I'm trying not to forget about my blog... But I'm not sure how successful I'm being... ^.^;
... Course, I don't think anyone reads this anymore. So it doesn't really matter. ;)
Well... Um... Yeah...
Aren't you glad you read those words of wisdom. :)
Anyway, Pandora. Much luv to Pandora.
No, not that one. Pandora.com
It's free on-line radio. ^.^ You give them the name of an artist you like (or two, or if you're feeling daring, you might go as high as three), and they play artists and songs that are similar. It's very cool.
That and DeviantArt.com have kept me from going sane lately. ^.^; So me likey.
Yeah... I think that's about it for this time.

When pumping gas...
When pumping gas, don't put your card in the receipt slot... ^.^; It doesn't come back out.
However, I am VERY thankful for nice gas station attendants... he-he-he...ehem...

Yeay for new banner!
I've been meaning to change that... -_- But I could never do something I liked...
It's not what I origionally thought it was going to be, but Fei-chan likey. ^.^
And in case you do care, I do have all of my artwork at http://eternalpuppy.deviantart.com/ Then you just hit the "Gallery" tab. Just last week I actually put up my "steam punk" gal that I'm ubber happy with. :D Go me!
Um... yeah. Let's see... what's happening with me?...
Well, I'm going to Cirque this Friday with St. Genesious. ^.^ *excited squee* So I'm SO excited about that. That'll probably spawn some fan art. *malisious grin* (this site needs emotes... that would make me happy...)
There was a small cirque-ish thing that came to town a few years ago. That was cool, but the stage wasn't made for it, so it didn't have the same impact... It's not the same when there's a person swinging from a rope and they're only 5 feet from the groud, as opposed to 50 like it's supposed to be. ^.^ So that'll be awesome. Plus we should have pretty good seats. Bwahahahahahaaaaaa.
Um... lol. Well, I was leg wrestling with Lola the other day and tweaked my neck, that was fun. ^.~ She was flipping me over (because of my awesome lack of strenth... go me) and while my body was going, my head insisted on staying in the same spot. O.o Thus stretching my neck... I heard it pop all the way up... Not a fun experience. I don't recomend it... But I feel much better now. ^.^
And... Yeah. I'm exited/stressed about going to Id... I'm excited when I don't think about it too much. ^.^;;;;; So yeah.
Cognito ergo spud!
I think... therefore I yam. ^.^

No B for me...
:'<
Well, I didn't get in to the school I wanted...
Needless to say I'm rather bummed. I really wanted to get in. I wanna do art, and they had the perfect program. <3 <3 And it was my fairytale school................... gr...
I did get into a companion school to it. Which is all well and good, but it doesn't have the art programs that I want. It has art... but more of a fine art/put-it-in-a-museum type... and that's really not what I'm going for...
And I'm not sure if it's just the mood I'm in, or really, but it just seems like the school I got into is... second...
-----*insert long break and talk with friend*----
Ok, much happier outlook...
The other School, we'll call it "id", has some really cool looking art classes. Coming from a small school that had about 7 art classes, it's enough to make me drool. <3
However, unlike B, I doesn't have animation... Illustration stuff, but no animation...
I want animation...
But, I did get into Id... And I think I would feel safe there... I just don't know if it's definately where I wanna go... gr...
So yeah... ^.^;
This is not the life I ordered!

