I know I haven't updated in, like, forever. OK, not forever, but damn. It's not like this year has been that boring, I just really haven't felt like typing up my everyday thoughts and occurences and I can't give a reason as to why, I just haven't.
Too lazy. That's what it is. I know.
Unfortunately, I have to go to the stupid dentist right now. I have a couple cavities. Hurrah. So I can't type up my year yet. But I hope I'm still in the mood to do so when I return. I think I'll have to go through the months and think about what I did and make a list as to what I want to comment on.
Cuz like anyone cares. But it's for me. It's for the sole purpose of looking back and see what I've written and be all "Ooh, I remember that!" I've done that already with my entries from last year and even earlier this year. It's fun. So that's why I need to get my butt moving and type up what's happened before anything else happens.
So that gives me about a week and 2 days :)

I'm not gonna type every detail... I hate typing. But OMG. I am STILL on such a high from the Fall Out Boy, All-American Rejects, Hawthorne Heights, From First to Last and October Fall concert I went to on Friday with E. OMG OMG OMG. It was incredible.
Granted, it was definitely a difference to every other concert I've been going to since we were in seats. At exactly the same time E and I said "I haven't been in seats since Backstreet Boys!" LOL Ah, back in the day. We were also on the side of the stage, so we mostly saw their back ends if they were jumping around, but that wasn't too bad. My pictures came out so-so (my FFTL one didn't even come out, though). I think we needed to be a little closer. My pictures from the Jack's Mannequin concert (which I went with my brother about a month ago... oh look, the last time I posted...) came out better probably because we were on the floor and closer.
But I'm not complaining. It was still so great.
Next up on my list: X-Men 3: The Last Stand, which had (hopefully) better not me the LAST in the series! I went to Virginia with my sister last weekend for my cousin's first communion and she told me on the plane about a guy she knows who told her he was friends with the guy who plays Angel! Like, HOLY SHIT!
And we're definitely going to Florida this summer, and E may come!!! I hope she does!!! It'll be the most kick ass summer ever!
Now I just gotta find more concerts to go to :-D

Ohh, I can't wait! Actually for 2 reasons.
One is, like, OMG! Monday, freaking MONDAY I'm seeing Jack's Mannequin!!! Ahhhhh!!!!! I'm seeing my Andrew! Cannot believe it myself. I'm OK now but I know either Sunday night or Monday morning at work I'll be flipping out. I've been listening to my iPod at work and every time a JM song would come on I couldn't help but smile. Still have my orange band on for him; I will never take this off. Not sure what I want to wear but quite possibly my JM tee and my SoCo hoodie. I'm hoping it's not too cold because I don't want to bring a jacket.
Second reason isn't as big, but my b-day is coming up in 2 weeks. I asked for Harvest Moon: Magical Melody for Gamecube... so now my brother goes "Don't you want Kingdom Hearts 2?"
Oh..... yeah....
So I tell this to mom and she goes "Well I guess you'll have to wait to see what you get."
Huh??? Noooo! I reeeeally want Harvest Moon, like, NOW! Argh.
I also want The Chronicles of Narnia movie. I think that's about it. MCR's cd/dvd is out but I think I'm gonna go get that tomorrow. I'm getting kitty shampoo tomorrow for my girls because they both seem to be scratching a lot and there's this shampoo that's supposed to help that. Hey, I'll try anything. I've brought Jasmine to the vet a couple years ago because her scratching was so bad they had to give her a shot of cortisone. I don't really wanna have to do that.
So Sunday's bath day!
And Monday's Andrew day!!!

