This is just a test! This is a test of the journal writing system. If this had been an actual entry, it would have been way more interesting and might have contained some simblence of humor. Then again...maybe not. I'm way too tired to continue on with this silliness. I just wanted to make sure this all was going to work.

A real entry to come soon. I really am working on one i swear. :P

<3xoxohugs and lots of chocolate to you all.xoxo<3

*Looks around for Severus, damn! Where could he be? I'd love a hangover potion right about now. I knew i should have brewed my own*.

Greetings from the hungover potions mistress.

I just wanted to write and say happy New Year to you all! May 2012 be a much better year than the last. For those who wish it, I hope that this year is a great one. What I mean is, if you had a horrible year in 2011, may 2012 be your year. AS for me? Well, there are parts I definitely could have done without. It wasn't all bad of course but eep? Let's see if I can stay out of the hospital this year.

Amuch more thorough update to come when I find out how to get rid of the rampaging herd of hipogriffs that are running over my body. I'm making way too many typos to write any more. I'm finding myself making more corrections than I normally do and that's saying something.

Ok, taking my not so lively feeling self back to bed, after feeding Ozzy of course. Again, happy New Year!

<3xoxoxo Hugs to those who want them! xoxoxo<3

I honestly don't know what possesses me to do things sometimes. I know that may have sounded random but I assure you that it isn't, it was a legitimate statement.
Last night I for whatever reason decided it would be a good idea to stay on the phone with my ex, Chris till almost midnight. Maybe it has to do with the fact he hasn't called me in months and picked last night to call me to thank me for his gift. It wasn't much really, I only gave him my Harry Potter movies on DVD. I baught the box set on the day it was released and so I sent him my other originals as he wanted but couldn't afford them. I didn't mind sending them at all and I knew that Aryanna and Christian would enjoy them as well. Aryanna is 3 and Christian is turning 2 on December 22 but they are both little HP fans, I think it's cute. I know tis only right to thank a person for things but really, did I really need to spend all that time on the phone with him? I don't know what to think or feel about this. I miss him, not like miss him as in wanting to date him miss him, but he was well, is, considered to be one of my best friends. There are times i just want to pick up the phone and call him just to chat but I don't out of respect for his wife. It doesn't help that she doesn't like me either but there are just those times I want to say I don't care what she feels and call him. I however am not that kind of person. Not to mention my affections are elsewhere.
Chris began to talk to me about his pending divorce and the long road he will have ahead of him. He's happy that his marriage will be over and I feel bad for his children because they won't have their father whom they adore to know ends. He's an excellent father and will miss his children deeply. Alisha will be taking them with her back to Idaho and told Chris that if he wants to see them again he'll have to go to Idaho as she will never set foot in Georgia ever again. She once told him that if he loves them, he'll make the trip. i have absolutely no doubts that he will go to see them. My feelings twoards Alisha are...well...not so nice but I'll refrain from showing them at this time.
Anyway, this wasn't supposed to be about her, it was about my silly actions to talk to Chris on the phone forever last night. The Vamp keeps telling me i'm still in love with him but I know this not to be the case. Those feelings died a long time ago when he told me he had gotten married. Chris's feelings are not mine though, he is still in love with me and says he always has been and will be. He is still hoping I will go to him after his divorce is final and be a stepmother to Aryanna and Christian, he already refers to them as my stepchildren. No matter how many times I tell him that i can never be that to them, nor can I love him like i once did, he still has this hope that we will get back together.
UGH!!!!! WHY DOES LIFE HAVE TO BE SO DAMNED COMPLICATED!!!!!!! *Throws hands up in frustration*.

7:05 AM 12/17/2011

Yesterday I went to a Xmas party. It was actually sort of fun and there were a few requests for me to sing. I at first wasn't going to do it as I was so tired from work but finally I gave in and sang three songs. I found i miss going to karaoke. I also saw Johnny there as he was performing. I have missed him very much. He doesn't perform much in Mankato anymore and it saddens me. Last night he played at the Wine Cafe but as it was snowing to beat hell outside I decided to stay home instead... obviously as I wrote above about my long phone convo with Chris. Back to the party... Well, the whole time i was there I was question thoroughly about my knowledge of Magic Jack of which i have absolutely none. The only thing I know is that it costs like $20 a year and that it works through the computer using your internet. Personally i don't really care about Magic Jack if i am to be completely honest with myself. The food there was pretty good. They had Subway cater in sandwiches, that was pretty awesome as Subway is one of my most favorite places to eat. People had made different dishes to bring as well and having no lunch at work I was pretty hungry by the time i got there. I was in line getting food when someone said to me, Wow it looks like you are eating pretty healthy. They apparently looked at the many fruits and veggies on my plate...I just sort of chuckled as I have bene eating healthier for a while now. i just said yep and went on through the line. The party lasted about two and a half hours, it would have lasted longer but the snow was coming down pretty hard and people were wanting to get home.
After mostly everyone was gone, I made an atempt to escape out the door when there was a hand on my arm and a voice asking where do you think you are going? It was Johnny. I froze for a moment and then slowly turned around only to find arms encircling me. i hugged him back and rested my head on his shoulder for a few seconds before coming back to my senses. He said, "I've missed you." and then asks, "How have you been?" So that's how it went for about 30 minutes, us catching up on what the other had been up to. Before leaving, he gave me one last hug and I was able to make the great escape this time. It wasn't that I didn't wish to speak to him or maybe it was, I don't know. Writing about him just brings up a bunch of feelings i don't care to acknowledge anymore.

