1:16 pm	So, it was just Christmas. This is the second Christmas I've been in MN since moving back from Jersey. I was much more into the "christmas spirit" when I was in Jersey, partly because of the mega-corporate-conglomerates who shove Christmas down your throat mainly in New York City. But anywayz, I looked forward to Christmas so much for 3 years, I'm sure mostly looking forward to seeing family and friends, but whatever. This year I hid in my house with my dogs for most of the Christmas season, I don't think I ventured out to any store between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Something changed in MN while I was gone. For some reason I remembered MN folk being nice people. But, now its just like NJ! Everyone in their stupid status symbol cars, (for some reason the 2 types of autos to hide from (at least in my opinion) are gigantic trucks with yuppie little women talking on their cell phones driving and 2 ANYONE in a small SUV, you know, those elevated station wagons (no dis on wagons here) which can probably fit about as much as my cheap little saturn can fit. Oh and while I'm on the subject of cars, has anyone else seen those "Lexus to remember" commercials? The ones where husbands/wives show their gratitude for their spouse by GIVING THEM A LEXUS. Fuck anyone who can give their spouse a luxury auto for Christmas especially when you don't need it. Fuck you hard up the ass with no lube. You have far too much money and should consider giving some to people/causes/whatever that really need it.) AnywayZ, everyone drives like 80mph down the express, weaving in an outta cars, riding the merge lane until the end even though there are cars backed up for almost a mile because stupid drivers think they are better than everyone else and should be able to pass everyone else who's doing what they are supposed to. I want to move to the country. I never thought I'd say it, but I do. I hated growing up in a rural area, hated every second of it, now I miss it. Now I live in the city and on every friggin corner theres a stoplight - that I SWEAR they make it so you hit EVERY red light. Much to my suprise, my Patty came home with 2 WWE Smackdown tickets on the floor. Wheeeee~!! We talked about it and we didn't think we were gonna be able to go cuz of that whole money thing and then he comes home one night after work with 2 tix and a Harry Potter poster for me. I love that boy. We're going out for Sushi (haven't tried it too much in Mpls, but loved it in jersey and ny) for my b-day. Next year, I'll be halfway to 50. Thats crazy. So, yesterday at Christmas, my lovely older brother was telling me about this incredibly disgusting thing that starts with a T. I can't remember what it is called. But, its a turkey thats stuffed with a duck and the duck is stuffed with a chicken. And guess who makes this every Thanksgiving and Christmas? Mr. Brett Favre of the Packers. What a douche. God, I hate that guy. Current Mood: anxious Current Music: Ani Fucking DiFranco (3 Comments |Comment on this)

9:58 am	Meow? I haven't posted to this thing in such a long time. Partly because for much of the past year, I've either not had a puter or just had one at home and had too many things to do to update this. Not that anyone reads it anyway, so whatever. Patty and I are heading to NYC in July for Tim's wedding. I was supposed to go out there for my b-day at the end of December, but I ain't got no money or no vacation time, so I guess thats out. That and I really REALLY want to go chill with the Buffies in Yellowstone in February or so. I think I've already babbled about the senseless slaughter of the only wild tribe of buffies in yellowstone, so i won't get into it now! Also, I'll be posting pics of my foster dog (Belle) a black cocker spaniel, who just had 3 babies 2 weeks ago! Finally passed the gross rat-like phase and now ready for pics. The first one opened her eyes on Thursday, now they all have their eyes open. Very cute! I'll also post pics of Poe and Chaska, mainly for tim, since he's the only one who reads this. :) I'm pissed that its Monday. I don't wanna work. Work is crap. Crap is work. Granted, I have this super cushy job that allows me to play online all day, but for christ sake there isn't enough to do online! I've read every friggin Wrestling column, checked on my ebay items, checked a billion animal shelter sites, blah blah blah. And the Vikings LOST yesterday! It was complete bullshit. My poor Moss (84) was getting harassed the entire game and then this ASSHOLE took the ball out of his hands as he (what would be the winning) got a touchdown. I hate that asshole. Poor Moss. My poor purple boys. I'm still hoping for a Chris Hovan jersey (99) under the tree this christmas! Hovan's my boy. He's second on my list of people I wanna marry. Oh, and fuck the packers...especially that loser Favre. Current Mood: bored (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:29 am	See first line. I know the greatest crime is just to throw up your hands say this has nothing to do with me i just want to live as comfortably as i can Ani D I just looked at the shelter for a couple places in MN. I always look up shelter listings because I do dog rescue. On one website there is actually a line that says "reason for surrendering" and I get so pissed off when I see stupid shit on there. This person has an 8 year old dog and gave it away because they were moving. Now, how after 8 years could you possibly give your dog away?!? And by your own choice! That kind of stuff makes me sick. Fuck you whoever you are. Fuck you up your butt with a big pointy stick. There were like at least 15 dogs up for adoption, most of them males, most between the ages of 1-2. These animals will probably never get to roam free in the grass again, they will probably never get to sleep in a warm bed and the saddest part, these animals will probably die thinking they are unloved. I hate hate HATE stupid people who give their dogs away when the puppy season is over. Because right after being a puppy, they become an adolescent (sound familiar?) which is quite possible the toughest age. I can imagine that most of these people gave their little boy dogs away because they were marking in the house. Coming from one person who just recently adopted a little boy (about 1 year old, he was left to die in a shelter at 7months) I completely understand the frustrations of putting on a clean pair of pants only to smell dog pee. Is that a reason for them to die? Because the person responsible for him failed in training him to not pee in the house? I don't think so. Screw stupid people who expect the perfect dog! It doesn't happen. Just like really good people who never fucked up in their lives are few and far between, it is the same for dogs. Shit and piss happens. If you had a problem touching it, then maybe you should have thought of that before you decided to take a dog! I hope those stupid people get reincarnated as dogs who get the same type owners as they are. I know only 2 people read my journal, but I really had to rant. Sorry.

