Bored.

Waiting for a phone call

Waiting for the mystery dinner tonight.

Mom is back in VA

Dad stayed home today.

Yes, I am bored.

Polyphastic Sleep

Ok, so those of you who know alot about me know that I don't sleep that often. I was on the internet doing some research, and came across several articles on Polyphasic Sleep, also known as the Uberman's sleep schedule. It seems really interesting, and I might wanna try it out. Has anyone ever heard of this before? Anyone ever attempted it?

Supposably alot of famous inventors and armed forces-type people use this. What are everyone's thoughts?

Oh, and for all you image whores–heres one to keep you happy:

It's Monday, I'm home. and I'm bored

So I'm home. Reading online stuff that I haven't read in a while, and just generally chillin' in my room, waiting for Josue to get off work so we can grab some food before heading out to the prayer meeting.
I'm smiling.

This weekend has been awesome. First going to Mosaic and hanging out with my friends watching Smallville til 3am(Rafa and Paul are way awesome guys who definitely know how to sneak around my house late at night), and then sleeping in, waking up late on Sunday, and on the spur of the moment heading down to Fredricksburg to visit Lauren.(who is, by the way, completely cool and totally awesome. Plus shes got a cute dog named Bella who I fell in love with. Careful Laruen, I might try to steal her from ya!)

If I had to sum the trip up in 2 words-Amazing time. It has seriously been such a long time since I've just been able to kick back, not worry about time or money or parents or strangers or snakes(long story!) or work and just go out and enjoy myself in a new place. I've spent so much time in Manassas that it's become boring. I needed to expand my horizons, and Fredricksburg fit the bill(I mean.. it is on the horizon–depending on where you're standing on how you're looking at it, LOL!)

I went hiking along the Rappahannock river. I haven't been hiking since my boyscouting days–that was like, 10 years ago. I worried about snakes(grr how i hate them) for a little while, but eventually just stopped on a big rock right on the edge of the water and relaxed. It's so pretty there. Watching the water hit the rocks, the trees blowing in the breeze. Very peaceful. I can definitely see myself going back, and just sitting in that spot for hours, just enjoying nature. Ofcourse, Lauren and I had her dog Bella with us, who is scared of the water, so that added a wee bit of fun and 'ohmy whatever will happen if she gets wet' mystery to it all.

Ofcourse after that it was time to eat(yes, please.. no comment about how exercise makes me hungry!) and on a whim we drove down to Richmond(which I've never been to) and ate at Nacho Mama's. It's supposed to be the best Mexican food ever. And I have to admit, so far I haven't tasted mexican food better than that.

I got mini tours of both Richmond(did you know theres a beach smack dab in the middle of the city where you can look up and see god-only-knows how many stars? Soo beautiful!) and Fredricksburg(major college city, but old town is so much cooler than Manassas) and in the process listened to and sang so many songs that I hadn't heard in a long time, as well as listened to a few cool artists who I had never heard of, but were also pretty cool.

I had planned on being able to see a movie while I was down there(we all know how I am about movies!), but that didn't happen. What did happen was lots and lots of conversation. Yay! We all know how much I love to talk. and talk. and talk some more. LOL.
Seriously though. Conversation rocked. The whole trip rocked. I am definitely looking forward to going back down.

So anyways: that was my weekend. I'm supposed to do 6 hours of OT tomorrow for work. Chances are I'll end up forcing myself to stay and do more, just incase they were mad at me for calling out sick on Friday and Saturday and then not showing up for my OT on Sunday(please, no comment about how irresponsible I am, ok?) So this week is going to be really really long. But at least it's payweek for me. Yay for money!

mmm, mmm good.

So far it's been an awesome Sunday. I'm sure I'll postg more details later, but so far I've spent the day in Fredricksburg AND in Richmond–my first time visiting both cities (and I didn't get lost!) I've gone hiking, toured both cities(well, drove around them) and ate at 'the best mexican food place ever' aka Nacho Mamas(thats in Richmond)
Ahh. So far its been an awesome day. It's great to go somewhere you've never been before, do things you haven't done in a long time, and just generally have a great time and feel happy.

I'm gonna get going for now.

I'm sure I'll write more details later!

A very short synopsis of my day

Today was cool.

I hung out with some friends, went to Mosaic, and then had a couple people come back to my house and watch a few episodes of Smallville. It's 3am, and they just left.

