Less than 13 days in counting until I get to go back home for break. I've been zealously updating our fridge's white board .every day. counting down until I get to hop my ass onto that plane and go home. I just need to endure the next two weeks.. studying my ass off and writing papers this week and then taking two finals the following week. Actually, I should probably be studying right now, but am I? Nope. Where has all of my motivation gone? Probably sucked away with the vast wheat-fields. Either way, I'm freaked out about Bio and Math. I really need to get my shit straight :/

On top of that, I've just been über pissy. The holiday spirit got flushed out of my system the other day, because, as always, I overreacted to something that really wasn't any of my business. But whether it was my business or not, I apologized, and all I really got back was attitude. Sure, what should I expect? I gave attitude, and they gave it right on back, but, honestly, grow the fuck up. But it's not like I have heard anything that great about them other than that they are "fuckable". I see very little talent, I see a lazy work-ethic (a "everything will always be handed to me on a silver platter if I whine a little" point of view), a selfish and narcissistic attitude, and hypocritical tendencies. I don't fall for the manipulation and sucking up either. Go ahead.. keep whining. Keep getting everything you want until, suddenly, the world stops giving it to you. That's the real world, hon.

*whew* Glad that is out of my system now. The jealousy thing on my part really needs to stop. It's immature, annoying, and, quite frankly, now that I think about it, most of the people that I am jealous of are really not worth it. I take a second look back and what do I see? Nothing really. No personality. No substance. Maybe a little makeup and a padded push-up bra, but if looks are what we're going for, then I'm done. If things have really gotten to the point of only caring about somebody's appearance.... if that's all they're really going for, then I'm done.
I am SICK AND TIRED of this shallow behavior. It's not that I am insecure about the way that I look, because I'm not really, I'm just usually humble. I get attention from guys. Not the kind of attention that I want, but attention that notifies me that I am at least somewhat decent-looking. So if I'm rallying in a competition of "looks", "appearance", "fuckability", then I'm not interested in competing. If this was a competition over maybe, oh, gee, I don't know, something more important like: personality, sense of humor, generosity, devotion, intellect.... then I would win by a mile. I'm not saying that I'm perfect. Nobody is perfect. But how someone could lust over THAT is *beyond* me.

Going back to this shallow behavior shit: Guys. Guys, Guys, Guys, Guys, Guys. What the fuck is wrong with men these days? Or have they always been like this? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that they're all like this.. there are few, wonderful exceptions that fairy-tale books base their princes off of, but from what I've seen in the past few months, I might as well give up.
.....
I got my ASS GROPED yesterday at the winter formal dance when I was dancing with a guy. Okay, yes, I've already gotten used to the boners. I know you BOYS can't seem to control your blood flow for two minutes, so I'll give you all the benefit of the doubt. But once you take your HAND and feel it up on my ASS, then you're gonna get one angry bitch.
I'm not a piece of meat.
I've had it.
I will not tolerate that shit.

As Gerard Butler said in "The Ugly Truth", "Men don't fall in love with your personality. They fall in love with your tits and your ass." I understand the concept of "lust at first sight". I shall never believe in "love at first sight", because.. clearly, to fall in love with someone, you must be attracted to their personality. Or maybe that's how women work... I don't really know.
"Guys are simple", they say. "They only want one thing, and if you give it to them, they'll be happy."
Maybe.
I haven't really tried it yet.
But from what I've seen... ya give them tha pussy a little too earlier, they leave you lying in the cold on your face.

I suppose I'm just angry because I came in second to a snobby, little bitch, but at least I am self-assured that I have a much better personality than her. If that doesn't count anything to men, then so be it. It sure as hell counts a lot to me.

Now for some catching up on "Tough Love",
Sarah

Day Five: Your favorite quote.


Day Six: Whatever tickles your fancy.
I like pretty boys. There doesn't even have to be an actual attraction. I just like pretty boys. They're fun to ogle and usually just as fun to talk to. There's a butt-load of them at work, so you can usually find me near one. Sometimes staring at them helps to pass the time. Other times talking to them does.

I have a wicked cold... Serves me right, you'd think. I took a whole week off of work to lounge around and what happens the night before I'm due back? I get congested and I'm sneezing all the time. My nose is running and I can't breathe with it. Then I get bounced around Nemo all day into different positions before settling outside in the sun. At least I only had to drive around three times today. I hope I didn't contaminate anyone. Then again, practically half of the Nemo crew has got something. It's just that time of year where we all get sick and share it with each other. I know it sounds particularly disgusting, but that's just how it is on a close-knit attraction like that.

Tomorrow night is our Holiday Party... I'm bringing Heather with me like I did two years ago. The private Holiday Party thrown for Disney employees is pretty fun. We get four hours of the park to ourselves with all sorts of discounts and the like. We got a giant group together to play this year. I think there's about 20 of us--give or take--counting everyone's guests. What I'm excited about though--besides spending time with Heather and Alex--is that Nick is joining us. He's never been a part of our crowd and I had spent the last week inviting him to join us for the party. Even though he said maybe, I honestly thought that he just wasn't going to come. However, he just told me today that although he can't meet our group for our customary pre-party dinner, he'd be joining us in the park because he thinks it'd be fun to hang out with everyone. So, I'm happy that he's chosen to come with since I don't think he hangs out with anyone from Nemo at all. Hell, I'm happy all around that I get to have my closest work friends--and Heather!--with me for a night of holiday cheer.

Sleep is going to suck tonight... It sucked last night. I hate having a cold. Everything's too hot, then too cold, then I can't breathe, then my alarm goes off...ugh. I have to be at Nemo at 0645. Blegh. I would very much like my nighttime medication to kick in. Nao pleeze?

