Writer's Block: Ewww [15 Aug 2007|07:49pm]
[ mood | blah ]
[ music | radio at work ]

I haven't updated in a million, billion years over here. And I will probably go at least another million and half before I do so again. But I logged in to check on some of my friend's journals and saw this neat little question that is supposed to get you unstuck if you have writer's block. I don't have writer's block, really. I just spend way more time over at greatestjournal. But I figured I would answer anyway so LJ can stop harassing me every time I log in with the fact that I never update. So, here goes...

What is one food that you refuse to try? Why?

I cannot, will not, absolutely refuse to try crawfish. I'm sorry, I simply cannot condone it. They have eyes and feelers and little legs and there is no way for you to tear them off. You have to eat the whole. Whole. Do you hear me? Brains, eyes, everything. Whole. Crawfish could be the bestest most wonderful food ever invented and I would not know because they are never, ever going into my mouth. No. Yuck. Never.

In other news, check out my GJ (I'm fillemagique over there) if you want any more news.

Thank you and good night.

My dad passed away just after 8:00 last night. I know that may come as a shock to many of you since I don't update over here. He had been in the hospital since Wednesday with a blood clot in his leg and several in his lungs. He seemed to be doing much better when I went up to see him this morning. We joked and laughed and he said he would be home in time to see the first University of Michigan football game. But tonight one of the clots in his lungs moved to his heart...and there was nothing the doctors could do.

Umm...yeah. I guess that's it. I'm still too numb to know what else to say.


RIP

[ music | "It's Gonna Be Me" -- NSYNC ]

So Lance Bass came out to the public yesterday. *dances for joy*

I know, I know...it's an odd reason for me to come back here and post. But any friends I have/had that like/liked NSYNC are friended on this journal, not over on my GJ. Anyway, yes, I am muchly happy and muchly proud of Lance for finally saying it. Even in the midst of my biggest NSYNC fangirl days, I always thought he was gay. I was never one of those fans in denial and I most certainly one of those fans who got angry and screamed and fought when someone said that ANY of them were gay. Well, hello duh, that's probably pretty obvious thanks to all the slashy fanfic I wrote. *laughs*

Seriously, though, this has brought NSYNC back to the forefront of my mind and caused me to download every song they ever put out EVER from BearShare. I am now having an NSYNC listening party of my very own. It's definitely for the best that Eva is at work. I think she would slit her wrists if she was here and had to hear this.

All of this has also got me wondering about my old NSYNC fanfic friends. Gina, Cassie, Becky...all of the originals. I wonder how they're taking the news. I wonder if they're even paying attention. I wonder if they even care anymore. And of course it makes me think of Stace and Hoss and Spe and Heather and Steph. Especially Spe and Heather. Man, it seems like it's been forever but at the same time it feels like just yesterday. Those were the days. The BEST days. I miss them. A lot.

Now, if only JC would come out my world would be complete.

...I have issues...

I am only posting here because I think Kat and Kate might see it and they are the only two people who will get why I am LOSING MY MIND over this.

"Baywatch" actress Donna D'Errico has filed for divorce from her husband of nine years, Motley Crue bass player Nikki Sixx.

D'Errico cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split, according to court documents filed Friday in Superior Court.

She is seeking physical custody and joint legal custody of the couple's five-year-old daughter, Frankie-Jean, and her 13-year-old son, Rhyan, from a previous relationship. D'Errico also is seeking spousal support.

Sixx would get visitation rights with the children.


AHHHHH!! My world may, in fact, be ending. If Donna and Nikki can't make it, NO ONE CAN!

[ music | Charlie on Monday Night Mayhem ]

I'm still alive. And here is what I've been thinking about most lately:

I love how I get to see and hear more from Charlie now than I did when he was with WWE. Just goes to show how much the company was holding him back. I've listened to every interview. Twice. And ROWR he looked amazing on The 70's House last night. When he pounded that girl right in the face during dodgeball I marked out. It was beautiful. I love him. More so now that he's getting the chance to speak his mind because everything he's saying about Creative is what I myself have been thinking for the longest time. People always bitched at me for being so critical of the WWE. It's rather nice to see that the actual TALENT agrees with me. I sincerely hope TNA gets everything finalized with Spike TV so I will be able to see all these people again. The thought alone of AJ Styles vs. Charlie Haas makes me squee. I NEED to see a match like that. For real.