8:28 AM 12/17/2011

Today I will go and do a bit of Xmas shopping, at least that's the current plan. i haven't been out since yesterday so not sure how much more snow we aquired. In my eyes, any amount of snow is too much snow for me. I was never fond of the white stuff really.

Well, I suppose this is it for now. I'm not sure how I managed to come up with the will to write as I really didn't write a whole terribly lot about what's going on with me. I really need to try and update here more than I have been.

Oh and before I forget...I did create an LJ for my HP fanfiction. The url is http://gothiclily11@livejournal.com
I haven't started posting there as of yet but I will try once a week or so to post a chapter of the current fanfic i'm writing. I know a couple of you have asked to beta for me and i will consider it. I'm not used to having a beta so I'm not sure but I will definitely think about it. Thanks to those who have offered however.

With this said, I shall take my leave now.

<3Hugs to all<3

Good morning and a very happy Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate.

So on
  • Live Journal the question was asked, "What are you most thankful for?" I can't exactly say I'm thankful for one thing, I have many reasons to be thankful on this holiday. In no particular order, just to list some of them:

    Family
    Friends
    Music
    My health
    My job
    Good books to read
    Fanfiction
    The gift of song, (I have to acknowledge my singing, otherwise I may get my arse kicked.) LOL!
    Love, the ability to love and to be loved in return.
    The senses: sound, touch, smell and taste. My sight may not work anymore but I'm thankful for the senses that do work.
    I'm thankful for life, everyday that I wake up and the breaths I'm able to take.
    And one more thing to list, I'm thankful for Alan Rickman because without him I wouldnt' have a favorite actor. LOL! OH come on now, how many of you didn't think i'd put him in my list? And just a quick letter to Santa...

    Dear Santa,

    For Yule as I don't celebrate Xmas I'd like Alan Rickman under my tree. I don't wish to keep him, I would just like to borrow him just for a little while. You see I haven't been sleeping well and i'm sure that if i had him for only a little while I'd fall asleep to his rich velvety voice as he reads me bedtime stories. But In case you can't manage it, I'm thankful i have The Return Of The Native, the book he narrates, I suppose that will have to suffice. But if you can accomplish it for me, I promise to return him after a bit. Oh and i've been very naughty this year, sorry I just can't seem to behave myself. See? at least I was honest.

    Sincerely,
    Lily

    Hahah! Ok in all seriousness...

    I may not have bene so elaborate on the list I have made and there are so many more things I'm thankful for, but just because I didn't put them in my list does not mean I'm any les thankful. As I said above, i have many reasons to be thankful this day.

    I'd like to wish you all a happy Turkey Day if you celebrate it. I hope you eat lots of turkey and get extremely stuffed. I hope the time you spend with friends and family is lots of fun.
    As for my plans? it's off to a pot luck with friends and lots of food and people I've never met before. I always get nervous around those I don't know very well or those I've never met, after all first impression is everything. Although, i don't normally care about what others think of me, as long as I am myself right? *Shakes my head*, for the moment I won't think about it.

    All right, off to help with preparations for the day. I'll be back soon with another entry as I still owe you a review of Breaking Dawn do I not? *smirks*.

    <3Love and hugs to all those who want them<3

    Greetings everyone.

    I have been trying to write and post for about two weeks now but I can't seem to finish an entry. I'm not sure if i have journal burnout or what it is but whatever it is i hope it goes away. Writing has always been good therapy for me and it's bothering me that I can't seem to put my feelings into words lately.
    I'm wondering if it is because I have been feeling pretty negative about everything recently and i don't wish to bring everyone else into my bad moods.
    So I guess this little entry is just to say I'm still alive for those who have bene wondering where the potions mistress has been. Hopefully I will be able to write again soon.
    I'm not sure yet but I may be giving up LJ for good. I have been playing with wordpress and other journal sites to see if i like them any better. I'm not sure yet so those of you who have me on your friends pages, please don't delete yet, I'll let you all know what I'm doing with this journal as soon as I know. i have used LJ for many years and so I may just keep it for sentimental reasons, I'm just not sure. :P
    I have also been tossing around the idea of creating an lj for my fanfiction sense I don't relish the idea of posting on an actual fanfic site. I've been thinking about this for a while now. If I do this however I will have to make it an adult one only as my fics can get a bit...well...wild and I don't mean trouble wild. If I do this I'll let you all know that as well. Ok, I'm getting told I should so I am going to, I'll post the url here as soon as I get it created. :P

    Well I suppose I am going to take off for now. Breakfast calls and I'm not likeing trying to type on the laptop anymore. I have to keep correcting typos. LOL!

    Take care all, I'll try to write again soon.
    <3hugs and love to all<3

    Greetings to all who are reading this thing.

    Let me just place a little disclaimer here...

    DISCLAIMER!!!! This entry is full of rants and my thaughts and oppinions on a few subject matters, if you don't wish to read my thaughts and oppinions you may skip this entry. To those who's attention I have managed to capture and hold? Read on. END OF DISCLAIMER.

    I have put most of this behind cuts so that my friends don't have to read a really long entry or you can sskip what you don't wish to read.

