Well after several harrowing days on morning deli (ACK!) I finally got a couple of days on the evening shift again. Last night was rediculously busy, simply because it was Friday and also because today is the first day of archery season. I hope today isn't that busy. My coworkers on deli were about going nuts because we had non-stop sub orders.
One of my customers (who has become a rather good friend of mine just by his coming in the store) told me where to get alexandrite (the lab grown v
So I woke up this morning, at about 11 00 (no sense getting up early on spring break of my senior year. Pretty soon i'm going to have to get a job ) and my mom is outside the bathroom door, she heard me get up and as I was brushing my teeth she told me she was sneaking into my room to get a hanger out of my closet. I find out she needs the hanger because the dryer won't turn on...we had clothes hanging in odd places all over the house...
The reason the dryer wouldn't start was because as m
...and looks like it's going to have to be sent back. There's what looks like a crack, or at least, a shoddy glue job, where the two pieces of the frame meet. At the very least, it will probably effect the sound. Still waiting to hear back from the girl I bought it from, to see if it's an issue. Mom is *insisting* that it's not a problem but I think it probably is.
I was away at my dad's this weekend and had a great time! We visited my grandad in the hospital (he broke his back and is not doing well ...) on Saturday morning, then after that we went to New Hope, where I got my ear pierced again...
Shiny new inner conch piercing:
(and of course kick ass spirals as well).
Sunday was our picnic- we had an amazing time there as well! After that we had a Wii tournament- word of advice: Wii tournaments make it really hard to walk or do anything a
I can't stop thinking about that Viper longbow in Cabellas. I hope I do end up with it, and soon, before winter (I don't know of an indoor range around here, and we get alot of snow in Northeastern PA). I may end up with some used thing (I put my Pap on that one...it'll give him something to do) but I WILL HAVE ONE and I will not move to Minnesota next fall untill I do.I should get to bed, because I have school tomorrow (I wish I knew why I was taking two AP courses when I'm not even going to co
Well last night was prom, nothing really exceptional but I had a good time. And nothing disastrous happened either. The only disaster, was some of the food, something unidentifiable that I think was pork, and some green beans that smelled, seriously, like that really stinky kind of plastic and tasted similar. The strawberry shortcake was to die for though.
I have the responsibility of watching the neighbors dogs for the weekend, and I went to their house yesterday morning to find the kitch

Just yesterday I have started a blog for various religious essays. This will not be for "everyday stuff", but only for things about my personal path. I had started out with the intention of "starting a religion" but I realized that by believing as I do, and practicing as I do, I am effectively creating the path simply by walking it. I was inspired by someone else's religious essays, and decided to write my own. I figure it will help me to lear
Lift my eyes to bright sunriseStretch my silver wingsSoaring on the crystal breezeAnd my spirit singsTo close to the blinding lightI am unpreparedToo much truth and all too soon Why am I so scared?What it was that once I soughtIs the death of meTruth is not what I believedHow can this thing be?Falling now these shredded wingsBent and broken, flimsy thingsPlunged into darkness, all hope fadesSunset on my glory daysLoss of innocence
I finished the article and it's waiting to be published, go me!
[edit]I just realized it IS published! thanks guys! It can be found on the UNRV homepage!
I got another 83% in AP Chem
I went to the Sportsman's Show in Harrisburg on Friday and let me tell you, it's worth a trip, but you really cannot see it in one day. It TOTALLY redefines the word "huge". (I got a pretty little piece of agate from the Yellowstone River there. It kind of looks like a lopsided arrowhead and it's all pol
But I have it back now. *Pries brain out of life's mouth*. A little spit covered, but no worse for wear. *grins*
Over the past year or so, I've been so preoccupied with work, and other things, that I've hardly had time to do anything I cared about. And when I DID have time, I was usually so bogged down with depression or something similar, that I couldn't manage to do anything. It started sometime last winter...and during that time when pretty much my whole focus was on surviving and maintai
Ok, so I went to see my dad's side of the family over christmas break. It was pretty hectic sometimes, but I'm really glad I went. I got to see Chronicles of Narnia, its a great movie, I highly recommend it. We got to the theatre late, but that only meant we missed the boring part where they set up the plot, and got there just as Mr. Tomnas entered the picture
SO I get home. Now, all of my teachers assigned work over vacation (well...many of them did.) It's the "you're going on vacation so
Today I decided to cut my hair. Spontaneity turned out better this time than it has in the past; my hair was two distinctly different lengths and all split, so I just grabbed some scissors and started whacking. I don't think I did too bad, but the back IS a little uneven. I've got "kiddy steps" and I'm sure my mom will chastise me But overall I think it actually looks pretty good. I'm sure mom will disagree.
I'm concreting my plans to head to Minnesota in the summer. Things are looking up!
My new job is going great, I feel like my old self again, and I haven't felt this good since...well...it's been probably a year now!! I'm starting to write poetry again, too; I haven't written in quite a while. Picked up a book of Tennyson poems at a used book store, and that has definitely renewed my interest in poetry.
