I Need Your Help - Opinions, Guidance, Anything  
Hello people!

I've been thinking a lot lately about the ridiculous expense this house has caused us. We fix one thing and find two more problems, ya know? That's seriously exactly how it's been. Even with the grants and scholarships I'm getting (which actually aren't that many) for college, I owe $9,000 of tuition, not including all my other living expenses and everything I need for my dorm, not to mention school supplies.

I'm taking out a loan, which terrifies me cuz my family has a bad history with loans and credit. About a year ago, I suggested to my parents that I take a year off before college. I wanted to get a job and save up so I could pay for my own tuition (we've never had a college fund). Mom didn't want me to cuz she thought I would forget everything I learned in school. I understood, and we scrapped the idea.

Well, mom and dad have been stressing out to the point of crying because of how much we have to do to this house. Today, dad called my college to talk about what we owe. No one answered, but dialing the phone was enough to upset dad. Like I said, I've been thinking...and I think I might take a year off and just wait til next year for college. We could save money for the house and I could help out.

I could get a job and save up so much money for college for next year. I really want to help my parents and if I can save them money, god, I want to, but I keep crying when I think about it. What does that mean? Do I subconsciously really wanna go to college? Or do I really wanna help my familiy? That's not the point of this post, actually. The point is: what do you guys think? Should I still go to college?

Is it stupid of me to stay home? Or would it really hurt me if I took a year off? I think it would remove a lot of stress from the house, too. Nick wouldn't be too happy about it, I know that, but I wouldn't be constantly worried about failing or making enough money to pay for my necessities. I'm just...I'm torn, I don't know what to do. Can someone please tell me what I should do?

Mom, dad and I are gonna talk about this later. I just...I feel like I can be more confident if I know what you guys think.

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

He Likes to Take Up the Rear and She Says It's Deep  
Hello people!

What a horrid day today has been. Lots of little things, my friends, lots of little things.

As I said in my earlier post, I woke up at 5:00 today and was wide awake. I tried to go back to sleep, but I just couldn't. I watched the news and then last night's Jeopardy (which I DVR'd). I freaking ROCKED that, btw, lol (I know it was Kids Jeopardy, shut up). That actually put me in a fantastic mood for the morning. I watched the first ep of Stephen's Iraq week, which was hilarious.

Then I helped dad set up for the moving sale and went outside to man it with him. We watched Jumanji (cuz we're trying to sell a TV and dad set up a DVD on it so people could see how well the TV works), so that was fun. <3 David and Joss came to pick me up at 9:30 and we drove out to Yellow Springs (in Dayton) to see Jen! :D It was awesome, I loved seeing them all again.

You see, Jen was at this ecocamp thingy for the past month or so. She showed us around her campground, if you will, and all the birds they have in a safe environment (each and every one of them was injured in such a way that they couldn't survive on their own). Then we decided to go for a hike. Now, I'm not a hiker in the slightest, but I'm also not one to object, so we hiked.

It was painful. And I mean painful, lol. I didn't exactly have the best shoes (they're slip-ons made of canvas), but they're all I have other than my flip flops (which I almost wore today *PHEW*). It was a beautiful hike, for sure, there were TONS of trees, lots of shade and cool air and it was nice, but, ya know, I'm used to sitting in my room all day, relaxing and not doing much of anything.

I also packed all of my socks already, so I didn't wear any today, and my shoes wore the skin off the back of my feet. After the hike, we went to this place renowned for their ice cream; Young's Jersey Dairy Farm. It's pretty damn good, I must say. I got a cone with Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream. MMM. We sat outside and chatted and laughed and ate our ice cream, lol.

Unfortunately, their waffle cones tend to have open bottoms, so my ice cream melted right through and dripped onto my brand new shirt that I have been saving for over a month in order to wear it when I go out with my friends. And in the car, I tried to open this strawberry-flavored carbonated water that David got for us and it fizzed all over my jeans - the only pants I left un-packed.

We dropped Jen back off at her camp and then David drove us home. He and Joss dropped me off first. I decided to go back to the garage sale cuz we were back by 2:00 and the sale wasn't over til 5:00. It had rained (twice), apparently, and dad informed me that half the stuff got soaked. I went inside to change my clothes and feed Celtic (and check my email and Twitter).

Then I went back outside and sat down on one of the chairs in the garage. Only after having sat there for about ten minutes did I realize that it was soaking wet and I had just ruined a second pair of pants (my freaking pajama pants). I know it's just water, but I HATE being wet. I hate it. So I was really pissed off about that. I came back inside, un-packed a pair of pants and put those on.

I re-joined dad and sat with him for about an hour before I decided I was too tired to plaster on a smile for strangers. So I went to my room and tried to take a nap. Alas, that didn't work out. Two hours later, Nick came to get me for dinner. I haven't eaten anything all day, so you'd think I'd be starving. But no. After a couple bites, I felt like I was gonna chuddy, so I stopped eating.

Now I'm laying (lying?) in bed, desperately hoping I can fall asleep cuz holy fuck, I really don't wanna be conscious anymore. Don't get me wrong, I loved being with my friends today, and even my family was pretty damn nice, I just feel like shit. I'm starting to think maybe my birth control pills are fucking up my mood/stomach. If such is the case, I might have to stop taking them...maybe...

Although, I do know these kinds of symptoms are to be expected, so I hope they just subside soon. Title of this post is about David and Joss, lol. See, when we were trekking through the forest, David kept walking behind all of us, so Joss mentioned that he keeps taking up the rear, then Joss commented on how deep one of the rivers was, lol, and of course, we all giggled. X]

I just found out I'll be internet-less for, like, four days, which makes me wanna bawl my eyes out (I know, I know, that's stupid, but I don't really give a fuck). I love the internet, I love blogging every day, I love obsessively checking my mail and my Twitter. I don't wanna be without it for so long. Stupid fucking moving. :'( Oh, AND, my dumbfuck of an uncle is coming by tomorrow and I don't want to see him.

Okay. Time to rest. I'll prolly wake up in two hours. *shrugs*

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

I Have Come Back to Life!  
Hello people!

I dunno if you guys have noticed, but there's kinda been an LJ Drought lately. Not just that; there's been an all-around internet drought. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like EVERYTHING is lacking lately; LJ, Twitter, hell even YouTube.

