You Just Angered a Hefty Transvestite Man  
Hello people!

I was woken up around 9:30 this morning by dad.

I took my shower before going to bed last night, so I didn't need to worry about that. Nick was at school and mom was at work. I went downstairs and just chilled with dad for a while before we went out to Wal*Mart for groceries. On the way, we listened to the soundtrack from A Colbert Christmas and I realized that dad has never actually seen the special! :O So we're gonna have to watch it, like, this week.

When we got to Wal*Mart, we picked up about half of what we needed; they didn't have everything else. We went to Hannaford next and got the rest of what was on our list (with a few things that weren't on the list). We went home after that and that's about all that's happened today. I did the dishes and watched TV and scoped out online colleges. I applied to University of Phoenix for a criminal justice degree, believe it or not.

I think that will help me get a better handle on the inner-workings of law enforcement and forensics since I need to know about that stuff to write my thriller novels. So, yeah. I watched Grounded for Life, where the title of this post came from. And now, um, I'm bored and the fam's kinda disgruntled with each other. Mom came home grumpy again and, of course, it always affects everyone. We're just gonna watch TV tonight.

Pretty uneventful day. Although, I do believe I have made dad secretly like Lady Gaga. He was humming Bad Romance all day and he keeps looking up Lady Gaga videos, AND, he asked me about her songs this morning. I'm pretty happy about all that, lol. Oh, I also picked up a job application for GameStop and edited my resume today, but that's not really a big deal, lol. Okay, I'm done.

Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

Here's Your Stocking; STUFF IT  
Hello people!

I had a couple crazy dreams last night. I dreamt that Nick and I were at a construction site and this guy started yelling at Nick for no reason. I said, "Don't talk to my brother like that." The guy slapped Nick, so I said, "If you keep acting that way, I'm gonna shoot you." The guy then punched Nick, so I shot him in the head and then I woke up, lol. I told you it was crazy. *shrugs* Nobody messes with my brother, lol.

I had another dream that this old lady let me and a cute older guy lock ourselves in a huge store she had, all by our lonesome. Apparently, we had the intention of fooling around in there, but I woke up before that happened (damn it). Mom woke me up and climbed into bed with me. Then dad came in, then Nick, then Budgie, lol. We all snuggled and talked and laughed and it was great. I miss doing that. <3

Dad had to do some grocery shopping, so I went with him. We went home shortly after that. Teh rents and I went up to the room above the garage to see how much space there is in there. See, we're gonna turn it into an apartment and I'm gonna live there while I do online schooling. It's a plus in a ton of ways cuz not only do I get a really cool place to live, but it also increases our home value! :D

I'm so excited. We're not entirely sure when we can do it all (we're thinking probably next summer), but we're definitely doing it. GAH, my head's gonna explode, lol. XD Anywho, um, we went back inside for a bit, where I made snowflakes that I taped on the windows in the kitchen. Mom made pasta salad and dad put up Christmas lights outside. Eventually, we had dinner; paninis like I made at school a few weeks ago!

Mind had salami, Gouda cheese and lettuce, but teh rents' had chicken and Havarti cheese on theirs. They were SUPER tasty. <3 We watched Elf, then Chasing Christmas was on ABC Family, so we watched that. THEN, Santa Baby was on. That's where the title of this post is from. I just watched The Middle and now I have nothing to do. BOREDOM SUCKS. Oh, but ya know what's awesome?



So awesome. Oh, dad and I went to the store to get ice cream, too, so that was yummy. Now I'm gonna go find something to do.

Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

Dick Cheney's Soul on the Way to the Devil  
Hello people!

Another late night. My bad!

Today was significantly better than yesterday, lol. Dad woke me up around 11:30 and I took a quick shower. He was working outside, so I went out to see him. I apologized for last night and he said it was okay and that he was in a very good mood today. He was blasting Christmas music from his radio; that was awesome. I helped him move a couple boxes from the breezeway, then told him that my bike was stolen.

Did I mention that? Cuz yeah, my bike was stolen, lol. Anywho, I'm not really upset about it; I mean, it sucks that someone took my freaking bike, but it was old and too small for me anyway, so... He didn't take it all that well and asked me to go back inside and just let him work. He eventually got happier, thankfully. Mom came home around 1:00 and Nick came down to join us in the kitchen. We were all inside then.

I was flipping through the channels on the TV when I came across Mean Girls. I, of course, turned it on cuz I LOVE that movie. Well, mom and Nick got into it and now they love it, too! :D I win. It was so much fun, all of us watching that together (dad had seen it already, but he was enjoying, too). At 3:30, we all decided to go out. We needed to get out of the house for a while. We first went to Bed, Bath and Beyond.

