LOL sorry, got that stupid song stuck in my head... Okay, I know the past couple posts have been less than cheery, and since I'm feeling much better and strangely giddy, I figured I'd lighten things up. I was just in the bathroom and heard a bunch of baby frogs making a racket outside the window (so adorable, I wish I could catch one), and it reminded me of this picture of this little frog with a snail on its head. Omg it makes me wanna cry... BUT IN A GOOD WAY. It's just danged CUTE: It looks so happy! And then that reminded me of this snail picture too (which in turn reminds me of all the pet snails I used to keep):  Oh and totally unrelated to frogs and snails, I saw an awesome pirate painting posted on a friend's (Heather's) MySpace page, and there was a website URL written on the image, so I went there and found the original painting. I LOVE IT. I just can't stop staring at it out of intrigue... I may even make it my new MySpace default image. I don't think it's any pirate in particular - it has hair and beads very similar to Jack's - but then it also reminds me of Barbossa, as well as One Eyed Willie from The Goonies. That looks like the Black Pearl in the background, though... and the pirate is most obviously cursed. I suppose the artist had all of the above in mind.  |

I'm not sure of the EXACT moment it happened, the memory of that morning is all in a blur, but I know that somewhere between 3 and 5 hours from now marks the exact time Mama died in 2002. What is there to say, really? I don't know what to say, or what I want to say, but I can never ignore this date. I've been thinking of her a lot lately...and missing her very much. My heightened emotional state at the moment has made me cry over her often, or things indirectly related to her, anyway. When Dad got home earlier this evening, I asked if we were doing anything tomorrow. He answered, "As far as what?" ...um..... I'm quite sure he knows full well what tomorrow is, but he sure didn't act like it. I was testing him. Maybe he thinks I've forgotten. I then asked if we could have dinner tomorrow or something when he got home from work. He said, "What...with Darrell [he's working with him tomorrow]? Or do you mean just the two of us?". He acted so surprised that I'd even asked. *siiiiiigh* I don't get why he's playing ignorant on the matter. I understand full well that my mother is gone. And I also understand that we need to move on and live our lives. But I'm scared to death of forgetting her. I mean, it really, really scares me. Sometimes I feel like I just spoke to her yesterday, but sometimes she seems so very, very far away. And sometimes my Dad acts a bit insensitive to what I'm feeling. Maybe he can move on from something like this easier than me, and I hold on to certain things and memories and places in a different way than he does. If he doesn't understand my exact way of looking at things, that's fine. We're two different people and I can't expect him to - everybody handles things differently. But it really upsets me when he tries to change the way I feel about some things, saying there's no point in feeling this way about that, or that it's silly to feel like that about this place or thing because they're only places and things. That might be true, and maybe some of my ideas ARE silly, but like I said, we're two different people and he can't just expect me to let go and not feel a single thing and change the way I handle stuff. I know he means well and is trying to help me, I mean he's never rude about it and is very caring, but I wish he'd try to understand my view of things a bit better and not question them. I normally wouldn't be feeling this bad and can usually deal with it MUCH better, I'm really good like that, but as I mentioned in a previous post, my "monthly" is over a month late - my brain and emotions have gone whacky - and when something would normally maybe make me feel a little sorrow inside, or just irk me a tad, it's now hitting me ten times worse. Gosh I hope this ends soon - I'm to the point I'm PRAYING for the stupid period to start. Not to stray from the subject here, I apologize for that, but I'm really ticked off at my hormones and just hope this ends soon. But back to Mom, I can't really say much else. I'm not good at talking face-to-face with people about this, which is why I rarely do; I find that typing it out, reading what I wrote back to myself, and being able to sort out my feelings and see them in black and white (but still know that my friends will read it and know what I'm going through) helps me in a good way that other ways can't do as well. But that's just me and the way I'm able to handle it best. That all said, I'm now starting to feel better. For now, anyway - until the next hormonal low, LOL. I'm about to tear out my ovaries in effort to fix this...but I digress. I'll end this with one of my favorite pictures of Mom...it always makes me happy when I see it as this is how I remember her. The picture was taken in...I believe 2000 (or possibly late '99), at Grotto Falls in the mountains not far from Cherokee, NC.  |