    I started writing in this thing last Thursday so some of what you are about to read is not from today...obviously. *smirk*
    It was Wednesday for example that i left my cell phone at home and not Thursday. I felt so naked without it that I decided to be more observant when it comes to my phone. Now having said that, onward!

    Oh happy day, jokes for your reading pleasure...
    I particularly love the first one, corny, but cute. I love The Doors.

    Q: Why did chicken Jim Morrison cross the road? A: To break on through to the other side.
    Q: What is a tornado? A: Mother nature doing the twist!
    Q: What do you have if you have 100 rabbits in a row and 99 step back? A: A receding hare line!

    Fun Convos On Twitter )

    LOL! definite fun times on twitter were had Thursday. Thanks @irish_storm and @tweeting_frog for making my day at work. While I do love my job and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world, there are times when it becomes stressful. Rude passengers and passengers who you have to repeat things for over and over again can sometimes make you wish to pull your hair out. LOL! There are days when I'm surprised that I have hair as long as I do. LOL! Maybe it's a good thing that my hair goes past me bum, that way when I do pull my hair out, I have lots to spare. No, really I don't pull out my hair litterally. :P

    My quote for the day:
    The best relationships are when you can lay with each other and just talk about anything and everything.

    That quote is very very true. If you can't do that, then I think that there's something wrong. Being able to talk to the one you are with about anything and everything is the best feeling in the world, well one of the best feelings. Communication is key in any relationship.

    Links And Responses )

    You have been warned, or are about to be...

    Disclaimer: don't read this if you get offended by swearing )

    And I have just one more rant, for now...

    Death Penalty Rant )

    I was thinking I might put this behind a cut but it's to good to hide it. It makes a lot of sense if you think about it. I got this from my sister-in-law Sarah's facebook status.

    Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:-Knowing when to come in out of the rain; - Why the early bird gets the worm;- Life isn't always fair; - And maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies, don't spend more than you can earn and adults, not children, are in charge. His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife Discretion, his daughter Responsibility, and his son, Reason. He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights,I Want It Now,Someone Else Is To Blame,I'm A Victim.Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, do nothing.

    I was highly amused. LMAO!

    Well, i suppose I will go now. This entry has been long and took me just over five days to complete. I really need to sit and write and let you all know what's going on with me. I have just been so tired and haven't had a lot of energy lately. Living down here in the underground apartment I think is finally getting to me. I have been feeling sick and a bit weak and it's my belief that it could be due to the mold and bugs that you get from living in a basement. Living litterally six feet under was fun at first because of the jokes about my vampiric tendencies and because of who and what I am, but now I just am having a very hard time with this. That will soon be changing, yay! No matter where I move, I'm still me, a vampire and proud of that fact. :P
    In all seriousness, I will write again soon with a more serious entry and maybe less rants, it just depends on what I hear in the news.

    <3Hugs to all who read<3

    "Good friends are like stars. They are so far away but you know they are always there to give a twinkle during your darkest days."

    I love this quote. I would like to think that I am someone's star, and i'd twinkle for my friends anytime, Especially in the darkest of times. I love my friends as I see them as my family and would do just about anything for them. I shouldn't say I'd like to think that I am someone's star, I know that am a few people's star that I know of already.
    Always love and charish your friends for one day we will leave this earth for the next big adventure and you don't want to go not having let your friends know how you feel for them.
    So before I get all sappy and philosophical, on to the next subject...

    Always Remember To Forget

    Always remember to forget
    The things that made you sad
    But never forget to remember
    The things that made you glad.

    Always remember to forget
    The friends that proved untrue.
    But don't forget to remember
    Those that have stuck by you.

    Always remember to forget
    The troubles that have passed away.
    But never forget to remember
    The blessings that come each day.

    I got that in an e-mail the other day and wanted to share it with you all. To me it is very good advice. I sometimes forget to forget about the bad things and to remember the good. I'm thinking if I can think about the good and don't think about the bad, I would be a much happier person. Sometimes though I think that thinking about the bad helps us to remember the mistakes we made and this helps us to not repeat them, or i'd sure like to think so. Man there were a lot of thinks and thinking going on in that last thing I wrote about. :P

    To all who are in the path of Hurricane Irene, I hope you all stay safe and that you are all ok. To those who have already had her come through, I hope that you are all ok and that there wasn't too much damaged from the winds and rain. I can't imagine what it would be like to go through a hurricane. I used to live in Georgia and we got the remnants from one once and there was a lot of rain but nothing too bad. Anyway, again stay safe out there everyone. I read on Twitter that some people are having parties to pass the time while Irene makes her way through, there's one way to pass the time I suppose. LOL! Make the best of a bad situation, sounds fun to me.

    Well, I suppose I don't have too much more to say really. Hey, it happens. Sometimes I get on a writing kick and i can't seem to stop, and then there are those times like now when I don't have a lot to say. So for now, goodbye and I'll be around again later.

    <3hugs to all<3

    Greetings.

    First off I'd like to say that my heart goes out to all the people affected by yesterday's earthquake. I can't believe how many states were able to feel it. Thank God there were to my knowledge, no fatalities.
    Also to those who could quite possibly be in the path of Hurricane Irene, please be safe and be careful out there. I worry for those in New England *ahem* and of course for those that are in the path of the storm. My thaughts to you all. As I said, stay safe.

