The end of the month has rolled around again, and while I did better than in December, sadly I have an unfinished kitty to present to you all.
The theme was "Vintage Catwalk", so here is a mocha-brown, corduroy cat in some very stylish retro-inspired duds. She doesn't have a tail yet, nor are her ears properly affixed, but I have submitted her anyway, in case I don't get her done by midnight tonight.
The first picture is a little clearer, though the second does better justice to her coloring. Anyway, I hope you like her. I have big plans for whatever softie will be coming up next as I just snatched up some great remnants at JoAnn Fabrics. I think we may have a Rab-bot in our future. That's all I'm saying.

Some late night tidbits from AIM:
bgwuser: i guess i am pretty good at phone-action
BakonBitzz: I was trying to explain the "King Cake" to Annie
BakonBitzz: I had no idea what the fuck I was talking about
BakonBitzz: Just that if you ate the baby, you had a good year and would never go hungry or eat another baby or some shit
StepheeJoy: Your wife is a fun gal. hahah
Killrthm: yes, she is ... now if only she was naked
Killrthm: you're a pretty fun gal, yourself
StepheeJoy: yes, well...
Killrthm: nah, 'tis true ... it would be fun if we were all drunk together
StepheeJoy: i know deep down inside you want to get us all in a threesome... don't lie. :) hehehe
Killrthm: well now ... I'm sure I could accommodate, but I was thinking more of the simple act of all of us being naked together
StepheeJoy: i'm not going to lie... i too have had a pitcher of margaritas... but i can still act normal
chieF3030: uh huh
StepheeJoy: seriously. i have my mouth closed and everything
chieF3030: and that is why boys wont date you.
BakonBitzz: I am GENUS
StepheeJoy: nice
BakonBitzz: And species
chieF3030: dood. my man thong is HOT
BakonBitzz: I'm drink but I'm not an idiot
BakonBitzz: I am an idiot... I just said "Drink" insteaid of "Drink"

"A playboy like you? Are you ever for real?"
So, against what would be my normal good judgment I saw "House of Flying Daggers" this afternoon. Wow. I LOVED it... for so many reasons. I mean, it was just beautiful (though I hear Hero was prettier so now I MUST see it) and the fighting scenes were fun, but the best part was the sense of humor, intentional or not. It was often so corny, but in the best sense of the word. It was a thoroughly entertaining 2+ hours.
And we all learned a valuable lesson... a love triangle can only reasonably end in bloodshed. Preferably if everyone involved ends up dead. It's the only way, really. That and bamboo is wicked cool.

You know what's surprisingly sexy?
Making über-low quality short films.
Here's to your brilliant next step in the long journey, and to something to do. Cheers!
The Daily Reality:
"So, it sounds to me like you're being a fed a spoonful of sugar."
"Don't read too much between the lines. I insist that you not divulge everything to [...] unless he brings it up, at which point it's fair game."
"Trust me kid, it's going to just totally suck for a while but one day you'll realize that [...] is a better friend than he is a partner."
"It's REALLY hard when everyone who's opinion on the matter you trust says the exact opposite of what your heart says. But listening to your heart is for suckers, I guess."
"There's no train
There's no boat
There's no car
To get you far enough
There's no bus
There's no plane
There's no wreck
To make you beg enough
There's no drink
There's no sleep
There's no pill
To keep you still enough
It's heartache weather, please remember
Things are going to get worse before they get better
There's no rope
There's no nail
There's no psalm
To make us strong enough
There's no con
There's no skin
There's no beauty
To help you through enough
It's heartache weather, please remember
Things are going to get worse before they get better
There's no book
There's no code
There's no verse
To make it hurt enough
There's no kill
There's no spark
There's no script
To help you live enough
There's no cause
There's no drum
There's no breath
That gets you near enough
It's heartache weather, please remember
Things are going to get worse before they get better"

"You might have laughed if I told you
You might have hidden a frown
You might have succeeded in changing me
I might have been turned around
It's easier to leave than to be left behind
Leaving was never my proud
Leaving New York, never easy
I saw the light fading out"
-REM, Leaving New York
We have the best in-store music at work. I adore that song (and about a dozen others on our 4 hour loop). It reminds me a bit of last January.