We easily spent half an hour to an hour in there looking at random and totally awesome kitchen supplies. It was so much fun! I mean, you don't really expect to have fun in that store, but it really was a blast. It was about 5:00 when we left there, I think, and we decided to go to dinner. We went to Ruby Tuesdays and I got the salad bar, as usual. It was delicious! The carrot slices were kinda freaking huge, though.

I wasn't pleased with that, lol. I like thinly-sliced carrots. *shrugs* The Ruby's was attached to a mall, so we walked around there for a few hours. We stopped in Hot Topic, where I picked up a Spiderman t-shirt and a Journey t-shirt, both on clearance. <3 We passed an Invisible Fence kiosk/pagoda in the mall, and on it there was a mini!Christmas tree with those little generic spherical ornaments.

I took two of them and attached them to my earrings so it looked like I was wearing ornaments as earrings. Believe it or not, they actually kinda looked good. I expected them to look silly, but I think they were cool. So I wore them around all night. We went to Spencer's and mom bought me a tie on sale, but is gonna give it to me for a Christmas present, so I can't have it yet. ;] No worries. We went to Target after that.

I bought a cute Christmas mug, some Trident Layers gum (after seeing their kickass commercial, how can you NOT buy it, lol?) and the new John Mayer CD for mom for Christmas. I am SO excited to give everyone their presents. GAH, I don't wanna wait. XD Anywho, um, after that, we made a quick stop at Dunkin Donuts then went on home. Teh rents and I watched Castle, where the title of this post is from.

And now, we're all going to bed. YAY SLEEP!

Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

Barium Cobalt Einstein Kool-Aid!  
Hello people!

I had a crazy dream last night.

I dreamt that Aaron brought a friend back here from Utah and dragged two beds into Vicki's and my room. He and his friend slept in our room for some reason. I woke up (in my dream, I was sleeping, lol) and said to Aaron, "What are you doing here? I thought they made you leave?" and he just started politically ranting at me. Then I said, "But you can't go to classes. You're not allowed." And he said, "Watch me."

Then he dragged his friend out with him and I woke up (in real life). I intended to get up at 10:00, but I didn't wind up actually getting up til 10:45, when Jen came to get me. She had overslept, too. She, Jade, Chris and I went to brunch together. I had tater tots and some french toast, but the french toast was awful. *shrugs* Oh, well. We spent an hour in the cafeteria, just talking. After that, we went back to Bogue.

I took a shower and went back to bed for a few hours. Chris and Brian came and got me up at about 5:00 and we went to dinner. I just had some cereal. I wasn't really hungry. We went back to the dorm and Chris went to his room. Brian came up to my room and just passed out on my bed, which kinda pissed me off (I have issues with people being on my bed), but he was at a structure fire all night (he's a firefighter), so...

Jen came by at 5:30 and watched me play MGS for an hour. Then she went to her room to pack and I kept playing for a while. We had a mandatory meeting at 7:00, so Chris, Brian, Jade and I had to go down to that, but Jen went home tonight cuz she has a dentist appointment tomorrow morning. When the meeting was over, I played more MGS and Jade watched me for a while. Then, finally, Vicki got back! :D

At 9:00, I watched this cool show on the Discovery channel called, "Jack the Ripper in America." It was awesome! Now, we're watching Meet the Robinsons. It's cute, I like it so far. Title of this post is from the movie. Okay, that's about it.

Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

If He Likes It, I Like It...  
Hello people!

HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13TH! Vicki and I woke up at 10:00 to Lady Gaga. Best way to wake up EVER. <3

We turned the music up as loud as it would go and rocked out, lol. It was so awesome. We each took showers and then dragged Jen and Chris to lunch with us at noon. I got a chicken patty sandwich and some home fries. I didn't expect it to be all that good, but it was! :D Vicki and Chris went to class and Jen and I went back to the dorm. I taught myself the other dance Lady Gaga does in that video.

Ya know, the part at the end where she's dressed in red and lying on the floor. It's at 3:57 in the video. Anywho, I also taught myself how to say those lines she says in French. Then Vicki came back and she packed to go home. We all chilled in Jen's room for a bit, then Chris, Vicki and I went downstairs to wait for Vicki's mom. Eventually, she arrived and Vicki went home. I went upstairs and watched TV for a while.

I made myself a pepperoni sandwich for dinner and then had some hot chocolate cuz I was totally in the mood. I got bored and went to hang out with Jen, Jade and Chris. We've just been looking at funny pictures on Jen's computer and laughing our heads off. Today's been pretty slow, lol. I've gotta work tonight, from nine to midnight. I'm glad, cuz YAY MORE MONEY, but I'm tired, so I'm not happy at the same time, lol.

