Fez and Jackie are much better than Hyde and Jackie.  It actually made sense given how they had been written that Jackie wound up with Fez, though it's kind of icky that she went through almost every guy. 

Eric and Donna!!!  Enough said.

And why am I talking about this now? Just got a couple of tidbits on some cast members, which led me to want to say a few words about the long ago finale LOL.

Moving on, Ashton Kutcher is in talks to star in a movie with Samuel L. Jackson.  If it works out, I already know I will be seeing that movie.  Don't care what it is about.  Doesn't matter.  Samuel L. Jackson is one of my faves and I adore Ashton so...

Laura Prepon has a new show out, October Road.   Given it comes on on Thursday nights when Without a Trace used to come on (different channel), which now comes on on Sunday, I have that tv time free.  I'll check it out and I hope it's good.  Though the fact that it's just now coming on is probably a very bad sign.

First things first.  I hate Valentine's Day.  Always have.  Never had a good one, even when seeing someone.

On to the post point.  Before I was born, my family had a cat.  A Siamese that they had since he was a kitten.  It was my mom's idea, as it usually is, but he soon became my dad's cat, as usually happens.  He named him Freedom.  (My dad was in a very militant phase at the time, and while he has mellowed, my politics didn't just come from nowhere...)

As a baby, when I cried, he let everyone know.  Shut the kid up, she is making an awful noise. 

It seems that I once pulled his tail and he hated me for years because of it.  But one day, when I was around 10 (I'm telling you, years) he just hopped up on my lap.  He started sleeping in the bed with me and Tiffany.  They took up so much of my little twin bed that my Dad started calling me Sheeba of the Jungle.

Tiffany loved Freedom.  She thought she was a cat because of him.  He tolerated her (it's like the relationship between my two dogs now).

I still miss him.  But I'm sure not as much as my Dad does.

I did a bit better in that it hasn't been a complete month since my last entry...little steps folks.

I found out that my references have been called on one job.  I was offered another job earlier this month, but they weren't offering enough money (yes, I am miserable, but I have bills to pay).  I hope I get a job offer on this one, although it isn't my first choice. *fingers crossed*.

I am currently reading Sweet Jesus I hate Bill O'Reilly; it's okay.  It's interesting/scary to read what a delusional nutbag O'Reilly is though.

It's been forever again.  I hope to be better at this this year. 

Happy New Year!  I'm hoping that this year will be better for me all around.

Today is a bad indication though.  I am thisclose to cursing out my new boss. 

The latest book read by Moi is Female Chauvinist Pigs and I LOVED it.  I've been lending it out.  Ariel Levy writes an interesting argument without being preachy.

I miss Lost!  That was a show which actually worked in re-runs as well because each show looks different the more you learn.  But I'm really glad Kate and Sawyer finally hooked up!!! I love them.

Wow, it's been f'ing forever.  Happens when I get a life I suppose :-)  I'm dating, I'm working out tons, and in the new year I'm going to look for an agent.  I need to do something else with my work life.  While I enjoy my job (or parts of it), it takes up too much of my time (as jobs tend to do), to not be my passion.  Life is too short to wonder what if all the f'ing time.

And I really need to write more. 

I just finished "A Woman's Guide to Hunting".  It was interesting enough.  Maybe I'll give it a second read one day.  I just started "Backpacking".  We'll see.  I think I need a different genre to read.  Fiction in general has been kind of 'eh' for me lately.

I find when I'm actually being social and going out that I don't have the desire to "have a boyfriend" as much.  Makes sense I suppose.

I am way too much into celebrity dirt.  I don't believe most of what I read, but I like to read it anyway. 

 And "House of Carters"...LOVE THAT SHOW. 

"Breaking Bonaduce" is coming back!  Another show I love.  Though I must say that I see Danny's side way more often than his wife's.

Why have a mood icon, when my mood is right in the title. Our section of the department has changed office space. We went from our own offices, to shared space. It's a bad idea all around, and we all know it.

Yesterday was the day we were packed up and moved upstairs. And yesterday all hell broke loose. People snapping, rolling eyes...oh I literally had to bite my tongue from telling someone to watch how she spoke to me, because it was that close to being on. Now this is someone who has snappy days when she's stressed anyway, and I know that moves are stressful, so I was trying to let it go. But to no avail.

