Admire Icons

I'm home from SDCC! I'm going to work on my post tonight and try to have it done tomorrow. Tiffany has my camera right now so I have to wait for my pictures. :)

Yeah, leaving for NYC in 9 hours! Woot!

I'm hoping to have fun blogging via camera phone pics, and I'll even be armed with my dad's super small laptop (though who knows if I'll have a reliable internet connection).

So, if you want to be in the loop, calocaisms.blogspot.com/

( lol meme )

Mom and I went to The X-Files: I Want to Believe last night. Not what I expected at all but I still enjoyed the thing. Xzibit is a surprisingly good performer.

My cousin, Ted - no longer Teddy, and I are going to Step Brothers in about an hour. Bless.

Dan has Dark Tower graphics so I may icon those later tonight.

Heroes Vol 3 chapter 1 was unveiled at ComiCon and the writeup I read seems amazing.

I cleaned the bathroom. GROCE.

Why does Comic Con have to be so awesome this year? Well, I'll tell you why. Because I can't go!

Even Tori is going to be there!!!  I have never wanted to go to one this badly before. When we lived in L.A. we used to get in for free because of Dan's industry connections. 

GAHHHHHH!!!

Never make someone a priority if they only make you an option. e

I had forgotten this one.

No, seriously. I haven't had a day this bad since the day my father went into surgery. This isn't quite that bad at all, but this is the worst day I have had in a very, very long time.

I'm safe in Scotland. My flights all went smoothly, had a good time, yadda yadda. When I got to Glasgow, I even got a discount on my bus ticket! Yay!

But then the driver goes and drops me off and gives me really ambiguous directions. So I end up wandering around and trying to ask more people for help. They all take me, like, halfway, and I proceed to get lost again. Finally, I'm FREAKING OUT because here I am, carrying two very heavy bags, and I'm an American lost in Scotland. I find an officer writing tickets for parking violations, and he proceeds to take me around town for what must be an hour and a half, trying to find where I need to go to, you know, sleep tonight. It took forever, but thank goodness, we found it.

So then this kinda' arrogant but kinda' nice guy shows me to my room. Turns out I don't have any internet in there. :D To use the Strathclyde University wireless, you need a username and password, which I was never given. So I spend the afternoon looking for restaurants with free wifi, since I have literally NO WAY to contact my family. No bars on my phone or anything. Nothing. Fuck you, Cingular. Anyway. Another grand search full of crying, and finally this cafe lets me use theirs for free. I talk to fairness and Luke for a while until they make me feel better. I love them.

Come back to my room, where my plug for my computer almost doesn't work but it does thank god, and I take a shower, listen to music, and take a nap. Then I woke up all paranoid because my alarm didn't go off so NOW I'm all like "WHAT THE FUCK HOW AM I GOING TO WAKE UP" for tomorrow. NOT COOL. Then I walk a mile to go back to talk to Luke at the cafe and I get kicked out for not buying anything else, even though I bought like four pounds forth of stuff earlier. So I came back to my dorm and I tried for 20 minutes to steal wifi and FINALLY IT'S WORKING.

So, yeah. That's my FUCKING CHAOS for the day. I've never had a day this stressful. Seriously. I'm all alone in this country and I won't have anyone until tomorrow and it drives me batshit crazy.

At least Luke's on.

For some reason my neighbours don't understand that playing bad radio really loudly during the day isn't okay.

Also, studying is really brutal during the summer but I came across this gem and it's made my morning that much better.

Hur. I don't have much to say, so a couple of memes for you instead? |D

Comment here and I'll reply to you to tell you which icon of yours I associate with you.

And the next one's a longshot, especially since I really don't spend a considerable amount of time thinking on pairings, muchless following what fandom usually ships |D But sure, have a stab at it if you're really that curious :3

Name a series and I will tell you my:
One True Pairing Ship:
Canon Ship:
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship:
"You are one sick bastard" Ship:
"I dabble a little" Ship:
"It's like a car crash" Ship:
"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship:
"Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship:
"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship:

The rules are simple. Answer each question, plug your answer into Google search, and pick a picture from the first page of images from your search results.

Well, it's officially 40 weeks as of today! Midwife dropped in for a checkup, said he's dropped. FINALLY! Still not on his way out yet, but at least we're getting closer!

C'mon, Ameon, we want to meet you!!!!

My in-laws are coming over for dinner on Sunday.  First time at our place - after nearly seven years of living here.

( D: )

In other news, ( the work transition is going nicely. )

Terminus hotel room is now taken care of...looking to either buy/trade a registration, and then scout some places to look for decent parking.  I've been lucky in the past, and assume that I will be again.  (Overly optimistic, yes?)  V.v. excited to see everyone, especially roguebitch, rlanto, smilie117 and the rest of you all!  :)

Have a good weekend, youse guys!

Well hello. Today was a pretty nice day so far. I woke up and went to the rock county 4H fair. Pretty much lame. But I got funnel cake (yum) and went on the ferris wheel. I realized that I have quite outgrown the fair. But oh well.

I got a letter from my brother, who I never talk to, so that was actually a nice surprise. I miss living with my family a lot. As crazy as they are, I love them to death. I hope we all can go to the (home) in Kansas this holiday season.


My general feelings of life are the same, however. I'm afraid of getting a new job cause I hate new things but I really crave change. I'm broker than I have ever been and scared I won't make bills this month...but hopefully it'll work out. I want to do so many things with my time and I'm feeling rather overwhelmed with it all. I keep feeling like I only have this one chance to do great things but I keep looking back at all my mistakes. I tell myself to keep pushing for the now and forget the then but it's so hard....


well, I'm going to go try to settle my nerves with some cleaning.

If my pay is static over the next year (16 July 2008 through 15 July 2009) I will gross $22,880.

Oo, la-la, you say? Let's pretend, hypothesize, say I'm living on my own. I don't have any family to support me. Here's how it will break down.

( I need about tree fiddy. )

Just one of the reasons I would like to not live... here. Everyone kind of knows where my ultimate goal is.

My dad is back now. He didnt talk to me for a day, but then last night he decided to make a peace offering by returning the lighter he swiped from me, and tell me a funny story. Because in my family, if you can brush bad things under the rug and cover it up with humor, everything just goes away.

Apparently he grabbed the only thing he couldnt live without on his raging fit out the door to the hotel: his medicine box. And later that night, he went to take his medicine, and found his pork chop from dinner in the box. Apparently he was angry (and drunk) enough to throw his dinner in his medicine box and leave. W...tf.

Anyway. I'm babysitting right now. I hate babysitting.

And I slept for like 100 hours last night. Apparently that 2 weeks of zero sleep finally caught up with me. How am I still tired? Blah.
