12:57 pm - Let the Christmas mania begin! Happy Black Friday, everyone! I hope that for everyone who's frantically shopping for Christmas gifts for friends and neighbors, your shopping trips go smoothly and without any major hangups or meltdowns or tears of frustration because what you want to give has been sold out, or the lines are too long, or anything of that sort. And for those who braved the bitter cold during their camping excursion at the head of the line, here's a big mug of virtual hot chocolate for you. I've found that as I've gotten older, my wanting to do something like camping overnight just to be the first in line when stores open at the ungodliest hours of the morning has waned. I'd rather sleep in my comfy bed in my comfy house enjoying the comfy heating. Maybe when I was 16 I would have done something like that, but I'm 15 years older than that now, and the thought does not appeal to me. :D Ah, well. One of these days I'm going to get around to stop acting like an old fuddy-duddy and just be silly. Anyway, I've got things to do and so little time to do them in, so I'm out. Merry Christmas, everyone (and for those who are wondering, I refuse to say "Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings," not because I'm unaware of the other holidays, but because Christmas is the main one, and I'm going to celebrate the birth of my Savior, come hell or high water.). Later! Current Mood: bouncy

01:04 pm - Happy Thanksgiving! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! If you're like my family, you've probably already eaten--or will eat--a ton of turkey, roast, pumpkin pie, and any other delectable delight you've cooked for the occasion. If you're on a diet, forget about it. This isn't the season for losing weigh; make a resolution to start your diet again after New Year's Day. This is going to be a short entry, because of the occasion. I just wanted to post and wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. Spend time with your family and tell them you love them. God bless!

01:46 pm - Thoughts on Thanksgiving Tomorrow is Thanksgiving! :D I have so many things that I'm thankful for: health, my parents, having a roof over my head and food to eat, friends...all the little things that people often take for granted. Even though we have a president who really isn't a president, because American presidents are usually people who stand up and represent American interests in the world (this man has trampled on American interests during his many and varied "apology tours" around the world and in essence is in the back pocket of third-world dictators such as Chavez)--an idiot for a Senate majority leader, and a pompous prima donna for a House Speaker--there are still enough things to be thankful for. What things, you ask? Entertain me for a couple of minutes while I expound. One of the things to be grateful for is the group of religious leaders from all denominations and faiths getting together and writing up the "Manhattan Declaration," which states in no uncertain terms that people of faith will no longer sit idly by while faith and morals get trampled on in every part of society. People of faith will not be discriminated against while other, far more radical groups like the militant feminists, environmentalists, and gay rights folks have free reign to spout out whatever they like, whenever they like. If they can proudly proclaim what they stand for, then damn it, so can Christians and people of other faith traditions. Another thing to be grateful for is the fact that the global warming hoax is slowly but surely being exposed for what it really is. Oh yeah, Barry Obama's going to go to Copenhagen and schmooze with the folks at the "global warming" summit, but try as he will to perpetuate the fraud, he's going to eventually end up looking like an utter fool. The truth will come out. Most of all, we should be grateful for family and friends and all of the good things that God has blessed America with. No matter what happens around us, God is still in control, and He will protect His people. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone, and God bless you! Current Mood: contemplative

01:12 pm - Blah blah blah I'm sitting here at the computer, listening to one of the music channels on TV and listening to the kids playing in their back yard next door. Normally, I'd get a bit miffed at hearing the kids, but I've thought about it and realized that I would rather hear their chatter than all of the gobbledygook coming out of Robert Gibbs' mouth during his daily BS session. What can I say? I'm not in the mood to be depressed right now, so I'm not listening to any sort of news on any channel, even Fox News, which is my news channel of choice. And...just like that, I've run out of things to talk about unless you'd like to hear about my Thanksgiving plans, which are simple enough--stay home with the family, eat a little turkey, and watch a little football; you know, all of the important activities. :D I keep forgetting if LSU and Arkansas play on Thanksgiving Day, or the next day, though. I think it's Black Friday, but to be absolutely certain,I need to ask my dad. He's more up to speed with things like this. I've been going through something of an airhead phase lately. XD I've been forgetting to post more songs here, but before I forget again, here goes. :D ( Mine! All mine! ) Current Mood: awake

