6 Weirdest Things meme. Finally.

Okay, my lovelies, here it is....

1. If I'm feeling particularly goofy, I'll start talking in random accents. Be afraid. I'm not very good at them, but I do try!

2. When I'm stressed, I'll do one of two things; I'll lose myself in either TV shows or fanfic, or I'll clean and organize everything in sight. The last one is reserved for when I'm stressed to the point of homicide. Grr. I think it's a control issue, because I've noticed I do that only when things outside my control stress me out. Hm.

3. Like Melee, I can't stand any kind of fat or gristle on my meat. The mere thought of it makes me gag. Blech. I will obsessively scour my steak for any sign of the offender and destroy it before bringing it anywhere near my mouth.

4. I've no idea why I've started doing this, but for some reason lately, I can't speak. What I mean is that when trying to spit out a full sentence, I'll start talking like the Sheriff of Rottingham from Men in Tights. Not that badly, of course, but you get the general idea. *facepalm* And I can't seem to break myself of it.

5. I like rocks. Yup, you read right. Especially agates. So pretty. I like the unusual ones, whether for shape or color. When I was little, I would bring home rocks of all shapes, sizes, colors, and dirtiness. (A girly-girl I was not.) This drove my mother insane....which actually explains a lot, come to think of it.

6. I love my family. Why is this here? Well, having been around quite a few people who avoid their families at all costs, they tend to look at me oddly when I say that I actually enjoy my family members. I'm incredibly close to my mom, dad, brother, and sister, and I seek out opportunities to be with my extended family, too!

There you have it. There's more weirdness, I'm sure, but I like to keep people in suspense once in awhile. I'd tag people, but I'm feeling a bit lazy at the moment. Meh. *shrugs*

Texas Trip!

You guys have no idea how excited I am for this trip. I've begun counting down weeks. I will be buying my plane ticket soon, and I've already started making lists of what I need to bring. I'm strange like that. Shut up! ;) My dad's given me permission to swipe his digital camera for the trip, which means plenty of pics. You have all been warned! And no complaining; I'd like lots of pics to remember all the fun I'm going to have. *rubs hands together* Well, okay, that made almost no sense...

Look what I made!

Check it out! Dad just got PaintShop Pro, v. 11. Naturally, I swiped it, and since I have pretties of Craig on my laptop already, I did some messing around, and made this icon! I am so incredibly proud of myself. I actually can be creative on occasion. I can tell I'm going to have waaaaaay too much fun with this program! *rubs hands together in evil glee* What do you guys think? Should I post this over at our Craig blog? (Hm. A Clog? or Crog?)

My Scarf is in a Rut.

I'm only about halfway through it, and winter's starting. My mother is going to freeze her little neck off - and it'll all be my fault. Poor mom. I haven't had much time lately to do much of anything, so that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! :P

My current musical obsessions are The Who, Breaking Benjamin, Foreigner, Bon Jovi (all your fault, April!), and Bond. Heh. Four rock groups and one classical. I swear, I have the most eclectic music collection of anyone I know. Ah, well! It's mine! All mine!

In other news, I've apparently gone on a highlighter binge. If I see highlighters, I buy them. My only thought is, "oooh, that will look pretty in my WT!" I am sad. I am deranged. And I'm related to you guys. Heh-heh. *cue evil laughter*

So...Here I Am...

Bored out of my mind. I'm at work, and things are slow on the reservations front. Besides answering phones, I have NOTHING to do tonight - which is a rarity, believe me. I do like my job, but nights like this when my only company is the muzak in the lobby really do drive me crazy. At least if my coworker Kathy were with me, we could play UNO in the back. Or if the Assistant Manager Sue were here, we could play pool in the swimming pool area. Sadly, before you ask, yes, we have done these things on slow nights.

But tonight it's just me. Here. Alone. With my computer and my sense of boredom. I didn't even bring my knitting with me! Pooh. Then, I had an inspiration! I thought, "Hey! I haven't updated my blog in awhile. I'll bet people are ready to slaughter me for it, too." So, here I am. I've been living in lurker-dom, in case you were wondering. I've simply had nothing to write about and haven't been in the mood to write about nothing. And if that last comment makes any sense, than I'm afraid for you! (Although, I'm sure Melee will understand it. That thought doesn't scare me as much as it probably should. *shrugs*)

My Poor Niece is teething. Badly. PN was up from 8:30 am on Sunday until about 2:30 pm, when she slept for only about half an hour, and didn't sleep again until later that night. PN just was SO uncomfortable. Poor baby. =(

I bought "House, M.D." season one on DVD a couple of weeks ago, and have now been on a total House/Cameron fanfiction binge. Sigh. There's just not enough good ones out there. And I can't write that show to save my life. Although I adore House's mean, sarcastic sense of humor!

I still have nothing to do, but I suppose I should act like it. So, until next time....

New Project - sorta....

Okay, so in knitting news, I am working on *drumroll* another scarf! *looks around at disappointed faces* Yeah, I know. I just got a book on knitting socks. One of these days I WILL get around to knitting socks, I promise! Eventually, I will also be posting pictures of my various projects.

My friend Coley (short for Nichole) and I are in the planning stages of finding an apartment. I realized as we were talking about it one day that all I would really have is...my bed. And my car, but I'm thinking the bed is the better deal of the two. Sadly. =) Soooo, I'm going to be hunting around at various garage sales and discount places for furnishings and things. Oh, darn. Shopping. How will I cope? =)
