Current Ramblings

Less than fifteen minutes and counting, peoples. Are ya'll ready for 2009 to come? Yes, I so said "ya'll."

Anyways, as for me, I could care less, really. It's just another day, in my opinion. I know I should be jumping for joy and trying to come up with my Resolution and crap, but I haven't any other year, so why is this one any different?

I guess I'm being depressed right now. Bringing in the new year alone kind of sucks ass. My mom and step-dad went to bed...My little brother was invited to a party. And I'm here, in my dark room, alone. ~SumBunnyLuvsU was hear earlier because she has spent the past few New Year's with me....But her recent guy (Not boyfriend..just a guy she's clinging to recently) called her and asked her to come to a party with him. So...I was dissed for a guy. Woohoo...Doesn't surprise me, really.

Guess it wouldn't have made any sense to spend time with friends anyway, I gotta work in the morning. Gotta get up at eight. Bossman probably has me working because I'm the only one that wouldn't be out having a gay ole' time getting drunk and being stupid. *shrugs*

Blah, anyways. I'm being depressing, sorry guys. There's about 10 minutes left. Blaah..I shouldn't whine on here. No one wants to read it. Just venting, I guess. Sooo

Five minutes left! Ima just going to wait and post this when my clock hits midnight. So, I'm done for now, guys.

Love you all and I hope you have a safe holiday!

Current Ramblings

Hey! Hey! Notice anything different! I has a kick ass CSS now! Haha, yes, I caved and got one that was premade. `Elandria is the maker of this one. I absolutely loved it.

Soooo, yes! A new look for a new year..Speaking of which, shortly after I post this journal, I'm going to cave and become a Beta because I want to abuse the new layout and convince myself that it is, in fact, a cool thing. Haha...So, yes! Wee!

How was everyone's holiday season? I hope it was awesome and I hope everyone has a good New Year's too. I'll probably update shortly after midnight that night, so you don't gotta read if if you don't want.

Umm...that's it. There were a few extra things with this journal like a handy "Feature" section, but I sort of turned it into a "My Watchers" list. They are in ABC order to play fair.

Because I know I probably screwed something up, I hope to work out any kinks laters...

Anyways, love ya guys!

If you want to skip the rant, there is a special awesome thing towards the bottom. Find the bold and read from there. Or, if you actually like reading what I type, then by all means, enjoy.

Ah, seriously, it doesn't feel like Christmas to me. I've been a total Grinch this year. Course, considering the shittyness I've been dealing with, it's only to be expected...maybe?

My family and I went ahead and exchanged presents tonight. Then, tomorrow, my brother and I will open our remaining few gifties. >.> Even though I told my mom not to get me anything. *sighs*

So far I've gotten an Origami calendar, a new shiny wallet (White with black and pink hearts on it)and The Dark Knight which is pretty nifty, I suppose.

Who knows what else I got. Ooh, we had a Secret Santa at the workplace! Well, not really a Secret Santa because most everyone knew who had whom. O.o I had the boss's mom and the boss had me! >.< Agh! She was damn near impossible to buy for! T-T

Mr. Bossman knows me well. He got me a gift card to Borders.

It came with the cutest damn Reindeer card holder I've ever seen! I sat there and "Awww"ed over it for about ten minutes. Then I carried it around with me at work. It was my little buddy.

Ah, but, yes...I actually, for once, hate the holidays. It's damn depressing, but I'll deal. It's almost over. Just a day and some odd hours left to go. I'll be glad when it's over.

...I haven't even wrapped my friends' presents yet. How sad is that? Luckily we aren't doing any kind of exchange for another few days. I'll probably be lazy and throw them all into a gift bag or something.

Ah, I have to say there is one thing that totally blew me away this year. It was the least expected thing EVER.

I called off work on Tuesday because I was laid up in bed (again) with a migraine. Well, Mom called to check in on me. She was in the office at work and was talking to me on the phone. Well, apparently the mail had just come there because she was looking through it. Suddenly she said "Kyrstin! You have mail!"

I was beyond confused...Who on Earth sends me mail...At Work? So, I told Mom to go ahead and open it for me. It was a Christmas card. With no return address or "From" on it.

"Once in college, a lady gave me money just to help me and that I could not repay. Over the years, from time to time, I have tried to share with others in the same way. The Lord has laid you on my heart this Christmas. You are a very special lady who has impressed me with your courage and ready smile in spite of adversities. Keep that smile no matter what. Remember Jesus loves you and so does a lot of people. God Bless You.

Merry Christmas.
A Friend."

My mom was crying before she finished reading it to me. I was teary-eyed myself. Inside the card, along with various poems, was a hundred dollar bill. I wish so much I had a way to thank this person who did this for me. It must have been a church group or someone church-going because the poems are all related to that subject.

As I said, this was the brightest moment of my Christmas this year. It was the least expected thing and it just blows my mind that someone would readily do that for me..

All that aside, I hope you guys have a nice holiday and if I don't update before then, have a fantastic New Years, as well.

Peace out!

The ending to this year has been pretty..shitty..for me. *sighs*

Well, now, my leg isn't hurting. Which, by far, is the biggest plus right now. Cause, now that my leg isn't hurting, my head is. I've had an intense headache/migraine for the past few days and it will not go away.

I'd kill to have a normal day....*cries*

Mom took me to the doctor and he ordered a CT Scan thingy, but they said it can take up to 72 hours to get the "Ok" to get it done...

Seriously, wtf? 72 hours? I guess it's a good thing it isn't anything serious...

So, yes, I can only hope that next year will be a better year. *crosses fingers*

I'm hoping the rest of my week will be better at least...It better be.

*DayinTynSane is coming over on Friday and staying till Sunday. Friday we're gonna go see me aunt because she's just awesome haha. And, Saturday, we're going to ~Kage-Ichihashi's place so that we can exchange Christmas presents.

Yayness...

So, yeah, my life as of right now...I'm going to go take a nap before work tonight. Maybe I can sleep away this blasted headache.

Well, I've been a little inactive, but within reason, I assure you!

Last Friday (the 5th) I had a biopsy to check for rejection in my heart. I'm extremely happy to inform you that there is still no rejection! That's the good news.

Bad news, I've been laid up in bed for the past few days with a bummed leg. *sighs* If it isn't one thing, it is another.

Anyways, this biopsy is the one where they go through the artery in my neck AND my leg. Well, my neck is fine, but my leg isn't.

The few days after, my leg was fine. I could walk on it and stuff. Well, limp really. Anyways, as the days went on, my leg started getting worse and worse. I developed a HUGE bruise. It was only the size of a baseball at first, but now it covers a great portion of my upper left thigh. I can't even cover it all with my hand, if that tells you anything.

I've been in pain. The past two days were the worst. I couldn't even get out of bed. Mind you, I have a high pain tolerance. Things normally don't bother me too much. Dammit, this stuff made me cry! I was actually crying because of the pain. T-T

So, yeah, I had to call off of work and everything, much to my displeasure. Today, however, was the final straw. I told myself if it wasn't better, I was going to go to the ER and get it checked.

Here is the "theory":

When they went in for the biopsy, some blood and other yuck sorta leaked into my leg. Meaning, my muscles and other soft tissue. So, it is sort of sitting there looking like a hell of a bruise. Until it breaks back up and is absorbed back into my body, "It's going to hurt like fuck." <-Exact words of my doctor..XD

And, he prescribed me with Lorcets for the pain. I've been told by a friend that they may mess with my mind. >.> Hope not, it's messed up enough already. I took one about twenty minutes ago, and so far everything is fine. *shrugs*

Ah, in other news, I almost blew up my car.

My heater hasn't been working. I've been freezing my behind off in this 20 degree weather because of it too. I've told my mom about it a few weeks ago, but we haven't done anything about it until today.

We took it to a local car garage and friend of the family. He took one look at it..."Have you checked the Coolant level?"

Ah...no..Apparently I had like NO Coolant in my car...which is the stuff that keeps it from overheating...and blowing up. X.x Ooops?

Luckily, nothing DID happen and my car is now roasty, toasty and oh, so, snuggly!

So, yeah, that's my update for right now. Hopefully my leg starts feeling better so I can get back to work. The doctor told me I can't work for the next three days. So! That means I only worked four hours this week. That will be about a...$20 paycheck? T-T And so close to Christmas tooooo!

