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.

Reminders!
Blingo has been doing frenzies again! This morning, they gave out iPod Nano's every two minutes. If you haven't already, sign up now. It's 100% free, legit and they won't sell your info or spam you at all. If you already have signed up, remember to use it every day. They use the google search engine, so it's all the perks of using google but with a chance to win prizes. I've won four times since I joined last August. I can totally vouche it's for real. Also, Silver Jewelry Club changed over to four items at a time a couple months ago. Now you can see a new item every five minutes. They've been showing a lot of new stuff recently, so if you haven't checked it in awhile, why not stop in? Everything you see is real jewelry and it costs only $5.99 total. I've gotten many things from them and love it. (My favorites have been the rings which are especially nice and which always get complimented when I wear them.) Use my link and I'll earn 50 cents if you buy something. Small amount yes, but I've already been able to put some of the commission towards my dental bills in the past so every little bit helps, believe me. Doesn't cost you anything extra either. And...in case you are still thinking about getting a domain of your very own - want a blog? want a photo gallery? want a forum? maybe share movies or music? - I highly recommend Dreamhost. I host PhoenixFire Designs with them for over a year now. It's been great. They give you 20 gigs of storage space an a TERRABYTE of transfer each month. You'll never go over your limit, trust me. They'll let you host as many domains as you want for one price and they'll even give you the first year of your domain registration for free. ($15 value) Use code MISSM25OFF and you'll save $25 on top of that. So what are you waiting for? Go on, sign up. Here endeth your announcements for the day. :)

Tuesday's Grey and Wednesday Too
Ho hum. So I'm back at the temp job this morning. And damn is it boring today. It's going on noon, so I've been here for about two hours so far. The phone has rung maybe a dozen times in that period and I've managed to read and comment on my LJ list and read through a forum. I'll go through my other bloglist after this and then I'll basically be out of things to do. I'm pondering the idea of painting my nails. I'm also debating bringing in my quilling stuff and working on some items for the afternoon. Why not? I'm just sitting here, staring at the net. Surely it's no worse to sit and twist little strips of paper into shapes. I'm not feeling unwell but I'm not feeling great either. I've got cramps which are a damper and which make me want to curl up under the covers and spend the day sleeping but the Tylenol helps take the worst of it out of my consciousness. But I'm still left kinda worn out and spacey. It's just one of those grey sorta days where you want to veg and not have to actually deal with people, thinking or general social niceities. You know, when the whole public personna/face is just more of a pain then you feel like dealing with? Yeah, that. Over the weekend, I went to a local-run vitamin/natural smoothie shop. It's next to my favorite pagan bookstore. I picked up an omega-3 suppliment that also has a few other things in it as well as a digestive enzyme suppliment. A few friends pointed out that omega-3's have been associated with helping pretty much everything including dealing with depression, low moods and mood balance. And the digestive enzymes are supposed to help balance out the entire digestive tract, aiding in food processing as well as cleaning out residual impurities left over in the system. It's also supposed to be a natural, mild anti-inflamatory to help with minor joint pain. (Which I deal with too.) We're on day five and I can't say I've noticed anything either way, though it's a bad week to evaluate my stomach. It's always it's worst when I'm on cycle. We'll look how it is at the end of next week and see how it's doing after a couple weeks and a week of "normal" system. Not to mention, vitamins and herbs often take 2-3 weeks to really get into the system enough to make a difference. I know it took almost a month before I really noticed the feverfew was working. My stomach's been decent though, especially considering it's normally bad right now. Not great or even what an average person would consider normal but not nearly as bad as it often is. We'll see if this holds out and if I can get a little bit of improvement. I spent about an hour talking with the owner of the shop. Nice guy. And we were talking about how chronic conditions like IBS and migraines and such really have a drastic effect on the quality of life. At this point, I'm open to ideas you know? it doesn't help, then I'm no worse for the attempt, but if it does, well, then maybe I can get a little bit of my life back, you know? Dammit. I hate this laptop. They have me set up as a user login on it. Limiting all the access, write properties and such. They also have it set to update automatically and not give me any say in the matter. This stupid message box popped up that I can't exit or close that is telling me I have to reboot. Right now! *rolleyes* This is the kind of shit I always turn to manual on my computer. It's beyond annoying to have to deal with the damned admin lockouts on this thing. I disable all the hand-holding crap windows puts in and put everything to manual. My pc lets me know when there's an update but it won't download or install it until I tell it to. We do things when I'm ready for it, now automatically when it wants to. I get that the IT department here is just trying to save themselves headaches. That most users are idiots and do dumb things like install crappy spyware filled junk on their pc but first off, I'm not one of them and secondly, this is a technology company. Everyone here is the high end if not the expert end of computer literacy. Oh well. It won't leave me alone until I reboot so I guess I'll wrap up. Have about an hour until lunch then the long, loooooong stretch of hours this afternoon left to go. Why does the afternoon take so much longer then the morning? Ta for now.

