In the cathedrals of New York and Rome

Lets count the times I've made a "triumphant" return to LJ...

2010-12-11T20:33:53Z

But seriously folks, I really am back. Times fifty. I've got a job now that allows me to not only bring my computer with me but also I have total internet access and lotsof free time.
Add to that a renewed interest in all my fandoms (and some new ones, hence the icon) and you've got a very present Tree.

I'll be back tomorrow with some Community icons and maybe if I'm feeling inspired I'll throw some Firefly icons in there too.

I'm Ba-aack

2010-04-22T06:12:47Z

I am in the mood to icon for the first time in...forever.
This time I'll be working on Glee, 30 Rock and Rome.

Anyway, just a quick post for now. I gotta start working on icons...

I can has warm fuzzies?

2008-12-19T00:20:22Z

I'm feeling good today. I don't know why but I'm feeling super happy.

I woke up with a dog snuggled up right next to my face which was really adorable. My boyfriend's Mum is making Christmas cookies today so the whole house smells yummy. Speaking of cookies I have lots of baking to do before Christmas eve, I better get on that.

In other news my boy is coming home tomorrow and I am thrilled. He's been working a job that takes him out of town for five days a week but it's over as of tomorrow. He's been away off and on for six months but now he's back full time! It's odd to think about but we have spent so much time apart and yet I feel like I see him all the time. This is our second Christmas together but this ones is different. I mean, other than the fact that we now live together, we're also much closer and it's been kind of a rough year for us and our families. But we're not letting that bother us! I'm actually excited for Christmas this year. Last year was okay but I spent much of the day by myself and I didn't get to see the boy at all. This year I get to wake up next to him on Christmas morning which, as far as I am concerned, is the best Christmas present ever. Then it's mucho good times with his fam-dam-ly in the morning then off to my Momma's apartment for dinner. She made very sure to let me know that Josh was expected for dinner. I think it's so swell how they get along. My Momma adores Josh...but really what's not to love?

Anyway, I'm gonna stop before I get too sappy. Plus I have many Christmas surprises to arrange. Keep an eye out for that, kids, it's gonna be good.

Repo! The Genetic Opera.....OMG!

2008-12-11T23:46:22Z

So I have a new obsession.

And new obsession means new icons (Example: That icon right there!). Soon!

I keep promising icons and not posting them but only because I don't really like the ones I've made of late but I'm getting back into the swing of things and I'll be posting....before Christmas!

Anyway, I've ddecided to become more active in LJ land again. I missed this place. So there you have it!

Girly Boy!

2008-10-24T19:09:21Z

Alan Tudyk guest stares on Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show!

Very special.

Where have I been?!

2008-10-10T08:14:54Z

Ugh.
Too much to say for one entry. I'll just say I've been hella busy. But I'm making icons again and finally finishing some long anticipated VM smut.

I promise I'll be around more and I promise I'll post something with a little more meat tomorrow!

Missed you all!

PS, Totally turned 21 yesterday. What up?!?!

Andraste Tree

2008-06-16T23:08:45Z

Is alive.

I know, hard to believe.

But yeah, I'm still kicking around. I don't have my own computer right now so it's kinda hard to get into anything. When I'm all moved in to Josh's house I'll set up my computer and get back to good 'ol Live Journal.

But just for now, here is a quick update!

-Things with the boy are going great, It's 7 months as of the 19th of this month! Whoot!
- Living with my best friend at the moment,
- Working at a pub as a busser. The very same pub Josh works at in fact. But he's in the kitchen so it's not so bad.

Well that's all I got for now...

I'll be back soon folks!

PEAR! Flavored! Vodka.

2008-03-30T08:28:47Z

Mmmmm.

Drunk.

Very clearly a drunk Tree this evening.

*sigh*

That's all for now!

Happy Valentines Day!

2008-02-15T04:41:18Z

From Tree to you!

Lots of love to all of you on this most commercial of occasions!

Accidentally in Love.

2008-01-18T00:21:07Z

I'm in love, crazy heart-stopping love.

That is the excuse I am using for why I've been away from LJ for so long.
His name is Josh and he is not what I expected but he's the only one who knows how to handle me. He's got a total Hero complex and I used to have the biggest Damsel complex and I thought it was just a phase but I guess not! Don't get me wrong, I'm still a kick-ass and take names kinda girl but he loves taking care of me and it's really nice.

It just sneaked up on us. It came out of nowhere, we just suddenly were together and happy. We try not to think about the logic behind it too much. He just makes everything better. Everything.

And now I have to jet off but I'll update y'all some more later.

Love you all!!

Christmas Cards From Canada!

Who wants holiday wishes from Canada? Lemme know if you'd like a card and an exciting surprise! I've got 20 cards ready to be shipped off to anybody that wants one.
Just e-mail me your address and in a few weeks you will get a lovely surprise in the mail. Hmmm, it sounds like I'm going to be sending body parts to y'all doesn't it. Ew. I can assure you that the surprise is not a human toe. Or finger.

