Well, I guess it's time for me to write something in this damn blog, since I've had it for 4 days now.  Let's see, what can I babble about today....I suppose I could start with something simple, like talking about my day.  Ok, here goes: 

Today was a fantastic day!  Not everything went as I planned, but it all turned out great in the end.  Today, as a part of Spring Fling week here at NSU, they were doing free massages, free gel candle making, and an oxygen bar down at the Student Union.  (For those of you who don't know what an oxygen bar is, don't feel bad, I'd never heard of it before, either.  It's where they put these tubes in your nose and have you inhale pure oxygen.  It's supposed to give you this happy/high feeling.  Of course, our university doesn't condone getting high, so they had scented oxygen, which was supposed to be relaxing.  I didn't do it, though.  I'm not too keen on the idea of putting tubes in my nose.)  I wanted to go down and get a massage after my 11:00 class, but by the time I got there, all the time slots were filled.  I was a sad kitty.  But on the bright side, on the way there I ran into two good friends that I hadn't talked to or seen in a very long time.  So, it was all good.  Tomorrow they're having a crawfish boil.  Yum yum.  (Yes, I am a Cajun at heart.  I am originally from the Deep South, though I won't divulge exactly where.)  Even though these Northern Louisianians don't quite do crawfish the way they're meant to be done, they do get lucky sometimes and season them just right. 

Well, I think that's all that happened today.  That, and I came back to my dorm to find a note from my RA saying that my room was "very unclean".  Shoot, I could have told her that and saved her the trouble of walking in.  Oh well.  She says I have 24 hours to clean it, which shouldn't be a problem.  My room is a mess, and it's starting to bother me too, so yes I'll clean it.  I'm not really a neatfreak, except for bathrooms.  I just have my moments where I turn into my mother and I start pacing the floor, saying "This room is filthy!  It's depressing me!"  Yeah, she does that in the house.  I swear, if you ask her, that house is never clean.  It looks fine to me, but she always finds some speck of dust that just throws the whole thing off.  Sheesh.  Well, anyway. 

Ok, I'm done.  I'll come back later if I have something else to say.

Farewell,

TheFallenAngel

Well, the lab exam mentioned in my previous entry didn't go nearly as bad as I feared it would.  It was in fact multiple choice, which for me is a very good thing.  I didn't quite ace it, but I certainly passed it with at least a C, perhaps even a B.   

I should be doing an essay right now, but of course, I'm not.  It's due tomorrow at 2pm, so I'll have it done by then.  Cutting it close?  Maybe.  But I'll have it done, and that's all that matters. 

Let's see, what else....band was fun today.  Then again, band's always fun.  Today Mr. Matthews let us out early so we could go to the crawfish boil.  I heard they were weak, so I didn't go.  Besides, I had to study for the aforementioned exam. 

That was pretty much my day.  If I have any more random thoughts later, I'll let you know. 

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

This is perhaps the weirdest thing I've heard all week.  Courtesy of my friend Kevin.  I do believe he was either high or falling asleep.  (Likely the latter.)

"You know, this reminds me of when I used to work at Dairy Queen.  You had to sweep and mop the floors, but if you didn't sweep and mop the floors, then it didn't look like you swept or mopped the floor.  If you tried to mop it without sweeping it, it would look like shit.  If you would sweep it but not mop it, it would look clean, but it wouldn't have that shine.  *long pause*  What I'm getting at here...*another pause*...is that you should invest in a foreign car."

....Do WHAT now?!?!?!  Yeah, I don't get it either.  But it's funny as hell.  Me and Kevin's roommate were looking at each other like, "WTF??"  We just kept egging him on like, "Yeah, and if you used the squeegee, you should get an S.U.V." to which he responded, "Break out the Windex and get yourself a mother f---ing Mercedes!"  Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.  Anyway, that was my laugh for the day.  Thought you might enjoy it.

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

Here are a bunch of random quotes that have made me laugh in the past 24 hours or more.  (no explanation needed, they are funnier by themselves.)

"Groundbreaking.  Innovative.  Ow.  Ow!"--Keenan on some All That commercial

"Slide on the soap!"--Ed from Ed, Edd, and Eddy

"BELLY!!!"--my friend Matthew

"I think, therefore we have nothing in common."--a friend's away message

Hope I was able to bring a chuckle or two to your day.  If not, oh well.  Have a nice day!

Until next time,

Yes, that would be my random quote of the day, courtesy of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.  Anyway, today was an interesting day.  And since Kevin is likely never going to read this blog, I can go ahead and say that he was a TOTAL DIPSHIT!!!  Sorry, but he really was.  Let me tell you all about it:

Today, I had to go to wal-mart to refill my medicine.  It was Kevin who ended up taking me.  I had to write a check, so after we got back in his car, I called my mother at the house to tell her how much it was for so she could put money in to cover it.  My little brother Josh answered the phone and said that Momma wasn't there and Daddy was outside.  I was gonna hang up and call her cell, but Josh started talking to me about something and we just started having a good conversation.  I had been talking to him for about 5 or 10 minutes when Kevin suddenly started making snide remarks.  He was all, "You don't need to be on the phone, you need to be talking with me."  After I hung up with Josh, I looked at him and said, "Excuse me, but what the hell is your problem?"  He said he thought it was rude of me to start calling people and having conversations when I was with company. 

Ok, first of all (and don't think for a minute that I didn't tell him this), I didn't call to have a conversation.  It just happened.  Second and most importantly, my family comes first.  If I wanna call and have a conversation with a family member, then any company I have will just have to wait.  Nobody comes before my family, especially no man.  Least of all him.

The second story is just as disgusting, trust me.  Some of you reading this may know this, because you were there.  I was playing Yahoo Dominoes with my friend Matthew and his friend Victoria, and Kevin was with us too.  We were playing a game of 2 on 2, and we were in the middle of it.  I was getting hungry, so I asked the room if it was ok if I went to make some Ramen Noodles really quick.  Matt and Vic said yes.  Kevin said no.  I was like, "Well, why not?"  He said, "Gretch, the game's almost over, just wait."  (For the record, it was nowhere near over.)  I didn't want to start anything, so I just said, "All right, fine."  Matt and Vic were like, "Geez, Kevin, that was harsh.  Let the woman make her Ramen."  Kevin said, "You stay the f--- out of this."  I may be a little off with my quotes, but whatever.  Matt said something like, "What, do you own her now?"  Kevin said, "F--- you, Matt."  At that point, I got really mad.  I said, "You can't talk to him like that."  Kevin replied, "He can kiss my ass." then to Matt, "You trying to play the hero or something?"  I said, "He can kiss your ass right after you kiss mine.  I'm going make my damn food."  He left the game after that.  Matt and Vic were pissed at him like it wasn't even funny.  Matt ended up telling his girlfriend, and she was pissed too. 

Anybody that somehow thinks that I was in the wrong in either of these situations, don't let me know, because I won't listen.  lol  Seriously, I don't see how I could have been in the wrong either time.  And I can usually catch when I'm in the wrong. 

I've put up with his crap for a very long time.  I stick around him because I keep looking for that good person that I fell in love with a very long time ago.  (We're not dating now or anything, I'm just saying.)  Lately, I've been seeing less and less of that good person.  And I'm sorry, but any man that thinks he takes precedence over my family is a total asshole.

Of course, after he left the room, Matt's girlfriend joined us, and the four of us had lots of fun for hours.  It really cheered me up.  =)

Ok, I'm done for now.  Good night, everybody!

TheFallenAngel

 Well, right now I am trying to watch [adult swim].  There's some kind of stupid "hall bonding" party going on right across from my room, and it's loud.  I don't usually get bothered by noise, until I'm trying to listen to my own.  So right now I'm competing with them.  I'm winning at the moment, since the music's momentarily off.  =P

Anyway, today was an otherwise good day.  I take that back, today was a great day.  Nothing really spectacular happened, I just got to spend a lot of time sitting outside by myself, like I love to do.  It was a gorgeous day, and I got to enjoy it without being disturbed by the rest of the world.  It was great. 

Oh good, party's over.  Now I can watch my [adult swim] in peace.  =)

I'll write again later.  Until then, farewell.

TheFallenAngel

You know, maybe I should listen to my mother for once and go talk to my advisor and ask for help making my schedule for next semester.  I mean, I can easily do it on the web.  In fact, that's what I've been doing.  Last semester, I was scheduling at the last minute, and I kinda just had to go with whatever time slots were open.  This semester, I'm doing it early, so everything's open.  Of course, I didn't realize that, and I just kinda signed up for the first open classes I saw.  I just now took a look at my times and such, and let me be the first to say that it is the most gay-ass schedule I could ever have.  My Mondays and Wednesdays start at 1pm, while my Tuesdays and Thursdays start at 9:30am.  Wtf??  Ok, I seriously need to redo this crap.  I don't really care how early my days start, just so they all start around the same time.  Anyway, those are my thoughts at the moment.

Later,

TheFallenAngel

You kill for
revenge.
That is because you have lost something or
someone you held very dear. Now you can't seem
to get over the loss that marked your soul, and
the only solution is to go after the one person
who brought all this pain to you. Chances are
you are angry inside and you bottle everything
up and don't talk to anyone about it. People
may want to help, but you think that they can
never understand your pain and only get
frustrated because of this. But it is important
to see all that you have left and be thankful
of that even if you have lost something great.
It may not be true that Times heals all wounds,
but with time and talking about your feelings,
maybe the hurt will ease.

There is my quote of the night, courtesy of Carl from ATHF.  Anyhow, on to my thoughts for tonight. 

Tonight, I am thinking many things.  Many many many many many things. Ok, maybe not that many things.  Two main things.  1) I want to write a poem (so what else is new).  2)  A certain person.  He'll never read this, so as long as no one that knows him says anything, it's all good.  (Matt, I'm looking at you.)  =P

This conversation took place sometime Friday night.  I had last talked to him a few hours prior.  He told me he was signing off until Sunday because he was going on a trip.  So I told him goodbye then.  He signed on while I was playing video games, and I didn't hear him.  He responded to the away message I had up:

Big Brother Josh: enjoy playing your video games
Gretchen: hehe  Okey-dokey
Gretchen: Where are you at?
Big Brother Josh: play games and don't talk to me
Gretchen: Well meep
Gretchen: I didn't know you were online
Big Brother Josh: i'm in the music lab killing time before we leave
Gretchen: aaaaaaaaah
Big Brother Josh: went shot pool with paul elliot and kevin decided to join us
Gretchen: He mentioned that
Big Brother Josh: :-<
Gretchen: Wasn't fun?  =P
Big Brother Josh: it was okay he didn't complain too much
Gretchen: hehe  That's always a good thing
Gretchen: Hey Josh
Big Brother Josh: ??
Gretchen: You alone right now?
Big Brother Josh: why?
Gretchen: I wanted to tell you something.
Big Brother Josh: k
Gretchen: Before I say it, I just want to let you know that I don't want this to affect our friendship in a negative way.
Big Brother Josh: ummmmm k
Gretchen: Promise me that, before I say it.
Big Brother Josh: ok
Gretchen: I love you, and I have for over a year now.
Big Brother Josh: ok
Gretchen: Any other comments?
Big Brother Josh: were you expecting otherwise?
Gretchen: I thought you would freak out or something.
Big Brother Josh: well honestly i don't know how to react cause i'm not used to a girl telling me this
Gretchen: It's all right
Gretchen: I just wanted you to know, even if nothing came of it.
Big Brother Josh: i'm flattered if that is a good thing to say right now
Gretchen: It is
Gretchen: =)
Gretchen: I'm not asking you to return the feeling.  I mean, I certainly wouldn't mind if you did, but I'm ok either way.
Big Brother Josh: well i must go
Gretchen: okey-dokey
Gretchen: Have fun, and be careful
Big Brother Josh: always
Gretchen: :)
Gretchen: bye-bye, big brother

Well, I feel much better now that I've finally told him.  I was so afraid that he would be weirded out and not want to be friends anymore.  But that doesn't seem to be happening.  In fact, when I was talking to him yesterday, he seemed to be treating me a little bit differently.  Like in a good way.  He always treated me with respect, but it was as if he respected me even more, or on a different level.  It was almost as if what I had to say at the time had more importance than it used to. 

Well, I'm off to bed.  Good night, everybody.

TheFallenAngel

P.S.--In case any morons read this, he's not my real brother.  That's just a nickname I gave him a while back.

Here's to your life that I destroyed
Here's to your heart with which I toyed
Here's to your dreams I did not share
Here's to the fact I gave a care

Here's to the love I could not give
Here's to the lie I could not live
Here's to the tears that fill your eyes
Here's to my pain that never dies

Here's to nights I could not sleep
Here's to promises I could not keep
Here's to futile hopes you've had
Here's to the life you'll never have.

Cheers.  *pours a stiff drink and downs it*  There, that's better.  I'm not drunk.  Just relaxed.  Sleepy, even.  Good night.

TheFallenAngel

P.S.-- An item of slight interest:  This is the first poem I've written in nearly 2 years.  Not one of my better works perhaps, but it's all good.

Today started off really weird.  I woke up this morning and I went to church.  (That's not the weird part.)  While sitting in church, I realized I had forgotten to take my medicine this morning (ADHD).  This wasn't a big deal.  At all.  Normally, all that would have meant was that I would fidget a little more than normal and find my mind wandering more than usual.  Not a big deal at all, especially considering church only lasts an hour, and then I could just go home and take the medicine.  Does everyone get that it was totally not a big deal?  LOL  Seriously, I keep emphasizing that point because what ended up happening was not normal, and it scared the crap out of me. 

Once I realized that I had forgotten to take my medicine (not so much remembered not taking it as much as realized I was acting differently), my first thought was, "Oh well, just deal with it for now and take it when you get home."  As time went by, however, I realized I was feeling more and more agitated.  I couldn't stop fidgeting.  Not like a hyper child, mind you.  More like a person who's nervous and can't stop wringing their hands.  That's exactly what I looked like, too.  More time passed, and I realized I was feeling angry.  I was angry at myself for not taking my medicine, and I was hurting myself for it.  I couldn't understand why I was feeling that way.  It made no sense.  But I couldn't help myself.  I would keep clenching my fists and pressing my knuckles against the seat.  I was pressing them as hard as I could, trying to cause myself as much pain as possible.  I would snap out of it every so often and pull my hand away, thinking, "What is wrong with me?"  I tried my damndest to control those stupid urges.  It only got worse as the mass progressed.  One time I had my hands folded while I was standing, and I realized that I was turning my hands in such a way that I was going to break my fingers.  I kept my hands apart from each other after that.  I desperately prayed to God for help.  "Please, help me.  Make it stop."  I said.  Eventually it did.  Not entirely, but I was able to keep it under control a little better.  I was quite grateful when mass ended and I was able to go back home and take my medicine. 

