Blah. I hate having a cold :( That's what I get for calling off work Wednesday, I really DO get sick!

Anyway I don't have a lot of time to make a post, gotta go out to eat w/my mom here in about 20 minutes. I got to spend the past few days at Mike's house :) Yesterday we went for a walk with his mom and stepdad in Canal Fulton, along some of the trails. We'd been wanting to take a walk forever and it was such a beautiful day .. it was actually slightly toasty at one point so I took my jacket off and I got a little burnt! Oh well. I took Pepe the chihuahua ... lol that dog DID NOT WALK at all, for the 3.5 miles we walked. I carried him the whole way! Well, Mike carried him for part of it, and I walked the Chinese Crested. Those dogs are so cool.

The main thing I wanted to mention .. I found a new talent ... I'm a really good shot! Mike and his mom and Dan are taking a concealed weapon test/class whatever so they can get their licenses. I was REALLY against it ... but last night they went shooting in the woods so I tagged along and they're like, oh cmon, try it. So I did and I did pretty good! There were targets set up on little pieces of paper, with a small orange circle, about 2 - 3 inches across, inside a bigger purple circle, about 4 - 5 inches across. I stood about 15 - 20 feet back and made it inside the orange mostly and the purple sometimes, at least on my last shooting. But I've never shot a 9 mm before so I think that's pretty good! It was a TON of fun ... I talked to my mom about it and we're thinking about going to shooting ranges and all that, and getting our licenses too. I am REALLY against guns .. I would never carry one even if I got the license ... but gun safety is important. We watched "Bowling for Columbine" afterwards last night ... I always get teary when I watch that.

So anyway I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. Gah I wanna go shooting again! I think I'm gonna like study this stuff a little bit. It's fun! Mike said I'd probably be good at archery too, which is something I want to try as well. We'll see ... ciao!

Yeah, I deleted my last post on here. Not because I have anything to hide or anything, but just because I didn't want to be reminded of that. I just wanted to vent and get it off my chest. Thanks katz for knowing sometimes ya just gotta blow off steam. :)

Um ... *coughs* So I called off work today. I hope no one from work reads this lol. I am actually not feeling that well but I just need a fricking break. Yes this is the real world, yes I have to work, but I never call off (I think I did once because of my sister) and I just need some time for me. I am EMOTIONALLY ill, lol. I've had jobs nonstop since I graduated from school and I think I deserve a 'me' day. Yes, it'll be me week when we go to California ... but still. Hehe :) I think I work pretty hard.

I've been listening to a lot of old Foo Fighters lately. I think Dave Grohl has gotta be one of the best musicians of our generation (well, his generation).



I was ticked when I found out that the Foo Fighters and Weezer had a tour this summer and I missed it. Weezer is my favorite group from like 11th grade ... Rivers Cuomo ...



Wow, he doesn't look as good as he did to me in high school. LOL. I actually liked the other dude from Weezer, Brian Bell, he just seemed like an awesome guitarist guy. I had this picture in my locker for a long time ...



*shrugs* Now this is my favorite band!



Hehe, this may only be amusing to me ... but the guy on the left, the Duke of Pannekoeken/Kasson Crooker used to be known as the Duke of Candied Apples. That's where I got my myspace name from. I found this little blurb about why he calls himself the Duke.

Duke: Well, chances are, since you're asking, you, yourself, are not a Duke.

A Duke is a man who does things his own way, but means no harm to others.

He's cool with anyone and everyone.

Rest assured that a Duke will always be straight with you.

Also, a Duke will never stray whilst in a relationship.

If a Duke has eyes for someone else, he will cut his losses with you, and face the heat.

But a Duke does not go with someone for sex alone.

To a Duke, lust is only existent within a loving relationship.

Dukes aren't usually in possession of expensive material goods.

This is because Dukes tend to spend their money on experiences, as opposed to junk.

A Duke is usually well traveled.

Dukes always have many unusual experiences to tell you about.

Their sense of humor is also often in reference to pop culture.

Dukes don't like fascism, communism, or rednecks.

Dukes also tend to turn a blind eye to girls who think they're "It".

Also, I tend to enjoy the occasional candied apple!

I took this like a year ago and decided to retake it. It makes me laugh. I didn't know I was THAT lustful ...

So they made me close tonight at work even though I opened and closed yesterday. Whatever. My feet and my head hurt and I hated it tonight!!!

Tomorrow will be okay hopefully. It's my friend Mike from work's 21st birthday and he wasn't doing anything so me and Mike are gonna hang out with him for a bit. I picked up "Waiting.." as a gift since its the perfect present for anyone in the restaurant biz. Told him that me and Mike aren't much into drinking though, so sorry, even though its his 21st ... lol.

Oh yay, I forgot to mention, my wish came true - it's supposed to warm up this week. I've decided I'm calling off work on Wednesday and me and Mike are gonna take a couple of his dogs for walks in Canal Fulton. He says they need to get out more, and some of them are nervous by nature and need to get out of the kennel. So yay! Can't take Daisy the Chinese Crested though because she has puppies :( Maybe Hoggles! He's a pug that lost his eye last year when he tried to get it on with a dog that didn't ... want to get it on! :( I want to take a chihuahua but they are SO LITTLE, I'd be afraid of stepping on them! We used to have an Italian Greyhound ...



that was so little and so quick and underfoot that my dad accidentally stepped on her leg and broke it! They took her to the vet and had her in a cast right away and it healed quickly, but those dogs are so quick and fragile that it was inevitable.

Anyhoo, so yay ... I'm going to bed to play the addictive as hell Lumines. Night!

