This weekend was fun, Shane and I headed out to the OZtoberFest in Wamego (pictures are up). The Wicked Witch Of The West scared the sh*t out of me, people were dressed up and it was a quaint little festival. The museum shouldn't have been $10 a person but it was cool never-the-less.

Came back from that and Shane messed around on Ebay for a while, I'm getting a new phone & it should be here by Thursday-ish. Cleaned the house & organized the bedroom/closet. Put all the summer clothes in a box and piled up all the clothes we don't want anymore. I'm either gonna get rid of them on RileyYardSales.com or take them to the Salvation Army.

Had a "double date" with Lacey & Chris Saturday night. We went to Crackle Barrel and got our asses kicked by the little triangle game thingie (Shane and I bought one so it could kick our asses at home).

Afterwards we went super retro and went to the skating rink in JC. Well, Shane brought his in-line skates and we all figured we could rent them while we were there. WRONG! hahaha. We got stuck with the old school skates. The ones with the "brake" in the front.

My throat STILL hurts from screaming everytime I *almost* fell. We left after 45 minutes cuz the place, first of all, was ghetto as shit. Plus there were random 8 year old skating everywhere trying to knock us over. We just felt too old when some highschool kids started a food fight.

I have to go into class tomorrow to get my results, hopefully I don't have to take the classes cuz they run til December 16th and I wanted to head back to Michigan before the Christmas break to get my drivers license and see friends & family.

Besides the four days we were home before Christmas, I haven't been home for a YEAR lol.

Some guy knocked on the door earlier and sprayed the house for bugs and all that jazz. At least progress is being made. Stupid fucking Picerne. I hate them even more than I hated Belew when we were in Tennessee.

I'm hungry- we have to go grocery shopping. We've somehow managed to avoid doing it for the last few days.
Ooer. I just remembered- I have candy corn

FUCK PICERNE

The art of being anonymous is a talent that I clearly do not posess. I bitched about Picerne on a public forum for Fort Riley- didn't use my real name or anything... Picerne knocked on my door this evening with all my postings in their hand. At least something's going to be done about the mold issue. Thank God.

Class was good today, found out my results from Tuesdays tests- got an A on my reading & writing tests and a B on my math. I thought I did SOOO much worse

Hung out with Lacey after class for a little bit and we met the hubbies for lunch up at the PX.

Tomorrow we have Lady's vet appointment and we're gonna start kitty litter training her.

Nothing exciting planned for the weekend, maybe I can convince Shane to go to the apple orchard so we can get real apple cider, doughnuts, and pumpkins (depending on which orchard we go to).


I should have been a bitch.
I should have told them to fuck off.
I should have shoo-ed them out of my house with a friggin broom.
I should have contacted a health inspector and an outside building inspector.
I should have told them how I really felt.

That they're fucking us over with all the BAH they get they should be able to take better care of our buildings.
That they should light a fire on the maint. people's asses to fix the things that are wrong.
That they are responsible for any health issues that arise because of their lack of care for the buildings.
That they should be concerned with all the other people that posted things on that site complaining about the exact same thing that I was.
That they can't come into my God damn house showing me what I wrote on the internet and basically telling me to shut up (although they really didn't because I def would have thrown in their face my right to FREEDOM OF SPEECH)

mmmm Funfetti yummmmmy

I have "Desperado" by The Eagles stuck in my head, it's been there all day. I catch myself singing it or humming it or tapping my fingers against the desk to the beat of it.
It's driving me crazy.

Shane and I had a lazy day today. He got HALO 3: ODST last night and he had to beat his XBox to make it work. So he played that all day and I reloaded SIMS 2 on his computer and we played our games in our seperate corners lol.

Lovely spaghetti for supper, I made the Funfetti cake again- even let Shane put the sprinkles on it. I have a toothache now from the sugar rush it gave me. I decided to be a good neighbor and take a few pieces down to Lisa.

Lady's running around the house like a maniac right now. She's been sooo good today (and yesterday too) but she's been begging for attention for a while now. She's getting soo big. Yesterday she got stuck underneath the coffee table (one of her favorite hide-outs) and had a hard time getting out.

At least it didn't rain today, it was actually kind of nice but the house (for some reason) spiked to a billion degrees.

My first set of tests for my GED is on Tuesday. I'm nervous. WISH ME LUCK!

Lady's mad at her reflection because it doesn't play back

I've been reading a lot lately, mostly thanks to the PaperSpine program I'm now in. Right now I'm going through Sarah Dessen's collection of books, re-reading all the ones I've already read, most I haven't looked at in YEARS.

Trying to find a new myspace layout (and blog set) but stupid Myspace 2.0 SUCKS.