So today we had a meeting, and I tried tp spend most of it saying nothing, because the point of the meeting was to move along and work from now. But didn't go that way. People started talking about what happened, and yes that includes me. We all apologized, and what do we get...one person talking about how no one but her apologized. This is after she almost walked out on the meeting, then moved her chair away from us offending parties (since when are we 3 years old?), and told someone to just get out like it was her office. Everyone is making her the bad guy...when we didn't say such, but if she felt that way, then maybe everyone can't be wrong. No one appreciates what other people do, blah blah. Fine, I'll do things the way you want, such and such wasn't my intention...no not good enough. Meanwhile, she leaves, and I put on a smiley face to help someone who came to see her (which by the way I do a lot given she's been known to come in late, and yes, she gets busy so I try to help her out). But no one is respectful to what we do.

I'm not perfect, I know it. She helps me, she does. But I know it and I say it. She will apologize, but sometimes in the same breath turn around and talk about how she isn't the only one who does it. It's such a backhanded crappy thing to do. And I am done with this shit. If apologizing doesn't work, if talking just brings more snap, then I have nothing to say or else it's going to be on. I'm not taking this crap.

My childhood wasn't perfect; nobody's is. But I was and am very lucky. I have parents who love me and are there for me now.

Growing up I had parents who encouraged me to be the best person I could be. A father who helped me learn to read early once I showed the initative to do so. A father who would read with me as I got older as a way of bonding. A mother who always let me know I could trust her with anything; I could tell her anything. A mother who would talk to me as I got older and took me seriously instead of just viewing my opinions as someone too young to know better.

I'm feeling thankful and today just wanted to share it.

I'm tall for a girl I guess. 5 ft 9.

I prefer summer of all the seasons. One of the many reasons is because I love to swim, but not when it's cold out. During cold seasons, I get my exercise through dance.

I'm quirky and have at least two personalities (okay, not really), because one day I'll wear a shirt and jeans and the next I'll doll up for no reason but because I feel like it. I hate the fact that I have to get my jeans from the Gap but they are the only place that make jeans long enough for me (I have a short body and long legs so I have this problem where jeans in my size are too short and jeans that are long enough are too big).

My quirkiness also dictates my eating habits. I'll eat really healthy, no meat, no fat, nothing for weeks, and then have three days where all I want is chocolate and cheese (not together, though as that would be nasty). I don't eat meat that often as a rule though.

Sleep is more important than make-up to me. So when I have make-up on it's because I am not rushing out the door.

Though I would never work on my house myself (I'd let my mon do all the decorating because it bores me), I do like watching the beginning and end of design shows to see how stuff has been transformed. And I love House Hunters mainly to see if I could guess which place the folks would get (I'm pretty good at it btw).

And I like going out :-). Vodka anyone?

Oh the 80s stations. Oh the Behind the Music shows when they were still good. Oh the MTV special I cracked up at, "Girl you know its...girl you know its....girl you know its..."

Oh, Ashlee Simpson.

Ah, good times.

But I did love this stupid a** song, no matter who sang it. And I did think one of the dudes was rather hot...

I am sitting here bopping my head to my memories flashing in my mind.

Moving on...on *snap* Aretha's playing on my radio now. It's like they went from one extreme of no talent to talent SUPREME!

Okay, what was I going to say. Ah yes, I seem in a better mood today. Why? Because I refuse to do crap today. I am here in spirit, getting a bit done here and there. One of my co-workers brought his souped up car and *ah*. So orgasmic. I'm one of those chicks who loves loves loves hot cars. Something about a hot, powerful sports car is just *shudder*.

So after visiting his car, which made him hotter by comparison, but he's hot anyway--I'm not so much of a car whore that I think a hot car makes a non hottie hot, I realized that it's Friday, my week sucked, and it's Cinco de Mayo. Now I'm just counting the hours until I can get the hell outta here and start my weekend.

Party tonight, hanging tonight, and to be continued tomorrow.

Yep, I'm ready.
