Do you put up decorations for the holidays? If so, when do the decorations go up and when do you take them down? Submitted By |
We haven`t put up Christmas decorations for a few years now. Not sure why, we just stopped for a while. We decorate the whole house (inside and out) for Halloween, but I`ve never really been a Christmas person. When I was young, we would put them up the first weekend in December. We would do it the sunday and decorate everything, and then it would come down the first weekend after the new year.
This year though, we might actually decorate again. We haven`t entirely decided yet. If we do, it will probably be sometime this week. I`ve already seen people with Christmas lights up on their porches and I love that.

But I`m sitting here, still listening to Christmas music, going through my friends posts, getting ready to read some more fic and just watched about 3 eps of Smallville and realized `wow.. i`m in a great mood right now`.
Just thought I`d share.

Absolutely disgusting. I used to volunteer at the humane society feeding kittens. I loved it until I hated it. And it was more of the facility itself than the actual volunteering. I stayed with it so long because of the kittens, but it just got to be so ridiculous that I couldn't. The methods they used to keep sick kittens quarantined were so faulty that I didn't want to put my own girls at risk of getting sick. They were already sick enough from birth, I didn't need sick kittens from the THS to add to that. We never had enough food, or the right kind of food, or the proper training or people to report to. It was so disorganized, and they claim to have a no kill policy, but I don't believe that. I don't have any proof to back that up, but it's just a feeling I got.
People who abuse animals make me sick. I see it enough at my job, and not even abusing them, just disregarding them. I've seen people who have waited days to bring their pets in when they've broken a leg. Or the pet has ingested something and is suffering and they don't want to waste money on getting it looked at. Or a cat that is in severe distress and it's an inconvenience to the owner to bring him/her in.
I think that people who commit these crimes to animals should have it done to them. You want to beat an animal? You deserve to be beaten. You want to starve and dehydrate your cat/dog? You should be starved and dehydrated. People who beat, abandon, starve, and/or abuse their animals are cowards. They're pathetic, weak, poor excuses of a human being. It's easy to prey on something weaker than you. It's easy to take advantage of someone who is dependent on you, who can't fight back.
There's a special place in hell for them, and I hope they get what they deserve.

Has any type of metal unintentionally gone into my eyes? Umm no? And furthermore, why would I have it intentionally go in my eyes?

So it's actually gonna happen! It's been... *looks at calandar* 12 weeks since 'the step that changed my life" or "the incident" as I've been calling it. There are days where I walk okay, there are days where I don't. My leg still locks a lot more frequently than I'd like it and going down any amount of stairs scare the SHIT out of me! So now, MRI. Then in a week and a half, my meeting with the surgeon. At least I'll have that whole weekend off after my appointment to deal with anything that I might need to. ie. Surgery! *shudders*

Where was I... so yeah, I've seen a few people on my friends page have done this so I thought, i'm ever so much the sheep *baa* so I did it!!
1. My username is ______ because ______.
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
goddess_julie because we were in Florida and I signed up for LiveJournal at leopardchic79 's insistance. I suck at finding usernames and pretty much just go with whatever I've gone with in the past. Goddess Julie came about back in my Backstreet Boys fanfic writing days. I went by Jules for the longest time.. then someone bought me a hoodie that said Goddess across the front. On one yahoogroup list that I was very active in, we were assinging out "Group" nicknames (like Group Mommy, Group Rebel, Group Angel etc) and someone had dubbed me Group Goddess because I had posted a pic of myself in the hoodie. I then had changed my authoring name to Goddess Julie and it stuck.2. My name is _____ because ______.
Julie because my mom really liked that name. I was *supposed* to be a boy, and my name was going to be Andy (not Andrew. Andy. Yes, Andy was going to go on my birth certificate). She'd heard the name Julie and didn't really know anyone with that name and thought it was cute, you know, if she was going to have a girl and all.
3. My journal is titled ____ because ____.
"This is better than TV, this is my life" (or the journal I was forced into getting). My life can be ridiculously drama centred. Which is laughable because I'm possibly the most boring person ever. But drama seems to follow me around. People are always joking that we should film my life for TV. And the sub-line is true because I was strong armed (although lovingly) into getting my livejournal.
4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.
The people I let know me". Because I'm very egotistical like that. *shrugs* It's true.
5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.
ZQ's "bitch please'. Because a) it's amazing. b) i say bitch please all the time. c) his faux toughness mirrors mine.

