Oh goody! We're being bombarded with a tropical storm and a hurricane in the span of a day! *claps*

Actually, it's quite funny because everyone here in PC is FREAKING out. They're rushing to the store and crap for no reason. The stupid thing isn't even hitting us on the east side!! I heard there isn't anymore bottled water left anywhere in town. I hate how all the people here just WANT something to happen just so they feel like they have some excitement. If it's not Ruby Tuesdays or some other establishment opening up, it's unecessary actions to prepare for some rain and wind. I guess the schools are open tomorrow... Flagler seems to be the only county open! [Edit] Not two minutes after I posted this, Mike IMed me and told me they ARE closed. My sister and brother don't have school so yay for them, but they're on the west coast so it's gonna be bad there probably. Hey, I don't care. I've got the next two days off from work and I'm sure tomorrow I'll be trapped in my house all day. Good thing I stocked up on lots of comics and thank God I have a laptop too in case the power goes out.

Dang, yo. I'm so /stressed/ about school coming up for some reason. I have this feeling of utter DOOM that is washing over me every now and then. I can't believe next weekend I'm going to be living in a dorm... I really hope it'll be okay and not terribly horrible. But for the most part, my stress is resulting from really stupid crap. Like I'm worried about getting everything paid for, bringing everything I need to my room, having enough meals for the first week since I'll be there an extra day, and buying school supplies... I'm going to have to get my dad to take me to Wal-Mart and get me some stuff. I need the usual school crap and some stuff for my room. Oy, I can't wait until I'm settled!!

I am so. happy. I have Roxy sandals finally. We have a two day sale going on and sandals are fifty percent off so I got these twenty dollar Roxy sandals for less than $10 (with my discount of course!) I'm really going to miss all the people I work with... I'm still annoyed they won't let me work Fridays. It's just... I hate the two bitches that comprise upper management, but everyone else is great and they're so nice and I'm just starting to form semi-friendships with some of them and to totally feel comfortable there and... I don't know. I'm sad. I guess I'll have to visit a lot, but I know once it comes time for me to work for the month of December no one that's there now will be there because we all HATE it and people are gonna leave the first chance they get. We had another manager put in his two weeks today. Wow, my workplace is so dumb. That's the third manager they've lost since I started there and I only started at the beginning of June so what does that tell you? He lasted five months and it was shocking to most that he put up with it for that long... that place is so ridiculous.

Ah, but enough job angst. I become temporary in three more working days so they can kiss my butt.

Okay, yes, I'm going, but I must pimp BitTorrent and torrents in general. I got every comic that came out on Wednesday today in one pack thanks to that, and Crisis on Infinite Earths, AND the whole Batman-Hush storyline. And I thought mIRC was to be worshipped...

Oh. My. Crap.

How ridiculous is that??? And I still might need a book or two for my fifth class which as of today is not specified. The madness needs to stop!

I AM 24% WHITE TRASH!

I, my friend, have class. I am so not white trash. . I am more than likely Democrat, and my place is neat, and there is a good chance I may never drink wine from a box.

Take the WHITE TRASH test at Fuali.com

I am more than likely Democrat
Uh, I don't think so!

Well, at least I can feel better about living in Florida and not worry what my northern friends/family might think of me. Another question that should be added:
[1] Do you say the word 'plum', 'quit', or 'busted' seriously in a sentence?

I have a HUGE blister on my lil' pinkie toe. O_O Damn work! *shakes fist at walking so dang much*

Rundown of today: Worked... napped... computered. That about sums it up. Very uneventful. Work was fast and easy today. No bad customers which is always a plus and I got a lot of the stupid "goals" for the day done with no problem (getting e-mails, quick credit apps, and computer orders.) Blah blah blah.

Tomorrow I am off again to lovely UNF to turn in my housing pending worksheet. I tried faxing it last night and it seems they didn't receive it today. Grr I knew I should have just gone up after work... oh well. I should only be gone like two - two and a half hours... which is kind of a lot but I've spent way more time up there getting crap done. This is the last thing I have to worry about and then I am all set and everything that needs to be paid for is taken care of. Well, until next Saturday. And then again the 27th. Hrm. Man, going to college sucks. I wish I had a parent who was more involved in the process. *glare*

I am SO aggravated right now at someone and I just want to pluck their eyeballs out with a fork and shove them down this person's throat. I just want to YELL and LECTURE and just get this crap out in the open already. I am so sick of me and the rest of the people around me getting treated like shit because of HER. Just... RAWR.

I am feeling very confrontational right now... I guess that is an indicator that I need to go to bed. At least tomorrow is a comic shipping day so I have that to look forward to even though I probably won't get to download any for a couple days. mIRC fills up on Wednesdays very quickly.

Night, all.

Thanks, Stitch!

You Know You're From Florida When...

You own at least five pairs of flip flops

You know someone who's been struck by lightning

You're more scared of the freaks who live down the street than gators

Your backyard is sometimes a swamp

You're officially sick of Disney

You shrug off hurricane warnings

You've been permanently blinded by fat men in speedos

There are only two seasons - hot and hotter

You've drank a flaming alligator.

