I'm trying to make plans for Thanksgiving, but seeing as my sister is not speaking to me, over something incredibly stupid and my dad is going to his best friends. Sal doesn't eat anything that remotely resembles Thanksfving fair, so I'm not going to make food. I don't want to work that day, but since I've no options, I may just do that for the money.

And as she is not interested in speaking to me, she still plans on coming for New Moon. But on a good note, my cousin Eric is flying in from Washington, and my cousin Jeff is gonna pick him up so we're all gonna go to lunch. I've debated telling my sister, but I don't know if he told her and wants her to go. I know I don't.

BUt maybe if I volunteer to work Thanksgiving, I can get out of Chrismtas. Cuz I'd rather have Thanksgiving off.

20 years ago the Berlin Wall fell. I remember it, but barely. I was a chitlin at the time so.

I asked Sal and my dad for a laptop this year. I even found a decently priced one that I wouldn't mind having and set it up for them. Let's just hope they take the bait.

Do you keep tabs on ex-boyfriends and -girlfriends over social networking sites? Do you think it's emotionally healthy or dangerous? Amusing or painful?

I do and it's HORRIBLE. It's dangerous and amusing at the same time. I don't recommend it. But at the same time I can't stop.

Naughty words! [02 Oct 2009|12:50am]
So my first day back to work consisted of my calling the cops because of some nut job calling me at work and repeatedly asking me about my sexual preferences and offering to send me 200 if I call him at midnight while I was with my boyfriend.

It squicked me out enough that since I couldn't get him off the phone or to stop calling, I put him on hold and called the cops. Apparently he's out of Florida. So he kept calling back until the female cop answered and scared him off. It made me feel so uncomfortable and gross. I had a carpet cleaning and Joe didn't schedule enough hours for Tre to stay. So the cops suggested Sal come and stay with me.

Ugh. I want to rewind to last week at this time, when I'd just met Carol Ann, Mike, Heather and Michaela. When work didn't exist and we were doing nothing but having fun.

So I need to go grab my clothes out of the laundry so I can go to bed. I'm soooo tired.

Callen G has my phone! My new one. My instinct! He's got my phone! He's got my phone, I love when I see stuff like that.

Edit: to add, I'm pretty sure Eric is wearing my blutooth. How funny and what are the odds.

It's not my fault.. [29 Sep 2009|02:14pm]
[ mood | bouncy ]

I'm this close to having my pics on Facebook but it's being totally wonky and not letting me do anything. Grrr.

We're gonna miss NCIS tonight, since we're having dinner with my dad. But we're gonna get up before Winchester tomorrow and watch it. Woohoo! I'm excited for the new episode. I am so glad...well I guess I should be respectful of those who might not have seen this latest ep. All I know is this season is going to be E-P-I-C.

HO BRAH!

Today we're gonna hit up Teazers and then drive to my dad's. He was really bummed he didn't get to meet Em on our way back from LA since we were so late leaving. So since we didn't do Forks I decided we'd do this instead. =)

I really wish Facebook would stop being dumb and let me upload. I've got a ton of pics to share. Like for instance...

So [info]emmaketurah and I just spent the afternoon running some errands. She needed to mail the CD art poster she got in the auction home, because she cannot travel with it. And then we ran to Wal*mart where we saw a guy standing on the corner preaching and giving out free bibles. So then after that we head to the mall to look for a sim card only to be sent on a massive goose chase. However at the mall we did see a guy in a khaki kilt. Pretty awesome.

Eventually we had to just go with a pre-paid phone because the woman wanted to charge like $80. So then we got some starbucks and then ran by the store so the girls could meet Emma. Which was so much fun.

Now we're watching How I Met Your Mother, because Em is a big fan. We're waiting for Sal to come home and then it's dinner, more How I Met Your Mother, Saved and then whatever.

Tomorrow she gets to meet Ryan, then we're driving tomorrow to see my dad and sister and then it looks like on Wed we're doing Winchester. WOOHOO!

Snagged this from [info]chitown_gal

My username is: brightillusions. This came about like eight years ago when I was trying to set up a name for a website to post fic. Back then it was popslash which I am no longer into. We were sitting at Dominoes or some pizza place and I was thinking about things and it kinda just hit me, that underneath the dark realities lie the bright illusions. And voila. There you have it. And it has since been my LJ, my twitter, my myspace and I think it's my facebook as well.

My journal name is: Jane. Which is my name. It is my grandmother's middle name, Ella Jane. And my mom had previously chosen Ella Arlene for my grandmother and my aunt. And when my dad skipped out, my mom changed her mind. If I'd been a boy it would have been Kenneth Austin.