Well, I suppose that just figures. That means I should find my soul mate soon. Which Napoleon Dynamite character are you?
|
You Are 27 Years Old |
|
27 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax. |
So very close. Who says I don't act my age, eh? I'm sure if I had taken that quiz like 2 years ago it would have told me I was 16, but I'm totally catching up to myself lately. What Age Do You Act?
"I am no hero; oh that's for sure
But I do know one thing
Is where you are, is where I belong
I do know where you go is where I wannna be"
-Dave Matthews
I just keep thinking, once I get this job, move to this location, meet this person, I won't have this twisted up feeling of being in limbo anymore. I think I'll just always be in limbo. Waiting for whatever is going to happen next. And that's so unlike me. I like to think I'm the person who appreciates NOW and doesn't worry about what's to come. I guess that's only when I'm more satisfied with now.
I was dissatisfied this afternoon to turn on SpikeTV expecting to watch two glorious hours of ST:TNG, only to find what I could only assume was the original series, for which I don't as much care. However, I was then quite satisfied to learn that (in true holiday weekend fashion) SpikeTV has declared today a Super Star Trek Monday. Hooray! What I am watching is in fact, ST3: The Search For Spock. With any luck they will just spend the whole day whipping through ST movies. I'd still prefer The Next Generation, but as it is a holiday and all... I'll let it slide. Also, I am thrilled that they seem to have had the common sense to show the first 5 movies minus The Wrath of Khan because if you EVER watch TV you have undoubtedly surfed past it about 1000 times. Why is that the only one they ever show?
Ok, see, this is what happens when I have far too many days off of work in a row. Long rambled nonsense. But at least I posted.

"It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go"
-The Killers
Random updates:
My cat for January's Month of Softies is coming along dandily. It's a little wonky and odd, but that's what makes it so delightful, yes?
Science is great fun, especially when enjoyed with great company. Did you know wire can explode? It's true!
I had buffalo bison for dinner the other night. Not quite as good as buffalo crab, but good all the same.
I recently got some quite funny thank you notes in the mail, so thanks for that. You know who you are!
Watching the Golden Globes is pretty fun. I'm not really sure why though. huh. I think I just like the pretty dresses more than anything else.
And... why do I feel like I have to make a decision, when it's not my decision either way?

About time I got a haircut. Since I know you're all interested, a few pics can be found in the bottom of my "random pictures of me" section.

"Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me"
Coldplay, The Scientist
I would like the Wicker Park soundtrack. And also a DVD player.

The Daily Heidi:
I am passing this on to you because it definitely worked for me and we all could use more calm in our lives. By following the simple advice I heard on a Dr. Phil show, I have finally found inner peace.
Dr. Phil proclaimed the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all things you have started. So I looked around my house to see things I started and hadn't finished and, before leaving the house this morning I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of White Zinfandel, a bottle of Baileys, a bottle of Kahlua, a package of Oreos, the remainder of both Prozac and Valium prescriptions, the rest of the Cheesecake, some Saltines and a box of Chocolates.
You have no idea how freaking good I feel. Please pass this on to those you feel are in need of inner peace.
The Daily Steve:
Oooh ooh! I forgot to tell you something else! I was at the credit card reader this morning and I looked at it and it said 1/11 11:11! That totally rocked!! That made the day after my birthday extra special.
The Daily Stephanie:
Kidding. I have nothing to say. No news on the job front just yet. I have a tons of movies I need to either see in the theater or rent, so anyone up for a movie night, just holler. Also, since craft night did not happen Sunday, that needs to be rescheduled. I need to get my craft on! Oh, and who wants to be on the Prom Committee? I'd like to appoint a Limo Chairperson. So, who wants to make a couple phone calls? Anyone? Anyone?

Challenges for the new year:
1. Move out of my mother's basement.
2. Get a full time job with benefits.
3. Drink more wine if it means having more really honest, and long overdue conversations.
4. Learn to be able to have those conversations without a bottle of wine.
5. Refrain from eating nachos every day.
6.
7. Set realistic goals.
8. Make out with Jake Gyllenhall.
Ok, really... have I ever kept a New Year's Resolution past March? Doubt it.
Sorry I got off to a slow start this year. Bwil has outposted me by far too great a margain, so I had no choice but to link him again, dispite the fact that he doesn't think he can handle the pressure.

Where do you draw the line between being happy for someone you care about and fighting for something you want?
