It's me! [05 Jul 2007|04:15am]
[ mood | cheerful ]

So Jon and I have moved, we're living in Redmond now. I actually like this place. ^_^

I wanted to go to the NERO Event this weekend... You have no idea how much... But I have to be responsible and clean, unpack, etc. Yech. Oh well. It just gives me more time to make Melina's costume perfect before my triumphant return. I still need new shoes. Not to mention new horns, clothes, and a set of Pan Pipes I've had my eye on. I have no idea when the next Seattle event will be, but at least I've got time.

Not much to say. Well, a lot to say, but it would be a pain to try to type out everything I've been thinking, feeling, and doing over the who-knows-how-long since I last posted.

I'm alive, I'm well enough, and I just thought you should know.

P.S. Sorry I haven't been on messengers. >_>

We have returned. [23 Apr 2007|05:48pm]
[ mood | tired ]

So Jon and I are back, and we didn't get eaten by bears. The only animal we really encountered was a very stupid mole. I never realized they were cute.

Speaking of rodents, I think my hamster is sick. :(

Other than that everything is fine. I'm tired, and it's too warm in here. I woke up this morning because I bit the side of my tongue, only to hit my head when I sat up. x_x Not the best way to start the day.

Jon's off at work now, but his birthday is Wednesday. I already ordered his present online, but I don't think it will get here in time.

Much love to you all. Thanks for the birthday wishes, timely and belated. ^_^

Not much to report! [17 Apr 2007|12:38pm]
[ mood | blah ]

Today I turn 22. Well, technically around 10 pm, but still. I'm going to get my haircut, run some errands. Most of my friends are at work so there's not much to do. I might be able to get a hold of Erin and Sarah if I'm lucky.

Tomorrow Jon and I are going camping, so I guess that's cool. I haven't gone camping since I was a kid, unless you count NERO. I've gotten very domesticated.

So. What's new?

Our storage unit got broken into. The weird thing is, they cut the lock rather than the little wire holding the second door shut. o_O With a saw! Nothing was taken as far as we can tell, for which I am grateful. When Jon first told me about it I thought I was going to have a panic attack. I couldn't even go in with him when he went to look at the damage. They didn't even take our little TV. Everything was in order, though the fan had been moved.

I got to visit with Crystal and Eric last weekend, AND see Cassandra. I played an RPG I haven't before and generally had a good time. Even if I had to sleep on the floor and my elbows got rugburn. x_x I love their cat, but I wish the wicked creature hadn't pissed all over the coushin I usually crash on.

As for my general wellbeing, I've been better. Stressed, ill, depressed, lonely. It's old news but still problematic. I'm surviving though. The random, if still infrequent, contact with friends over the last couple of months has helped. I really should get on messengers more.

Random thoughts. [21 Feb 2007|09:18pm]
[ mood | tired ]

I've noticed people react really strangely when I compliment them, both online and in person. People I don't know very well, I mean. It's like it's completely normal for a stranger to be rude or insulting, but it weirds them out big time if someone says something nice.

I've gotten a couple of grateful smiles but for the most part people react with confusion or surprise. Once someone even scowled at me. I can't remember what it was exactly I said to them but I know it wasn't anything potentially offensive like 'nice ass'. Their reaction bugged me but Jon said I should just ignore it.

I bring this up because I was disagreeing with someone on a flame war thread, but I had liked other posts he had made and thought he seemed like a nice guy. So, I told him so, then proceeded to state why I thought they were wrong in this case. He PM'd me bewildered about how I could say I liked him when I'd never met him in person. It's funny, because I know that he didn't PM the people insulting him to ask how they could say they hated him.

Interesting stuff: [19 Jan 2007|01:07pm]

Jon and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary on the 17th.

We bought a dwarf dalmation hamster we named Magni.

We have the Burning Crusade expansion for WoW.

That is all. :P

There's thunder, and it's snowing.

Yeah. Pretty weird.

Nothing else to say, except that I've been sick and antisocial. :P

So impatient! [26 Sep 2006|04:21pm]
[ mood | okay ]
[ music | Hushed conversation. ]

So, I'm going to be without internet for a bit longer than expected, but should have it by Halloween. Bleah.

Hope you're all doing okay.

I'm fine. Bored, a little lonely, and coming down with a cold, but otherwise well enough. Feel free to drop me an e-mail. I'll respond either the next time I'm at the library or whenever I have regular access again.

It's that time of year. [22 Aug 2006|06:13am]
[ mood | tired ]

So. As of Thursday, I won't have internet access again for a little bit, since Jon and I are moving. Then in another month we'll move again. -_-

Anyway. Just a heads up.

I was bored. [04 Aug 2006|05:44pm]

Create your own friendquiz here



So, I made this little quiz. Some of the questions should be easy, some will not be. Don't feel obligated to take it if you aren't up to the challenge, and don't feel bad if you don't get a great score. Just because you don't know that random info doesn't mean you don't know me at all. :P

Nice weather we've been having, isn't it? Sun, but not oppressive heat. I like it.

