Sometimes I worry that my excessive consumption of "mind-expanding" party favors back in the dizzay might have ironically rendered me an intelligent person, immured in the unfortunate confines of a damaged brain. Any time I don't seem to grasp a concept, or something goes in one ear and out the other, my mind wanders to this bleak possibility. It seems the times when I am most focused on not forgetting something are the times I walk away from the conversation having retained nothing but the "Don't forget this" mantra I had been silently chanting to myself throughout the duration.
Then again, perhaps this problem goes further back than I give myself credit for. I went through several bikes in middle school simply because I would be offered ride home, and would completely forget I rode my bike to school in the first place. It was inevitably stolen, every time. I went on a dinner/movie date with an ex-boyfriend after a band concert in High School, completely forgetting about the 30+ family and friends waiting at his parents house for the Surprise Party I was supposed to be temporarily distracting him from. I flew from Lubbock to Austin, completely forgetting all of my carry-on luggage that was on the seat next to me while waiting in the terminal. I've forgotten countless bills, birthdays, anniversaries, assignments and appointments.
I think ultimately my present state might actually be an improvement. Or maybe I just learned that I am the kind of person that needs to write EVERYTHING down. My cubicle has more Post-It's covering the walls then fabric. Granted it does make me the victim of playful office mockery but they sure don't seem to complain when they need a number or email alias from the "Great Wall of Conveniently-Accessible-Useful Knowledge" as I like to call it.
Ah well. Sid is blasting some Sci-Fi program at such obnoxious levels on his PC right now that I can't seem to hear myself think so I shall end this. Adieu my fine LJ peoples.

I hate chipping a tooth...the immediate weirdness that becomes the mouth, the way my tongue is now raw from constantly flicking over the same spot, missing the familiarity of it all. Hopefully one day I will quit subconsciously chewing my pens, thus no more chipped teeth. I seem to have outgrown Leonardo DiCaprio, the inability to hold a job, my previous bra size(finally), but can't seem to grow out of my oral fixation.
*shrug*
Not much different going on. I am working an insane amount of hours in an effort for mas dinero just in case the job thing dosnt work. I have been told I will probably get to stay but in this day of constant outsourcing, management's hortatory speeches promoting optimism, and the inevitable layoffs that seem to follow, one can't help but be prepared for the worst.
I had a huge scare. I was messaged by my boss to please come to his office. As I sat down, he informed me there was "good news and bad news", and which did I want first? At this point, I think my heart was in my stomach.
Bad news first...always.
Bad news= I didn't get the award.
Good news= for all the OT and the good job you've been doing, here is a 8 hours paid time off coupon
\m/= rawk teh fawk on!!!
Well laundry calls and I ran out of shit to say so: doggies doing great, Sid and I great, luck starting to finally turn a little bit up.
After January sucked so much ass, I predicted 2006 would be horrid in the beginning and then slowly as the year progressed, get much better. So far I have been correct.

Hmmm...well an update okay...
Jules almost died. The emotional and financial turmoil that has ensued as consequence of keeping him alive seems to have jaded me to the point that I don't seem to prioritize making the time for the little things anymore...like updating LJ. Will try to work on that. At the present he is doing okay. He is eating, is on meds, has no fur, and has picked up a very odd, un-jules-like howling habit but he is happy and doing much better. Yay!
I also seem to have made a habit of conveniently forgetting where by phone is. I guess I just don't feel like talking so I fail to remember to carry it on me 24/7 like I used to. Leave me a message and when I find it, I will call ya back. I care, God KNOWS I care and would love to talk in person. I am just not as much of a "phone-body" as I used to be. I would just rather kick it in person, throw back a few and call it a night.
I have also yet again learned to never get too vocationally comfortable. I got the worst case of deja vu last week at work as all of the contractors were asked to come into an impromptu meeting. Upon walking in and seeing the somber faces of the elite management mob that had convened in our honor, I knew it could only mean one thing.
Phuck.
New Call Center? check
Elimination of Jobs? check
Crappy relocation package to another city? check
There is a possibility if enough people leave/get converted/relocate/get fired/screw up and move down the conversion list that I MIGHT have a chance. *le sigh*
Its weird how many things have gone so terribly wrong in 2006. Bad luck for sure. But I guess things could be a lot worse so I still have managed to keep my "glass is half full" attitude for the most part. For once no matter what gets thrown at me, I dont have the despair of wondering if things will be okay. I can feel they will be. I love feeling like I have control over my own destiny. I just have to shake myself out of apathy enough to get things done for myself. I don't allow anything overly petty to pull my strings. I do have a lot of things to be thankful for so I am focusing on that. There will ALWAYS be something wrong. Always something that could be better. I guess this is me sucking it up and growing up.
I think once the stress of refinancing my car in July passes I will be less preoccupied and antisocial. Right now it is a black cloud that constantly hovers over me. That and the fact that I actually OWE taxes this year :-/ Right now anything I had saved went to saving Jules. Now that he is doing better maybe I can try again. If he goes downhill though, we are completely tapped out. Time to go back to work