I'm sure some of you are thinking to yourselves, "She's going through withdrawal from her medicine."  I would almost agree with you.  But I've forgotten to take my medicine plenty of times in the past, and I never reacted that way.  I don't know what came over me today.  Something just wasn't right.  Correction, something just isn't right.  I've been feeling not quite myself for about three days now.  Something is very wrong, and I have to find out what that something is. 

I think we're done here.  See you later, everybody!

TheFallenAngel

You know what?  Being sick seriously sucks ass.  Truly.  And the biggest load of crap is that I just got through being sick a week ago, and now I'm freaking sick again!!!  Ugh.  *sniffle sniffle*  I cannot stand having a runny/stopped up nose.  Not sure which I hate worse, that or coughing.  Of course, I'm not coughing much this time, so that's always good.  No need to have both at once.  *achoo*  Gah.  -_- 

Well, anyway.  I'm going back to bed.

TheFallenAngel

A - Age you got your first kiss: 15

Good evening, everybody.  It's been a few days since I last updated.  I've been....occupied, I guess you could say.  Nothing major.  Now, on to what I have to say:  Earlier today, I realized that in order to pass a few of my classes, I'm going to have to pull off a couple miracles.  And by miracles, I mean finishing some incomplete assignments in a damn hurry.  Yeah, I put myself in a bind.  Again.  Lord, I'm gonna need some help here.  So yeah.  Wish me luck on that.

Anyway, and Kevin is mad at me, yet again.  *shrugs*  No skin off my nose.  He wouldn't tell me why he was upset, but I'm thinking his roommate saw me hanging out with Daneil or Nathan, and since Kevin makes it out to everyone that he and I are dating (we're not), his roommate of course told him about it.  Ah well.  Whichever.  He can fume all he wants to.  I'm not his girlfriend, so I can hang out with whoever I damn well please.  None of his damn business, anyway. 

Well, I gotta go take my lab final.  Wish me luck and such.

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

You know...some people are just way too nosy for their own damn good.  Really.  Can't talk about it here.  Wanna know about it?  Leave a Kumquat.

Moving right along:  I had quite a nice day today.  I went and spent time with my friend Nathan while he was at work, and on his breaks he would come over and talk to me and help me study for my Biology final.  Watched the clouds go by as the sky went from gray to blue.  It was quite nice. 

Well, I suppose I have not much to say right now, other than this:  Today, I prayed harder than I ever have.  There's something I really want, and today I prayed for it.  I hope I get it.  More on that later.

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

Ok, this is gay.  Right now, I am really depressed, and I have pretty much no clue as to why.  Not a single clue.  Well, I have some clues.  But not many.  Mainly, the clues just don't make sense. 

For those of you who were bewildered by yesterday's entry, let me explain briefly:  Finals and these problems with my friends are stressing me out big time.  I am greatly looking forward to the end of the week, when I get to pack up and go home for the summer.  I live in a quiet little town that will remain nameless.  (Such is my online policy:  I don't care if people know where I'm going to school, but I'm not about to tell them where I live.  I refuse to put my family at risk.)  That quiet little town is just what I need to get rid of all this stress.  I can hardly wait until Friday. 

Well, I suppose I'd better get back to studying for now.  I may post again later. 

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

I'M HOME!!!!!!!!!!  Oh my God, you have no idea how happy I am right now.  I came out of my English final laughing and crying, knowing that I was finally free.  I packed up all my stuff, and me and my Daddy drove back to good old lfjdsief.  (Thought I was gonna say it, didn't you?)  It's great to be back, ladies and gentlemen.  It is great to be back. 

Well, now I shall go forth and sleep in my own bed.  Good night, everybody!

TheFallenAngel

Well guess what.  I failed English.  No big surprises there, I knew I was gonna.  Oh well.  There's always next year.  I think the reason I'm taking it so well is because I've come to the realization that nothing bothers me anymore.  I've been through pure hell, on the edge of a nervous breakdown.  Now that I'm home, I'm so happy that nothing, and I mean NOTHING, can bring me down.  Of course, once I get back to school, I'll probably get stressed again.  But who cares?  That's 3 and a half months from now!  Screw it!

On a lighter note:  Ladies and gentlemen, I have an announcement to make.  I am in love.  Yes, you heard me.  Some of you are probably going, "Wait a minute, what about that guy Josh?"  Well, I still love him, and I always will.  He just hasn't given me any other response since that one conversation I posted here.  I've pretty much given up on us ever dating.  It's just one of those things that ain't gonna happen.  And I'm not even worried about it now.  I do believe I've found someone that I feel even more strongly for.  I say this and I hope my feelings for him don't fade, like they have for everyone else I've fallen for.  I tell them how I care for them, then my feelings fade over time.  I hate when that happens, because it's not fair to them.  Especially because, more often than not, their feelings for me only grow stronger.  I hope my feelings for him don't fade.  I really like him.  Even if we don't work out as a couple, I just want him in my life.  I never want to hurt him, but I'm so afraid I'll end up doing exactly that.  Well, all I can do is hope for the best.

Well, 'bout time for me to be hittin' the old dusty trail.  See you later, everybody.

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for my random quote of the day.  *scattered applause*  Thank you, thank you.  Courtesy of Kevin, who has apparently forgiven me of all wrongdoing and is now talking to me again.  *shrugs*  Moving on:

Did I mention it was good to be home?  lol  Tomorrow I get to go see The Speedy One (translation:  My best friend Alicia).  Ah, good times, good times.  Yeah, stick two psychology majors in a room by themselves and just wait and see what happens.  lol

Anyway, I'm outta here.  Take it easy.

TheFallenAngel

P.S.--Voice chats can be fun, when you can actually hear each other.

(upon seeing me talking into the mic on my computer)

Daddy:  "Who are you talking to?"

Me:  "My boyfriend."

Daddy:  "Your boyfriend?!  Since when?"

Me:  "Since about 10 minutes ago."

Daddy:  "Oh good, then you'll be broken up by the time I walk across the house."

LMAO  Oh Lord, my Daddy is hilarious.  Just thought I'd share that with all of you. 

Until next time,

You like the sweet, shy type.

What kind of guy are you most attracted to? (CUTE anime pics)
brought to you by Quizilla

So true, so true.

You are a piano. You like to express your feelings
indirectly like in lyrics, poems, and stories.
You are careful in what you do and sometimes
pull a stunt. You are calm and peaceful. But
you usually don't talk to people first they
have to talk to you.

You are... Edward Elric. You are energetic and a
little pain sometimes but you are a kind person
over all. ^_^ Sometimes you state what others
don't want to believe because you feel it isn't
right to desieve people.

Which FullMetal Alchemist Character Are You????? (more characters to come)
brought to you by Quizilla

HELL FREAKING YES!!!!

You have a lost soul. You tend to be pushed around.
When you do take ur own way you seem to get
lost. You can be very sweet but are drawn back
when people think you are just a goodie-tushos
(which sucks believe me i would know)all in all
you are sweet and cute (attitude wise).

What kind of soul do you have? ( ENCHANTING anime pics)
brought to you by Quizilla

Something like that, yeah.

You love to love and don't care who knows.
Sometimes you go over board but sometimes it's
not always a good over board. You believe in
the love at first sight deal but sometimes
that's not always good.

How much do you love? GOOD PICS

This one I'm not so sure about.  I used to be like that.  Maybe I'm slowly going back to it....

You are the hopeless romantic type. You dream of
your prince charming all the time. You
sometimes find yourself staring at the guy you
have a crush on and get caught. You are called
the guy stealer perhaps or something on those
lines. You aren't though. Either the guys fall
for you or you know that if they don't have a
ring on their finger then they aren't taken.
You are nice though and helpful. You like to
hang out with your friends at the mall (guy
paradise). You can't get over guys but that's
ok and you know it!

What Kind Of Girl Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

Oh yeah.

Well, this was a dream I had several weeks back. I figured I'd write about it before I forgot. See, it was one of those dreams where I was just drifting off into sleep. Nathan and I had been talking earlier that day about souls, and as I was drifting off to sleep, I had the random thought of how to go about proving that people have souls. (For the record, I believe people have souls. This was just a random thought.) So I started drifting into sleep, and I dreamed I was fighting some guy. He had me on the ground and he was kneeling on top of me. He had one hand holding me down, and the other hand he had raised above his head, ready to either punch me or choke me. All the while, I was looking hard at him, trying to see his soul. (Doesn't make much sense now, but it did in the dream.) As I was looking at him, and as he had his hand raised, a breeze began to blow. He then started to disentegrate from the top down. As his ashes or whatever were blowing away in the wind, I looked for his soul. The whole top half of his body blew away, and there was nothing there inside it. No soul or anything. It freaked me the hell out, and I could not sleep for 3 hours.

Ok, I'm done.  I just wanted to document that.

Until next time,

Ladies and gentlemen, my random quote of the day, courtesy of the movie Gattaca.  Now, on to business:  Samurai Champloo is an AWESOME show!  It's weird, but cool.  I watched the premier last night on [adult swim], and now I am hooked.  I will definitely be tuning in for many Saturdays to come. 

Let's see, what else....Nope, I got nothing.  I'll come back later.

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

Good morning, boys and girls.  How is everyone on this fine day?  Doing well, I hope.  Anyway, on to business:

Today at 2:00, I have my interview for what might be my first job.  My Daddy is friends with the mayor of the city he works in, and she agreed to let me apply for an office job.  Yay!  Office-type stuff is what I'm good at.  Not quite what I'd want to do for the rest of my life, but that's beside the point.  I'm a little nervous for the interview, since this is the first real one I've ever done.  (I took a home ec class in high school, and we had to go through a pretend interview for a pretend job.)  So, wish me luck and such!  =)

At the moment, I'm at school with Daddy until my interview this afternoon.  So I'll probably be checking back in later.  Bye for now!

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

ANGER

Yay, I have a job now!  The interview wasn't nearly as stressful as I thought it would be.  The Mayor is a very nice lady.  Overall, it went pretty well.  But ouch, my feet!  *kicks off her uncomfortable shoes that her mother made her wear*  I blame her for these blisters.  =P

Well, I have to run now.  Later, everybody  =)

TheFallenAngel

sharp like an edge of a samurai sword
the mental blade cut through flesh and bone
though my mind's at peace, the world out of order
missing the inner heat, life gets colder
oh yes, I have to find my path
no less, walk on earth, water, and fire
the elements compose a magnum opus
my modus is operandi is amalgam
steel packed tight in microchip
on my arm a sign of all-pro
the ultimate reward is honor, not awards
at odds with the times in wars with no lords

a freelancer,
a battle cry of a hawk make a dove fly and a tear dry
wonder why a lone wolf don't run with a klan
only trust your instincts and be one with the plan

[chorus]
some days, some nights
some live, some die
in the way of the samurai
some fight, some bleed
sun up to sun down
the sons of a battlecry

some days, some nights
some live, some die
in the name of the samurai
some fight, some bleed
sun up to sun down
the sons of a battlecry

look, just the air around him
an aura surrounding the heir apparent
he might be a peasant but shine like grand royalty
he to the people and land, loyalty
we witness above all to hear this,
sea sickness in the ocean of wickedness
set sail to the sun set no second guessing

far east style with the spirit of wild west
the "quote-unquote" code stands the test of
time for the chosen ones to find the best of
noble minds that ever graced the face of
a hemisphere with no fear, fly over

the blue yonder where
the sky meets the sea
and eye meets no eye
and boy meets world
and became a man to serve the world
to save the day, the night, and the girl too

[chorus repeat]

Today was my first day at my first ever job.  Basically, I'm a little secretary for the Recreation Department.  What did I do all day?  I answered the phone, I took messages, I wrote out receipts, I counted money, I called a bunch of coaches to let them know that all the games for tomorrow are cancelled....you know, stuff like that.  Basically, my job is to run the office while he runs all over the world taking care of his other business.  Kind of like Alfred to Batman, eh? 

Today, I'm working 8-5, mainly because that's when Daddy can come pick me up.  My boss has been in and out of the office all day long, and now I do believe he's gone for the rest of the day.  He said he was going to go visit one of his ball players who's in the hospital.  And you know, not long after he left, I noticed something.  I got up and took a look around, and I do believe I am the only person left in this building.  That's interesting.  So in case you were wondering why I'm writing at work, it's because no one's here and I'm done with everything he asked me to do. 

And now I just noticed something else.  The doors are locked from the inside, so I'm not exactly "locked in".  My question is, how am I supposed to lock the door behind me when Mr. Boss Man up and took all his keys with him?  Oh, and apparently, there's still one other lady left in here.  She just called me to ask if he had left any keys, to which I replied No.  She's in the same predicament I'm in.  lol  Well, hell.  I guess we're just gonna have to sit here and wait on him, aren't we?

Well, that's all I have to say at the moment.  Except for the fact that my back hurts.  Ah well, it'll pass.  Later, everybody!

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

I was so close!  I was so freaking close!  I almost had the entire game beaten!  But no, Sephiroth and his one wing had to cast Super Nova and obliterate me!!!  Of course I can try again, and I will.  I was just so close (I think.  There was no surefire way to tell).  I was almost thinking I could have the whole game beaten by midnight.  But that didn't happen.  I died at like, 10 minutes to midnight.  And since the last save point was located 3 battles ago, I thought to myself, "Screw this, I'm going to bed."  Ah well.  I'll get him next time.  And of course, I got to hear the greatest final battle music of all time, "One Winged Angel."  (If I didn't know any better, I'd say that he timed his Super Nova attack almost perfectly with the music.  =P )

Now that I think about it, that song is almost rivaled for best final battle music of all time.  By whom, you ask?  "It Can Waver and Fight" for Mithos Yggdrasill from Tales of Symphonia.  His final battle music is just cool.  Although, I think Sephiroth wins anyway in this contest. 

Well, I must be off.  I shall post later if I have anything more to say.

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

I don't believe this.  My cell phone is gone.  Where did it go, you ask?  Straight into someone's pocket, I'm sure.  I'm not the type that jumps to conclusions.  I prefer to think logically about all possibilities.  The last time I saw my cell phone with my own two eyes was this morning at 8:30ish.  I came into my boss' office with my purse on my shoulder and my phone in my purse.  He was talking to his worker boys, and I had my phone on silent.  While waiting for him to finish, I opened my purse to look at my phone to see if I had any missed calls.  That's how I know for certain that I had my phone with me in that office. 

