Thanks to Rei Rei, I am now sipping Parisian Green Tea with Cherry Blossom. Yum!
Otherwise, still around. A few weekends ago, I did a "model shoot" for Rei Rei with some dresses she made. She's so talented! Anyhoo, some pictures are up on Facebook. I had fun with it, it felt really neat to be doing that sort of thing again. And I also got to keep a pair of 6 1/2 inch heels! I've been practicing in them, they're fun XP
I've been working a lot more lately...and that's about it (as usual). This weekend, my stepbrother found an abandoned kitten in the park. So he took it home, I cared for it last night...poor thing is really thin and had all this gunk in his eyes which I cleaned. Today I called my boss at work because I knew she was interested in a kitten...her other cat got ran over a few weeks ago....she came over with her daughter and she took the kitty home, hooray! It's a nice feeling to have done a good deed for someone.
So....I'm not looking forward to my birthday. At all. Why am I freaking out so bad about turning 24? I'm dreading it.....I have no hope -.-

*ahem* Nevermind a few, ah, complications, all is going alright with me. So cold outside, tho -.-
So because I'm antsy and wishing for something to do, I shall post a meme --
1. Ask me to take pictures of any aspect of my life you're curious about.
2. Leave your requests as comments to this entry.
3. Please look at the previous requests as to not do repeats.
4. I'll snap the pictures and post them.
I REALLY hope I get comments on this! I need a project to keep me occupied.
Otherwise, it's a not-so-secret secret that I want to sing! I miss playing Kareoke Revolution. Maybe one day I can try actual kareoke. And I miss video games in general -.- Singing and whatnot in the car to and from work just isn't cutting it anymore for me.
And I need to somehow find/watch Flight of the Conchords. :P
So...yes. I'm counting on people for this meme! Miss everyone and hope everyone is well!

Well, Friday was one of the worst days I've had in a long time. It started with random puddles of Tony vomit in my room. I'm not sure if he's sick, or it's my theory that he eats so fast that he throws it back up. So that was no fun. There are still faint spots on my rug, even after spraying and scrubbing and rug-shampooing. Gross.
Then, there's no electrical power. There was a bad ice storm Thursday night and the entire area was wiped out. Oh, and the best part! I go outside to my car to drive to work (after cleaning up puke most of the morning, without water and light mind you) and THERE'S NO REAR WINDSHIELD. Chunks of glass were everywhere and the inside of the car was soaking wet. Some ice and/or a tree branch must have fell on it during the night and smashed right on the window. Now, there is just a huge gaping hole in the back. Luckily, there is car insurance so I don't have to pay a thing to have it replaced. It will be done on Tuesday, I'm taking off of work so I can let them in (they're coming to the house to do it). But still. Scary, and so upsetting! Mom had to drive me to work, and that night my co-worker Lori drove me to Kingston on her way home to a hotel where the rest of my family was staying. Thankfully, the electricity and running water came back on Saturday afternoon. But many homes still don't have power. Wires are still down and huge trees are split right down the middle and some fell over entirely. I'm just glad the mess is over -.- At least it was somewhat warmer today.
That was my horrid Friday. I just have one more week of work and then seeing Levi, and then Key West! I can't wait to get out of here. And I don't go back until January 5th. One good thing about working at a school -- school breaks.
Switching subjects, a movie that I have fallen in love with, Eagle Vs. Shark, SEE IT. It's adorable, it's awkward, it has great music, it's dork-tastic, did I mention it's adorable?? Think of it as a combination of Napoleon Dynamite, and Little Miss Sunshine set in New Zealand. Netflix folkx, put it on your list!! I can't recommend it enough. The main girl, a character named Lily, is so awkw-ordable that you just fall for her immediately. It may be a bit hard to find, being it a foreign film and whatnot, but it's worth it if you do. I'd buy it if I could. Love love love it XD
I did that LJ comment tally recently, where it counts up how many comments all your LJ friends have left you and it ranks them, anyone remember that? I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to post the results up on here though. Bob ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) bee_oh_three is my number one commenter, taking the post from Frank frankieteardrop , who went into a Prince-lyric frenzy the last time I did this. But generally, I just haven't been getting as many comments like I used to. Have people just grew up from LiveJournal? Disinterest? Nothing to say? New technology is leaving LiveJournal in the dust? Hmph, curious.
Oh! And Christmas cards! I sent out my bunch earlier this week, hopefully they got to their intended recipients alright??

