Hunh, year and a half...
I kinda wonder if people will see this pop up on their friends page and think 'Hunh, who the hell was that again?' Here's hoping! I find the thought amusing. :D But in case anyone has pondered 'I wonder what ever happened to..' then here you go. What's gone on in the past year and a half? Not a great deal, have pretty much just enjoyed my blissful existance doing what I do, which is sitting around being lazy. Still seeing Eric happily, still have the cats. Rumble the fat one has only gotten fatter, and Frenxy the spastic one has gotten more spastic, but they're both happy as well. Planning to have the boyfriends parents come down for a visit sometime this fall, they've already picked up tickets to the Aquarium, which was intresting when I went last winter with my family. Also planning a trip to Vegas this fall for a combined bachelor/bachlorette party for two of my friends who are getting hitched, which should be an interesting time for all involved that will never be mentioned afterwards. Played AoC for a while, but sadly dropped it after I got to max level and didn't have anything else to do by walk around stealthed and shoot arrows into peoples necks. Dropped WoW about a year ago due to a bad case of raider burnout, though its mostly faded now and I'm considering going back before the next expansion, I missed Lich King entirely with no regrets. Started playing SWG again and have been having fun with that, even managed to appeal my two perma-banned accounts and got them back as well, so I've been enjoying the new updates to the game and reconnecting with old friends. Sadly though, not as many people want to run the Hoth instance as I do, so my goal of completeing my Wampa slayer collection is going slower than I'd like :D Lets see, I've lost some weight somehow, probably due to the fact that I'm eating much better now than I used to. Eric cooks me dinner most nights (except when we decide pizza or chinese is called for) and he's a stickler for balanced meals. Still have dinner with my parents once a week, where Eric, Wyatt (my little brother) and I confuse my parents greatly by talking about video games they don't understand. But my father doesn't mind, he's been put on a strick cholesterol controling diet which he gets to break when we come over on the weekend, getting real, rich food and even desert. We could talk chinese and he'd happily munch his red meat in silence. My company got bought out by Lockheed Martin about six months ago, and while there were some cuts at the corperate level, most of the other employees kept their jobs, including me. No pay increase, but I now have access to a whole bunch of the swag being an employee of the military industrial complex brings. Some discounts, great health and dental, and quite a nice retirement package. My 401k took a bit of a hit when the stocks dipped, but now that the market is rebounding I've shifted a few of my investment funds and they are taking off with a vengeance. Yeah, I'm talking about retirement funds and stock investments... can you tell I'll be 30 in a few months? Dear god I've turned into an adult when no one was looking! Well... and adult who reads a lot of comic books and spends most of her time playign video games. Which is something I can live with :D As with my last entry, as far back as that was, my life couldn't be better. Well I'm sure it COULD, I mean I wouldn;t complain if ten billion dollars fell atmy feet :D but I'm happy, healthy, and have pretty much all I could ever want. Life is beautiful, and only gets better every day. So that's it for now, until next time I remember I have this thing, in another year or two. /wave P.S. World War Z in audiobook format is amazing, and I highly suggest it to anyone who likes zombies. | | Monday, April 7th, 2008 | | 4:41 pm |
Holy shit, I still have a Livejournal! Hi there!
Yes, I dropped off the face of Livejournal for a few years. But a friend was talking about livejournal today, and I was reminded I had one, so I guess I'll update.
My life is great, I'm happer than I've ever been. Job is good, I make good money, I have a nice apartment, nice new car, great boyfriend, loving cats, fast computer, pretty much all a girl can ask for. Have had two promotions since my last post, plus moved in to the apartment, which is a two bedroom, though the second bedroom is used as a library for all my books.
Spend my time either watching TV, reading, or gaming, of course. I main tank for my guild in Warcraft, and more recently have been playing City of Villians with my boyfriend, my brother, and a bunch of our friends. I even got an entry on WoWWiki for a poem I wrote when patch 2.0 hit, called "Felguard, A Poem", but most often called "I Wish I Was a Felguard." I'm so semi-kinda-notreally-famous that I have a minor blurb on a Wiki site! Hurray me! And I recently bought a copy of a book I've been trying to find for about 10 years. It's apprently hard to find a book when you cna't remember the name of it or the author. But at last, Nicobobinus is mine!
