Do the Impossible, See the Invisible

If looks could talk...

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 13:07:28 GMT

I don't like to bash Republicans or Democrats, but I was completely shocked when a Republican, in the middle of Obama's address, called out the President in the middle of his speech. Emmanuel AND McCain demanded he apologize to the president. This is basically what went down during the speech:

Obama: "I will not be giving reform to those who are here illegally."
Joe Wilson: "YOU LIE!"
Obama: (again, if looks could talk - "Really, Joe? At a public presidential address? Really?")

It was a ridiculous outburst and while he apologized for it I feel that it may rally Democrats and Republicans closer to a common goal on Health Care reform.

Why, Marvel... WHY!

Apparently there will be a conference call at roughly 10:15. *glances at the clock* Meaning that Marvel's assimilation into the Disney empire is already underway.

Is this a good thing? I don't think so, however, I can say it's better than whatever Hollywood would churn out.

What do you all think?

Thoughts on the writer within: the voice we strive to find.

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 04:17:57 GMT

As a writer, one must be able to take criticism. It hurts. You will be better for it tomorrow, whether you heed the critic's judgment or you simply let it remind you that you can't please everybody.

I'm not above believing some critics should speak their mind, less the mistakes of the story teller continue like a bad rainy day. Yeah, yeah, bla bla, emo, you're saying. Well, this is what the journal is here for: for my posts and thoughts I'm having, whether they are happy or frustrated thoughts or just musings here and there.

Sure. I need to write more. I could stand to read more books and more quickly, too. I am easing myself back into the writer that has been silent for so long throughout my adolescence and early adulthood.

Cryptic entries and game thoughts!

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 19:27:29 GMT

Well, it seems as though some things weren't meant to last. It's okay. I have realized it is for the best. I am also coming into my own more and more as the years pass, finding my unique strengths. The more pain you endure, the more you realize the things that truly matter. And that, in time, you'll find what's right and best for you.

Ah, vague live journal entries... how I love thee! Those whom I'm close with, friends and family, will know some of the things this entry is referring to.

In the mean time, I'm going to be focusing on writing and on the various role playing games I'm running.

Sailor Moon became a quick instant favorite for the players, which took me by surprise. The team is slowly starting to trust each other, which is good! I wish certain characters would interact more but I realize its their play style, so I will have to wait it out and have faith in them. I think the concepts are unique, just as the archetypes are in the show the games based around, so I am expecting great things from this game. It's creative, fun, laid-back, and still choked full of drama and romance.

The other game I have been running is Final Fantasy. At first, I had my doubts. I mean, let's not forget how many Final Fantasy games I have ran in the past. This game has had five or six sessions, in the least, and has great characters, all with real emotions. Each character lives his or her life in accordance with their own code or ethos. There's already something at stake for every one of the characters. It's how a good game should be!

Also, I think these games are not only fun for me, but exciting and entertaining for the players too!

I still have Angel, Marvel, Wild Arms, Star Wars, and Seishin X (anime game), but those are on the back burner these days. I'm letting them simmer in exquisite plot sauce and will come back to them in a little bit. It's good to take a break sometimes.

I'm heading out to a friend's for a while. Apparently, I'm supposed to... be on time? Yeah, every day should have a challenge built in, right? Makes it more fun, or so they say.

The day has come when we shall slash our wrists as one...

Fri, 05 Jun 2009 13:06:41 GMT

... MARTIN?!

Okay. No. Really.

I would say "Warning: Spoiler Alert" but this shit isn't even worth putting that disclaimer up there.

Effectively today in the wide world of manga, Danzo has become the 6th Hokage. Someone has definitely poisoned the water hole and that snake is still in my boot.

I'm not as angry as the bouncy "bitchy" kitty makes me sound but he's the closest mood icon there was to describing the hate I have for the D-man.

The updates begin... or you'll just wait 1 and 1/2 years for another!

