Life status update:

I am now single after nearly 4 years of dating Craig. A lot of people have been remarking that I don't seem very upset or depressed or what have you. I really don't have a good explanation why I'm not falling to pieces. Maybe it's just because I saw the end coming for quite a while before it actually happened. Growing apart from someone you love is unbearable and oddly unstoppable.

Being single isn't so bad, but I'm definitely not used to it yet. Luckily I have people to keep me from feeling lonely. If i didn't have such great friends I'd be more of a wreck for sure.

As for work, I'm currently at Borders. It's a pretty decent job except for the fact that they won't give me any hours at all and I'm feeling choked for cash. Nothing is worse than a payday when you can't afford to buy anything fun. :,(

Man this is the world's most boring journal entry of all time. Something fun needs to happen asap. Like TH going on tour. I neeeeeed a TH concert like nobody's business. It'll take my mind off the fact that I can't afford to scamper up to New York for a signature.

Yeah that's right. I disappear for ages and then explode back on the scene with a meme. With no lj-cut. I am so. cool.

Four First Names of Crushes I Had
I'm guessing this means a crush that was never reciprocated or that I was too chickenshit to admit to, so...

1. Corey
2. Tim (I think that was his name anyway. This is hard.)
3. Adam (Ahhh, middle school. Wait... these were all in middle school. )
4. Uhhh .... JakeGyllenhaal.

Four Pieces of Clothing I Wish I Still Owned
1. My ridiculously awesome Mp3 shirt from threadless. It was my favorite shirt in all the land and is decomposing in some landfill now, ripped to shreds. I should have kept it and made pompoms.
2. My sandals that looked kind of like they were a woven basket material. For no apparent reason I loved them viciously and as with most things, the force of my love destroyed them.
3. My brown hooded sweater that I lent to a friend. It was my very favorite thing to wear in fall and she borrowed it and disappeared into the night. I hope it keeps her warm in distant lands.
4. The warm black felt coat that my pet rat chewed up. I would have much preferred my coat to have chewed up my pet rat.

Four Professions I Secretly Want to Try
1. Secretly, huh? Uhmm okay then, acting, I suppose. Like in plays. And only plays I liked.
2. Comic artist. Is that even a secret to anyone? I doubt it but there it is.
3. Professional sexy guy dater.
4. Honestly. if I knew what profession I wanted to be I'd be in school for it.

Four Musicians I’d Most Want to Go On a Date With
1. Bushido. The German, not the Way of the Warrior. JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED.
2. Mika. But I'd have a feeling we'd just end up checking out guys together at the mall.
3. Any member of Dir en grey. Or all of them at once.
4. I bet Jake Gyllenhaal has written at least one song or limmerick.

Four Foods I’d Rather Throw Than Eat
1. Pudding.
2. Onions.
3. Combos.
4. Celery.

Someone come to my house. I want to have a pudding-onions-combos-celery fight.

Four Things I Like to Sniff
1. Arm & Hammer Essentials Lavender & White Linen Dryer Sheets. I am so serious. Buy these and sniff them.
2. Victoria's Secret "Pure Seduction" body mist. It's apparently Casaba melon, plum, and freesia but I just call it a nose orgy.
3. Craig.
4. My clothes to see if I can get another day out of them. HAAAA kidding. Yeah, totally kidding.

Patronizing You (11:23:13 PM): Can you remember anyone I ever had a serious crush on that I never told them

Imperfect Genome (11:23:24 PM): ummm

Imperfect Genome (11:23:29 PM): Jesus?

Patronizing You (11:23:34 PM): I'm trying to do this meme and the very first question is making me come up bla-SIUHFIUSHFIUSHFIUSHFIU

I finally got around to seeing Twilight today. Er, yesterday by now actually. It was... well. It was almost unfairly better than the book. I mean, don't get me wrong, it totally lived up to the hilarity I expected, but I just couldn't get over how they turned it into an almost-story with characters that had personalities. Freaky.

There were moments when I actually laughed out loud at how ridiculous things were. One instance of this was when Carlisle just walked into the room. MY GOD. He doesn't even look normal by vampire standards and he's supposed to blend in with humans every day? Other things that made me lol? Pretty much anything that Edward did or said.

On the subject of Edward, if you've read the books he's apparently supposed to be the pinnacle of absolute beauty and perfection, right? So what's the logical thing to do when casting him? Take a decently handsome guy (lol hair) and make him as unnattractive-looking as possible, DUH! It's almost cruel considering how they made Mr. Totally Nondescript and Not Remarkable in the Slightest Way Baddie Vamp kind of ...Oh, wow hot. The director also must think it's very sexy to be on the verge of tears 24/7 because seriously? I wanted to hand Edward a tissue, CONSTANTLY. He looked about three seconds from bawling from start to finish.

