The Very Pink of Perversion

All the crap in my life aside...

2009-04-01T11:34:00Z

I have been with Kat for 6 years as of today. I think that's pretty doggone awesome. <3

Might as well put a bullet in my brain.

2008-11-02T23:11:16Z

Still working my old crappy job, and making poor decisions about life. I joined NaNoWriMo and will probably end up stabbing myself in the brain for it. My work drains most of my energy, and I barely have enough time for my girlfriend, much less any of my other friends. I don't do well with stress, but I have to go and add to it, don't I? Pfft. I hate that I don't have time to talk to the friends who matter to me. And I don't even have the excuse that I'm at least making money.

My mom's final chemo treatment was last Thursday. Thanksgiving week, she'll have her surgery, and then they'll look into whether or not she'll have to have radiation as well.

My father lost his job on Wednesday at the company he's been working at for as long as I can remember. Due to personal grudges of bosses over him. I am not happy about that. It may give me the opportunity to go into business with him in minority advertising for the area. It sounds promising, which means it probably won't work out for me. Hehh.

Bah. Fuck it. I just want to move to Spain and raise goats for the rest of my life.

Becca is not in a good mood.

Hmmm... to hell with all that depressing stuff. I'm gonna bump it off the top of my journal for now. Maybe delete it later. Not that I'm not grateful for everyone's comments (because I am), but that I need to stop dwelling. I took this from street_howitzerand I've been involved in at least as many fandoms as she, so go nuts with it, if you're curious.

Comment with one fandom and I'll tell you my:

One True Pairing Ship:
Canon Ship:
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship:
"You are one sick bastard" Ship:
"I dabble a little" Ship:
"It's like a car crash" Ship:
"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship:
"Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship:
"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship:

Sometimes, I don't post for long periods of time just because I think that I have nothing to complain about.

How sad is that?

Lookin' up a bit.

2008-06-10T17:35:10Z

Updates.
In case this is TL;DR for ya, you can cut it down to that I'm doing pretty damn good.

Okay, so things are a bit better. Got good news on my mom. She's going in for surgery in two weeks. They think its no further than stage 2 cancer, which means that she probably won't even need radiation, but perhaps chemo. We'll see. I'm less scared about that now. She's a badass woman. She'll make it.

Last Wednesday was the last day of classes. I had work on Thursday, cleaning up and moving stuff. Wasn't too bad. I cried when the kids got on the bus. I'll, most likely, never see them again. I will miss them. I do wish they'd pay me more; I'd keep the job. In any case, they gave me a sparkling review, and couldn't say enough nice things about me. Sometimes, I wonder if that would have been different if they knew I was a lesbian, but I digress.

I have a bunch of teaching-type jobs all summer. Mostly, tutoring, teaching art and Spanish classes, as well as some courses in Photoshop. My brother asked me to design a new logo for the company he works for, and a few professionals have offered me help on revamping my art portfolio.

I mean to do a lot of drawing this summer, but... my computer died on me. Huge fuckoff virus, apparently, that tanked my operating system from the ground up. (Goddammit, I need to be more careful with the porn I download.) Kat's still works perfectly, which is nice, but it can't handle the scanner or the tablet or even Adobe, really. I'm trying to figure out how to save my old hard drives, and I got a new baby, so it should be all right.

Kat and I still talking about a move, but that's up in the air now. With my mom's cancer scare and my instability in work, its hard to plot out where and how we'd move. We're getting a new roommate at the end of the summer. That promises to go well.

On that note, I had an interview today for a Montessori school as an assistant teacher. It went over very well. It seemed like they wanted to hire me, because they kept asking when I could start and discussing which teacher to place me with. The pay's better, the kids are cute, and the place looks awesome.

So, in summation, as Ms. Moore says, if God is a DJ, life is a dance floor. You get what you're given. Its all how you use it.

Yesterday evening, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer.... It still hasn't sunk in for me yet.

It's My Happy Birthday~!