It's freaking painful. I'm so bored out of my mind lately cuz nobody's around. I try to write, but nothing comes out with no one around to distract me. I've played every game I have a million and one times. Nothing new is on TV.

It sucks. I miss everyone. :( Please, somebody re-start the internet.

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

Like the Adorable Way He Steals Water From Little Girls  
Hello people!

Gaw, I'm in a spontaneously bad mood today. There's really no reason for it, I just feel lousy. >:[

Last night, Nick and I stayed up til 1:00 and played MGS2 together! It was so much fun, I really love hanging out with him sometimes. :] I woke up at 9:45-ish this morning. I said g'morning to teh rents and we watched Confessions of a Shopaholic. It was cute, if painfully predictable, lol. I played with the kitten a bit, then went to my room and kinda just lazed about.

I watched some TV, played MGS (up until the REX/Liquid battle cuz I can't seem to freaking beat it, which is driving me effing crazy), etc. I felt super-miserable after the hundredth time of trying to beat REX/Liquid, so I took a nap. I woke up about an hour ago and thaaaaat's about it. The days get more and more uneventful as they go, people. I'm bored with life right now.

Title of this post is from Hannah Montana (don't judge me). Thanks for all the advice in the poll, guys! YOU ROCK. And now, I give you a video cuz there is nothing else to say, lol. Here's KassemG. ILH. <3

Asps...Very Dangerous...You Go First  
Hello people!

Oh gosh, you guys. Today was terrible. Such an awful day.

Um, let's start from the beginning. I slept through it, but around 4:00 this morning, Nick discovered that a few bitches trashed our yard and driveway. They covered it in yoghurt and maxi pads (yes, fucking pads), TP'd our trees, covered mom and dad's cars in yoghurt and lipstick, and wrote swears and slandering statements against Nick in chalk all over the driveway.

Nick called the police, which is brilliant. I honestly don't think I would have been coherent enough to even think of that if that happened to me at 4:00 in the morning. He woke up mom and dad and they all went outside to talk to the police. Our neighbors across the street, who are wonderful people, said that they saw three girls with ski masks on, leaving our property.

Two of Nick's friends came over (he called them) to help clean up (how sweet is that? <3). Teh rents and bro cleaned up everything and went back to sleep. There was a note on the driveway in chalk that said, "Derf (his nickname), you should've said no." I don't know what that means, and Nick doesn't seem to, either, but these girls must've known Nick well if they called him "Derf."

I would just like to say that this stuff makes me hate the entire human race. How can anyone do something like that? No matter how much you hate someone, if you pull a stunt like that, you're not just hurting that one person, you're hurting their whole family. I can't even express to you how much acts like that make me so disgusted with people. I mean, teens think that's fucking funny.

Not all teens, of course, but at least half the ones I know in RL would find that hilarious. It's NOT amusing, it's NOT cool, it's hurtful and stupid and if it ever happens to me and I see who did it, I will hunt that person down and torture them. *breathes* So, I woke up at 9:30, when the power went off completely (causing my fan to stop running). I got up to find out what was going on.

Apparently, our electricity provider was doing a test and shut off EVERYTHING. Usually, if the power goes out, my iPod dock stays on (though I don't know how...) but it didn't this time. It was insane, guys, mom was trying to get ready to go (make-up, hair, etc.) and she had to light candles to do so! After about half an hour, the power came back on, so we finished getting ready and left.

Mom and I went to the vet place where she had to drop off some brochures, then we went to Sonic. Well, not only was the Sonic we were going to not open, but it was torn apart and the space was for sale. So, we decided to go to Burger King instead, which was less than fantastic, of course. Oh, so, we were going to go to Grove City next. It was about forty minutes away.

Mom had to take a left to get where she was going, but when she got up to her turn, the entire road was blocked off for a fair. Guys, this day has just been one stupid, shit thing after another. Crap like that happened all morning! So much bad stuff happened, I can't even remember everything, but it was ridiculous, like we were in a movie. Mom took me to get a coffee to cheer me up.

We dropped off some papers at the doctor's office so she could fill them out for my college (I forgot to bring them yesterday), then we went to mom's first appointment. I listened to music and slept for 40 minutes and then we came home. I watched some TV and played a little Splinter Cell (cuz seriously, I needed it, it's like therapy for me) and mom left for her next two appointments.

And that has been today. I am so done with this day, it's insane, people. I dunno how much longer I'm gonna stay awake, I'd like to just pretend today never happened. Um, something good is that I finished packing last night. Everything in my room is DONE. I feel so good about it, lol. I found out, though, that one of the supporting beams of my bed is broken in half.

My bed dips, and I never really understood why, I kinda just figured it was cuz I haven't flipped the mattress in a while or something. I really have no idea how the damn thing broke, but I'm not happy about it, lol. The good thing is, it should be pretty easy to replace, so I don't have to get a new frame or anything, lol. That's about it. Oh, yeah, and RIP Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. :(

Still Trying to Maintain Sanity on the Scary-Go-Round  
Hello people!

Today has been rough. Not bad, just...tiring.

Mom woke me up around noon. I quickly took a shower then went and helped mom in the basement. We spent about two hours down there til dad came home from the store and Nick came down to help. We were down there til about 4:00. We found this book of Mad Libs that we'd filled in and we sat there for half an hour, reading them aloud and laughing hysterically.

That was really fun! :] After that, we basically chilled out. Fed and played with the kitty, printed off some college papers, chilled out and such. Following dinner, I talked to mom about her childhood. I don't really remember exactly how we got on that topic, but it was really sad and upsetting and I spent about an hour crying. Then we watched Wipeout and I was happy again.

Oh, last night, the Strangers With Candy movie was on. It was funnier than I remember, but I still think the show is better. X] Then, after that, Team America: World Police was on, uncut, unedited and uncensored. I'd never seen it before, but I remember reading that Daran Norris was in it, so I watched it. It was actually pretty hilarious. Stupid, but funny. And Daran Norris said, "suck my cock" a bunch of times, so, WIN. ;]

That's kinda it. Today's been uneventful. I'm so tired and so out of it today. My feet are killing me after standing on our dumbass concrete floor in the basement. I desperately don't want to work down there anymore, but we still have so much to do. :( I really don't have much else to say, and this is incredibly late as it is, so I'm just gonna stick you guys with a video, lol. <3



^^^ Inspired by a recent fandom!secret. X] Title of this post is from Wipeout. OH OH! Thanks for the wonderful, awesome comments you guys left for my profile! :D I'm gonna collect 'em and put 'em in there tonight! <3

I, Uh...I Couldn't Sleep, I Was, Uh... Too Sexy?  
Hello people!

