It's Amazon for me
Haven't done much of anything today. Slept for most of it, managed to get some laundry done somehow. Short shift at work and it went by pretty fast. Chelsea might actually work out great and it'd be nice to have another person added to the group of us that hang out. Cause right now that group is me and Amanda.....yeah.
Anyways Haven't felt like doing much online tonight. Just been shopping for dvds. I'm kinda a freak about it really. I have a list on several sights and every week (when I can afford it) I get one or a few from my list. I keep track of which ones I want more than others and when I ordered them and when they get here. Hey, at least I can admit that I'm a little nuts. I'm mostly a Amazon.com girl. Thomas made fun of me like who buys a dvd on amazon? He's more Ebay but honestly I've never found the prices there to be any better than they are on amazon. He says the customer services is better, dunno if it is cause I've never had to use it except for now that this one dvd that apparently isn't coming. But that one was really my fault because for some reason I didn't look real close at the seller and his rating was either brand new or really bad. If you stick to sellers that have been around a while with a good approval rating and a ton of reviews, you really can't go wrong. Anyways they closed his account (probably cause he was ripping everyone off) so I'm trying to get my money back since apparently amazon has the money and not him. He sent me an email a while back saying they're the ones who messed it all up. I don't really know how true that is, actually I doubt that's true at all. Luckily they've got a money back guarantee so once enough time has passed I'll get it all fixed. I wouldn't buy stuff from anywhere online if there wasn't some kind of guarantee. Luckily now all the big sites have things like that so I feel much more comfortable buying stuff. I know people worry about identity theft from buying stuff online but I think it's a risk for everyone. If you have a credit card or a SSN or anything there's a chance that someone, somewhere, somehow will take it. I do worry about stuff like that happening to me but it's not going to stop me from using my debit card online or in a store. I'm more the live my life and deal with stuff if it happens kinda girl. I think about my decisions but in the end if I want to do something I'll do it and the benefits outweigh the risks in my mind. That's just how I deal with stuff, probably not the most effective way but oh well.
Haven't been to a single forum tonight, very odd for a loser/geek like myself. Mood just hasn't struck me. If I can't sleep later maybe I will but for the most part I think this will be as active as I get tonight in the virtual world. Thinking about using the rest of my online Netflix movie time to watch something. That works out really nicely most of the time. The parents have an account and I get to watch x hours of movies online every month. I also get stuff in the mail if I ever want it, but most of the time I'm happy with what I can find on their sight or by slightly less legal means. I've watched many a pirated movie/tv show I'm sad to say but sometimes it's just so much easier than trying to find it on Netflix. The selection of stuff you can watch online is really very limited so if I get in the mood for something and I don't own it I can usually find it somewhere. Hopefully admitting this won't get me arrested or something. :P
I really really really need a haircut. I took it down after work and it's all the same length. Which for some people might not be a problem but my hair is way too thin for this to look remotely good on me. I should have gotten off my lazy ass and done it today but I guess it hasn't quite gotten to the point where I'm actually motivated to do something about it. Don't really have time to do it the rest of this week. Maybe I can fit it in Wednesday after work. It's harder now without Jen being there anymore I'm gonna have to find someone new but for this time I think I'll just have to walk in and take my chances. Luckily the place I go to is nice enough that I wouldn't really worry too much about anyone in there cutting it for me. They're all really good and besides I'm not terribly picky about it. Especially now that it looks so bad any kind of cut is going to be a major improvement at this point.
Nite guys.

The secret of the sandwich.
Nother Sunday. Church, choir, sleepy, Colts game, Cracker Barrel, nap, random Sunday night tv and then forum/blogging. All in all a good day.
Colts won! I was worried there for a while, they played so terrible in the first half but got it together with that last drive before halftime and then of course the 3rd quarter is all ours. Peyton had me worried for a while, mostly because he kept throwing into defenders and was lucky he didn't get intercepted. Plus I'd really love it if his QB rating was better than stupid old Tom Brady's but after the Pat's game today don't think that's gonna happen. Not that I care so much about that rating but announcers eat that stuff up. Never mind that New England's had a MUCH easier schedule than we have. Today they played Washington and beat them by like 40 some odd points. Now that's just showing off. You'd better save all that for when you come to Indy next week. So much hype for this game now that both teams'll be coming into it undefeated. The excitment has been building ever since we've known the schedule for this season but still, now it's here! Going downtown to watch the game somewhere with Amanda next week. Probably end up at Hard Rock. Good crowd there and it's not usually as packed as some of the sports bars and such.
