(Update 7/25/10)

Well, today was maybe my dullest day. My hip hurt bad enough I opted not to go anywhere, but I'm thinking of going over to walk around by Fred Meyers again tomorrow. This morning I got up around 7:30, but decided to not eat breakfast. Wasnt really hungry for some reason. I did eat lunch and dinner, though. For dinner I made turkey-burgers on my aunt/uncle's GeorgeForeman grill.
A couple interesting things of note about the day, I organized my aunt/uncle's CD rack for them =) It was in pretty sad shape.
Also, I watch "Shaun of the Dead" =P its hilarious, although you need to get past the slight use of the F-word. Otherwise its funny. Its a Brit spoof on "Dawn of the Dead". One of the funny things in it (for me anyways) is the fact that Shaun sets off in the start of the movie with 6 "allies". His girlfriend, his "mum" and stepdad, his gf's 2 friends, and his best friend. Well, by the end of the movie, only Shaun and his Gf are still alive =P Now in a usual movie all the heros save maybe one who dies for a specific purpose survive, so this was kinda refreshing =P

anyways, hip still is killing me, but thats all for now.

Allie Cat gone crazy! (Update: 7/24/10)

Today was interesting. I woke up around 6 AM and decided I was going to wake up, watch some TV, get some breakfast, then later on walk to the Canby Fred Meyers.
Well, that was a good and a bad idea. God because I got out and got some more much-needed caffeine, bad because now my hip is killing me from my little walk.
For those who dont know, when I was in 7th grade I had a little gymnastics accident and managed to jam my hip up into the socket, pinching the spinal nerve that sends brain signals to the leg. I got the hip fixed middle of 8th grade, but I guess you cant really do much to fix the nerve itself. So I sometimes get a limp when my hip acts up, but it hasnt hurt for almost 2 years. I dont know why its so bad right now.

In other news, I got to watch most of the Scorpion King last night, good movie. I also finished Seasons 2 & 3 of House, I'm going to need to get more from the library =J

Also, Allie the Cat has been really wild today. Me and her got into a few pretty good tussels and now one of my hands is scratched up =P She has also been playing behind the couch I've been sitting on, making lots of noise and almost unpluggin my laptop =J She also got up on the couch and watched TV with me for a while.

Anyways, thats all for now,

"Shocking, isn't it? Who'd want to kill you?" (Man, to Dr. House after shooting him) (Update: 7/23/10)

Well, today I woke up to the phone rining. Nice change from the usual pain-in-the-butt alarm clock. It was mom, she's one her way to Spokane by bus to pick up my sister. She's been taking sewing classes there, and they just just recently ended and its time for her to come home. =J
Today's day 2 of my solo-run house-sitting for my aunt & uncle. The plan is basically the same as yesterday's, check online job sites, talk to people on FB, keep tabs on Allie, watch House, and try to get some writing done. I think either today or tomorrow I'm going to walk to the Fred Meyer's and maybe Starbucks, but I dont know when.
Today's headache is just this side of murder. I think I slept 4 hours last night, and not because of being on Facebook or watching TV. For the record, FB was shut off before 12 becasue the iternet died, seemingly in the entire neightborhood. I could'd pick up even the 5 other wireless signals that are floating around next to my aunt/uncle's. It obviously is all working again now, though =P

I also watched a little over half of the first "Twilight" movie. It reminded me of some of those lame soap operas you see on the spanish channels. The action was pathetic, the romance was fake, overall it was kinda dissapointing. I dont know if I even want to see the other ones now.

