Blogroll Me!
There are people on the net that have nothing better to do with their time
then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours
a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a
day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their
opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into
their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.
To these people I say grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the web is
a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I
do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or
whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's
really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty
site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine. That
means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm
bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else.
Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read
them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live
and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care.
This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and
express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't,
it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

Heaven, Hell, Shopping and a Cold
So, yesterday of course was Love's birthday. My friend Rand came by on lunch, and we ran out to try to find him a birthday present. I ended up having to run him back, borrow his Jeep and drive down to the other Best Buy waaaay down on the other side of town to get what I was looking for. But man, it felt so nice to be out of the apartment, on my own, driving (something I never do anymore because either Love drives if it's he and I, or Rand drives if it's the three of us) and getting things done. Gods, it's a freedom I knew I needed to get again in my life, but actually doing it...it was so nice. The way things are, I never get things done on my own. Ever. I always need someone's help. So anyway, it turned out to be nice that the Best Buy near me was out because it gave me time on my own out of the apartment. After work, the three of us went to go see Constaintine which was actually pretty cool. It was kinda Prophesy meets Blade in style. In fact, I'd wager that someone on the special effects team for Constaintine was involved in Blade (#1) because there's a scene were these demons are exploding in just the same way that the vamps did in the one big battle with Blade in the club. It was a little slow to start in the beginning, but I think it was because of needing to introduce the characters and set the story. If there's a sequel, I'd imagine it would be a little more even paced because you wouldn't have such set up needed. Overall though, I really actually enjoyed it. I was worried it was going to be bad but hoping it was going to be good and it definately ended up being entertaining. I'd recommend it. By the time I got home though, the twinges that I had felt all day came to a big head. I really think I'm sick. Love got his presents, we had cake, Love started playing his birthday gift ESPN NHL 2K5 and I called it a night. Didn't sleep well last night because I couldn't breathe most of the night and my mouth kept drying completely out (to the point where I couldn't unstick my tongue from the roof of my mouth) from having to breathe out of it all night. Miserable. Today though, I have some errands I need to run - like I have to get some beading supplies (hooks, clasps, crimps, etc.) - so I have to try to get myself out-of-the-apartment ready and decent. Ugh. Wish me luck. All in all, Love had a nice day and I'm happy because he deserves it.

Birthday Boy
Today is my beloved Love's birthday. And, despite the fact that he hates my journal, I can't let the day go by without giving at least a little public shout-out in his direction. 
Beading Daydreams
*sighs* Anyone have about $100 they want to donate towards the M Bead Supply fund? Ha. Yeah, I know. It's just I was going through my bead catalog and even trimming down the list from the trimmed list, it was still like $89. Eghads. AND, I didn't even get into findings. I tell you what, beads are expensive. Which stinks because there's so much pretty stuff out there I'd love to work with but never will be able to. Money sucks ass. I'm bored. Restless. I can't bead because I'm out of key supplies like clasps and such. Hopefully, Saturday I can go get a few necessities. Right now, I can't finish off any bracelets, necklaces and I don't have any earring wire either. Sheesh. Oh and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was unwatchable ass. Stinky, smelly, monkey poop ass. We didn't even get half an hour into it before we had to turn it off. Gag me. Strange email event just now with someone wanting a pair of earrings...they have a paypal account, but don't want to use it because they don't want paypal having their bank account information. (um...but if you already have an account, then they already have it.) So, ok, send me a check/money order to my PO box. No worries. Ok, they'll do that. But then suddenly, it's no, nevermind. No reason given. Just odd. And here I got my hopes all up that I had an order tonight. Bah. Love's going to want to go to bed soon, so I better wind it down in here. Night.