I can't say too much about any of the supporting cast because they had about two lines each. The majority of the acting was terribad and the scenes were dumb because the movie had to do what was in the book, unfortunately. But they improved on a few scenes, too. Off the top of my head I can say the Big Fight scene was a lot better than I expected and I actually covered my mouth in suprise at some bits. Mainly "Holy shit leg" and "holy shit HEAD!"

In conclusion, if I had to summarize Twilight in three words I would have to go with So Much Slowmo. So taken in by the epic slowmotion was I that I walked out to the car that way. Not only that, but because of all the slowmo walking scenes they used in the movie now there's none left for any other movie, ever. That's it, guys. All out.

Oh, and definitely go read Twilight in Fifteen Minutes. Lolarious.

Just got back from a 2-night stay up at Tennessee Tech visiting The Cousin. It's kind of nice every now and then to be plunged into an entirely new social circle, though being a relatively reserved person I mostly just "tread water." Dorm life looks like a lot of fun to me, but maybe that's just because I only ever catch a few short glimpses of it.

In other news, Craig bought me the Wrath of the Lich King EP!! I had fully expected to never play it, ever. I don't know if it'll get its hooks into me like it used to, but I have sort of missed being an awesome enhancement shaman. Won't get to install it til later tonight, though.

Sometimes real life is just far, far better than satire could ever hope to be as proven by this article explaining just why we need a Christian alternative to yoga.

Patronizing You (6:23:34 PM): For the next 22 years I was heavily involved with yoga, metaphysics and the New Age movement until I came to the end of myself and surrendered my life to Jesus Christ in 1987.

I call yoga “the missionary arm of Hinduism and the New Age movement.” We don’t often think of other religions having missionaries, but the philosophy and practice of yoga have been primary tools of Hindu “missionaries” to America since “Indian priest and mystic” Swami Vivekananda introduced yoga to the West at the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago.

LCSarBlack (6:24:17 PM): ROFLLLLL

Patronizing You (6:25:45 PM): Perhaps you have sensed uneasiness while doing yoga (what some call a “check in your spirit”), but you ignored that quiet nudge. I urge you to pay attention to it. Jesus Himself said, “…the sheep follow Him, for they know His voice” (John 10:4).

Patronizing You (6:25:52 PM): omgomgomgomg

Patronizing You (6:26:19 PM): Woman: *Pauses while twisted into a pretzel* ...I have the strangest feeling I just damned my soul.

LCSarBlack (6:26:39 PM): FJDKSLJFLDKSJLFSD

LCSarBlack (6:27:29 PM): woman: *does a bridge and pauses* I think I felt my soul break into a million pieces. Oh wait, no. That was just my hamstring being pulled

LCSarBlack (6:27:37 PM): same difference, really

Patronizing You (6:27:37 PM): XDDDDDDDDDDD

Patronizing You (6:30:09 PM): Did you know that yoga postures are offerings to the 330 million Hindu gods?

Patronizing You (6:30:20 PM): OH LORD BOLD RED TEXT

LCSarBlack (6:30:21 PM): XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Patronizing You (6:30:29 PM): I AM SUFFICIENTLY SCARED ENOUGH TO BUY YOUR BOOK

LCSarBlack (6:30:30 PM): you wanna know something REALLY FUNNY

Patronizing You (6:30:36 PM): What XDDDDDD

LCSarBlack (6:31:05 PM): Outside of Judaism and Islam, Hinduism is the religion most like Christianity. In some ways, it's more like Christianity than the other two

LCSarBlack (6:31:25 PM): And I say that because all of those "330 million gods" or whatever are all just different personality aspects of ONE GOD

LCSarBlack (6:31:34 PM): they're not actually separate gods

LCSarBlack (6:32:15 PM): And then there are the three major aspects of the one god: Kali (the destroyer), Vishnu (life and the present), and someone else who I can't remember who was the beginning XD

LCSarBlack (6:32:34 PM): but those three are all one with the one major God whose name I can't remember either XDDD

Patronizing You (6:32:45 PM): SARAH, THIS THINKING LEADS YOU AWAY FROM THE BABY JESUS

LCSarBlack (6:32:50 PM): XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

LCSarBlack (6:33:02 PM): I'd never thought about it until our PREACHER LIT TEACHER pointed it out to us xD

Patronizing You (6:33:51 PM): Satan is always interesting, Sarah

Patronizing You (6:33:56 PM): Just remember that

How bad is it that I cannot wait for the Twilight movie?