Your Love Life Secrets Are

Looking back on your life, you will have a few true loves. You're a little scarred from your past relationships, but who isn't? You prefer a quirky, unique person to be your lover. You're easy going about who you're with, as long as they love you back. In fights, you speak your mind and don't hold back. You know you're right, and you can get quite angry about it. Break-ups can be painful for you, but you never show it. You hold your head high.

Took another one of those dorky quizzes, but they always seem to come out right!

I woke up way too late today ... I only work 5 - close (8 pm) today and I'm sure I'll have to close. Fuck. I just opened and closed yesterday, so maybe someone will feel some pity for me, but I doubt it. Then I work 11 - 3 tomorrow morning/afternoon ... I'm thinking of calling off Wednesday for the hell of it. I have Thursday off, so I'd have tomorrow afternoon - Friday morning off. That'd be kinda nice. And Mike is on spring break this week so that could be fun.

*sigh* I wish the weather would warm up. I wanna go for a nice walk. Not in the woods @ Mike's (too muddy) but in a town. Last year in April we took Chi Chi (my chihuahua) and Eddie (Mike's Chinese Crested) for a walk in Barberton around Lake Anne. Eddie is the coolest dog ever ... he's hairless mostly but has hair around his feet and on his head ... he has a white and black mohawk, it's awesome. I think this year we'll take Eddie and Daisy, Mike's other Chinese Crested, she has some sweet hair goin on too.


Kinda what Eddie looks like, though I haven't seen him in a while.

Speaking of Daisy (she has a new litter of puppies), the FUNNIEST looking pug I've ever seen at Mike's house has new babies too! The mom is jet black but most of her babies are tan colored. She has the goofiest, cutest face! I used to think I hated Mike's job of breeding & selling dogs, but now I realize it's not that bad - I get to hang out with the cutest puppies for a few weeks, and then a loving family comes to buy them. I don't have to really take care of them (well, till we move in together), Mike makes sweet money, and there are new puppies moving in and out all the time!

If anyone lives in the area, I suggest not going to a certain pet store in Fairlawn/Montrose *coughs* near TJ Maxx *coughs* I don't want to say the name ... everyone can draw their own conclusions ... but basically the woman who owns it is very irresponsible and didn't give Mike much indication this his dog had picked up girardia (I think that's how it's spelled), a deadly dog illness. At first she said he wasn't sick at all, then she said he had "the sniffles". He passed away 24 hours after Mike came to get it, and also gave it to two other puppies who also passed away and she got mad at him for it. So, Mike won't be taking his dogs to sell there anymore. They do have a lot of cute dogs there but it's much easier to buy direct from breeders, and cheaper too. Mike and his mom take great care of the dogs, she used to work for a vet. They spent all day yesterday cleaning the puppy area with heavy duty stuff to get rid of the illness if any traces were left. If anyone lives in the area (NE Ohio) and wants pug or chinese crested puppies (what he has at the moment) leave me a message!

Blah ... I am tired of obsessing over stupid, little shit ... am tired of disliking people and stupid drama ... I consider myself one of the easiest people to get along with in the world, but it's is 9 times out of 10 the other person that causes a rift with me, where I did nothing to instigate it. It's such old news. I'm done with it ... no more bickering, snide remarks, blah. Later ...

Sorry I haven't been posting a lot lately. When the internet is working, I usually forget to make a post or have nothing to post about. Just been working like crazy lately. Today @ work, we are open from 10 am - 3 pm and I had to open AND close, so I was there from 9:30 - 3:45. That hardly ever happens; they don't make one person do both opening & closing duties. And I didn't even make $30 today we were so slow. I was pissed. And then some fucking ... I won't even go there ... PEOPLE bought the car I had my eye on ... so pissed ... the idiots didn't put a phone number on the car ... so mad. Oh well, if it was only $1500 it had to have something going on with it, it was a 1995 Cavalier and was in good shape. I don't care what something looks like (well, as long as it isn't rusty or poop brown colored) as long as everything is functioning properly and is an automatic.

I've been having crazy mood swings lately ... sucks. I'm just unhappy with my current situation of no car + need to move out (anyone need a roommate? lol) + people at work drive me insane. Mike is the only thing that keeps me sane and I lash out at him. I've been listening to a lot of Ra lately, a band Mike likes a lot. They are cool ... well ... I'm gonna go to bed and read some of my book ... "Vanishing Acts" by Jodi Picoult. It's really good so far ... or play some X-Men on PSP ... *shrugs* goodnight!

Yeah, my internet ate this big ass post I had written, GRR!

I am so tired of working so much lately. I know it's not really even THAT much. Work is just SO stressful all at once. It's super stressful for anywhere between a half hour to two hours, and I mean, you're running around like a chicken with your head cut off, trying to keep everyone happy, getting food, refills, cashing people out (money/credit card), doing sidework, helping other coworkers ... I really do like it. It's just getting to me a little bit, I think. And the money isn't that great. I've been neglecting my friends because I work so much, and then when I get home I just want to hole up by myself and not talk to anyone, because I'm super grouchy. I already worked 11 - 2 today and I gotta go back from 4 - close (anywhere between 8 - 10 pm) ... I hope there aren't any school events or anything going on. I just want it to be slow. Then I work tomorrow 11:30 - 5 pm and then 9:30 - close (about 2 pm) on Sunday ... not sure what my schedule is for next week. I'm just getting mentally tired.

So I can't even play "Me and My Katamari" ... it is the most headache inducing game since that Wario game for Gamecube. I LOVE the PS2 versions, but this one has the worst controls. At least I have "Lumines" ... Tetris on crack set to music!

Mmm ... does anyone love Peeps as much as I do? Go here and join the Peeps fan club!

To pass some time ...

