and for fun...

MORE pictures of people I know, with no real explanation! Yay!

firstly, because I saw her today... Cora:


Pierce! He's a vegetarian...

That's him on the right... those are his sisters. They're a special family... Irish and hispanic.

My Kelly-chan! She's a delicate little thing... she's graduating highschool this year! 0_0


Jessie... she understands me. Sometimes :)


Ari... because she makes us all look crazy, with her school paper interviews. I knew her when she was normal...


Adrian... he's an idiot, and he should re-dye his hair. It makes me grumpy that I had to do actual work to make this pic fit on my page.... BTW, he thinks he's being funny.


Here's Little Caleb, called so because when I met him, he was not more that 4'11" at most.


And Megan... if I had to spend 4 months with 3 people in a 2 person capacity dorm room again, I would choose her again! Not that I chose her last time, the school did, but you get it.


Well, there are more, but I'm feeling lazy.

cd player

so, my parents stereo system just turned on and started playing the cd I'd put in it (Nickleback yay). Then it started skipping to the next song at random amounts of time into a song (the setting that does that was NOT on). Then it turned on the shuffle setting and kept doing the weird timing, so I turned off shuffle. Now it's still shuffling, still doing the timing thing, it keeps coming back to certain songs, and it's set to repeat. My mom is witness to the whole thing, for once. This goddamned house...

Random Pictures for Fun

One of my favorite paintings...



I saw it for the first time at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and I loved it instantly. I will say, though, that it's much more impressive full size (it's huge). It looks so alive, but a closer look reveals a ton of death imagery... I don't love it because of some morbid thing (although that doesn't hurt ;) ), I love it because of the contrast.

Now, for more random, less quality pictures:

OMG it's Xena and Ares! ::feigns shock::

random link, often useful.


/\/\/\ the lovely girl responsible for this does several comics, but I have read this one, and follow Friendly Hostility (see links at right).


I love the hammer....



She was so beautiful...


Davey Havoc! Yay!

And just for fun... because I feel evil...


Goodnight. :)

Alkaline Trio - "Burn"

There's a lightning storm, each and every night,
Crashing inside you, like motorbikes,
We toss and turn, sleep so loud...
Grind the teeth in our,
Our empty mouths (are empty...)

There's a forest fire burning bright
Spreading quickly towards our last rites
Nowhere to run, pointless to hide
Just lay there and scream, pretending to try
Pretending...

Intending to burn, pretending to fight it
Everyone learns faster on fire
Things took a turn, lost all desire
You live and you burn
You live and you burn

This impending doom is left deep inside
And it's haunting you each and every night
Like starving wolves counting sheep
We close our eyes, pretending to sleep
Descending...

Intending to burn, pretending to fight it
Everyone learns faster on fire
Things took a turn, lost all desire
You live and you burn
You live and...

Like hell, we are anxiously waiting
Like hell, burning silently strong
Somehow we fell down by the wayside
And somehow, this hell is home

As we burn, pretending to fight it
Everyone learns faster on fire
Things took a turn, lost all desire
You live and you burn
You live and...
Like hell we are anxiously waiting
Like hell burning silently strong
Somehow we fell down by the wayside
And somehow this hell is home
Right now, this hell is my home

will post more later...

The day without filler posting...

Hey, I'm actually going to talk! Not much, mostly to explain my continuing absence...

As a follow up to the baby squirrel post, Twiggy (that's her name) is with the animal rehabilitaion people, and is doing well. We may be able to release her and some squirrely friends near my friend's house, when she's old enough.

Now, why am I still absent? Because I feel like shit. I had to give up the squirrel, one of my mice died in my hands, I let down one of my friends when she needed me, I have one of my chronic infections (there might be more on that later), it's not getting better as quickly as usual, I can't go to the doctor a second time because I have no insurance, I can't have any caffeine, I have to cut back on sugar, I can't have fake sugars (the most popular one right now gives me serious kidney problems), I can't drink milk (because of the antibiotics), all that's in my house is milk and 'light' apple juice, my body's so focused on my kidnies and crap that I'm breaking out in little skin infections (my body's version of pimples) and itching, my depression and the crap that comes with it are dragging me down, and I feel like a failure who should just resign herself to a life at walmart.

Not to mention I've been a bitch today.

So... I guess I'm done whining, sorry.

Baby Squirrel

So... where have I been the last few days? Taking care of a baby squirrel! My friend held her so I could take pics...

Drinking from a bottle...


All stretched out...


She's going to have to go to the Wildlife Rehabilitation people, probably tomorrow, but we love her, so I wanted to show everyone.
We confiscated her from someone who didn't know how to take care of her (Most likely he caused the deaths of her brothers and sisters, he found them after he cut down their tree), and she's getting better really fast.I just hope she keeps getting better.

More animal news (this stuff really keeps me busy): one of my rats ( a friend's actually, but our rats live together, because rats are social animals, and I'm the one who takes care of them) had to go to the vet to get her tooth trimmed. Rat's teeth grow constantly, and they chew on things to wear them down, but sometimes they over grow. One of her teeth did that, and since her nose is crooked (she fell on her face as a baby), it was growing into her lip... but she wouldn't let me fix it (I fix the hamsters teeth myself). After the vet fixed it, he came out to ask us some questions about her... mostly, what happened to her teeth?! Apparently, she's missing one, and they all go at strange angles. No wonder she's such a grumpy rat.


hmmm, bright doll today:

my legs feel funny...

So, what does a crazy girl do for her first bike ride in 2 years?

Why, she rides 5 miles round trip, on a poorly paved back road, refusing to even walk my bike up the hills...

I loved it.