Wed, 27 May 2009 17:50:36 GMT

Much has happened between when I last updated and today's date. Here are some updates regarding friends and family:

Ashby: He has moved onto greener pastures - he moved last summer and left the cack in his place. Damn you, Ashby! >:o On another note, the chin man has graduated Virginia Wesleyan! I'd give him a better gift but he stole my graduation dog like six times, so he'll get a pepsi and he'll like it! It's okay because I hardly see this joker anyways! *shakes a fist* Damn you, Ashby... damn you.

Okay, now that I'm done damning Ashby, let's continue. :p

Tim: Well, this guy has come a long way since Farm Fresh, the place of our fateful meeting oh so many years ago. Tim is doing very well in school and making the best of his scholarships and grants. Also, Tim is still the zany oracle-loving bread-man we have come to appreciate.

*I never see these jokers anymore, but it'd be fun to hang out sometime. Maybe if I take cadbury or Tim's noodles and broccoli hostage...

Drew: The cack has moved in as of last year. It has been fun, what with House marathons and gaming. Thankfully, the WoW'age has decreased significantly and I have the absence of orcs and elves have produced a more chill Drew. WOOHOO! Now, if he could just stop buying 400.00 chocolate jellies, then we'd be groovy.

Now, here's a big reason behind the World of Warcraft boycott:

Jess: I'd met her once when she came to Virginia and got us addicted to Nip Tuck, er, I mean, visited Drew. At first, she was shy about gaming but now it looks like she's getting as bad as the rest of us. Mwaha. *Emperor Palpatine voice* Her journey towards the dark side is almost complete. Oh wait, she's not going evil, her in-game brother is. *cough* Jess is also helping Drew to work on some of the things he's needed to work on for some time. Truth be told, those things come into perspective once you've lived together with a woman. Not to say the I'm perfect either, but people get what I'm saying.

Chris: Chris hasn't changed much, but I'm glad that no matter what we squabble about, whatever it is about dies in ten minutes and we're joking about something or singing to some classic song (usually the 'Alcohol song' or 'I love this bar'). Now, sappiness aside, if he would throw away some of those damn character sheets from games we ran five years ago I'd be ecstatic. :p Oh yeah, and apparently he's got a date. He won't tell me who or where. It's as if he doesn't trust me with that knowledge. *whistles*

Richard and Rachel: I'm thankful to be getting to know these two friends better. I used to see them at Jerome's for Buffy every now and again. Now this couple comes to hang out or game whenever we've got on one the books, or even if it's spur of the moment. Rachel, however, has a load ass phone ringer, and Richard works 'til late, but they are some cool folks!

*Important note: That means we have two girl gamers in the group! *gasp* When Dany arrives, that will make a third one. Yaaay!

Dany: Danyelle (Dany) is my girlfriend and my inspiration for my new spark of creativity. What is there to say about this woman? Well, she's clumsy, nerdy, and has a temper, but what can I say? I love her with all my heart. She's my geeky girl, don'tcha know. For Firefly fans, she is a cross between Zoey and Kaylee, if you can imagine such a concoction of a human being. XD

****

As far as changes with my life, obviously I have found the best girl ever. I knew she'd be the last place I'd think to look (now, now, South Dakota does have a mall, I've seen it!). I'm also now employed by GEICO. I knew I'd work for a cartoon lizard one day! I still have to deal with crazy, ignorant coostamers, but Captain Coostamer's job is never complete. Maybe I'll finish that novel. *cough* One day... one day!

Lastly, what games am I currently running?

*Final Fantasy (yes, this one has picked up off the ground!)
*Angel (I'm gonna finally watch the series so I can be inspired for more plot, yays)
*Marvel (Who doesn't love super heroes? C'mon...)

When it becomes important enough...

Tue, 11 Sep 2007 04:55:48 GMT

Ah-hah! I told people I'd update. And here I am, updating away.