It's quite humourous how excited I get when I manage to do things in the technological world. This post is basically to pat myself on the back and I'm feeling very proud. So proud and giddy that I needed to use my "dancing michael rosenbaum' pic. Because that is how giddy I am.
My old phone. Well it died but not really but I didn't know that and ... I got a new phone.
And instead of getting the SAME phone, I got a different one. Meh, what harm could it do. Well it's a pain in my ass learning it, and all of the pictures and videos I had saved on my memory card didn't transfer over. It was kept in different areas and blah blah blah. And I didn't really understand what the girl was saying at the kiosk. But she said that we'd be able to retrieve them and see them on the new camera, all I had to do was upload them onto the computer and then reload them back onto the memory stick but in a different folder.
*insert blank stare here*
So I figured I'd do it when I got around to it. The thing with me is that I am technologically retarted. Seriously. I wish I were kidding.
So tonight I thought 'screw it.' Usually, I have to wait until I'm in a mood where I can emotionally handle when/if everything goes to shit. I don't have much luck with the comptuer or anything related. So I thought 'i'm in as good a mood as any, let me try this shit out'.
HOLLA!!!
Did it. *high fives myself*
All my pictures and videos are now avaliable on my new phone! SCORE!!!
I rock.
Now, if I could figure out why my new phone hates sending pictures to Rhonda and won't let her view the images, I'd be happy. But one step at a time.

I can't say anything catastrophic has happened. I shouldn't forget to take my medications, that is my first lesson I keep needing to relearn. I know I shouldn't forget, but I do. And then I remember when I'm nowhere near them, and by the time I remember again, I seem to figure I don't need to take it at that point. I know I do, but then I don't.
Ridiculous.

In random awesome news. Actually, the news that made my entire night! So back years and years ago, my cousin got this movie for Christmas. Mary Kate and Ashley Olson's Passport to Paris. Now, she was obsessed with the Olson twins and I swear we watched it like 100000 times. Over and over again, and I have to admit, I loved it. It was cute and fun and whatever. So I've been trying to find it on DVD for ages. Impossible. Nowhere to be found.
So, with my re-introduction to the world of iTunes after my 5 month hiatus, I've been searching it up to see what's new since I was on last. And a 'wish list' feature is definitely new. So I went in and saved some movies to my wish list (Holla to MIB, MIBII, Anchorman, Club Dread, D.E.B.S.. Harry Potter... you know, the usj) and was very sad to NOT have House Of Wax avaliable. *pouty pouterson*. Then I went into the tv show section and wish listed my favourite SPN eps and Arrested Development... which then brought me back to the movie part and I thought 'huh.. let me try.'
AND THEY HAD IT!
Yes I squealed. Yes I clicked "BUY NOW". Yes it is currently downloading. I am ridiculously excited. I'll be crazy hella happy when I get my spns downloaded.. am very sad that they don't have WaT on canadian itunes because there are a few eps that I would like saved...but yeah. Superfun! And god knows that I need to not keep just clicking 'buy now' because i could rack up my credit card crazy fast if i'm not careful. Because then I'll get into Smallville eps, and OTH episodes, and all three entire seasons of Arrested Development... followed by Heroes.. and then when I take a closer look, I'm sure there are shows I didn't even realize they have on iTunes. Plus movies... *crazy scream* Hahahaha.
Because seriously, I was looking at The Suite Life of Zach and Cody (both On Deck and not) and then Jonas and was like 'oooh, those are super fun...
Yes. I need help! HA!!

I did though, get to see Jamie Oliver today at Roy Thompson Hall. Granted, the woman who was conducting the interview was a bit of a dolt, and was the most insincere person (although I think it was due to a lack of preparation and having no clue as to what was on her cue cards before she'd gotten up there) and it was definitely too short of an interview. But he was sweet and funny, as per usual, and we got free copies of his new book out of it.
WHICH.. I used to make dinner tonight. Well, the salad anyways. I think his ratio of extra virgin olive oil to lemon juice in the dressing was a little off, but other than that, a very delightful day.
I'm back to rockin my ipod like it's my job. Which excites me to no end. I still get this jump in my chest and a sinking in my stomach when it pauses or stalls for anything longer than a second, but it'll be a matter of time before that's behind me and I've forgotten all about it.
And now I'm watching Zoolander. Like I've never seen it before.