God, what a shitty day today has been. I hate it when a bunch of small things happen that make the whole day crap, ya know?

I had a dream that I was in a cooking class and we had just finished taking an exam (I've never taken a cooking class...). Phil Hartman was a classmate of mine (WTF?) but he was an adult. I know, so weird, but kinda awesome. XD He was himself, so I was all excited about meeting him. And he sat next to me! <3 The teacher was this really quiet, petite, timid woman.

Apparently, I had lent her some tupperware and serving dishes and such, and mom wanted me to get them back. The room had these shelves up on and against every wall, with dishes and tupperware piled to the ceiling. I went around the room gathering the ones I thought were mine. I noticed a few bowls that I thought might be mine but I wasn't positive.

Phil and this girl who was my friend, I guess, came up behind me and Phil whispered to me that I should be sure which ones are mine and which aren't, cuz the teacher would get really upset if I took her stuff. I panicked a little since I was so unsure and put the bowls back. Then I was suddenly home, searching through my bag for a project I'd started for a class final. Then I woke up. *shrugs*

I set my alarm for 7:00 so I could feed the kitten, let the dog out, and free the cats from their laundry room prison. But for some reason, my alarm didn't go off til 9:00 this morning. I have no idea what happened, but it threw my whole day outta whack. I was still exhausted after I took care of all the animals, so I went back to bed til 11:30, when I officially got up.

I fed the baby again and let her run around for a while. Around 1:00, I finally got online. I've been watching The Nanny most of the day, of course. I intended to take my little motorized scooter to Kroger to pick up some groceries and I was hoping Nick would go with me cuz I need someone to watch over the scooter while I'm in the store since I don't have a lock for it.

BUT, [a] it started raining, and rain+motor=bad idea, and [b] Nick figured it'd be more fun to hang out with his dumbass girlfriend instead of help me. So that's what he did. I got the mail and found a package from Green Mountain (college) waiting for me. I thought it was the "tech agreement" that I never fucking got that allows me to register for classes online.

Boy, was I wrong. I got an environmentally-themed book called, The World Without Us, which sounds totally crappy to me, AND I have a worksheet to do on the book. Seriously? I mean, SERIOUSLY?! I thought I wouldn't have to do summer work anymore. I can't believe it, and it really pissed me off. And yes, I'm a lazy ass, but all of you should know that by now, lol.

So, then, I went to feed Celtic again and something happened with the bottle we feed her with and it spewed out formula all over my favorite shirt. Not only that, but the exact same thing happened to me yesterda. I hand-washed the shirt yesterday cuz I still wanted to wear it, but I gave up today and just put on a big comfy shirt and sweatpants.

Following that, I was so upset with the day that I got two Klondike bars, put 'em in a bowl, and covered them in whipped cream. I know it was sooooo unhealthy and bad for my diet but frankly, I don't give a flying fladoodle. Mom called me and said that she and dad went to Friendly's, which used to be my fave restaurant in Connecticut. She said she wishes I'd gone with them.

I wish so, too. But Nick would've burned the house down or something, I just know it. And I know this is stupid and totally out of character for me, but I'm kinda jealous that my brother, one of the meanest, lamest, most unattractive people I've ever known, somehow has a girlfriend and yet, I don't have a boyfriend. I mean, I don't think I'm a big catch or anything, but I think I'm at least better than Nick.

That sounds terrible, but whatever. *headdesk* I'll give you three guesses where the title of this post came from, and two of them don't count. I'm feeling nauseated and tired and I'm thinking of going to bed early.

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

We're Americans; We Don't Plan, We Do!  
Hello people!

I know I had dreams last night, but I can't remember what they were about...grawr. I was woken up by mom at 11:00 today. Not bad, considering that I've been getting up at 8 and 9 almost every day for the past week. I was told (via yelling) to do the dishes, so I had to do those. Then I took a shower. Not long after that, Nick came home from his friend's house.

We had a late lunch around 1:00; I had two egg sandwiches with sausage and Nick had two burgers. Nick joined me in my room to watch me play Sphinx for a while and that was actually really fun. He's cool to hang out with sometimes. X] Then we decided to go see Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, which was playing at 2:40.

It was awesome. Hilarious and cute and awesome. I think I've developed a little crush on Ben Stiller, lol. He's kinda cute and he's fairly athletic/built and he's so funny...yeah, I like him a little, lol. X3 And Hank Azaria. OH GOSH, is there anything the man can't do? How adorable is he? Soooooooo adorable. And all the Egyptian stuff was so cool! :D Title of this post is from the movie.

After that, we came home and got into a fight and now Nick and I are hiding in our rooms and mom and dad are out in the living room. When something goes wrong, and by that I mean, when Nick or I get pissy over doing something or somesuch stupidity, Nick inevitably leaves the room. I stay to finish doing whatever I was sposed to do, and since Nick's gone, dad decides to yell at me.

He constantly does that; I'm always getting yelled at after Nick pisses dad off, even if I've done nothing. Even if I've just done something great and unexpected (like doing the dishes without being asked or something similar), I get yelled at because of something Nick did. It's hugely unfair and I really hate that dad does that, but I spose I won't have to deal with that for much longer.

That's really about it. Noms post number two for the TDS_RPS FanFic Awards is UP, so please go nom! I'm gonna go back to playing Sphinx and drown my sorrows in ice cream, lol. Ya know, and I hate to say this cuz it sounds like I'm asking for attention or something, but I feel like the more I write on here, the more futile and pointless it gets.

I feel like I'm not only boring you guys, but that this is a waste of my time, and I desperately don't wanna feel like that. Do you guys ever feel that way? How do you get over that feeling? I wrote about two pages of a new story last night and it felt so good. I'm gonna write some more tonight. P.S. The Nanny marathon was AWESOME last night. ;]

Got Me Through My Darkest Hour  
Hello people!