I'm addicted to myspace. I just wanted to make a post and wonder if anyone else on here uses it? Goins got me to sign up for it forever ago and I only started updating it regularly about two months ago. Anyway, I made my own background and customized a template. Click here if you want to see my "Me and My Katamari" background. I picked up that game today and it's okay. However I am completely addicted to Lumines (for PSP). Anyhoo ... ciao!

Today was pretty good. Except for work, that is. I knew I should've called off, I was laying in bed a half hour before work thinking ... I don't want to go ... but it's a good thing I did for everyone else because we were pretty busy and I was today's "helper". There's always one server that gets less tables, no one's fault, but usually whoever is in section "B" is that person. Because there aren't as many booths, and people want to sit near a window. *sigh* Oh well.

Went up to Trade N Play and traded in Sims 2 for DS. I just couldn't stand how absolutely buggy that game was. I only got $9 in trade in value, but I basically beat the thing, and it only cost $20. I had no desire to ever play it again. So I picked up Lumines for PSP, even though I'm getting Me and My Katamari for PSP on Wednesday, hehe. It's pretty fun, graphics are great and the music is great, too. I almost picked up PopoLoCrois, a old-school style RPG for PSP but it was more expensive. And I really shouldn't be buying anything, lol ... but how can you resist these faces?



So I've been playing Sims on PC all night. Here is partially what I came up with; that's supposed to be Mike in the picture ... Click here, the picture is 1024 x 768.

Goodnight peeps ...

Today has been REALLY long, I just realized. I worked from 10:30 am - 3 pm ... LOL ... I set my alarm for 9:30. I turn it off and crawl back under the covers ... for just a few minutes ... what I think is a few moments later, I open my eyes and the clock says 10:22 am!!!! Luckily I set it for five minutes fast, and if I drive fast to work, I can get there in about 7 minutes. So I was riiiight on the dot, eek!

Was really slow today, shitty tables, I don't even wanna talk about it. People are so NEEDY on Sundays. Then this table of 20 came in (an hour before we closed, no reservation) and I doubt the server even got a $10 tip. They always leave a horrible tip. *grumble*

So afterwards I went over to Mike's and he'll have to send me the pictures but he sold a dachsund puppy! He gave it a bath and it was so cute!!! We also had a Bible Study with his mom and stepdad tonight. I really enjoyed it. Mike asked me earlier this week if I wanted to come, and of course I said yes, even though I knew I would be uncomfortable, just because he went to St. Vincent St. Mary (Catholic H.S.) and he knows a lot more about the Bible than I do. His stepdad is a 'born again' Baptist if you will so he knows a lot about it to, and his mom is Catholic too. I was raised Baptist and while we went to church all the time until I was about 7, when we stopped going, that was it, basically. I went sporadically with friends but not regularly. So anyway we took turns reading from the Gospel of Luke, about the birth of John the Baptist and the birth of Jesus, and some of his teachings, etc. There were a couple times I wanted to pipe up with something to say but I feel like a bad person some of the time because in my mid-teens, I questioned a lot my faith. I was researching every other faith and admittedly renounced God at one point. While I did that on the outside, on the inside I never felt right. I always felt, maybe Satan is fooling me with these other thoughts, like believing in astrology and things that are supposedly scientific facts. I could never shake that feeling. My mom even bought me a study Bible with a note in it for my ... 16th or 17th birthday that said she didn't want to see me going in the direction I was going, away from God. Switching subjects, we also talked about sprinkling water baptism vs. full immersion baptism. I think that both are acceptable as long as the feeling and purpose are there. I was saved & baptized at age 6, and while I knew what I was doing, and even remember it, I didn't have any dramatic life changes because of it. It was full immersion ... ha I still remember the water up my nose. Anyway, I've thought about getting baptized for a second time just because I feel like I've come back to God, even though I was never completely gone.

I am really not the type to go to church though. I even had a hard time reading my parts out of the Bible tonight. While faith is nothng to be ashamed of, I just feel it's really personal, even though I'm sure God wants us to celebrate faith together. I just prefer a more one on one thing and reading at my own pace.

Well, I hate feeling like I shouldn't talk about my faith because people get all grouchy and think you're silly for believing what you believe. I hope that all my friends on here though are understanding and wouldn't pass judgement on me as I would not on anyone else ... goodnight!



P.S. We also watched Miyazaki's new film "Howl's Moving Castle" ... he did "Spirited Away", "Princess Mononoke", and "My Neighbor Totoro", and some more animated films. This movie was absolutely great, stunning animation and a GREAT story. Also featured Billy Crystal as a hilarious character and Christian Bale as the voice of the main guy. 9/10 stars, simply because a few pieces didn't make sense, although they probably would on a second watch through. I loved it!

Stole this from a friend's blog ... I don't believe in astrology anymore but it's fun to see what it has to say! Your Year Ahead

I commented like she did after the predictions. They are in bold.

Your job expands in giant ways this year, especially if you work in an intellectual field (law, publishing, travel, teaching, etc.) Higher-ups value you – a promotion, a second job, and/or a pay raise are likely results! More importantly, your job progress in 2006 could lead to a major breakthrough from December into 2007 – a breakthrough that might bring fame, success, relocation, or marriage! (Or a longed-for divorce, if you’ve been unhappy).
I see this as relatively unlikely, at least in my current job as a waitress. Unless they want me as a manager, to which I would most likely say no. You have to learn how to work in the kitchen to do that. Not my cup of tea.

Love isn’t 2006’s biggest trend, though a co-worker could spark serious desire. Your radiant sexual magnetism, late February through mid-April, could entwine you with a sweet foreign-born person, or someone at school. You might attract someone with a streak of cruelty or muffled anger in June/July – careful! Your romantic courage surges in September/October. December might spark a serious, workable attraction. This month begins a long period of good luck in relationships – and could lead to marriage in 2007 or beyond!
Mmm .. nah, I'm already with a former coworker and have been for 16 months. I don't see that changin'. *shrugs*

Stress and communications “puzzles” can interfere with your work progress, especially in February/March and August/September. Relax more, and communicate wisely, calmly. (False cheer won’t work.)
This is actually spot on, last month and early this month I have having some major stress and communication troubles with people at work, but now we're doing a heck of a lot better.

