I just got off the phone with Will and couple of minutes ago. He wanted me to tell everyone that Joyce is alright but she is in surgery right now. I guess a stone became lodged so they had preform surgery. They expect it to go alright and for about an hour and a half. So, send some love out for the two of them, I'm sure they will appreciated it. |

I had today off so I figured it was about time that I update.
Well, the biggest thing going on for me right now is, I have a puppy. She's an 11 week old daschund pup. She's really fun and wonderful to have around even though she has been a troublemaker today. It's very much like having a kid I think - she's *very* needy. (Zara you still have to meet her...)
Things at the house have been pretty good. It's about 1000 degrees in here right now - needless to say I am feelin pretty lethargic. I wish it would cool down a little bit. I wrote down some music today which is good I haven't been motivated to do that in quite some time now. Not that I feel it is good by any means but its stuff to work off of.
I went out with Manda yesterday it was nice to just spend some time with her. We picked up melissa and gave her a ride home, then we were off to EMS where she bought a camelpack. We headed over to coconuts for some music and I got the slience of the lambs dvd really cheep so that was good times. Target was next on the list and then the Wolf Road Diner where we had Baklava and coffee. Mmmmm Baklava times... She stayed at my place for the night which is always cool by me. I felt bad though I came in at about 10:40 and vixs was already in bed. I think we woke her up.
Well I guess thats about it for now - My life isnt too exciting at the moment. Later ya'll Ooohh I almost forgot - I'll have DSL very soon so I can actually be online at my house now. ::grins:: Ok now thats all. |

Today has been a shitty day. I found out that Allie has to be put down soon. So, I rushed home to see him because I didn't know if he would be put down or not... I was able to get home before my parents left for the vets office so I came for the ride.
It's funny, I knew that he was dying but it's so much harder to actually hear it from someone else. When the vet saw him he told us that he had cancer and that it was spreading very quickly - he wasn't going to make it much longer. I know the vet wanted to put him down today but since I was there he gave us one more maybe two more days with him. The only funny part was the vet said to my mother... "I would have put him down today but your son looked so upset..."
Soo yeah, I am staying over at my parents tonight to be with him and I am off tomorrow so I figure I'll stick around. I wish there was something I could do for him. He has always been such a great companion I am really going to miss him... |

I am finally moved in with Vixs! I know it's been a long time since I posted last but I actually had an excuse this time.
So whats been going on? I have all my stuff finally moved over into the new house - including my cats. Unfortunatly Luna seems to hate it so far although today she has been comming out more for attention.
Well there's still a lot of work to be done but it has definatly come a long way inthe past month or so. I love my room it is painted white and has painted bamboo on the walls. (Thanks Z) The livingroom is also great with its orange flare and cozy atmosphere. I really am feeling at home at last.
Not to say that there aren't things I miss at home. It difficult for me to sleep here... I'm not used to living right besides a busy trucking road. I miss the crickets too. It's really strange to be out of the house again, however I am definatly enjoying it. I have noticed I have been eating a whole lot better and I love the cooking. (Ahhh domestic things!) So yeah...
We should have our phone on in a couple days - sorry to all of you that tried to call but weren't able to get through. The phone company has been a real hassle and Vixs and I are both pissed about it. They said that monday they would have it on... we'll see I guess.
Work has been a bit of a bitch recently. I am losing my manager once again due to the imcompetence of upper management. I guess the only reason I really worry is cause I'm always afraid he won't be accepting of me. Whatever... I'll wear my ties anyways. ;)
Well I have to cut this short but I will *try* to post more later it's tough though since we don't have a phone yet or internet. Don't worry though I'll keep ya posted ;) |

Funny Story: I was at work and this older women who always comes in comes up to the counter. She's one of these sad older loney people - (so she feels the need to tell you her life stories and such). She's prolly about 60. Sooo I was waiting on her and I'm talkin to her for a while... she's talking about her husband or something and eventually my assistant manger joins the conversation. But, before she leaves she tells use her name and asks what ours are. (I have my nametag on BTW) So this is how it went:
Women: "What's your name?"
Me: "Liz"
Women: "What!? Lee?"
Me: "No it's Liz"
Women: "Liz? What is your full name?"
Me: "Elizabeth"
Women: "That's a girls name!"
Me: "I know"
Women: "I Swear to God you look like a boy!"
Me: "Well, sorry"
Women: "No I SWEAR you look like a boy!"
Me: "okay..."
Women: "You are wearing a tie.."
Me: "Yeah women can do that now."
It was too funny. I couldn't believe how upset it made her... Things like this make my job bearable. |