Dad annoyed me and left for work without saying goodbye and now I feel guilty as fuck. And it's raining, which makes me feel sort of melancholy (kind of a "listen to Fleetwood Mac/REO Speedwagon" type of mood).

And so, I present you with lyrics that I feel fit me so well right now, in regards to geographical location and where I am in life, rather than a relationship.

As soon as you are able
Woman I am willing
To make the break that we
Are on the brink of
My cup is on the table
Our love is spilling
Waiting here for you to
Take and drink of

So if you're tired of the
Same old story
Turn some pages
I will be here when you are ready
To roll with the changes

I knew it had to happen
Felt the tables turnin'
Got me through my darkest hour

I heard the thunder clappin'
Felt the desert burnin'
Until you poured on me
Like a sweet sun-shower

So if you're tired of the
Same old story
Turn some pages
I will be here when you are ready
To roll with the changes

Roll with the changes (repeat)


- REO Speedwagon, "Roll With the Changes"

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

If You Lose Your Thumb, They Replace It With Your Big Toe  
Hello people!

I woke up late to my alarm this morning. I still felt like shit today.

Myth is still incredibly boring. Blahblahblah. In math, we went over the homework, which no one understood. He even said, "Maybe my giving you that assignment without instruction was a bad idea." I wanted to say, "Gee, YA THINK?!?!" Obviously, I didn't, but still. He's such an idiot, sometimes. That homework isn't due til tomorrow now. *facepalm* But all the answers are in the back of the book, so, I'm done, lol.

We didn't have our test today in AP Gov. cuz we hadn't finished going over the chapter, so we did that today. Kinda. We only got a little bit done, but I don't think Messick's willing to push the test back any further than she already has. BUT, that means the homework I didn't do yesterday isn't due til tomorrow and a friend lent me hers to copy (we all copied off each other cuz it's a huge assignment). <3

In AmLit, we read a bunch of short stories which I finished in class, even though it was homework. I also read about forty pages in AAOK today, and I've only got, like, ten pages left! I really love it, I wanna get Paper Towns or Looking for Alaska ASAP. Robbins was back in MindCandy with a hair-do like none before; it looked like a Jerri Curl, to be quite honest, and it was kinda repulsive, LOL.

But at least he's back. It was nice to hear his voice. And Dewey has jury duty for the next two weeks! :DDD I wish Cecil was subbing for her, how AMAZERING would THAT be?! Beyond description, that's how. But, we have some lady I've never seen before subbing. She's nice, though, so it's okay, lol. I read more AAOK in class cuz we had no assignment. It is AWESOME.

Oh, the title of this post is something Kat (classmate) told us because Shampel (*glare*) started talking about some guy he knew who cut up his hand with some kind of wood-working machine. I'm leaving out details cuz it was gross, but he didn't spare us cuz he's just nice like that (*haaaaaaaaaate*). I swear to god, I want nothing more than to strangle that stupid, disgusting man. I hate him so much.

Ahem. Anywho, dad picked me up and took me to get coffee from Speedway. It was delicious and hot. An aside: it was FREEZING today. To the point that it fucking snowed. I know at least half of you got snow, too. This is fucking ridiculous, guys. UGH. So, after the coffee, dad and I were gonna drop Tyrone off at that computer guy's shop. Once we got there, I started crying again. *shakes head*

I almost started crying on the bus this morning, then again in math class. *sigh* Well, as it turns out, the guy wasn't even THERE today. He also didn't answer his phone yesterday, so now I'm concerned that maybe his business went under, since it was small and dinky and I honestly doubt he could've kept it going on his own...I hope I'm wrong, though, cuz I don't trust Geek Squad AT ALL.

I mean, I believe they're capable, but I've heard stories about them (from the local news) WAY overcharging or not entirely fixing the problem or keeping one's electronics for much longer than necessary. But if this guy's business is gone, then we don't really have a choice. We're also gonna buy an external hard drive. Dad has wanted one for a while, apparently, and my fuck-up has inspired him.

We went to Giant Eagle next. I convinced dad to get me this incredibly adorable little puppy keychain and OMG it's so cute. But I have to wait for Easter to actually "have" it, lol. After that, dad and I went home. I spent the afternoon listening to some music on this old computer (after downloading the CD I freaking uploaded a couple days ago) and being harassed by dad and Nick about the lameness of my music.

I really miss Tyrone already. Like, all my music is on him, and I don't have a stereo cuz I had him, ya know? So he's my only means of listening to music. And it really, really fucking sucks. And I hate this fucking computer. Hate it, hate it, hate it. It moves at the speed of a glacier and it barely loads photobucket and it keeps telling me I have mail EVEN THOUGH I DON'T. Burning. Fiery. HATRED.

Okay, I'm sorry, I'm done. The longer I'm conscious, the more I hate everything. Lots of good TV (Chuck, 24, Castle) with delicious men (Zachary Levi, Kiefer Sutherland, Carlos Bernard, Nathan Fillion) on tonight. Hopefully, that'll put me in a better mood.

EDIT: OH GUESS WHAT?!?! Kurt Ludlow (news anchor...remember?) posed a question on Twitter asking us who we were gonna root for tonight during the basketball game, and I replied with, "I'll be rooting against both teams as the game bumped one of my favorite shows. I hate basketball." AND IT GOT ON THE NEWS! :D

I think I explained this the first time this happened (yes, this is the second time! <333), but it was a while ago. Kurt poses a question on Twitter to everyone following him and he picks three responses he likes best and reads them/shows them on the news every night. That pretty much fixed my bad mood, lol. Let's hope it lasts!

Your Religious Commitment is an Inspiration to Us All  
Hello people!

I'm writing this in the living room. *sigh* Hate this fucking computer.

Um. Okay, so, I had a dream about Sam and Dean and food but that's all I remember. I set my alarm for 8:30 cuz I wanted to get up today (I was gonna do last-minute homework). I ended up turning it off and going back to sleep, but I got up an hour later, which is still not bad, imo. So, I got up at 9:30 and got on my computer, of course. I came out to get some Sunny D (this will haunt me for the rest of my life).