    It's been a while but here I finally am. Before I get to the what's been going on in my life part of this entry, I'd like to share this extremely amusing joke that I got from my coworker, Barb. Jason read it as well and he cracked up.
    For all of you who are fans of "the dark lord,"...erm...sorry, I mean President Obama, you may not wish to read what's behind the cut. If you are not an Obama fan, by all means proceed.

    Obama Joke )

    Sorry, I couldn't resist, I love it!

    My New Computer )

    I have been teaching myself how to use a MAC. So far it's not so bad. I'm thinking that I would love to use that instead of running Windows. I need to play with it more however before i make that decision final. It was funny though because I was on the regular windows laptop and I was trying to give it MAC commands. I was highly amused when I realized what I was doing. Yep, definitely time to get a MAC.

    I've got a new book that I wish to read, the problem for me is that it is in print. I need a scanner so I can scan it and read it. I'm all kinds of excited to read it! The book is simply called Alan Rickman. It's about his life and everything he has done and accomplished up to present. I can't wait!

    Doctor Visit )

    This past Saturday we went shopping at Wallie World (Wal-Mart.) I had to see if I could find some stuff for my bed, a bedbug kit. My doctor thinks that partly the infection was caused by bug bites and so we decided to try this to see if it would work. The thing is, no one is having this issue. Vampy doesn't have them in his room so we are pretty sure it is spiders. No one else has bites like this on their legs so it's just me. Damned spiders anyway. Anyway, we didn't find what I was looking for at Wal-mart for the bed but I did find some pillow protectors and I got those. I also got all kinds of excited because I found all five seasons of Daria on DVD plus two movies that were in the same case as all five seasons. It was really cheap too so I baught it. I also found this really ginormous bath towl that I just had to have. I somehow managed to lose my other huge one so I replaced it. We actually had to go to Shopco for the bedbug kit. It's alright though, at least I got it and it's on the bed. I'm still hoping one day to get my pillow top matress, not just a pillow top but a double pillow top matress. If I can't get a double pillow top, I'll settle for a single pillow top one.

    Well, I'm feeling very very frustrated and very unhappy at the present time and this entry has already taken me like three days to write so I'll close for now and write again when I have more to say.

    <3Hugs to all<3

    To all my readers.

    I come to you with a warning. I know this sounds ominous but I need to warn you all about a guy going by king cobra. I have no idea who he is and have never heard of him before today. I've never spoken with the dude and I'm not even sure how he got my e-mail address. If any of you get an e-mail from a cobra915@gmail.com don't read it! The guys a total creep!
    This is what the e-mail said...

    "Hey, would you like to sell me your panties?"

    That was all it said. I think that's creepy. I almost wanted to respond to him and tell him to take his fetish elsewhere but I figured that would only give him more fuel to keep messageing me so instead, I blocked him from being able to send me anymore messages. I don't have any issues with people having fetishes however, leave me out of it. I mean i have some of my own but still, I don't involve others in them. And there's no way in hell I'm going to sell some strange dude my panties. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg! Creepy dudes.

    Ok, I'm off, just wanted to come back and give you guys a heads up in case you get a message from that e-mail address.

    I was looking back on some of my older entries from a much older journal. It was a journal that i had from 2004. It was extremely painful to read as it covered a lot of Jim's last few months and days of his life. While reading however I came across an entry where i had posted the lyrics to Jim's favorite techno song. It was called Time Of Our Lives by Paul Van Dyk. At the time I couldn't understand why it was his favorite one. Don't get me wrong, Jim liked most techno accept for trance, but for some reason that was his favorite. It took me 7 years but I do believe after reading that particular entry I now know why it was so. If I know Jim like i do believe I do, then I am thinking I'm correct in my thinking.

    Time Of Our Lives :: Paul Van Dyk

    Genre: Dance

    there's a time for us to let go
    there's a time for holding on
    a time to speak, a time to listen
    there's a time for us to go
    there's a time for laying low-down
    there's a time for getting high
    a time for peace, a time for fighting
    a time to live a time to die

    a time to scream, a time for silence
    a time for truth, against the lies
    a time for faith, a time for science
    there's a time for us to shine
    there is a time for explaining
    there's a time to understand
    a time for hurt, a time for healing
    time to run to make a stand

    oh, this is the time of our lives X4

    Jim believed that life had a purpose. He believed that there was a time for everything and a reason. The only thing he didn't understand was why, why did him getting cancer and having to leave this world and me have to happen. He didn't believe in God but he did believe in a higher power. His higher power just happened to be Jonathan Davis from Korn. But I digress as I find myself doing a lot these days. Jim had so much happen in his life that this song would only make sense for him to have as his favorite.
    The lines from the song that stand out most in my mind are these...I have rearranged them to fit the order of things in my mind.
    "There's a time to scream, a time for silence." "A time for holding on." "There's a time for letting go." "A time to live, a time to die." And finally, "A time for hurt, a time for healing."
    I believe that These lines fit the way Jim was feeling. To scream, to hold on, to hurt, to let go and then finally acceptence of death, a time to die.
    For me, A time to scream, a time to hold on, a time to hurt, a time for silence, a time for healing and a time to live, in that order I think is what i take from this song. i realize that there's a time for everything as well and that I will never have the answers to why things happen but that song makes a lot more sense to me now. I thank Jim that he introduced me to that song. Jim is loved, missed and will never be forgotten. He will always have a place in my heart no matter what.