We recently acquired Rockband 2 in my house hold. My younger brother, his friend, and myself were playing it. While setting it up, the conversation happened as followed.

Friend "Oh my God, guys."

Myself "What?"

Friend "There are little bumps on the guitar buttons! I think even blind people can play this!

Myself "Dude...If they are blind, how will they see the screen to play?"

Friend "I can't believe I just said that."

Meanwhile, my brother and I are on his bedroom floor, in tears and hyperventilating.

that tomorrow is Easter?!?!....-fail-

I have no idea why Easter is on my mind, but today everyone knew it was!

Cheerful, happy me, always likes to tell people to have a nice evening, and, if there is a holiday, I'll wish them a happy one.

Today:

Should have been- "Have a nice Thanksgiving!"
Was saying - "Have a happy Easter!"

I got so many "WTF?" stares it wasn't even funny. Well, it actually was, but that is beside the point. And, to be honest, I HAD NO FREAKING CLUE I WAS SAYING IT!

T-T

I'm so totally losing my mind at the age of twenty...But, anyways, it is now an official "inside joke" amongst the employees and over half of the customers.

I realized I was saying "Happy Easter" when a customer gave me a funny look and said "Merry Christmas". I gave him a weird look and then blinked.

"Ohmigosh! I've been saying Easter this whole time haven't I!?" I looked at the other people working with me and all of them were beet red, trying not to laugh, nodding their heads.

I'm such a total idiot..haha

Anyways, funny story aside,

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE! HOPE YOU MAKE A PIG OUT OF YOURSELF!

November 23

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LITTLE BROTHER!

My little (big) brother is fourteen today! I say little (big) brother because even though I'm six years older, he's about six inches taller. T-T

As far as I know, we aren't doing anything special for his birthday. He has a friend over, but that is about it. I let him pick out two video games (one from me and one from Mom) and bought them for him. Nearly $100 bucks...

_{Spoiled little brat}

Haha, I love the twerp.

Um, in other news, I hate the holidays.

Only because I hate the hours that I'm made to work.

I'm not saying this to brag, one of my managers actually is the one to say it, but the other cashiers in the store are complete idiots.

When it comes to reliability with keeping up, least amount of screw ups, AND actually knowing how to fix it if a screw up happens, I'm the only one who can do it.

She said that she was the one that requested me work nights the past few weeks. So, my lack of social life at home is her doing. Not that I had much of one anyways.

Her and the other manager were talking to a customer I was waiting on and both said that if one of them left the office, they wanted me to be the new manager. >.> Not so sure about that.

But, I do know how to do everything. I even know how to cash out the drawers and close out the system. Loretta (woman manager) has me do it for her on occasion, so that she can sit down and do...Nothing.

My schedule the past couple of weeks are all closing shifts. Every. Single. Night. I guess I really shouldn't complain, since I am getting hours, but I would like to at least see my family once in awhile.

The only reason I have today (Sunday) off is because I wrote on the calendar that I wanted to be off today. *sighs*

Um, on a brighter note, I got a super cool gift from a customer! Yes, I am loved! Haha! Nah, seriously. There is this one woman that comes in and I always have great conversations with her. She has the most amazing purses, which is saying something, because my purse is a wallet..haha.

So, anyways, yesterday she came into the store and said, "Look what I got for you!" and handed me one of her purses! She said it was practically brand new, she only used it once or twice.

I tried to refuse it, saying that she didn't have to do that, but she insisted and said she'd be honored if I'd take it. I was taken aback by that. She then said:

"You are such a sweet girl. Most of the time,I see girls your age working at stores and they are completely snobbish. They will not talk to you unless they have to and it is like they go out of their way to avoid you. However, I enjoy my trips to this store because I know that the people in here will talk to you. Especially you.

I've seen you skip going to your break just so that you can help customers find their groceries. I've also seen you take a grocery list and do the shopping for an elderly customer that couldn't move very well. And, you always offer to take the groceries to their car for them, too.

You do not see people like you much anymore. You're a blessing. Therefore, I'd love for you to accept this as a token of my appreciation. You don't have to use it, but please, just take it and when you see it, know that you're amazing."

Needless to say, I was blushing very badly by the time she was finished. And, as soon as I got home, I transferred all of my stuff from my current purse (which consisted of my wallet, a book I'm currently reading, a Sudoku puzzle book [Yes, I carry books with me. I'm a nerd, get over it], my cellphone, a pack of gum, and "girly things").

]]> =AKAcorn Eight (Update!) Tag Added http://AKAcorn.deviantart.com/journal/21590212/ http://AKAcorn.deviantart.com/journal/21590212/ Sat, 22 Nov 2008 17:48:26 PST

Taken from =CletusJackson for kicks and gigglesÂ

LetÂs see what I can pick out of the hat of random today.

1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about themselves on their journal.
3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 (or four) people and post their icons on the same journal.
4. Go to their pages and send them a message saying they have been tagged.
5. No tag-backs

So here we go:

1. I am not entirely picky about food, but I do have dislikes. They areÂVegetables! Not all veggies, though. IÂm just not a fan of things like: Onions, Peppers, Celery, Broccoli, MushroomsÂetc.

2. I want to travel so badly! Agh! I want to go EVERYWHERE! Ireland, Japan, England, Mexico..Everywhere! T-T

3. I used to be extremely anti-social. I had Âfriends,Â but for the longest time I never really cared about them or anyone. And, IÂm incredibly sorry for that.

4. IÂve had two major surgeries in my life (three if you count the fact I was cut open twice for my transplant). I have a lot of scars, too. I probably have about 15-20 scars on just my torso (Chest, stomach, whole back). ThatÂs not including everywhere else.

5. I have a ÂsecretÂ goal. I desperately want to write a book. I donÂt care if itÂs ever published. I just really want to be able to say, ÂI wrote this.Â

6. I take a lot of medication for my heart, which is a given. I take about 20 in the morning and 10 at night. And, I swallow them all at once because taking them one by one is really annoying.

7. I have four Alter Egos! XD Skye, Jest, Fig and Remy! Skye is the perverted writer, Jest is the Sarcastic Emo girl, Fig is the innocent child and Remy is the romantic airhead. *nods* They give me headaches.,

8. I also take insulin shots because of being a diabetic (due to medicine IÂm on). I like to have other people know how to give me a shot in case something where to happen. So, almost all of my friends have given me my shot. Even a few of my little brotherÂs friends. XD The latest friend to give me a shot is his friend, Briar. He was all for sticking ÂBig SisÂ in the arm with a sharp object. >.>

I tagÂYOU, YOU, YOU, and YOU! Nooo, not you! The you beside you! *points* Yes!

:EDIT:
Ah!

I'm finished! *cries tears of joy* It's three in the morning and I am officially finished reading, faving, commenting, thanking on EVERYTHING!

T-T I'm so sorry for the mass faves towards =CletusJackson , *estallidos and ~tramirez89. I went through and faved every writing piece you've posted in the past few months..I just spammed your inboxes with my presence!

Now, the only thing on my "To Do" list is to work on my room tomorrow. Well, later today, let's say. I should sleep. O.o I have to get up at eight. Weeee

___________________________________________________

Wow...It's kind of shocking to get on here one day and have roughly fifty deviations in your inbox and then get on the next day and have over 200!

Forty of which are literature pieces. I need to stop putting them off. *sighs* I'm forcing myself to sit down and do that now. *nods*

Also, I need to go through my "Activity" messages. I have a bunch to sort through. Well, actually, they are sorted. I have little folders set up in my inbox and I just sorted out the favorites. Dragon's Flame and Bear are my two most popular pieces that are faved.

Speaking of which check this out!

Her deviation with the most comments is Dragon's Flame with 80 comments, and it is also her most favourited, with 193 favourites. Her most viewed deviation is Dragon's Flame with 3,039 views.

That's like...totally kick ass in my opinion! I never thought one of my pieces would be that popular.

Anyways, I am off work tomorrow...I brought home boxes that I ~~stole~~borrowed from the store. I'm hoping I can convince myself to sit down and pack some things up..Mainly my books...

I need to clean my room really badly. Things are scattered everywhere. I have good intentions. I start to straighten things up and start to pack things away, but then I find something that I haven't seen in a long time and get TOTALLY sidetracked. More so when I find old papers that I've written and stuff. I'll sit there and read them. HaHa.