I have been crazy productive today. Hell, this week. I got Mr. Sulu fixed, ended up going out and buying a new phone because mine is haunted... possibly with whatever devil was in Hermano.. I'm not entirely sure... and even mailed leopardchic79 's present. That is impressive in and of itself because I've been sitting on that thing for ages. AGES. And now I can't wait for her to get it, because I know she's going to LOVE IT! *whee*
I"m so going for best friend of the year award. Or you know, trying to live up to how awesome she is.
Tonight I went with a friend to a movie. I don't want to see New Moon until everyone else's seen it and even then I'm just going so I can say I've seen it.. And I'm going to see Planet 51 with my mom.. as well as 2012 (aka. The Day After The Day After Tomorrow). So we didn't go see those.. and the only other thing i *really* wanted to see was Couples Retreat.
I. LOVED. IT.
I adore K-Bell. And I love Jason Bateman like it's my job. And just this whole movie made my life tonight. And you know, K-Bell in her bra and panties didn't hurt! Hahaha.
Seriously though. LOVED IT!!!

In May Hermano died. I was uploading music, creating playlists, doing the usj and then by accident I clicked out of itunes without ejecting him. Everything *seemed* fine. The next morning I went to turn him on and nothing.
Nothing.
Everything was gone. I went home from work hours and hours later, and nothing.
Went to Apple, they reset him. Said he was okay. I came home. Nothing. Hermano then was retired and I got Mr. Sulu. Mr. Sulu was okay. Until he wasn't. Same thing happened about a month and a half later.
I was devestated. All summer I used my old disk man. Made cds and then just listened to them. I didn't go back to Apple (I made a few appointments then cancelled them). Too stressful to contemplate.
Then I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it.
Still got error messages. Damn you apple, damn you.
Then I fell. Tore my ACL and didn't do anything for 10 weeks. And now I'm just getting back to the real world of people who are productive in society. So I made an appointment at the Apple Store at the Eaton's Centre and dragged my friend Eryn with me for moral support.
Hermano? Dead. No hope of revival. May he rest in peace.
Mr. Sulu? They said he was fine. Battery was dead, but fine. Hmmmm. Suspicious. So instead of the dude just being *shrug* he called in another dude from across the room. Between the two of them they went over EVERY single trouble shooting issue that it might be. Like, thoroughly went over everything. Did you try this? Did you try this? Do you do this? How about this? I was amazed because they could have been like 'sorry, you're crazy lady. get out'. But they were awesome.
Then the one left to check on something and the other stayed with us. And he said 'do you ever download off of anything besides iTunes? Like Limewire... etc etc. And I was like 'oh god no... i'm so lame. I can barely buy from iTunes let alone download another programme (and I know Rhonda can attest to my issues with downloading programmes and ... well anything technical... but that's mostly because i'm the Black Widow of Technology). So he says 'it could be one corrupt file in your iTunes. And because you reuploaded it it's still there... Do you get the error message right away?' And I thought and was like 'BINGO!"
I converted videos via this page online so I could transfer youtube videos to my ipod. I always load Hermano/Mr. Sulu in the same order. Audio books first. Playlists second. TV shows third. Videos fourth. Then I start with A and move my way down.... by B my ipod goes berzerk. It's the videos...
So we go to Eryn's house and she gets an error message on her computer. Mr. Sulu needs to be scanned and fixed. But then that error gets an error message. So we go in and reset Mr. Sulu to factory settings. After that, everything's cool. Now, the big test. My itunes at home. So I didn't do it last night. I was Emo McEmoson after Supernatural last night and just went to bed. Went to work today and then came home. Started up my itunes and deleted all of the videos that shouldn't be there. Deleted them off my hard drive. Everywhere.
Plugged in Mr. Sulu. *holds breath* SUCCESS!!! I got none of the error messages I've been seeing for the past 6 months. I loaded Mr. Sulu up (and loaded him up good). Made playlists... it's like nothing ever happeend!!
HOORAY!!
And because I am the kiss of death, my phone died today. I guess that's the price. One gadget for another. So I had to go to Koodo today and buy a new handset. Which of course the memory card can't transfer the pictures over, so I have to load them up on my computer, reform the memory stick and then reload them onto the stick and then the phone.
Riiiight.
But I have a new phone (that isn't half busted) and Mr. Sulu! PLUS.. I have Star Trek on my ipod. Now i Just need to get Anchorman and the Men In Black movies and I'll be set fo' life!!!