More Jewelery Goodness
I've been going crazy (don't you just hear the over hyper used car salesman's commerical from any silly movie in the 80's when I say that? come down to Craaaaazy Eddie's! Heh.  I digress...) working on jewelry lately. So much so, I had to do even more work to PhoenixFire Designs to accomedate it all! For example, I split bracelets into one, two, three (!) pages because there's so much and I want to help out on loading times for those of you still  So of course, I have to share a few teases of the latest things here as well. Cherry Quartz Necklace with teardrop pendant  Cool Vibrant Green Painted Glass with Silver Accent Bracelet  Silver and Amethyst Glass Link Bracelet  Warm Tones of Red, Goldenrod and Brown Glass Bracelet with Heart Dangle  Two-toned Maroon and Turquoise with Silver and Celtic Knotted Accent Beads Bracelet  Turquoise Memory Wire Necklace with Chips and Center Nugget Accent Whew!  And if you can imagine all that work what my living room must look like!  (And yes, I'm playing with the emoticons from my message board as if you couldn't tell.) Alright, time to go tackle the mess that's taken over the living room this week. Hope you guys like. :) You wouldn't believe how empty my supplies are at this point! No earring wire, no clasps, almost no beading string - man! I have things I want to make but can't just because I'm out of supplies!  TTFN!

People Just Don't Get It
LoserLameBoy wants to add you to his contact list. Allow? Look at profile. Nothing there. Don't know the nick. Deny. "I'm sorry, I only add people I know and am friends with. If I know you under another screen name let me know, otherwise, thanks but no thanks. Next day (today)... LoserLameBoy wants to add you to his contact list. Allow? Deny. "I'm sorry, I only add people I know and am friends with. If I know you under another screen name let me know, otherwise, thanks but no thanks. Message pops up: LoserLameBoy: hi LoserLameBoy: m/24/tn Click "Ignore" button. It's like sheesh, what part of this is really baffling him? You pester me to allow, tell you no nicely then you start in wit the a/s/l stuff? Uh-uh. One way trip to the ignored list. In Other News... Made some jewelry yesterday. I'll take some photos and upload them later on. Right now, I feel grungy and need a shower. Memory wire necklace, couple bracelets and a regular necklace. Trying to round out the offerings and refill up some that have sold. Tried to update the BIOS last night. After a few frustrating hours Love did it. It's supposed to fix ACPI problems. But... (sure you heard this coming) when I tried to run my virus scan, it crashed out at 25% and rebooted. Error log still shows "acpi" as the fault. *sighs* At this point, I don't know what to do to make my motherboard compatible. From everything I read, the problem seems to be most with AMD boards - which is what I have. (I think Love said it was an AM-7 or something? I know I have an "AMD XP 1800+" processor) Event Type: Error Problem is that the Mirosoft Support Page is utterly useless: RESOLUTION Greeeeat. Didn't think of that. *sighs* So, yeah. Now I might need a new board. And I might just need a new board/chip combo since it might be harder to find an XP/ACPI compatible board that works with my particular chip. Not that I have the cash to replace it mind you. The point is, therefore, excessively moot. It's just you can't work with a pc that crashes whenever it wants, reboots and then sometimes won't come up when it crashes. Your harddrive gets corrupted and your os is shot to hell and of course, being utterly and completely unable to get through a virus scan leaving me WIDE open for attacks is just the icing on the cake. Frustrated, pissed off and just generally hopelessly upset by the shitty events in my life isn't coming even close to summing it up.

