Also, Mrs. Rumples has grown up a bit, she now has about 20 feet of legs under her. And she's not afraid to use them. This picture was taken during one of her many breaks in which she contemplates the destruction of the universe. Or cheese. She does love her some cheese.

So...theory maybe disproved?
Dec. 28th, 2009 01:31 amThis theory I had about a latent male gene inside myself causing me to fun far away from former sex partners may have just been disproved. I am currently skating on the high of having my second "date" with the same guy. Granted, these "dates" were separated by a bit of time, but still, I think my point stands.
ION: I've been in and out of many fandoms since my start as a yung'un in the BTVS fandom, like 10 years ago. And I know this has been a discussion of MUCH debate for all those years and many many many years before, but please people....if you're going to post a fic, no matter what it is, I'm begging you to have it beta read. Or at the very least, run it through a spelling/grammar check (grammar being very important for my point). It's gotten to the point where I'm actually expecting to see your/you're, there/their/they're mistakes. But the one that I've been seeing so much of lately is, for some unknown reason, using then instead of than. The phrase is NOT "better then that", it's "better THAN that".
Please, for the sake of my sanity? Also, because I've been rolling my eyes so much lately that it's starting to give me headaches.

So this is Christmas...
Dec. 25th, 2009 11:59 pmToday was pretty much uneventful. There was no sleep to be had last night, as we started cooking and didn't stop until everything was done. At which time we opened gifts.
I got a set of really nice stereo headphones that I'd been looking at in the store but couldn't afford (my old headphones were literally falling apart) and a 3 month subscription to Xbox Live Gold. I also know that my friend Nancy got me a Bah Humbug t-shirt with Grumpy Dwarf on it and a pair of sweats for when I get over to her house (probably tomorrow).
After opening gifts and eating dinner, I passed out and slept until 8pm tonight.
Now I'm watching Criminal Minds, having decided to go on into season 2 after all. Reid is getting cuter, Morgan and Hotch are getting hotter, Garcia is getting funnier, JJ is getting more lines, and Gideon is getting on my nerves (and I can't even really explain why). Also, I do not like Elle's new hair. Cutting and dying such really pretty hair should be a crime.
Now, off to watch. Ta!

So Christmas has been pretty much canceled at my place this year. We're having the traditional dinner, but that's about it. No one has the money to give gifts...hell, we can't even afford to pay all our bills. I'm seriously thinking of taking the tree down tomorrow. It's just to depressing to look at.
My mother seems to be collecting medical bills like crazy and we just found out that her insurance didn't pay for her most recent surgery, so everything that had been bought had to be returned to pay for that. My car is costing me even more than her doctor bills, though. It cost me over $400 for new tires not even 3 months ago, now I've had to shell out another $800 to get the entire brake system fixed. Now the wiring for the internal lights has shorted out and has to be replaced. And on top of all that, it seems I picked up some dirty gas somewhere and it's affecting my engine. Gods only know what that's going to cost me in the long run.
There are people out there to whom I owe cards. I'm going to try to get them out, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to. I'm really sorry.
As if all this weren't bad enough, I can't seem to find anyone that's hiring even for part time help and willing to work around my school schedule. So no job for CJ. That means no spending money, little or no gas money, all that. Thankfully, my mom is still able to buy groceries and such or we'd all starve.
I can't wait until January when I get my student loan check so I can hopefully have enough to get something done about my bills. And I'm still hoping to put back enough out of that to have my vacation in the summer. I really don't want to cancel that.

Well, that was interesting
Nov. 10th, 2009 05:44 pmThat whole hurricane/tropical storm thing they've been warning us about. Yeah, that was huge. oooo, it rained. There was wind. Come on, this is Mobile, Alabama....if there's a day without wind and rain, THAT'S when we call the National Guard. Yet people were still freaking over it. Whatever! Just get out of my way and continue your freak out.
In other news, there is no news really. My life is dreadfully boring. I'm mostly just biding my time until True Blood starts up again.
The search for a part time job still continues. Classes are going pretty good, anxiety over Algebra not included.
Oh, we got the announcement for our Computers project today. WTF? We had over a month to work on project 1, we have less than 3 weeks to do project 2? And project 2 is WAY more difficult than project 1? Are you freaking kidding me?
Oh oh oh oh!!!! V is tonight!! I can't wait. I know there's only been 1 episode so far, but I have loved V since I was wee little bitty, and this re-imagining is like letting my wee little bitty self free in a big ass candy store with no limits.
Anyone have any V icons that are shareable as of yet?
Please tell me there's someone else out there squeeing over this show with me? Don't leave me hanging people!

Also, in the world we live in today, you would think I wouldn't have toraise bloody hell lecture people about the importance of locking the front door before everyone retires to bed.

Bizarro for the (almost) win!!!
Aug. 6th, 2009 10:13 pmTrivia team came in second place tonight, out of eight teams. 137 points out of a possible 150. We were mightily stoked, until we found out they've changed the prizes. Second place now only gets a $10 discount on their bar tab. None of us drink alcohol at trivia. The manager, who is a friend of ours said she would trade it in for food tab, but when you're stretching $10 between 12 people, we're not really getting much of a prize.
And then I came home to my f-list, only to find out that
entrenous88 has decided to break my brain. This is not the first time she has done this, but it was, by far, the weirdest way she's ever chosen.
And now, I go back to my mainlining of True Blood. I'm on episode six of season one, so I'm hoping we're not too far away from finding out who the killer is.
*prays* please don't let it be jason */prays*

I has them.
I've been invited, by David, to go see/hear this new local band that I've never heard of before. So we're going to do that, then we're going to have a lots of sex. I asked, he agreed, and I said to go ahead and take a nap, cause he's not getting any tonight. Sleep, that is.
woohoo!!!! I gotta go get a shower now. Catch you guys later.

