Hm..a book. As of thi smoment I'm going with Jellicoe Road, because it's the last book I read. I'll think for the rest of today if I want to put up a different one.

Okay, a fic to discuss. Before I actually knew what it was going to be about I thought I would enjoy this fic, because I thought it'd have adorable young Shawn, or angsty Henry/Shawn fatherson stuff. I definitely should have paid more attention.

Seriously? Dude, I get being embarrassed to be caught, but seriously? What is wrong with the author? And what is wrong with whatever dictionary Shawn read?

And this is not an example of most psychfic, which is generally normal. except for that whole group of people who go beyond whump and into torture, for many thousands of words, and end up making these series. i hate these series because you'll find something with a decent summary, go to it, start reading, and figure out it's in the same universe as the torture fic, and therefore destined to be terrible. bah.

HEllo, ridiculously awesome picture. i was bored this morning and googleimage searched something to do with tattoos, and stumbled across this.

so i have these ingredients. i could make a really awesome meal. i just keep putting it off. on the plus side though, is that i am getting my kitchen freakishly organized. to the point where today i have everything pulled out of these cabinets that haven't been rearranged in years. hey, i have a waffle iron! who knew?
i mean yeah, there's still tupperware all over my kitchen floor. but that's only because im washing everything before putting it back,away. and throwing out crappy stuff. and thi sis just for the cabinets that housed pots/pans/storage containers/serving wear/platters/dishes (to hold food, not for personal eating use)/and other misc crap that was in there. i also tackled the closet that houses my washer machine. well, sort of started to tackle would be more accurate. i cleaned off the shelves and am putting things back on them in an organized fashion. the floor is still covered in a foot of crap. literally. i dont actually remember what the floor in there looks like.
so it looks like i'll be cleaning my house. my mom is away (St. Maarten, for someone's birthday celebration) for a week. i think that'll be a nice surprise, having the house super cleaned. i mean, mostly it will mean that all of her misc crap will be put in her room, which is sort of the de facto storage room. (i keep spelling it storange accidentally).
so basically i'll do a room/day. except for today and tomorrow, because the kitchen has a ridiculous amount to do and the middle room has a lot less than the others. this cleaning will include absurd chores, like reorganizing bookcases (and cabinets, obviously) and possibly even cleaning the floors.
i dont really know why im doing this, but it'd be good for my mom to come back to a nice clean house.

but anyway, really tired. i woke up a little past 7 this morning. went to sleep somewhere between 7:30 and 9:00 last night. not really sure when.

yeah, so. joe. he's gotten into the habit of showing up at my house to hang out. it's been decent, i guess. i mean, actually i usually dont really want him to be there at first, because im usually not showered yet or something, but it gets less annoying over time. yeah, so last night he called and wanted to hang out. i was sleepy (because yesterday i woke up at 3am to help my mom get ready for her trip) but said he could come hang out. and we just sort of sat around on a couch and chatted, and then i ended up falling asleep during a lull in the conversation. he woke me up once, and ithink he had been dozing too. and i have a vague sort of memory of him leaving, but yeah. so apparently i find him very tolerable when im asleep. :)

and tonight is a full moon (im not sure it is, but i dont really care about accuracy) and i am going to the park behind my house and swinging. i dont even care if it's raining or not. swinging under a full moon is cool, and i can cross is off my lifelist. so i think i need to take a nap, so i can be awake later and do things.



also, i have bells on my socks! they make little tinkling sounds as i move. it makes me smile. :D

A song! (or, more than one song!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otMB3WVQNVg

I had so many songs to choose from. I went with this because I like the piano at the beginning. And I have a secret love for Avril. :D

so I was bored last week, and came up with a list of things I need to do or accomplish.

See Northern Lights, Grand Canyon

Bowl above a 200

Knit a: sweater, hat, pair of socks, project for Marc, animal for Jordann, bird/scarf for Melissa, something for Jane, scarf for Ali G

Go on a proper date with a girl

Leave my phone number for a waiter/waitress

Play strip poker

Send to Postsecret

Write a oneshot for Buffy, Grey's Anatomy, Psych, Xmen:evo, Crossing Jordan

Karaoke in public

Take a pregnancy test (either in anticipation or complete terror)

Get another tattoo

Donate blood at least once a year


Remember that some of these come as a byproduct of having been friends with my Sayville friends for as long as I have (i.e. strip poker).

I BLAME YOU, KATE, FOR NOT SLEEPING LAST NIGHT. It's all your fault. See, I picked up a book at the library, and that was your fault. Last night my mom had friends over so I couldn't sleep downstairs on the couch like I've grown accustomed to, and somehow in a way i haven't figured out that's your fault. so, i had to go upstairs. and then i was going to read a little bit of a book and go to sleep. instead, i started reading and did not stop, and that's YOUR FAULT.

PS - Jellicoe Road is confoundingly amazing.

