Water.. tastes good.
i HAVE to be pregnant. i mean. i know i am, but still in disbelief of it ya know? showing no outward signs of it, Hormonal as all hell, random crying, and extremely tired. but still in disbelief.... i've felt little flutters that i KNOW aren't just Indigestion or gas. but still i wonder... i do!
in other news. i thinkt he new guy at work dislikes me, because i do storm out when i know i get hormanl surges, and i get upset really easily. I do not want to say something i will regret. His words back to me bit, that i wanted to turn him into a mini-Me, which is so far from the truth, I just want him to be a great portrait photographer. He is VERY cocky about having taken good pictures, doing landscapes, and taking alot of pictures of his cats. Great and all, but it's not that whiney 2 year old that will not sit still, or that mother who is overly picky her kid should look JUST RIGHT or smile JUST SO. so giving him hints and tips towards this is trying to make him a mini me? yeah, i don't think so. he has a bit of a stick up his ass that he knows everything, and can do anything, because he is 4 years older then me, and 8 years older then his boss and he has been doing this a really really long time. Cats Don't Qualify you.
Sister is still a bitch and apparently does not understand why i am angry at her, or why mom can not visit me, due to her messing up like this.

Being in a position to do it at all would be nice. :P In the meantime... Random small acts of kindness will have to suffice. |

My inner library dream would be a library that specializing in Science Fiction, Fantasy and comics. Heck, pretty much the books I have only many more of them. One of my friends said, quite honestly, that he thought it could work in a -real- capital. I only joked when I mentioned it. In a metropol. Maybe it could work there. Just imagine it... Dedicated personel who knew soething about the genres and really burn with a passion. I guess the closest thing I'll ever get is my own collection, and isn't that just a personal library anyway... Well, it will be, when I get the crazy catalog-plans going it will. Remind me to tell about some books I like some day, that could be fun. Current Mood: blank |

Where to begin. stuffed up things with WINZ, had to visit doctor, doctor sending me to psychiatrist. Went to a party with my ArWhrath and friends...there was stuff going on and yeah wont go into it, but I was ok with it. But all of a sudden, out of the blue..BAM I was drunk and shazoom, bim sala bim Im having a mental breakdown Had Sabastian hugging me trying to calm me down, im bawling my eyes out, my entire being was in mental pain, I wanted to give up...they managed to get ArWhrath for me and I needed him so bad. I couldnt stop crying, I couldnt think about anything, all I felt was all my stress built up. When ArWhrath took me out to the bikes to unlock them I was crying again, yelling and throwwing tantrums "Its not fair, I dont wanna be an adult, I dont want to, I wanna be a kid, I hate being an adult" Followed by "When we get home can we watch cartoons, I wanna watch cartoons and download beauty & the beast, I wanna watch X-men" ArWhrath was so good, he was calm and attentive and huged me and said we could watch cartoons. Im not sure how we got home. 4am I woke at 10am, and promptly felt the room spinning, I tried for an hour to not vomit but gave in and had ArWhrath sit outside the loo, I was so embarrassed. I dry wretched the next 3 hours and then ArWhrath got up out of bed finaly to take care of me. We watched EFC and star trek, and cuddled up on the couch..I napped here and there but not longer than half an hour each time. I felt nauseas even till the following 3am when we managed to fall back in bed. The next day, I felt like I had a hangover (monday) Monday I biked for an hour to get to my psycologist and had to talk about my traumatic past and brought up stuff I didnt want to. When I got home I ate ice cream and watched Alice in wonderland. Tuesday ArWhrath took me to an emergancy appointment at the hospital dentist that he booked for me. I have an abcess under a molar. Various holes the size of the grand canyon in my teeth. So they will be pulling my wizdoms, and 3 other teeth plus filling in other holes. This was the first time I ever went to the dentist and I nearly ran screaming I was so scared and it was just the waiting room. So ive got to take tablets for the abcess and the dentist will let me know when I can get it pulled, but Ive had 3 nights bad sleep and two days badness with tooth ache and I wished she had taken it out there and then. On top of that my pills for polycystic ovaries have finished and my hormones are all wobbly, Im crying at everything now...buying the wrong cheese, to having a panic attack whilst walking down the street. Im all over the place. not having fun. Im so embarrassed about snapping my sanity at the party Sat night though :( I cant explain how so. Good news though, ArWhrath is now a converted Earth: Final conflict fan/ Da'an fan. Icon is Da'an in all his smexy glory Current Mood: numb |

