So, right while I'm rating a bit, my monitor decides to go dark...it figures.
I can still see stuff, but not very well.
Watching the 1979 version of 'Dracula' while browsing through journals...
COMMENTS
Love old horror movies. Is it a Christopher Lee film??
No - it's the Frank Langella one.
(A sexier vampire than Mr Lee - lol)!
Oh. hahaha i watched that a couple nights ago on showtime. It was good! and Mr Lee Rules!!!!!!! LOL. :)
I've never seen that one. I wanted to. :)
Usually, it takes a lot to get me riled up - I am usually mild-mannered...up to a point.
I want to strangle the 'tard upstairs, as he won't stop running and kicking walls, while shouting 'Dah dah dah' the whole time.
When I take my broom handle to the ceiling to let them know that they are being too noisy, I sometimes get more thumping and bumping - on purpose...from the parent.
I hate some of our species. I will probably laugh if the 'mom' falls over the banister one day.
So - not only am I not being politically correct with my use of the word 'tard' but I'm a meanie as well.
Sue me.

Sucks being the one downstairs. Some people are just so thoughtless and rude. Why I will never live in an apartment ever ...
Pandora, I know!
This is only the 3rd apartment I've lived in. All of my previous rentals have been flats or houses.
Here's what I do when this happens, and it works like a charm if you have a security intercom system in the apartment building. Go down to the lobby, buzz the offending apartment, and when someone answers, say with your best authority voice: THIS IS THE POLICE, WE ARE RESPONDING TO THE NOISE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS APARTMENT.
The noise will cease almost immediately.
Oh noooooo. *cringes*
I had a lot of trouble with the tennants who lived above my in my old condo. They had three small children and they always got out of hand late at night. The worst part was they were those hippie type parents that didn't believe in telling a child 'no'.
They would try and reason with the kids and that just...NEVER worked. One night, me and my roommates did the same thing with a broom handle and the parents started stomping and we could hear some choice words being yelled at us. I lost my cool, marched upstairs and banged on the door. They wouldn't answer. I banged and banged for 5 mins and still, they were too chicken shit to open the door....so I screamed at their door to control their damned kids at night because they sounded like baby elephants. I also screamed at them through the door that I would call the managers the next day.
We never had problems after that. They avoided me like the plauge. :P
is a hunk of molasses-slow plastic wired shit.
So, I found out that my rent is going up in April. $35 more if I renew it for another year, and $65 more if I choose the month-to-month option.
Gee...guess which one my broke ass is gonna' pick?
It's not like I can just up and leave...to a better apartment anyway.
The Man just keep reaching into my threadbare pockets, dammit.
COMMENTS
And reaching and reaching.
That's just wrong during these economic times. :(
Animal behaviorists still can't explain why cats will suddenly start running all over the place at breakneck speed.
They jump and leap onto high places, dart about everywhere, while sometimes meowing...or howling.
It's fun to watch. I don't know why cats do this freaky thing either, but I call it 'The Kitty Crazies'.
COMMENTS
We call it "Playing Zoom Zoom". It's their favorite game, you know.
That's also one of my favorite things to watch :)
It usually happens around here when one of them takes a healthy bathroom.
But randomly it happens too. I like the wide eyes and the puffed tail!!
LMAO! It's Crazy alright!!
Heh, my puppies do that now :p I think they are confused. No wonder my cat is so disgusted with them.
My cat does it when he is moody...we stay clear of him.
One of my four does that a lot! LOL I try not to laugh, so I do not interrupt him, but it is hard not to...
I think the faeries might be fucking with them, to be honest. I notice they start staring at one ... particular point ... about an inch in front of their poor faces, and then KAWHANGA! Off they go!
LMAO. I love it when they do that.
I had a 20lb cat that burned out and ate it big time into the hallway wall lmao. He knocked his own head so hard that he walked back over to my side winking for about 15 mins lol.
You know in my house it's a stampede and I end up dancing in one spot with my hot coffee in hand as the little bodies zip past my feet, sometimes followed by the dogs.
