So. My inbox was exploded this morning.

Huge image under the cut! ( cut. )

I started to post an entry that was entirely wow-related, but really, almost no one on my flist gets it. So instead:

( a small rant will go under this cut text )

Aaaaaanyway.

So, elleren arrives tomorrow. For those of you that don't know, that's imthelobster's dad. Ahh! I keep thinking that the house is not nearly ready enough :( Which is probably dumb, but WHATEVS I am allowed to be worried about this sort of thing!

I didn't post yesterday. :/ I kind of suck? But I was enjoying my first real opportunity to spend time with imthelobster in like.. I dunno.. a week? So I don't feel too badly about it, tbqh.

On that note, it is AMAZING to know that I'm on vacation right now!! Mostly we've just been sitting around doing nothing, and you know what? Sometimes that is all you need. Though we are going to do dinner tonight with fluffymaru, which should be fun. :D

Goals for tomorrow: go to the gym, clean out my car, and possibly finish "The Keymaster" achievement.

Urgh, I hate PvP. (sffl I don't know how you do it)
At least, I hate it on my mage... I'm tempted to start taking my priest through and being all healy in BGs and see how I feel about that. But first... enough marks for my first war mount vbnjsnlkv. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHICH ONE I WILL GET! Either the horse or the kitty, but I can't decide.
HERE HELP ME: this or this?
Also I used to love Arathi Basin and now I hate it, whyyyyyyyyyyy. (But strangely enough, I like Warsong Gulch. DO NOT JUDGE ME.)

Okay. More PvP nao.

My morning thus far:

* buildyourwalls totally burned herself. You guys, I am not the person to have help you with injuries. I have nothing, I know nothing, I am useless.
* Watching the end of Love Actually. NFCNLKNLK THAT MOVIE MAKES ME HAPPY.
* Half-ass watching Donnie Darko. It's on in the background, and I've never seen it before. I really should actually watch it at some point, though. I have NO IDEA what it going on right now, heh.
* Working on Loremaster in WoW. Blegh. Getting bored, and kind of frustrated, with that.

Why do I like such shitty television sometimes? LOL. I've been watching Dancing with the Stars, and I have no idea why. The dancing really is kind of sub-par haha. But whatever, it gives me something to watch in the background.

So, for the next three days, imthelobster is opening at work, and I'm closing. :( I haaate days like that, especially when they come in stretches, because we basically don't see each other at all. I wish it didn't happen so freaking often. Sigh.

ARGH I CAN'T WAIT FOR VACATION. hahaha. The closer it gets the more impatient I feel, though.

I don't like daylight savings. I feel all weird right now because the time isn't what it should be. >.> It gets dark so early!

Why does LJ still have Halloween art up? It is past Halloween. :/ It's the little things, people.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY! I found Fade Out (by rachelcaine♥) in B&N today! YAAAAY. I know how I'll be passing the boring hours at work tomorrow ;)

So, barbed_whispers wants me to do National Blog Posting Month, where I post every day in the month of November. I still feel like my life is too boring for this, and I'm still not sure I'm committed to it 100%, but it seemed stupid to ruin my chances on the first day. SO.

NaNo starts today... I still feel slightly weird that I don't do it. I dunno. Good luck to everyone participating, though!

Okay, back to work now. Blegh.

I meant to post about this earlier, but I'll post about it now!

This past Saturday imthelobster and I went to see Hanson at House of Blues. I CONTINUE TO LOVE THEM FOR ALL TIME. I don't even care that I get made fun of by some people for liking them so much, because they are sosososo good. They put on a great show and I love their music and just UNF. I'd put a set list in this post, but James put it in his phone and he's at work and I don't remember without seeing it >.>

Also, apparently Taylor decided to trade out his usual scarf for suspenders LOL. High-larious.

In the line before the show, I ran into an old friend, which was pretty cool and kind of strange at the same time. But I haven't seen her in a long time and it was nice to see her again, anyway. Not that a concert is the easiest of places to catch up... but you know.

So, does anyone else on my flist watch Bones? Other than imthelobster, clearly. I just finally saw the end of season 3, and.... OMGWTFWTFWTFWTF. I am still not okay, grrrr.

