Dang

Sometimes I forget all about this journal - unless I'm updating , lol...

The jist of what's going on with me? Have been spending a LOT of time with KW... which has been really awesome - it's nice to have "old" friends back - friends that were/are like family... :)

Today I redesigned the Christy fan site - and the SEVEN hours I spent on it really shows - it's definitely the best design I've done...

No much else happening right now - but I'll try and update here as I remember, lol...

Yeah

Sorry I haven't been updating - I have a few journals I juggle and this one just isn't on the top of my list, lol... though I do come in to update ... I'll try harder to update my personal journal - though I won't make any promises...

Quikie Update

Just trying out MyLj - which is pretty cool... :) But I don't have time to write much else right now - I'll try again tomorrow - when I'm in a better mood.

Shame on Me!

Sometimes I forget about this journal - and I'm hella sorry to those (2) of you on my friends list, lol... but I will try to be better updating here... I promise...

Anywhooo - not much going on today, gotta get all the contest entries put up somewhere where Christy can check them out and choose her favorite... though it's no rush - I know she's got a party today, so I probably won't hear from her today, maybe not tomorrow either cause she'll be heading back to L.A. - but hopefully sometime before the 7th since that's when we're supposed to announce the winners, lol... plus, she's supposed to send me a journal update for the site - have to remember to remind her about that...

It's strange - but this is the first Halloween that I won't be dressing up - no reason to really... no kids to come trick or treating - and no parties for me... but it's okay, I'd rather be spending the night watching scary movies, lol... I actually started last night - tomorrow I'll post the list of movies I've been watching, and give my review of them... :)

I think that's all for now - and I promise I'll update again tomorrow... :) In the meantime - to my friends;




Have a safe and happy Halloween - those newts are serious hangover material, lol.

Sweetie-Poo

"C" is SUCH a sweetheart - I don't know if I can EVER say that enough, lol... had an awesome, though short, phone conversation with her this afternoon while she was waiting for her flight back to WI... made each other feel a LOT better about certain things going on with both of us - I'm SO ready to see her again... :) Now I just have to figure out what to get her for Christmas - and yes, this is important because I want to give it to her in CT - cause I won't see her again before December 25th... looks like I have some severly serious shopping to do, lol...

Gotta get back to "The Curse of 'Poltergeist'"... spooooooooooooooooooooooky.... o_O

Whoops

"C" told me to call her today - and I just got off the phone with her - accidently waking her up... who knew she was working all night trying to get moved into her new place? Not me... though I did feel bad - she's supposed to call me back later so we can get my friend's plane ticket to CT... at least she wasn't MAD at me for waking her up... which kind of made me feel worse if that makes sense...

BTW Chrissy - I lost that email addy that you sent - can you send it to me again? Thanx babes... :)

In the Works...

So my friend Loni is going to drive out here with some friends on the 18th of next month, and they're going to leave her with me, then WE are flying out to CT together on the 23rd for the concert - and work, lol... and then we're flying back on seperate planes on the 26th (her to Oregon, me to Vegas) - simple right? Yeah, now I'm just waiting for C to call me so we can get Loni's tickets taken care of - which is supposed to happen today... that's IF C is back in L.A. - the last time I talked to her yesterday, she was still in Wisconsin cause her flight had been delayed... hopefully she managed to get home cause I know she still has a lot to do with her moving and everything...

Have several emails to get out today - and if I don't hear from C by 7, I'll call HER to see what's going on - I hate worrying...

Other than that - it's pretty boring around here...

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got my hotel confirmation for the trip to Connecticut!!!! I'll be staying at the Hartford Hilton - I KNOW, nice huh? PLUS, I get to take a friend with me!!! All paid trip for both of us - I LOVE MY JOB!!!!! I WANT TO HAVE MY BOSS'S BABY!!!! <---j/k, lol - but I do adore her - she knows how to treat a good employee right - :) Can't WAIT - I can't believe it's STILL over a MONTH - SHIIIIIIIIIIT!!!! I want to go NOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!

Boredom

I don't know if I'd rather be bored or sick - at least when I'm sick I don't WANT to do anything, but when I'm bored - there's nothing to do, lol... so it's hard to decide... I'm feeling physically better today, but I'm bored out of my mind - hopefully I'll finally get paid tomorrow and I'll be able to go out and do something - anything...

