Bobby? Bobby commented? But I talk to you on the telephone? Not this week, but later. And Kelsey commented. thanks, Kelsey for comenting even though it was a really short post.

So, yesterday was the first day of work. I said that already but my hands are already used to the weight so I can say it again. XD Right now I work with two guys [Brandon and Kurt] but yesterday Kurt was didn't show up until lunch so it was me and Brandon doing all the really gross stuff. That sludge was nasty. I'm a Biologist so I get to deal with gross body fluids and stuff, but that sludge was worse. Very quickly I realised Brandon was gay. I meantion that now because when my lunch came I went to my dad's office to get it from the fridge and he asked if Brandon was hitting on me yet. So I said, "I don't think he swings that way." My dad was working so he just sort of nodded. Three...two...quickly turns around to look at me. He looked really shocked, it was so funny. Brandon's only 19 and already engaged. I'm almost twenty-one and am still like 'phht, don't hold me back'.

Kelsey, if you do read this I did find a water gun when I was sweeping around a machine. It was pretty random. Metal shavings, metal shavings, dust, water gun, metal shavings. XD

Kurt is 18 and is actually friends with my sister. After he got there he was just really quiet, he kept wandering away from me and Brandon. Then I said one thing that changed everything, "Do you know my sister?" "Who's your sister?" I say her name. "OMG! She's your sister. I love her. She's awesome." Blah blah bladdy blah. My response? "Yeah, she's a bit*h." That word between me and my sister isn't exactly insulting so it's alright.

Today was the second day of work. We had no supervisor so it was fun, except the shoveling muck and stuff. We did get to do the shoveling outside so that was alright. My back is sore. I'm sore everywhere. My highlight, and this is going to make me sound like a masochist, but my highlight was being thrown from the cart thing we ride around in. The factory is huge so we need that to carry the shovels, brooms, and move us around so we can get more work done. Well, I think these things go 40mph, it says 60mph, but I think it's rigged so it won't go that fast. I step all the way down and it doesn't go 60mph. Okay, so Kurt is our driver because I like riding on it more than driving and Brandon is convinced he'll crash it. Well these are carts, so you stand up and hold a rail. We work with grease, are you starting to get it? I have a system on keeping my ground I discovered years ago when we still owned a boat. I loved standing on that thing, and that really did go 60mph. So I was standing on this thing, with greasey hands, holding a metal bar with one hand. I had my left foot back instead of my right, so when Kurt, driving 40mph turned, I lost my footing. I went flying off, and I saw it coming so I tried landing on my feet. I did, but we were going 40mph so the momentum took me from my feet, to my knees, and then tossed me over behind something. Since I saw it coming I did protect my neck and head (the floors are cement). What was really funny was Kurt didn't know what happened so he kept going. I hear Brandon yelling at him to stop, I hear Kurt ask why, and I hear Brandon telling him I fell off. At that point I alreay jump up and tell them I'm okay. So we just continue, but I did have to tell Kurt to go faster. I got two very large bruises on my knees, my left one is swollen. I scrapped up my right elbow, so that was bleeding. And I had to sort of hide it so my dad wouldn't find out. He would probably fire me if he thought I was fooling around. Being his daughter who he refers to as the son he should've had (note to self, never introduce boyfriends XP) means he's harder on me than other people. ...I do have a brother, he's just attached to the X-box.

Okay, so, work sucks but my muscles are already getting the hang of it. They've had a three year break, about time I start using them again. Paper work is definately worse...but I work next to the UAW who hates my family. And it's not worth 9$. Dirty jobs are supposed to be double digits.

Thanks for the comments Kelsey and Talim. I now work cleaning up a factory getting it ready to sell. It was one of the many factories that shut down in my area due to the UAW being corrupt and greedy. (They think they're the Mafia, it's so dumb.)

Alright, today was my first day of work. 7:30-15:30, but today I got off at 15:00 because I had a meeting. But regardless I spent all that time sweeping this really heavy sludge. It was nasty. I'm not in the best mood, I'm sore, my nerves in my left wrist are shot, my typing hand aches, and the only reason I'm going back tomorrow is because it pays 9$ an hour and I need the cash for the week I'm in New Zealand.