So, yes. *cracks knuckles* Wish me luck guys! I'm going to be doing some cleaning here on dA and IRL!

Okay...Guys...I might not have mentioned it before, but I've entered a few things into writing contests here on Deviantart. Just a couple of things, nothing major, I suppose.

I never thought I'd get anywhere. I just wanted to say that I actually did something...

I ACTUALLY WON THIRD PLACE IN ONE!

With this awesome story!

Gah! I'm still in shock!....Is it bad I feel like crying, too? You guys probably think I'm insane or something, but I don't care.

I'll be honest. I've said this before, too. I have no confidence in my work. So, when things like this happens, it makes me feel so amazing!

I feel like I did something right for once..

The past few weeks have been hard (reason why is mentioned in my previous journal). Lately, I don't smile as often as I normally would. My regular customers have noticed this. One guy especially. He's my "Anime Man" as Mom has so fondly dubbed him. He'll stand in my line and talk about anime for the longest time with me.

He came through my line a day or so ago and knew something was wrong. He didn't talk as much to me, nor did he try to pick on me. Right before he left, he motioned for me to lean closer. I did...

"Did you know, that in order for my son to poop, he has to yell Goku's Kamehameha Wave..."

I have to say, I haven't laughed that hard in quite a while. It felt really good.

_______________________

I'm will update tomorrow with a journal explaining some updates about my recent dilemma...If people read my last journal, you'll understand.

But, to ease the minds of some, I finally got medicine....That one pill ran out so I had to by two days worth. Guess how much it was for eight pills? $80 bucks..Yep and I had to pay cash. There went more than half of my paycheck. *sighs*

Mom and I figured it up...It's $2027 for my medicine for a month (rounded) and if you round that down to $2K...That's $24K a year, folks. I'd be in the poor house....

So, yeah, we have an appointment with the medical card people tomorrow morning. Well, today? I guess it depends on how you look at it. It's at 9 A.M. on Oct. 25, 2008. There you go.

So, yes, I'll update later with what info I find out...Until then, giggle at my little story and enjoy yourselves.

Ah, I've been slacking on here. I had to force myself to sit down and actually sort through most of my deviations and comments.

I had roughly two hundred deviations and almost one hundred messages (most of which were journals).

I have it down to 10 deviations and 40 messages now. Most of those are favorites that I need to thank people for. And, unlike what some people do, I personally type out each of my "Thank you"'s instead of simply copying and pasting them.

Things recently have been pretty blah. I haven't been feeling like myself, that is for sure. I'm not entirely sure as to why, however. It just seems like no matter what I do, I can't feel extremely excited or happy about anything.

I am emotionally and mentally exhausted. I have an annoying black cloud hanging over my head and it's draining me of pretty much everything.

I've named it "Stress" because I'm thinking that is probably what it is.

A lot of shit, mainly my medical card, has been going wrong lately and it is just piling up one thing after another.

Remember my biopsy I mentioned? Well, I can't exactly go have one if I don't have insurance because I sure as hell can't afford to pay for one myself.

Yeah, they took my medical card away from me. Which means no biopsies AND no more medicine shipments.

Seriously...I'm a heart transplant patient. Without the medicine, I'm pretty much fucked. I can probably go a few days without it (A week tops), but complications would soon arise.

Sooo, yeah. I went through my medicine. I have three major medications and the rest are all things that I have to take because of those three. Out of those three, I have enough for about two weeks of two. The third one, I'll run out by the end of this week.

Peachy, no? I hope they can sort things out and fast. Otherwise I'm going to have to start searching the couch cushions for some loose change.

AND! Those who watch *DayinTynSane will already know this, but my friend ~GingerKidJo was in a car accident! She's doing all right and so are Court and Bri (two of my other friends). Scrapes and bruises and Katie had a pinched nerve (apparently) in her neck that she had to get medication for.

I'm honestly glad that didn't turn out worse than it did...I don't think I could have handled it. :/

All right...I'm sorta being unoriginal here, but I'm really curious all the same. Another deviant that I watch just posted a journal about this, so that's what got me going.

Ghost stories..*nods* Everyone has heard of them, everyone has told them too, but has anyone really experienced them?

That's what my latest deviation is about..

http://akacorn.deviantart.com/art/Ghost-Stories-100226105

*pokes it* That's the one I'm talking about.

I'd really like to hear other people's stories too. I'm sure not everyone has experienced something, but I'm sure you've heard of someone who has? Maybe? Hopefully? Yes?

Let me know about them! It's almost Halloween! We need some spooky goodness!

Okay, well, I don't have much to say. Then again, I always say that and end up with a story. I promise this won't end up like that.

First things first, I entered a contest a while back. The "Short But Sweet Romantic Tales Contest." Yeah, that one...It's where I entered this number:

*pokes it* Yup, that one..Anyways, voting is up now. *nods* The voting is a bit..different, but it serves its purpose, I guess.

*DayinTynSane also entered...So, if you guys have some spare time, go check out the other entries and maybe vote?

----> [link] <---

Vote there...I'm too tired to worry with codes and stuff..

_____________{(MildBitchMode)}

This Friday, I have a biopsy. I'm not sure what time it will be, but I know I'm in for a long ass day...It's a "Full Cath."

Which means, more or less, that they will not only be inserting the little thing through the right side of my neck, but also through my groin..Yeah..so fun. I can't move for six hours afterwards...*cries* I'm not looking forward to this at all...It..yeah..I don't know..
_____________

All right, that aside...._{(BigBitchyRantMode)}

I'm exhausted..I'm not sure why. It isn't really a physical thing. More like exhausted mentally and emotionally. *nods* My mind won't rest...it has to have soemthing happening every second of the day. Even at night, I'll add...

My dreams are proving it. Like last night? I had a dream I was some 28 year old woman that just found out that she was three months pregnant. O.o...Seriously..WTF?

Oh, and speaking of things along those terms...

The ladies at work are really beginning to bug me...

I'm a twenty year old single girl. I've never had a boyfriend. And, yes, that also means I've never had any sort of sexual relationships, folks. *raises hand* That's me!

....That does not mean I'm missing out and I'm a depressed individual that is desperate and needs hooked up ASAP....

*sighs* I know they are only thinking of my best interest, but I'm not so lonely that I need them to play matchmaker for me. I...am not lonely. I'm extremely happy and content with how my love life is right now, kay? Kay..So..Stop trying to hook me up with your sons, cousins, nephews, neighbors..whatever.

Quote Of The Moment!

----->"If this were a man's world, the Statue of Liberty would be holding a beer instead of a torch and be wearing a mini skirt!"<----

Well, let's see...I haven't updated since my birthday, I guess..*laughs*

Nothing really important happened that day. I did get to go see my older brother though, like planned. However, instead of going out to eat, he had a big cookout to celebrate both of our birthdays. *nods* He's a good cook..haha

He got me the new Special Edition of Nightmare Before Christmas. I was pretty excited. It's now sitting next to my Jack Skellington cookie jar...Yes, I do have a Jack Skellington cookie jar. Any problems with it, keep them to yourself.

Um..Oh, gosh. Wednesday, I wanted to die. We had a big meat sale at the store. It was psycho. It was more mild compared to the one in April, but it was still busy as hell.

We made $33.5K that day. $10.5K was made by yours truly.

I did almost twice as much as the other girls that worked that day. I was a sore little girl when I got home T-T

I was supposed to go to the doctor on Thursday for a biopsy. But, they canceled on us...Bathturds..*sticks out tongue* I have to go on Oct. 17 instead.

Um..Let's see...OH! I GOT TO GO BABYSIT MY LITTLE COUSIN KAYLIN TODAY!

A few of my friends got to see her via webcam. Yeah, I took my laptop with me. Mom was there to help too. She is so precious. *nods repeatedly*

She apparently found me to be a soft pillow..

Well, my chest at least..*snickers* I was sitting in the chair first and started to doze off with her in my arms. So, I got up and then went to lie down on the couch with her. She slept like that for about half an hour before my bladder was a jerk and Mom had to take Kaylin.

And, wanna know how messed in the head I am? She like..drooled on me. Mom was about to say something along the lines of "That's normal for a baby blahblahblah" but I looked up at her and grinned.