Right now, it looks as though Jackie and Charlie will be going over to Italy for a bit. That SUCKS for gaming purposes, but IRL...good for them. I'm GLAD Jackie isn't giving up yet. With the training she received on TE2, she definitely has the potential to be a good womens wrestler.

...I'm sorry, but hearing Charlie talk about Shelton, those two were SO in love. Guh. And he has such love for Rico. Beautiful.

Step 1: Get your playlist together, put it on random, and play
Step 2: Pick your favorite lines from the first 25 songs that play
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly

1. You bleed just to know you're alive
2. A beautiful face without a name for so long a beautiful smile to hide the pain
3. In your house I long to be room by room patiently I'll wait for you there
4. I can't go on as long as I believe, I can't let go when I keep wondering
5. Like a madman laughing at the rain, a little out of touch a little insane, it's just easier than dealing with the pain
6. They said "Someday you'll find, all who love are blind"
7. This is not about trying to go back in time, this is not about where I'll be a year down the line, it's just moment to moment surviving somehow
8. I sold my soul, you bought it back for me
9. If you get there before I do, don't give up on me, I'll meet you when my chores are through, I don't know how long I'll be
10. Isn't anyone trying to find me? Won't somebody come take me home
11. Me with my map to the treasure, you'd rather give it away. Wish we'd held back on yesterday, where did all the time go?
12. He's two and she's four and you know they adore you, so how can I tell them you've changed your mind?
13. And so I wake in the morning and I step outside and I take a deep breath and I get real high
14. I don't expect my love affairs to last for long never fooled myself that my dreams will come true
15. You better hope and pray that you make it safe back to your own world you'd better hope and pray that you wake one day in your own world, cuz when you sleep at night they don't hear your cries in your own world, only time will tell if you can break the spell back in your own world
16. But somehow she got a postcard in the mail that just said "Heaven" with a picture of the ocean and the beach
17. I am covered in skin, no one gets to come in
18. Give me a whisper and give me a sigh, give me a kiss before you tell me goodbye
19. I know it's hard to keep an open heart when even friends seem out to harm you
20. Crumpled bits of paper filled with imperfect thought, stilted conversations...I'm afraid that's all we've got
21. Tell me who wants to look back on their youth and wonder where those years have gone
22. I'm trying not to move, it's just your ghost passing through
23. (OH MY GOD! I can GUARANTEE that no one will know this except [info]sugarpuss, and possibly not even her antmore.) Remind me later, please remind me later, reality's too much to bear
24. Aspirations in the clouds but your hopes go down the drain
25. I'll never find another girl like you, for happy endings it takes two, with fire and ice a dream won't come true

Not okay. Really, seriously, not okay.

They had a full military funeral for Kim. Part of her unit flew back with her body from Germany and they were there. They had the gun salute. They played "Taps". They presented flags to her mom and dad.

The funeral procession was so long. My Kimmy finally got that big parade in her honor. And did she ever deserve it. I saw so many people from high school...all of us in tears. I don't know that she ever realized how many people she touched. How many people loved her. But they did. I, for one, always will.

It WAS an accident that took her life. That makes it a little easier, I suppose. And I don't even want these tears to stop. Because crying is the least I can do for a woman as courageous and beautiful as Kim.

Hey, look. I'm posting. Nobody die from shock or anything, okay? I'd feel like shit if you did.

Anyway...I just realized that I never posted over here the fact that I'm moving. That's right, the weekend of June 10th, 11th, and 12th I'm moving out of my mom's house and into an apartment on the other side of Lansing. I'm excited. A little scared. Sad. Just this huge mix of emotions, you know? And I still haven't started packing because I'm a slacker. I really need to get on that.