Really short post, but I'm really hungry and typing kind of sucks right now. It'll be better after my hands get used to all that weight.

   finals!!!! 2009!
Thanks for the comments Kelsey and Talim. The dress shop was called 'something Black & White' or 'Black & White something'. Everything was black and white. It was interesting. And like I said on dA, the dress is for Australia. Yays for Australia! If I can find something to stick under the skirt portion of this dress I bought in Cozumel I can just wear that dress. I love that thing but can't wear it anywere because the skirt part is see through. I bought it from a Mayan for 80$, or was it 60$? It was 120$ but I talked him down. Nice man, thought my mother's way of speaking to me was terrible. It is if you don't understand the French.

Three of my four finals are done. I did have a "test" in Chem lab two weeks ago. Very easy, flying colors, all that. I don't my grade on my Bio lab practical yet but I'm sure it went better than the other one. I did get one wrong for sure, the skin. I forgot it was called 'integument' and wrote something else. I'm so mad about that.

Relst final, my grade will go up. Right now my final says B, but that's without the essay. It'll probably be more like a B+. Very easy, very relaxed.

Bio...eh. Biology has become Chemistry. At the start of the semester Chemistry for some weird reason was hard. I failed everything. I didn't get why because I am technically an alchemist (which is harder than chemistry in some ways). But then Biology shifted to very difficult and Chemistry became alright. So the final was no cool. I memorized the parts of the human eye like I was supposed to, the exam had a human heart not eye. And the last question was like something from a nightmare: Name 6 glands in the human body, two hormones they secrete, and what the hormones do. WTF! I got the glands but to remember the scientific names of specific hormones? Adrenalin is not called adrenalin, but I put it down anyway. I got four hormones and what they did matched with the glands. Then I wrote a couple nickname hormones and what they did off to the side. Then I said what the glands did. I was aiming for so much partial credit for that one. ...I spelled that one valve of the heart wrong but it was the scientific name. I better get credit for it. I don't know my grade yet. If I have less than a C in this class I'm going to be really really mad. This should be my best class because this is what I am.

Today was History. I had to read Survival in Auschwitz for it. I finished at 1:00 (that's AM). It's another B. We haven't gotten it graded, but it feels like a B and what I found out was that in this class you get what you feel. If I get really lucky it's an A. I knew the book really well so the essay went good. That's most of the points. And that girl who sat next to me all semester lent me a piece of paper and saw my name. She thought it was awesome. I kept trying to say thanks or something but, well, what do you say when someone starts raving on and on about your name? Especially when you don't really like them and more than likely they don't really like you? Cute guy that sat next to me really was named Mike. That was funny. I called all guys 'Mike' and it was he name. The girl and her gay friend were saying how cute he was before he came in. Then when he came in she started talking to him and...I think she likes him. That didn't sit well with me, oh no. But, hey, I never made a move and I'm going to Australia so I did nothing. She's wasting her time though, he's not into her because she's easy.

And tomorrow morning is my Chem final. I get out before lunch. I'm in a contest on dA so I'm going to get working on that. I got to submit it tomorrow. If I submit it on the deadline I look lazy.

I walked to Ashford pond A today. Swarm of geese. Fennel and Ember were there but everyone was in such a bad mood I left...after snapping a shot of the two goslings.


Fiorello and Carmine by ~Bella-Dean on deviantART
I don't have these two down with a group so I had more fun with the names. Fiorello is the lighter of the two, Carmine is the darker. One is a gander but when I saw him acting like a gander he ws much further away so I don't know which.


Figaro by ~Bella-Dean on deviantART
And my girl Figaro. Isn't she cute? She's mad because last week I did "inventory" so caught her. The other two frogs I deal with are Giovanni and Puccini. Puccini stayed the winter with us when he was very young.

Um, I should be studying something about energy and valence electrons so I better get off. I start work Monday so we'll see how that goes.

Question mark mood= ...I'm watching kangaroos. Eewww, they do some nasty thing. This is why I work with carnivores.

Ack! Kelsey commented twice. I was so excited about them Phils. And the Derby was totally awesome! I forgot to add horses and dogs to the sports I watch. So, my mom thinks I might have PCOS because I only get my period...well I actually don't know how many times a year. Less than ten always. And it's extremely painful. And sometimes they can go for two weeks, which sucks. Lucas was my aunt's husband's nephew so he wasn't related to me. The report said he had a heart attack. Healthy active 7 year olds don't have heart attacks so it was probably the headache meds the doctor gave him. That's just scary.