So get those addresses to me!

Supernatural reaction post.

This has been my favourite episode of this season so far. It was awesome.
Spoilers beyond ye old cut.

This is gonna be really scattered cause my brain is still doing a happy dance, it was that good.
I actually laughed out loud a few times, which I hardly ever do when I'm alone.
-Boourns on Gordon, he's a douche.
- Awwww, Sammy's trophy.
- OMG! That's my Denny's they filmed in. Okay, I can't really act all that surprised cause I knew they were there and I know so people who
were there and got to meet the boys but I reserve the right to squee cause Jensen and Jared were sitting in a booth I've sat in countless times. My friends and I used to go to that Denny's at the very least once a week for late night grub and I'm thinking we should start going back more often. Mmm grease.
- Dean mouthing "Awesome" when Sammy found that watch was really cute.
- Unlucky!Sam is by far my favourite Sam. That look on his face when he told Dean about his shoe? Priceless.
- Son of a bitch! I should have taken a shot every time Dean said that.
- "Don't play with my Jesus." Bahahahaha!
- Bella was better than I expected. I think I'm gonna like her.
- Bobby called Dean an idjit!
- And of course: "I'm Batman." "Yes, you're Batman." </div>

I am so recording the rerun of this on the Space channel.
Seriously good episode.

I'm gonna bake some pie now.

I am pulling an all nighter tonight and not looking forward to it. I have to though, if I want to try to get on a regular schedule again.

Birthday feelings...

2007-10-08T07:30:09Z

Twenty minutes into being 20 and I do feel different.

What are the chances?!

So it's my 20th birthday and I'm feeling good. I'm feeling old but good.

Party last night with some of my awesome friends. Drank a little. (A lot)

Beer, tequila and Jager. But I managed to remain relatively classy all night. There was some wacky fun though. My dearest Brandy and I cavorted in the rain and discussed (yelled) about how much we'd go for it we were prostitutes. The very best moment was Brandy yanking off her knee high boot and screaming "60 doll-ah! NO BOOT!" Cause that's sexy? She was clearly the drunk one. She's moving to New York on thursday and I'm not going to be able to cope without her.

October 8th this year is my birthday and Thanksgiving so my mom is coming over to have turkey dinner. I'm making turkey dinner!
It's my first holiday living on my own so it's kind of a big deal.

Okay, well I've got to get some birthday sleep now. Busy day tomorrow, I'm sure.

Love to you all.

Oh! Supernatural rant later, I promise. It's good to have the boys back.

Growing Pains

2007-08-22T09:47:00Z

I am so sick of trying to be a grownup.

Life is hard, I get that. I figured out how to look out for myself early on in life but things are getting really rough.

It's the simple things right now that are getting me down.
I can't afford food, my friends have been giving me what they don't need or even going so far as to buy me bread, milk , apples and eggs. My mom has been good about helping me out with food too but she's in the same place as me. Broke Broke Broke.

But now I am really fucked. I've been wearing two week contact lenses for over two months. They my my eyes
red and itchy is I wear them for more than 5 hours. My glasses are so scratched up I can hardly see out of them. It's just about that time, the time for new contacts at least. But that's like $200.00 that I realllllly don't have. So my options are walk around nearly blind or ruin my eyes just a little bit more by wearing these damn contacts for another few months. How pathetic am I?

I am thinking I might have to start selling my possessions! That'll be a hoot.

Why can't things just be free? That would be cool.

Hope all of you are well! Much love to you all. Sorry for being such a downer!
Just needed to get that off my chest.

I'm a comfortador also...

2007-08-17T18:54:15Z

Le sigh.

How is everybody doing out there?

Not that I was expecting an answer.

I have been on a major Buffy kick lately. It's great but I can't watch the episode I want cause I don't have seasons one or two. Not the best seasons of course but I really want to see 'em.
I'm also lacking seasons two and four of Angel. I'd give anything to have season four, I didn't see all of it. I missed about 40% of that season.

I also wish I still had the soundtrack! Oh how I loved those songs. I've got a few of em but I can't find some of them online and I'm one broke ass lady right now. If anybody has the soundtrack, not Radio Sunnydale, I'd love you forever if you wanted to share it with me. *winning smile*

I am all kinds of hungry right now. I guess it's time I make breakfast. Eggs and toast?
That's just about all I have to make anyway...

A fun story for all of you!

2007-07-27T05:58:05Z

I partially dislocated my right shoulder on saturday night!
The details are a little embarrassing, so much so that my the doctor I saw about it laughed at me.

Basically I slipped while trying to get into a kayak at night. I put my foot in and then the damn thing capsized. But my trusty sidekick(my big brother) was there to pop it back into place, it didn't really take much effort on his part but damn if it didn't hurt like hell.