    I'm sorry for the sad entry but I felt that it had to be written, it's good therapy for me. I know it's been almost 7 years but the pain of him passing is always there, time heals all but it never fully takes the pain away. Yes i can go on and I do but in my mind, he's always there.

    Top o' the mornin to ya...

    Before I get to anything else in this entry I'd like to wish fellow lioness [identity profile] mccayla.livejournal.com a very very happy birthday! May you get everything you wish for and more. *hugs*

    I saw this quote on Twitter and wanted to share it with you all. It makes a lot of sense if you think about it
    "Chances are like lightning; they never hit the same spot twice. So when a chance comes your way grab it, cuz it may never come again."
    I love this quote, it's one that makes me do some thinking and thinking is dangerous for me to do. LOL! It gets me into too much trouble.

    My birthday this past Tuesday was really fun! It actually took me two days to celebrate it. This was probably the best birthday I have had in a very long time.

    Birthday Part I )

    Birthday Part II )

    Now i'm here at work waiting for the end of the day. I'm extra excited to get home this afternoon as I get to help with building my brand new computer. It's something I have never done before and I can't wait to see how it's done and to see if i can actually help or if it's mostly visual. Jim used to build computers and he was totally blind too, so I think this should be no problem. i know there may be somethings I can't do but there are things I can. That is if they haven't made things more complicated. :D.

    I seriously don't know what's wrong with our passengers today but some of them are making me want to pull my hair out. LOL! I had one call in earlier and she scheduled a ride for tomorrow at 9:00 am. So I told her that she'd have to be at our office by 8:30 for check-in. She was like ok, but then she tells me, "Well I will try to be there by that time. If i oversleep I'll call you and let you know." I told her ok thanks, we'll see you tomorrow morning. but what I was really wanting to tell her was, Ok but if you miss your shuttle because you have overslept it's not our fault. We have to get other passengers to their flights as well so we can't be waiting around for you while you decided that you wanted to sleep in late. You just can't be mean to the passengers though. Then, I had another one call in who wanted to take our 3:30 shuttle this afternoon. He said he wanted to be picked up at MSU and so I told him ok it will be in between 3:00 and 3:15 when the driver gets there to pick you up. He then proceeds to tell me, "Well I don't know if I can make it for that time, if I can't I'll come to your office." So I asked him, "Do you just want the driver to meet you at our office then? That way he doesn't have to make an unnecessary trip." Dude then says, "No, he can come here but I just don't know if I'll make it. If I can't I'll come to the office." Well as you all know, the customer is always right so I left it at that. After hanging up the phone from that one, I was ready to pull out my hair. :P

    So, just for a bit of amusement...
    @CBSNews: RT @markknoller: Pres Obama says the recent deficit/debt stalemate could have been
    avoided "if there had been a willingness to compromise in Congress."
    My response to this?
    Gee you think? Hello Mr. Dumbass! Thank you for stating the obvious. All hail to the dark lord! *insert sarcasm here*.
    Oops? Can I get into trouble for that statement? Oh damn, I need to be more careful of the things I say don't I? *laughs*.

    Alright, I'm off. It's after two and I should go and prepare to do my end of the day work. So off to post before I take off. Later darlings.

    Greetings from the Potions Mistress.

    Some awards information for those that are in to that kind of thing...

    I picked up these first three links from @HarryPotterView on Twitter. The fourth link comes from @twilight. I must say, The Teen Choice Awards were quite boring this year, at least in my oppinion...I was surprised to see that Taylor Swift one the Ultimate Choice Award this year. They also had the teen's choice vampire award which went to Robert Pattinson, no surprise there. It almost would have bene cool to see Alexander Skarsgard when the vampire award though. I love Eric Northman, he crakcs me up. True Blood FTW! Yes i still love and probably always will love the Twilight vamps but They've got nothing on the True Blood Vamps when it comes to the way the legendary vampires are. Yes Edward Cullen is still the most romantic vampire I know but yeah...enough said. :P
    If you'd like to read more, check out these four links. I seriously doubt I'll be watching next year. I will watch the MTV Movie Awards but not the teen choice ones. The MTV Movie Awards are way more exciting.
    And for all of your Hp news follow @HarryPotterView on twitter and for Twilight, follow @twilight.

    So I'm sitting here at work and feeling like I'm going to fall asleep. I'm not exactly sure why as I did sleep ok last night. I think this is the main reason I'm writing, hoping it will keep me awake. Of course the phones have been keeping me on my toes so it's all good. I still have an hour and 45 minutes before i'm off and i have already had to run more credit cards today then I ever have the whole time i have worked here. Fun times...:D

    LUNCH BREAK!!!!!
    *Disapparates*

    Lunch break over...
    *Apparates back in*

    So tomorrow is my birthday. Yay me, BLAH!! I have no idea what I'm going to do to celebrate it. I'm not one for celebrating it anymore actually. I don't know if it has to do with my age or not but I really just don't see the big deal. I mean I'm turning 37 for Merlin sake. I sometimes feel much older than my years and my mother says that's not good. :D.
    It's all the drivers have been talking about here at work, my birthday. I think I'm working tomorrow but then after there was talk of going to see Hp and the Deathly Hallows part 2 again. I'd be up for that. I know that Chris, one of the AARMS workers wanted to take me out too. I could go to Mexican Village and get a free birthday dinner if I wanted. I guess it all depends on how I feel. If I feel the way I do right now, that's not happening. Neither trip is happening. I don't wish for my stomach to interfere with my fun. :P.

