(no subject)

Last night I began yet another stint of dog watching at the 'rents house. It's not a big deal as I love spending time with the pups. But it does suck that I'll be away from home until Sunday. However, it does have its advantages. Like the fact that they left me the keys to their brand new Ford Focus. And by brand new, I mean it had 16 miles on it when I climbed in to drive them to the airport. My mom hasn't even driven it yet! So, let's see, do I drive my 11 year old car with the busted up speakers and rickety old tape player to work today, or take the brand spanking new car with a nice CD player?? *evil grin* I'm in love with the car already.

Saturday night, the usual gang is coming over to have a wild toga kegger. Or to play 90's Trivial Pursuit. One of those two for sure. duckduck should be bringing her canine companion, which my dogs will love. They always adore having new friends around. And it's 'posed to be like 47 degrees, so they'll be able to frolic about outside until they wear themselves out.

The downer of dog sitting is that I had to get up at 5am this morning, so I'd have time to walk the mutts. Ugh! That was painful, but it's pretty nice out so at least I wasn't freezing too. It's also really hard for me to sleep there, since I'm used to complete quiet and being alone. I have a hard time getting used to Riley walking around and jumping on and off the bed. And when he's on the bed, he MUST scrunch up as close as humanly...err, caninely possible to me. That's fine, it just makes me really hot.

Normally, I would also have Earl sleeping between my legs, which is ultra annoying. But he recently strained a muscle or something, and he won't jump on or off the bed. He barely makes it up the stairs, which means I'll be carrying him alot. So, instead of sleeping with me, he just stays in his hiding place under the bed. But, he looked kind of sad last night to not be with me.



And that's about it! I just thought I'd make an actual update about what's going on around me.

Oh, I started a new journal, scrap_this. If you go there, you'll notice that there's nothing there yet, but there will be. I'm planning on putting up all my scrapbooking pages and any new tips or ideas I've had. Nothing too exciting. I'm just hoping it gets me motivated to get some actual pages done. So, if you're interested in hearing about my tales of using my Scrappin' Weaponry, friend me!

Interview meme (ganked from auzrais)

2 - I will respond; i'll ask you five questions.

4 - you'll include this explanation.
5 - you'll ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed

auzrais' 5 questions for me

1. What do you want to be when you 'grow-up'? (Dreams, ideal job, etc.)
This is always a hard question, because I really have no idea. I guess if I could afford it, I'd love to have B&N be my only job, since I'm all about the books. I'd probably get out of this state, but I don't know where I'd go for sure. If I knew what I wanted, I suppose I'd be working towards it.

2. When did you first fall in love with Hugh?
This is easy - during his interview on The Tonight Show for X2. With his sexy Van Helsing long hair. I kinda knew who he was before that, but I really fell at that moment. And I fell harder when he was on Letterman like a week later and vibrated his eyes. 'Cause I can do that exact same thing! I decided we were soul mates. *giggle*

3. Who is your favorite author and why?
Laurell K. Hamilton, without a doubt. Although, I do love many, many authors. LKH is my fave because she has written characters I LOVE and can totally relate to. Anita, especially, since she's so much like myself. Plus, I adore LKH's imagination and story lines. And she's super, super nice. And sexy herself. I'll stop babbling now...

4. What is the best Bill Hicks line ever?
AUGH! What kind of question is that?? It depends on my mood...But I'l go with "If you're going to kill somebody, have some fucking taste. I'll drive you to Kenny Rogers house. Get in! I know where Wham! lives. 'Gotta have faith, faith, faith.'" *makes gun shot noises* That's part of the first Bill routine I ever saw and made me a student of his gospel.

5. You have just entered the Anita Blake universe. What would you be doing there? (Are you a bad guy, good guy, shapeshifter, etc?)
Heh heh...working my ass off to steal Jean-Claude from Anita. :p Actually, I would probably be something like a bounty hunter who turned good and became a federal marshal. Something crossed between Anita and Edward. With lots of guns and knives.