Started seeing Eric (the boyfriend) a few months after I left Humperdink. He's been real understanding of some of the issues I had left over from that, thankfully though most of the issues are gone. He knew what he was getting into though, I'd known him for quite a while before we started seeing each other. We were friends in Galaxies, way back when. Chris, you still read this? Apparently me and Jaim are perfectly suited to each other. Who knew? He moved in last summer.
My relationship with my parents has gotten better than it ever was before. Have dinner with them once a week, which is good for them ever since my baby brother went off to West Point, so they don't get too empty-nesty. They've gotten real churchy, but they've long since learned that no, I'm NOT going to church with them. It's nice having dinner with them, talking, argueing politics or mocking reality TV. Plus my Mom kicks ass at cooking :)
By the way Fin, belated thanks for the happy birthday.
The cats, Rumble and Frenzy, are happy and healthy. Rumble is a noisy little bastard who yells whenever he wants attention, and he frequently amuses my vent server by causing a ruckus when I'm trying to talk. Frenzy is a little spaz, and runs all over the place, except when he decides it's time to sleep on you.
That's pretty much it in a nutshell. It may not be the msot exciting life, but I'm so happy and content it's amazing. Life couldn't be better. And now if youll excuse me, I'm likely going to post this then maybe come back in another two years :D | | Tuesday, March 7th, 2006 | | 4:17 pm |
"A scientist conducted an experiment. She put frog number one into a pan of very hot water. The frog jumped right out. Then she placed frog number two in a cool pan of water. The frog didn't jump out. Very gradually, the scientist raised the temperature of the water. The frog gradually adpated, until it boiled to death." -annonymous, quoted from 'The Verbally Abusive Relationship' By Patricia Eveans. I said before that no one who reads this will understand. You may think you do, but you don't. I pray to god that you never do. The only people who can ever understand this is the people who lived it, and I wish no one had to do that. But they do. The people on the abuse website I've been going to since November understand what I'm going through, like I understand what they're going through, because we all recount events that are eerily similar. Over 4000 women, all talking about living the same thing. Yes, I said abuse website. Y'all will never understand the blow to the gut you get when your therapist looks right at you and with sympathy says 'You have been severely battered.' To be forced to look at your life and recognize that you are a victim of verbal, emotional, and physical abuse. Trust me, when you've tried your whole life to extrude a sense of strength, having to admit that you are a victim, that you're weak, that you're afraid, it sucks. But the first step to recovery IS admitting you have a problem. Well, it's been three months since I left. Three months of therapy, of reading the books my therapist recommends, of participating in support groups. Three months of learning to stand back up again. And I've come far, learned a lot, still have a lot of healing to do. But I think, I hope, I've come far enough to say this, even if my heart is in my throat and I'm terrified as I type this. I'm not coming back. I'm sorry. I can't. I can't live afraid anymore. I can't bear being reduced to a quivering ball hiding in the corner anymore. I can't walk on eggshells wondering when the next beratement will come, wondering how much of my own sense of self worth I'll have to give up next, what I'll do wrong next, or if you're going to hit me again. I can't do that. I don't want to do that. I WON'T do that. I don't HAVE to do that. Call me selfish if you will, hate me, curse me, but I want to live my own life. I want to be happy. And I can't do that with you. It's too late. When the words 'All I've ever done is love you' is accompanied by blow after blow after blow of your fists, so many that the hits can't even be kept track of and you can't tell where one bruise stops and the next starts...I can't trust you anymore after that. I can't not be afraid of you after that. I can't love you anymore after that. I'm sorry. I see a lawyer on monday. I'm not coming back. | | Friday, December 23rd, 2005 | | 8:31 am |
