They cut off my cable. I was only supposed to get basic which is local channels plus TBS but they had been giving me more than that, like CN and Food Network, but yesterday someone cut it off. I'm now wondering if having only local channels and TBS is even worth the $28.99 I pay every month.
I've been battling myself once again floating on that line between 'i-hate-myself' depression and semi-normalcy. I know I need to see a doctor about this, but I just don't want too since riding around burning rubber helps me out a lot.
This week, though it's been peaceful and heavenly, has been good and bad for me. I've been able to rest but thru all this rest I've had lots of time to think. I've been thinking about my life, my family and friends, and the future. I've been thinking about how immature and selfish I've been. With words out of my own mouth, I've hurt people or led others to think wrongly about other people. I'm such a monster. Truly I am. I'm constantly floating on that line. After two weeks of good rest though, I finally was able to pull myself up and start thinking about what I could do to remedy my hatefulness and selfishness. I complain about my friends, but I really love them. I haven't realized that complaining will turn them from me and one day leave me lonely and desolate. I've truly been blessed with what I have: a comfortable place to live, loving family, supportive friends, wonderful buddies on the internet, and a dream job.
These last few days, I stop and think to myself "When did you settle?" I ask this because I have a friend who is going to live in Italy for two years and then move to Boston, a friend in Austen, Tx; a cousin who moved to Tennessee, and friends/family who have traveled cross-country and international while I'm stuck at home. I'm 23 years old and yet I feel settled. Everything in life has become routine. I hate to say I was actually jealous of my family/friends.
My dad made a good point the other day when I told him this. Then he told me something that I knew was true but didn't want to see. I have a purpose for being where I'm at. A purpose for not moving or doing things that others are doing. God has a plan for me. And maybe he does.
I went to confession yesterday at church (I'm catholic). It didn't feel as fullfilling as I thought it would, but it did help to get me back on the right track. I haven't been in 7 years. Now that I'm a tiny bit wiser, I know that I can watch my words more closely and think before I speak. I feel loved and blessed to have what I do have. I've been thinking about volunteering for the church and helping out with some of its organizations. This will help to get me out of the house, meet new people, and maybe give me a bigger purpose in my life.
Anyway, hopefully, I can fight off the old me and emerge a newer better wiser me. Someone who will be a better friend, a more loving sister/daughter, and a fitting person to have a conversation with.
In short, I apologize to every one for my wierdness (although that will probaby never leave me lol) and for how selfish/childish I sound. Normally, when I write in my journals at home & even in this one, I never read them back because it's the past, done and over with, time to move forward, but what I hadn't realized until now is that in order for me to move forward, I sometimes must look back.
For everyone in this journal, I truly am sorry for not being a better live journal buddy. I apologize for my childishness. I pray and hope for the best for you all that no matter what life's journey is for you, it leads you to peace, joy, and happiness in the end.
As for me, I'll probably still be around, looking forward to the day I can kiss the cable man for putting my internet back on, and hopefull have better journal entries than what I have had hopeful that when I do get the courage to read back on this, I can say that "Yes, I've changed and all for the better." :o)

Saturday, on a whim, we decided to go to the Gulf. I got us lost of course. I'm Miss-No-Sense-Of-Direction. *sigh* We ended up on a road where no cars dared to pass and in some fields. I called my dad. Huge mistake as mr. panicky was trying to find out where I was. -_- He kept asking me if I was near hwy 90. All I could do was think to myself...'how am I going to know. I thought that's why I called you?' anyway, we ended up finding the main road and made our way down to Holly Beach and Rutherford. The beaches were pretty decent for once. It was my best buds first time out there, so she was excited. lol. We even had a one armed crab chase us. lol. Since Hurricane Rita hit they've been trying to rebuild. A lot of the old beach bums were moved out and now some condos are coming in.