I'm not feeling too hot today. My eyes are burning, there is water damage in the hallway of our building and I think it's got mold but stupid Picerne won't do anything about it. It's driving me crazy, the sneezing the itchy eyes, ughhhh.

I got my orange duct tape and I plan on practicing with normal duct tape for my costume. I've got people on the look out for gold/bronze colored spandex leggings. I'm happy with my costume


idea :)

I'm getting better at math, it's like riding a bike. I found this website that makes up tests for you to practice with. Hopefully I won't bomb the real thing.

I got a lot off my chest yesterday when I talked to my Dad and with Shane. Now all I've gotta do is wait for Angela or Elyse to come down here.

I feel better, keeping things bottled up inside takes too much energy.

I got a package from my mom yesterday, which prolly set off all the emotions- literally opening Pandora's box.
She made Shane and me a quilt (and made Lady a smaller, matching one).
I made some tea, wrapped myself in it, and had a good cry. It smelled like her. I love it.

So life is good right now, except for the annoying fact that telemarketers have been blowing up my cell phone all day.

I'm about to read some more of my book & do the dishes that I neglected to do last night.

Almost Famous

Almost famous is one of the greatest movies ever...I love every single scene, every single quote, every single song...
I cried, sang, laughed and fell in love with this movie the first time that I watched it...and now, I can't stop loving it, no matter how many time I'll watch it. That's because I made this picspam with some of my favourite quotes ..hope you like it...enjoy




ALMOST FAMOUS




Anita Miller : One day... you'll be cool.

man,young william, is like the cutest kid ...love him, I wanna give him a big hug!



We inspire the music. We're here because of the music.

love the first scene between Russell and Penny Lane (like the song)




- Play on. - Miss Penny Lane.

Act One, in which she pretends she doesn't care...
about him.
Act Two, in which he pretends he doesn't care about her...
but he goes right for her.
Act Three, in which it all plays out...
the way she planned it.
She'll eat him alive.





Russell: I'm telling secrets to the one guy you don't tell secrets to.

I basically adore all the scenes between Russell and William


Ladies and Gentelmen! The evening is over. We hope you all enjoyed yourselves and we'll see you all again in 1974. Good evening!

Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today





William Miller: I have to go home.
Penny Lane: You are home.

this is one of my very favourite scenes in a movie ever...everyone singing Tiny Dancer in the bus.


Deflower. - Opie must die

love Penny, she's just too beautiful


What am I to you? Huh? Tell me.
Tell me right now. What am I to you?

hahahah william's lines are love



PENNY:honey, you're too sweet for rock and roll.
WILLIAM: Sweet? Where do you get off?
Where do you get sweet?
I am dark and mysterious and pissed off!.
And I could be very dangerous to all of you.
I am not sweet!
And you should know that about me. I am the Enemy!
PENNY:Look, you should be happy for me.
You don't know what he says to me in private.
Maybe it is love, as much as it can be for somebody--
WILLIAM:Who sold you to Humble Pie for bucks and a case of beer?
I was there.
I was there!
PENNY:Oh, God.
WILLIAM:I'm sorry.
PENNY:What kind of beer?


this scene is really sad, and Kate did a great job on it, gotta love beautiful ladies crying




Damn it, I'm gonna enjoy this. When I first bought the magazine...
the Beatles were on the cover.
The Beatles. Four of them, four of us.
We take all kind of pills that give us all kind of thrills
But the thrill we never know was the thrill that'll get you
When you get your picture on the cover of Rolling Stone
Wanna see my picture on the cover
Gonna buy five copies for my mother
Wanna see my smiling face on the cover
Of Rolling Stone


I hated this part, the exwife-now girlfriend thing of Russell



I am no good at good-byes.
And you...
are the last of my...
old-time friends



william:What about your mom?
Penny:She always said, '' Marry up.
Marry someone grand.''
And that's why she named me '' Lady.''
william:She named you '' Lady'' ?
Penny:Lady Goodman.
william:Lady Goodman-- that's great.
Penny:Now you know all my secrets. You've got me.
See you back in the real world.
Thank you, William Miller.

finally He knows her real name...he's maybe the only one in that world who really knows her

Russell Hammond: Write what you want.

I hated this, this band was a big part in william's life, and he's just about say good-bye and it's like no one cares...


Jeff Bebe: "Rock 'n' roll can save the world"? "The chicks are great"? I sound like a dick!
Russell Hammond: [to himself] You are a dick.



[Finally getting his interview with Russell Hammond]
William Miller: So Russell... what do you love about music?
Russell Hammond: To begin with, everything.

simply amazing...love how it ends between them.and William finally gets his interview!


