“Well here's another update on the land of the interlet(?) internet list. Where was I? Yes I haven't started that's right. Right, so this is gonna be a horrible transfer I said just listen to it and don't read the auto transcription thing. Coz I'm not gonna be up there to fix it. But well we're in the house as you know and I'm sleeping alright on the floor which is it's not too bad and we finally got the gas fixed and hooked. We finally got it hooked up. So now we can cook and we have hot water so we can shower and that went really really nice. We got our kitten from Meg Spencer, Anna. We only got one because he gave one of the others to someone else and we've named him Abhorsome(?) instead of Simon. Because he's a little buckle little black and white kitten and he looks like ___ and makes him a total geek. Yeah so my mom is coming to visit tonight. Which is gonna be really great. She should be here in a couple of hours. She's driving down from Atlanta. One of our old high school friends is graduating from college this weekend. So my mom is coming to see that and we're gonna go along too. I have been putting in a couple of job applications etc etc. I'm gonna really start cracking down on that next week and things are gonna be really good then. Once I get a job. Yeah so I'm just kinda hanging around doing nothing most of the time. I've been working on some fan fiction. I started a new piece just before we moved but I think devoting a lot of time too and I'm not gonna say much about that. I you would know about it because I well it's getting a little old. I sent a little bit of it to some of my friends. But, yeah I would guess that I'm just gonna leave it at that. I've got a couple others that I need to work on that haven't been ___. You know how that is it's crap. Well I was rumbling because I'm bored and lonely and nobody is calling me. Even though I gave my number to some of you. You silly people but I love you anyway. Even if I'm lonely and no one loves me. Now I tell myself why I need that tracing stuff. Well I would guess I'll d better go and get back to writing or reading or doing the dishes or any of those fund raising that you do other that babbling your ears off. Since your problem now is just did anyway. Better that Williams on anyway. Sorry about that I should probably even ___ and start over but I'm too lazy. Well I'll talk to you guys later ok? Bye.”
Well, here's a more coherent follow-up to last night's badly transcribed voice post.
The story goes like this: A couple weeks ago, Dad was in trouble because of taxes, etc, etc, and we gave him $250. We were under the impression that this was a loan. So we asked for the money back--so we could afford to live after putting the deposit on the house. Lir made a joking comment about Kathy "being bitchy" because it was mostly her money that had gone into this "loan." I was also trying to sell him my futon, which he'd been interested in before. To all this he said he'd "think about it."
So we loaded up a bunch of boxes into our car and Andrew's SUV and got it to the house. We'd just gotten home (at about 9:30) and sat down to play cards after an exhausting day when Dad came storming in, slammed a check down on the table, and was generally a bastard. He said that he didn't owe Kathy anything, so she had to leave his house that minute. He also said he couldn't kick his daughters out, but in such a tone that implied he wanted to. So we gathered up all we could, including all our clothes and such, and left.
We slept on the floor last night, but I'm still happier than I have been in a long time. Our house is lovely, and I have my own room. We went out this morning and bought an airmattress for Lir and Kathy, and some foam padding for me. We'll be comfortable enough until we can buy some beds. Dad can keep the old lumpy mattresses he said we can take. Anyway, we don't have a truck to cart them over in.
We still have some things to pick up, but we're going to head over weekdays in the morning while he's at work.
I really wonder if he realizes that he's just written himself out of our lives. This was the last straw. We don't need him, and I for one have no regrets in cutting all ties. He's going to die a lonely old man, since he drives away anyone who gets close to him.
So, we're moved in. It's great. We're saving so much money in gas already!
Oh, and if anyone wants to send us a housewarming gift, just ask and I'll give you my addres. *Winks* And if you want to talk to me during my internet dearth, let me know and I'll sling you my phone number.
“Ok well my dad should certainly run a course entitled how to alienate your daughters. You need to take ___ out of our house because of serious things that I don't wanna go into now but of course that was the ___ that Lera and I went to because I mean dad was been a jack ass and we didn't wanna stay there with him being like that so luckily we do have a house. So I'm right now sitting on my very own bedroom. Unfortunately I do not have a bed so I am sleeping on the floor on the tiles with very very thin sheet but it's better than being at my dad's house and so until further notice I'm not sure when I'm gonna have internet. I'm gonna try to get online tomorrow morning and try taking the laptop to a coffee shop or so some place but for now I'm just stuck here with nothing to do but I'll be alright. If anyone wants my phone number so you can talk to me leave a comment here and I will get it either email it to you if you leave me your email address or do a private message thing but so if you if you wanna talk to me until I can get an email address ___ get internet again that's how we're gonna have to do it. Anyway love you all and I'll talk to you later. Bye.”
Well, I have a lot of things I want to talk about, and I hope I can remember them all. Most of it's the random babbling that is my wont.
