Sucks about the cat bite, but at least you had a good experience getting it taken care of... though what the hell is with the cats in that area?

We got Ben's mom a chair today... made a little coupon to give her on Christmas but didn't all have the day off until today. It's super comfy and was about $100 less than we were expecting to pay (Speedy Furniture, you are our friend)... so yay. It's snowing again today, and it's windy so the one road was pretty bad. There was an accident jamming traffic as we came around a turn and we slid a bit in the snow... did a soft bounce off the embankment but it was a minor annoyance... how amazing the difference is when someone doesn't grab the wheel from you. But yeah... home safe and sound now. ... and there is hockey.

One day. *sigh* Is there a particular style that is more favorable to those with some back troubles?

Xeo... what is DDP Yoga? Actual random fact: I am starting to hate snow. (restricted) | (restricted) |

Granted. But then the board is hacked again and all your posts are deleted. You must now start again from scratch.

I wish it would stop snowing.

In answer to Simpsons... the episode with Sideshow Bob's brother Cecil.

Something I thought I wouldn't like... fruitcake apparently. At least the one I had in Ireland was good. To turn that on it's head, what is something that you thought that you would like, but you did not? (restricted) |

Originally posted by Xeo I officially hate you now. Okay, not really... but you suck. I apparently have a sock addiction. The female stereotype is that we are obsessed with shoes, but I tend to go for cool socks. While in Ireland, I had to actively resist buying all the cool socks I saw.

I made a post about it in the Last Movie thread, but yeah, I also enjoyed it. Cumberbatch made a perfect Smaug... absolutely perfect.
|
Honestly, the Legolas/Tauriel thing seemed kinda forced... to a deuce ex machina extent even. Though I fully believe that Legolas himself would have been at least a cameo in the original Hobbit book had Tolkien come up with him at that point so I had no issue with him being in the movie. Tauriel was created for the film to give a strong female role to a story that had none, which on the one hand I get and kinda like... but firstly, the story didn't really need it, and secondly, I don't think she is really that strong of a female character. Her entire personality seems to be tied to the relationships she has with Legolas and Kili... not very "strong woman" in my opinion. (restricted) |

Besides the obvious food and shelter?
|
My phone, an internet connection, my purse (meaning my wallet and things), and a week's worth of clothes. That friend we all have that kinda annoys us... what is the most annoying thing about yours?

So my friend's husband lent me the first Ashes of Ares album to check out since it's the singer from Iced Earth... not bad. Very similar sound, though the tracks seem a bit shorter. |

I haven't had a Yoohoo in years... real chocolate milk is so much better.

I carry my larger miniatures for Pathfinder around in a metal Companion Cube lunch box.

Work today (the roads seemed okay when I was out earlier for my chiropractor appointment), taking Ben's car to the shop tomorrow for new brakes (provided that it starts)... so yeah... no choice but to go out in it.

This is why I have wool and thermals. Fuck you wannabe redneck guy at work yesterday. Your unapologetic racism is not respected and if I could have walked away from the kiosk and refused to serve you, I would have.

