Ok, I’m still moody so I’m not going to write much today. I suspect it’s just a part of my feminine cycle because I’ve been craving sugar like a frenzied mosquito after blood. That is never a good sign. (Never mind the terrible way sugar affects my moods!)

On a last note, my novel is coming well. I’m really happy about that.

Go on–shoo! 

Because I have too much on my hands. (And I’m as bored and moody as the dickens!)

THE LAST CD YOU BOUGHT? Unwritten, by Natasha Bedingfield.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE TO BE MASSAGED? Yeah. The feet.

WHAT’S MOST IMPORTANT, STRONG IN MIND OR STRONG IN BODY? Hello? You’re asking a writer. Mind, of course! (Although I do get a bit paranoid about my hands.)

WHAT TIME DO YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING? Whenever I need to.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE KITCHEN ITEM? Food!!

WHAT MAKES YOU REALLY ANGRY? I don’t want to talk about it. You don’t want to get me going.

WHICH DO YOU PREFER, SPORTS CAR OR SUV? SUV. Oo…hot pink hummer…

DO YOU BELIEVE IN AFTERLIFE? Yes.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER, WHAT WOULD IT
BE? Telekinesis. (Not to be confused with telepathy. I totally do not want to be inside people’s heads. *shudder*)

Thanks for the questionnaire, blue! I shall now depart. (I’m moody, remember?) 

I don’t feel well, so bear with me. I mean, mentally, I’m upbeat, cheerful, and excited. Must be the coffee. *wink* Physically…well, I’m here in the living room because the computer cord isn’t long enough to reach into the bathroom. Heh. Odd, huh?

I went to my beloved "sisters’ " house on Wednesday. Because I finally got a DVD player, they gave me their other Pirates of the Caribbean movie. (Two members of the family each bought one, so they had an extra. They wanted to give it to me–because I was crazy about the movie–but I wouldn’t accept because without a DVD player I could never watch it.) 

We went out with Trin and little Zeke to see Night at a Museum. It was good. Not up for my list of favorites, but I liked it. It was a little more suspenseful than I expected. I kept glancing over at little Zeke thinking "I hope he’s doing ok with this." Of course, not having any younger siblings of my own, I’m usually too worried about these little ones who are like family to me.

My evil twin insisted that I listen to a CD they had–something like "Crazy Frog". It was pretty fun. The little ones started dancing. C4 and I danced with them. (We were perhaps even more enthusiastic than the young’uns.) Hey Baby was one of the songs. I go crazy whenever I hear that song. Perhaps my Israeli Dance instructor’s outrageous singing cemented it in my mind–but it’s one of my favorite dances. Of course, with the little ones all around there was limited mobility. I still had a great time.

By, oh…around 10pm, we settled down (the munchkins in bed) for a nice movie. I really wanted to see V for Vendetta. C4, however, had to work in the morning, so we decided to leave. Trin let me borrow V but threatened that I’d better bring it back or she’d track me down. Apparently, it’s one of her favorite movies. Yeah, having now watched it, I can see why. I’ve always liked vengeance themes and sword/dagger wielding characters. That’s what my character Evelyn is all about. But that’s in volume 2 of my novel series. I’m still working to finish volume one. 

–Which, by the way, I am actually currently working on again! Really! Writer’s block is…er, slowed. I’m at a slow part right now, so, naturally, it’s coming slow. But it’s coming!

Ok, enough babble. 

Patrick’s Weekender: 

Name seven pet peeves other drivers commit:

1. Tailgating.

2. Turning off their brights at the last second–or not turning them off at all.

3. A combination of #1 and 2.

4. Pulling out of a parking space without looking to see if someone is driving by.

5. Pulling out into traffic without giving other drivers enough space.

6. Pulling out into traffic like a bat out of torment and slowing down.

7. Driving slow until coming to a yellow light where they then speed up–leaving you to miss the light. Thanks, dude.

I got the ring I’ve been longing for! If I hadn’t spent my "fun money" on DVDs and games, I’d show you a picture of the ring…but I didn’t have the money for a digital camera. Sorry. Anyway, the ring is a pink, heart-shaped crystal with three tiny (clear) crystals on each side, set in silver. I also found an identical one with a red heart, set in gold. I fell in love with that one too but never saw it again to whet my desire. Hehe! Now, I have both.

I am happy. Life is good. Sparkles are joy. (I’ve always been a bit of a magpie–picking up and collecting shiny objects from the street. LOL!)