My computer is being a dick...in every negative way.
I need a new one. A new toy to replace this piece of shit.
I want to say hello to a few folks here, but it takes forever to do anything.
I should just go to bed now.
End rant.
I got some crappy negative financial info today...I am really pissed off.
Even though I got it last year, the EDD is denying my claim...WTF? I am appealing, but I need money NOW. Why do they fuck with people when they know so many of us are desperate? I won't get a regular paycheck until the end of February! Dammit!
But - I gotta' keep on forging ahead...as far as I can go, anyway.
Fuck.
COMMENTS
Keep forging ahead Isis. Something has got to give. At least it's what I keep telling myself.
They did that to my roommate. I am so so soooooooooo sorry to hear this. :(
*big hugs*
Chomping at the bit for the SF - NY game.
I hope that my Niners win, to go on to the Superbowl!
COMMENTS
good luck isis.!!! :)
~fist bump~
Well - they lost. Due to a dumb-assed fumble too.
But - it was a good game overall.
Maybe next season...
Aaaaw - fuck it. Why the hell am I hiding my age?
I'm old enough to be a mom to folks in their late 20's. I could be a grandma. So there.
COMMENTS
It would surprise you how many guys n girls in their 40s and older are actually here in Vampire Rave. It's what age in your heart that you that counts x
Then I must be perpetually 25 years of age...lol
And our Birthday is coming up ;)
I haven't been here in almost two days, so thanks to those of you who left me honor during my mini hiatus.
There are many of us here who actually do believe that it is better to give than to receive...case in point:
One member here was kind enough to give me ALL of her honor from ALL of her accounts in one day...over 200 honor points.
She knows who she is, as I have already thanked her and ribbed her about it already - lol!
And now...it is my turn to give out some honor some more!
This is fun!
COMMENTS
We missed your witty journal too :)
Great to have you back.
Well... doing what you did, in life, is worth honor. Congrats again. Your new job will help so many in need. And I know you will keep them safe.
I kinda' feel like shit today.
No energy...with a dull stomach pain.
Yipee.
Tomorrow is the first day back at work - finally.
And I'll have to make some more phone calls regarding money...uh.
I guess I'll watch a couple of movies On Demand and veg out for the rest of the day/night.
COMMENTS
I love on demand!! :)
Take it easy and get well soon...
Get well soon Isis.
Hope you enjoy your veg, and work wasn't that bad!
I hope that you feel better. *hugs*
Gee.
Thanks for stretching out a journal page.
Dumbass.
He's spent the last decade or two spreading the word about an intergalactic conspiracy revolving around "12 Galaxies".
COMMENTS
o.0
:) i like him!!!
Yeah...this guy...what can you say?
I love some of his made-up words, like 'rocketronics'
for one. He just goes on and on about conspiracies, mainly presidents - dead and alive - who all join forces to conduct mind control of the masses with ESP, the 12 Galaxies, etc...
When I lived in San Fran, I saw him a lot, marching up and down Market Street mumbling to himself.
O M G!
Lol...wow!
My beloved City by the Bay...considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Every ethnicity and belief is here. The cuisine is also international, with an emphasis on Chinese, Italian, Californian, and Mexican. The weather is a combination of Mediterranean warmth and Pacific Northwest cool.
A liberal, open city...also known for its quirkiness.
San Francisco is probably the only city in the country that has a newly elected sheriff of Iranian-Russian Jewish descent who just got charged with domestic battery...and a local looney who has a Wikipedia entry.

The City by the Bay - is sometimes cray cray.
Go Niners.
A normal winter here: Rain, with temps in the 50's range, with nights in the 40's.
This winter: There is no winter. There wasn't even a proper autumn, as many of the leaves are just now falling. The days are warm - in the 70's. I was out 2 - 3 days ago, and all I wore were light-weight sweat pants and a t-shirt.
The nights, however...have been extremely cold
(for here), dropping to the low 30's. Tonight, it may go as far as 22 in some of the local areas.