Baby Anne- some new breakz set my roomate downloaded |
] |
Friday will be the first, official 1 on 1 rendezvous of my co-worker and the object of her 6 month affection, may the week of meticulous planning begin! Every smoke break I witness the "singles" of the company review the do's and dont's of various wardrobe ensembles, potential subjects to talk about to ensure scintillating conversation, and the many ways in which one can stylishly execute a good night diss or a good night kiss.
As happy as I am for her, listening to them chatter I am reminded of how I loathed the dating game. The uncertainty, superficiality, and low confidence it brought me when I did try it. The consuming drain of that constant mental struggle of noticing and being noticed. Not that I ever really dated. The people I truly connected with emotionally, I was not physically attracted to. The people I had fabulous chemistry with were not that compatible on a deeper level. Then again, I think I made it pretty difficult for people to get to know me. Any boyfriend I ever had was always my friend first (with only 1 exception). I do not deal well with awkward moments, and will do just about anything to avoid them. In the long run I think I probably deprived myself and others of some pretty decent friendships due to my general inclination to shirk anything potentially unpleasant. Ah well, se la vi...
Jules is still sick as a dog, pun intended of course ;) I swear we can not get out of that vet for less than $100. If any of you find yourselves with some extra time today, please send my doggie some get well wishes. We could all use them.

They always spell trouble. I need to either go around barefoot or always wear shoes. Before when we had our little apartment in the barrio, Socks + Spiral Staircase= Me Busting Ass almost daily. My family and friends were even concerned Sid was hitting me from all the bruises, lol! Now that our floor is mostly tile, socks are almost just as treacherous. Just a moment ago, I lit my cigarette on the stove and hauled ass to the backdoor so the smoke smell wouldn't penetrate the house, only to completely wipe out at the door, and drop my drink. Luckily my elbow broke my fall...well, my elbow and my dog. Thankx Jax! I owe ya one!
(disgruntled, bitter pup shot)
Damn, that was the last of my wine too... I think...yes it was...
fuck.
Anywho, Turkey Day was fun. Hope everyone else had a good Thanksgiving as well. My family convened at my older sister's house. They are such hippies lol...I heart them <3 They are all strict vegetarians so Sid and I brought the Turkey, a la Trudy's and let me tell you, that was some GOOD turkey. Oh, and for those of you that have not had a chance to try purple shamrocks, try them, they are delish!
I have been feeling like poo the last week. Depressed everyday, with SUPER bad anxiety, not at all like myself. Probably attributed to ortho tricyclen lo I was just put on. Hopefully it will balance out. Sid saw me moping and took me to Ross's in a rare but generous attempt to cheer me up by buying me stuff. I emerged two pairs of jeans richer than I previously entered. They fit much better than most of the size 3's I have out grown :-/ *le sigh* Sometimes I miss going out and partying every night. Much easier to stay slim with that kind of "exercise" than it is sitting behind a desk all day. Ah well, when I was doing all that, I wished I had a good stable job that paid decently. Just goes to show, grass is always greener.