Art exchange So hey guys. Are you a picky bastard? Do you like drawing - but just don't have much time for a full piece, or like drawing little pictures ... like convention badges? We're starting up the "secret santa" style monthly exchange on con_badges, but this time, the participants are moderated. This means that you are not allowed to participate until a small panel approves you based on the quality and skill of your art. Go on, check it out. Get some good stuff. :] Current Mood: lazyCurrent Music: Forza Motorsports |

Amazing how many people thought Katrina wasn't going to happen I was flipping through Fark for news on Hurricane Gustav (because it's where I get all my news, dontcha know), and ended up perusing a 3-year-old archived thread of comments immediately preceding hurricane Katrina. Some rather surreal pull quotes that caught my attention: ( Original NOLA weather service warning--with use of the phrase 'human suffering' )"I just heard on the news, from NO's emergency managment person, that the levees are built to withstand a fast moving Cat 3 storm. He was speaking in a rather flat voice, saying basically, they aren't built for a Cat 5. They won't hold up. The city is screwed.""People...without a much needed, but uncertain, course change, New Orleans, a major harbor of the United States, as well as population center in Louisiana, could be uninhabitable for up to 8 weeks." " ( So there are going to be 9/11 type building collapses of high rises happening one after the other in new Orleans? I don't see that happening... )"There is basically going to be 0 potable water if the levees get breached. Aside from the sewers bubbling up, you are going to have a ton of contaminants in the water.
Dissentery [sic], cholera, you name it, would all be huge problems. We are talking 3rd world epedemic stuff will be LIKELY if this thing doesnt do a serious change in course.""This is a HOAX... The weather service would never include the phrase "human suffering" in one of its forecasts." "Gas prices may go above $3/gallon tomorrow (maybe significantly) and never come back down again. Ever."( 'Does anyone else see the Superdome as a disaster waiting to happen?' ) Current Mood: worried |

Another "have you eaten" list except this time, I also get to pick things i'd like to try! anyone who's eaten something on that list, feel free to share your thoughts. 1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions. 2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten. 3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating. 4) Italicize things you would like to try. 5) Optional extra: Post a comment here linking to your results. The VGT Omnivore’s Hundred: ( Read more... )okay so after doing that, all i gotta say is, if you haven't had at least 10 things off that list you need to get out more (unless you're vegan/vegetarian) |

Dreams I don't remember it all, but I had an interesting dream last night. I think ophyjgjhnfn in particular will be interested, because perhaps he can use these two in his story. ;) ( Snowstorm )Actually, the most unusual thing about this dream was that it took place entirely in 2D animation. o.o I'll have to try drawing these two sometime.

Writer's Block: Your Online Hot Spots
Online routineThese are sites I visit every day, usually several times a day. Doesn't include the web-based interface for my email, though usually I spend quite some time refreshing that as well. LiveJournalFurRag; both the main site and its forum SveaFur, for all your furry drama needs Meebo, my portable, no-install IM client of choice Useful sitesSites I go to when I have business there, and where I have business reasonably often. Tradera, online auction site I use to try and expand my book collection LibraryThing, virtual bookshelf site where I try to keep track of my book collection Amazon.com, usually to add a book I saw mentioned in 50bookchallenge to my wishlist eBay.com, where I go for most of my video gaming needs Online pet gamesSome of these I visit near-daily, some of them I just go to when I'm bored and need something to pass the time. Pretty much in order of usage frequency. PonystarsWebkinzWajasRescreatuPony ValleeHowrseOther pass-timesSites I go to in order to pass time, but don't use frequently and often go long periods without logging in to at all. Fchan, furry chanboard, mostly to see if my art gets posted Gaia Online, which I don't use much, but occassionally write something on the forums or add an entry to my somewhat silly WoW blog VCL's New Artwork By Artist, an excellent way to get to see what's new and gorgeous in the furry fandom |

silly silly dream i had the other night.
I was at a convention, Neil patrick Harris (NPH) was running around as Dr. Horrible. He had people delivering him messages from Bad Horse who were dressed up like pioneer woemn with big fluffy skirts, the bad horse cowboys popped out of her skirt to sing and went back under when done.
Jia and I were running around following him with our shirts on. and ruining all his songs by singing "Stop the world" where she would stop the world to be with me. it was very very very silly.
No other dreams really really pop out of my mind.... So i have to go get rabbit food sometime today. but i dont want to take the bus. i almost blew chunks on the #1 last night. the bus driver was so halting in his ride. i seriously can not wait for maternity leave where i don't have to ride the bus every dayyyy. |