I'm totally bored. On a library computer you can't use facebook or fanficnet, and yes i've complained about this before but still, bored.

still reading psych fic. haven't really been knitting lately. i guess im sort of bored with the project. also i don't love finishing things.

on the plus side, i found some of my sister's old sweaters in a closet somewhere. one fits, and the other is the same size but i couldn't figure out why it didn't fit. eventually i realized that it had shrunk. that shows how often i wear sweaters.
and i found this coat i got in middle school. its like this shiny black bomber jacket. horrible description, but accurate. it fits! andit's warm. and soft.

i am currently going through all of my untagged links on delicious either fixing or deleting them. it's fun! (and there is such crappy fic i've found saved on here.)

i am very very tired. except not. im sort of tired mentally and perfectly relaxed physically. i think.
i had tried to get back ona normal sleep schedule. im going to find out tonight/tomorrow if it worked.
i have a toothache, and im praying and hoping and knocking on wood that it is not a wisdom tooth needing to come out.
bah.
psychfic is wonderful. except that a lot of fics haven't been updated in years. mostly it seems since 2007. maybe the site was down for awhile?
every time im on the computer, i look around the room and see the three cats sort of surrounding me. one is behind me, asleep in a box. there's another asleep on the couch and the third is either on the couch as well or on my lap. it makes me feel loved. :)
im at the library now, so i can't go on fanficnet or facebook. i suppose i will go back on psychfic :). i am so completely obsessed with the fandom right now. i am looking forward to the fall finale on friday!

also, i didn't think it could happen, but i think im sick on knitting. when i was chilling on the couch watching tv last night, wrapped up in blankets (about to sleep from about 7 pm to midnight, in part of my sleeping reorientation), i had no desire to knit, no matter how much i should be because brian's birthday is november 15 and i should have his scarf finished by then. oh well.

Bobby tells Rogue that Pyro is dead, so she runs away but his ghost is following her until she's in the danger room and she dies in an explosion, then Pyro looks at their two graves and meets up with her in the afterworld. R&R please [Oneshot]

The is the scarf: PArt 1. It has a piece with colorwork attached to a ribbed backing.


This is just a cool bit of fair isle knitting.


Harry Potter design: (done with duplicate stitch)


The comedy mask (As is the two masks for drama):


A Pokeball and 'VBS' for a club Brian was apart of:



A shot of the back of the scarf:

so i got bored with colors. im now trying to make my journal pretty! im running into troubles, as i haven't changed anything inawhile and dont remember how to do things. but the one i have on now is titled "WIRED" so i figure thats safe for awhile.

oh well, changed it to "Forest Afar".

how does one make their own style, picking colors out for everything and maybe a background pic? i cant figure it out. something to do with squares.


PS - SWEET! figured it out. changes!

PSS - okay, so mostly got it to how i want it. but sort of not. because i had changed how you comment and something else a few changes ago, but now its reset and i cant figure out how to change it again. plus, i sort of want to make something transparent and dont know how. i miss myspace; really, i do. it was easy to make everything exactly as i wanted.

okay so that inserting pictures thing isn't going to happen. uploading? what? idk.
im freakishly awake.
i think i'll stay up. but today is friday, which means i have to be awake to watch psych. and its possible that i'll actually see people, cuase its a day where people typically hang out and stuff.
im kind of disappointed about the pictures. they're cool. im impressed with myself. and once im done im going to be even mor eimpressed.
oh, awkward moment. last time i saw joe, we hung out at my house, which we had never done. anyways, i showed him the bit of scarf i had done and he made a comment about how he'd like ablack scarf and i totally didn't catch that he was hinting he wanted this black scarf. so yeah, then i had a dream he tried to kill me at public swimming pool because igave the scarf the brian, who is also a man, and who i therefore must obviously be married to. (joe was my bit on the side.) oh, dreams.


plus, i wanted to pick an emotion to put with this entry, but all the ones they have listed are so one-dimensional. but i couldn' think of a word on my own.

***was reading an update of a HP fic i like. then checked the author, WHO WRITES PSYCH FIC! then found some excellent stuff. then sort of got in a funny mood and decided to act out scenes as i wished theyd happen, playing both parts. 'twas excellent. if i actually wrote fic id have a dynamite supply of angsty plot of heartwrenching dialogues, replete with dramatic looks of betrayal.



wow, maybe i should go to sleep.


PS:
"If I die, Shawn, I'm going to haunt you, you know that, right?"

"Like Patrick Swayze in Ghost?" Shawn asked.

"Like Kathleen Mackey in Gothika," Gus said.

"That's a little obscure, I would have gone with the creepy girl from The Ring, personally," Shawn said. "You'd get more widespread recognition."

"You're the only one here," Gus said. "And you've seen Gothika like eighty times."

"Can you blame me, Gus?" Shawn said. "Halle Berry, wet. Enough said."

