Come On, Where's the Oral?

I made a small revelation today. When I plug this new laptop in, the screen gets much brighter. I never really noticed it till now, so it was a bit of a surprise...but anyways.

I'm going on a book rampage a bit. I really want to go to Lewis and pick up Up in Flames, Katie MacAlister's awesome series with Gabriel....never thought dreadlocks would be hot, but he pulls it off! So I should pick up the second book, just haven't even gotten to finish the first one...then I also am thinking of trying Charlaine Harris's whole True Blood series. Now that show is HOT.

Now I know the books are completely different from the TV series. That's fine with me, 'cause after the season premier recently, well.....they cut out the middle of the sex. Let me start from the beginning: there was makeup sex at the end of the series after their small fight. Ahhh awesome sex indeed. They strip down (oh my), she backs up to the top of the bed, the fangs pop out, annnnd he starts kneeling down towards her. I'm going "Hell yeah, oral sex!" but then that dream was tossed aside as he just grabbed her ankle and pulled her close. Damn, they really should've done oral first...so they're at the end of the bed going at it, and I had a total question of "Isn't he thrusting just a tad slow?" Seriously, it was hot but....it was a bit painstakingly slow for the edge of the bed...

And then all of a sudden she's on her side, on the bed. Wait a minute, what happened between the edge of the bed and there? I know there was some completion in there, but honestly....the curses of television and keeping it to an hour. :/

But overall, that sex was HOT HOT HOT! I'd just like to read the books to, you know, get the whole effect. As in actually see how they got from the end of the bed to in it and behind her and....oh ya....still fucking awesome.

Oh, and when you read a book, you don't actually hear the southern accents. Which kinda bothered me there a little bit...however the drug use didn't bother me much. It's just something that I really doubt is in her books. After the popularity of Weeds, and this being HBO, I can imagine HBO trying to push the boundaries with True Blood. This is their show after all, they can put whatever they want in the show. Including hot vampire sex. Oh, and an old cougar lady having sex with a freaked 17-year-old shapeshifter. Yeep, I felt pity for little Sam. He's naked, and hungry, and he's caught by this freaky old chick. Who has freaky sex. And he's under her with this panicked look on his face rather than, you know, enjoying it. Sam is pretty hot too....compared to Bill of course. :P

Now that my True Blood analysis is finished, back to playing with my new laptop!

Lambert and Laptops: Sexiness Galore!

Ohhh is this laptop sexy....and why yes, this is my first post using my new laptop! I can see where it's a bit of a fingerprint magnet, as everything is glossy. Seriously, even the keyboard is glossy! But I don't mind that; I had used my previous laptop so often that I made the f and j letters on the keyboard smooth. Those, and the spacebar. But it's so amazing, and it came with a cleaning cloth, so I've been wiping it down every time I've finished using it. Bottom line: I LOVE THIS FREAKING THING!!!

Even better, it flies on the Internet. I can actually log onto my USD account now, yes!

And as for other awesome news: I got my grubby little hands on the new issue of Rolling Stone! YES, I can now stare at the sexiness that is Adam Lambert whenever I damn well please! :D

I haven't read the article all the way through, just reached halfway...and I must say, he is VERY intriguing. And in a very good way. *purr*

God, that chest....

Oh, and it's also my parents' 25th anniversary. I have to say, I'm especially glad, proud, and blessed that my parents are still married. It's rare to see marriages last this long anymore, and as I've seen many of my own relatives divorce, I feel pretty lucky. I just hope they last another 25 years... :)

*Cough*

Happy Birthday wishes must go to the King of Sexiness, the epitome of my characters, the source of my inspiration. Oh yes, Rafael.

Dis is also part of the motivation for learning Portuguese: nah, I don't plan on meeting THE, Rafael, but the language is as beautiful as he is.....*purr*

I had a nostalgic moment today when we bought this cute ceramic fox at ShopKo. It reminded me of the little deer that currently sits on our front step...I want to call it ceramic, but it seems like it's made more out of concrete, even though there's really not much of a difference there...but anyway, I was very good friends with my neighbor Nicole (bless her heart for still sticking around, even after she moved), and she had a larger, plastic baby deer. So I would take my little deer and hers and we'd carry them around with us and such, play with them, etc. Then one day I dropped my deer a little, and I had what was probably a big "OH NOES!" moment. Yes I just said that, and yeah I'm pretty sure I overreacted when it happened. And it's not even that big of a deal to me anymore--we never glued what little pieces broke off, and it seems to give the deer personality. But I still remember us playing with our deer and having a blast doing it.

