I have arrived at the conclusion that everyone is insane, and that the would would be a better place if we just assumed that of each other, and treated everyone with the gentleness we would treat people who could not help themselves. Now, this is not to say that assholes get a free pass. They should just be as understanding that you could not help keying their big honking SUV as you are understanding that they must park in such a way as to make it impossible for you to get out of the driver side of your own car.

*nods*

Well I'm on the way back to Florida today. I'm happy. I get to see my own cats, and not feel like I'm drowing in Beanie Babies. Brian will be here soon, and he's bringing Rachelle with him. The plan is to stop overnight in Tifton, or somewhere close to the border. I hope we make it in time to watch Metropolis tonight on SciFi.

I finally got a chance to drink some coffee and visit with watcher1. I was begining to wonder if people didn't love me any more. It was plenty of fun. We gossiped and remembered old times> We're getting old that way. He told me about his hundreds of children. (All scorpions) and I reported on my two (hermit crabs). I told him about buzzysleepy's crab who got out of his tank only to be caught at the sliding glass door. The quote was, "Damnit...they have bigger tanks..". I feel better. Less lonely.

I suppose the past two weeks haven't been that terrible. I didn't get to see the people I wanted to see, but I got to go to the Ren Fest, and see Hitch Hikers Guide. I did everything I was supposed to do in the office, finishing the painting (finally!), and moving bookshelves in. I got to reconnect with my best friend from 5th grade to highschool, and beyond. And it wasn't awkward!

I'll still be really happy to be home. Brian is coming on Saturday, and we'll be heading out. The plan is to get a room somewhere near Tifton. I have told Brian that he'd have to knock me out to keep me off a bed. I am so sick of this couch. Couch=evil.

My Mom just called. She is at work at the hospital where she works as a nurse. They apperently have the internet there. She called to ask me to go get a book related to her Harmony Kingdom collection. For those who don't know, Harmony Kingdom are little statues, and boxes that are carved by artists, then copied in limited edition runs.



She wanted me to look up a spacific piece, and tell her the value. It's a crab that is worth 35 dollars generally, but has an alternate run with a hand inside the box that is worth 400 dollars. I told her, and she chortled.

"That's just what I wanted to know!" she said in a thrilled voice. I already know what she is doing. "I'm at work and you can't stop me!"

Oh my God, Mom. hehehe! Like I would seriously try to stop you?

So, I'm in LaGrange again. I made it. There was much rejoicing. Yay. I should be here for two weeks, instead of one, so those of you Georgia folk who wanted to come kidnap me, you have a larger window of time.

The drive up was pleasant. The new truck, which I have dubbed Moe, runs like a dream. Nice, smooth ride.

I have a date with my Mom to see Hitch Hikers Guide. This makes me happy. She's the one who introduced me to Hitch Hikers Guide. I can't think of a better date.

If I am *really* lucky, I'll get to go to the Ren Fest with someone. Hopefully Mom. She has money. ;) Anyone else out there who wants to take me is fine too, but be warned. I can probably get some cash from Mom, but I'm basicly broke. I am, however, a cheap date.

I watched Alien 3 the other day, and now I'm like completely stuck in a Sci Fi Prison mode for role play. I hope I can talk someone into it soon. Mew?

Wow...Made it to Christmas. I should probably post.

Of course, as the topic says above, Felix Saturnalia. I hope that everyone on my friends list, and those who are near and dear to me are doing well. As far as I am concerned, it's been good. :)

It began a couple of days ago. I got to go see Phantom of the Opera with vernard and zorathenne. *Much wiggles!* Of course I adored the company. The movie was lush, and awsome. I have to confess that I've been unable to see a big production of the Phantom for Broadway. It's amazing that I have not. But I have had, and loved the soundtrack for a long time. If you simply *have* to have Micheal Crawford and Sarah Brightman, you may not like this movie. But it really is, IMHO, a great way to bring Phantom to people, like me, who can't shell out 70 bucks to see a musical. Were there things I missed, or would change? Of course..But I think I shall not poison the well of potetial veiwers with such, since even with flaws I was completely happy and charmed.

