... want?

It would appear that as the Earth has made yet another revolution and another year is upon us, My birthday has rolled around again, and that most common of questions has arisen once again. What do you want for your birthday? It's a perfectly good question, and one that I would ask my own friends and family in turn, however I always seem to have trouble figuring out how to answer. Of course when I was little--note younger since I am still somewhat little--toys were an easy enough answer. But now I am older and I find myself uninterested in many of the desires of most girls. I don't wear makeup, I like some jewelry, but I think I'm too particular about what I like, and I wouldn't like getting clothes; especially in light of recent shopping experiences. There are a few things that I like and wouldn't mind getting that I would assume might be general knowledge among my friends, however perhaps not--see previous post. For one thing, I love animals and figurenes especially since they're tactile, I've always liked fake body parts and had started upquite a collection before we moved and most of it disappeared. My collection included: one pink foam brain, a glow in the dark brain which I liked better, a squushy heart, several eyeballs that bulged when you squeezed them, a ball of fake blood that splatted against the wall when thrown, and some hands feet an ear and nose. However, for those of you who might be more ambitious in your gift giving, I have thought long and hard about the things I want and have carefully compiled for you a list of the things I would most like to recieve. So here with out further ado, is my list for your gifting convenience.

1. a dragon
He of course must fly, however full blown firebreath is optional

2. angora goat
preferably a small one

3. a pegasus-drawn chariot


4. a griffin


5. invisibility spray


6. a male quartet
Either a capella or with a piano accompaniment is exceptible.

7. jazz band


8. flying carpet


9. sealion
Not to be confused with a seal.

10. an empty shopping mall
So that I can run around in.

11. elephant ride

Thank you.

Happy Happy New Year Baby

So I had this really cool cool post all about my exciting end of the year weekend, but then My computer was acting up and I couldn't post anything. But it all seems to be here now and I'll try to get it all in.
So first two of my friends got married and it was beautiful and midieval and so totally what I would've expected from the bride. There was a kniting ceremony and the sword was real! And at the reception there was an ice sculpture of a castle. I've always been fascinated by ice sculpture. And of course there was lots and lots of dancing!
A bunch of us got in a random dance cluster and all danced together. Mostly I danced with Running Slippers, but we changed partners too. I had so much fun and the whole thing definitely put me in a "awh I wanna get married" mood, but only for about 15 minutes lol. I wish the both of them great happiness!
On friday there was a new years party and I brought along Eddie and played for everyone. I was supposed to go to another friend's house for New Years day, but my ride ended up not going so Saturday I stayed at home and did nothing. ... And now we're here.
Is today Tuesday already? I am very excited about the writing retreat this coming weekend! But first I will have to get through tomorrow. I'm not sure what it's about
****** scratch that. Due to a somewhat longish conversation I no longer have any obligations tomorrow. W00T!

Retreat here I come! In about three days. =D

babababrrrr!

So Running Slippers did call me, but he had another call come in so we've been playing phone tag ever since. sad banana.
I feel strangely like a lot happened today, though I'm almost sure nothing happened at all. Well, stuff happened, but nothing out of the ordinary. I woke up, i ate, i played on the internet and I talked to some people. I haven't been outside once today. ... weird. and now I'm hungry. Time to eat some things!
Happy Winter Solstice!!!

While The Ipod Charges

Sittin here ... waitin ... my ipod is taking forever to charge! Tonight I watched a funny youtube video my friend sent me and I laughed so hard it started up my cough. Then My roomies got concerned, but I was ok for the most part. Hee, then things got a bit silly and there was much laughter and joking. Yes, my mom finally came on Saturday, and she brought me chocolate oranges! Who's a happy happy smily girl now? =D She used to put them in my stocking at Christmas time. I don't often find them, but holidays remind me of their wonderfulness. I want a chocolate orange tree! And while I am on the topic of things chocolate, I now have a craving for chocolate strawberries! Thanks to a comment by my Love Muffin. Thanks for that you. Um, These cats are crazy? ... Or at least the male is ... he's running around playing with air currents or something. I kinda wonder if there's some imaginary monster he's running from because of whatever happened to him before he came to live here, or if he sees ghosts. Whatever it is, he does it a lot! Well, it's getting late and I must away to my sleep simulation pod; plus my ipod is done charging. =D TTFN!

... Or Not

So I thought I'd put some proper pants on--I was in my jammy shorts before--for when my mother came, but she isn't here yet. She's bringing me food so I thought I might have to carry a few things in. It's a good thing she isn't buying any ice cream --- I was on the phone with her about when she was finishing up and that was hours ago. O well, I am good at waiting.
So still no snow thus far and it's almost Christmas! ... At least here there isn't any snow, but I hear there's some almost everywhere else. I did start writing that story, but haven't finished it yet. I wonder if finishing will help?
As for finished stories though, I did manage to write one whole one and I've sent it off to a friend to see what he thinks of it. It's a bit twisted and I think I may have officially freaked myself out writing it. O well, I'll wait and see what my friend thinks.
Still no mother ... or food.
Happy Saturday!

