Happy Birthday Bruce!

Today is Bruce's 17th birthday, and I can hardly believe it.  I still remember - wait, I don't think I should write anything too embarrassing here - someone that knows him might read it, lol.  But I DO remember him as a baby - running around, learning new things...  he loved his Disney movies - "The Lion King" was his favorite.  He also loved Barney the dinosaur, no matter how much I hated it, lol.  Now he's old enough to drive, is a Junior in high school, and has big dreams of becomming a famous journalist.  He's a great person, and one of my best friends.

I hope his birthday is as wonderful as he is.  Happy Birthday Bruce - Love you!!

Weird

I don't know why, but I feel today is going to be a strange day.  It's already begun actually.  Like when I was trying to email a friend - her father's email address would automatically add itself.  I had to go into my contacts and delete him manually before I could send her correspondance - I didn't want HIM to get it, just her.  I don't know if my contact list did that because they have the same last name (though her brother and mother are on there too, and they weren't added), or if she did it herself...  though I am not sure it would be something that's possible for her to figure out - I don't think I could figure out how to do that.  I don't even know if it can be done at all.  I'm so confused, lol.

Anyway, going to stay alert today - if that's any clue on how the day is going to go.

Adults

I just have one question - why are there people out there over the age of thirty acting like they're still 12 years old?  And why, oh why, do I have to be involved???

Woke Up Sneezing

Terrible allergies this morning, spring is definitely here.  It's funny, I don't remember having allergies as a child, but damn, I sure have them now.  With that, and the other "monthly" thing that's going on - plus having a family member in the hospital - well, things aren't so good.

Doing more work on the new website today, trying to get a design together for all the content.  I'm sure I'll figure something out.

Don't really want to go anywhere today - but have a feeling it will be necessary later on.  Just have to wait and see.

That's pretty much all my news for now.

Earthquake

Everyone has been asking me about the earthquake that we had here on Sunday evening.  Sorry folks, I was on the subway at the time, on the way home from Long Beach, and didn't feel a thing.  Honestly.  My roommate and I weren't even aware of it until we got home, and then people started calling about it - and I watched the news.

I guess it was pretty dramatic - a 4.7 (though at first they said it was a 5) - and centered in Hawthorne.  A store in Long Beach lost its windows too (funny that we had just left there).  I consider us lucky that we weren't burried underground, lol.  But seriously - no, we didn't feel a thing.

Watching the news was a little scary, just a little - but they were talking about what people should have in their emergency kits and stuff like that - you know, to get ready for "the big one".  And everything I learned growing up is false - you do NOT stand in a doorway, or go outside.  Where's the best place to go during an earthquake?  Under a table.  Yup, that's what the experts say - at least according the local news experts.  So we have ONE table in the house - and we won't fit under it together.  I guess a game of "rock, paper, scissors" will decide.

Let's just hope there's no "big one" while I am walking this earth, lol.  And if there is - I'll do what I have to do to survive - and no, I won't shoot the roommate.

Okay, Here We Go

I'm really not trying to fill the page with too much randomness, honest, lol - it's just that I've finished embedding this blog onto my website and I had to tell everyone - right?  ;)

So that's finished - and now if anyone who visits my site is interested - and notices the small link that says "Deeva's Blog" on the bottom of the page - they can check out what's going on with me.  Which also means that this is the only blog I should be using when I update.  Otherwise, everyone will be out of the loop of things.

So this will be the only place that I update - no more on the other blogs - so if anyone has those places bookmarked, I advise you take them off and just use this one.  Or better yet, view this blog at my site - HERE'S the link.  If you're already on my site, don't click that link. ;)

Dazed Today

I didn't get ANY sleep last night - which sucks balls.  I hate this insomnia, and I hate talking about it - but when you're up all night long for several days running, it's hard to not think about it.

Anyway, hopefully will be getting some $$ soon - either directly deposited in my account, or a deposit for a website I'm working on.  I'll take either, lol.

Quick update about my social life - met a few old friends on facebook that I'm excited about communicating with.  Haven't talked to some of them in YEARS and it's great that we're all finding each other again.  We were pretty close back in the day - sort of "family" like - and I've missed them.  Thank the Goddess for social networking sites.  :)

Well, I'd better get back to work now.  Keeps my mind off other worries, like sick family members and low finances.

Insomnia - Wouldn't Wish it on My Worst Enemies

Seriously - insomnia sucks major.  I have no idea what to do about either - I've tried everything.  Including an herbal remedy.  I guess I'll just have to get used to the fact that I'm not going to get another good night sleep.  I know when all of this started, can almost pin point the exact day.  However, that doesn't help matters.  I'm up, and about, and it's driving me crazy.  So, to take up time, I'm going to be looking around for a better design for this blog.  That should be exciting.