The more I see of it the more I am assured it's going be the worst and most hilarious film I've seen in...uhm... ever? I mean, seriously. LOLOLOL.

I can't help but have a tiny voice in the back of my head going "Hey, you know there will be other people at that theatre right? And they'll see you there. Seeing it. And think things." I need some sort of t-shirt with LOLFAN stamped across the front. And maybe a matching one that says "ChagrinedCaptive" for the poor sap I end up dragging with me. The only thing worse than going to see Twilight is going to see it alone.

So, have we had our biggest WTF moment for 2008 already? (Heath Ledger!)

The impact the news has on everyone(nearly) is a little ..what word should I use, odd? x) I learned about it via text message, my exact respond being "WHAT!!!" And everyone I spread the news to since has said pretty much the same. My phone has known muuuch activity today, and it seems so strange considering an actor we never really talked about or thought of much before, ever. Even general chat in WoW was exploding. And it seems the news reached me 3 hours after they found him. I could almost see in my mind the information shooting from person to person, spanning the entire nation as rapidly as rushing water. Hm!

Also, is it just me or was the democratic presidential debate on monday hilarious? I don't think I've ever used that word to describe political discussion before. Anyway, them candidates sure is sassy, ain't they?

Doctor called. So yeah, I have a few cysts on my right ovary and he says they should just go away on their own and to pop advil til then. I'd jump for joy over their harmlessness, but unfortunately they're still making me naseous as all hell. I can hardly remember a time when the thought of eating didn't make me turn green, a time where I didn't have to lay down every two minutes. I can't recall the taste of food, nor the sound of water, nor the touch of grass. 8D I may just hop back on the pill for a month or so, since I hear that can clear them up. I don't think I can stand being a sickly lump for too much longer.

SO, I did go to get that ultrasound done. The actual ultrasound came out to 134 bucks, so no big deal there. Now I just have to wait for results to find out if the big deal is about to hit me over the head.

The whole exam freaked me out. The woman running the machine was quiet for ages as she ran the thingybob over my ovaries. She finally admitted she couldn't find my right ovary gdsgfhaslkdk. She turned the screen over for me to see as if I could point out the damn thing for her. So she looked and looked, and had a more experience woman come in who couldn't spot it either. I'm laying there looking at the mysterious swirling black nether of my insides, absolutely convinced that the other ovary just up and left one night.

So needless to say they had to look from the inside instead. ]:< This part was so ridiculously painful and long. I was shaking and ready to punch them both in the face by the end of it. The nurses or whatever couldn't have been more horrible, what with one's total inexperience and the other's cold irritation with the first. They talked to each other the entire time and discussed the screen as if I was a practice dummy to be learned on. Meanwhile, I lay there twisting a rag in my fists trying desperately not to kill them and eat their faces.

One of them mumbled "two seperate cysts" to the other, even though it's very illegal for them to mention anything. I'll have to wait on my doctor to call to find out anything officially. Ever since that exam it's been hurting like never before. I hope they had fun poking it relentlessly. >_<

Anyway, cross your fingers for me. I applied for tenncare there before the whole procedure, so IF I get accepted then they'll go back and pay for this whole mess. The only whisper of a chance I have is being under 21 still. Otherwise I wouldn't hold my breath. *holds tongue on political issues*

On a lighter note, I have a new journal layout made by thefulcrum. I usually am stubborn and make my own shoddy ones, but this one was so pretty and I was feeling particularly lazy. Check it outz, mang.

So I might have an ovarian cist? I'm scheduled to have an ultrasound today to verify what it is. To be honest, I'm exhausted at the thought. I don't want to watch them wince when I say I have no insurance. I'm tired of feeling ill all the time, but I don't want to bother with anything. I know its irrational to not want to fix an obvious problem, but the thought of more debt doesn't make me glow inside.

Hello, everyone! I hope your Holidays were as awesome as mine, seriously. My Christmas loot blew me away this year.

First up, a new widescreen computer monitor from Dad~ Our old 17 inch died and we had to resort to a 10 inch hell for a long time. But now I bask in 20 inch LCD glory.

Also, a wireless keyboard and mouse. Technically, I bought this for mom and dad, but I like them so much it might as well be a present for me, too.

Dad got me an iPod!!! Oh, new iPod, I love you so. You can also see my Hershey pot of gold from Craig and my ancient millennium countdown clock, ROFL.

PACHIRISUUUUUUU! XD Alec got me this in honor of our newfound pokemon addiction.