I went back to my computer for another two hours. Around 11:00, John Green (on Twitter) announced that he was broadcasting live from an airport on BlogTV.com, so I clicked the link he posted and actually got to chat a little with him! :D I asked him if he knew of Bo Burnham or Toby Turner and if he liked them, and he said yes to Bo, but no to Toby, and that he thought Bo was pretty clever.

Then I asked if he ever read Jurassic Park, and he said yes, he read a ton of Crichton when he was in college (SQUEE!). The last question I asked was how long it took for his first book to get published. He said it took him five years to write it originally, then six months to edit it for his publisher, then another two years to edit it over and over again until it was completely ready to be published.

At about 11:30, I went to take a drink of Sunny D and accidentally knocked my glass over and SPILLED ORANGE JUICE ALL OVER TYRONE. It went under the keys and through this little port hole thingy in the front of Tyrone and he froze. I immediately started to clean him up, obviously, frenzied and out of my mind, and then I tried to turn him off. For the first time ever, he would not turn off.

I took his battery out and unplugged him and finished cleaning him off. Then I tried turning him back on again (plugged him back in) and it was a no-go. Big surprise. I took him out to the living room and informed teh rents of what happened, fighting back tears. We called the guy who fixed Tyrone the first time (I kept his card), but he didn't answer the phone (I would assume he's not open on Sundays).

An argument broke out between teh rents (dad was slightly insensitive about my problem just cuz he wasn't in a good mood at all this entire weekend) and dad left to the grocery store. Mom and I had an hour-long conversation about dad and my grades (which mom didn't freak about AT ALL! :D <333) and life and success and failure and saving my hard drive and all that stuffs.

Mom hugged me while I cried for a good ten minutes about Tyrone. I've cried multiple times since then and I'm still shaking. I feel nauseous and all I wanna do is sleep and sleep and sleep til everything's back to normal and Tyrone works again (which isn't likely, btw). Look, I realize I have probably an unhealthy attachment to my computer (for fuck's sake, I refer to it as a "he"), but my life is on Tyrone.

My stories (every fucking story I've worked on since I GOT Tyrone), my school work, my pictures of myself and my family and vacation AND Kiefer and Stephen and Jon and the like (endless folders full of pictures), my music and downloads and CD's that were ripped (Lonely Island and everything I uploaded yesterday), all my fucking videos (every. single. one.). I need a new computer, unfortunately.

Let's face it, though: Tyrone is three or four years old, which is pretty old for a laptop. He's my baby and I love him and I can't believe I killed him. I kinda hate myself for being so stupid. *sigh* Anyway, um, so, I spent the next hour or two reading An Abundance of Katherines (AAOK). It was nice to escape into someone else's hopeless moments and confusing life for a while. And I miss reading. <3

I talked mom into taking me out for food cuz it hurts to just be in the house. We went to Max and Erma's. I got tortilla soup (so delicious) and chicken fingers and a glass of Cherry Coke. It was really good and I felt okay for an hour or so. Then mom and I went home and I broke down in the car to the point of shaking again. I'm really not handling this well at all. And it's only gonna get worse.

I haven't gotten any homework done cuz I told mom and dad I didn't have any and it requires a computer to do it. But I don't care. If anyone asks tomorrow, I'm telling them what happened and how traumatizing it is/was and I doubt I'll be getting much sleep tonight. Mom wants me to take a pill. Title of this post is something Colin said to Hassan in AAOK. It was hilarious in context, as Colin was being sarcastic.

There's iced tea in the fridge and ice cream in the freezer. Time to drown myself in sugar.

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

EDIT: I meant to say that I called Best Buy's Geek Squad and they said it's highly likely that they'll be able to save my hard drive, which means everything I listed above, lol. I sure as fuck hope so.

I Can't Complain, But Sometimes I Still Do  
Hello people!

I just wanted to post real quick to say that *knock on wood* I think Tyrone is officially dead.

I'll go into more detail later this evening, but basically, I spilled some orange juice on him and he won't turn on.

I called the Geek Squad and they said that it's highly likely we can recover everything saved on my hard drive. <3

I'll prolly have to buy a new Tyrone, though. I won't call TOD yet, as we're gonna get Ty checked out, but still.

So, yeah, just wanted to say that. I'll post my blog tonight on the living room computer.

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

What Is It? I'll Say a Prayer! ...Please, Don't  
Hello people!

We watched Supernatural last night. God, it sucked so bad. Am I the only person (aside from [info]fangirl1981, of course) who hates this season? It's so bad. Dean's being such a pussy and Sam's the one who wants to kick some ass. It's really annoying. I'm giving it one last chance to redeem itself with next week's ep, and if it's shit like the rest of the season has been, I'm dropping the show.

We also watched Ugly Betty, which was hilarious. I love Mark and Amanda. They're the greatest, lol. Oh, and I only realized last night that one of the characters (Archie) was in "My Cousin Vinny!" :D I LOVE THAT MOVIE! This guy on Twitter messaged me talking about chemtrails and that the government is poisoning us. I told him I'm not a conspiracy theorist and he said he wasn't either. Haha. Yeah. Right.

That actually frustrated me; I hate conspiracy theories. I'm actually pretty trusting of our government, though I've been told I shouldn't be. I dunno, I like the government. And while a conspiracy theory where the government poisons us through trails left by airplanes is kind of a cool idea for a story, I don't think it's actually taking place. Do any of you? Are there other conspiracy theories you guys believe in?

Anywho, I know I had a TON of dreams last night, but I can't remember any of them. Oh, wait, there was one where mom, dad and I were in a grocery store and the news was playing on a TV in the corner of the room and it said, "Man gets cut in the head by a box." And I was like, "WHAT?" so I watched it and the news was downplaying everything, saying he was just slightly hurt by the lid of a box.

Turns out he had a hole cut in his head by a boxcutter, which he somehow "ran into," as he said on the news. I dunno why I dreamt that, but. Yeah. Whatever. Um, so, I woke up around 10:30-ish and took a shower. Then I painted my toenails blue (:D) and listened to some music til about 12:20, when mom, dad and I left to go see "Knowing." For my thoughts on that (and spoilers), check the post before this one.