Books for August Twilight by Stephenie Meyer (vampire romance for teens) Why do teenage girls love vampires? Is it the bad boy image? Or is there something perversely erotic about having someone who wants to kill you? I didn't get it when I was a teenage and I don't understand it now.
This book is cliched, sentimental tripe. The characters are flat - Bella is so pathetic I wanted to slap her and Edward is just irritating in his try-hard-to-be-cool manerisms. The plot is flat and dreary with no real twists on the vampire mythos (good vampires = *yawn*) and no surprises at all. The climax - if you can call it that, happens almost entirely "offscreen" while the main character is unconscious. Dialogue is clumsy and unconvincing. Throughout the story, Bella doesn't do a single thing to save herself; every decision she makes is wrong, stupid or dangerous, and she constantly has to be rescued by her "white knight", a psychic vampire who turns up in the nick of time to save her and either mock her or smother her with stupidly endearing praise. I cannot imagine what he sees in her, or what she sees in him.
The only reason that I finished this book was because half my (adult female) co-workers seem to be obsessed with it and are devouring the series. I wanted to know what the fuss was about. I would have credited them with better taste.
"Twilight" was a struggle, I will not be persisting through another three books of this garbage. I've never been fond of vampires - I find them pretentious, cliched and overdone. This novel has done nothing to change that opinion. And I really hoped it would.
The best thing I can say about this book was that it was fun to review!
Grave Sight by Charlaine Harris (Mystery) Pointless and predictable.
Bec (Demonata bk 4) by Darren Shan (horror for teens) Creepy, brutal and spine-chilling. Shan's writing style is filled with action, suspense and twists. Awesome demonic adventures geared at teenage boys that like thrills. Not recommended after dark!
Bloodbeast (Demonata bk 5) by Darren Shan (teen horror) Dark and menacing, this is not the kind of book to read after dark! With lovely gruesome details and a spine-chilling accident scene, one cannot help but admire Shan's writing style. He most certainly does not tame down his gore for the audience!
Salt by Maurice Gee (adventure fanstasy for teens) Exciting and intriguing and somewhat reminscent of Gee's earlier "Halfmen of O" series. This made for a good fast-paced adventure with interesting characters and a few plot twists. Nothing remarkable, but a good solid semi=fantasy for young adults.
Promise of the Wolves by Dorothy Hearst (prehistoric animal) Well written and researched, this is the sort of animal book I enjoy. The author has strong knowledge of pack dynamics and lupine behaviour - her wolves behave like real wolves - not fuzzy humans. With its prehistoric setting and a strong spiritual elements it should be enjoyed by fans of Michelle Paver's "Wolf Brother" series and Jean M Auel's "Earth Children".
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare (urban supernatural for teens) A rather more original and inspiring alternative to "Twilight" by Stephanie Meyer. This book is filled with intriguing characters, surprising twists and disturbing demons. Vampires played only a very minor role. Thank goodness.
There's no Place like Here by Cecilia Ahern (Chicklit) For the most part, a fluffy and cute read bringing a little enchantment into an otherwise dull world. For a "chick-lit' book, this was not so much dealing with boy-meets-girl but more with relationships, obsessions and the finding of lost things. Ironically, I kept misplacing this book and forgetting where I had left it. I always found it again though!
Wild Swans by Jung Chang (memoirs of China) An amazingly informative and sobering memoir. This truly opened my eyes to the various plights the Chinese have faced up against in the last hundred years. Such memoirs can get quite dry, but whilst I did struggle a little towards the end, the personal touch truly made this one I could plough through. Highly recommended to broaden your mind to some of the sufferings the eastern world has faced. Now I need something decidedly lighter!
How to Train your Dragon by Cressida Cowell Funny, fast-paced dragon adventure with entertaining characters and a rollicking plot. On audio book, this was narrated in the delightful rolling Scottish brogue of the lovely David Tenant. Great stuff for the younger readers with action, adventure and some toilet humour. |

Toys in need of a new home I have a bunch of toys needing to find new accommodation and I thought I'd offer them to you fine folks before I either stick them up on Ebay or take them to the Sallies. Some of these have been my cherished friends for many years and I'm reluctant to part with them, but they're not doing much with me but gathering dust and I'd rather they be appreciated. If you want them let me know. But if you're outside of Christchurch you will need to pay postage. And it may be quite expensive. If you're inside Christchurch, I'll drop them off. Will give them away or best offer (if there are several people interested in the same one) unless marked otherwise. ( plushies )( plastic Pokemon toys )Payments outside of New Zealand accepted by Paypal ONLY. Better images and sizes available at request. |