I feel bad for Teri. Her father wont quit smoking. He has smoked his whole life and at this point, has had countless heart attacks and respiratory problems, carts around an oxygen tank, and always needs to be rushed to the hospital in the middle of the night because he cant breathe. She said she and her mother hid all of the lighters and ashtrays in the house amongst other tactics but it never stops him. Teri works two jobs and is constantly coming in to work exhausted due to having to rush him to the hospital for the umpteenth time, and having either her father insist she stay for moral support or her mother asking her to stay b/c she just "can't do it by herself". I swear, I dont know how people can be so selfish. I would never do that to my family.
Things have been going rather well until yesterday when I received a call from my mother informing me I have been summoned for jury duty on November 28th. I suppose it is my karma coming back to haunt me for mocking a co-worker about having to go just hours before. I hope hope hope hope I do not get chosen. It will be a poor Christmas indeed!!
There are some songs that stay with you for life. The first time I heard the "Dome Epais Le Jasmin" a.k.a. Flower Duet from the opera Lakme it was playing in the background of the movie American President (I think the scene where they are having dinner). Those two women's voices were so beautifully haunting and enchanting I could not get them out of my head. Riding in the car, taking a shower and trying to fall asleep, they were always singing incessantly in my ears.
Years later at my first after-party after Funky Techno Tribe at the Austin Music Hall 2000, the DJ pulled out Jonathan Peters present Luminaire "Flower Duet 99". There it was again, only this time in the form of an amazing dance track. I got that familiar lump in my throat at the sheer beauty of it and have always wanted the track since. I had several versions of it before my hard drive crashed...
*takes a moment of silence for that bleak, dark dark day*
....and have never again been able to find a version of it that lasted more than a minute or two.
Now I have found it on ebay! I will be so incredibly disappointed if I do not win it when the auction ends in 4 days. Twelve minutes of Flower Duet in all its glory!!! =D Hooray!!!
Perhaps now that I have actually updated, I can start work again.

Today has thankfully come to a close much faster than I had anticipated. Nashville has also begun processing orders, yielding plenty of time to surf the net, B.S. with co workers, and find creative loopholes around the security settings our IT department has so carefully created in a futile attempt to halt our advances into the forbidden territories of cyber space.
More people are being sent elsewhere, some happy place I am sure where their services will be better appreciated and utilized. Honestly, the meager work load we "busy" ourselves with today would be considered time clock fraud in any other corporation I have worked for.
Inevitably, tears and harsh opinions of management's pragmatic approach to the changes taking place run rampant in our little cubicle community. In these trying times, people are quick to chose sides and switch parties in the fickle game of office politics.
I can not participate. Not for lack of an opinion, I just can't talk!! What began as a small respiratory infection last week has developed into Laryngitis. Yay for me. DO not take for granted being heard people, you never appreciate something like this until it is gone.
The times I miss it most is, of course, debating with Sid. For some reason, our discussions of late have been rather one sided *scratches head* Wonder why. Must be because I have lost the ability to interrupt.
And let me tell you, it is impossible to discipline a puppy when he messes on the floor by whispering NO! Bad Dog!! I think I actually caught him rolling his eyes at me last night.
Other than that, life is just ducky. I think I will go "work" on my bejeweled score now. Ta ta!

I am feeling pretty conflicted. On one hand it will be nice to re-join the outside world again, and have something resembling a life. Sleep will also be nice too. No more 6 a.m.!!
On the other hand, it still has not quite settled in that once I leave the building that has been my second home for the last year, I will never go back. Cant go visit, those people wont be there. The call center will be in Canada, and all my problems and escalations I have monitored and resolved so thoroughly for the last year will now be some one else's burden. In some ways it is liberating, but I already miss the familiarity of it all.
I hope Dell pans into something. I can't fathom how such a short time ago, I was a little frivolous child, carelessly bouncing from bar to bar and moment to moment in life, shirking any real responsibility that threatened to tie me down.
Now that I have succumbed to it, the idea of a lack of stability scares the shit out of me. Sid has helped me a lot with settling down. As much as I resented him at first for it, I can now see the importance of having something real to hold on to. An unlikely teacher, he has somehow managed to teach me, the unwilling pupil, the vast difference between potential and substance in life...and I have finally come to realize how one does not end up substituting for the other. At least, not in this reality.

