*huggyhugs* [25 Dec 2009|08:22am] queenofthecute [ mood | festive ] Happy Holidays,* everyone! I'm so glad I get to call you my friends. I hope you have a wonderful holiday, get every present you wanted, and eat good food until you pass out. <333333 *I know not everyone out there does the Christmas thing, so whichever winter gift-giving holiday you celebrate, I hope it's the best one ever. 7 comments|post comment

Job (and lack thereof) Update [24 Dec 2009|07:53am] queenofthecute [ mood | disappointed ] Last night everyone in my department at work (about 60 people, including my Dad) was laid off, except for about 5 of us. Merry fucking Christmas, huh? We found out last week that the whole department was being shut down, but they told us it would be happening on January 8th. Of course, considering that the only reason we knew then was because someone CCed an email to the wrong people, I guess I shouldn’t be very surprised by this turn. You stay classy, Verizon. *finger guns* The few of us that they kept will only be around until the end of the month. We'll be able to manage with the unemployment until I find something new (and dare I say… better?) but still. Not the best way to begin the new year. =/ Since I’m going to suddenly have a lot more free time on my hands, I’ll most likely be online a bunch more. My Facebook account is still hacked or whatever, so I can’t login to that, but I’m on Tumblr and Twitter now! Let me know who you are around those parts of the internet so I can follow you, too. <3 21 comments|post comment

Stuffs (snow, wishlist, etc.) [19 Dec 2009|08:17pm] rocknlobster [ mood | accomplished ] [ music | "Zombie" The Cranberries ] So I totally fell asleep before I could post this last night: It has snowed a foot here. In Virginia. wtf. I'm loving it, but oh my god our infrastructure is not prepared for this shit. Roads sucking so bad. Drivers are worse. Pedestrians get first prize, though. I'm sorry, if you are walking in the STREET in front of MY CAR I expect you to move out of MY way. Not me swerving and maybe wrecking my car because you are too lazy to move your fat ass to the side of the road. And no, don't throw snowballs at my fucking car you asshole. Bah. Humbug. Also parking almost turned into utter fail when my car got stuck a few times in drifts but I fixed it. With my boots. Hehehe. Sooooo tired but must do this next thing. For science! ( Wishlist meme cause Nik asked me to. ) So it's tomorrow now and I had a great day. I think I slept 10 hours, almost. It was amaaaaaazing. I never get that kind of sleep these days, heh. I have a keyboard waiting for me at my parents' house (a really nice oneeeee yaaaay I can start doing music again!). I am being picked up at some point soon by mah bff and her mom to go to the house of this nifty girl we both adore. To do costume-y things for Fallout tonight because, well, at least for my part I am in a dressing up sort of mood! Winter wonderland type stuff I guess. Augh I have a space heater pointed toward me in my living room (the room with the propane heater) and my feet are still cold. Inside my boots. Failcakes. I am so satisfied with my social circle right now. I feel like I'm spending time with the people I really like...although I definitely think I'm always a little behind. There's always those few other people it occurs to me I want to spend time with and I just don't have time or they aren't around or whatever. Oh my gawd it's too frickin cold now that the sun is down. Wisconsin in two weeks is gonna be AWESOME! Hehe. At least lechevalierseul has heat. Although I am enjoying typing on my computer in my Super-90s fishnet armlength gloves. <3 6 comments|post comment

[16 Dec 2009|08:15pm] _ashlinn_ I feel completely and utterly lost and like my life is a giant empty mess of meaningless nothing and I just needed anyone and everyone who reads, read or will ever read this stupid journal to know that. Also I am going to Stockholm is 6 weeks so that will be good. Edit: Here are two good things about my day: - Dinner with Gwen -The Cat is trying really hard to sleep on the radiator but he is too fat and it is funny to watch him flailing around trying to stay on. Three good things about yesterday: - I got to see Rachael + try Bhead candy cane hot chocolate - I sold 8 cards at workshop and made 25$ - I was able to afford an xmas prez for Sarah that she wanted. And on Sunday I picked out a pair of pants for Christmas that I'm pretty excited about! (lame) 10 comments|post comment

Octopi using tools! [16 Dec 2009|03:04pm] rocknlobster [ mood | nerdy ] [ music | Hellsing OST ] http://kidsblogs.nationalgeographic.com/kidsnews/2009/12/octopus-mobile-homes.html Watch the video; it's adorable. Sorry I've been really busy and haven't had time to check comments or journals or anything like that. Leaving for Philly Tues-Fri next week, then going to stay with lechevalierseul from Dec 27 - Jan 3. This week is SO BUSY. But it's a good kind of busy mostly. I mean, I broke my brain doing a ton of kung fu kids certificates last night/this morning, but mostly my busy has been a social busy. Saw Zombieland (finally!) as a totally last minute thing last night. It meant killing myself to stay up late and do those certs on my computer but worth it! Social bustling...man, every time I think I'm burning out I rearrange my groups, reset, and keep it going strong. There's one guy in particular I've been hanging out with a lot, although to be fair at this point my friendship comfort level with him (as well as certain other people I spend a lot of time with) is at the level of "technically you could be furniture in my house" and the furniture-comfort-people don't count for social stuff in the same way. My point is: I have people, I get to spend time with them, awesome. Oh, and I've been watching a miniseries called Cult Symbolism in the Third Reich. My geek feathers have been fluffing themselves for daaaaays now, oh man. I haven't had time for geekery as much lately. Like, real geekery, not just making cutesy references to things and making jokes. Real geekery to me is actually learning things, making an effort and researching and expanding mental horizons. Sometimes that means researching further on topics I already know (sharksssss) and sometimes it means revisiting things I've forgotten (WW2 trivia) but regardless of the exact form, real geekery is my favorite kind. And I have to go now...meh. No time to shower before work; I guess I'll come home after work and eat and shower and THEN go to a thing with a local band I like. They're having a get-together/recording party/concert thingie. Good times. It's kind of far away, but I'm sure my trusty car can make it this once. ;P Oh, and happy hanukah! I still haven't lit my candles for today. :( 2 comments|post comment

Love is beautiful, Love is wonderful. Love is everything. [16 Dec 2009|01:08am] queenofthecute [ mood | delighted ] [ music | TP&TF - Ma Belle Evangeline ] Dudes, I don't mean to be weird and creepy... but I am honestly sitting here unable to wipe a grin from my face because The Princess and the Frog is SUCH A GREAT MOVIE. I love it so much you guys! So, so much! stupidhero and I went to see it tonight (her first viewing, my second) and I am just... SO FULL OF FEELINGS! I am inarticulate from lack of sleep and I have be up in 4 hours, but I must express my joy! Go see it,* if you can! It is a really great movie! <333 *I mean, you can throw your money at James Cameron's ego is you want (maybe then he could afford a font that is not Papyrus? *twitchtwitch* IDK!) and I'm sure that you will see some very pretty pictures on the screen. If you go see The Princess and the Frog though, you can get a movie that has heart and meaning right along with all the pretty. ;D 25 comments|post comment
