The Girl With The Eyes

sat through nearly three hours of a really terribly done performance of Les Misérables tonight ... and my sister was hardly in it

unprompted both of my sisters told me I have Justin Bieber hair ... seriously, why!

You know today was a really nice day - been a while since I've had one of those.

Mom and I went out this morning and did some shopping and then went to lunch together before doing a bit more shopping, where I got a fabulous deal on some canvas for christmas gifts - now I just have to figure out what I'll be painting.

My brother came over this evening and we were going through boxes in the garage with my mom, yes our garage is still full of boxes even after a year of living here. Though I did manage to uncover yet another box of books, and even some of my paints - which should come in handy for the painting I'll be doing over the next few weeks.

But yeah, nothing to exciting or special happened today, but it was just nice.

BTW have you filled out my Christmas Card Poll yet? I'd love to paint you a card for the holidays, not that you know I'm a great painter or anything, but I thought it'd be fun.

I voted today! In the early elections and such :D

Voting (along with donating blood) is one of my most favorite things to do. Standing in line, scanning your license, double checking the facts, the poll booths, the little old people volunteering trying to be helpful, the stickers.

The stickers.

This year though, the stickers are weird, they have that weird electronic voting machine on them and yeah. I miss my old stickers, this one is going to look so weird among my collection. Le sigh.

Also got a haircut today - chopped off all my hair again, even more than last time, I told the stylist that I am progressively getting shorter to work myself up to a true pixie cut - we shall see. This might actually be as short as I feel comfortable with going. But I really loved it when we finished up, and I loved it while I was out shopping, and when I was on the way to pick up my sisters.

And then my sisters see it, and their comments are: All your hair is gone and What happened to your head. Boo to stupid sisters.

Soooo risti linked me to an article this week about Jennifer Knapp coming out, I thought it was interesting and I've always liked Jennifer Knapp, so I posted the article to my facebook saying that.

Tonight mom brought it up, how she'd come across it and was I trying to say something with that.

And I asked her what she meant, and she went on to say how I always watch Logo, and I have faggots as the background on my phone (Brian/Justin kissing), and I love Jennifer Knapp. Does that mean anything.

And I shrugged.

And she said well you should know.

And I told her I did.

And then she quoted some line from Back to the Future 3 to me about your future being up to you to decide and we were done ... it was very weird.

Well today actually went pretty well - which is thanks in part to our having cut off contact with the crazy members of our family. Which cuts things down quite a bit. We aren't 10 strong anymore, but I'd rather take small family gatherings over the insanity of the large ones.

There were bunny cakes, and brisket, and deviled eggs, and baked beans - and for the first time ham. And we played scategories, and watched Mary Poppins and Lord of the Rings. And my brother showed up after things had mostly died down. And there was an Easter Egg hunt, and I slept through the sunrise service.

( The Bunny Cakes had lovely themes this year )

Also I love all the Jurassic Park movies, been watching the Lost World just now. I don't care how corny they are, I love dinosaurs!

It's been a pretty uneventful weekend around these parts. There was Olympic watching, and cheering for Canada and their gold win, and of course cheering for the USA and their wins - I love the Olympics :D

I went and saw Percy Jackson and the Olympians tonight with my sister on a spur of the moment, it looked kind of silly in the previews, but I ended up liking it quite a bit, enough to perhaps read the books at some point. They're not the best movies ever, but they're cute and better than a lot of things that have been coming out recently.

Ummm.... my brother is moving out, so that's a yay. Means I'll finally be able to move in my stuff from the garage where it has lived since I moved home in 2008. Though it's looking like I won't have a bed for a while, which is unfortunate. My sister got my bed when I moved home, because... well I'm not sure why any more, but she's been sleeping on it for almost 2 years now, and as much as I love my bed, she's slept on it longer than I have now and that kind of squicks me out. So new bed, eventually. But at least my stuff can be in the house.

Come and join the kradambigbang

yep, I signed up for this ... cause I'm silly. I'm still working on my first Kradam fic, but it won't be big bang length. Still not sure what I'll do for this one, so if you have any ideas feel free to drop them my way.

now bed!

So a little less drunk now, heh. I thought I'd do a little New Year post. Not anything ground breaking or anything like that, just you know I like to acknowledge the start of a new year - is it me or does time seem to move faster every year? Because I'm pretty sure just yesterday it was like May.

I don't really do resolutions, because I mostly fail at them, but there is one thing I'd like to do this year. It's not quite a resolution just something that is kind of there. But yeah.

I'd like to come out to my family this year.

Not entirely sure how that's going to go, what with them being all super conservative Christians and stuff - and this being Texas, but yeah. I don't like not being honest about who I am, and I don't like the gay jokes my family makes, and they don't seem to listen when I say anything about it, but maybe coming out would help? IDEK.

So yeah, 2010, the year of coming out.

Hooray.

We bought a house today guys. We get the keys tomorrow, and then we are getting the carpets clean and then we start moving in.

Hooray!

In other news:

I have google wave invites, 8 to be exact.

I am writing some advent drabbles, I'll likely post them in batches at the end of the week.

I have been dying of illness, and sleeping so much, I am hoping to be well tomorrow.

ummmmm....

mini_nanowrimo is over, and I missed a few days due to my own fail, but I think I made the overall word count for the month like I did last year. One day I will be able to do the writing every day. And then I'll work my way up to the real NaNoWriMo.

now bed.
