The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I have about 2 minutes here. I have been so busy with everything, it's hard to think of what I need to do next, if I don't have it on my extensive and ever changing list.



But I was able to get a shower in after wrapping gifts, and am about to go to bed. I wanted to come here first and tell everyone Merry Christmas!



I love you guys and will see you when I get back from mom's. Leaving in about 8 hours....I haven't even packed. But I do smell like the Gingerbread spice from Bath and Body. ;)

...there are so many talented people here. So many artists, poets....it's great. I was copying my poetry to have printed and saw Dom's poems he let me post in my journal, and thought, "You know, there are so many artistic people gathered here.".

Wow, I updated my status and it shot up to Destroyer, 99%. For some reason, it seems to stick for the longest time and then bam, send you up a notch. I knew it did that, but it was stuck since March for me. Others that way too? I imagine so.



We got the car last weekend. Our friend Neil finally got the Honda finished and was able to hand it over to us. We need to pay him when we go home for Christmas. I can't wait for Christmas to be over. New Years too.....I can't wait for SPRING. I say that every year, as you know.



But the car is great. We love it and it's much zippier than the Buick. I finally got a Honda, that I have been wanting since 1985. Not THE Honda, but Honda, so....



Of course, we went and bought all sorts of cleaning products for cars, and need to vacuum it out. Armor-All'd it. I need to put in a kick ass stereo system, as it is stock, and even though the speakers are ok, they need an upgrade. There is only a cassette player in there. It's a 1997, so...It's a real pretty blue and greyish, cloth interior. Neils' dad put a dent in it one day before we got it. =( Knocked the left light loose, but it seems to be ok and not broken. Still, being a Virgo, it's hard for me to think it perfect now. *sigh* Still love it though. I have to have my BASS, so I will be harassing Danny about having a stereo put in after Christmas. THEN, it will be much closer to perfect for me. =)



I miss you guys. I need personal email addresses, though I have some. Some days I am too panicky to come on here. It was last December that I had some heavy issues going on and major panic attacks and it's been hanging over me these past few weeks. Comes back in waves. But I get pangs of missing out because I want to know what is going on in my friend's lives in here and myspace. grrrr....fucked either way, eh?

I have been gone the past week

Current mood: artistic





...but not out of town. Just not feeling like chatting much. Sometimes I just go awhile without wanting to talk, chat...and just be quiet. I do this often, so no need to take me off your friend list or think I have gone forever. I am just taking some me time.



Btw, Thanksgiving...well, I made it through. We will just say that. Mom is stable, though she was snowed in, from that blizzard a week ago, that plowed it's way through. We still have the snow from that, though the last few days have been great. If upper 50s for a low, with sunny skies would be the full extent of winter here, I would be happy. Well, content. ;) But I just saw that a 40 degree drop is to be here by tomorrow and I am pissed. *sigh*



I am getting ready to do some painting. Those that know me, know that I have to paint the inside of the house in the winter or I will go insane. I loathe winter and it makes me claustrophobic and anxious. So I have to occupy my time with some creative. My XM radio playing, and me painting. ;) I am also putting in new, brass door stops tonight.



Also, I am working on a rant...Yay, you are probably thinking, Oh goodie, another rant. haha...well, it's just shit that pops into my head and I am not the only one.

Andy Rooney said on "60 Minutes":



I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United Caucasian CollegeFund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens...

Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.





Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.



I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, that is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE?





I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.



When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling, it is the Law of Probability.

I



believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English!



My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours. I think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word "freeze" or "stop" in English, see the above lines.



I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business.



We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations.



I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.

I know pro-wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. That doesn't stop you from watching them.



I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better, and put your name on the building.



It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds when necessary, and say "NO!"



I think tattoos and piercings are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement.And, please, stay home until that new lip ring heals. I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me French fries!



I am sick of "Political Correctness." I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa; so how can they be "African-Americans"? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else.

And if you don't like my point of view, tough...

THEN DON'T PASS IT ON!!
