Went to see the Watchmen last night....it was a great movie and I enjoyed the hell out of it. The nudity and violence was a bit much at times but I really dug the storyline and the whole dark anti-hero vibe the movie had. What I dont get is the reviews of the movie tend to focus on the mass violence and sex scenes of the movie, and how this movie is truly awful bc of this. People, this isnt a Superman or Spiderman-type where he ends up getting the girl in the end and things are back to normal when he defeats the bad guy. This one definitely had a much more gritty and realistic approach to it. It wasnt meant to be a kids movie in the first place. Hmmmm this is making me want to go out and pick up the book and give it a good read :)
I've been carless the last few days... car went out on me Thursday night on the way to see Mike and they're saying it may be my fuel pump :(. That'll leave me a good $200 in the hole, but Dad is paying for it and I'll pay him back when I get my tax refund. It may leave me good and broke for a while but I'll try and make the money stretch until I get the paycheck from CDAC.
I've been working on playing my lil dwarf hunter, Mynde, in Elwynn and will be starting her in Westfall sometime tonight. She tamed herself a nice little gray forest wolf from Elwynn Forest, named him Rocky. My guild's been talking about doing more raids with the higher lvls, which means I'm going to have to drag Jenmaree (my main - 71 pally) out more... she needs the nice new gear anyway and some good quality raid experience tanking and healing. Our guild doesnt have a lot of high lvl toons (maybe 10 of us are above lvl 60) so we dont really have a lot to work with. We're willing to give this a shot sometime soon. |

Yeah I come on here every day and read my FL, but I havent posted on this thing in god only knows :(. Whats have I been doing as of late?
Well I got a part-time gig as a CDAC provider for my younger sister, who has both autism and epilepsy. It means I get paid to help her do things like making her lunch, doing her laundry, toileting, among other things. I can only bill up to 1 hr a day/20 days a month but the extra money is something I really need right now. Got too too many bills coming out and not enough money coming in. The paperwork can be annoying at times (they expect you to be very detailed in what services you provide to the consumer that day).
In my spare time I've been playing lots of WoW - got my human pally up to 71 lvling in Borean Tundra, getting ready to head to Dragonblight once I hit 72 and finish all the quests for BT. All I can say is that Northrend lvling is soooo much more fun than leveling in Outland was. Theres better quest storylines and awesome gear, though I havent gotten a chance to update my weapon as of yet. And I think now I FINALLY have enough money to go get my epic pally mount :). Next step?? Start saving up for my flyer :) |

Whitesnake - 1987 (on tape)bought at the tender age of 9 (1988)
I bought the CD edition a few years ago and truly realized what a GREAT
album this is. David Coverdale imo has never sounded better than when he did the record.

Since I'm done with most of my schoolwork.... (nearly 40 page design proposal for my senior graphic design class)... I will be indulging in some good old World of Warcraft (Bartik, lev 12 lood Elf Hunter on Zangarmarsh) part is that I have to work Sat night and Sun morning :(.

Most Saturday nights five years ago were spent with my ex, either watching movies or fiddling around on the ps2. But I'm single again now, and I'm still busy enough with schoolwork, which is what I usually do after I get off work Sat nights.

People who think they're above it all just bc they have money, fame and fortune. Folks who mistreat handicapped individuals, the minority population, etc.
5. What's the most unpleasant mess you've ever had to clean up?

I'm afraid of heights and never had anything like that happen as a kid :)

-The power to shapeshift into nearly ANYTHING
16. Do you freak out at the first sign of illness or do you tend to let medical problems go on too long before seeking help? And why?

-Ewwwww too slimy and slippery for me
25. If you could spend an afternoon with someone famous that you admire, who would it be and what would you say and do to and with him or her... ideally?
If he was still alive, Bon Scott. Would go out for a nice meal with him, have a few drinks at the bar and just lie around in bed talking, snuggling and not doing anything else. He led such an interesting life and was just so damn HOT and SEXY that I couldn't be able to keep my paws off him :) For those still around I would pick Paul McCartney, George Lucas, or even Stan Lee.

friends... I've never actually tried lobster but Mike really seems to like it

As for my favorite celeb I'm going to pick Criss Angel. Some of the stuff he does on his show is absolutely amazing and mindblowing. He's just one of those guys with the whole package.... handsome, intelligent, and a total sweetheart of a man.
Now if the whole world had less Britney, Paris, or Lindsay Lohan I would be much happier. Brit needs to grow the hell up... she needs to set a good example for her kids by not going out and partying all the time or having sex with every man she meets.

Dammit why'd my time of the month have come right now?? I feel so fucking crappy right now.... legs are swollen, back hurts, feet hurt and I have the chills like bloody hell. Whoever said that periods are much less painful after 25 should be chokeslammed all the way from hell.