No td for Dallas today, not much of anything really. He had a few defenders on him pretty much the whole time. It's ok though, love him anyways. And he flew back to do sports locker on channel 8 which is always a good time. So adorable. *big cheezy grin* And today's player of the game on that show was Gary Brackett! Good for him, he comes into work during the week and gets his turkey sandwich. Which of course we all know is the REAL secret of his success.
Dad brought me back some of the lunch they had. I decided not to wait because they didn't even get a table til after the game started. You know I gotta be die hard for my Colts when I pick them over a good meal. So that was really nice of them to bring me back some chicken, carrots and biscuits. Which was so weird because I think it was last night I got KFC and they were out of biscuits. I almost said never mind I'll go somewhere else but didn't want to be rude. When I pulled up to the window I was about to ask if I could have an extra one but before I could the drive thru lady asked if it was ok if she gave me extra chicken since they were out of biscuits. I do love my carbs, especially delicious flaky baked ones....mmmm. All this probably explains why my blood pressure was so high (something like 140/109) the other night at the emergency care place. Damn you sodium for making everything so tasty. Well now there's really no question as to why I look like I do, I've spent the majority of this post talking (and thinking) about biscuits.

Another one bites the dust
So another week done. Now I can check it off my list. It's so pathetic, they're all the same. All blending from one to the next in one gigantic swirling cloud of gray and blah, til they all just sink down together in the black hole that is my pathetic existance. Tonight was boring. And slow, so very very slow. I was so tired for no reason at all. Just kept dragging myself around work trying to find stuff to do to make the time pass. I wanted to be posted up here instead of there. After 6 days in a row it gets kinda old being there all day. Thank goodness for Sundays.
I was driving home last night on 465, just kinda on automatic, radio goin loud so I wouldn't drift too far off while behind the wheel. I like driving, sometimes I just get up and go. Take the really long way home, even take the loop around the city if the mood strikes. Driving always makes me feel better for some reason. Clears my head, and it's actually very relaxing. There's on stretch of interstate that's great at night. It's down by the airport, there's lots of lights and sometimes a plane taking off or landing. Makes me slow down, kinda emo really. I watch the streetlights pass over my dash one at a time. Light, then dark, then the light grows again and then wooosh. Gone. It's like those movies you see with people driving around for no reason at night and you see their face illuminated in that on again off again pattern. Anyways, that's kinda where I am right now. Everything slowed down and feeling kinda weird. But a good weird.
I think I'm ready for bed actually, which is so strange because it's way before my bedtime and I've only been up for maybe 12 hours. Curling up with my favorite sweatshirt and watching something til I drift off is sounding pretty good right now. Probably better that I get to bed early tonight anyways. I feel bad for missing church last week so I should really try and get there tomorrow. Nite guys.

Hats off to the Indy police
So it's been a busy couple of days. I'll try to keep this short.
Yesterday was going fine, work was work, nothing out of the ordinary. Well sometime before 8pm an elderly gentleman in a wheel chair comes into work and so I have LeeAnn go out and take his order. She comes back after a while and says that he doesn't know what he wants and for that matter doesn't seem to know what's really going on. So I leave him alone for a while hoping he'll leave, then I come back up front to see if he's there and he's passed out in his chair. I wished that he was just sleeping and would wake back up on his own but about 10 more minutes go by and we try to wake him up. Can't get him to respond to us so I end up calling 911 and then the paramedics show up. He wakes up right as they are getting there so that was a relief. They look him over and end up telling me that he's fine. Oh did I mention when he woke up he started taking out bottle after bottle of perscriptions and rambling about getting some weed when he got home. Yeah, he was clearly not in his right mind. Anyways the cops show up as well and after about 10 minutes everyone's packed up and left. Yeah that's right, one of the cops made sure to tell me on the way home that I should try and get him a ride home since he lives a few miles away and it's too far for him to wheel there. Duh, like I'm gonna just send him on his way. That's the part that really pissed me off. The police and paramedics just totally dumped off this guy on me. For all I know he could have been crazy and gone all nuts on me (oh did I mention it was me and 3 other girls all younger than I am.) He could have had a weapon, there were a million things that were not right about that situation. I freaking pay taxes and the one time I actually need some help I get crap. They just took off like nothing was wrong and left me to deal with it all. Finally I get a number from the guy and about 40 minutes later his ride shows up. I got out of there a little after 10, the latest I've ever had to be there the whole 2+ years I've worked there. It was stupid, thinking about it now still makes me mad. Hats off to the Indy Metro Police and Fire for a job well (sarcasm here) done. GEEEEZ.