Anyways, House just stabbed a yoga-practitioner in the chest with a foot-long needle, and Allie is screaming at something downstairs.
More to come later,

"Is it still illegal to preform an autopsy on a living person?" ~Dr. House (Update: 7/22/10)

Well, today is my first day alone at the house of my aunt/uncle, house-sitting for them while they are off at my Uncle's High School reunion.
I arrived yesterday to get aquianted with the home and the caring of their cat, Allie, and their rabid-rabbit, Molly. Me and my aunt did some last-minute grocery shopping to pick up some food, and my uncle gave me a run-down of keeping Allie happy and purring.
They left around six this morning, and after a quick breakfast of cold pizza and a poppie-seed muffin, I set in to watch some TV and try to get some writing done. Book 2 of the Taske Force Trilogy is going slow, but it will get done eventually. When I have no idea =P

The show I have currently set on is my aunt and uncle's collection of House seasons, of which I unfortunately can only find Seasons 2 & 3. I forgot how much I loved this guy, he reminds me of me on my bad days =P Infuriated with his pathetic life, annoyng as hell, and sarcastic as anything. I think we're related somehow....

Anyways, more to come later, thats all for now =J

Update: 7/14/2010 (Wisdom Teeth)

Well, today I got my wisdom teeth out. Luckily, I only had 2 teeth to pull, and they were only on the upper jaw. They put me under using, of course, 3 doses of anesthetic instead of the usual 2. The good news is that I didnt feel a thing. The bad news is that now, hours after the operation, my jaw hurts like..... yeah... it hurts.
Hopefully it will get better by tomorrow... but we'll see =J

Anyways... thats all I have for now!
Talk to you all later,

Books! =D (7-9-10)

I have some books to recommend! =D


First off, the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. ITs a good, although sometimes confusing series about a gunslinger called "Roland" on a jounrey to what he calls the "Dark Tower". Along the way he picks up a few followers who aide him on his quest, and along the way all members of the party learn more about each other and about themselves. Warning: Some Strong Language and Violence.

The Dark Tower Series:
Book 1: "The Gunslinger"
Book 2: "The Drawing of the Three"
Book 3: "The Waste Lands"
Book 4: "Wizard and Glass"
Book 5: "Wolves of the Calla"
Book 6: "Song of Susannah"
Book 7: "The Dark Tower"
Book 8: "The Wind through the Keyhole" (Still To Be Released)


Another book I want to recommend, is "Dialouges" by Plato. Logic, dialouge, arguements, and in "Timaeus" and "Critias", you get the first telling of the legend of Atlantis ever recorded! =D
Sounds like fun? Then go READ THEM! =P


Thats all for now, Folks.

Update: 7/8/10

Well.... here goes the big update. Sorry I havent wrote anything for a while, I havent been on in a while and even when I did get online I didnt have much too say.
But, I've been told some people like reading my posts, so I guess I can write some more.
So... where do I start? Why not start with the important stuff? =)
I got my driver's lisence. It only took me three times to pass, but I finally got it. =J
I've also been applying for jobs. I've applied for 5-Star Guitars, Hillsboro Music, MIR Music, Hallmark, Fred Meyers, Michaels, Jan's Paperbacks, Rainy Day Games, and the list goes on. No replies back yet, but I plan to start callbacks within the next week.
Moving on, I got a new Laptop =) its a Sony VAIO, Intel Core i3, Blue Ray player, and encased in an awesome sea-greenish packaged.
I also have finished 2 books, "Taske Force" and "Death Walk". I'm halfway done with "Taske Force 2: The Lector Affair", it should be done by the end of the month.

On the other side of things, I found some things out about me and one of my close friends.
I discovered one my probably closest friend (not Cheyenne =J ) has a form of RAD (Reactive Attachment Disorder). For more information check out this website:
http://www.radkid.org/what_now.html
I started reading about it, and while its interesting, it also is kinda scary. Another thing, I've read stuff about disorders but in this case it is personal. Knowing the person it relates to just tears me up inside.
This little study has made me think about some things, and I've decided I want to study Psychology in community college and regular college. I always like to get into people's heads, and I like to help people. So why not mix them together and become a Psychologist? Preferably like a Behavioral Psychologist or someone who studies how and why the mind works and how that affects human behavior.

Anyways, thats all for now.
Tell yah more later,