???
COMMENTS
We have had the same problem here.
Hmmm.
It's rainy here suddenly. Cold. Ewww.
OMG - I just watched the movie 'Ticked Off Trannies With Knives' and I couldn't stop laughing.
And I gotta' say...the main Trannie - Bubbles - had legs to die for!
COMMENTS
Ticked of Trannies with Knives ...
Oh, my. Where did you FIND this?
O.o I'll have to see if this is on netflix.
I like reading journals here...mainly items that I find interesting, informative, and funny.
But sometimes - I like reading some of the psycho drama present. It's like looking at a bloody car wreck through one's fingers...you know it's gonna' be bad, yet you look anyway.
It's extremely rare if I leave a comment in those journals...no need to join in on the crap.
When I come up for air, I'm sometimes drained of energy...lol. I also realize that one of the reasons why I enjoy VR is because I don't have any drama here. I still like not being one of the more popular kids on the playground. Being incognito is the way to go!
(Well - that and keeping my mouth shut).
In my semi-humble opinion, honor should be earned.
Since asking/begging/demanding honor is the pinnacle of tackiness, those who do so should be 'dishonored'...or ignored.
I received my pharmacy technician certificate in the mail yesterday...yaaah!
It looks pretty snazzy too. Now, to check out and join a few pharmacy associations...
I still need to be state certified and take the state exam though...in time.
COMMENTS
congrats!!! :)
Hooray!! *toots horn and throws confetti, panties, cheerios, anything that comes to hand*
Congrats girl!!! I am so excited for you!!!! You will do fine on the state exam. Half of it is getting over the nervous part. *hugs*
Hurrah!!
Yay!
Very cool!
AWESOME!!!
I know how hard you worked for that.You kick butt!
Whoohoo!! Congrats!
WOOHOOOOO!!!!!
Congrats!! :D Way to go!!
Awesome awesome awesome!
Talk about being a couch/bed potato. From yesterday afternoon to late night/early this morning - 4am - I watched the entire first season - 13 episodes - of Spartacus. Love it!
(I really got a kick out of the last episode when the gladiators and other slaves went on bloody rampage - a good ol' fashion slave revolt. Killed all of the rich and powerful that were present...and they all had it comin'. LOL).
COMMENTS
lol...don't get any ideas Isis
Dude...if I was alive here in the US during the early 19th century when the Nat Turner and other slave revolts happened, I'd be right in the middle of that shit!
We saw them, great show!
haha Isis, you are so funny but then, a part of me, sooo understands what you mean.
Great show. :)
I never thought that I'd say this, but I think I need a sugar daddy.
(Itching and having dry heaves as I reflect on this)...
COMMENTS
The only ones I know are fat and bald! Does it matter?
Perish the thought!!! and bury it at sea!
What about one of those fine ass priests you always post about?
;)
As a general rule, priests don't have $$$
...she is so sweet. She just gave me a big fat chunk o' honor. Thanks, sweetie!
A returning friend here gave me all of his honor today.
Knowing him, he wouldn't want me to state who he is...in any case, he deserves hugs and some honor from me tomorrow!
Speaking of honor - again - I think that it would be cool to take honor from people you like if/when they happen to act like assholes on occasion, ie be dishonorable...just to let them know that you still love them, but they need to get their heads from their asses, ya' know? Tough love. You can always give them some honor back later on.
Plus...the honor system here is just another piece of the popularity pie.
...If you are going to take a third of a bottle of magnesium citrate, stay home.
COMMENTS
I always just drank the whole thing followed by some Gatorade or Pedialite. Yeah.
It must have been miserable.
Actually, I feel much better. Besides cleaning me out a lil', it also stopped the awful stomach pains I get off and on.
I wish that I had more Honor to give out...but, tomorrow is another day!
I have an insatiable urge for Cheetos...nevermind that I don't eat stuff like that...much.
Thank God that I don't have any - lol!
