The girl next door

Since I've worked almost every weekend since I was 14, I forgot what it was like to actually look forward to them! Now, I work Friday mornings from 9 - 3, then I have the rest of Friday off, I have ALL DAY Saturday off, and I don't have to work until 5 PM on Sundays! I almost feel like a normal person, it's fantastic!!!

A few Saturdays ago we went to a corn maze. I've always wanted to go to a corn maze. We planned on going at night, and we waited until a week when it was going to be a full moon. It was awesome! The corn was really tall and REALLY dense. It was dark and quiet and creepy and we didn't see, or even hear anyone else until the very end when we crossed paths with a group of people. It reminded me of Tri-wizard Tournament hedge maze the end of the 4th Harry Potter movie. It was sweet! Definitly one more thing to look forward to doing every fall from now on.

Also, check out these pumpkins we carved!

This one was mine:

And this one is Steve's:

…the neat thing is…they’re fake!

They look just like real pumpkins, and they are close to the same price as real pumpkins, and you can use the same carving saws and carve them just like real pumpkins! The only difference is they aren’t filled with gross goo and they will last forever!

The weather has so nice and fall-y lately. I can't believe it's already November.

DJ Hero is NOT fun.
At all.

Just in case you were wondering.

Check out how sweet this is!!!

Steve is really, REALLY good at researching how to mod video game systems.

This is our Wii home menu:

Then, if you click on that channel in the upper left, you get this:

That is a cover flow display of all of the Wii games we have copied to an external USB hard drive that is attached to the Wii. We currently have about 75, but we are working on adding as many as we can possibly get our hands on. All you have to do is pop in a disk and hit a button, and in about 15 minutes the game is copied. Then, you hit another button, and it automatically downloads the box art. That's it. Or you can always download the Wii game roms on the computer and transfer them if one prefers to take that route. It's amazing how easy Nintendo makes it for you to steal their shit! No tools or mod chips required. Thanks for that SD card slot and USB port nintendo!

Oh, and as far as WiiWare goes, we downloaded those too. All of them.

They found the bastards who stole our car!
Between 8 - 10 cars were stolen from my works parking lot in the last 6 months, the most recent belonging to my boss. Her car was missing for about 2 weeks before it was recovered.
I was talking to the detective today and he said that they had an undercover operation going for the last few weeks and they were able to positively ID some people who were running a car theft ring responible for over 50 stolen vehicles.
So that's pretty awesome.

Speaking of awesome, we watched the first and second seasons of Dexter.
They were great. I can't wait for the new season to start. I read the manga series Deathnote this summer, and loved that also. The 2 are very similar.

The porn on Showtime is pretty good...but only because it has a good plot.
Seriously.
It stars the guy from the Extenze commercials.
Also seriously.

I wish it starred Michael C Hall.

...two can keep a secret if one of them is dead

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 06:55:36 GMT

There are ad banners and crap all over my LJ. When did that happen? I don't like it.

I've never watched the show Dexter, but we have been watching Showtime alot lately and I keep seeing commercials for it. The guy on it is attractive, and I REALLY like the music they play during the commercial for the new season. Is it wrong that those things are enough to make me want to start watching it?

I wish there weren't such big gaps between olympics. I had fun watching them this summer.

I'm glad summer's over. I'm ready for Hallo'weekends and cider mills!

Yay!

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 07:13:24 GMT

So what about how the Penguin's goalie scored the game winning goal?

This is SO NEAT!!!

Guitar Hero: On Tour!!! Coming summer 08

You can't see it, but there is an adorable little guitar pick stylus that slides in there!

Seriously.

Mon, 05 Nov 2007 01:59:27 GMT

What about how freakin' adorable Steve and Mike's baby sister is.

Where am I right now? Who are you people?

Mon, 03 Sep 2007 08:44:44 GMT

I got inked!

OMG!

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii !!!