Gloomy Sunday

So, the party was fun, the food was good, and as always we managed to find yet another bad Christmas movie. This year it was Santa's Slay--yes with that exact spelling. Yeah ... just bad stuff, but funny for the same reason.
I brought along my Eddie instead of food and got to entertain some toward the end. heehee, that was fun. Honestly nothing spectacular happened, but I think we all had a good time. And we got back supper late like always, and my roomies were both asleep.
Today is a day for yawning and snuggling on the couch. When I woke up this morning to get ready for church, I swear it was darker today than last week. I heard we were supposed to have snow--yay excitement--but it got too warm and we have rain instead. Ah well, I know the snow will b here soon enough. I just hope it's before Christmas.
Enjoy the wind and rain! or whatever it's doing in your part of the world =D

Party Time!

Tonight tonight I get to go out to partay! Ok, well actually I get to see some friends I haven't seen in awhile and hang out and eat food. However, this is definitely cause for excitement! Otherwise today has mostly been a Lazy semiproductive day. I actually have been curled up on the couch all day and I really need to go shower. Lol, yes this post here is just another excuse to stay put ... go ahead, tell me to get up and make with the squeaking! haha
Ok, you've convinced me. More happy news about the party when I come home again.

Were Had By All

Hello there =D I have had a lovely weekend whose high I am still coming down from. Shall I tell you about it? So I did make it to the concert by the way, and surprised everyone. It was so much fun! I really should enjoy more live music. My school's Symphonic winds and Jazz Band is pretty sweet and I love to go hear them play. Every year I think to myself that they really ought to have CDs. So yeah that was exciting to go hear them and to surprise my friends who played. I <3 you guys! We got a Christmas tree on saturday and it was exciting because neither of my roomies had ever had a real tree before. So of course as someone who had had at least 2 or 3 I had to give the tree the old freshness taste test. Very fresh and piny if you are interested. Decorating was fun too and we took pictures with the bird up on the tree. Then Sunday was church, Messiah and Christmas party--the first of two for me actually. It was all fun and I stayed over with one of my profs, but I think my favorite part was Monday night when my three friends and I hung out together and fought crime! Lols yes, we all really are that amazing. I think I want to find some games for my machine soon. I think that's what I will get myself for Christmas. Pleasant dreams. ;)

Woo What A Day

I have been having an interesting few days of late; just a whole bunch of different circumstances and feelings. I think I want to override them all. I think I just need a new project. I'm pretty sure I've said that before, but it's true. That will at least keep my hands busy.
So this friday my school is having a symphonic winds and jazz concert and I am excited because I think I might be able to go! I don't know when it ends though. And and and ... I am excited for the Christmas party! Hopefully it actually happens though.
Ok, yay for good things and good moods. Let's note this and save the feelings and maybe the others will go away. =D

Becoming Scrooge

I am seriously considering putting myself up for adoption for the holidays! I'm small, no one will notice I'm over 18 right? ha! not likely. So I think I have mentioned before that along with all the holiday joy and funness winter also makes me very sad. Well, this seems to be a bit of something else, but it doesn't help.
I think my mom got an invite to some friends for Christmas dinner. I absolutely completely unrepentently do not want to go! Not by any means! I am really starting to not look forward to the holidays. Truth be told we haven't actually had any kind of Christmas anything in some time which I was already not happy about.
O I know christmas isn't about the tree or santa and the presents, but that isn't even what I miss. I haven't really wanted anything for the last several Christmases anyhow. I'd really like to have Christmas at all. And If I'm gonna do that, I don't want to do it with anyone but my own family. I refuse to have anyone else's Christmas again!
Yes We have done it before and it just wasn't right. So here's to holidays with family and less complaining about my life.

The Cup and I

This morning's giant coffee mug features ... chocolate milk. Yup, I am drinking chocolate milk at three in the morning and it's about 70 something degrees outside.It's almost exactly like cold coco, which is nice. Probably though I should be drinking tea or something since I have been feeling like I've got an elephant standing on me, yikes.
Yes, sadly I have been feeling quite sickly for most of the day *whimper whimper* but I think the chocolate milk may help. You know, maybe next time I should try heating it and see what happens. Mmm that could be kinda good.
Well, I can't say this was my most exciting fourth since mostly I've been sleeping or reading, but at least I heard fireworks. Actually along with feeling sickish I've been a bit listless. I finally had to go outside because I was starting to annoy myself, lol! So I didn't turn on my radio to hear my beloved Pops, but there's always next year.
O, speaking of elephants, In the book I'm currently reading ***which by the way is an audio book being read by the amazing Dick Hill, one of my all time faves***one of the characters was in the hospital with some kind of machine that was putting pressure on his ***ehem, which I didn't entirely understand since he was there because of his heart attack but what do I know. So this machine apparently was pressing with the kind of force "nature uses to turn carbon in to diamonds." Yeeeeee! Can you say ouch? Poor guy. Otherwise I am liking the book so far though.
Well, I think either the cold chocolate or the fact that I am going to the beach tomorrow has improved my mood. I am off then. Sadly not to sleep because remember I don't do that at night anymore, but I'll find something to do. :0)
Happy dreaming!

Valentines Day Is It ...

It pretty much seems to break up like this, either you have a Valentine and the two of you are happy extatic together, or you don't have one and you're not. I'm not really sure how I feel really, it comes it goes it comes again. I do think I enjoyed getting those little cardboard valentines we used to pass out in school. Ah well, not much to do here at the moment and I should probably go to bed, but I am not ready for sleep just yet. Maybe if I get a dog we can go out for nightly jogs ... maybe that is what I should do.
I did meat a bearded dragon and fell in love with him. He is a very cool feeling lizard and I had always kinda wanted one, but now I really want one. well, good night and happy Valentines/singles awareness day