04:23 pm - Saintly Thanksgiving First off...THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS ARE 10-0! Yes, friends and neighbors, the New Orleans Saints are still undefeated after beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 38-7 today in Tampa Bay's stadium. I couldn't watch the whole game because I really, really needed a nap, and I took one (it made me feel better, but that's beside the point). To my great joy, I learned of the Saints' victory when I awoke, and am now celebrating in my own little way. Bless you, boys! :D This Thursday is Thanksgiving Day. I have so many things that I'm thankful for: my health, my parents, the ability to go to church without being harassed by anyone.I'm thankful for just being alive and seeing another day. Some other things I'm thankful for: my eyesight, the ability to walk, the ability to see, my friends, the roof over my head, second chances, my dog; but most of all I'm thankful to God for sending His Son Jesus to us. Considering that next Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent, that's an awesome thing to be thankful for, wouldn't you agree?. Okay, this is a short entry, but I got everything I wanted to say off of my chest. God bless, everyone, and happy early Advent! :D Current Mood: bouncy

01:19 pm - My rant Does anyone besides me think it's just the tiniest bit odd that the Senate is voting to open debate on their version of the health care "reform" bill on a Saturday? Call me crazy, but it seems like they think that people will be so busy watching football and hitting the clubs that they won't be watching what's going on up there in Washington. Can you say "yellow-bellied cowards," anyone? Sure. I knew you could. You Washington fat cats don't care, though. You stopped caring about mainstream America a long time ago (and that's if you cared at all to begin with); the only time you people care about Main Street is when you're up for re-election. Your puppet master in the White House sure as hell doesn't care about the average citizen; why should he, when he hates this country so much that he's doing his level best to turn America into a third-world country? Bowing to the Japanese emperor, going around the world apologizing for America's "arrogance," proclaiming himself to be "a citizen of the world," vacillating on sending troops to Afghanistan even when he's been explicitly told that 40,000 more troops were going to be needed to win over there, kowtowing to the phony "global warming" fanatics, signing away America's sovereignty at the Copenhagen summit (It hasn't happened yet, but it will; that's why I've put it down as yet one more betrayal of the American people by a sitting American president/dictator wannabe. Hope and change? You voted for it, America. How do you like it? Isn't it wonderful? Trillions of dollars in debt that we'll never be able to pay off, isn't that awesome? Rationed health care, the trial balloon being those new breast cancer "guidelines" set out by a nameless, faceless task force...it's great, yes? Why, there's all sorts of sunshine and roses being spread around this country! Unemployment over 10%, no created jobs (except perhaps more government jobs), tax payer-funded abortion and death panels (they're in there, make no mistake about it), bank bailouts...it's the best thing that ever happened to America, and we have the Anointed One, the Messiah named Barry Obama to thank for it. Wake up, America. Wake the hell up. For your sake and for the sake of all clear-thinking, rational people here in this country, wake up. Current Mood: irate

06:12 pm - "The Phantom of the Leg "? Last night was yet another night in which I had a ridiculously weird dream. It involved "The Phantom of the Opera," singing, and a black dress that had a slit all the way up to just below the breastbone, revealing all of a leg and then some. It also involved the flubbing up the lyrics to songs, forgetting entire lines of lyrics, and prancing around onstage, when it wasn't necessary to prance around. Yes, it was a stupid dream; I highly agree with you. From now on, no more pizza after midnight. :S Anyhooooooo.... "Twilight" is getting pretty good. I'm halfway through the first book, and just today I felt a couple of chills go down my spine at the events happening. I think it's a harbinger of things to come, and I look forward to delving in to said events. For now, however, I bid all of you adieu, because I need to go get a sweater, as I'm rather chilly right now. God bless! Current Mood: cold

