Not because I want to but because I have to. I've been super busy lately and am having alot of trouble keeping up with journals. I only want LJ friends with whom I regularly correspond with. I don't have people on my list just to make it bigger... I have people on my list because we enjoy reading and eachother's journals.

If I remove you it's because we really don't correspond. This isn't one of those cuts you can dispute becuase there will be no add backs on this one. To be 100% blunt, if you've been cut it's because I skip your entries. You probably skip mine too... it's ok. I skip you because I always read the entries of those I correspond with 1st, then there's no time for yours. I can't make the effort to find time to read your entries if I don't even know you, and those who've been cut, I barelt know you at all.

Again, I'm very sorry and it's not personal. We just don't read echother and we both know it.

:)

I'm cutting. Not because of anything personal. To be honest, I quite like everyone on my friends list. If I cut you it's merely because 1) you are never on LJ and I'm beginning to think you aren't using it anymore, or 2) we both post somewhat regularly, but never correspond with eachother.

If I remove you and you'd like me to re-add you, I'm going to leave this post public. PLEASE comment and I would add you back in a heartbeat.

I'm just trying to whittle this thing down a bit so I can be sure to keep up with regular commenting. I've been finding it a little difficult to be the faithful commenter I once was.

:)

I could write up a real update but I really don't have the energy. I gess nothing is 100% simple or 100% complicated, but all in all at the end of the day it's all satisfactory. I'm happy. Dammit... I'm ALWAYS happy!!! lol

Anyway. Moving on.

I'm going to do a Halloween pic post to try to do a bit of catching up on all of the pics I promised I'd post and never did due to my internet being gibbled. Did you see my road trip pics??? I love them.

Here it is... random Halloween pics:

This song REEKS of desperation, but it's still fun. lol

I went and got a costume today. I bought this... http://www.halloweenmart.com/wecs.php?store=halloweenmar&action=display&target=CC0815

I DON'T want to be some boring vampire, but thought I could do something different with it.

Any thoughts? Suggestions? Bueller? HELP?

A question:

What should I be for Halloween?

Gimme as many answers as you can come up with or even direct me to some cool websites. I need to figure this out sooner than later.

:)

... and does anyone want to animate my default icon (this one)?

I'd love to do it but I have no idea how to.

Takers?
PLEASE?

:)

Anyone have/know any good recipes for dips, hors d'oeuvres, or snacks?

I've designated myself as 'snack girl' for thanksgiving dinner this weekend and was hoping to do something different as I'm somewhat of a creature of habit when it comes to the things I make and cook (mind you, everything I make always yields many a compliment). I'd love to try some new recipes.

Let's try to keep this down in cost because I will be feeding ALOT of tummies and would like to make several things.

If you have recipes then feel free to post them. If you know any links to good websites that you've found useful in the past then I'd love that aswell. Basicly, anything you can post will help me out alot.

Thanks, folks.
:)

I had a blast... what can I say? I wrote a day-by-day trip journal in a book I brought with me so I plan on getting all of that written in here tomorrow and the next day. I warn you that it'll be really long so I won't be offended if you don't read it. It'll be alot of reading! lol

I feel so loved. I have a billion and one LJ comments, FB stuff and emails to respond to so I pretty much have my work cut out for me tonight. I just wanted to thank all of you that sent me warm wishes for my trip and tell you that it was a great experience. Eastern Canada is SO freakin BEAUTIFUL!!! I have pics to post and I'll do that soon aswell. This trip was so perfect. I couldn't have asked for more. Well, except to erase the one night we thought it was a good idea to camp in the rain (and I woke up from the tiny amount of sleep I DID get wet, sore, frozen and angry). Other than that, the weather was summerlike and my plans were flawlessly planned. Yay me! hehe

On another note...

I was thinking of going to Thailand (not sure if I mentioned it on here) when I found a really great eco-trip there for 4 days at the last minute. The only thing that stopped me from going was the fact that my passport didn't come in time. After the NYC idea fell through, we decided on an east coast road trip... until I found this package deal. We decided that it was a great opportunity and that it was going to happen 100% if my passport came, but it didn't.