I was just looking over my old LJ entries and found the post I wrote the day that Mike moved away. And it shocked the hell out of me because I realized that the day he moved away, is the exact same day I will be moving into my apartment. I don't know if I have the words to accurately describe how that makes me feel. A lot has changed in the year that he has been gone. But some things have stayed the same. Most prominently, my feelings for him. I mean, sure, I go about my daily life and I'm fine and I don't think about him much. But then a certain song will come on or I'll see something about Jeff Hardy or he'll call or e-mail and I'm right back where I started. Every time he's been back in town to visit, things have been between us exactly as they always were. I never imagined that would happen. Ever. I'm glad that he's kept in touch. I'm thrilled that we are still friends. But I do wish I had the strength to get over him.

And...yeah...still boggled over the irony of the move date. It's just...symbolic, I guess. I don't know.

Hey all! I've decided that I AM going to stay at LiveJournal, but I'm NOT going to reup my paid account or extra icons. It just seemed silly to do so since I'm not around all that much over here now that my RPGs have all moved to GreatestJournal.

Anyway, the whole point of this entry is to say that I know many of you on my friends list have journals over at GJ but I don't know what they are. I'd like to add those of you who are over there to my friends list for that journal. So, if you could reply to this entry and let me know what your GJ name is, I'd really appreciate it. I'm fillemagique over there. No big surprise, right? ;-)

It's been a while since my last update so I should probably attempt one, huh?

I think my paid account runs out in, like, seven days or something. I haven't decided yet if I feel like spending the money to reup it. I don't post here as much as I used to. And really, the only reason I ever bought a paid account was so I could have a ton of icons. Which is still cool and all...but now that I RP over at GreatestJournal, I'm used to having an UNLIMITED amount of icons for FREE. So, yeah, not real sure what I'm gonna do. I've thought about just moving my journal to GreatestJournal...but I don't know. Some of you I ONLY have contact with through LJ and I don't want to lose that. Maybe I'll just let my account go back to free and suck it up and only have three icons. We'll see.

I was sick as a dog all last week. I'm only just now starting to feel completely human. I still have a nasty cough, though. Maybe I should stop smoking again. Don't know why I ever started up again in the first place. It's just a stress reliever, really. Working at Kroger you need SOMETHING to chill out with when you leave the store. Drinking is too expensive and I can't get pot now that Mike isn't around. Well, I mean, I COULD...but I don't really know anyone well enough to call them up and ask for some. So, yeah, cigarettes it is. Still, I should stop. I don't even really like it. And I'm baffled by the fact that when I started smoking with Kat I was smoking Marlboro Reds. Marlboro Ultra Lights are it for me now. Which, when you think about it, is kinda like smoking air. But whatever.

I'm witholding most comments on how I feel about wrestling at the moment. I can bitch and scream and rant all I want. But in the end, I have two options. Get pissed, stop watching, and no longer support WWE. Or get pissed, get over it, and realize that I still enjoy wrestling even if I do think Vince McMahon is senile and HHH and Stephanie are the downfall of the company. Obviously, I'm going with choice number two. I watch the portions of the show that I want to see. The portions I don't want to see, I leave the room for. Such is life when you're a wrestling fangirl like I have become.

On the subject of wrestling, I purchased two DVDs and they came in the mail yesterday. The Viva Las Divas DVD isn't bad. It absolutely cracks me up to see Dawn and Jackie walking around arm and arm being all friendly. I realize they were simply in a storyline when it comes to hating each other. But in my RPG, they cannot be in the same room without a catfight starting. So. Yes. My Charlie-critter damn near fell out of his chair when he saw them together on screen. It was quite amusing. At least in my head. It was hard for me to watch Lita's spots in the DVD. As much as I have always been a fan...I think it's starting to fade. And it makes me sad to say that. But knowing that while she was in Mexico being all cute, Matt was at home waiting for her and she was fucking Edge when they were on the road...it's just finally gotten to me, I guess. I'm not going to call her names and be a hater. I'm not going to do that to Edge, either. But fakeness is something I don't deal well with. And the affair that they had going on, for the length of time that they had it going on, shows a lot of fakeness on the part of both Adam and Amy. But wait...didn't I say I wasn't going to comment on the state of wrestling and this whole situation? Yeah. I did. Moving on.