After the beach, we decided to head up to Port Arthur, TX & Orange back home. Port Arthur was pretty scary. Of course, we were on the wrong end of town. It looked gutted (Hurricanes Ike & Rita devistated that city) and nasty. I had to pee so bad too. We ended up at a red light and I can remember white knuckling it and screaming at the damn light. finally it turned and I drove like a maniac into McDonalds. It felt so good. XD Relief!!!! After that, we got back on the road and more paranoid. I kept thinking to myself 'if we make it out of here with all our hubcaps on the car, then that's a good thing'. lol. Yes, I'm not only miss gets lost but also a bit Ms. paranoid myself. Thanks dad for the gift. -__-
Orange was really nice. We finally made it back home and went eat at Olive Garden. Stuffed our faces was more like it. I love their bread sticks. Yum!! ^_^ Afterwards, we went to books-a-million where no good manga could be found. Maybe it's b/c I lost my internet, but I'm finding as the months go by, the more I lose my anime love. *sigh* we ended up back home laughing and talking and reading our book purchases. Okay, I read her book purchase. Romance novels. lol. *grins* They're corny but good to read if you want to relax. :)
Sunday was Father's Day. I didn't go see my dad. I saw him last week. My older sister brought me some food and went shopping. My bud left me ;_; but we shall do this again. It was far too fun not too.
One of my other friends just graduated from LSU. He's in performing arts and a terrific singer. He's moving to Italy for a year or two then to Boston. Lucky bastard. Everyone's leaving me and going off to do fun things. I feel as if I've settled. It's a horrible feeling to have. *sigh* oh well, I'm saving up money for vacations anyway. :)
It's 100 degree F over here and the humidity is really high. It's so stuffy it's hard to breathe. We have a heat wave / drought going on. it sucks. I just want to go and run into the water and swim. i have no bathing suit but shorts and a shirt wouldn't hurt, would it? I didn't think so. :o)
Work is going okay. nothing major to report. In fact, for once in these past few months, I actually feel a bit at peace with myself. As if finally I can rest a bit. Scary......
Here's hoping to a really good summer!!
How's every one else doing????

good
The only good thing that I'm looking forward too is my best buddy coming to sleep over this weekend. She's bringing over all her old anime episodes and we'll be making an anime weekend of it. XD So excited about that.
This past weekend, I went stay at another friend's house. They have a swimming pool and got burned like a freshly boiled crawfish. Yikes!
I have lost some weight! Cheers for me!!! XD XD XD I went from a size 18 in pants to 14 and now can fit into 12s although they are a bit tight. So I'm still working on that.
I'm planning a one-day adventure coming up in the next two weeks. I figured I'd get up about 4am and make the 45 min drive down to the Gulf and watch the sun rise over the ocean. From there, I figured I'd walk the beach picking up seashells, let the water wash over my feet, and then make a drive up to Orange/Beaumont to eat somewhere and head back home. I just want to get the hell away from this place for a while. I think I'll even turn off my cell phone for the ultimate relaxation. I also want to go crabbing, but that'll be a later time.
It's going to be up in the 95 - 100 degree weather for the next 2 weeks. And just think, we're not even in August yet (one of our hottest months and strong month for Hurricane activity). I would love to be somewhere up North where it's cool.
Well, I hope my little LJ buddies are doing well. I miss being able to post every night and whenever I want and keep up with everything. But I'm steadily working on building back up enough money to do so. Hopefully, I'll have my internet back.
Okay then, I'm dying for some chicken. I'm having a chicken attack. I want some fried, greasy, unhealthy chicken w/ mashed potatoes & gravey, biscuit, and cole slaw. <---- says the girl who needs to lose weight. -__- Damn cravings.

| You Are Not a Snob |
 There really isn't a snobby bone in your body. You are very accepting. You're not afraid to be who you are... you're proud of your individuality. In truth, you think that snobby people aren't good enough for you! |
I don't know why I'm doing quizzes. I guess to make myself feel a bit better after complainingj. *sigh* Yep, I'm at the library with all my dizzy glory doing quizzes on LJ. My main reason in coming her is to get literature on Jean D' Arc. She's one of my all time favorite heriones/Saints.
