6 Months of Hell

  • Nov. 25th, 2009 at 1:50 PM

Hello everyone. I hang my head in shame because I’ve let things the past few months get out of control and I’ve fallen into stressing about it. Because of that stress I’ve sabotaged myself and my weight loss program. Sometimes intentionally. I’ve had to sit down with my (non-online) journal and try and figure out when and where I’ve gone wrong in my weight loss. I’m demoralized and I just couldn’t figure it out. I know people here have reached out to me asking if they can help me, but now that I’ve been able to do some research I know there’s little that can be done at the moment. I want to thank you for thinking about me. I just have been living in stress and being antisocial. It’s the only way I’ve been able to get through the past few months. I’ve learned that it all started about June of this year.

I guess it’s time to tell the whole story.

It all started here... )

I knew this already, but it's nice to be told once in a while...


Your result for The Sexual HELL Test...

HELL LEVEL 3

Raw score: 100%

There's a special place in Hell for you: the basement penthouse. You scored the nastiest possible score on the Sexual Hell Test. You have no sexual restraint whatsoever. You'll take pleasure however you can get it, and my guess is you get it a lot. If for some reason you don't right now, you will soon, as people in your category only tend to spiral down ever deeper into the abyss of carnality and delicious sin. Congratulations.


I, personally, think that this category is the best. Paradoxically enough, sexual liberation and indulgence can only bring you closer to purity.


AVOID: all but level 3 hellions like yourself. You wouldn't want to ruin anyone, now would you?

Hello Sexy!

It says to tag eight sexy people. Since you are all sexy, I can't possibly choose. Feelings will get hurt, marriages will be disrupted...let's just say "if you're bored at work, here's something for you to do to kill time."

FIRST: If you've been tagged, you must write your answers in your own LJ and replace any question that you dislike with a new, original question.

SECOND: Tag eight sexy people. Don't refuse to do that like a person who refuses to do stuff. Unless you really don't want to of course. And if you're not tagged and you want to do it, then do!



Who sleeps in bed next to you?
My husband.

What did you last eat?
Sushi, wontons and a spring roll, water and a Hanson's Vanilla Cherry soda. (Which reminds me, dinner is in a few minutes.)

What kind of books do you read?

fantasy, science fiction, books on wicca, magazines (I have lots of them), comic books.

If you could be anywhere right now, where would it be?
Someplace warm. That way I'd be outside in the sunshine.

What's really creepy?
Being stared at. Tv show Fringe.

Name one odd item within five feet of you.
Deodorant. It sits on the hutch above my computer. The weird part is normal people keep it in the bathroom, but I like to apply it just before I put my shirt on and I don't want to have to make unnecessary trips if I don't have to.

What's your current fandom / obsession / addiction?
Eureka, Desperate Housewives, Legend of the Seeker, Dark Shadows (on DVD), Dinner:Impossible (Robert Irvine has a great pair of legs*sigh*).

What did you really want to do today that you didn't?
Siting front of the computer and just be antisocial.

What are you most excited for?
Sunshine, warm weather and Green Tea Frappuccinos.

What websites do you always visit when you go online?
LJ, MySpace, my Dark Shadows writers forums site, Insane Journal, my photobucket, Facebook (I'm tryign to remember to log in occassionally) and Twitter (I have to trya nd remember to log in here. I'm not on very often.)

What was the last thing you bought?
Besides my sushi lunch today? Groceries and Gothic Beauty Magazine. Payday was Thursday so there was shopping to be done.

If you could have any pet, what would it be?
A house full of cats. And a phoenix. Hubby wants a cougar.

Your past life: Tell me about it.
A warrior. Soeone who protected people... form what I don't know. I've always suspected I have what's called an Old Soul. Old Soul is kinda tired and would proabbly like to retire sometime.

What do you want right this minute, off the top of your head?
A personal interstellar exploration pod that is sentient and has an awsomely vast databank of planets, societies and starcharts and a tone of scientific gadgets to help me explore new worlds... seeking out new life and new civilizations... to boldly go where no one's ever been before... AND LIVE TO TELL THE TALES!

Where is the place you like to return to in order to calm down / relax / etc.?
Either home in bed curled up under the covers or in my car anywhere. Just me, the car and my music and journal.

How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll centre of a Tootsie Pop?
What licks? Give me the hammer and stand back. I want the Tootsie Roll, not the candy coating.

What's something you'd like to say to someone right now?
"I miss you."

Are there any bits of childhood that you miss?
The ability to just get out of the house and go somewhere no matter the time of day or night. To not have the responsibilities of being an adult. To have near perfect health once again.

Say something to the person who tagged you.

Fly Me To The Moon

Today NASA launched a rocket at the moon and actually hit it. They're interested in seeing if the moon contains any water so that future missions don't have to haul any from Earth next time man wants to go visiting.

Cool! I totally believe this. I'm a geek and I find anything about the advancement of science and blasting humans into space absolutely facinating.

What I can't believe is that there are rational people on this planet who STILL believe Mankind never set foot on the moon in the first place, and that the whole thing was actually some big Hollywood production spearheaded by the US Government.

WTF?!?!?!???? Ok, call me naieve, but I don't understand the logic behind this. What kind of screwed up academic system are these people coming from anyway? I work with someone who is convinced that there is a radioactive band that encircles the Earth and that no living thing can get through it because the radiation is too strong and will kill us. Henceforth, man never walked on the moon because we couldn't get through this layer of radiation.

Then again, he watches conspiracy theories on YouTube, too. I guess I should takt this into consideration as well. Otherwise, he's a very rational and logical thinking guy. I don't know if this is relivent, but he is also a Republican.