When the boys left, I put my purse and other things down on a chair. When my boss left, I sat in his chair and read my book when I wasn't answering the office phone.  A couple people came in the office for one reason or another, but no one came near my purse (that I saw).  Before I continue with my story, I want it to be known that I am not accusing this girl I'm about to talk about.  The evidence at hand just doesn't add up in her favor.

A girl came in while I was typing and said she was going to empty the trash.  She did, then asked if she could sit down in the other empty chair (not the one with my purse in it).  I said sure, why not.  So she did.  I chit-chatted with her for a little bit, then my Daddy came in to bring me lunch.  I talked to her as I ate, and then I went to my phone again to check for missed calls.  It was gone. 

Now, a person thinking logically like I try to do would have this as their first thought:  "It fell deeper into the purse."  I eliminated this possibility right off the bat, because my purse is packed tightly and arranged in a particular way, with the cell phone fitting snugly at the top.  However, my purse doesn't always stay closed like it should, and sometimes it falls over and my cell phone falls out.  So that was my first hypothesis.  I began looking around for it, and she even helped me.  It was nowhere to be found.  I even looked under obscure places, and I never found it.  So my next hypothesis was, "It's been taken."  Either by accident or intentionally, I didn't care.  I just wanted to find my phone and get it back.  By no means did I want to accuse the girl.  But she was the only person that went anywhere near my purse.  And I just so happened to have my back to it when she did.  So for all I know, she could have taken it.  I had glanced over to her jeans pockets, and they were flat.  So she didn't have it on her then.  I never outright accused her, I never even suggested it.  She was defending herself left and right, though. 

Well, she left for her lunch break after that, and I called Daddy and my boss.  Daddy called Momma to have her turn off my phone, and my boss came back as soon as he could.  He questioned his boys that were working with him, and he said none of them took it.  They brought the girl back and questioned her, but she denied taking it.  Once she had left the room, the man that was with her said he was pretty sure he saw her with it. 

So I don't know.  I'm dissappointed that I wasn't watching my things more carefully, I'm dissappointed because someone who acted so nice ended up taking advantage of me, and I'm worried about someone else having my phone.  If it's turned off, she can't use it.  But she (or anybody that has it) could still get all the numbers I have in it.  That worries me.  They didn't find it on her, so perhaps she got rid of it.  If she threw it in the trash somewhere, I'd be happy that at least my phone will be destroyed and no one will have those numbers.  As it is, I'm upset that my parents are probably going to have to spend more money on my buying a replacement cell phone. 

I don't care if she stole it or not.  (The likelihood of that at this point is pretty high.)  I don't care who stole it, or even if no one stole it, if perhaps it just walked away on its own.  I just don't want anything bad to happen because someone else has my phone.  So, anybody that reads this who knows my cell number, it's off now, so if you were planning to call me on it, tough luck.  And if anybody whose number was in that phone gets some calls from people you don't know, I apologize in advance.  I'm so very sorry if that happens. 

Well, back to work I go, then.

(Today's random quote courtesy of my boss.)  Good news, ladies and gents.  I got a replacement phone sent to me yesterday.  (yay!)  So now I can start getting everybody's numbers again.  lol  Oh, and to certain people that kept telling me, "it's just a cell phone!", I could care less about the fact that I was missing a cell phone.  I was angry because I was nice to a girl (I even gave her half my lunch), and then she stole from me.  That pissed me off.  But, no matter now.  I'll likely never see her again, so it's not my problem anymore.

Let's see, anything new to report.  Oh yes:

I FINALLY BEAT SEPHIROTH!!!!!!

Woohoo!  Yay!  *happy freaking dance*  Yes, I kicked his ass and then I got to enjoy the long, dramatic, well-earned ending.  I was quite happy.  Now it's time for sidequests.  =)

Anyways, I'd better get back to work.  Nothing really to do at the moment, but you know.

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

Somebody please explain to me how I managed to misplace my boss.  X_x  I'm serious, nobody can find him.  The man's got 2 cell phones and a pager, and he's not answering any of them.  He's not at City Hall, he's not at any of the ball fields, people are coming to me looking for him and they're getting mad at me because I have no idea where he is.  Help!

Thank you, Daddy.  Leave it to you to give yet another random quote for today.  hehehe

Finally found my boss, for those of you who are wondering.  He was in City Hall after all.  They lied to us.  lol  They took him and kept him hostage in the back and made him work on budgets.  They took away his cell phones until he was done.  =P  Ah well.  We got him back in the end, so everything turned out ok.

All right, I'm pretty much done for the night.  Later, everybody.

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

I like Thursdays.  I don't know why.  I just do.  Maybe it's I normally don't have diddly squat to do on Thursdays, and I can just sit on my ass and do whatever I want.  lol

I am once again writing at work.  I do believe I have figured out my boss' system.  I pretty much had it from the first day.  He takes his keys and says, "I'll be back in a minute," and then he drives off.  This translated means, "I'd like to be back in a minute, but someone's gonna catch me along the way and ask me to go do something, so I'll actually be back in a few hours."  Well, he just now left with his keys, saying, "I'll be back in a few minutes."  I thought to myself, "Good Lord, I'll never see him again."  =P

Here's what I'm thinking about at the moment:  I read in someone's blog about the new Nintendo system, the Revolution.  Now, I'm not typically one that has to have the latest systems.  My GameCube and my little brother's PS2 are not yet past their prime, so I plan on continuing to use them.  However, if I were a rich person and my GameCube suddenly went kaput, I would definitely invest in a Revolution.  It has backward compatablity with every Nintendo system all the way back to the NES.  Now that's cool.  I gotta wonder, though:  How did they do it?  I mean, the cartridges for all the systems are different, so how did they get one console to take them all?  Thing must have a million openings.  lol  I'm sure there's a simple way that they did it.  Can't wait to see.

Ow.  My back hurts.  It really hurts.  I don't expect any of you to do anything about it, I'm just letting you know.  =P

My boss said he wouldn't be here tomorrow, and that it was up to me if I wanted to come to work or not.  I'd mostly rather stay home, so I wouldn't have to wake up early.  But if my parents say I have to go to work, it's fine by me.  It's either sit on my ass at home or sit on my ass at work.  Either way, I'm sitting on my ass, which is exactly what I want to be doing.  lol

Well, I'm pretty much done for now.  See you later, everybody!

Until next time,

This song describes my life to a T.  It's almost scary how true it is for me.

"Scars" by Papa Roach

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And my scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
I'm pissed cause you came around
Why don't you just go home?
Cause you channel all your pain
And I can't help you fix yourself
You're making me insane
All I can say is

[Chorus:]
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That you're drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassion's in my nature
Tonight is our last stand

[Chorus]

I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
You should've never come around
Why don't you just go home?
Cause you're drowning in the water
And I tried to grab your hand
And I left my heart open
But you didn't understand
But you didn't understand
Go fix yourself

I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life

[Chorus x2]

My throat hurts so bad.  It feels like it closes up when I try to swallow.  I haven't eaten much in the past two days because of it.  I'm hungry, but I can't eat.  It hurts.  I just hope it isn't my tonsils or anything like that.  Well, enough complaining.  Here are some random quotes:

"Do you wanna have sex?"  "No!"  *pause*  "Yes!" -- Everybody Loves Raymond

"Iiiii'mmm...drunk!"  -- Daddy (no, he wasn't really drunk)

hehehe  Good stuff.  Well, that's all I have to say right now.  I'll report back later.

Until next time,

My random quote of the week, courtesy of my friend Daneil, who neglected to tell me that he was playing Yahoo Pool at the time.  Funny stuff. 

Yes, I am back.  Back after a week-long battle with some sickness that I thought was mono.  Apparently it isn't, because it's already going away.  I think.  I hope.  Well, I'll know for sure on Monday, when I go in to have an official test.  I really hope it isn't mono, because Nathan is supposed to come down next weekend, and I don't want him down here if I'm sick and whatnot.  Oh, the things I have to deal with.  =P

Well, I'm outta here.  Momma's making lasagna. =)

Until next time,

I was going to post yesterday at work, but I didn't exactly get the chance, and I'll tell you why.  While I was gone, they hired another girl to be in charge of concessions and such.  (Not to replace me, which I was afraid of.)  Well, I quite frankly don't like this other girl.  She's stuck up, she never laughs, she rarely smiles, I try to talk to her and joke around a little bit, and all she does is, "Hm."  And she took my computer away from me.  Bitch.  lol  Ah well, she's not always here like I am, so I still get to have the compy to myself.  Fact remains, I don't much like it when she's around. 

Anyway, today I came in at 8ish, as usual.  She came in about 9, and then a lady from the mayor's office came in.  I was a little skeptical about this lady, because she seemed bent on over-organizing the place.  I mean, my boss is a mess, but she was going a little overboard with the ideas she had.  =P 

Well, I had almost decided I didn't like her either when the other girl (Erin) came back into the room with money bags.  The lady looked at her and said, "You're going to count money?  Out here in the open?"  "Well...yeah."  "Don't you want to go somewhere else, where it's more quiet and less out in the open where everyone can see?"  "Um...sure, I guess so."  So the lady took Erin to another room and got her all nice and set up and everything.  When the lady came back into the office, she smiled at me and said, "I got her out of your hair, no need to thank me!"  I was like, "Lady, you rock."

Well, now it's just me and Erin in the office.  She's ready to leave, but I'm stuck here until about 5, when Momma comes to pick me up.  No big deal to me, but Erin doesn't want to leave me alone in the building.  Quite nice of her, but ya know, being alone in the building is kind of what I've been waiting for.  =P

Finally, she leaves.  The building is mine!  (woohoo?) 

Anyway, I'm done with this entry.

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

Me: Your turn
Kevin: booooooo
Kevin: the pony was gigantic and could turn blue if it was mad
Me: Well, one day it met a green pony
Kevin: And they decided to make a purple pony =P
Me: hehehehe
Kevin: your turn
Me: Well, the purple pony wanted to see the world
Kevin: so, it started to fly by jumping off of a cliff, halfway down he realized that, unlike his parents, he didn't have wings
Me: So he grabbed onto a branch and then climbed his way back up
Kevin: but, realizing that he had no opposable thumb, he just started falling again =P
Me: He grabbed the branch with his teeth.  =P
Kevin: he then magically grew wings
Kevin: (thank god for puberty)
Me: *laughs*
Me: He flew up to the clouds
Kevin: he then realized the sever lack of oxygen that exists in the upper atmosphere and lowered his altitude, only to crash into a sleigh with a bunch of flying reindeer, and screamed out "Road-Hog"  to which a man in a Red suit replied, "Bitch!".
Me: lmao
Kevin: your turn
Kevin: this is fun
Me: hehe 
Me: Well, he continued on his journey and decided to stop off in Africa
Kevin: But realizing the threat of AIDS and starvation, he replied, "Fuck That!"
Me: =P
Me: So he stopped in Italy instead
Kevin: he then started to pig out of pizza and spaghetti, and he got to meet the pope
Me: He asked the pope what the meaning of life was
Kevin: The pope said "To look creepy, which means I am going to heaven!"
Me: roflmao
Me: The pony got scared and flew away
Kevin: He then flew to France, where he began feasting on all 365 official cheeses of France, which gave him severe gas
Kevin: meep
Me: I thinking  =P
Me: so once he was over his severe gas, he decided to stop in Slovakia and visit our good friend Peter
Kevin: He bought a watermelon from Peter's fruit stand
Me: .......?
Me: Ooooooooook  O_o
Kevin: Peter runs a fruit stand in the summer
Me: aaaaaah
Me: I did not know that
Kevin: and he sells watermelons
Me: awesome  =)
Me: So he ate the watermelon and wanted another
Kevin: But he didn't want to pay Peter's outrageous prices, so he flew to China to get some Kung-Pao chicken instead
Me: *laughs*
Me: After the chicken, he was tired
Kevin: But he wasn't about to sleep in this Communist-Shithole
Me: lmao
Me: So he flew to Australia
Kevin: But after his millionth time of answering to "Howdy Mate!  What'll it do ya?!"  He attemped to swallow an entire bottle of aspirin....:-P

Kevin: LMAO
Me: hehehehehe
Kevin: He was now being chased by topless women, leading everyone to believe he was the biggest pimp ever

Kevin: lol, that's the end
Kevin: pretty good story if you ask me
Me: lol  Me too
Kevin: he got laid by several women in the end, sounds like a damn happy ending to me
Me: hehehehe

For God's sake, don't ask.  Comment if you want, but just don't ask.  =P

So my day at work was highly amusing.  Here's how it all went down:

When it all started, I was by myself in the office.  Then the phone rang, as it always does.  I answered it, and it was a man by the name of Chris Dubois.  He wanted some information about the all-star league, so I was in the process of getting it for him.  As I was doing this, Erin came in.  (She's really starting to lighten up, btw.)  After a few minutes, Mr. Timmy and John (two of my coworkers) came in as well.  It turns out I couldn't find all the information the man needed, so he needed to talk to my boss.  I was trying to stay professional and not sound like an idiot, so I was trying to ask the boys where my boss was.  I saw his truck outside, but I didn't see him anywhere.  I kept asking, "Hey Timmy, where's Mr. James?"  But I got no answer, they never heard me.  I was getting frustrated, so I asked Mr. Dubois to hold on for a second.  I put the phone down and I said, "Where in God's name is Mr. James?!"  And I still got no answer.  So I picked the phone back up and, in the most professional voice I could, I said, "I'm sorry, sir, but no one's listening to me right now."  He laughed at me so hard. 

Well, he told me to have Mr. James call him back the minute he walked in.  So I wrote that down when I hung up.  I finally got an answer out of the boys, Mr. James was outside on his cell phone.  When he walked in, I said, "I have important things to say!"  John said, "I'm not listening!"  I looked at him and said, "Good, cuz I'm not talking to you!"  Mr. James laughed and said, "You learn quick."

I told him to call that man, as well as the mayor of (insert name of neighboring town here), who had also called.  The phone rang after that, and he started talking to someone else.  I knew he would never remember to call those two people, so I waited patiently for him to hang up so I could remind him.  At this point, it was me, John, and Erin in the room with him.  Mr. Timmy had walked out of the room to call someone on his cell phone about a T-shirt order.  Well, a few minutes passed, and Timmy comes back in, still on the phone.  He started trying to get my boss' attention:  "James.  James!  James!"  John says, "Hey man, you see that white thing on his ear?  That means he's on the phone!" 

I really thought that was funny, but I was trying not to laugh too loud, because Mr. James was in fact on the phone still.  So here's Timmy waiting, holding his cell phone in his hand, with the T-shirt guy still on hold.  We waited in silence for a few minutes, then Timmy started getting impatient.  He took his cell phone and started waving it in circles in the air.  He said, "You better hurry up, James, this guy's gonna get dizzy!"  I thought I was gonna die laughing.  I had to hold it in as much as I could until Mr. James finally got off the phone, but once I was alone in the building, I called Nathan and told him the whole story, laughing my ass off. 