01. What is/was your favorite show on TV?
I always enjoyed Scrubs. But otherwise...I'm not too picky about television. I've become such a movie person lately.
02. What are you wearing at the moment?
Black t-shirt with Marvel Zombies characters all over the front, blue jeans I've had since high school. And eyeglasses.
That's the image on the shirt....you get cookies if you can identify all the characters.
03. What was the best part of your day?
Seeing a bunch of old men come into the store today wearing these hats:
I want one.
04. What is your favorite dish to cook?
Um....hmm. So ironic that I work at a prestigious culinary college and yet don't know a single thing about cooking.
05. What is your favorite drink?
Mmm...tea.
06. What is your room like?
My room, let's see....cluttered dresser with TV on it, a bulletin board with random papers and a set of plastic handcuffs on it, my comic book/yearbook collection in one corner, my DVD collection in another corner, and my novels and etc. against the other wall...um...a couple of posters and pictures, a styrofoam human skull, my RHPS boa hanging by my window....pictures of family and friends right by my bed....a voodoo doll and a couple of plastic wine glasses with skeleton hand stems...Ella the computer by the window...my bed with it's electric blanket plugged in...a litter box, a cat bed and a food dish and water bowl for Tony (who's almost always in here)...spare litter and catfood....a couple of stuffed animals....a shoe hanging thing that hangs on my door...a mirror on the floor leaning against the wall....um...that's it :P
07. What is your favorite restaurant?
Don't really have one. I instead love trying new places and different foods! I wish more people I know shared that same sort of desire with me :/
08. What will you be doing after finishing this?
Probably watching a movie, or changing into PJs. Yay for having off from work tomorrow!
09. What did you want to be when you grew up?
a writer, a fashion designer, or working with animals. I also loved the idea of being a store owner in a shop of really odd, amazing quirky things.
10. Your favourite movie?
Rawr. Too hard!
11. Which family member are you closest to?
my Mom, no doubt.
12. What are you most afraid of?
being alone, my horrible paranoid thoughts about everyone hating me coming true.
13. Favourite place(s) to shop?
clearance racks. Eh? How's that for an answer ;D
14. What does the next 5 years hold for you?
Hopefully traveling, more adventures and new experiences...a different job. Still not sure about that whole marriage thing.
15. What's the meaning behind your LJ username/name/nicknames you go by?
'spudy_massacre' rhymes with bloody massacre. And I'm commonly known as Spud. Yeah, what :P

As posted, a somewhat serious (okay not really) post! This really goes out to Frank, Natalie, Bob, and James...please get in touch with me to make 100% sure if you can come to the show next weekend or not? And since the show won't end till about 2 in the morning, a hotel in the local area is to be our best bet. I did some research online and the Econo Lodge is our most affordable bet, at $129 for the night, and it's not far at all. I looked on site and it said for 4 people, there can be two doubles in one room and a cot can be brought in for a maximum of five people. So yeah, PLEASE let me know ASAP about any plans or decisions! You all have my cell phone number, AIM and other cyber jibba-jabba.
And another thing, commuting? If training it, myself or my Mom won't have any problem picking you up at the Poughkeepsie station. If car-ing it, let me know so I can give you the address and whatnot.
Also, for the Oneonta people who expressed an interest in coming...I know Levi's mom mentioned she may be able to drive a few of you down to the show...please let either myself or Levi know for sure? And the same info about the hotel also applies here.
So yeah, I thought I'd get some info out. Final dress rehearsal is tomorrow, and EEK I'm nervous! And work...work is bleh -.- They won't give me off on the Saturday after the show, I have to work from 4 till 8 30ish in the evening. Rawr. And I dunno, I've just been feeling sort of depressed and gloomy lately. I'm losing my 'touch' i think. I fear I'm losing a unique edge I once had, and now I'm turning into an old, haggard work drone >< SIGH.