It's been a while since I last updated. What is new with me? First of all, I just got done with my response paper for Aristotle. It wasn't that bad at all. (Watch me get a 1.3 on the response. Carstens needs pop-quizzes even horny manatees can pass.)
That said, I should also like to point out that I've got one more year of classes. That's right. Then I'm officially out: an adult, on my own, paying everything myself. It's kind of scary but I really am looking forward to it.
Secondly. Ashby and I are getting a townhouse. It's going to be awesome. 'Specially wednesday nights and thursday. *coughs* But in all seriousness, its going to be good because Ashby needs to experience this just as I had to, and I think he's ready to be on his own (well, y'know, living with a room-mate, but thats still "on your own").
I'm getting back into writing again. That may sound crazy, since I'm supposed to be starting that "novel I've been workin' on for 3 years". School and other things, stresses, and not being able to focus, have led to my procrastination and swaying from my goal of writing. But now I'm doing all in my power to write more and more, and hopefully it will get to the point where I'm writing every day.
And lastly, I'm addicted to Heroes. Seriously, it is a great series, from the few episodes I have seen. Every one of them has had a lot of good, but also a lot of bad, which is part of the attraction. I'm tired of shows these days either giving the hero everything and more, or basically screwing them every time they appear. It's nice to have the variety and the character depth.
I've also got my parents into it. *grins and gives a peace sign* I've got to run one, but I've got my Rule of Three which I shall not break or Ashby will just plaster a gigantic poster of Kermit to my face next time I see him. That, and Chris will do the Nelson laugh, which might hurt my ears. That and its so on the mark, its scary. *cringes* Then again, coming for the dude with Rite of the Valkeryies as his theme song, I'm not surprised.
And now, I'm off to bed.

Its been 1 year. Time passes...so quickly.

Tue, 12 Jun 2007 17:18:55 GMT

Alright, journal. It's been over a year! I think I'm going to start writing stuff down in you. But this time its going to be different. Right now, I'm going through a lot in my life. There are some things people know and some that they don't; both are equally as hard to deal with and find out the answers to. So I'm going to either write down story ideas, bits of philosophy I come across or what I'm feeling about a particular issue at the moment. I'm not positive I'll remember but I'm going to try. I need to get these thoughts down somewhere.

You know what's the devil? That's right - being sick is the devil. I've got one more class to go 'til I'm home free. Until tomorrow, when my slaving away begins at W-corp once again. I received a call from W-corp at 9 this morning. It was Mr. Shirley and he was like, "Yeah, I know you have school but we don't have anyone for main, can you come in for the closing shift? 'Kaythanksbye". Needless to say, I'm not going in. I'd consider it normally, but with me feeling like crap, I'm not going to deal with W-corp today. Why am I even updating about all this? I haven't updated in a long time, so I figure ya'll were due another awesome entry.

Spring Break and...a new creation?

Sun, 26 Mar 2006 06:25:31 GMT

I've got one final day of Spring Break left. I spent it hanging with my friends and chilling in the comfort of my own home. I finished the second book in the Death Gate Cycle called Elven Star. And, as my moments of freedom begin to draw to a close, I will leave you with the strangest new thought to hit modern science today...

Star Wars: Episode I, Part 2

Wed, 08 Mar 2006 21:10:44 GMT

The image of Darth Chrisious fades as Nute Joe-ray makes his way to the bridge surrounded by battle droids. Meanwhile, inside the waiting room, Byers-gon and Drewbi-wan hear a faint hissing...gas!

Byers-gon: "Quick, suggestly sell! I mean...cover your mouth!"
Drewbi-wan: "Why? I don't need to. I already have a prestiege class feat that allows me, twice per day, to ignore any and all status affects, as well as making me immune to all natural or synthetic poisonous gases. It's a basic level 2 Jedi feat, when you get right down to it."
Byers-gon: "You, my young padawan, are an ass. :'(" *holds his breath*

Back on the bridge...