Talking to my friend's son is worrying me everyday - but I don't have the heart to tell him to stop calling me. I don't want to stop talking to him - but I know that he's going to get caught - it's only a matter of time... I don't know what to do about it...

Nothing else really going on - debation on getting rid of AOL for good - but I don't know... hmmmmmmmm, just bored, bored, bored.....

What day is this?

I've been sick again - I think this infection is causing me to have other problems, so I'm sure I should go back to the doctor's. However, I can't do it this week - but I will call and make an appointment as soon as I can. I have to go out today and shop for groceries, pay a couple of bills - it's raining cats and dogs and I feel like shit - but I HAVE to go.

I've been talking to my ex-friend's son (see previous post) ... he's putting himself in a REALLY bad place by calling me on the sly - but he needs someone that understands what he's going through - and from what I have heard, his mom just doesn't have time for him... she's also been lying like crazy to him about me - what bothers me the most, is that I don't think SHE thinks she's lying, I think she believes what she's telling him - which is a lot scarier to me... for example, she told him that he learned to walk trying to save this dog from me - seems (according to her) that I beat the dog, and he got up to "save" it. Well, first of all, I didn't even know the dog that she's talking about - and second, I didn't live with them when the kid learned to walk - so there's something definitely wrong here... she's told him other stuff that was all twisted around and everything - but I've told him the truth... see, I don't HAVE to lie to him - she wants him away from me, and I guess she'll do anything, including lie, to keep him away... it's all so fucking bizzare...

On a more pleasant note - I also talked to "C" yesterday... it's nice when someone is genuinely happy to hear from you, lol - and she was happy to hear from me yesterday... we didn't talk long - I think she was at "work" - but the talk we did have was really nice... seems I'm not the only one looking forward to next month - it will be so great to see her... :) though if things go the way I'm hoping, I might see her before that... I have to wait until she's back in L.A. before we can discuss THAT stuff though, lol...

Well, that's it for now... I have to wait for the mailman...

I Know I Just Updated - But...

I HATE THIS WOMAN - it's hard for me to believe she USED to be the best friend I ever had... her son just sent me this email;

"ok where do i start i love you very much i can not talk to you but the only way i can is if you give my mom her money and exact opposite of what she said i have been dragged into this and she has blocked you from e maling me and i dont know my own phone number so i cant tell you and i wish i could talk to you and please dont tell them i e mailed you or theyll kill me i tried to im you but you wernt on line so i couldnt i hope you havent done anything crazy and i will try to find a way out of this and after all this time i havent been truthful about 1 thing i am not straight i am bisexual and am having the damnest time at school because of it so tell Christy i said hi and that i wanted to meet her in person and i wish i could say good bye to you in person and once again i love you and i will miss you and good bye"

MY GOD - this kid is going through SHIT and I can't TALK to him!!!! FUCK!!!!!! What the hell is wrong with people that they would take an innocent 13 year old and torture him like this?? He's done NOTHING wrong!! And yet because his mother is a BITCH and a BULLY - he's been taken away from the ONE person that could understand him!!! FUCKING WHORE I HATE HER!!!!!!!!!

Finished

Okay, I THINK I'm happy with this layout - it was hard doing the tweaks - but the end result is great... though I could be biased, lol. :)

I REALLY hope the check comes in tomorrow - it was sent out yesterday morning, however, it's traveling a little further than normal... so it's possible it won't get here until Tuesday - which would suck big time, because I am seriously getting sick of Top Ramen. Thank god I have enough cigarettes to last me for awhile... lol.

I'm hoping to talk to C tomorrow - we imed for a bit yesterday, but it was mostly about the site. I think she said she'd be heading back to L.A. on the 21st when I talked to her on Friday - but I'm not sure... so I want to double check that - because of the moving thing. There's a lot left to be worked out.

This guy on the forum is driving me BONKERS!! He has to send me a private message EVERY friggin' DAY - and it's always fucking ignorant shit. Not to mention that he asks questions that I am NOT allowed to answer - who the hell does he think he is?? I'm about ready to send him a message saying "Look so and so - you are testing my patience with you. I know you have to realize that my position has drastically changed - and your questions are teetering on information about inside material that I can't discuss with you. If you continue to do this - I will have to start ignoring, or even blocking your messages. BACK OFF!!" Actually, that's too nice. I have to do something though, and soon, or I will explode. And he creeps me out besides - "imagining" Christy dressed as Kim Possible - (a sixteen year old girl in a half top and low rider jeans, or cheerleader outfit) - now that's just gross from a 29 YEAR OLD MAN!! Fucking pedophile. I've already warned Christy about him - I seriously doubt she'll EVER go to Little Rock - and if she does, she'll have tons of security watching out for this freak. Actually, I'm about ready to report him to her management - maybe they can send him a message explaining the shit to him - though he'll probably cry and threaten to kill himself or something - godDAMN he drives me CRAZY!!! UGH!!!