After the movie, we went to Wal*Mart and picked up some groceries. I was severely depressed after the movie (and still am), so I was kinda moping around the store and I cried again in the car on the way home. I went straight to my room once we got home, wrote my review and thoughts, then played some Splinter Cell and listened to some cheery music. I can't get over my bad mood, though.

You're caught up. I dunno what we're eating for dinner, but I dunno if I'm gonna eat anyway. I feel like locking myself in my room all night and going to bed right now. I kinda don't wanna be conscious right now, lol. Regarding the Twitter thing from last night, the dude still hasn't taken the picture of the shirt yet, so I dunno when the re-tweeting will commence, but it'll be soonish, and I will be posting it once it happens.

I imagine he has to actually make the shirt, lol, which takes more than a few hours, ya know? So, yeah. Oh, um, title of this post is from "Knowing." It's kinda hard to explain. I'm gonna, um. I don't know. Play more Splinter Cell? I was gonna write, but it takes more thought and focus than I'm able to produce right now. I guess I'll watch TV.

I Don't Want to Know What My Future Holds  
Hello people!

Um, okay, normally, I would include what I'm about to write with tonight's post, but seeing as how it's gonna be chock full'a spoilers for "Knowing" (which we just saw), I'm making a separate post so as not to spoil anyone that doesn't want to be spoiled.

Serious spoilers (i.e.: about the first hour of the movie, so if you're gonna see the movie, DON'T READ THIS) )

Non-spoilery movie poster, to separate the spoilers from my thoughts )

My thoughts (one spoiler, though if you read the above, you know about it already) )

I'm sorry for this, I just had to get it off my chest. It's really driving me crazy right now. Um. I'm gonna go play some Splinter Cell and try to stop thinking about it.

Everything Else is Just Background Noise  
Hello people!

MY PHONE CAME TODAY! :D

So, 24 last night was intense. I won't say a whole lot cuz I know you guys don't watch it, but one of the main (and one of my favorite) characters died and I cried for at least 20 minutes. I started crying again when the show ended and I was heading to bed. I know it's silly and it's just a character, but god, he was so great, and he's been in Jack's crew since season 4. RIP Bill Buchanan. <3

*sigh* Anywho. I actually slept very well last night. First time I slept well in, like, a week. It was nice. I set my alarm for 6:00, but I was still really tired, so I slept for another hour or so. I got up at 7:00-ish and watched a couple eps of 24 before mom took Nick and me to school. We had to leave kinda early cuz mom had an appointment, so I brought my PSP and played some Splinter Cell til school started.

In myth, we did some notes. Blahblahblah. We had part one of our test in math today. OMG, it was ridiculous. I'm not going into all the stupidness but basically, Mr. P completely spaced on telling us that we could use our calculators for part of it, so it took us all way too long and no one finished. We have part two tomorrow, AND the rest of part one. *shakes head* He's such a doofus. And what we did today was hard. :(

AP Gov. was crappy, we had the multiple choice part of our test and I don't think I did all that well. Meh. Nothing new. And, s'my own fault, I should've studied more. *shrugs* Whatevski. In AmLit, we did guided notes. I love guided notes cuz they don't require much thought, lol. But Mrs. Jasper was saying the notes aloud and we wrote them down, and during that, people would not STFU. I really hate the people in that class, too.

I just can't believe how annoying everyone is. Moving on. We didn't do anything in MindCandy, so I played some more Splinter Cell. Dad picked me up and took me home. Mom was there for a minute, but she had to leave right away. My phone was waiting for me on the coffee table! :D I haven't activated it or set it up yet cuz I'm trying to transfer all my pictures onto the computer from my RAZR.

I've also gotta transfer every single contact by hand, which is somewhere around 70 numbers. *shakes head* It's gonna take a while, unfortunately, but it'll be worth it. X] I've basically just been transfering pictures onto my computer for the past three-ish hours. That and watching 24, of course. Nick's downloading an update on my iPod so I can FINALLY put apps on it. :D WHOOT!

Um, fairly short entry tonight. Oh! Title of this post is something George Mason (yes, from 24) said. "Find something you like, do it. Because everything else is just background noise." I admit, it's not funny, but it's true, lol. X]

There's So Much Time and So Little to Do...Strike That, Reverse It  
Hello people!

SNOW DAY SNOW DAY SNOW DAY! <3 AND, MOM'S BIRTHDAY MOM'S BIRTHDAY MOM'S BIRTHDAY! XD I didn't get up til 10:34 this morning. I woke up once at six-something, I think, but I didn't get up.

I came out to the living room and no one was there. I looked outside and the car was still there and it was still snowing. I guessed everyone had just gone back to sleep. I was gonna play Splinter Cell for a while, but Rexxy started meowing outside my door and it prompted mom to come to the hallway, which made me come out and say hi. I chilled with her and dad in their room for a few minutes, then mom took a shower.

I watched some TV and got online, then I took my shower, lol. We kinda just wasted time until 1:30 and then decided to brave the bad weather and head to Blockbuster. We rented Pineapple Express, which I'm gonna watch this weekend. I CAN'T WAIT. Gary Cole + gun-shooting = MADE OF CRAZEH WIN. Then we had to stop at Kroger and pick up some groceries. I grabbed a coffee, which was delicious.

We went home to drop off the groceries, then went back on out to dinner, cuz it was about 5:00 by then. Nick came with us. He ruined it for me, like he ruins everything. Dinner was good, but yeah. Nick was an ass. Oh, guess what? Dad bought this update for him on iTunes and ever since, Nick's been downloading shit on his iPod. The shit isn't free, but Nick seemed to think it was.

He has spent, like, 60 bucks of dad's money downloading shit! :O I haven't downloaded a SINGLE THING yet! And now I can't cuz Nick has ruined dad's thoughts of iTunes. Ya know, I don't care that I can't download anything, I guess, it's not that important to me, what I care about is that Nick ruins EVERYTHING. He just has no concern for anything or anyone but himself!

Another example of Nick's dumbassness: he wants a tattoo. But it's not just a tattoo. It's a full-length sleeve. As his first tattoo. He is NOT gonna be able to handle it. We keep telling him that and that his idea is retarded for his first one and that he should get a smaller one. But he won't listen cuz he's a douche-monger. I'm sorry, but I hope it hurts so he stops being so stupid. Maybe the pain will put some sense in him.