Wow. The day lasted longer than I thought it would.

I wonder what tomorrow(aka today, aka Sunday) will bring?

Bring it on.

I should be at work

I took the day off work. I'm not really sure why I did it. It's 7am and I should go back to bed. I wish it wasn't raining. Yesterday I was in such a funky mood. I feel sorry for my sister and Connie, who had to put up with it late at night until I went to bed. Josue and Nilsa invited me to Carson's house to watch Saving Private Ryan. A war movie. Not my thing.

So I woke up this morning, checked my email and responded, and then quietly lamented not staying awake later last night. I was in bed by 10, and sleeping by 11. How sad is that? And now here I am. Awake and open to the new possibilties a new day can bring, and yet fighting the feeling that this new day will be gone before I know it.

I want to take advantage of this time off. I know I will be able to get to Mosaic on time(yay!) But what happens til 6:30pm? What should I do? If I stay home, I am forced to stay inside my room, or else deal with the rantings of my father. If I go out–great! But where do I go? What do I do? Though the options are many, the plans are few.

So I think for now I will stay online, listen to my ipod, and wait. Good things come to those that wait, isn't that the saying? Oh how I've waited. Where is my good thing?

a boredom haiku

I am very bored
incredibly bored right now
boredom is now here

And yes, I know real haikus mention something about seasons. Well, to me boredom is a season! When oh when will it be over?

It's Friday night. And I'm home. It sucks.

I work tomorrow. 12 hours, and then off to Mosaic. I also work OT for 6 hours on Sunday and Tuesday. What fun.

Sometimes life seems so…

bland.

I'm in a numbers mood tonight

What follows is a very quick and short recap of my day, because I am way too tired to go into details.

First things first–I had a cool day today. Woke up late, and discovered I had no clean clothes to wear. Threw all my laundry in for washing, and then discovered the internet was down. Grrr. Boredom set in pretty fast. And I was supposed to meet Rob at church to do some video stuff, which didn't happen because the dryer took an extra long time to dry my clothes.
Eventually my clothes dried, and in a weird twist of fate, Abby and I went and saw Elizabethtown. The short version–very stupid movie. Don't go see it. It had it good moments, but all in all it was boring. and long. and boring. Did I mention that you shouldn't go see it? Cause you shouldn't.
After that we grabbed some food at Wendy's and went off to the Wednesday night CORE meeting, where I learned more about Chapter 4 of the book of James.
Also, I was supposed to go see Wallace and Gromit again tonight, but hardly anyone was interested in seeing it, so I called Connie and asked if we could reschedule. Thankfully she said yes.
Bah. I am very tired right now. I am about to go to bed, but before I go, I thought I'd give you all a wonderful look at my financial status. (really for no particular reason, as I got home it just came to my mind, and I thought I'd share it with you all. So… here it is!
I have 2 school loans left to pay off. One of them is for $4463.20 and the other is for $5017.32. I also have a bank loan for my car, the balance of that being $5826.13
Bah. So all together I owe….lots of money!! (LOL, I'm way too tired to actually add it all up right now)

In short–today was a great day(I finally have clean clothes, yay!), tomorrow I go back to work, and I am once again re-starting the “Give Nick Money” fund. It's not tax-deductabe, but you get the benefits of seeing me smile and a great big hug. Maybe even 2 hugs if you don't smell bad. Hehehehe.

I'm going to go to bed. Heres Sinfest!!!

I wanna know what the people know…

Hey all! So it's been a very, very, VERY long time since my last update. Wooohoooo!

I'm a very hyper, and yet very bored. I just spent 2 hours reading random ljs and leaving comments on them. If you happen to be one of those people–hi, and welcome to my livejournal!

I am trying to think of an original thought…

Ok. it didn't work. All that came to me was 'bread pudding'. Grr. Hardly original. I need to get out more.

Question of the day(completely unrelated to anything about me) eople have said… it is better to love and lose then to never love at all. What do you all think? True? Not true? (please feel free to explain your answer, and don't forget, if it's not typed and handed in by next week, I will deduct points from your final grade) hehehehe.

I promised you all a Sinfest comic. Not too funny, but it reminds me of Shrek 2. Here it is:

Today is my parents' wedding anniversary….

