  Dear Iplehouse,

Thank you for Finlay processing my credit card transaction. My order has been sitting in the 'before shipping' status for two weeks now.
I know I'm not getting anything special from you, like the event head or a wig, because I went and ordered another companies doll through you, so please to be getting off your asses and shipping my Husky to me.

With reserved love,
Cyn

Again with the suckage   
07:34am 16/12/2007
  I dwell on things.
Every one tells me that I should just get over stuff and not dwell on it, but anytime that I'm left with nothing to do (IE driving, trying to sleep etc...) stuff plays in a continuous loop in my head and leaves me feeling worse than before.

Couple that with my known issues with low self-esteem and I'm fucking miserable.

I want to lash out and scream, and cry and just get my nervous breakdown over with, but it just isn't going to happen.

Fucking hell. This sucks.

  My siblings got cranky with me and the fact that I wasn't going to be decorating my apartment for the holidays.
I came home the other day to this:
May I present to you, Larry, the Christmas Lobster.

and again, we have randomness

  I have a new cellphone. I am far too enamored with my new cell phone.
I really have no need for a cell phone, as I'm too anti-social to have anyone but family calling me, but I have one and I have custom wallpaper for it and it's just too peachy-keen for words.

I have a very bad habit of finding a song I like, and putting it on infinite repeat, like a 13 year old girl with her first boyband.
I've been doing this with The Pogue's Fairytale of New York for the past three days.
I really should give it a rest before I'm sick of it, but I can't seem to stop.

Why is it so hard for customers to realize that you need both an Online ID and a passcode to access your online banking. I know you think you only need one of them, but trust me, it won't work with out having both of them.
For that matter, who in the hell bitches to a bank about their online security being too strict?

I shouldn't complain too much. We've been pretty quiet at work. So quiet that I was able to read one whole book, start on another one and work on some coloring pages. Oh! And draw and color two holiday cards that we're bringing to kids in the hospital.

I have ordered my Husky. I'm going to be twitchy until my pretty, pretty resin gets here.

I got around to using some of my bento stuff last night.

First tier has an onigiri and some teriyaki chicken.
Bottom tier has edamame and soy sauce in a carrot shaped holder, as well as pickled ginger, dried pineapple and pumpkin seeds.

Yes, I has yummy lunch!

  Le'daniel called me last night. Out of the blue. I almost didn't recognize that it was him because he doesn't have a special ring anymore.
Just very weird. I don't mind him calling, hell, we had a nice conversation. But at the same time it's all like 'WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU CALLING ME?'!
Of course half the conversation was him telling me that things I liked suck. I swear, I think I spent half our relationship hearing about how my taste was defective, especially compared to his.

I'm going out to meet dollie people today. I'm excited about this, and scared shitless at the same time. Seriously, I think I work better as a shut-in, recluse. People don't like me.

I desperately need to clean my house. It's not dirty, there's just stuff everywhere. I fail at being organized.

  I really should be writing reviews right now, but I'm being lazy.

I paid off all of my credit card debt today. There wasn't an amazing amount, but there was enough that it was making me really cranky. One consolidation loan later and I'm in a much better place financialy.

I have a pomegranate. Mimi decided I needed a treat. I just have to resist quoting Greek mythology as I enjoy.

My father was in the process of suing the state when he passed away. The state had passed a law that stated that all police officers, deputy's, sheriff's, etc. were covered by the injured on duty act, except for DEM officers.
Today we found out that they finally started covering them in the IOD.

They also got police plates for their vehicles, instead of special DEM plates.

My mom's church is closing. At some point we need to go up and get my father's window out of there. I don't know what we're going to do with it, but I don't want to leave it in an empty church. I know the first window any vandals will smash will be the pretty stained glass one.

I have learned how to crochet socks. Socks are very warm and very fuzzy and make me far too happy.

...We had a Thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat...   
09:36am 22/11/2007
  I don't know if this is a New England thing, or what, but every year on Thanksgiving one of the local radio stations plays Alice's Resturaunt every hour, on the hour.

Mom and I look forward to this every year.
Here it is, in all of it's expanded glory
Alice's Restaruant - the Massacree Revisited

This time, it's almost 23 minutes long!.

Enjoy. Happy Thanksgiving.

  Moose and Squirrel made it safely back from the vets. All girly bits have been removed.
When I go to pick them up, I get a note from the vet telling me that Squirrel, my lovely orange girl, is fat.
Every orange cat I've ever had the pleasure of meeting has been fat. I thought it was just one of those orange cat things. Oh well, diet food for the Squirrely-girl from now on, or at least no more wet food.

They're both doped to the gills, but Moose is showing it more. She keeps trying to jump up on my lap or up on the bed and is either misjudging it due to drugs, or falling short because of pain. I don't want to pick her up, but I may have to do so to get her into bed.
Oh, and she snores under the influence of opiates. I've never heard a cat snore before.