Sorry to all who feel dissed, but my text messages STILL will not work for some f*#@ing messed up reason, Cingular cant get their stuff together.
Can't wait until this is over. Hopefully I will be stronger, richer (= less in debt), and much less irascible when coping with the petty inconveniences of life.

I said: "Okay fine, you wanna play hard ball? I am working at Dell now" (thinking this would faze him being that it presents a 'conflict of interest' and therefore is grounds for termination)

They are closing the call center at this location down, and work today is nauseating.
They let a bunch of my favorite sups go yesterday. Good people that taught me what I know. Bryan, our program manager, says they are cutting costs by reducing management overhead. Now all that remains of my once proud team of mentors are the obsequious sycophants, meandering the isles for another ass to kiss…anything that may help them stay one more week. And they are all the ones that suck IMHO.
Unisys had a job fair that I COMPLETELY missed due to the fact Sid didn’t know about it until right before I had to go to work. I am not sure I would have passed all of the PC questions anyway. Should I actually get an interview and should he actually read this:
Joe!! Care to give me the inside scoop?!
I spoke on winmess for a long time to John Chung, the big bad boss man in Australia, Singapore and New Zealand, for a long time yesterday. He said he was very surprised Microsoft would not have the “privilege” of working with me anymore, and that I have excelled rapidly and quickly since I was promoted to this position. Customer Satisfaction is up, error reports are down and things are flowing much more efficiently than prior to my arrival. He also said that what is happening is in no way a result of Microsoft’s satisfaction with the job APOC is doing. Trivial as the conversation may have been to him, I was relieved to feel a small amount of comfort in it. Better than the imperceptible appreciation an associate receives around here.
To anyone who has some ideas for where they may be hiring for a decent wage, I am all ears. These torturous seconds could not tick by any slower.