Also Bonsly. ROFL. You can fling it out of that there pokeball. >x)

My parents bought me this little wacom TABLET!!! I can't stop playing with it. I've drawn countless terrible and hilarious things, but I'm working on something at least a little bit good.

Okay and this one isnt so obvious. Craig bought me an R4 and a micro sd card for my DS so now it's officially modded and I have EVERY game EVER RELEASED for free. :B

And various sparklebobs. I apparently strike my family as a jewelry-loving maniac because even though I wear NO jewelry ever, I have tons of jewelry and jewelry boxes from them. Well, it's sweet all the same.

Also I got a 50 dollar gift card from Craig's father even though we don't see eye to eye. I grudgingly appreciate it. Also, cash. Also, random stuff!

Yeah, it's a little late for a Christmas loot post, but on the other hand, I don't care. I don't think I've ever felt so spoiled or loved on Christmas. Growing up we've always been a little poor. Christmas has always been good, yet modest. But it seems like Dad really went all out this year. I was extremely touched after everything we've been through as a family this year. Dad getting laid off was such a blow, seeing as mom's MS prevents her from working. I had a job at the time, and managed to give what little help I could toward groceries and other bills. Then Mom and Dad's ugly split-up, and hesitant reunion... I felt like this year I could be there for my Father in a way I've never been before, and we've grown much closer for it. I know these gifts might not seem like much to some families, but I look at them and see us rising from the ashes this year, and I see Dad's gratitude for everything I tried to do.

I've been out of a job for a while, so Mom went out and cleaned this woman's house with her sister so I could have some extra money to buy people presents with. I was utterly blown away when she gave it to me, and I combined it with my ridiculous change hoard and spent every cent of it on presents. I was determined to not spend any of it on myself since she set such an example of selflessness. I got Craig a guitar hero controller for his xbox, and so determined was I to throw him off the scent that I wrapped him a decoy present of a box full of junk, and hid the real one. The decoy present was nothing but a towel, an old clothes iron, a hammer, and a shoe. Oh it was hard to keep a straight face as he shook it in puzzlement all up til Christmas. x)

So tonight it actually snowed a little! The whole house crowded around the windows in amazement. Here in the South, and especially in this valley, snow is exceptionally rare. It was just a dusting, really, but I went and stood out on the balcony in my bare feet and Craig scraped up as much as he could to throw at me. I think we may go up to the mountains soon to see it in bunches. <3

Alright, so donating plasma? Is horrible.

I did it for two reasons basically. To help with Christmas spending, and to try it once and see what it was like. Never again. Never, ever again. I showed up at the center around 9:00 in the morning since I knew that being a first time donor would mean I'd live out my whole life and die there if I showed up during busier hours. I should have been warned when it took approximately 157 nurses to find a vein in my arm worth using. I went with my boyfriend, but he got called in before I did so I got to sit around in the lobby for a whole hour before they were ready for me, too. I actually got hit on while waiting, wtf? At a donation clinic? Are you for reals, random guy?

Okay so cut to getting into the actual swing of things. They impaled my arm with a giant spike, right? (I always have to stare intently at the needle going into my arm or I just can't do it. I have to know when the exact moment of death will be or i'll jump and it'll tear my arm right off.) They kept having to remind me to pump my hand and eventually gave me a crumpled up ball of paper to squeeze cuz I obviously wasn't doing it right. Way to pump, me. I couldn't stop staring at the needle and tube and my arm and at the man who brought me to my doom. I texted him every little thing at first. "The needle still hurts." "My hand is numb now." "I think my arm is turning purple?" cuz I could just tell something was going to go horribly wrong.

So yeah, I look down and blood starts pouring out around the needle and I wave down a nurse like "Uhm, I'm bleeding? Is that normal?" when it started to hurt and I saw my vein swelling up all huge. I'm apparently a huge wimp because then my stomach felt sick and I almost threw up and got all fainty. I started to sweat and my hearing left completely and three nurses were trying to keep me in the land of the living. ROFL. NEVER AGAIN. They just stuck my other arm after that and gave me all my blood cells back. Oddly enough, I couldn't seem to STOP pumping my hand after that. They told me three times that I didn't have to anymore but it just kept going of it's own free will. They finally took my paper ball away from me. :'(

So that was a while ago, anyway. The giant purple bruise blotch on my arm is just starting to fade. I think I was just having a bad streak of luck that week, because a couple days after that my car broke down on the side of the road in knoxville at 4am and I had to walk three miles to Craig's cuz my phone was dead. :( Oh, me. There's mud permanently ground into my cute little shoes.

