If your house was on fire and you could only grab three things, what would they be?
Laptop(With all my MUSIC and FILES) A prepacked suitcase with all Supernatural Stuffs/Dark Angel DVDs/Psych DVDs) :) And my Pancho, my Amazonian Lorro Parrot-y thing. I love that bird even though he tries to bite me all the dang time!

Capital A for Awkward
Hey everybody.
Good news.
Today, I went to the local college to give them my transcripts. I got a letter saying I was going to get financial aide. So of course, since I need to go back to school, I went to see what I should do next. The semester starts next week. Wow. Intense.
I go...and end up leaving fully registered...classes picked and an idea of how much finaide I'll have left over for my books. Intense. I really don't know what happened.
Anyways, now that that is all settled, its time to focus on my birthday. Well...that I will talk about tomorrow. Because when I went out with Anna today for some late late dinner, and I told her even though I'm not going to study film making, I want to make a web series. She said yes. And we decided to center it around Dave.
Here is a link to a video I made (first ever!) of her asking Dave. Once its all good and loaded, I'm going to post it on his facebook. And we will see what kind of response we get. lol

Oh It Got Me!
Alright. I'll be the first to admit that a not so good movie can still hook me like it's nobody's business. I'm sorry. I liked Transformers and I LOVED Transformers 2. I LOVED Elizabethtown, The Jane Austen Book Club, Marie Antoinette, PS I Love You, and even Because I Said So.
These movies just speak to me that a lot of movies I see don't or never will. Unless I'm drunk. And I'm okay with that. I like to watch terrible movies, wonderful movies, and everything in between. No matter what anyone thinks.
That is why I am proud to announce that I LOVED 17 AGAIN and PUSH!!!! I loved them so much, I went and bought them...so to speak. lol
Now that you all know I'm not afraid to say I loved these movies...I'm gonna watch 17 AGAIN...again. :) And again and again and again, then I'll throw in some Push and watch that again and again and again. And then possibly watch All 4 seasons of Supernatural and all 3 seasons of Psych until I've memorized the commentaries.
You know, this past saturday, I made my mother watch the first disc of Supernatural. And when we would get to certain parts, I'd tell her what was talked about on the commentaries or what so and so meant or how everything comes full circle. (like sam throws the gun in the trunk and says we've got work to do -S1E1 and then dean does the same thing-S2Finale)
She just followed along and actually really got into the Bloody Mary Episode. It was awesome. We had a good day. Plus we got to drink the last of the super awesome apple juice I went back to the grocery store just to get! *is sad* I want more!
I guess thats all I really had to say. Is my life boring? Yes. That is why I expanded my search for a job to two neighboring counties. Am willing to relocate if the pay can handle it. I guess school is gonna have to wait another semester...or two. Soon, I'll be the grandma learning how to use Final Cut Pro or something! Damn it!

Winging it Supper-Style
Okay. So I'm a pretty good cook.
Actually, I like to think of myself as a pretty damn good cook!
But it's been a while, and well devising a new recipe around one vegetable that you've never tried before is not the best thing to do.
Take for instance, tonight.
Tonight I decided to make a vegetable fried rice dinner, since all the chicken was frozen in blocks. And, to be perfectly honest, we haven't really done much vegetable shopping in a long time. I mean we buy fruit by the ton and eat loads of tomatoes and cucumbers because we grow those ourselves. Apparently now, we just don't buy vegetables unless their onions, potatoes, or we've run out of fresh tomatoes.
Anyhoo, we only had onions, a bag of frozen corn, a bag of frozen brussel sprouts...and I think thats it. I went ahead and decided to center the meal around the sprouts. Bad idea. I had asked my mom what they tasted like, and she said cauliflower. Yum. I like that. Yuck. It just didnt taste anything like cauliflower.
So basically from the moment I tried the brussel sprout, I knew the meal was over. I don't have to tell you how I mixed in some egg, and awesome rice or even the soy sauce. It all went to crap. Guh. Yuck.
So in conclusion, do not attempt to make a meal around something that you personally have never tried. Also, if you want to salvage the meal, throw it out and have fresh baked Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies standing by. Yum!