I've been really busy the past few weeks. Unfortunatly I haven't even been around to check e-mails or update in a long time so sorry everyone. I have been working a bunch (as always) but I have also been trying to get a webbsite and business cards designed to open a photography business with Stacey.
I am super excited to be moving out in a month. Vicky and I have been talking a lot about what we want to do with the house and all that so it's been fun. She'll will be home mid-may, but will be taking a trip right after she gets home so it may take a while to get all of our stuff moved in. I have a lot of plans for the house including, making shelves, repainting all the rooms, getting rugs, and screening in the porch. Hopefully her and I can look over some of these this weekend if she comes home.
I just found out yesterday that Vixs and I will have two more members in the house - two anol lizards. Will was over yesterday and asked me if I would take care of his lizards while he's in Iraq, so I hope she doesnt mind - (will ya?) If he goes, he'll be there for at least 18 months - Knowing me, I won't want to give them back when he comes home ;)
What else.... I am thinking of going on that sailing trip with Amanda in July. I dont know if I'll have the money but we'll see... it would be a great trip. It's for 5 or 6 days living on the boat. And, I could get certified by the end of it. Also I think Manda would feel better having someone else there with her. This trip goes out from Rockland Maine, so it would be a nice road trip there at least. I am also trying to get Vicky to go with us for company cause I know that she'd love it. |

Exciting News:
First, not *sooooo* exciting news: I dyed me hair Blue! It's really great, even my mother doesn't mind it. It's a blue/green color kinda turquois I guess... it looks good though. I can even get away with it for work. Ok on to bigger stuff.....
I just got tickets to visit Zara in Japan! After a lot of searching, I found cheep tickets for 900 bucks round trip. I am so excited. I only have to change planes once each way, and the layover times aren't too long. (The longest time was 3 hours... but I can amuse myself that long.) I can't wait to see Zara ::grins::
I went out and got another book on Japanese so *maybe* just maybe i'll be able to speak a little bit to get around. Not that its a big deal since I'll be with Z the whole time. I also got one of those language cd tutorials - it's actually really good. I was supprised... I just listen to it in my car on my way to work and I am actually learning how to speak some things.. the downside is I can't read it... only speak. Still between the books and this it helps.
In other news, I am now broke due to my new huge credit card bill.. ah well its definatly worth it. I'll just need to save *all* of my paychecks to go towards school and the house. I really wanted to pick up some paint for the house and get that going but I think that will have to wait untill next paycheck. Lately it's been hard to even get spare time to myself... Sooo the painting may have to wait untill later.
Speaking of the house, I can't wait till vixs comes home for my birthday.... oh man I am starting to feel old... I don't wanna be 21. It's the *last* good age to be... It's all downhill from here ;) But seriously, I am excited to have vixs home again. Lately we don't even talk much cause of our scheduals. I actually want to go sledding on my birthday LoL! I could care less about the drinking. I know, I'm weird. Sooo.. yeah I guess that's it. |

