I saw Johnny Depp on a box of cereal.

An hour after turning in my English paper I realize I cursed in my paper. Twice. Excuse me while I go wallow in my stupidity.

I'm thoroughly unimpressed with Tobi's porn collection. It's, well, boring. Way too much bodily fluids, to the extent of gross. I saw inside someone's ass -a lot. I swear she could let several Ethiopian children live in there.

Moving along here. I need to register for school, but I'm still being indecisive. I need a good kick in the shin I think. Oh yeah, I'm waiting on Tobi to figure out his schedule so I can plan mine accordingly. Someone kick Tobi in the shin.

I made a new web site layout. I started it last night. It was a base that looked like complete shit. Today I made it presentable. I think. I have to check on a non-laptop monitor to verify my colors. I wasn't fond of the color scheme at first, but it grew on me. Oddly, it's pretty much complete. I need to make the header pretty, and maybe a bullet design for the side panel.

Too bad I don't know what I want to put on my site, now that I have a layout. I want something that isn't too personal, but not too far either. I want to be able to show my mom or someone I meet randomly. (No I would never show my mother my journal or unfinished writing. It's uncomfortable. Did I mentin my mother has a degree in journalism?)

Hmm. Lots to think about.

I was going to finish my "novel" but decided it would be better to put it away for a couple weeks. Probably a day or two after x-mas I'll pick it up and finish. That should also give me time to finish the other projects that need finishing, or starting which ever the case may be. A few deadlines are coming up. I've been a very busy lazy bastard.

Personal reminder: X-mas cards need to go out tomorrow.

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! Last Tuesday I stole alijha's purse (-30 points). In November I ruled Canada as a kind and benevolent dictator (700 points). Last Wednesday I signed my organ donor card (28 points). In March I gave saibot a wet willie, then I took it back (-5 points). Last Thursday I committed genocide... Sorry about that, minxfic (-5000 points). Overall, I've been naughty (-4307 points). For Christmas I deserve a spanking! Sincerely, ratfaceiv

That is the funniest thing I've seen all day... but I've only been up about 20 minutes.

I love Christmas. It's a most excellent holiday. It's not that you get presents, don't get me wrong, that's great. It's that there is so much to do. I love making Christmas preparations. Tonight I pulled out our tree, and decorated it. I'm still working out our other decorations. I think I might buy new stockings though, not really liking the old ones.

We're buying Christmas cards tomorrow, or maybe Sunday. We'll probably start present shopping this week too. I have to mail out my family's presents soon. I have no idea what to get everyone! I love wrapping presents, btw. I can't find my ribbon though. I know I packed it somewhere. I just have no idea where. Oh well, it's a buck.

I was going to do all this yesterday, but I was tired after NaNoWriMo. Man, that was a trip. I had like 20k the friday before it was over, so I was really grumpy the last week. I nearly murdered Tobi a few times. I don't know how he managed to survive really. He's still avoiding me while he sleeps.

NaNo was great. I got stuck when I freaked out on my MC's early development, and decided to write random (and disturbing) smut -after a black hole sucked in the solar system. I have 19k of smut, and the rest is my actual story. I wrote the very very beginning, a few second act scenes, the scenes directly leading to the climax, and half of the third act. So it's one giant mess with alternate scenes. I have to finish and write a second draft. Hopefully I'll still work on it this month, but I think time away from the actual text will help me work out a few points of indecision.

Been busy. Usual crap. We're a-okay. Bitch. Whine. Moan. Etc.

Not really using livejournal much anymore. Obviously. Not much to say. No one I really talk to anymore. You know, the usual.

*goes back to doing crap*

Can't get a break. Tobi's going to the doctor, sick once more. I need to go back to the dentist.

Refresher: In May I had minor surgery to drain infection from a root canal. So today, after having antibiotics and surgery for the infection 3 months earlier, it hurts, bad. It didn't hurt this bad the first time around, which scares me.

Enough of that. I'm trying to find the right music to use while I work on stuff. I need something quiet but emotive. Not popular these days. Hard to find. *sigh*

I did minor character bios yesterday. Still need some more research on certain things, but now I can piece together a loose outline of action. Which I've been wanting to do, but couldn't get there for a couple weeks. But if I do it while listening to something too loud or fast I'm going to fuck it up. Need something... perfect.

My sister painted my toe nails.

These are things my sister does.

Spent the night with my sister and her husband's family. Extreme bowling. Sounds retarded. Looks like it too, but they're very entertaining and determined to have a good time. The bar helps that too.

Denny's at 2am. Always interesting.

I want to see Domino, and Corpse Bride (Tim Burton and Johnny Depp yay).

Did I ever mention that In Good Company was a good movie? I still think about it sometimes.

Still not liking Harry Potter. Give me a break.

I've been thinking about a short story I read in high school english class. Had cars, high school drinking, hazing, sex, mistaken identity, fighting, death, and figurative rebirth all in less than ten pages. Can't remember the title. Mostly I remember that her toe nails were painted red, and she had no name.

I said, '(blah)... looks pretty pretty.' last night. It was weird.

I own the most excellent hat.

I'm not really writing in LJ to relive the main events of my life. What's the point of that? I won't forget that, but these little and random details seem to make up more of who I am, than any main event. Previews are the best part of any movie.

I had half written this post, but the computer randomly restarted in the middle of it. So this is the abbreviated version, as I can't take anymore hassle at this time.

Older sister gave me 20 bucks and a lotto card (didn't win). Did much of nothing, talked to Tobi. Got his gifts at 2:50-ish. They were wonderful, lots of wrapping paper and ribbons. He got me the most spectacular Willy Wonka hat. I love hats. He also got me a couple bracelets, choker that matched some new arm socks (with lace and laces). Some Wonka goggles that I'll wear at the worst time possible because I can. New lip balm. Eye/lip crayon.

Saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with my mom. I liked it a lot.

Got dinner at Subway. Bought ice cream, which we didn't eat. Bought a couple movies. The Jacket and Million Dollar Baby.

Oldest sister called. She's gonna pick me up tomorrow so she and Greg (brother-in-law) can take me to have a drink at a bar. This is exciting for them, not really my thing, but oh well.

The day went well, but the night turned into one of those never ending moments. May or may not make a post about it later. Need to clear my head first.

So, now that I've had a questionably large amount of caffiene, I'm feeling much better.

I, apparently, screwed up last night, ( Read more...Collapse )

I fixed some issues on some sites. Then played Oregon Trail, but gave up when I randomly died of an accidental gunshot. Damn bastard spawn game.

A friend of mine informed me that he intends to attend college. It's kind of a big step (most) people wouldn't expect in his life, so I'm just a little bit proud and excited for him. He's realizing getting through the admission process is a lot harder than attending class, which is discouraging to just about everyone.

My birthday is coming up. I don't think I'm doing anything though. Not too much to do around here.

"Good bad times."