SO, CHRISTMAS. I'm ready. Bring it on. Presents!!!

furious enough to update your crusty lj

If you're going to post amateur "artistic" porn of yourself in your livejournal, for god's sake put it under an lj-cut. If you can't do that, delete me from your f-list this instant.

You have a right to self-expression. I have a right to not have to scour my eyeballs. LJ cut = YOUR FRIEND. LJ cut! We all win! Say it with me.

Sup? I know I don't visit much these days, but that doesn't mean I love y'all any less. I'm simply swe[t away by life and sheer laziness. Anyway, I'm going to stroll back into your lives momentarily like the johnny-come-lately I am. That's just the way I roll.

1. New Car. I saved up for ages and bought myself a 1993 Honda del Sol. Looks like this:

<3

It's really fun to drive. I'm just praying this one lasts me a good deal longer than my first car. As in, not less than a year, plz. PLZ. It only has 147k miles on it, which is about half the life of a honda engine, on average. I just have to take better care of this one than the last. It's given me a few scares, but they turned out to be my fault. We do not speak of the day I drove to work with the emergency brake on.

2. I have now held down a job for ALMOST 7 months. My standard record is about 3 months or less so far. I just recently got a second raise, bringing me up to 9$ an hour even. I also do 80% less work then I used to do. Back in the beginning I took calls for three different companies(Gametap, Nascar, AccSelect.com)but they chopped Gametap off completely since it was getting so busy less agents were able to handle the little guy(Accselect). So basically I sit around waiting for that annoying little beep beep in my ear that tells me a redneck is about to yell at me. Most days I'll take one or two calls in an 8-hour shift. They pay me to play free webgames and be bored out of my mind. I'm gettin' pretty damn good at Gold Miner.

3. On May 6th I will be 20 years old. No longer a teenager. No longer able to act irresponsible and blame it on my age group. Growing up I used to really REALLY dread the day when my childhood would end, but now that its here I'm pretty much cool with the way things are. I guess it helps a little that I do not yet have any true responsibilities, but I'd like to think I've grown up a little. My inner 9-year-old is probably more like 12 now.

4. I saw Spiderman 3: The Attack of Conner Oberst. I didn't like it, honestly. I'll cut the short convo I had about it for spoilerific reasons.

Patronizing You (1:43:35 AM): I saw Spiderman 3 today
Patronizing You (1:43:39 AM): I thought it was kind of suck
Sevirus Victrix (1:44:10 AM): I saw it last night
Sevirus Victrix (1:44:24 AM): I <3'd it!
Sevirus Victrix (1:44:28 AM): It gave me a geek-boner
Patronizing You (1:44:58 AM): Meh.
Patronizing You (1:45:21 AM): The bad-guys were meandering with barely any goals at all
Sevirus Victrix (1:45:26 AM): True
Patronizing You (1:45:27 AM): you barely saw venom
Sevirus Victrix (1:45:32 AM): Venom needed more screen time
Patronizing You (1:45:41 AM): the first tiem spiderman even really fights him, he kill him with pipes
Patronizing You (1:46:01 AM): And it was 80% soap opera, 20% superhero movie
Patronizing You (1:46:38 AM): And wtf Harry? Like you can't afford reconstructive surgery
Patronizing You (1:46:51 AM): and he decided to forgive Peter at the drop of a hat
Sevirus Victrix (1:47:10 AM): Well, he forgave Pete when he learned that his dad killed himself
Patronizing You (1:47:13 AM): and Peter doing the kiss with that random girl, wtf.
Sevirus Victrix (1:47:16 AM): That was his driving motivation for killing him.
Patronizing You (1:47:20 AM): and Mary Jane kissing Harry
Sevirus Victrix (1:47:26 AM): I liked it
Sevirus Victrix (1:47:29 AM): But to each their own
Patronizing You (1:47:41 AM): and then they never even resolved that Mary Jane was forced to break up with him!
Patronizing You (1:47:50 AM): But eh
Patronizing You (1:47:54 AM): it was a movie
Patronizing You (1:48:23 AM): And Peter's emo hair and scarce traces of eyeliner cracked me uuuup
Sevirus Victrix (1:49:09 AM): I know, right! Remember when he did the pelvic thrusts outside of the suit-store?
Patronizing You (1:49:43 AM): WTF RIGHT
Patronizing You (1:49:44 AM): XD
Patronizing You (1:49:54 AM): It hurt a little
Sevirus Victrix (1:50:40 AM): I was laughing my ass off

So there. There's some stuff.