- Ping! Bullets! Zip!
- Rocky Horror is going well, I have the outfits about done and I've been practicing walking in heels. I'm still working on that darn Floor Show Routine tho. But I'm glad everyone in the cast is really nice and not judgemental, because I've never really "acted" before (except in class).
- Speaking of which, I'm so so glad that some of my friends will be able to see me in it! I sent out some invites on Facebook and I'm really excited at those who said they will be coming! :D Even my Mom is going!
- I FINALLY got shades in my room! Yessssss.
- Spaced is a great show. Much thanks to vivification for getting me into it.
- Wedding in less than a week! SQUEE. Yay to Natalie and Frank! And Levi is going to come, too :)
- And YAY for this:
 <-- This is the Clever Cat Litter Box. To go potty, the cat climbs down through the hole right there at the top. Privacy, no kicked litter all over the place (the mat at the top helps that a great deal), no pee on the walls and all over, it keeps odors in, and there are plastic liners that go right in it, so if you have to, you can just take out the liner w/the old litter in it and put in a new one! Tony has one and it's right in my room, since he pretty much lives with me. It's great! - Hmm. And Fieval Goes West, anyone remember that movie? Or the first one, An American Tail? It was on HBO recently and I was watching it and my Mom comes downstairs...she doesn't have to say anything I know right away she's like ^-^;;; at the thought of a 23 year old watching animated kid's movies.

Much thanks to everyone for their encouragement in regards to my role as Janet in the Rocky Horror production! Rehersals(sp?) started this past Friday. I have most of the words down, but have to work on the movements a bit. Good thing I have Mike magickalmike as the perfect Brad to help me through ^-^ The other day I went to the Goodwill in Kingston...I have an outfit set for the opening scene, but have to work on the Floor Show getup, and probably wouldn't be a bad idea to actually get a copy of the movie :P I used to have one, but it got taken away...
....but yeah. So to all those who are interested, the 2008 Apoca-lips Cast at Dutchess Community College will be performing The Rocky Horror Picture Show on Friday, October 24th, 2008. Doors open at 10pm, and the show starts roughly around midnight. Anyone who would be traveling would be welcome to stay over at my house...tho it's a bit of a distance away, but whatev. We have couches and blankets and whatnot ^-^ and I'd probably be taking that Saturday off of work, so we can hang out and play all weekend, if interested :P But back to the show, admission is free, and props are given to you before the show. Don't hold back if you know any callbacks, and we encourage all forms of dressing up! Corsets and fishnets and heels ahoy! It will be a grand time :)
It's great having this as something new to focus on, other than work and home. And also, Frank and Natalie's wedding is only a few weeks away! Yipes! I'm really glad tho, that Levi will be able to come! And it's his birthday the day right after so I'll try to think of something fun to do then for him. And he gets to meet more of my friends! I'm so happy ^-^
I was going to do that 'take a picture of yourself right now' meme thing, but I can't figure out how to size the picture right. Eh well.
Oh! And a Happy Belated Talk Like A Pirate Day to everyone! I love how on Facebook you can go to the language options and select English (pirate) and have your entire Facebook in Pirate speak :P Yarrrrrrr.

So! I've got fun news :D This year, I am cast as Janet Weiss in the Dutchess Community College's production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show ! I'm really excited about it :) Mike magickalmike is running it, and he's going to be portraying Brad, so it's going to be really great! I'd LOVE for people to come see it, but I'd understand if the trip may be a bit much. But still! Me! In front of people! And if you don't like me, you can just shout "SLUT" just a bit louder than everyone else who will be shouting it :P
That's my major news. I think it'll be great to have a break from my routine of work-commute-home that's been my life these past few weeks. But yeah, pictures will be taken, most definitely.
Yesterday I spent some time with Rei Rei before she goes off to England again (this time for grad school). We took a train to the city, and hopped on a subway, and roamed around East Village and NYU for a bit, looking in random shops and whatnot. It was ridiculously hot, but we still had a good time. I left Frank a message on his phone because I recognized some of the places that he and Bob and I went to that time I took a bus from Oneonta to spend the day with them. Memories :P But he didn't answer his cellyphone tho. Boo.
Otherwise that's it. Work is the same, home is the same. No surprise that Tippie, the cat who was here before Mom, myself and Tony moved in, has taken an ultimate preference towards me over the other people in the house. At least he and Tony get along tho ^-^

