Ugh. Sears repairman was supposed to call yesterday to check if he could come today, but didn't. Well, actually, if you look at the caller ID, they waited until about 7:15 when we were out to dinner to call. He was supposed to then call my phone, but didn't. So last night I was a bit concerned that he wouldn't come today, that my parents would have to wait weeks until they could get it fixed. I was going to wake up and call the 800 number, but then he called at 9 saying he was 15 minutes away. Took him downstairs when he got here, noticed that the area was a pit. Thanks mom and dad for not preparing for the man. They are in the  basement, next to the wood burning stove and cobwebs. On top of the dryer is all our supplies, I had to clean that off. Poor guy. Who knows, maybe he is used to odd places.

Now he wants payment, and I have no idea what I am supposed to do. There is an EXPIRED card in the drawer.

Called them, expired credit card in drawer will apparently work anyway.

Am so behind on Caliga. I think I have 23 things to read. Maybe I will get to that this weekend, that was the plan, but who knows if I will.

I made Caleb do the dishes. *evil grin* His mess, he cleans it up.

I think I need to see a doctor about my allergies. They have been bugging me for the last couple weeks, and not in the way they used to. Usually, my eyes itch a little, then slowly progress into something (get ready for the ewww) growing in it, and only if I let it go too far, like without a pill. I've now been taking pills everyday, and they take the edge off, but not really. I have to put a cold compress on them to get it to stop. Well, thank God for insurance, right? I need mega-allergy pills.

So, I came to Davenport and sat around staring for an hour or so, then my sister came over with her kids and their new puppy. Cute dog, named Lady Bree. I thought it was Sadie, but I was wrong. I like Lady better, as in Penny Lane (to me, they don't get the reference). We went to dinner then to rent movies, then watched Untraceable (while yelling at the kids to get back downstairs to their own movie, we don't want them to have nightmares). They *just* left. No time to write the rest of the Demelza scene I thought I could finish up tonight. Will write it tomorrow. *rolls eyes*.

I am exhausted. Am really excited for parents memory foam deluxe mattress. Will probably wake up tomorrow, clean up a bit (as my 11 year old brother is a slob, he is only here in the afternoons alone until my brother picks him up, and SUCH a mess.) then I might do some scening. The plan with my brother is to stay in pajamas and watch movies all day.

Demelza scene will be in top priority. I hate to post a placeholder. :(

How weird it is to scene a semi-smut scene while you ENTIRE family is calling you? First my sister and brother, my niece and nephew and younger brother. Then, 20 minutes later, Vicky. Then a short while after that, my parents.

It's like they knowl,

 me: now my mom has called me. weird night for calls
Kate: hehe  You're just popular.
me: I NEVER get calls. Now all of a sudden everyone is calling me. during a semi smut scene my entire family is on the phone *headdesk*
Kate: They know.
me: There is no other explanation. mind readers. *glances around*
Kate: hehehe
Kate: Little Susie will come around and knock heads.  "I'm trying to get a little action over here.  Do you mind?"

*shakes head*

In other news, have decided to watch some SPN. I miss those boys.

Am leaving tomorrow after work to spend the weekend with my younger brother since my family is up in Washington DC moving my other brother into his dorm. Will be watching my nephew Sunday, and Lisa will bring the new puppy over. I swear, they get a new animal every time I see them. 3 cats and a dog.

It is freezing in here. Turned the air up(as in degrees) a little, and have the fireplace on. :D The kitty is enjoying herself immensely.

I just cut myself on a Funyun.  WTF self.

Am at work, bored as hell. Seriously, if I wanted to, I could leave for about an hour and it wouldn't make one bit of difference. ... Am thinking about moving my car later. Hrm.

Vicky got to see the first episode for the 3rd season of Heroes. *is very jealous* She spoiled me, but IDC. It was good. She comes home tomorrow (YAY), late, I'll already be in bed so I'll have to leave the door unlocked for her. Now that I think about it, I wonder if there is enough room in the living room for her mattress. Tommie's room smells like ASS, or I'd let her sleep there.... might have to air it out, not that I think it would do much good. Seriously, that kid had major smelling issues.

