It is a very strange sensation to have your dog fall asleep on your arm and then start dreaming. Her jowls are twitching and tickles... very odd. And I can only type with one hand. Sigh. I'm a nice mom

While in Portland we were robbed. Thankfully they only took the entertainment center crap. It's all replaceable. They did rifle through the mail so I have to call and take care of all credit cards. I already took care of the checks which were the most pending since it was obvious they went and maybe took some of those.

They did kick Mocha something fierce. I hope she bit the shit out of them. And used her big girl bark.

I'm past being angry and sad. Now I'm just blah about it. I'm doing my own detective work because, come on, this is Denton PD with a minor robbery.

The sad thing: I'm still sitting in Keller and haven't even been back to Denton yet :sigh: We have a volleyball game tonight and it makes no sense for me to drive all the way up there and then all the way back etc. My priorities may seem out of whack but really? What more can I do? I go up there and survey the damage and then..... what? Cory's apparently already taken care of everything with the police and the landlord.

Thankfully I was given tomorrow off.

But ya. Not really a Sunday-Funday. Doubt I'll even make out to my usual hangout tonight due to anxiety ridden dog who I really haven't gotten to see in the last week. It's hard when I work all week and have stuff going on at night.

I really would like a vodka though. And a little hair metal.

:sigh:

We'll see when I get up there what the damage is.

Stupid fucks.

So I FINALLY got a new computer! :happy dance: Dad and I went shopping on Saturday and I picked up a very sleek Toshiba. Super light. Very shiny. I'll find a picture of it in a bit. At the moment though I'm rockin' the techie-geek look. Have to transfer 5yrs worth of stuff from Herbert to the yet-unnamed new comp. YEAH! :headdesk:

Hurray new toys!

Dilemma

2008-12-02T01:31:51Z

Oh the dilemma.

I can go see Chris next week, for a week, but it's going to cost me about $450 since I can't fly D3 into Durango. My dad is willing to pay half (?!) BUT he was also willing to pay half for a new computer.

ARGH! I REALLY need a computer but I would also like to see the boy.

Rawr. I could afford the ticket on my own but I'd have to put it on my card and then hope I have enough cash to last me through the holidays. The whole needing to buy Christmas presents is a necessity as well. Inevitably I go overboard on presents and end up spending about $500.

AHHH!!! I'm leaning to the computer and then just paying off the credit card bill. Maybe. Probably.

2008-11-16T20:09:44Z

Holy crap balls!

Sooo... last night I totally made out with and had a massive dance/grind/sex through clothes session with the front man for Stomp

WHAT?!!? Let me review. Went to see Stomp with Martha. Loved it. Went to Saucer after to grab a drink and let the crowd in the parking garage filter out. Saucer had a live band so we stuck around. Two of the performers walk in, with fan girls. After a bit, see them tabbing out so I decide to go and congratulate on a lovely show, blah blah blah. Front man is very lovely and British and tells me thanks and oh by the way, we're going to City Streets you should come. Martha and I choose to after we finish our beers and tab out. Head to City Streets. SUPER NICE staff except for the coat checker who was a total douche. Check out all the bars down there (I love basement bars). Run into pretty and very tall British boy. Buy he and Martha a drink. We go back to the Hip-Hop room and proceed to dance (I don't dance unless it's with sexy British boys). End up moving to the upper deck area so as to get out of the way. More grindage (I've always wanted to say that) and then some massive making out.

For reals.

For serious.

I laughed the entire ride home and I'm still laughing and WTFing.

Gah I love life.

And because I'm too lazy to upload a photo to my photobucket account- A link to his pic He has shorter hair now. Wears it in a mohawk for the show.

LIFE IS HAPPY

ETA: We've been texted all afternoon and he said he was going to(/might) call me after the show. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Dear Bobby Flay,

LEARN TO PRONOUNCE SPANISH WORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you want to claim to do Southwestern style, learn to fucking pronounce the words correctly.

It's a "chee-pawt-le" not "chee-pot-lee"

Also. It's a "cheela keeleez" not "chee-lee-kil-es"

For reals dude. That's the reason I hate you so much. Well, one of many. But a prominent one.

Here's a random thought spurred from watching the videos from last week's Intro class. It was a "behind-the-scenes" at an autism clinic run by Matthew Israel; they use contingent shock on SIB (self-injurious behavior). It's rather effective and used when the SIB is dangerous to the person or others.

On the show, they met with one of the success stories: a man who had autism and severe SIB. After being on the shock program for a period of time (along with other behavior modification plans) he is now high functioning. He carried on good conversation with the lady who was doing the story and holds a job in the clinic's lunchroom. He also lives in a group home on the grounds.

The question that keeps plauging me (and anyone else who has every dealt with SIB, aggression, or stereotypy)- what was he thinking during those bouts of SIB? Really! If he can hold a conversation should he not be able to enlighten the community as to what was going on in his mind when those behaviors were being emitted? Behavior analysts can only determine so much from experimental conditions but I'm fascinated to know what the person is really thinking or if out-of-whack neurons are just firing.

Thoughts?

Why I shouldn't watch "Psychic Witness" on ID

2008-10-09T20:46:03Z

Gah.. psychics are so dumb! Actually, those that approach psychics for information (including police) are dumb.

Check this:
"All I asked for was his name and I immediately felt a connection but then I felt blocked! So a called his uncle back and 'connected' with Eric through him."

HOLY SHIT?! Are you for real? Of course you "felt blocked"- you aren't doing anything! Your cold reading went dead so instead you turned to a hot reading- calling the uncle. He'll tell you everything you need to know and you do your research at the same time.

OH! And I'm sure that newspaper articles about the murder helped a tad.

GAH! I don't use my powers for manipulation and neither should they. Asses.

2008-09-29T22:43:48Z

BWAHAHAH!

Ok. I can't be that upset about being an idiot. I just got the BEST application thingie request on Facebook.

Backstory: So I hung out with this guy back at the beginning of summer. He was cute, had some intelligence, and made me laugh. The first date we went on was to feed ducks. Super fun! Anyways.. things are ok, he's a little call/text happy but mer. I could deal. Thheeeennn.. he makes a comment that just sets me off and I stop talking to him. Fast forward to a month or so ago- he sends me a cryptic text asking me to call. Turns out he had a scare and wanted to let me know {it all worked out. Nothing was wrong}.

Today:
I get a notification on facebook. Here's what it says: "[boy] wants to see how alike you are. Take the "Most important things in a relationship (AFTER LOVE)" to find out!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!

I don't know why this amuses me so much. Flattered, yes. Amused, highly!

WHY IS THERE TENSION IN THE HOUSE?!?!

Argh.

Well. It probably didn't help that I decided to cook at about 2:30am this morning while he was sleeping. Ooops. But ya know what? I really wanted to cook (and no, it was not a drunken stupor that initiated it). I do feel bad because of all the things I chose to cook was tilapia.

And drink some wine.

With Tank.

Probably not the most considerate move but it still doesn't rank up there with the shower incident.

Bah. I shouldn't care that much. I went shopping for more staples for the fridge, I bought laundry soap and dryer sheets {which is being used by the current boy-toy}.

Maybe it isn't about last night/this morning. Maybe it's something else. Who knows.

Why do I care?

On a different note: infestation of caterpillars!!!! AH! Apparently this happens every year but it's still creepy to see your grass moving and there is no wind.

Need to finish homework so I can enjoy the rest of my night. Maybe a girly movie and a bottle of wine?