Mr. Bungle -- Chemical Marriage |
] |
Salutations from 1 2-3 year old! My birthday was low-key and I was quite content with it. Thanks so much for anyone who called, imed, or left messages on Livejournal,Facebook and/or Myspace. It's fun being popular for a day.
I've mostly been keeping busy with work, and commuting to/from work. Not very exciting! But the job is going good and I'm just about completely used to it now. Although today a woman accused me of short-changing her. Please, I know the cash that I'm given.
The home life is going too. It's so different having (step)siblings. I'm not used to it being so loud all the time, and clutter and chaos. Luckily my two stepsiblings don't seem to have a problem with me, which is good. And Ralph, my stepfather, he's great. It's nice to actually sit down with everyone and just talk about random things and laugh. It's nice to say a joke and have people either roll their eyes or laugh, and not yell at me or tell me to shut up. Is this closer to what 'normal' is like, I wonder?
So while the job and the homelife are good, I'm having some issues with being social and my own personal image of myself. I know I live in the middle of pretty much nowhere now, so I guess it's understandable that I'm missing all my far-away friends (at this rate, all of them) much more hard-core lately. And while I talk to people at work, it just isn't the same and I still sit by myself during lunch break while all the chefs and faculty are there. And the students...they're sort of snooty to tell you the truth. That's right, look down on me because I'm a worker, and not a in-debt student at a ridiculously expensive college who has to use a credit card to pay for a $0.30 pack of gum. Sheesh.
Yeah, so I definitely want to see familiar faces at some point. I'm thinking of driving to Oneonta this weekend to visit everyone there, because I have two days off from work so I can make a weekend of it. And if timing works out, maybe to Binghamton too to visit Jeff. But I'm really nervous of driving there -.- And where will I stay? And there are lots of new faces/attitudes in our group of friends...will I get along with them? I guess I have to make a decision soon, it is after all only the day after tomorrow...
and at some point I'd really love to visit Bob, Frank and Natalie (and Napoleon too) again in the city. I always have such a good time with them. But alas, scheduales always seem to conflict and whatnot, and it doesn't help that most Saturdays I work. Boo. But at any rate, I'll definitely be there for the wedding on October 4th. So exciting :D I still sometimes can't believe that one of my closest friends, whom I've known for about 5 years and change, is getting married, and to one of the most awesome girls ever. Squee.
But yeah. So job, Ren Faire with Rei Rei (before she goes off to England again :P), Dutchess County Fair with Levi, the beach, a nasty case of sunburn,and my birthday. Summer has come and gone....good times.
And Freaks is such an awesome movie. The end.

Working for the CIA keeps me busy, which is good. My mother is married now and it was a very nice wedding ceremony. We're just about completely moved up into Tivoli, which I'm still getting used to. I went by myself to see The Dark Knight this past Saturday at the local theater, and I was not disappointed. They need to feature Harley Quinn in one of those films, dammit....
I'm also watching a lot of the Chiller channel on TV as of late. I love watching Tales from the Crypt, and cheesy 60s and 70s horror movies. I'm starting to get into Twin Peaks as well, because that channel airs it a lot.
Otherwise, not much to say...I can't wait until Ella gets hooked up at the new house. My room is small and cozy and cute with a shelf that sticks out on two of the walls. I put all my comics and photos and a few cards friends have given me on it; it cheers me up. Tony is adjusting and each night he sleeps right by my chest.
That's it, still alive! Leave me something here to look forward to, folks.

