| Abby the Buggie! |
[05 Feb 2010|10:22pm] |
Sooo as if my January couldn't get any better, on the 31st Sal bought me a VW Beetle! Black. All mine! I'm in loveeeeee! Her name is of course Abby, because it's perfect for her.
The car has been a blessing, and I love it. I have to find something to do with my old car. Since we didn't trade it in. Now I'm stuck moving it every two days so it doesn't get a ticket at my apt. But I'd like to sell it, but it's got some issues that I would feel is a liability. So we shall see.
My friend Andrea has a yellow one, so our little beetles are buddies now. It's all very exciting for me. This is the first car I've owned that wasn't ancient, or a necessity, ie; cheap, easy to drive, etc. So I think I'm in love. If I could just sleep with my mac on one side, my buggie on the other I'd be a happy happy girl.
Got my nails done today, a sparkly pink glitter, which is super fun and just in time for Single's Awareness Day. Speaking of, since Abby was my present, we're not exchanging gifts. But I found a gorgeous ruby and sterling silver heart necklace at Wal Mart for $24. I'm hoping hoping, the bf will buy it anyway. Not to be greedy. Because I do so love my car.
So since Jan was epic, I'm really hoping that Feb continues in the same accord and stays amazing. I could use a really really good year after all the last few years.
Fanfest is coming up again, and I can't wait to go. I want to see my friends again. I misses you guys.
Anyhoo, I will hopefully have pics up and available for you to see my darling Abby. I can't wait to get some good shots of her.

People on Twitter have not stopped talking about this episode, they are in arms...so I can't wait to see it. Honestly Tony could bang Ziva on McGee's desk while McGee blows Vance and I'd still watch.
I'm a sheeple. =)

I don't know how many, if any of you watch the show Mythbusters. But it's fabulous. I've been a fan for years and think it's amazing. I follow Mythbusters as well as Adam Savage and Grant Imahara on Twitter. A couple of weeks ago, they posted saying they needed redheaded volunteers for a myth they were working on. ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) prettyblueroses suggested I go ahead and toss my name in. So I did, late and the woman e-mailed me back. This went on for a couple of weeks, and I was getting to the point I figured they probably wouldn't pick me.
Well they did. So on Thursday I went to the studio, or the shop, with like 25 + other redheads and filmed a myth with the Mythbusters. AND IT WAS AMAZING!! I got to meet Adam and Jamie and they filmed me doing the myth and answering some questions. And my hair. I had to put my hand in a bowl of ice water for up to three minutes. I had to say when it started to hurt and then leave it in as long as possible. And it was intensely painful. I had no idea that leaving your hand in ice water for over two minutes was that bad. The ice was stuck to my hand and my bracelet when I pulled it out. I didn't make it the full three minutes, but I'm sure I lasted two. I hope I did.
I found out I'm not good with questions with a camera in my face. But I got a pic taken with Jamie and Adam, which hasn't been e-mailed to me yet, and a free t-shirt. And I could be on tv. Woooohoo!
Anyhoo, it was an awesome time. And if you don't watch Mythbusters, put on the discovery channel and check them out. It's epic.
Now I'm off to try and find a West Wing Fic about CJ at Simon's funeral and Gibbs shows up. Grr.

To Make You Feel My Love - Josh Kelly |
] |
Work has been absolutely crazy the last few days. We've reset from holiday and then had a list of other things to do before a visit and we struggled. But today everything got finished, so we have two tasks to do outside of cleaning. And it was the first un hectic night we had. Aside from the guy that called and said I was a bitch and actually meant it for Sara not me. So I tore him a new one for speaking about my associates that way and thankfully he didn't return.
Tomorrow is going to be a long day, I should be in bed already but here I sit on my mac being unproductive. I work 9-3:30 and then 4:30 to 8:30. Barf.
Outside of that things have been pretty good. I've been exhausted from work. Sal's pharmacy actually got robbed the other night. They've had a string of oxycontin robberies at all sorts of pharmacies around town for weeks now. And finally they got his. Thankfully the pharmacist did what the guy said and nobody working even knew they were being robbed and everyone was safe.
He got lucky and got this weeks two days off, right next to next weeks and then switched a shift with a friend and now has five days off in a row. So he's on house cleaning and PS3 duty. =)
I have thankfully managed to schedule myself with two full days off next week. Not just one job, both. So that's awesome. And that's also if I'm not needed for Jury Duty on Monday. Blegh. Cross your fingers that I'm not because I'm so not interested in wasting a day for that. Because that's what it is, a waste if you're not at least picked. And with my brother in prison (again) I'm not going to be picked. I tell it like it is.
It is freezing in this house. Sal turned the AC off and I'm dying. It's been hella cold here in Fres-Yes lately and I'm over it. I cannot wait for some sunny days, uncold nights and some good old California weather. Not this cold shit.
I finally got my Xbox last week. Which means the Awesome and Horrible household has two NDS, a WII, a PS3 and finally an XBOX 360. Like we have time for all this. We don't.
Anyway I'm going to try and kick some more Bejeweled Blitz ass on Facebook and then go to bed. =)