Eliza Dushku FTW. I found non-buffy looking icons for Demelza. :D:D:D They are pretty.

Now, back to boredom.

I JUST posted a audition for a character and my brain comes up with ANOTHER one!!!!!!


Am OCD enough that I think I will make her a Gryff. maybe I just need a completed set? I have a Slytherin, 2 Ravenclaws and a Hufflepuff.

And am dumb. forgot about Ron.

Maybe I need an original Gryff? i kinda made the others up by myself.

Hrm.

Well, she wants OUT. Like, she is angry I don't have time tonight to write another audition.

*large sigh*

EDIT: You know, I always forget about Ron. I wonder if that adds to his complex? (Jo forgot him too earlier. I think it's a regular thing.)

Kate writes damn well. Susan is amazing, love her. She writes with great metaphors and depth and I say, "they go here and sit down. They talk. The end."

I'm so envious.

(Not that I am asking for assurances, you want to post a comment, make it Kate love.)


XD

And look at that. I already had a Kate Love tag.


She probably thinks I'm nuts.

So, made some Melissa George icons (btw, the internet is REALLY good here unlike every other time).





The black eyed ones are freakin creepy. *shrug* I have an evil!Simone icon, then.

The construction people are starting to warm with me. They got really annoyed with me at first because I wouldn't remember their names (Especially the Newman guys from Newman and Newman. What, like I'm supposed to know you're a relation? They just blinked at me) but now they are starting to quip. *nods* It's a little fun.

WOOT! Break!

Old meme:






Dyed V's hair. Looked like she had a head wound, the dye was so dark red. We're waiting for it to dry.

Ball scenes are done! Was doing alright the whole day and then all of a sudden my internet decided to quit. So, V wanted me to come over later anyway so I came earlier. Felt rushed the whole night after that and the S/J scene was extremely hard to write. *sigh* My googledoc folder is near empty. hehe

Meme taken from mugglechump

This is a list of the top 100 money making movies of all time, bold the ones that you have seen and strikethrough the ones that you could not be paid enough to see again.




4 of them that I haven't seen are cartoons. I'm REALLY okay with that. It's kind of a pattern. Also, it's kinda scary that out of 100, I've only missed 8. Hrm.

Am trying to plan the Masquerade. Is not easy. I have no idea how to decorate for one. Hrm... may need to watch movies WITH Masquerades. That's my kinda homework.

PS~ V! I hope you find that dog, let me know if you need help.

Just had to take a quiz for work online. First of all, it hardly covered anything I encounter. Pretty much, it was for the whole University. A waste of my time. None of the passes were on there, not like what we are trained with in the normal cash handling meetings we've had before.

*shakes head* At least I got paid for that.

Am thinking of watching the Bourne trilogy now. Bored, nothing to do. That or catch up on a certain show I'm watching. Nothing fancy for me tonight folks, just a scene with Kate that I dread writing. *shudder*

Vrs found for Ron: (wrote them all regardless if I liked them or not)
Zach Ward: Weird looking(he has a squarish chin...), too old
Seth Green: Taken
Rupert Perry-Jones: Blonde, old
Simon Pegg: Old, but perfect otherwise
Adam Pascal: Old, wrong.
Josh Homme: Weird, fat, beefy. Red headed Greg Goyle, really.
Alan Tudyk: Old, but perfect otherwise
Prince Harry: Don't really like the guy. I want to like my VR...
Eric Stoltz: Too old
Jamie Campbell Bower: Long hair... no. That's what I didn't really like about the old Vr.

Other non redheads:
Cillian Murphy
Carmine Giovinazzo
Eric Szmanda
(some of these I found by just clicking on the names at this website. I bet people driving through thought I was looking at porn. hehe.)

Then Liz had the bril idea to look at other RPGs. Who is this? I could do that... maybe... still not perfect. I am really picky. i know.