While I've been sharing the honor among friends here, I've also given it to random people that I don't know...usually it's someone who has written something in their journal that I like. Also - they are people who are relatively new, and/or don't have many friends or honor. There is something in their 'spirit' that makes me give honor to them.
I'm not doing this to get honor back, get a high rating, etc. I just think that these random folks deserve it. That's all.
While on my way home from an errand, I came upon a beautiful gray pitbull racing about in the street. He kept going from one side of the street to the other. He almost got hit once. I noticed that the dog had a heavy length of chain wrapped around his neck...an obvious hint of dog fighting training. He came right up to me, looked and sniffed a bit, then kept on running. He was enjoying his freedom. I was hoping that he'd get it.
When his dumbfuck owner came out for him, yelling 'Sancho!' the dog was a block away.
Me: Is that your dog? He almost got hit!
Dumbfuck: Yeah - stupid dog.
Me: Dogs aren't stupid. They just need good training and affection.
Dumbfuck looked at me like I was from another planet. I just shook my head and kept on going, thinking that another of God's creatures would end up suffering for profit and a man's teeny dick.
My response in the thread:
God?

I often wonder...
And in my wondering, I sometimes become angry. To me, there is no logical reasoning for unjust suffering of any kind. Why do we need to suffer and go through hell before we 'see the light' and get redemption?
The very fact that there are child molesters, serial killers, wars, etc makes me wonder if there is a 'just loving god'. If he/she is around, he/she needs to get back to us and take care of business, instead of being an absentee landlord.
My three cents.
Bummed. Even though I had a great conversation with the manager, the college's bookstore isn't hiring any temps (It's dead with the three on staff right now, and their first day of operation is the same as mine, when I go back to my cashier job).
So - gotta' keep on looking, although there is nothing out there.
Waiting for my pharmacy technician certificate too. I still need to register with the state, and take the state exam, but how the hell can I do anything without money? Like I had explained to my vocational counselor with the program that paid for my studies...'How am I suppose to pay for the stuff, then get reimbursed by you - when I have no money to begin with?' Duh!
I love this show. I have a crush on the Grimm Guy...um...kid:
COMMENTS
love the show myself...The second pic though makes him look like the guy who played the new superman in Superman Returns...
LOL...I thought of Superman too!
(The second pic is from the show)
Can I has?
I love it too!!
So - I'm perusing various journals, and witness all of the drama unfolding regarding honor.
It figures.
COMMENTS
Heh.
I like the Honor thing.
It's cute. You can leave people little messages along with it.
YAY FOR DUCKY NOT HAVING DRAMA!
;p
Agreed!
Bound to be some of that :(
1,000 Ways to Die is having an all-day marathon on Spike TV...it's funny and gross at the same time.
Love it!
COMMENTS
i love that show. i mean really, its awesome.
My fav is the home boy with the jealous streak....ended up getting a crucial screw in his head lmao
I'm finally checking my profile and port as I haven't been here in awhile, and I noticed that right under my avatar pic in the port are two items that say 'honor' and 'give/take'...???
I browse through the VR manual, and can't find out what this shit is.
Can anyone tell me what's up? Thanks.
COMMENTS
I saw it too, no idea as of yet but I'm sure Cancer will clue us in when he is finished :)
Okay...I just saw the thread in the main forum regarding this...
I get it...sort of.
I haven't been here much either. I noticed the honor and still havent used it.
I should get on that lol.
So - the gunfire started around 10:45 last night. Isn't this dumb shit suppose to happen at midnight, to bring in the New Year? I guess not...some wanted to jump-start the clock, I guess.
I hate this 'tradition'.
I heard a shot that sounded like a cannon, rapid-fire automatic weapons, and a whole lot of regular ol' guns. Except for my oldest cat, the others hid under the bed for about two hours. Poor kitties!
Well - at least I haven't heard of anyone in this area getting hit with a stray bullet so far.
Happy New Year.
COMMENTS
I hope the absence of casualties is a good omen for the year.
I suppose they really don't care who the bullets may kill when then come down. Just stupid!
