So basically, this is my blog just to keep anyone who's interested up to date on what I'm doing right now. I can't make any promises as to how often I will update, as it is just whenever I have time. Oftentimes, my updates are just useless little posts of icons and such that I snagged on the internet earlier. Those are solely to entertain me. If you want to be alerted when I update, you can register below.
So, I most definitely have a crush on this boy. Still no nickname, everything sounds really gay. This prompts me to try and remember all the nicknames I have given thus far. Let's review, some I have forgotten and couldn't find when I looked back through so I'll just come up with new ones. Those in italics are recreated.
GingerJew - My best friend, mentioned all the time. Often shortened to GJ
Queen Funk - GJ's boyfriend. Crazy as weirdo, but I love him
Tony - Old friend, going into the army this summer, named after his old Mafia name.
Mexican Politician - This will be replacing McQuiet. Amazing at everything
Evil Twin - My twin, if we were born months apart and looking nothing alike. And both of us are the evil twin.
Mothra - Little sis of ET, my single buddy in our group
Man and Myth - Friends since age 3. Spent a brief time "talking"
Nava - Ex- IHOP waiter. Don't talk to him too much anymore.
Spikey - used to work with at Staples
Faux Hawk - my manger at Staples
Thats all I can think of, so after this laundry list of names, what do I call new boy? Nothing yet, I'm scared to jinx this. So I'm not really talking to people about him yet. He looks cute in his Myspace pic though.
When I was looking back through some old entries, I found one talking about a dream I had where this same boy asked me out but I kept calling him different names. At the end of the entry, I called him a douche. He is, but I like douche bags with a good sense of humor. He invited me to a party this weekend. I hope he was serious. If so, I'll try to go even though I won't know anyone.
I'm just trying to keep track of how many books I read each month, because I never have. I decided to be fair and start on May 1st. I'm not going to try try and read fast or anything, I just want an average of how many books I read. So, the books all have to be ones that I finish within the month of May. So, lets begin.
So, after getting over being sick with the exception of what I can only assume to be a throat ulcer, I am so fucking tired. My body has just been fatigued for like a week. I thought that last night I would be able to catch up on my sleep but I kept waking up, so it didn't help.
And yesterday evening, my district manger came into the studio to bitch at me for like 15 minutes. Yeah, that was awesome. Douche.
I am trying to read The Faerie Path and From Dead to Worse at the same time, because I can't pick one.
I have been so inspired to write lately, and have tried to revisit a story that I love and that has been in my like for like 5 years, but I've honestly been too tired to devote time to it.
I am becoming depressed at how few RSVPs The Grove has received for our meet up and ritual. I'm trying to be calm and reassure myself that it's still got a month to work out. I will be pissed if we spent the money we've spent on the ritual to have no one come. Which would make it a waste, and would also mean no donations.
I need to go to bed, or kill people. One of the two.
Ok, so I just finished Chosen by P.C. and Kristen Cast. Ok... my feelings about this series have only become more mixed.
First, I want to thank the Casts for getting one thing right that every other Young Adult novel is terrified of. Teens swear and have sex. And sometimes, they have sex with the wrong people, its not all lace and candles and bullshit.
With that said, Zoey is still a whore. Pick a fucking guy already. Oh, you aren't going to? Well then you get no one.
The people I've talked to about this book have said the ending was shocking and whatever. This series is actually fairly predictable. And there's going to be 3 more. I'm sure I'll read them.
Why? Because I have a really hard time giving up on a series. With the exception of Sweep, apparently, which is still stacked up on my window seat should I ever consider joining back with that ridiculous, drawn out crap.
Thats really the only review I have for Chosen. I really need to read something that isn't Young Adult or about vampires so that I can attempt to save my brain cells before they're totally lost to me. But, I probably won't. I haven't decided what I'm going to read next. I have The Faerie Path on the table in front of me but I read a really bad review for it, so I'm a little worried.
In the next few weeks I'm going to start the Twilight Book Club Plan. Basically, the Twilight series has 78 chapters from the three books. If you start on a certain day, and read one chapter each day, then you'll read the epilogue of Eclipse on the day that Breaking Dawn is released. This is a good countdown method for me, so I think I'll do it.
I love getting to sleep in four of the five days this week. It's pretty much perfect. I also believe that I may not go in on Friday at all. It seems stupid to go just for a TA period. Also on Friday, I'm going to get my hair hi-lighted so I'll be a blond again by Friday night.
What have I been doing lately? Eating Cheeze-its. Along with everyone else in my family. Someone decided to bring home a family sized box of big Cheeze-its and we practically demolished it in less than 24 hours. Family sized is really dependent on the family, because once we had finished them there were still some of us family members who still wanted Cheeze-its. So then a second box came home. Same thing happened as the first time. So my Mom got wise, today she brought home two family sized boxes and a box of spicy Cheese-its. They are delicious! Viva spicy Cheeze-its!
As I am sure you can tell from the whole paragraph about snacks, not much has been going on. GingerJew has an interview tomorrow with my boss to try and get a job where I work.
Everyone seems to be getting excited for prom. Me? Not so much. It's hard to get too jazzed up when I'm taking Mothra. I love her, but I'm definitely not going to get laid. I am more excited about Project Celebration. I get to go plays games and win awesome stuff.
Can I Cheeze-overdose? Oh, we'll see.
I went to Staples today to buy paper. I hate going back to that store, it's so awkward cause I worked there. And they didn't have the card stock I needed. Bleh.
The first Grove meeting is like a month and a half away, and we already have two RSVPs. Our event pages on Witchvox have gotten like 100 hits each, and a few people have posted in the forum.
I talked to my old High Priestess via email. She told me that she's happy for me about starting the Grove, and even offered up her house for us to hold a ritual at. And she invited me to a Beltane ritual with a group she has been attending. I doubt I'm going to be able to make it, but they're going to have a Maypole, which sounds like fun, so I hope I can
Ok, so again I finished a book and waited forever to come review. I finished Betrayed by P.C. and Kristen Cast. I have to say, I enjoyed this much more than the first book. Second books can often be better because you aren't worried about all the exposition that you have in a first book. The author assumes you are familiar with the setting, characters, and back story.
So Betrayed was definitely more exciting than Marked. Still incredibly Pagan. Zoey finds out that someone she has previously trusted and revered is up too some very shady behavior. That was an interesting twist. We see more of Zoey's ex boyfriend Heath. As well as her current boyfriend Erik, and wanna be boyfriend Loren. So this is where I draw a problem with Zoey. She's kind of a two timing ho. One minute, she's drinking Heath's blood and rubbing his... bulge. The next she's with Erik acting totally normal. And then a few minutes after that, she's getting all hot and bothered by Loren and his (apparently sexy) haikus.
In Betrayed we are again faced with the sadness of the death of a fledgling. Only this time, it is someone very close to Zoey. I didn't really see this coming, and I will be honest. I was sitting on my bed, holding the book, crying. It was so sad.
All in all, I really liked this book. So worth reading! I'm half way into Chosen already and I know that as soon as I finish it I'm going to be wishing the next one was out. Oh well
He is, but I like douche bags with a good sense of humor. He invited me to a party this weekend. I hope he was serious. If so, I'll try to go even though I won't know anyone.