Yeah folks I swear, I never update this thing anymore. It's been a long week and very busy. Work has been wacky the last few days.... very busy and running out of food like all hell. Saturday night I had a customer throw his dirty plate at me when he couldn't get his steak cooked super well done. Dumb fucking bastard about sent me into tears. Luckily it was nearly the end of my shift, and I was about ready to cut up my meats, sweep, and clock out. SSomehow this weekend just seemed to bring out the idiot population here in Burlington... I had to deal with many dumb folks tonight too.... one lady asked me tonight who was supposed to cut the meat.... as if my outfit with the bright letters "grillmaster", red jacket, and chef's hat wasn't already a dead giveaway. I swear that folks need an IQ of about 40 to even go out to a restaurant.
I'm in the midst of creating my website for my web design class.... it's a work in process and will take another few weeks to finally be done..... in the meantime you can check out what I've done so far.....
http://midearthtravel.8m.com
I've struggled long and hard to actually get it the way I wanted it to look.... it takes up a lot of my time outside of work but at least it gives me a good outlet for my creativity. This week I have to come up with the text for it using CSS style sheets.
Went and saw Balls of Fury with Mike Thursday, good solid funny movie but could have been better. I'm looking forward to Rob Zombie's adaptation of Halloween.... hell that looks bloody brutal, and nothing like the original movie from the 70s. There's another one coming out in October that looks awesome too..... Trick or Treat. Supposedly focuses on the more Pagan aspects of Halloween, judging from the looks of it. The preview for it is on the 300 DVD for those that want to check it out :)
Got to run errands tomorrow..... cash and deposit part of my check, fill up my gas tank, take Mom's clothes over to Salvation Army, do my hour walk at the mall. Oh, and need to stop at the library to check out some new X-Files DVDs and pick up Season One of Criss Angel: Mindfreak. My friend at work told me about the show and some of the AMAZING shit he does...... cutting a woman in half and breaking apart and putting a necklace back together as is. So yeah, I'll be getting the DVD and watching his show when I get off work on Tuesday nights. An added bonus..... the man is freaking HOT AS HELL :)

Pretty uneventful the last few days.... though I put in an app to SCC to start next fall in their Graphic Communications program. All I just have to do send out my transcripts, and I'm good. Basically, my BA in psych is just about useless now. All the jobs with BAs require about three years of experience, and God knows I don't have that right now :( I'm great at drawing, and I dig making things on the computer, even if it's just photoshop shit right now.
I got the biggest shock when I heard that Mike and his mom stopped by while I was working all day yesterday. Mom talked to them for a whole hour and a half last Sunday night, I guess since they were in the neighborhood they decided to stop by.
Just tired out right now, not much to say. Talk to yall later....

Well folks.... I finally did it.
At my first weigh in at Weight Watchers, I found out that I had lost 28 lbs.... all on my own. Now let's just see if I can do just as well in a group setting. I know, it feels kind of weird since I lost it all in such a sort span of time... it just seems that whenever I try to lose weight initially it comes off like wildfire, and then tapers off, and then I go back to my old habits and gain all the weight back. Hopefully that won't happen this time.
Mike and I are eager for Monday to get here.... we worked on Jeff Hardy and DX signs last night, and I will be doing a Johnny Nitro one later tonight before we go to Big Shots.
How's this for a sign????
Johnny's Nitrous Oxide is no laughing matter.
Mike and I came up with that last night and we about laughed our asses off :) We're leaving for Davenport right after we go get my check on Monday, and hopefully will be home sometime around midnight-1230. It'll be an easy drive up, compared to the one to Peoria in April - that seemed like it took forever. Certainly not going to be going there for a while I think.
Doctor appointment went just fine, she just told me to keep losing the weight and I'll be doing peachy.

I'm feeling better than I was, just trying to stay off my feet, so I'm using the laptop instead of the regular computer. I'm off work until Thursday, but then I have Thursday, Fri, and Sat off anyway so I won't be returning to work until Sunday. It turns out I had an infection in it, which is why it hurts so badly half the time. It hurts anytime I try to attempt movement on it... mainly when I get up and try to walk.
I'm just relaxing and watching The Longest Yard (the remake) right now. I'm going to try and get in some gaming time in today too....maybe some Sims or Smackdown Vs. RAW 2006 :)

Damn.... can't believe I'm 27 already. Already started in on the partying last night at Big Shots, drank a strawberry daiquiri w/vodka, and two Smirnoff Triple Blacks. Yeah, I know, not much, but more than than I've drank since mid-June. I got buzzed, but the real fun will be had tonight.... I'm aiming to get good and drunk, a little crazy too. Amanda, Mike and I are going to see Talladega Nights later this evening, and then going to the Beer Tent, maybe hit somewhere else too if we have time.
I already know of two birthday presents I'm getting.... Mike is getting me Sims 2: Open for Business and Whitesnake's Greatest Hits is coming from Amanda. Hopefully, if I get money from my folks at least some of it is going to WWE tickets for the RAW house show in Peoria on Sept. 29th
I did Whitesnake's "Still of the Night", Scorpions' "Still Loving You" (which I ROCK the mic at, btw.... they're going to be kareoke standards for me very soon), Disturbed's "Stupify", and "BYOB" from System of a Down..... hmmmm maybe tonight I'll bring back some good old AC/DC for a change. Maybe throw some Dio and Maiden in there too.
I took WoW off my computer... I know it won't please Michael too much but having that and Sims 2 on my computer was just a bit too much, and having to sink all that extra money into it wasn't worth the trouble. He can play it at John's place anyway, so I'm not real worried. Hopefully Neverwinter Nights: Platinum won't take up quite as much space :).