Anyways after that I had to go to Amanda's and help her with her math homework. I didn't get down there til almost 11 and then we got started. It was a test online and you could only miss 6 problems or it would kick you off and make you start all over again, with different problems of course. Anyways, after a few breaks and two tries, we finally got it done about 3am. So I dragged my tired ass home and went to bed. Hence last night's post.
So as I was going to bed last night I noticed some bumps on my arms. They kinda itched but I was so tired I didn't really think anything of it. Woke up today and they itched really bad and I noticed some on my hands as well. At work it was all I could do not to freak out and they started getting really red and gross. Ened up at the emergency care place after work because Amanda was afraid it was something contagious and I was pretty sure it was just some freak bug bites. Anyways, apparently I have allergic dermatitis which is a fancy way of saying my skin came in contact with something it didn't like and freaked out. Not sure what it was, but doesn't matter. So now I get to be on steroids for the next two weeks and walk around with a bottle of calamine. Yay.
Well since my skin hates me I had to miss the live airing of Atlantis but I did manage to make it to Amanda's by the time it aired again so I did still get to see it. Thank goodness cause after the last few days I needed something to go right! Manda bought me and her some dinner (she came with me to the doctor's) and then we crashed and watched the show. I had a thickburger, so yummy. And a Kit Kat, had to get a chocolate fix. Anyways, since I've been taking over her tv every Friday she's been watching Atlantis with me and I think I've got her hooked! She said we need to take a day off so she can see all the other 3 seasons that came before this one. How awesome would that be!!! That's the great thing about this show. Even though she's not really big on the sci fi part there's still plenty of action and drama and hott guys and guns and all that good stuff that she's totally into it. Buhwahaha, I'm totally sucking her into it with me.
So that was a good end to this week which after tomorrow night will finally be over. Hopefully my bedding is done now. Had to wash it because I was afraid whatever was making my skin angry got rubbed all over it and now I'm just waiting for the dyer to beep so I can make my bed and get to sleep. Love the feeling of climbing into bed with clean sheets. Delicious.

Gateworld, you make my head hurt
Whew! What a long day. Long but good so that's something. Of course didn't fall asleep til much later than I should have last night, dragging my ass around at work all day. We got busy with these stupid wrap platters. (just fyi, they are a mess and a pain to make.) Anyways Patsy and I were trying to work on them and Juan just kept coming over and messing with them and saying that we were doing it all wrong. Which of course we weren't but he's a guy so anything we did today wasn't right. Finally got those done, Poor Patsy was about ready to throw Juan to the curb, he can be a jerk when he wants. Whatever, we got slammed and I'm running around just trying to do whatever I can. Go to grab a piece of foil and slice my thumb open pretty good on the cutting edge of the foil box. So while the line gets longer I'm in the back trying to get it to stop bleeding long enough to get something on it and wrap it up. Even as I'm typing it still kinda hurts. So weird, I've never really hurt myself at work before and of all the things there to cut myself on (knives, slicers, ect.) the foil's the thing that gets me.