P.S. Forgot to mention. My brother ate a cat treat on Saturday. That's right. I dared him. I found it in my pocket at work (I had shaken the bottle the night before and a couple bounced out. I hadn't realized one fell in my pocket) It was crab flavored tarter control. His thoughts? It didn't taste like crab... but it definitely helps to control tarter! It was hard! LOL

Been a while, eh?
I'm sitting here watching "24" which I taped from last week. Tony is freaking dead. I cannot believe it. They're killing practically everyone off. I really don't think it's looking good for Jack. I mean it's in it's 5th season, right? Chloe better live, too. Her and Jack are the only 2 left who I still like.
My brother and father are out at the shooting range and my mother is upstairs still in bed after being sick all night. I hope she's feeling better. But I'm just scared, because if this is a virus, I don't want it for 2 reasons: 1 being who would want to get sick like that? and 2 being next Monday is the Jack's Mannequin concert, and I don't want ANYTHING to go wrong. Nothing. I would just be depressed, and not only for that day, but I guarantee for at LEAST a month after. Nothing would cheer me up. Not even my birthday. So I'm praying I don't catch this, or if for some reason I have to, I hope I get it early this week so it's gone by the weekend. I'll compromise if it does.

Jasmine's next to me as usual. Willow jumped up next to us but I guess she decided she wanted her chair, so she's across the room on her chair. I got chicken cooking, debating whether I want it on a sandwich or just with BBQ sauce. Exciting day, no?
Oh, Willow heard the birds outside. She had to get up to go to the window.

Ah, to be a cat.

Been watching the Olympics. I don't watch every event; I mostly like the figure skating, speed skating, short track, snowboarding and alpine skiing, though I have caught some of the others. My heartthrob at the moment, though, is Apolo Ohno. Good God. I'm so praying he wins the 500m, his last race (not counting the relay) but there's this Korean kid who is completely invincible.
I'm not kidding.

Anyway, I made avatars.

Click

I thought I had more to say... ah well.
Too much Ohno on the brain ;)

Shaun won the gold!!!
Woo hooooo!!!!!
Oh so happy!!!
WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL 7PM TO WATCH THE TOURNY!?!?!

And it's still snowing. About 45 minutes ago we measured our table and it was at 12 1/2". Still going. I took pics. I'll put them up later but I have blue/black dye in my hair that looks navy (wish my hair would turn out navy) and I don't wanna move around too much. Heh.

Oh Shaun... weeeeee!

E and I were searching for concerts to go to.
'Course, like, everyone has either just had a tour and are on break or they're over in the bloody UK.
Ah, but not AAR or FOB. No they love us. They just had tours at the end of last year, both of which I went to with T, and they are back for more because they can't get enough of us.
The most grandest thing this time is that they are so close to my home. I mean freaking around the corner practically. No trains. No taxis. No walking forever in the windy streets of NYC. Nope. Hurrah hurrah.
Though it was not an easy task, nor a calm anxiety free one at that either, getting these tickets. No. They were sold out. Stupid stupid Ticketmaster needs to learn to put up a "Sold Out" sign on the website next to Sold Out shows. Not have you get all excited by having you click the "Buy Tickets" button, fill in info, click search and then pop up a stupid "We haven't found any tickets that fulfill your criteria"... or whatever the hell it said.
So I bid. I bid on them on eBay. I was so sure I was gonna get outbid. The auction wasn't ending until 1 am in the morning. I wasn't going to know until I woke up.
The oddest thing in the entire world was that I dreamt the entire thing: winning the tickets, telling everyone, telling my cousin, going to the concert, hanging around outside before the concert, getting in... was it a premonition?
When I finally woke up this morning, I went downstairs, opened my iBook, and with my heart beating so hard and loud opened my eBay page, all the while saying "Oh my God, did I get them? No, no I didn't. Calm yourself down, Ra, don't get your hopes up."

You have won this item.

Oh my God!!! I had to pinch myself, literally, because I thought it was still my dream. I had butterflies until I got to work and then right before I went to call E. I was trying to be sooo calm over the phone and not blurt it out as soon as she picked up the receiver.
She was so excited. I am so happy. Because she had such bad luck with concerts last year, poor thing, and she really wanted to go to a concert just the two of us. So here are the two bands I saw with T last year that E missed and now she gets a second chance. Awesome.
And I get to see AAR for the 4th time, FOB for the third... heh. But then there's Hawthorne Heights and From First to Last. Cool! I was dancing sporadically so much today, you would've thought I was in a musical, minus the singing, though I was humming Weezer and AAR.
The best thing about this was I know for a fact I am now paying less than what I would've on ticketmaster, with their stupid service charges and such. This was a good bid.

