Here's a piccy of my snake, Saint :) He's an Anelanistic (red albino) Corn Snake

January 24th, 2008 (09:05 pm)

Well. I've skipped school all this week, only one class meeting for my classes, though, so I'm not worried about it. I also have work tomorrow, all day, and I'm not looking forward to it. God, I hate working there. That's why I wanted the route, so I won't have to interact much with customers. I was a day late, one day late, and someone else got it. So that's why I've been working in the office for the past seven months. I hate it, though, I really do. It's rewarding, I guess, having a job that requires that kind of trust and it is a government job, but I would quit if I could. I shouldn't have a mini anxiety attack every time I have to work. Saturday's don't bother me because we're only open an hour, but tomorrow is all day. I'll get there around 6:15 and leave around 5. I'll finally have a decent pay check, but it's not worth it. Good hour wages are nothing if you don't have any hours. I want a job that has close to zero customer interaction.

Anyway, Phury's book is coming out June 3rd, I think. And, again, I am worried about reading it. I'm not going to get excited over it. I was pleasantly surprised over V's book, so hopefully it'll happen with Phury too. I can already tell Ward is reaching that point of creating a politically false rainbow of having 60% of A, 30% of B, and 10% of C. Sounds like a freaking commercial. As if names like Wrath, Phury, Rhage, and Zsadist weren't something, now she's having a character called iAm. What.The.Hell. Fans are now pushing for the author to include their favorite minority groups and, sadly, Ward is listening to them. Readers will be able to recognize how hollow and false the characters will be, be able to recognize a forced stereotype, and will be turned away from it. I gave up my Dark Hunters, my first love, and I fear the BDB will soon be added to the list. But, like I said with V, we shall see. I haven't read the book so hopefully I will be proven wrong. Ward may be eerily reflecting Kenyon but I hope Phury's book will break the trend.

Oh, and I never mentioned it, but I got a snake. An orange/yellow corn snake. He was a little thing when I first got him and he's already a foot and a half long. They can grow up to around 4/5 feet they say. I hope he mellows out a little too. I try to hold him and he just moves everywhere. Not very docile. No aggression problems, though. David actually held him, which surprised the hell out of me. He would hold it, but my cousin, a football player over 6' tall and over 200 lbs, won't. Anyway, because corn snakes tend to have a little cross on top of their heads, I named him Saint.

Well, it's getting late so I better head to bed.

Wow, I have really fallen off the face of the Earth, haven't I? I haven't really been doing anything worth mentioning. We have the new floors in, new furniture in the room. I started school last Wednesday. Pretty much it.

I saw Sweeney Todd with David this past weekend. He wasn't really sure what to think of it but I thought it was alright. The music and songs were amazing, though. It had a great double meaning, I think. Johnny Depp, for not being a singer, wasn't bad at all. I wouldn't mind seeing it again. Give it around 7/10.

I actually had a really nice time with David. He really has grown up more being out on his own and working. He's actually willing to move with us whenever we move back to Illinois. That surprised and touched me. As long as we let him finish school first, of course, lol. He started talking about getting a place together when we do but I'm not sure. I feel as if I'm ready for it. I know I am. I wouldn't mind having my own place, but with Pop gone and mom alone... I don't know... It doesn't feel like I'm doing much here, but I feel...wrong just leaving her alone. But...if we move to Illinois she won't be alone anymore. Mama will definitely be there for her. I don't know. I have time to think about it. I'm somewhat reluctant to move from the South but Illinois has it's fair share of rednecks so I should feel right at home. Besides, economy should be before culture.

David's great. His faults have really grown on me though he still has some annoying traits.....but I know I have some too so we're good. He's living closer now so it'll be easier to see each other. This past weekend with him was nice. We had nice lazy moments and went out to lunch and a movie. It was nice. He looked good too this past weekend. I think because he wore the shirt I bought him and not those baggy T-Shirts. We actually took a really great picture together. Then again, it might be because I haven't seen him in a while.

School is...ok. I don't really know why I still try, so it's...okay. I just would be happy to get a job at a museum...even just windex-ing the windows of the miniature mummies or whatever. I'm just too much of a contented person. Unfortunately, you can't live content in the US. You have to slave just to feed yourself.

Anyway, life is treating me well. Nothing worth complaining over, anyway. Oh! Me, mom, mama, and Edessa are planning a trip to Disney World. How awesome is that? We're doing it mostly for mom because the only places she's ever been is from IL to MS and that's not fair. She's going to have a blast, I hope. We're planning it for around spring break so everyone please pray that it all works out okay.

Well, I'm off to take a shower, do some work, and head to bed.

Pictures of the livingroom! Yay! It looks great! I would NEVER have wanted anyone to sit on the old couch, but now we got two! YAY! One was given to us by my aunt, the other one we got for 20 bucks at a yard sale. They look great! YAY!!!

( Yay!! )

Wooo!!!!!!! A on Indian. Sweet. So, all A's and one B. And I am so happy for that B.

The floors and rooms are done too. All we have to do now is organize things and throw a buttload of things out. David and I exchanged gifts before he left too. He got me some books off my wishlist and I really pretty double-heart white gold necklace. Very pretty. Now that school is out I'm going to be working more. And I dread it. But for right now I'm going to enjoy being lazy, stress free, and read my book.

Later

Oh, and just because I support the Salvation Army Bell Ringers does not mean I support their excessive need for conversation when I'm in a hurry.

current mood: WOOO!!!!

The final exam in Revolutionary America that I didn't even study for? Omg, the class where I didn't read any of the books or participate in any discussion, a class I rarely studied for and BS'd two papers? I got a freaking B on my final exam...and it wasn't because it was easy. I just totally and completely lucked out. I have a freaking B for my final grade...WOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Freaking A. So, so far for my final grades... A in Statistics.... B in Rev America. I'm pretty sure I can keep my A in Philosophy. I just have one more exam Tuesday and I have an A in it now, but I'm not sure if I can keep it. Be freaking awesome if I could...YES!!!!!!!!!! That is.....awesome. WOOO!!!!! Cookie for me!!! YAY!!!!!!

93 on my Statistics exam. WOOO!!! Have an A for the semester. Woooo!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone speak Arabic? At least, I think it's Arabic. Anyway, I found this written on a hundred dollar bill at work one day.

Geeze, how embarrassing it is to hear all these Christians groups complaining, yet again, about another movie. I am so seeing The Golden Compass. It looks awesome. But groups are complaining it's anti-religious and antichurch. Well, "the church" is evil and corrupt and only breeds hate. I hope my future children grow to have their own mind, hopefully one in which Christ, not a church, is influential. First it was Harry Potter, which I hate only because of its profound ability to annoy the ever living hell out of me. Then it was that Spear movie because the actor was gay. Then The Da Vinci Code, which I simply found too boring to watch. Who knows what else there's been. How embarrassing this is as a Christian. People are too afraid that the tiniest thing, even a fictional movie, will trigger some form of independent thought. These are the same people that believe a plastic toy made in China has the power to open a portal to hell. No wonder so many people are atheist. Seriously, if your child is *that* influenced by outside forces then perhaps you simply aren't doing your job.

My Favorite Song of the Moment

November 27th, 2007 (09:47 pm)

Crimson flames tied through my years
Rollin high and mighty trapped
Countless violent flaming roads
Using ideas as my map
"We'll meet on edges soon" said I
Proud 'neath heated brow
Ah but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

Half wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate" I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Romantic flanks of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow
Ah but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
Sisters fled by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
Ah but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

Ah but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

My guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
