Rock'n'Roll Trivia:
( Yesterday's Answer )


Great job to excused_early   !!!

In 1957, Elvis Presley, shown from the waist up only, made his final appearance on what television program?



...

and on to some other stuff

...

Went to the doc today, finally! He's not 100% sure what is going on, but he suspects a wheat gluten allergy. I have to document everything  I eat, and take my blood pressure twice a day. At some point, I need to have a gluten-heavy meal and document how I feel. I'm holding off on this until Saturday, so that I don't have to worry about work if it makes me really sick. *crosses fingers* I hope we have this figured out!

THIS makes me really angry. The responses to that person's post are the kind of responses that kill fan communities. People are so aggressive and rude to fellow fans that it makes other fans afraid to post and communities die. Nobody wants to hear from the same 4 people over and over again. If you don't like something, that's fine, but don't be an asshole about it. Sometimes, the Gackt fandom reminds me soooo much of why I quit the Hanson fandom, and it makes me sad. Fortunately, I have made some great friends through both, so not all is lost. (Also, is Gack'ts English really that difficult to understand? I thought he did pretty well... although, I do have a lot of experience with interpreting heavy accents)

Sorry to rant!

Have a pretty:



Thanks to lady_irena  for the original scan!

I've suddenly been slapped in the face with inspiration form a billion different directions. I'll be trying very hard not to spam everyone over the next few days!

For now, I'm just working on putting everything together...Until then, let's continue:

Rock'n'Roll Trivia!

In 1991, MTV banned which Number One Madonna song due to its daringly scorching video?

I just got done reading this fanfic and I really loved it! Yes the story is a couple years old and the grammar is rather horrendous in that the author doesn't know the difference between 'whole' and 'hole' and spelling errors abound, but beyond all that.

Summary: "Has anyone ever questioned why we follow societies norms? Why do we as a society try and ostracize the few that generally just stand out from the normal flow"

Genre: AU Rating: R Pairings: Bill/Tom Disclaimer: Obviously I don't own 'em, only in my dreams. Comments: I haven't written anything in a long while, this just kind of came to me and my muse has continued with it. So we shall see what comes. This hasn't been beta-ed, so if there are any mistakes they are mine. Feel free to point them out and I'll be happy to fix them. Also any mistakes you see in Tom's speech, it's suppose to be like that. He doesn't know perfect English.

( after that night... )

Only where I live can it go from being upper 50s  to suddenly low 30s plus wind! Sitting at working huddle around our heater and still able to see my breathe in the air, I hate cold weather!!!!! 
Welcome stuffed up/runny noses and cramping hands (I've got poor circulation).

I have yet to hear back from 'the email' I sent the other day, so no news...good news? 

~*~*~

How is that on my one day off where I had plans to do chores and other what-nots that we all just tend to put off, I hurt myself!!!!

When I was bending over in the bathroom to pick up a pile of dirty clothes for laundry, my back gets messed up! 
I'm 20 much too young for back problems!!!!
I was in bed for the rest of the day with a heating pad and tylenol for company. Mom had to finish that load of laundry, I refused to try anything else or I might make it worst since I don't know what I did.

Today, thankfully I am better after sleeping on a heating pad all night. Thinking I just...did something to muscles or something...I'm not very good with medical stuff.

School starts up on the 10th! I'm excited. *eyes list of unfinished things*  I better get working!

 I think I probably have done one of the stupidest rash decisions I have made in a good long time! I can still feel myself going with the 'Oh shit' feeling going through me.

----
A little background to understand why. I have an older half-brother that I have never met nor was ever allowed any form of communication between us. He was the only son of my dad's wife, who he later divorced....I think my mother was the 'other woman', it has never been discussed between me and her.
Anyways, my father died when I was 5 (please don't do the pity thing). I have never missed him, how can I when I never knew him. When he died, in his obituary it stated he left behind 2 children. That was the first time it was made known to me and supposedly my half-brother, I was the dirty little secret. His mother never allowed us to know each, my mother could have cared less.