( YES / NO MEME )
wow! I have a lot of NOs in here. Might have to change some of those. hmmm....
Short update on the boring life of me:
1. Been up and down on the sick mobile for the past 3 weeks.
2. Been catching stress and hell at work. Every one is up and quitting.
3. Just been annoyed period. I think it's cause I've been sick and for once finally feel better.
The only good thing that's happened so far is that Saturday night my sister, me, and a friend went eat at Luna's Bar and Grill. They have a small court yard. We ate there about 8 at night with a nice breeze and no mosquitos, our only light being by candle. The food was terrific! We listened to three live bands play. The first sucked. The second was called Ashes of Babylon (my sister is in love with them and some kind of way became friends with the saxophonist. She's great at networking.) they're a regae band and very good. The third band was terrific as well. By the end of the night my sister successfully networked a new batch of friends to not only help herself but she could help them in return, my friend ended up almost getting a number from one of the cute guys she had been spying on all night (I say almost b/c she forgot to get his number even though they couldn't stop talking to each other. She got to meet him cause of my sister's great
Okay. That's it. told you...boring. lol. ;o)

*sigh* Weddings are fun or can be fun, but most of the time, I don't enjoy them. I don't know why. I guess it's my own personal problem to learn to get over, but man, just leave me be about that stupid bouquet, and we won't have a problem.

~ My lil sis is graduating high school May 15th. Her birthday is May 12th. Mother's Day is May 10th. & one of my friends b-day is tomorrow May 4th. Looks like my check will be a bit small this month.
~ The hospital is on red alert for that swine flu. Fortunately, we've not had any cases yet. We've had a few people come in with flu like symptoms, but none being the swine variety.
~ Contraband days has kicked off for the next two weeks. I want a funnel cake so bad. -__-
~ I'm getting better at my job, albeit slowly, although my confidence and security in it is still bland at most.
~ It's raining over here and I attempted to watch Stephen King's Red Rose on SciFi but to no avail. Watching scary movies isn't my thing no matter how corny they are. I still end up sleeping in the living room with the lights and t.v. on for a week. *sigh* Pathetic. I know.
~ Books-A-Million hasn't updated their Ouran High manga. Naruto looks like it's getting good again. They are doing well with updating their Bleach. I even managed to catch the english episodes on Adult Swim last night before calling it a night during the middle of Code Geass: Lelouch. I was just extremely tired. *sigh*
~ In fact, I was supposed to go to the club last night. My friend wanted to go and since we were riding around with nothing better to do, we decided to be spontaneous. Of course, this was when we discovered she lost her driver's license and had been driving around for a whole week with out it. We didn't find it last night, so I ended up at home watching Adult Swim. I wasn't angry or even dissappointed b/c I knew I'd go out again for my lil sis's graduation/b-day celebration in 2 weeks.
~ My 5 year class reunion is this year. Every one in my class is either married, has a kid, or is married with kids. I think there may be only a handful of us that has not yet bit the dust.
~ Every time I plan to go somewhere I've never been, I get rained out. I think my parents are wanting to go watch the dirt races this season. I want to go. It's been a while since I've watched the dirt car races at Thunder Valley.
~ I got my eye brows waxed for the first time yesterday. It stung but wasn't too bad. I'll probably regret doing it in a few weeks when my eyebrows will look like some fuzzy caterpillar up and died on my face. Yuck! lol. Although, that is a far stretch from the truth. I doubt it'll be that bad.
~ I've been thinking about joining the city orchestra. It's been a while since i've played my flute or read music, but a bit of practice and I should be okay.
Yep, life is just soooooo interesting for me right now. Wake up, eat, work, go to the park to work out, home, eat, read a book, bed. *sigh* The weekends aren't any better. *heads table* I think there's something wrong with this picture. -__-

- Mood:
blah
I've been doing fine. Nothing much to report except maybe that I've been craving rabbit food (vegetables, fruits) like a madwoman and reading books like crazy.