My title is: Baseball is Life. Because in reality, it is, outside of my obsession with NCIS which is probably waaay more intense than my love of baseball. But I do in fact really love baseball.

My subtitle is: I am a whiskey drinking, cowboy chasing, helluva time. I'm so not. Not anymore. The cowboy chasing part anyway. I am still whiskey drinking, and I am a helluva time. It's from Play Something Country by Brooks and Dunn.

My friends page is called: The Players. Because I was running with the baseball theme. I should look into changing it to a full on NCIS theme, but I'd have to hire someone, and I am so busy and you know.

The aftermath [28 Sep 2009|12:23pm]
[ mood | tired ]

So we are home. Which is still exciting because [info]emmaketurah is in my living room. But decidedly less awesome seeing as we aren't in NCIS constant mode. We were fully intending to drive to Forks. But it's a 16 hour drive, and we only have three days. So we might still just head up. We'll see.

I'm so tired that I have an incredible headache. It took us two hours from Carol Ann's room, to the car ride home. Once Hayley and Mara got started we just didn't want to go.

So we got in at like one am, then bored Sal to tears with our stories until like 3 am. And then I popped out of bed at like ten am. Which explains the headache and the ick feeling.

So I've eaten a doughnut because that's healthy and am puttering around the internet. Have had so much interest in writing again, which hopefully I will be able to do here soon.

Also the cup pictured in my icon? HELD IT! Got photos. Course for some reason I look like I have Bells Palsey in the photo. But I did hold it. Hee.

Fanfest!! [27 Sep 2009|11:04am]
[ mood | tired ]

Sooo I really should have updated this last night. But I couldn't find the words. So we have a whole day with Chas. First we get to see a few bits of Truth or Consequences and then they bring in Daniela and Bennett (I think his name is) from NCIS Los Angeles, and he was just darling. Loved him. They showed us some sneak peeks (sp? am I spelling that right? It looks wrong either way) from their upcoming shows.

Then we do the panel with Diamond the stunt guy, Avery Drew, Leon Carrol and so on. That was pretty cool, when people stopped telling stupid stories instead of asking questions. Well That's done with and we get to see some shots from upcoming episodes of NCIS and we're like OMG it's fab, blah blah blah.

Then Chas says he has to check on something. Walks out, walks in and says we have a mystery guest. And really honestly we all thought it was gonna be Brian Dietzen, which, hello, is fucking cool.

It was Michael Weatherly. I shit. You. Not. So of course the room loses it's fucking mind. He jumps up on a chair and takes off his coat and starts just talking and talking. We get him down to just his jeans and button up (he lost the shoes and belt) and he is hilarious. He's talking about what his teachers told his mom at graduation, how he got the job as DiNozzo, and stuff about Magnum P.I and his new wife. Then all of a sudden the door swings open and, "Oh MY GOD! I'm here!"

Pauley Perrette. SWEAR TO GOD!!!!!!!!!!

I thought I was gonna cry, she bounces into the room, right up to Michael on the chair and hugs him and is like what's up?" So they're just standing there talking about shooting, and tattooes and Pauley was late cuz she thought it was next week.

So I finally got to thank her for the e-mail she sent me after the first fanfest, which made my day. That e-mail made like my life at the time, so getting to say thanks in person was AMAZING! She's just darling, and they're both really nice and funny, and she's SUPER skinny and guys. I just can't even say.

And it doesn't end there!

They leave and we get to watch an incredibly amazing blooper reel. Like there is ever an NCIS blooper reel that isn't amazing. And when we go out to take our group photo...

Rudolf Martin is standing outside the hotel!!!!!!!!

So we drag him into the photo and get to take pics with him, and talk him up which was fun as always. He looks pretty mean in my pic. OMG.

So then Muse Watson came, and he's soooo nice. I feel so bad for disliking Franks so much, because Muse was AMAZINGly nice and sweet. And I'm going to have to re-watch all those again.

So after the auction in which [info]emmaketurah won Ziva's blue coat for a steal, we went to the bar. I lost the Caf-Pow! cup even though Sal said I could go $500. so that tells you how much that went for. *pouts*

So we went out and drank and chilled with Carol Ann, Mike, and Heather. And Michaela for a bit.

Then bedtime. Now I'm updating this, because we have to check out in 45 minutes and then meet our cool new peeps downstairs for more video stuff and then Emma and are on the way back home. Tomorrow it seems we're driving to WA so if anyone wants to come along....text me! I'll have to drive back alone I think and want some company!
