Friday after work I went to visit my parents and stay the night. A typical weekend. Then Mom and I hit Wegmans today and bumped into Lynn, who wanted to make plans to hang out with me sometime. Tomorrow worked for both of us, so I'm staying another night at my parents' since they live so much closer to where she lives. Shelby's returning from Anime USA in the early afternoon, so maybe she and Lizzie will tag along.
I am so addicted to New Super Mario Bros. Wii it's insane. I just finished world 7, and have all the star coins up to this point. I'm taking a break from playing right now because my hand is getting major cramps. I'm gonna have to try'n limit my playing some, but I'm determined to have the game finished before next weekend. I'll likely get back on within an hour or so though.
I've got a few eczema patches that appear to be healing since a couple weeks ago. But we'll see how that goes with the weather getting colder and dryer. |

Starting today, to spice things up around ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) cocotapioka, I'm going to have a poll on the 15th day of every month. For the most part they'll likely be silly nonsensical questions, but I'll try to throw in a meaningful one once in awhile.
Anyway, this month's question is in honor of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, which was released in the US today.
Poll #1486008 15th Poll no. 1
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 11Who is your favorite of the Koopalings?

It's a day late now, but in honor of Chris Hallbeck's Birthday, here is a link to The Book of Biff. I don't think I ever mentioned it before, but I've been reading it for a few months now. Good for a chuckle now and again.
Well I got my head shaved again. As much as I like my appearance with long hair, I figure I can let it all go for the winter, then let it come back in spring when I can flaunt myself again, haha. Plus eczema season approaches, so I guess I'm getting a head start with that.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii comes out in three days! I only recently heard of the game, looked into it, and can tell I'm gonna love it. I'm totally getting it the day it comes out.
Also I'm gonna try'n get my Decemberween shopping done early this year, if at all possible before Black Friday.
And in closing, just a couple quick pictures.
Anyone who knows me in person will agree. This guy has my facial features to a T. I seriously did like a double triple quadruple take when watching the Homestar Runner Fan Costumes '09 toon. (Here's the Punkin Show too. Some of them are quite impressive.)
And meet my Animal Crossing town's latest character. RAWR. |

( Click if you dare... )
Happy Halloween!

Okay, disregard what I said two years ago in November.
Cooking Mama: World Kitchen is by far the cutest game ever!
Because I'm feeling generous this evening, bonus points to whomever agrees.

...but Halloween is ten days away and I'm still available. So~ if you're local and have plans for a party or whatever, y'better invite me quick before someone else takes me to theirs! ...Okay fine I'm desperate! Boo. |

-Gardening Mama? Seriously?! Want!! I saw it at the store the other day and overcame temptation to buy it on the spot, which I've been greatly regretting ever since.
-Lovopoly? Seriously?! Would totally want!! If I had a love interest to share it with. Haha, this version makes so much more sense than the original.
-Having just seen the episode "Mr. Monk Goes to Group Therapy," I can definitely tell the series is coming to an end. I won't spoil anything though.
-It's been six years today since Grandpa passed away. Hard to believe it's been that long. I've had a few nostalgic moments scattered throughout today.
-It's been ten months since I started playing Animal Crossing and I'm still hooked as ever. Haha, the end of this flash is so true! XD ..Well... the whole thing is actually.
-The soap in the restrooms at work used to smell like coconut. But they changed it a few months ago. I miss the old soap!
-Speaking of work, tomorrow marks my first year of employment with SBM. Whee~
-I need to stop dining at Sunflower as often as I do. Having conveniently moved closer is no excuse!

My green thumb is a reward in itself.
I now have all the flowers in Animal Crossing.
I'm keeping one of each in storage. I have thousands planted around town. Seriously. Thousands. At least.
(Not pictured are the obvious red, white, and yellow cosmos, pansies, roses, and tulips, which are sprouting like crazy by the day.)

I am indeed happy at my current job. Granted the pay is to sneeze at, I enjoy doing what I do, I like the people I see every day, and I make enough to comfortably live how I live. And especially in this day and age, you've gotta be grateful for that.
I think there is a "dream job" for everyone, depending on how realistic they are; they just require a lot of time and devotion to achieve. If you're looking to be paid $100k/yr to lay on the beach all day while bikini clad women bring you Margaritas and the only "work" you're required to do is to say whether or not you like the flavor you're served, then no. Then there's the lottery. Although this is realistic, it is certainly not something you should plan your future on. ...Nor is it a job. So~ disregard that.
Five or ten years from now I want to be a janitor in an elementary school. That is my dream job. As silly as it sounds, it's a job that I love to do, I'm great with children, and the pay and benefits for a school are about as good as that type of job can get. I can see myself contently working there until the day I retire. And until I make my move, I'm only gaining more experience with my current job that will help me.