So! So. So yes. So it's not until May, but I can wait. At least we won't be freezing or have stupid coats to carry. E mentioned Bamboozle, which T showed her, but ick. No. I mean, yes, there's a lot of bands whom I love who are going to be there- there always is, even when it was the Skate and Surf Fest. But it's nothing compared to Warped. Sure there's a few stages, but from what I've heard, all the big bands, the bands we would want to see, play on the ONE big stage INSIDE, and guess what? Not everyone can fit inside! And it's 2 days- you need a hotel. Can you imagine trying to get a hotel close enough unless you get one now? No. Nope. No no no. I'd so rather wait until bands come around or they're at Warped, because Warped is the bomb.
Speaking of which, according to Warped 2006, MCS is confirmed for ALL DATES. See? They love us. They've been at Warped for the past 2 or 3 years at least. Love love love. I love them, too. I was thinking today, which I think I've mentioned in surveys or whatever, that I have 6 favorite bands that continue to rotate in the top position: AAR, MCR, MCS, FOB, HIPV and SoCo (actually Andrew in general, so Jack's Mannequin is equivalent to SoCo). I mean, I love so many more bands; Sugarcult, TBS, The Strokes, OK Go, Feable Weiner (ooo, I can't wait for their tour!), etc... but I can't honestly say I've ever said "They're my favorite band!" where as the 6 above, I have. It's hard to chose between the 6. Really hard, even though I have stated for the record that out of all the men in the world (that I know of, of course) I would marry Andrew McMahon. And AAR were my first loves; it was them who brought me into the world of emo and punk. Sure I knew of other bands, but never did they have such an effect on me that I would never go back to where I was before... between full on bubblegum pop like Britney Spears and BSB and plain solid rock like Vertical Horizon. Yes, I still like songs of those genres, I admit, but it has been an age since they last played in my cd player and they will never dominate again.

Not as long as I have my emo.


Oh, P.S. Quote of the day, by papasito:
"They all had to go to wash, and I pounded the hell out of them.
They're holy now."

You have no idea how much this made me laugh. It's corny, you may not even completely get it, but it cracked me up. Thanks for the laugh, poppy.

It's that time again! Weeee!!!

These are obviously rumors because some of these bands have broken up. But I hope most of them are true. I would add one more band, though: MCR. I did not see them last year because of the "incident" and I would love it if they were there again this year. P!ATD, TBS, The Used, MCS and Yellowcard I've seen but of course would love to see again. Simple Plan I have also seen but that was 2 years ago! I NEED to see them again! And I have never seen Finch- I need to see them at some point in my life!
One problem with this rumor, too, is that Armor for Sleep, who would be awesome to see, are confirmed and not listed here, as well as Gatsby's American Dream who I've heard of but not sure if I've heard their songs. I may have to check them out.

August 5th! Let's begin the countdown!

Earl at a kid's party "making" balloon animals: What do you want? A snake, an eel or an earthworm?

I almost died.

Sitting with my girls. Willow finally loves her mama and not just everyone else. It took Greenies. As well as an entire Sunday of just sitting with her. I mean for crying out loud I practically raised her, I feed her, I clean her litter, I give her water and I give her treats and she FINALLY sits with me. I realize I'm always with Jazy, too, but there's enough room for two babies :)
I had to bring Willow poo (good God) to the vet today so they can MAKE SURE this time that she's FINALLY free of worms. I get the results tomorrow.
I'm making a scrapbook of all my kitties past and present. I included my late Frisky's mama who didn't live in our house but she lived at the store, and she gave birth to my boy so it's only natural I include her. I need to buy more decorations and stickers for the pages, though, so they can look purdy.