movies
Well... Ok, yeah, I kinda died... But it wasn't as fun as I thought it would be, so I came back alive and decided to blog. ^.^;
So, movies... I've seen a few since I last blogged about that and I figured I'd share.
HBP:
So, first on probably every one's list is "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince." Because... y'know... Harry Potter (and Twilight, but I won't get into that here other then to say Edward is awesome and Bella needs to go away) has taken over the world.
So guess who went to a midnight showing!!!? ^.^ Mwahahahahaaaa....
I went with Lola and I REALLY enjoyed the movie. I wasn't sure if I would or not. My basic thoughts on the movie were that it had awesome graphics, creepy dead people, and really nice skin. lol
Now... before you stone with rocks, mallets and magic fruit, it's been a really long time since I read the book. And I actually didn't like it that much from what I remember. I was rushing through it because of all of the hype, so that's part of it. But I remember thinking that it was just a bunch of boring relationship what-not. There was something about a memory, and the last hundred pages with the cave/horcrux stuff were really good. That's about all I remember.
So I liked it! So there!
...
...
*runs from hurtled heads of cabbage*
Ice Age 3
Eh... Ok... It had no storyline to speak of, and the new guy... What's-his-face... the ferret with the eye patch that leads them through the world of dinosaurs... The annoying little know-it-all... He bugged.
Although I did think the animation was top-notch. Dreamworks has some amazing stuff ^.^ and I am really beginning to fan-girl over them like I do with Pixar stuff (although not so much with Pixar once they got bought by Disney... Could just be my imagination... dunno).
The best part of the movie was the Scratt stuff. <3 I simply ADORE that little buck-tooth squirrel. <3 <3 <3 He's my favorite part in the first two movies, and he's got a bigger role in this movie. <3 The female squirrel was... an interesting choice. Not sure how I feel about her. It was an interesting twist if nothing else. Although I think she ruined Scratt. Or at least ruined the reasons why I love the little guy. I love his never-ending search for his acorn. <3 Then when they add this strange love interest... I wasn't really sure how to take it.
I did however absolutely LOVE the scene with the acorn's love song to Scratt... ROFL That was just CLASSIC!! That was my favorite part in the whole movie. ^.^ That and the very end where Scratt chooses his true love at the end... *snikker* WE LOVE YOU SCRATT!!
So...
I know I had another movie I was gunna talk about...
OH!
Inkheart!!
I've blogged about my movie before (precccccccciousssssss....) and I'm gunna do it again! Take that!
Well, it finally came out on DVD. <3 I'm disappointed though... I love my movie, it's a great movie... But it didn't get much publicity at all... :'( I was watching (not quite) patiently for it to come out on DVD. I was watching and waiting, and I only heard about it because it said "Now on Demand" on one of our TV stations... O.O Wait... what? You mean it's OUT!!!...
So I ran over to Target (well... ok, by way of Borders) to buy it. <3
I'm the happy owner of the Inkheart DVD.
Which brings me to point two: There are practically NO special features on this movie...
The only thing is one of the actresses (the one who plays Meggie (and one of the kids on Nanny McFee I realized later)) reading the last page and a half of the book... That's it... No behind the scenes, no director's commentary, no author commentary... Makes for sad fan-girl...
And I was really looking forward to seeing some behind the scenes stuff 'cause the special effects on the movie are AMAZING! There's scenes of characters breathing fire, and the scene at the end with flying monkeys, unicorns, and a big smoke/fire creature that rivals the Balrog in Lord of the Rings... GR!
But... I have my movie... That's what counts... <3
(and looking at this post... My English skills have sunk WAY down... I do more net-speak then English... It's sad...)

A phone that makes me feel old...
Wow... I feel old...

Well, next they say phone. "Aha! I was wondering when they'd get there..."
So, I was asked to substitute for a class at church yesterday... 7 and 8 year olds. Ok, cool. All in all, it actually went really well. ^.^ I actually had this particular bunch of kids when they were Sunbeams (3 and 4 yrs old), so it was fun to see how they've changed. They haven't much, they're just louder. So that was fun.
But anyway, it was on prayer. And so I started out by saying "So, who here has a family member who lives really far away." A couple responces. (see, louder! Before I would have to coax them to say their names) "So, ok. How do you talk to them?" (talk=prayer. Ain't I clever? ^.^ I bet no one's ever thought of that coralation before!)
One person said a plane, so I drew a really bad plane on the bord.
Yes, I realize it's really bad, but it's something... You can at least recognize it a little, right? ^.^;

So next they said walkie-talkie.... Ok
Yes, while I realize that is a REALLY bad drawing of a phone... you can recognize it...
So one of the kids says "That doesn't look like a phone!"
Yeah, it's a bad drawing? ... so? Whatever, I don't really care. "Would you like to draw one?"
So I let her...
... A cell phone...
I feel old... Do you feel old? I sure feel old...
updates and downdates
My goodness... On a month, off a month... on a month... off a month...
I knew I'd been ignoring my blog, but I didn't realize it was this bad.
Anywhoodle. I was noticing my lack of bloginess and decided to fix it. ^.^;
Well... Gee... what's been happening to me... Well, I made a trip to go and visit B school. <3 Absolutely LOVED it. ^.^ It looks like a really cool school, and a good fit for me. ... Now I just need to get IN... heh, hehe.... Wish me luck on that...
Other then that, life's been pretty normal.
Oh, my manager did say something kinda funny to me the other day...
Although first I have to tell you, two weeks ago I had a REALLY bad day at work... Like people waiting 15 minutes for food bad... We're not supposed to make people wait more then like 30 seconds according to the manual, and like 2 minutes in practical application... Five minutes is a no-no... So 15 is a HUGE no-no...
So... I was taking a test ('cause if you pass you get a 20 cent raise w00t!), and one of my managers was grading it and making conversation.
"Yeah, you've been doing really well. You were kinda slow and I was wondering 'Oh no, I may have to fire her because she's so slow!' but you're good now. I really like you on front counter."
O.O Manager say wha???!?!?!!!111
So... I'm doing well now... And before you were maybe thinking of firing me??... oy... Um... yeah, thanks for that lovely boost of confidence there... I'm just gunna go sit in the corner and cry now, thanks...
So that was fun...
Anyway, my next post will be more light hearted. I just thought that was odd...