Nute Joe-ray: "Send battle droids in there to finish what's left of them. They should already be dead."
Dofine: "But, doesn't the Christian faith preach that you should love your fellow man?"
Nute Joe-ray: "No! They are NOT men. No! They are vile, evil, and disgusting! You do NOT see them at Regent! No! At Regent, it is calm, peaceful, warm, full of friends, and delightful surroundings. But when you are with a Jedi, you can FEEL their evil oozing out of them. Oh, if I were in there with them right now, I'd CAST IT RIGHT ATTA THERE!"
Dofine:" So...um...you want to go in there and make sure they're dead?"
Nute Joe-ray: "Fugg dat!"
Dofine: *sigh*

The doors to the waiting room open. TC-14 scampers out of the room and apologizes to the battle droids at the door...before they are all promptly sliced to bits by two Jedi who emerge from the smoke. The viewscreen in the bridge picks this up. Nute Joe-ray orders that all blast doors be closed at once!

Byers-gon: "I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I really am. But you're ugly and green, there's nothing you can do about it, so just give up."

With that, Byers-gon just stabs lightsaber into the blast doors, cutting a large hole through it. Before they can get to the bridge, destroyer droids roll out and begin firing mercilessly at the two Jedi. For a few moments, they stop firing and notice they aren't there. Switching to bio-senses, the droids pick up Byers-gon and Drewbi-wan racing through the door at the end of the hallway.

Drewbi-wan: "Twenty dexterity, biatches! Buwahahaha!"
Byers-gon: "If the droids don't kill you, I'm going to shove a suggestively sold Snickers bar up your ass if you don't shut up."
Drewbi-wan: "You're jesting my character..."

Star Wars, Episode 1 parody!

Thu, 23 Feb 2006 19:27:36 GMT

Finally. The time has come. After years of Matt saying, "I'm gonna do this parody", he started it...and here are the results of the first installment of Star Wars Episode 1: Phantom Menace!

Characters
Qui-gon Jin: Mr. Buyers (my store manager at Walgreens)
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Drew

Nute Gunray: Joe
Darth Sidious: Chris

STAR WARS
Episode One: Phantom Menace

Turmoil has engulfed the Galactic Republic. The taxation of trade routes to outlaying star systems is in dispute. Hoping to resolve the matter with a blockade of deadly battleships, the greedy Trade Federation has stopped all shipping to the small planet of Naboo.
While the congress of the Republic endlessly debates this alarming chain of events, the Supreme Chancellor has secretly dispatched two Jedi Knights, the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy, to settle the conflict. . .

A Republic Cruiser flies towards one of the battleships that surround the beautiful, green planet of Naboo.

Buyers-gon: “Captain?”
Captain: “Yes sir?”
Buyers-gon: “Tell the Trade Federation that we wish to board immediately.”
Captain: “Understood, sir.”
Buyers-gon: “And tell them that they need stock up on their m&m cookies while they’re at it.”
Captain: “Er...@_@; Of course, sir.”

The captain turns on the view-screen, where a portrait of Nute Joe-ray appears.

Captain: “With all due respect for the Trade Federation, the Ambassadors for the Supreme Chancellor wish to board immediately.”

Nute Joe-ray: “ Of course. As you know, our blockade of 16 heavily armed battleships with port guns and frontal battery missile cannons is perfectly legal. Nevertheless, we would be happy to see the Ambassadors, as long as they’re Christian!”

The docking bay door opens and two robe figures enter. One has brown hair kept in a ponytail, with a Steelers logo on the back of his robes. This is Buyers-Gon Jin. The other man has shorter hair and wears an black FBI hat and raver pants. This is Drewbi-Wan Kenobi. The protocol droid in the room addresses them.

TC-14: “ I am TC-14, at your service. Please, this way.”

The droid leads the two into a formal conference room, then leaves.