Well, that was my day at work.  Much fun.  See you guys later  =)

Until next time,

Five Questions

Earlier today, Erin was printing out some signs for the concession stands.  The printer ran out of color ink, so she changed the cartridge.  After she did, the printer refused to start working again, for some reason.  So while she fiddled with it, Mr. Timmy was standing there picking at her.  Finally she said, "I give up, I don't know what the deal is."  So Timmy walks over to the printer all big and bad, saying, "Watch, I'm gonna fix this bitch."  He goes over and pushes a button, and the printer starts making noises like it's about to work.  Timmy's all, "See that?  I fixed it!  I told you!"  So he's all proud of himself.....Until the printer starts spitting out blank pages at him.  He was all, "No!  Printer, please!  Stop!"  I swear to God, I nearly died laughing. 

I said it before to Erin, and I'll say it again:  Sometimes I think I'm working for a damn 3-ring circus.  And I love every minute of it.

Until next time,

You know what?  I have officially decided that my cause of death is going to be lack of oxygen due to excessive laughter.  And I will fully blame this job!  =P

Until my next pointless entry,

"If somebody's Momma comes up to me tomorrow at one of the games and tries to start shit with me, I don't care how ugly she is, I'm gonna kiss her on the lips and tell her to have a good day, because I don't give a shit anymore. And by that time, I'll probably be so delerious that I'll actually do it."

I'm telling you, people, this job's gonna kill me.  ^_^

Until next time,

"Let's weigh this out....A ditz, and a guy that thinks he's gay......Perfect match!!!" -- Nathan

"See, she likes you!  Or she wants to kill you, I'm not sure which." -- Me

Yeehaw.  =P

Until my next random post,

Big Brother Josh: blarg
Me: blarg?
Me: Why blarg?
Big Brother Josh: cause it's a funny looking word

Hoorah for random convos.  =P

This has been another random pointless entry brought to you by,

TheFallenAngel

You know, one downside of this job is that I have learned firsthand the true meaning of "Don't shoot the messenger."  Today's example:  My boss told me to call the coaches of all the softball teams and ask them one simple question:  If we held an end-of-season tournament this Saturday, would their team participate?  You would think that people could answer that without any fuss, right?  WRONG.  If they say yes no or maybe is not the problem.  But every coach I've called (with one exception) has been all, "Well I gave James my answer already."  I'm like, "I'm just doing like he told me to do..."  And I just got bitched out by one coach who was all, "We need to know now, James needs to make a decision himself, he's the guy in charge, it doesn't need to be a vote" etc. etc.  I was this close from just telling the guy, "Why don't you call him yourself and tell him that?!"  Geez.  My boss is an overworked, absent-minded man, and people get mad at me for it.  After that little incident, I put the phone down and said to the two guys in the room, "You know what?  I'm not calling any more coaches."  If Mr. James asks me why I haven't called everyone, I'll tell him exactly why.  He probably won't be happy about it, but I don't think he'll blame me for it. 

In other news, my weekend was fantastic.  Nathan came over and chilled with me.  Well, not exactly "chilled", since it was rather hot outside.  =P  More on that later.

Well, I'm done for now.  Crazy lady is on her way here.  I shall post later. 

Until next time,

P.S. -- For some awesome poetry, go check out karamac and randomthinker 

My random quote of the day, courtesy of tl365.  I read that and I just thought it was really funny.

Well, I have virtually nothing to say about the Michael Jackson verdict.  I had a feeling he would be found guilty, but it appears I was wrong.  I'm not saying I believed he was guilty.  I'm also not saying I believe he was innocent.  I had no opinion on the matter.  I didn't follow the trial closely enough to see all the evidence and testimonies, so I don't have enough information to form an opinion.  I chose to just leave the whole thing alone.  If he truly is guilty, then he is despicable.  If he truly is innocent, then he is simply a strange and unfortunate man.  I do not know, and I will not guess. 

On the other hand, here's what my Daddy had to say about it:

"You know, that's just what the jury thinks.  That might not be what actually happened!  That's just what they think!  So stick that in your pipe and smoke it!!!"

I'll do that.  =P

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

"I beg your pardon!  I'm making those cheap moves, do you mind?"

Wow.  My father never ceases to amuse me.  He's going out into the camper in the backyard to work on music, and he took the cordless phone with him.  He said for us to push the "page" button on the phone dock if we need him.  Well, I tested his theory, and it worked.  It was just really funny to talk to him from one house phone to another and hear the dial tone in the background the whole time.  =P  Anyway, I think that's enough random pointless entries for one night. 

Until next time,

"Yeah, I got her stuff.  She can come get her stuff for her stuff to do her stuff." -- Mr. James

"They give you three promotions for you to be stupid!" -- Mr. Timmy

"Ya needle-nosed idiot!" -- Mr. Timmy again

Well, that's all the ones I can remember.  I know damn sure I laughed more than that, though.  Ah well.  =)

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

This has been a really shitty week.  With the exception of the good laughs I had earlier today, my week has just been really aggravating.  I'm sick and tired of dealing with stupid people, and I just wanna be alone.

May post later if I feel like it.

TheFallenAngel

Many thanks to everyone who tried to cheer me up last night.  I really appreciate y'alls concern and sympathy.  Thanks, everybody. =)

Until next time,

Note:  I actually wrote this entry last night.  But due to Mindsay being momentarily stupid, it got deleted.  So, here it is, all nice and retyped.  (And of course every time I say "today", I am referring to yesterday, Father's Day, since that's when I originally wrote it.)

*stands on top of the soap box*

Good evening, everyone.  My name is Gretchen, and I am an idealist.  Yes, I am.  I am not ashamed to admit it.  In fact, I am quite proud of it.  I believe that human beings should treat each other a certain way, and it upsets me when I see otherwise.  Which I did today.

First of all, let me give a little background about the people in question:  My Nanny (my mother's sister and my godmother) has four children, three boys and one girl.  (All of them are much older than me, hence why I refer to them as "Aunt" and "Uncles".)  The girl, my Aunt Trisha, lives two hours away.  Of the three boys, two of them (Doug and Danny) live here in town (Uncle Doug lives right across the street from her, in fact), and the other (David) lives about 20 minutes away.  I really don't like him very much, but oddly enough, he's not part of the reason I'm mad this time.  Anyway, other characters in this little tale:  Pomen is what I call Nanny's husband (his name is Francis, he's my godfather and uncle), and Grandma is of course Momma and Nanny's mother.  Oh, and then there's Grandma's husband, who we all called Pa.  He died last November.  I could go on forever about him, but that's not why I'm here.  Anyway, on with the show:

Today after church, Momma and Little Josh and I walked over to the mauseleum to go visit Pa.  When we walked back to the van, Nanny and Pomen pulled up alongside us in their truck.  Nanny asked, "Where y'all off too?"  Momma answered, "Oh, we're meeting Joe (Daddy) at Fezzo's (local restaurant).  I thought about calling you to come along with us, but I figured maybe Doug or Danny had invited you over for lunch already."

Nanny's reply:  "No, nobody called us.  Doug invited Grandma over for lunch, but he didn't call us."

.......

Excuse me while I say what I'm really thinking.

WHAT KIND OF @$%&*&^*^#@@#^(&()*)%*@!!%^# LIVES ACROSS THE STREET FROM HIS OWN FATHER AND DOESN'T INVITE HIM OVER FOR FATHER'S DAY???????????

*ahem*  And now a calmer version of that statement:  This is not right.  Something is very wrong here.  Am I the only one who sees that?  I don't care, it's there.  An injustice has been done today, and I am highly upset and offended by it.  Upset because it hurt someone close to me, and offended because it goes against how I believe things should be.  Of course, this isn't the first incident of its kind.  Oh no.  They never go visit her.  Ever since Pa died, Doug and Danny have stopped going to visit Nanny and Pomen, for some strange reason.  I even asked Momma in the van, "Did they have a disagreement or something?"  She said, "No, I don't know what their problem is."  Oh, but they damn sure are trying to butter up Grandma.  Taking her places and inviting her over and all this and that.  If they were doing it just to keep her from being lonely without Pa, that would be all fine and dandy.  But I don't trust them.  Then again, it's not like they can get anything from her.  Everything goes to the daughters before it would get to them.  Anyway.

The fact remains that they don't visit their own parents anymore.  In fact, nobody visits Nanny anymore.  She's lonely.  And I am partly to blame, because we live just down the road from her.  I could ride over on my bike, but for some reason I just never do.  Next time I have a day off, I'm gonna ride over and see her.  Her and Pomen are in their late 60's, and he hasn't been doing so well lately.  Momma told me that Nanny once said to her, "If Francis dies before me, I want to move into a retirement home so I won't be lonely all the time."  She already has one picked out.  That is wrong.  That shouldn't happen.  My Nanny is the single sweetest and nicest person I have ever known, and she is lonely.  Something is very wrong about that.  Very wrong indeed.  This is a great injustice to her, to me, and to everything I believe about the way humankind should act.

You know, I've notice something about all these relatives of mine (exluding Nanny and Pomen).  Ever since Pa died, this family has fallen apart in strange ways.  One group forms their own little "clique", and then everyone else gets mad at them for it.  But then another one does something that pisses everybody off, and suddenly everyone sides with the "clique" against that other person.  They plot, they whisper, they're two-faced.  I hate it.  I don't hate them, but I hate what they do.  And Grandma is no help.  All she does is instigate and then act like she knows nothing about it when we come talk to her.

I can't help but think that Pa is watching all this from up in Heaven, sighing and shaking his head, much like I'm doing now.  I can see it now, one day he's gonna throw a hammer down at us.  =P

I think we're done here.

And at the end of the day, Daddy was looking at a fire escape map on the wall when he noticed they had mispelled "exit" and instead they had "exist".

"Look at that!  There are four exists!  That means you can exist only here, here, here, and here, but not here or here!!"

hehehehehehe  Funny stuff.  =P  (I just cannot believe they mispelled "exit", good Lord.  And it wasn't typed, it was handwritten.  So yeah.)

That was of course today's random quote, said by Mr. Timmy to Mr. James. 

And now for our next feature:  Boys that have been working out in the heat for too long.  Things get interesting when these poor guys have had a little too much sun:

Mark:  "Hey.  Hey.  Hey!"

John:  "Whaaa?"

Mark:  "Call Sy."

John:  (has no cell phone) "On what, my Inspector Gadget phone?"  *picks up hand*  "Go-go gadget phone.  Sy.  It's John.  Where you at?  Uh-huh.  Yeah.  Ok, bye."  *hangs up*  "He said he'd be here in about 10 minutes."

Then a few minutes later:

Mark:  "John.  John!"

John:  (all slurred together) "I can't hear what you're sayin'."

Mark:  "Call Sy!"

John:  "Sy.  Sine.  Cosine over pi, times adjacent, hypotenuse...squared...equals 5."

Oh yeah.  I was rolling.  Them poor boys needed a break, big time. 

I'm outta here for now.

I open my eyes
I try to see but I’m blinded by the white light
I can’t remember how
I can’t remember why
I’m lying here tonight

And I can’t stand the pain
And I can’t make it go away
No I can’t stand the pain

How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

Everybody’s screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I’m slipping off the edge
I’m hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again

So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
And I can’t explain what happened
And I can’t erase the things that I’ve done
No I can’t

How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

I made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

--Simple Plan

We came back from a week-long vacation in Arkensas (which was quite fun) to find out that our kittens were dead.  Let's see, leaving out the details, for they were slightly graphic...Mr. Ryan (friend of the family who was looking after our house while we were away) called today and said he found one, um, near death, and put it down.  He looked for the other one but never found it.  So...yeah.  My brother's pretty broken up about it, and while I'm not as depressed as he is, I am kinda sad.  Not to mention I'm wishing I hadn't heard the details. 

I'm going to go ride my bike now.  Will post random quotes and funny stories later.

"You know, digging for diamonds is like fishing: The best time to dig is in the early morning or evening, because the diamonds like to swim up to the top of the dirt." -- Daddy

Funny stories in next post.

During my vacation in Arkensas, I made friends with several children there. 

First, I met up with a 10-year-old drama queen by the name of Adrien.  That was quite interesting.  Not much to tell about that particular encounter, though.

My next adventure came in the form of two little girls by the name of Zoe (five) and Z.Z. (three).  They were the most adorable little things I've ever seen.  Z.Z. asked me where did I live, and I told her "Louisiana."  She asked, "What's that?"  And I answered her, "It's the state right below this one."  Perhaps that wasn't the best way to explain it.  After a moment's thought, she asked me, "Do you live underground?"  =P  Then we had an interesting encounter with a lightning bug (firefly, if you are so inclined).  We saw one flying around, and Zoe caught it in her hands.  She came back to me and Z.Z. and opened her hands to show us, but the lightning bug was gone.  She looked up at me, "Hm?"  Z.Z. looked up at me, "Hm?"  I looked back at the two of them, "Hm?"  And we sat there going, "Hm?  Hm?  Hm?" for like a full minute, until I saw it come back and I went, "Hm!"  And then when it was time for me to leave, they each gave me a hug and kiss goodbye.  1, 2, 3, shaaaaa.  ^_^

Next I met up with a 12-year-old from Ohio by the name of Jeff, who collected bottlecaps.  He was kinda shy, so he didn't say much.  His Dad is a band director, so that was one common ground we had.

Ah yes, and then there was Andrew (nine) and Anastasia (five) from Florida.  Talkative little things, yes.  Didn't bother me any, though.  However, I did end up having to bite my tongue, because I was given a very odd piece of advice by Andrew:

"If you ever see a black-tailed squirrel running toward you, run the other way.  If you don't, he will come and pin you down until his buddies come to carry you off into the trees."

And the thing is, he was dead serious when he told me all that.  So, I had to sit there and keep a straight face the whole time.  =P

And then there's his sister.  "Sometimes at night, I see movies in my eyes."  I really liked that.  That's a good way to describe a dream, especially coming from a five-year-old.  Quite the profound little girl, I must say.  Innocent as they come, and wise.  She said something that just about floored me.  She was hanging out with me at my camper, and we were getting ready to leave, so I said I would walk her back to her camper.  As we were walking, she looked up at me and said, "You don't have to walk me back, I've walked by myself before."  I said, "Well, I just wanted to make sure you got back safe.  I would feel better if I saw it with my eyes."  She replied, "And in your heart too?"  I swear, I think I stopped walking for a second.  She's five.  FIVE.  God, I love the wisdom of children.  So pure, so simple. 