As for the harp, well, it appears as though the crack is getting bigger. it also looks like the top part of the frame is listing off to the side. There seems very little ch
Well I've been home from my dad's for 3 or 4 weeks, and now it's time for me to find a job. I put in an application at a local grocery store. Not only is the place within walking distance, but I liked the atmosphere and thought I would like to work there. They weren't officially hiring, but they were short staffed. I had two reccommendations from people who worked there. I turned in my application. I called a few days later, they told me that the manager had taken it upstairs to look at it. All
MY NEW LAPTOP IS HERE!!!!
Her name is Josie. I had to practically chase the mailman to get her but she's HERE!!!!
I spent a few frustrating hours getting her set up, but now I'm laying on the couch watching TV and posting blogs like a good little lazy techie.
It took a little while, but I'm getting used to the keyboard and touchpad and I LOVE IT!!!!!
:D :D
Now if only Kitten would get on so I can bug him on webcam.
Tomorrow is Friday. ME SO HAPPY!!!
I didn't think
I didn't think I would ever get it done, but I did. My review of The Eagle's Conquest has been sent to Viggen for publication. It's been several months now, since I started reading the book. I promised you a review to come soon, thinking that I would read quickly but alas, life got in the way. Now, finally, I've finished the book and have written the review.
Time to celebrate! :drunk:
I have tomorrow and Friday off, which I am very happy about. Our one assistant manager quit at a pretty
Well now, it seems I've been neglecting my poor little blog over here in the corner...
I went to see my Dad and the rest of my family for Thanksgiving, that was fun I got tons of cool stuff while I was there. Early Christmas presents, because we didn't know if I would be able to make it for Christmas (our weather turns nasty in the winter). I painted Christmas balls for my dad and my aunt, I couldn't post them before in case they happened to wander across this site...but at some point I wil
OK lmao I finally got it worked out. Get this...
I thought I would like to have a chat for Ancient History, so after trying a hundred times to find a server (none of which Trillian would connect to) I stumbled upon BrokenIRC and thought it would be funny if "BrokenIRC" was the only one that wasn't "broken" so I tried it. What do you know, it works. Isn't irony grand? So I join the help channel, get some great help from an admin there in setting up my channel step by step. I had some problems
Well, the last part of my "easter" present came today: a small brass cauldron in which to burn my incense. It was a grave disappointment. I wasted two charcoal tablets because they refused to burn properly in that small cauldron; they became starved of oxygen, and quickly went out. Once the igniter stuff is gone from them they are impossible to relight.
I did get figured out how to light it safely though. Going back to the brass bowl filled with sand that I'd wanted to use to begin with, I p
My mom gave me my "Easter" present today, even though the last part isn't here I already had something suitable. It's just what I wanted, and expected: resin incense with charcoal tablets. We gave it a test run downstairs, where my mom could be there to help keep an eye on it because neither of us had ever done it before. It's interesting to light, instead of flaming at first like normal charcoal, it sparks and smokes in a manner that threatens to set things around it on fire! That rather quickl
As you've probably noticed, I've been a bit absent on the forums lately. I spent the past week or so at my neighbor's house, dogsitting. They had a computer (that works better than mine) but my time has been spent cleaning up messes and exploring new sites (I found an awesome Pagan Forum and have been spending time playing on there.
I've also been stuck on the early shift (Oh, joy!) lately, and work has been taking up alot of my time. Between work, my internet not working, and trying to find
I actually have an 83% in AP Chem right now! That's for the end of the marking period (meaning, that at least that will be on my report card. I say "at least" because I'm almost positive there are some extra credit points in there which have not been added in yet.) I was expecting like...a 70-something. But 83?? YEEEE!! ::dances::
EIGHTY-THREE! EIGHTY-THREE! EIGHTY-THREE!
(ok, I'm done now, lol.)
Just busy.
I got a new fish, pictures posted Here.
He seems to be doing well, still won't eat. BUT his beautiful tail that you see there, is in shreds!!! He must've got it caught on the plant (I removed the plant) and it looks just awful but I'm so worried about stress on him and the possibility of fin rot.
My poor, beautiful baby. And his poor tail. I just fell in love with that tail. I am so sad.
I'm still reading Gladiatrix and I must say, I am pleased with it. I'm almost don
I have made it safely to MN. The journey was interesting, but not that great. I did get to see Pittsburg (beautiful!! I'd LOVE to go back!) and Chicago (nice, but not great). I was so exhausted from dragging my luggage everywhere (too cheap to rent a locker...dragged it all around downtown Chicago). I was 2 days on the rails, luggage in tow the whole time and gods my arms hurt!! I arrived in Detroit Lakes at 3 AM...and the sun was coming up by the time I made it to bed.
I'm having fun, altho
first off, the AP exams are DONE. The chem exam was killer, but there were some nice "gift" questions in the free response part, so I am really happy about that I'm most happy that it's done, I have no more exams hanging over my head (except finals, but I was never worried about finals). I'm not even really worried about my grade. Although the girl who switched papers with someone and got her score invalidated is now trying to get all of our scores invalidated on a technicality. I doubt she'll