OH! I made a video for mom and dad's anniversary (a day late *shakes head*)! Watch it - trust me, you'll like it.



Okay, that's about it, lol. Oh, title of this post is something Jen said. It's funnier out of context.

Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

I Almost Said, "Shower, Are You Getting in the Miranda?"  
Hello people!

I woke up at about 10:00 today.

Goodness me, I love sleeping in. <3 Vicki and I killed time til noon, when we went to lunch. Guess what? They had chicken nuggets today! :D I had a bunch of those, then Vicki and I went back to Bogue. We chilled for, like, an hour. Jen and Brian came and got me and Chris to go to Rutland and shop. I got a pound of sandwich pepperoni at Hannaford. <3 We all stopped at F.Y.E. and got a TON of stuff.

Well, I only got one thing; a Kingdom Hearts blanket that I think Nick is really gonna love (and if he doesn't, I'll take it). We actually spent all day getting Christmas presents for each other, or planning on getting things. After that, we went to the mall to see if GameStop had a cardboard cut-out that Jen wanted. They didn't, unfortunately. We stopped at the F.Y.E. there for a short bit. They had a bunch of stuff that I want. GUH.

I need more money, lol. XD Anywho, next, we went to another GameStop nearby so Jen could reserve a poster, since she couldn't get that cardboard cut-out. We finally went back to school after that whilst rocking out to Foreigner and Journey in the car. <333 We went upstairs and chilled til dinner. Vicki and I went at 4:30-ish and I made myself a quesadilla. It was not good. :( So Vicki and I made waffles! :D

Those were much better, lol. And I had a little ice cream on the side, so MMM. We went back to the dorm and we've basically been doing nothing. We stopped at The Buttery and got some fries, and I've had a microwave s'more, so we've kinda been pigging out today, lol. ANYWHO, that's about it. Oh, Vicki said the title of this post tonight. HEHE. XD Okay, and now, it's time for a shower, and then bed.

Blahhhhhhhhhhhh. Oh, have you heard the new Lady Gaga song, "Bad Romance"? And seen the video? It's AMAZING. <3

Your Butt Capactiy Has Reached 1.21 Jizziwatts!  
Hello people!

I had a dream that I was swimming through this huge canal with a friend of mine, though it was no one I knew in real life. We were on a field trip for Images and we had to get to the very end of the canal before we could go. It was kind of like a video game, actually, in that once I reached the end, there was no going back and I had to move on to the next area. *shrugs* Anywho, you all know my guitar pin, right?

The same one that Chuck Noblet has? Well, I lost it in the canal and I was freaking out. My friend and I went after it and followed it all the way back to the beginning, but it fell deep down in the water and was gone. Then she and I were in the car on the way back to school and we were under this huge comforter, trying to get warm and dry. I said, "I wish my pin was right here," as I dug around in the comforter. My friend laughed.

Then, suddenly, I found the pin on the comforter! It was right on my lap. I squee'd and my friend was like, "Wow, that's lucky." Then I woke up. X] Mom got me up at 10:30 and I, once again, took a shower right away. I watched some TV while mom got ready and then she and I headed out to Olive Garden for lunch. It was fantastic. We got the ushe, of course, and I split the bill with mom. Next, we went to JoAnn's.

Mom was looking for something, but I don't remember what. While there, I got some decent-size jingle bells, cute socks with snowflakes on them and some google-y eyes to glue onto random things at school. XD I'm excited for that, lol. Then, we went to Wal*Mart where I got a santa hat. I wanted to get a really cute teddy bear, but mom told me not to, so I didn't. *shrugs* We stopped at one other place real quick.

Mom just wanted to bop around there, we didn't have a particular reason for going. It was this half restaurant, half store called The Silo. We spent about ten minutes there, then drove over to a park down the street and just sat. All day, we listened to our SheDaisy Christmas CD, which is a mom and me thing. We always listen to it together and always sing every song together. <333 It's our fave CD. :}

We also listened to a couple other songs we like, including "Another Christmas Song," hehe. We went home after sitting at the park for about ten minutes. Since we got home, we've just been chilling out, watching TV. I DVR'd last night's SNL, so we watched that. It was HILARIOUS. Title of this post is from one of the sketches. I think Taylor Swift did a really good job. Um, not much else has happened.

I watched part of the Ed, Edd n Eddy movie. I'm DVR-ing the ending to watch later tonight cuz we're watching Bones right now. I'm staying home tonight and going back to school tomorow morning. I am honestly, seriously emotionally and physically done with college. I don't want to go anymore. Every day feels like it lasts a year. I hate being away from my family. It's really not worth it to me. I think I'm gonna transfer to online classes.

I don't care how bad it sounds that I want to be around my parents so much. I only get one life and I love them more than anything and I want to spend as much time as I can with them.

Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

The Black Mambo, Which is What Lou Bega Calls His Penis  
Hello people!

I had a dream last night that I was riding with my family in this golf cart-type vehicle. We were driving around a toy store (yes, inside a toy store), looking for something in particular. We passed a section of Jurassic Park toys, and I said, "Jurassic Park toys?! I'm getting off here!" I jumped off the cart and my parents told me to wait, but they didn't stop. I looked at all the toys and they eventually came back for me.

I grabbed a bunch that I wanted and then, suddenly, I was sitting at a table with all my toys and a bunch of other people. We were at some kind of demonstration where this semi-angry lady explained to us how to use our toys. Ya know, incase we weren't sure. *rolls eyes* We got glow-in-the-dark paint and started fiddling with it. Then I woke up. Dad got me up at about 10:30 this morning. I immediately took a shower.

I killed a little time til about noon, when mom got home from work. She, dad and I went out to go bop around this little town mom wanted us to see. It was kinda dinky, but oh well, I guess. We went to a book store and I found an awesome new book. Ya know those "-ology" books (Dragonology, Egyptology, etc.)? There was a new one: Spyology. It's chock full of facts about spies in history and codes and suchwich.

I thought it was awesome and asked mom if she could get it for me for Christmas (meaning check it out on Amazon, cuz it's prolly cheaper there, lol). She just picked it up and bought it right then and there, lol. So at least I know I got it...? XD WHOOT! I don't get it til Christmas, though, of course. *shrugs* S'all good. ANYWHO, we stopped at a few antiques shops and then we went to lunch at this teeny little restaurant.

I got a club sandwich; it was quite tasty. After that, we went to some country stores and Christmas stores and the like. It was kinda boring, but I did find a really cute ornament that I got (it's a snowflake with a little snoman face in the center). We stopped at an ice cream shop where I got a milkshake called, "Chocolate Cow." It was chocolate milk with chocolate ice cream. SO GOOD, holy monkeys. Mmm. <3

Then we headed home and, well, here we are. I've been thinking a lot lately about how I'm having a lot of trouble keeping up with you guys on here and balancing that with everything that's going on in real life. It's a lot to think about, ya know? But I don't want to lose you guys. SO, I've got a short little meme for you guys to do real quick to refresh me on wassup with you guys! I hope you'll take a sec to do it. :]

1. Last movie you saw:
2. Last song you heard:
3. Last book you read (or are reading):
4. Last food you ate:
5. Last drink you had:
6. Last TV show you watched:
7. Name one good thing that happened to you in the past week:
8. Name one bad thing that happened to you in the past week:
9. Name one major/important thing that happened to you in the past week:
10. Anything else to say?:

The title of this post is, I believe, something Stephen said on Thursday's Colbert Report (I've been watching it with Aaron lately! :D). It's nice to watch TDS and TCR again, I've missed them. Anywho, I know Stephen said something along those lines, but I don't recall the quote exactly and the video's taking an extremely long time to load, so I can't check it. But here it is, incase you wanna watch it.

Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

She Was Hiding from Change...She Hated Obama!  
Hello people!

I slept on and off til 12:30 this morning.

I kept waking up every hour cuz people kept knocking on my door. No offense to my friends, but it's kind of annoying how clingy they are. I like hanging out with them every now and then but for goodness sake, sometimes I like a little me-time. Sometimes, I just wanna chill by myself and watch some TV. Why does no one else want to do that? What is wrong with these people, lol? Anywho...

I finally got up at 12:30 and quickly rushed to Withey. I got a quick lunch of tater tots and then bolted downstairs to check my mail for my paycheck; success! It was there. I speed-walked back to Bogue and packed to go home. I called dad to let him know I was ready to go, then I washed a couple dishes and took out the trash. I had about half an hour of free time, so I watched WifeSwap til dad arrived.

We got home at about 4:00 cuz we had to stop at Hannaford for corn and juice. Teh rents and I kicked back in the kitchen for a while. That was really fun. I cannot describe to you guys how much I love hanging out with my parents. They're just the coolest damn people on the planet. <3 We watched The Middle and Castle, the latter from which the title came (is that worded right at all? It feels so very wrong...).

We've just been watching TV all night and now mom and I are watching dad play Drake's Fortune in their room. I'm going to bed shortly after this cuz I'm wiped out. I gotta be rested; we're going shopping tomorrow! :D

Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

Tell Me, Again, About the Time You Got a Splinter  
Hello people!

FINALLY, the pics of our haunted house-esque garage setup for Halloween have uploaded onto Photobucket. SO, here's the picspam I promised.

( WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS GRAPHIC IMAGERY. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED. )

The end. There was a fence and some tombstones and such in the yard, but we didn't get pics of those. And obviously, the garage was very dark and had strobe lights and shit going off, dad just used his flash for most of the pictures (though I think he could've gotten more of them without the flash and had that extra scare factor...but whatevs, lol).

She Says the Suit Has More Sex Appeal Than He Ever Did  
Hello people!

I'm feeling like everything is pointless at the moment...I hate this feeling...ugh.

Dad woke me up at 8:30 this morning, and I went downstairs to take a shower. We all got ready to go out; today, we celebrated dad's birthday (even though it's actually tomorrow) cuz I have to go back to school tonight. We went to a Halloween store to get stuff half off. It was awesome! I got a shimmery pink tie, red and black striped socks, a pentacle necklace with little blue orbs at each point of the star, and a Greek arm cuff.

Unfortunately, the cuff is a little smaller than I thought and doesn't really fit on my arm. But perhaps it'll fit on Jen's? *shrugs* Dad got a TON of stuff, mostly clown/circus decor for next year's theme for Halloween. I'm not looking forward to that; clowns really scare me. In fact, one of the things dad got is terrifying and I hate it. *shudders* It's a life-size clown with a dagger in its hand and it's so hideous. Bleh! D:

It was about 11:00 when we left and we were hungry, so we went to Ninety-Nine for lunch. We all got chicken tenders and we all enjoyed them, lol. We had a really good time there; we were totally silly and they played awesome tunes, and even our waiter was a pretty cool dude ...he was kinda cute, too, hehe. After that, we decided to go to a Barnes&Noble down the street. We were there for a long time; easily three or four hours.

I didn't buy anything, but I flipped through a few books and sat down and read this one called, The Box. Yes, it explains the origination of the movie, but the story in the book is a little different, methinks. Also, the book had a handful of short stories, including, "Button, Button," which is what inspired the movie (The Box). ANYWHO, one of the stories was about this guy, Charlie, who couldn't function without wearing each piece of his suit.

If he didn't have his shoes on, he couldn't walk, if he didn't have his hat on, he couldn't think, etc. Charlie's brother, a drunken man whose name we never find out, is telling Charlie's story to a stranger at a party on the balcony of an apartment. Charlie's brother explains that, last week, Charlie's suit came to life, put itself together in front of the mirror, laughed at Charlie (who was curled up on his bed), then went to Charlie's job.

Miranda (:D), Charlie's wife, left him for his suit and said that *points to title of post*. The stranger that Charlie's brother is talking to says something like, "Really? You don't say..." and then Charlie's brother passes out from being so drunk. The stranger stands up, goes back into the party, gets Miranda and leaves. The End...get it? The stranger was Charlie's suit, lol. ;D I thought that story was pretty funny.

So, yeah, we sat in the store for a while and I drank some coffee. Around 4:00, we went on home. Mom finished dad's birthday cake (which is more like a pie than a cake...actually, I think it's cheesecake...I don't know, lol) and I helped her do some dishes. Now we're watching football. Oh, and FUCK YEAH to the Dolphins beating the Jets today! That made my day. XD <3 We're gonna have dad's cake soon...YAY!

I'm heading back to school at about 7:00, which I'm not looking forward to. I desperately wanna just stay here and hang with my family. OH, guess what? My mom said that if I hurry up and apply to the school I'm gonna transfer to (Champlain College) and get that shit done, then I can just leave Green Mountain at the end of this semester and can just live at home and work til August! :D I'm so excited for that! <333

Death By Falling Bucket  
Hello people!

I had a dream last night...um...the details of which have, unfortunately, escaped my mind. Guh.

Dad woke me up at about 10:30 again this morning. He wanted me to make fliers to put up to attract people to our house, since we heard not many people come our way. I made fliers shaped like tombstones and they came out really cool! :D But guess what? It started raining, so we couldn't put those up. *facepalm* Colby came over and helped dad, so I built this tree of lights inside, which dad asked me to do.

It was a cheap piece of shit and branches kept snapping off as I tried to bend them into place (and I'm talking barely moving them). I finally finished building it whilst watching Forensic Files (there was a marathon on today! :D). Then I started working on the second and last pumpkin. It took me a while to empty out its insides, and even longer to find what I wanted to carve into it, but I eventually did find the right image.

It's a little hard to get exactly what I was going for, but in the image, there's a guy hung on a tree in the background and a couple tombstones nearby, and then there's a dead guy who was also hanging from a tree, but cut himself down from his noose and is walking away from the gallows. :D

( Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very long... )

I'm so proud of my pumpkins this year, I just love them. <3 So, after carving that, mom and I went to the store to pick up a few things for dinner. By the time we got out of the store, it was pouring down rain outside. It sucked, and we just knew dad would be pissed off and upset when we got back. We were right. We brought in the groceries while Colby and Nick helped him. I actually had to finish my pumpkin, so I worked on that.

