So, as I twittered while I was lounging lazily in bed, I went to a bar for the first time last night. It isn’t something that’s been high on my list. I prefer a nice, quiet glass of wine at home. It was fun, though. I went out with my Prince and two of his friends to see the Fast and Furious movie. After that, we went to a bar/casino/bowling lanes and laughed at the people singing karaoke. We all goaded each other to go up and sing, but none of us did. It was painful to hear that wasted woman brutalize So What. I love that song, and she killed it! Ugh. Maybe I wouldn’t have minded if I was drunk.

I don’t usually blog on Saturdays. Most Saturdays, I try to stay off the computer. Today, however, is a little different. I’m expecting a call from My Prince to confirm that he and his friends can come by to pick me up and have a movie day and whatnot. So, I decided to hop on the computer this morning while I have the chance.

Imah will be leaving the house soon, giving me just enough time to watch 28 Weeks Later (she hates horror, so I can’t watch it when she’s around) before Prince picks me up. If he doesn’t, oh well; I have the house to myself for a few hours. I’m skipping this week’s group bike ride–for reasons I don’t care to explain. Besides, if I do go with my Prince, I won’t have the time to ride. Of course, I’m going to encourage the others to go w/o me. Just because I started it doesn’t mean I have to be present every single time. Besides, Gabe’s a much better leader than I. It’s more like I’m just the founder; he’s the president.

Anywho…on to this cool meme I discovered a few minutes ago!

Saturday 9: Almost Famous

1. Have you ever been told that you look like some famous? Back when my hair was really short, people said I looked like Halle Berry (in her Die Another Day days).

2. Name a celebrity that shares your birthday. Heh, I really don’t like sharing my birthdate.

3. Tell us about your first kiss. Sure! Before my school days, I would kiss or threaten to kiss boys to get them to what I wanted. Wait, that doesn’t sound right. Ok, so I’d threaten to kiss them ("do this or I’ll kiss you!) because little boys HATE kissing and would almost anything to avoid it. Some of them didn’t believe me or really didn’t want to comply with my demands, so I had to make good. Yeah, I was a brat–a really BOSSY brat. LOL!

4. When you meet someone attractive, what do you notice first? Eyes, smile, hair.

5. What was your biggest mistake ever? Let’s just say it was really embarrassing and I’ll never tell.

6. Give us one random, but candid fact about you. I’m left-handed–and proud of it!

7. What about your current or most recent lover excites you? His brain. He’s a genius!

8. What really annoys you? Imah’s nagging. I’d rather endure nails across a chalkboard!

9. How many other Saturday 9’ers answers do you usually read? Hm, that’s a good question! I don’t know yet!

That’s all for now! I’m going to check out my twitter updates now. I’m really addicted, especially to Mashable and TechCrunch and the like. Social networking sites are fascinating!

Almost got a job, but it didn’t work out. I can’t say I’m disappointed, though. It was the type of job I’m terrible at. So, back to the joys of job searching.

Oh, for those concerned: I just got the Firefly Series (including the 3 episodes never aired) for $20 on Amazon.com. A deal like that is more stimulating than coffee!!! Just thought I’d share.

Didn’t go bike riding. My friends didn’t want to get wet. It’s been raining/hailing/snowing. Oh well, I’m expecting a larger group for next week! I did get to see Madagascar 2 and 21 for the first time. 21 wasn’t as bad as I expected. Laurence Fishburne did an excellent job. Every time he came on the screen, we girls wailed "Creepy Man!" Madagascar 2 wasn’t bad, either. The innuendos, though–jeepers!!

Sunday Stealing: The Q & A Meme

1. where is your significant other? That’s classified information.

2. your favorite thing? My imagination. I can take it everywhere and do anything with it. Although, it can also be my worst enemy at times.

3. your dream last night? I didn’t dream. I barely even slept.

4. your goal? Get a driver license at last.

5. your hobby?  Writing.

6. where do you want to be in 6 years? Married, working an at-home job if I’m working at all. Writing novels.

7. where were you last night? Throwing up on my bedroom floor.

8. what you’re not? I don’t get why people naturally assume I’m nice. It must be my big brown puppy eyes and irresistible smile. Or maybe because, until I get to know people, I’m quiet. Quiet does not equal good/nice, peoples! You know what they say about the quiet ones!! Not that I’m trying to implicate myself as a psycho or anything. *ahem*

9. one of your wish list items? Just one? *sigh* How about this? I wanted some casual heels.

10. your pet? Hadassah, my pink, flying unicorn.