I meant to post this Saturday night, but Animal Crossing distracted me something suddenly came up. Either way, four days ago was the ( Raytheon reunion ).

If I broke a mirror, I'd be more worried about the hazardous broken glass. And it's unsafe to walk under a ladder. I'm not superstitious; I think it's about as much hogwash as astrology and horoscopes. I can't count on both my hands how many times this year alone I've crossed the path of a black cat or opened an umbrella indoors. Whether or not you yoink a penny you spot with tails facing up, the chances of you slipping in a puddle later that day do not change. Nor do the chances of your mother's back breaking when carelessly stepping on a sidewalk crack.
The ironic thing however, is that I occasionally catch myself doing good luck rituals, including (but not limited to) crossing my fingers and knocking on wood. Only once every blue moon or two though. Still, I can't help but chuckle inside knowing that logically it won't affect the outcome of anything.

It's out on DVD today. I am so buying it. |
|
I'm getting addicted to Super Smash Bros. Brawl again (I'm surprised I've managed to squeeze in Animal Crossing each day the past couple of weeks). I took some pictures. Enjoy~ I swear if you at least scroll to the Pokémon ones it will be worth your while.
( More Brawl screens~ )

Well I've officially decided on what I'll be dressing up as for Halloween this year. Schoolgirl! Heh heh HOORF!*
I'm gonna wear my tights and shoes from my Alice costume, and my new thick glasses are a plus. So I reckon all I need is a blouse, a plaid skirt, and a giant lollipop and I'm all set. I think I'm gonna buy everything separately and piece it all together rather than getting an actual costume since all I'm finding is, well...
    
...yeeeeah. For one thing, I don't have the chest those tops were made for, and secondly, those skirts are just a tad too short; I'm looking for about mid thigh, maybe~ an inch or two shorter if I go for a skort.
I did come across a couple costumes I actually found decent enough to wear, but I don't like the design. It seems I'm having a little less luck than I did searching for my costume last year.
That's fine though. In fact I probably prefer just putting it all together myself anyway. I'll probably start looking around this weekend for everything.
Also! Who locally is doing what this Halloween? As of thus far I am free!
*Bonus points to whomever can reference the laugh.

-Work has been insane this past month with this huge move going on between two floors. Every day it seems I have more work to do by the end of my shift than the beginning.
-I love how every time I go outside I see insects everywhere. Yellow jackets, cicadas, ants, you name it. I saw a walking stick at work the other day. It was awesome.
-This burnette in a yellow top and orange shorts walked by the lake outside work the other day. At least from my angle, it was Daisy to a T.
-I finally got a blue rose in Animal Crossing this morning. Possibly the hardest flower to obtain.
-Speaking of Animal Crossing, the only thing my entire museum is missing is the nice painting. ..I have this ominous feeling that Redd won't have it in his shop until sometime next year. And that when he does, it will be a forgery.
-My hair has reached the required length to give me bed head in the morning.
-There's a Raytheon reunion the beginning of next month that I'm so looking forward to. It will be nice to see everybody again.
-Stay tuned to find out what I've decided to be for Halloween this year~

This entry is overdue by about a week now, but I guess better late than never. I never would've imagined I'd get so choked up upon leaving my apartment with Jen; it's not like we'll never see each other again. Nonetheless, it didn't hit me hard enough that we were no longer roommates until I closed the front door for the very last time. I cried my three mile drive home which that morning seemed nearly a hundred. All kinds of flashbacks of the times we shared started pouring in.
♥ Our online dance party via webcam.
♥ Our online Valentine's Day dinner via webcam.
♥ My very first trip to Texas to meet her in person.
♥ Just how awesome she is overall.
♥ My second visit to Texas.
♥ Her coming to my apartment from Texas.
♥ Our day at Kings Dominion.
♥ Our moving from the old apartment.
♥ The Halloween party we hosted.
♥ The Birthday cake I made for her.
♥ All the delicious food she and I made.
♥ Visiting an animal sanctuary with her.
♥ Our night of Sunflower and Mario Kart.
♥ And everything else that took place together.
Thank you for everything, Jen. What I said a few times before still stands. You're the best thing that's happened to me. Ever. Even if I didn't always show it. I just hope the times we shared living together were as meaningful to you as they were me. But! No longer roommates doesn't mean no longer best of friends. More memories with you and I are yet to be made, just further spread out. |