"I HAVE BABY SPIT ON MY SHIRT AND IT MAKES ME HAPPY!"

She called me demented and I went back to talking to the baby.

See...

Um..OH! My quote *pokes top of journal* I heard that today. My mom, brother, and I went out to eat for a change. We get to the place and sit down...next thing we know, there is this roaring noise outside..And in walks about two hundred Bikers (we were at a bar/restaurant kind of thing)

O.O They were everywhere! Anyone who knows me, I love motorcycles..so I was like...a giddy giggling girl. It was horrible..My little brother kept kicking me under the table and telling me to shut up. That's when I heard the quote. This guy was standing near me and was talking to a group of his friends...My little brother and I cracked up laughing..Mom didn't hear it at all.

I also was a "bad girl"....the guy that said that. We got our food and he walked over. "Man, I'd love to have a bite of that."

I said it before I could stop myself...

"Sure, but only as long as you take me for a ride."

Now, normally this wouldn't be THAT bad...if you take it like you read it here..But, no. I just had to go and say it in this flirty, (God forbid) "SEXEH" manner...*faceplam*

My mom choked on her food and my little brother just stared at me...The biker guy just stared..and then started cracking up laughing, patting me on the shoulder.

"Ya got a fine daughter there, lady. She's a feisty one. Better keep an eye on her."

Yeah...Needless to say, my little brother wasn't the only one kicking me under the table after that. *hangs head in defeat*

EDIT UPDATE THINGY!

Ima 20 Nows

*snorts* I don't feel any different. Just another day....But, I have to admit, this birthday was/is more enjoyable than most...(It's only just begun)..

Thanks guys

I have absolutely nothing planned for today. My mom is upset that I have today off. She was hoping to get to work with me. Plus, it ruined her devious plans. She was gonna have flowers and balloons delivered to the store for me.

HAHA! But! Little does she know, I've got a devious plan of my own!

I'm getting up early tomorrow to go into town to the flower shop. Ima gonna get me Mommy a flower (or two..or three) and a Thank You card...

Cause, dammit it all, it may be my birthday, but she was the one that birthed me today...She's been through Hell and back because of me and I gotta show her some gratitude, right? I love her to death and I couldn't ask for a better Mom than her..

So, yes, that's my Ultra Super Fantastic Secret Mission...as I've lovingly been caling it.

Later tomorrow evening, we might go visit my older brother and then all go out for a Birthday dinner..My brother's birthday was two days ago (the 13th..he's 28! He's and old man now! hehehehe)....But, who knows...Things change in a blink of an eye sometimes..

_{My birthday is tomorrow (Sept. 15), and I'm not really looking forward to it. But, when do I ever?

I have to say I got pretty much the best birthday present ever the other day...It really made me happy.

Anyways, yeah. I guess I shouldn't be so "bleh" about my birthday, but I just can't help it. *chuckles* Not sure why.

Hmm....Not much else to say. I actually have my birthday off. I thought I'd have to work, but Mr. BossMan was nice...amazingly.

Hm...Guess that's pretty much it. Nothing extremely exciting has happened lately. *laughs* I'll try to let you guys know that I'm not dead...}

Work Story Of The Moment

This lady came into the store the other day. I watched her take out a list from her pocket book and take hold of the nearest shopping cart and go on her way. Some short time later, she came up to me and asked where the popcorn was located. I explained to her and even offered to show her. She declined and went back to her business, as did I. Not much longer after that, she appeared in my line with a shopping cart loaded with various items. I was scanning the stuff while she unloaded. She came to the popcorn.

"This isn't what I wanted! I don't even know what it is!"

I stared in confusion. The box that she was holding read "Butter Lovers" so I didn't see any problem with it. I asked her if she wanted me to put it back for her and she accepted and I put the box off to the side. Later, after I finished her order, I grabbed the box and went to go replace the popcorn. I still couldn't figure out why she didn't know what "Butter Lovers" was.

Upon arriving to the shelf, I started laughing and placed the box in it's spot.

The lady had been reading the side opposite of what I saw.

"Mantequilla Extra"

Obviously she doesn't read Spanish...

All right! So, when and if I ever have a story from work, I shall post it like that. So, you can read it or skip it, your choice.

Work has had me a bit stressed lately because of the recent holiday. Plus, with my sleeping habits getting worse and worse, it's no wonder that I'm getting sick. I wasn't feeling good all day today either. I was in bed until about four in the afternoon. I wasn't asleep the whole time, just lying there and not feeling well enough to move.

This Thursday is my brother's first football game. Yep, he's back into the sport and I couldn't be more happy for him. It's cheering him up, actually. He was having some rough times and now that he has football, it's becoming a bit more tolerable. He's a Fullback...Loves it too.

I got to see my cousin last night. The one that was born a little while ago...She's five weeks old now. It's hard to believe already. I got to hold her. She really is precious. I was humming to myself (I've had the Winnie The Pooh songs stuck in my head the past few days...Thanks to you, *Kage-Ichihashi *sticks out tongue*) and I happened to look down and Kaylin was fast asleep in my arms. That moment really made me happy. Course, a few minutes later, she woke up and wanted her mom, so I reluctantly gave her back to Kelly.

Ah, other than that, nothing much else is happening. When and if I get inspiration, I want to fix up my journal...do something special with it. I have an idea for a Header and Footer, too...but that's saying I can draw it. Wee...

Till next time! Laters!

Today at work...Well, more like closing time...There was a woman who orders nine cases of beer every month. She went to the back of the store and asked Pam, our deli lady, to find someone to help her with all of them.

Meanwhile, I'm up front finishing up with a customer with the help of BJ, a guy that hangs out at the store a lot. The loudspeaker kicks on and Pam says, "We're in need of a man in the deli!"

I got this stupid grin on my face and took off running down the nearest aisle.

Skidding to a halt (right into the meat case) I threw my arms up into the air and shouted, "Here I am! What are your next two wishes?!"

Yeah, I used the saying off of those corny shirts. It was priceless though. And, yes, I realize I'm a girl...That was the whole point in doing it. Two other customers started laughing and clapping. My manager on duty just shook her head and called me a nut case. Pam? "Eh!? What did she say?" ..Poor Pam...she's a tad hard of hearing.

So, yeah, that's my funny story for today. All the customers that witnessed the event told me that it was pretty hilarious. I just grinned and nodded...

I haven't been feeling good. I'm surprised I managed to come up with that quick gag off the top of my poor pounding head. *sighs* Today was pretty horrible..and tomorrow is only gonna get worse. I hate holiday weekends.

It's hot in my room..Then again, that might just be the sickness talking...I was hot all day even though the customers (and fellow employees) were shivering...

Imma go sleep now...night night..

Well, I'm off work today. *chuckles* I work a day then I'm off the next. It's not too bad, actually. Sure, my hours are still being cut, but *shrugs* Oh well..

Um...I actually don't have much to update on, really. This Saturday I'm going to a local mall to a "fair" at the Waldenbooks that's located there (the place I am putting an application in at). It's supposed to be a big deal, I think. There is a bunch of authors and illustrators and stuff there. All local people, no one really big and famous.

The guy I'm really looking forward to meeting (again) is Frank Bittinger. He's an amazing author. I was at the bookstore one day looking for a new book to read and I found one that caught my eye. I got it and here, the author of the book was there that day signing books! XD I got him to autograph mine and we got to talk for a bit.

I doubt he'd remember me this time though.

It's been a little while since then and he meets new people every day, I'd think.

I'm hoping to take *DayinTynSane there as a birthday present of sorts. Her meeting an author...Well, a bunch, really. There's a whole list of people to be there. XD I'm excited.

One thing that I regret recently is that I didn't go to Otakon this year. I wanted to go, but didn't get around to planning it. And..yeah..I regret it. I missed it. *cries* Hopefully next year, right Dayin!?

Yeah, I'll be twenty and I'll tell you now I'm not looking forward to it.

I hate my birthday. Don't know why...Just never really cared to celebrate it. It's just another day to me..

Well, yesterday I was celebrating the birth of my cousin, Kaylin...

Now I'm mourning the passing of my dog, Lacey.

She was a little over twelve years old. My mom and I have been bracing ourselves for this. It's still really freaking depressing..