    Ok well I guess I have nothing more to say right now so I'll end this and get it posted before I have to head for home. I'll be back when I have something else to write about.

    <3<3<3Hugs to all<3<3<3

    "Each of us is a star. Sometimes we shine with the rest. Sometimes we twinkle alone. Sometimes we make someone's wish come true."

    Hello reders,

    I thaught I'd start this entry with the above quote. I was feeling a bit philosophical I suppose. Wow such a big word I know. LOL! And before you other sarcastic peoples get any ideas to make a sarcastic remark, yes i do use them all the time, big words that is. LOL! And there's no way you can out sarcasm the queen of sarcasm herself. Alright, don't mind me too much, I'm in a strange mood.

    I'm craving vegitables in the worst way, or is it with a passion? Yep definitely have lost it. I want veggies, I do believe that subs are in order. I can get my veggies that way.

    Ok, on a more serious note, I wanted to talk a bit about feelings in here. This has been bothering me for some time now and I wasn't going to write about it but I feel i need to get this out.
    Question, what do you do when someone has feelings for you but you don't feel the same way? You once did but you have told the person that you just want to be friends and that's all but the other person still wishes to be more?
    This question has been on my mine for some time now and I still don't know the answer. I mean the person can't help the way they feel anymore than you can help the way you feel. I'm of course refering to myself and I shall not name the other person, I will keep that private. I'm just not sure what to do.
    This person is funny and all around a good person but when he gets upset, nothing you say matters. Friendship it seems doesn't matter. I'd like to be friends with this person but I'm beginning to wonder if it's something that can happen knowing the way he feels. I mean I have expressed a number of times that friendship is all I want but...*throws hands up in frustration*. I don't know, hopefully it will work itself out. If we can't be friends then it was cool knowing him for as long as I did.

    On another note that's filled with lots of awesomeness...

    I got one of my best friends back! This is a good thing as I have missed him terribly. He and i have made our peace and this is definitely a good thing. I am happy for his engagement and wish him and his fiancee all the luck and happiness in the world.

    There are a couple of links for you to check out if you are so inclined. They were things that interested me so I thaught i'd share.

    I was sad when this space shuttle exploded, i didn't know the people on it but nevertheless it was still a very sad day. But after all of this time to have found a piece of it, that's kind of cool and sad at the same time.

    A piece of debris from a space shuttle that disintegrated during a mission 8 years ago has been discovered in Texas: http://yhoo.it/p6U0HC

    Really, all I can say about this one, is poor guy.

    Indian man checks into a hospital with stomach pain, finds out he has a female reproductive system http://bit.ly/qQVNb1

    I'm not surprised...I will say no more on this matter.

    A little-known Chinese ratings agency has downgraded the rating of the United States from A+ to A: http://yhoo.it/pxyhg7

    And now for some much needed humor...

    Hahahah! I found that joke highly amusing.
    And now to post this pointless entry...I hope you found something in it you liked anyway.

    I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack...

    Yep, two entries in one day. Hey it's been done before. I don't normally do this but there are things I feel i have to post.

    WTF? This just can't happen...and yes, it is true, it has bene checked out on http://www.snopes.com
    I don't know about you, but I sure as hell don't wish to pay a 1% fee everytime I go and make a withdraw or put a deposit into my bank. It's complete and utter shite. To learn what I am ranting about read this...

    1 Percent Transaction Fee )

    I don't know about you but after reading that, I'm extremely unhappy with the situation. All i have to say is, "The dark lord...isn't...resting." Hahaha, one of my favorite lines from Harry Potter & The Order Of The Phoenix. Ok so I probably shouldn't have said that but damn it! It almost makes me wonder what's next? Or maybe I don't really want to know. I think I'll move to Ireland. :P

    Today is sort of a sad day for me. Today would have been the 29th birthday of Jim. I miss him so badly and it still hurts that he is not with us anymore. Yes I know that time is supposed to heal and it has to a point but there are times when I still wish he were here. There are those that say I should have gotten over him by now because I can't bring him back. I'm aware of this. I know that know matter how much I wish it, he can't come back. I know he's gone but it doesn't stop the pain. I still do and will always love him no matter what anyone says or thinks. His time on this earth was way too short, it isn't fair.
    It's days like today, the day we got married and the day of his death that really get to me big time. Yes I know he's in a much better place and that he's not hurting anymore, he's not sick and fighting for his life, and that I can find comfort in.
    Happy birthday Jim! I love and miss you. I hope that where ever you are, you are partying hard.

    Love, me.

    Well, this is all for now. I'll be back again soon. Have a wonderful evening to you all, or depending on your time zone, evening/morning/night/afternoon.

    Good afternoon readers, and what a good afternoon it is.

    Just a quick update on my going home situation...
    I AM FREE!!! Yes that's right, I'm going home! I couldn't be happier about this.

    So it's off to home to see poor Ozzy who has bene going nuts with out me there, then off for a reeal shower, then off to see Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2, then to get some real food and then finally to get some groceries. After that it's back home again to get some much needed uninterupted sleep.

