Birthday to me.

Travis rocked and got me a big ceramic bowl that has a flat part on the side so that if i want, i can angle it on its side during mixing or something. He also got me 12 baby ceramic ramekins, 12 big sister ramekins (im talking about their size, here), one baby whisk, two baby spatulas, two baby pancake flippers, two baby box graters, a vegetable peeler that i wanted, a cream pitcher, and 12 tapas plates. Not only is that everything I wanted from the local kitchen store, HE DIDNT EVEN HAFTA ASK ME. He actually listened when we went there like, 5 days ago, and I was just goofing around looking at all the little cute things I wanted. It must have happened some time after the wedding...he's the best hubby ever.

Thank you to Leia for the v-balloons, thank you to Joe and Nykki for lunch, thank you to Colleen and Terra for the happy birthday wishes via phone.

Also, Travis didnt make me drive anywhere far to get a yummy meal at an out-of-town restaurant or to see a movie. When I had tried to decide what I wanted, thats what I had originally said...but then I got tired and I said that I didnt want to do that. Lucky for me, Travis didnt really want to do that either. SO, we ended up having hot dogs and cheese fries for dinner and then staying in bed and watching TV all night. Now, that isnt very different than what we normally do, but it still rocked major socks.

Again, birthday to me, for another hour and 16 minutes.

I FOUND MY WEDDING RING!


Now, guess where it was? IN MY JEANS POCKET. You know, the jeans i've worn since Saturday. It was tucked in that little piece of pocket that sort of hides behind the snappy looking button thingy. I dont know how I could have missed it, seeing as I've turned the pockets inside out and shaken the whole jeans upside down. However, I dont care. I dont care at all. I FOUND IT!

BEST DAY EVER! (Well, maybe not, but it sure doesnt suck)

Alright, kids, two things.

1: [livejournal.com profile] farawaypoints rocks my socks. Thanks for the balloons, hotness! They're the first v-gifts i've ever gotten :)

2: Through a lot of ridiculous little glitches, like being in the middle of changing my name, my address, and all that shit, I cant vote today. I expected to feel bad about this, but I dont. Thats right, I dont feel bad for not voting. I do hope that my husband will write more about why he and I think that not everyone SHOULD vote, but to sum it up, here we go: I have not had the ability to educate myself properly on the candidates in my voting district. All I've heard is smear campaigns and bullshit radio advertisements. Yes, I should have made time. Yes, voting is a right. Today, it is a right I choose not to exercise. If I could go to the ballot boxes today, all my little sheet of paper would have on it is third party candidates. Before anyone accuses me of blindly voting along party lines, Im not blind. I just think its bullshit that third party candidates have to sue to get back on the ballot next time if they dont get enough votes this time. Absolute bullshit. I dont share the value set of the republicans, or the democrats, or really any other party. The libertarians are the closest match I can get, so I tend to vote for them if I dont care for any of the other candidates campaign platforms. But, again, I havent had the chance to educate myself on their platforms, so no voting for me. Im 22. I know I "should" vote. I know its the hot thing to be politically active/conscious. But I believe that I am doing the best thing I can for my area by not voting for some schmuck because his radio ads were better than another guys.

Oh, and by the way, Im sick of all the people telling me to vote. It just smacks of "Vote or Die" which just pisses me off on a lot of levels. Again, maybe my husband will explain more. At the moment, I have a lunch date to keep!

It still takes my breath away that I cant find my wedding ring. If it made any sense, i'd get a god damned metal detector and start scanning the house. Is there any such thing as a diamond detector? Mine is nice and big...At this point, Im feeling more numb than anything. I just look and look and look...and even when I dont look, I cant find it. Its killing me.

Also, god damn the Bears.

At least Im back on my medicine. I found some lithium from a former prescription in our room, and so now things are better on that front. Doesnt take away the staggering pain of feeling irresponsible and evil. On the plus side, I've got my wonderful, amazing husband laying next to me with his arms wide open, waiting for me to come snuggle in them. I think I need to snuggle him.

Later, world.

Somehow, I've lost my wedding ring. I wore it to breakfast this morning, and must have taken it off for some reason when I got home. I have no idea why, as the only reason i tend to ever take it off is housecleaning or showering. I did shower before I went to work, but I took it off sometime before then. We've ripped apart the room, searched the rest of the house, and given the car a precursory glance. Tomorrow, with daylight, I'll rip that apart too.

I've cried my eyes out, and even though Travis isnt in the least upset about it (its just an object, he says), I feel like the most monsterous wife ever.

I need my ring back. I know that its just an item, and its only representative of the memories I have of our engagement and wedding...but its my ring. I need my ring. I cant believe I've lost it.

Alright, my ropey friends...I need some help.

So, last year when I was demoing for Jack Elfrinks class, he was teaching some singlehanded knots. It drove me slightly insane, because had I known they were coming, I would have learned them and been able to be of more help. This made me realize that I dont know a damn thing about knots. I know how to tie some of them, and I know where I can find websites that teach me the knots I want to learn. However, I dont always have internet access. A book would really help me out, but I dont want some giant, monsterous text that weighs more than I do and teaches me things that I dont need to know.

So, any basic, lightweight, well photographed books on basic bondage knots? Anyone?

Happy halloween, everyone!