I can't stop crying...

I heard her barking earlier this morning...Mom got home about an hour ago and she went to go give her water...

And she was gone...I heard my mom scream and I knew what had happened...

_HAPPY

....Not yet...*chuckles*

My aunt..She's in the hospital right now...Getting ready to deliver my newest cousin.

I am so excited...My mom and I are getting ready to leave so we can go down and be there for her.

:EDIT:

Well, she's a beautiful (and I seriously mean beautiful) baby girl! She was born at 11:30 on July 27..*giggles*

We didn't have to wait long once we got to the hospital. I was talking to my little cousin, Derek, (the older brother to the newborn) and he was a little excited...

But when his dad came walking down the hall and did his thumbs-up pose, Derek started to cry...*smiles* It was really touching...

Newborn babies are the most amazing and precious things that I've ever seen...I just couldn't stop staring at her..at Kaylin.

Mom said she can't wait for us (her kids) to have babies...

All I have to say is that I hope I can fulfill her wish..

With all I've been through, I might not be able to have kids (the chemo when I had cancer could have made me sterile and also stress on the heart might not be a good idea).

The thought of not being able to be a "Birth Mother" is extremely sad to me...I know there is always the option to adopt, but it isn't the same thing...It's not as personal..

Anyways, enough mushy gushy stuff...

Tis time to celebrate!.....at 2:00 in the morning....We just got home..*snickers*

_BIRTHDAY!

_Happy

Well, this is a tad on the late side, but...

HAPPY FOUR YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO ME!

Yep, today (July 25) is the anniversary of my heart transplant. So, as I like to say, I'm four years old today!

Well, last night, *DayinTynSane and ~SumBunnyLuvsU stayed over at my house to be here for today. Then, this morning at about 8:30 or so, *Kage-Ichihashi showed up to spend the day. Then, around 10:30 or so, I called ~GingerKidJo and went to pick her up.

We had a fun time goofing off and hanging out today. At around...Eh...6-ish my older brother showed up with his wife and we all went (including my mom and little brother) to T.G.I.Friday's to celebrate.

I ate too much...I feel sick and I have a big headache....and a numb tongue..

I went to the bathroom while there and while I was gone, my older brother took that advantage to go tell the guys' about today and why we were celebrating. They delivered a piece of brownie cake with ice cream and hot fudge all over it....

To anyone else, that would be heaven. I loved it, but it took all I had not to turn my nose up at it...I honestly don't like sweets that much..*sighs*

Anyways, as a sign of good faith, I decided to take a bite...

It was boiling hot. Not the fudge, the fudge was fine...It was the brownie cake...I...Burnt...My...Tongue! It hurt so badly! I had to spit it out into a napkin...My eyes were even watering. My brothers were laughing at me....T-T It was hard to talk afterwards...

And...yeah..That's the excitement of today, really. I loved having all my friends together...It was a big plus on my mood scale.

Weeee....So....Yes! Awesomeness....

Well, I won't be getting my long awaited Wii anytime soon...*le sigh*

My stereo in my car decided that it wanted to die. NOT after being embedded into my dashboard after a head on collision with a drunk....NOT after being in storage for almost a year...NOT after surviving another joust of tire squealing, gut wrenching spinning in the middle of a three lane highway...

NO...It was after my mom decided to take my car and wanted to listen to the radio...

Please, let us have a moment of silence as we try not to laugh at the irony of it all...

*clears throat*

Yeah, I've been wanting a Wii since I saw it introduced on G4 network at E3 (yes, I DO watch that...O.O Gotta problem with it??)

I've been holding back on getting it though. I wanted to pay off my credit card before I even looked into one. But, now since my stereo died, I'll be waiting even longer. *laughs*

I'm getting Sirius Satellite Radio as well..Apparently...~SumBunnyLuvsU had a slight influence in the matter. She wants it as well..So we got a deal on it. Wee?

Hm...Nothing else really has happened. I'm exhausted to the point that I just don't care about a whole lot of things right now. It's sad. People think I'm depressed. I know I'm acting it..I don't mean to..But..yeah..

Oh, also, this Friday is my four year anniversary for my heart transplant, everyone! I'm pretty damn excited about it. It's hard to believe that it's been four years already...

And...yeah..nothing else at the moment. I updated my Stuck In My Head journal for those who are interested..

And...I'm done for now. I'll try to update later. Toodles everyone!

Okie tay! Well, *midnightangel38 featured me in her recent journal. I commented and she featured. Now, in return, I think I might do the same.

It will give me something to do while I'm going through this DeviantArt slump, kay? So, anyone who wants to be featured, gimme a comment and I'll pick out three things(unless there's something special you REALLY want me to show off, then link me to it

).

Be sure to comment, peoples. Also, don't feel obligated to do this in your journal unless you really want to. It's optional. If you want to feature people, go right ahead!

So, without further ado! Here are the features(Which I demand everyone go visit)!

Features! Get Your Features Here! Fresh, Hot Features!

*midnightangel38
_{I'm not entirely sure when I started watching this deviant. I adore her works, however. She's a great traditional artist. Here, have a look for yourself!}

*Neurotically0urs
_{This guy, well, there is a lot I could say about him. But, most of all, I admire him so much as an artist. It was only luck the day that I came across his works and we became close friends soon after. I love his digital works and it still amazes me that he does them only with a mouse(for now, he is just recently investing into a tablet). Sneak peek time?}

*DayinTynSane
_{Those who have watched me for awhile will know that Dayin is a friend of mine IRL. She's been an inspiration to me for years now and she will continue to be so for years to come. Her gallery varies, but most of all, she's a writer. Please, I insist you go check her work out.}

~coffinxofxflesh
_{Joe, Joe, Joe..What can I say about this demented creature? Well, I think I just said it, really. She's an amazing photographer and her edited photos are equally amazing too. Go check her out, you won't be disappointed. Why, yes, that is a picture of me!}

Wow..okay...People who are used to seeing like..fifty journals from me are probably relieved by my inactive nature lately...Others who actually READ my junk might be a bit worried.

Either way, I'm honestly not dead!

Just...Not here? *laughs* I don't know. I haven't had much time for myself to think, I guess. Lately, I've been doing something nearly everyday...Either work or something else comes up on my day off....

Like work... >.>

I hate that. I finally get a day off after working for so many days straight and what happens? I get called in to work! Okay, okay...Yes, it means more money. I'm happy about that...

But I would like to have a life outside of work!

Soo...yeah...Wee Rant...

And, I've honestly been inspired lately. Really! Honestly!

That poll? It is a story idea in the works! I honestly up it turns out too...

That excerpt that I posted?...For those who actually read it...It's a story in the works as well! AND I'M PROUD OF IT!...That's saying something...I'm rarely proud of my works..

Hmmm...I'm also challenging myself, right now...

I'm thinking about entering a contest. I subscribe to a few different magazines, one of them being WRITER'S Journal. It's a wonderful magazine for writers, really it is.

Anyways, they have a contest where they give you the first part of a phrase and you must finish it and make a short story out of it. It can't be more than 1500 words and the one I'm working towards is due by Dec. 30.

My phrase is: "The coffee was gone, but..."

I have two story ideas planned for it. One I like more than the other, so I'm going to work towards it....If I can't get it to work out, I'll have the other one to fall back on. *nods*

I can't say for sure if I'll complete it, but I'm sure as heck going to try!...I'll be sure to post my final product on here...If I finish.

Er..Yeah..Just letting everyone know I'm NOT dead....I'm not sure who really cares, but for those that do, thanks! I appreciate the concern!

I LOVE YOU GUYS!

_Finally

Okay, I'm not going into great detail...

Actually, I'm not going into any detail at all..

Long story short, I came up with a story idea. And, I, for once, think it's a really good idea! I'm impressed with myself!

So, my poll!

Your votes will be what sways me towards what to write first!

And...It's a all a secret for now...

*chuckles*

All I can say is that it's a series that is about..

Stuffed Animals and History

Please vote! And any and all historical suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated!

_THANK

What a wonderful thing to start off the day with!

I got featured once again! Well, my ever popular piece Dragon's Flame was featured by *Cthylla!

I can't be more proud of that picture. *laughs* I never really expected it to reach that high. It was featured Here if you're interested.