The other DVD I got was Rey Mysterio 619. I know it's a couple years old and I'm way late on finally getting it. But I've been looking for it at Best Buy for AGES and it was never in stock. So I finally just ordered it off bestbuy.com. I. LOVE. THIS. DVD. Seriously, I shrieked like a little girl during 75% of it. And then I walked around my house, getting ready for work, saying out loud, "I love him. Oh my god, I love him. I cannot believe it. I love him." Okay, logically speaking, I do NOT love him. I don't KNOW him. But ROWR...I love him. Heh. I cannot remember the last time a wrestler did THIS to me. Shane doesn't do it. Charlie doesn't do it...though he comes close. Shelton doesn't do it. Shawn doesn't do it. I guess the last time my fangirl tendencies were this bad was when I discovered the enigma that is Jeff Hardy. And I now have his logo tattooed on my back...so we all know where THAT went. I don't think I'll be getting a 619 tattoo anytime soon. But DAYUM. I love Rey Mysterio. And that's enough of that. Reading this makes me want to slap myself.

I've just wasted a good twenty minutes by typing all of this up while I should have been working. Go me. I should get back to work.

For any of my friends who make icons...I am DYING for icons of Dawn Marie and Jackie from the Viva Las Divas shoot. Please and thank you in advance if anyone can make me some!

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?!?!

Okay, so WWE released Rhyno. I'm not a fan, but I think the reasoning behind it sucked ass. So boo.

But jesus FUCKING christ!! MATT HARDY?! What the fuck did he DO besides be hurt by the fact that his girlfriend cheated on him with one of his good friends? Yeah. Okay. Maybe he shouldn't have made it public like he did. But does that mean he should get FIRED?! Edge cheated on his wife with Lita. Lita cheated on Matt with Edge. I'm still trying to figure out how Matt is the bad guy in this whole fucked up picture.

I am livid. I can't even tell you. This is the most upset I have been about any WWE release in AGES.

All I can even say right now is TNA better pick up Matt so he and Jeff can work together again. That is the ONLY way there will ever be a bright side to this story.

God DAMN this makes me not like Lita. And I have liked her forever.

WHY is it not time for Wrestlemania yet? I am SO damn excited about this. I just want it to start already.

Granted, I doubt it will be as cool as last year. But that's just because last year Fred, Mike, and Jake came over and got incredibly stoned with me and...wow...yeah...that was a GREAT time. I will still never forget Mike getting so caught up in Motorhead and the Evolution theme that he failed to notice my cat sitting right behind him and proceeded to scream like a little girl thinking she was going to attack him. Of course, my car was just as stoned as all of us...so no attacking would have occurred. She just sat there and looked at him like, "Dude...chill..."

And when Undertaker came back last year and the FIRST THING out of Mike's mouth was, "That's not The Deadman! That's Taker Texas Ranger!" Hell yeah, I don't care how many communities I saw that joke in the day after 'Mania. Mike said it first.

Awww...I'm all nostalgic now. And SUPER sad that I don't get to be stoned tonight since I'm watching the PPV with my dad. Maybe I'll sneak a few pills or something...

I am sick. There is no denying it. This sucks.

I went down to Detroit yesterday to hang out with [info]rusterson and I felt fine. Then on my way home I started feeling kind of yucky. You know how it is. My throat started to hurt. My nose was a little stuffy. But nothing I didn't think I could handle. Then I was up until almost two in the morning with my RPG and trying to figure out some major plot points for what my critters are doing and all of a sudden I was like, "Oy shit. I feel like crap." So, I drank about half a bottle of cough syrup and passed out.

Needless to say, I didn't feel any better this morning. I slept in until 10:30 when I had to leave for work at 11:30. And now I'm here. Carrie, the other manager, is on vacation next week so I will BE here for the next nine days or something crazy like that. I can't be sick. Well, I mean, I can. But I'll have to be sick while I'm here because I can't call in when I'm the only management person on duty.

I just drank WAY MORE than the suggested dose of cough syrup. This should be fun. I wish I could just pass out.

