06:08 am - Picture spam!
I have a few pictures from Halloween and a few at the end that aren't to show you.
( Behind a cut for her pleasure! )
Today we flea bomb/fog the house. *sigh* Fortunately, we got a type that has what's called a "dry fog", meaning that we don't need to turn off the pilot light or unplug the refrigerator. 'Coz that would be a bitchkitty. (And, YES, we read the instructions on the canister, just to be on the safe side.) We are, however, going to turn off the smoke alarm because THAT would be irritating to hear for 3 hours. We'll also have some massive sweeping, Swiffer-ing and washing of clothes/sheets after we get back. Should be fun. NOT! *sigh*
Goddess, let this kill the fuggin' fleas! I know we're all tired of being bitten, especially our lil' puppyhead Tasha! I know as a Wiccan that I'm not supposed to wish death on any living creature, but the fleas are testing my faith MASSIVELY!!! O_O

octopon - Pirates of DarkWater fandom asylum. Completed!
gotham_gazetteCompleted!</i>
vagrant_story - Vagrant Story fandom asylum. WIP; will be deleted unless more interest is shown.
And,
Please feel free to join commedia; a personal project of mine, aiming to review and analyze comics (and other selected media) that feature DC Comics' The Joker.
It is currently a WIP because I am still going through my 500+ hardcopy!issues collection. I do not download torrents/scans.
I'd like to point out that currently I have two polls up for debate, as can be seen here explaining two routes the asylum's project can take. IE: spoiler free reviews, spoilerific reviews, and whatnot. =) Otherwise, the FAQ and The Rules are already up. The tags/memory post is still a WIP.
I am also open to affiliating with other comic book and/or Batman related asylums, except for RPGs.

I am back, and now taking requests if anyone needs any icons made for RP.
07:30 pm - Librarian Job...GOOOOOO!!!!
On Saturday I start at the downtown library as an official Librarian. It's a second position, so I'm still at the suburban library of West Seneca as a Library Associate. I'm at both places part-time.
I'll be at the Humanities & Social Sciences reference desk (which has been combined with Business, Science, & Technology...so basically all of nonfiction). As far as I know, there's some sort of training checklist/program I have to go through. I heard from my boss today (she took me out to lunch ^^!) that it can be intense because you have to utilize the approved sources. Being that I'm familiar with the library databases, things should go well. Also, it's pretty much going to be strict reference (as compared to smaller branches where you do a bit of everything).
However, I'm a mix of nervous and excited. This is my foot in the door. I make a good impression here and I have the opportunity for more hours, a position with benefits, and security during an unstable budget period. I must do well, I will do well.
I can't wait to hear patron questions!! I learn so much from them!! The urban environment should be interesting as well. There's free parking in downtown Buffalo on weekends, which is a plus for my first day. Though, it will suck when I have to pay for parking on the weekdays, but I'll make back the money.
Cross your fingers for me everyone!! ^___^

The last couple of days have actually been pretty good. My seasonal depression stuff hasn't been nearly as prevalent as it had the last few weeks, which is a miracle in and of itself. Yesterday, I spent most of the day trying to rid the house of fleas for something like the 4th time. Sprayed stuff, washed stuff and washed AND sprayed our dog Tasha. Hopefully this will take 'coz this crap is the pits! You KNOW its bad when the fucking things start biting people.
I haven't hopped on World of Warcraft in the last few days, mostly because I seem to be so damned tired lately. Not sure why that is although it could do with hormones. Goddess only knows, really. Trying to motivate myself is a bitchkitty, but somehow I manage to take care of the house and cook a dinner for the girls when they get home.
I've started filling out surveys online to get some sort of money. There's a couple of companies I use and I'm slowly trickling in a few sheckels, which is marginally better than no sheckels. :-P
For some weird reason, I've found myself flirting with one of the guys from the band Arkarna via Twitter and FaceBook. LOL Maybe I'll get a free CD or something out of it! That's just weird to think.
One thing I've contemplated and haven't yet made a decision on is whether or not I should go ahead and take a couple of community college courses this spring. For the uninformed, I've gotten involved in a research group over at Southwest Illinois College (SWIC) specifically because there's a study they're working on about how transgender people perceive sexism and they wanted a transperson in the group. I had already wanted to enroll for classes before I got involved in the group, eventually to practice psychology. Not specifically for LGBT folk, but it would be a good group to have as clients and it's subject matter that I'm familiar with as a queer-identified woman who also happens to be transgender.
I'm just not sure financially that this household can pull it off. I have a duty to Al & Amy to cover 1/3 of the rent and my utilities, which I'm already NOT doing due to lack of a job. Money's already tight and I can't imagine it being like that for 6 years while I attend school. But the thought I keep having echoes my thoughts on LGBT rights: If not now, then when? *sigh* I'm so conflicted, I swear! *sigh*