Azis w/Malina -- Nai Krasivata |
] |
So there's a new man in my life...
but nobody worry. I don't think Levi is going to feel threatened by a burly Bulgarian gypsy transvestite pop singer. Nonetheless, I have been enjoying Azis's songs as of late, my favorite two being duets with another Bulgarian singer, Malina. "Cernite Ochi" and "Nai Krasivata" are the songs I'm talking about. They're Bulgarian "pop-folk" and while I have no idea what's being said, it's still fun, catchy and dancey.
I don't have too much international music on Ella, just some Japanese, French, Romanian (O-Zone YAY), Korean, and maybe a song or two of something else. How about anyone out there? Any international recommendations you care to share?
Otherwise, I've just been busy busy working for the CIA. I have my own keys to open and close and everything! I'm still nervous and at the end of each day, I wait for someone to tell me to not bother coming back. Hasn't happened yet....
...and my Mother is getting married on Friday! So I've also been busy prepping for that and the move. I've begun setting up my new room which has definately helped ease my nerves a bit. It's going to be so cute :)
Had a nice 4th of July with Levi...saw fireworks, watched Zombie Strippers a couple of times (an awesomely ridiculous movie I DEFINITELY recommend), defeated him in bumper cars, mini golf, and skee-ball (tho he came from out of nowhere to defeat me in air hockey....!), rescued a fish at the pet store, visited the Ashokan reservoir (the place where your water comes from, you NYC peeps), and other such random adventures. It was fun. And he'll be coming to the wedding, too. So probably pictures to come at some point.
Seriously, though. Zombie Strippers. Don't miss it.

Earth's Screams would make a good band name. What kind of music, though? |
] |
A real post to come at some point. Been busy with the job and getting ready to move and the like...that's pretty much it.
Just wanted to share a few things, though...
The trailer for a movie coming out called Repo! The Genetic Opera. It's a rock musical starring Giles from Buffy, Sarah Brightman, and Paris Hilton (though you really can't recognize her which is good). It's about a futuristic society focused on transplanting/repossessing human organs, all set to a rock music score. What do you think? Cult classic in the making? Sin City and/or V for Vendetta and/or Rocky Horror Picture Show ripoff? I won't deny that I am intrigued.
The next thing I'm interested in is this scientific article about how the Earth emits these noises, or "screams" and how aliens can possibly pick up on them and how they are awful (the sounds) and whatnot. Really fascinating stuff! I will admit I'm not the best at all in science, but I never mind learning a new thing or two. Credit to lustre for posting about it in her entry. I'm just sharing the info --
Read the article.
Listen to the sounds (and an informational clip summarizing the article).
That's it. Hope everyone is doing good, otherwise.

I got a job! Whoopee hooray hooray XD I'll be working in Hyde Park starting this Monday. Beautiful place, good starting salary...can't wait!
Otherwise, this weekend was fun. Levi visited me ^-^ We took a train to Croton for Caroline fairlyoddblonde 's graduation party on Saturday. On Sunday, we went to my cousin's house for a party thing. It was very hot, so Levi and I played with my three year old second cousin (my cousin's son...so I think it's a second cousin) in a kiddie pool thing. Yay.
Yesterday I drove Levi all the way from Po-town to Shokan, my farthest drive yet so far! It was my first time crossing a bridge ever and I was very nervous. But I made it alright. We then watched The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 and then I took Levi out for some practice driving. He has a road test coming up and I promised him I'd take him out. -.- I was definitely nervous at some points, but overall he didn't do too bad. Then there was a downpour thunderstorm which made me really scared to drive home by myself. But I went anyway, and while the ride back home was long, it wasn't too too bad.
But yeah. New job!
and running zombies? Like in that remake of Dawn of the Dead?? Scary O.o

