It's not a cry you can hear at night, it's not somebody who's seen the light...

Feeling energetic enough to write but no one is around. WOE. Clearly I shall solve this by updating most of my Strays characters and refreshing to see if I get replies until I eventually fall asleep! Stupid random!energy. I got so tired after changing my sheets and making my bed today that I had to take a nap.

In summary, chronic fatigue sucks and I wish I could like hear back from the damn hospital about what step to take next but being on the waiting list does mean waiting. HUMPH.

BUT. The guy who is fixing my computer finally got the new LCD panel he was waiting for and so now he can install it and make sure it works. He says I should have my computer by Monday. Which OH MY GOD, REALLY?! YAY YAY YAY! I can go back on AIM and type without having to fix every second word!

You guys. I can play Sims. ;)

Randomly waking up when trying to sleep is annoying. More annoying when I forget where I am!

Today my step-daddy forgot he had opened up one of his non-alcoholic beers (ews) and so after dinner my mother pointed it out. He thought he would be really super cool and chug it in the kitchen, so he lifted it up to his mouth and chugged. And then it fizzed everywhere and he got it all over himself and had to spit it out in the sink. Then he spent the next five minutes, dripping it all over the kitchen floor, laughing hysterically. His laugh is a mixture between a jolly Irishman and the doctor from The Simpsons. It was pretty brilliant. And entirely refreshing that he could laugh at himself.

He also was like "you haven't seen it here (meaning this house, not Montana) in the winter have you?" and my response was, "I was here in the winter when I lived here." He looked confused so I said, "remember? I lived here for like six months?" More confusion. "I worked at Pizza Hut?" "OH YEAH!" To be fair to him, that was eight years ago, just before I moved to Australia! I thought it was amusing. He doesn't even eat Pizza Hut. Wouldn't go near it, so I don't know why that jogged his memory!

Tomorrow lots of people are coming for Racism Day lunch/dinner. It'll be nice to see most of them since I haven't in a long time. I usually miss them when I visit, even though they live in Helena. I hope to be incredibly interesting and witty. But I'll settle for Not Asleep.

Soon I will be able to watch the new ep of American Horror Story. I am excite! That'll put me back to sleep, surely. Right? RIGHT?!

All I do is complain!~

So here:

Today I was trying to reply to a text Alison sent me about wankers in business suits. I was trying to reply with "ew wank!" but auto-correct changed my words. So it became "Ew wankmoth!" I caught it before it sent, but then I sent it anyway because lol!

Wankmoth is in my auto-correct dictionary. It makes me happy.

Can't sleep, tralala this is my life now. And the INTERNET KEEPS GOING OUT! Okay. Internet? You are here to keep me sane. And I am trying to finish work for my mother. STOP.IT.

But whatever, I watched an episode of Ghost Hunters I downloaded last month and promptly forgot about. And after years of being obsessed with Most Haunted even though I find the show utterly ridiculous, I was pleasantly surprised. None of these guys run around screaming like gits. At least...not in this episode, but they were in Alcatraz and if that doesn't make them scream, a house probably wouldn't. And while the Most Haunted crew acting like idiots is half the appeal (the other half being the pretty locations and the history and, when he is present, my gay medium teddy bear boyfriend, David Wells) I actually enjoyed seeing people do more serious investigations. I mean, it's still clearly amped up for the camera, but I liked the laid back way they approached things.

So then I ordered a DVD of it off of Amazon the second the internet worked again (it stopped again between then and now because it HATES ME) because I have no willpower.

Helios seems to think the best place to cuddle is my eyeballs. And the more I remove him the more cuddly he gets. But GOD he is ridiculously cute. I just like my eyeballs cat fur free. It burns us, Precious.

NOW let's see how long the internet stays on this time!

And I want another cat too, shhhh

I should be writing my assignment that is due tomorrow. I tend to leave the easy ones to the last minute because I can't be arsed. And I have until tomorrow night. Anyway, instead of writing my assignment, I am trying to find a Japanese PB and playing with Random Name Generators

Alison did it for a first and middle name and she got the name RANDY PEONY. And Krystal Tottie.

I got: Chastity Delice - which sounds like a crabs ad. Diamond Prudence, Bernie Ocean (LOL), Christmas Maria, Terra Aspen, Del Jocelin (this is only funny if you know who those two characters are), Kat Raven, Lorrie Desdemona, Traci Stacy, Amilia Midge, September Deidre, Dina Gina, Romy Gay, Genesis Janet, Jojo Judy and Wisdom Antigone.