Let's see, what I meant was that I really have done just about everything. XD I rode elephants, camels, horses, and even a Mastiff. I've traveled out of the country. I've flirted with danger and laughed at death, haha.

Alrighty, so I went to a hockey game the other night. I almost lost my voice and swore up a storm. The home team lost but that was expected. Indiana doesn't even know what hockey is so of course they'll lose. We sat next to the team so you could smell them. Took me back to my hockey days. I could fly. I bet I could beat these boys in a foot race. Well, after I got back in shape, haha. I posted more on my dA. They had cheerleaders so I went off about how hockey should never have cheerleaders. Oh, and I added an ID over there so you guys can go see what I look like if you want. (Don't do it!)

I put dresses in my scrapbook over there. I guess you can't share scrap pictures so I'll put up links. The pictures are grainy/blurry because my brother took them on his phone. His phone sucks compared to mine.
dress 1
dress 2
dress 3
dress 4
dress 5
dress 6
My favorite is number 6. Too dressy for the occasion but I was really sick of all the black and white. ...Okay, now I'm slighty uncomfortable. I put up my ID and get a watcher right off the bat. Usually I don't get watchers or favs until I post more stories. One chapter fragment got two random people favoriting it. Not too shabby considering there is no possible way for people to find anything I draw or write. You have to know my search word to find them.

Okay, I need to stop talking about dA on Otaku. Oh, wait, one more thing: Nevada by Ace Gallagher. Nevada is my character from Mirror Image. Ace asked to draw him so of course I agreed. I love when Epic characters or my characters get drawn, since I don't exactly like drawing. So, that's definately worth a look. That brings it to one fan art for me and one for Epic. And we don't even have a show yet, not bad.

Okay, now I'm finished with all that stuff. My geese came back. If you have no idea what I'm talking about that would mean you haven't known me very long. Recap:

May 31, 2007: I meet a family of wild geese and dub them the Spice Group. The parents are Florcie (goose) and Faust (gander). The babies are Sage, Poppy, Tarragon, Parsley, Fennel, and Basil. There is an extra baby that's not part of the family. I name her Mica. These geese are so wild they don't know what bread it.
June 4, 2007: The Spice Group is accompanied by another family with five older goslings. This family is nasty and totally wild. I call them the Fire Group. The gander is Attila and the goose is Lilith. Goslings are; Ash, Spark, Cinder, Ember, and Soot.
---Over the summer I bond more with the Spice Group, especially Basil. He eats from my hand, sits in my lap, and is almost like a pet. Attila and Lilith quickly become the meanest most aggressive pair I have ever met. Mica, never belonging, wanders off and dies before I leave for my trip to NY where we come up with Epic.
The geese return in early 2008. Fennel of the Spice Group and Ember of the Fire Group become mates. One April 15, 2008 Ember lays six eggs in a pile of mulch. So, with two cracked ribs I walk a quarter mile everyday to feed and water her. May 14, 2008 the eggs hatch and the Tabasco Group is born. They are; Fenugreek, Kindling, Cinnimon, Flame, Garlic, and Arson. Arson quickly becomes the standout. The Fire Group has also returned with goslings. The 2008 Fire goslings are; Smoke, Inferno, Blaze, Char, and Scorch. Scorch is the standout. I don't see much of last season's goslings or Florcie and Faust. I saw Basil once very briefly and Tarragon. They both remembered me which was awesome.
---Now it is 2009 and Ember and Fennel are back. I haven't seen them for a week so I'm hoping she nested somewhere, and in a wiser location. Last season was her first time though so I guess she didn't know it was unwise to nest on a pile of mulch in the middle of the road. There are already five babies but I haven't gotten very close. Since it's early and there are only five my guess is that the Fire Group has started the season, as they usually do. I did encounter a rather nasty pair earlier today though. I'll see once I get to the babies. Attila and Lilith pass on that fire to all their offspring so who knows. Even Ember has a nasty streak. I rarely see it because she knows me so well, but other people have said she was ready to attack them. They couldn't believe the wild nesting goose ate from my hand and let me pet her. It's patience, and a lot of it. I'm very excited to see Fennel's goslings for this year. I haven't seen Tarragon or Basil...unless....