It was just as well because there was a terrible plane crash on the day we were going to fly there, had we gone. I was bombarded with 'thank god you're alive' and 'I'm so glad you didn't get on that plane!' I was so close to being on that plane and I can thank the government for being late in sending my passport. If they had sent it on time, I could be dead right now. Isn't that scary!!! People @ work were even watching the news to see the names of the people recovered every day and watching for mine! I had one lady that looked like she was going to cry when she saw me and she just said... ' I have to hug you. I was SO scared that you were on that plane.'

Wow. I could have been on that plane SO easily. I wanted to be on that plane SO badly! My heart jumped in to my throat when I heard that. I had no idea that this had happened until I came in to work tonight. Just... wow. I'm counting my lucky stars.

That said, my thoughts and condolences go out to everyone who lost their life in that crash and all of those who loved them. What a horrible thing.

This whole thing has done nothing to help with my fear of flying. Will I ever get on an airplane? Hmm... well after finding out just how close I was to dying in one, probably not.

I am going to get my hair done this weekend and would like some ideas because I have no idea what to do. At this point I am going to walk in there and go "uh... do something and make it look good"... lol

What should I do to my hair? Give me advice on a cut, style, color, highlights, lowlights, ANYTHING!!! What would suit me?

I can go funky and a little crazy with work, but nothing too punky. I can't dye my whole head green or anything, but I could add streaks of color. I was thinking of adding some small purple highlights? Hmm... maybe red? I have no idea.

HELP!!!!!

If you find pics, even better if you post them. Or you could even link me to LJ communities or websites that could be of use to me.

Thanks, friends.
:)

Maybe I'm just weird but I think this song is hilariously wonderful. It's probably not supposed to be, but whatever. lol


Wake up with blood-shot eyes
Struggle to memorize
The way it felt between your thighs
Pleasure that made you cry
Feels so good to be bad
Not worth the aftermath, after that
After that
Try to get you back

I still don't have a reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you

Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a
difference to try
Yeah, So this is goodbye

God damn my spinning head
Decisions that made my bed
Now I must lay in it
And deal with things I left unsaid
I want to dive into you
Forget what you're going through
I get behind, make your move
Forget about the truth

I still don't have a reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you

Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even
makes a difference,
It even makes a difference to try
And it's over, hurt the feeling
But I don't believe
it's true anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a
difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye

I've been here before, one day a week
And it won't hurt anymore
You caught me in a lie
I have no alibi
The words you say don't have meaning

'Cause
I still don't have a reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you
and so this is goodbye

Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even
makes a difference,
It even makes a difference to try

And it's over, hurt the feeling
But I don't believe
it's true anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a
difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye

(Oh No)
So This Is Goodbye
(Oh No)
Yeah, So This Is Goodbye
(Oh No)
Yeah, So This Is Goodbye

I just found out that Gabe has been selected by the Boys & Girls Club to be a mentor!!!

Apparently for an hour/week for 4 weeks, the Boys & Girls Club will be doing a program for ill behaved children at Gabe's daycare and they've selected him to help out with the workshop. He has been selected to help out with a group of 8 kids and will be acting as an example of good behavior. He'll be assisting in teaching them how to behave. All I have to do is sign a permission form that will be sent home with him today and then my little guy will be a mentor! Can you believe it? MY GABE!!! Awww... I am SO proud of kiddo right now I'm beaming!

I just talked to the lady that runs Gabe's daycare and she said that Gabe is one of the most well behaved and polite kids in the center... he shares, he waits his turn, he says "please" and "thank-you", he puts up his hand, and is just all around sweet and polite.

(If only they knew that Gabe *I* knew... lol)

I'm so proud.
:D

What genre would you catagorize this band in?

http://www.bittersweetmusic.com/

I was trying to describe it to someone and I had NO IDEA, all I could do was compare them to some other bands that sound similar.

I love this band.
They makes me shake my ass with a smile, and how fantastic is that?

Why Not? :)