Limbo...
I'm happy where I am.
I have a good life. I love my family. Heck, I even like them from time to time. (an odd statement for anyone 12-30) I have a nice job, no real huge world-is-coming-to-an-end worries. I have a really good life!!
...
But I want to move on...
It scares me, don't get me wrong. Change=bad.
But at the same time, I'm not getting what I want right now. I feel like I'm in a rut. A very comfortable rut, nice fluffy pillows and a teddy bear in the corner... But a rut.
I went to go visit the town where I grew up today. To give you a picture, it's very much like Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls. Very small town-y. And very pretty. ^.^ I love it there. <3
But as I was driving through I thought "I love it here... but it doesn't have what I need right now. I need a school."
I love my life. I love my home. But... it doesn't have what I need right now.
*sigh*... I always thought when making decisions like this that there wasn't supposed to be regret in the choice that you didn't take... It was like this for the A vs. B thing too... A looks awesome!... But I want B... Not that I don't want A. It's the same here. I want to leave... but it's not that I don't want to stay...

Monsters vs. Aliens = AWESOMENESSSSSESSS!
From the call-back to "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", to the break dancing cockroach, One of the most entertaining movies I've seen in quite a while. ^.^
Lol. Yeah, just got back from "Monsters vs. Aliens" and I absolutely LOVED it!! Really, really good. ^.^ Really, really silly. But really, really good. ... Really.
I feel like their should be more I could say... but it really has to be experienced.
So yeah...
Bob...

Hey, I'll trade ya a pencil for your TRUCK!
Lol. ^.^ True story too!
Well... to a point.
For institute we played a game, called "bigger or better." The aim of it was to start out with something simple, and trade it with people to get something bigger or better. We started out with a pencil.
We had about four groups of three or four people, and were all given a pencil and given a 45 minute time limit. No rules other then that really. And if the people wanted their stuff back after the game was over, we could do that.
So me and my little group started out and actually got some pretty cool stuff before we got the winning truck. ^.^ Yup, we won! GO US!
*ehem* We started off trading the pencil for a carpet tack strip, which was traded for an old beach chair, for a boom box, and for a truck. ^.^
Yeah... We had to give the truck back. And I knew the people who let us borrow it... But still! We didn't know the other people! And I thought it was very cool. ^.^ And I'm still amazed people gave us something for a pencil... A pencil?! After that I figured they'd give us something, but a pencil's a pretty mundane thing.
So yeah. Fun game.

Happy Easter Ya'll!
So I'm looking around at the blogs that I read, and not ONE of ya'll has an Easter topic... Ok, kinda Lola. But not the rest of you!
Dude!
What's up with that?!
The only problem with this... is that I don't really have anything to say... I mean, I could randomly put out something like "super-cali-fragalistic-expealy-do-shus!" But even at times that this, it feels some how inadequate... Plus I'm sure I spelled it wrong.
So I'm just gunna borrow some words from an apostle! ^.^ 'Cause I'm sneaky like that! Boo-ya!
...
But I can't for the life of me figure out how to put up a video without going through the whole "Google Docs" thing... I know there's a way... I see the "add video" button... but at least as far as I can tell, that only lets you add video you have on your computer... *sigh*