Okay, yesterday there was this gander just standing next to this large tree on the side of a somewhat busy road. He wouldn't move. He shifted legs or laid down, but he didn't move other than that. Other geese would go to him, but he still wouldn't move. So I thought maybe he was hit by a car and sort of stunned. I drove by again close to 23:00 and he was still just laying there. My mom went out early today and came back around noon. She said he was still there. And so, because as the biologist in charge of the geese in the Ashford and Wellington ponds, I a quarter mile to see what's up. He was a good sized gander. Basil was a large gander, that's why I wonder. So, I get really close and he doesn't do anything. He opens his eye, but no alarm or anything. I decide to check the geese at Ashford pond B to see if I knew any of them. There was an aggressive pair and a lonely goose that stood out. I fed the goose but she didn't really know me. The geese I work with a lot come to a call I make and she didn't. She did understand bread so she came from a family who was fed before. After that I went back to the gander. He was still standing there. He opened his eye but let me get really close. He wouldn't take any of the bread or attempt to eat. I got close enough to touch him (of course I didn't because he's wild) and he took his head from his wing. That's when I got a good look. No white barcode marking on the forehead so it wasn't Fennel. Thank God it wasn't Fennel. The reason that gander stood there for two days was because he lost his eye in a fight with another gander. I don't think is dawns on people just how dangerous ganders can be. They're very territorial and those beaks hurt, I know I've been on the recieving end. I walked the gander across the street to the Ashford B pond. The lonely goose came right over to him. He tried eating a dandilion and got in the water. He was very off balance since he only got blinded two days ago.

So, I worried that could've been Basil but now I'm worried it could be Arson. This gander wasn't as big as Basil, I don't think, but it didn't really see me as a threat. That worries me. I might remian him just because now you can definately tell him from the others. Attila and Lilith are easy because they're super aggressive and Attila is a good bit smaller than Lilith. Ember purrs at me, eats from my hand, and let's me pet her. Not to mention she's paired with Fennel who has the white barcode mark on his forehead. Tarragon has a large white patch on her side. Blaze has chubby cheeks, seriously. It's so cute. OH, I wonder if that aggressive pair was Soot and a female. Soot was the only gander from the 2007 Fire Group goslings. He wasn't there last season. There are a lot of ponds in the area and I only have access to four, and the geese don't think of them as first pick ponds.

Blaze of the Fire by ~Bella-Dean on deviantART
See, chubby cheeks. He's so cute.


Arson by ~Bella-Dean on deviantART
He's 2-3 hours old here. I have a picture of him younger but he's wet. That gunk on his head becomes a trademark. He was always getting into things.


Fennel of the Spice Group by ~Bella-Dean on deviantART
This was just to get a document of his marking. See, looks like a barcode.

Okay, that's it. All those and more are on my dA in my Orinthology file. I got a new camera so I'm just waiting for the 2009 goslings now. Geez this was long.

oldrgh
April 9: Three exams all back to back, then a Chem exam on the following Monday. Results: A, B, B, D. Which class got the D? Biology. How the heck did I get a D in Biology? I'm a Biologist! Oh well.

April 23: My aunt's 7 year old nephew died. His name was Lucas. My other aunt's dog died either that Friday or during the weekend. None of this is too unusual for my mother's side of the family. It goes through times when the population drops suddenly.

Those are the only two dates that really stick out to me. I had a Bio research paper due last Friday. Did that. I have my practical this Friday. I just came from a review session and still stink like dead frogs. Unless you shy away from all this, you should know that stink doesn't just wash off. I washed my hands several times and took a shower.

I had a meeting for Australia a little bit ago...eight days. That was fun. I gave some of the boys the wrong idea about me, but they'll learn soon enough. We played a game and everyone went before me and went multiple times, so when it was my turn I said "I think I've done everything" because I couldn't think of anything I haven't done that people wouldn't mind saying in front of a prof. I haven't smoked, gotten high, gotten drunk, or had sex. People aren't going to admit to those with two profs in the room, especially when you're sort of trying to convince them it's okay to take you to another country. Yeah, so a few guys started staring at me and snickering. Sorry, boys, that's not what I meant. Minds out of the gutters please, if only for a moment. Oh, and apparently Aussie boys love trying to hook up with American girls. So we got a bunch of warnings about that. Not discouraging it, which was weird, just saying to becareful. You get in a conversation and they think you want to jump them. I think that's all guys though so I'm not going to freak out. It creeped all the other girls out. Now they all think they'll get raped just for talking to a guy over there. The way I took it, and I listened carefully, was they can buy you drinks and you can get into conversations, you just have to make it known that you don't want to go to their backseat. I'm very excellent at letting my intentions known.