I cry, I do, just not when I'm in pain, it's not something I do. I have a pretty high threshold for pain. Normally if I get hurt I just saw "Ow!" or cuss a lot. This time I was in front of family at a church camp so I didn't feel right about taking the Lord's name in vain. So I mumbled under my breath and got it all out that way. I think people didn't quite believe that I had really hurt myself because I didn't express it all that much. That is until I got back to my room. I cried like a baby and Andrew can attest to that. It would have been funny if I hadn't been in so much pain.

I have to keep it in a sling, take 2 aspirin every four hours and ice it regularly for the next week and a half. Yay!

Quick Tree Update!

2007-06-27T04:27:22Z

Ceilidh wants to make icons. She really really does.

I am so in need of my own computer, I can't wait to have it back. I need to get all my pictures off my camera and such.
I was just looking back at my old icons and all I could think about was making new ones.

I am moving in to my place on saturday and I could not be happier. I get to bake and cook and walk my dog in the woods and woooo!
I am amazingly thrilled.

Wily, we love you!

2007-06-23T01:27:21Z

I know the distance is a factor
but I stretch as often as I can
my goal's to reach your hands any day now

I know those lyrics are a bit corny but they hold true.

My darling Jacqui is far away but I adore her and wish her much love.
Her, AJ and the babe are in my thoughts.

Homeless Tree...

2007-06-15T03:12:34Z

I am homeless.

Well, not yet I'm not but I will be on sunday. Long story short, my landlord's ex sold the house we live in to a guy who had never seen it. We were given until the end of the month but they changed that last night and now we have to be out by sunday.

VINDICTIVE BITCH.

I am beyond freaking out right now. Everybody else has somewhere to live except me and my little dog. We are buggered.

Ugh. I have a few leads on places I could live but I'm so lost right now.

On top of that I woke up sick as a dog. Woot.

Oh but I did have me some fun last night, the kind a lady wouldn't talk about. ; )

Well I am off to pack and drink tea, I'll keep you all updated on my moving plans.

Love love love to you all.

Stooopeeed Tree!

2007-06-01T06:44:23Z

Note to self:

Punching trees when angry is stupid. It leaves you with bloody, bruised and sore knuckles. Do not do it again.
Also it is self-destructive in more ways than one. You are also a Tree, show some love.

Ps: Control your anger, psycho.

JOB!

2007-05-09T03:39:28Z

Ima workin' gal!

Got a job at Cotton Ginny!!

I start tomorrow and I'm ever so excited.

Fun side note, I get 50% off and family and friends get 25% off! How cool is that?

I'm meeting up with some lovely folks now to celebrate.

Andraste is alive, we think.

2007-03-27T15:38:37Z

Some random thoughts I have to share!

1. I'm not dead!!

2. Landlord/Jackass keeps taking da interwebs away from me.

3. I haven't slept a wink all night! HAHAHAHA!

4. I may or may not have gone crazy over the past five days.

5. Check out my new self-indulgent icon! Oh and later I'll be doing a self-indulgent photo post with lots of pictures of me and my friend-shaped-people.

6. Also I need to share with my SPN peeps what my friend David thinks of the show, or more accurately what he thinks of Sam and Dean. ; )

7. I'm gonna go shower and then Ima do my hair real nice-like.

8. There is no random thought #8, I just really hate odd numbers. (Quit laughing at me, jerks.)

SPN- Set Visit. (SORT OF)

2007-03-21T07:50:56Z

Just got back from kicking around the set of Supernatural. Well I made that sound glamorous and exciting but it really wasn't that crazy.

Just caught a glimpse of Jensen and heard him a few times. He was swearing and joking around and MY GOD he has a loud laugh.

I made friends with two of the PAs and we talked for hours. They were awesome and we were gonna exchange numbers but they had to get back to work and I wanted to go to bed. Plus nobody had a working cell phone on them at the time.

I had a ton of fun just goofing around with them, I even forgot where I was a while. SO many dirty jokes...

I'll write up a proper bit o' word-stuffs about it tomorrow after my JOB INTERVIEW! YEAH!

Woot me!

andraste_tree @ 2007-03-06T21:58:00

2007-03-07T06:06:25Z

I have a date on thursday! Weee!

I randomly met this guy, Taylor, and we exchanged numbers but I didn't think he'd call me so soon. We talked for two hours and it was a whole lot of random fun. He's a total nerd but he's also kind of dick and if you know me you know that that's what I like in a guy. We're having coffee on thursday and then maybe we'll watch a movie or something. I'm excited.

Okay...

I'm done being a total girl about this.

Tee-hee-hee! No I'm not!

*giggles like a dork*

Right. Okay, Now I'm through. I'm calm and collected.

Now it's off to Ronnie/Sacks lands to make all Jacqui's dreams come true!

BTW, do we know if Sacks has a first name? Hehe... cause I'm open to suggestions if we haven't been given one on the show.