In other news: my DS is OK. Whew!

"I kid because I love."
If I had a nickle for every time Jeff Corwin (whom I'm watching) said that, I'd have about $10. And that's a lot, considering it's a bloody nickle. He's doing his Arnold Schwartzenager impression. It's a special ep "Extreme Encounters" and he's going to show the smallest ones now. OoOoOh! He's got a Fennec Fox named TEACUP! (because, he said, when she was a baby, she could fit into a teacup) THEY'RE ALL SO CUTE! Freaking chameleons and bats the size of my thumb! And a Brown Mouse Lemur... I WANT ONE! Hahahaha! Willow and Jazy would eat them.
Actually they don't eat bugs (and we do not have small rodents in our house), that I have witnessed anyway. They just like to play with them to death- the bug's death, that is. Unless it's a bloody spider, then I get them away because I don't need it biting them.

I just realized I really do ramble on about nothing.

In the year 2006 I resolve to: Slap stupid people in the head. Get your resolution here

Ah, yes. I really really should, especially at work.

Bought Willow a new collar- a purple one. Looks soo purdy on her. My dad's all:
"Why'd you waste money on another collar? She has one."
Dad, it's $2 and she actually has 3. "So she can have variety."
"She doesn't need variety. Buy her another one when this one breaks."
Who is she, Indiana Kitty? "It's not going to break. We change our clothes."
"That's because they smell."
"Maybe yours do."
Ooooh! That shut him up.
I also bought her one with flowers for the spring :)

Ugh, football is boring. And my dad's passed out so he's not even watching. I mean Eli Manning is hot and all but they don't show him enough..... OK, they just flashed him. Uh, where was I? Oh yeah, they don't show him enough to keep my boredom at a minimum. But there's crap on so I'm not bothering to change it.
Oh, the king has awoken, anyway. ::yawn:: Maybe I should take a nap.
Actually I should be cleaning my room or something because it looks like a bomb went off. I never cleared off my desk before Christmas and now all my presents have no where to go so they're on my floor and I have magazines in piles everywhere and 4 pairs of shoes blocking my way to my closet..... 'tis a mess! But I'm too bored to do something like that because I'm super lazy now. I'd rather sit here, on my ass, with my Boos next to me (ahem, Jasmine, if you didn't know), either surfing the net for more X3 info or making icons or playing Animal Crossing.

So, yes, I will shut up now. Thanks.
Ohhh, yes, they're showing Eli quite a bit at the moment!

Found this cast list. I starred (*) people I hadn't heard was in the new movie.

Wolverine / Logan .... Hugh Jackman
Professor Charles Xavier .... Patrick Stewart
Storm / Ororo Munroe .... Halle Berry
Phoenix / Dr. Jean Grey .... Famke Janssen
Cyclops / Scott Summers .... James Marsden
Rogue / Marie .... Anna Paquin
Iceman / Robert "Bobby" Drake .... Shawn Ashmore
Colossus / Piotr "Peter" Rasputin .... Daniel Cudmore
Shadowcat / Katherine "Kitty" Pryde .... Ellen Page
Beast / Dr. Henry "Hank" McCoy.... Kelsey Grammer
Angel / Warren Worthington III .... Ben Foster
Jubilee / Jubilation Lee ... Kea Wong
Magneto / Eric Magnus Lehnsherr .... Sir Ian McKellen
Mystique / Raven Darkholme .... Rebecca Romijn
Pyro / St.John Allerdyce .... Aaron Stanford
Juggernaut / Cain Marko .... Vinnie Jones
Callisto .... Dania Ramirez
Stacy X / Miranda Leevald .... Omahyra Mota
Multiple Man / Jamie Madrox .... Eric Dane
M / Monet St. Croix .... Mercedes Scelba-Shorte
* Psylocke / Elisabeth "Betsy" Braddock .... Mei Melancon
Dr. Moira MacTaggert .... Olivia Williams
Kavita Rao ... Shohreh Aghdashloo
Warren Worthington, Sr. .... Michael Murphy
Leech .... Cameron Bright
Artie Maddicks .... Bryce Hodgson
Siryn / Theresa Rourke Cassidy .... Shauna Kain
Bolivar Trask .... Bill Duke
* White Queen / Emma Frost .... Ashley Hartman
* Sunfire / Shiro Yoshida .... Ken Leung
*** Dominic Petros / Avalanche .... Richard Boggard