"You know that's right," Gus agreed. "But I didn't think Halle Berry was your type."

"Well, it's got Robert Downey Jr., too. I'm an equal opportunity ogle-er," Shawn said.

Today was pretty good. Full of knitting accomplishments, Bones, and other things. I shall post pictures tomorrow of my latest knitting project: the 'intarsia, fair isle, & other various designs that i made myself scarf with ribbed backing that i knit and then sewed together' scarf for Brian. I have to have it done by Nov 15, his birthday. Going to be fantastic. I'm never making anything like it again, because it takes a lot of time and work and actual thinking, which i never really do when knitting, and it's rather thick.

last night i watched Pitch Black, and it was as awesome as I remembered. Go Vin Diesel! I own the sequel, so I'll be rewatching that one sometime soon. Probably, anyways.

wow. it has certainly been awhile.
i've been okay. some good things some bad things. knitting has been good. tiring, annoying, but good. and productive. you all SHOULD LEARN.
my dad has been annoying absent. in that he forgot to tell me my grandmother was in the hospital. i found out when i called his girlfriend to wish her happy birthday.
joe has been annoying. im pretty much done with him, in that being in his company isn't that wonderful, i avoid him most of the time, and i see nothing wonderful that makes me all happy and whatnot. im sort of avoiding 'ending things' permanently because i don't see him that much anyway and maybe he'll just do that on his own.
friends in general have been kind of stinky. as in, i don't really see them often. and as in, two nights ago they invited me to eat lunch at a diner in town for the next day. i got there, they weren't there. i waited a bit (almost 45 minutes, thinking i forgot the time or something) with my book. they never showed and never texted or called to apologize or explain. im pretty much done with that whole situation and want to let it go. but im going to be pissed if it happens again.
im tired a lot. i woke up at a ten this morning, came downstairs and wrapped myself in blankets on my couch (because my house is freezing) and put on a recorded episode of gilmore girls. which then repeated until 3:00 when i actually got up. and im still sleepy. bah.

im going to go run out my remaining hours for the month on pandora.

i went to the pool hall with some friends. last time it was a blast. this time, not so much. the sober people left early, the drunk people were too drunk, and i spent most of the time (when not trying to keep jil from leaving and attempting to walk along a deserted highway to the wendy's a town over) talking to this guy who was a complete stoner back in high school (though he's pretty cool nowadays). the only reason he wasn't fucking wasted was because he was the designated driver. then we headed towards a diner. they were still fucking drunk, except the dd. most disapointedly, nigel was fucking drunk. i've never seen him drunk, and i do have to say, he is somewhat of an asshole drunk. joe was beyond drunk, as well as stoned. kristin was gone. jil was gone. she actually did end up walking down the highway and that's when we had to leave, to go fetch her.

bad fucking night. but on the up side, it makes me kind of glad to get away from my friends for the duration of the ireland trip, which i had been slightly dreading because i've been having an awesome time with my friends.

reading fic helps. and i will be going to sleep soon. wish me luck on the whole trip!

Today's plan of attack:
Wake up (which I already did, but a half an hour later than i was supposed to)
Eat breakfast (cold pizza)
Shower (I will...soon...)
Finish online stuff (check all emails for second time, finish fic i was reading yesterday)
Start the laundry (...maybe...i mean, i still have underwear left, so im good, right?)
Leave the house (it's really hot outside, so i don't like this one)
Walk to haircutting place (a really cheap place near me...im getting my hair cut! not really a change in length besides a trim, but im going to get bangs! i've never done that before! im basing my haircut off of a pic of a young alanis morissette. i shall put it in now, if i can figure out where i saved it:



Anyways, I shall go and sit there, probably for an hour or two, before they cut my hair, because i don't have an appointment. But not to worry! It will probably only cost about $10. yay for cheapness!

if i haven't passed out from the heat, i'll probably go around town too. if it gets too hot i'll take refuge in the library.

EDIT:
So, I cut my hair yesterday. That's about it. Read Star Wars fic and knit. Here's me:
acutally, no picture. because i forgot about getting it before tand this was just sitting open in a tab. im off to hopefully actually go do something instead of reading fic all day.

Yay!

(It was on again this morning so I caught the end of it. It's such quality.)

i was diagnosed with strep throat a week ago, and started taking amoxicillin. yesterday i woke up with a non-itchy (but very unsightly) rash. that reaction to the medication means that i have mono. i am annoyed, not only that i have this red dotty rash covering most of my body, but also that i have mono. it sucks more than usual because im supposed to spend ten days running about ireland, which i may have to replan so my spleen doesn't burst. woohoo.

(oh, and joe and i hung out the other night. noticeably awkward at first, stayed awkward for me, because he was acting as if we just hadn't seen each other in awhile. he went to kiss me and i stopped him, because im still sick. thank goodness i did or i might have given him mono, which isn't very nice.)