Okay, got that out, lol... obviously I've been holding that for awhile - but now I've released it - and if he ever happens to see it - oh fucking well... this is how I feel. He wouldn't even give two shits about me if it weren't for the position I hold with Christy. Bastard.

Anyway, I'm going to go and read or watch TV or something...

No sign of that "ALERT" they had going for the last three days - I guess I should be glad - but I'm still going to have to shop in the rain.  Well, I can take the bus to most of the places I have to go - except the bank, and of course the bank is furthest away, lol.  It's okay though - I feel parched (emotionally) anyway, a good rain will refresh me - body and soul.

Saw "Lara Croft: Cradle of Life" today - weird that it was on cause someone I know had just mentioned her.  I've got to get both of the Tomb Raider movies on DVD - they're awesome.  :)  I get so involved with them - like today - someone kept emailing me and I was about ready to email them back saying "Would you leave me ALONE???  I'm trying to watch a MOVIE!!"  LOL.  After the third one he sent, I just ignored them until the movie was over.  I'm getting really over this guy...  he's seriously getting on my nerves - I have to decide what to do about him before I blow my stack.  Anyway, yeah, Lara Croft is cool.  To quote a friend, she "kicks butt...".  :)

...

Didn't sleep very well last night - I think it was because I was waiting for that call from my friend, and it never came. So I'm tossing and turning with worry all night long - I got about a total of two hours sleep... and I still haven't heard anything from her. I guess she doesn't realize that I really care about what happens to her - because if she KNEW, she would not do this... she would have called me last night like she told me she would. Right now I'm on the more pissed off side - and when she does finally call, I will let her know that it wasn't a very "friendly" thing to do - leaving me hanging like she did.

On another subject - I still haven't gotten my moving plans finalyzed - and I'm REALLY sick of this place. I mean, just now there's this guy outside with the leaf blower - and I have my door open to get some cool air in here - and he came over to my porch and just stood there for like five minutes with that damn machine... now how long does it take to blow a few leaves off of a porch?? I looked up and he was looking in my apartment at me, so I got up and shut the door in his face - I didn't bother saying anything, because most of the workers around here don't speak english - but slamming that door spoke volumns... and you'd better believe I'm talking to the manager about it - though I don't think it will do any good. Yes, I want to leave. Now. However, I don't have the fundage at this time...

To top everything off - I don't feel very well today - hmmm, wonder why.

South Park Marathon

They're having a "South Park" marathon tonight on Comedy Central - so you know what I'm doing, lol. I'm also waiting for my friend "N" to call me and let me know what's going on with her. She SWORE she'd call me tonight, so I really hope she does - or I'm going to be just a little upset. I'll be up late - so that gives her plenty of time to get in touch - I'm surprised she hasn't called already, she knows I'm worried.

Looks like I'm not going to be able to get to the store until Monday - this really sucks because of what we're expecting with the weather - going to have to run around in the storm/rain all day. I would say that going early in the day would be the best plan - but my mail doesn't even GET here until almost four in the afternoon, by that time I'm thinking it's going to be pretty wet outside. Oh well, I'll deal with it. Now, I LOVE the rain, but I don't love running around in it. I need a friggin' car.

Had the crap scared out of me about an hour ago - I walked outside to take out some garbage, and I heard someone talking - but when I looked around I didn't see anyone. Then all of a sudden, about six people just appeared from behind the dumpster corral - I was NOT expecting it, and I literally jumped when I saw them. Needless to say I felt pretty damned foolish. I just KNOW they were laughing at me when I went back in my apartment. Oh well.

I'm suddenly very tired.

Eck

I'm having a TOP RAMEN WEEK, and I'm just about over it - lol. Sunday I plan to shop though - well, hopefully.