I know that I haven't posted in a long time but life has been really busy since Christmas... finally its slowing down. Work has been a bit overwhelming at times, especially through the holidays.
This winter break for the holidays was nice, I saw a bunch of my friends quite a bit. Vicky came home and stayed for longer than usual. We went out a bunch, to all of our favorite places except Yoshi's sushi - we will have to hit that when she returns in the spring. *side note* (I can't wait for spring I am so sick of all this cold. It was -15 out this morning when I left for work at five. That's just sick. I miss the summer!) Ok back to long-ass recap. Vixen and I sent a package to Zara I hope it gets there alright. It should be getting there in the next couple days with any luck. I just found out that Zara *may* have given me the wrong address so I am a bit concerned.
I've missed not having Zara around for the break. Its just not quite the same without her. Especially during a few adventures vixs and I had. And by adventures I mean we went to Howe Caverns where there was this annoying 7th grade teacher there, who *knew* everything about earth science. It was pretty funny though. Even the tour guide was very sarcastic towards him. Melinda came up for a few days and she came with us to the caverens, vix's girlfriend also came down joined us. Mariah (Her girlfriend) was really nice and fun. I was glad to meet her more cause the last time we met it was very brief.
I saw Alice before she went back to school... I wish I could of seen her a bit more but at least we met up a few times. The one night was really nice... she came over to my place for a while and we went out to bob's. We actually got to sit down and catch up for a while. We came back to my place talked a bit more and played some video games... it was good times. Another night... Simone, Alice and I went out one night and saw "Big Fish". It was wierd but pretty good.
Alice gave me the book The Transgendered Warrior and a Megadeth Cd. I am really enjoying both of them. I am really glad to have seen Alice, I've really missed seeing her. Oh I forgot She's all pierced out now - I am so envious of her LoL... She's got both eyebrows, septum, lip and plugs now. It looks really cute especially since they are all purple titanium balls.
I have been trying to meet up with AJ but it's been difficult to find time that we are both off and not doing anything. He seems to be doing well though. I havent really talked to the rest of the group in a long time like Ferro and Yanni. I should try to catch up with the two of them and see how they are.
Ohhh Vixs and I had our first "party" in our house. It was nothing special but fun anyways. We had it on New years eve. We cut my hair really really short, its about a inch long now. I really like the way it looks even if my parents don't ;) Naw... actually my mom is getting used to it now. I will try to post a pic once I get a scanned one. We just hung out, drank a little, and everyone slept over. Unfortunatly Scott and I had work at 6 so we only got an hour or so for sleep... it was worth it though.
Last night I went over to Stacey and Seans place... after a little while of being there Sean became bored and decieded that we "needed" to stretch out my earlob to a gadge that was 4 larger than I already had. So yeah that was fun... not as bad as I though it was gonna be. The next morning we went out to watch a snowmobile race. It was great to watch but at 8 in the morning my ass was freeing and we cut out of there a bit early. And by a bit early I mean we stayed for only an hour and a half... instead of the full 6 hours. Oh well.... So it was a pretty good day.
What else... hrmmm... I'm sure I'll think of more later that I wanted to post but for now this seems like enough. |

For a couple weeks now I have been cleaning out the house that Vicky and I are supposed to move in to this May. If you haven't heard about it, it's a complete disaster area.
The old tenents were filthy people. They left all of their belongings behind. They left their kid's clothing, dressers and bed. Even their personal things I found - things I never wanted to find. In the one bedroom I found a used tampon, a dirty diper, dog shit under the bed, and a dildo with lube. Thats just the really nasty stuff... but there was broken glass *everywhere*, food wrappers, cigaratte butts, and trash all over. Not to mention the piles of dirt in this place.
These people played paintball in the livingroom. Played with BB guns - shooting up the walls, and in the one bedroom there's a bullethole through the window. Nothing was takin care of... they punched through the ceiling and left holes in the walls.
The disturbing part of all this is they had a little kid in this house. I found baby pictures - They had a cute little girl. Prolly 2 or three years old now. I just find it so fucking sad to think that there's this little girl who is being raised by these people, and that in the end she will most likely be just like them. She prolly will be a drop out of highschool, never go to college and work a shitty job for the rest of her life. I mean of course this isn't for sure... but I have a feeling it will be. I just feel like this kid doesn't have a chance at a decent life, if this is all she knows. I don't know... It just bothers me. |

I've been thinking over the whole problem with Howie yesterday and I want to report him but at the same time I don't want to sound immature or whiny I guess. I mean it happened and I didn't do anything about it in the first place. He's so arrogent, ignorant and rediculious that it seems pointless to me. Even if I do report him what will that accomplish? He wont get fired, i'll still have to work with him and it will be more uncomfortable. If I report him he'll prolly hate gays and lesbains more. He won't learn anything from it. After thinking things over, I really don't give a shit about what he believes. I know who I am, and I'm happy this way... that's all that really matters. ::shrugs:: I don't know... What do you think? |