Will ponder some more. Will look at the people I think are good for Ron and compare icons.

ok. So I need help. I looked at Giovanni Ribisi today and said to myself, "RON!!!"

Who agrees? (I will change his hair color if I do decide to go in that direction.)

Pictures

Poll:

So yeah. If no one agrees, I will drop it. But seriously, I DO NOT like Shawn Ashmore for Ron, I just couldn't find a better one.


(and look at the mood pic for 'weird'. Hilarious.)

I need to come home and SCENE! So when I am back on (around 4) PING ME! Otherwise I get too caught up in stupid things, like movies.


I need to get back in it, folks. I haven't scened in weeks. 

I graduated today. Was weird. I was just going through the motions until I started walking down the massive amounts of stairs onto the Carver Hawkeye Arena (Visual Aid ) when it hit me. Can't really explain it, but I felt tears coming. I held them back though. No idea WHY I was going to cry. None. So we get down there, and I will admit it, Vicky, it was smothering and hot down there, we were shoulder to shoulder. Near sitting on each other. And it did take a while. But the speech made by the student was really REALLY good, and the others were mildly amusing. (Like when the guy speaker--no idea who he was-- was making a point of saying politically correct things, I have no idea how many times he said African Americans-- but then said "African Americans and gay people." heh.) It was worth it.

So it ended and I threw my cap in the air. Didn't do that before in high school. Was  cool-ish. Then my family and Tommie's took pictures. We drove to D-port and my parents gave me $250. Wow, Was not expecting anything, they paid for my education. So much for my money worries on the TX trip. :D I was a bit worried it would be a little tight until Tuesday when I would get paid.

Oh, so I called Vision for less when I was in DC and asked if my contacts were in. the lady got really snippy with me and said that it took 7-10 days.

Fine.

So I call in yesterday and they say that I never confirmed that my contacts were good.
A) SEFHSEFSHAFLKSFDLIK!!~!!~~~!@!!~!1111
B) I DID when I first got them.
C) why didn't that cunt tell me when I first called?
D) Damnit. I NEED an extra pair in TX, or it's my glasses for the rest of the trip. :( I am pissed.


Am now sitting talking to Elisabeth from Caliga about Simone and Ellie. :D Nice getting into the swing of things again.

Wish Vicky was on. Or Jo, Laura or Liz. Or someone else to chat with, beyond pleasantries. Am really bored. Made some Alias icons, that took an hour. (It's either be bored or watch The Great Debaters and The Golden Compass. But after watching Cloverfield with them, I get annoyed. They talk ALL through it.)


Am now plotting. :D:D:D:D Oh, I do so love to plot.

*sigh* Finished all Caliga scenes(I'M DONE!!!! I'M DONE!!!!! There were like 36 there!), caught up on all shows (except 30 Rock), and printed out my sections of the group paper to read from when I present tomorrow. Can't be persuaded to do more. Hate school... Will write other presentation tomorrow in between classes. Hopefully it goes as fast as I think it will...

Was GOING to go to the library tonight, but all of my papers were pushed back to next week. So, that wasn't good. Pretty much insured that I will not do them until this weekend. Turned in my notecards early though. She was pleased. Then I BSed my way through an pop-essay on that crap book that I never could read.

Ugh. Monday I will be done...
Ugh. Monday I will be done...
Ugh. Monday I will be done...

Slight scare about the trip. I texted Vicky asking about the dates (AGAIN, because my brain is all leaky) and she said the 1st or 2nd we will get back. Ummm.... my brother is graduating the 1st. And since MY graduation is at 930 in the morning, I figured his would be too. This had the potential to make us drive through the night. Was NOT looking forward to it. Then I found out it's at 5. AWESOME! I would blow it off, but my brother is valedictorian. He gives a speech. I want to see it.