Drewbi-Wan: “I have a bad feeling about this.”
Buyers-Gon: “No need. I’m sure the Steelers will win the Super Bowl this year.”
Drewbi-Wan: “Not the damn Steelers game, Master! I mean about our situation.”
Buyers-Gon: “Don’t center on your anxiety. Instead, why not stock some items from aisle eight.”
Drew-bi Wan: *SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH* “...so, how do you think the viceroy will deal with the demands of the Chancellor?”
Buyers-Gon: “These federation types are cowards. They don’t even know what aisle the shampoo goes down. It’s alright, the negotiations will be short.”

On the bridge, Nute Joe-ray and his associates stand before TC-14, looking quite shocked.

Nute Joe-ray: “What did you say?”
TC-14: “I believe the two ambassadors sent by the Chancellor are Jedi Knights.”
Nute Joe-ray: “Stay calm, everybody. We are in the hand of God, Himself, so there is no need to worry! So... eh... Dofine, you distract them while I contact Lord Chrisious.”
Dofine: “ Me? Go in there with two Jedi Knights? Are you insane?”
Nute Joe-ray: “No, but I have the power of God backin’ me up, so it’s all good!” *Grins and gives thumbs up*
Dofine: >:O

Back in the conference room, Drewbi-Wan begins to get a little impatient.

Drewbi-Wan: “This is so lame...can we go back? Dungeons and Dragons Online is going to be coming out within the next week, Master!”
Buyers-Gon: “They’re probably just unloading the truck of suggesting selling items. Let’s wait a little longer.”
Drewbi-Wan: >:O

On the bridge, Nute, Dofine, and the others stand before a holographic image of Darth Chrisious, a man hidden beneath dark robes and a hood.

Dofine: “This scheme of your’s has failed. We’re finished!”
Darth Chrisious: “It’s not my fault we have a bunch of idiots like Joe running the show! And it seems that you’re more afraid of the Jedi Knights than you are of me. Am I right? *tilts down his glasses* You’re making me angry...and you won’t like me when I’m angry. Viceroy!”
Nute Joe-ray: “Yes, My lord?”
Darth Chrisious: “I don’t want to see that man in my sight again. And just because... we should boil him in a vat of c-4. Hyah!”
Nute Joe-ray: “ You know, I can SEE it, I can SEE it!” *laughing*
Darth Chrisious: “The turn of events is unfortunate and it’s making me bored. And when Chrisious gets bored, he gets hyper! :) Muwahaahaha!You know that fact by now, don’t you Joe-ray? So, I want you to begin landing your troops on Naboo?”
Nute Joe-ray: “Fugg dat! Isn’t that...you know... illegal? You would NOT see that at Regent.”
Chrisious: “Regent can go feck off! And you know me, Joe-ray. If I want something legal, it will be legal in... hm, hm, hm, what do you think? 20 minutes?”
Nute Joe-ray: “ Yep! We’ll send down our troops of the 7th squadron and gun down those liberals in their dirty homes and cast ‘em right outta there!”
Chrisious: “lol. . .catch you later, then. :)”

So, once more, I have returned from Laurien's house. *Yawns and stretches* First things first. She got this AWESOME haircut. I LOVE IT. When I actually arrived, we headed to Giant so we could see Tiffany while she slaved away at the infernal place of employment. Yes, I just said 'infernal'. >_> Which means it has something to do with being the devil. RANDOM NOTE. It's 4:44 and I just made a wish! =D See, that's better than the straw-wishing game. Because you always end up with the knot more than half the time. The clock one has much better odds 'cause there's no damn knot to worry about. XD It's fun, though. So yes, we ate at Ruby Tuesdays. I practically died after eating one third of my chicken and broccoli with cheese pasta. We talked and in general, had a good time, then we left to make Rice Crispy Treats. Only thing was, Tiffany felt tired so the urge to make delicious treats of rice ran away. Feel better, Tiffany! =) HOWEVER. Laurien and I did sit out in her yard and look up at the stars. That really made me smile. *happy sigh* And then, she showed me several locations around town that were special to her and played songs that had meanings behind them. I love learning about this girl, but I've said that like eight million times! I didn't wanna go but we said we'd definitely meet up again before she goes off to Disney. There will be hell to pay, though, if I don't get a picture of my baby with Aladdin. *grins* So, in length, I had a WONDERFUL time again. I enjoy every moment I spend with her. I've known her for a few months and we've been together only a short time. Yet, whenever I see her get online or she calls or I'm able to visit her, my mood sky-rockets and I'm bubbling with smiles all over the place. And, I have this feeling inside that this is where I'm meant to be. With Laurien, the lovelight of my life. *happy sigh and hops towards the bed like a bunny*

