Cross your fingers everyone!

I may sorta, kinda be going into a bit of side business some time the future.

My friend has spoken to a guy who owns a little store by her home, and he has agreed to sell our baking.

I'm very excited about this! I enjoy baking, so the idea of making a few dollars doing something I actually like is very exhilarating for me.

Wish me luck that it comes through.

And not to brag, but my baking is that damn good! ; P

Q&A from race

location: Living room
mood: accomplished
music: cat's purring

In case anyone hasn't seen it yet, here's the meme:

Leave me a comment saying "Resistance is Futile."
I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can satisfy my curiosity
Update your journal with the answers to the questions
Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.



1. Marry, shag, throw off a cliff: Catherine Willows, Lady Heather, Sofia Curtis (yes i play dirty):
    Dirty? That's just plain evil!
Marry: Sofia, she just seems the most stable out of the 3, with the least baggage, and least drama. She's loyal, smart, and I could watch that swagger of hers all day.   Shag: That would be Lady Heather. C'mon she was a dominatrix! Nuff said!    Throw off a cliff:  Catherine. This was more a process of elimination, as opposed to me hating her. Though there are times  when the writers have her do something out of character just for the sake of a plotline that makes me want to strangle someone.
   
2. If you could change one single aspect of your life, what would it be and why?  Financial aspect. I owe a lot of money because of school loans, and it just weighs down on me everyday. I think if I hadn't done what was expected of me and had taken my time, I'd have one less job and a lot less stress to contend with.

3. Stupidest customer experience :p  Hmmm, I would have to say it was when I was in the express lane (10 items or less) and a customer came up to register and told me because she bought 10 of one product, it counts as 1 item.  She also had a bunch of other stuff as well. In total she had 21 items, but in her mind she had 11.  I was completely speechless when she told me this. Because by her logic if someone were to come through with 100 items it would be okay so long as they bought in increments of 10.  And she's not the 1st one to do this either.

4. What does true love mean to you?  Contentment. Patience. Acceptance.

5. How did you get into "fandom"? Serrendipitously. My 1st fandom (points to icon) was an anime Tenchi Muyo, there were 3 seperate, distinct series to it which I was unaware of, so I ended up looking it up the internet. It was then that I discovered fansites and fanfiction and everything else that goes along with being in a fandom.  It wasn't 'til years later when I got into csi that I got up the courage to particapate.

Wish me luck . . .

mood: awake
music: none, my head hurts

This following week is going to be very, very, long. Between my 2 jobs I will be working close to 70 hours.

And Shaw's is actually trusting me enough to train for the service desk.  I'm thinking of starting a pool for how long it will take for me to sufficiently piss a customer off that they boot back to bagging.

Any takers?

Writer's Block: Bite Me

mood: tired

From Dr. Polidori's Lord Ruthven to Stephenie Meyer's Edward Cullen, the annals of vampire lore are filled with attractive, charming bloodsuckers. Which one would you most want to be bitten by?

You can keep Edward, I wouldn't mind being turned by Bill Compton from True Blood.

No matter what language you speak, you've probably come across words or phrases in another language that sound better than their equivalents in your native tongue. What's your favorite word or phrase in a foreign language?

Mono no aware, it's a Japanese phrase used to describe the transience of things and the feeling of bitter sweetness that follows.

Do you ever have recurring dreams? If so, are they good dreams or nightmares?


View 501 Answers




I have had quite a few dreams where I break through the earth's atmosphere and fly through the galaxy. I can see all the planets and even look directly at the sun.

These are my favorite dreams, even though I have no idea what it represents.

forcing your employees to listen to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton' s (and I use the term loosely) music should be considered a violation of their constitutional right against cruel and unusual punishment. 


On a side note I I feel as if I've been vindicated. For years as child I would be repimaned by teachers for daydreaming, and now I've found that scientist have found it's actually good you.

Take that grammar school teachers!!