I spent the night at Vernard's house, who is a gracious master host as always, and the next day was able to do something I haven't done in a long time. I saw my old, dearest, soulmate of a best friend, Scott. I haven't seen this man in several years. Too many really. It was nice. Some people when they are once close, then they drift apart, then they meet again, it's awkward..Not us. We saw each other and just lit up. I'm sure Vernard could attest to that. He took Vernard and I to lunch, and I got to meet his new (to me) family. His beautiful, perfect, gorgious wife, Yuan, and his baby son Collin. Yuan was quiet most of the time, but honestly I was too, as V and Scott got involved talking geek stuff. Eh, who could stop them? Collin was a dream. He's 18 months old, half Korean, half white with some cherokee. He was *golden*. You know how alot of people tan brown? Well this kid was toasty gold. He was also a very happy child, with only minor bits of fussing. Scott was so amusing dealing with Collin. That is Daddy's boy. Scott would pick Collin up, put him on one hip, stand with his feet apart jauntily, and have his hand on his other hip. He just looked like a poster for, "Look what I made!" The time passed all too quickly. I had to hug Scott and let him go. *sniffoo*

Ah well. Then we went around for awhile helping Vincent, Vernard's brother shop. For those that don't know, Vincent is blind. It was interesting going around with him. He's a sharp man, who speaks well on alot of topics. It was kinda fun watching sales clerks have to wake up from stupers and find new ways to explain features to Vincent that ordinarily they would just show.

Came home, and yesterday was reletively uneventful. Today was the big day, and Brian finally came up from Florida for my family dinner. Yay! I, of course, missed him. I just wanted to hug and kiss and squish all over him. But there was always witnesses. We went to Nona's for dinner. It's the big family thing. My Aunt and Uncle, and cousins were there. Cousin Chris brought a date, Cathy, who seems like a nice girl. Cousin David has a wife, Gwen, who's a spicey chick, lemme tell ya. It's really nice. Everyone gets along, and no one gets drunk and stupid. I'm happy to say my family get togethers are drama free.

Racked up decently overall on gifts. I'll list those later.

Tomorrow we head over to see Brian's other bro, and get even *more* food stuffed into us. Should be a good day.

HUGS! FOR ALL! And have a really nice weekend.

So..here I am, back in LaStrange. I've come up to basicly have time to help my Mom in a project concerning taking Santa Claus pictures for the Humane Society. That will be happening this Saturday. So far I'm bored as all fuck, and I miss my hubby. I have to share the computer with my mother, and her chair is, I believe, slightly off kilter so my lower back and hips hurt. Good luck talking her into buying another one. This is one of those moments when I very much wish I was rich. I'd buy her a new chair, and a new microwave. I think the one she has now is working on it's stint as a fire hazard. I may buy her a microwave for Christmas, depending on my budget.

It's boring here. I wish I had a "local" bf, even if just for afew days. I would treat him sweet, and listen to his geek stories. Honest! Speaking of such things, I have a profile on OKcupid.com (banchae for anyone interested) and I got my first "Woo!" A woo is sort of a form message saying another person with an account thinks you are interesting. Hehe..woo! Brian hates them, but I never got wooed befor. Heck I barely check the thing lately. Anyway, this person lives in Orlando and has an interesting profile. I've gotten back to answering all the survey type questions ment to help one come up a mathmatical compatibility profile. Man..You have to answer alot of questions. Some of them are pretty dumb. They are submitted by members as well as the staff. I await to see if my wooer answers my email back to him, asking for more info. He's cute from his pics. Has Native American in him.

This is my last week at Hot Topic. Not because I am disliking it. I'm just going to spend the month at my mother's again. Back to the world of hicks and dialup. I have my spiffy *new* camera now though, and I can show more of this world. *muahhahaha* *cough*. Yeah. I actually will miss HT, and may return, but I do need to go do this job for my Mom. It's something to put on a resume. What is it? Why, I'm going to go take Santa Pictures with pets for the Humane Society in LaGrange.

Local Folks! This means if we want to have some sort of Christmas get together befor Christmas, it'll have to be this week. Any suggestions?

PS: Behold the Cherry Poptart, for she is teh nifty!

Woo...Long day. I certainly enjoyed my week, but I am glad to be home. My cats mugged all over me, and my little grey princess Bink "talked" to me for about 30 minutes. The trip it's self was uneventful. Befor we left good, we had to stop and pick up my little niece, Jesse to take her over to my bro-in-law's house for visitation. She didn't remember us, and was hesitant at first, but we coaxed her. She was tired too. Such a pretty little girl. She was happy to see her daddy. Well..i thought I would have more to post, but my brain is tired. More later, I suppose.

You're My Little Pony!! Sweet and innocent and
happy, you make people want to spew burrito
chunks. Even a Care Bear could kick your ass.

Considering I usually come up as what ever is most evil, this should either be a complete surprise, or no surprise.

Well I've had my first day in LaGrange. Today was pretty mundane. Spent alot of it sleeping fitfully, trying to catch up on missed sleep from yesterday, and getting harrassed by my Mom's asshat felines. I'm achy. Paul called and let me know he and Kev were going out to a pagan thing. It sounded interesting, and I probably could have invited myself along, but I was tired. Woke with a headache. Maybe now that I don't have to sleep on a folded out couch, I can sleep better.