Well, easy to say I have not been around. I don't go on theOtaku at all. The only anime I really like is FMA and with the new serise started I don't want to come across any jokes or wallpapers from it. So I'm going to stay away from there until I watch it in English. I made myOtaku account because I liked the first FMA but then didn't use it until I was done watching it. So you could technically subtract two or three years from my join date.

So, practical this Friday and it'll be extra hard. Then I hit finals week. I skipped most of the last Relst unit, but I should still be okay. Chem exam and quiz both got B's. I'll be fine unless it covers the whole term. I still can't spell all the elements right and I'm sure I forgot some of the numbes for conversions I had to memorize. History will be alright. I have a B in the class so I guess I just keep doing what I do. Amazing, I go to History and laugh my head off at my prof who runs around ranting and swearing, but I come out knowing a lot more than when I went it. Biology had shifted to the big one. That D is a blemish that I need to make up. I need to do well on the exam and pratical.

Other news, I got "ill" so I bought a 2.5 lbs bag of Jelly Bellys (mostly tutti fruitti and pear) and a 1 gal. jug of lemon iced tea. 3/4 done on both and now I really feel sick. Ah, to be a girl, haha. My mother is thinking I might have PCOS. She finds that sad. I say, she has two other kids. Let them have her grandkids. I have things to do, like big things.

This is very long now. It is my last post for...well, who can really say? After finals I need to prepare for Baltimore. Hopefully I can go north from there, if not, then I come back and probably get a job. Then hopefully after that I can get to NY, but if not then I just work more and then to OZ! If they let us in, stupid swine flu.

Uh...random fact! I was a model when out in California. Striaght females are a minority in film school so I was in demand. Nothing stranger than pretending you are deeply in love with a gay guy. XD

Don't Burn Yourself...
...The tea is hot.

Woohoo, my blood is on fire! You have no idea how long I've been observing this, and now it's here. Tea, tea, everywhere. I skipped my second class today because I wanted to go to a Tea Party, but then I decided not to go. I don't really need to and the last thing I wanted was to go to the wrong party.

Here is a fact about me: I am a patriot. I love my country. I am registered as an Independent, but in all truth I am and Anarchist and have been since I was 14, maybe even younger.

I'm not one of those wannabe Anarchists that yell and scream and are hateful and angry about everything. I am a practical and intelligent Anarchist. I don't run around and break laws...except the speeding law. I don't pay taxes because I don't have money that is taxable. I disagree with most government, but I understand why it is there. My role is more like this:

When your government oversteps its bounds, the limits, when it is devoid of reason, you have to fight back. That is your duty as a human being. Don't tread on me. Sound familiar?

For years our government has started to abandon the things that made it the best government in the world. I saw this when I was a little kid. I knew that there would be a time when we would be forced to revert to the colonial ways.

I waited as we let an impeached President stay in office just because his term was nearly up. I waited as we were attacked. I waited as our President grew into a weak fool who rolled over on his own ideas. I waited as we went to war. I waited as our economy fell. I waited as the little values we held dear started to slip away.

People are angry. People are protesting as they did in the colonial times. My government, I know you want to do what you feel is right but you are wrong. You have been wrong for a very long time. The entire lot of you is out of touch with humanity. You classify and brand anyone who disagrees with you as a right-winged radical or a left-winged whack job. I say, don't tread on us.

It has nothing to do with Democrat or Republican. It is people. It has nothing to do with who the President is. The President is the figurehead, Congress runs the show. People are angry and I say to you politicians; stop classifying us and passing us off as crazy or radical. Without the people there is no country, how about some respect?

Don't tread on me! You are no better than me. A title of Senator, Governor, Congressman, Judge, or President does not make you better than me. It does not make you better than anyone.

A government for the people that is not doing the work of the people. That is what we are becoming. As a human being it is your duty to change that.