( In case anyone wants to avoid spoilers about Bones )

In other TV news:
* I doubt I'll be going back to Gossip Girl, but we'll see, since it is Crack.
* I can't decide what I think of Vampire Diaries. It's not lulzy like I expected. It's not really good, but it's not really bad, and it's not like the book. So I don't know what keeps me watching.
* I LOVE GLEE. I LOVE GLEE SO RIDICULOUSLY I DO NOT EVEN KNOW.
* I'm an episode behind on Project Runway. I care, but I'm also bored. Bored, bored bored... I wish this season would spice up a little. I mean, I'll definitely catch up and finish the season, but still.
* I am behind on Supernatural, too. It's like a theme, huh? BUT I DON'T MEAN TO BE WITH THIS ONE. I don't even know, the show is SO GOOD. bjsdbjvsblvbsjvb ♥ the Winchesters.
* And SYTYCD! ...not that I have anything to really say about that right now, but since I'm going through the list of shows I'm watching... I have high hopes for this season to be better than last, though.

I should really download Semagic again. Random.

So I have six days off of work right now! WOOHOO! Or at least, sort of. I have a work meeting tonight, which is actually pretty annoying since it's in my vacation time, but whatever at least it's not a full shift or anything.

I've been really, really bad about reading my flist lately. I'm in the process of playing catch-up now... I may need to take some comms and shit off, because, wow. Some of these comms get waaaaaay too many posts a day. -_- So basically, link me to anything important? 'Cause I got to 120 back and decided I didn't want to read anymore. >.>

..I guess I don't really have more to say than that right now. Hm.

Apparently, not only do I need to update LJ more often, I need to read it more often as well. I just had to go back 280 entries. ::twitch::

I honestly didn't realize it had been that long o.O

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.

you can tell this isn't actually ashley because i am updating without being NUDGED.

i really like being nudged though, so y'all should get on that.

KTHXBYE!

my friends are all epic douchebags :D

also, tried to post via text earlier...when did that stop working?

ZOMG I GOT A NEW COMPUTER MONITOR!!!

It is a 22" wide screen, and it is SO LOVELY I don't even. :D :D :D :D :D :D

I am justifying this purchase by calling it a birthday gift to myself.

Also, it was on clearance.

BUT OMG MONITOR!!!!!!!!

Also, imthelobster is the best EVER. :D

Some people can be so pushy >:|
I'm looking at you, barbed_whispers

I haven't been posting, because I feel like anytime I think of something to post, it's almost always negative. Then I feel bad posting it, because I feel like a lot of people are a lot worse off than me right now -- and not just the random whoever out in the world, but people I care about a lot.

So I decided okay, I'm going to post. But I'm going to do it with a few of the positives in my life.

• imthelobster is amazing. I know I probably get somewhat sappy and ridiculous, but it's true, and it can't be said enough.


• Having my mom living close by again is pretty nice. (Even if that comes with its own stress - not what this list is about!)


• The new house is great! Not everything is unpacked, cause I suck at that, but I love the place. I don't regret the purchase at ALL, and I'm very excited about that.


• Raiding in WoW has been pretty awesome lately.


• I have great friends. I suck as a friend sometimes, with the not hanging out and not seeing people often, but it's still true that my friends are pretty damn amazing.


• And because the icon reminded me: I've been rewatching Avatar, and holy SHIT do I love that show something fierce.

( memes! )

Wooo.

I HAVE INTERNET AND A COMPUTER AGAIN.

I AM SO EXCITED.

Not as excited about other things, but EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

I may post a further update later. We shall see.

imthelobster and I went away this past weekend to celebrate our one year anniversary (and just to get away) and it was amazing. We went to the beach, near St. Pete but not actually on St. Pete, and it was just... omg so perfect. The weather was amazing, the water was amazing, the view from our hotel room was amazing. I really did not want to come home.

Also, The Village Inn has the absolute best pie ever. It was freaking heavenly, I swear. Ending up having dinner there was totally an accident, since we were looking for a little italian place that we never found, but it was totally worth it because YUM.


In other news, when we got back to town yesterday I went and got my hair done. It's now really short (see: spiky short) and a dark auburn. I LOVE IT. I was so, so nervous about doing it, but I'm really pleased with it right now. SOOO much better than it was before, thank god.

Also, we finally got desks to set up. So now we have internet, and a place to put our computers! haha. I'll be setting those up after work today, and then maybe we'll become involved in the internet world again. (I haven't played WoW in over a week, wtf?)


For locals: look for me at the community market this wednesday. I'm not 100% sure, but I think I should be going. :)