Decided to start reading Pride and Prejudice. Don't know why, just feel oddly motivated. My mom has these antique books and I think I may try to read a few. I'm not sure if she has ever read most of them, or if they are purely for show. Me thinks it's a bit of both, especially lately. Speaking of, my mom's memory is a bit crappy as of late. She kept asking the same questions over and over, and I would get aggravated with her before I realized that I should hold my tongue. My grandfather(her father) had Alzhiemers, so she has been afraid for years that she would get it too. She went back to school, and she works all the time, because it has been shown that the more active you are mentally, the later it shows/slower it progresses. I felt like an ass.

Need to sleep, but am too awake. Crap.

PS~ All my shows kinda sucked. Is disheartening. But at least I don't have to wait so long for them to be good again(thatis, if they get better tomorrow..)

So, yeah. Just got out of my Psych class. Got a good grade on my paper. Funny thing, he was like "I only gave 1-9's on this assignment, even though it was out of 10. I just wasn't feeling too generous." I got a 9 and 1/2. Oh yeah. I really think I am going to get an A in this class. I am really excited. It's weird how the farther along I get, the better I do in school. It's how it always works out.

Anyway, we decided to do the Internet recruiting for cults as our research topic. Thank MERLIN this is only hypothetical. We decided we would run an ad in newspapers across, (where ever we find the most cults... there is a better name for that, I just can't remember it. I'll just say groups). for example, the midwest. Then we ask if they would like to complete a survey, send them it, and add up how many were recruited from the internet and see if that has been a big change over the years. Yeah, it's kinda cool.

So then we got off topic and Manaal, a girl in our group said that Facebook was like a cult. They check it at least 6-7 times a day. Me? Maybe twice a week. They were shocked. So apparently, I am "getting the shit poked out of me" later. Waiting for the emails....

Then the guy in our group asked me if I would participate in his study for his other class, and I did, I am sympathetic to all who have to do that. Recruiting is HARD. Turns out, it was a racism test. One of those that I learned about in class. You go here and It is one of those computer things that test how fast you answered things. CRAZY, and I was a little excited that I got to do it. I've heard about it for so long, that it was nice to actually DO it, so I understand how hard it was. I KNEW what he was testing, and I still got a preference for white people.

I don't think you can cheat that system. not unless you timed all your answers.

So we are meeting Sunday before the shift I picked up at the library. Convenient, because we are meeting there, and I work there. :) I think that teachers who want to have group projects should have a minimum of 3 weeks before the paper is due to assign group things. It is hard to work around 5 people's schedules. There is a girl in my group that is so nervous when speaking, she literally said UMM 206 times in her last speech. And that was only after my friend Julie started counting. Probably not the entire time. Poor girl. She hardly talks ever. And when she does, it is stuff that I have to shoot down. Like, recruiting people through the internet for our study. Ummm, that is biased. Especially when we are looking for  how many people are recruited through the internet. All we would get would be that result. And she made the suggestion to make a fake website and recruit people to a fake cult. Seriously? Has no one explained the idea of ethics to you?

I was so tired yesterday, I put my shirt on inside out, and didn't realize it until I got to work. hehe  

Has anyone figured out that email thing from Caliga? I got a few saying Pansy posted yesterday, but other than that, nothing. Help?


Dylan comes home around the end of May. Yay!!!!


Look at the mood theme. Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica. Love that episode.

EDIT: WHAT THE CRAP!   How does that happen? How does it work? Can she see out of all eyes? Eat out of all mouths?

Just got an email from Old Navy saying that it is Road Trip time. How did they know?

So, I just got back from class. Had to write paper yesterday, and it was REALLY hard. How to stretch a page and half story into 3? Dialogue! (btw. Had to ask Vicky how to say that in English last night. Could only think dialogo. Progress!) Then I went to my second class today and we had to write something there. Can I just say how tired I am of coming up with stories? It sucks. I had to expand on a short story, change the ending. Let's just say mine sucked. ::nods:: Wednesday we get to read them aloud. Oh joy...

I work in a couple hours... going to watch Alias until then. Think I may start over. Around this time of year I get an Alias jones(? Right term? Whatever... I am using it) and need to watch it. Then I move onto SFU. It's a cycle. Then I watch my other shows over again.

