h'okay, so. here's the earth.. just chillin'...

so.
i kinda dropped off the face of.. the internet... hypothetically.
fancy phones make it impossible to truly get away from the internet
not that i was really trying
it's more so my lack of effort to access a computer
and do internetty things such that require more than a phone to accomplish
i.e. blogging

i have yet to post a single thing about the House on the Rock, Gathering of the Gods weekend.
i will.
i promise.
i just. i need the energy to properly describe something so vastly amazing...
it just requires a little more sleep, or possibly caffeine - neither which i have enough of at the moment
and also for me to finally pay attention to how this danged macbook works and resize photos so as not to take up 5 screens worth just for one image
that might also be blamed on my lack of reading the manual for my camera
either way, the result is the same
point being, to give credit to the glorious weekend that was HotR, i need to be at my best
and right now... i am on the verge of sinking into my bed...

so other, less important things.
i finally replaced my copy of Bulfinch's Mythology [The Complete Texts]
not that any of you knew it was missing.
i erroneously loaned it out to a not so trustworthy coworker. wah.
but. excitement.
arrived just in time, too, because i just finished Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
WHICH
dear couple i sat next to, the first night at HotR
THANK YOU for recommending this book to me. i am HOOKED.
i can't wait for the next one.

other things i am in the process of replacing?
my macbook battery.
probably the BIGGEST cause of my not doing computery type things
is because if i unplug my macbook it dies completely and loses everything
which, although a magnetic power cord is a great idea, it is also HORRID
as it easily bumps and jiggles and causes macbooks with dead batteries to lose everything currently going on.

with that i think i shall bring my rambling to an end.
and quite possibly snuggle up to a pillow, and a penguin, and an electric blanket

OH. one more thing.
i gave my dad, and my mom's "little sister" [from big brother, sister] both books for All Hallow's Read.
success!



[also, for anyone who isn't sure what my title is about, go here. if you don't laugh at least once, we are probably horribly incompatible.]

christmas needs to stay out of october. and preferably november as well.

early christmas ads drive me bonkers.
end of story.

on a side note.
i kind of forgot when i started this, that blogging takes just a tad bit of dedication.
and unfortunately, as much as i planned this weekend way long ago, i also didn't plan it.
one might say, it snuck up on me.
things are falling together, some at a more chaotic and rushed pace...
but nonetheless, they are falling together, as opposed to apart. so i will handle whatever speed it might occur at.

mixtapes long ago promised are being finalized to come with.

thinking upon it, i've concluded that i should add a little colour to my blog.
yes, pun intended.

so. mixes almost done.

packing is. well.
i kind of picked out articles of clothing. and they're kind of in a semi-neat pile.
we are not photographing that.

and i just lost my train of thought.
sure sign that i should probably go to bed.
that and the early morning that is looming before me.

but!
before i go.
what good is a blog with only one picture?

[p.s. that's phoenix. also known as 'fang' thanks to my parents.]

goodnight!

so wrap me up in dreams and death

well. that was a bit of a bland first start.
though i'm not sure i can make today much more interesting.
four days of the week, most of my waking hours are spent working.
on 3rd shift.
this was one of those for days. or is?
i guess it depends on the day begins or ends for each individual.
but honestly. my point is only that, it is rare that anything happens at work that is interesting enough to tell a story about later.

but!

my dreams are pretty interesting.

in the past two days, sleeping, i've been abused by a customer, ignored by friends, accused of murder, in a car chase, and most recently shot in the stomach by a coworker- right in front of a hospital! and he wouldn't let me go inside.

with that being said, i suppose it's time to see what today's sleep has in store for me!

well. there's that.

there was a time, i used to blog.
i was twelve? perhaps.
then i didn't blog. then i did again.
late teens, early twenties?
then i didn't again.
and now here i am.
i don't feel witty or interesting enough to be blog worthy.
but i miss it. i miss the feeling of the days where you make a post, and it feels AMAZING.
and. well. if you don't blog at all, those days are numbered at ZERO.
so. they may be few and far between. but at least they will be.
hopefully i amuse at least one person in the process.


this was brought about by a series of both unfortunate [and slightly miserable] and heart-warming events.
i'm not sure i do [or will ever] feel up to the full story.
but.
if nothing else. i am here because i am excited for the upcoming weekend.
the Gathering of the Gods weekend at House on the Rock.
i have been looking forward to this since the first notice went out.
and plans almost went awry. but. with a little push from a very... motivational... person, i am going to make it work.
and i am going to have fun.
and i am going to make friends.
because i can.


so. there's that!