Beyond all this, sort of history. I have somewhat started emails between me and my grandfather, he is my father's side so he is related to my half-brother. I got an email a while back that was sent out enmass and I noticed a name I recognized, it was my half-brother. So of course I saved it and have been batting back and forth if I should email him......haven't been able to decide if it would do any good. I have come to the conclusion, 'what could it hurt as I have nothing to loose nor anyone that it could hurt other then myself.'

So I have sent it just now........still feeling uneasy. I can tolerate rejection, I just normally don't allow myself to be open to it..........
*crossesfingers* 

I am finally about to sit down for long periods of time without being called to do this or that, or called into work a moments notice!!

Earlier this week, one of my co-workers got fired on her day off! She got caught stealing by one of the owners, we have thought she was for awhile but could never prove it. No clue how long she has been doing it as she has been their for over 7-years. Because she got fired in the middle of the week and during a busy time for us, it threw our entire schedule for both stores completely into chaos. Been working crazy hours and having to deal with drunks and just annoying tourist >_<

I start school on the 11th, kind of excited because I have been bored shitless these past couple months that I have been out of school but then I am worried that I wont be able to get into the swing of things. Plus I still need to get books and a voice-recorder, lots of money that I don't really have. 

My laptop has been on the wonky lately, with the charging port liking to aggravate me and now I really need to wipe it clean and restart it from fresh. I don't wanna because I have so much that I need to save and plus a lot of programs that I'll have to list for me to redownload. Getting the charging port fixed I know is going to cost a pretty penny because it's either half-way fried or the circuits are shorting out, one or the other.  
Have been looking at getting a new laptop, save money cost this way but I am so damn picky that I have just having a hard time finding anything I like. The only thing I do know is I am NOT getting a damn Dell, I hate 'em! All of my laptops have been Dell's and they are just a pain in the ass to upkeep and expensive. Sony's are expensive and Toshiba's I have been iffy on.

New Years!!! 

I have started decided to start on a clean slate! No guy troubles and no girl drama! I have gone through my phone contacts and deleted everyone I haven't talked to in over a year, I feel very...cleansed! I am determined to be more content this year and not worry so much, I do worry just tend to hide it well from others.

***
Been getting a lot more writing done and thankfully my muse has been rather active!

Hope everyone has a wonderful start to the New Years and that it continues well!!!!!!

there is possibly a series of these coming, since i got a new camera for christmas.

this one was taken this morning.

( thinking of quatre )

Happy 2010 to all on my FList!

I hope you had a wonderful celebration and started the new year with only positive feelings and resolutions.

I spent the night at my mother's. We ate Shabu-Shabu and I'm afraid that I managed to drink so much, that I got properly sloshed. >.> Haven't done that in years. Then again, I didn't have to drive, so it was ok. We lit up fireworks and toasted the new year and had lots of fun. The girl-child spent the night at a friend's house instead of with us, but that was ok, too. It would have been terribly boring for her to spend the evening with parents and grandparents instead of with her school-friends. :)

Though I didn't make any New Year's resolutions - I don't stick to them at all - I did think about re-arranging my daily schedule, so as to have more time for creative endeavors. I'm going to try using Outlook's scheduling system to divide up my day into blocks of time for writing, for office work, for creative work and other things. We'll see how that goes. :)

Now I'm going to do a little computer gaming, and then probably hit the sack early, since I didn't really sleep all that well last night... ^___^

*HUGS ALL*

I look forward to sharing 2010 with all of you!

Number of Fics (over 1000 words) = 13
Number of Fliclets (over 500 words) = 8
Number of Drabbles (under 500 words) = 31

Of those, I wrote 31 in Harry Potter, 10 in Gundam Wing, 5 in Merlin, 4 in Prince of Tennis, 3 in Supernatural and 1 in South Park.

Total words = 50456

So yeah, I basically did NaNo in a year instead of a month ^^;;

It's clear I favor writing shorter things. The longest piece I think was 6000 words, which isn't really that much either. I'm sure I used to write a lot more than this but in review I wrote more than I thought I did. There are more fandoms there than any other year, I think, which is fun, writing different characters and universes.

I should be good and write something to kickstart 2010 ^_^ and now that we are in the 2010 subject (is gonna take a while to get used to not typing the two zeros)...

Happy New Year Everyone!

♥

Happy New Year everyone!

*huggles everyone tightly*