GO MUSH! XD *cheers for the sweetness and then slinks under the sheets of his heating blanket*

On a final note, let us toast to Ashby, who is working an early shift tomorrow! May he uh... drink loads of coffee and not kill me later for his evil Wednesday that is to come. Surely, it must be vb20's handiwork. >.>

This is an edit to the post I typed up at 6 this morning. I absolutedly LOVED the duet that Laurien and I sang of "A Whole New World". That was WONDERFUL. *happy sigh* This girl really is amazing, she really is. *smiles*

Now type to be smacked around in Mario Party 6 with Ashby. >_> *runs off in a Yoshi costume doing Dinosaur noises* Rawr!

The trip of awesomeness!

I just got home from visiting Laurien. *Sighing happily* But damn, it rained hardcore most of the trip back. I'm just thankful that I had about 10 hours of sleep under my belt yesterday. *grins* And the trip? It was WONDERFUL. The only bad part was that Tiffany was sad and at work, which was evil, but we brought her coffee and talked with her some. I hope thinks are better with her now...somehow, at 6am. O_o Yeah. I'm cool.

Now, for details on the trip! Guess what we did? We drove around town looking at her old houses while listening to music on my CD player in the car. It was actually very fun and I keep learning about her. I love just listening sometimes. Strangely, I never get tired of learning about that girl. I love her so much. <3 *broad, sleepy smile* So then, we went to her house and I met her younger brother, Johnathan. Not to be confused with Tim's Ogre Battle NPC. *laughs then yawns Kirbeh-style* He was annoying. Yet oddly, he wanted me to read his poems and look at art his girlfriend made him. I was like, "whoa...", because all that stuff seemed pretty private to me but I guess that means that so far, her family likes me. Although, if her siblings didn't, it wouldn't matter too much, methinks. :P

At about 11-12:30, we tried watching some of Big Fish, which was really good until the player started skipping at the most emotional part in the beginning. So, instead, we made fun of Room Raiders. Although, we didn't have to at one point because:

Guy: "I'm glad you picked me. I'm Jeff, nice to meet you!"
Girl: "Nice to meet you."
Guy: "So, you liked my chalupas?"

Even though they were chinchillas, not chalupas! It was funny, though. Lastly, we just sat outside and talked while snuggling on the porch while a light breeze blew. So, I was all ready to leave. We kissed goodnight... like, a million times. *big smile* I just didn't want to leave and she didn't want that either, so for 15-20 minutes, we just kissed and hugged and I kept saying "okay, I'm going now for real". Seriously, this girl is wonderful. Yes, it's my journal, I'll be mushy if I wish to be! And, I do, so nyeh. XD I'm so in love with this girl. She can always make me smile, no matter what. And, I hope I can always bring a smile to her face, because she's even prettier when she smiles. ^_^ MUSH! YES. *grins sleepily*

To make an already-long-story shorter...somehow: I HAD A WONDERFUL TIME! :D

And my task for tomorrow? Find a Theodore icon...yes, yes. For now, sleep is for the weak and I'm such a weakling. XD *topples over and gets some sleepage!*

Ashby is soooo much cooler than me. It's downright frightening!