Tom Jones and Portishead -- Motherless Child |
] |
Tomorrow will mark one whole year since my Grandpa passed away. I'm going to a church service followed by a trip to the cemetary with my family tomorrow.
And I know it's stupid, but it sometimes really gets to me that I'm taken off peoples' Top Bunches on MySpace or whatever.
Hardly anyone even comments on here anymore, either.
I feel I'm pretty much completely forgotten by the very few friends I have here where I live. And even at school...I talk to maybe two people. The rest don't seem to care, or don't respond when I IM them. Levi is always saying, "Oh, everyone at school really misses you and blahblahblah all the time!" but I haven't spoken to these people in weeks and weeks. What the hell?
Maybe I really am better off moving this summer. That's right, I'm getting out of Po-Town. Not that anyone would care, or want to visit or anything.
Bob is visiting on the last weekend of May, though, and I'm really really looking forward to that. And I'm going to plan something with James, too. Also, I saw Levi last weekend, and will again this coming weekend. Yay for boyfriends.
I just wish I had friends here! Or even something to do. I don't know where, or how to meet people that would even be interested in me. I'm not "wierd" or "cool" or anything like that. I get so sad about this sort of thing that I just cry about it. Yeah, stupid I know.
I've done my share of travelling to see everyone. I ask that people come visit me if they want to see me so bad, I send things and IMs and Facebook thingies and whatnot, and suddenly weeks pass without so much a word of conversation.
Thanks a lot.

Mindless Self Indulgence -- Never Wanted to Dance |
] |
Instead of posting "artsy" photos here, I've made an album on Facebook to post such pictures, if you ever want to take a look . I'm really loving and getting used to my camera, and the weather has been *so nice* lately. Sort of inspires me ^-^
Otherwise, new Mindless Self Indulgence album, If, came out yesterday. Not too bad, pretty much the same sound they've had for awhile. MSI takes me way back to high school freshman year.....damn, I'm old :P
So! I went shopping today. I've lost a noticible amount of weight lately, and all my clothes were getting very baggy on me. That, and the anticipation of seeing my friend Rei Rei's designs in the Marist College fashion show tomorrow made me want to maybe try and spruce up my style a bit. Money is a lot better for my mother and I right now, so why not? Even my Mom encouraged me to go.
After failed attempts at Old Navy and Hot Topic (clearance rack of course), I ventured over to H and M. I usually have good luck there, and the prices really aren't that bad. If I'm not at Goodwill or whatever, I try to shop at a store with good prices and whatnot. I picked out a variety of things and noticed that either all I get is a) black b) grey or c) stripes (with black) . I was hoping to try and get something colorful but not much luck with that. I'm still a bit concious of my body and feel that the black and darker colors are more slimming to my figure.
I also tried to step out of the box by trying on a couple of dresses, you know, those springy light fabric ones with the skinny straps. That wasn't as bad as I feared it would be. After much debating, I decided on a just-below-the-knee length dress, with black and grey stripes XP The stripes go in a "V" pattern, so it's quite slimming and makes my stomach look flat. Another dress that took me forever to decide on was a dark green dress with black leopard spots on it, just-above-the-knee length. It's peasent-skirt styled, so it's tight at the top and swirly towards the bottom. The one thing about these dresses that slightly concerns me is only how they look with bras and whatnot. I'm not that flat where I could get away with not wearing one if I wanted to -.- But, I'll improvise and whatnot, I guess. I can also wear tops and blazers over the dresses...it's ridiculous, how many thoughts go through my head when I'm in a dressing room -.-
I also got two grey tops; I got a light sweater/shirt, and a tank top with ruffles on the bottom. Gotta love clearance. Also, while shuffling through the sale rack (50% off), I found a pair of black jeans. Something that took me a bit to get used to, they were in that tight, straight leg style all the way down. What is that called? Anyhoo, they're snug, but nothing uncomfortable. I'm surprised they make my ass look good...I have slight booty-age when it comes to that. I was embarressed because I had to call the salesperson in to ask her if they looked alright...if that's how they were supposed to look. I'm used to shopping alone, but sometimes, it really would be nice to have company. The girl explained the style to me and assured me I looked fine. A couple of customers also in the fitting room echoed her statements as well. Definately my new "skinny" pants.
What about anyone who reads this? What have your shopping experiences been like? Am I the only one who goes by herself? What do you look for, or automatically tend to get when you're shopping for clothes? Guys too, please respond!
That was my day, and I fueled up my car at the cheapest gas station where I live, Stewarts for $3.73 a gallon. I'm grateful that my car does so well with mileage and gas and all that. Prices. Are. Ridiculous.
I'm also pretty sure I have a job! It's up in Rhinebeck, which is sort of a trip, but nothing I can't handle. They keep making me come to "see how things work" and "if I can handle a fast-paced environment". Argh! Just tell me if I do or do not have the job, already!!