So I was at work today and I was cleaning the freezer out. The freezer is part of the department but off to the side quite a bit. Anyways, Howie (the assistant manager) starts talking about God and religion -[he's christian of some sort] and he brings of gays... and starts calling them sinners and saying that they will all go to hell and deserve it. He acted so fucking condesending about it too... and that he would go to heaven or whatever and that he was such a good fucking person. Whatever... if you go and judge people you can't be that good.
I don't think he knew I could hear him from in the freezer but I did... and I was really really pissed. I stayed in there for prolly 20 mins trying to cool off cause I knew if I left the freezer I would deck him in the face, no doubt. So instead I punched the crap out of the boxes in there. A kid I work with stood up for me and said that he had no right to judge, that only God could - I was thankful for that at least. Howie just blew it off though.
I am still *really* angry about it. You know if he feels that way fine, but he shouldn't dare say that knowing that I am a lesbian *and* that I am prolly in hearing range. No, even that would have been ok if he said it in a less hateful manner I suppose. But at work? I don't think so. What The Fuck? You don't say that kind of shit at work. What if a Gay or Lesbain customer walked by and heard that? He'd be in trouble for that - but I guess its ok when a employee hears it? I still want to hurt him, I really do. |

I had a really crappy day today at work. Tom (my boss) might be getting transfered to another store because he got into a fight with the seafood vice president. The fight was mainly over not having enough staff and they won't give enough money for payroll to hire new people. How fucked up is that? If this happens I don't know what I am going to do. I don't want to stay there cause *everyone* will leave if he does... But I really need to stay for the money for school and the apartment. I may try to get transfered to the brunswick PC instead or something. I don't know though... its so fucked up. You know, it had to happen just when I start to make some real friends. I guess I just have to wait and see what's going to happen... |

Soooooo... I got my fish tank tonight with Manda. I really like the tank it's a small 5 gallon one. I was all excited and I bought a plant and driftwood-like piece for it with black and white gravel on the bottom. I also bought a few fish including a "sucker" fish as I like to call it - [you know, the ones that stick to the sides and eat algae]. I also got 2 black mollys and 4 neons. I decieded that I would also put in one of my bettas since they are said to do well with other fish, just not other bettas. Manda had done it without a problem so I figured I'd try it too.....
Well it didn't go as well as planned. First I put in my betta Alkaline, and he got so stressed I thought he was going to die so I took him out. Next I put in Arizona who spazzed out and tried to eat one of my neons. Arizona grabbed him by the eye and shook him untill he lost the eye. I immediatly took Arizona out of the tank. Well... the one eyed neon is *still* alive and it has been for a few hours. I figured he'd die almost instantly... but apparently I was wrong. I hope he pulls through for me. *crosses fingers* If he does I am going to name him Stacey - and if any of you know Stacey you'll understand LoL (Watch out lazy eye!)
I have one more betta, but after the other two I am afraid of whats next lol... I think I am going to get a few more neons and maybe some other type of colorful fish to brighten things up in there. Sooo its been an exciting night to say the least. Ohh and while Amanda and I were out I got a few things for some "care packages" I wanted to send out. I also got myself a Samurai Jack movie and watched it tonight LoL [I love that cartoon]. It's been a nice night... |

I had a good day at work today - no really nasty customers for a change... well except one but thats pretty good for one day. I had some lady, bitch me out because she asked me to cut her off a piece of salmon that was three inches wide -- So I did... but apparently my three inches and hers were *way* different. Mine was a true 3 inches, hers was 4 and 1/2. Oh man she pissed me off. But yeah other than that it went smoothly. Well almost... I got my hand smashed between these two big carts at work... It hurts like a bitch! LoL --I guess it really wasn't too smooth or good of a day. But I'm in a good mood anyways. I'm getting a one dollar raise which will put me over the 8 dollar mark. I'm really glad, it will really help me out with saving for school and the apartment.
Since I now *know* I am getting the raise, I am gonna go out and get a new fish tank to celebrate. I want to get a small 5 gallon tank to put ontop of my dresser... nothing big. I'm excited though. I'm gonna see if I can get a couple hermit crabs too. (They are such neat little critters!) Maybe while I am out there I can coinvince Amanda to go to Yoshi's Sushi with me... MMmmm the have the best spider rolls. It will be great to have tomorrow off - I've gone ten days since my last day off. Maybe now I can catch up on my guitar... hopefully. I guess thats it for now - Goodnight Y'all |