Things arent very exciting here in Macomb. Im still off my bipolar meds until the 13th, which is killing me. This is the first time I've ever been off my medicine and have found myself absolutely desperate to get back on it. I think thats a sign of healthiness. Something that is a really big struggle for me though, is feeling like Im not the same person when Im on my medicine. To be frank, I like me a lot more when Im on it, because Im not so hard on my body and my emotions, and Im a lot easier to deal with. Being able to make it through a day without a random sobfest is a big perk of the medicine. At the same time, though, I dont like being such a different person when im on the medication. It makes me feel like Im playing some kind of role that isnt really me.

Im rambling, really. Just another negative side effect of being off the medication. Things are going to be just fine, and as soon as I get my medicine back, it will be a lot easier to believe that. I just want it back NOW already!

Back to work for me, and then off to CU!

Okay guys, filming for my Hells Kitchenmawhatzit is over. I also have to send in a picture of me. So, we took a lot of them, and I can only stand these five. My self esteem is NOT doing good today. Which one do you guys think i should send in?

oh my goodness. I just saw a new Proactiv commercial with Lindsay Lohan. I remember the days when she was funny and attractive and didnt sound like a 63 year old woman who had chainsmoked since birth.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LINDSAY OF MEAN GIRLS FAME?!

Too funny.

So, uh, if I dont die by Tuesday, Im going to come to Champaign for Halloween. This will entail me arriving in the city probably around 5-5:15 and going straightaway to Ruby Tuesdays for some eats. After that, I will be heading to maybe wings and definitely Subversion. So, if people would like to hang out with me or each other, AT RUBY TUESDAYS THERE SHALL BE PEOPLE!!!

I hope. Please? I wont cough on you or anything, promise.

By all that is holy, I dont want to get out of bed and go to work right now. I want to move in to one of these two places and never leave them either.

Oh, and not being sick would be awesome too.

Okay guys, i need to know some things so that I can do this video application.

While I know you're my friends, and thusly biased, what would you say about me if you didnt know me and just saw me on TV for the first time? What sort of impression do you think I'd leave you with?

Also, it asks me to detail the most outrageous thing that has ever happened to me. Im not sure how to do that. Maybe I just havent had anything "outrageous" happen. What would you guys say is "outrageous"?

Lastly, could you guys describe my personality? I need the positives and the negatives here.

Thank you, friends in LJ-land!

Woohoo! I just got an email requesting that I send in a videotaped application to be on Hells Kitchen 3. Guess Im going to have to beg Boomer and Wes for some help.

Im a little nervous about this. Also, there is the difficulty of needing to be able to take 6 or more weeks off work if I make the show. Perhaps I could somehow convince my bosses at Magnolias that it would be a good thing for them, but since I wont be working there more than about another 9 months, I think that would be hard. I would also have to be away from Travis for a long time. That would be rough on me.

Although, I guess Im just worrying over things that havent happened yet.

Think I should go for it?
terrorlynn: (Default)
This is some bullshit.

Im trying to find a doctor here in town that Travis and I can see today. We cant breathe, we're feverish, snotty, all sorts of great things. Moving is really difficult. I just want someone that will take us and fix us as soon as possible, today if possible.

I hate being sick. I wanna be healthy now.

/whine.

Two posts in one day. The excitement you must be feeling.

So, theres this big Halloween party we're going to the first weekend in November. The theme is Nightmare Before Christmas, and Trav and I need to come up with costumes. We really really really dont want to be Jack and Sally, because for the love of heaven, everyone will be Jack and Sally...and...well, I dont think we could pull it off.

Some help, please?

Man, there is some kind of unpleasant cold going around, and I think I've got it for the second time. Its some bullshit, if you ask me. Of course, you didnt ask me...but I think you needed to know anyway.

So, Im unexpectedly stuck at work until 5pm today, which makes me a little grouchy. There are times I wonder what Im even doing here. I know that the job market is crappy in this town and that if I quit this job I wouldnt have much of a chance at getting another one that gives me the same flexibility or even some level of enjoyment. I just dont care for this very much. Thankfully for me, I have my job at Magnolias, and that keeps me generally content on the job front.

Married life, for all my friends that have asked, is pretty darn neat. It doesnt feel much different than "being-engaged-and-living-together" life, except that theres way more paperwork involved. Im stuck in the middle of the last name transition, which is a bit annoying. Its totally worth it though to be married to the greatest man in the world. Even when we're not feeling well, he wakes me up with the kiss monster and lots of cuddles and makes mornings suck a little less. In the freezing cold, he bikes to work to get me lunch. He puts up with my incessant babbling about random crap. He lets me call him Pants and Beans and all sorts of other ridiculous nicknames. Best of all, hes mine. ALL mine :).

Im now playing in two D&D games, both of which are ridiculously fun. My roommates seem to get cooler the longer I live with them (which I didnt think would be the case, especially now that Trav and I are married.) I always wanted my own place after we got married, and I figured that it would start to get irksome really quick to have roommates after the wedding. However, that hasnt shown itself to be the case. We've all settled in to a sort of happy coexistence, functioning nicely.

I'll be posting pictures from Ireland soon. I miss being there a lot. It was such a great time.

By the way, November 7th is my birthday. Travis has to be out of town for a business thing, which sucks. So, to console myself, Im going to a strip club. Breasts make everything better. If you'd like to come along, send me an email and I'll give you the details. It'll be a lot of fun.

Hope everything is going well for you peeps out in LJ-land!

So, I dont know why I feel the need to get this off my chest, but I feel like I need to get it out of my head. It involves a frank discussion about matters regarding my sexuality and sexual practices, so click only if you feel like you'd like to know what goes on inside my head.

Ramblings )

I guess I should get back to work.