11. missing someone? My Prince. And Teddy Bear; I don’t have anyone to beat up on when I’m frustrated at work now. LOL!

12. your car? The Blood Red Van. I call it Jasper (as in Cullen).

13. something you’re not wearing? Whoa…what?

14. love someone? Yes…

15. when is the last time you laughed? A short time ago. I was teasing Samson for reading the Twilight series.

16. last time you cried? When I woke up. I was still feeling crappy and I thought my plans for the movie day were ruined!

17. favorite past time? Surfing the web.

18. are you a hater or a lover? Depends on how we get along and if you mess with my peeps.

19. any vices? Well, I’m certainly not going to voice them to the world!! How about this? I’m spoiled rotten and I have an ego that’s more inflated than a hot air balloon.

20. favorite meme other than Sunday Stealing? Unconscious Mutterings; it’s really the only one I play with any regularity.

 

So, I went to see Push with My Evil Twin, her brother Country Knight, Bullfrog, Samson and Teddy Bear. The graphics were cool. The screaming Bleeder guys made us cringe and cry for help. It left us a bit disappointed, but it wasn’t bad.  It was a pretty cool movie. It’s just that a lot more could have been done with it.

And stop shaking the bloody camera!! I hate that!!!

Anyway, yes, I passed my written driving test on Thursday and got my permit. Since I spent last night purging and determined to go on with my movie night today, I decided again the driving lessons Samson and I had planned.

My Prince and I still haven’t gotten to see each other. When I’m off, he’s working and when he’s off, I’m working. It colossally sucks. I invited him to hang out with us for the movie night, but he doesn’t want to be around a bunch of rowdy young people. He just wants some peace and quiet. Imah’s fine with that because the house isn’t presentable enough for guests just yet. Hopefully by next weekend, though… <3!

I went to Her Majesty and Tigger’s place again this weekend, even though I told myself all week that I needed to stay home and rest. Then, Samson texts me asking me if I’m coming to Tigger’s bday party on Saturday. Oh, fantastic!  This after we just had a snow storm and were expecting another weekend (which came). And I seriously needed rest. I mean, geez! I’m already going over there on Tuesday for the Chanukkah party!

Still, Tigger is one of the people whose birthday I couldn’t miss. So, I went.

We ate white/chocolate chip challah, watched Hancock and did some dancing. Of course, being with this crowd, I really enjoyed myself. Except when Samson and Le Bullfrog ganged up on me, picking me up and tossing me back and forth to each other. They just better be glad they didn’t drop me…I would have mauled them!

Without going into any further detail, I love my crazy, retarded friends! And BOO to the snow!

I have training today for the first half of work today! It’s awesome. I’m getting paid to sit in a classroom and NOT work!

Yeah, I’m in a really good mood today. I have an awesome friend who came from quite a distance to visit me
today–just because I felt moody yesterday. I shall call him Samson (I
have mentioned him recently as Newbie). He’s coming over again on
Saturday to watch Transporter 3 with me and some other friends. I can’t
wait! For one thing, I get paid and am itching to buy something. Maybe
I won’t–I admit I’m not so great at keeping shabbat. It’s the one day
I can get out usually.Samson and My Evil Twin should keep me in check.
I’m worried about Friday, though. I’ll be so excited about Saturday and
have to distract me from it. It’ll be a LOOONG day. *sigh*
I know! I’ll bury myself in my novel! I’ve been working on it. I just
haven’t updated it on my computer or online yet. I do that on the
weekends, but for the past few weekends I haven’t been home. Haha! All
part of the distraction!
Samson’s been great helping me with that. I spent this last weekend at
Her Majesty’s where he also lives. I was moping and considering not
going, but I’m so glad I did go. The funny video clips online, the
movies, the pillow fights, the sliding down the halls in stocking feet,
the “dodgeball,” and of course the coffee highs were a blast! I may
just make a regular thing of it. I would just need to toggle my
schedule because Sunday is my “clean the whole house” day. Yes, I know;
I should be doing a little bit of cleaning every day instead of a bunch
one day. I’m working on that, ok? And I am improving, too! So there!
Ah, I see it is about time for me to me to begin the day’s adventures! Off I go. Farewell!

…not that it would have hurt him anyway.

I love how Twilight has people in a frenzy. One of friends, Her Majesty, wants to "La Push Jacob off a cliff" because he’s a jerk. Another friend, VeggE, is all about Jacob and now wears an "Edward who?" button. My Evil Twin likes both Jacob and Edward. Me? I’m planning to take out Blondie and keep Emmett as my slave. Together, Emm and I will plague the world with our pranks! Muahahahaha!