Penny Lane: Morocco. A seat by the window, please.

LeeLoo & Corbin Dallas

Found my Halloween costume.
Well, not really "found", being that I have to make it, but still.



LeeLoo Dallas
All I need is some orange duct tape (so I can make the suspenders because I can't find them ANYWHERE online), and some gold leggings (which are impossible to find for anything less than $40 online, I'll have to go shopping I guess).

And this is perfect because the Corbin costume is easy enough to find & stuff Shane in


YAYYYY

http://www.omgpop.com/games/draw-my-thing#/home

You've GOTTA check OMGPop! I've been playing silly games like "Draw My Thing" and "Letterbox". Total wasted time: somewhere in the ballpark of 12 hours, and I've only had it for a week.

Check it out & tell me what ya think

Saw this one last year & tried it on, looked damn fine on me and I think I could pull it off

Time Square can't shine as bright as you

Take a good look at the way things have been going lately, and see if you can't come up with a new idea or two to make a change. There's no need for you to worry about your present situation, though.

I quit my job last night. Got my last paycheck & gave them my two weeks' notice but they're so overstaffed with the silly new people that they won't schedule me.
Grocery shopping after that.
Came home & crashed.

I got paperspine today!
So excited about that.

Lady's running around here like a crack head.

I remembered an address from 13 years ago today. How strange that only certain things stick with you all throughout the years.

I got fucked over trying to sell my laptop TWICE. WTF. Stupid Craigslist.

I just got another email a few minutes ago, so here's hoping!

Shane's out playing with the engine of Johnson's plane right now.

I just woke up from a nap, I'm exhausted today

Viagra's getting sued & Disney now owns Marvel- what's the world coming to?

Your communication skills are highlighted today, so make the most of them! If you've been putting off a difficult conversation, now is the time to try to make some positive change happen!

Sweet.
My horoscope is telling me it's okay to quit my job today.
Which, by the way, I plan on doing when I go to get my paycheck.

Yesterday I was SUPPOSED to work after we took Lady to the vet but I called and they said that I shouldn't come in.

So I went with Shane to the airfield and watching him help take apart a PLANE ENGINE that belongs to his buddy, Johnson. It was cool though, it's just a little Cessna but it took 'em three hours to disconnect the engine from the plane itself.
I have pictures up and more to come if my damn phone will get enough signal.

Woke up this morning with horrible heart burn again, it took a while for it to go away this morning. Even with TUMS. It sucks sooo bad and I'm so sick of it. I think I have a cold too (prolly from being in the chill hangar last night).

I'm selling my computer too. I need an upgrade so I'm getting rid of this one on Craigslist. I'm gonna sell this one, use that money (plus the paycheck I get today) to get a new one. I get a military discount on it so YAY. Plus SNOW LEOPARD just came out. Maybe SIMS will actually completely work on that one w00t w00t!
I wish I could throw in the student discount as well that'd be sooo bad ass! Super discount.

Ohio State vs. Navy on Saturday.
BRING.IT.ON.

'yeehaw" is the "hooah" of the south!

“Language... has created the word 'loneliness' to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word 'solitude' to express the glory of being alone" -Paul Tillich

I'm on a raspberry kick right now.
Raspberry tea.
Raspberry gum.
Raspberry Pop Tart.
Raspberry Nutrigrain Bars.
And to top it all off, Shane made raspberry JELL-O tonight

Yesterday sucked. I didn't go back to work.
I need another job.

I skipped out on work today.
I had a feeling I had to work and at about 6pm my phone dinged and told me I had a voicemail. It was my boss (one of like 7 I have) saying that I was supposed to work at 5 but don't worry about it because they were overstaffed and slow as hell.

There's been like a Will Smith marathon on TV today- HITCH, MEN IN BLACK, MEN IN BLACK II, IROBOT, and INDEPENDENCE DAY. (and I've had the theme song to the "Wild Wild West" movie stuck in my head all day)

I just haven't really been in a good mood lately. Snapping at everyone. Being a bitch for no reason- and no, before any of you ask, it's NOT PMS.
I tried playing SIMS to see if it would help, listening to music, trying to read. Nope. Notta.

*sigh*

everyday i'm hustlin'

Something major happens pretty early today that changes your thinking -- possibly in a deep, primal way! It's a good time to really reconsider your thinking about the big issues in your life.

I woke up at 5 this morning. I don't know why- I just sat up automatically and it was still dark, I looked at the clock & groaned... I took a half hour nap around 9am though. Mostly because I was SUPPOSED to work at noon.

I walk in the door about five minutes early for work and all the bosses that were there stop & looked at me. "Oh you didn't get our message?" Thomas said. I looked at my phone & surely enough they'd called while I was in the shower telling me I didn't have to come in today.
Thank God Shane was just around the corner!