As for my trip yesterday, I had a good time. Hung out with Stace and Doug and Spe and Garrett and Michelle and Heather and Angie. It's been WAY too long since I've seen some of those people. Stace made the comment when I was getting ready to go that she loved the fact that, no matter how long we go between hanging out, we never seem to miss a beat when we do finally see each other. I told her it's because we're so awesome. And we are. Trust me. We rock.

While I was down there we went into Best Buy. This is never a good thing when I have money. Because, inevitably, I will walk out with considerably less money. And I did. I bought five CDs. Alanis Morrisette's latest, Kenny Chesney's latest, Tori Amos' latest (I am WAY late on this. I LOVE it!!), Fozzy's latest, and Miranda Lambert's debut album. On a completely random note, I adore Miranda Lambert's song "Me & Charlie Talking". For, like, the stupidest reasons ever. But I hear it and I think of Charlie Haas and I get all squee and I really seriously need to get a life like NOW!

I was gonna buy the Royal Rumble DVD just because I want to see Charlie and Shelton in the ring again together. But I put it down and ended up buying the new WWE book "Are We There Yet?" instead. I think it was a good trade off. This book is freaking hillarious. And I adore how all of The Hurricane's stories seems to start with, "So, I was really drunk and..." I love him. I really do. Even if Charlie Haas has tried to take over the number one spot in my heart. My Shane is still the greatest.

Hmm...can we say disjointed? Weee...cough syrup!

Tonight is the WWE Hall Of Fame induction and tomorrow is Wrestlemania. I'm going to my dad's apartment to watch Mania even if he is a schmuck. For anyone who cares, my predictions are as follows...

Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels: Shawn Michaels

Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio: Either Eddie turns heel and demolishes Rey, or Rey wins and Eddie turns heel after and demolishes Rey.

Six Man Ladder Match: Edge. It won't be Shelton because he still has the IC belt. It won't be Benoit because he doesn't need the title again. It won't be Kane because that just doesn't make sense. It SHOULD be Christian or Jericho. Especially Jericho since they've turned him into a mid-carder and that's bullshit. But, yeah, it'll be Edge. They've been setting it up for a while that he's gonna get a shot at the championship belt. I don't know if I think he should be champ, but it'd be nice to see him get a legitimate try.

Undertaker vs. Randy Orton: I thought maybe, with all the rumblings of Taker retiring, he'd put Randy over. But after the way he DID put Randy over on Smackdown this week, I say Randy doesn't have a chance in hell. The WWE will continue Taker's undefeated Mania streak. As they should. Old or not, the man is a legend and I love him. Plus, they've pulled Randy from the Australia tour after Mania to help heal his shoulder, so I'm sure they'll have Taker destroy him and then sell that he's injured so he can be off the road.

Trish Stratus vs. Christy Hemme: Christy Hemme. And trust me, it makes me want to vomit even typing that. Christy has NO PLACE being Women's Champion. But Trish is injured. And they've taken her off the Australia tour as well. So I figure they'll give the belt to Christy by default. Hopefully Trish can make her look at least halfway decent in the ring. Even better would be Lita returning to action and getting the belt from Christy just a week after she wins it. I do NOT want Christy Hemme to be representing what womens wrestling should be. That's just bullshit.

JBL vs. John Cena: John Cena. For one, it's time they take that damn belt off JBL. And besides, they wouldn't have taken the US Title away from Cena if they weren't gonna make him champ.

HHH vs. Batista: My gut says someone might ACTUALLY wise up and realize that people are sick of seeing HHH with that damn belt. I think it's Batista's time. I HOPE it's Batista's time. If HHH retains the title, any dignity the WWE has left will be gone. I know he's amazing. I respect the man. But dammit, that belt means nothing when it's on him year after year after year.

This just got really, really long. And I still don't feel good. I should get back to work. Or drink more hot tea. Or something.

Oh...one more thing...I just saw someone on my friends list with an icon that was a picture of Edge and Lita with something about true love written on it. That makes me want to puke. For real.