A day in the life of a would-be art student
Well... I love art. I think I've said it before. And for those of you who don't know: "MEEEEESS LUVS THE ARTZZZ!"
Well, I plan to be an artist when I grow up.
Or at least someone who does something creative as a career. (I want to be a momie, but I think at least preparing for a career is a good idea for anyone) I really don't know if I want drawing, illustration, animation... web design? Heck, I've played with the idea of fashion designer!! (and for those of you who know me, you know how plausible THAT laughable idea is)
Well, I've been doing a little research (very little) and I requested information from an art school. Gave them my information last night around 11 or so and figured they'd get in touch with me soon-ish.
I did NOT figure they'd get in touch with me the next day...
So they called me today, and I had a sort of impromptu interview with the dean of admissions (which actually went pretty well, if I do say so. Nothing spectacular, she just asked me why I like art and so forth) while I was in Target. (odd spot to have an interview... but that's when they caught me)
*sigh* So... I am attempting to venture off into the world!... I only have a vague idea of what I want to do. I don't have the money. I've never lived on my own...
All I know is that I love art and it makes me happy. ^.^ It should be an interesting year for this little puppy.

I did NOT figure they'd get in touch with me the next day...
So they called me today, and I had a sort of impromptu interview with the dean of admissions (which actually went pretty well, if I do say so. Nothing spectacular, she just asked me why I like art and so forth) while I was in Target. (odd spot to have an interview... but that's when they caught me)
*sigh* So... I am attempting to venture off into the world!... I only have a vague idea of what I want to do. I don't have the money. I've never lived on my own...
All I know is that I love art and it makes me happy. ^.^ It should be an interesting year for this little puppy.

Hey... Ever had a bee crawl into your ear?
I HAVE!
Not something I recommend. ^.^;
Yeah, a few weeks ago I had a really interesting day.
I was just getting off work and getting in my car. I'm putting my stuff down, put the key in the ignition... and realize I've got about four bees one me and there's more outside... O.O Two on my legs, one on my shirt, and one climbing into my ear. *shudder* (note: bees are loud!)
It was hot outside, so they were all buzzing. I thought for sure the one in my ear had gotten stuck in my hair... "Great. Now I'm gunna have a bee in my hair for the rest of the day... This'll be fun to explain..."
So I prayed like crazy to not get stung (I don't know if I'm allergic, but I'd rather not get stung if it's all the same to you). And slowly and carefully make it out of the car only to realize that my car is surrounded by about twenty bees. O.O
Great...
At first I figure, ok. They like the color (it's a pretty blue) and they'll leave in an hour... or so... I hope.
Then I notice the big brown spot on the tree I'm parked next to.
I'd parked under a new hive. ^.^; Yeay me!
So there I am... personally bee free, but with my car fairly swarmed and my door open. And I don't even feel comfortable enough to go close the door, so I can't even leave my car there and try to get help!... *groan*
A couple people from work get off, and ask if they can do anything. At this point I'm not afraid anymore and I'm just laughing my head off. (C'mon, you know it's funny!)
Thankfully the bees calm down a little bit, and I can close my door, so I do and head back into work. I find my manager and explain "Hey, my car's full of bees, can I use the phone to call my mom and get a ride? ^.^;" Meanwhile, apparently one of the other management peoples heard about my plight and came over very gung-ho and "I wanna go kill some bees!"
Lol. So he got my car away from the bee tree, and I was able to get home. Un-stung too! That was nice.
A week later I checked the tree, and the bees were gone. ^.^ I don't know how, but someone took care of them. *phew*