Well, there are my stories.  I shall likely post again, for I am on a caffeine buzz.  =P

Until next time,

For the past two days, I've been in a really strange mood.  I have no idea why, and I have only a vague idea what started it, but I've been a little green-eyed monster.  I mean, I've always been a very jealous person.  I just normally don't show it because I manage to tell myself I'm being quite unreasonable.  Which of course I am.  But these past couple of days, I've been like a little guard dog almost.  Like this girl Nathan's been talking to.  I know damn well they're just friends, and she's like a million miles away, but every time he tells me he's talking to her I'm like, "Grrrr....."  And then later on, I was talking to a guy friend who said he had his girlfriend over, and again I was like, "Grrr...."  And just now I read a friend's blog where he talked about this girl he was hanging out with, and again I say, "Grrr..."  I barely even know the guy!  Geez, what the hell is wrong with me?  Why am I turning into a possessive little puppy all of a sudden?  =P

In other news, I did a lot of thinking while I was on vacation.  Thought about life, love, and stuff.  Let's just say I carved my findings into a secluded wooden bridge.

I have begun reading The Wastelands, book three of Stephen King's The Dark Tower series.  Rather good so far, but then again I expected nothing less from this series.  =) 

Had me some wine last night.  Nasty wine.  Had to mix it with some koolaid so I could tolerate it.  =P 

Well, that's all I have to say at the moment.  Bye-bye now.

I am in a fan-friggin-tastic mood today!!!!  ^_^

hehehe  I just drop-kicked Mark in the arm after he said that women have periods because they "bleed the devil".  =P  Yeah, he's dumb.  Therefore an easy target.  :D

Ok, I'm gonna go dance again.  :p

Here I am, once again, updating from work.  Well, Mark got me back, apparently.  I was reading and he snuck up on me and popped me on the head.  =P  That's all right, though.  He and I are gonna have a go one of these days, we already declared that.  I like to wrestle.  ^_^  And not the kind you see on TV, I'm talking just play-fighting, rolling on the ground, all that crap. 

Poor thing, as cute as he is, he's a real dumbass.  I'm talking caveman-type stupid.  But oh well.  He's really a nice guy, so I have nothing against him.  Still gonna beat him up, though.  :p

P.S.--Entry title taken from a conversation in the book I'm reading.

It seems that today has done a complete flip-flop. 

My morning started out as absolute shit.  See, since I don't have my liscense yet, my parents wake me up in the morning and drive me to work.  I've been setting an alarm lately, though, so I can try to wake up and get ready without them having to get up so early.  Of course, morning person that I am (ha ha), I often fall back asleep after turning off my alarm, so my parents end up yelling at me to get up anyway. 

Well, I take off my watch when I ride my bike because the clasp is loose.  I rode my bike yesterday, and I forgot to put it back on last night.  So, when my alarm went off this morning, I knew it was 6:00 because, well, that's what time I had it set for.  Of course, I fell back asleep for what I thought was a few minutes.  When I woke up, nobody had yelled at me yet, so I thought I was still doing good.  I got up, got my clothes, and went into the bathroom to get dressed.  Had no earthly idea what time it was, but I thought I was doing all right just the same.  So I'm in the bathroom getting dressed, and my mother comes and knocks on the door and starts fussing at me.  I'm only halfway listening because I'm still halfway asleep, but then she said something that caught my attention:  ".....an hour and a half late for work!"  I said, "Why am I gonna be an hour and a half late?"  "Because it's almost 9:00."  "Why is it almost 9:00?!"  "Because you didn't wake up and get dressed when your alarm went off.  I heard it come on, and then you turned it off and didn't wake up."  "Why didn't you tell me anything?!?!?!"  "Because you need to learn your lesson." 

AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That bitch.  Of course, I'm the one who overslept, but if she knew I was going to be late, she should have said something!!!!  God damn!  I thought it was like 7:00 at the latest!  Grrr. 

But yeah.  So I finish dressing and come out the bathroom, pissed to high hell.  I wasn't going to say a word to either one of them, I was so mad.  It's not like I was going to get fired or even in trouble for being late.  My boss would say it's my own time I'm dealing with, not his.  I was just mad in general that I was late for work.  So I walk into the kitchen, and there is my little brother, making me a sandwich.  He starts talking to me as he makes the sandwich, asking me did I want this or that and did I want a drink and it was gonna be ok, and then he gave me a hug.  I started crying, half because I was so mad, and half because he was just such a caring person, trying to cheer me up like that.  He even took me into the living room and watched TV with me while I waited for Daddy to come back and pick me up.  Didn't wanna say much to Daddy either, cuz all he had to say was, "You need to start waking up in the morning and blah blah blah."

Anyway, this next part is gonna seem really dumb to some of you, and to the rest of you, it's going to simply not make any sense.  But it worked for me, so bleh.  I got my paycheck yesterday, and it was for a week's worth of hours (since I had a whole week off for vacation).  It was like $150 or something.  Normally I give my checks to my parents, and they take them and deposit them into my savings account.  "That money is for an emergency."  Momma says.  In other words, not for me to have.  =P  Well....My checking account is rather empty, I have no cash, and I hadn't told my parents yet that I had gotten paid this round, so.....I had Stupid Lady (Mrs. Susan) take me to the bank in town on my lunch hour.  I was like, "Screw this, I want some damn money.  I'm cashing this bitch."  lol  Not like I had anything in mind to spend it on, but still.  That was my "revenge" of sorts.  Not that big of a deal, but now I have money, yay!  And then afterwards, she went to Wendy's to get her son lunch, and I went inside and bought me some lunch.  It's a really good feeling to eat the first meal that you paid for with money that you earned.  ^_^

Well, that's all I have to say for now.  See y'all later!

Until next time,

--excerpt from "Brain Stew" by Green Day

Today's random quote, courtesy of my boss, who was tired of answering his cell phone.  Just to let everyone know, I won't be updating from work as often as I used to.  Not for a while, anyway.  Things are pretty hectic around here, so I'll be pretty much staying out of people's way until it all settles down. 

Fear not, my laughter-seeking disciples.  The random quotes and funnies will still get posted.  :p

I better get off of here now.  The weather's looking kinda scary.

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

Well, I have work at 5am.  We have a big-ass tournament this weekend, and I am scheduled to work concessions tomorrow morning, as well as Saturday and Sunday morning.  So, the big question was:  Sleep or no sleep?  Well, the no sleep would be easy, and I was actually gonna do that.  But now I'm a bit tired.  So perhaps a little nap is in order.  I have a feeling I won't be asleep long, so I will likely post later on to pass the time.

Good night for now.

TheFallenAngel

My day has been not too damn bad so far.  It actually got off to an interesting start.  As I said, I had to be at work by 5am.  Which I was.  I woke up, got dressed, got in Daddy's truck, and he drove me to the field where I was supposed to meet Erin.  Only one problem:  Erin wasn't there yet.  So, we waited a few minutes, and when she didn't show up, I called her.  She said, "Wait a few minutes, I'll come unlock it eventually."  I was like, "Ok then."  So Daddy, being ADD and impatient like me, started driving back and forth between the field and the building where I work.  Nobody was at either one.  Daddy was starting to get pissed off, and I was getting there.  I mean, I knew she had a million other fields to unlock, so I wasn't getting really mad at her.  Just wondering if coming at 5:00 was such a good idea.  =P

Well, she finally did show up.  At 6:00.  So...yeah.  Again, I wasn't mad at her.  I just made a mental note that tomorrow and the next day, I will show up at 6 instead of 5.  She even said that was ok, so it's not really that big of a deal.

After that, my day went fairly smoothly.  No random funnies today, since I didn't see very many of my regular coworkers.  But that's all right.  There will be more in due time.

There is one slightly funny story.  For a while, I was the only one working.  Which was fine by me, because it was early morning and there wasn't a big rush yet.  So when people would come and ask for something, I would calculate in my head how much it would be.  Well....This one lady came up around 8:40ish, with two young girls.  I asked them what I could get for them.  (Ok, stay with me here.)  First it was a pickle.  I said, "Ok, 75 cents."  "And a Mr. Pibb."  "Ok."  I got the pickle and then the Mr. Pibb, then "and another Mr. Pibb!"  I was like, "Ok, no problem."  So I grabbed everything, tallying up the price in my head as I walked.  I brought them to the lady and said, "That'll be--"  But I didn't exactly get to finish, because all of a sudden, three more little girls showed up.  Each of them wanting a pickle and one of them wanting yet another Mr. Pibb.  I was like, "Argh!"  So I got all the pickles, gave them out, got all the Mr. Pibb's, gave them out, then I told the group, "Ok, nobody move!  Stand still so I can see what all you have and add up the price!"  So they stood still while I added it up in my head.  I finally got the total, $8.25.  So I looked up and said, "It all comes to eight--"  "And a bottle of water and another pickle."  In my head, I screamed, "God damnit, woman!!!"  =P  (For anyone who's curious, her final total was $10.50, for certain this time.  lol)

I shall go forth now and ride my bike.

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

P.S. -- I may have been mistaken about the exact amounts of pickles and Mr. Pibb's in my retelling of the story, but my price totals are correct.

Everyone at the Recreation Department gets the day off today, so I got to sleep until 10am.  Yay!  Now I shall go forth and play video games or whatever the heck I feel like doing until karate tonight.

Pointless entry?  Maybe.  But oh well.

Until next time,

"You make it, you eat it.  So said the wire-haired dog.  *pause*  What the hell does that mean?"

--Daddy

I've got a question out of pure curiousity:

Who on here is a virgin by choice?  I'm curious to know who else is willingly riding the v-train besides myself. 

And then answer another question for me:

Is it worth it?  And I don't really want a religious answer.  I mean, it's fine if that's how you feel about it.  Personally, my motivation isn't religious, although I was raised that way.  Screw it, give a religious answer if that's what you believe makes the whole thing worth your while.  I want honesty from everyone.  And if you believe it in fact isn't worth it, say so.  There are no right or wrong answers, really.

Let me know,

TheFallenAngel

P.S.--And if you're not a virgin and have something you want to say on the topic, feel free.  I'm just trying to understand something in my life right now, and any opinions on this general topic are appreciated.

All right, ladies and gents.  Time for funny stories and random quotes.  Well, mostly funny stories that go along with what could be random quotes.  Anyway.  Here we go:

The morning started off with Brett (a nosy arrogant coworker) acting like he was the shit, like he usually does.  Mr. James called him on it, and T.C. (another coworker), who was reading a catalog and holding it up as if it were a newspaper, said without turning around or even looking up, "You're really getting to be on the shit-list, Brett.  Giving everybody trouble and shit.  Damnit."  You had to have been there, but it really was funny when he said it.  (The next one is better, I promise.  lol)

As much of a jerk as he can be sometimes, Brett's an OK guy I guess.  He's generally nice to me when he's not being full of himself.  That is to say, he's never mean to me.  Anyway, so I asked him if he would drive me to somewhere so I could pick up lunch, and he said yeah.  So me, him, and Mark all got into his truck.  And argh, they both smoke.  >_<  Thankfully, they both had their windows down.  But every now and then, one of them would turn to talk to the other and a cloud of smoke would come my way.  *cough cough hack cough*  Anyway, we got to the red light, and Brett went to make the turn.  As he was making the turn, Mark said, "Shit, I just dropped a whole god damn cigarette out the window."  We both laughed at him, and he was all, "I'm gonna make you turn around.  Nigga, I'm serious, turn around!"  Of course Brett is not that stupid, thank God for that.  But yeah, I'm sitting there thinking to myself, "Gee, what a loss."  =P

Oh, and while looking through my purse just now, I realized something.  Brett kept the change from my ten-dollar bill that I used to buy my food.  Didn't even tell me, just kinda kept it.  That little shit.  I mean, if he wanted me to pay him for driving me, I would have done it.  But damn, boy, ask first before you keep my money.  -_-  Ah well.  Nothing major.  I'll just beat him up later.

Anywho, so they drop me back off at the office, where Mr. James is just leaving for a meeting at City Hall.  So he leaves, then Erin leaves, and I'm by myself in the office to read my book.  A couple hours later, Mark and Brett show up again to wait for some guy that wanted them to help him move some ice.  So Brett walks in and says, "Get out of my chair!" like he always does.  I was like, "Your chair?  Since when is it your chair?"  I knew he was joking, but he really is full of himself like that.  Anyways, so him and Mark sit down to figure out their time sheets for this week.  Poor Mark, City Hall has screwed up on his last three or four paychecks.  So he's going through his time sheet and he says, "I swear, if they screw up on this one, I'm gonna quit!  Look, I'm gonna make a copy of this bitch so they can't argue with me!  I'm gonna stick it in the printer and ba da bip bop bap boom!"  I'm laughing my ass off because not only did he just make the stupidest noise I've ever heard, but I'm also wondering how he expects to copy something by sticking it into the printer.  =P

So the two of them are talking, and another man who works on the other side of the building (we'll call him Mr. L, because I only know him by his last name, and I don't give out last names on here if at all possible) came into the office, carrying a large wooden frame of some sort.  He set it down and said, "I want you boys to take this to City Hall."  Mark said, "What is it?"  Mr. L said, "Some kind of shit."  Brett laughed and said, "So you want us to take this down to City Hall and tell them 'it's some kind of shit'?"  Could you imagine the look on the mayor's face?  lmao

So they took off to go bring the some kind of shit over to City Hall.  Mr. James comes back, and then my Daddy and little brother showed up to check on me.  I went outside to talk for a bit, and then they started to walk away.  All of a sudden, Daddy bent down and picked up something out of the bushes in front of Mr. James' window.  It was an empty liquor bottle.  Daddy handed it to me and said, "Go throw that away."  And then he walked off.  See, I didn't want to just waltz into the office and throw it in the trash.  If it was just Mr. James in there, it wouldn't have mattered.  But he was talking with someone, and I wasn't sure who this someone was.  I didn't want to walk in there with an empty bottle of alcohol, making myself and Mr. James look bad, you know?  So I'm standing there wondering what to do, when Erin drives up with a lady that was doing community service.  I explained my situation to Erin, and she said, "You want me to throw it away?  Cuz I don't care, I'll do it."  I was like, "Ok, thanks!"  So she takes the bottle and walks ahead of me.  When Mr. James looked up and saw Erin walk in holding an empty liquor bottle and me right behind her trying not to laugh, the look on his face was one of pure confusion.  It was great.  (btw, it turns out it was one of the coaches he was talking to in there.)

Then Brett and Mark come back from City Hall, and Mr. James hops up again to go back to City Hall.  (He is quite a busy man.)  So once again, Brett is acting like he owns the place.  Him and Mark start fiddling with their time sheets again, and Brett says something about it being his office.  I laughed out loud at that, which made the lady that was there with Erin laugh out loud as well.  Brett threw something at me, so I walked over and kicked him in the leg.  Mark, who knew from firsthand experience, said, "See, I told you!  She's got a killer kick, what did I tell you?"