I will take leave now. The people have spoken, what is your response government? I will sit here with my cup of Earl Grey and wait with open ears and an optimistic heart.

Question mark mood= tired, hungry, dirty [from dirt you nasty people ;)], sore [from carrying the freaking dirt around]

Anyone play any April Fools jokes? Tell, I love the jokes. I'm a brat by nature. I got a ton of Chem homework this weekend but I think it's easy so I should be around. I will comment on sites!

Q: You aren't able to eat meat on fridays? ~ Shocked ~ Is your family really religious, liek where you have to have fish instead on Fridays and rest on Sundays? / Wait what? Can you not eat meat on friday????
A: Technically I'm Roman Catholic. I was never conformed so I'm not considered a "real" Catholic. But I'll do conformation when I get back from Australia. Then I get my second middle name. Which is pretty much the whole reason I'm not eating meat on Fridays during Lent. I don't rest on Sundays. I do eat meat everyday all other times of the year. I don't go to church, or worship, or pray. And I'm at odds with the current Pope. I call him Pope Rasputin. Makes people kinda mad. Short answer, I'm Roman Catholic for the middle name and the churchs. Pretty churchs.

Q: Uhh...out of the places you've lived [it seems you travel a lot], where did you like the most?
A: This is the hardest question I have ever gotten on here. I always used to say Philly, but I'm not so hooked on the past anymore. Definately not Indiana, and as much as I hate New York and California, I did have a lot of fun.

Q: And I know you're still loyal to Philly's teams, so is that where you spent most of your life?
A: This requires a little math.
Pennsylvania: 7 years
New York: 3 years
Tennessee: 1 year
New York: 7 years
Indiana: 3 years
California: 2 months
...Oh right, I turn 21 in May. PA came in second. I spent most my life in NY and absolutely hated it. Here's an example: random boy from school I got along with- 'Do you want to go out sometime?' me at 13/14- 'Sorry, I don't date New Yorkers. You guys are sort of hicks.' Yeah, I was a jerk.

Q: What college are you going to go to if you do go to one?
A: Normally this is an out-of-bounds question, but I really don't think it's going to make a big difference. I got to the same university David Letterman went to; Ball State. I'm a sophomore but this is my first semester here ('cause I move when I get bored).

Q: What is/going to be your major?
A: Wildlife Biology.

Q: How come you never had faith in humans even before you went to the shelters?
A: I'm not really sure. Even as a really little kid I had a lack of faith in humanity. Part of that could come from having no strong role models. I had no one to look up to, not even fictional people. A lot of my anger as a teen probably came from that. I'm also extremely perceptive which does not help at all. One example I always give is I can tell if someone is a virgin or not just by meeting them. I don't know what changes, but something does. Imply that perceptive ability against anyone trying to hide something, and people are always hiding one thing no matter how small. So, a lack of humanity could've come from me as a little kid just feeling like something is off.

Q: Uhh and linking to that, how was your early time in school? Did you get bullied a lot?
A: Whew, this is going to be different to explain. Because of my moving my schools always changed. PA was very very early. I don't remember it too well, but I know I had a lot of fun. Grade school in NY, well things were backwards. In my examply I said I wouldn't date NY people. They're hicks but they were also extremely...uh, horny. And at a young age. I got there in 2nd and everyone was dating. I was more interested in pushing people off swings. Or running through swings. TN was just a dark spot and everyone in NY (I moved to the exact same spot) who knew me before TN and after said I came back different. It wasn't the kids, it was the faculty. I got detention. It was just a horrible year. Jr high in NY was lame. I went through experiances in TN and early in Jr high that made me look at things with cold rationale. Anger started kicking in, so going to the bullied section of the question, I was justice. Juvie kids roamed the halls and preyed on the ugly little freaks I went to school with. So, they started highering me to fight for them. Truthfully, I never had to fight anyone. People were scared of me. I have no idea why because I'm a very thin not tall girl.

Q: So you have an interesting last name then, is it from one of the nationalities that form your heritage?
A: Yes, it's Polish but no one ever thinks that when they see it. I've gotten Czech, Russian, and Ukrainian, but never Polish. I might not be common there either, but since I haven't been to Poland I don't know.