Try it
Stolen from
You entered: Charlotte Elizabeth Mc Daniel
There are 26 letters in your name.
Those 26 letters total to 116
There are 10 vowels and 16 consonants in your name.
Your number is: 8
The characteristics of #8 are: Practical endeavors, status oriented, power-seeking, high-material goals.
The expression or destiny for #8:
Your Expression is represented by the number 8. The 8 Expression is well-equipped in a managerial sense. You have outstanding organizational and administrative capabilities. You have the potential for considerable achievement in business or other powerful positions. You can expect to receive the financial and material rewards. You have the skill and abilities to establish or operate a business with great efficiency. You have good judgment when it comes to money and commercial matters, and you understand how to build and accumulate material wealth. Much of your success (or lack of it) may come due to your ability (or inability) to judge character. With the number 8 Expression, you exercise sound judgment in most of your affairs; you are realistic and practical in your approach to business matters.
The positive 8 Expression produces individuals that are very ambitious and goal-oriented. If the 8 energy is not in excess in your makeup, you will no doubt express these traits to some extent. No one has any more energy that a person with the 8 Expression who has a plan laid and is starting to work. No one has any more self-confidence, either. If you are expressing the positive qualities of 8, you are an outstanding manager because you can plan, initiate, and complete projects; you are very dependable and determined.
As it always happens, there can be too much of a good thing. If you have too much of the 8 energy in your makeup, you may express some of the negative attitudes. A negative 8 can be very rigid and stubborn. Ambition sometimes has a way of becoming over-ambition, and you may express an unreasonable impatience with the lack of progress. If your negative side is showing, you may be too exacting, both of yourself and of others. Sometimes this can even becomes a case of intolerance.
The number 8 is very materialistic and also very desirous of status and power. Neither of these drives are inherently negative unless they are taken to an extreme. You must avoid the tendency to strain after money, material matters, status, or power, to the detriment of the other important factors in your life.
Your Soul Urge number is: 4
A Soul Urge number of 4 means:
With the Soul Urge or Motivation number of 4 you are likely to strive for a stable life. You tend to follow a rather orderly pattern and systematic approach in your endeavors. You have an inner desire to serve others in a methodical and diligent manner. You want to be in solid, conventional, and well-regulated activities, and you are somewhat disturbed by innovation and erratic or sudden changes. Excellent at organizing, systematizing, and managing, you have a way of establishing order and maintaining it. You are responsible, reliable and in the final analysis, practical. Highly analytical, you can see your way through all sorts of situations and generally have a clear understanding of the issues. You are a very honest, sincere, and conscientious individual.
The negative side of the 4 is rigid, stubborn and somewhat narrow-minded. There is a tendency to hide feelings, or to really not be aware of real feelings. Avoid being too rigid and stubborn in your thinking, and try to always see the big picture rather than becoming to involved with the detail. Don't be afraid to take a chance once in awhile.
Your Inner Dream number is: 6
A Inner Dream number of 6 means:
You dream of guiding and fostering the perfect family in the perfect home. You crave the devotion from offspring and a loving spouse. You picture yourself in the center of a successful domestic unit.
| You Were Actually Born Under: |  Resourceful and practical, you are a quick thinker.
You are very observant - and it's hard to get anything past you!
A total perfectionist, you are especially picky about looking your best.
You're a big dreamer - such a big dreamer that reality can disappoint you.
You are most compatible with an Ox or Snake. | | You Should Have Been Born Under: | 
You are totally loyal, faithful, and honest.
However, you don't trust others to be as ethical as you are!
Straight forward and direct, you really aren't one for small talk.
You are a great listener - and an agreeable companion when you're in a good mood!
You are most compatible with a Tiger or Horse. |
The True You | | You want your girlfriend or boyfriend to do more for you. | | With respect to money, you spend as little as possible. | | You think good luck doesn't exist - reality is built on practicalities. | | The hidden side of your personality tends to be methodical in your ways - with trouble adapting to the rules of society. | | You are tend to think about others' feelings a lot, perhaps because you are so eager to be liked. | | When it comes to finding a romantic partner, you don't have any particular type in mind, but you are inclined to look for someone who will say yes when you ask him / her out. |

Wow, it has been a while since I last updated!
Times have been...tumultuous to say the least, sprinkled with moments of serenity. My mood around the house has soured considerably since my computer is now kaput. Sid and Robbie did everything they could but in the end, I guess it was just its time to go.
Work has been good, up until last week when we had to downsize our department from 24 to 11. I had to see a lot of my favorite co-workers go. Sucky.
Not much time to update right now and I want to hog everyone’s friend page with quizzes about me =P so I think I’ll leave with: I need a new phone, I need a new computer, what the f*&^ were the marketing execs at Coke thinking with the new little jingle “You put the lime in the Coke, you nut, and drink them both up”? *gross*

I finally figured out where that chick that played Marissa's lesbian girlfriend on the OC came from...you know, the bartender one?
SKIN!! Yes, remember that short-lived, Romeo and Juliet-esque 3 episode guilty pleasure?! Shamelessly and relentlessly plugged during the World Series a few years ago, it featured the DA's son, pornographer's daughter and was cast by numerous comely actors that easily fit in to the predictable elite, beautiful people club that is FOX's California teenage population.
It came to me in a dream (yes I was dreaming about her)oddly enough...dont ask =P
Glad to have finally figured it out, it feels like an itch that has at last been scratched. Did anyone else watch that show? I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed it. Who wouldn't love porn on primetime?

