01:42 am - One Lst post for Bed

I love this icon by the by. 

Any how all tagging of the moment is complete. 

I've been commenting a lot.  Please, while I like commenting, don't get too used to it.  Some of it is a defense mechanism.  I don't want to look to much at my life, I'd have a panic attack if I stopped to think about moving across country to an ultra conservative area to a bf I don't know what the future holds with while I leave a steady job for no job out there yet.  yeah even typing it gets me breathing fast. 

But I should go upstairs,  I spent most of today cleaning my room.  While throwing out cloths and sorting jewerly and makeup happend as well as throwing some things out...anyone who knows me cleaning up if actually code for moving stuff around to make a bigger mess in a different area.  Right now that bigger mess is on my bed and if i want to sleep I need to put it on the floor--though ideally in a way that doesn't completely counter act the spirit of cleaning.  I don't know, it will probably go back to the corner I cleaned out.  Night all.

01:18 am - Jeff update

Jeff got a facebook which meant I was able to ask him about the book he suggested to me in this post.  It's called Lord of Light be Roger Zelazny.

Just figured I'd throw that out there for my use and maybe others if they were interested. 

It's occurred to me that I've bee sloppy with my tags.  I'm going to do what I can to fix that.  I think I'm the only one who cares, but its late fore me and I like typing what I'm going to do.

Oh and no one who cares reads this, but Lauren is so not over Jeff yet.  Man that bit of interaction on his facebook is interesting.

12:05 am - Preparations

I’m pretty much all set for the Angel Expo/Psychic Fair on Sunday. I hope to at least make back my table fee (I’m aiming for at least double), but if I don’t – at least I know it’s going to benefit a children’s hospital. I want to sell art commissions, I will sell art commissions. I’m also offering readings and chair healings as well, but I’m in an artsy mood. ^__~ It’ll also be nice to reconnect with some colleagues. ^__^

I’ve got my signs all set, tablecloth ready, table decorations secured, crystals picked out, decks all set, pamphlets folded, business cards packed, order forms ready, mini-clock packed, art samples secured, and clothes picked out.

I just have to remember a water bottle and a little lunch to pack tomorrow. It figures that by the time I remember to pack myself a lunch at night, I’m always too damn tired to do so (or I’m at a point where I forget about food). *is usually up late doing coursework* *silly professors apparently enjoy sending more assignments in addition to the ones we already have* Yeah, so as soon as I get home from the Hearthstone Manor I’m going to dive into more coursework.

I got a lot done at the library on Saturday. I started weeding through the children’s videos to make more room in the section, so I put some of the decent ones that I weeded out for sale and people bought them. ^___^ I was also able to put some search techniques I’ve learned thus far in school and they were a success. *big grin* I’m also paying closer attention to Page/Patron, Librarian/Patron interactions.

Current Mood: tired

12:09 pm - Have I mentioned that I'm not a morning person?

So this morning I actually had a warm breakfast and ended up being short on time to pack a lunch. In a pinch I throw into my lunch bag one of those instant Chicken Lo Meins - or so I thought.

I ended up with a shrimp one. -_- Me and most seafood don't mix well together.

So now my lunch consists of 2 granola bars and some Lemon OH!s which I found in the back (and are making me giggle way too hard to even eat them).

*stomach growl* ;___;

Ah well, maybe weeding through the children's videos to make room on the shelves will distract me.

Current Mood: hungry

07:41 am - Character meme

What the heck... as seen by nearly everyone...

Pick a character that I have written -- or maybe even a character you could see me writing, if I know him -- then 5 numbers between 1 and 100. Comment with the character name and the five numbers, and I'll answer the five corresponding questions from this list.

For very best results, a character I've written more than once, as I have better headcanon the more I write someone, but I'll give other characters a shot. I'll take the same character more than once as long as the numbers are different.

(Feel free to give numbers without looking at the list, if you'd like. If the character is such that the question you picked is irrelevant for some reason, like a question about childhood for a character who was never a child or something, I'll just pick the next higher number.)

Feel free to check my writing tags if you need inspiration. ;-)

The concert was very interesting.

Two people came up to us and gave us front row seats, center stage. That was weird. We were behind the general admission (I would have bought those tickets had I known that's where the mosh pit was). . . but at least we had seats.

The concert wasn't quite as commercialized as that big Land's End thing, but it was a close second. Concerts sure have changed. I remember when they were warm. . . when the crowd bonded together in a sort of "oneness." I remember the lawn seats, blankets, and picnic baskets. . . sunscreen, booze, and pot.

The concerts I've been to around here remind me of TV. There's commercials thrown at you in every direction, blinging lights all pizzaz with little substance.

Trent Reznor seemed tired, old, and as he put it "cranky." And for 3/4 of the concert, he performed behind a screen that changed into a display with various visual effects. Blah.

Parking was $25, drinks were $10, t-shirts were $45. All in all, it was great and I'm glad I went.

07:18 pm - I Did it!

Gave my two weeks today.

So the good news was that it wasn't as hard as I thought and as bad as my job is, my boss really is a nice guy.  He was fair and understanding about  it all. 

The bad news is that I was so relieved and so interested in being accommodating I agreed to work three extra days to train a replacement if my boss could arrange someone (hey Kathleen, is Anne still looking for a job?).  My bf is going to be pissed when I tell him (sometime later tonight when and if he calls).    And I'm worried for my dad (he insists on escorting me and I don't want him to have to take too much time off).  