Edit: In my Mania predictions I forgot about Big Show vs. Akebono. Surprise, surprise. That's because this match is gonna SUCK. A LOT. But Show will win because there is no reason for him not to.

I just had the BEST CONVERSATION EVER with Mike. I guess he called and talked to my mom for a good fifteen minutes before he got my number here at work. He was so stoned it was ridiculous. But he was funny. And he was cute. And times like these make me SO HAPPY that we stayed friends.

I wish he didn't live so far away. I adore him.

That was SO the HIGHlight of my day.

Happy Easter, everyone.

I'm at work. I've been here sine 8am. I got payroll done in about 15 minutes and now I, literally, have nothing to do. I left for a minute to grab a Sausage Egg McMuffin meal from McDonalds. But now I'm back and just sitting here. There is no one in the store. This is going to be the longest day EVER.

Today is Charlie Haas' 33rd birthday. So, happy birthday to him and all that. I'm really only excited because it means when I get home I'll get to find out what my critter got from his beautiful wife, Dawn Marie. Heh. Yes. RPG whore. Right here folks. There is no doubt about it.

The freaking firewall here at work blocks me from getting to GreatestJournal. This pisses me off because all of my RPGs are over there now. At least when I was still a part of It's Scripted, I could play at work. I don't understand why the company would block GJ but not LJ. It doesn't make any sense to me.

I spoke with [info]glammetalkitten yesterday for about an hour. She was amused by getting to hear me sound like the boss when a couple employees came into my office. It still blows my mind that I'm actually in management. I never expected this to be my life.

My McMuffin and hashbrown are gone. This makes me sad. I want another one. But I'll just drink my coffee and be content.

I think I might name my truck Morgaine. And I'm pretty sure no one but [info]sugarpuss will understand why. But shit, that's a damn cool name. And as long as my truck doesn't become possessed by dead children and a psycho nazi doctor, it'll be all good. Although, if a bunch of dead rockstars want to take it over, I think I'll be okay with that. Heaven does look a lot like The Rainbow, after all.

Oh yeah, randomness at it's finest.

My damn critters won't shut up in my head. Especially Jackie. She's been SO LOUD lately. And she's all emo and shit. I hate her. Bitch, if you're gonna sleep with half the roster, don't cry to me when your husband-to-be walks out.

I'm not making any sense to anyone, am I? This is what happens when I'm at work with nothing to do.

And why does my mood theme show a cat crying when I pick bored? I'm not bored to tears. I'm just bored. Shouldn't they show a cat, like, sleeping or something? Just a thought.

[ music | in-store radio...I really don't know ANY of this music ]

We are WAY too busy for me to be sitting in my office and playing on the computer. But damn, I'm tired. We over 20 thousand dollars of business in just under two hours. That's insane. We budgeted $85,000 for the day. And at last check about 20 minutes ago we were already at $67,000. Working retail on a Holiday Weekend is insane. End of story.

I got a check in the mail for just shy of $800. It was the life insurance policy my grandma took out and put in my name. My mom said it was worth a couple hundred dollars or so. Needless to say, when I saw how much it was actually for, I freaked out. After I cried, that is. Don't get me wrong, the money is MUCH needed and pretty much already spent between apartment searching and bill paying and all that. But still, I'd rather not have the money at all and get my grandma back instead. I suppose most people would probably feel that way, though. Money is a small comfort when someone you love is gone.

My new truck will be here tomorrow. YAY for that. It's a 2005 Cherry Red Chevy Colorado. I love it. Absolutely love it. I can't wait to hook it up with my Dale Jr. stuff. It's gonna look so kick ass. And within a few days I should be getting the check from the insurance company for the money left over from totaling my other truck and paying off that loan. Another $1800 coming my way. Maybe I really CAN move out now. And pay my mom back all the money I owe her. It'd be nice to get that all squared away so it didn't always feel like it was hanging over my head. I gotta figure out what I want to name my new truck. My Sonoma was the Hurri-Truck. But that was only because it was lemon yellow and it's an inside joke that only makes sense to hardcore Hurricane fans or people who have been subjected to hardcore Hurricane fans talking about him too much. There is still a lemon conspiracy! I am convinced!! Anyway...yeah...so I need a name for the truck. Any ideas?