What three items would you place in a time capsule to help future generations understand you? Submitted By |
This is hard. I was looking at the question for a while, just staring at it, wondering how I could possibly sum up who I am with just three items. Especially when so very few people in THIS generation understand me. (Myself included sometimes).
The first item was the easiest. I'd have to say my fic journal from when I was writing non stop. There are quite a few, locked up in a trunk in my attic, pretty much any one of them could be included. I'd probably prefer my "Fetish" series fic journal, because that really is where I was hardcore writing 5-6 hours a day. It has diagrams, character profiles, alternate scenes that didn't make it in, reasons for what happened, why they happened and how they became to happen. And also, in addition to using RPS, I created two characters that ended up spanning quite a few fandoms. I fell a little in love with each of the characters (yet still, to this day Billy is Rhonda's boyfriend and Kyle is mine) and sometimes still see guys around and think 'that's what Billy/Kyle would look like).
Second I'd have to say an ipod (that works, not Hermano or Sulu) that's stacked with all of my favourite music. Everything from PM Dawn to Backstreet to Ani Difranco to Billy Joel to Phil Collins. And everyone in between. I would have them all categorized into specific playlists and I think that is a big indicator of who I am.
Lastly, I would probably put together a photo album. Of my childhood, my growing up, and my now. Places I've been, people I've met, things I've seen. Not to mention just random pictures I've taken of things that have moved me, that have taken my breath away. I would put in things from my view point, how I see the world.
Even then, after all of that, I still think that future generations would only be seeing a glimpse of who I am.

Happy birthday my love. If I didn't suck, I'd have that story for you that I promised you! If I didn't suck, I'd have already sent this huge box of fun that shall be named the 'birthday present that still has not been sent'. If I didn't suck, I'd have been in the 'burgh last night for your soiree, pushing people on the dancefloor out of the way when Low came on (cuz you know, that's mah jam!!!).
But I do suck because ... well I didn't write the story, I haven't sent the present and I wasn't in the 'burgh.
I do love you like it's my job and I'm the CEO of that company, which by the way has gone international and projections are up!!!

Really? OVERNIGHT?
*awkward shrug where I try not to laugh*
First off, the most embarssing part of that equation is that in the morning, half an hour or so before the store opens the staff have to walk past you. Pitying you (and yes, they have tremendous pity for you). Judging you (yes, there's that too). And you, after sleeping on a sidewalk all night, try to go inside looking dignified.
Fail.
It's kind of like back in 2005 when BSB did their *first* comeback. And they did the MMVA's on the Sunday night and then Kevin, Howie and Brian did Chum, while Nick and AJ did Z103.5 and girls went straight from Much Music to their respective radio stations to stay overnight and camp out so they'd be first to see them at the interviews. Except I slept in my bed all night, got up, went for coffee and decided to swing by just to see if we could see anything at Chum and were... oh wait.. didn't we get closer than the girls who were there all night?
Pretty sure we did.
Yes. I'm a judgy judgerson. Yes I'm a bitch. But if people didn't make themselves such big targets I wouldn't have to be.
But what's funniest about this all is that if you insert Jimmy Choos with the newest Harry Potter book.. or a video game ... or a movie *coughStarTrekcough*, I'd be all about going at midnight and buying it first thing when the clock struck 12:01.
But there's a difference between lining up to buy something at midnight and lining up all night, sleeping out on the sidewalk in downtown Toronto.

The thing that drives me most crazy about fandoms are people who take themselves and the fandom serioiusly.
Backstreet was full of that. "We're not a boyband. We're a vocal harmony group." Girls would get angry if they were referred to as a boyband. The boys themselves (at least some of them) would be offended and annoyed. It was laughable and borderline pathetic. (And by borderline I mean completely). Don't get me wrong, I loved Backstreet. I loved everything BSB. I was knee deep in that fandom, but while i was a very active participant, I hated a lot of the things about it.
Then you had NSYNC. Chris, who was admittedly not my favourite of the group, gained my respect in an interview they did while at HMV on Yonge St in the height of their popularity. "How do you feel about being called a boyband" (or the question was something similar to that). He sat there and laughed. His resopnse was something like 'if people wanted to call them a boyband, they could. They could call them whatever they wanted, as long as they enjoyed the music and bought their cds and swag. If being called a boyband was going to get him paid, he was all for it.'
It's not about what you're called, it's about the fact that people are talking about you.
I also remember an interview with Rick Campenelli they did. They were accused of stealing the 'chair routine' from Backstreet and copying them. Again, they all laughed. And one, I think it was either Chris again or Justin, was like 'oh, we didn't steal it from Backstreet. We stole it from Janet Jackson. If you're going to accuse us of plagarizing, at least get the source we plagarized it from right'.
And every time they did SNL they made fun of themselves. They laughed at themselves so it would make the people laughing at them look stupid. And it was great.
I loved Thursdays SPN. I loved how much it mocked itself. How much it praised and mocked it's fans. Eric Kripke and the writers aren't stupid, they know their market and they know exactly what they'e doing and how to do it. It was brilliant and when it's on Space next wednesday at 10pm, I'll watch it again and love it just as much. I just think people read too much into things. They focus on things that aren't important and get upset about things when they don't really need to.
In random news. When the hell did my cats turn back into 5 month old kittens? Playing under the bed, going to places they haven't gone in almost a year.. Crazy!