Now, I'm 99% sure that most of these other mutants, including Siryn and Jubilee and M, etc., are just minor. They've listed others in the first 2 movies and they had, like, 30 seconds on screen. But, omg, AVALANCHE??? I mean, imdb doesn't have this guy listed, but he sounds young cuz he was in an ep. of "Summerland" (which I don't watch but I think I know what it's about) and was listed as a kid in Snow Day. So, I'm hoping he's not too young. And I'm hoping this is right. And I'm hoping that they actually show him causing a quake so that I know it's him, y'know???
When I first watched the trailer and the scene where Magneto's talking to the Brotherhood, I thought Pyro was Quicksilver and Phoenix was Scarlett Witch (until I saw their faces better). I was getting soooo excited. I would love it so much if they had Quicksilver. He's my favorite next to Nightcrawler and Pyro. Avalanche I love in "X-Men: Evolution", which is why I'm happy this person who may be portraying him sounds young and not the older, Greek-accented big guy in the comics. Not that the accent wouldn't be hot.....

OK, I've totally totally babbled. Everyone have a good NY's Eve! I'm jumping on Animal Crossing to party with the animals, like I am in life since Jazy and Willow are sitting here right next to me as I watch When Harry Met Sally with me mum. One more hour.......
Will I make it?

Quoted from my 10/14 entry:
"If I could marry anyone, who would it be?
Major toss-up: Patrick Stump or Andrew McMahon. I really and truly can't chose but it's definitely one of them."

OK, I can chose; I'd so be Patrick. I don't know what it is, I just love him so much. I- I just do. 'Nuff said; I do NOT need to babble.

Christmas was fine. I'm glad I got to see my sister. And she brought Gambit, Willow's sister I took care of back in the spring/summer before Lex could come and get her. Jasmine told her off first day and then she was fine. Gambit was scared anyway, but Willow was just NOT happy. Whether she just didn't know who Gambit was and wasn't thrilled about another cat in the house, or could it be that she DID remember Gambit and said "NOOO! SHE HELPED THE OTHERS TORTURE ME! MOMMY SAVE ME! NOOOOOOO!"
Because my baby girl was so picked on. She's still the smallest at only 7 lbs. Gambit looked almost the size of Jazy though not as filled out yet and she says Hazel's bigger.

X-Mas Prezzies:
- 3 Flavors of Cocoa from T (yummy! I've tried the regular and hazelnut so far)
- Loony Tunes cat pj bottoms that say "Paws Off" and socks that say "Be Weird" from E (am i not weird enough :-9 )
- Kitten Calendar, World Map and Borders gift card from Auntie V (plus catnip for the girls which they looooove)
- Best Buy gift card and "Cat Funds" bank from Auntie B and Tony (contained 7 cents! lol)
- money and chocolate from the grandparents (oh yeah, what a girl wants)
- Vans black&white checked slip-ons and (uh, heh heh) Click Five album from Lex (YES, OK? click five. they rock.)
- Mario Kart DS and Fantastic Four from Matt (watched FF that night)
From "Santa":
- L.L. Bean blue fleece slippers (threw my other ones out with the wrapping paper)
- L.L. Bean slate gray fleece snow boots (niiiice)
- "Seinfeld: Seasons 5 & 6" (YESSSSS!!!)
- Lunar: Dragon Song DS (love lunar games)
- Mac OS X Tiger (which i can't use until i get a new cd drive for my ibook :-6 )
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire PS2 game (lex and i played; she was harry then hermione. i was always ron)
- Hottopic gift card (i am so going shopping)