I went to visit my friend the other day and she let me borrow two big bags full of books and a few DVDs.
"Saving Juliet" is a cute, entertainingly fun read about a girl named Mimi Wallingford who gets thrown into Verona and mets the characters of Romeo and Juliet. It's a cute story that I would recommend to anyone who wants a fun light read or to people ages 16 and younger.
Since I'm a Jane Austin fan, I had to check out two sequel works done by other authors on "Pride and Prejeduce".
"The Darcy's and the Bingley's" was the first book I read. It was very comical, had a great plot, but I felt that it wasn't very close in-character with Jane Austen's originals. It's still a fun book to read but I recommend it to people ages 16 on up.
The second book that I'm currently reading and about to put away due to its not being satisfying at all is "Mr. Darcy Presents His Bride". Unlike the first book, this one is pretty similar to how Jane Austin would have written, although I found myself irratated to death at the authoresses portrayel of Elizabeth Bennet. If you enjoy a good, perfect Mary Sue of a character, then I implore you to read this book. You'll find every one of Jane's character's as flawed and ugly as criminals while Elizabeth is the only one who comes out perfectly angelic. I'm about to burn it except that it belongs to my friend. So instead, I'll just put it off to the side....for now.
Afterwards, I will start on the book series by Sara Dessen. My friend tells me they are great books and that she really wants me to read them. So, I just may start on these tonight while feasting on some corn and a bolagne sandwich. YUM!
The other day, I was cleaning out my computer desk when I came across the list that Laurie had sent to me of good reading material. I'm going to pull it out when I get home, stuff it into my purse, and bring it here to find those reads.
One last thing: Does anyone watch Comedy Central? And if so, did you see Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword last Thursday? I think I may have found a new obsession. lol. The show is crude at some points but hilarious at others. The characters have a present day feel even though they are supposed to be set in mid-evil periods. It plays tomorrow night at 9 after South Park. I can't wait to see it. Sean Maguire plays Krod Mandoon. *sigh* He looks so good. But that's not the only reason to watch the show. They also have a wizard who can't do magic, a giant who is klutzy and too gentle, and a pagan witch who uses sex as her greatest weapon. <--big surprise there. But anyway, it's something to take your mind off the world at least.
Well, I hope every one has a good one. It's off to check my f-list, emails, and then home to hate Elizabeth Bennet Darcy and maybe watch that Final Fantasy DVD that's been starring at me since the weekend. ;o)
When I first read the first book, I was intriguied and ready to give the second one a chance. After the second one, I wanted to burn the book series. Too bad it was my little sister's. My friend and I had a 2 hour discussion yesterday about how some people were saying Stephanie Meyer was the next J.K. Rowling. I burst into fits of laughter and then got angry. There is no comparison people. None what so ever.
Sifirela made a great point about how Bella had no right to be emo. I agreed. Through the whole dang movie and book, the girl was hella emo and I just wanted to slap her teeth out her mouth. First off, she chose to go and live with her dad. No body forced her too. Second, he bought her a truck, tried to get close to her, and everything that he could think of to do. People at school immediately liked her, all the guys wanted to date her (mary sue anyone?) and all she could think about is ...... Edward. The stupid sparkling vampire. Pissed me off. *sigh* Atleast Harry had a reason to be Emo. Bella didn't.
The movie was outrageous. When they were in the woods, it was extremely cheesy. And of course, wouldn't you wonder why Bella and Edward are sneaking off into the woods in the middle of school when every one can see them? Not good thinking skills. When she up and passed Edward and he followed, she just drops her book bag and they walk off into the woods in front of the other kids. Now wouldn't that make you wonder a bit? I know I would be like...hmmm somebody is getting some nokie in there!
Anyway, I just can't see the comparison. J.K. had foreshadowing, mystery, hilarity, and many other wonderful plot devices in her story. Stephanie doesn't. It was nothing more than a cheesy novel for tweens and if it wouldn't have become famous then it would have been turned into a horrible Harlequin romance. Which it was....for tweens.