    They tried to keep me one more day just to get one more day in of antibiotics but my face musst have fallen because the doctor asked me if I wanted to go home today. I nodded my head and he was like ok, I'll send you home today. I kept thinking that my counts did exactly what they wanted them to do so why are they going back on their word? I understand they want to make sure I'll be alright and that I won't end up back here any time soon, I really do get that but man, I wanna go home. Believe me, I don't want to come back here any time soon either. I like the staff here and they were all really nice but it's time for me to fly. Maybe I'm being a bit immature about this but I'm tired of being poked and prodded. When the lab comes in and starts missing veins it's definitely time to let them heal. One day when they had to change my IV because it started leaking, they had to try like 6 times before they finally got one decent one to work. Yep, I'm definitely done. LOL! Honestly I'd stay if they wanted me too but it didn't seem like any big deal so home I go.

    Ok, I'm off. I'll write again soon.

    Good morning readers,

    Here, have a quiz...



    Your Gaelic Name is Kaelan Tynan



    Time is a good story teller




    Hm, I love the first name anyhow. LOL! I love Gaelic names. I just wish I could speak the language fluently. I have never found anyone patient enough to teach me who knows how to speak it. It's a very interesting and beautiful language.

    So, I'm waiting for the results of my labs to come back to see if I get to get out of here today. Come on WBC! (white blood count). Play nice for me please? I really wanna go home and take a real shower and see my cat. I miss Ozzy. I also miss my bed, I mean this one's ok but nothing beats one's own bed and pillows. Alright, off to order breakfast, I'll write again as soon as I know if I'm being released.

    Dear readers,

    So right now the life of one potions mistress is sort of sucking at the moment. Why do you say that you maybe asking? Answer? I have been residing at the lovely Mayo hotel. Wait did I say hotel? I meant hospital, and have been here ever sense this past Tuesday evening.

    It all started Tuesday afternoon at work. Well technically, if you want to get technical about it, it started last Thursday night with me waking up in the middle of the night with chills, an achy body and feeling feverish. All I could think was, Oh dear God, I'm getting sick. And I did. When I woke up on Friday morning, I figured I'd try going to work anyway and if I felt bad I'd just come home. Jason, my boss sent me home at noon with strict instructions to get well. I ended up sick the whole weekend long. On Sunday however, I noticed that my left leg was swollen something aweful. I ignored it because of the fact it was swollen for a bit and so I didn't think anything of it really. I mean I knew it wasn't normal but I figured what could be wrong? Ha! I found out on Tuesday...When Monday rrolled around, I felt somewhat better and took off the day just to make sure. On Tuesday, I got up, went to work and made it the whole day. At the end of the day, I got all of my stuff packed up and ready to roll home. While waiting for my ride, Debra to get there, I got super dizzy and felt as if I was going to pass out. I knew then it was time to go and get things checked out, as if anyone would have let me do otherwise. LOL! I first went to Urgent Care where I was looked at. They took one look at my left leg and said you need to go to the er, so off I went. The ER doctor came and looked at my leg and ordered some blood to be taken so we could try and see things that way. They doctor decided that I needed to be hooked to an IV and get some antibiotics. The labs revealed that I had an infection. They believe it is from spider bites but it was pretty bad. He then told me that I was going to have to be admitted so that they could take care of things. I reluctantly agreed. Before I was taken, the doctor asked me if I had any questions for him. My question was, "Can I go home?" He said yes but that he wouldn't recommend it, so I went to the hospital and have been here ever sense.

    So, over the course of the past few days, it was found out that I was dehydrated and so was given fluids to fix that. I have an infection in my left leg that is getting better. The docs say it looks much better. One of the problems unfortunately is that my WBC, (white blood count) is too high and my doctor said he couldn't understand why. So to try and fix this, he has put me on a stronger IV antibiotic. On Thursday, yesterday that is, my first IV decided it wanted to leak. My nurse at the time fixed it once but it didn't hold so it was decided that they would change it. This meant more needles, more pain and more of my being sarcastic. I ended up poked like 6 times before they finally got it right. I suppose I should have let them put the damn thing in my hand in the beginning and we wouldn't have had this issue. But oh no...I just had to have it anywhere but my hand. Well you know what? I ended up with the cursed thing in my hand anyway. I guess it was it's way of teasing me and saying, hahaha, I win bitch. LOL!

    There was some talk that I was possibly going to get to go home today but that didn't happen at all. My counts were too high and the doctor wanted to have a leg ultrasound done to make sure I didn't have a blood clot. I haven't heard the results of that yet but my nurse told me she read that it was negative. She wasn't supposed to tell me that, that is technically the doctor's job but oh well. I told her that I wouldn't tell. It took a worry off my mind though. So the new thing is, if things are well and my counts are down, I can go home tomorrow. So here's hoping for a low wbc!

    Today two of my co-workers came to see me. Barb and Preston. Preston braught me flowers which were from everyone at Land To Air. I thaught it was very very sweet. I work with some very very awesome people. Jason has called numerous times as well to see how I am doing.

    Alright, I'm getting a bit tired so going to end this for now. I can't wait to get out of here and get home. I miss Ozzy, I miss my bed, I need a decent shower and I get to go see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. Night readers.