Anyway, all me and Mike did was kinda chill today, went to my work for dinner, went out to Target ... Mike's chinese crested had three healthy boys! They are UGLY for the first few weeks (as all puppies are ... no matter what breed, ALL puppies look the same ... lol, even the hairless kind practically) ... but they will be insanely cute pretty soon. Played a bunch of "We Love Katamari" ... gosh that game is addictive. I'm so excited to get it on Wednesday! (Comes out Tuesday but I can't get up there till Wednesday). By the way Justin, I forgot to tell you - I don't have a lot for PSP. I just have "Creature Comforts" on UMD and "Ridge Racer" as a game. I've borrowed "GTA: Liberty City Stories" from Mike though and it's really good. He's also got that first "Untold Legends" and the "X-Men: Apocalypse" or whatever game that's available for it, he said they're mediocre. UMDs just look SO good on it, I bought him Dave Chappelle's standup UMD and we watched it one night, looks just like TV!

So yep, I have to be at work in 7 hours ... yay ... goodnight!

P.S. I just had a minor epiphany ... okay so it's not that great ... I changed my myspace headline to "I wanna roll you up into my life" because it's a funny lyric from a Katamari Damacy song. I then realized that for a lot of people, myspace and katamari are very similar ... in katamari, you roll a big ball around and try to roll up as many things (including people!) as you can to be huge ... in myspace a lot of people try to accumlate friends, sometimes people they don't even know, to try to have a huge friends list. LOL.

Just felt like making a post. Our hot water isnt working. Yay ... now I get to bum a shower at Mike's house maybe. Maybe I'll get to tan again, then I'll have to take a shower or I'll smell like fried chicken.

My Deviant Art Page

I uploaded some of my old stuff because I was bored. Please don't be too harsh ... it's old. No scanner working anymore :(

YAY! Day to wake up at 1 pm and eat ice cream for breakfast. That's my kinda day. And do a shitload of laundry ...

So after my post last night I went and read "A Child Called It" and finished it. It's a pretty short book, finished it in about two hours. What a sad, disturbing, enlightening book. I think it is a must read, as did the people who told me to read it. Makes you just want to take every poor little child you see walking around and hug them ... hoping their parents don't treat them like that mother did. Making her child breathe in clorox + ammonia (poisonous, bleach + ammonia is bad) and locking him in a room ... sleeping under a table with newspapers ... starving him for ten days and making him vomit after school to make sure he didn't steal any food ... and treating your other children like gold and not even referring to David as David, but as "that boy" or "it" ... I'm surprised I didn't have nightmares. It was the third worst case of child abuse on record in the state of California.

I also bought a UMD for my PSP called "Creature Comforts" for about $12. It was made by the same people who did Wallace and Gromit and it's about animals just talking about life, domestic and wild animals. It's hilarious. Suncoast in the mall is closing down for whatever reason (too expensive I'm guessing) and all of their stuff was on sale. Pretty sad though when their stuff is so expensive that being 50% off won't make you buy it, like Mike said yesterday ...

So I'm bored for the next two hours until I gotta leave for work! ... *twiddles fingers*

Today started out not so great. First thing when I walk into work, manager Denise says "Heidi I'm gonna need ya to hustle today because we've only got three servers (usually at least 4, usually 5 for the lunch rush) and there's a lot to do." So I thought, crud, it gets crazy even when we have 5 servers. But it turned out just being quite steady, more like slow, even just for us 3. If there had been 5 I probably wouldn't have even made $20, but I ended up making about $40; not bad for 3 1/2 hours.

So anyway me and Mike went up to Fairlawn; he preordered Suikoden V and got the soundtrack and mini-artbook! *sigh* I love Suikoden but I'm so annoyed with the huge boobed characters. There just OUTRAGEOUSLY, unattractively large, like old school Lara Croft unrealistically large. *shakes head* Oh well. I also preordered "Me and My Katamari" for PSP yay!!! I will receive this when I pick it up ...



It's not the actual thing but it's a pouch of the Prince's head!! I can't wait; it comes in March 21 I believe, so that's Tuesday!!

We also went to the mall and I bought the coooolest earrings.



I loves them, especially with my bird necklace! I needed some new cool earrings ...

Also saw my ex, Gus, and his girlfriend Catherine ... I haven't talked to either of them in a while; been busy w/work and Mike and my sister being sick, things just aren't happy for being social at the moment. And I really like Catherine a lot but she made this comment how we didn't have to stand around and talk to them. It's just like o_o I haven't seen ya in a while so I didn't come up with a million things to say ::heart!:: She is cool I just am not good at coming up with conversation, lol ... especially when I am as tired as I was at the moment. *shrugs* I feel like I never do or say the right thing socially anymore. Should just live under a rock ...

Then we went over to Borders and I bought $40 worth of books! LOL ... "A Child Called It" which I can't wait to read, another book by Jodi Picoult .. she wrote "My Sister's Keeper" which I read a few months ago and it made me cry. "The Orchid Theif" which is what the movie "Adaptation" w/Nicolas Cage is based on; great movie. And another sort of obscure book called "Into the Wild" ... I needed to buy some books & read. In fact after I write this I'll probably go read "A Child Called It" and finish it tonight. It's not super long and what I read of it, I didnt want to put it down.

We also watched "Walk the Line" tonight; I saw it in theatres with my mom. I had never really listened to Johnny Cash before, so I had no idea how off Joaquin Phoenix's voice was ... LOL he tried though, it's such a good movie!