Sorry. I'm not in a good mood, lol. Um. Anyway. After dinner, we went to Target, but we didn't get much of anything. Mom got some new curtains, which she wanted, so yay for her, lol! :] I got candy, which is cool, I guess, but I wish I couldn't gotten the new Sims game for the computer, "Sims - Apartment Life." I really want that. :] It would be fun, lol. And would make me think of NYC. XD <3

Uh, yeah, then we came home. Willy Wonka was on ABC Family tonight. Love that movie. The title of this post is from the movie, of course. It might be paraphrased, but I'm not sure, lol. *shrugs* I'm sorry this is so late, we got home really late.

Ya know, I feel so guilty about being pissy on mom's birthday, but I can't help it and Nick just gets more and more fucking annoying with each passing second. And the worst part is, I always try to be as happy and appeasing as possible on anyone else's birthday cuz Nick always ruins mine and I hate having birthdays destroyed with anger.

So now I feel even WORSE. And I have this unexplainably uneasy feeling about going to school tomorrow. Have you ever had that? It's not that I don't wanna go, I just feel like something really bad is gonna happen if I do. I dunno, it's happened to me before and it's usually spot-on, so I'm worried AND guilty.

I'm totally done with this post and this day.

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

Writer's Block: Comfort Food  
Hello people!

When times are tough or you're feeling down, what's the one food you can count on to make you feel better?


View 504 Answers

Mashed potatoes. Or buttered toast. Depends on if I want REALLY salty (mashed taters, as we get them from the store and they are incredibly salty) or just mildly salty (butter!). If I'm sick, buttered toast and Sunny D is the best way to make me feel good. If I'm just depressed, mashed potatoes are totally my feel-good food. Damn it. Now I want fucking mashed potatoes.

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

P.S. Why don't I get email notifications if there are comments left on Writer's Block entries? It's ridiculously annoying.

Sleep Is to Bed As "Blank" Is to Amazering  

Hello people!

I don't get that title. I mean, I kinda do, but I don't. Ya know? No, you prolly don't.

I should warn you that I doubt much of this post will make sense. It's just a short, quick post before I go to bed.

I feel like doing something amazering, but I don't know what. Like, monumentally cool. Or fun. I wanna write, as I said earlier, or draw, or play a video game, or post something huge like a pics album, or meme it up, or SOMETHING, but I can't think of anything for any of the above listed items.

Writing: no ideas. At all. And the stories that I've started? I can't bring myself to actually write words (for reasons unknown to my stupid emtpy brain).

Drawing: I suck at drawing. Like, epically fail at it. My bro got the drawing genes. But I really wanna draw my muse, as I see her. That's totally random and weird, I know, but I thought of it tonight, and how awesome would it be to have your own muse? Surrsly.

Playing a video game: none of the games I have right now sound cooly enough to play. I totally played most of the way through Sphinx yesterday, most of the way through 24: The Game during vacation, and MGS2 sounds kinda fun, but I don't feel like being sneaky. I feel like doing something...puzzly? I guess?

Posting a pics album: I don't have any more pics to post. I mean, I posted that huge album of vacation pics and that's, like, everything I have. And I considered another dreams post, but really, I don't have anything to post about. I had one dream last night about my teeth being loose (which was *awful*, btw), and that's it.

Memes: I found a cooly meme posted by mgbutterfly, but I have to wait for a response to do it. No one else has posted any memes recently that I haven't already done.

So now I'm sitting here, in my bed with the covers pulled up, having listened to Bloomsday on Broadway for four hours with no pay-off and a headache, and I have absolutely nothing to do.

And it makes me so damn sad.

That's the end of this crazy random post, I spose. Sorry for sucking up your time, lol, but thanks for reading, if you did.

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

I'm Very Name-After-Able!  

Hello people!

Ernest Holmen said, "Today I live in the quiet, joyous expectation of good." I believe, by that, he meant that he was waiting for good things to happen while being happy during that time. Of course, misinterpretations are likely and probable. Moving past that fact, I interpret the quote as the way today went. I take it as saying that today was shit and I'm hoping that tomorrow will be better.

Math was actually decent. I got a 78 on a test we took quite a while ago, and an 80 on the test we took yesterday (both of which were in the top 7 scores for the class, so I got 10 bonus points - YAY)! In Chem today, we did our tie-dying, thankfully. It did not go all that well.

They had these bins outside on the sidewalk where we had our shirts soaking in a sodium carbonate solution of some sort. Apparently, two or three other classes had THEIR shirts in the bins, too, and there was no way to distinguish between all of them. So, I just grabbed a shirt from the correct bin and rubber-banded it in the design I wanted. Then I asked Ms. Barber a question and she answered it, then noticed my shirt and said, "Why do you have a long-sleeve shirt?"

I replied with, "Am I not sposed to have this?" and she informed me that no, I was sposed to have a t-shirt with short sleeves. So I had to take off all the rubber-bands, put the shirt back in the bin, get a DIFFERENT shirt, and rubber-band THAT one. It took me pretty much 45 minutes of the 50 minute class. I went to get my dyes, which were in these weird squirt bottles, and when I tried to put the dyes in the right spots on my shirt, they splurted and the dyes kinda splattered on my shirt. Not so much so to ruin it, but enough that it's prolly gonna look a tad strange.

And I was *LATE* for AP Euro, which I despise. I can not stand being late for any of my classes. I'm just OCD like that. But we started watching Schindler's List today, which, so far (and for being a WWII movie), is rather enjoyable. It's not, like, funny or something, but it's not awful...yet. Never seen it before, but I know for a fact that it's a depressing movie, so, yeah.

Anywho, we played Balderdash again in German, and *gah*, I can't get enough of that game! :D I hope we play it tomorrow, too! Aww, but Adam won't be there, so there'll be a lack of freakishly stupid yet quite amusing answers. I might have to make up for it - haha!

Brit Lit was fun, we had a free period! YAY! Creative Writing was good, too; Dan was there today, and he was hilarious! Whoo! And we watched more Twilight Zone. They're obviously poorly done, but they're really cool, at the same time. I love Twilight Zone eps...I should buy them on DVD.