Q: Have you ever wanted to change your name?
A: Yes, whenever things in my family, in my clans, got bad I used to dream of changing my and leaving them all. But now that I'm older I'm wiser. I will just repair the damage in the clans and start up my own (but keep all my names).

Q: What is your favorite animal?
A: I like all types of dogs. Maned wolves are at the top. And African Wild Dogs. And of course wolves.

Alright! Now my fingers are saying no more. I think this is longer and darker than the last one.

Ask away!

Oh yeah, cute history guy and I talked a little. He smells good.

It's my stay-up-all-night/morning day. Even though I did that Friday too. Hoorah for 4AM.

The week is fast approaching! Yikes, and I have quizzes. I'll cheak myOtaku for updates when the sun comes up, but then it's another week of blargh from me. Blargh equalling nothing, haha.

Q: What is your favorite color?
A: I usually say blue since I like most if not all the shades. I really like red, but not washed out shades of it. And I like green, mostly darker but I am very fond of jungle green, or cool mint green.

Q: Are you one of my otaku freinds who speaks japanese? and if so how much?
A: No, I don't speak Japanese. I know a few words and can recognize even fewer characters, but that's just from being around people who can speak/read/write it. I can usually understand enough to know what a person is saying but that's only if they're speaking it directly to me. I know a lot more about the customs and stuff then actual language.

Q: What's your favorite thing about easter?!?!?
A: Being able to eat meat on Fridays again. And Cadbury creme eggs.

Q: What does your mind tend to think about when it is racing and you are trying to sleep?
A: Usually there is so much going on in there at once I can't keep it straight. Things that break through are either things that have occured at some point in my life, which then I comb through every detail of it from as many angles as possible, even think up of alternate thing that could've been said or done. Or they turn into really strange dreams. My entire Mirror Image saga is nothing more than a serise of dreams I had since I was a little kid.

Q: Are the thoughts generally better or worse than the ones you have when you are thinking throughout the day?
A: My thoughts are much worse and more intense at night. My preception ability is almost scary. All day I absorb, all night it tries sorting out. It's cool if I can control it. My insomnia spells are a result of when I don't have any outlet. They're much better now.

Q: Did you ever start to lose faith in people for the way they treated their animals, or did the people you know keep you from getting too downhearted at it all?
A: Sadly, I don't think I ever had faith in humans. Most of the time I still don't, but I just shrug it off. Seeing the neglect just made it worse. And the people around me, the ones I worked with, made it even worse. These people were insane animal lovers. I'm talking downright crazy. I would never ever leave an animal, or human child, alone with a single one of them. I recieved one litter of kittens that the "saint" of the shelter had actually taken away from the mother right after birth and hid for two days so the mom wouldn't recognize them. So, the kittens were found later and given to me. Of course they died since they never got to eat. And that made my hate and lack of faith worse. Not all people are bad, and I am so grateful for that every single day. But people can still be good and not have my faith.

Q: Nevada? Cool. Like the state? Do you have a calendar with words on it or something?
A: Yes, like the state. I got excited because one of my characters I've had forever is named Nevada. I don't have a name calander. I've been reduced to using a babyname website and they have a name of the day feature. I own a babyname book, which was mortifying to buy as a younger teenager, but that's in New York with The Unsaid Works being put to use for Epic.

Q: How long will you be gone for again?
A: Three months, maybe a little more because of the nine days in New Zealand.

Q: How old is your dog?
A: The dog in question (get it, question, haha) is twelve. He's a big dog so they don't live as long. I only worry now and not in a year or two because his sister was put to sleep last summer. She had bone cancer. He has arthritis but you really wouldn't be able to tell the difference until the really severe symptoms kicked in.

Q: How come you don't have people call you by your real name, don't you like it much?
A: I like my name, it's just long and formal. I use it when signing anything that asks for a signature, or on scantron tests. But it's eight letters and my legal last name is nine. It takes up a lot of space.

Q: So when you're at school and you're being introduced or on the attendance sheet, uh, does it have your real name or not?
A: My first name is on the rosters. My last name allows me to know exactly when I'll be called so I'm always ready. I let them say my first name, because it is a good name, but then stop them during the last name. No one says it right. :/ After the prof practices my last name once or twice I tell them to call me Siri, so then I have to spell that for them. By that time no one remembers my first name.