Well I'm pretty excited to read that book so I'm off to it. Ciao!

Well, my better judgement has finally won me over (rarity). I've decided not to get a tattoo until at least the fall, if at all. We are leaving for California exactly two months from today, and while different from what the dudes at Sharp Images said, his tattoo artist told him to let it heal for two months. But in between now and California, I have to tan some more to build up one so I don't burn. And I read on quite a few FAQs its not good to tan with a tattoo in its healing stage. And I really honestly am not sure where I want it, if I get one at all. While they really do look awesome, I just don't know if I can decide what I want. I'm too indecisive. I was really close to getting one yesterday but I'm glad I didn't. The guys at the tattoo shop are awesome, and their tattoos are great, but I just don't know if it's right for me right now. I am thinking of getting another piercing however. Either a third hole on my earlobes or a piercing up in the cartilege (however ya spell it) by the top of the ear. I've always liked that. I considered getting my eyebrow redone, but decided against it ... it didn't look that great on me honestly, and it was something I really liked in high school but I don't need it again. *shrug!* I don't know, blah I have to leave for work in two hours ... probably gonna get a magazine and sit down to eat for a while beforehand. I'm sure I have to close tonight -_- Oh well. Just wanted to make that statement. I even tried walking around with a triforce on my arm (easiest thing to draw) last night and this morning, and while it's super looking, I just don't know how I'd feel with something like that in a wedding photo. Meh I dunno!

While today started out pretty shittily ... had a table of 12 Red Hat Society Ladies that RAN me around like mad and only left me $15 ... not good by the way ...

The rest of the day was fun. Jackie at work convinced me to go to Sharp Images with her (tattoo parlor) after work - but I ended up getting out WAY later than she did. I went over there anyway, but I definitely didn't have time to really look at any portfolios ... I have decided I'm getting a tattoo pretty soon, but ONLY if it will be healed by the time we go to California. I can't be swimming in salt water and tanning with a fresh tattoo. So I'll probably end up waiting until fall (sigh) but I can't risk infection, even though I'm itching for a tattoo!

Me and Mike hung out tonight, was a really good evening. Got a quick haircut at Best Cuts, I really like my stylist. I gave her about a $7 tip, she was really nice, dealt with my tangly hair (naturally just super tangly) and gave me all these tips for my hair texture. She was cool. I've never given that big of a tip, lol. But, I'd rather make someone really happy and let them know they are doing a great job (especially when the teenage girl getting highlights didn't look like she was going to leave her a tip).

I just felt ... really euphoric tonight at one point, I realized what a complete grouch I've been to Mike and how much he really doesn't deserve it. I already knew that, but I just get so grouchy about work and living here at home that sometimes I just lash out at whoever is near. I think I use up all my niceness and patience on people at the restaurant, lol ...

Anyway, I don't have to work till 4 pm tomorrow, yay! No getting up early. Always fun, though I might anyway. I plan on going back to Sharp Images tomorrow to talk some more about tattoos. When we went back in there this evening, I showed him a sketch of what I was interested in (True Wind Rune from Suikoden), the size, all that, he said it'd only be about $50. So ... I'm gonna do some mega tattoo studying ... ciao!

My mom called me about 10 minutes ago at 8 am. Shes at the hospital with my sister still ... I know I haven't talked about Jessica much lately, that's because she's in stable, but not so great condition. They said she might be able to go home today, but this morning they decided no. She has to cough all the crud out of her lungs first. *sigh* She has been sick for nearly a month ...

The "whoa" was for the fact that I haven't woken and STAYED up at 8 am in I don't know how long; unless I had to work at 8 am, lol. This is weird ... not even tired ... I did go to bed at about 11 pm last night though, lol ... just thought I'd make a post ... JustinB, I would be super interested in a review for Age of Empires whenever you have time to write one! My handheld game interest right now though is Me & My Katamari . One more week!

Blah. I have to work 10:30 - 3 today and then Mike is picking me up and we're gonna go over to Best Cuts (he likes it there for some reason) and get hairdos, then maybe go to the thrift store. That boy is addicted to books :) And I'm addicted to clothes ... so it all works out!

"Emotions and Photons" by Freezepop
another day flows by
time travel gone astray
my mind in disarray
i could have run away to be with you
i could have run away to be with you
i should have run away to be with you

once we got lost in the woods with your hand
interlaced between mine
and i stared straight at the sun and imagined the beams realigned
emotions and photons
that flicker like bees when i look in your eyes, intertwine

six stories above
i watch the world creep by
i used to be in love
and that's enough to make me high on you
and that's enough to make me high on you
and that's enough to make me high on you

*Sigh* Is it wrong to want to hear stuff like that?

Firstly, I had a pretty darn good weekend. Spent 65% of it at Mike's, the other time at work. Boo. We went to see "The Hills Have Eyes" Saturday night, and I won't talk about it, but it is hands down the most disturbing, gory, and sick movie I have ever seen. I have never been so close to walking out of a movie; I always said it was something I would not do, just kind of dumb. But by then end I had changed my mind, while it was still ALL of those things, I usually don't get "into" movies, i.e. twitching and getting tense during really crazy action scenes, but I did in this one. I was nauseous, about to cry, and tense from all the craziness. Should've garnered an NC-17 rating however, that's how flat out disturbing it was. Not appropriate for anyone under 16, PERIOD.