The Nintendo Wii is awesome.
We've only played Wii Sports so far, but the motion sensor controller is sooo much fun to play with...baseball and boxing are the best.
It's really neat because both the remote and the nunchuck controllers are motion sensor.

And the best part is that I was once again able to purchase a video game system with bottle cap currency.

It only cost 667 Coke caps!

AND we've still got enough caps saved up for a PS3 (as soon as our name comes up on the waiting list) and some games and accessories.

I'm never paying cash for another video game as long as I live.

236 days away!

I can't sleep.

I was going to do an entry of some substance, but I changed my mind.

Who's agitatin' my dots?

Sun, 25 Jun 2006 23:48:25 GMT

Ummmm...I haven't written in here in so long, I'm not sure what to say.

Cedar Point a few weeks ago was awesome. It was the least crowded I have ever seen it.
Ever.
And I went 12 times last summer.
The longest we waited was for the Dragster and the line was only 45 minutes. The Millenium Force was a half hour. Everything else was 15 minutes. It was amazing. It was a beautiful day...no chance of rain but not too hot. I guess it pays to go before all the kids are out of school.
Steve and I took the French chick with us.
I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure she hated it.
I thought the new ride, The Skyhawk, looked kinda lame...yeah, it's terrifying.
I can't wait to go back.

Playing softball last week was also tons of fun. I hope we can do it again soon.

And bowling.
Ben is the most hilarious thing I have ever seen.

And miniature golf.

And a waterpark of some sort.

And horseback riding!

Damnit!
I wish I worked less. There is sooo much stuff I wanna do this summer...I'm afraid I'm going to wake up one morning and it's going to be the end of August and I'm going to feel I have accomplished nothing. That tends to happen alot.

Oooh!
I played a DS Lite today.
IT'S PHENOMENAL!!!

Also, Brain Age is fun.
Break 'Em All is not.

My hair is exactly down to my butt crack.
I really should cut it.

Ummm...what else?

Oh! I have a car again!
This time, I'll try to be better at not smashing into things.
But it's fast...and I like it.
I should begin saving now for the speeding tickets I'm sure I'll be getting soon.

Speaking of smashing into things, I have a bump on the side of my head and I don't know how it got there.

Man...for not having much to say, this got really long, really fast.
I shall end it now.

**EDIT**
Don't call or text message me. My phone is broke. Again.
If you see me carrying it around, that's because I use it for the clock.
My watch is also broke.

That is all.

...it's like a half dozen of one, 10 of the other

Pet peeve #285a:

Say it with me now:

CONSOLE

COUNCIL

CONSOLE

2 different words.
2 different pronunciations.
2 different meanings.

Get it right.
Damnit.

That is all.

Damnit.

So, earlier this evening I was doing dishes and I had my cell phone sitting on the window sill above the sink. (I bet you can see where this is headed...) Anyways, I walked away for a second and the phone rang...well, vibrated. Naturally, my little, retarded kitten saw it start moving and promptly jumped on the window sill and knocked it into a sink full of hot, soapy water.

Needless to say, my phone is toast.
Since I had been having trouble with my phone anyways, I called T-Mobile to send me a replacement.
Sooo, if you need to talk to me in the next 7 - 10 days, catch me on AIM or send me an e-mail.

Reader's Poll:

Mon, 08 May 2006 05:26:56 GMT

Which of the following is more broke ass?

A) My "car stereo"...which is really nothing more than a little CD/boom box that plugs into an outlet, powered my cigarette lighter.

OR

B) My sorry excuse for a computer. The screen on my laptop is broken, so I had to hook a regular computer monitor to it.

I sure do miss my Steve :-(

Fuck.

Tue, 02 May 2006 04:49:39 GMT

Edmonton is killing my soul.

I need to get some new contacts. These glasses are hurting my ears and I'm sick of having to clean them all the time.
Not to mention that I look hideous in them.

I'm 22 years old. You would think that by now I'd be able to use markers or pens without getting ink all over my hands.