Unfortunately I had a bloody cold. When I went to the doctor's last time, I was blessed by not needing a culture done. Doc looked in my nose and ears and discovered I had a blockage that could have possibly led to an infection. So I got antibiotics and it really did clear up right away!
...
But my mom had a cold, and joy joy happy happy I caught the f***ing thing. It went from sore throat (again) to stuffy nose to cough now it's back to stuffy nose/ sore throat. My poor poor throat. I don't think it's been a normal pink since the beginning of November. ::siiiiiigh::
This all just better clear up real soon, and I don't want ANYTHING ELSE! HERE ME, BODY AND MIND!!?
I mean I've been over my anxiety for a while now, but I bet something could bring it back if something were to pop up unexplained.

My New Years resolutions:
-To not get worked up over small things. If I need to talk about something, talk it out. If I need help with something, ask for help. I think that's what gave me anxiety this year was holding so much in.
- Gain my weight back, which would probably be easy if I'd stop getting sick.
- FINISH A BOOK. So I can then get it published, makes millions, move out of my parent's house, help out my family with their needs and live in a small quaint quiet house with my girls.....
and maybe meet Andrew.

Think they're realistic enough? At least I'm not going on a diet.

I have no idea what's going on with my body anymore. I've apparently lost control.
I'm going to the doctor's tomorrow (hopefully, if I get an appointment) because I've had a sore throat for a week. I already had strep (at least, we think I did from what the test showed even though it wasn't very definite looking). I had post nasal drip at the start so I figured I was just getting a normal cold this time, but it never developed into a stuffy nose and cough; stayed as pnd and my throat has yet to get a break. So I don't freaking know. They're gonna do a culture again, I know it, and I'm gonna gag and make the technician go "Please don't throw up on me" again. Wuss; what an ass. Like how is that supposed to make me feel any better, idiot.
On a related note, Willow also has to go to the doctors, because she spit up a worm. Oh happy day. ::rolls eyes:: ::slaps hand against forehead::

Anywho... yesterday I flipped back and forth between "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers". My two favorite fantasy series, what bliss. If only it was PoA instead of SS. Ah well.
I got my Animal Crossing DS. Ohhhh it's so cute and fun. I have brown flippy hair and green eyes and you can buy glasses so I have a brown pair and a blue pair so far. I hope there's a black pair. Also when you upgrade the store to the max there's a hair salon. I don't think you can get black hair according to ACA, but you can get other funky colors like blonde, WHITE, pink blue, green and orange. But me thinks it may take a while until we get there.

Ugh, enough useless babble...
( Two useless quizzies )

Hurrah for snow! OK, so it's only like an inch at the most but it made everything look pretty. And Willow was going insane when it was still falling this morning. Aw, my baby's first snow fall!
I slept 'til 8:30 this morning. I had woken up at 3:30 to go to the bathroom and then the girls got up at about 5:30 so I fed them but was able to fall back to sleep- thank goodness. But it's been a rare thing for me to do that lately, with my anxiety and all (which is THANKFULLY so close to going away. I have a little cold right now but the only thing my anxiety still does is make me feel a little queer at times- like it's all a dream, but nothing too much) that my mom came into my room when she saw me open my eyes and she felt my forehead. She goes "You feel OK? It's so late, I had to make sure you weren't burning up." My meh.
We decorated our big tree. I think our house is basically done now; our lights are up outside, both trees are up and all other decorations are out. We didn't pull EVERYTHING out this year, but we have enough. Enough for Willow to play with :p We had to put all satin balls at the bottom of the tree because she was eying my every move. How much you want to bet she's going to eat the wrapping paper off the presents. Four cats. She's the freaking fourth cat we've had and she's got to be the problem child. Soooo lucky she's cute.

( I'm copying Tierney :) )

We're putting a fire in the fireplace and watching "White Christmas", trying to get in the mood for the holiday season.