On a final note: Bring on the snow!! (I’ll get more hours at work. Hahaha!)

So, I did all that work yesterday on my little secret. Now comes the hardest part of all. Waiting. Oh joy. Have I ever mentioned I’m not a patient person? Hey, I may like luxury, but deep down inside my Scorpio nature craves action. (That’s sounds odd coming from me.) I was an extremely active child. I wonder…if I was still like that… Eh, nevermind; not pretty.

Anyway, if my secret goes the way I want it to, I’ll have to be very active–and in shape. Yeah. I’ve been slacking off on my exercising–I’ve only been working on my abs and legs (I loathe push-ups!!). Oh well, better get to it.

On another note, I’ve been spending way too much time in front of the TV–mostly watching DVDs rented from the library. I love our new DVD player, and with it hooked up to the speakers, we don’t have to worry about the bloody volume adjustment on the TV! Evil TV. Humph! It’s so old, it has hearing problems. It was nearly impossible to adjust the sound on it: too quiet…up a little more…eh, that’ll do. And inevitably… BLAST!!! The blanking volume had a mind of its own and would crank itself up!! Grr! 

Ha! But I fixed you, you evil TV. I fixed you. 

I have nothing to report about my novel. I finished the battle scene and am stuck once again. Oh, the joys.

Now, let’s play:

Manic Monday:

Feel free to expand on your answer beyond yes or no!

Have you ever refused to tip a waiter or waitress?
No. I’ve had some customers I’d have like to clobber though. LOL!
Have you ever been on a hayride?
Does sitting on a bale of hay and riding it like a horsey count? (Gee, that stuff itches!)
Have you ever driven a vehicle faster than 100 mph? No, but I’ve been in a car going that fast. Blast the speed-demons in my family! I must have lost a total ten years from my life span!

That’s all for now. Maybe I’ll come back later today. Maybe. 

Just a quick post to let you know I am among the living! In fact, I’m in too much of a hurry to write about what’s been going on in my life. The one main thing that’s been recently going on (which I have been working on all day today), I can’t talk about!! Not yet, anyway. I know…frustrating.

And now, for something I can talk about–Unconscious Mutterings:

1. Episode :: __ I (one)–makes me think of Star Wars. Hmm.
2. Source :: __ code
3. Jerk :: jock
4. Introduce :: present
5. Ralph :: a good name for a dog 
6. Stare :: __ contest (I never win those!)
7. Cast :: the actors/actresses in a movie
8. Scenario :: ok, so, say Johnny left the movie early because his mother had a heart-attack; and Betsy didn’t understand why he left in such a hurry… (Oh. I wasn’t supposed to write one, was I?)
9. Flu :: Feed a cold, starve the __
10. Mad :: __ Scientist (an old nickname of mine!)

That’s all, folks! 

I went shopping yesterday with the gift card my brother gave me. I wanted to get a ring with pink heart (I’ve had my eye on it for some time), but there wasn’t one in my size. I’ll wait–but I will get it one day.

Instead, I ended up getting the first CD of my very own (my other CDs have been givens to me). I decided on Natasha Bedingfield’s "Unwritten". There was no competition really. I love the music on that CD and knew I must have it one day. I’m so excited. Our computer won’t play the music from this one music site anymore, so I haven’t been able to listen to her songs.

I also bought my first DVD: The Princess Bride. I LOVE that movie. When I was browsing the DVDs at the store, I told myself that if I saw it, I had to have it. After all, I was going to get it one day. (See a pattern here? ).

So, we watched The Princess Bride today. Imah complained at first, listing off the many faults the movie was sure to have. When it actually started, she was excited to see Peter Falk and started telling me about the Pink Panther series. I was relieved to hear her laugh as the movie progressed. Just as a clincher, I asked her at the end if she liked it. Not only did she say yes, she went on about it! Mark another score for the Princess Yaffa!! *Ding! Ding!*

With that I say…Farewell!

I’m just writing a quick post because I’m bored, hyper…and the power might go out again. Seriously, I love wind, but it’s scary out there.

Oh…Happy [Gregorian] New Year to you all! (I celebrated my new year a few months ago.) I was tired New Year’s Eve, so I went to bed around 10–growling at the early fireworks. I have no idea how the firework shows went. Oh well. Fireworks (almost as much as snow) have ceased to interest me.

That’s all for now. Check out my myspace blog for what my friends say about me! 

Farewell!