Crap. I was supposed to go back to work for an hour or so after I got out of school but I forgot.
Oh well.

Where can I get some sea monkeys?!

Myspace killed Live Journal. And I don't have much to say anymore.
I should delete this thing.

I need to watch less Vh1.

I don't want spring break to be over :-(

Steve and I were in Florida this past week and it was awesome.

We left here last Friday around 5 PM and drove straight through. Well...almost straight through...aside from stopping for food and gas, we stopped around 8 AM Saturday morning and slept at a rest stop for about 30 minutes. That was it. It was about a 21 hour drive...which was kinda brutal, but still fun (...though, nowhere near as fun as the drive back...) It was really neat starting out in crappy, cold, gray Michigan and ending up in 80 degrees and sunshine...but not nearly as neat returning.

People in Georgia must like waffles a whole lot...because there sure are alot of Waffle Houses along I-75.

Anyway, Steve's grandparents are awesome. They spend winters down there, so they let us crash at their place for the week...which was really, really nice of them.

We did sooooooo much stuff!

We went to:
-The Magic Kingdom
-Animal Kingdom
-Epcot Center
-Typhoon Lagoon
-MGM Studios
-Unversal Studios, and
-Islands of Adventure

...and we did everything.

We went on TONS of rides and roller coasters, saw a bunch of 3D special effects shows, we went to the water park and got to swim with sharks, sting rays, and other fish.
I could be here forever talking about all the awesome stuff we did.

Steve even made Mickey Mouse shaped pancakes for breakfast :-)

We were only there for a week but we did so much stuff that it seemed like alot longer than that. It was, without question, the best vacation I have ever had in my entire life...and there is nobody I would have rather spent it with. Steve is amazing and I love him so, soooo very much :-)

...what is wrong with her?...

Tue, 07 Mar 2006 21:20:53 GMT

I wish I had some tabasco sauce Cheez-It's.
Actually, Cheez-It's of any variety would do.

Buddy Holly, Ben-Hur, Space Monkey Mafia...

I just thought I should update before NudgeSides has a chance to attack me again.

I am sitting in the school computer lab and almost every person in here is checking their Myspace.
Tom is taking over the world.

I miss Nicole and our late night bongoing sessions.

I still ain't got no car :-(

My ribs and breast bone are still broken but it feels alot better than it did a week ago...as long as I don't put any pressure on it, or sneeze, or hiccup. Hiccuping is the worst. Everytime I hiccup it feels like I am being hit in the chest with a hammer.

The scrolly wheel guy on this mouse is squeaking really loudly and it's really annoying. I can even hear it over the Billy Joel blaring through my headphones.

Steve and I are going to Disney World in 9 days!!!

Last night, We played through Super Mario Bros. on NES...but, we cheated.
Then, we played with a giant box of McDonald's Happy Meal toys.
Then, we looked at X-Men trading cards.
Then, we played with Battle Beasts.
Then, we played more Nintendo.
Then, my foot got tangled in the controller cord and ruined our game.

I love suddenly being 11 years old again :-)

I want some french toast.

...called you last? Mom
...texted you last? Steve
...IMed you last? Steve
...kissed you last? Steve

WHAT:
...is your favorite article of clothing? Hoodies
...kind of car do you drive? I ain't got no car
...do you like the most about yourself? I like to think I'm pretty good at cheering people up. I'm usually able to find humor in the crappiest of situations.

WHEN:

...do you want to get engaged? Eh. It doesn't really matter where it is, as long as I am totally surprised. I don't want to discuss it first and I don't want to help pick out the ring. I don't want to know anything and I don't want to see it coming. I want to be completely shocked when he drops to one knee.

Towel Folding 1010:

Then...I guess Manny wanted to help:

I am going to nudge your ass with my foot.

Thu, 16 Feb 2006 06:02:47 GMT

Dear Bothsides,

I hate you.
Stop nudging me or I am going to come to your house and slash your tires.