I haven't been checking my friendslist at all recently. Haven't had much energy. If anything important or interesting has happened to you, please let me know. I do still care about all of you! I really do! *hugs*
Ok, for starters, Kathy has decided that I'm Ursula from The Little Mermaid reincarnated. I apparently dance like her and have the same hips and figure (except my boobs are smaller). The only thing I'm lacking is purple skin and a dyke haircut.
I'm never going to be able to listen to Pinch Me by the Barenaked Ladies again. I caught a bit of a live show on the radio, and he changed the lyrics on me.
Put the sprinkler on the lawn And run through with my gym shorts on Take a drink right from the hose And change into some drier clothes
has now become
Put the sprinkler on the lawn And run through with my g-string on Take a drink right from the hose And change into my daughter's clothes
I can't listen to the song without laughing my ass off now!
So, I was taking a nap yesterday, and Lir came to wake me up. As I woke, I realized I'd been having a seriously fucked up dream. I had to pick up a new girlfriend with a Katamari, but all I could get were redneck chicks. It was so fucking weird!
Speaking of trying to pick up chicks, I put my profile on a dating site--and not just any site; I have a profile up on soulgeek.com. Yes. A dating site MADE FOR GEEKS. It's awesome. The drawback is that you have to get a paid account to be able to contact anyone. That's serious balls, there. Though with the paid features I'd be able to put my fanfic on their website, which I think would be pretty sweet.
I found out that you can't send messages after agonizing for a long while about whether to contact this one girl and what to say if I did, so I got all worked up for nothing. However, Kathy went all freaky stalker and may actually have found her livejournal. I am so not contacting her that way, though. It would freak her the fuck out, I'm sure. She seemed pretty cool, though--she wants to be River Tam.
Oh, and the house is ready, and we should have enough money to move in this weekend. Keep your fingers crossed!
Well, we now have a Playstation 2. Billy lent us the money to buy it while it was on uber-sale with Guitar Hero III. So, we've got those, yay! And while we were at the library, I noticed that they had a video game section... including Katamari Damacy. WHOOOOO! *Grins* Rented that (two bucks for a week, not bad at all), and am now letting Lir play. She didn't believe me when I assured her that it was pure amazing crack, but she's hooked now. I'm sitting here listening to her randomly shout "I've got parsley!" and "Ooh, a bird!" It's pretty damned hilarious.
Your dominant hue is blue, making you a good friend who people love and trust. You're good in social situations and want to fit in. Just be careful not to compromise who you are to make them happy.
Your saturation level is medium - You're not the most decisive go-getter, but you can get a job done when it's required of you. You probably don't think the world can change for you and don't want to spend too much effort trying to force it.
Your outlook on life can be bright or dark, depending on the situation. You are flexible and see things objectively.
Yeah, so we went over to a friend of Lir and Kathy's to play with her six five-week-old kittens, and picked out two of them for our own. SO CUTE! Lir's is a creamish grey one with dark grey ears and such, and her name is Inara. Kathy's is a tiny black one with a bit of white and grey thrown in, and he's Simon. Once we move into the house, they're going to come live with us.
SO CUTE, I say again!
I have lots of pictures, but I have to buy a memory card reader before I can upload them. Bleh. Bleh, I say!
I think every single one of the kittens attacked my skirt. Sometimes they got their claws caught in it, and I could lift them up. It was hilarious. We spent two hours playing with them all.
Having lived in several different places, I notice these kinds of things. Also, sometimes I use different versions.
Where did you grow up? Chicago, IL, mostly. Moved to Alabama at fifteen, so I did a bit of growing up there.
1. A body of water, smaller than a river, contained within relatively narrow banks. Stream if you can jump over it, creek if it's a bit bigger.
2. What the thing you push around the grocery store is called. Cart or shopping cart.
3. A metal container to carry a meal in. Lunch box.
4. The thing that you cook bacon and eggs in. In all honesty we usually used the fajita pan, but the frying pan was for eggs and such as well. The skillet was for other things.
5. The piece of furniture that seats three people. Sofa or couch. I think I tend towards couch more often.
6. The device on the outside of the house that carries rain off the roof. Gutters.
7. The covered area outside a house where people sit in the evening. Porch. We had a deck, though. Not covered.
8. Carbonated, sweetened, non-alcoholic beverages. Soda, pop, or soda-pop. I've started falling into the southern "Coke" habit, though.
9. A flat, round breakfast food served with syrup. Pancake.
10. A long sandwich designed to be a whole meal in itself. Sub sandwich. I've been starting to drop hoagie after my time in Philly, though.