Then why the heck are people in such a bad mood? Now, with the level of exhaustion I'm at, I now simply stop, stare and wait for the tirade to finish. This morning's was the best because the guy was yelling at me something fierce. Angry and frustrated and yelling. And I stood there, when I'd had enough I calmly stated why yelling at me is pointless and pretty much didn't react. It only made him look like an idiot and saved me from a spike in blood pressure and heightened anxiety.
A complete difference from yesterday.
Hooray.
The change in temprament today prompted me to come home and finally do some cleaning. I hadn't been able to clean for all of September and most of October due to the slight issue of not being able to weight bear on my left leg. And then it just got so dusty and dirty that it just seemed like too much to start somewhere. I didn't know where to start and just the thought of undertaking it was overwhelming. But at some point today I thought 'screw it, now or never'. So I went shopping after work (we needed a new microwave) and got some cleaning supplies (Fabreeze makes a dusting thingie now) and came home and started cleaning. Took a break right near the end to have some dinner and then came back up, finished and then took a shower.
Now i'm exhausted. And waiting for tonight's Supernatural. Which unfortunately I'm watching solo since
leopardchic79 is at the ballet. So it's ZIng and I flying solo and I'm not going to watch it in bed because I KNOW I'll fall asleep. Tomorrow I'm heading to the Royal Winter Agricultural Fair which I'm very excited about. I wish I had the whole day off but didn't think about it in time and couldn't get it off. So my friend is meeting me after work and we're going to head down. Check out the dog shows, check out the horse shows, eat too much food and kick off my weekend with a bang!HOLLA

Video on Trial. Will make any night much more enjoyable. No matter how enjoyable the night may or may not have been up until that point. Granted, they dropped the ball on Straight Through My Heart (I expected so much more from them), but Beyonce's Diva had me nearly peeing my pants. Hence, the subject line. Oh Dini, how I love thee. "Beyonce.. you can hang with Oscar, but you can not have one.." *insert ghetto voice here accentuated with head shake*
But I digress. Not at all the reason for my journal update tonight. It is an added bonus, but not the "meat" of the post.
My reasoning? Jensen's newly revealed engagement to Danneel (sp?) *shrug*. Now, I love Danneel. I loved her on OTH, which I admittedly am not up to date on. I still have season 6 to watch, and 7 is on TV now.. so yeah. I'm behind. But what else is new. But I loved her on One Tree Hill. And I'm sure as hell not going to hate her because she's dating Jensen. I never was all about hating on the girlfriends because they're girlfriends. Of course, I never really was up on the girlfriends anyways.
So yeah. The news has hit the interweb and I was a little worried. The first few posts I'd seen were all "OMG.. I'M DEVESTATED... BOOO DANNEEL..." and my thought was 'oh god. are. you. serious?" Are girls still that douchtastic that they're going to hate on a girlfriend and abandon the fandom. Just hating on the girlfriend is lame enough. But stopping writing is just ridiculous.
Well, actually the fandom could probably do well without them but that's neither here nor there.
My next thought was 'oh shit.. does this mean that the J2 fandom is going to fizzle out and abandon me?' Because *that* more than anything had my heart racing and my lower lip in a perma-pout. Jared can marry Geneveive (although I kinda really liked Sandy.. granted, I found out about Jared and Sandy waaaaay after it ended... but yeah... i liked the thought of them together... and I love fic!sandy so... *awkward shrug*) but yeah, so Jared can marry Geneveive and Jensen can marry Danneel, but that doesn't mean the stories should end! Right?
I mean, it's not like we think they're *really* together (outside of my fantasy world of course). And truth be told, I'm much more in love with the AU J2 universe than I am the real universe J2 fic. I will read well written real!universe Jared and Jensen, but I'm much more captivated by the AU worlds that are created. So then I kind of got concerned that yet another fandom I've joined will slowly disintegrate. And yes, I was more worried about the loss of fanfic than the actual relationship.
I have my priorities.
So... being the trouper I am, I continued reading updates on my friends pages. And low and behold, one of my favourite authors
mournthewicked had posted the exact same worry that I'd silently voiced in my head. People are going to keep reading/writing J2 right?? And THANKFULLY, her post had 38 comments worth of awesomeness that reinforced why I love this fandom and this community (the J2 fandom/community). The majority of her commenters were writers (god, I remember back in the day when I was among that group of people.. writers.. not just a reader) and they assured her that they would still be writing J2 no matter the marital status of both guys. They mostly write AU (yay \o/) and plan on writing. So that made me feel a lot better.I'm telling you. My reasoning for being worried is purely selfish. Selfish I tell you. I need my J2 fix like a junkie needs a hit.
That brought my train of thought to something
leopardchic79 and I have repeatedly discussed but haven't sat down to actually categorize. My fandom history. Both written and lurker-y. I'll probably forget some, I always do.. but it's just interesting to see how far I've come and where I've been.So without further ado, my list (that I can recall).
- Backstreet Boys (this started my fanfic world off. first with het and then finally into slashy goodness)
- Nsync
- Crossovery Sparkly Dance Boys (boybands with emphasis on Nick Carter/Justin Timberlake and Nick Carter/Kevin Richardson
- Queer as Folk (both cannon and RPS)
- Fast And The Furious (cannon, not really RPS)
- Lord of the Rings (mostly RPS with Orlando/Viggo - but there were a few Orlando crossovers with SDBs)
- Harry Potter (very short lived and mostly due to . my emphasis was ron/hermione and harry/ginny)
- Without A Trace (definitely cannon, there weren't a lot of e/e fic)
- a revisit to Fast and the Furious with the 4th movie (muahahaha)
- Star Trek Reboot
- Pinto Beans
- J2
I do have to say though. I hope that even with the the eventual end of Supernatural and the marriages of J2 and their lady friends, I really hope the fandom continues to flourish.