I am SO proud of our local news! They are encouraging people to adopt homeless animals from Hurricane Katrina - and I think that's just awesome. I would adopt one if I was allowed to HAVE an animal here. But - I've already lost one and I'm not going through that again. However, I do plan to make a donation soon.

Neshia is supposed to come over on Sunday - that's if things work out the way I want them to. Her birthday is the 20th - I'm getting her an MP3 player. Don't worry, she already knows, so it's okay if she see this, lol. I'll get her a blue one like my pink one. Not expensive - but they work SO well - I don't know how I ever got along without mine before, lol. I just love it. And it's a really good way to move music OFF of my hard drive. Nothing illegal - I don't go for that - mostly just a compilation of CDs that I've paid for - or music sent to me. At any rate - I think I've got an hour and a half worth of songs on mine right now - and that's pretty decent for a 35 dollar MP3 player. :) I'm listening to it all the time - and changing out some of the songs every now and then - it's really fun to play with.

I have to get a screwdriver to fit the screws on my faceplate so I can put my butterfly faceplate on my PHONE!!! The last one I bought was just a little too big - hopefully I can find something at Target - or even Albertsons - hell, some grocery stores sell them... I just have to FIND one!

Is this the most boring drivel you've ever heard? What the hell is wrong with me? LOL

Message to a friend - hang in there girlie. *kisses* :)

LJ vs GJ

I was going to order a paid account here, and then I thought "why"? To get more user pics? GJ offers 1,000 user pics for no extra cost... well, did I want to be able to design my own journal? GJ offers that for free too - so what else is left? Pretty much nothing. I could spend that 25 dollars elsewhere, lol.

Granted, there are more people here at LJ - so the networking is a bit better, but I don't need more user pics or a special journal style to meet people. All I need for that is a sharp wit, and a sense of humor, lol... and those things I already have. :)

GJ is great too, offering their services for absolutely nothing - free accounts are the same as paid accounts. 1,000 users pics, ability to redesign your layouts, mood theme uploads, and image hosting all for free. Sometimes you see some advertising on the profiles - but you can choose to turn those ads off, and even if you couldn't - it would be a small price to pay.

I guess what I'm saying is that both LJ and GJ have their perks. Probably why I use both. :)

Weird

I was watching "South Park" - and I left it on Comedy Central because I had to do something on the computer... and I forgot to bring the remote over here, lol - so anyway, the show "Drawn Together" was on - that is a WEIRD cartoon. Maybe I would understand it better if I'd seen it from the beginning of the season - I don't know - but I wasn't impressed with it at all... so not watching THAT again, I can assure you.

I may have come to a decision about the move - but I've got a couple of people to talk to first - and it might have to be put off until the first of December... I have to wait and see what's going to happen... either way, I'll go there - it's just the WAY I go could be affected... more on that later. :)

Have a massive headache right now - gonna go hit the sack - exhausted...

The Return to LJ

YES I have a GJ account - and YES I have a few "select" friends there - but you gotta love LJ too... LJ and GJ are the only blogger tools I recommend to my friends, lol.

Let's see, what's happening with me right now... well, I'm contemplating on this major move I'm going to be doing this month - stay in Vegas, or head out to L.A.? (Can't do Oregon - just not in the cards.) Both of the friends I talked to today said "It's easy enough to make a decision..." - but you know what? It really isn't THAT easy. I hate it here, the weather sucks, too friggin' hot, and the people here suck too - all but ONE... but I've never LIVED in Los Angeles before - so who knows if that will be better for me? I mean, obviously it would make some things a bit more convenient in the job area - but... oy, I just don't know... and I know I need to make up my mind about it cause there ain't much time left in October - and this is the month that I want to move... hopefully I'll decide soon.

Speaking of work (and yeah, I mentioned it once in that last paragraph, lol) - I've been doing some graphics for the official site - they look pretty good, and I'm getting GREAT feedback... this site is SOOOOO much better than the old one - damn we did good! :) I'm so proud of myself. I'm so proud of the Team. GO TEAM!!!

NEXT MONTH!! I can't wait till the 23rd!! I miss my friends SO much! And I miss my little doggie too... *sighs* I just fell in love with that dog, she's such a sweetie-pie... and I don't even know if I'm going to SEE her cause we'll be in Connecticut... maybe my friend will bring her - I hope so... *crosses fingers*

Okay, gotta jet for now - watching "America's Next Top Model"... VH1 is running a marathon!! :)