Anyway, I went with VeggE, My Evil Twin and a couple other friends of theirs to visit Forks on Saturday. We got to see "the Swan home," "the Cullens’ residence," Bella’s truck, etc. We browsed the fan stores and even ate at the restaurant where "Bella and Edward had their first date." Mm.

While the others bought their fan stuff, I purchased pink sunglasses and a giant lollipop–oh, and My Evil Twin bought me a giant poster of Audrey Hepburn w/ a pink background and a kitty because I was gushing over it (I did more than gush but I’m not going to embarrass myself any further with details).

My Twilight fervor seems to be over. Maybe my own personal frenzy of trying to distract myself from my Prince’s absence. The fact that I still have 2 months till his return is driving me up the wall. Twilight is over. There isn’t anything new about it to me now. Nothing to hold my interest. I must find something else.

Wow. Um. Anyway…we also visited First Beach "where Jacob spilled the beans about vampires and werewolves to Bella." We didn’t stay long, though. We hopped over to Rialto Beach–it’s much better there. We girls got soaked teasing the tide, running from the waves. I remember doing that as a kid. I don’t think I’ll ever outgrow it. The excitement of seeing a wave pass beneath you as you stand on a pile of fallen trees. Wahoo! That was awesome!

Now, who’s up for some Transporter 3!!!

I had a wonderful weekend. It started as soon as I got off work Friday night. C4 picked me up and took me to her place where her sisters, My Evil Twin and VeggE, lay in wait to wish me a belated birthday (which I did not celebrate). I did appreciate the gifts, despite the gaudy balloons.

We played a really fun ink blot game and then watched a couple movies. I think we fell asleep around 6am. Then, around 1pm, C4 dropped off My Evil Twin and me at the mall where we met some friends: Her Majesty and her husband (Tigger), Le Bullfrog and the Newbie (a little inside joke there). We travelled another city over to see the Twilight movie at an especially nice theater.

I must say, I liked the movie. It wasn’t perfect, of course, but Her Majesty and I have decided not to assassinate any of the people involved in the creation of the film. Oh, and for the record: I loved how Ashley Greene was as Alice. She does an awesome job.

After the movie, we dropped off My Evil Twin and picked up Princess Skywalker for a sleepover at Her Majesty’s. We stayed up late playing games. Spoons turned out to be rather dangerous. I broke off one of my acrylic nails and blood from Princess Skywalker with one of my intact nails. It was still really fun, though.

We got some dancing in. Today, while the guys played video games, Her Majesty got reading done on Breaking Dawn (because I keep leaking bits to her cruelly) and I actually got some serious work done on my novel. My friends are such an inspiration to me…well…my friends and coffee.

I only got home a few hours ago. Wow. My whole weekend. What an awesome weekend. I’m hoping to carry its awesome-ness into the week’s grind.

Oh, one last note. I got an unexpected text from My Prince. He was in town for a while because his mission hit a hitch. He was only there for a couple hours and I was out of town! I probably wouldn’t have been able to see him anyway. It was nice hearing from him. I’m not sure I replied back to him in time because he messaged me earlier in the morning and I was still asleep. He was probably gone again by the time I woke up.

Oh well. It really was wonderful to hear from him. Especially as he encouraged me as usual. What a wonderful man. <3

9. Be nice :: Why are people always telling me that?
10. Delivery :: Still waiting on my Twilight Saga on audiobook. *sigh*

Well, I got to see my Prince this weekend! We walked all over town yesterday, getting ourselves drenched to the skin in the downpour. It was so fun! We shivered in the theaters as we watched Traitor and then Babylon AD. The first movie wasn’t bad; the latter was AWFUL!!! Ugh. Do yourself and DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY on that horrible movie. If you’re a big Vin Diesel fan, wait til it comes out on dvd or something.*shudder*

 

Anyway, after that, we were still kind of wet, so I insisted on stopping at a nearby restaurant for some piping hot coffee and a warm meal. We both felt better, but at that point it was getting dark. We made calls to our friends but no one was available to hang out with–no one who could pick us up, that is. So we sauntered home to change into totally DRY clothes and relax for the rest of the evening. He had to get back to the base today, though, because he has a couple of reports that have to be done by Tuesday. At least I got to see him. Those weeks without him were torture.

Anywhoo…I’ve got things to do! Have a good Labor Day!