So I'm just kinda standing against the filing cabinet while they fiddle with their time sheets.  Erin is sitting in a chair doing her thing with concessions, and the other lady is just kinda standing in the doorway.  The whole time Brett was trying to figure out his time sheet, I was biting my lip trying not to laugh at him.  Not becuase he was having trouble, but becuase he acted so high and mighty and just came off looking stupid.  At one point, he looked up at all of us with this very serious look on his face and said, "I need my office space, shoo shoo."  I was trying my damndest not to laugh.  I really was.  But then I looked up at Mark, who had this little grin on his face and seemed to be waiting for me to say something, and then I glanced over at the lady, who went, "...ppfffffffffffffffffftt...."  And we both cracked up.  It was awesome.  Brett was so pissed.  He probably hates me now.  lol

Well, I think that about covers it.  This whole day had about a week's worth of funnies in it.  Good thing too, cuz I have the rest of the week off.  =P

Anyways, will post later.

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

You guys are not gonna believe this.

Remember right after I came back from my vacation in Arkensas, and I posted about what happened to our kittens?  For those of you that don't, here is the entry:  http://thefallenangel.mindsay.com/?entry=122

Well guess the frick what.

I was riding my bike earlier this evening, going up and down my long-ass driveway as I am prone to do.  I had gotten to the end of the driveway and was making my little u-turn when all of a sudden, guess who comes trotting out of the woods right beside our house and right past my bike?  I'll be damned if it wasn't Jenny, the smaller of the two kittens.  I could not believe my eyes.  I got off my bike, picked her up, and walked all the way back to the house with her in my arms. 

When I got inside, I said pretty much the same thing I started this entry with:  "Y'all are not gonna believe this."  Daddy looked up from where he was sitting with a look of pure amazement.  He called out, "Josh, you might wanna pause your game for this."  So I walk over to Josh's room, and he about cried when he saw her.  It was just awesome.  And she was perfectly fine.  She looked great, healthy, and she seemed none the worse for her adventures.  Seems as though she escaped whatever's out there with merely a scratch above her right eye. 

I believe this is one of those little things you might call a miracle, no? 

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

Today is my boyfriend's birthday!  *balloons and confetti*

Go forth and tell him Happy Birthday!  (He has not blogged yet today, but just leave him a reply on whatever his most recent entry is.)

Will post later,

TheFallenAngel

EDIT:  Here is a sign for him.

"Everything Burns"

She sits in her corner
Singing herself to sleep
Wrapped in all of the promises
That no one seems to keep
She no longer cries to herself
No tears left to wash away
Just diaries of empty pages
Feelings gone a stray
But she will sing

Til everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
All of this hate
And all of this pain
I'll burn it all down
As my anger reigns
Til everything burns

Ooh, oh

Walking through life unnoticed
Knowing that no one cares
Too consumed in their masquerade
No one sees her there
And still she sings

Til everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
All of this hate
And all of this pain
I'll burn it all down
As my anger reigns

Til everything burns
Everything burns
(Everything burns)
Everything burns
Watching it all fade away
(All fade away)
Everyone screams
Everyone screams
(Watching it all fade away)
Oooh, ooh
(While everyone screams)
Burning down lies
Burning my dreams
(All of this hate)
And all of this pain
I'll burn it all down
As my anger reigns
Til everything burns
(Everything burns)
Watching it all fade away
(Oooh, ooh)
(Everything burns)
Watching it all fade away

The name of the person telling this story has been left out to respect their privacy.  Let it be known that the mother in this story is not neglectful of her children.  If this had happened to me, I would have freaked out at first, and then laughed my ass off after the fact.  As I'm sure anyone else would.

Friend: know what mommy did
Friend: its kinda funny
Me: what?
Friend: she went into the grocery store and she has my neice and nephew as well as my lil bro
Friend: and she gets groceries and everything
Friend: comes out of the store, has everything in the car, and is about ready to drive off, and realizes she left my niece in the buggy in the store and put the watermelon in the car seat

*falls out of her chair laughing*

Holy shit, I can't breathe.  XD

As promised, here are a few fansigns that I owe people.  (Just so you know, for the longest time all I had was red paper.  =P )

Here is one for Steeni (hauntedwhisper ):

Taking a break from the Chris saga, here are random quotes:

"Crikey!  I found a wild boost capsule!" -- Marcus, making fun of something I said.  =P

"Brett's an interesting guy, isn't he?"  "He's an idiot." -- Me and my new friend Danny

*song on the radio*  "Baby...you're driving me...crazy.." *Daddy shouts*  "Then don't drive!"

*snickers*  Yeah, that's about it for the moment.  Today was a highly slow day.  Nobody at work, and the internet was down.  =P  So I spent most of the day reading Wizard and Glass, the fourth installment in the Dark Tower series.  I swear, I'm gonna start spouting off the High Speech one day.  lol

In other news, last night I found out how highly my friends think of me, and today I found out how much of a damn my coworkers give about me.  You know, it's little things like that that make me feel so good inside.  Let me explain what I'm talking about.  Big Brother Josh introduced me to one of his new friends last night.  This new friend was dying to talk to me because Josh, Rob, and Daniel had all been speaking so highly of me that he wanted to see what all the fuss was about.  =)  Then today at work, all the boys were leaving and I said, "Y'all come visit me later!"  And a couple hours later, I was reading, and Brett and somebody else drove past, and they honked their horn and waved at me.  Made me feel all special.  ^_^

Anywho, I'm outta here.  Gonna work on the Chris story some more.

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

Before any mass chaos starts:  This guy is not my real brother.  Just a very close friend.  I do have a younger brother named Josh, but I refer to him as Little Josh to avoid confusion.  Anyway, *deep breath* here goes. 

Dear Josh,

It's really hard to figure out what I want to say right now.  Heh, that's what always happens when I'm around you.  I get all tongue-tied, and I can never say what I really feel.  I know you're never going to read this, and I guess that's all right.  It would be kinda pointless to show you anyway.  I know you only like me as a friend, and I'm ok with that.  I'm happy with you just being a part of my life.

You always try and look out for me, even if you don't make it blatantly obvious.  I may get mad when you fuss at me for certain things, but I know deep down you're only doing it because you want what's best for me.  You push me to always do better, to always be the best I can be.  Even when it seems as if you're criticizing my childish tendencies, I look back and see that you're only trying to help me become more grown up.

I was told the other day that you and Rob and Daniel all spoke very highly of me.  It makes me so happy to know that you all love and respect me so much, but it means the world and more to know that you think of me that way.  All I've ever wanted was your love and respect.  Whether that love was romantic or platonic, I wanted it.  Now I know that I have it, as well as your respect, which I value even more.  I've always looked up to you more than any of my other friends, because you were by far the most mature out of all of them.  To know that you respect me and speak of me as an equal is one of the greatest feelings I've ever had in my life. 

What I'm trying to say is...thank you, Josh.  You've made my world a thousand times brighter just by being a part of it. 

I love you, Big Brother.

Happy Birthday.

Love, Your Lil Sis

Ladies and gentlemen, a while back, I posted a list of random funnies from my high school years.  Well, upon retrospect, I realized I had forgotten one.  Then I realized it may have been for the best.  This one is so random, it deserves its own entry.

One day in Algebra class, our teacher was lecturing as usual.  She was in the middle of her lesson when suddenly, Mitchell (who sat in front of me) picked up his head and asked...

"Do you ever wonder what people would look like without a nose?"

7/26/05 -- A day that will live in infamy. 

Don't believe me?  Go to unclenasty 's blog and see for yourself.

I have spoken.

This just happened no more than 10 minutes ago:

My mother came home and brought the mail inside.  I'm at my computer, obviously.  She says, "Oh, Gretchen?" and she walks over to me with an envelope in her hand.  She has that look on her face again, from this morning.  She holds it out to me and I take it, looking at the address.  It was from Ian.  She gave me a look again, then turned and walked away.  I started opening it and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"  She said in a little smart-ass voice that shows clearly where I get it from, "I'm just curious."  I decided I would dare to mock her, and asked in the exact same inflection, "Why are you 'just curious'?"  "Well, you said that you weren't gonna be in any serious--"  Oh, for the love of..."Well, if the man wants to send me a card just to say hello, then he is certainly free to do so!"  Heh, I said this before reading the card, and while I was pretty sure I was right about its contents, I kinda wondered for a second if I should have waited to argue.  But I was right, it was just a friendly card to say hello. 

So yeah.  Geez.  Woman.  Stop it.  Gah.

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

A.K.A. "First Lady" Gretchen

I heard this song the other day for the first time in several years, and I've had it on frickin' permanent repeat ever since.  =P

"All Apologies"

What else should I be
All apologies
What else could I say
Everyone is gay
What else could I write
I don't have the right
What else should I be
All apologies

In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun

Married
Buried

I wish I was like you
Easily amused
Find my nest of salt
Everything is my fault
I'll take all the blame
Aqua seafoam shame
Sunburn/freezerburn
Choking on the ashes of her memory

In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun

Married
Buried

Married
Buried

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

All in all is all we are...(repeat until end of song)

--Nirvana

NICE.  Teehee.  Not only are the lyrics awesome, but the music!  God, the guitar part just gets me exhilerated.  ^_^

Ok, I'm done being a music nerd for the time being.  =)

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

P.S.--I'm still First Lady Gretchen, for anyone who's wondering.  I just decided it was unnecessary to put it on every entry.  =P

...............................ATTACK OF THE YAHOO SMILIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our kitten, Jenny, is quite mischievous.  My Momma doesn't like cats in the house, so Jenny stays outside.  But of course she likes to run into the house every chance she gets.  She's pretty quick, but I can usually see her before she gets in and I try to stop her.  Well, today, she somehow outsmarted me.  It was suppertime, and I was coming in from riding my bike.  I was heading to the door, and I saw her dart past me.  I thought she would run to the steps, but instead she ran under the car.  I got to the door and looked behind me, to see if she was waiting to run in when I opened it.  I didn't see her anywhere, so I turned back around and quickly opened the door.  I went inside, looked quickly to see if she was trying to follow, and when I saw her nowhere in sight, I closed the door and went to lock it.  Suddenly I heard a *thump*.  I turned around, and there she was, in the house.  I swear to God, I didn't even see her come in.  She must have freaking gone invisible or something.  There was no way she could have gotten past me otherwise.  X_x  I'm just joking, but man.  She must be DAMN fast. 

Another mischievous thing she likes to do:  I'll be sitting outside, and she'll come up onto my lap.  I'll start petting her, then stop and lay my arm down beside me.  She'll go and nuzzle my arm, like she wants me to keep petting her.  Of course, I have a time limit in which to respond.  If I don't move after about two seconds, she turns and bites my arm.  =P

Ah well.  She is adorable and she loves us, even though it's hard to tell sometimes.  lol

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

EDIT:  I was just informed that my cat did not go invisible.  Rather, she has teleportation powers.  All cats have this power, and they can use it at will, with very little effort.  Many thanks to Ian for bringing this to my attention.  =P

I can't remember for the life of me where I got this from, but I loved it.  Whoever made it, props to them. 

Teehee.  =)

I got this list when I was in driver's ed.  It cracked me up.  I found it just now when I was cleaning out my purse, and I thought I should share it with you guys.  Enjoy.  :)

The following are actual statements found on insurance forms where car drivers attempted to summarize the details of an accident in the fewest words possible.

"Coming home, I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don't have."

"The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its intentions."

"I thought my window was down, but I found out it was up when I put my head through it."

"I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way."

"A truck backed through my windshield into my wife's face."

"The guy was all over the road.  I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him."

"I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my Mother-in-law, and headed over the embankment."

"In my attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole."

"I was on my way to the doctor with rearend trouble when my U-joint gave way, causing me to have an accident."

"I had been driving for 40 years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident."

"My car was legally parked as it backed into the other vehicle."

"The pedestrian had no idea which direction to run, so I ran over him."

"A pedestrian hit me and went under my car."

"An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car, and vanished."

"I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the road when I struck him."

"I saw a slow-moving, sad-faced old gentleman as he bounced off the roof of my car."

"I told the police that I was not injured, but on removing my hat, found that I had a fractured skull."

"The indirect cause of the accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth."

"I was thrown from my car as it left the road.  I was later found in a ditch by some stray cows."

"The telephone pole was approaching.  I was attempting to swerve out of its way when it struck the front end."

"To avoid hitting the bumper on the car in front, I struck the pedestrian."

"I had been shopping for plants all day and was on my way home.  As I reached an intersection, a hedge sprang up, obscuring my vision, and I did not see the other car."

"As I approached the intersection, a sign suddenly appeared in a place where no stop sign ever appeared before.  I was unable to stop in time to avoid the accident."

Like I said, people, I couldn't make this crap up if I tried.  =P

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

As much as I greatly desire to be among the top blogs today, I will not go so far as to eliminate friendly competition.  In fact, I don't even consider this competition.  I just thought this was really freaking hilarious, and I wanted you guys to see it.

http://deeterz.mindsay.com/?entry=349165

Go forth, and enjoy.  =)

TheFallenAngel

Random quote of the day, courtesy of my little brother.  *applauds*  Right on, brother.  Good job.  Just walk by my room and randomly say that.  Yeah.  You go, boy.  (Before anyone comments about him having low self-esteem, he wasn't really referring to himself.  Rather, to his character on a video game.)

Anyway, now, let's see....what the crap did I do today....not a God damned thing, really.  I woke up at 11am, I sat on my ass in front of my computer until about 5pm (much of that time spent talking with the ever-sexy callmeroger, teehee), then I rode my bike until 7:15pm, then I came inside and sat back down in front of my computer.  And, here I am!  =P

At this point in time, I am patiently waiting for supper to be ready.  My mother is cooking a stuffed chicken and a green bean casserole.  Neither of which I much care for, but the chicken smells damn good.  I'll probably have some of it.  And if I don't like it, well, there's always Chef Boyardee.  :p

Yay, it's ready!

Will likely post later.  =)

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

YYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I DID IT!!!!  I GOT #2 TOP BLOG!!!!!!  YIPPEE!!!!!!!

*balloons and confetti*

*happy dance and cartwheels all around the room*

Let me stop dancing and cartwheeling long enough to congratulate two other friends of mine:

cambriacase for his thought-provoking entry about GLAAD, which was ranked #5

and

deeterz for giving us a new take on Anger Management, ranking at #6

Bravo, guys!!!  *standing ovation*

And while I'm at it....I think I must say that callmeroger CHEATED!!!!!  Yes, he CHEATED!!!!  Not that the #1 Top Blog was undeserving or anything.  I just think it was highly sneaky of him, the way he tricked people into clicking on that link without them knowing it would nominate the entry. 