I feel like crap otherwise; got my "friend" today. Thank goodness it waited until after E's confirmation. I didn't eat much earlier though I do kinda feel hungry again. I just want my weight back; probably only about 5 lbs which I bet would come back fine just as long as I can get my full normal appetite back and this damn anxiety leaves for good. It's getting close, I can feel it, but little things still pop into my head that make it stick around.

Anywho, though. Thanksgiving this Thursday and my sister comes home so maybe doing things with her will get my mind back on track. For the first time since the first movie, I did not see Harry Potter on it's opening night. I'll be waiting for my sister.

I'm doing my Spider-Man research, trying to guess what's gonna be going on in the third movie. At the end of the second, Harry Osbourne discovered his father's Green Goblin secret room. The only thing is they're already having 2 other enemies in this one, so I don't think Harry will be GG2 yet, but maybe by the end of this one to set us up for the fourth.

Sandman, aka William Baker, will be played by Thomas Haden Church, who makes me think of George of the Jungle when I hear his name. It says Norman Osbourne (GG #1) is his cousin, so maybe he'll be introduced through Harry. Powers: Super-Human strength & the ability to convert or part his body into Sand-like substance by mental command...Can increase the density of his body greatly making him greatly invulnerable to physical injury. Can fuse his sand-like body into glass.
Sounds pretty wicked! I can imagine the FX now.
Origin: After escaping prison, "Bill" found refuge in a military nuclear testing site on a beach & was exposed to a reactor's explosion bombarding him with huge amounts of radiation...After awaking, he realized he has changed, and thus is born the Sandman!

I figure with both enemies, their reasons for their powers may be changed. Especially for the next villain-
Venom, aka Eddie Brock, is portrayed by TOPHER GRACE! Now many people are moaning, but I've learned not to judge because I've done that with Harry Potter actors and such and then they turn out wonderful. Plus I just love Topher, so why would I moan.
Powers: He has all the powers of Spider-Man and more since Mr. Brock is far more conditioned and stronger in human form. Can also shoot strands of alien substance in the form of "webbing".
Origin: An alien costume that Spider-Man once wore grafted itself to the nervous system of Eddie Brock, who shares his hatred of Spider-Man with the alien costume & absorbed the powers of Spider-Man during a brief symbiotic relationship.
See? I don't think they're gonna have the whole alien costume thing. He is frightening looking with all the teeth. Imagining what they can do, I may be quite scared. :)

'Course imdb has a Dylan Baker playing Dr. Curt Connors who himself is Lizard, and was listed in S-M2 as well. Interesting.

::sniffle:: Bobby Jon, once again, was voted off of "Survivor" tonight. At least he made the jury this time so I can still see his face every week. I knew he was going- pisses me off. Won't go into details if you don't watch it because I'll end up ranting and going around in circles and just annoying myself more. Let's just say that Stephanie's name is Mud and if she wins the mil, I will... I dunno. I'd like to say I'll never watch "Survivor" again but I know that won't happen. I'll be mortified though. I want either Dani or Rafe. No one else. Lydia's boring and annoying to the extent that she never has her own say in things, Jamie tried to redeem himself this week after being an ass to Bobby Jon but I don't forgive him, Judd's a jerk, Steph's just plain annoying, Gary bugs me and Cindy I have no care for either. Dani or Rafe, pleeeeeease.

So I (probably) have strep. See for a week I've had this annoying raw feeling in my throat, and at first I thought it was acid reflux, but then it was sticking around so I thought it was just dry, but then last night I had a really sour taste in my mouth like you would with acid reflux so I couldn't stand it and saw the doc today. GAGGED like 4 times when the technician IN TRAINING tried to take a culture. He's all "Please don't throw up on me." Dude, I'll let you know- just hurry the hell up, OK? So at first the test showed negative- it's kinda like a pregnancy test where you put the sample on a little area and a green line says no and a pink line says yes. So the doc said it was acid reflux or viral, though it sounded more like the first since the sour mouth, but then he looks down and there's a faint pink line. I said the guy probably didn't get a very good culture since I was gagging and he said that it was probably the reason it took so long to show up. It was still very faint but the antibiotics wouldn't hurt. So if they cure me it was strep, if they don't, back to my acid reducers I got a month ago. But even if it is AR, I would hope it didn't stick around for 10 days while I finish my antibiotics... ::SIGH::