Playing Catch-Up
Saturday and Sunday were pretty ordinary. Errands and whatnot. Love, our friend Rand and I started to watch King Kong on dvd Sunday and an hour and 20 minutes into it, I couldn't take it anymore and worked on my artsy projects instead. They stuck it out. It was just so slow, long, dull and really spotty special effects. I mean, you could see the blue screen effect clearly several times. Bleck. I hadn't wanted to see it in the theater and I'm really happy I stuck to that and didn't actually pay to watch it. Monday (yesterday), I hung out with my mom. We hit the mall for an hour or so. She was late coming by because she's been doing very poorly lately. Her disease is really bad right now and she's out of medication options. Her newest one isn't helping either. It's so frustrating and sad to see her in such pain all the time and to know how limiting her life is right now. It's always nice to spend the day with her but it's so hard seeing her suffering like that. I got up yesterday and Love had sent me an email saying the phone was off. Stupid Verizon hadn't cashed my payment yet - sent last week - so they turned off the phone. It was a whopping $57 for crying out loud. Not like we were behind or anything. The due date was the 21st and yesterday was the 24th. I mean, jeez. So Love calls them and says, hey, the payment's already been sent. Their reply? Well, we can either leave the phone off until they get around to processing it (could be several days or more) or, we have to pay them again. I actually had to make a SECOND payment to them yesterday for ANOTHER $57. Fuckers. I just spent $120 for a $57 bill. So now of course we're $60 short. Money that was supposed to be part of the cable bill. Can you believe that shit? I can't stop payment on the check because it's a $15 fee but I tell you, I'm tempted to do it anyway just on principle. Talked to K. and she said to go ahead and basically keep coming in on the part-time/flex schedule until further notice. So that's good. They haven't even approved the position yet but hopefully, they'll just keep letting me be there until they figure it out or until they decide to hire someone full time. The good thing is that it's exta money, but there's no pressure since I can come in when I can and no worries if I can't. Today I opted not to go in since Sunday saw me with a migraine the entire night. I didn't get any sleep (maybe about three total, broken hours the whole night) and then was out with my mom all day, then we went to see Love's mom in the evening. On top of it, my stomach was in absolute full disaster mode. So I thought today would be a good catch up day. Also, K. warned me that they're doing construction up front in the office and that if I even remotely had a headache, not to come in. She said it's like a dental drill times a hundred. Eep. Poor Love's mom had a knee replacement yesterday so we went to visit her. Hospital is about an hour drive away from where we live so we didn't even get home until around 8pm. It was a long day yesterday. She's doing ok, but was really drugged up at the moment. (Which is good since that's going to be a miserable recovery.) Love's minor knee surgery last year was hard enough, I can't imagine what a process it'll be for her. So...doing a little better today. Stomach's balanced out to what accounts for normal for me which is good. Head's a little fuzzy still but that's probably hormones. Always have the worse migraine issues from hormones. (The joys of being a girl, ne?) I think the air pressure's changing too or something because it feels pretty tight in my skull. Maybe we'll get some rain. Poor area is dying here. Tampa hasn't recored a single reading of rainfall officially last month or this month. Probably longer, but the chart I looked up only had one previous month's data. It's been really bad. It'll get cloudy and overcast, but nothing comes of it. Orlando and such has gotten rain but not us. Tomorrow I'm going to head into the temp job and see how it goes. I hope the construction noises are bearable. Maybe I can close the door to the office I sit in to make it better. Poor K. must be having a hard time. Thankfully, she doesn't get migraines, but for her to mention how bad it is must mean it's bad. We'll play it by ear. What a rambling entry. No direction whatsoever. Sheesh. Oh well. That's the sum and the catch-up thus far. Hope all is well. (21 Days Until My Birthday!)

Photo Update
Found in it's entirity on my Livejournal here: http://memoryanddream.livejournal.com/302511.html. There's a lot so you can see them all there instead since I can't put a cut here. It's some ATC's I made, my first attempts at quilling, and a necklace I made. Basically my artsy projects for the weekend.  Quilling project #2 ever. I think it came out quite nice.  New necklace I made today. I have a real entry to write up eventually but as it's almost midnight, it'll have to wait for tomorrow. So go see the rest here and I'll write a real entry tomorrow. 'Night.