Do kids actually READ books when they go to school, or do they just lick the glue off the bindings? I really have to wonder sometimes.

V: the Remake. Love it or Hate it?

  • Sep. 25th, 2009 at 12:22 PM
Firey Goddess
Ok, fen, I'm just about fed up with all these "re-imaginings" of old tv shows. Battlestar Galactica showed promise until I found out that there was no difference between the people of the 12 Colonies and 20th century Earthlings. That blew chunks in my book. What happened to the diverse cultures of the Colonies of the old series? Each one had something unique about it which made them facinating. In the re-imagined they were all the same bland old bologna. Damn, even peanutbutter has jelly to offset it. 

Oh, wait a minute. Everyone was NOT the same: The Sagitarans were virtually slaves. Oops. My bad. 

I found I was more interested in the society the Cylons had created for themselves than the in-your-face human politics crap that was shoved down our throats most of the time. Ok, I admit that BsG had it's moments as far as the Humans were concerned, though. The visions and some of the interactions were good. I especially liked it when Adama got into the boxing ring himself. That was all sorts of cool. The lawyer's side story about the cat was interesting until I fouond out that the man was insane: keeping the dead cat body in his briefcase. And he didn't even LIKE cats. It belonged to the ex-wife. (huh?) This is the guy who ends up leading the colonists when the settle Earth. Is it me or is there something really wrong with this picture? Lastly there was the most confusing and enfuriating scenes of 1. Starbuck's sudden disappearance (because she was a... what? Ghost? Figment of the immagination? Ascended being from wherever?) while talking to Apollo, and 2. Adama's sudden urge to "get back to nature" and decided everyone had to procreate with the native caveman of the planet instead of fullfilling his promise to rebuild their civilizations and make them better so their race could start again? Hell, if I were a Colonial I'd feel cheeted and lied to, and I'd be pissed.

In my opinion, the ending of Battlestar Galactica just blew.

I did start out talking about the V remake, didn't I? Ok, here goes. Let's NOT see any Human/Reptile cross-breeding or Star Children with mental powers and funky eternity tattoos on their hands. Ok? Morena Baccarin is in it so there's the sex part. I liked her as Inara Serra on Firefly, so I know her roll as the leader of the Visitors isn't going to suck. Well, not unless the script is crap that is. The remake's theme: Don't blindly trust your leaders. No! Really? I think we finally got that message back in the 70's when we were told not to trust anyone over the age of 30, and the "Question Authority" of I-forget-which-era. (I've been doing that all my life.) In this daty and age, who really trusts the government that much anyway?

Do you want to know what I want to see? I want to see aliens come to Earth, like the Visitors, promise us all these medical and technological wonders, ask nothing in return, and basically act like Mother Theresa, then we Earthlings blow them away! Then only after we've blown them to hell and back again do we finally realize that they were on the level, and all they really wanted was to share their toys because they saw such promise in humanity and that's just how their race is..

It would suck to be us, wouldn't it?

Ok, you think you squeed hard over my last post, check this out... (you know who I'm talking to, don't you?) I have this cd, too.





And this cd, too...


Brown Eyed Girl
This song has been going through my head for the past week now and I have no other choice but to share it with you. I found this lovely little video on YouTube created by a student for his class project. A little back story: this is a song from the 1977 audio/musical version of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds set in the time of Victorian England. The story is narrated by Richard Burton and the song is sun my Justin Hayward (of the Moody Blues), and it also contains the end dialog of the story. Jeff Wayne has recently taken this production on tour. Unfortunately nowhere near where I live.  I guess it's time to extract the song and make room for the next one...





For those of you who want the lyrics, here they are...


"Forever Autumn"
by Justin Hayward


The summer sun is fading as the year grows old
And darker days are drawing near
The winter winds will be much colder
Now you´re not here

I watch the birds fly south across the Autumn sky
And one by one they disapear
I wish that I was flying with them
Now you´re not here

Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
You always loved this time of year
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
Cause you´re not here
Cause you´re not here
Cause you´re not here

Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

A gentle rain falles softly on my weary eyes
As if to hide a lonely tear
My life will be forever Autumn
Cause you´re not here
Cause you´re not here
Cause you´re not here


I disavow any knowledge of Winter's existance

Ok, go ahead and laugh now. Fall came creeping in on little furry paws, but Winter hit today. Ok, not a full blown snowstorm, but it's here nontheless. Damnit! What happened to Fall? Probably the same thingt hat happened to Spring. It was around for a few days, then nothing. Hubby called me at work this morning just about 10am and told me it was snowing at our place. A little while later I heard from a vendor that it was snowing in the Tech Center just south of us. It's not supposed to be winter BEFORE Mabon!

Ok, give me back Fall and I'll call of my enforcer (pictured below)!

Author or Artist: If I post this doesn’t this stand to reason it’s actually MINE?!?!?
Rating:
Safe for work?: Yes
Characters or Pairing(s): Read it and find out.
Spoilers: Now where’s the fun in that?
Summary: If you were given the chance to change someting in your past, would you? 
Vague references to: DS Cannon. VERY vague references anyway. 
Potential Triggers: Vampirism, falling, ghosts, inclement weather, neck biting, authority figures, general snarkinesss (shush Roger!)
Disclaimer: The universe and characters of Dark Shadows is a Dan Curtis production. I just write here even though I do believe I’d love to live here.
Classification: As Cannon as logically possible, but Cannon is edited for coherency, continuity, and general nit-pickiness. (I can’t help but pick nits.) Face it. Danny-boy never did worry a bit about continuity.