Yikes, that was a lot. That's okay though, I'm not the one reading it. XD Good morning/night. I'm so tired.

Keep 'em coming! If you have them, ask them. Same guide as previous post.

Question mark mood: my fingers are frozen :/, sleepy, annoyed that my stupid song keeps pausing!

OMG! The name of the day is Nevada! [and people have no idea what I'm talking about]
Nevada -snow, covered in snow

And Dranz had questions so I'll answer now (why I'm posting). I'm going to try to do really short posts that answer questions or something for awhile since I don't get on a lot. I wasn't going today, but the name site called to mean (joking).

Q: Is your first name really Sinny?
A: No, but it does start with the same letter. The only person how uses my real first name is my grandmother. Right now I'm more commonly known as Siri (not my real name either).

Q: Do you have any like habits or neuroses?
A: Habits...hm, I must have some. I watch the Simpsons every Sunday usually, so I guess that's a habit. And neuroses.... I seem to have OCD when I play Fable II. Or I guess my character has OCD. I have a racing mind that causes a lot of my insomnia. I guess that counts.

Q: What will you miss the most about home when you are in Australia?
A: My dogs and cat, easily. I can probably get a hold of the internet for personal needs, so I can shoot people and e-mail or a comment. But my cat and dogs aren't able to communicate that way. I'm just hoping my one dog doesn't die while I'm gone. He's pretty old.

Q: What is the worst experience you have come had?
A: I know you said to disregard this one but the cancer thing I don't believe was the worst thing to happen. It wasn't fun, but I would've gotten through it because I would've had no alternative. I'm having some trouble finding a the worst experiance. I have had many bad ones, but with the bad comes the good. One example would be this job I had raising sick orphaned and abandoned kittens. I saw more death and deciet in three years than many small town vets see in ten years of practice. But the ones I got healthy went on to make people happy. Another would be this car accident me and my friends helped out on last summer. We saw an 18 year old boy lose both parents but we also saw the good of humans. And we went to a really awesome rock concert that night. ...And we went to a wedding reception moments after the crash (we were on our way there when it happened). Weirdest day of my life to date.

Thanks for the questions, Dranz.

Keep 'em coming. I have nothing else to do really.

Ask and I will answer. I'll answer anything as long as you're not asking:
1.) my full name (my last name is rare)
2.) anything relating to numbers or addresses
3.) names of family members (stick to me)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Thanks for the comments Kelsey, Dranz, and Talim. Kelsey, I like your new icon. Pretty colors. Yes, I'm going to Australia! Yays! Dranz, my fingers will recover and if not I have another hand. What I do for entertainment, haha. Talim, my poor camera was murdered in my bedroom. It didn't stand a chance.

I'm just posting because I'm seriously procrastinating on my Chem homework. It's always Chem. I didn't finish my lab write-up so I have to get that done before 11:00 so Dylan and I can compare. I didn't even realise we were in the same lecture. I got to show off my reflexes in lab. No broken beaker from us.

I'm signed up fo my classes. So they are:
NREM 299X: Environmental Issues in Australia and the South Pacific
ANTH 101: Australian Life & Culture
BIO 420: Marine Biology
BIO 420A: Wildlife Biology

The bottom two are the only ones I wanted to take. We get to go camping with kangroos and scuba diving in the reef. I had to take the ANTH. I already took ANTH but this should still be cool. And NREM I figure will be easy. Oh, we're going during whale migrations. YES!

Okay, I do need to do my homework. It felt like it clicked some time in the middle of lab, so it won't be too bad. I just don't like homework.

Alright, since I don't get on much and I probably will get on even less this summer, and then even less or not at all when I'm away (wow, subtraction much) I thought it's only fair you get to bombard me with questions. I feel like I know bits of your lives but that I don't say anything in return. Really, what do you know? I'm a female college student who writes story/script and doesn't stay put. [The Pied Piper is the fiery wind!]

Ask and I will answer. I'll answer anything as long as you're not asking:
1.) my full name (my last name is rare)
2.) anything relating to numbers or addresses
3.) names of family members (stick to me)

There you go. Go nuts.

Yes, I do love Smashing Pumpkins. And Goo Goo Dolls. Boston. Asia. Journy. The Offspring. Nirvana. Bon Jovi. Van Halen. Just rock in general.