HOORAY! I'M OLD!!!

Meanwhile, check out these links. I loves them.

www.mycrazyroommate.com <--- I lol'd copiously.

Worst fucking birthday ever. My family's the only people who remember (my brother called with a hangover), my mom spent half an hour bitching me out, and not a single friend in the area even texted me to say happy birthday. My day was beyond mundane and horribly boring. I got money (not that I'm complaining, but not a single solitary dollar will go towards a fun thing for me, unless you consider 'paying bills and rent' fun) but not a single present. And to top it all off, I was in a sour mood all day, I didn't get laid, and now I can't sleep and I can't stop crying.

Fucking A, forgive me for being emo, but I hate being 24.

I Has a Kitten.

2007-12-17T14:29:07Z

Also, the worst sense of self-preservation EVER. X_x

His name is Glitch (shut up shut up shut up shut up) and is perhaps the smallest, cutest, marmalade-iest, most pathetic thing on the face of the planet. He was rescued from behind my workplace, from a batch of 5/6 week old kittens, two of which had bad eye and upper respiratory infections. Those two are doing a lot better, though suffice it to say, their other two siblings aren't letting us close anytime soon.

I have to keep him for about two weeks total, as he's currently on a regiment of twice-a-day medication to clear up his infections and problems, but I'm not seeing it as an issue. Now that he's not terrified of me, at least, and is more than happy to curl up on my lap and purr his insane little heart out.

And, surprisingly, I do not want to keep him. I'm serious. I think my brain found the trump card over my heart: severe rationality. I couldn't afford to keep him, for one, and I know this. It wouldn't be fair to him, seeing as I have three other cats (whom I adore and am NOT giving up anytime soon just because some tiny new face comes along) and it wouldn't be fair to them either.

... so... if you're in the Dallas area.... want a new kitten? ^^;

</a>
Glitch likes hiding in the little nook beneath the monitor on my desk.

His eyes aren't really that dark. Its my crap camera. He's got olive green eyes with flecks of yellow in them.

OMG, TINEE KITTEH

I'm Putting a Moratorium Down.

2007-12-11T16:20:45Z

I had an argument with one of my students a short while back. A nine year old who said something really nasty to another student and prefaced it with, "No offense, but..."

When the other girl started to get upset, she argued that she had said "no offense" and so everything was okay. So, I got to my knees, put my hands on her shoulders and asked her if she knew what she said would hurt her. When she replied in the affirmative, I told her that grown-ups had to learn how to keep things like that to themselves, and the next time she was going to say something that was neither constructive or kind, to say nothing at all.

And so, I say to you adults, no longer will you be allowed to use the phrase "No Offense".

Seriously. Stop it. It does not excuse you from saying offensive things. It means you can recognize that what you are going to say is going to be offensive, and you have not learned the art of being a grown-up and keeping your mouth shut when you know something is going to hurt the person you are talking to. Why say it then? Why not be constructive?

_{Just so everyone knows, I'm not taking this out on any one in particular. I just hate that phrase being thrown around, and it feels like lately, my friends have been that last straw. Its immature and an irresponsible use of the language.}

This isn't sugar on ginger candy...

2007-12-10T17:29:19Z

... it's crack. At least, with the rate I go through a box of the stuff, it should be. Kee-ryst.

Okay, so I promised a review of Tin Man, and here it is:

THEY ARE GAY FOR EACH OTHER AND YOU CANNOT STOP ME FROM THINKING SUCH AND IF YOU LIKE CAIN/DG, I AM JUST A TINY BIT SCARED OF YOU AND YOUR FANDOM, SORRY ITS TRUE, AND I AM NOT GONNA LIE HERE.

Seriously, guys, I am fangirling all over the place on this series. To the point where I'm currently making a music video to Regina Spektor's "Fidelty" about the Glitch and Cain pairing. I'm a 'tard. And I don't care.

