this house is not a home

ahhhhh. all of my co-workers keep talking about renovations they're doing to their house and all of the other pet projects they have going on. i personally hate renovation projects. i think they're worthless acts of vanity. lol. okay. i'm being harsh. i never understood the idea of fixer-uppers though. but whatever. each person has their own prefernces. but i am into personalizing and customizing and organizing. i love creating personal, creative, and efficient spaces.

i wish i had the time to get my house organized...and personlized. it's still so generic and void of personality....

sigh. oh well. i live in WoW anyhow...and my home is Ironforge. guess my house will have to wait a couple more months before it can begin to become a home

singing rat disappoints

went to ren's birthday party last night at chuckecheese. wow. the place needs some re-branding. i have to say that i was pretty disappointed. the entertainment was so sub-par. and the uniforms? hello. the servers/crew were wearing what looked like scrubs for nurses. pizza was decent. we got half supreme and half canadian bacon and pineapple.

what was funny was the songs the "animatronics" performed sounded exactly like porn music. disturbing really.

when i was a kid, the chuckecheese band stage was elevated and there was a moue hole you could crawl into underneath it. in the mouse hole was a whole playground which you exited into the main lobby. there was also a separate room that was smaller which had a stage where an elvis rat strutted his stuff in that white polyester suit.

i did score big at skeeball. i hit two 100,000 holes in a row! this little kid came and started taking the tickets that were coming out of the machine. her mom was like "don't take those tickets! they're not yours!" and i was like "you can have them! i don't need them." hehehe. my days of picking out plastic prizes are over. :)

hopefully ren will hook me up with some of the pictures we took with his cam.

early morning, unhappy girl

tonight i'm going out to chuckecheese to celebrate ren's 22nd bday. Should be interesting. i haven't been to a chuckecheese in about 15 years. hehe. the one in my hometown shut down when i was like 10 or something. i wonder if they still have the singing elvis-rat character. i loved that guy.

i have a meeting this morning with the owners of the project i'm working on. we have to go sell our "interiors" scheme to them. i had to get up early this morning because of it. but the funny thing is that it's like 8:50 in the morning and no on is at the office. hahaha.

since i come into work late all the time (9:30am) i never know when people show up to the office. it's good to know that peeps don't start showing up until 9 or so.

....

hahaha. my boss just came driving up and jumped out of his car. his door is still open and his car is sitting in the middle of the drive thorough fair. he came to my desk and was like "we have a meting at 9!?" and i was like "9:30" and he goes "oh! so i'm not late!?" ...

typical crazyness that goes on around here. i have a feeling he's going to call me into his office soon to review the scheme.

damn. the day started too soon.

WoW is my life

Nothing wrong with that eh? Yeah well. I did something which really confirmed my addiction to WoW. I started a WoW diary on my website. hehehe. good god. well, i figure i have nothing much to say about my "other" life so I'd give my WoW Diary a spin.




oh. i do have one thing to report about my "other" life. i got a raise! whoop!
hmmm. now what to spend my money on... i know! a mount! lol. nevermind... yet another World of Warcraft reference. must stop!

Happy Birthday Ren!

well. another successfully unsuccessful weekend.
got to level 35 with my alt character (human mage). once again neglected the clothes that need to be hung and folded.

managed to remember to feed the dog and cat...and myself :)

finally uploaded my website reconstruction. interface sucks but content is more up to date. i'm trying to find a really good way to set up photo albums without using stuff like ophoto and snapfish. those types of sites are good for sharing photos but the user has to sign up as well..which is poop.

Going to head to bed now and dread tomorrow. I have a dentist appointment at 10am. I HATE dentists.. Although my dentist is the best in Austin, it's still a place of horror for me. hehe. any place where you subject yourself to a tiny room with sharp objects which get played with in your mouth sounds like a nightmare to me.

anyhoo.

Happy Birthday Ren!!


What are you now? 16? hehehe.

eternal sunshine

jeremy was right. i shouldn't have taken a nap when i got home this evening. i was just so tired and couldn't be bothered with having to keep my eyes open. needless to say, i slept until 10pm and missed dinner. i also missed a full evening of WoW (world of warcraft). we have our alts to level 32 now. impressive considering the short time we've spent on them.

got online and chatted up with a internet buddy from cali. also spent some time on ventrillo talking to eric and akash.. actually more like listening to them argue about how to treat a woman. it's funny. they don't even ask me cuz it's like i'm not a girl to them... fine by me. like i know how a woman wants to be treated. every individual woman is an individual problem all to itself. this goes for guys too.

lately though, i have been having a really hard time focusing on anything. my whole life went through a complete re-org after my trip to thailand. i'm a little more blunt now. a lot more honest and far less patient with skirting around reality.

and the truth is that right now i'm having a hard time dealing with my loss of friends.
one in particular. you could say that i was burned a bit. not that i wasn't at fault either.
the problem is that i have a much higher definition of friendship than most people. for me, friends are everything. sex, boyfriends, girlfriends.. those things are just act of physical desire and needs. but friendship is where i get my emotional fix.

anyhow, i'm dealing with that now. listening to a lot of the sundays and wishing i could talk to someone about it. but my confidant is gone. go figure. i feel like i've been erased. you know, like that movie eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. the anger he felt when clementine erased him, that's how i feel. you fucking erased me you bastard. i wish i could erase you too.

me

You haunt me now like never before
And I want you gone from my thoughts
I want to be free of your grasp
Holding my heart crushing for crumbs
And my mind is so lost in
The memory of your last words to me
And the feeling of freedom
When I was your confidant

There's nothing to now
And the life I live now
So I have to get it out
This knowing and unknowing
And let the world know
That everything died
When you went away

As if a part of me will never
Quite be complete
And I owe you nothing
And you owe me nothing
We deserted each other
With equal space

How many words have
I written in my mind
Of hatred and love
A friendship torn
A sacrifice for love

It seems sweet
and yet I am completely enraged
That someone would
Sacrifice part of their soul
Obviously not their own
And settle for happiness

Quaint and delicious
I'm sure
Play pretend
And make like
We never existed

But I'm here
And you will always burn
In my memory
A sadness that scorches
The back of my mind
Forever


and that's the truth. something i would never admit before... but now i don't really see a point in pretending.

where in the world is ren?

so i'm staring at your picture. wanting to go dancing. wanting someone to call on my way home and talk about the futility of life. needing your optimism to drown my growing pessimism.

goddamn it ren. will you quit dicking around in europe and come back to austin?
please hurry home! i miss you like crazy!

by the way, i've been reading your post and you need to stop drinking the water over there. it's making you do some crazy things. :D
