds off too. this ends up being horrible. people who know me, know i have a really hard time sleeping. it's why i'm up most of the night even though i have work in the morn. so anyway, first he wakes me up to go pick pkgs up from the post office before i 'go to work.' i inform him i don't work that day.... no big deal. thanks for looking out for me daddo, you know in case the alarm didn't go off or something. this is at like 8 in the morn. i go back to bed. and hr later he starts calling out for me. he wants me to do the dusting right then so he can wash the floors later. something he doesn't end up doing anyway. now this is when i get a little ticked. i can't sleep during my work days because i'm at work during the morning, going to class at night. up most of the late night because of insomnia... shit sucks balls. i use my days off to kind of catch up. esp recently because i've been so stressed. so i get a little pissed about this whole dusting at 9 in the morn thing. i get up, i do it, i go back to bed. HE WAKES ME UP AGAIN! starts yelling out from down the hall, when am i going to the post office. he wants me to pick up food. i ignore him at first, and try to go back to sleep. but he keeps fucking around and yelling about mcdonald's, finally he goes in my room and is talking about fucking shit all, i yell at him to fuck off! that i'm tired and to get the hell out. he gets pissy, asking where all this is coming from, and i'm basically like 'you've been waking me up all fucking morning. leave me alone. are you bored or something?' i was really pissed off, and he does it all the time. when me and him are home, and my mom's not there, he will do this constantly. i seriously think he just gets bored.
my mom kind of understands since she had problems sleeping too. that when i have a day off, and if i actually am sleeping, to leave me the hell alone so i can get some rest and not be a bitch for the rest of the week. but my dad just fucks around and thinks that if he's up, everyone should be up. it's fucking retarded. he goes to bed at 10pm, and is snoring in seconds. i wish i could do that :C then he gets all pissy and pretends he doesn't understand when people get pissed at him. and by people, i mean momo and myself. it's like, he's lived with this for years, he can see that i'm exhausted, he just chooses to fucking ignore it. and then wonders why i'm such a bitch if he tries to wake me up. this is why my cat is my favorite member of my family.
so i had WSGR tonight. i just drove straight there rather than skytraining it since my class is at 7 and you don't have to pay for parking after 6. handed in my annotated bibliography. i think i did well, i was just kind of confused how i should word the thesis question. so i kind of flip flopped on that. but i'm glad it's over with. returned all my research books. got the guidelines for the next major assignment for that class. i haven't even read it. i don't know when it's due... yeah. i am so on the ball, but i just don't give two shits right now.
getting very stressed with the amount of work i have left to do before sakuracon. also stressed about other things, but i'm not going to talk about them since i don't know if it's actually something to stress over, or just me being paranoid. last creative writing class, she actually told us that our assignment 4's, for me the euphoria story, is actually going to be given to a local author for review. i'm a little bummed i didn't know that before hand, since i like the ghost story so much better. euphoria is just like an acid trip. whatevs.
fair game, the new alpha and omega novel by patricia briggs came out on the 6th. i'm very tempted to start reading it, i have it dl'd on my kindle, but i know once i start, i won't stop till i'm done. and i have so much shit to read for english lit :P laaaame. i want to read fun stories. it's like have a craving for cake when you're diabetic.
i think i'm slowly becoming part machine. I finished a 415 page book in less than two days. that's pretty ridiculous as far as i'm concerned. but i knew my reading rate was high when i finished the girl with the dragon tattoo in about 4 days, and while only reading it at work. as it is today... my book, the latest in the psy-changling series by nalini singh arrived yesterday after i got off work. i drove down and picked it up, the proceeded to read. i finished it today. now i am sad. it was a really good book. god i love that series, and this one involved one of my more favorite characters from it. Hawke ♥
really ths is just a check in to let people know i'm not dead. just burned out from all the work i've been doing. but my bank account appreciates it. i constantly worry about how long it'll last, since it just seems that there doesn't seem to be enough business for them to afford me. it's wierd, but i'll milk it while it lasts i guess. maybe they're selling drugs, and that's how they make their real profit! one can dream... on a plus side it's enabled me to be able to go and visit my sister for the first time in like 3 years or more. this makes me happy, and i'm much looking forward to my little 2 week vacation to hicksville virginia, where the best wife is your cousin. XD
leaving at the end of the month. updated the groove list.

hey all. so it's saturday, and that means the first day of my weekend off. it was nice to just lay in bed, and finally sleep. sleep is getting more and more difficult lately. i've been getting really bad headaches, so i've been popping more of my dad's pills than i probably should. i try and do it when no one is watching, i don't want the questions. thinking about going to the doctor, but also avoiding it. if it doesn't go away, i guess i'll have to. problem is i think he might chalk it all up to my jaw hurting, and send me to see the dentist. i'm scared shitless of dentists. i haven't been since i was 19, not that it shows. i have perfect looking teeth. besides that, i can't afford it. i guess one more thing to add to the list of pros to working for transit.
been reading a lot. i got the new nalini singh, and i've been tearing through it. unfortunately i can't find my copy of 'branded by fire.' i skipped over two books in the series since the characters she used just didn't interest me. i might go back and read them if i get bored. so far from reading the newest one i didn't miss much it would seem. next new one comes out in june apparently. i don't know why i'm talking about this.
maybe going shopping with izzy tody. i'm looking forward to it. hopefully she can get me out of this slump i've been in. i guess i just have a bad case of the 'holiday sad.' i'm not sure if that's a real condition, but i have it so i'm just going to pretend it is. cards and gifts are welcome for my recovery but not necessary.
i should be using this time to make a new cb. or pick up that package that's waiting at the post office for me. i think it's prolly a wig i ordered. might be a christmas costume for the xmas themed shoot i decided to do on a whim. i'm not sure...