The Bearer of Desire
That's Godiva's name for him. *chuckles* I collect the Godiva bears they put out at the different holidays. Halloween Bears, Holiday Bears, Valentine's Bears and I even have two easter bunnies. Love always gets them for me. And of course, yesterday, despite being broke, was no exception:  The roses he got me a few days ago, the bear, and the card Nice, hu? He's such a sweetie. I was going to put this up last night, but my pc took a big crap. Yes, it's still crashing and no we haven't tried to update the BIOS yet. Namely because I need his help to install the A drive and stuff and by the time he gets home from working on pc's all day, we make dinner and relax a bit, it's late and he's tired and ready for bed. So....hopefully we can figure it out one of these days. Lately, it's been letting me for work a stretch of hours, but when it crashes, I just have to turn it off and leave it be. Otherwise, it'll reboot repeatedly right away. Like, crash, reboot, crash while loading and reboot again, crash right after logging into xp, reboot again, etc. So I've come to know that when it reboots, just power off and walk away. Can be inconvienent, but, what can you do? Still no idea what I'm going to do about the tooth. Need to look into anyone who does free consultations or low-cost work. The problem of course is finding something that's not low-quality work. Because bad dental work can seriously fuck with your day. I also have this temp filling stuff to try just to patch up the hole in the meantime. It's not hurting but I don't want to make the problem worse, you know? I took the Moon Phases script off the journal because everytime I'd try to check my journal, it'd hang and hang....and hang waiting for that damned script. All the while, not loading my entries. Sorry if you liked it, but I don't want people leaving the site just because some 3rd party site isn't loading fast enough. *Yawns* Mkay, well, time to actually start waking up. I've gotten up, fed the girls (who start crying bloody murder if their breakfast isn't served by 11:30am. Poor, underfed felines, eh?), talked to Love and nosed around the net. Now it's time to, ya know, brush the teeth and consider working on getting dressed and stuff like that. And so, here we endeth the entry.

One Month
Well, so much for that. Mom called and the first available appointment is on MARCH 14th. Ugh. I can't wait a month just to have it looked at. I guess I'm going to have to see if any other places do any new patient specials/consultations free kind of things. Bah.
Heart-Shaped Dentists
Ok, not really, but I couldn't figure out how to put both subjects in the title. Talked to my mom today and she said there's a dentist up by her that does free consulations. Guess the buy is big on helping out people who need dental help because every year he fits in as many people as he can in a day and gives them free dental work. Fillings, extractions, whatever. He's been doing it for like ten years or something she said. Anyway, missed that day this year - not that I think he'd do larger work like this for free - but she said she'll call and make an appointment this week for me and we can at least get it looked at. Find out what we're really talking about and options. I'm very strongly opposed to extraction pretty much ever so for me, that's not really an option. Besides, I think there's enough living tooth left to just make a small patch for the missing bit. It's such a small piece and the filling and rest of the tooth in intact, I'm hopeful that it's on the minor scale of things. And of course, today is Valentine's Day. And I gotta say I don't understand why people have to be so damned crabby, spiteful and downright annoying about it. So you don't like it; so you're bitter for whatever reason; so you don't want a "forced" or "Hallmark" holiday - fine. Just don't observe it then. But gods, do you have to whine every year about how much you really hate it? I mean jeez people... I don't really care either way. Normally, Love and I do a little something for each other - maybe go out to eat, or he'll get me some flowers, nothing huge - but it's not the end-all, be-all day for us. This year, for example, we're dead broke. So I'm not going to pout or cry that we don't have money for dinner. It's just, oh well. No biggie. The thing is, why can't people who despite and loathe the day be the same way? Just ignore it and move on with your life? Why be so hateful towards people who really do like it? Dunno, just bothers me. Every year, I see people posting bitches and rants and such about Valentine's Day and how much they hate it and whine, cry, moan. It's just not that important people. The more you bitch about it, the more important you're making it.  So, that said, Happy Valentine's Day to those of you who celebrate, don't mind the day, or are otherwise indifferent. To those of you who don't, are hateful or otherwise grumpy pants today, it's just a day, don't get your panties into a wad and it'll all be over tomorrow.

PhoenixFire Update
Apparently, there were some problems with the Buy It Now buttons on PhoenixFire Designs. I didn't know about it. :( So, I went through today and checked each one. I hope they work now. I still need to go through the horn ones and make sure those work too but, if you had tired to click on one and it didn't work, my apologies, it should now. New things this weekend in bracelets, memory wire necklaces, and a whole new catagory, earrings! You can always email me if you have questions about any of the pieces, are interested in something and don't have paypal, or want something which has sold (some things I can make duplicates of, some I can't.) I never mind doing commissions either. (Maybe you'd like a piece in a different color or using a different stone, for example.) And of course, horns are near limitless in color and shape so no worries there either. No obligation if you just want to ask about how much something would be. Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know I'm sorry for the technical problems. They should be worked out now.