Then I made dinner, which was a mexican meatloaf head with mashed potato brains and taco sauce blood. It actually came out pretty cool! And it tasted awesome! :D I only made the face down to his nose, which is kinda hard to make out in the shitty webcam pic. I forgot my damn camera AND my Flip camcorder. I only have pics for you guys, no video. Just putting that out there. ANYWHO, onward ho...

( Fred's Head is so mmm, mmm, good. )

I really had to talk mom into letting me do that and I'm so glad she finally did. I love it! XD I went outside to help dad and Nick while dinner was cooking in the oven, but it turns out my help wasn't really needed; very, VERY few kids came out because of the rain and the wind. It sucked and we all felt like shit. We all worked so fucking hard on the decorations, and they were amazing! I seriously could've cried.

At 8:30, we came inside and ate our late dinner of Fred's Head (that's what I have dubbed it, lol). Mom was watching Carrie, so we watched that. Nick's friends came by after trick-or-treating and watched it with us. There was only about half an hour left to the movie, so after it was finished, Nick and his buds went upstairs. We flipped through the channels and stopped on The Haunting of Molly Hartley, which had an hour left.

It was so fucking stupid. Holy crap, that movie is retarded. Poorly-acted, poorly-done, stupid story. Just plain awful. Anywho, I turned it to Most Shocking on truTV for an hour, then we watched an ep of Forensic Files. Mom started falling asleep around 11:30, so we all got ready for bed and now, here we are. I'm feeling very down right now and just wanna sleep. I don't wanna do anything but sleep for the rest of my life...

Oh, before I go to bed, I took pics of the Halloween decorations with dad's camera, but Photobucket doesn't want to upload them tonight, so I'll post them in a picspam post tomorrow.

Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

P.S. Title of this post is something Nick said about the boyfriend in Carrie getting knocked out by the bucket. He thought the guy had died, and said that *points to title*, lol.

I'll Have a Chocolate Muffin...You Had a Chocolate Muffin Yesterday  
Hello people!

Dad woke me up to help him put up some Halloween decorations at about 10:30 today.

I took a shower, then went outside to help dad. Oh, man, it was so fun. We made some, what we call, "dead guys," which are pants and shirts stuffed with newspaper and whatnot, then connected to look like a body. We set them up how dad wanted 'em. Then we splattered some blood on some of the decorations. Dad chained a dead guy up on the ceiling, which was epic. We took a break around 1:30 for lunch.

I had mac 'n' cheese and watched a little TV. I helped dad a little more til Nick got home, when dad took a break to take him to get coffee down the street (at Cumberland Farms). I was cold from being outside (it was windy today), so I decided to be done helping dad for now and to carve a pumpkin, since we didn't have any carved for tomorrow. The pumpkins we carved for the Pumpkin Fest obviously had to be left there.

They also would be rotten by now, lol. So, I spent about an hour trying to decide what to carve. I really didn't know for a long time, til I remembered a pic I had in my random photos folder on my computer. It was of Jack Skellington, leaning on a huge jack-o-lantern with smaller jack-o-lanterns and pumpkins around him and a creepy fence behind him. So, I did my best to carve it out...

( Tender lovelings everywhere, would you like to have a good scare? )

I'll get a better picture (and a video) tomorrow night. I'm also gonna carve another pumpkin tomorrow. It took me, like, four hours to do that (scooping out, carving, etc.). *headdesk* I watched TV while I did that, perhaps that why it took me so long, lol. Title of this post is from What I Like About You. It's funnier in context, but it's hard to explain, lol. *shrugs* Anywho, we had waffles for dinner and they were delish!

Mom has a Facebook, and so does her old friend Cindy (from high school), and Cindy put up a picture of her and mom on a special Senior Night back when they were in high school. Mom and Cindy used to dress up like the Blues Brothers (I think they did it a couple of times), and they did so in the picture. They look awesome, let me say. And I had to show you guys cuz my mom is gorgeous! :D She's on the left...

( Back when THEY were in high school... )

Gotta love it, lol. TOMORROW'S HALLOWEEN! Get excited. ;]

Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

You're Like a Gay Yoda  
Hello people!

Nick came in and got me and Vicki up at about 11:30 this morning.

Vicki took a shower, then we all got ready to go and we headed out for an unexpected day-trip to a HUGE mall in Albany. We went straight to a Friendly's cuz we were hungry. It took an hour for us to get our food, but it was pretty good anywho. Then teh rents separated from me and Vicki and we went to Hot Topic. I found quite a few shirts I wanted, but I couldn't afford most of them. I wound up only getting one shirt.