Got home from work and was too tired to take a shower. Sat around, at my sandwhich and messed with my myspace page with looks much better now than it did before. I was in the process of adding some friends from the Dgeek forum and didnt' want them to think my page was terrible. Silly I know but still. Forumed a little then went to choir practice. Realized that it's very hard to practice with no rythm section, ie bass and drums. So that was....interesting. Waited around for Wendy to get done with her study upstairs and talked to Amy Elam. She's pregant again, talked to her about that for a while. Love the Elams, had Maddie in Cubbies for a while, Ryan was the athletic director for Bethesda when I was there. I still remember the one time I had in school suspension in his office and he talked to me the whole time I was in there. The principal even came in and told him not to be nice to me because I was being punished haha. Good times. Anyways, then Wendy came down and we went to Starbucks and while standing in line realized neither one of us had eaten dinner. So we grabbed some coffee and then some fast food and then headed over to her apartment. I'd never seen it before so that was really fun. Talked for a while, I felt really bad cause I haven't talked to her in such a long time and she's a great person. We have a lot in common and she's always been wonderful to me. Hopefully we'll start hanging out more it's just hard when I only see her for a few minutes every week.
Headed for home since she was getting up at 6 (ew I know) and I was feeling sleepy while waiting for that latte to kick in. I've been on this computer for far longer than I'd like to admit exploring the MASSIVE forum of Gateworld. Uh, my head is still reeling. I've posted on there like once before but today I really tired to get more invested and really liked it so far. There's a lot of fantastic discussion and it's nice to know that so many people think the same thing you do. Seriously some of that stuff was like straight from my head. Scary....but nice. Us nerds gotta stick together. I did a lot more reading than posting but I think that's probably the best way to approach it. Don't want to say something dumb or offend someone. Plus I have a bunch of new lingo to learn. Thankfully Dgeek and Sci Fi have helped me learn a lot of it but now I'm playing with the big guns. So many threads and words like thunk and whump and slash. Thank goodness for all those help threads and the newbie guide or I would have no clue what was going on. Glad I didn't try and start off with Gateworld, that would have been insanity. I had no idea stuff like this exsisted out there. Of course, there's a lot to be found on the internet but still. I think I'm getting a headache from talking about it.
Well I think I should end with this exciting news - Atlantis will have another season!!!! Woot! There was much celebrating on all the forums today, so let the party continue. It's such a relief to finally know what's going to happen and that I have tons more SGA to look forward too. I'll have plenty to talk about with all my friends who live in my computer for a long time. Nitey nite!

The principal even came in and told him not to be nice to me because I was being punished haha. Good times. Anyways, then Wendy came down and we went to Starbucks and while standing in line realized neither one of us had eaten dinner. So we grabbed some coffee and then some fast food and then headed over to her apartment. I'd never seen it before so that was really fun. Talked for a while, I felt really bad cause I haven't talked to her in such a long time and she's a great person. We have a lot in common and she's always been wonderful to me. Hopefully we'll start hanging out more it's just hard when I only see her for a few minutes every week.
Headed for home since she was getting up at 6 (ew I know) and I was feeling sleepy while waiting for that latte to kick in. I've been on this computer for far longer than I'd like to admit exploring the MASSIVE forum of Gateworld. Uh, my head is still reeling. I've posted on there like once before but today I really tired to get more invested and really liked it so far. There's a lot of fantastic discussion and it's nice to know that so many people think the same thing you do. Seriously some of that stuff was like straight from my head. Scary....but nice. Us nerds gotta stick together. I did a lot more reading than posting but I think that's probably the best way to approach it. Don't want to say something dumb or offend someone. Plus I have a bunch of new lingo to learn. Thankfully Dgeek and Sci Fi have helped me learn a lot of it but now I'm playing with the big guns. So many threads and words like thunk and whump and slash. Thank goodness for all those help threads and the newbie guide or I would have no clue what was going on. Glad I didn't try and start off with Gateworld, that would have been insanity. I had no idea stuff like this exsisted out there. Of course, there's a lot to be found on the internet but still. I think I'm getting a headache from talking about it.
Well I think I should end with this exciting news - Atlantis will have another season!!!! Woot! There was much celebrating on all the forums today, so let the party continue. It's such a relief to finally know what's going to happen and that I have tons more SGA to look forward too. I'll have plenty to talk about with all my friends who live in my computer for a long time. Nitey nite!
