So Tired...

It seems as though I haven't the ability to keep my blog up to date. Shit happens. Anywho, I'm back again.

My sister visited this past week and it was super-de-duper fun. She turned 21 (finally) and we hit up Pleasure Island. Side note: I am VERY sad it is gone away now. We also went to the parks a bunch of times. There's loads of pictures on my Facebook and Myspace. It was really nice to hang with her and Owen (her fiance). I like when I see my family. I miss them. Moving on.

I've been doing alot of thinking on the subject of my future. I'm not sure why. I may be bored with things being crappy all the time. Things aren't really "crappy", they're just bleh. Little by little things are getting suckier and I'm oh so over it. I don't know what to do. I'm stuck here for at least another 6 months, but after that I see a giant abyss of possibilities. It's driving me absolutely insane. Which makes me feel even crappier. I want to do this and I want to do that. But, I'm not sure where I'm supposed to go. I guess it's just been a long couple of months.

Ok, this blog is going nowhere. It's stupid and uneventful. Therefore, I'll be going.

Yes...? No...? Yes...?

ROAR!! My blog has definitely been neglected lately. And as a result so have all of my faithful readers (aka Danielle). Well, I'm back now, hopefully for good.

First of all, we had a major issue with our previous internet company.

"Yes, we sent you a statement."

"No... No you did not. How can we pay you if we don't know how much to pay?!"

"Pay or die."

"Suck it."

We died. 

We decide to go with new internet. But when there is a MASSIVE thunderstorm two days before they're supposed to install it and the internet tower is struck by lightning you have a problem. So... we waited. And waited... And waited... Then, one bright and shining morning, they call us with the excellent news of "Monday we're installing your internet!!"

The peasants rejoiced.

It was a beautiful three and a half days. Then terror struck. I awoke Friday only to find the light out on the wireless router. 

"NOOOOOO!!"

After the tears were dried I phoned new internet company and they tell me that it will be Monday before they can get someone to do something about it. By now I figure that the internet Gods hate me and are pointing and laughing. Monday I return valiantly to my phone and make the final attempt with new internet company and they schedule someone to repair it on Tuesday. 

Sigh...

Well new internet company sent out they're warrior today and to make this long tale short and less boring (too late) we have internet once again. Hopefully it will last because I NEED it. As many of you know.

That's all I have to say on this subject. 

Frogs have moved in to our backyard. I love them. They have eaten most of the scaries (i.e. black widows) and they land on my bedroom window with a quiet splat. You can see they're underbellies and it brings a smile to my face no matter my internet situation. I took a picture which will be posted one of these days. You know... The day I get off my lazy ass. Don't hold your breath. 

On a sad note: Our dog back home had a stroke and isn't doing well. Taz is super old and we know that one day will be THE day to put her down but you're never really ready. No matter what you tell yourself. I hate not being able to say goodbye. It sucks ass. Not fair. *Sigh* She's a good girl and is an essential part of our family. We love her too much to lose her. But, I don't want her suffering. So I'll support her moving on so she can be out of pain. *Whimper*

That is all for now. My bed is screaming my name, so off I go. It is sleepy bye bye time. Peace.

Sigh...

Tonight I watched an excellent movie with my awesome roommate Jenn. While watching, an interesting thought reached me. Neither Jenn nor I have a "boyfriend". I don't even have a prospect. In fact it's been so long I don't even remember what a prospect feels like. Sad, yes. As the movie was playing I was thinking how nice it would be to watch it with a "special someone". I then reflected on how Jenn was most likely thinking the same thing. That is when said thought came about:

"Why is it you're still lonely when you're not alone?"

I'm surrounded by people most of my days and it's still not enough. Frankly, it pisses me off. I feel like I'm asking for my cake and wanting to eat it too. Am I? Am I undeserving? Is it because I refuse to settle that I'm a party of one...? I don't "flirt". I think it's insincere and I like to be genuine when I'm talking to someone. I hate playing those kinds of games, but maybe that's the only way. Coyness and trickery are how you start a relationship. "True love" begins with a false pretense? That makes no sense. I suppose that's the problem. I refuse to give in to borderline devious actions for companionship. I prefer honesty. 