02:27 pm - "I love you," and how I feel about it I saw a question on another Web site dealing with how someone feels when they tell someone else "I love you," and I decided to expound on my answer here. "I love you" is something I've stopped saying to anyone who isn't a family member. There have been more times in the past where I've said it, and ended up being burned because of it. Those were some of the most humiliating moments of my life, and I am not going to get caught in another situation like that. As for how I felt when telling someone that, I'd have to say that I got caught up in the moment; there was a touch of desperation in a couple of cases, and a whole lot of vulnerability in a few others. Now, I don't say it any more, and I refuse to say it unless I'm in a serious, committed relationship, i.e., marriage. Some people might ask, "Well, what if you start dating again? Won't you want to say it then?" My answer is, "It's very, very unlikely that I will, even if it is in a courtship-type of relationship." I don't want to make the mistake of saying it, and then end up breaking up with the guy not too long afterward; that would just be stupid. So...as Annie Lennox said in one of her songs, there will be "no more I love yous" until I know that my love will be reciprocated by the other person. ( Come on, darn it! ) Current Mood: exanimate

01:52 pm I'm so tempted to start another blog dealing with all of the weird dreams I've been having lately, especially last night's...that one was disturbing. The problem is, I'm sure that some stupid out there is going to mistake my dreams for something that's going to happen in the near future, but honestly, how are you going to not know that dreams are only dreams, and that they won't materialize? In this day and age, paranoia abounds everywhere in the world, sometimes to an uber-ridiculous degree. Urgh. Gah. :S Hmm. Oh, yeah. I know I'm really late in jumping on the bandwagon, but I've noticed that when "Titanic" was first released, there were no book versions of the movie. Yes, there were a million books released about "Titanic," but there was not a novel version. I wonder why that was? Maybe I missed it because I was off on Planet 9 and not paying any attention. Anyhoo, I'm off to go do other things. Here's your daily dose of 80s goodness! ( People must be really needy these days. ) Current Mood: cold Tags: dream journal, dreams

November 16th, 2009

01:17 pm - Excited anticipation, and then some My life could not have gotten more interesting yesterday. I was taken out of Mass and off to the hospital because of some horrible pains I started having. To make a long story short, I reached the hospital, had an EKG done, waited for roughly six hours, saw the doctor, had lab work done, had an X-ray taken, went back to talk to the doctor, and then was told to eat more fiber such as apples, watermelons, bran cereal, and other such fibery foods. So yeah...it was a fun day yesterday. Right now I'm waiting to hear from the ladies at the hospital who interviewed me last week. I'm hoping that I'm going to be hired, because Lord knows I have many, many things to pay off (school loans, etc...all the fun bills.). But, I think I've spoken about that before, so I'm not going to keep beating a dead horse about it. I've had an idea. I think that along with posting interesting memes under an LJ-cut, I'll also post lyrics to some of my favorite songs. That way, I'll learn which lyrics are ones that I've been flubbing up for all these years, and I'll be able to memorize them in the process. Here goes nothing!

06:42 pm - Awaiting The Call and listening to The Game I'm hoping that I get the job that I interviewed for yesterday. The ladies told me that they would be calling me sometime in the early-ish/middle-ish part of this coming week to let me know their decision, so needless to say, I'm eagerly awaiting The Call. If I do get the job, it's going to be such a relief...there is so much stuff that I need to pay off, school loans being just one of them. *prays* What else to say? LSU's homecoming game is now on. They're playing Louisiana Tech. While I don't want to seem overconfident--Lord knows that once you think that you have a game in the bag without even playing one quarter, you end up either squeaking past an opponent with one or two points difference, or you lose outright. The teams that you underestimate are usually the ones you have the most trouble with, because they're out to prove themselves in a major way. Ohhh, and before I forget...SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GOT TROUNCED BY STANFORD TODAY! WOO HOO! That's about it for now. I'm off to look for other Web sites to peruse. Have a great day! :D Current Mood: bouncy

