    when i was selected

    Shock the monkey! I got a call today from someone from the Marriott. They referenced my reservation I’d made for Dragoncon, a couple of weeks ago. At first I’m thinking, oh crap, something has screwed up. But then she says that when I made my reservation, I was selected to receive an offer – I get to stay at any…

    when there was a guy with a sledgehammer

    Yesterday on my way to work, I stopped to get gas. Whils I was standing there letting it fill up, I turned around to watch traffic. There was some road construction happening at the corner, but nothing that was holding up traffic. Out of nowhere, one of the construction guys walks right out into oncoming traffic and starts pounding on…

    when i tried telling a story

    Remind me to go back to telling stories on my blog. I was rereading my old archives, and god, I don’t post the same way I used to. I want to get back to that. What’s a story I could tell… hmm… Ok, so I started typing a story and it sucked. So I erased it. I’ll try again tomorrow.

    when i made a xanga

    btw, I made a xanja journal – Cath made me join, so I did. It’s not going to be anything major, this and my LJ are still going to be my main journals. I’m using it right now a little bit because I like that I can select the album/tv show I’m watching or listening to, and the fact that…

    when schedules clashed

    Ooooooof I am in pain from the basketball game……..! We lost, but we won. Go figure. (we won by forfeit, but we went ahead and played them by loaning them one of our players, and we lost. haha) I am sad because I’m not going to be here for RAT’s play. It’s on the EXACT same weekend as Celebration III.…

    when kevin found his true calling

    I’m keeping my cousin this week, and this afternoon I went to Hobby Lobby to use my gift cards I’ve racked up over the past half year. When in the bead/necklace/etc aisle, he found this pendant that looked like a sword. He asked if he could have it, and since it was only $3 and was in a super good…

    when there was an earthquake

    Earthquake! I woke up this morning and the house was shaking and rumbling. I thought at first it was the heat coming on (just really loudly and violently than normal), or a plane passing really low, and then I thought “maybe it’s an earthquake” and then I went back to sleep. As you can tell I was very concerned. So…

    when i spent the day with my grandpa

    So yesterday I spent the afternoon with my grandparents. It was really nice, my granddad showed me his WW2 uniform and told me about his time in the Air Force. He also showed me his collection of old postcards… he has a LOT of them, but they’re not just any old postcards, they’re all from family members dating back over…

    when i wanted to go ride a bike

    This weekend… Saturday I’m planning on going bowling with the Memphis Fanforce, should be fun, should be sore on sunday, haha 🙂 Sunday I’m going to spend the afternoon with my grandparents. In other news, I’ve been working on my costume site’s redesign for like, a month now. It’s still got a ways to go, because I’m redoing EVERYTHING, an…

    when i thought maybe a kitten

    Good grief, I got up an hour again and I’m already so tired… I’m so tired of being tired, haha!! Last night was our second basketball game, I didn’t get a chance to talk about the first last week. We won this week! I started… mm no points but close several times, mostly rebounds and a lot of shoving and…

    when indy found a toy

    Hee! Cute things Indy has done recently: Ash and I went up the attic to find a board game to play, and Indy came with us. There was an old dog toy on the floor – I think it was one of Molly’s – and Indy picked it up and started playing with it, all excited. We were done by…

    when i needed some alone time

    Today was not easy. I think I’ve ended up making myself sick – I ended up skipping school today, I’m so tired and icky feeling. I’m going to try not to talk about it anymore here… forgive me if I do, I know it’s depressing to read. But that brings about something I kept meaning to mention! You may have…

    when it was quiet

    My little friend is gone, there’s nothing else to do now but move on and remember all the good times I had with him. Still, this house is very sad right now. Mum keeps crying and blaming herself. Dad is just quiet. I’m going out to lunch with my grandmother. That will be nice. I have no idea what do…