On a side note.. guys, really, I haven't met a girl yet who wanted you to honk at/yell at/whistle at her while she was walking/biking.

I should sleep...

but seriously, I just don't want to yet... I suppose I could try... but no. I'll just chill out here a little more.


...I wish.

just a thought...

I just saw a commercial by the ASPCA, seeking donations. But the animals they showed... it made me cry. Starved puppies, beaten dogs, a neglected, bleeding cat.

How could people do things like that? How could we call ourselves a superior species when we are so cruel to animals who depend on us, trust us?

I don't know if there's much that makes me angrier.

What Sign Is Your True Love? - this was cute... I'm keeping my results secret. Until I get bored or something, anyway. :P

Your Love Life Secrets Are

Looking back on your life, you will only have one true love. You're a little scarred from your past relationships, but who isn't? You expect a lot from your lover - you want the full package. You tend to be very picky. In fights, you speak your mind and don't hold back. You know you're right, and you can get quite angry about it. Break-ups can be painful for you, but you never show it. You hold your head high.

Your Love Life Secrets, Revealed

...some one somewhere is very good at writing these tests, I think. Not perfect, but very good...

Your Birthdate: August 16

You're incredibly introverted and introspective. You live inside your head. You spend a lot of alone time meditating and thinking. People see you as withdrawn, and at times they are right. You are caring and deep, but it may be difficult for you to show this side of yourself. Your strength: Your original approach to thinking Your weakness: You tend to shy away from others Your power color: Pale blue Your power symbol: Wavy line Your power month: July

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

You Are 26 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

Not a Jealous Bone in Your Body

You're secure, trusting, and giving with friends and lovers And while you may have been hurt before, you've bounced back You're generally happy with your life - and no one's grass is greener than yours One word of caution: some may see your lack of jealousy as indifference!

Are You Jealous?

You're Confident...Sometimes

You can seem confident when the occasion calls for it But inside you may be experiencing a bit of self doubt A little more inner confidence could take you far... And convince others that you're as confident as you try to seem

Are You Confident?

You Are Catwoman

"Life's a bitch. Now so am I."

What Superheroine Are You?

oh the difficult choices in life ;)...

skull and crossbone earrings or tiny little coffin earrings?

yellow or orange nailpolish?
Blue?
Black?!
Too many choices!

There was going to be more, but I'm too tired, it's finally messing with my head (3 hours sleep, 40+ awake since yesterday)... I need togo to sleep.

Well...

That sucked.

I went to pick up my friend from work.

They let her out 45 minutes late.

That means
I just got to spend 45 minutes
sitting in a walmart parking lot
alone,
with nothing to do,
just to drive someone else home.

Blah.

alright, I'm going to go look for more thing sto decorate this with...

ok...

so...

I actually have to leave for a few minutes...

maybe an hour...

But I don't wanna.

That's why I'm posting.
That
and to take up space
so that my profile and icon
come back to the
top.

I really have a tshirt like that... it has the skull and cross bones, and says 'kiss me, I'm a pirate.'

Some of these probably should have been obvious to me...

1) Don't consume 3 pieces of Kentucky Fried Chicken, 1 taco bell taco, and 2 liters of mountain dew in one meal. Especially if you damn well know you're hyper sensitive to caffeine.

2)Don't were a tanktop in April with out checking the weather.

3)be aware that in new england, it doesn't matter if it was 75 degrees 3 days ago, it can and will snow.

4)Don't watch White Noise at midnight, in a haunted house.

Insomnia induced posting binge!

I promise I'll post something with substance soon... but for now, just more silliness.

My quote of the day comes from my brother: "Like you own pink pants! You just totally ruined my image of you." -shouted indignantly as I walked in from work in my laundry day pants... Am I the only person who finds themself left with their "dressy" clothes on laundry day?

I'm going to be playing with a digital camera tomorrow, I might have new pics to post... Do you remember that one with the "Closed for the season" sign? just in case you don't...
Well, their open now, and I want to track the sign... maybe I'll open a flickr account...
And my jeans have inspired me. Fancy that.
Did I mention I love photography? Won a prize for it in 7th grade...

New icon... ok, I didn't make it, but it's just the funniest thing...

ok, flickr account complete, feel free to check it out.

Ecosystems of doom

Ok, I'm a little out of practice, and a little tired, but I thought some people might get a laugh out of this.




What will happen if we cut down all the pine trees and make furniture out of them?



First, the crickets starve.
Oh no! Whatever will the salamanders and golden-crowned kinglets eat? Apparently nothing. They will either move on or starve.
Now the snakes and hawks must turn their attention to the mice, a population not prepared for the sudden upsurge in predation.
Soon, they too are gone, followed by the hawks and snakes.
The oak slowly attempts to populate our now deserted feild, but fails, as the lack of decomposation, obviously caused by the lack of material to decompose, means that it cannot recieve the proper nutrients from the soil.
Soon, the oaks die, and the blazing sun withers the grass.
Our thriving ecosystem has become overshadowed by a barren wasteland.




The force seems... a little dark today. ;P

Let's see who gets it...

Il y a une réponse correcte à cette poste. c'est dans la référence à un spectacle de télévision, jouer le róle principal une grande femme sombre et un homme drôle court.

I know it's choppy, but I'm too tired to do the translating myself. It does say what I want it to say, and that's the important part.
Maybe I'll give points to whoever gets it... like "whose line is it anyway" points.

As little caleb would say... "\/\/007"

I've taken these tests twice now (more, but only twice that I've saved), the first time is from december '04, the second from today. I'm sorry if the html fucks up the post, it's almost 3 am and I don't have the brainpower left to fix it.
