picture pages picture pages

Movie: Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
Quote: Brain, I was thinking. I don't think I really want to be an elf.
Really? What do you want to be?
A dentist.
You've seen too many Christmas specials Pinky.

So I decided to post a picture of myself and the boy. My friend Hawke posted her face on the net, so I guess I can too. This is actually a picture that I nabbed from the Emily's Toybox web page.

The reason I chose this pic was because of how much fun we were all having while it was being taken. On Christmas night the boy and I went to see Emily's Toybox. A few of my friends came along and so did some of the boy's along with his brother. The other great thing about this picture is that it's the only picture I have of me and the boy together. At least with him looking at the camera. He hates to have his picture taken so he always looks away from the camera and being that he was a wee bit drunk he didn't care that the singer of the band was taking his picture. Oh, and to explain why some of us are giving the finger... well it's a little bit of a tradition for the audience to give the band the finger while they are taking pictures. I cropped this pic to cut out the people I didn't know, but if you could see the whole thing almost everyone in the audience is doing it. And just in case you couldn't guess... I'm the blondie in front wearing black with the boy right next to me giving a double salute.

slumber - nap - snooze - doze - sleep

Movie: Lord of the Rings, Return of the King
Word of the Day: Sloth: Aversion to work or exertion; laziness; indolence.

I did absolutely nothing today. And boy did it feel good. I literally barely got out of bed today. Only to eat and... well... you know. I watched a few movies, actually slept through most of them, while the boy slept off his hangover. (he swears his headache was just from his neck and back being sore... sure)
Ahhhh... life is good

Greatest Gift

Dawn is slowly breaking
Our friends have all gone home
You and I are waiting
For Santa Claus to come
There's a present by the tree
Stockings on the wall
Knowing you're in love with me
Is the greatest gift of all

The fire is slowly fading
Chill is in the air
All the gifts are waiting
For children everywhere
Through the window, I can see
Snow begin to fall
Knowing you're in love with me
Is the greatest gift of all

Just before I go to sleep
I hear a church bell ring
Merry Christmas, everyone
Is the song it sings
So I say a silent prayer
For creatures great and small
Peace on earth, goodwill to man
Is the greatest gift of all

Peace on earth, goodwill to man
Is the greatest gift of all

Merry Christmas All!

Schools out!

Song: Walking After Midnight - Patsy Cline
Quote: Every time I hook up with you, I get shot. Last time I got shot in the ass. I'm in mourning for my ass! - Izzy,
You're not exactly catching me at my best.
I'm sure I am. - Izzy and Evie, the Mummy Returns

Weeeeooooh! Finals are over! I'll admit, I couldn't stay away from my computer for a week like I said that I would. Actually I have been on it everyday just checking my emails and reading the few blogs that I read. I also played a few games of mahjongg on the new CD ROM that me mum got me. Other than that, I haven't done much at all. Just watched a few movies with the boy and slept.
But it still feels as though I haven't gotten enough sleep or watched enough movies. Think I'll go take a nap.

Countdown...

Quote: I don't know half of you, half as well as I should like and I like less then half of you, half as well as you deserve. - Bilbo Baggins, Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring

Three down, one to go. I presented on final project in class today and I have two other classes work completely finished. Those two presentations will be tomorrow. Then I only have my flash animation to get done. So much work to do in so little time. Can't wait till Thursday. I have most of my Christmas shopping as well, but I still have a few people to buy for.

Ahh well, back to work...

Miles and miles

Quote: The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
- Stopping by woods on a Snowy Evening, Robert Frost

Ugh... Time time time... where in the hell does it go? I. of course, have so much to do and here I sit blogging. Good grief Charlie Brown. I can't wait until Thursday at 2 pm. Ha Ha! Then I will be done. (at least until January) Then I can concentrate on Christmas. Yeash

brain mutterings

Movie: Mulan
Quote: Get your ass out of my aura. You're fucking up my karma.

I have discovered that Pepsi out of a can tastes much better than Pepsi out of a bottle.

And that Cherry Coke is a decent substitution for Pepsi.

I now know what fun it is to have a back windshield made out of glass and not plastic.