Because I will hump the leg of Tin Man fandom fucking shamelessly. But only once its completely done with... For now ? A meme.

THE RULES:
[1] Pick 12 of your favorite movies.
[2] Then pick one of your favorite quotes from each movie.
[3] Post the quotes in your journal.
[4] Have those on your friends list guess what the movie is.
[5] Extra points for knowing the actor and character's name.
[6] Strike out the quote once it has been correctly identified.

"I had two heart attacks, an abortion, did crack... while I was pregnant. Other than that, I'm fine."

"There's ALWAYS time for lubricant!"

~~"Wow, I feel sore. I mean physically, not like a guy who's angry in a movie in the 1950's."~~
Harry Lockhart from Kiss Kiss Bang Bang by street_howitzer

"I dunno. That's that whole nature versus nurture question, isn't it? Was I born a cute, vindictive, little bitch or... did society make me that way? I go back and forth on that... "

~~"I know they were just kids, but we kicked their pube-less asses!"~~
Jay from Dogma by street_howitzer

"Help! Help me!"
"But you're supposed to die!"
"I want to live!"
"...All right."

"WHY ARE YOU DIGGING?"

TIN MAN OMG

2007-12-03T06:09:21Z

SRSLY, Y'ALL. SRSLY.

-- EDIT --

Oh, yeah. I got the teacher's aide job. I think I might be in over my head, but we'll see... It's for a Head Start program (meaning they are 3 or 4 years old), and the class I'll be assisting with is Special Education and bilingual.

I'll get summers off, but I'll probably be using those to go back to college for a degree in education.

Mmrglphgh.

2007-11-24T03:05:16Z

[mood| nervous]

So hay, my appointment for the job interview got canceled. No fear, its been rescheduled to this upcoming Tuesday. I think I have a chance. And, if not, I now have a contact at the same ISD, so things are looking up either way. <3

ANYWHO, my main point for this journal was going to be begging for a roommate. Kat and I nixed the whole moving thing. We just weren't ready for it. And it wasn't as though we couldn't pay the bills. (We still have internet, after all, as should be painfully obvious.) We just can't save. I was gonna ask Catry and Company to make a move on in, if they liked, but I can't seem to find any way to contact her like RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW OH GOD I'M SO IMPATIENT RIGHT NOW. ... and so, in all my nervous energy, I have worked myself into a tizzy. So to speak...

I need to go calm down.

Otherwise, just, yanno, coming down from my trip up to see my old friends and their new baby up in Little Rock. Nothing much too interesting elsewhere in my life.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT BITCH

2007-11-09T19:54:40Z

I GOT CALLED IN FOR AN INTERVIEW AS A TEACHER'S AID. HOOFUCKINGRAY FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I fucking hate you, Silent Hill....

2007-11-07T19:11:25Z

Every GODDAMN time they test the tornado sirens around here, I jump out of my skin. I hate you, Silent Hill. I hate you like church and learning. >.<

mood: scared

Too tired to put anything clever. :C

2007-11-06T04:00:36Z

For brightlion. Because I promised I would.

... seriously, what the fuck is up with his hand? >.<

mood: drained

A few facts.

2007-11-04T19:04:58Z

Do not 'evangelize' to me at work. Just... don't. Its rude enough for you to come to my home and assume that my own choice in religion is not well enough for me, and try to convert me to yours on my own time. But when you're doing it on my boss's dollar? Huh-uh. Not cool.

I worry about my job situation. But its looking up. Kat and I are moving at the end of November into a place that's a fraction of the rent we're paying now (not to mention half the size...). Meaning that half my paycheck will cover it. And, if I get a job as a teacher or teacher's aid, we'll have to worry even less. I promised her that if I got that job, and she actually sent off her query letters for an agent, she could quit and be a hausfrau/full time writer. Of course, the place is ridiculously tiny. But we've lived in smaller. And worse.