I just got home!!
I went over to my friends' Margaret and Jason's house tonight. We hung out for a while, then decided to go rent movies and cook instead of going out to eat and to a movie. We rented The Reaping, The Mist, Spiderwick Chronicles, and something called Fido about a pet zombie.
We made fried chicken, homemade mac & cheese, and a peach pie that we found in a weight watchers cookbook. It was so good, all of it, OMG!!
By the time we got finished eating, it was already getting late, but we went ahead and watched The Mist (which I loved, but they didn't), and The Reaping (which I'd seen already and liked it enough to watch again - they liked it too). By then, it was after 3am, so I decided to head home.
I am so tired. But I'm glad I got to hang out with them. I don't get to just hang out with many RL people. But now, I miss my online friends. So I'm going to do my best to be online tomorrow evening for anyone who wants to hit me up. I may be a bit distracted because, the Gods know, I can't sit still for anything, but I'll try to be there.
I'm really looking forward to Wall E too. I may see if Sonja wants to go hit a matinee tomorrow. Or just pop in on James and see it for free.
Now, I'm off to watch the new Doctor Who (thank you so much, you know who).
Also, OMG how much do I love the new(ish) Rhianna song, Take a Bow? A lot, that's how much.

May. 26th, 2008 11:36 amI? Am in excruciating pain. I, my friends Sonja, Angie, and Jackie, all went to Pride weekend in Pensacola, FL this weekend. Which is a great thing. I've never been and really wanted to see what it was like.
The one thing I forgot? Sunscreen. I am so red and burnt that lobsters make fun of me. Every square inch of my body hurts with every movement, every breath. My calf muscles get horribly painful cramps in them when I stand up, which nearly throws me to the ground.
So yea, OW!!!!

And in today's news...
Jan. 18th, 2008 07:43 amCJ has gone insane.
I left work at 2:15 this morning. It is now 7:45 in the morning. I have to be awake in 5ish hours. I'm not even a little bit sleepy.
Just finished reading a Sentinel/BtVS crossover by
lit_gal, Experience Curve, which is the sequel to Learning Curve. I loved them both. So much so that I actually put off watching One Tree Hill on tuesday night, and Torchwood last night, so that I could keep reading.
The pairings are Jim/Blair, Blair/Xander, Xander/Spike. But Riley's character is introduced later in the story (Riley/Buffy, nothing explicit), and now I have a huge hankering for Riley/Xander fic. I don't know how many people on my flist still keep up with the BtVS fandom, or still have their links, but would anyone be able to point me toward long or longish Riley/Xander fics? I still like the smut and porn, but these days I seem to go more for the caring, romantic stories than the smutty.
If anyone can help, thanks loads.
Night, people. *weeps bitterly*

Does anyone know where I can find the full version of the original theme song for Veronica Mars?
Please please please?
ETA: Song has been found. Thanks,

ION: Today was possibly the most boring day in the history of the world. The satellite is dead, we have no antennae for the TV, so we've been sitting around, staring into space until we decided to ransack the DVD shelf.
And now, it's very late, so I'm going to bed. Have fun guys.

Not a good night.
Jan. 13th, 2008 01:36 amI was having a wonderful evening. Business was kinda slow at work, we actually got out at a reasonable hour!!, none of the customers were asshats, and I was actually energetic and in a really good mood. Now that I'm home, it's cold, I'm achey, I'm sniffly, and my feet feel like blocks of ice, even though I'm wearing two thick pairs of socks.
Ever had one of those I-want-my-mommy moments? Of course, my mom is right across the hall, but she's driving me insane at the moment, so I'm not going over there.
ION: YAY!!! for DVR. I came home tonight and the new SGA was recorded. Now I'm going to rewatch last weeks episode because, OMGHEADGOSPLODEY!!!, and then I'm going to watch last night's. Wheee!!!
Do they arrest you for abuse of the exclamation point?
Night guys, have fun.
P.S. I really need a 'bad day' icon. Anyone know where to find one? Preferably with Sam Winchester in it?

Jan. 8th, 2008 01:08 amand I don't think it's kosher, either.
Everywhere I look, everyone's so excited about James Marsters being on Torchwood's second season.
I'm not. At all. Other than playing Spike, on Buffy, I've never liked James Marsters in anything. I didn't even like him as Spike on Angel. I think he pretty much ruined season 5 of Smallville for me. I tried watching the new(ish) animated Superman Doomsday movie today, heard his voice as Lex Luthor, and turned it off.
I may have to stop watching Torchwood now, and this just sucks because I love the whole Jack/Ianto thing they had going on.
ION: I'm still alive..though there are probably some people who, after reading what I just wrote, wish I weren't. Also, I'm going to try and start updating more. Not just because I know there are those of you out there who would wither and die with out me, but for myself as well.
Goodnight all, may you have a pleasant morrow.