Well howdy folks! I'm just writing a blog for the heck of it. Not sure what all it's gonna be about but I've not posted in quite a while and just feel like writing something. Things are a little crazy right now. My "monthly" is a month late (lovely ain't it!) and I'm an emotional zombie. I'm either on a high high or a low low. Just got over a low low... now I just wanna relax and vent and cheer myself up. I HAVE GOOD NEWS THOUGH. I'm finally catching up on sleep (loss of which has probably contributed to making me "late"). I got a new mattress a few days ago and it's been SO great. My old one was getting bad... I tried to save my dad money and tried to salvage it by flipping it and putting a mattress pad over the hard bottom-side, but it didn't work. Apparently they've phased out the mattresses that you can flip - they're all now one-sided pillow-tops. Great, huh? Smart on their part - it means you'll need to buy a new mattress that much sooner instead of just being able to flip it and wear out the other side. But anyway, my loss of sleep due to discomfort and stress is finally being caught up on. It's such a relief... I was barely getting more than four hours of sleep a night for quite a long while there. Now with this thing, I could probably sleep 48 hours straight LOL. ~*~ I'm redesigning a few of my pirate sites... as well as considering building a new one (but I'm not going to spill the beans on that just yet). Most of you know that Moonfruit has changed their sitemaker and made their old one (the one I run all my sites on) obsolete (any sites built on the old sitemaker still run on it, but you can't build a new one with it). I've tried the new Sitemaker 4 and don't like it. Not that it's bad, but I'm familiar with the old one, like the uniqueness of the template much better, and don't feel like having to learn the ENTIRE THING all over again. It took me long enough to learn Sitemaker 3. Well to get to the point, I've found that I have a blank test site I'd made a long time ago just sitting there... and it's still on Sitemaker 3!!! I already know what I'd like to do with it, but I'm waiting to hear back from Moonfruit. I'm hoping they can change the URL to what I want it to be (instead of the URL I originally made it for the test site). I've yet to hear from them, but I'm very hopeful! I only just discovered it was there as of last night, and was about jumping for joy. Please don't visit the pirate sites for a while... not that you'll see much anyway, but I still don't want to spoil anything. Especially Jack's site. I've redone most of it but still have a few pages to go. I'm really excited... the trailer for POTC: AWE really inspired me - I can not WAIT for the movie. I'm also in love with Jack again, thanks to many new pictures and lots of great fanfiction... heh. I might've already mentioned that in a previous post, but oh well. I even redid a few things in my room. I'd had a lot of framed pictures from Band of Brothers on my walls, and not that I didn't LOVE those pictures, I just really needed a change. They'd been there for over two years. I kept up all the signed ones from veterans and a few actors on their side of the room, but I took down the ones that I'd printed. I just needed something different, and did as much as I could without removing anything or changing too much stuff around (all I did was switch out pictures and kept the frames where they were). All-in-all, I replaced 9 pictures with ones of Jack, and moved a couple other ones elsewhere. So things are looking fresh and I'm feeling better about it. Plus I have new material to gawk at before I go to bed..... A little more news on websites - I'm about to add a new page on D&D, solely for The Face. What is The Face, you ask? Surely you must know this face that Prancing Patrick makes. It's his signature thing. I always take at least one picture of him doing it on just about every vacation we go on, and there's so many of them now that they might as well have their own place on the site. I'm also going to redo his main page a little bit, add some more nicknames, some more stories...that kinda thing. ~*~ I took an IQ test online today, and I'm not sure how accurate it is or how much of it was due to the pure chance of me taking a right guess on some of the mathematical questions, but I astonished myself with a score of 142. Of course I'm not complaining!! But...dang, how'd I do that?? I think I'd usually gotten about 129+ on the other ones I'd taken. But the last time I'd taken one was probably one or maybe two years ago. Maybe my brain has advanced since then or something... I certainly don't FEEL that intelligent, LOL! I took the test here. You have to sign up on the site so that your test results are emailed to you, but they haven't sent me any annoying emails or spam whatsoever, so you don't have to worry about that if you're apprehensive of taking it. ~*~ Some more good