Now speaking of ShopKo, I applied for a job at the one on 41st Street. :) Yuup, I finally am going to get a job. And if all goes well, I might even get to work with Megan, hopefully. It would sure help a lot with my nerves at least...

I can't tell if I have a cold, allergies, or the swine flu. At first I thought it was a bad cold or something to do with the weather, as like I said before, I was getting hot and chills and sore throat, blah blah blah. Next day, the sun was out, the birds were chirping, and I was feeling pretty good. Still sore throat though. Next day, news declares swine flu a pandemic. Ohhhhh I'm scared. Although I wondered if I could've caught it--not to make myself panic, nooooo, instead I was thinking "Whoa, that'd be pretty sweet if I did have swine flu! How many could say they got it..."

Well, that day it had also rained. Now today: sun was back out, but with the rain before, I can't tell if it's a cold, or if the weather really spurred on my allergies. I've been sneezing up a storm, needing tissues like crazy too. Curses, I'm out of tissues in my room too, should've gotten that when we were out shopping too. Meh.

Also, I'm becoming desperate for a new laptop. This current one has specs that are downright pitiful, and recently decided it is running out of hard drive space. The one I want, is $699 and on the outlet list on Best Buy's website. I am so desperate I want to cry, it's that saddening. Just so I have it noted: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9164343&type=product&id=1218040476937

I want you so bad, it's like I'm insane. Gahhh.

Finding Cash Around The House? Priceless.

149 pennies. $1.49
112 nickels. $5.60
174 dimes. $17.40
90 quarters. $22.50

Total? $46.99. Alllllll in loose change. Seriously.

And the last time we went in to cash in loose change? The total came out to be $120. Holy SHIT.

Plus, to top it off, I found $60 in 20 dollar bills in my change box. I think that was from the last time....but again, seriously?

PLUS, I think I have about 10 or 20 bucks in one of my pants pockets....I've gotta go find that...I swear, I've never felt so rich! Well, except for when we had $120 in change. :D I honestly want to go take it all, add it to my graduation money, and buy a new laptop with it. I really do! Toshiba has some kickass laptops, or at least from what I've seen...

However, I'm heading off to bed now. I think I'm coming down with something, just don't know what....woke up with a sore throat, then later this afternoon I started getting a little dizzy when moving around too much...then ringing in the ears....then hot all over, but chills inside....ick. And my nose is feeling funky, like I need to sneeze or blow my nose really bad, but it's dry and, well, not congested. And I've dealt with congestion plenty.

We'll just blame it on the cloudy weather. I like rain, but not cloudy weather. Either rain, or be sunny! Grrr...

And ohmygosh. I want to see True Blood now. They just had the previews for it on TV, and holy CRAP it looks hot! The guys are questionable, they all look tired....my Zeke's not tired looking, he just looks like he's....sexed up? Seen too much? Dunno. I shall think it over.

I betcha Hulu has it. I shall check!

Hotness Update: Men of the Big/Small Screen

You know that sort of hot where you physically can't speak when you see them? Or rather after staring at many photos of them at the same time, and you just can't help but think "Oh fuck fuck fuck...."

It's kind of rare for me to have that reaction to an actor. For me, guys on the TV or movie screen don't really do it for me. Sure, they might have a nice chest or something, but come on...however, as of late, I've been stumbling across a few more than usual!

To start: Bradley Cooper. Shittttttt, he is amazing! He is not only ridiculously HOT, but he's been ridiculously funny every time he did an interview on TV. Conan, Fallon, it doesn't matter, he's just awesome every time!

The Hangover looks like a stupid movie, and it probably is. But Bradley Cooper makes it worth a shot. :D

And really, shirtless? A sure sign of hotness. I dont' care about chest hair, facial stubble, whatever--but it's like you get that urge to just reach out and stroke that chest.....oh my.....

Now, for a new amazing male to appear out of nowhere: Craig Olejnik. Whoa. I'm really digging the eyes, and the short mussed black hair. And that jaw, always a sucker for a sharp jaw...but those eyes, that's what sucks you in...Cooper's does the same in a way, but daaaaamn....and Craig's from Toronto, sweet! His show, The Listener, was originally from CTV, which is also where Corner Gas came from. Gah, I loved Corner Gas!!! So this show also has to be amazing...gonna have to search it out online. :)

Rain, Rain, Stick Around...

Huh....so much has gone on the past few days, it's hard for me to remember what all has happened. But that's probably my attention deficit showing...or my lack of writing everything down.