It was an Aerosmith t-shirt and it was on sale! :D I also got some blue hair dye cuz Jen's gonna do my stripes this Wednesday! SO EXCITED! I got some eye-liner and a belt for Vicki. God, we went to so many stores after that, I can't really list everything, lol, I don't remember it all. I got a t-shirt from Wet Seal, a hat from Spencers, shoes and socks from Payless, a toothbrush to leave at home from CVS, and a bag from Borders.

WHEW. I got a buncha stuff for the Vickster, too, cuz she didn't have cash with her today. I wound up spending a total of $140! *shudders* That's the most I have EVER spent. I feel so guilty, lol. :\ Oh well. We met up with teh rents at Borders and I intended to get I Am America (And So Can You!) in paperback. I figured most of you would be doing that, too. Am I wrong? I'm beginning to think I was wrong, lol.

Dad, like, mocked me for it, then Vicki and mom convinced me to wait til Christmas to get it. We were gonna go home after that, but mom wanted to stop at JCPenney's to check out curtains, then she found a Kirkland's, which she and dad went to. Vicki and I were craving pretzels, so we went to Auntie Anne's and got some pretzel sticks. We also picked up some coffee from Starbucks, and it was DELICIOUS.

Holy crap, it was one of the best frappucinos I have ever had. It was super sweet and caramely (is that a word?...well, it is now) and made me so happy. XD We met back up with teh rents upstairs, but not before we were pestered by a mall cop, who asked us if we were 18 and had IDs with us. Oh, and he did so while I was on the phone with dad, trying to figure out where the fuck to meet up with him and mom.

It pissed me off so much. I wanted to say, "Excuse me, I'm on the fucking phone, asshole." Obviously, I didn't, but oh, how I wanted to. We finally went home and sifted through all the stuff we bought. It was fun! :D I love doing that. We watched Castle, then The Middle, then The Jeff Dunham Show. Title of this post is from the latter. Unfortunately, it wasn't that funny, which was a bit of a bummer. *shrugs*

We watched some Food Network shows about candy, so that was fun. XD Teh rents went to bed, Nick's upstairs, and Vicki and I are just chillin, watching Food Network. Okay, this is crazy late, so I'm gonna shut up now.

Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

P.S. The "what do you hear" thing in this post is a spoof my dad sang earlier today to the tune of "Hungry Eyes" (think about it...sing the chorus in your head, but use the words my dad made up).

See Me In the Morning for the Prize  
Hello people!

PUMPKIN FESTIVAL DAY OMG!!!

I was woken up at 6:30-ish this morning and immediately took my shower. I got dressed and ready to go and we left the house at 8:30. I got to ride in the back of dad's van, cuz there weren't any other seats. It was cool, I laid down with the pumpkins and fell asleep (eventually). Mom bought us breakfast (I had two hashbrowns and Diet Coke), and we listened to our burned CDs of Brian Regan and Dane Cook and whatnot.

It was SO MUCH FUN. I love our comedy CDs. <3 We got to the festival about an hour earlier than planned - around 11:00. Hannah, Colby (Nick's friends) and Nick went their own way, while mom, dad and I walked around together. We agreed to meet up at 4:00 later on. We were hungry, so we stopped at this little "family-style" restaurant. I got chicken nuggets, which weren't that good, but the fries were amazing!

And they had home-made rolls that were so delicious! After that, we walked around and just popped into whatever stores we passed. There was a chocolate shop that had some yummy-looking candy; I got two swiss mocha chocolates (or something like that...). They were pretty good. I bought a Pumpkin Fest t-shirt and mom got an ornament and mug. We checked out a lot of jewelry stands, but nothing looked good.

Also, they were kinda on the expensive side this year. *shrugs* Meh. S'not like I had a crapload of money to spend anyway. I got this awesome snack called a Bloomin' Apple, which is like the Bloomin' Onion at Outback, but it's an apple (obviously) covered in melted caramel. MMM, so good. We pretty much saw everything by 3:00 and met up with the rest of the gang early.

We decided to stop in at the movie theater in town, where they play cartoons for free all day. We watched Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner cartoons for two hours. Next, we got hot dogs and hamburgers, then chilled til 6:30-ish, when the sky got dark and the pumpkins were lit. We went over to ours and took pictures and video. Everyone kept commenting on mine and dad's. :} It was AWESOME. <333

In fact, a guy came up and commented on mine, and Colby said, "She carved it," and pointed to me. The guy was like, "That's amazing! You should win a prize for that." I laughed, and then he said the title of this post, which tickled me, lol. Yeah, it was fun. :] At about 7:30, we finally went on home. We all slept in the car for a bit and got home around 10:00. I made myself a waffle and some sausage cuz I was still hungry.