Today is Good Friday which always puts me in a rather somber mood. I cried on the way to work today. I had randomly decided to pull out my VERY VERY VERY old Newsboys CD and one of the songs on there just really hit home. It was what I needed to hear at exactly the right time. I hang on to things longer than I should. I let my anger get to me. I let depression creep in. And then I wonder why the smallest little thing pisses me off. Maybe I'm not the good little Christian girl that some people believe I have to be to get a spot in heaven. But I know what I believe and I know what is in my heart. And, more than that, I know that the message I needed to hear today was received loud and clear. My belief is, when God speaks...in whatever form or method God chooses...I'm gonna listen. And that voice was unmistakeable today.

Will you forgive, will you forget?
Will you live what you know?
He left His rights, will you leave yours?
You won't understand it, let it go

Will you forgive, will you forget?
Will you live what you know?
Beneath the cross you hear His words...
"Father forgive them", and you know
You can't understand it, let it go

[ mood | nostalgic ]
[ music | in-store radio again ]

I just read an entry on my friends page talking about how today was the five year anniversary of when NSA was released. For those of you not aware, NSA is No Strings Attached. NSYNC's first album with Jive Records. The one that set them apart with songs like "Bye, Bye, Bye" and "It's Gonna Be Me" and "This I Promise You".

I have to admit, I didn't know what today was. Probably because I haven't actively thought about NSYNC in a long time. Sure, I still randomly try to find out what JC Chasez is up to...or what he's done with his hair this month...but I'm not what you would consider a member of that fandom anymore. But man...did I ever used to be. My life revolved around the actions of those five guys. NSYNC parties, summer road trips, PPV get togethers. Fan fiction, internet friendships, girlfriend hating. I did it all. And I had the pleasure of doing it with five of the most wonderful people I have ever met. Steph, Stace, Hoss, Spe, and Heather. The six of us have grown and changed in the five years since NSA was released. Some of us are still close. Some of us aren't. But we will always have the memories. And sometimes I think that means more than anything else.

It's funny, I remember the first time I heard "Bye, Bye, Bye" before the album was released. NSYNC performed on the...hmm...I want to say it was the Billboard Music Awards...or maybe the Radio Music Awards...something like that. But they came out in matching black jeans and matching shirts each of a different color and it was one of the first times that Justin WASN'T the one in baby blue. He was wearing gold. And half the free world had a coronary over it. I loved the song. I cried, actually.

I cried when they sang "This I Promise You" for the first time, as well. I'd heard bits of the song before, but the first time they ever sang the full song with JC's bridge was on MTV when they were at Big Bear in California and all those girls were trying to win a date with NSYNC. I was singing along at the top of my lungs and the bridge hit and I just...stopped. My mouth dropped open. And I sobbed. My friend Teresa cried too. And she didn't even like JC.

I have a lot of memories attached to the NSA album. I can't help but think of Gina and her whole NSAHDMDTO... "No strings attached, handcuffs a definite maybe, dessert topping optional". Cassie and Becky and Kira and Danielle. "Unforgettable", "Life With Bobbie", "Twisted Fate" and every other fanfic I ever wrote. It's insane to even think about it now. I was a fan of NSYNC long before NSA came out. But I think NSA was what put everything so over the top. It solidified things. It answered the question of whether or not NSYNC would survive the break from TransCon.

I'm rambling and I realize it but I can't help it when it comes to things like this. There's just so much in my head that comes back to being associated with NSYNC. Some good, some bad...but all a part of my past. I can't believe it's been five years, frankly. I can't believe the way MY LIFE has changed in those five years. I can't believe a lot of things.

I think maybe I'll listen to NSA on the 30 minute drive home from work today.

...if I even still have it in my CD holder.

Finally...an actual update.

Up until today, I was seriously considering never driving again. Within a four day period I got a speeding ticket while driving my MOTHER'S car, found out that they were going to total my beloved Hurri-Truck, AND got a flat tire on my MOTHER'S car. Christ almighty. The whole driving experience has sucked stupendously the last week or so.