So, Alison got Chastity Charity. And Leah was looking at twin names and she said Chastity's twin name could be Flee-from-fornication. Chastity and Flee-from-fornication. Names are amazing, aren't they?!

Alison was supposed to go to bed but she just came out here to get a drink and there is no way that we could possibly ever explain the conversation that just occurred between us, but it was epic hilarity though it was the kind where you had to be there and now my stomach hurts from laughing. It was pure ridiculousness and we both laughed so hard, and I feel like I might vomit.

And then I thought, "you know what? I think I feel like this at least once a day." I think living in a house where you laugh so hard you think you might vomit at least once a day is pretty damn awesome, no matter what else is going on in my messed up little world.

Long live the LFoD and all it's denizens, past and present!

EDIT: For more examples of why the LFoD is the greatest place on Earth, I present Alison's Overheard in the LFoD tag in her journal which is chock full of hilarity and quotes.

My head hurts from laughing.

So...I had this dream, right? I was at a hotel (FOR DEIRDRE'S BIRTHDAY she is my CHARACTER) and it was Halloween and we were partying and Jude Law showed up. Not Flynn, Jude Law. And FOR SOME REASON, he was like "I like you" and I was like "I don't really do men unless I connect with you spiritually and I do not want another one of your random kids you tend to have" and he said, "we can just date without sexings" and I was like "OKAY!"

If you're saying LOLWHUT now, just wait.

So we went to a POOL or something and we were talking by the side of it and I guess I was trying to be sexy so I reached over to pull his glasses off and he screamed and covered his eyes so quickly I gave them back and he explained that when he was a kid, he had this toy that made everything brighter and, being a kid, he thought it would be a GREAT idea to wear them in a solarium and it burned his retinas so now he has to wear special glasses that make it darker. Yeah.

AND THEN I SAID (god, dream me is embarrassing) "But, like...in The Holiday, I read on IMDB that to make your eyes so shiny, they shined lights right into them while filming. And Cameron Diaz had like 4 lights and you had two. Didn't that hurt because you didn't have glasses on the whole movie. OH is that why you wore them for part of it!?" (*headdesk*) And he was like "Yes! And then for the rest I had special contacts in!"

And then he had to go check out of the hotel and so I went to a Halloween party to wait for the date because APPARENTLY the poolside where I burned his retinas wasn't the real date (Phew?!) and then my date changed from Jude Law to Ben. From Darker London. Who is Neil Gaiman. No really, thatoldgeek so I was kind of glad I woke up before the date happened.

My dreams are so weird.

Ali: "I am not good at verbal book reviews." *awkward silence* ..... ... .. ..... "Or...speaking..."

Alison ♥

My exercycle is awesome. It is in my room and I've already used it twice. Woot took me to get it and Alison came along and getting it into the car was...interesting. I did not help. Woot did it all. And then we went to the BeAcH and we had SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM FROM A VAN and then I FROLICKED IN THE OCEAN UNTIL MY JEANS WERE SOAKED AND I COULDN'T FEEL MY FEET. No, you seriously do not understand how excited this makes me.

...I'm 29. *cough*

Anyway, my presentation on prejudice is nearly finished and I have consumed an entire clove of baked garlic as well as chicken and wedges. Alison should always cook. Garliiiiiccccccc.

And coffee. But not together.

I might be slightly hyper since I spent the entire day studying instead of on the internet (except for the break in the middle with beaches...not the movie though I do love that Bette Midler) and now I can't stop wiggling and giving Alison funny looks which make her be silent awkwardly.

YAY!

I WANT KEIRA KNIGHTLEY'S FACE! BUT SHE IS TAKEN!

/tantrum

I can't find a face for Artemis. This is NOT a real problem, I'm just putting off packing by complaining about nothing ;)

Stupid packing.

OH YES! I forgot a conversation from one of the ladies I work with which occurred during a lull at the registration desk. Jay from Graduations nearly died when we heard.

Her: OH! Hey! What does DNA stand for?!
Me: Deoxyribonucleic acid.
Her: *blink blink* Uhm... It's a joke! It's National Dyslexic Association. You're supposed to say you don't know!
Me: Oh! I didn't know it was a joke!!
Her: That's the first time anyone has actually answered me!! I can't believe you knew that!
Me: *shrugs*

Ah, science. You are a wonderful thing. You make me miss the entire point of conversations sometimes. Thanks.
