a little bit noob, a little bit philosopher, a little bit lost, a little bit armchair activist, and a little bit -oh shiny thing!
The boy and I went out to lunch this afternoon. Three days late for out anniversary. Went shopping afterward and I *finally* found cute black flats and Chris bought them for me. :)
You know why religion infringes on my happiness? I have to wake up on a Sunday morning at 7am to sit through a mass and watch some old guy throw water at a 1year old or risk alienating my bf's side of the family. Really, sit through a mass? And apparently the bf is "part of the ceremony" we just found out!
I have a bad feeling it's going to be similar to a recent funeral I went to. Cold, dull, and way too long. At least I know I wont burst into flames or set anything on fire walking through the door.

Ok it was boring, but it wasn't so bad (also wasn't Catholic!). The pastor was one of those goofy guys that doesn't take things too seriously. The Sunday School kids were at the service for the beginning and when they did the baptism. I didn't do any singing along, or promise to raise my nephew in the glory of god, or whatever. I do mouth along to the Lord's Prayer though, it freaks out the boy and I like the poetry of it.
- Heather
See? :) some things about the church, like ceremonies are interesting. Glad you survived ;)

WOOT! Just passed the 10k word mark. A little late and still not caught up on the goal word count, but I did rake the yard for several hours today. #NaNoWriMo
I'm feeling really down about the human craving for other people's drama. And very uncomfortable for how people can bring it from a private setting to a public one. It's all internet pixels, but there are real people with real feelings behind everything that happens online. I really need some lolcats....
So I'm cleaning my room and I found the little project we did in middle school. We filled out this 3 page form of our favorite things and current events and what-not. The teacher mailed it out like 5 years later. The last space to write was for anything you wanted to tell yourself. "Remember to be nice to everyone you meet, they might meet you later in life." I maybe be naive and more trusting then is good for me, but it's my favorite thing about myself and I hope I never change.

I only got 4810 words before midnight, so I'm behind on the word count (by 190). Tonight and after I wake up I expect to make up for it. #NaNoWriMo
So one of my biggest problems with my desktop is the lack of iCal. Does anyone know a free calendar program (online or downloadable) that is similar to iCal but usable on a PC?
Sometimes when I see threads or people mention things other places I want to play devils advocate, but I'm to chicken to start crap. I'm afraid if I posted something it would get out of hand, and I consider deleting to be the easy way out of that situation.
My boyfriend thought the shot made him sick, but the next morning he felt fine. I, on the other hand, am suffering from the usual immune compromising allergies I'm used to. I'm extra glad I got the shot because I just found out my bf's ER nurse mom didn't get a shot. Talk about risk! Oh and my arm is taking 2 aspirin and hot soup until it feels better. :)

Caesar salad with chicken and a lemonade gives me heartburn. I'm hopeless! I have yet to decide if I want to have $15 worth of Christmas presents to give or just go to the friggen doctor. My life choices have become incredibly boring. lol
So a few weeks ago I got all excited about an invention I thought up. My parents thought it was a good idea and told me I should make up a prototype. I was poking around online today..... it exists. /deflated
Happens all the time to me, I just go back to thinking. You'll perk up in a day or two.
- Jimminy
There is one (among many) differences between me and my brother: when I get an idea, if I see someone else has already done it, I feel validated "Hey, I *thought* of that too!". When he gets an idea and he sees it's been done, he feels deflated and put upon, "Damn it, *I* thought of that first!".
- Andy Bakun
I suppose it makes sense to not be the first, so I shouldn't really be disappointed. But I thought I was on to something unique. The reason I thought of it was to further bunny-proof my parents house, so I really should be grateful I can go out and buy these things! lol (Oh yeah, I'm talking about outlet protectors that cover the plugs. I knew about the stuff you put around the cords to prevent chewing but I didn't know about these.)

Sep 26, Heather buys a sundress. Man I've got bad timing. On the other hand, I look freaking cute with a matching headband on!
I rarely get excited about American movies (Nerd-dom is the exception, like Harry Potter) but I see a commercial once for a Miyazaki movie and I geek out like nuts. http://www.apple.com/trailer...
Wow, interesting link! Might actually tempt me to join Twitter ;)

Instead of having kids of our own my bf decided we should adopt a 23yo blond with self-esteem issues. (He's not in pain because it's after midnight, making it Sept 5th, the one day of immunity.)
I just spent like 3 hours looking up Chii costumes, cosplay and poking around Cosplay.com Where are the super nerdy friends I'm supposed to have! They need to help me play dress up and take me out. :)
- Heather
Me too! I bought them with the hair spools the year I thought I would go to AnimeBoston. My bf looks at me weird though when I ask if I can wear them to the mall. Go figure. <^.^>

I think the shittiest thing about being unemployed is that I can't get my bf a birthday present. I've had a couple of ideas for stuff to make him, but his bday is Saturday and I don't have the stuff I need. I've resorted to wracking my brain about things I can make for him in WoW.
lol He's an engineer and already borrowed over 5k gold. Forgiving the debt doesn't seem very present like either. But thanks for the suggestion. :)
- Heather
Clean his room for him. Wash his car. Send him an ecard. Tons of things to do.
- Bryan Lee
Backrub. Sexy dance just for him. Making his favorite meal. It's true that if you think hard, you can find things that don't take much $ but are just as thoughtful. In fact, it takes more time and thought to put together these gifts than it does to go to Amazon, pick something, and have it delivered.
- Spidra Webster
Yay Spidra! I'll make him Mac&Cheese (his favorite food) still gotta decided if I should risk making up a cheese sauce myself. I also thought about cleaning his desk area up and remaking the bed and other such stuff. Cleaning the whole room would be over my head as he might not like me tossing stuff. lol If his dad gets the dryer installed I'll do laundry and put it away as he hates doing it himself. Thanks a ton guys, I was being overstressed and feel a lot better now. ((hugs))
- Heather
He'll be so happy you did all that for him. Just make sure and tell him "I'm only doing this for your birthday, dont expect it every day!" hehe
- Bryan Lee
So far I made boxed spirals & cheese (added onion&garlic powder but that didn't seem to go over well), brought all our dishes downstairs, cleaned up his desk and the space between our chairs, and mostly put up with a long trip to Lowe's that involved more walking on concrete then my knees could take. I think it's going well. :)

"America has some of the industrial world's worst rates of infant mortality, teenage pregnancy and child poverty, even though it spends more per child than better-performing countries such as Switzerland, Japan and the Netherlands, a new survey indicates."

Back! (2 days early because of the remnants of Hurricane Danny) I'm kind of surprised how little I missed the internet. Hopefully this means I spend more time offline. Though I'm sure it wont take long to get back to obsessively checking in here. :)
Going to Maine for a week starting tomorrow. It doesn't really count as vacation seeing as I'm unemployed. But I think it's going to do me a lot of good to be offline, especially away from WoW guild* drama. I don't handle drama well at all.
So I really like a lot of the smarter conversations happening here and I'd like to be part of them. But for some reason recently I haven't been able to form a fully fleshed out thought to save my life. I don't know how many times in the past week I've had a sentence and a half written and I think "Where the hell is this going?"
OMAN Did anyone just see Conan? I so need to take stripper classes, this girl was climbing up a pole and swinging around by 1 hand then just her legs and all sorts of cool stuff!