FABRICLIVE 16 - Adam Freeland |
] |
Adam Freeland kicked soooo much ass!! It was awesome seeing so many of you out there!! Didn't get any pics with him (that I can remember) but I do have this little token reminder:
It was kinda funny, it seemed almost everyone at that party was rolling! And not just cracked out little raver kids with UFOs and dying glowsticks, we're talking hootchies, frat boys, business men, and julios, all dressed up in their finest clubbing attire and enjoying the show. Seeing their black eyes staring in awe at the DJ and all the lights brought on a bout of nostalgia for a minute and since it has been so long, I was tempted to inquire about some disco biscuits. Then all it took was one big hairy guy lumbering by me, sporting a classic rolling face and sweating profusely to change my mind. Another night perhaps. Besides, it was 3 dollar Red Bull and Vodkas and Cape Cods!!
I befriended a little raver kid while dancing on the stage by Mr Freeland's tables. Well, thats not entirely accurate I suppose. As I was engaging in my usual "defensive dancing", which allows me to 'get jiggy with it' without having to be harassed by intoxicated neanderthals attempting to hump my legs on the dance floor, this little fella learned just how effective my technique can be when he stumbled into the line of fire and caught an elbow on his forehead! It only took a second looking at him to realize he didnt know what the hell was going on, so being that his presence now sitting on the bench beside me was not an act of sexual aggression but more one of desperation and confusion, I permitted him to stay and we made small chit chat throughout the night. But I'll be damned if before he left at the end of the night, he shook my hand goodbye and slipped me a small piece of what looked like paper. Anticipating it may have been a phone number, I was about to toss it when he looked away when suddenly I realized it was a baggie with a small X pill in it. Can we say PLUR?!? I found out later he actually was supplying a large portion of the party with pills. I hadn't noticed. It was very sweet of him, but now I just dont know what to do with it. Sell it I suppose *looks through raver blackbook from 2004*
Other than that, what else has been happening since my last update...*thinks* got to see Katy and Corinne YAY!! <3<3, also finally met Marcus's lady Conny, I moved into a new house, got a mystic tan, and Sid is probably going to India for 3 weeks for work :(
Gonna go find my brain and get some R&R before it's back to the grindstone tomorrow.

Apparently Aus/NZ have the day off even the day AFTER Easter, hence it is painfully boring around here right now. No one at MSFT is in the office so I cant get shit done. So I guess Ill do what most people do when they run out of meaningful, kewl shit to amuse themselves with

I figured I may as well ruin the mystery and suspense of it all by just getting it over with and finding out right now...

I dunno how accurate this is, kinda makes me wonder though. I have noticed especially lately how I am very "dual-natured" about issues. Depending on the day and the time, I can be one Buffy that handles it one way, or I can be another Buffy that would handle the same situation completely differently.

Wonders never cease. It has been a very hard week, both in my "professional" life and my personal life. Lo and behold, I come in today and apparently for all of the overtime hours I've worked these past two weeks, I actually WON an Xbox, dvd playback kit, extra controller, and Star Wars game!! I didnt even know I was in the running for one. When Bryan called me and asked me to come in earlier I didnt want to answer, I was afraid I was fired or something. I admit I did breathe a huge sigh of relief.
It was weird driving to work today. First of all, with 3:00 traffic I can make it to work in 30 mins. If I leave at 4, it actually took me and HOUR and a HALF the other day...I was late. I cant wait to move. I am so sick of the drive from Oltorf to Stonehollow during 4-5 o'clock nonsense.
104.3 is back, lol. That too was weird. What is going to happen next? Should I sell the Xbox?

] |
I dont know what to feel now that I finally had to acknowledge and accept that it is actually true. Mark killed himself. At first I thought it was one of those "fake your own death" tactics that some people previously in his line of work use to cut ties, disappear for a while, etc..but its true. His poor fiance...
Death is strange..the finality of it all. I knew he was going away for a while, but somehow I always thought I'd see that scruffy, Rick James quoting, barefoot mischievious guy again...polishing his guns..getting lost in Walmart...there to reach out to you at the oddest time you never knew you needed somebody.
It wasnt hard to for Mark to steal a piece of your heart the first time you met him. I was never in love with him, though he did steal quite a few hearts, but it was impossible not to be intrigued by his charisma. I always respected his wit, his opinions, and the way he would say the smallest uplifting comment to me at the most unexpected time when I would be feeling down and out on humanity and life in general. I would look at him and smile, not sure even he realized the impact of what he just said, and suddenly I would feel a small sense of hope about whatever it was I was bitching about...I wish I could have helped give him hope back somehow.
The sadness his passing has left in his wake was surprising to me at first...I didnt realize so many people knew him. I remember always trying to convince him to go to a party with me and my friends, enjoy a rave again, but he never wanted to go...said they were a thing of his past or he had "commitments". It seems life was losing its joy for him even then, he became more and more secluded.
Its hard to write about this shit at work, continuously giving people to go hell looks when they come up to ask me a question so I had better stop writing. I'll just leave it by describing the sick feeling that has been in my stomach all day. The world lost a good person, a special person when it lost Mark. We felt the loss the day society took him away, we'll forever mourn the loss of the day he took himself.