Doctor Who ssn 3 |
] |
So I'm dreading the Doctor Who finale. Because we all know what's going to happen, and as much as Nine is my favorite, Ten is just the doctor. Should still be. But he's flouncing off and this kid, who I'm sure is much younger than me (the doctor isn't supposed to be younger than young people) and that weirds me out.
So as I sit watching the Marathon on BBC America, I'm seeing adverts for the special and I can't even watch Waters of Mars. Sal told me that it's going to piss me off and so I'm really afraid to watch.
I feel bad for Martha, seeing as how she really did like the Doctor like that. Am sad that I missed Donna's first ep. But I should get off to Wal*mart to return the 360 and get some lunch and come back before Donna's season starts. As Donna is my very close to second fav companion, barely making it under Rose.
I like how Ten gets Martha back in time, but not Rose the first season.
Ugh. Enough rambling about Doctor Who, must put on makeup, do hair and call me dad. =)

Need You Now - Lady Antebellum |

So Kimmy just scared the bejesus out of me. She was asleep in this crazy unnatural angle and to be honest she looked dead and when I called her name and walked up on her she didn't move. So I freak out and shake the shit out of her and she looks at me like uh, wtf mate? So I loved the shit out of her and told her not to do it again.
Ugh. Today was a shitty day. I felt all blah from the start and then when I went out in public it just got worse. I didn't want to leave the house and felt like I'd be better off at home. Work was busy as ever, meaning I ran and ran register while the other two managers were off talking to each other. Then I went to work with the newest Nimrod and he's an idiot and my manager gets bummed at me because I am not wearing the name tag he made me for Christmas. I feel it's bad juju and he feels like I should wear it regardless. Meh.
Am now at home and find a pre-street movie that I forgot to take to work, and am now probably getting a write up/losing my rentals this week. Fan-fucking-tastic.
I cannot wait for NYE. Dunno what I'm doing, but I'm off that night and the whole next day, so bring it.

So we went to Sal's parents house last night and although I didn't want to go, I ended up having a pretty good time. We played Latiera or something that is a Mexican version of Bingo, I won four games.
I had wanted to stay at home and be melancholy but Sal really wanted to go. And it ended up being so much fun.
And for Christmas I got black UGGS, xbox360 and the stuff I bought my self. Oh and the I'm a kitty cat bag he got on sale at Hot Topic, because that's like my favorite youtube video ever.
My sister is saying that although I didn't text her Merry Christmas, that she still loves me, hopes I had a great Christmas and that she is the only sister I'll ever have.
Fucking blow me already. You didn't invite me to Christmas or Thanksgiving at your house and I'm supposed to be thankful?
Also I am sitting on the floor while Teegan sits in the moon chair because I don't want to move her. I'm such a cat person.
I think it might be a particularly cold day because I have the heater cranked, but it's still cold in here.
I am thinking about breakfast, or lunch though. Cuz I'm starved. I want to take my xbox back. But Sal is afraid of the lines.
Anyhoo. Lunch!

Am watching HP and the Half Blood Prince thank you very much! Will probably watch the Hangover tonight too. In the morning we're having wireless internet put in, *FLAILS* and then a bit of work. And then I'm catching up on House.
Should clean but where is the fun in that.
Aww this is the part where Hermione is crying, she kicked ass in this film.
Lots to say, and I never update like I should.
I finished NaNo for the second year in a row. And as I always have more to say than I need, it's no where near done. Yay Jane.
I hate my family, what is left of it, anyway.
Except my dad. Who is as always awesome. Or is now. He is planning to buy me a Mac for Christmas which has blown my mind. My dad was never really that generous before but now, he's different.
Anyway, some new friends are aboard, some FanFesters which makes me happy. Always glad to have more FanFest friends. And I cannot wait for next year. Yay!
Teegan is in the hallway dipping her paw in the waterbowl because her pink straw is in there and Sal just laughs at her instead of getting it out.

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.