We also went for a CRAZY walk in the woods tonight. We left at about 6 pm, had our head-light things on our heads, some weapons ... saw this freaky ass animal (in my opinion) and I got pretty nervous ... all you could see were its eyes reflection on the water when we shined a flashlight at it. It probably wasn't anything dangerous but it freaked me out. So we started heading back (pretty far out anyway) and had to go through all this treacherous stuff, got all nasty and funkified through water up to our knees and who knows what else. Took a nice shower after though :)

I almost forgot, I also tanned for only the second time ever today. I've always been against tanning, but I think I REALLY need to get a tan before we go to California so I don't get BURNT. I'm going to try to tan just once a week for ten minutes each time for the next two months. Mike's mom's tanning bed is really nice, I get SO nervous in there though ... even with the little goggle thingies ... I went in right after we ate and I was so nervous my food was gonna like cook more inside me!! LOL ... and this stupid fly kept landing on my leg but I couldn't swat it! But I already look a LITTLE darker, just a TAD. I was/am the pastiest person ever.

But what I really wanted to talk about ... all the games coming out that I want to get!!!

Suikoden V on the PS2


Obviously ... well, Mike is going to end up buying this. But first I have to beat Suikoden IV. Suikodens I - III has been the best game series I've ever played, consecutively, all AWESOME. But IV isn't nearly as great, I'm having a hard time getting through it. But Suikoden V comes out before the end of the month ... kickass!!!!

Me & My Katamari for PSP


Katamari Damacy & We Love Katamari are the most innovative games I've ever played. I can't even describe it, because it sounds stupid, but they are just SO ADDICTIVE. Who WOULDN'T want to roll a big bumble ball around and collect food, people, bikes, buildings, boats, and rainbows in it? There's nothing NOT to love. When this comes out for PSP, I am THERE. Unfortunately I dunno if I can preorder it, but if I do I get this SWEET pouch that looks like the goofy shaped heads. Rock on!!!

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for Gamecube/Revolution


Everyone has been waiting FOREVER for this game ... when I first heard in October it was delayed ANOTHER 4 - 5 months until April, I was so aggravated I said I wasn't going to get it. Of course now that we're near the (supposed) release date ... of COURSE I'm going to get it. It's Zelda for crying out loud. I considered getting a triforce tattoo. I have three Zelda shirts. It's just not a question; I guess I was just aggravated that something I love so much could put me through such ANGUISH!

Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings for Nintendo DS


I haven't really read a lot about this game, but what I have, it looks and sounds sweet. Age of Empires is pretty awesome, and I'm really interested to see how they use the DS in this game. I bet it really helps strategy. I have really high expectations for it. I probably won't buy it until I hear some REALLY good reviews (JustinB?).

Well I guess that about wraps up my video game chatter. Hope everyone enjoyed. Night! :)

Yay, I finally had an evening off today. Work was yknow ... work. Busy, kind of. But I worked with some good people today so it was all good :)

Mike picked me up around 4:30 and we went out to Wadsworth to Trade N Play, my favorite game store :) It's independently owned, and the two dudes who work there are REALLY nice. I used to go in there about once a week but I haven't been there in about two months, at least :( When I went there today though, the guy was like "Hey, been a long time!" I was like :) Nice that he remembers me. We didn't end up buying anything, games for the DS aren't so great (at least their selection) and we're looking to presale Suikoden V (PS2) and Me and My Katamari (PSP) ... I can't wait for the new Katamari. I'll play that while Mike plays Suikoden V :)

Then we went to the new TARGET in Wadsworth! I LOoOooVE Target. Some of their clothing is a little too bohemian/trendy for my tastes but in general I like it. It must've opened within the past week or so. They have a really nice grocery selection, I bought Hello Kitty bandaids and some veggie corn dogs (I love corndogs) and they had 12-packs of pop on sale there for $2 a piece!!!! So I got 5 12-packs of Diet Coke for only $10 and at the gas station they're usually like $4+ a piece! ;)

And other than that we had a good night, lots of talking, lots of love :) We fixed some food ... just generally had a great night :) *Sigh* I have to work 11 - 3 tomorrow and then go back from 4 - close. I'll hopefully get out around 2 pm (I'll complain if I don't) and then we close at 10. If I even have to close, I'll strangle someone, but I probably won't. Mike's hanging out with some of his friends tomorrow night and some people from work were talking about going to BW3's, highly doubtable tomorrow night considering Mike and Chris (main people that were talking about it) have to close tomorrow night. Sadness, I'd like to hang out with people from work. Well ... not all of them, but a good chunk of them :)

Anyway, everyone have a great weekend if I don't post ... internet access is goofing up ... download Freezepop's "Shark Attack"! It's about Wheel of Fortune!!

That's right ... I've made it through ONE WHOLE WEEK without eating ANY meat! LOL ... it feels like a MONTH. And I'm not dependent on meat, it's just, I really like a certain salad at work that has really good chicken in it. And now I have to get it sans chicken. Or when we have to eat fast food, I have to get fries (not so good) basically and their fish sandwich, depending on where you go it isn't very good. I got a fish sandwich from work today and it was good but WAY too big. Bleh ... I worked 11 - 2 ... and I have to go back 4 - 8! What kinda crap is that ...

But anyway I think I am going pretty good. Still taking my vitamins. Generally, I am happy, but I have still been feeling just SO lethargic and apathetic lately. I don't understand why. I honestly think I am clinically depressed, because I don't really have anything horrible going wrong with my life, I have a great boyfriend, I like my job, and I have good friends. I just feel so antisocial and hardly do any of my hobbies anymore, such as drawing, or reading, even. ::sigh:: Anyone have any advice? I just feel like ... oh ... I'll do it later ... who cares ... :(

Read this short comedic article about Morning Wood!

It's ridiculous. I can't believe how awesome that concert was. Unforunately I had to return to work today after having three days in a row off (totally unheard of) ... I'm obsessed with all things electropop. I've even decided to make my OWN. I gotta dig out my synth/keyboard, get proper cables, and I'm on my way to creatin subpar music! ::sigh:: I'm sure nothing will come of it but it will keep me busy for the time being.