I'm still Alive. Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Work has been really busy, we lost a bunch of workers for a bunch of reasons and it left us really shorthanded. It's nice though cause I get a lot of overtime pay now I guess. I wish I worked mornings though [I will soon with any luck] I find that after I get out of work I am very awake and eveyone here is going to bed and it leaves me very bored. What else... I really like the guys I am working with, they make it much more fun and exciting to say the least. Next week I am suppsed to go see a bad movie with one of them - He has been trying to drag me out for a few weeks now.
The past week or so I was spending a lot of time with Zara before she left for Japan. We spent a lot of time outside or at Bob's talking "which was nice" ;) I babysat for her dog Sage for the weekend when she went to NYC for her flight. I was very supprised at how well Sage and I got along. Usually she's very nervous acting but she made herself at home here and followed me *everywhere*. She reminded me a lot of my old dog Freda.
I can't wait for fall to hit. I want to go out with my camera and get some nice shots. I want to start shooting for myself again, I haven't done that in a long time. My wedding pictures came back and they look pretty good if you ask me. I think Jyll will be happy with them. All I need now is to get a day off from work to see her and discuss them.
I decieded that I want to go back to school next fall. I'm planning on going for Culinary Arts. I'm getting really excited at the idea of it in general. Now all I need to do, is figure out how I will pay for the apartment and all that stuff while I go. [Thank god for overtime!] I'm just saving like crazy untill I move in.
Other than all this stuff not too much has been going on. My computer is dying quickly and that is partly why I haven't been postig a much. I'll be really sad if it dies all together and I loose all my music. At least I'll have the Mac left. [It's what I am using now actually] Im trying to catch up with all the e-mails and I'm reading LJ so hopefully I'll soon be up to date ;) |

I have been waiting up for Manda to come home... I have no idea of where she is and it worries me a bit. I mean its not that uncommon for Manda to go somewhere without tellin me, but it's getting late and her last post said she was leaving work around 3:30pm. It drives me nuts when she does shit like this I wish she would just call me and tell me what is going on so I don't wait up all night for her... I wish she'd get home soon.. only because without my parents around, if she had a problem I need to help her out...
On a better side note, Yanni and Zara came by tonigt for a while around midnight which was great cause I was by myself tonight and the company was nice. I missed Yan-chan :)
What else... well work has been fun aside from upper bosses being asses but you get that anywhere I guess. I've noticed that doing this job again, is making my hands take a beating though LoL. Tuesday a huge cutting board was dropped on my fingers and today I reached into a box and someone left a knife in it which I impailed my finger on... fun times. It's fun though. I'm kinda dissapointed with next weeks hours I'm only working 26 so hopefully that will go up the following week. Everything else for me has been alright I guess. |

Well I haven't posted in a little while cause I have been pretty busy with work. Work has been good its kinda fun and I like the guys I am working with... plus its good to see my kiddo more. I'm glad to be working again but I feel like I need to do more. I am thinking of going back into martial arts if I can afford it and find a decent place. I really want to start fighting in the SCA soon, but my armor isn't finished yet... ah well. Anyways I guess that's about it for now... |

Well I started work (again) today. It went well. I didnt feel awkward comming back and I wasn't treated like a newbie which was nice for a change. I even was by myself for a while, which I was supprised at. The one thing I hate and love about work, is that I always have to prove myself to the guys... it can be fun but when it come to lifting and throwing things it gets a bit difficult. I make it though. LoL I'm working 20 hours this week which sucks, but next week it will go up to 32 thankfully. Hopefully by the end of the summer I'll have 40. I saw AJ for a little bit, and when my shift finished, Zara showed up and we went to Bob's for a bit.
My parents are going away for the week... it'll be a nice change for a little while. Not that my parents are bad or anything but sometimes it's nice to be on your on and have the house to yourself. Well not totally by myself, Manda will be here but still.
I just made a chai tea and it is soooo good. I'm always too lazy to make them or I don't think to. They make me think of Alice, I haven't seen her in a while or talked to her.. I wonder what she's up to and how she is...
I made a new Icon for myself... I'm not sure if I like it or not yet... I think its growing on me though. Someday I would love to have a lizard tattoo ::grins:: and a septum piercing. Stacey and Sean want to get it pierced for me, as a house warming gift lol! How great would that be? I know I'm nuts ::laughs:: I guess thats it... |