I really want a lite-brite. I never realized how much I never missed mine until now that I have happened to come across one online. I wonder what happened to that blast from my childhood past?
I find it hard to suppress vomiting or insanity whenever I hear Fat Boy Slim's song "praise you". The extent to which it grinds on my nerves and evokes repulsion throughout my every cell is quite astounding, even to me. Where this intense degree of revulsion stems from I am not aware, but I think either he(FBS) assaulted my mother in a pastlife or something equally traumatic must have happened to me that I am trying to block out. The unpleasantness of those unwelcome suppressed memories must be triggered every time that song plays, thus to blame for the way I loathe it so.
Yes that must be it.
Yet here I sit, powerless to quit listening to this wretched hold music until someone picks up...some unlikely hero that could end my torment and never know the magnitude of my gratefulness...some angel to restore harmony once again to my troubled psyche..ahhhh thats better...music changed. *whew*

You Are 30 Years Old |
30
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.

Andrea Bocelli - Sogno |

Well Toy is finally out of her misery now. My sister called me from my rents house this morning as I drove to work to inform me that they were taking her to the vet to probably put her to sleep. I tried to maintain my composure and tell myself it wouldnt happen, but not even I could convince me.
Then as I sat helplessly in the HH parking lot and sobbed my eyes out, I get another call from her saying they had just given her the first shot and she had about 10 minutes to live. At first I was angry I hadnt yet gotten a chance to ask my manager if I could leave so I could be there...but then I realized I couldnt make myself say goodbye if I wanted to. No way. And that made me cry harder.
I haven't felt the pain of this kind of loss in a while. It reminds me of why people vow to never let themselves be vulnerable, to never let anyone too close. I lived my life with that caution for a while. I think the main difference between this and that is the way this is completely out of my control. I hate feeling helpless. Its the worst feeling in the world.

I had the 4-12 shift, but a co-worker who is significantly older and with child had the 6-2 shift and could NOT work it considering her condition and the fact that her 3 year old can not be babysat past 12. Being in the holiday spirit n all, I agreed to switch, not realizing this may very well last until 2005.

Weird how applicable these things can be:
Scorpio: "Loved ones have you doing acrobatics in order to get the validation you desire. Consider the lenghts you will go to for something you could possibly provide for yourself. What would it take for you to love yourself more?"
There are two very different ways of perceiving this message that I dont think I could have ever fathomed prior to today...
oh yeah, Buffy's Dont ya hate it when #543
You get stuck behind an 18 wheeler that relentlessly hurls rocks at you from all angles of its massive frame? You can practically feel your windshield cracking and the paint chipping from your car as you desperately struggle to find an opening in the surrounding traffic. But no, there is no sanctuary from the onslaught as those demonic people intentionally form a barrier around your helpless vehicle, trapping you in the hot seat and mocking your angst as they say to themselves “Glad its not me”.
This was my morning...and there were 7 18-wheelers tormenting me...blocking every lane...now there is a little star slowly spreading across the glass of my windshield...I need to sue/kill someone....