My poor little doped up babies.

Congratulations! You are Catarina of Aragon.
Catarina was Henry's first wife and was probably the only one of his six wives to truly love him. He tired of her, and she spent the last decade of her life in lonely exile. Yet when she was dying, alone and unloved, she wrote: "Lastly, I make this vow, that mine eyes desire thee above all things. Farewell."







Which of Henry VIII's wives are you?


this quiz was made by Lori Fury


Sadly enough, this fits me to a T.

You know you have a sad, sad book habit, when the post man has to leave a crate in front of your door to deliver all of your books to you.

Kitties are going in for surgery tomorrow. I'm going to be twitchy until I get them home and safe.

  Mom sent me this, it's a list on how to tell if you live in New England.
...you might be living in New England )
Sadly, I'm familar with each and every one of the items listed above, especialy the one about the Dunkin' Donuts.

Once again, I have the cold from hell. I'm cranky and bitchy and people really should just stay the hell away from me until I'm feeling more like a human being and not a walking blob of snot.

Party day!   
07:22pm 03/11/2007
  We had the surprise party for my grandmother today. Very nasty weather out today, gale force winds and driving rain, but since the party was inside it wasn't a big deal.
My main job today was to get balloons for the party. I had gotten two bunches of balloons. I managed to get one crammed into my car, but while wrestling with the second one a gust of wind caught it and nearly picked me up along with the balloons. Suffice to say that the balloon bunch was floating over Interstate 95 before I could catch it.
So back into the store to get ANOTHER bunch of balloons.

The party went well. I was very happy that we were able to keep it a complete secret from my grandmother.
We almost thought that we were going to have to cancel the party yesterday. Mimi woke me up by shining a flashlight into my eyes and telling me that she hadn't slept all night and that she thought she was getting pneumonia and that she wanted to go to the hospital.
I talk her out of the rescue and get her into the treatment center.
She's fine, just getting a cold due to the change of seasons.

cut for family whining )

So that's my story. Time for me to go and take a shower and get some sleep.

Halloween Goodness

  In honor of Halloween, I'm sharing some Concrete Blonde goodness with all of you.

Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)

The Sky Is A Poisonous Garden

The Beast

I have pumpkins carved and pumpin seeds roasting in the oven. Later I'm heading out to Mom's house to hand out candy. I'm very tempted to get dressed in the Moogle suit and hand out candy wearing that.

  Grandmama fell last night. Broke her ribs. I feel horribly guilty because it was me bumping into her that caused her to fall.
I was in the middle of cooking dinner and I had like four things going on the stove at once. She came over to start cleaning up the mess from cooking and I don't know, I guess I just turned around and bumped her.

I used to love this time of year. This year, all it's making me do is think of all the things I've failed at.
I was supposed to get married on Halloween. Yup. Fucked that one up but good. Not that I can blame the boy for running away as fast as he could, but it still hurts.
We had Dad's wake on Halloween. I pressured the boy into coming down so I could have some sort of support system. Shouldn't have done that. Should of let him run instead of pushing my wants on to him.
Let's not even touch on the fact of what an utter and total dissapointment I was to my father...

Crap. I really freaking hate October.

I wouldn't say books were an addiction...   
11:31am 26/10/2007
  I got the new Merry Gentry book. I know, I know, but I'm still addicted to Frost.
No spoilers, but I will say that she did get away from the smut-a-palooza that marred her last crop of books.
We got to page 159 without there being any sex at all. This was really all plot. We're starting to go back to what made the series so addicting to begin with.

Spent most of yesterday adding images to all of my Japanese books on Goodreads. If you noticed, now all of the Gundam Wing and Weiß art books listed on there have images and have their enteries translated into English. I am just that much of a dork.
Now, if I could only get the damn thing to not glitch up on me when I'm trying to add books that don't have an ISBN...

I have a Davy Jones icon now. This makes me a very happy girl.

A tale of two kitties   
08:08pm 24/10/2007
  My sister came to visit me today.
bringing along a cat toy for my two demons )

You do all realize that the only reason that my family comes and visits me is so that they can play with the kitties.

Had some bad news on the car front. I took the car in on Tuesday because of a funny noise it was making when I made a left hand turn. I thought there was a problem with one of the struts. Turns out I was right, but there's also a coolant leak in the intake valve and the springs on the struts are shot.
This is supposed to be my new-to-me car that shouldn't be giving me any problems after I've only had it for under three months.

So I'm car-less for the rest of my vacation.
Sat around making dollie jewellery today. Only problem is that I don't have any girl dolls to check my sizing on. I made a really nice Lulu (FF-X) style necklace that should fit almost any SD girl.

Hmm. There's an idea. I may just break out the Final Fantasy for the rest of my vacation...
