old
This tag is for all of my SUPER OLD Blog posts from both my original "free talk" section on my website (circa 1998-1999), and my blogger site A Day at the Races (1999-2008). I think there may also be some old livejournal mixed in here, too. This tag just delineates what is originally from those older blogs.

SOMEBODY PLEASE KILL ME I’m going to watch Holy Grail over and over and over again this weekend, in order to melt my brain.

when i realized why i couldn’t concentrate
OMG – I just realised what’s wrong with me! I have Catherine-itis!!! I must see a doctor immediately!!

when i had 4 nametags
I have four different nametags at work. They all say the same thing, just look a little different. I like to wear them all at the same time, makes me feel important.

when we went to hofest
Back from horrorfest, and finally done house sitting so I got to home last night!! 🙂 Got a bunch of mail to go through, but I got sgc_cosplay’s AWESOME birthday gift – I’ll post pics of it in my LJ tonight when I get home. Here’s a couple of Ho’Fest pics until I get the rest up and can do…

when the kids were too darn cute
I faltered a little bit today – we went in our princess costumes to visit a pre-kindergarten class (about 3 years old – all boys) and they were all so adorable. They were all wearing little hats that looked like dogs and it just killed me. I wanted to scoop them all up and bring them home with me! But…

when i hated cossies
I really hate the word “Cossies” in place of costumes. It annoys me. I overlook it when people use it when talking to me, but everytime I run across it online it makes me want to shoot myself. Or someone else. (2016 EDIT: It’s 2016 and I still hate this word. Thankfully it seems to have died off.)

when i rebelled against new systems
We got a new shipping system at work. I hate it beyond words. Today I unhooked it and set our old one back up. 🙂 To think I used to hate this old system!

when a security guard got in my face
At Dragoncon, they have, in the past couple of years, had a ban on photography from like, 7-11 (or something like that) at night in the Hyatt. I completely understand their reasons for this (fire marshall – taking pics clogs up the paths too much, and there’s not much room over there). So I’m fine with the ban, I don’t…

when daisy came home
Today’s been a good birthday! 🙂 Nothing major. Most of my birthday stuff is this weekend. Had a small party at work today. But best part was I went with my aunt to help her pick out a new doggie at the Humane Society! She totally clicked with a 5yr old lab mix mutt named Scout. Black and tan, and…

when i got a tacky hat
So yesterday I met up with Mema and Daddy Bob for a quick little birthday thing. Kristie fixed cupcakes for me, since I’m getting my beloved Miss Muffin cake at work tomorrow, and another at home tomorrow night. The cupcakes were awesome – they had Spider-man cupcake paper thingies, and I got a Spider-man candle! I got some money, Hitchhiker’s…

when i got an inappropriate catalogue
OMG. I just got home from school and got the mail in… and this was this Playboy catalogue in the mail!! Addressed to me! It’s like a lingerie catalogue or something! I mean, ew! I have to take it to work tomorrow so we can all laugh at it.

when i got flying circus
Tomorrow is the day I finally get my birthday present from my grandma. She bought it for me like, months and months ago, so I’ve been waiting for this day for a while! Oh yes, it’s the Complete Monty Python’s Flying Circus Megaset. YAY. I also asked for the Firefly DVD set. I haven’t seen any of it, but as…

when i had to unpack
I found my embroidery sample, finally. Kes had gotten it, I think – it was under the ottoman. Today was fairly nice. I saw my grandparent’s new house, it was very cute! I really like it. I’m glad they’ve moved. I finally got my boxes back (they’ve been at my aunt’s house since they came back from FedEx) – I’m…
-
when people were crazy
Someone just told me I look like Christina Aguilera (or however you spell it) again – that’s just weird. It’s a compliment and I take it as such, but still, um. I don’t look anything like her. At all.
-
when i died
I’m dead. Don’t talk to me.

when i was a freckle face
My freckles are like 10x worse this year. Like, I don’t mind them at all, but I don’t think of myself as a person with freckles. But then I looked in the mirror in the car and I was like WHOA MAN I AM A FRECKLE FACE!! I should take a pic of me outside of costume makeup to show…
-
when i should have cleaned my room
ARGH………. my room is a mess….. and has been for weeks. I should have cleaned it today since I’m not really doing anything, but I don’t feel like it 😛
-
when i got sick and well again in the space of an hour
So today I went to the Germantown Festival thing, and got totally sick. It happened so fast! I was just like, walking around with Indy, and suddenly got all dizzy and horrible feeling. I went back to the car and turned the AC on and slept for about an hour, then went back and rejoined my group and felt fine.…
-
when the fish died
I just saw a news article saying most of the fish in the New Orleans Aquarium had died, due to the loss of electricity. That makes me sad, since we had so much fun at the aquarium when we were in New Orleans year before last. Glad to know the penguins survived, I’d hate to think the little penguin friend…

when i was angry there was no lando
New BK Star Wars toys… to make my collection bigger. Ugh. I think I’ll just buy them from ebay this time, instead of having to eat all that Burger King. Gross. But… STILL NO LANDO. WTF!!!!! Where is Lando?!?!?!?!?!?!