I'm ok. It's hard. I'm dealing. Saw a councilor Tuesday, it went well, though with a lot of crying, and have another appointment on wednessday. It's hard. Really hard. Harder than any of y'all realize. You have no idea. And I hate having to do this. But I HAVE to. | | Monday, December 12th, 2005 | | 8:11 am |
Saw Chronicals of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe on Friday. And it was pretty much perfect. Very faithful to the books, nothing I can think of cut out. Only thing I would have liked to see were more talking animals in Aslans army, but the lack didn't detract. All in all it was a great movie, best Narnia movie ever. | | Tuesday, December 6th, 2005 | | 8:00 am |
My smurfs came in the mail. I like them. | | Friday, December 2nd, 2005 | | 9:19 am |
This entry says nothing, meerly exists. | | Monday, November 28th, 2005 | | 2:43 pm |
So I read some of the things people have been saying on the internet about my mother-in-law, what with her making news because of the xbox thing. And I hate people. Some people have said really mean shit, like making fun of the way she talked, or saying its a scam, or sayig she was stupid for spending so much money. So yeah, I hate people. People suck. And they can all die. Can't people just say 'Oh, sorry sweet old lady, we're sorry the gift you lovingly bought for you son was stolen'? Nope, gotta mouth off on the web, pretending to be big and badass as shit by putting someone down. Lets say nasty things about someone we've never met, just to make our own pathetic little lives better! Yeah, that'll be fun! Assholes. | | 9:36 am |
My cat Rumble likes cool ranch doritoes. As in if I leave the bag anywhere he can get them, he will claw the bag open to get to the chips. he also eats them the same way I do, licking all the power off them eating the chip. They do say pets take after their owners, but that is just weird. Seen him chasing his tail too. Crazy cat. | | Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005 | | 3:28 pm |
Just got email reciept. Order is shipping. Don't know when it will arrive, as it has to be shipped all the way from Germany. What in the world did I order all the way from Germany you may ask? Smurfs. Haribo gummi Smurfs, a candy I've been craving for over a decade. A site was found, called the German Grocery, and I spent a brazillion dollars (ok, more like a hundred) ordering the smurfs and some Kindereggs, which you can't get in the US either. Can't wait for them to arrive. Some of the Kindereggs will make nice gifts. The smurfs I ain't sharing. Score: | | Monday, November 21st, 2005 | | 7:50 am |
Pop tarts. For breakfast. Mmmmmmm. If anyone wants to know how my weekend was, just read Robs journal. Just add a few hours of reading to that. Started playing Final Fantasy X yesterday, for about 20 minutes. After 18 minutes of cinematics, I said fuck it and went to play Dark Cloud instead. Now its work time. Yay work. | | Thursday, November 17th, 2005 | | 3:20 pm |
Downloaded 'Exile: Escape from the Pit' to play at work, since I don't have anything else to do all day except get text messages from Rob or actually do work. It's a fun shareware game that I've played before, only this time I'm actually going to pay the sharewear fee so that I can pass the great chasm and no longer get visits from the Shareware Demon. its very free form. You get dumped in the underground, given some basic supplies, and told have at it. I like exploring the place, killing monsters, getting items and junk. *shrug* its something to do. | | Monday, November 14th, 2005 | | 8:22 am |
Been playing Stubbs the Zombie on the Xbox. Fun game. I get to walk around as a zombie, eat brains, which not only taste great, refil your 'life' meter, and cause the victims to say fun things as they die, but also creates a loyal horde of other zombies that follow along, attack other living, eat their brains, making even more zombies for my horde. I've also learned how to stun enemies with a fart cloud, possess them with a disembodied hand, throw my exploding internal organs at them, and remove my head and roll it like a bowling ball. But the best part is still having a zombie horde of my very own. Even if I do wear an ugly tie. | | Wednesday, November 9th, 2005 | | 9:50 am |
I'm not dead. Just have nothing to talk about. Doesn't this journal just shock and amaze? I'm going back to playing Bejeweled now. | | Saturday, July 2nd, 2005 | | 3:30 am |
Congratulations Fin, you win the prize. Rumble and Frenzy it is. Now if Rumble would just quit walking all over the keyboard as I try to type this.... WE HAVE KITTENS!!!!!! | | Saturday, June 25th, 2005 | | 7:34 pm |