So I got my housing arrangements for USD back already, and I get to room with Keather. I don't know whether to be happy or sad. I know I'm happy because I requested her as my roommate, and I actually know her, so I know I won't risk ending up with a psychotic roommate. Am I leaning on her as a crutch? Probably, but I can betcha she is too, and with that I don't feel like it's a bad way to go. However, my one concern is how many men she's going to cuddle up to. As in 'Will I even have a shot with her attached to me during college?'....Seriously, if she falls into another guy's arm like she did with Spencer, I am going to stare directly at the guy and roll my eyes. I WILL fight, don't get between me and my men...to put it frank, get your own taste in men, dammit!!

Oh, I've also gotta go to this Fast Track thing for registration/orientation. I'm really...not looking forward to it, really...I apparently have to take this math placement test to see where I fit for math smartness. Meh, I have a feeling I won't do on it anyway, as it's SUMMER. Testing is out of the question in the summertime. Plus, I think I'll be on my own for most of orientation. It's like just dropping me off on my own in the middle of nowhere. But oh well, I had somehow suvived a similar situation with the journalism camp, I can do it again. At least this time it's only a day long.

It's raining out today. Which has made it really cold out. I hate cold, I'm so small and I have such little fat that it doesn't insulate me enough to stay warm. But I like rain, it's pretty--at least when it's actually falling. Also, I like the sound of thunder...it was really nice, and it's even nicer with the front door open. :P

I sarted working on this quilt I had cut out (mostly) a while back. It's called Pixie Stix, and the colors for it? Awesome! Pink and blue, with the pinks having hearts on them. So cute, not gonna lie...but so totally not me either. And yet, it calls to me...but anyways, it's coming along nicely. Just gotta finish the corners on 4 blocks, and put together the last 4. :)

I'm also realizing that I can't really be left alone in my head for very long. I need some sort of distraction, something to ground me. Usually what works best is my friends and family, spending time with them. When they're around, they won't let me retreat to my head...they remind me that I'm not worthless, that I am NOT the reason everything has fallen apart. Other methods of distraction include shopping, writing, and Sims 2. Reading also helps, but I've been so distracted with other things that I haven't really done much reading. But the sewing, the Sims 2, all of it distracts me from thinking. Because when I start thinking, it goes back to Jackass and my cousin....then again, typically it also falls prey to anger. Scinareos run through my head where I prove them all that I was right, that they're assholes and ignorant--which is pretty true, but brings my attitude down. And I'm sick of the anger, the crying, all of it. I'm going to have a party in my head when he leaves instead, I just know it.

Then I also had an interesting conversation with one of Jackass's friends, Aaron. The dude is really cool, I'm glad we had a chance to talk. Granted he seems friendlier towards Jackass than I am, but I thouroughly enjoyed his response to Jackass when he ended it with 'Bitch'. He also begain it with saying "Humane and Wuss should not be used in the same sentence if you really want to keep any friends", or something to that effect. But I liked the Bitch at the end! :)

And speaking of writing as a distraction, I went back to writing! Primarily about Zeke. God, I love Zeke...my sexy Daimon vampire prince, you....the Daimon part is only from when I first 'got' him....but hey, he's very versatile! Buuut anyways, I've gotten his story to move along a little bit, but I need some sort of conflict to arise...I'll see how that comes about.

I'm itching to go back to Sims 2. I've started poking around to look at new laptops, seeing which ones might run Sims 3. But with all that I've heard about Sims 3, I'm not sure if I want to jump right out and get it. Maybe till more patches come out, it sounds like it needs a few...and Sims 2 is just as entertaining, I still love it! Plus, I'm really going to need a new laptop when I head off to USD anyway, so might as well come prepared.

I Might Be Shrinking...?

I'm wondering if I should be nervous that my size 3 shorts don't fit quite like they used to....not in the tight sense either.

Whoops, I lied. This pair of shorts is a size 5 apparently, not 3...don't know why I thought it was 3. BUT, nonetheless, I'm slightly concerned when I want to put a belt on a pair of shorts. :P

I'm very jealous of Chantel, too. She's gotten a copy of Sims 3 already. Already!! It just came out this past Tuesday....but then again, I can betcha that my computer would spit on Sims 3 and make it unbearable. It hates Sims 2 as it is, always complaining about the virtual card memory and such. It also becomes verrrrry slow. VERY. *sigh* But alas, I shall just have to hang out with her and let her show me the awesomeness that is Sims 3. :)
