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!

Unconscious Mutterings, week 291:

1. Cry :: stress or heartbreak
2. Stretch :: I love stretching. It feels good and it makes me feel good.
3. Efficient :: This word makes me feel good, too.
4. Brunch :: Food!!!
5. Afro :: Cute style when used carefully. Not for everyone.
6. Preheat :: oven–for cookies!!
7. Delicious :: ok, is it just me or are you trying to make me hungry?
8. Global warming :: Time to crank out the tanning lotion!
9. Actions :: …speak louder than words.
10. Ride :: Can I walk instead?

I’m beginning to stress myself. I can barely eat lately. Of course, when I don’t eat, I can’t concentrate and my emotions go haywire. Not to mention, I’m missing my Prince to death. That alone is driving me crazy. I want to DO something crazy. Otherwise, I’ll GO crazy. *sigh* At this point, I don’t know what I’d do without my Systers of the Grand Cauldron of Mischief.

Btw, a big bunch of thanks to My Evil Twin for inviting me over to spend the day with her extended family! It was awesome!! And thanks to her and her BIG brother for hanging out with me extra long time yesterday. That includes taking me over to Walmart so I could buy a clock/radio/cd/mp3 player that I’ve been craving for a week!

Oh yeah, I’m pausing my progress with Dune so I can read Breaking Dawn at the same time as My Evil Twin. She’ll probably beat me to the end, though.

I thought this was really interesting:

Excessive texting may be a mental illness. So, if someone gets diagnosed with this “illness,” does that mean s/he gets free “happy” pills? Just curious.

Speaking of texting, I thought this was cool, too: Netlingo is like a dictionary for the new language of SMS. I myself am too much of a stickler for grammar and spelling to use this sort of thing. On the rare occasion, I will use acronyms, but usually I spell everything out properly. Maybe it’s the writer in me. Who wants to read a novel in text lingo?

No, I was not planning this, but, as of Tuesday the 18th, I will have my new phone. The Sanyo Katana II–in pink, of course. (Click here to see it.) I’m so excited; I really hate my current phone, and I was losing hope that I would get another in my favorite color.

Imah liked the sound of the Katana’s features so much that she’s getting one, too. That worried me at first…until she assured me (in a tone of disgust) that she wasn’t going a pink one. She’ll be getting the black instead.

Once I have my new phone, I’ll be taking a lot more pictures.   Oo…thousands of ideas swirling through my head! I’m so excited!! Watch out, Girlz!

~~~~~~~~~~

On another note, I’ve decided not to go into my…uh, adventures this week. Let’s just say that the lack of sleep made me giddy, the pain-killers made me woozy, and the caffeine (to compensate for the pain-killers and lack of sleep) made me hyper. I’m just glad I didn’t get hurt or get reprimanded by my boss for rowdiness.

Oh god…they all probably thought I was *on* something. Well, I was. I did admit to being on pain-killers and caffeine. Most of my co-workers seemed to enjoy (and encourage) my behavior this week, though. One of them even said I should act like that more often.

Right…

I think I’ve scared enough people. LOL!

I’m supposed to be winding down because I have to get up super early tomorrow morning (I’m talking, 2:30), but how can I when I’m so excited?! I get off work today and find out Imah has researched a bunch of phones for me (I hate the one I have now) and narrowed it down to two. Because they’re from our phone company, we can get a huge-oh discount.

I fell in love with one. It has everything I want! And it will only cost 5o bucks after the discount. Music player, camera, camcorder, and it’s a flip-top. And internet! (Can’t forget that!) So, yeah, I’m excited.

Also, Imah had me request the next two weeks off from work so that next week we can move and the following week I need to be at my other job full time. (I don’t know why I can’t just give my two weeks notice with me moving away so soon.)

Yep, tomorrow, I get off early and will start packing up the van with furniture and everything we need for over the weekend because we’ll be sleeping in our new place from then on. (Wahoo!) Imah insisted (not that she needed to) because it’s so beautiful at our new place. No duh! That’s what won me over! That and it’s being mere minutes from my Girlz’ place.

Oh dear. I’m getting too excited. Do what my friends say…deep breaths…!

So, I’m not sure how this will affect my internet presence. I was really looking forward to Friday’s memes, but the phone company told us they couldn’t give us internet at our new place until Monday! Eh. I’ll probably be too busy moving anyway.

Heh heh. Actually, not out to lunch. Out to shop.

My computer is going away to the shop for a check-up. They said it would take 2-5 business days until we can get it back. *echoing screams of horror* Neither Imah nor I can go very long without being on the computer, so the quicker the better. We probably won’t take it in until Monday, though.

Also, I’ve been busy with a difficult new work schedule which not only has me sleepy all the time but has me scrambling to find another job. Ick. I hate job hunting.

Anyway, all that to say: I won’t be blogging much from now to about a week. Ugh. I’m going to go; I’m spacing out already. Where’s that coffee? I have a kitchen to clean!

Imah bought us a vacuum cleaner a couple of weeks ago. It sucked–or rather, it didn’t suck. What I mean is, it didn’t work. So, today, we took it back to the store. Imah shocked me by suggesting before we left home to check the store’s website for the pricing of DVD players. I was speechless. You really don’t know the time and effort I’ve put into persuading her to get one. But, nooo. However, I kept the faith. After all, she was once adamantly opposed to getting a CD player…we now have three. And now, we have a DVD player! Muahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so now I want a sound system for the TV–eh, a new TV–some DVDs of my favorite shows, a laptop for myself, a digital camera, a webcam…eh-heh. Just kidding…kind of.

So, yeah, I’m excited. I could totally be a techie/geek.