At least all went relatively well and it could have been much worse.  I'm more relieved and happy than worried really.

C'est la vie.

06:52 pm - Huge Icon Update Yesterday

You know it's what I do, apply at monster for jobs I'll probably never get and update my journal's icons. 

I'm a little addicted and I have way more icons than I could ever need or want.   Just saying when the posts are short and sweet, you'll know why.  I still feel compelled to try all my icons out and I have a lot of scattered thoughts.

So the posting has begun.

hexennacht

12:39 am

If everyone knew 1984 was when everything was going to happen, why was no one prepared?
Hexennacht is an alternate universe MWPP game set in 1985; a world where Gellert Grindelwald is now the Minister of Magic for all of Europe, and Muggleborn wizards live in fear of the Black Caps, Grindelwald's personal army, charged with keeping the Muggles and wizards alike in line. Hexennacht begins with the latest decree restricting magic allowed by Muggleborn wizards to the simplest forms of magic, while the purebloods are allowed to get away with murder. With the Death Eaters on the run, Voldemort in Azkaban with no hope of getting out, and the Order in hiding, along with the remains of their single ally, a former terrorist organization, is there any hope of restoring Europe to a land of tolerance?

Full information can be found in the moderator's info.

Game can be found here.

Wanted Characters: Death Eaters (Rosier, Karkaroff, Crabbe, Nott, Selwyn, Travers, et al.) James Potter, Peter Pettigrew, Antonin Dolohov, The Weasleys, Prewetts, Bones, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Malfalda Hopkirk, Sturgis Podmore, Severus Snape, Heathcote Barbary, Merton Graves, Orsino Thruston, Donaghan Tremlett, Gideon Crumb, and others.

09:40 am - Phew...

Because The Menace has gone back to school now, we decided this was a good time to go out.

On Wednesday we went to Colwyn Bay to look at the bookshop. It was a lovely day when we left home and I was dressed accordingly, including sunglasses. By the time we were half way there it was completely PISSING it down.

There was nothing much at the bookshop, as expected really. I had said to hubby that I would rather have gone somewhere else, but he was adamant that it had to be Colwyn Bay, just because we hadn't managed to get there at any time during the holidays.

Of course, by the time we got back to Crewe, it was pissing it down there too. We waited for it to ease off a little, but In the end I decided that I didn't want to wait any longer and we made for home. Hubby turned up a mostly intact umbrella that someone had dumped in a bush, so, any port in a storm and all that, I used it until we were nearly home and it had stopped raining. Then I placed it in a bin, so at least it wasn't littering the place up anymore.

Yesterday we went to Preston. I took an umbrella this time. In the Book Clearance centre, I found one of the books I had been looking for for a while, so that had the day off to a good start for me. ^_^

We headed to the market/car boot sale and in the main part there was practically nothing of interest. In the smaller part on the first stall we visited I turned up a couple of books I wanted and hubby found a Dandy annual that The Menace had not got. On another bookstall we turned up eight assorted annuals and 'The Beano Book of Britain' for £1 each and on the stall next door to that, we got a Dandy annual and a mini Beano Comic for 10p each.

We went to the Oxfam Bookshop and we picked up MORE annuals in there! We picked up four annuals from the main part for £2 each, but on the display wall they had a 1977 Beano (Which we already have) and an older looking Dandy which we could not find a date on. They wanted £3.99 for it, which we wouldn't normally pay for a Dandy, but because it was something unusual, we bought it.

On getting home I looked it up and it's the 1962 Annual. Bearing in mind that it would have been printed in 1961, that makes it 47 years old! Of course, it's not in mint condition, but it's not bad considering it's age. The spine is all there - that's usually the first thing to go - but there is a bit of a stain on the back cover and some of the pages are slighly loose. The Menace has had a look at it, but even he doesn't want to damage it any more, so we've put it in a plastic bag and put it somewhere safe. I'm pretty sure that if we were to go to Hay-On-Wye and find a copy there in similar condition, they would be asking at least £30 for it, and probably more.

After that we went into The Works where I bought another five books, then we had to dive into Home and Bargain to grab a couple of canvas bags as we had too many plastic bags to comfortably carry.

Fortunately, hubby is at work today, so we can't go anywhere. I just about spent up yesterday. Normally we are lucky to find just one annual when we go out as Menace already has quite a few and we are really just gap filling. Yesterday we bought fifteen!. But we have to buy them when we see them.

11:14 pm - They just put the 13th episode up!!!

I don't understand. . . how guys can be so cruel. They can have this beautiful woman groveling before them, saying, "I'll even kill my best friend for you" or "you can kill me once I am useless to you," and still. . . the dude doesn't want to fall in love.

She's willing to do anything, anything at all for love... even give up half her life-span to have "the eyes." I just don't get it.

I bought a Death Note notebook today in Chinatown while doing laundry. The poster for Deathnote was only 2.95, so I picked one of those up too... I love my Death Note book. It has all the rules written out against blank pages... And it came with a necklace with dog tags that has: Name, Age, Sex, blood, and birth.

The Death Note poster is so beautiful. And for $3, how could I say no??? It has the best picture of Ryuk...

Hey Everyone.

I just started this journal because I love making icons.
So if anyone would like any icons of celebrities or people for roleplaying, just let me know. :D
I have two posts in the journal so far.
