A couple years ago Jon and I were discussing the things that made us jealous beyond belief as children. He was jealous of the other kids that were able to go onto carnival rides (he gets nauseous easily, the big baby) and I was jealous of how everyone seemed to have personalized items; everyone, but me. Like, when I was a kid, I would get upset that I never saw the name 'Joli' on the little vanity license plates for bikes or on cups/toothbrushes/etc.

The other day was our 8 year anniversary... He gave me a mug he made with my name on it. The card read 'Happy Anniversary, this one is yours'. It was one of the most thoughtful gifts I have ever received and it was kitchenware. XD

D: I forgot my pw into Neopets.

Edit: Found now! XD

Also, True Blood is coming to Orlando for a convention... I think I will go. ^^

Happy belated birthday to dacro!!! *hugs* I hope it was wonderful, doll! XD

Just saw the New Moon trailer… I haven’t read the books, but from what I got out of the trailer is pretty damn emo. Her boyfriend breaks up with her, so she jumps off a cliff. What type of message does that send preteens? Your BF or GF breaks up with you, go kill yourself. Yet another reason Twilight sucks.

Omg, I have been drawing way too many of my Neopets lately. :V

Here's Qhasper, my Draik.

Here's Qlod, my Krawk.

And a BIG Happy Birthday goes out to Neville Longbottom and an early one for Harry Potter. *hugs*

So, I have some art updates. I’ve been pretty lazy about scanning in all my doodles and drawings; I think it has something to do with being in Tennessee? Probably. I’m also working on a picture book for Sydney’s Christmas present. I know, it’s very early, but it will be a story full of drawings created by me and hopefully *crosses fingers* I will be able to have it professionally printed and bound. I don’t plan to make it a real book, just something for her. I just don’t want it to look like scraps of paper stapled together. I’ll upload the images when they are finished. XD

Here’s another of my Neopets, Fruit_cake25.

And here is a doodle I colored with markers. It’s Robin. :B

And finally, my condolences go out to the family and friends of Billy Mays. :C

This man was a legend. His image, vocals, and dance moves were known across the world. He was a talented individual that many fans will miss. My heart goes out to his family, friends, and especially his children. I’m sorry that the media was so vicious and I’m sorry that many thought him a monster and freak. To me, MJ will always be a divine individual.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson.

Our economy is crashing. This is not an exaggeration and I don’t foresee it becoming any better with what Obama has been ‘promising’. First, this Anti-Smoking Bill that "approved a 62-cent a pack increase in the federal cigarette tax". I’m not a smoker and I personally feel ill when I’m around smoke, but increasing the cost of cigarettes will only harm our economy more so. Cigarettes are an addictive drug, but like all addictions, smoking can be overcome. If the American populace is faced with an ever increasing tax on a leisure item, do you really think that they will continue to buy at such outrageous prices? I don’t. Sure, some will, but the majority will kick the habit to save on money. My point is, by upping the cost, the Tobacco corporations are going to lose customers. In losing customers, they will begin to go under just like all the other main corporations in America. That’s even more Americans out of jobs. The ones that work at the factories and distribution facilities. The farmers that grow the crops. I for one would rather let America have their drug then have a larger poverty rate.

The same argument; Obama telling us to stop playing video games. When Americans listen, corporations go broke.

Tennessee is gorgeous right now, but man is it miserable. It is insane how many ticks have been pulled off of us and the dogs. We’ve been putting them all in this alcohol/soap water bottle to make a snow globe out of when we leave. The fields are finally dry; a good thing too, because now we can mow them and sell the hay. The chicken coop is nearly finished, which means we’ll get to have little chicks running around soon. :B

Neopets news:
I has me a Krawk AND Draik now; their names are Qlod and Qhasper. Burn in envy, all of you.

All I can think of is that Aberforth would *love* to wear this shirt.... lololol

I was scammed. :C

I bought a Green Draik MP for 10mil and I *had* it in my hands. Then some dude was all like, “Plz HALP, I’m on a quest and I’ll trade you my HTS for your Draik.” I’m a total sucker for helping others on Neo. u__u

Long story short, Neopets is full of different people. There are the rude jerks that scam and there are the sweet, kind users that give.

Thanks to an amazing user, I have me a Draik and I’m so thrilled!

Man, oh man, I am stoked. Not just stoked, but super stoked. Like, super super.

2009 SNARRY GAMES - Fortune Favours the Bold! Coming in August!

I know, I can hardly wait!! The list of participants this year has me bouncing on my toes. I have no clue which team to root for, so I’m just going to wave my Snarry banner and hoot/holler for both sides.

Also, as if this day couldn’t get any more amazing, I just made 5mil on Neopets. That’s right, guess whose getting another Draik; this guy, right here. n____n

Via hearts_erised.

I challenge everyone who sees this to post a gorgeous picture of Jared or Jensen (or both!) in your LJ today.

^Wut. Dirty is schmexy, mmkay?




FINALS ARE OVER for me. n______n

I saw THIS today and I cannot even begin to describe the gigantism in its size. I’ve no clue WHY it was in Florida or even how it got there, but I guarantee you that it was in fact a Grizzled Giant Squirrel and it near scared the piss out of me.

Jon and I were driving down the road, heading back from school, when I saw what I thought to be a light-brown cat running alongside the busy road. We pulled over and I walked back to save it; at the time, all I saw was a huge bushy tail. When I got closer, it turned and stared me down. This humongous squirrel perched not even 2 feet from the road and just stared me down. I have never seen a squirrel that was so big; its body alone was easily bigger than my new puppy. Still, I was not deterred; my goal was to save the animal from oncoming traffic. I threw a broken branch near the road to scare the blasted beast closer to the tree line. I honest to god meant it no harm but that thing took my actions as hostile. Have you ever seen how fast a squirrel can run? Now imagine that squirrel the size of a small Doberman. It literally flew at me and in my haste to GTFO, I ran right into the car Jon had been slowly reversing to my position. I did not know the car had been moved to right behind me.

After terrifying the bejubus out of me, the monster turned and squatted near the bottom of a nearby tree. That was close enough to the tree line for me. o_____o

Whoa, whoa hold up. Seriously? Where the heck have I been? Ok, under a rock or something, obviously. The President’s codename is Renegade?!?!?

Why the hell would he be given THAT as a codename? By Gods, the very definition of the word is so noticeably double-crossing.

I have a new puppy! She’s oh so cute. XD Jon and I picked her because of her resemblance to our other dogs, Capri and our beloved Jitter. Seriously, it looks like Capri and Jit got together and had this little girl that we’ve named Fable. Pictures of ( Jit, Capri, and Fable behind this cut. :B )