I also know how much fun it is to play with the back windshield wiper and defroster.

Fog lights rock!

Clean sheets are heaven.

Messy floors are hard to navigate in the dark.

Men's pajama bottoms are so comfortable. I wish I could wear them everywhere.

There are some really great children's books out there. IE: Diary of a Worm

Do you think Santa Clause has been traveling by floo powder all this time?

Ok... I feel rather brain dead. Ganna go to sleep now.

Night night

under construction

I've noticed, as have a few others, that my old blogs are filled with gobbledygook. This is because I used to type my blogs in Word and cut and paste them into blogger. It would seem that this new template does not like word's apostrophes along with some other symbols. I have started to re-edit my old blogs, but this will take some time. So please excuse the mess for a while.

Ch-ch-changes

As you can see, things have changed a wee bit around here. The place is still under construction… watch your step.

beep! beep!

Song: Salisbury Hill - Peter Gabriel
Quote: "My ancestors sent a little lizard to help me?"
"Hey! Dragon! Dragon! I don't do that tongue thing." - Mulan


Ta Da... So here is the picture of the new-ish jeep! Wheeeeee! I LOVE it. The boy put in a new sound system and speakers for me, so it has tuneage. I couldn't live without a CD player in it, so the first place I went after picking up the car was Best Buy for a new head unit.

And I figured I would throw in a new picture of my tracker. It appears to be enjoying its new life as a four wheeling vehicle. The boy took it out on Saturday with a friend of his who also owns a tracker. I couldn't go, had to work. But the boy had fun and got my tracker all muddy. Also got it stuck and had to rip the muffler off. My muffler is now sitting in the woods of Pennsylvania somewhere. The boy told me that he is planning another four wheeling expedition sometime in January so I should plan to take the day off to go with him.

In other news... I burnt my finger at work today. Boiling oil splashed on it. It hurt, which is good; means it's a first degree burn, not second or third. Then twenty minutes later on the same hand, I took a chunk of flesh out of my thumb. Not a good day for my hands.

Gee, guess what? I'm going to go do homework!

creation station

Song: I believe in Santa Clause - Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton
Quote: I haven't been the same since that house fell on my sister.

Alright, so I forgot to take pictures of my new car. I'm sorry; I was too busy driving it. By the time I realized I hadn't taken pictures, it was too dark outside to take any. So in an attempt to make up for my lack of car pictures, I have decided to take my sister Hawke's (aka Mouse) idea and take a picture of my blogging station (aka my desk).

On the wall is a celtic scarf. The tower is on the desk to make it easy for me to add and remove my portable hard drive easily. (The only port I can use for it is on the back.) On top of the tower are a few of the dragon statues that I have collected, along with Starscream and Snarf . (Transformer and Thundercat respectively). There is a pterodactyl (hey Hawke, ever hear of origami?) sitting on top of the computer screen and a lizard hanging out on the lamp shade. There are more dinosaur toys next to the numerous pencil holders. And the other close up contains the notebooks of all of these wonderful quotes that I have collected, along with the SBO - secret birthday object that Hawke made me for my birthday (the hat). And of course a really BIG bottle of Advil, a necessity these past few weeks of school.

And no, my desk is not normally this clean... my mother would have died of embarrassment if she knew I had posted a picture of my desk looking as messy as it usually does.

...creative witty title here....

Book: Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! – Mo Willems
Song: Killing Me Softly - Lauren Hill
Quote: "I'm not enjoying this."
"Well shelve them correctly and we can finish."
"I don't get your crazy system."
"My system? It's called the alphabet."
"Huh, would you look at that." - Xander and Giles, Buffy the Vampire Slayer

So, I didn't get my car today. I have to wait until tomorrow. I have to see if I have good enough credit to get a loan. It shouldn't be a problem, I've had a car loan before and I never missed a payment. Hopefully I can get a good rate.

Hmmm... Today was really boring. Class seemed to take forever and so did work. Now all I want to do is curl up in bed and watch television, but I have to do homework again.

It's a really bad week for feelings of procrastination, but I can't help it, I just don't want to do any more work. I'm sure next week I'll feel differently, but I work better under pressure. Not