Time Zones are so tricky
Some tv company rep called looking for my mom. ok. she's not home. it's 4:04pm.
Rep: Yeah...I had an appointment to speak to Mrs. Sosa at 4:30. She told me she was going to talk to her husband about something and then wanted me to call back at 4:30. Do you know when would be a better time to call?
Me: Um...I don't know. It's only 4.
Rep: Oh...It is? huh. I was looking at your time. I thought it was 5.
Me: ...Nope.
Rep: Ok. I'll call back in 45 minutes.
Are you serious lady? You didn't even know my mom's last name when you called and made me wait while you pulled up the file. Shouldn't you have the up before you call a potential client? And really? Who am I talking to? A valley girl? Geez!
Now, for a list of catch phrases.
1. I die.-Rachel Zoe. Google her.
2. Mrs. Armstrong, Mrs. Armstrong, Please! Don't tell my mom!-Supernatural-Invisible Kid
3. Gus, get your socks ready. Cause I'm about to knock them off!-Psych-Shawn Spencer

Confessions lead to fear of dentists and blind dates.
Alright, so maybe I've kind of become obsessed with one song. And I'm sort of embarrassed to say its Broken by Lifehouse.
Is that okay? I don't know and I don't care. I like that song...the radio version. The other one? Not a fan.
So my tooth hurts. Me thinks I should schedule a dentists appointment. Like a cleaning. And tell them I have a large cavity. And then halfway through it, they tell me they need to pull it. I think I could possibly consider that a success. What do you think?
I was going to tell you all the differences between getting your tooth pulled versus going on a blind date and going home the next morning a little drugged and missing a kidney. But sadly, as I keep thinking of more and more differences, I realize they are becoming more and more similar. Which leads me to the conclusion that somehow, a dentist pulling out a tooth is the equivalent of a backwoods hillbilly slicing me up and and selling my kidney on the black market. Or just eating it for lunch. Oh yes. It's true.
1. Lose weight. You're mouth would be sore and sensitive, so you might not eat much at all. Plus pain pills would knock you out and you can't really eat while asleep. Unless you're very talented. I'm not. But I don't know about you. Same goes for the impromptu surgery. A kidney has mass. So in effect, you could lose a pound or two or however much a kidney weighs. PLUS, you would be sick for days if you survived and thus wouldn't eat much at all.
2. Leaving with less than you went in with. If I went, say, for a cleaning. Then they decide to yank the sucker. I would leave with less then I went in with. Same goes for the kidney. Go on a blind date, leave sans one kidney. Yikes.
3. No one forced you to go. I would go to the dentist because I need the cleaning. I would go on the blind date...probably because my friends forced me to but I still walked without being physically pushed. Do you see a pattern? No? Not yet? ...alright.
4. No permission. Okay, so my tooth is rotten or there is something just plain wrong and it needs to go. I never said I wanted it to go. (but maybe I'm thinking I do, because *ouch*!) Same as the hillbilly asshole stealing my kidney. Honestly. Like he can't go find a pig to slice open or some other blind date.
Okay...so that last one wasn't very nice for anyone else in that position. But hey, I think I'd like to keep my kidney. Unless its like cancerous or just failing. Then by all means. Keep it.
So there you have it. Dentists=Batshitcrazyknifewieldinghillbillybouttoslicemeupandsnatchmykidney.
I think that about sums it up.
--This in no ways (at all) (ever) gives you the right to take my kidney and or tooth. fyi.

First Post.
Well, I am very glad to have a fresh start. I have to say, I've got a billion or so blogs out in the netherworld that is the Internets. But I'm intrigued, to say the least.
I was recently looking on Wikipedia for one of my favorite authors, Garth Nix. I was looking at the Old Kingdom Series links when I saw another book I had never heard of and whose link was not in essence "clickable." I went crazy rifling through about a million different links before I found anything remotely related.
Apparently, Clariel: The Lost Abhorsen is a prequel. Huh. And there is going to be a sequel to the last published book. As of late, it is still untitled. The books are set to be released in 2010 and 2011. I am sort of intrigued to read these. But since I haven't read the last book relatively related to the Abhorsen trilogy, I'm not in a hurry to purchase these books once they are published.
This book is called Across the Wall and along with various short stories continuing the trilogy and various unrelated completely ridiculous short stories (that I can't wait to read!!!) there is a role playing game. I have to play this game!!!
You start by renting both a Three Musketeers costume as well as the movie. You watch the movie in costume and try opening bottles of red wine with the plastic rapier. Of course once you break everything save the tv in whatever room you attempt this stunt in, you are supposed to drink the remainder of the wine and then play the game. Sounds like fun to me!!!!
Well, I think I'm going to go and find some movie to watch. Need to rewatch the ending of BSG and actually watch Psych before I can let Friday be over.
Until next time,
Ellie.