BUT...

Today I found out that my ticket is not nearly as expensive as I thought it was going to be. And I called the insurance company, who told me that they would be sending the credit union a check to pay off the loan on my truck. Not only will the amount they are sending pay off the truck, it will be over that amount by close to $1,800. This means I can get a nice down payment on a NEW vehicle AND still have some money left over to get back into serious apartment searching. PLUS, I'll be getting my bonus check from the company this Friday. So, perhaps things are starting to work themselves out. I hope. *knocks on wood*

My RPG world went to hell and back. It wasn't even funny how truly fucked up it got. But that has all been rectified and my critters have been moved to a new game with their storylines intact and all is well with that again. Thank goodness. Because as truly lame as I know it is, RPing is something that makes me happy. It takes my mind off all of the other bullshit that's constantly going on in my life.

[info]divalita, I would've sent ya an e-mail back but I'm at work and e-mail is funky. Just wanted to say thanks for the icons you sent. I love them. You know I think you rock! ;-)

Family issues abound as always. My aunt my have breast cancer. Yes, this is my aunt whose husband died in November and whose mother died in January and I swear to everything holy that the black cloud over my family is just not stopping. We don't know for sure and no one is jumping to conclusions, but man, if she does have cancer I just don't know what I'll do at all. I'm really, really tired of every family phone call being laden with bad news. I'm sure she'll be moving back from Georgia now to be close to her daughter and my mom. My mom is...indifferent. Of course she doesn't want her sister to have cancer, but she also doesn't want to be the one to take care of her if she does. She took care of my grandpa. She took care of my grandma. It's time for my mom to start taking care of herself.

And the store is getting slammed so I should get off this thing.

[ music | "Everything Louder Than Everything Else" -- Meatloaf ]

Yeah...didn't go to see Amy today. Not having my truck, I didn't want to drive my friend's car all the way to Detroit. Just out of courtesy, you know? She loaned me the car to drive back and forth to work. I'm not trying to put an extra 200 miles on it. I thought I'd be able to take my mom's car, but her and my dad aren't back from Arkansas yet. And my dad didn't want me to drive his because the left turn signal is broken. So. Yeah. Didn't go.

But I still got a lecture over the phone from my dad about how it was time for me to start thinking about other things than just what make me happy. And that I hurt my mom by sounding upset about not having a car to drive down there. And that I owed her an apology. What-the FUCK-ever. My mom and dad can start dating again. They can do whatever the hell it is they're doing together. But he is NOT an authority figure in my life. I'm twenty-fucking-four years old. Don't fucking reprimand me about wanting to do something that I enjoy. Especially when you're the asshole who walked away from this family almost six years ago because you just didn't want to be married and have a family anymore. And it pisses me off even more because I KNOW those words were my mom's, not his. That's how it always used to be when I was younger. My mom would get angry and she would send my dad upstairs to talk to me, equipped with the exact words that she wanted him to say. I knew it then and I know it now. It's not exactly a great way to try and discipline a person. But whatever. I don't need disciplining. I'm an adult. And I'll be damned if I'm gonna feel guilty about being upset over not getting to meet someone that I have looked up to for the better part of a decade.

I'm heading over to my sister's apartment right now. We're gonna watch the Busch race and I'm gonna finally scan the pictures I've been meaning to scan for ages. So, [info]kaleidoruby...Charlie photos will be on the way soon. Promise.

Meh. I am so fucking pissy. I seriously hate this shit. I'm GROWN. Don't fucking treat me like I'm twelve.

The got a file on me and it's a mile long
And they say that they've got all of the proof
That I'm just another case of arrested development
I'm just another wasted youth

They say that I'm in need of some irradical discipline
They say I gotta face the truth
That I'm just another case of arrested development
I'm just another wasted youth

They say I'm wild and I'm reckless
I should be acting my age
I'm an impressionable child in a tumultous world
And they say I'm at a difficult stage

But it seems to me to the contrary
Of all the crap they're gonna put on the page
That a wasted youth is better by far
Than a wise and productive old age!!!