Gah! I don't ever want to hear anybody compare Harry Potter to Twilight ever again! That's just wrong. -___-
On another book note: I decided to read: "The Darcy's & the Bingley's" by Marsha Altman. It's a continuation of Pride & Prejudice. I hope it's just as good. It should be, it has something about the Kama Sutra floating around in there.
It seems Bleach is once again picking up. The journals have been getting a bit more exciting. I mean, they normally are exciting but not with the same flare as Bleach. I hope it's not going to be one of those five or six chapter flings with great plot and then Kubo will slow it down again. He needs to not do that. Bad manga-ka, bad. bad. I need to see Rukia again. I've re-read all my old Bleach manga through and through from beginning to end of SS arc and I can't take it anymore. I can't take not having any thing new coming from it. It sucks cause I don't have internet to keep up with the chapters. ;_; But it'll be okay. As long as I can make it to the library once a week to check up on everything, I should be up with the chapters.
Anyway, my time is almost up and I'm surrounded by kids. *sigh* I don't mind, but when they start getting loud...yikes.
Ok then. Off to read my book.
Have a good week Jenni! I hope your faux court appearance goes well for you! And for every one else, I hope you all have an equally fantastic week!
Later!
My little sister had her Prom Saturday night. It was really fun and she looked beautiful. We rented a limo (my first time riding in one) and that was awesome. We watched Twilight on the way to eat. The movie was alright. Something I tolerated for Julia <--my little sister, but I rank it like the books. Very depressing and it made me hate Bella Swan all the more. Sifirela, she beat out Relena in this one. All the way.
I also almost fell out of the limo and if the chauffer wouldn't have caught me, I'd have a busted lip. -__- Heals and long skirts don't mix. Julia had a good time before and after Prom, so that's always a good thing. She graduates High School May 15th.
I've not been doing much except going home, work, excercising, and going up and down with happiness and depression. There's never an inbetween. I sometimes wonder if I should seek medical help, but it's not gotten to that point yet. I can still control my mood swings and of course burn the gas in my car just riding around. But if it works, it works.
I've not gotten into any books lately. I've just been re-reading old ones at my house. I just finished Howl's Moving Castle. I think I'm going to try and get some books like Sir Walter Raleigh and such. It would help me get back to the originals. The library is having a book sale here today, I think I'll take a look at that as well. You can't beat .50 for a book or 4 books for a $1.
Anyway, I've given up a bit on Anime for the time being as I strive to find myself and where I really belong. I still got Bleach volumes 1-21 to keep me company and of course good Ole' Yu-Gi-Oh! and Fruits Basket. With time, I'll come back to Bleach. Of course, if Rukia suddenly reappears and things start getting electrifying again between her and Ichigo, I may make an early appearance.
Well, hope every one is doing well. Ta Ta For now! Sequora
There's so much to say and so little time. I just finished my laundry, made my way here, and swiped a computer before anybody else could. Anyway....

crazy
My best friend told me last night that Bleach Anime Box Set for Season 3 is coming out in May or June. I can't wait. I'm going to get it for some Ichiruki memories. *sighs*
Work is going okay. We have new projects going on at the hospital and even though I would like to say that I'm top notch at it, I'm not. I'm learning like every one else in the department how these new systems will work. Of course, they know more than I do, but I'm just excited to be there right now with all this new technology coming in. XD
Other than the spontaneous weekend, and the normal week of working and going home, nothing else has been happening in my life. *sigh* But I'm sure it'll get there. I bought some potting soil the other day for my potted plants, but the weather is just so flippity flop right now, that I just don't want to sit on my porch and fix them for spring. But I should. I love it when they bloom. :o)
Well, hope every one is doing well, and for every one else who is also on vacation.....I hope you are having fun and relaxing. Bet it feels good to leave life behind just for while. ;o)
Oh yeah, I got to get my income taxes done this weekend. YIKES! I almost forgot about that. ;_;
Mardi Gras is coming up.