Sorry, honey, I still love you and everything, and I am highly grateful for your free advertisement.  Heck, without that, I probably wouldn't have made it into the #2 spot.

But you still CHEATED!!!!!!

Oh well.  I made it!  Yay!

*more celebrating*

*cookies and punch all around*

The party goes on all night, folks.  =)

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

Silly me, I was so busy celebrating, I forgot to say....

Thanks to everyone who nominated me and my friends!!!  Y'all are the COOLEST!!!!  ^_^

*the party goes on*

TheFallenAngel

Time for beddy-bye.  =)

Good night everybody!

TheFallenAngel

Courtesy of the oh-so-sweetie callmeroger!!!  ^_^  (Yes, I forgave him.  I beat him up and it's all over and done with now, so we're cool.  lol)

That is all for now.  More later, maybe.

2. Darkness
3. Silence in the Darkness
4. Being alone in the Silence in the Darkness  =P
5. Not having enough money to afford to go back to school
6. Looking like a fool.
7. My parents (namely my Daddy) finding out that I've had a "sex life" (not really "sex" but you know what I mean).  My Daddy is so proud of me being a virgin, I know it would upset him to find out that I've done anything along those lines, even if it's not all the way sex.
8. Hurting people that I'm close to
9. I love heights, but I am afraid of falling.

9 Things that attract me to the opposite sex:
1. If they are musicians, preferrably in marching band.
2. Video gamers that like RPG's.
3. I like guys who can think for themselves.  (I cannot stand when a guy just sits there and agrees with everything I say.  I mean, I don't like to start debates, but it's annoying when a guy just agrees with you because he's afraid of you.)
4. Has a sense of humor similar to mine (random, silly, and witty).
5. He doesn't have to love kids as much as I do, just so that he is nice to them and doesn't criticize me for enjoying their company.
6. I like guys who are open minded.
7. What I call a "practical gentleman".  (as in, he does gentlemanly things when he can, but if you already have your hand on the door then he lets you open it yourself.)
8. Likes to smile a real smile.
9. They respect me as both a woman and a girl.  (If that doesn't make sense to you, then oh well.) 

8 things i love:
1. Momma.
2. Daddy.
3. Little Josh
4. Children
5. The Speedy One.
6. All my "brothers"
7. Music
8. Laughter

7 things I dislike:
1. Guys that think they have privelages.
2. Teachers that go on power trips
3. Stupid people.  (If you know me well, you know what this means.) 
4. People that just throw judgement on others.
5. Having to write essays/research papers
6. Feeling foolish
7. When people lie to me.  (the one lie I hate the most is "nothing's wrong".  I can see straight through that one if they're not telling me the truth.) 

6 random facts about me:
1. I say "meep" a lot.
2. I like to have my hair played with.
3. My first semester in collge, I had a crush on my math teacher.  =P
4. This semester, I have that same teacher again for a different math.  ;)
5. I'm inwardly arrogant about my intelligence, and I try really hard not to be, because I know it's not very nice.
6. The only book of the Bible I've ever read in its entirety is Revelations.  I greatly enjoyed it. 

5 things i plan to do before I die:
1. Get my black belt.
2. Raise a family
3. Make a difference (whether it be to the world or just a few people).
4. See my little brother get married and be successful.
5. Lead or conduct my own marching/concert band.

4 things I want to do right now:
1. Create something.  Anything.
2. Sing.
3. ...teehee.
4. Play Prince of Persia: Sands of Time 

3 things that annoy me:
1. Stupid girls.
2. Nosy and arrogant boys.
3. Being treated like I'm immature.

2 things I can do:
1. Remember conversations almost to the letter, depending on how well I was listening.
2. Arrange video game music.  (not compose, arrange)

1 thing I can't do:
1. Draw or paint a picture.  I am not a visual artist.  I have so many images and creations in my head, but I simply cannot recreate them on paper.

I don't know all of these songs, but the titles did fit.

1. Pick a band and answer only using the band's song titles:

Nirvana

2. Hows your life:

About a Girl

Jesus Don't Want Me for a Sunbeam

Come As You Are

Love Buzz

Sappy (but not in a bad way)  :)

Talk to Me  ;)

Do You Love Me?

All Apologies

Ok, that's all.  Nighty-night, everybody!

TheFallenAngel

My random quote of the day, courtesy of Daddy.  We were in the waiting room at the doctor's office, and we were the only ones in there.  He got bored, so he started heckling the TV.  =P

I took the most awesome picture today on my way to my doctor's appointment.  Here's how it happened:

It was me, Daddy, and Josh riding in my car.  The weather was really bad, but every now and then we'd hit some clear patches where it wasn't raining, but the sky was still dark as ever.  I'm listening to my headphones and staring out the window at the lightning.  Suddenly, I see a patch of pink sky over on the horizon.  It looks like a huge wall of rain and clouds, but pink.  It was freaking awesome. 

I told Daddy that I was gonna roll down the window (since it wasn't raining) and take a picture of that.  He slowed down the car and I aimed my camera.  Just as I clicked the shutter, a bolt of lightning hit right in the pink, and I'm damn sure I caught it in the shot.  ^_^

It should make for a most awesome picture indeed.

Well, good night everybody.  =)

TheFallenAngel

P.S.--Recent random quotes and funnies coming up next.  :p

Here are some random quotes and funny stories to start your day off right!

*in a British accent*  "Yo yo homie yo, what is up in this hiz-ouse?" -- Daniel speaking ebonics in British

"Hello, Mr. Police Officer!" -- Ian

"Wait a minute, the entertainment isn't in the bedroom?" -- Me

"No.  Not on the cat." -- Me

"What are you going to eat for lunch?"  "I don't know."  "Well, I know what I am."  "What?"  "I'm a Daddy." -- Me and Daddy  =P

All right, now.  Here's a classic case of misinterpretation.  This took place at Mcdonald's in Natchitoches:

What was really said:

Little Josh:  "How far away does Ian live, anyway?"

Me:  *mumbling*  "I don't know."  *gets distracted and looks at my chicken sandwich*  "Huh.  That's an odd-looking sandwich."

What Little Josh heard:

Little Josh:  "How far away does Ian live, anyway?"

Me:  "That's an odd-looking sandwich."

And as if that weren't bad enough, here's What Daniel heard:

Little Josh:  "How far away does Ian live, anyway?"

Me:  "I hope he's not in my sandwich."

Daniel:  "Well, I knew the guy was short, but I didn't think he was that compact!"

*falls over laughing*  My friends are great.  :p

More stories from Monday in my next post.

Until next time,

Now then, let me go on to describe the rest of that day.  The scenario was this:  Me and Daddy and Little Josh had gone up to Natchitoches on Monday morning, to take care of some business for school.  Well, we finished far earlier than expected, so I called up a few of my friends and asked them if they wanted to join us for lunch.  I invited Big Brother Josh, Rob, Daniel, and Ian.  (Nathan, if you're reading this, I don't want you to be upset that I didn't invite you.  Daddy didn't really want me inviting everybody I knew.  This all kinda happened spur-of-the-moment, since we ran into Josh while taking a tour of the Columns.  And as for Rob and Daniel, well, they live with him, so that explains them.)

Now, until then, I had never met Ian in person.  We were introduced to one another by Big Brother over the computer, and then we had been talking on the phone for a few weeks.  So Monday was going to be the first time I had ever really seen him.  I was looking forward to it, since he seemed like a pretty cool guy and all.  Big Brother called him up and said to meet us at Mcdonald's whenever he got a lunch break.  He agreed, and so we headed over to Mcdonald's.

We got inside and ordered our food, then we sat down at one of the long booths in the back.  The six of us had some fun conversations over lunch.  It was really great to be able to hang with my close friends again.  And they all thought my little brother was the shit.  =P  Yeah, he's pretty cool.  Annoys the crap out of me, like little brothers are born to do, but he's a cool guy.  Wise, too.  Anyway, so Ian hadn't gotten there yet.  He called a few minutes later and said that he was just now walking out the door, and that he'd be with us soon.  Which prompted the previously mentioned "sandwich conversation" after I hung up with him.  lmao

So Ian finally did show up, after we were all done eating.  I went outside and gave him a hug, then we both went inside where I introduced him to Daddy and Little Josh.  Then he went to order his own food, and I went with him so we could chat a little bit.  After a minute or two, Daniel came to join us.  While waiting for his order, Ian suggested to me that I stay in Natchitoches with him and the guyes for a few hours, and then he would bring me back home later in the day.  Under normal circumstances, I would have said, "That's a nice idea, but it's crazy, my Daddy would never agree to it, out of the question."  But this time, I thought to myself, "Well....he did only just get here.  I could at least ask, I suppose." 

So I told him, "Stay right here, I'll go ask Daddy in private."  I'm no fool, I know a parent is more likely to say "no" if you ask them for something in front of people.  So I went back to where Daddy was sitting, along with Rob and Big Brother.  I can't remember if Little Josh was there or not, he wasn't saying anything if he was in fact there.  Anyway, so I said, "Hey Daddy, can I talk to you over here for a second?"  He looked at me, raised an eyebrow and said, "Well, just ask me whatever it is right here."  I'm thinking, "You're not gonna make this easy, are you?"  I started out by saying, "I have a propostion for you."  Rob and Josh chuckled at this, and Daddy turned to them and said, "What am I gonna tell her, I'm married?"  =P

So I told him what Ian had suggested, and as I predicted, he was none too thrilled with the idea.  I'm not usually one to whine at my parents when I don't get to go where I want, and I didn't whine then either.  I did, however, decide it was worth it to push the issue this time.  So I tried to convince him to let me stay, just this once.  He was still not happy about it, but he was kinda seriously considering it.  At one point, we stopped talking for a few seconds, and I looked over his shoulder at Rob and Josh, who were listening intently.  Daddy followed my gaze and turned around to look at them.  They quickly turned to face forward in their seats, and Josh pointed to the radio and said, "Good song!"  *snickers*

Well, eventually, Daddy did agree to let me stay in Natchitoches with the guys while he and Little Josh went back home.  I was to be back by 7:00pm.  (It was 1:00pm when he decided this, so it was all good.)  So we all finished eating and whatnot, then Daddy and Little Josh left, and me and the guys decided to go over to Ian's place and hang out. 

Now, at this point I should explain something.  I hadn't really told many people that I was going to be in Natchitoches on Monday.  For two reasons:

1)  I didn't know until Sunday.

2)  I thought we'd be supremely busy the whole time.

Anyway, so before I left home, I put up an away message that said "Going to look for a place to live."  Which was exactly what I was doing, looking for an apartment.  I didn't stop to think about the mass confusion it would cause.  Here's what happened:

We were all at Ian's house when my cell phone rang.  I looked, and it was Speedy (who lives just down the road from me).  The conversation went a little something like this:

Me:  "Hello?"

Speedy:  "Where are you?!"

Me:  "Huh?"

Speedy:  "Where are you?!"

Me:  "In Natchitoches."

Speedy:  "Huh?  Why?"

Me:  "I'm looking for a place to live."

Speedy:  "Why?  What happened?  Where are you going?  Why don't you live in your house anymore?"

Me:  *it suddenly hits me why she's so confused, and I say*  "Oh!  No, I mean I'm looking for somewhere to live during school!"

*laughs*  Oh geez.  I never thought about what Speedy would say when she read that away message.  I guess I plumb confused her.  =P  Of course, then I had to un-confuse her yet again, when explaining why I was in Natchitoches when Daddy and Josh were at home.  lmao

Oh yeah.  Fun times all around.  I really like being with my friends up there.  Them is my people!  ^_^

Ok, I think that about covers it.  If I remember more later, I'll post it.

Until next time,

This is the first part of a poem that I'm writing.  It stands alone quite well, but I do plan on adding to it.  Here it is:

--------------------

You take my hand, and suddenly
The world dissolves away.
It's only me and you right now,
There's no one in our way.

I look into your loving eyes
And nothing else exists.
I'm safe inside your warm embrace
And lost within your kiss.

--------------------

Well, there you have it.  Part of a love poem.  Yeah it has a title.  I'm just not telling.  hehe  j/k, I haven't named it yet.  I'll figured that out when I'm done with it.  Anyway, what do you guys think?  Comments are appreciated, and I'll take questions if you got 'em. 

Until next time,

I've recently downloaded episodes 26-30 of Full Metal Alchemist.  Let me just say....wow.  Plot twists that will maketh thy head spineth.  I'm serious, it blew my mind.  For those of you following the series that haven't seen those episodes yet (cuz I know on Cartoon Network they've stopped at 25 for now), I think I can say one thing without giving too big of a spoiler:  Ed encounters yet another Homunculus, and he finds that he has more in common with this one than meets the eye. 

That's all I'm saying for now.  =P

Currently downloading episodes 31-35 as I go for my early morning bike ride.  Will post later.

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

P.S.--For anyone who's seen those episodes already, try not to spoil it too bad for the ones that haven't.  Thanks  =)

aaaaaagghh!!!!!!!  I just finished watching episode 31 of FMA, and HOLY SHIT.  My heart is like, totally and completely wrenched from my body.  Wow.  Unbelievable.  I want to vent about it so bad, but I'm not gonna.

And you know, I have some theories of my own about what happens next, and they're so horrible that I'm hoping I'm wrong.  =/

*yells at WinMX*  DOWNLOAD, DAMN YOU!!!!!!!  I MUST WATCH THE NEXT EPISODE!!!!!!!! 

More later.  =P

TheFallenAngel

Wonderful.  I've succeeded in thoroughly depressing my mother.  Oh yeah.  That's exactly what I intended to do, let me tell you. 

*sigh*

This sucks.  She's been too upset to even fuss at me for the last 12 hours.  That's fucked up. 

All I wanted was for her to see the way she was talking to me all the time.  She always says stuff as if she's accusing me of something, or as if what I've done isn't good enough.  And I'm pretty sure she doesn't mean either of those things.  I think.  I don't care.  I just wanted her to change a little bit.  But no, apparently I said too much, and now she's too mad at me to even be mad at me.

*kicks a sock*

I'm going take a bath.

TheFallenAngel

Yeah, I made the mistake of looking up the lyrics to this song, and now I'm depressed.  >_<

"A Lifetime"

Allie woke up 8AM
Graduation day.
Got into a car,
And crashed along the way.

When we arrived late to the wake,
Stole the urn while they
Looked away,
And drove to the beach
'Cause I knew you'd want it
That way.

And you were standing
On the hood of the car
Singing out loud
When the sun came up.