Dad and I talked about Green Mountain and how he would understand and support me if I found a two-year school that I'd rather attend. I explained that I hate how it feels like all I'm doing is busy-work and I'm not learning anything, and that I know most schools are like that, rather than being about learning. He said he completely understands how I feel about Green Mountain (and most other colleges, really).

So, yeah, I think next year, I'm gonna find a different school and finish out there. It's hard to explain, but it really feels like college is a waste of time. It's not about learning, ya know? They just want us to do paper after paper, all of which mean nothing, and they're not really teaching me. Whatever, I'll worry about it later. I'm gonna put up my Pumpkin Fest vids tonight, but I'll be doing a picspam tomorrow.

Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

None Shall Pass Before I Kick Your Ass  
Hello people!

Oh, man, I slept so well last night. My room just made me really happy, lol. <3

I woke up at 8:45 this morning and went downstairs. I took a shower and was feeling kinda sick, so I asked teh rents if I could take a few hours to sleep and just relax a little. They said sure, so I did. I only got about an hour and a half of sleep, but I did get to chill, which was nice. I watched some WifeSwap and then Full House. Then I went downstairs and made myself an egg and sausage sandwich.

I did some dishes, then made the salad for dinner. My Busted Tees shirts came in the mail today! :D They're awesome and they fit and I'm stoked. AND, they accidentally sent me two of each shirt; one of each was female, size large and one of each was male, size medium. The male ones fit me better, so I'm gonna give away the female ones, but I seriously doubt people at school will want them, so...I dunno.

I would offer them to you guys but I can't afford to pay the shipping. *shrugs* Sorry! :( Anywho, Nick's friends, Colby and Hannah, stopped by and we all carved pumpkins together. I was totally unsure of what to do, until I went up to my room and looked around at my stuff...

( I just needed a break... FROM WHAT? )

Whaddya think? :D I love it, I worked really hard on it. You can still see some pen-marks, unfortunately (I had to draw it on the pumpkin before carving it, of course), but it won't be as noticeable at night tomorrow when they do the jack-o-lantern count at the Pumpkin Fest. I said we're going to that, right? ...I think I did... Moving on, we all had spaghetti for dinner and now teh rents and I are watching TV.

We watched Bones, then The Middle, and now we're watching Glee. Title of this post is just a random joke from earlier. It's better out of context, lol. We gotta get up early tomorrow to get on the road, and I have no idea when we'll get back, so the blog's prolly gonna come kinda late, but I will have it up at some point. X]

Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*

Do Not Feed, Taunt or Molest the Alligators  
Hello people!

Last night, I slept on the couch yet again.

At 5:00, dad got me up and told me to go sleep in his and mom's room cuz they were officially getting up. I fell asleep pretty quickly and had some crazy dreams, though I only remember fleeting details. I was at school, but it was a totally different school, and we were separated into groups. Mine was red - we all were sposed to wear something red to our meeting, which we had to run to right away.

I did so and made it to the meeting, but I was a teeny bit late. I was sitting with a friend of mine, but I don't recall who... Then, I was in our dorm room (apparently, I was rooming with that friend of mine) and my old crush, Adam, was laying with me on this HUGE bed (it could easily fit six people, if not more). We were just next to each other, watching this show that was actually a surveillance camera which was monitoring a dorm building at our school.

I don't really know why or anything, I'm seriously not remembering a whole lot of this dream. I do remember, though, that Adam was uncharacteristically nice to me (usually, if we hang out or something, he jokingly mocks me and whatnot). He was just really sweet and he kept holding my hand and entwining his arm around mine. It was kinda awesome, lol. Then I woke up at about 12:30. *shakes head*

I went downstairs and said hi to dad before hopping in the shower. After that, dad informed me that he was going to Home Depot to pick up some wood for making window-frames and the windowsills in the living room. He was gone for about two hours. During that time, I did laundry, washed the dishes, watched a couple episodes of WifeSwap, then switched it over to ABC Family for Full House.

Yeah, I haven't done a whole lot today. I read some MyLifeIsAverage stories (where the title of this post came from). Those are always fun. Oh, last night, I swear on my life, I heard knocking against the wall to my left for a good half hour, then I heard a door opening (and scraping against carpeting) and someone walking down the hallway. But when I investigated, there was nobody there. *shudders*

I fucking hate night-time, lol. My stupid brain constantly plays tricks on me. I spent a good fifteen minutes playing "Threw It On the Ground" over and over, though, and I felt better. X] Yes, I'm silly. Anywho, I shall leave thee with this KICKASS new Bo Burnham song (not really safe for work or parents, so be careful)!