My little sister's prom is in a few weeks. Her dress is really pretty. It's a corset type all in white.
For V-day this weekend, me and my friends are going out for a good time of dancing. Love being single (most of the time). I can't wait to hit up the V-day sale of chocolate. hehehehehehe! Discounts baby!
The hospital where I work at is doing a Biggest Loser contest. I joined to help lose the weight. I get to join excercise groups and speak to a nutritionist about what sort of foods to eat. I'm excited about that.
Other than these few things, nothing big has been happening. I moved my computer desk. The computer is bigger than a freakin television. It's one of those old monitors. -___-
Okay then, I hope everyone has a good weekend!

I would have put the video on, but library computers are evil and don't work right. I couldn't copy and embedd. Either that, or youtube has gotten a bit smarter. Curse you, youtube! >_< with your anti-anime nism. :op
Well, I'm just having one of those really insane days where your feelings are just all over the place and you have no idea what to do with yourself. *sighs*
I have such a huge range of emotions just flying though that at one part of the day I'm slumped and tired, while another I'm just jumping into my car and driving around like a mad woman.
Have you ever been to that place where you feel like you're the most horrible person on the planet. Where you feel as if you've not ever truly been a good friend, a good daughter, a good sister, a good anything. I think I'm there right now. I love my friends (friends are the family you choose) and I know they love me, and I want to be there with them and for them every step of the way, but it just feels as if I can't. Why? I just don't know. Then there's my family trying to make me move back home. As if my life isn't pathetically boring enough, let's move back to the one horsed town you tried to escape from. And at work, I feel like a big loser. Every one there has a degree in ITS or close to one. Every thing, half the time, is over my head. I just don't feel very secure in my job yet. Some days are worse than others, but no matter how much I beg for them to show me something new or teach me something new, it just seems that they have no time or want.
Maybe I'm just into that winter pity zone right now. I just feel horrible. It's like I can't stay well with my sinuses constantly on a rampage, my best friend came down for the weekend and yet I feel as if I let her down in some way as I did my friend last night when I went sleep over. It's just like I can't get myself out of this pathetic, boring slump I'm in! Yesh! And it's driving me bonkers. >_<
I literally go from one high to the next. I drive around so much now that I'm filling up my car almost every two to three days. I've been working on my diet as well, but I don't have the self-control needed for it. Since January started, I've done nothing but pig out. That's not good at all.
*sigh* And above all, as crappy as this will sound, I miss my internet. I tried staying up beat about it, but I can't. Sometimes, I just want to bash my head against the wall. I'm hoping to be able to get it back in a few months, but I don't know if I will be able too. It all depends on my income tax check and if Obama will give out a stimulus check.
I hate to be so depressing like this, but sometimes it can't be helped. I don't even get on the e-net at work anymore because my supervisor mentioned something about it. So, most of the time, I have to convince myself to get to the library and see what's going on.
Okay, I'm going to go back to doing something. This post is just really upsetting me. Yikes Jamie! What the hell? *sigh* Please hurry and come summer. I need more sun than this. -__-
Hey there everyone! I know I'm not supposed to be on the e-net, especially at work, but it got a bit slow and I'm having some afternoon blahs. So instead, I'm just checking in with every one to make sure they survived the holidays and that Saturday I will try to make the library so that I can reply to some comments and read up on some missed post. :o)
First off, I started the New Year with my goal of losing weight. I joined the gym here at work and I've been doing really good. I go 5 days a week for cardio. So far, my stomach seems to be shrinking. I will admit though, I ate a very late supper last night (8pm) and some chocolate but I was craving it and I had read somewhere that when your body craves it, it really needs it in supply. So I ate a candy bar or two.
