Hello, I'm an idiot

One of my flisters just pointed out to me that yesterday's birthday for the Just 'Cause posts was not the 5th, but only the 4th.

*major facepalm*

And it's correct. I did the first cap in Feb. 2008.
Clearly I cannot do simple math. *hides in shame* :(

I'll be deleting yesterday's JC post from existence now. I'm so sorry everyone. I feel like the dumbest person on the planet.

Edit: Ok, so I'm not going to delete the post, but I've made it Private for now, until I figure out what to do. I'm thinking of re-doing the post with Season 4 caps like it should've had. I'll let you know when I've got it done and re-post the link.

2nd Edit: The post is back up and been re-edited with Season 4 caps. :)

What really sucks is that my folders in PB have been incorrectly numbered all this time as well. WTH??? What is wrong with me????

My mistake

I messed up in calling the SPN ad from Thursday night a bumper. This paragraph has been added to the post:

I'd like to apologize for mislabeling this as a bumper. It is not. It's simply an ad, a commercial. In my haste to post this online, I equated it with the real S6 bumpers (the images of Jensen & Jared by the window, Jared in the chair, Jensen on the floor). Those ARE bumpers because they 1) Announce the upcoming promo before the commercial break and 2) Close out the next week's promo. Sorry for the confusion. I can't change the mistake in this post (renaming) without a lot of trouble, so I'll merely rename the youtube video & parts of this post (not the files).

For more info. about what bumpers are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumper_(broadcasting)

Boredom is dangerous

Dear self,

I don't care how bored you are, you should know poking around on the internet late at night is a bad thing by now. You either get some email that is upsetting or you find something disturbing. Your curious nature will be your downfall. Why do you look at or listen to things that you know will upset you??? Or at least that you think might?

Reviewing 5x15 would've been much more productive....and safer.
Next time loose the curiosity and do what you're supposed to.

(signed a gut punched me)

Pointless post is pointless. :(
I'll be okay. I just shouldn't have checked out a post about eerie recordings. o.O
Bad idea. Very bad. I hope I don't have nightmares.

Walking: Stupid Weather!

I knew it would be a rainy day. No problem. I knew it might be windy. Okay, as long as it's not too serious that's okay, too. I knew a stray thunderstorm was in the forecast. Alright, but that could be anywhere, right?

Wrong.

I headed out and it was raining. I figured, okay, as long as it doesn't get worse, I'm cool with it. Well, it did. It started blowing, then hailing! Hard! Yikes! That was when I decided this was a monumentally BAD idea. However, I had to keep going a little further so I could get to a street to head for home. The temperature dropped fast and it kept on with the wet hail. Soon my jeans were completely soaked and I could feel that my shoes & socks were, too. I headed for home and my legs were starting to ache. Must have been from the added weight of the jeans, along with my haste to get home pronto. The rain was coming down in buckets! Coming around the last turn for home, there was thunder, nice & loud. Eeep! That's when I started praying for God to get me home safely, 'cause I was carrying an umbrella and it's part metal, of course. I don't normally pray, but every once in a while I feel the need, you know?

I'm thankful I got home safe. I stripped out of my wet jeans, socks, and shoes, and put on clean, dry ones. Sheesh. Bad judgement call on my part, but still....stupid weather! I really wanted to walk today. Looks like tomorrow won't be much better. In fact, they're calling for a stronger chance of thunderstorms. Peachy. Looks like I won't be walking until Wednesday at the earliest. *sigh*

Quickies 15 - Flist Edition

:: What is up with LJ today? When I visit certain pages of my own journal or of others I get a warning about a Trojan from my Avast Anti-Virus. Anyone else getting this?

:: At the grocery store yesterday I had a guy walk past me and utter "Howdy there neighbor!" Nice and friendly, but I've never seen the guy in my life. Awkward, much? I ignored him and headed in the other direction.

:: Also at the grocery store, mom & I were at the check-out and I was waiting to put our stuff on the conveyor belt thingy when the store "helper" (I really have no idea what her title is) came up and suddenly started putting our purchases up on the belt. I said, "I was gonna start doing that" and she answered back, "Great. We can do it together" OMG I was simply waiting for the guy ahead of us to move up a little. I don't like to crowd people and he was standing right there, sort of in my way. I did not need help, nor did I want it and I felt her stepping in was very rude! I ranted about it in the car on the way home for quite a while. I mean really! I'm not helpless and I don't appreciate people helping me when I don't ask for it and don't need it! Grrrr!