Tonight has been eventful. Here's what happened, in list format:

–Survived another day at work with torn up shoes. One day left and then I can buy a new pair.
–Went to Men's CORE
–Went and saw Wallace and Gromit,
–Was involved in a car accident on the way out of the parking lot(no worries, It wasn't me or my car, and everyone is fine and dandy)
–Now it's 2:30am and I just got done watching the new episode of Naruto and the new episode of Smallville.
–I still can not sleep.

However, on another note—

Today, two different people have made comments to me about Stickson.

I have the next few comics written out to continue with the series, now all I need is to draw the darn thing. That will be the hard part. I was never the actual artist of Stickson; Rhema drew them for me, I just came up with the general idea and the scripts. No time like the present to work on my “skills of an artist” though, right?……right?!?!?!

I think it has great potential. We'll have to see how it goes, and where this takes me.

And with that, I'm going to try to get some sleep. I promise tomorrow will be another fun filled update(and will probably be more detailed as well) I also promise you all another Sinfest comic in tomorrow's entry.

Yay!

Another one-liner before I pass out…

I'm clean, caught up on all online comics that I read, and am going to bed. Yay for sleep.

a one-liner

I'm tired, and I smell really bad. I'm off to take a shower and go to bed. “Butt Dance” has become my favorite icon.

In honor of the newst TGS…

You're an Expert Kisser

You're a kissing pro, but it's all about quality and not quantity You've perfected your kissing technique and can knock anyone's socks off And you're adaptable, giving each partner what they crave When it comes down to it, your kisses are truly unforgettable

What Kind of Kisser Are You?

Your Seduction Style: Ideal Lover

You seduce people by tapping into their dreams and desires. And because of this sensitivity, you can be the ideal lover for anyone you seek. You are a shapeshifter – bringing romance, adventure, spirituality to relationships. It all depends on who your with, and what their vision of a perfect relationship is.

What Is Your Seduction Style?

Corn is no place for a mighty warrior.

It's currently 5:30am and I have yet to go to bed. For some reason I am just not tired. I laid down for a little while and tried to sleep, but sleep never came.

Now I'm up once again wandering down the vast corridors of cyberspace–reading online comics, drooling over ebay items I will never bid on, searching for materials for the upcoming Mo' newsletter, and listening to my ipod. Ahhh. I'd finish this by stating that I need a life, but I think you all probably guessed that already.

Theres really not much to tell. I just got out of the shower(I took a hot, relaxing shower in the hopes that it would help me fall asleep, but to no avail) So yes.. as stated before.. here I am. Online. And everyone I know is sleeping.

For a while I thought about writing some new poetry, but after sitting infront of the computer for an hour, typing and then erasing, and then typing and erasing some more, I've decided to stop and just chill until such time where inspiration strikes me.

Heres something cool: In my online searching, I've come across an Error message Generator. So in honor of my brother(who first introduced me to this virus) here is my custom error message:

Also, on another random note–I just added to my friends list a somewhat new(ok, new to me) LJ community all about making Homestar Runner icons. In fact, it's where I snatched the current icon for this entry. Oh yeah… doing the butt dance! Hehehehehe.

Theres also new Teen Girl Squad out.

Anyone wanna get all makey-outy with me?

another voicepost, and a quick note

This one is kinda short, in a very rambling mode.

I'm in a very 'short' rambling mood.

Grrr.

My dad got mad at me 2 days ago and gave me until March 1st of 2006 to get out(or else, knowing him, I'll come home to all my stuff thrown away and all the locks on the house changed)
So I have 6 months. I'm kinda looking forward to getting out. I want to save up for my own little 1 bedroom apartment though. I mean, it would be awesome to have a roommate, but I feel like I need to be on my own for a while. I don't know–maybe that feeling will change. But I want a pet. I'm not sure what kind yet. Not a dog…not yet. Maybe a rat or a gerbil or a rabbit or something. I don't know.

I'm in a weird mood. Thank God that the prayer meeting starts in about an hour.

Sometimes life just feels so…..

empty.

Another month; another LJ theme

I had a huge LJ entry posted, but then Firefox errored out and I lost it all. Bah! I don't feel like posting it all over again, so you all will have to wait until tomorrow morning for a 'real' update.
However, I did want to draw your attention to my new LJ Theme and a new LJ icon that I stole from someone(sorry, I can't remember who!)

Have a great night, and I'll post first thing tomorrow morning.