But anyway, I've come across some really good web sites that I would like to share with all of you just in case, like me, you are trying to be healthier and slim down for 2009.
www.hungry-girl.com is a cute web site. This woman has been through the meal with her weight and diet time and time again. So finally, she started a site for every one who wants to lose weight and what they can eat or substitute food with. It's really a good site.
www.fitnessmagazine.com You can join for free. I did. Once you join, you can get MP3/IPOD downloads to work out on, create your own work out video, and read success stories and do so much more. They even have this virtual world program that will show you before and after.
http://caloriecount.about.com This is a calorie calculator for all those who do Weight Watchers or just want to count their food calorie intake.
http://officeworkout.msn.com Have you ever seen Biggest Loser? Well, Bob Harper is one of the fitness guru's on the show and now has this awesome little 5 minute workout system that you can do at the office or at home. I enjoy it because of the simplicity that it involves AND you can do it at work without sweating it.
Just thought I'd share that with you. Anyway, things have been going okay on my end. Sometimes I wish I still had the internet so that I could go and read fanfiction and things like that, but in actualitiy, I'm finding myself more and more getting back into my writing and drawing. I've not done those two things in so long. I just about lost the skill.
Sunday night, I watched that Global Dancing Competition. It was alright. I didn't agree with some of the judge's scores. Argentina wasn't that good. I felt no passion in their tango, and I don't know what the US solo dancer was doing. I've seen 'popping' before but I'm not a big fan. It gets boring after a while. Oh well, I didn't watch it Monday. Instead I wrote half of my next chapter for Ode to a Princess.
Well, anyway, since there isn't much going on in my small corner of the world (besides the usual family illnesses and such) I guess I'll be closing this post.
All of you take care! Hopefully, there'll be a computer open Saturday at the library.
See ya!
What a year it has been for me. Even though I would love to say 'good ridance' I can't say that it was an exceptionally bad year. If anything, it was definitely a year of growth and matuarity for me.
I remember the good, the bad, and the ugly, but most of all I remember the wonderful people I've meet both on the internet and here at home and how they influenced my life for the better.
I hope everyone had an amazingly wonderful New Year. When the clock struck midnight here, I was on the road to a friend's house to pick up my cell phone that I forgot there. I was so upset because I was just so tired. I was thinking the whole time "What a great way to start off the New Year dumbass. Forget your cell phone." >_< And then, once I picked up my phone, the anger went away and I was more or less like "This year is going to be a good one. I'll make it a good one no matter what."
Any way, I was on MSN the other day and they like to post up astrology stuff. I was born in 1986, so I thought I was a tiger. But when I put in my full birthday, January 16, 1986, it said I was an Ox. So am I a Tiger Ox? lol. I don't know. Anyway, I think it'll be an exceptionally wonderful year for not only our beloved manga couple Ichiruki but also for the real world. We left 2008 in recession and doubts. We are going into 2009 with bigger hopes and dreams for something better.
Here's to the world and all the good people in it. Cheers to you all and may we all each have a good year full of prosperity, good health, and most importantly love.

There is an increasing problem here in my area of town. Twice, I"ve almost ran down some kid on a bike and twice they have turned around and laughed at me when I honked at them. I don't think they understand the severity of the situation. My problem is that I don't know of anyone in the area who will take this problem seriously since it happens often. But I just had to do something about it, not only for my safety but for the kids themselves. No parent should have to pay hospital bills, no kid should be hospitalized, or even die because they were playing chicken on the road. And no motorists should have to sufer the consequence of their actions. And so, I decided to write a letter to one of the reporters at KPLC over here. She mostly deals with disputes that are a bit minor like this. I didn't know if I should turn it over to the police because they probably would say that there is nothing they can do about it. And I know that there probably isn't, but I still would like to get the message out, especially to the parents, to please watch their kids. And so, here is the letter I wrote to the editor.
( Letter to the Editor )I don't think the letter is really that bad and it gets my point across. To make sure she gets interested in it, I subjected it..Impending Tragedy on the Roadway. Maybe a bit too dramatic, but you never know. I"ve seen a grown man on a bike get thrown two car lengths away from a vehicle that hit him.