I love me some cheesy so-bad-it's-good horror movies. I caught this one a couple nights ago and it is by FAR the most unintentionally hilarious spider movie in cinema history. I laughed so hard at the airplane scene that I had hiccups for the following 30 minutes. Pure gold, I tell you. Here's a clip from that scene...oh, and the .12 to .14 mark? I want that as an animated icon. Now.

One Week left of work!

All tests have been graded and handed in to their respective offices in the department.

All that's left to do is show up to classes and keep the students interest.

Evy ate a rubber band. My dad was dangling a rubber band and she was swatting it. It fell and she went to pounce it then I see her chewing and before I could get to her she swallowed it. Or I'm 99% sure she did because the rubber band was nowhere in sight. I called the ER Vet. They said we could bring her in to induce vomiting but what they give doesn't always work. So it could be a huge waste of money. So, they suggested giving her salt water. We gave her 2 turkey basters full of it [most of it getting in]. I stuck her in the bathroom. It's been an hour and a half and no puke. She is acting perfectly fine. I plan to call the vet in the morning. What should I watch for? If there was a problem would she have presented them by now? It's been about 3 hours since she ate it. I hope she is fine. Silly creature.

I couldn't resist last night.

Well, it seems like Christmas sales are finally picking up at my shop. This is the second time I've had to order more Vanilla Cupcake Kitty hats, but the rest aren't moving at all... I've sold maybe 2 of the bunnies and not a single blueberry kitty has sold :( I wonder why. I imagine the bunnies are a little on the generic side, but I thought blueberry would do better than this. Is it the pictures maybe? I did have to rush them so they're not the best... and I'm not with Algy right now so I can't retake them. Blah.

Oh, I also forgot to mention I got this a few weeks ago:



It's so comfy and warm, ohmygawd. I'd be wearing it right now but the only problem so far is the plush tail makes sitting in my chair awkward, haha. I need a chair with a hole out the back. I plan to wear it to the next con I go to though.

Yesterday mizzmarvel and I watched The Court Jester, which is one of my favorite semi-obscure musicals, and the whole time I could not get over how much Danny Kaye is my mental Ralph Dibny. Like, I've seen actors who I'm like "Hey, that actor could probably pull off such-and-such character" about, but Danny Kaye just embodies Ralph to me - his face, his body, his persona, everything. He is the Ralphiest.

Don't believe me? ( I will prove it with science! Or pictures. )

Today I was reading an excellent biography of Gram Parsons, a musician I absolutely adore, and while reading about his teenage years I came across the name Jim Stafford, a young musician Gram was friends with - they even had a band together. I figured it had to be the same Stafford in Riding With Death, and sure enough it is him! I always loved that dumb cracker, and now I love him even more now that I know he had this connection with Gram! YAAAAHOOO!

Crow: Story consultant?!
Servo: Yes, I advise you to hire the most annoying cracker you can find and then slam together two incomprehensible plotlines.

When your master's hands are busy you have to improvise if you want some skritchins.

Everything is knitted by me in Homespun (unless otherwise noted) which is 98% acrylic and 2% polyester. It's machine washable, on a gentle cycle, otherwise just hand-wash it with some Woolite and block it to dry with a towel. I've worn my scarf for years and never had an allergic reaction to it.

Shipping to be done via Priority Mail (those flat rate boxes are lovely) which will be determined by what you buy.

I take Paypal (but if you have other circumstances, I will work it out with you) or I will barter with these. BPAL, DVDs, books... If you also are really wanting a piece I will negotiate prices. Nothing's set in stone.

If you are interested in one or more items, please leave a comment. I will confirm with you then send a Paypal invoice to the email address you have for your Paypal account for the final amount.

These are on a first come, first served basis. Several of these pieces have yarn that is no longer produced, so they're sort of one-of-a-kind in that sense.

If you require a piece to be measured, I'm more than happy to do so. This post is also public, so if you'd like to spread the word I'd be most appreciative! Thanks for looking!

On to the goods! ( Warning, large images ahoy! )

In other news, Winter Arts was really fun! I had a good time displaying and even won some baubles for my work. I showed my orange Ren, Max's blue and silver Cassock, some Kimehimo braids, and my tankard cover I made. I also made another pumpkin pie which was devourered very quickly. At the event I managed to find someone to teach me beginner blackwork....now all I want to do is learn more so I can put blackwork on my chemises and Max's shirts...This could be deadly. I was really inspired by all the work I saw there and now I'm really wanting to get back to illumination and do some more garb research for garb...and black work. NEW ADDICTION!I will probably steal some photos from Anvenel and Lou and post a pic of my viking garb up in costumenonsense soon. BTW, Trish? Christal? Someone put their scary murder dolls on view and made some cool norman period garb for them. I totally geeked out and got to meet the girls who owned them. NERD AM I!!
On Friday I not only managed to clean out most of garage (GO ME) I also planted clover and my wild flower seeds for the front yard as well as weed the herb garden and my snap dragons. I also put up the cute little iron fence PJ left me as well as some solar lights to light the walk way up to the front door. The front yard is slowly starting to take shape. Hopefully in the new year I can get the Chateau de Nom Nom sign painted for the front door and This for our front yard....and my dorky girly side wants to get one of these too... But I'm really happy so far with how the front yard is coming along. It looks like one of the old succulents in the front is going to pot so I think I'm going to remove it soon and replace it with someing more floral. I haven't desided what yet.
Max and I made make our way out to pick up a tree for the Chateau de Nom Nom tonight. I'm itching to put up the Christmas decoration. We have a wreath on the door already and hopefully this week we'll get our icicle lights up around the house. HEE! I also want to pick up some oranges and cloves so I can put a bowl of them out in the living room. They always make the room smell so dang good!

If not that I may chill on the couch and try to finish up the first season of The Tudors. Only have two eps left.