:: Bought S1 DVDs of both Scarecrow & Mrs. King & Leverage yesterday. Mom & I started watching Leverage last night (at my insistence) and I think she likes it. ;)

:: Started reading "Life's That Way" and I'm finding it hard to put down. I hear Jim's voice in my head with every word and appreciate his raw honesty along with his gentle humor. It's already brought me nearly to tears a couple of times and I'm barely into Chapter 2.

:: So glad I can finally stay home for the first time since last Sunday. I was out every day, Monday through Friday, running errands for my aunt or my mom. I really got very little of anything else done which is frustrating. Doesn't help that I've been in pain all week, which leads me to...

:: The night of March 4th I had just settled into my chair by my desk when I realized I needed something from the desk that was kind of out of reach (don'tcha hate that?). Being a lazy idiot, I decided to reach for the item instead of doing the right thing and properly moving to where I could get a hold of it. I stretched out, felt my neck and shoulder strain and got the item. Didn't really feel too bad and figured it'd be fine by the morning. And it was fine...until 2 days later when it started hurting. And so it's been for the past 6 days now. The left side of my neck, upper back and shoulder are in a near constant state of pain. Wearing my bra with the shoulder strap resting over the offending shoulder is like wearing a torture device, but I wear it 'cause I'd be uncomfortable without it. Sometimes I slip the strap off my shoulder for a while, which seems to help. Yesterday I wore a heat/pain patch on it for the first time to help get me through the day and it sort of helped. I'm wearing one again today, but my shoulder was quite painful right upon waking up. I'm resisting taking Tylenol or other OTC pain relievers 'cause I really don't like taking that stuff anymore than necessary. If the pain gets super bad I will try taking some though. Mom (who just learned of this yesterday) said that if this doesn't start to get better soon I'll have to go to the doctor. Bleh. I hate doctors, so I'm hoping this heals on it's own.

So that's been my "fun" for the week. Owie. And to top it all off, yesterday I whacked my right wrist against the iron chair my mom has out in the kitchen (she sits on it while fixing her meals so she's not standing on her sore, arthritic knees). So now I've got a sore right wrist too . Peachy. :(

Yep, I'm the walking wounded right now. Didn't make my exhausting week any better that's for sure. Today my shoulder is really painful even with this patch. Might be time to cave in and take something. Bah.

Self-destruct mode

Spent most of Tuesday organizing stuff in our bathroom cabinets with my mom. Got online late in the evening and my internet was all wonky. Got kicked off a couple of times and then it was very spotty and slow. Still not much better now. Had 2 different browsers crash on me and it's making it nearly impossible to get anything done.

I'm still kinda upset at myself over my stupid posting mistake yesterday. Doing all kinds of self-abuse in my head, which is normal for me. I've had all the usual thoughts: I should just quit posting things, dump my journal, go on hiatus for a while....none of which I'll probably do, but the ideas are there all the same.

Why is it when I try to do something good I mess it up all the time? Two years in a row I've made this same mistake and I still haven't learned my lesson. I'm usually so good at using cuts on spoilery material, but this thing with the Gag Reels is where I always screw up. Nobody has defriended me over this, btw, for which I'm grateful. I've been defriended for far smaller infractions. Guess you could say I'm a little gun shy at this point.

Anyway, I should be done beating myself over this in a day or so. Bear with me and I'll get back on track again. Until then, I'm really not in the mood to answer comments or post anything extra other than the Just 'Cause caps, so I might be a little quiet until I get over this.

Thank you for all your comments the other morning. Looks like I was harder on myself than anyone else was being, but I thank you for caring all the same.

I'm sorry

Crap! I screwed up....again. I apologize to those I've spoiled. I should have remembered what happened last year and I didn't. Until now. *hangs head in shame*

Cheaters never win

Someone cheated on my Name That Cap Challenge that I posted early Friday. Not only did they have the gall to cheat on something that's supposed to be fun, they were stupid enough to point it out to me. *sigh*

Edit: The person in question was not cheating. Legitimate searching to confirm a guess resulted in coming across my caps by accident. Issue resolved & the person is re-instated to participate.

Details & my response...Collapse )