And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime

It felt like a lifetime

And you move like water
I could drown in you.
And I fell so deep once,
Till you pulled me through

You would tell me
"No one is allowed to be so proud
They never reach out
When they're giving up."

And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime

Are you sitting in the lights?
Or combing your hair again,
And talking in rhymes?
Are you sitting in the lights?

When I got home, heard the phone,
Your parents had arrived.
And your dad set his jaw
Your mom just smiled and sighed.

But they left soon
And I went to my room.
Played that disc that you'd given me,
And I shut my eyes
Swear I could hear the sea.

When we were standing
On the hood of your car
Singing out loud when the sun came up.

And I know I wasn't right,
But it felt so good.
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she would.
And that REM song was playing
In my mind.
And three and a half minutes,
Three and a half minutes,

Felt like a lifetime.

--Better Than Ezra

Silence. 

Woo. 

It's unnerving. 

My mother is sleeping, but the air is still filled with her "not-talking-to-me"-ness. 

Gah. 

It's a very heavy silence.  I don't like it.

Oh good, she's awake now, and she just went outside.  Now the silence isn't so bad. 

I still don't like silence, though.  Back to my music.

I feel the need to explain my previous Quick-Update:

One of my favorite games for the GameCube is Tales of Symponia, for several reasons.  I'm not here to write a review for it, so I'll just get to the point.  One of the things I love about this game is the background music.  It's all so very beautiful.  I've beaten the game once before, and if you look at my save file, you will see that it claims I had 115 hours worth of play.  Yes it is a long game, but that count isn't quite accurate.  Reason being:  Certain areas I went to had such beautiful music that I would leave the game on overnight and fall asleep to the music.  Then of course, I would resume play the next day.  So yeah, I had several hours added to my playing time.  lol

Anyway, I happened to encounter a website one day that had the full soundtrack for Tales of Symphonia available for download (don't ask me for the site, I don't think they have soundtracks anymore).  Of course I downloaded everything, all four discs.  I had dial-up at school, so it took quite a long time, downloading every song, one at a time.  It took several weeks.  All the while, I was still playing the game.

Here's the part where I'm going to go entirely music nerd on you:  (I shall explain this as if it's new information to everyone reading.)  When playing an RPG, pretty much each place you go to has its own background music.  The world map, certain towns, etc.  Sometimes a certain event or character in the game will get its own music as well.  Also, if a particular character has their own theme music, and then you go to that character's hometown, you will notice that the background music for the town is similar to the character's theme music.  A perfect example of this is Final Fantasy IX:  One of the areas you visit is called Qu's Marsh, where you pick up a character by the name of Quina Quen.  When you first enter Qu's Marsh, you hear a kinda slow song, with a distinct melody line.  Then when you first encounter Quina, you will hear a more upbeat tune, but if you listen closely, you can hear the same melody line from the Qu's Marsh music. 

With that explanation out of the way, I can get back to the point.  As I was playing Tales of Symphonia, I would hear more and more beautiful music that I just couldn't wait to download.  Nearer to the end of the game, I happened to encounter what may be the most beautiful music in the entire game (in my opinion).  Allow me to explain its origin:

In the game, there are many types of people.  There are humans, dwarves, elves, and half-elves.  There may be more than that, I don't know.  Anyway, in the land of Tethe'alla, elves are considered superior to all other forms of life, while half-elves are considered the lowest form of life and are discriminated against.  The elves grew weary of living among inferior beings, so they moved into their very own city of Heimdall, deep within the Ymir Forest.  The half-elves wanted to escape persecution from humans, so there was a city created just for them; an island floating in the sky above the Tethe'allan sea.  They named their city Exire, and lived in it peacefully and free from all discrimination. 

You don't really need to remember every detail of what I just said; there won't be a quiz.  I just wanted to explain it fully.  If you prefer, all you need to remember is that there is a city of elves (Heimdall) and a city of half-elves (Exire).  Now, when I went to Heimdall, I heard some very lovely music.  The instrumentation was nice, and so were the melody and harmonies.  It was mostly harp and chimes and bells (not the ringing kind, the striking kind) that did the playing.  When I happened to discover Exire (going there is not part of the main storyline), I heard music even more beautiful than before.  It was the exact same song as in Heimdall, but it was ever-so-slightly slower and with different instrumentation.  Instead of harp and chimes and bells, it was harp with flute, clarinet(s), bass clarinet, and violin.  And since it was a city floating in the sky, you could hear the wind blowing in the background, and it just had an amazing effect.  It was the most gorgeous thing I may have ever heard in my life. 

Obviously, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this music.  So I continued with my downloading of the soundtrack.  Finally, I had completely downloaded all four discs worth of music.  I had listened to each song right after it downloaded, and alas, my beautiful song was nowhere to be found.  I even went back and double-checked each and every song, just to make sure I hadn't missed it.  But it was all in vain.  That particular song was not on the soundtrack.  The music from Heimdall, however, was on Disc 3.  (Odd, I know.)  It was called, "Serenade of Elves".  Since the Exire music was not on the soundtrack, and I therefore have no idea what the actual title of it is, I decided I would give it a name myself.  I chose a title that expresses the pure beauty and simplicity of the song, as well as the story behind it:  Aria of Half-Elves.

Who knows, that might actually be what it's called.  I don't have a clue.  All I know is, the song is lovely and I wish it was on the soundtrack.  Now, anytime I want to hear it, I have to turn on the game and go to Exire.  Which is ok, really.  I mean, I get to hear the wind and all that in the background, so it's actually quite nice that way. 

Ladies and Gentlemen, you have officially heard the ramblings of a video game music nerd.  =P

Until next time,

Helping tl365 earlier today gave me a random crazy idea.

Here it is:

Voila.  :p

Go forth and see.

Momma made spaghetti tonight!  Yay!  ^_^

*much happiness ensues*

Yeah, I had a really long and totally weird-ass dream last night.  I'll attempt to explain it:

Yesterday, I couldn't find one of my GameCube memory cards.  I did end up finding it, but my dream started off with me still looking for it.  In my dream, Ed and Al from Full Metal Alchemist were helping me look for it, in my mother's bedroom of all places.  Well, in my dream, I knew that Ed wanted the memory card for himself, though I don't know why.  So I'm standing there watching them look for it, and I see where it is: inside the pillowcase.  At this point it gets kinda weird, so stay with me.  Once I saw where the memory card was, I realized I had somehow become Ed.  Meaning, I was seeing things from his point of view.  But I was also seeing things from my point of view at the same time.  So I was both him and me.  It was really weird.  Anyway, so Ed/me looked inside the pillow case and saw the memory card.  Ed/I wanted the memory card for himself/myself, so he/I pretended to keep looking for it.  He/I grasped it in his/my hand, planning to sneak it into his/my pocket.  Al saw what Ed/I was doing, and he proceeded to tackle Ed, at which point I was myself again.  The memory card fell out of Ed's hands, and I snatched it up off the floor and left the room. 

I walked out of my house, and I realized that somehow I was on Grandma's back porch instead, even though it looked slightly different than in real life.  I walked outside, and I see my Aunt Cheryl and my cousin Celeste at a barbeque pit.  They looked up and started joking with me about my baby-sitting job a couple weeks ago.  I walked past them and saw my cousin Tyler's pool in Grandma's backyard.  My Nanny was standing by it, so I went over to talk to her.  We talked for about a minute, and then she left.  I walked over to the rope swing that Pa made for me several years ago.  My cousins Melissa and Tyler were standing around it, so they were talking to me as I started swinging.  Somehow I ended up talking to Nanny on my cell phone.  She said, "Well, it's cold outside, so I'm gonna go get one of Pa's old coats out of the truck."  Just as she was saying that, Melissa (who couldn't hear what Nanny was saying) said, "Is Nanny cold?  Cuz I have one of Pa's old coats right here if she wants it."  I shook my head no and motioned for her to be quiet.  She and Tyler then got upset and asked, "Why doesn't she want one of Pa's old coats?  Does she not like Pa anymore?"  So after I hung up with Nanny, I had to explain to them that she already had one of Pa's old coats.  They were like, "Oooh."

So nighttime rolled around, and everybody went inside but me, or so I thought.  It was really late, and I was looking at a small rectangular wooden box filled with little rocks.  I took the box and gently shook it to even out the rocks inside, but then I noticed the rocks had been moved.  I looked real closely, and I saw some very tiny ants, moving the rocks and creating a valley of sorts in the box.  At that point, I noticed Melissa was with me, and we were like, "Wow, that's cool." 

Then I looked up and saw that the sun was starting to come up.  I looked at my watch, and it was just barely after midnight.  We were like, "Why is the sun coming up so early?"  And in the dream I didn't notice this, but thinking back on it now, the sun was rising in the west instead of the east.  Anyway, so I turned around and noticed all of my relatives coming back outside.  Me and Melissa were like, "Look, the sun's coming up!  What's going on?"  My Uncle Doug came up and said, "Just get inside, don't worry about it, this happens sometimes, just go back inside." 

So we all walk back inside, and it's not Grandma's house anymore, it's my house again.  We're all standing in my kitchen, and I'm told we're about to watch a play of some sort.  These two people walk out of my room, carrying a Fisher-Price table that I used to play on when I was little.  They set it down in front of me, and then a chair appeared.  So I sat down and was ready to watch the play.  Suddenly I noticed I had a laptop on the table, and it was on and signed in to all my messengers.  Somebody signed on and it made a noise.  People started kinda looking at me, and I didn't want to disturb the play, so I signed off from every messenger.  Except for some reason, MSN refused to sign off.  And Nathan kept IMing me, over a whole page of IM's.  He kept saying he was a bad person and he would ask me "What is my problem?"  Funny thing was, his text (which is usually green) was brown this time.  I couldn't sign off, so I just turned off the whole computer. 

After I did that, I was sitting at the dining room table with Dale (friend from high school) and a few of my relatives.  The rest were in the living room.  For whatever reason, me and Dale were looking at menus.  Turns out they were Pizza Hut menus, even though they looked like menus from a fancy restaurant.  Dale, being smartass, said, "Well, I was gonna get a small order of cheesy bread, but your mother doesn't think that's enough food for me!"  I laughed, then he said, "How about a large order of cheesy bread?  Would she think that was enough food?"  I said, "Sure, Dale, that would be fine."  And that was the point when I woke up.

Yeah.  Weee.  =P

In other news:  Last night I ordered part of my Halloween costume from a girl online.  Awesome!!  ^_^  For anyone who's curious, I'm gonna dress up as Edward Elric (which may explain his presence in my dream).  All I needed was the red coat.  The rest I can probably find on my own.  The grand total for the coat is $72.  Yeah, that is kinda expensive, but it was the cheapest one I found.  I found some that were like, over $100.  I'd say I got a good deal, seeing as how this thing is handmade and whatnot.  I can't wait to get it!!! 

Well, that's all I have to say for now.  Man, that was a long dream.  =P

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

Is anybody having a bad day?  If so...here's a bunny.

"Gravity of Love"

O fortuna
Velut luna

Turn around and smell what you don’t see
Close your eyes ... it is so clear
Here’s the mirror, behind there is a screen
On both ways you can get in

Don’t think twice before you listen to your heart
Follow the trace for a new start

What you need and everything you’ll feel
Is just a question of the deal
In the eye of storm you’ll see a lonely dove
The experience of survival is the key
To the gravity of love

O fortuna
Velut luna

--------whispers---------
Woman :
The path of excess leads to
The tower of wisdom

Man :
The path of excess leads to
The tower of wisdom

Try to think about it ...
That’s the chance to live your life and discover
What it is, what’s the gravity of love

O fortuna
Velut luna

Look around just people, can you hear their voice
Find the one who’ll guide you to the limits of your choice

But if you’re in the eye of storm
Just think of the lonely dove
The experience of survival is the key
To the gravity of love.

Ok, I don't disagree with the Christianity thing.  Buddhism, I think I can kinda see where that would come up.  But look at the next two on my list.  Paganism?  Satanism?  What the crap, man?  I mean, I picked up certain beliefs and viewpoints when I dated Chris, and I still hold on to a few of those to this day.  But, dude!  Satanism?!  Even Chris wasn't Satanic!!  Gah!  =P

I just don't get it.  But oh well, who gives a crap.  It's just a quiz, anyway.

Until next time,

...but that doesn't mean I don't get to say what we always say at the end of class:

"Honesty where?"

"In the heart!"

"Knowledge where?"

"In the mind!"

"Strength where?"

"In the body!"

"How should we lead?"

"By example, Sensei!"

"Bow!"

"Future Black Belts, Sensei!"

I don't know.  I just really like that.  So much so that I implemented it into my Yahoo sn.  Everybody sees my "future black belt" sn, and they're all, "So what are you gonna do when you become a black belt?  Are you gonna change your sn?"  I'm like, "Nope, that's not exactly what it means."  lol

Anyway, that's my random thought for the moment.

Until next time,

I took this test twice.  Once through, just kinda answering the questions with the first reaction that came to mind:

The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Second Level of Hell!
Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

Take the Dante's Inferno Test

And then a second time, giving my answers real careful thought before putting them:

The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Seventh Level of Hell!
Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

Take the Dante's Inferno Hell Test

Soo....yeah.  Either way, apparently I'm going to hell.  lol

It is my intention to hang out with my friend Dale and do random friend-type things.  I will be back later on in the day.

Random quote of the day, courtesy of me.  lol  It's not at all what it sounds like.  I was just being stupid while helping my little brother with his vocabulary words.  :p  (And it's true, I wasn't wearing pants.  I was wearing shorts.  lol)

Anyway, not much to say at this very moment.  I'm anxious for tomorrow.  We're having a family gathering ma-thingy with all my relatives, and I invited Ian to come join us.  I'm excited to see him again.  It'll be only the second time that I've met him in person.  I hope my relatives don't make too many "short jokes" at his/our expense.  =P  (For those who don't know, I'm 4'11" and he's 5'2".  They don't call him "the hobbit" for nothing.  lol)

Well, I got nothing to say right now.  lol  See you guys later.  =)

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

Everyone drop what they're doing and go right now to Msdania's blog.  She is going through something right now that is making her very sad.  She is perhaps the single sweetest person here in Mindsay, and it is not right that she is so sad.  Go right now and offer her your love and support.  It would make her so very happy.  And me too.

Until next time,

TheFallenAngel

Yeah, I'm gonna be here a while.  It would be nice if y'all kept me company.

TheFallenAngel

1.  Go to church

2.  Come back here to change clothes.

3.  Wait for Ian.

4.  Go to Nanny's.

This is my day, in a nutshell.  I'm looking forward to it.  =)

Have a great day, everybody!