What have you done in 2013 that you have never done before?
|
- A few things... fly JetBlue, see inside a Masonic temple, teach in a classroom, go to Ireland, fly internationally, sell cellphones, be made Associate of the Month, played Dragon Age, go to the UK (Northern Ireland), earn a Master's Degree, have someone grab the steering wheel of my car while driving, eat at a hibachi-style restaurant, eat a curry burger, eat fruitcake, going on a low-carb diet, lead a circle for a Samhain ritual, and visit a world heritage site. Did you keep your new years resolution from this year, and will you make one for next year? - I can't remember what it was, but it was probably "eat healthier, pass classes" in which case, yes. As for this year... I guess so. More eating healthier, being more active, and not procrastinating. Did anyone close to you give birth? - My friend Lindsey is probably the closest friend. There were several other friends that I am not close to that did as well. Did anyone close to you die? - No one really close to me, though Ben's grandfather did pass away right before our flight out there in February. Where did you travel to in 2013? - California, Ireland, Northern Ireland What would you like to have in 2014 that you lacked in 2013? - A stable teaching job. What dates from 2013 will you have etched in your memory, and why? - Dec 14th, graduation day and day I almost died. November 17th as the day we arrived in Ireland. What was your biggest achievement of the year? - Getting my Masters and teaching credential What was your biggest failure? - Not sticking to the diet as much as I could have. Did you suffer injury or illness? - Several colds, cuts, and bruises... and capping it off with whiplash and a bruised lumbar in that spin-out. What was the best thing you bought? - That is a hard choice. At the moment I am tempted to say my leggings because of how cold it is. Or my camera because of the great pictures it took while I was in Ireland. I guess I will go with the easiest choice and say the trip to Ireland because of the great experiences that it gave me. Whose behavior merited celebration? - My chiropractor for putting my well being above profit in helping me fight with my insurance company to keep them from screwing me over. Also, Ben, for letting the mask of "robot" slip a bit more this year and in general being an awesome and supportive person. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? - Besides Congress? Um... I guess I would say one of my Friday gamers because she just really does not seem to want to interact with the rest of us at all outside of the game itself. My manager at work for his utter incompetence, and to an extent Ben for withdrawing further from society (it makes me sad). Where did most of your money go? - Bills, gas, and Ireland What did you get really, really, really excited about? - The trip to California, the trip to Ireland, graduation, and going to the Penguins game What song will always remind you of 2013? - Honestly, I don't really know. Possibly the main theme to Dragon Age because I played it so damn much. Compared to this time last year, you are: a) Happier or Sadder? - Um... I about the same. If I didn't have so many bills due this month and car repairs then I would say happier. b) Thinner or Fatter? - Thinner, thankfully c) Richer or Poorer? - Poorer... damn electric bill. What do you wish you would have done more of? - Networking What do you wish you would have done less of? - Second-guessing myself How did you spend New Year's Eve? (December 31, 2012) - If I remember correctly, we had a bottle of wine instead of champagne... otherwise I think we just watched the ball drop on tv and went to bed. How did you spend New Year's Day? (January 1) - No earthly clue. I remember nothing... so probably sleeping and bumming around the house. How did you spend Valentine's Day? (February 14) - Don't remember. I went to school and got a souvenir from my friend Victoria from DC. How did you spend St. Patrick's Day? (March 17) - I had to work, then I went to the store to get stuff to make no-bake cookies and encountered a random evangelist white boy with dreads. It was different to say the least. How did you spend Easter? (March 31) - I know I had the day off and I was sick, but according to the Book of Faces all I did that day was watch Game of Thrones. How did you spend Cinco de Mayo? (May 5) - Working and dealing with racist white people. I think we had some kind of Mexican food for dinner. How did you spend the 4th of July? (July 4) - Went to the Regatta in Pittsburgh like we normally do. Ended it early because Ben's mom needed to be taken to the ER for extreme dehydration due to the humidity. Went home as soon as she was released. No fireworks, no nothing. Started looking at feasibility of teaching jobs in other states. How did you spend Patriot Day? (September 11) - I refuse to call it that, but I spent it teaching and then going to work. How did you spend Talk Like a Pirate Day? (September 19)? - Teaching and going to work... and not talking like a pirate. How did you spend Halloween? (October 31) - Running my Rise of the Runelords campaign and getting one of the players to pass out candy every time kids came to the door. How did you spend Thanksgiving? (November 28) - Driving to Lahinch in County Clare, Ireland. We stopped in Limerick and visited King John's Castle and Bunratty Castle and Folk Park. Had Thanksgiving dinner in Lahinch that was pretty good, but no pumpkin pie. How did you spend Christmas? (December 25) - Opened some gifts and went to see The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Did you fall in love in 2013? - Yes, with Dragon Age... and to that extent my fictional character fell in love with Alistair. Other than that... well... Ben and I celebrated our 5th anniversary so that should tell you something. What was your favorite TV show? - Game of Thrones, hands down. What was your least favorite show of 2013? - Vikings. Tried to watch it on the plane home from Ireland and could not even get through the first episode. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? - Nope, no change. What was the best book you read? - Didn't get to read much beyond school stuff... but Nightglass was good, as was a Dragon Age fanfiction called "Of Elves and Humans" that has done a really good job of fleshing out the characters in a believable way. What was your greatest musical discovery? - The only one I really had this year was Ashes of Ares, which has the singer from Iced Earth... other than that it's been same old same old. What did you want and get? - A trip to California, a trip to Ireland, weight loss, a raise, a new camera, and to do well in student teaching and graduate. What did you want and not get? - A bigger raise, Ben to get a job, more weight loss, a tablet, a new car. What was your favorite film of this year? - Hmn... there were a few good ones but I will have to go with Desolation of Smaug What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? - I turned 29. We were in Galway and at midnight specifically we were at the King's Head pub with a live band that basically did covers of rock songs. I got a shot of Jameson and the other student teachers had the band wish me a happy birthday... it was also some random girl from Malibu's birthday that was there so he wished it to us both and played Sweet Home Alabama... using the intro "It's Crystle from Pennsylvania's birthday and *forgot name* from California's birthday... so here's Sweet Home Alabama"... rather amusing at the time. That actual day we went to Connamara National Park to hike up Diamond Mountain. I got to pee in an storage area because the bathrooms were closed... not fun. The hike was nice, and the scenery was gorgeous. Then it was off to Kylemore Abby to tour the grounds and have lunch where I was surprised by a cake, a card, and a round of happy birthday. Then back to Galway for another night out where a smaller group of us stayed on one really awesome but crowded bar with craft beer. I got rather drunk but it was a great night. What is one thing that would have made your year more satisfying? - If Ben had managed to find a job as well so our money wouldn't have been so tight. How would you describe your personal fashion concept of 2013? - Lots of slacks, thanks work. What kept you sane? - Gaming, my coworkers, and the internet. What celebrity/Public figure did you fancy the most? - Marc Andre Fleury What political issue stirred you the most? - Gay Rights, Gun Control, the Syria thing, Obamacare, the Shutdown... I get stirred up a bit. What news story was the most overblown? - Miley Cyrus. Who do you miss? - My California friends Did you reconnect with anyone? - Not really. Tell us a life lesson you learned in 2013. - Sometimes you have to let go of the fear in order to not have regrets (the Ireland trip). Quote a song lyric that sums up your year. - Hmn... I really have trouble choosing this. I will go with some lines from "Hearted" by Van Canto since I had a lot of moments of self-doubt this year that I had to overcome. In dark hours so cruel When you feel blackhearted Remember the words You once had said If you trust in yourself You will live lighthearted Destiny's calling No fate is sealed If you trust in yourself You will live lighthearted Destiny's calling Be there to change your fate And rise a new day What plans do you have for 2014? - Finding a teaching job, maybe moving if I have to (please!), working on planning the wedding since my parents finally said how much money they were willing to pitch in for it. What are your resolutions for 2014? - Be more active, eat healthier, and procrastinate less. What will you be doing for New Year's Eve? - Already past. Ben and I went to my friend Tabby's New Years Eve party. Played some games, ate some food, and hung out. Wasn't much, but it was nice to get out of the house on New Years again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