Penguins and pygmy marmosets and poison dart frogs, oh my! [26 Jul 2006|07:50pm]
[ mood | sleepy ]

I like pizza. I also like the relatively mild weather today.

Also, I'm going to the Woodland Park Zoo on Saturday.

YAY ZOO! ^_^

*Bounces*

Well, I would bounce if I weren't so damned tired. I love the zoo.

It's too warm! [24 Jun 2006|04:48pm]
[ mood | hot ]
[ music | The ice-cream truck driving by. ]

Damn summer. x_x

I'm doing pretty good for the most part, though. The Oregon Event I went to was decently fun even though I NPC'd, and I have not regretted my purchase of WoW so far. I also bought a new mattress recently, and I've been sleeping a little bit better because of it. No more waking up every couple of hours!

I wish I had more to say that was interesting, but I don't. Things aren't bad right now but they aren't exciting either.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to turn the fan on and refill my water bottle.

Woo! WOW! [20 Jun 2006|06:50pm]
[ mood | bouncy ]

So, I just belatedly hopped on a bandwagon and dragged Jon along with me. :P

I bought World of Warcraft today. It was on sale! 18$? Hell yeah. I think between the two of us we can manage the fees, too.

Do you play?

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

He's been missing about a month... Not so long a time, but he's a lazy marshmallow, has been for about a decade. Ever since his brother died.

Maybe he'll come back. Maybe he was taken in by some nice little old lady, who knows? It could happen. Still, I'm going to miss the fat old cat. I remember how he wouldn't leave my side when I was sick, and how I used to find he and Dozer asleep on my bed whenever I came home from school. I remember that time he pee'd all over my blankets and his raspy 'no seriously, I haven't been fed' meow.

I hope wherever he is, he's happy.

This could be cute. :P

I've been busy lately, between Jon's birthday party and the celebratory aftershocks.

Visited my family yesterday, and arrived too late to go to a bank. It was fine, though... I had fun.

Not much to say right now. I'm pretty drained today.

(6 sparks | start a fire)

A nice day. [21 Apr 2006|07:30pm]
[ mood | calm ]

There's something about this weather... Not too hot, not too cold, the sun on my face and a smell in the air that reminds me of NERO past. It's pleasant.

So. The money. It's from a car accident I was in when I was only a year old, but I won't have access to it until my Mom and I go down to the bank together. I'm hoping I don't have to wait another two years for it; apparently it hasn't matured yet or something. I was originally supposed to get it when I was 18, but I was with Paul at the time, so my parents decided it would be a bad idea to let me.

Jon says if all else fails Mom can close the account. David says I should wait the two years so I can have even more money, but I don't want to do that. I've got -plans- for that cash. Half goes into a savings account, but the rest gets spent on various things I need and want.

Anyway, we'll see what happens.

All's well that ends well. [18 Apr 2006|04:09pm]
[ mood | content ]

The zoo was a lot of fun... A rooster made the red wolves howl and a harbor seal kept swimming past us upside down. It changed it's course to swim near me. ^_^

I'm pretty sure the walrus liked David.

The man who feeds the penguins makes this loud honking noise and they all answer, splashing into the water and swimming around excitedly.

The barn owl shows off, and the raven hates crows.

After spending a few hours there, we went to the Redmond Town Center and hung out at the game store, then had a wonderful dinner at Claim Jumper's.

I finally talked to Crystal for a little while last night before the cell phone died.

It was a good birthday.

Good haul this year. ^_^' [17 Apr 2006|10:28am]
[ mood | chipper ]

I am going to the Point Defiance Zoo with Jon and David today, and I'm going to have a good time. I don't care if I'm doing something on my 21st birthday that most people do on their 6th. :P Afterwards maybe we can go out to dinner.

Anyway, I should go get ready. ...Well, I'm actually ready right now, I've really got to go wait for the guys to be.

See ya around.

P.S. I now have almost 6,000 dollars. And an enormous bottle of red wine.

Birthday Blues [14 Apr 2006|10:54am]
[ mood | blah ]

Two Neat Quizzes )

It doesn't look like I'll be doing anything special for my birthday, but I guess I've known for awhile that would be the case. I wouldn't feel right going anywhere without Jon, and he won't be able to go to a bar until eight days after me. A party is pretty much pointless since most of the folks I used to hang with live too far away and/or don't even consider me a friend anymore. The fact my b-day's on a Monday doesn't help matters much either.

Still, there's nothing wrong with celebrating my continued exsistance with than the man I love. I'm sure we'll think of something to do.

...I'm not in a particularly good mood this morning. I haven't slept because I know the only way to stop my renewed cycle of not getting up until 7pm is to stay awake all day and go to bed early. It won't be too hard. Someone's going to be coming to inspect the apartment at some point.

I could use a little cheering up. I think I'll go make tea and play Adventure Quest.