It was a Dragon feature. There were some really amazing deviations selected. Make sure to take a look!

Anyways, thank you so much, *Cthylla for the feature. I really appreciate it!

Years ago, I was so good at those dang things. Now, I barely play them. I win occasionally. Today was proof...Even though it was a jerk. *laughs*

I convinced my mom that we needed a girl's day out. To go shopping. *gaspeth* Me? Shopping? What in the hell is wrong with me? And CLOTHES shopping! Blasphemy! I didn't buy a single book! *laughs*

Anyways, outside of one store, one of the machines caught my eye..it had a bear dressed up as a jester. I...Couldn't...Resist...My mom laughed at me. I had one dollar. I really wanted that damn bear. I stood there and stared at it for a good ten minutes before finally deciding on my course of action...

I put the dollar in...moved the crane to exactly where I wanted.....and snagged the sucker! I got it! It was hooked!....The crane pulls it....gets it too the hole..drops it....and the stupid bear gets wedged! *cries* I started laughing. Mom got mad...she gave me five one dollar bills and had me try more...

After spending about four dollars total, I managed to unwedge him by grabbing it's foot and it fell in. I was happy...I waddled around hugging it the rest of the shopping trip...

Ah, anyways...I'm in a bit better mood than earlier today. I think it was that song that really got me depressed. And, if anyone has cared to notice...My "Stuck In My Head" songs revolve around a similar topic...Love. And I'll be honest, I didn't even notice..*laughs*

Annnyways....Today something priceless happened. It was all because I wore a dress...

A cute little sundress. *nods* Not often do I wear dresses...Long flow-y skirt things, sure...Dresses? Hell no...Anyways, for a change..I wore one.

I got so many damn compliments on it and how cute I looked. *shakes head* Anyways, one in particular stood out from all the rest...Here's the basic conversation..

Man - "I like that dress. It looks good on you."
Me - "Thanks, I appreciate that."
Man - "You're welcome. I like to see girls wearing dresses"

Now, here is where I got a bit edgy...Who can blame me?

Me - "Er...Oh.."
Man - "Yeah, you don't see girls who wear dresses anymore. They all wear pants and stuff. It's good to see that things don't completely change, you know?"

I relaxed a bit...

Man - "Yeah, I hold girls who will still wear dresses with high regard. I place them high on a pedestal......So I can look up their skirt."

My eyes got really wide and my mouth fell open. He suddenly started apologizing profusely. I could barely hear him...I was laughing so hard that I ended up crying...It was so freaking priceless. Not many people are openly perverted and that is what shocked me..not his comment in general.

I told him it was okay, but he kept saying he was sorry. I honestly don't get insulted by perverted (or rude) comments. Perverted ones, I'll admire and be impressed by...Rude ones I'll ignore...Like the woman who said that I shouldn't eat such fattening foods (I was eating a freaking rice cake people...wth?)...*sighs*

Moral of the story? People never cease to amaze me....

Eh..that's it for now! *laughs* Toodles!

WAIT! AGH! NO WAY!....I'm almost to 12K pageviews! *faints and dies* Why are you doing this to me people? I go into a perpetual state of shock every time I reach a new thousand mark! (Exaggerating much?)

I forgot to post the answers to the Movie MeMe...Here they be!

Yep, that I am..

I haven't done much of anything lately. I just haven't felt the need to. No, not being lazy..just uninspired, unmotivated, un..everything. *nods*

Just a slump and I have no idea what started it and how to get out of it. I don't even get on dA that much. Just occasionally so that I don't get entirely backed up with deviations and messages.

Eh, anyways, I promise I'm not dead..just..lurking. Later on tonight I'll post a new journal. I need to answer the Movie MeMe and I have a new "Stuck In My Head" entry to post. So, look forward to that, I suppose.

I'm at work right now. I think that is a big reason for my slump. I'm just exhausted. As of right now, I'm already going to have overtime this week. Wee...

I got called in on my day off. I wasn't happy about that. So...now I don't have a day off until Saturday. I can't wait for it to come. I'm at work right now, actually. I'm risking it because Boss Man is still here and if he sees me on the computer he'll probably get mad....Serves him right...Jerk.

*clears throat* Anyways, times a wasting...I have a few other things to do before my lunch is over. Toodles for now!

Stolen from *DayinTynSane and mine isn't nearly as easy as her's...I don't think, anyways. I couldn't think of movies to save my life. I did the first ones that came to mind. There are cartoon mixed into the batch as well, so take heed. That's the only hint I shall give you. Some are old and some are "new" ish. Here we go!

Movie meme
1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.
5. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
6. Those who guess correctly have to do the Meme next!

~~#1: Not funny 'ha-ha', funny queer.~~ (Dayin, Sling Blade)

#2: Okay, I'm - okay, seriously now. It's in the meat of my butt, just below the Hello Kitty tattoo.

~~#3: You can't be black. There's a height requirement.~~ (JeyR-kun, Rush Hour 3)

#4: So, I was seeing this guy and he's a devil worshiper, right? Well, he's a hairdresser really, but he devil-worships on the side. And we booked this dumb tour because, you know, he likes ghosts, dead gerbils, that kind of thing... and he ran off with this Bhuddist monk! I mean, how I was supposed to know he was gay? So what about you, are you gay too? (Dayin, High Spirits)

#5: At the temple, there is a poem called "Loss" carved into the stone. It has three words, but the poet has scratched them out. You cannot read Loss, only feel it.

~~#6: Discipline. That's what fathers believe in. We must spank the children immediately before they try to kill you again. In fact, we should kill them.~~ (Dayin, Peter Pan[New Version])

#7: I'm sorry, my memory isn't what it used to be. I've lost my mind. Ha ha! I've lost my mind! You haven't found it, have you?

~~#8: You'd have thought after all these years, she would've had ------- eat at least one half-way decent carpenter.~~ (Dayin, Rose Red)

#9: High school is a lot like prison: Bad food, high fences; the sex you want, you ain't gettin', the sex you gettin', you don't want. I've seen terrible things.

#10: There has never been a time without unicorns. We live forever! We are as old as the sky, old as the moon! We can be hunted, trapped; we can even be killed if we leave our forests, but we do not *vanish*. Am I truly the last? (Dakt37, The Last Unicorn)

#11: Remember, trust the fungus.

#12: Yea, if I could just have the thing and give it to you now, I totally would. But I'm guessing it looks probably like a sea monkey right now and we should let it get a little cuter.

#13: I don't need to talk about her or look at pictures... 'cause the truth is, a lot of times, I see her... on the street. I walk down the street, I see her in someone else's face... clearer than any of the pictures you carry with you. I get that you're in pain, but you got each other. You got each other! And I'm the one who's gotta see her and the girls all the time. Everywhere I go! I even see the dog. That's how fucked up I still am! I look at a German shepherd, I see our goddamn poodle. All right... All right...

#14: If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?

#15: Please bless Rufus, and Teddy... And all the kids at the orphanage: Jennifer, Bobby, Mary, Julie. And please let someone find my bottle. There's a message in it. Because running away isn't working. Amen.(sash15, The Rescuers)

Can you guess them?

Well, today I went out with Miss Kia (*Kage-Ichihashi) and her family to collect donations for Relay for Life. It was a blast, to say the least. Miss Kia and I were in control of one table and the rest took care of two others.

We were two goofballs with mental problems. Sorry, Miss Kia, but it's true.

Anyways, afterwards, we went to the festival that was taking place today and enjoyed the parade. It was nice. Long, but nice.

And, that's where part of my title comes into play. I got burnt pretty badly on my face and ears. I burn easily. One of the medications I'm on tells me not to be in an exceeding amount of sunlight. I wore sunblock! T-T I think that's why it's bugging me so much.

Anyways, about the second part of me name...

Horoscopes. I read mine every once in awhile. Not that I believe in what will happen, but just to see what they say will happen. They are normally a big laugh. Ya know? If I believed every single one I've read, I will be the richest woman in the world and I would have found my soulmate about fifty times now.

Anyways, I hadn't checked mine in awhile. The other day, I did.

Career: You have a fabulous job offer coming your way. You're luck-linked to P.

..Okay? Thought nothing of it....

Today....While working at the donation table, one of the ladies there with us came over and was talking to me. She offered me a job...The donation was set up by a bank in town. The woman is a cancer survivor like myself. Her name is Patty...