01:19 pm - Disgust and excitement I guess everyone's heard by now that Obama and Holder are allowing these 9/11 terrorists to stand trial in a civilian courthouse in New York, not far from Ground Zero. The contempt that Obama/Holder/Napolitano/others of their ilk hold for America is nauseating, and their expectations that these terrorists will receive justice is naive at best and dangerous at worst. Even if the death penalty were given to them, it's not going to do a bit of good. They'll go down as heroic martyrs in the eyes of their fellow terrorists. Capital punishment is what they want, and precisely for this reason. It's sickening. Anyhoo...bitching aside, I have a job interview at 3:30 today! I'm so happy. I think my chances of being hired are pretty good, particularly since I'm willing to work nights. Yes, I have the usual butterflies flying around in my stomach, but it's to be expected, especially in an interview setting. I just need to smile and be confident, and willing to accept whatever hiring decision the company makes. That's all you can do, really. Pray for me!

02:52 pm - Excellent news! I have a job interview tomorrow! Woo hoo! I'm so excited; maybe now I'll be hired, and will finally be able to pay off some school loans so I won't be getting so many harassing bills and phone calls. Pray for me! Today is another sunny day. Blah. I'm eagerly awaiting the next rainmaker, be it a misty rain or a very loud, booming thunderstorm, complete with a spice of lightning. I suppose I'm going to have to tolerate the sun just as people who hate rain have to tolerate rain. Maybe I should move to Washington State. I hear that they have their fair share of rain up there. *ponders* Moving won't happen for a while, though; I have to have money to do so, and right now, I'm sorely lacking in greenbacks. Ah well. C'est la vie, and all of that jazz. I'm just happy to have an interview. :D I need to grab a snack because...well, because I'm hungry. Later! Current Mood: ecstatic

01:30 pm - Running around in circles Isn't impulsiveness a symptom of something? I ask this because as of recently, I've been making accounts at any and all online journal sites that I could get my mouse on. One journal I just deleted because of what I was posting on there--it wasn't anything bad like porn, it was just something that I realized I didn't want the general public to read about (it had to do with family matters, and I always go talk to my parents about said matters) Yes, I know that there was a privacy option on there, but if you have someone who's a computer genius, there are ways to get around the privacy stuff. I don't claim to know how to get around it, mind you--my computer knowledge is so vast that you can fit it on the head of a pin--but I have enough common sense to know that if you can make a journal private, you can also un-privatize said journal (wow...I think we have a new word to go into the dictionary! lol). I plan on deleting another journal that I made an account for because again, it was a private matter. I know you're probably asking why I bothered to make these journals in the first place, but like I said...I've been on an impulsive streak lately, and one's mind doesn't stop to deliberate about anything like this. It's almost like shopping; you know you should buy those $100 tennis shoes, but you do anyway. Thankfully, the majority of blog sites are free to join, and if you want to upgrade, you have the option of doing so or not. Okay...that's enough for now. God willing, I'll return tomorrow...that is, if I don't forget my password to get into my accounts. lol God bless you all! Current Mood: hyper

01:42 pm - General ramblings Hello, all. I hope all of you are having a great day so far. Me, I'm doing all right. I was watching a little bit of the Ft. Hood memorial service, but decided to turn it off before Barry and his wife made their appearance. Hypocrisy sickens me, and to see that man there...well, that's another story for another post. I'm trying to stay positive today. :) For some inexplicable reason (or maybe just because the kitchen was begging me to get rid of all the drink cans which were lying around), I found myself picking up the drink can litter and putting it in a garbage bag. I'm planning on taking said cans to where they can be recycled; maybe I can get a dollar or two out of the deal. It's not a whole lot of money, granted, but at least it'll be a couple of dollars more than I originally had, right? You can't argue with that. I'm so excited...in a couple of days I might be called in for an interview at one of the local hospitals. What's so exciting is a.)if I get the job, I'll be doing what I graduated from college in, and b.)the hospital is in walking distance from my house, so I won't have to worry about taking the bus. I've been praying that this job works out...I've already said that I'm willing to work nights (that's the night owl in me; I do my best work at night, and I don't mean that in a perverted way. lol), so maybe...maybe that'll give me something of an edge. We'll have to see, though. It's all in God's hands. Mmkay, that's all I have for now. God willing, I'll be back tomorrow. Later! Current Mood: content