As it turns out, I now have to do all the dishes (whereas before, I would unload the dishwasher and my bro would load it), which sucks. I prolly should just shut up, cuz it's not that bad, but I absolutely *detest* doing the fucking dishes. They're just so gross and...guh...I *hate* the dishes.

Little things happened today that pissed me off that I can't even remember anymore. All that's left in the wake of the suckishness is my bad mood. And my shows tonight weren't too helpful. I mean, Ugly Betty was actually pretty good. Very funny and rather sweet. 

But JEEZUS FUCKING CHRIST, Supernatural...okay, I'm not saying anything even remotely spoilerish about the Supernatural finale. I'm just gonna say that I cried multiple times and practically had a heart attack. I kinda feel like I'm dying right now. *grabs some tissues*

I'm so proud of California. They kicked out the gay-marriage ban and gays/lesbians can officially marry now! I'm not gay, but I TOTALLY support that lifestyle and the right to marry, whether gay or not, should not be taken away. Ever. Go here to read the article about it.

If you're alright with this, I'd appreciate it if you all could please sign this petition in support of people having the right to become transgendered. I have a friend (who shall remain nameless, but lives far away and is in her 30's) who wants to become transgendered. I see nothing wrong with it. If she (originally "he") wants to be transgendered, she has the right to be just that! This is a free fucking country. 

But some doctors are attempting to take away that right cuz they think that wanting to be transgendered is a mental disease that can be cured, and that their right to be transgendered, therefore, should be taken away. I disagree with that whole-heartedly; I'm NEVER in support of removing people's rights. So, please, if you don't have very strong disagreement with this petition, please sign it. Thank you very much.

I feel indescribably awful. I believe I've repeated that multiple times in this post, lol, and I apologize for the redundancy, but wow. I very rarely feel this terrible. Oh, ya know? People have said to me that "Life is good, but every now and then, you have a shit day." I've found that it's quite the opposite; "Life sucks ass, but every now and then, you have an awesome day." I think my philosophy on daily life is: "Don't have high hopes for the day when you get up in the morning; if you keep 'em low, you can't be disappointed." I stand by that, lol.

The title of this post is from this cute little vid from last night's Colbert Report where Stephen covered "Who's Not Honoring Me Now." And who is it that's not honoring Stephen? Science, of course (which I hear can blind people)! This guy discovered a new species of trapdoor spider or something and named them after Neil Young. Stephen became enraged that he didn't have a bug named after him, so he started yelling (duh!) and said, "I'm very name-after-able!" I thought it was cute (when is there a time that I *don't* think he's cute?).

Yeah, so, I'm gonna go to bed and sleep away the shit that was today. The countdown continues: 14 days.

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

Lambs Are Scarier, or It Would've Been Called, "Silence of the Ducks"  

Hello people!

Today was one of the suckiest days I've had in a long time.

I got up at 9:30-ish and made myself an awesome egg sandwich. That was the highlight of my day. I went with my mom to that dog convention thingy (which is where her work advertises; at home shows and conventions and such). The strange thing is that there were only about 10 booths total (and there are usually a LOT). And, only about 4 or 5 of them were dog-oriented. There was a spa-centered one, a food one, etc.

So, there was this guy there with a booth about animal safety or something, but he had a presentation about lizards, crocs, and snakes and handling them safely (which, incase you didn't notice, has absolutely NOTHING to do with dogs). Well, let me tell you, this guy was a total ass. He kept harping on Animal Planet (prolly cuz he's never been ON there), which got really annoying.

The worst part, though, is how much he insulted/mocked Steve Irwin. I'm not, like, a huge Croc Hunter fan or anything (in fact, I didn't really care about him much), but this jerk-off at the show kept saying that Irwin hated animals (um, NO) and deserved to die cuz of the way he treated them (again, um, NO!). The only reason this bugged me so much is cuz, it seems to me, his statements are UNBELIEVABLY RUDE because [a] Steve Irwin is DEAD, and [b] it's so fucking wrong to say that Steve Irwin deserved to die. He wasn't some fucking Nazi or something, jeezus.

I cried in the car on the way home from that, just cuz that guy pissed me off so much. I wanted to tell him off, but we didn't have time and had to get home. So I cried.

Then, we went with my dad to get his tattoo finished. My mom kept saying things to annoy me, so I was in a bad mood for the whole two-ish hours. I think I've been emotionally unstable all day, cuz I was in such a bad mood and have cried multiple times today. Anywho...

I sat in my room from about 8:30-ish til now, but during that time, my parents tried to cheer me up a bit by asking me to eat with them or watch The Lost World with them, but I didn't wanna be cheered up. Sometimes, when you feel like shit, you just wanna feel like shit.

I reminded my dad that I needed him to fix my DVR, so we tried re-booting it, and it said that there's something wrong with the memory disk and it can't play or record anything. I had TWO *fucking* WEEKS of TDS/TCR, the PREMIERE HOUSE EPISODE, and John Oliver's COMEDY ACT all recorded on there, none of which I've seen yet. And now, I'm pretty sure they're gone. So I have to fucking search for them online and hope I can watch them all.

I don't really care what people have to say about the following sentence: my TV shows are important to me, so missing them, especially ones that require you to have watched the previous week's episode to know what the fuck's going on, REALLY upsets me. Please don't criticize my life for that - it's been done a million times over.

So, my dad called the cable company to report the problem, and this bitchy woman talked to him and was just really annoying and mean about it. And fucking dense, my god! She said the DVR has to be turned off every night, but I go to sleep with my TV on, so how the hell am I sposed to do that?! My dad told the woman that I record TDS/TCR every night so I can go to bed (and therefore can't turn my DVR off), and the woman said that dad should wake me up at MIDNIGHT to turn off my DVR. SURRSLY?! How retarded can you be?!

The title is from "Friends," which my dad just turned on to make sure my cable was at least working (he just flipped to a channel and "Friends" was on). Chandler says it to Monica, who says she's not sure if she should make lamb or duck. I love Chandler. He's hilarious.

Oh, there was another thing that was good about today; bigfish05 read my fic I posted last night and liked it! HELLS YEAH! AND, she posted the next entry in the badfic!verse, so that was good. YAY!

So, now I'm off to bed to end this miserably abysmal (is that the right word?) day. Though I'm not looking forward to the shit day that shall be known as tomorrow.

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