news on something I found last night. Heh, heh, heh... Do you remember the retarded Nasonex bee? I know you do. And you either hate it, love to hate it, or love it simply because it's so retarded. I'm the latter. LOL. I just love that stupid thing. And I'm talking about the original one - the one with the huge, emotional blue eyes, teeth, Antonio Banderas' voice, and EYEBROWS. They've since changed the bee to one that's more smooth and "normal" looking (Mr. Hot-Shot Replacement Bee), and I loathe them for it. I even wrote to the company, and a very nice woman responded to me, thanked me for my opinion, and even mailed me a pad of paper with the old bee on it, as well as a little plush bee finger puppet. Ha!! I even quote the stupid bee all the time when I'm talking on YahooIM, especially when it's Nancy or Heather. If I'm gone for a while, I come back and say, "I have returned, my flower.....a changed bee." I'm retarded, I know. Anyway, I had been searching online for a video of the old commercial for a very long time. And last night, I FINALLY FOUND IT!!! GOD BE PRAISED!!! AMEN, SISTAHS!!! And the Lord did grin, and... nevermind. But yes, I found it. I saved it from the site it was on and uploaded it to YouTube. And so, I give you, the original Nasonex Bee. Watch how DORKY he is. .............well, I just kept trying to paste the video code in here, but for some reason it's not showing up. I'm probably doing something wrong. Oh well, here's the link to watch it then. ~*~ That's all for now. I'll post about any website updates as they come. The next post will likely be about The Face's page - it might even be tonight. Oh and, I'm on a higher high once again :D  |

I was on Google this morning searching for pictures of Owen Wilson that I might not've had - you see, I needed new material, heh. So I did an image search for his name and set the results to show only large pictures (I have a problem doing that. I'm sure I skip a lot of great pictures by doing so, but I don't LIKE little pictures. Give me something to work with!). I had his name in quotes and everything. But do I get photos of Owen Wilson? .....well, maybe two or three (stuff I already had). The rest was all this random CRAP. So I started going from page to page, sifting through all the results, hoping I'd find something. ANYTHING. I then started to laugh, because what the heck?? Here are some of the results for a GIS of "owen wilson": Now THIS.....this caught my attention. A painting of a large, posh-looking and turned-up-nosed hog...with a ship built into its back. Wow, I mean... are there even words in the English language that can possibly react properly to something like this?!  This...is Crimson Chin. I've no idea who he is, but I do know that he has a very heroic-looking chin and sort of reminds me of Mr. Incredible which in turn reminds me of my Dad............let's not go any farther with this.  Wow, lookit this one!!! It's like a bronz Buddha statue or something with erect nipples and arms held high as if he's being robbed! REACH FOR THE SKY, BUDDHA!! I also notice that his "hands" look like upside-down high-heeled shoes... His face reminds me of something... like some Disney/Pixar animated bug, but my mind is blank and I can't remember which one, exactly.  I think this one speaks for itself. A secret Welsh art of self-defence that requires NO intelligence, strength, or physical courage!!! WTF?!?!! Maybe JoZ knows about this one... JOZ!!! IS THIS WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING WHEN YOU CLAIM TO BE TAKING DANCE LESSONS WITH 'DBI'?? There must be a catch...it requires no intelligence whatsoever... I really dig the illustration of the "master". He's like wearing a laced up loincloth with knee-high socks and a pilgrim hat. Oh yes, I'm sure he fears NO man.  My, oh, my. Them's some big tomaters. You just can't help but wonder why a photograph of tomatoes would come up in a search for Owen.  Apparently this is a group called "The Four Freshman". I wonder if they play freeform jazz. Ayn, are you interested? ....Heh.  My gosh. I don't know who this man is, but I'm led to believe that his name is Gill. He has....um....lovely teeth. Yeah... Any takers?? Natsy, this looks like the right one for you. Just look at the--....and thos-....hmm... Well heck, his eyes are nice anyway.  AWWWW, a cute lil ol' T-Rex with a big head and little arms! I want one for the front yard.  Don't mind me, I'm just in a goofy mood. Normally most of this wouldn't have gotten a second glance from me, but I've been awake for like 18 hours and every slight thing seems absolutely hysterical to me right now. Oh, I seem to have forgotten that this post was originally about Owen!! Right-o, then. Well I must say I DID find a couple cute new pictures of him, but nothing that exciting. But I still feel he needs to be included in this, so here's my current favorite picture of him (from Starsky & Hutch):  Ah, I believe that's the end of this insanity. Have a fine day, me ol' chaps!!! |
