| hiding my musical shame |
[Mar. 9th, 2006|01:45 pm] |
Sometimes, I'm actually glad that I listen to my CD player/iPod more then I do my winamp.
I pulled out this out mp3 cd I made years ago at my friend's house and for some strange reason decided to play it. OMG.. this thing is just too embarassing to mention. It has everything from old old Destiny's Child to a whole of songs that may have been banned away to suffer a slow death in the Now! cd collections. |

| Sleep has left me.. |
[Mar. 7th, 2006|02:05 pm] |
It's turning out that sleep isn't a friend of mine.
At lease, not on the night's that I have to go work. My brain tell's me that I should get some sleep to be able to function along the working grind, but my body just lays there wide awake counting the hours as they pass by.
9:00 a.m. Close eyes and pretend within the next hour you can go to sleep.
10:00 a.m. Close eyes and pretend to be asleep and repeat.
11:00 a.m. Close eyes and pretend to be asleep and repeat.
By 2 p.m. I just gave up, especially since I have to get used to being at work by 10:30 p.m. instead of my usaually 11:30 p.m.
Overall... ARGH!! |

| Elfman/Burton Signing |
[Feb. 15th, 2006|04:57 pm] |
So I went to West Hollywood last night to the Elfman/Burton signing.By 4 something p.m., the lines were already starting to get pretty big so my husband and I just sat there with everyone else for 5 hours 'till the time arrived.
It was a complete and total mismash of people there: young.. old.. goth.. normal.. the wannabe nightmare fans (you know who you are.. the ones who went way way too overboard with their love for the movie. Yeah we get it.. you love it.)
They were being super strict over how many items could be signed.. and apparently you were only allowed to take one picture, as one of the guards rudely told me. And the picture had to be taken pretty far away which kinda sucked actually.
I got my copy of "Corpse Bride" signed and the guys even wrote Happy Birthday on it since it was sort of my birthday.

So today is my 25th birthday :)
I spent it eating my annual birthday burger at Red Robin Gourmet Burgers. Actually, I didn't have a burger this year. I had a side salad with cajun chicken strips, but that isn't really the point is it? The point is that so far my birthday is ending up being pretty laid back and even delightful.
After eating, my husband and I walked around the mall and hit "Hot Topic" and I found the coolest Freddy Kruger shirt I think I have ever seen before. This one is entirely black except for the Fredester, who is placed directly on the shirt of the shirt. When I wore it.. it looked like his claw was trying to take a piece of my boob. (LOL)
I decided that this would be the shirt I will wear tomorrow at the signing...
Oh I forgot, I haven't mentioned it here yet. Tomorrow Danny Elfman and Tim Burton are doing a "Corpse Bride" DVD signing in West Hollywood and I'm going. :) I wasn't going to at first... but the idea of regret started to haunt me. And after hours of thinking about it, the conclusion I came up with is this: I simply live within the realms of safe comfort of my house everyday. How am I ever to discover new things or people being a hermit?
My husband also knew that if I didn't go, I would sit home on Valentine's Day and make his life miserable, which is probably true. i saw no real no real point agruing with him.
So hopefully I will come back tomorrow night with a signed dvd, a fit of gitty laughter and perhaps a photo.
We shall see.

I have a complete and total headache that doesn't appear to leave anytime soon.
An aching lower back that reminds how close to my period I really am.
A stomach ache that keeps me stuck in the inbetweens. It doesn't know what it wants.. I get very hungry, only to feel sick to my stomch a few minutes later..
And the weather man says that there is rain coming up in the forecast.
I think I'm going to hide between the warmth of my favorite blanket, watch "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" and wait for everything to blow over. |

Argh.
Here it comes.. the journal/blog/diary entry for years that I have been avoiding my whole life, but knew it would have been be written up sometime.
I have no religion.
Yup. It was a very personal choice and one that I protect deeply.
It seems that ever since I was a little girl, no one could either wrap their head around that or refused to acknowledge it. I'm agnostic. I would tell them that and still they would refuse to believe it for some reason.
All my friends/co workers/fellow students etc... that I have known for years have been from numberous religious backgrounds.
Christians.. Catholics.. Buddists.. Atheists...
And you know what, I completely respect they're right to believe in what they choose.
I always saw religion in same way I see music genres.. You know you have so many genres and sub generes. Some that are aww inspiring to you. Some that make you sad. Some that make you cringe.
It's all about choice. You pick the type of music that effects you in some way, and I see religion in the same way. You chose the religion you did for a reason. And I don't have to like it or believe in it, but I have to show them the same respect that I would hope they would show me.
But too often that isn't the case. What often happens is a Christian friend/co worker goes off on a wild conversation about God and Jesus and the devils and the end of the world... and then turn to me to agree with them, when they know that I won't. So they get mad... and of course, say that I'm going to hell.
Going to hell for having a difference of opinion seems a little harash, don't you?
And the reality is this kids...
I'm not going to hell.
I'm no saint, but I haven't killed anyone either.
I have broken a few hearts... people have broken mine.
I'm a complete and total fuck up with a bleeding heart.
I believe in people... though all often they let me down or don't believe in me.
I happen to love to listen to Korn, Marilyn Manson, Alice Cooper and sometimes, if I'm in the mood, Rammstein... that does not make me a devil worshiper...
I listen all sorts of dark, etheral goth music... that does not make me a dark witch that casts spells against your kin in my basement.
And the big one..
I don't go to church, because, quite frankly, I have much better things to do with my time, though I have no problem with those that wish to go. Just don't ask me to.
Now if any of you out there cannot deal with that (especially so called friends) then move on.. find yourself some other friends and leave me the heck alone. |