2:21 pm	"What we call human nature in actuality is human habit" Phew, what a fricking week. Yesterday, exactly one month to the day after her brother died in a car accident, my Lexi was in a car accident. Her mom called and told me and we were both crying hysterically on the phone. It's funny when stuff like that happens and you think to yourself, "What if yesterday was the last time I will ever see that person again?" and then you remember what a complete and total bitch you were to the person the night before and promise to the goddess that if she makes everything ok you will be a nicer person and not be so damn critical of everything. Or maybe it's just me. I don't know. Nina (Lexi's cousin), Jeff (Lexi's boyfriend) and I were running through Hennepin County Medical Center trying to find out where she was. We were told "She's still in the ER, you'll have to wait" and then Nina and I started bawling. We were taken over to one of the nurse station thingys where we were told she was hit head on going 45 miles an hour. Holy Crap. She's lucky that all that really happened was she got a broken arm, she's really banged up though. Nina and I just cried when we saw her. She couldn't move anything except her eyes (oh and she could talk too) and let me tell you, when you hear about people having epiphanies and so forth, I think this is what they are talking about. Nothing could prepare anyone to see someone they see at least a couple hours a day laying in a "room" in the ER all full of bruises and cuts. I swear, I will think twice before doing stupid shit and freaking out at people for stupid things. Cassie and Tim, you are my best friends, hold me to it.

11:00 am	...And it's in these moments, that I feel trapped. - Melissa Ferrick It's been such a crazy fucking week and it's only Wednesday. My wonderful roommate Lexi lost her stepbrother yesterday. He was driving on the way to school (yeah, high school, he was only 17) when he hit a slippery patch of road and slid into an oncoming SUV. He died instantly. It was his first anniversary with his girlfriend. It astounds me how had he left 1 minute later, was going just a little slower, etc and everything would be different. Oy. On a happier note, I will be driving down to Oklahoma City in 10 days to pick up my second pug, Yoda. Such a cutie he is! I'm sure him and Poe will be partners in crime and I will come home to some crazy messes, but that's ok. Yoda is a rescue doggie. We think he is BostonTerrier-Pug. What a great combination! He's on buff little one! Poe is gaining weight on a daily basis. She's such a bump on a log sometimes. I love her. Is it sad when your best friend is your animal?

11:36 am	So, this weekend, the Vikings won, yay!!!! I don't know exactly when I became such a football freak, but I am what I am, right. In other news, I finally got a serger! My mom loaned me the money to get it, and I am very happy. I've been waiting for ever to get a serger. I was promised that I would get one because I got a 3.8 last semester (go me) but I don't think I should bring that up to my parents just because of all the craziness that is happening with them. But, who cares, I got me a serger. I also purchased like $60 worth of yarn and fabric. On a compeletly separate note, I think I have really high standards for my friends. My roommate (and close friend) Lexi just got herself a new boyfriend. It isn't that I don't like him per se, it's more I think she can do like 10 times better. To quote my friend Stacy, "You are shopping at Pathmark [ghetto grocery store in New Jersey] browsin the hamburger when you should be shopping at Fresh Fields browsing the filet mignon." I love that girl. I miss her and Cheryl. They are such nice people. But, back to my rant. I don't think I can remember the last time that I liked a close friend's b/f or g/f. Maybe I just have that dad mentality that no one is good enough to date my friends. I'm just being stuck up. But, since I am pretty sure Tim is the only one who reads this, it's true, right? My baby pug, Poe is doing well. She is really starting to get burly. Not fat, burly. When you see her, especially next to her friend Fury (a Dob/Rott female) Poe looks teeny tiny, but when you pick her up, you get quite a different impression. She is solid to say the least. She weighs like 13 pounds right now, and when I got her, she weighed about a pound. But, she is so damn cute! I love her! Okay, I'm at work. I should get back to crocheting. Fun fun fun.