Erasure -- Chains of Love |

Soooo. What to update with? Life isn't as exciting as it used to be for me. The only thing now is this slow, occuring mental breakdown/life crisis I seem to be having. I'm in a rut and try as I may, I just can't get out of it.
One small thing tho, I got a haircut. Pretty short. It's in the same sort of short, choppy style as Agyness Deyn...except my natural dark blonde, not platinum...
So yeah...she's apparently the hot new model nowadays.
This past weekend I saw Batboy the Musical up at Marist with Rei Rei. Pretty bizarre....but I do love my Batboy. We met up with my friend Michael from Rockland too.
Not much else to update with...I do wish my camera worked. Or my scanner. Because then I could load the pics from when I was at NYC. I got them developed and enough of them are surprisingly decent. Napoleon came out especially well, then again he is one photogenic cat. Is there a way to get snapshots onto a picture CD, or something? Or is there no point to that, really?
Also, is there ever possibly a way to not frickin' care about people so much? Do I have to completely isolate myself in order to not let others' actions, drama or whatnot affect me? It is ridiculous that crap that can happen up at school can leave me bothered, worried and whatnot so much. I don't even go there anymore. What the hell. And here I am insane because I am always wondering what everyone thinks of me and if I'm even missed or not. Help!
A friend said that calling me a bitch was like calling Ghandi a murderer. Maybe I do have to be a bitch, though? :(

So! Enough of a weekend to keep me satisfied :) After enough debating (my mother had the flu) on Friday I boarded the train from Po-town on its way to NYC....to finally see Frank perform onstage with the Funeral Crashers! Got the full access-tour (heh), hung out at Crash Mansion w/ an open vodka bar from 9 - 10 with Bob and James! I love my Oneonta 2004 friends, seriously. And I'm so glad we kept in touch throughout the years. Good performances overall from everyone that night, Frank was setting up to spin for the rest of the night when everyone was kicked out...apparently there was a health code violation of some sort. Wasn't me, I swear it! Anyhoo, that was the end of that....Natalie, Frank and I headed back to their apartment...after some Napoleonic kitty cuddling (that poor cat....tho I do think he enjoyed it) ,Frank and I then watched Flight of the Living Dead until the wee hours of the morning.
Yesterday started off delightfully lazy....Drawn Together and bagels...more playing with the cat (this would happen throughout the visit), we then watched 28 Days Later ( a good zombie movie to balance out the bad), watched the end of it when Bob came over, I opened the package from Mel, and was delighted with everything in there (yes, even the pickle stuff, tho it was past its date) very much. Birthday cake in celebration for Bob, kitty goodbyes, hugs, bag gathering, and Bob and I were off. We arrived at Grand Central, Bob went his way and I went mine, and my mother picked me up at the train station 8:30ish that night.
Pictures on Facebook one of these days. Damn disposables. But not a bad way to spend a day that only comes once every four years!
And...that's it. Caught up on sleep today, tidied up a bit in my room, and watched Monster. Tony is finally coming around to me....I guess he was a bit taken by the whiff of a different cat on my clothing....he's such a brat, seriously!

So.....yet ANOTHER death in the family. This time it was my mom's cousin's husband. At least this time, the wake/funeral was right in Wappingers Falls. But seriously....what. the. hell.
A relative gave me a couple of pictures of my Mom and Floridad from way back when they were together. I cherish the few pics I have like no one's business! Heh being married on Valentines Day DOES NOT mean anything different. ^-^;; My mother and I also scored a copy of a shot of the entire family of my grandmother's side of the family....even my great-grandparents are in it! How awesome is that? And how handsome was my Grandpa...I really miss him a lot :( I think about him every day.
Otherwise, that's it...I saw Caroline over their school break, and we saw Enchanted for a dollar at the South Hills Mall. How cute was this movie?! I adored the doofus that was Prince Edward :P Somethings just didn't make sense but what else would you expect from a Disney movie...definately worth the dollar...shucks, I may have even sprung for TWO dollars on any other day there!
Now, someone tell me a story...I want more comments too! Dammit :P