good day to you people. what have i been up too? well i finally got a time card for wow, so i've been playing again. it's fun. a great time waster. been kicking some ass with it. leveling and got a few good drops yesterday. like a new wand and bracers... terribly exciting i know.
i've also been reading this book ness lent me. it's called 'into the highland mist,' by karen marie moning. it's terribly/wonderfully porny i must say. certainly an amusing read. i have about a quarter left to finish, but ness has the whole series. so we'll be trading back and forth for these ones and my psy-changling series.
speaking of which the new one by nalini singh comes out next month. i already have my pre-order done. i'm excited, even if i still haven't finished the last one... guess i just didn't like the devraj character much. even more importantly, eclipse comes out soon so i wanted to finish that book finally.
went to john's rock star staff party. after wards we went to some bonfire for this girl who was having her birthday. john got like falling down drunk, and i will say it wasn't something i found endearing. it was awkward and i disliked drunk john immensely. most people know i don't drink really. i hardly ever do since i don't like myself much when i do. also i'm a control freak, and i can't control myself when i drink. well all that and i'm a horny drunk. which makes for awkward mornings after.
books like these make me miss having 'friends with benefits.' nothing like a good romp after a read i think... but now it's all healthy committed relationships. losers... relationships are for suckers. plus they're fucking hard. updated the groove list.
yep yep, nikki's still here. we got sushi and went to costco today. i love costco, so many free samples &hearts' i found a great salad dressing. ranch dill i think it's called. it's nice to try another, considerring i'm so picky with salad dressing. i don't like a lot of it. i tend to stick to my yogurt ranch. mmm which is great with spinach salad. soooo good, so many mushrooms. it was so wierd. i giess since mikki and the kids are here, we decided to celebrate and actually make dinner. it was a bit off since we made pot roast and neither my mother, nor myself eat beef. so i filled up on spetchula (sp?) and spinach salad. delicious.
i found out today that both trublood and the new nalini singh book, bonds of justice, are coming out in july. i am so very pleased. july is certainly shaping up to be an exciting month! updated the groove list since i hadn't in so long :C back to work tomorrow. sad news... but on the other hand. i got a call from eb today to tell me that my ff13 copy i pre-ordered can be picked up tomorrow.
i feel awesome, but less awesome than rob. so i woke up super early, and was all like 'fuck you life, not getting up.' and proceeded to lay there and stare at the ceiling for an hour and a half. it was cool. then it got super hot so i couldn't stand being in bed anymore. i talked to rob a bit before he left. then went and began to clean a little. at least make sure all my gross stuff was hidden. like dirty underwear and the like.
i got dressed and got myself all prettied up. then went to leave, since i had to hit up the bank. originally i was planning to leave the house around 12 since i needed to go into maple ridge before moving off to pick up rob around 3 pm in chilliwack. well i end up leaving late because i'm cool... i only assume this of course. so i'm headed out at like 1-1:30ish. which is very late... then i notice i've gotten like 3 txts from rob. turns out he was a dummy and went by his itinerary's time, instead of the time on his bus ticket. he missed his bus by like 45mins. they have another bus, but it's at 2:30. so he's actually not going to be in till around 5:30. lame. but it allowed me time to go into town and get all my shit done....
shit i had to do? well pick up new stockings for my legs... the ones i wore in seattle were trashed by the time we were done. i mainly wear them to cover up the bruises. i have gay ass bruises on my legs. buy breaking dawn. i didn't read any of eclipse yesterday, but the day before that i did nothing else since i was off. i have about 1/3rd left of it. so i decided to pick up the last book so i don't have to wait to start it. i realize i'm a fast reader when i get into it. while i was at the bookstore i also picked up the new nalini singh. it's not a part of the psy/changling series i adore so much. but a new series she's starting. so i picked it up, and yep.... looks like literary porn like the rest of her books. i also had to go to the bank and deposit my paycheck. as well as get rid of my jar of riches. i.e. the vase of loose change that i fill mostly with my tips from work when i work kitchen. i had $147.39 in there.
last night i stopped by london drugs, and bought a fuck load of make up. i was rather pleased with myself. i got new body glitter powder stuff, gloss, glitter eye liner, and lipstick. i also picked up some hair dye, since i was in need of a touch up, which i did last night ♥
so i got all my shit done in town, and am now back home waiting for 4 roll around so i can go and grab the boy, and drag him back here. since i haven't packed, and refuse to till i've picked him up. it's his punishment for being dumb. either that or i'm lazy. one of the two. ( More Geek Pictures!Collapse )
i do love me some mitsuru. might be a good thing i'm going away for a bit. dad broke our toilet :C
...I am quite digging it. Definitely some Watchmen vibes, though the fact there's actual supers it makes me think more of the Top Ten comic (which ran as a sort of 'super police force' thing in a…