Work was work tonight, some great tipped tables and some horribly tipping tables. But I don't really feel like talking about work. I wish I could relive this weekend and say something that made more sense to Liz of Freezepop. Oh well, lol. If anyone is a fan of the game Amplitude, please watch this video. Thank you :)

Le Video of Freezepop - Super Sprode
Funny stuff! They performed that song this weekend too!

P.S. Check out my completely horrible song that I made in high school ... this is the beginnings of my new projekt however ... Cherry Blossom Girl

Okay, I stole these from someone who had the brain to take a camera Saturday night. Her livejournal is here. I hope she doesn't mind! I saved them to my Photobucket account as not to use her bandwidth.

Here are some pics of Liz Enthusiasm ...



I love her fashion sense ...

Here is Sean T. Drinkwater ...


He was a great performer! ...

And last but not least, The Duke of Pannekoeken. I think he is my favorite, too bad I only found one pic. THIS IS HIS SHIRT THAT WENT W/THE MUSIC!

I found a couple of the Duke's other musical projects, such as Symbion Project and a lot of other stuff you can find here: http://www.symbionproject.com...

Anyhoo, that's what I got to see!

Wow. This is gonna be a long post! Just a warning.

Friday at work was nothing crazy, a really good night with some good coworkers but I didn't make very good money. Mike picked me up and I stayed over his house. :)

Saturday

Okay. We woke up at about oh, 8:30-ish I think and Jerome arrived at about 9:30 am. Jerome is Mike's friend and has a friend who lives down in Wilmington (where the concert we went to was) and wanted to hang out with him, so we gave him a ride. The drive from Marshallville to Wilmington was about 3 hours. We got a little turned around in Columbus (though Mike says we didn't!) but other than that everything was cool. This is where it gets tricky. We dropped Jerome off, and turned around to go to Xenia about 15 miles away to our reserved hotel room at the Knights Inn. We knew it was going to be anything majestic, but it was cheap, and that's priority. So we get there ... get our room key card ... our room is in the dead end corner next to a (no joke) barbed wire fence and like this giant van blocking the view. So we're like ... meh ... go in ... there are TWO beds (should of just been one) and one of them wasn't even MADE, and there was a stain on the bedspread! The room was totally skanky. So we complain and ask for a refund, figuring we wouldn't get one but might as well try. They try to give us another room, we walk all the way across the lot to find that the key card didn't even work. So we just said, screw this, we're not staying here. They said they couldn't give Mike a refund because he'd gone through a travel agent (hotels.com) and used a credit card. Whatever ... we'll just take the $50 loss. So we left, drove back towards Wilmington and ended up staying at a Holiday Inn, REALLY nice place. I'll get into that more later. It was $150 after taxes however ... but it was about the only place to stay. Oh well. We drove back into Wilmington before getting ready for the show to buy ... stuff. Okay we were going to drink sake. We couldn't find any ANYWHERE and I was getting pretty upset. We didn't want to get hammered but I was excited about it, ya know? I also wanted a bathing suit because the hotel had a pool but nowhere within 20 miles was a damn Wal-Mart, can you believe that? Grr. Anyway, we head back to the hotel to get ready, and leave for the concert at about 5. Get there ... it is the tiniest club ever, called Joe's Java. A group called Goodnight Star was already playing, they were pretty good. Let me remind everyone this is Autobahn, Electronic Pop Music fest, so everyone is using synths basically. Here is a picture of the dude that is Goodnight Star:



So then the next group up is from Akron, called 20goto10. They ROCKED ... the girl from that group is awesome, she has this really deep voice and their synths are awesome. Here they are ...



It was crazy, at one point I was using the loo and Mike was waiting for me and she asked him where to get a burger, then later during Freezepop's set she was dancing right next to us. Frigging tall, too.

After that was ELKLAND! They rocked insanely ... the lead singer was totally getting his groove on. I was gonna pick up their CD but forgot :(



After that was Travelogue. Meh ... seems like they had a HUGE following but we didn't dig them too much. Jerome didn't go to the concert but we told him about the band afterwards and he liked them too. I guess they are husband and wife ... just kinda sucked live, they are pretty good otherwise. I imagine it'd be hard to do synths live.



Then ... *dies* it was time for Freezepop! I forgot to mention - when we first got there, we saw Liz Enthusiasm of Freezepop (lead singer and all around cool chick) walking around and were like :O :O :O Because we both really like her. Then ... when we went to the merch tables ... it was Freezepop THEMSELVES selling their shirts! I was just totally speechless. Liz herself sold me this shirt (in girly tank top):



I said to her, because I had to say SOMETHING to like my favorite girl of music, "Wow, it's really awesome you guys are out here ..." and I meant selling shirts, because hell, they could have someone else do it. And she was just like, "Oh yeah, we try to ... " etc. I think she thought I meant just performing in general. Oh well, I didn't wanna make a complete ass outta myself so I just picked out a shirt (last one!) and got the hell out. Mike bought a hoodie. She seemed really grouchy though. But ... ah it was still SO awesome being RIGHT there and talking to Liz!!!



So anyway ... now Freezepop is ON!!! WOW ... best performance ever! Not that I've been to any other concerts. But they were SO COOL!!! I can't get over it, I just can't. It's all I've been thinking about ... they didn't get to do a whole lot of songs because their equipment was screwing up. But where we were standing we were only like, 15 - 20 feet away from them. I'll show pictures of the other band members.


Sean T. Drinkwater ...


