Ok, I've decided that since I usually use this journal to vent about personal stuff I'm going to make it friends only. So if you've been a lurker and actually like to read about my pissing and moaning or random crazyness, comment and if I like you I may add you. :D

Cheers all!

You know what?

I have no idea.

lol, made you look. Yeah, I feel like being a difficult bugger right now. Being on a cold water high and with no one around to bug can do that to you.

1. Make an LJ-cut post with "DO NOT READ" as the text.
2. Do not select a 'mood' for this post.
3. If anyone clicks the cut, they HAVE TO comment and admit to doing so.
4. Anyone who reads this also has to do the same in THEIR journal, thus continuing the never-ending madness.
Hehehehehe, Vindie caused this. Blame her. XD

So full... Am going to burst...

2006-05-13T23:45:18Z

Damn. Those enchilada's were HEAVEN. We ate out at this fancy Mexican place a while ago and Mom had a good time, ordered her steak the way she liked it, and got full up to the gills. After that we had to go grocery shopping for her second Mothers Day meal (which will be on sunday that I will cook... beware...lol, jk) and dad was sweet and got her a dozen roses.

We're all back home now just chillin' out. I'm waiting for seven o'clock to roll around because the Princess Bride is gonna be on and this is my first time to watch it after hearing other people on forums and stuff rave about how they liked it. So I guess I'm gonna record it so if I like it I can watch it again.

Signing off now, need to finish writing out another plot bunny that threw its self in my path.

Cheers!

I hate barbed wire.

2006-05-13T20:16:54Z

Well, today has been tiring. We went out and worked on the highway fence... The barbed wire bit me on my wrist though, I think I may have hit a vein, so that's sore but only when something hits it. I gotta watch it though and remember to keep it clean so I don't get an infection or anything.

After we got back I finished chapter eight *insert wild cheering and much happy, embarrassing dancing* and have a couple scenes that could fit in the next one... Those are gonna be so fun to write. Snow fight and much running occur XD

I need to go now, gonna take Mom out to eat at the only fancy restaraunt around these parts. Mmmm, Mexican. Enchiladas!!!!

Cheers all!

Well, I'm feeling a lot happier today, mostly because chapter six is nearly finished and has turned out better than what I had hoped for. I've been blocked on ideas for it for like three days. I'm not out of ideas though, most of what I was getting I can't use yet because they would need to come later. Anyway, I'm on a happy high right now so all is good until I have to go to work. :D

Ok, my turn...

2006-05-11T02:47:14Z

This is just.... I don't know. Read at your own risk... *snort*

Once upon a time there has a young LIBRARIAN named BERT. He was RARELY NOTHING in the MILD forest when he met SWEET GUMMER, a run-away NINJA from the DARK Queen RUBY.

BERT could see that SWEET GUMMER was hungry so he reached into his FISH BOWL and give him his GRAY TOFU. SWEET GUMMER was thankful for BERT's TOFU, so he told BERT a very SCUMMY story about Queen RUBY's daughter MARILLA. How her mother, the DARK Queen RUBY, kept her locked away in a DOME protected by a gigantic ANT EATER, because MARILLA was so STICKY.

BERT RAN. He vowed to SWEET GUMMER the NINJA that he would save the STICKY MARILLA. He would STUMBLE the ANT EATER, and take MARILLA far away from her eveil mother, the DARK Queen RUBY, and LAUGH her.

Then, all of the sudden, there was a ORANGE HOWLING WIND and SWEET GUMMER the NINJA began to laugh. With a puff of smoke he turned into the gigantic ANT EATER from his story. DARK Queen RUBY SWISHED out from behind a TURTLE SHELL and struck BERT dead. In the far off DOME you could hear a TRIUMPHANT SNORT.

THE END.

A Water Sign matches your goofy sense of humor - and desire to help others.

You go for warmth and comfort, yet still manage to look great

What's Your Winter Look?

Men See You As Choosy

Men notice you light years before you notice them
You take a selective approach to dating, and you can afford to be picky
You aren't looking for a quick flirt - but a memorable encounter
It may take men a while to ask you out, but it's worth the wait

You Are a Tomboy

You're having too much fun to bother with nail polish and crazy diets.
Guys are instead impressed by how much you know and do!

How Girlie Are You?

You Are Friends With Potential

There's a little spark going on here, no question about it
Will this develop into a hot romance? Look to your guy friend for clues.
Does he flirt with all his female friends? Or are you an exception?
If he's giving you special treatment, you've won a part of his heart already.

Is He More Than a Friend?

Men See You As: An Attainable Challenge

You know how to make your man crave more of you
But you also know when to show some interest back

Guys find it is easy to confide in you and tell you their secrets
No wonder you tend to get close quickly in relationships!

You Are Apple Red

You're never one to take life too seriously, and because of it, you're a ton of fun.
And although you have a great sense of humor, you are never superficial.
Deep and caring, you do like to get to the core of people - to understand them well.
However, any probing you do is light hearted and fun, sometimes causing people to misjudge you.

You Are 25 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

Your Brain's Pattern

Your mind is a creative hotbed of artistic talent.
You're always making pictures in your mind, especially when you're bored.
You are easily inspired to think colorful, interesting thoughts.
And although it may be hard to express these thoughts, it won't always be.

What Pattern Is Your Brain?

Your Values Profile

Loyalty:

You value loyalty highly.
You're completely devoted to your friends and family.
Even if they totally screw up, you're still there for them.
Just make sure they're equally loyal to you!

Honesty:

You don't really value honesty.
You do value getting your way, no matter what.
And if a little lying is required to do that, no problem.
A few white lies never hurt anyone (at least, that's what you tell yourself!)

Generosity:

You don't really value generosity.
Your needs always come first, no matter what.
And you'll possibly help someone else out...
But only if it helps you in return.

Humility:

You value humility a fair amount.
You tend to be an easy going, humble person.
But occasionally your ego takes over.
You have a slight competitive streak - and the need to be the best.

Tolerance:

You value tolerance highly.
Not only do you enjoy the company of those very different from you...
You do all that you can to seek it out interesting and unique friends.
You think there are many truths in life, and you're open to many of them.