So we come up to the gate and I didn't have my ID- we drove through the visitor area and told them I didn't have my ID with me. The guard looked at me and asked what Shane's SS was- I rambled it off unsure of what it really- thankfully I guessed it right! (thanks to all the TRICARE forms I've had to fill out in the last few months). The guard didn't seem convinced and he asked if I had anything with both our names on it- I thought I still had the direct deposit paperwork in my bag for work. So I dig in my bag and low & behold there's my wallet.

Got home, typed up a cheat sheet for work- I've gotta take a damn test on the 5th that decides A- if I'm allowed to work there and B- how many hours I'll get a week if I do. It's stupid, it'll cover the menu, phone etiquette, register procedure, ect ect. They'll time our sammich making and slicing ability, sooo stupid. Oh well, I'm gonna study my stupid butt off. I can't afford to keep these damn hours anymore. I need more otherwise it's not even worth it.

They told me I'll be working from 5-10 tonight, but I'm gonna call them at like 4 to see if they need me. There's no point in driving all the way out to Manhattan for five seconds to see if I'm working or not.

I just need to put in my two weeks notice. Why did I even bother to "hustle" hours from them- I'm not working anyways! I'm always that "extra guy" there. GRRRR.

Watched BLOW DRY with Josh Hartnett in it last night- made me even more excited for school to start. I've gotta start doing some of that stuff too.

I found a NETFLIX for books! I can't wait to start using it.

Shane's outside changing the oil on his truck. It's kinda cloudy and chilly outside right now, perfect football weather! ONE MORE WEEK TIL THE FIRST GAME!!!! Sooo excited.

I guess that's all for now, sweet Neverland. Life's currently boring and nothing to really write about.

rollercoaster

"the ups and downs and crazy turns along the way it'll throw you off if you don't hold on tight"

Friday night was amazing. We went to the mall, I got a new Sarah Dessen book, had mall Chinese food, and we went and saw the GI JOE movie. I'm officially cured of any Channing Tatum obsession I've ever had, but it was a good movie.

Saturday came too soon though... I woke up with a headache, on the sofa, still in my jeans. I called Jimmy John's to see if they wanted me to work that night and what time I should be there. Russell said from 5pm to whenever I wanted to leave.

So I was planning on staying until close.

I get to work and I start "scrubbing the deck"- meaning mopping the floor with a scrub brush and doing it with a shizz ton of force and my arms hurt afterwards. I got a popped blister/calus that still looks gross. I did that for the first hour that I was there.

Both cold tables were open and working and the door was beeping every couple of minutes. The K-State marching band blocked our storefront for a while during their pep ralley thingy. It was loud and obnoxious for the most part.

So then I looked at the schedule for the next two weeks.
My name wasn't on it.
At all.

I was pissed.
Livid actually.

I'm sick of the Jimmy world jerking me around.
It's such bullshit.

I clocked out last night at 10pm.

The neighbor girls knocked on the door a little while after we got home. They needed a 4th person for beer pong. After the night I had- I was in.

Didn't get drunk. Didn't even get buzzed.
Just a chill feeling.

I decided that if they couldn't put me on the schedule for the next two weeks- for at least 20 hours (because otherwise it's not worth it) then I was going to give them my two weeks notice.

I called a few minutes ago.
I don't have seniority or priority. The hours I can work are pretty much saved for those people who worked there last semester.

This is pissing me off so bad!

I'm looking for a new job now... I'm not putting up with this shit.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

naps & dreams

I just woke up from a nap with Lady (who's behaving herself now lol).
While I was sleeping on the sofa I had the strangest dream- I think I'm watching too much TUDORS. Very old school, kind of my depiction of how I'd gotten my maiden name. Rain & storms, refusal of some sorts, just very random & out there. Def means I've been watching too much TUDORS. It was very interesting never-the-less.

o gentle sleep I hardly knew ye!

Lady woke me up at the ass crack of dawn this morning- and every hour on the hour after that. I put her into bed with me and she attacked my face. I'm exhausted & Lady is being disobediant today. We've gotta teach her "no" and smack her butt but it hurts me to do so. I don't want her to hate me and I want her to still play. I don't want her to think "no biting" means "no coming near Mommy". I'm so lost as to how to train a puppy

I'm still quite irked about the lack of hours they've given me this week at work. At least I have tonight off, Shane and I are going to have a little "date night"- going out to supper and to see GI JOE. Yay Channing Tatum!

I'm hungry, but I don't know what I want to eat. Hmmm...

Woah, creepy part in Tudors.