Yes, I know. So interesting. Will be available tonight for scenage if anyone is interested. I get off work after 6, so around 6:45 I *should* be ready. I add in time for dinner and other such nonsense.

So, I haven't gotten any emails of the posts made to Caliga in the last couple days. I ALWAYS get them.,. what the hell is wrong?

Watched Evening with Patrick Wilson and Claire Danes. Good, just wish it would have ended with more of ... something. Think I will have to read the book, as you know they cut shit out. Also going to read Atonement. I am making a list(anyone got any suggestions?). I am going to get bored FAST without school. I have had summer classes for as long as I can remember... never a free summer.

I plan on volunteering at different places as well, trying to get a feel for what I want to specialize in. Autistic kids is not it. It is fun and interesting, but I couldn't do it for the rest of my life.

Speaking of Evening, does anyone have the Michael Buble song "I've got the World on a String"? It was in there and now I want it. Hugs if you do.


::sigh:: Am going to take a shower now as I have gotten quite bored. I had planned on sleeping later, only til about 10 or so, but I woke up at 8 as usual. Except this time WITHOUT my alarm. Stupid.

A. I love the Office episode. GREAT. Jim's face is GREAT when Jan shoves the candle in his face. And Dwight? OMG. "It's purely carnal." hehehehhhe
B. 30 Rock is awesome. Frank asked the fat guy(Lutz?) to form an alliance. YES! LOVES! AND HE SAID FRAK!
C. Today is friday. Woot!
D. BSG is tonight. Again, WOOT!
E. My mirror/cabinet is leaking water in the bathroom.  Right down to the outlet... soooooo safe. :D So, Tommie called Gary our landlord. It apparently just streams water out of the inside of the cabinet. Probably from upstairs. Strange. See? I told you I hate the bathroom. Kitchen and living room are the only things I like about this apartment.

Have to go to work soon, blegh.

Talked with Elle for a while making plans. Was fun.

Edit: talking to Elle sure puts one in a bouncy mood. I don't doubt that while walking to work I will do it with a smile.

Pretty productive today, I finished 2 scenes, started a third and made plans for about a bajillion. Made an ass of myself trying to explain time differences, but I was trying to do about 5 things at once, so I'm over it. Ron is fun to write, I keep referencing cannon, and it is so great because I've never really been able to do that before because my other characters are all made up.

I made a Six Feet Under/Battlestar Galactica/ Veronica Mars mix of a mood theme. By made, I mean I mixed other people's mood themes. I have no idea how to crop and resize. None. There is also a random pic of Javier Bardem in there from No Country. hehe. I thought, well, when I see mood pics that I like, I will upload to photobucket and just keep addingto the multifandom thing. That way, I am supporting all shows. My hand hurts from all the copy/pasting and typing today. hopefully it stops by tomorrow, I have like 3 or 4 scenes to do then.

Am now catching up on 30 Rock. Why I find it necessary to constantly be watching something, I don't know. I need a new addiction. This one is getting old. (And my rather large dvd collection isn't supporting my habit, ntm Vicky had my netflix for a month)

We are watching a movie in class tomorrow, we had to go to a cafe and take note on the environment there, or ambiente. Earlier, I couldn't think of the word in english, and got excited. That happens sometimes. I think I dreamed a bit in spanish last night., That was weird. Also, I watched Hot Fuzz yesterday at work and felt a twinge uncomfortable when the swan was on. I had a bad dream about a cat attacking me, but not a duck of any kind. That was weird. (And I am now frightened of cats. Except probably kittens. They are okay.) Vicky linked me to a video of crazy cats, and I couldn't watch it. That is so weird and annoying. Why the hell was this dream so bad? I don't even really remember it, but it must have been bad.

And I am listening to Michael Buble, which I love. Need to go to sleep, though. Yawning constantly and I took Nyquil to ensure that I get some sleep, as I was up late last night.

which mood to choose!! I was so limited before, now I have limitless variety....