Well damn! I got a computer that lets me access livejournal today...it feels like Christmas! Usually I am limited to reading the policies and proceedures from the intranet site in hopes there may be something interesting but today, though access to sites is still somewhat limited...I am happy to report time may actually pass a bit faster. Hurrah!
My body seems to be taking its sweet ass time healing from the car/baby saving/falling on the asphalt adventure. For memory's sake Ill post pictures later. Got my hair cut shorter than its been in years Pics to follow on that as well later.
Harte Hanks seems to be a fairly simple job troubleshooting Xbox issues and the like, as long as I dont get any sort of troubleshooting issues involving connections (which sadly is more often than not). I guess I am learning a lot but I will say, I miss AT&T wireless. It has also helped me realize how much harder that job was, but it paid more and I would love to go back. Maybe I can now that it is considered Cingular...
I am quite thrilled to announce that the hold music is TONS better than ATTWS. I am listening to a track right now that sounds like DnB \m/

You Are a Peacemaker Soul |
You strive to please others and compromise anyway you can.
War or conflict bothers you, and you would do anything to keep the peace.
You are a good mediator and a true negotiator.
Sometimes you do too much, trying so hard to make people happy.
While you keep the peace, you tend to be secretly judgmental.
You lose respect for people who don't like to both give and take.
On the flip side, you've got a graet sense of humor and wit.
You're always dimplomatic and able to give good advice.
Souls you are most compatible with: Warrior Soul, Hunter Soul and Visionary Soul

Funny how alike we all are, though we only have time to scratch the surface of just how much in our social events and outings we converse at, or even have time for...still you can look at that person you (unfortunately) hardly know at all, and you see yourself.
The same feelings and thoughts dwelling behind different faces, we understand one another better than we'll ever be aware. I wonder how many other faces are in similar places?

Damn, I dont remember a LOT of last night! I remember the huge thermos of Rum and coke I could barely stomach in the car on the way to Nunos, 6 cranberry vodkas, the 4 kazees that followed the announcement as we entered nunos for 1$ kazees, and the 3 maybe 4 shots of hypnotic...then bits and pieces of dancing on the stage...big ass crew o' friends from SA and A-town and feelings of intense love for all of them
Then I was outside...someone pointed out to me that my arm was cut open and bleeding...he was a guy with a red shirt and he was kind enough to take it off and wrap it around my arm to stop the bleeding(thankx whoever you were)...then magically I am at Plush, but the memories I have are getting crossed with Tuesday night's memories, its really weird! lol... then suddenly I am dropping off Laura back at Nunos...then I am drunk off my ass on the stairs outside of Bonnie's appt talking to Jeremy(according to my call log)about who the f*ck knows...then I am getting back in the car to meet Gillie at HEB...then driving back to my parents house to pack for Dallas...then ending up back at Bonnie's.
My head hurts but that was a f*ckin kickass night!! I didnt realize it till now but I was DRIZZZUNK!!!! Sorry if I did anything stupid guys..*muaz*

Its been a long ass week but I think its officially time to kick off the weekend. Pobre Malu is sick, not sure how bad so I'm gonna take her soup later. I wonder if she and Bonnie want to go out, cuz it looks like Marc Grant @ Sky tonight so I better find something sexy to wear so I can blend in with all those prissy yuppies...
Tomorrow I am 90% sure I am driving down to Houston for Judge Jules after I work in the morning. There is just no way I can go on living my life the same if I miss it, even if I do have to go solo. Everyone else is going to see Micro in San Antonio, who I love, but I have seen many many times. Yes, must see Judge Jules, its just not optional.
Had lunch with my mom today and forgot the little fact that if you eat a bunch of steak, potatoes, bread, veggies, chips,salsa, and queso and top it off with a few margarita presidentes...you will inevitably take a nap...a nice long nap...leaving you more than rested for naughtiness tonight ;)

You would think I'd have learned my lesson, perhaps there is truth in the saying "frailty, they name is woman" *sigh*
Last night at Nunos was awesome, Keeque threw down! I had to break up ANOTHER Sally squabble, this time involving Nikki..CRAZINESS!!! Ironically it was once again at the girl's bathroom door where I had to break up a fight last time Sally was a participant. Luckily I managed to slam the door in Sally's face while trying to hold back Nik, who seemed convinced she could climb over my shoulder and claw her way back out to rumble! It would have been a good fight to watch no doubt, but I didnt think the timing was appropriate.
From now on I am using the men's room if that girl is anywhere within a 5 mile radius of me so make way fellas!!