Happy SAD chicken!
Well first of all... Happy Singles Awareness Day!
Second, I has a job again!!! w00t! ^.^ At chick-fil-a, it's a fast food place. I've never heard of them myself, but I saw the ad on facebook and applied. (see... My endless time on facebook has actually done me some good. ^.~)
And it's actually kinda a funny story.
Now, I've been bad... I didn't apply like I should... There was no plastering of the city with my resume... I rarely even left my house... I had no job, and I liked it... I would have times where I wanted to have something to do... but those feelings were quickly squashed.
So, I was on facebook (like I have been way too much lately... Yes, my name is Fei-chan, and I have a problem...) and I saw a little cow on the corner of my screen with a sign on it saying "Hey! We're hiring where you live!" "huh" thought I "a place that's actually hiring... That might be worth a look see."
So a few days later (have I mentioned how lazy I am??) I went over to the building. I looked around for someone to get an app from and noticed the hours on the door. M-Sa... blah, blah... Sunday closed...
O.O
Sunday CLOSED??? I MUST work here!! (My religion is important to me, and I resist working on Sundays)
So I got an app and was scheduled for an interview. (they did that with everyone, so nothing special there) So I show up, all dressed up with a notebook in hand. Don't I look spiffy.
It was a group interview. I'm not too good with group interviews 'cause I don't tend to push myself, I'll let others talk and just kinda sit there agreeing... But I was hopeful, and they weren't open Sundays. (my mantra...)
So it started. Oh, and one other thing. I prepared some, but I had perfect answers for only two questions. Why do you want to work here (Sundays... Sundays... Sundays... Oh, and you look like you have quality food.) and something else that escapes me...
Well guess what two questions he asked? ^.^ So I got to shine. And apparently really charmed that guy. 'Cause I got the call for the second interview before I was even home yet.
So second interview rolls around... ... ... I'd prepared for a total of about 35 minutes... Bad Fei-chan... I didn't do nearly as well... I didn't do anything wrong, but I didn't do anything really right either... So I figured I was out. 'Cause they had a lot of people applying...
Well, couple hours later my phone rings and I pounce. Hey guess what? I got the third interview! (total of three in all) ... Only this one is with the owner. O.o; No pressure...
So this time I prepared!! Oh, I had a week to prepare for the second, only a day for the third... Oh, and did I mention I had a dentist appointment earlier that day?? ^.^; With fillings?? Yeah... But I prepared!
I was still kinda numb and slightly slurry when I showed up... And nervous... 'Cause this one was for all the marbles and maybe even some of the buttons as well...
So I got there, actually a little early, and sat in my car and stressed some more. Got in, waited a bit, and was walked over to the owner... Big, bad scary owner...
It was the guy who interviewed me the first time. ^.^ *phew* "Well... I have the job ^.^" I thought. I'd always had a good feeling about this job, but that pretty much fixed it in my head.
Heh, he asked me if I had any questions, and then pretty much just asked if I wanted to join. DOI!... "Yes please" ^.^
So, I has job!! ^.^

Coraline movie
Well, it was certainly creepier then the book. >.O
And there's an interesting distinction there; the movie was creepy, not scary. Don't know how it quite got into that middle ground, but it's rooted there very well. And MAN they did a good job on the "other-mother"... *shudder* I actually had a small nightmare from her. Nothing major, but enough to freak me out.
Lol and I liked Wybie. ^.^ He was cute. Wasn't in the book, but he was a good addition...
Oh, and beautifully rendered... O.o; Man... I can't believe all the work that must've gone into that... Wow... If you poke around the website you actually find out that the gloves that Coraline gets are hand-made... Yikes...
Anywho, without spoiling the movie, any more then the trailers do, it was good. Not spectacular, but good. And creepie... I didn't think it was that much as I was seeing it... but I'm having creepy flash-backs. ...
OH! And there was a trailer for 9. That looks really good. Can't wait 'till that one comes out...

Coraline
Since the movie for Coraline is coming out in a week and a half I figured I'd read the book. And actually, I was sadly disappointed...
It's cute. It's a nice story... But on the cover it says how scary it's supposed to be... And it wasn't really. The characters were interesting. I liked the cat. ^.^ But I never really feared for Coraline. She faced some freaky creatures, but I wasn't really afraid for her. It was simply a fact that she would get out of it...
It was ok, it was just a kid's book... If I was younger I suppose I would find it scary, but I didn't... Ah well... I still plan on seeing the movie.

Inauguration 2009
Well, today we have a new president. President Obama.
Overall I don't really know what to think about having a new president. I don't know what he'll do in office. I have no real say, so I don't worry about it much. Yes, I do vote. But in a I-am-only-one-person sorta way.