| Halloween .. the devils holiday... My ass |
[Oct. 31st, 2005|08:46 am] |
| [ | Current Mood |
| |  pissed off | ] |
It's bad enough that I have been hurt already once this week...
But this, is just insane.
One of my friend's has just posted this over religious point of view on Halloween. And I'm pissed off.
Now I understand that everyone are allowed to but the intention of what she wrote.
To say that all Halloween is, is basically a playground for satan to steal people's souls as they give candy out to kids, is just insane. And it's this overly religious nonsense that just ruins the holiday for people like me who adore it so.
I don't adore the holiday for the candy consumation or commerialisim that a lot people are quick to point the finger at.
I love it because unlike all of the other holidays, it's the one day out of the year we are allowed to be a little bit weird. A little bit sexy. A little mischevious. We are allowed to act out.. be someone else for one day. And for a lot of us book worms, or shy girl/guys next door... it grants us the ability to be the person we really wannna be can't. We can be that rockstar. Or a cool Jedi. (Yes. I used "cool" and "jedi" in the same sentence.) Or sexy movie vixion. Or a gruesome monster that scares people.
And best of all, you don't have to be a part of a religion to enjoy it or understand it. (Like Christmas or Easter for example. )
And it's time to understand that bible says certain things to scare the bejesus out of people. And for me personally, it's way to easy to point out a random scripture to defend your case.
Halloween is just a simple little freakin' holiday people. Get over ourselves.

| The wonderful art of waiting |
[May. 12th, 2005|09:01 pm] |

We all waiting for something, aren't we? Waiting for the end of a work week. Waiting for another drink. Waiting for that song to be played on the radio again. Waiting for someone to come out of the bathroom so you don't have to be doing the pee pee dance. (Yup.. That's me at work. Waiting for someone to get their ass out of the bathroom so I can pee out my 4 cups of really bad work coffee.)
Yup. We all are waiting for something. As for me.. I'm waiting my company to deposit my lovely paycheck into my lovely account, so I can see what funds I'm dealing with here.
Being an adult sucks. Your paycheck becomes almost like a piechart... One percent goes here... 30 percent over here. I have pay my rent... Then pay my live365.com account (and probably cancel it.).. Put 50 bucka away for next months credit card payment... 60 to pay back my boyfriend... and then for whatever ends up actually in my account goes striaght into my savings.

Good morning all. It's a good tuesday morning. How do I know it's a good morning? Well, I'm not at work for one thing and that makes extremely happy. Not that I hate my job... I'm actully pretty fond of it. It's just after for 6 days striaght I was ready for some lazing off.
And I did that in spades. I slept for hours (and I do mean for hours), ate some yummy Giardelli dark chocolate squares and drank several cups of coffee.
I was able to update the station .. add some new tracks to it. (If you like New Wave and some random 90's alternative gems, your in luck my friend.)
All in all, it's been a good couple of days. What about you all? |

Just random updates on my life (Since I haven't been blogging that much lately...)
- I also just got hosted through Blog Moxie Hosting. I'm pretty happy about that. I signed up for the quarterly payments since they were cheaper. But...
- .. I was hoping to get my blog up and running through Blog Moxie, but as it turns out they are currently are not accepting any new requests for designs. Bummer. I was hoping to get work done through them because I haven't got a clue with to do with my hosting info. So now I'm looking for some else to design/ set up the damn thing. Any takers?
- I also created "Music Whore Radio" with my friend Andrea thanks to http://live365.com The station can be found here.

God bless you both for be friending this lonely and making all the pity agruments/disagrements/bitching without our department... go by much much faster.

I still have my friends Christmas presents awaiting them.. Patiently waiting for them all to collectively get their asses over my house and pick them up.
Except Cheryl.. I made the mistake of putting Cheryl's little plastic bag of gifts in a shopping bag. And I think it accidently got thrown out. (Feels like an ass.)
Either way... girl call me up and make it a day out. I'll take you out to the movies or get ya something to eat. |

Last night... I was fixing up the shoe aisle when they bgan to announce the winner of "The Best Attendance" award was announced.
It was me.
So.. does that mean they consider me "More then seasonal"?
Either way I got a Target gift card out it after all. |

I found myself this morning stuck by the Baler.
(Note: A Baler is a machine that compacts ton's of cardboard into one big old square.)
It was just me pushing the heavy cage of cardboard towards the Baler. Everything was going pretty good and typical. I started chucking all the cardboard into the machine -- pull down the lever -- hit the "Down" button -- watch the cardboard painfully get crushed -- I cringe. Same old .. Same old.
That was until the pile decided to tip over and jam up the machine. I looked around and then the realization hit me -- I was completely and utterly fucked!
I was there -- like a little dork trying my hardest to rip apart the huge piece of cardboard, that clearly wasn't going to move. Shit.. Shit!!!
A nice man named "Richard" came to my rescue. We tried to cut away the large piece of cardboard, figurging that was the manin cause of the jam. And it worked... for a one good 2 minutes. Then the damn thing jammed up on me again.
By now.. a lot of people have come and gone leaving their carts of cardboard in their wake. Nice!
So now I'm stuck with a broken Baler, that I didn't break but everyone else thinks I that I did and carts and carts of other people's crap.
Another kind man tried to help me, by throwing more cardboard in the middle to try to counter weight the rest of the cardboard. That seemed to do the trick. The baler began to work again. (Thank God!)
So an hour I was able to head back to softlines (The Clothing section of the store) and help my boss Dianna (The coolest boss in the world) out. |