Sat, 14 Jan 2006 06:21:18 GMT

So, this = happiness! I could stay like that forever. =)

My day of awesomeness. :D

So, Laurien, her best friend Tiffany, and her boyfriend Billy just left a few minutes ago. *sob, flail, whine*

After waking up at 1:30 this afternoon, I went to Ashby's house. We played Super Smash Brothers Melee. Now, if Ashby ever tells you his "isn't good with" a character, be prepared to get pownzed. I prefer Link and Kirby, who're great. I showered and got ready at his house before going to eat with him, then heading back to his house to drop him off. And then, back to my house to wait for Laurien and her friends.

Coming back from Ashby's house, I saw them pulling into the Tolbert's (our next door neighbor) house. My mom met us outside and began her motherly tradition of making fun of me. *grins* I wouldn't expect anything less and you know I love my mother. We then went inside 'cause it was getting cold. Laurien made me a grilled cheese sandwich. It was quite soggy. *raises a brow and makes a "fwop" noise* But, besides the texture, it was good!

After about thirty minutes of trying to decide on a movie to see, we finally agreed to see "Ringers" at Pembroke. Then came our next decision: where to eat? Fast food seemed to be on the menu. I suggested "Taco Bell" and immediately, everybody made up their minds. We're all Taco Bell fiends. Baha Blast, bitches! XD

We made a thirty decision that instead of going to see the movie, we'd get Starbucks and do some other stuff. Laurien and I ran across the Independance/Virginia Beach Blvd intersection, across two lanes of traffic, to get to Starbucks. We ordered a white chocolate mocha with whipped cream. *dies after melting into coffee goodness* A few things to remember from that trip to Starbucks:

1. ROCKET MAAAAAAAAAN! *tilts head back and pretends smashing fingers onto a piano which is really the table*
2. "Girl talk" is evil. Because even if you start to listen in and have a good chance of hearing what they're saying, they begin texting each other. Psh!
3. I drink my coffee fast. Billy was nearly done. Tiffany and Laurien are SLOW coffee drinkers!

So, after that, we drove to the beach and parked by a family friend's house. It was damn cold! *Shivers* But, it was really nice to hear the crashing of the waves on the shore and it was nice being there with Laurien. *grins* Finally, we found it too cold and left for the Pembroke Mall. We browsed through different stores like China Town Imports and Walden Books and the pet store. Laurien and Tiffany wanted them ALL.

Then, we came home and while Tiffany and Billy looked at the stars, I took Laurien to the lake behind the house. It was so beautiful. We heard this honking and I thought it was a duck. It was a goose or an ingrid, I think. We just stood out on the docks and talked. We just held each other and kissed. It was perfect.

My Christmas Eve

Sun, 25 Dec 2005 06:44:44 GMT

I just got out of work t'night, but I wanted to wish everybody a very merry christmas eve. Tonight, before getting some much needed rest, I'd like to share an awesome story of the true meaning of christmas. So, while working at Walgreens this evening, the phone rings. Then again, it's been ringing non-stop with people asking us how late we're open. Well, one particular phone call really made my night. This woman on the phone said she was sorry I was working Christmas Eve and they had some left-over pie at their christmas party that she'd like to give to me. I was really stunned. But what shocked me the most was when they actually brought it in the STORE. I thought that they were kidding, but lo and behold, they walked right in while a large pumpkin pie wrapped in tin foil.

I also gave up my Santa hat. Some girl came in looking for one and we didn't have any more. So I was like, "It's Christmas, here's my hat" and my head, which has been wrapped up since December's beginning, felt a slight draft. But, it made their day so it made me feel good.

That is the spirit of Christmas. No, I don't mean 'pie'. It's about unconditional kindness, even among strangers, and that is what binds us together on this special day, which is actually tomorrow, because today is the 'eve' before the day. It's about time for me to get some sleep, 'cause I gotta be back in there at 1. *cry-face* You all are awesome and let the spirit of Christmas take over for a day. C'mon, man. You know you wanna... everybody's doin' it. *snickers and just falls the hell to sleeeeep*