01:27 pm - Fair-weather fan-punks. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's a person who continually thinks negatively about everything and anything they happen to read, watch on TV, or observe for themselves. Take, for instance, what I just saw on Facebook. Forget the fact that the Saints are 8-0, and that they've consistently come back from big point deficits; some little punk started whining about how he "dreads the day that they (the Saints) play the 'Skins, because the Saints are going to "get slaughtered" (paraphrase is mine). How in the hell can you have such little faith in a football team, even after seeing what good things they've done in the first half of the season? I have NO patience for people like this punk. Either support the Saints, or leave their fandom and find another football team to support, since that's obviously what you really want to do. It's not rocket science, people. Ugh. Fair-weather fans are the bane of my existence. I can't stand them, I want no part of them. I'm sorry that I had to vent like this, but it was something I felt I needed to put down in order to get it out of my system. Frankly, I think all of these fans should move to Siberia or something so no one has to hear the negativity. I'll happily buy them an airplane ticket and wish them a hearty "Bon voyage". Okay, I'm off of my soapbox now. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be back to my usual cheerful self. Ciao until then. P.S. One of the social networking sites that I'm on is driving me up the freaking wall. Words are misspelled, the grammar is horrible, and the site admins aren't doing a thing about it, nor will they let those members who are fluent in English help those members who aren't fluent in English. It's ridiculous, and it's taking all I've got not to just quit that site. Current Mood: grumpy

01:59 pm - Fight the good fight Well, it happened. The House of Representatives passed their asinine 2200+ page health care "reform" bill. What gets me is that it only passed by 5 votes--5 lousy votes! I'd like to know the names of the Representatives who voted to pass this thing; I'd also like to know the names of the Representatives who were behind the votes which got this thing through, and whether or not their 'yes' votes were the result of arm-twisting on the part of the unholy trinity of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid. The Obamanation and the rest of his ilk should know--even if they choose to ignore it--that the American people are not just going to lie down and worship at the altar of Comrade Obama. Comrade Obama ignores Main Street at his own political peril and at the political peril of his fellow Marxists.What I can't figure out is, if he hates America so much, why the hell doesn't he just leave the country and go live over there in Europe where they run things more to his liking? No one's stopping him from leaving, and no one's really going to miss him if he packs his bags and goes. I know I'd give him a huge going-away party. All that said, I know that no matter what happens, God will be there to protect His people. Happiness does not depend on what's happening all around a person; if it's true joy, it will come from the inside, and that's something that Comrade Obama will never be able to take away, try as he might. Blessed be God in His angels and in His saints! Current Mood: content

01:43 pm - It's infuriating! I was listening to the radio this morning and happened to hear about how the House of Representatives held a midnight session to hammer out any last-minute "compromises" before the vote today. My first thought was "What a bunch of chickenshits--they have to do this in the middle of the night when most people are asleep so that they won't have to deal with any protesters." God forbid that any of these politicians actually speak their true feelings on this "reform," especially if they're against the 2200-page bill that no one up there has read. I want to know one thing, Mr. Obama, Mrs. Pelosi, and Mr. Reid. Are your families going to be covered under this same bill, or are all of you going to keep your BMW (as opposed to Cadillac) insurance plans? If not, why not? Your hypocrisy is smelling to high heaven, and we the people are getting nauseated by it. YOU work for US. WE pay YOUR SALARY with OUR TAXES. How dare you waste our tax money with this death-dealing, poverty-creating "reform" you're ramming down our throats! How dare you! I can smell a change in the air. I think a few of you Washington fat cats are going to be looking for new jobs after next year's election, and I, personally, will be voting against you with a big grin plastered on my face.