- Heh... on the news station I was watching they were saying how "even if you don't like Bush's policies, you can see here that he's a nice person."... And Ok, that may be... But I laugh how yesterday he was this EVIL MAN... and today he's a wonderful person. The ficklness of the media and the general public never ceases to amaze me.
But my mom made a good point. It's the right thing to do. Even if you have to lie and air brush what you think of him, he's out of the spotlight, and it's still the right thing to do. - I find it interesting about how when Obama was running that they asked him "Do you think that your color will be an issue for some voters?" Or some other similar question... Um... Doesn't the fact that you're asking mean that it's an issue?
- This is a global event. My mom, crazy person that she is, regularly chats with people around the world. Europe mainly, but Japan and stuff too. And the people she's chatting with are watching it too because they think it will effect them. I don't know how directly it will, but even the fact that they care enough to watch is amazing... I'm not even sure what type of governments most of Europe has... and they know the name of our president, and care enough to watch his inauguration... O.O Wowzers...
- flubbed swearing in... >.<>thing that went wrong, was the fault of the leader because he'd messed up that special ceremony... I really hope that doesn't happen with Obama...
- Victory. This whole thing of electing a black president is being talked about as a victory. That seems odd to me. I thought the whole racial issues were gone...? But I'm young, and I know they were saying that sixty years ago this wouldn't have been thought possible. So maybe it's just me that sees this as odd. *shrug*
- Two things that I found interesting in the prayer that was said over the lunch, "In your soverign name" and "protect them from moral arrogance"... The second just 'cause it's cool. But "in your soverign name"... That struck me. 'Cause the guy saying the prayer is saying it for the next president, the next soverign of our country. And saying "in you soverign name" signifies that God is higher then Obama. GASP! I'm glad he said it, I just thought it was bold.
- And one last thought... 'cause this is turning out longer then I'd thought... I remember a show that played in... Oh, I forget the year, but Clinton was president and we were going through the whole Monica Luinsky thing... But the series was set in the future and Terry was taking a test on the presidents and couldn't remember who came after Clinton. He asked a class-mate, Max (Terry=guy, Max=girl) who was next. She said something like "Well it was really boring till we had Clinton, and that's when things really got interesting... After that it was boring again." Lol. I can't help thinking about that when we had the whole re-count thing with Bush, and now Black Obama... Heh, and Max was black herself. Lol. ^.^ It's funny how she wouldn't think that was exciting.

Traditiooooon! .... tradition!
I meant to post this like last week... ^.^; But I was busy with work and such...
Anywhoodle, I thought it would be interesting to talk about traditions, holiday and other.
As far as Christmas goes for our family, we usually put up a tree and decorate it with far too many ornaments. Christmas day we don't really go anywhere, we just have it at home. Have breakfast and open presents. I'm usually the one who gives them out. I sit near the tree and hand presents out as each person opens theirs. I don't give the next one out till we've all had a chance to ooh and aah at whatever the last person got. (Oh, and we don't open anything early. We have to wait till Christmas day... Although if I get something from a friend or family that isn't there I don't have to wait for the whole family to get there. ^.^)
The only really unique thing we do is we have clues with our gifts. I forget how it got started... I think it's a tradition in some other culture or something... But we have clues on our gifts. The tag will say who the gift is to, who it's from and a clue of some sort. The opener doesnt' have to guess right, but they do have to guess something before they can open it. ^.^ I think it makes it more interesting that way. ^.^
For example my dad got my mom something this year and the clue was:
Once=white
Twice=black
...
...
...
It was a toaster. ^.^

Square Candies That Look Round
Title taken from my favorite chapter in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and the scene that didn't make it into either movie... gr... (look it up, it's really cute. ^.^)
And inspired by how work has been "up-ways and down-ways and side-ways and slant-ways and every other ways you can think of" lately... >.<
Up-ways 'cause Hey! I has a job! I like it. I like the people. And I has monies for Christmas!! ^.^
Down-ways 'cause... heh... The bare walls... We are going out of business after all... And the customers. >.O; We have bargain shoppers who say that 60% is still not enough of a discount (which ok... we are going out of business and yes, everything must go... but still! That's over half off!!1 *screams into pillow*). And I feel very comfortable here. I really like the people. I attach myself to my friends and they become my family. So I feel like in losing my job I'm losing family... (Am I the only one who's sad about stuff like that? It's like that at the end of the semester too... Maybe it's 'cause I have such a small family...)
Side-ways 'cause of Christmas... Dag-nabbit I feel like it's just another day off... Just another poor excuse for picking a man's pocket every 25th of December... >.<>.< I like Christmas dag-nabbit!! I wanna be able to enjoy it!! I've had no time to. I spend more waking hours at work then home. I've been too busy with work.
Slant-ways 'cause after Saturday I won't have a job. So great! I have time now! I can relax! I can enjoy Christmas!!... except the minor point that Saturday comes after Thursday... So I have all this time to slow down and enjoy... ... *nervous cricket chirp* ...?
And dag-nabbit I get stir crazy with nothing to do! >.< I only enjoy down time when I'm "downing" from something. When it's just down with no sign of an up, or no up that I'm avoiding... It's not a good thing!!
*sigh*... So yeah... Up ways and down ways, etc... -_-;
Merry Christmas ya'll. ^.^; I really am happy about my life!... Really!