And the Duke of Pannekoeken! (Where my myspace name hails)

The Duke was wearing this SWEET shirt that had like, bars on it like a music player that were in tune with his synths, so his shirt was lit up and changed along with the music!!! It was hands down best shirt ever. Liz was dancing great ... Sean was going crazy, dancing in the audience, well Liz did too, like 5 feet in front of me, so cool! The Duke was my fave though during the song "Shark Attack" they were going nuts! It was the best thing EVER ... I just wish I was a little taller because I don't think the stage was any higher than the floor so that kind of stunk. But oh man, totally stellar, wonderful, amazing!!! They also performed "Parlez-Vous Freezepop?", "Super Sprode" (people actually threw undies on the stage where they say "Now throw your undies on the stage .. no wait, you're underage" ... song is featured in the PS2 game "Amplitude") ... "Here Comes a Special Boy", "Science Genius Girl", and a new one or two.

But ... me and Mike were feeling REALLY crappy so we decided to go back to the hotel. We missed Norway and Joy Electric, but JE is playing in Akron later this month so we'll go see him then. I bought their CD and it is totally sweet; "Ministry of Archers" is most kickass synthpop song (not by Freezepop) ever made.

So we go back to the hotel, still elated on feelings of awesomeness. Then starts the madness. Our phone rings. I answer it. Just giggling. Shit, I can hear kids in the opposite room behind our bed. I hang up. We figure out that there are boys and girls in seperate rooms trying to call each other because the girls didn't say anything till Mike picked up the phone. So Mike calls the courtesy desk and complains (we were TIRED!) and it stops. Then, after we eat and just relax and try to go to SLEEP, we hear all this loudness, music playing, banging, running through the halls at ONE IN THE MORNING. It's like 5 - 10 kids just SUTTING out in the hallway because they're not allowed to be in each others rooms. He calls again and they send security up but not for like 10 minutes. Then ... banging on the fucking walls ... UGH it was a total nightmare. But we got to sleep.

Sunday

Lucky me, I got to wake up at 7:30 am due to the banging from the neighboring room. I just ended up playing Sims 2 on my DS and waiting for Mike to wake up. When he did at about 8:30, he went down to the desk and complained because they woke him up. It was ridiculous, our stay was horrible all because of irresponsible parents!!! They didn't ask us when we checked out how our stay was. Figures.

But anyway the ride home was uneventful, played some fun car games with Jerome and generally it was okay. Until we stopped at Steak N Shake in Mansfield where we waited 15 minutes for a table (they thought we were with a larger group), waited another 10 for our waitress, waited about 25 minutes for our food, and didn't even get our shakes until Mike asked another waitress for them. We hardly left a 10% tip; the waitress didn't even apologize for not bringing the shakes and only stopped at our table a total of three times (to get our order, bring the food, and briefly while walking back to the kitchen). You cannot have pride as a waitress, sorry, you just have to suck it up and apologize if you forgot to bring something.

Me and Mike took a nap when we got back to his house ... I wasn't and still am not feeling 100%, my throat has been KILLING me and I've been SOOO dehydrated. We kinda had a little ... not argument, but I got kind of upset about something. I won't talk about it here but it left me feeling depressed for the rest of the night. :(

Well ... thank you if you read that WHOLE thing ... I wanted to chronicle our adventure! It was a wonderful weekend even with it's ups and downs ... I got to see one of my favorite bands live ... found some other sweet groups ... it was great! Hope everyone had as much fun this weekend as I did!!!!

Okay ... this'll be my last post until probably Sunday night ... I have to work from 4 - close tonight and then Mike is gonna pick me up ... I packed up my bags of possible outfits ... LOL I'm using the same bag I took to FLORIDA (pretty small actually) and I have as many clothes in there now as I did for a whole week! ::rolls eyes:: Hehehe ... and I realized when we go to California in May, Mike and I will celebrate our year and a half anniverary there (May 19th) so neat!!! The thing that sucks ... I'm kind of losing my voice and my nose is slightly runny :( I would like to not have to work tonight but you just don't call off on a Friday or Saturday night unless you have a good excuse :\

So ... I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! I'm going to get a minor hair trim before work so ...ciao!

I have no clue what to wear to Autobahn Saturday night! I want to look awesome because ... well, Freezepop has a song called "Freezepop Forever" where Liz (the singer) says "Liz Enthusiasm is my name ... wearing funky clothing that will put yours to shame ... shopping about 18 hours a day ... you'll find me at thrift shops and on eBay!" So I have to look sweet. She has good fashion sense :) But I also want to be comfortable because 8 bands ... at like 5 - 10 songs a piece ... that's a long time. I bought these today for 50 cents!




They rock. But I dunno if I wanna wear a skirt. I do have those cool boots I'm wearing but they get slightly uncomfortable :( I am torn ... I'll just take a shitload of cool clothes with me and figure it out tomorrow night or Saturday at the hotel!

I love Joy Electric! Check out my myspace page to listen to them; I made my own layout/background to match the song ... MY PAGE!

Ciao!

For some reason I can't comment! I write it out but it never loads. So thank you so much again everyone for thinking about my sister!

Funny @ Rite Aid the other day. We were looking at supplements for me to get and they had like penis & breast enlargements, and what was basically viagra for men and women. Mike's like ... definitely don't need THAT! ... for me he meant ... ::jitters:: This weekend is gonna rock, I've been missing him something crazy in that respect! I can't help it I have lots of desire!! T_T

Yep ... well, really good news however, my sister is out of the hospital. I thought it was KIND OF too early ... considering she was seizuring pretty bad two days ago, but I guess she just got a minor infection while she was in there and that's what caused it. Anyway, she's back at the Hattie Larlahm Foundation now and resting! My mom said she was so happy to be home, and everyone there missed her ... :') Thank you everyone for the prayers and thoughts!!

Worked a split today and hardly made $40 :P Ah well. So I'll just post the health crap for today ...