This time was special though. I was cooking dinner for my grandmother and myself. It was starting just as I'd gone down to the kitchen to start. She came down and watched tv with me while I cooked. She's never seen the movie. She's 81 and to her it was new. She was very shocked to learn at the end that it's 22 years old. At the end, while I was doing dishes and Lonestar was interrupting the wedding to tell the Princess he was a Prince my grandmother was all 'Julie, come over here and watch. Do the dishes later.." (all in Italian mind you). I told her I've seen it before and she was shocked. "You have?"
I have grandma.
She's so cute (sometimes).
But yeah, it was cute watching it with her when she hadn't seen it before so everything was that much funnier for her. And exciting. And it made me laugh harder.
I then finished off my deliciously made dinner with half a container of Activia Pro Biotic yogurt. *That* could be bad news bears. But it was SO GOOD!! That's what happens when you eat it right out of the container and not in a separate bowl. One miniute the container was half full, the next I was scraping the bottom.
Bad. News. Bears.
But so good!

The weekend always goes much faster than the week that preceeds it. I've been very productive this weeknd. Did some shopping, am almost done
leopardchic79 's birthday gift (now the challenge will be to mail it. Yes. I suck. Helped out with an amazing event yesterday and am now curled up in my room, catching up on LJ and deciding what to do this afternoon.I *should* go out and do something. This weather is beautiful and it's only a matter of time until the snow comes. But I say fuck it. FUCK IT! I wanna be lazy. I wanna just sit in my jammies and slack the day away. That's what I'm going to do. I watched Shelter randomly this morning, which led me to want to watch Dante's Cove (since it was on a preview of the movie). So I might do that. Although part of me wants to just put season 1 on, and watch right through until I've watched all three seasons. Of course, it won't be the same without my best friend here, but nothing ever is the same without her.
That's why this living two countries apart sucks balls.
I should watch some Smallville... I'm almost done season 4. Plus I still have Season 6 of OTH to watch and 5 of Numbers. But eff that. At least I"m not watching Grease 2 which is on PeachTree right now. It had just started when I turned it on and was captivated for about 20 minutes until I remembered how much it sucked and how precious my time is that I don't need it being wasted with that crap. Although, Christopher MacDonald is in it, and I absolutelly love him (who doesn't love Shooter McGavin).
Gah. effing flu. My ears are tickling when I swallow and my throat hurts. I don't feel sick just my ears and my throat. Lame.
In bed this morning, I so had more to journal about. Now, as I sit here (as per the usj) I'm thinking 'wow... what did I have to say?"
*shrug*
Off to peruse some j2.