Tina's gone. I think I'm in shock. I'm worried about her trip back to Denmark, of course... But I'm not as depressed as I thought I'd be. I suppose I'm spending more of my time worrying about how Kat is dealing with it. I'll cry later. I'll miss her. She was so beyond awesome. At least, now, I have a BIGGER renewed interest in getting to Spain. She'll only be a short trip away at that point.

Otherwise? Bleh. ._.;

mood: uncomfortable

Tina is here....

2007-11-01T04:18:25Z

Not much time to talk, what with the MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF FANWANKERY. _{...and ridiculous amounts of cuddling. <3}

Still, thought I should submit SOMETHING. So, a photo of us, and a giftarts for Tinakins.

Serious fun was had by all. Yes, that's The Black Pearl carved into one pumpkin, and a D: face carved into the other. NERDERY.

... and now, for the picture.

lol, catty gay gods. Drew this for Tina while at work.

Otherwise, my life seems to be looking up. New, tiny apartment to move into on the 17th of November, and a new job perhaps sometime soon. It seems the local school districts are so desperate for bilingual people looking to be teachers, they may just be willing to hire me and pay for my schooling. HMMMM. Spain may be closer on the horizon than I once thought.

mood: silly

Man, if I wasn't already gonna be a pirate....

2007-10-22T02:59:15Z

... seriously. And a plain brown one with a bowler hat for Kat. Just saying.

Anywho, the countdown is here for Friday. I mean, technically, it started a month ago, but still. Friday. I declare October the twenty sixth, in the year of Our Lord two thousand and seven TINA DAY.

Otherwise, I can't stop quoting this. Stop me. For the love of God, stop me.

mood: jubilant

Art Journal-ness. Again.

2007-10-15T18:04:33Z

Apparently, that is the purpose of me rejoining LJ. Perhaps I should just get an art blog or something. ^^;

In any case, I'm on a Sherlock Holmes kick again. This is, like, the third time in the past year or so. Jeremy Brett is the definitive Sherlock Holmes, I swear. You can keep Mr. Rathbone. He's all yours. Give me Jeremy and David any day. <3 Anyway, I did a caricature. You can say its either Holmes or Brett. All your choice.

Why do all the yummiest bastards die so young? ;~;

Also, me being a TERRIBLE NERD, I made some macros for Jeremy/Sherlock. Dig it.

Don't fight it.

More awesome than you, anyway.

... someday, I'll post all the nerd macros I made. Tons of PotC ones, and quite a few other generic dork thingies. Otherwise, rest assured that I am dorking out in a rather well-off fashion. And waiting excitedly for neffinesse to show up so we can do some surround-sound nerdery.

mood: dorky

And another update with arts.

2007-10-13T03:35:03Z

To make myself feel better. About all the cheating. ^^;

So, yeah, based off the Egyptian myth where Horus throws a tantrum, cuts off his mum's head for helping out his evil!Uncle Set, runs off in a huff, gets blinded by Set and then healed by Hathor.

Done for neffinesse. <3

Also, done with no references whatsoever, as you can see in the sub par anatomy and more cartoonish feel. Suck. ;~;

And something else, where I'm gonna post some space so you don't have to look if you don't wanna. Just, yanno, hit the "end" button on your keyboard. Or the back button. Whichever.

Just warning you, I'm still a slash fangirl. I do ridiculous pairings from time to time, but... "Flame on!"...? Seriously, guys. Seriously. The Human Torch? Was asking for it.

Also, its not graphic. Just... superqueer. ._. C'MON, JOHNNY, STOP MAKING IT EASY ON ME. D:<

Don't shoot me, plz. ._.

i'm in ur lj-cut. wastin' ur space.

still doin' it.

... ha ha! And a little more pace wasteage, so you don't have to look if you don't like that gay. I'm considerate. Yes.

Okay. Now I'm done. Honestly. No more for tonight. I'll leave you all alone. This isn't deviantART. Its LiveJournal. I should do some more whining and ranting about my parents/lack of life/crappy job, huh?

mood: blah