Wait? Patty? Job offer?...*reads horoscope again*

...I'll be damned.

She wanted to know if I'd be interested in working as a teller at the bank. It would be part time at first, but would (more than likely) evolve into a full time job with benefits. Which, is a hell of a lot better than the job I have now.

I still gotta talk it over with my mom...Yeah, I know. I'm almost twenty years old, I should do these things for myself. But, hey, right now I'm helping to support my family. I want to do what's best for them.

_{THANK YOU EVERYONE!}

:EDIT:

GUYS! DRAGON'S FLAME HAS REACHED IT'S 1000TH PAGEVIEW!

I'm at work and decided to sneak on while on my lunch. I got the 1000th pageview of it. Sure, it might not be a big deal, but it is to me.

Don't Judge Me.
_____________________________________________________

Guys, only today did I realize that I've just recently passed my two year anniversary mark here on Deviantart! It's really unbelievable. It doesn't seem like I've been here that long, really it doesn't.

I'm not an all popular Deviant like most others would be after being here for two years, but I have to say I wouldn't pass up the amazing friends that I've made on here.

So, to all my stalk...I mean, watchers..

THANK YOU!

Thank you from the bottom of me transplanted heart.

I wouldn't have the 11K pageviews I have today without you guys. If my math doesn't fail me, I got roughly 5K pageviews each year. That's pretty good from my point of view. I mean, I didn't expect to get many pageviews at all, to be honest. I figured I'd be one of those Deviants that lingered and only had a couple hundred pageviews because people randomly found my page or they were coming to thank me for a favorite.

Anyways, taking a quick peek at me gallery stats....

AKAcorn has 11,296 pageviews total and her 147 deviations were viewed 10,246 times. 68 people STALK her.

Wow...68 people. Damn. Well, in honor of me watchers...

HERE THEY ARE!

Stolen from *Kage-Ichihashi again...I used my "Voices" for it. Long, on-going joke gone story plot with *DayinTynSane They're insane people...That's for sure. Yes, one is named after me. She the ring leader...*laughs*

Voices Style
1 Kyrstin
2 Tobias
3 James
4 Railyn
5 Jaykin
6 Fred
7 Darin
8 Kyna
9 Blondie
10 Sandi
11 Wacko
12 Tia Laree

1) Who would make a better college professor, 6 (Fred) or 11(Wacko)?
HmÂÂFriendlyÂ Fred or Weird WackoÂMore than likely Fred. Fred is actually a really intelligent guy. But, seeing as heÂs gay, people tend to look down on him. HeÂs a natural debater and is the king of Random Trivia. Wacko..wouldnÂt cut it. HeÂs a man who had an imaginary girlfriend named Lily who ran off with some Âevil Bart person.Â

You pickÂ

2) Do you think 2 (Tobias) is hot? How hot?
HmÂTobiasÂHot? Well, sure. HeÂs a very good looking guy. I couldnÂt rate him on a scale though. I donÂt like doing that. And, I mean, the guy can turn into animals. ThatÂs awesome. *laughs* Yes, I do think Tobias is hot. One of my better looking Voices.

3) 12 (Tia Laree) sends 8 (Kyna) on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
GoshÂKnowing Kyna, Tia probably told her a story about some lost artifact and Kyna volunteered to go find such a thing. Even though sheÂs a master Storyteller, she can be a bit gullible. And..Tia is supposed to be the Peacekeeper, but sheÂd still pull the occasional joke every once in awhile.

4) What would be 9Âs (Blondie's) favorite book?
Blondie doesnÂt have ONE favorite book. She has thousands. SheÂs like this super genius, contrary to her nameÂand hair color. SheÂs the smartest out of all the Voices, hands down.

5) Would it make more sense for 2 (Tobias) to swear loyalty to 6 (Fred), or the other way around?
Tobias swear loyalty to Fred? *dies laughing* That will be the day. Tobias is friends with Fred, but thatÂs going too far. Fred would have to swear loyalty to Tobias. Maybe to keep unwelcome visitors from pulverizing him or somethingÂ

6) For some reason, 5 (Jaykin) is looking for a roommate. Should he/she share a studio apartment with 9 (Blondie) or 10 (Sandi)?
Blondie would give him a headache. Jaykin isnÂt the brightest crayon in the box, but he isnÂt stupid. However, Blondie is as bright as they come. So, heÂd probably pick SandiÂBut, then again, no one would let him. TheyÂd say heÂs just being perverted and will take advantage of her. Sandi sleeps...AllÂTheÂTime. ItÂs her ability, I guess youÂd say.

7) 2 (Tobias),7 (Darin), and 12 (Tia Laree) have dinner together. Where do they go, and what to they discuss?
Oh dear, I can only imagine why they are out to dinner. Hopefully, itÂs just friends. Tobias has no romantic interest in Tia. Darin may have a slight crush. Maybe thatÂs what it is. He invited Tia, but got nervous and asked Tobias as a favor. That makes sense. They probably went to some casual, but nice place. Something like..EhÂOlive Garden or Applebees. Discussion? Anything at all. Tia is a talkative girl. Darin is keeping pace, but blushing slightly and Tobias is watching with mild interest and eating his food (heÂs a bit of a loner more often than not).

8) 3 (James) challenges 10 (Sandi) to a duel. What happens?
*dies* James would never challenge Sandi to a duel. HeÂd be bored to death! Sandi sleeps all the time, as I said before. James is a wild redhead with a fascination with pranking people and getting into troubleÂ.

9) If 1 (Kyrstin) stole 8Âs (Kyna's) most precious possession, how would he/she get it back?
KynaÂs most precious possession…

robably her harp. Or some other musical instrument. Kyna is a Storyteller. ThatÂs her ability. Kyrstin is..well..the ringleader of all the voices. SheÂd probably only steal it to get Kyna out of a gloom or something. Kyna would only have to ask for it to get it back.

10) Suggest a title for a story in which 7 (Darin) and 12 (Tia Laree) both attain what they most desire.
Darin is the caring friend and healer of the Voices and Tia is the Peacekeeper. I have no idea for a title. Something corny like ÂHealing LoveÂ or somethingÂand theyÂd both get peace and happiness in their lives. ItÂs probably a love story for the both of them. *laughs* How cute.

11) What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 1 (Kyrstin) and 4 (R... ]]> =AKAcorn Thank You http://AKAcorn.deviantart.com/journal/17983160/ http://AKAcorn.deviantart.com/journal/17983160/ Tue, 22 Apr 2008 20:31:03 PDT

He featured me in a news article. I really appreciate it.

There's the link for the article.

Dragon's Flame is really getting up there! I'm so excited. I'm really glad everyone really likes it!

It has 72 Favorites and 918 pageviews!

Ah..yeah..I'm sort of out of it.

Tired is more like it. I've had to work the past 5 days and I'm going on number six.

Hm..yes..

Take a look at his awesome works! He's an amazing Vector artist!

Stolen from *DayinTynSane and *Kage-Ichihashi because I have no life.

1. Gavin
2. Ian
3. Skye
4. Fred
5. Greyson
6. James
7. Maddie
8. Quintyn
9. Kamaria
10. Constantine

1. Would you date number 5 (Greyson)?

Greyson is a girl, for one. And, I doubt it. SheÂs a bit too creepy for my taste. I mean, her brain is like a super computer and she canÂt show emotion (her hair turns color)Â

2. Number 2 (Ian) just got in a car crash. How do you react?

IAN! YOU FREAKING IDIOT!....Your blood is too precious to just spill everywhere like that! Âinsert motherly smother hug-

3. You see number 9 (Kamaria) with your boy/girlfriend. What do you do?

Me? Boyfriend? HahaÂAnd, sheÂs probably just telling him about her most recent Monster Food experiment. And..HeÂs staring at her blankly.

4. You come home and your house has been TP'd by number 4 (Fred).

Fred, just because I called you an asswipe does not mean you have to be a smartass too.

5. Number 1 (Gavin) is laying on your couch wasted.

Dmitri, what the hell did you drag Gavin through this time?!? You know heÂs an innocent!