    <3<3<3hugs and stuff<3<3<3

    Guten Abend
    Good evening

    This may possibly be the shortest journal entry i have ever written. I'm not sure but I think it will be.
    I just wanted to say happy 4th to you all. I hope it's a fun and safe one for you. Hopefully if you had picnics and gatherings with your friends and family that you had lots to eat.

    i do believe I shall be doing what I triditionally do on this day, watch Twilight, the first one and eat food from somewhere we order from. That was something that got started in 2009, watching Twilight and ordering from somewhere. No need to go and watch the fireworks, we can hear them from our house. i don't really see the point in going to where they are setting them off simply because i can no longer see them. So why go and try and fight crowds when i can do exactly from my house what i will be doing there? Listening. :D

    Well, this ended up not being the shortest entry I have ever written. Guess I'll have to try harder. LOL!
    I'm off, I'll be back again laters when I have something more to write about. Good night for now.

    <3<3<3hugs to all<3<3<3

    Guten Morgen, Nachmittag, oder Abend je nach Zeitzone,
    Good morning, afternoon or evening depending on your timezone.

    There, that covers everything. LOL! i mean it covers all time zones I hope?...I don't know...I'm so tired...stayed awake a lot of last night...I went to work today and thaught I was going to fall asleep but managed to stay awake...somehow I'm still awake now but soon I shall head to bed. I know, sounds like i'm rambling but I don't really care. LOL! Actually you know what? I'm going to go to sleep...I'll finish this entry tomorrow just as soon as I can manage to drag my arse out of bed or until my cat decides that I'm not allowed to sleep anymore. Good night for now.

    *disapparates*

    *apparates in*

    yeah yeah, good morning and happy hump day to you all who are reading. So to continue from where i left off from yesterday...
    It's a miracle! Ozzy decided that I could sleep as long as I wanted to this morning, so I laid in bed until my body said get out of bed, it's morning. So after doing my morning routine and some breakfast which contained some leftover pizza and some yogurt, here i am, working on trying to finish writing this entry.

    Well, after a day of doing my show on Mojo Radio and getting things prepared for work, I do not have time to finish this entry tonight. I did try, I really did.
    I don't understand why everytime we go to the grocery store it has to take like three or more hours to shop. I imagine because we read labels and things like that it does take longer. I am a bit upset however at the fact that Cub Foods downtown doesn't have a big selection of organic foods and we couldn't find the organic fruits and vegetables. I guess I'll have to stick to going to Hi-vee on the hilltop. They have a huge organic foods section and an entire section for gluten free foods as well. Either that or I will have to atempt to go to St. Peter and go to the food Co-op to shop. though I did find some banana juice in there small organic foods isle. I have never tried banana juice before but i figure it's just like eating a banana right? I'll have to let you all know what i think of it after I try it.

    The other night i had this crazy dream. Apparently there must have been something in the food that Vampy and i ate that night because he drempt something strange as well.
    My Dream )
    I would have loved to have seen what was going to happen after that however my favorite four-legged feline who shall not be named...Ozzy decided I didn't need to sleep anymore. Damn...! It's not like i can go back to sleep and go back to the same dream either. If only we could...I'm going to stop that line of thaught now. LOL!

    Well, i'm hungry and so I will go find food. I have to work in the morning as well. I will say good night again and hopefully i can finish this from work tomorrow.

    *disapparates*

    *aparates in*

    Alright, I am determined to finish this today!

    This past Sunday season four of True Blood started! Soooo exciting! We watched the first episode and wow, there is sooooo much going on already! Although right now Bill and Sookie aren't together, I'm really hoping that they get back together. Eric has his sights set on her however and has stated to her that she is his. Hm, and how is Sookie going to get out of this one? Sookie says she is done with vampires but is she really or can the new king, Bill Compton win her heart back again? Or will the cunning Eric Northman win her affections this time around? Personally I'm hoping that it's Bill, i love Eric a lot but for dating purposes, I'm cheering for Bill.

    Ok so as most of you know I've got a bit of an obsession with one certain Alan Rickman who is an amazing actor and did I mention a voice that can make one melt even when he is trying to sound angry. In my oppinion Alan Rickman's voice is red wine, bittersweet chocolate and crushed rose petals wrapped up in a velvet box. Yummy...*gets far away dreamy look in eyes*. *Snaps back to reality*. So I learnred via @HarryPotterView on Twitter that he is going back to broadway. I'd love to go and see him perform! I think that would be an amazing experience. He is very talented and it would be really awesome to see him at work in person instead of just on screen. If you'd like the deatails you can go here...

    Alan Rickman Returns To Broadway In Seminar

    And don't forget, you can follow @harryPotterView on Twitter for all of the latest Harry Potter news and news about your favorite actors/actresses.

    If you'd like to hear him sing and you want to know what my current ring tone is on my cell phone, you can go here and check him out...I have no idea what he is saying but I still think it's beautiful. All I know is that he is singing in French. And the other thing I know is that he sings it in the book he narates called The Return Of The Native. It's a good book at least i think. I liked it so much I'm reading it again.

    Alan Rickman Singing In French

    I was right, beautiful huh? *grins*. Well even if you didn't think so, I still do. After all, we are all entitled to our own oppinions. LOL!

    And just a health tip for those who would like one. I look at these things and based on what I read and research, I do try and change my eating and drinking habbits and I don't mean alcohol either. :P

    10 Worst Drinks For Your Body )

    And that my friends is it! I did finally finish this entry! This was a pretty long one actually, wow. I'm not sure if I'll write again during the fourth of July weekend so from me to you just in case i decide not to or if I am too busy, hey it could happen...I hope you all have a safe and happy fourth!

    With love, yeah yeah so unsnape like....