11. The piece of clothing worn by men at the beach. Swim-shorts? I really don't know.
12. Shoes worn for sports. Sneakers.
13. Putting a room in order. Cleaning.
14. A flying insect that glows in the dark. Lightening bug.
15. The little insect that curls up into a ball. Rolly-polly.
16.The children's playground equipment where one kid sits on one side and goes up while the other sits on the other side and goes down. Teeter totter.
17. How do you eat your pizza? However I can get it? With my hands. The delivery places would cut it in squares instead of slices back in Chicago.
18. What's it called when private citizens put up signs and sell their used stuff? Garage sale.
19. What's the evening meal? Dinner or supper.
20. The thing under a house where the furnace and perhaps a rec room are? Basement. We had a crawlspace, though.
21. What do you call the thing that you can get water out of to drink in public places? Water fountain or drinking fountain.
I figured out how to make screencaps (all on my own!) and did a small batch from the deleted scene of Heroes 01x20: Five Years Gone. In other words, Bennet/Hiro slashy goodness. At least, I did my best.
1. Reply to this post, and I will pick four of your icons. 2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose. 3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts. 4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee!
From Jackie:
This is a quote from Life, the Universe, and Everything (AKA Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy #3). It just seemed to fit Peter throwing himself off the top of that swingset.
This sprang from me trying to define "flippancy" for Meri. I told her it was a lighter form of snark, "Diet Snark" if she would.
Best line in Firefly. Or one of them, at least. There's a lot of good ones. But you just have to love Wash and his dinosaurs.
I was laughing my ass off the first time I saw Linderman say that. Lir and I figure that pot pie is a euphamism, and very preferable to being offered zuchini.
Well, we went to see the house today. It's got an amazing layout. It's not too big, but the rooms are all nice. There's a lot of work to be done on it, but they're going to get it finished in a month, hopefully, maybe a bit more. And our rent's going to be about $570 a month.
We're going to make the top floor into Lir's art/computer studio. It's got a very narrow iron spiral staircase to get up there. She's already calling it her fortress.
I get my own room (yay!), and the living room is spacious and has a fireplace. There's a big yard, and a decent sized kitchen. All in all, it's pretty nice.
I was uploading these for a friend, and figured that, while I had the links, I'd share them with anyone who was interested. This is the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Radio Show. It's my favorite incarnation of the entire HHGttG phenomenon.
And if you want to guess how much I like Hitchhiker's... Veet Voojagig is a character. An extremely minor character, yes, but that is where I get my name. I've been a huge fan for many, many years.
Right. We're going to rent a house! WHOOT! Some friends of Andrew's buy and fix up houses to rent, and they just got one. They're going to let us have it. They still have some stuff to do, so I don't know when we can move in, but it's definitely ours.
And it's going to be nice. I mean, it's being fixed up buy a pair of gay men.
In other good news, Kathy's up for a promotion, and is probably going to get it. Her only real competition is Lir, and Lir doesn't want it as badly.
In either case, ONE of them will probably get it.
Things seem to be looking up from all the rejections and Lir's car dying. *crosses fingers* Maybe our luck is finally turning around.
I just had an ad banner across my email window that said "Find out how you can lose weight online!"
Pardon me? WTF? This had better mean "Find out, online, how you can lose weight," because if they're actually trying to say that you can lose weight while sitting at the computer, I'm going to be sick.

I Am A: Chaotic Neutral Human Wizard (3rd Level)
Ability Scores:
Strength-10
Dexterity-10
Constitution-9
Intelligence-14
Wisdom-12
Charisma-9
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral A chaotic neutral character follows his whims. He is an individualist first and last. He values his own liberty but doesn't strive to protect others' freedom. He avoids authority, resents restrictions, and challenges traditions. A chaotic neutral character does not intentionally disrupt organizations as part of a campaign of anarchy. To do so, he would have to be motivated either by good (and a desire to liberate others) or evil (and a desire to make those different from himself suffer). A chaotic neutral character may be unpredictable, but his behavior is not totally random. He is not as likely to jump off a bridge as to cross it. Chaotic neutral is the best alignment you can be because it represents true freedom from both society's restrictions and a do-gooder's zeal. However, chaotic neutral can be a dangerous alignment because it seeks to eliminate all authority, harmony, and order in society.
Race: Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.
Class: Wizards are arcane spellcasters who depend on intensive study to create their magic. To wizards, magic is not a talent but a difficult, rewarding art. When they are prepared for battle, wizards can use their spells to devastating effect. When caught by surprise, they are vulnerable. The wizard's strength is her spells, everything else is secondary. She learns new spells as she experiments and grows in experience, and she can also learn them from other wizards. In addition, over time a wizard learns to manipulate her spells so they go farther, work better, or are improved in some other way. A wizard can call a familiar- a small, magical, animal companion that serves her. With a high Intelligence, wizards are capable of casting very high levels of spells.