My drama continues.
( Not Converse, but the next best thing )

I was bored... Big shocker there, huh?
( One long ass survey )

At the start of this survey, Jasmine was sitting next to me. Now Willow has replaced her. They love their mama.
I want Christmas now! I just love Christmas time. Our house is decorated, everyone seems a little nicer (most anyway). It'll be Willow's first Christmas and I'm anxious to see how she acts towards the tree. LOL We've never had a problem with any other cat; watch this one be the pest. I mean Jasmine likes the bows on the presents, but that's about it.
Holy crap, check this: 180 calories per seriving of eggnog. A serving size is only 4 fl.oz.
I have about 3 servings in my glass right now- that's 540 cals!
All I need to do is drink the entire half gallon of eggnog and I'll gain weight in no time! LOL
Not to mention get really sick of eggnog.

I'm currently watching "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" with my brother and his friend. My brother actually asked me if I wanted to, cuz he knows I love this movie and I can quote it thru and thru.

I broke my glasses on Halloween. Yeah. Before I even went out, too. But I got a new pair. Unfortunately they didn't have the same ones since I had got them in January, but my new ones are similar, though they have an inner lining of white now. The (cute) guy who adjusted them for me goes "So is this a new prescription?" and I go "No. I broke mine yesterday" (since I got my new ones Tuesday) and he goes "Ah, congratulations."
Thanks :)

Okie dokie, smokie... I thought I had more to say... hmm... oh well.
Bored again!

( MCR/Used Survey )
( SoCo Survey )

( First, thou was bored. )

OK, first of all, Friday:
Magrath came into the store. He's this really tall good looking guy who's nice enough to say "Hi, how are you?" and such unlike some other customers. So he comes in and he's all "You're gonna hate me" and I said "Lost your ticket?" and he goes "It was in the laundry machine. It disintegrated." Luckily, I knew he came in earlier that week so I found his clothes no problem and he was soooo grateful! He goes "What's your name again?" and I said "Sara" and he goes "Sara, thank you so much." And the he kept repeating my name when he would say something, like "Sara, I promise I'll never do that again", "Thank you so much again, Sara" and "Sara, have a nice day."
Whoa, dude. Glad you like my name and all but what was that?! I mean, is that being overly nice... or....???!
He's really not that bad looking.

Ah, but my mind was also on another man that day- PATRICK!
And do you know why?
Because I saw the video for "Dance Dance" and it was the BEST video EVER! Sooo funny! Patrick is just, ::sigh::. He looked so corny when he was the high school kid but up on stage singing, in that striped blazer, and his cute hat, and.... ::drool:: OMG, love him to death. iTunes better get that video up so I can download it. Kapeesh, iTunes? You hear me???

So anywhoser. I carved my pumpkin today. Came out... so-so. It's a cat sitting in a tree but all of my branches were breaking off so the tree looks like crap. At least the cat looks OK. I bought a Halloween collar for Willow but it's gigantic on her, so I cut it and it currently has crazy glue drying on it. Hopefully it'll work so she can wear it tomorrow. Aww!

No, no. Bigger aw, here. Yesterday I got an envelope in the mail from my cousin/godson Hunter (he's 5) which contained some small stickers of dogs, cats and hamsters, and, oh I can't keep it to myself- look what he drew me!

Is that not the cutest? We're guessing it's me and him, but my uncle called today and he said he didn't even know what was in the envelope. He said Hunter wanted to give it to me in person and keeps asking "When are we going to see Sara?"
I feel so loved!!! My godson loves his godmommy! OoOoOh!!!!
