YOU'RE ON MY FRIENDS LIST, I WANNA KNOW YOU...I want to know 33 things about you. I don't care if we never talk, never liked each other, or if we already know everything about each other. Short and sweet is fine...You're on my list, so I wanna know you better! =)


1. Can you cook?

Limited foods, I'm better at baking than actual cooking.

I wanted to be a teacher and an artist and a horse trainer and obviously none of those have happened but I think I'm happier this way.

3. What talent do you wish you had?

I know it's completely superficial but sometimes I wish I was more at ease talking to people. The one time in the past two years a guy hit on me and I clammed up so badly it was humiliating.

4. Favorite place?

It was Thornfield...sometimes it still is. Boston is another one but mostly, I'm usually pretty content wherever I am.

5. Favorite vegetable?

Raw carrots and celery, corn, mushrooms (do they count?) olives (not sure about those ones either...)

Break out my ipod because she's always with me and amuse everyone in the elevator with my crazy dancing.

14. Worst thing to ever happen to you?

Grandpa dying is top although losing Jaide is a really close second.

15. Tell me one weird fact about you:

I clean my ears obsessivly.

16. Do you have any pets?

Zumi and the gerbils, Taka and Naoki, in the house in Watertown and I still have Rocky and Nemo at home.

Brown

Ketchup...hahahaha.

33. Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you?

Aren't I already?

long time no update?Dec. 11th, 2006 @ 08:37 pm
Towards the end of my shift, a guy called in. His name was pronounced Ian

His name was spelt Iain

I saw that, knew what it was but read it as Lain with a lowercase L


I immediately throw the mic on mute, let out a loud SQUEE and then realize a few things.

1. Lain is in Australia and would not be calling Samsung America
2. Lain is not male
3. My ipod probably wasn't on the phone either..

*le sigh* Go back to take care of the call and ignore the weird looks from other people.




Oh...one other thing. I'm trying to get Christmas cards out before Christmas for once and since I don't think I have any home addresses other than Julian's and Dan's, leave me your address and I'll mail out the holiday goodness!

Okay...does anyone know if the AA is actually down for good?

It looks like the page is available to be bought.

If that's the case, I shall buy it and get it to redirect to AB.

She's goneJun. 28th, 2006 @ 10:20 pm

It hasn't even been a week since Ash died. 

Arwyn died about a half hour ago. 

That's her with her second litter...the four that survived at least. 

 

People don't get it...she was my baby.  She was the fourth gerbil I had gotten and the first one that liked me.  She never bit me, not until this week when she was in so much pain and she bit me to tell me how much she really was hurting. 

I've been crying so fucking much, I don't even remember crying this much when Grandpa died. 

I guess gerbils only shed one tear in their entire lives.  Ash and Ebony cried one tear of blood when they died, Arwyn didn't even do that.  I thought she was going to die on Sunday when I realized she was weighing about half as much as she used to.  I don't know how she did it because she couldn't move, she could barely drink, she couldn't eat but she held on for three days.  Even today when I got home from work, she couldn't even open her eyes, she could only breathe. 

 

She waited for me...I couldn't leave her after that.  I went downstairs to eat and when I came back down here again, I wrapped her up in some tissues to keep her comfortable and brought her down with me. 

It was appropriate that out of all my gerbils, she was the only one that I was holding when she died. 

 

It's things like this, losing something so small that you never realized how important it was in your life, that makes you realize the significance of every little breath.

Especially when you're watching that small something fade, knowing each breath could be the last. 

When she started to go, I knew it.  She couldn't move but somehow still got her tiny little claws around my pinky.  I really think she knew what was going on, knew she was dying and wanted to let the girl who loved her so much know that she was going to be okay. 

 

I know she's better now, she's not hurting anymore and she's with all of her babies and her mates...she outlived every one of them. 

 

I just wish I could stop crying....

 

R.I.P Arwyn...my little baby.

*panics*

LJ is down again....


Need...BR...roleplay...

Seriously, the only reason I'm posting anything in here is because I've got to updating something with pointless babble.

Hi, I'm Andi and I'm a blogging addict.

*searches for an inhaler*

Ahh...word perfect, the perfect drug.

There's a BR role play over on LJ that I've become entranced with.  It's based on your writing ability and your ability to make your chosen student a strong, concrete, character.  

I've decided I need to jump in on the next one.  

My student of choice?

Mizuho Inada (female student #1) The weird girl who survives longer than Mitsuko and tries to taken out Kazuo by running up behind him as a "space warrior" and take him out with a knife when he's got about 5 guns, including the machine gun.  

I just think she's one of the most interesting characters from the book and was way too under developed.  

Plus, I want her to have a crush on Yuichiro or something, they'd be adorable together.

[info]_lostsoul_ you should totally check it out sometime.  My LJ username is the same as this one and it's in my user info.  Seriously, I spent about 5 days reading it and am currently routing for Hirono to take it all!

Only bad news?  The girl playing Shogo decided to go the gay-Shogo lusting over Kazuo route.  Not a fan of that one.

It's amazing the difference wording can make.

In Women Studies today, we had a guest speaker from Slovakia. She was talking about living under communism and said something along the lines of "You don't realize how lucky you are. You can choose whether you want to be pro-choice or anti-choice, but you can still chose how you want to feel. Our government decided all of that for us."

Pro-choice and Anti-choice
vs.
Pro choice and Pro-life


and just to be fair

Pro-life and Anti-life
vs.
Pro-life and Pro-choice


It really is amazing how much the situations change, just by rewording what we mean. No wonder there's never going to be any agreement between the two groups with the kind of implications that come in those statements.

THE WAR IS OVER!!!!

I AM VICTORIOUS!

However, since there is still over a month left in this semester, I do not doubt that I will have to fight this battle again. I still require assistence from my army.

The ammo used in this particular battle included:

Turn Me On (Heavenly Mix)
Drop Out 260
Animaniacs theme
We're Not Gonna Take It
Aqua-Barbie Girl
Spice Girls-Wannabe...and the killer was Smile.dk-Boys (Euro Mix)


I saved the extended Power Rangers remix for a desperate situation.


Did anyone seriously doubt the power of my terrible music collection?

I am officially at war with the wench next door.

She started blaring her rap shit again so instead of doing the easy thing and asking her to turn it down like I've had to do twice before, I decided to throw my speakers up against the wall and blare DDR techno stuff to give her a friendly reminder that yes...I still live here.

It didn't work. Okay, next option. I threw on the Animaniacs theme song, turned up the volume even more and checked at the end. She turned it down a little but I could still here it.

I threw on Barbie Girl and it was gone. I thought the evil doer was done.

Less than a minute later, she was back and she was retaliating...

with...Creed.

Seriously...this is war.

I call upon the power of the I.M.L.A to give me titles of really annoying songs to blare against that wall until she surrenders or quiet hours start...whicever happens first.