Psalm 32

I was introduced to Psalm 32 tonight.

1 Blessed is he
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.

2 Blessed is the man
whose sin the LORD does not count against him
and in whose spirit is no deceit.

3 When I kept silent,
my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.

4 For day and night
your hand was heavy upon me;
my strength was sapped
as in the heat of summer.
Selah

5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, “I will confess
my transgressions to the LORD “—
and you forgave
the guilt of my sin.
Selah

6 Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you
while you may be found;
surely when the mighty waters rise,
they will not reach him.

7 You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.
Selah

8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you and watch over you.

9 Do not be like the horse or the mule,
which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle
or they will not come to you.

10 Many are the woes of the wicked,
but the LORD's unfailing love
surrounds the man who trusts in him.

11 Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous;
sing, all you who are upright in heart!

Wow. That is truely cool.

Gosh!

Ok. So it has been a really really long time since I've updated. But.. I am finally all better from the horrible sickness that plagued me for 2 weeks. Yay!
This is going to be another long post, so I'm sorry for all of you who like reading shorter ones. I'll use the cuts whenever I can, so just consider this lots of little posts all rolled into one big one.

Theres gotta be more to life

When I was sick, not only did I try to stay away from LJ(and the computer in general) but I also closed myself off from my friends; staying in bed drinking fluids trying to get better. The only thing I did was go to work. And to be honest–it really sucked. Go to work, come home, sleep, wake up and repeat. It was boring and very unsatisfying. And it got me thinking–is that all life is? What is our purpose on this planet? Why are we here? Day in and day out we all wander around doing the same thing. What is satisfying about it? Nothing! The only joy I receive on this Earth is being able to fellowship with my friends, as well as fellowship with God. Big bang theory? No wonder people are depressed! If you take God out fo the equation–and we're all here by some random mistake–theres nothing else after this life. And if theres nothing else after this life, hell yeah I'd be depressed! I mean, what would be the point of living? But lucky for all of us there is. God created us and put us on this Earth for a reason–to know Him. He wants to have fellowship with us and get to know us. How awesome is that?!?!? To think that the creater of the universe, who holds all of existance in the breath of his hand–wants to spend time with us! That blows me away. And to go one step further and to imagine that he sent his son to die for us so that we could spend eternity with Him, is very hard for me to grasp. But it's true! no matter how horrible we are, no matter what we're done or will do; God still desires to fellowship with us. Yay God! LOL. Reading back over it, this part of my post sounds so 'basic', but at the same time it's so very awesome and true. “For God so loved the world that he sent His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Basic–but very true, very powerful, and supremely awesome. Those are the thoughts that have been running through my midn lately, so I thought I'd take a quick moment to share them with you.

Your Mom goes to college!

Thats right folks. I have finally seen Napolean Dynomite. Wow. The movie had–no point. But it was so frickin' cool! If you haven't seen it, I highly suggest you go see it. Right now. And make sure you stay and watch until all the credits are over–theres even more after you think it's all over!
Yup, now that I'm not sick, I'm back to my usual stay up late, hang with friends, and chill mode. Saturday night I didn't get to bed until 4:30 (I didnt even get home til 3am Sunday) because after Mosaic a group of us went to TGIF and then to the 12:15 showing of “Serenity.” Yup–thats a great movie, too! And this Friday night I'm trying to put together a gorup fo people who want to go watch “Just Like Heaven.” You should join us! Ahhh, life is finally getting somewhat back to usual. Lets see–whats on the schedule for this week? Today I'm free until the prayer meeting at 6:30 at MAG (ofcourse, I'm 'free' but I've got a bunch of errands to do, including get me some clean clothes and paying off a 3000$ school loan. Yay! Tomorrow(Tuesday) I have a meeting with PK from 10:30-11:30 about the whole Rhema/GCC thing, and then I'm free until my “House” house party at 9. You should come to that as well–theres hardly a medical drama out there right now thats better than 'House.” Wednesday I've got lunch with Justin around 12:30, and then the Mo' CORE group at 7:30, followed by my first ever trip to Levi's townhouse. And then…sadly….Thursday is back to work day. *sigh* I'm glad I'm making the most of my days off.

My online wonderfulness…

Just to make this post a wee bit longer, I've decided to post the links of all the Online comics that I read regularly. Oh, and be sure to look for a Sinfest comic at the end of this post!