I guess I'm putting the cart before the horse a bit, though. As I said, I don't even have a possibility right now. The one person I might (I'm not even sure if I do) have a "crush" on is so unfeasible I laugh at myself when I even think about thinking about him. At the risk of sounding cliche, it's not fair. Maybe some people really are doomed to lives of solitude. Never to be rescued. I know, I know. Shut it. I could be bringing you all down with me. This misery does NOT love company. So I'll leave you all and proceed with my wallowing silently. Rest beckons anyway. I'll lose myself in a deep slumber. I'm sure I'll feel better in the morning. Yadda yadda yadda...

P.S. Sorry for the bumming outness of this blog. A girls gotta vent somewhere. 

Yeti...?

Well, Fay was a total bust. A small trickle of rain and a breeze. Are you freaking kidding me?! I know, I know, some people in other places got alot worse and I should count my blessings blah blah blah. But I was really looking forward to this. All that excitement for nothing. NOTHING. *Sigh* 

To add to the irritation of my day yesterday I had to leave work early due to an "eyeball issue". I have no idea what happened to my eye. It hurts. Direct lighting is the devil. I had to sit in the building with sunglasses on because it was too bright. What is that?! Ahh!!! So annoying. So I trek home and decide to call a doctor. Well one doctor is closed Tuesday and Wednesday due to the "storm". (Oh no! Everyone run from the tiny rain drops!!) And the other doctor's computer is down, naturally. So I have no idea what is wrong with it. I'm pissed. Pissed as hell. Moving on...

My cat peed on the floor. That's irritating. 

On a good note I did make it to bed very early. It was nice. HOWEVER I did dream about snakes. Why, you ask? Because they are everywhere at work. I'm not particularly "afraid" of snakes, but that is not how I want to go. Death by snake is sooooo lame. I'm not sure how I want my death, I only know that a water moccasin is toward the bottom of the list. What if... We're attacked by a giant yeti who has some sort of issue with me and begins to wreak havoc challenging me to a fight to the death. (I don't know... Maybe I ate his winter stash. I would do that...) In order to protect my loved ones from the wrath of said yeti I agree. The result is the demise of both of us. Now, THAT would be an awesome death. Can you imagine the obituary?! Anywho, nowhere in that charming story was the word snake. I'm just saying.

Alrighty. That's it for now. I just wanted all of you to know that yesterday was frustrating. That is all.

Fay

During the recent stories surrounding tropical storm Fay I decided to clear the air on my feelings of said events. 

First of all, yes. I am excited. I realize that hurricanes can cause devastations to those not prepared and in some freak of nature cases. However, this is a sort of adventure that I've never experienced before. I see many opportunities for good times. I know I'm odd. Deal with it.

Item B deals with something on a much more serious note. As you all know I have two cats. To fully understand this situation a briefing on our background is needed. Maggie came to me by means of a wretched roommate who ceased in caring about Maggie's needs, both physical and emotional. So I stepped in and saved her from a life of misery. Sphinx I found at the Humane Society. He was the last of his litter left and already plagued with flem so people were disregarding him. It was love at first sight. Now some years down the road of this disgusting thing we call life I was having what some like to refer to as "issues". To make this long and unpleasant chapter short, Sphinx and Maggie are the reason I am alive today. The three of us take care of each other. Which brings me to my dilemma. During the unfolding of our approaching storm I will be working. Therefore I will not be able to attend to them if/as needed. *Note: Please do not offer suggestions. They only aggravate me. This section is more of a rant so that my thoughts on this subject are validated. Many thanks.* Anywho, I'm simply stating that while excited for a possible adventure, worries still exist even though they may not be required.

Furthermore, I would just like to make a little disclaimer to my friends/family who read this. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT WORRY ABOUT ME. I am not an idiot. I'm not going to try to brave the oncoming wrath of Fay. I'll either be safe and sound at home or in the company of Belle and her bitches (that means at work). Thank you for caring, but I am in no mood to give the "calm down" speech. I have water, flashlights, gas in the car and good company. So, relax the crap down. End of Disclaimer.

I suppose that is all for now. I will see you on the other side of the storm. BRING IT FAY!!