I just broke 10,000 words. Go me!
If I can keep this up (and I'm pretty sure that I have more than enough plot mapped out to do so,) I'll have broken 50,000 before we are half way through the month. ^_^

Didn't happen.
Between endless meetings at work, then the doctor, then crashing and dying once I got home, I'm afraid I didn't write a single word.
Ah well. Yesterday is over. Onward and upward.

08:37 am - My mother woke me Up *insert the tears*
So yea, I'm a awake but a but grouchy. Both my mom and my dad have very early morning exercise and be at work schedules. I'm glad that they're exercising and not letting their lack of weight loss put them off their diets or exercise routine. I don't mind being vaguely awake and aware of those grumblings when they're moving around. I don't really mind when they call out to talk to me and make me fully awake either but I can't fall back asleep and when they leave I'm just tired and grouchy with nothing to do
It's all good, I'll drink tea later and life will pick up.
As a side note now that my facebook picture hunt addiction is over and my try to revive the insanejournal has proven it's not enough (can only post so often, sometimes I have nothing to say, not committed enough for a nanowrite, and can only respond to some friends and coms) I am addicted to facebook apps. I've got cafe world, farmville, fish town, and happy fish. I have others that I tried and just didn't make it to the temp addiction phase. So yeah I'm a little lame.
Moved around all my icons again. Since I only have about 100 free slots whenever I plan a massive update I delete a few I'm not using and add in the newbies. Sometimes i have more space at the end of the swap around. My fannish icons are getting less and less these days but I think that's because I'm not participating in the fandom as much as I should/thought I would. Need to find some Dollhouse and Fringe groups stat.
In other related notes, I've been slowly backdating old journals I never posted because I didn't have internet and journals I wrote by hand. While going through my Senior high school journal I realized that beyond being pretentious and righteous and a know it all I sometimes had interesting thoughts and connections, but there's a lot of muck to rake through first.
Also thanks to my backdating, all my Wyoming journals are off the first page of my journal. There's more in between I should type in but I'm stuck at a particularly angsty journal I don't want to write in or look at again maybe ever. C'est la vie.
Finished my application for an educator's liscence. Hopefully the second set of tests will be worked up and graded soon and I'll have everything I need to start applying for jobs. It's not an ideal time to hunt but we've all got our crosses to bear on that front. Minimally tutoring of some sort should be approachable.
05:35 am - Day 2
Up to 710 words.
BUT, I now know the thief and bored warrior's names, so I'm OK with it.
Also, the playlist for the fic is now 7 songs long, which is good.
Now to just get the damn doctor to actually do something about my pain, instead of giving me muscle relaxants and sending me on my way.

05:31 pm - Hi There.
Hello all,
What a year it's been. All I can seem to think to say is, 'Wow'. Some of these most extraordinary things have happened and I'm not even sure where to begin. It's all happened so fast and the only thing I've realized is how out of touch with things I've become.
Oh, not that I'm old and it's one of those generational gap things, not at all. I'm just...I'm not sure how I can explain it. People in the world today are so different in their views, they seem to think that everything happening is new or some how unique. Bad guys getting away with the loot, politicians acting like children, world gone mad, freedoms being experienced for the very first time, it's all so much to take in.
It's little wonder we're starting to question, well, everything. The saying goes, I think, 'these are the times that try men's souls'. I don't know about men's, but mine is sure feeling a little used. See, I made a little joke. It's what some people do when they're nervous and not quite sure what to say. Guess it just helps to have someone to say it to.
Do you need someone to talk to? I've got a free ear and some cheese cake.
Thanks for listening,
Rose Nylund, ask_rose
07:31 am - New fanfic comm :)
fanowrimo
A fan fiction writers Nanowrimo in December!
When the crazy of Nano just isn't enough LOL XD
No, seriously, this is a comm where, for the month of December, you work on those fanfics that have been sitting on ff.net, or your desktop (or wherever) for eons that still need to be finished, that you keep meaning to get to, but never have due to writers block, life, etc.
Or, if you have signed up for one of those nifty prompt tables, and never got around to doing anything with them...
Then December is the month to get these fics done :D
So stop by, introduce yourself, pledge to breathe new life into those dusty old unfinished fics :D
