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!! :)