6. Numbers 3 (Skye) and 8 (Quintyn) decide to give 10 (Constantine) a haircut.

Constantine Â ÂSkye, call 911.Â
Skye Â ÂOkay! Âno questions-Â
Quintyn Â ÂWhy? We arenÂt that dangerous.Â
Constantine Â ÂNo, but I amÂÂ

7. Number 7 (Maddie) just got tickets for him/her and you to go to a concert.

Ah, sorry Maddie, but I have plans that day. I do know, however, someone who would love to go with you.

8. Number 10 (Constantine) takes you to a bar.

Me Â Constan-HIC-tineÂWah joo plan-HIC-nin tuuhh doooo? Âis drunk-
Constantine Â ÂOh, nothingÂNothing at allÂÂ-smirks-

9. Number 4 (Fred) has to move to the other side of the world.

Constantine is whoring this half of the world. He needs to broaden his horizons and find new love.

10. You and number 8 (Quintyn) are being chased by the cops for an unknown reason.

Quintyn! Did you go near Maddie again? You forgot about the restraining order again, didnÂt you!? DidnÂt you!?

11. Number 7 (Maddie) and you are sitting on the couch watching a movie when they wrap their arm around you.

-smirks- Maddie, youÂre daydreaming about Quintyn againÂ.

12. Number 5 (Greyson) asks you out to dinner.

So, what did Love do this time?

13. Number 9 (Kamaria) and you are sitting on a bus. Where are you going?

14. Number 6 (James) wakes you up in the middle of the night because they can't sleep.

Me Â ÂJames, your new prank can wait until morning. Go..To..Sleep!Â
James Â ÂYou old hag! It isnÂt like youÂre sleeping anyways! You were reading a book until I came into the room. You put the book down and faked sleep!Â
Me Â ÂWell, I canÂt imagine whyÂÂ

15. Number 7 (Maddie) pins you onto the ground for no apparent reason, then starts licking your face.

Maddie, has Quintyn finally driven you over the deep end?

16. You're walking with someone and number 6 (James) runs up and tackles you to the ground from behind.

James, what the hell did you do this time? Did you prank Bloodfire again? IÂm not going to save you from her every time. One day, you will be killed.

17. Number 1 (Gavin) is crying one day and you ask them why and it seems their boy/girlfriend has dumped them.

Gavin with a girlfriend? HeÂs one of the most anti-social people I know..HeÂs scared of humankind.

18. Number 2 (Ian) offers to bake you a meal. As you sit in the other room, the kitchen is suddenly aflame.

Ian! For the last time! Burning yourself is not a good thing!...Did you hide the fire extinguisher? You freaking Emo moron! Stop, Drop and Roll!...Do not make me tackle youÂ

19. Number 4 (Fred) comes to your door one day holding a koala.

No, Fred, just because youÂre bribing me with cute an cuddly things, does not mean IÂll write more smut for you..

20. You and number 8 (Quintyn) just woke up in the same bed.

Wow...the store is freaking busy today.

We're having a huge One Day Only meat sale thing.

It's been busy since 7:30 this morning...And the store doesn't offically open until 8:00...

I had no where to park. I had to park over in the parking lot that belongs to the bar next door...Weee....

Wanna know how busy?

Just between my register and one other, we've made over 10K. And, it's only 11.

I even came in early because they needed the help.

Blahdedah..

I'll update this later. I received a gift today and it nearly made me cry...So, I got permission to share it with you guys. I'll have to post it when I get home tonight.

5:30 can't come soon enough.

What New Theme Should I Make My Journal?

Like...colors and stuff.. I'm not too keen with doing special things like pictures.

If someone can find a cool CSS here on dA that would suit me, the link to it would be welcomed as well.

Otherwise, just give me some color combination or scheme. Like "Blues" or whatever. It's time for a change.

Okay....seriously. Isn't my life annoyingly exciting? I'm getting sick of it.

I really am a suspect, of sorts.

These people came in and purchased a large order. Gave me a huge check ($309.69) to pay for it. It was out of state. I got it OKed by my boss. I was iffy about it. I had a feeling that it would come back and bite us on the ass. So, as insurance for myself, I put my boss's intials on it. That way it can't be pinned on me.

It did.

It was a bad check. Came back as a void and everything. I knew it would. I was scared that the boss would kick my ass. Seriously.

He's pissy, but that's normal.

Well, tonight, my other manager person came out of the office and looked at me.

"The state police want to talk to you." I laughed. "No, I'm serious..Go to the office and take the call."

Great...

They talked to me for about fifteen minutes. Asking a bunch of questions. Repeating some too. I answered the best I could. I couldn't remember what the hell the woman looked like or what vehicle they drove. That was a laugh and a half...I'm not that smart when it comes to cars.

Ah, anyways. Turns out that the Police guy will call me back in the next two days or the next two weeks for a statement. I had to give him my cell number.

I snickered when he spent three minutes trying to pronounce my name.

Ah, but yeah..we're in it deep. Apparently these people stole the check(s) 25-30 of them to be exact. They've been using them all over the states. NC, VA, PA, WV, OH....

Yeah...I'm...screwed.

_Idiots!

Guys! I got 10K pageviews!

This is absolutely amazing! I wish I knew who got it....

Ah, but anyways..

THANK YOU GUYS SO SO MUCH!

This really means a lot to me. I know it's just 10K, but that's an amazing feat in my opinion. I never ever expected to get this many views...

I'm going to go cry tears of happiness now...

I'm sorry about my last journal...

My only explanation is that I haven't been sleeping much at all lately.

I feel like an idiot because of it.

Um..yeah..

Nothing else to say right now. I'll be going to work here in a little while.

So...yeah...Don't expect to see anything else like that last journal again.

>.< That was embarrassing really..

Okay, seriously..I warned you. There is no point to this journal at all. You have a chance to use your time more wisely..so..Go!

You're still with me?

Geez...You're...nevermind.

Here's my pointless journal.

Baking Soda creeps me out..

Yes, ladies and gents, I repeat, Baking Soda creeps me out.

I mean..You cook with it, right? Hence the word, "Baking." But!...

You can clean with it, too..

You still have a chance to stop reading....

But, yes..You clean with it, you brush your teeth with it, you keep odor out of your fridge with it! That's nasty...Why eat something that can do things like that?

Go ahead and argue with me that there are other things that do the same stuff. I know this...but for some reason Baking Soda really gets me. I mean, it's used to put out grease fires too. Sure, water does that, but water is a natural enemy to fire...

Okay..I need a life, you say? Sure, I know I do...Not new news to me.

I even looked up different things Baking Soda can do...These few things really..disturbed me..

- It is added to water used to soak beans; this is said to prevent flatulence.

- Soaking insects in baking soda for three to five hours (French style is to soak for eight to nine hours) prior to cooking produces a sweeter, more mushroom-like taste in the finished cuisine.

- It is sometimes used in septic tanks to control pH and bacteria.

- Mixed with water in a 10% solution can soften earwax for removal.

- Baking soda can be used as a low-cost alternative to raise pH in swimming pools.

- It can be used in a mixture with sugar (50/50) as a household solution for killing cockroaches.

Ew? *laughs*

Okay, seriously...If anyone actually sat here and read this...I congratulate you on putting up with me...You're awesome. I love you. Yaddah Yaddah Yah....

I need sleeep....I blame all of this on lack of sleep...You should to....

Tomorrow is my mommy's birthday!!

Yes, I'm spazzing..Get over it.

She isn't too happy about it, but that's only natural. She thinks she's old. She isn't really that old. I think she's going to be...Well, I'm not sure. She's in her 40s....Damn. That's sad. I should really pay more attention.

So, yes. I called today and ordered her flowers. Tulips to be exact. They'll be delivered tomorrow to work...While I'm there. So she has easy access to kill me. *nods*

Um..yes..I..don't know what else to say right now. My head is kinda dizzy. I'm not feeling very well.

Ima go lay down now.

Wuffles you all!

Yes! Um...That last journal was horrible. *laughs* Apparently my mom reads my journals when she's at work. She came home today and started scolding me for cursing, but at the same time she was praising me for being so bitchy. Yeah, gotta love my mom. She's beyond insane sometimes.

Um...New journal colors! To bring in the new season. It can't get here fast enough. It's also a tribute to Easter..I suppose. The colors make me think of Easter anyways.

And..it isn't great, by far. I just picked random colors. *shrugs* Oh well, right?