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Florida.

Man, it has been raining all day and it's GLORIOUS! For some reason, I've just been in the mood for rain and thunderstorms lately. Probably just sick of all the 90 degree weather...

I called my roommate today. Unfortunately, she hasn't gotten her letter yet so she had no idea who I was which is what I had been trying to avoid by calling her today and not the day I got mine. But she lives in New Jersey and she's a junior transfer like me and she's an accounting major! How coincidental is that? She seems very nice. I just hope we get along. She asked me how old I was and I told her 20 and then she asked me when I'd be 21 and I told her and then she said she'd be 21 in October. Then she says, "Well at least one of us will be 21." So I'm taking that as a "Oh yay. One of us is of age so we can get drunk all the time." That doesn't thrill me let me tell you. I really didn't want to be with someone who was a partier because I'm not and I don't want to deal with it. I really shouldn't jump to conclusions though. *sigh*

Between yesterday and today I've gotten caught up on my comics. Batman The 12 Cent Adventure and Detective Comics #797 are really great and I can't wait for the rest of War Games. I got Spider-girl #77, but I wasn't very impressed with that at all. Uncanny X-Men #447 I was like, "Huh?" I'm through reading that title. I'm just gonna stick with Astonishing from now on. Justice League Elite I'm like "WTF??" I couldn't even finish it. I was soo lost and confused I gave up. I just don't know what the hell is going on. Runaways #17 was pretty good. Kinda predictable though.

I'm really glad they killed off Alex. I never liked him. It was also cool when Captain America showed up... I think that's who it was anyway... The last issue is next month and then I read somewhere that it hasn't been canceled and it's coming back? I'll have to do some more research.

All I have left is Y The Last Man #25 and I'm going to read it now so later alls.

"What? I should only kill people after I get to know them?"

Just got back from seeing Collateral tonight. They played one of my FAVORITE songs during the movie too. If the movie had totally blown, hearing this song would have made the whole trip worthwhile seriously. And they played it during a really good, reflective scene. I can't really describe it, but it gave me chills for some reason. But, it is a pretty good flick. Go see it! The ending kinda sucks and there's some dumb parts in between, but the two leads are great.

Shadow on the Sun by Audioslave
Once upon a time I was of the mind
To lay your burden down
And leave you where you stood
And you believed I could
You'd seen it done before
I could read your thoughts
Tell you what you saw
And never say a word
Now all that is gone
Over with and done - never to return

I can tell you why
People die alone
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sun

Staring at the loss
Looking for a cause
And never really sure
Nothing but a hole
To live without a soul
And nothing to be learned

I can tell you why
People go insane
I can show you how
You could do the same
I can tell you why
The end will never come
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sun

Shapes of every size
Move behind my eyes
Doors inside my head
Bolted from within
Every drop of flame
Lights a candle in
Memory of the one
Who lives inside my skin

"I'd give it up for just one more day with you..."

pixelie — Thu, 05 Aug 2004 19:36:49 GMT

I'm just so... icky right now. I feel like my eyes are swollen and my face is puffy. Ugh. I hate being depressed. :-/

The last couple days have been pretty busy. I'm trying to focus solely on getting all of my college crap out of the way. I found out on Friday that they housed me which is awesome. So Friday while I was at UNF I applied for another loan and got a bunch of other Financial Aid questions answered. Most of the time was spent getting lost. My poor sister and I had blistered feet by the time we left and we were going to the mall. Ouchies. I think we had fun though. I did at least.
So today I worked from 8-3 which felt like the longest shift of my life. I got my period this morning too so that was an extra bonus. No wonder I feel so crappy. My brother and sister left today too. I got home and opened my housing letters. My roommate's name is Jennifer and I'm living in Osprey Cove building U, Room 117 I believe. Not that any of you really know about my school, but oh well. Then I proceeded to call Chris. We got in a huge fight. He yelled. I yelled. I cried. I was a mess today. Just too much stress right now and I've been crumbling a lot lately. We made up and he surprised me by coming over tonight too. I was SO excited and happy to see him. He brought me a couple pieces of my favorite cake that his mom made so that just totally made my night. I can't wait to actually spend time with him tomorrow. I haven't done that since Sunday or Monday. >_>
Tomorrow I'm going back to the school after I run a hundred errands. Work to pick up my check, bank, gas, oil change and then off to Jax again. I gotta take care of my meal plan and get the housing office to pend my rent. Fun, fun times. And I have to go by myself. :-( Chris would have come but he has a friend coming over tonight so he's obligated to stay home. Oh well. It's not like I haven't done it before.
So I check in on the 21st and I'm looking forward to it very much.
OMG. I just feel sooooooooo bad right now and I'm really tired. I HATE freakin' cramps. God, kill me now.

I know I haven't really written a REAL entry in a long time, but I've just felt so uninspired to write about my life. I open Semagic, stare for a couple seconds, and immediatly exit out of it. I can't even think of how to start the entry. It's like having... journal-writing-writer's-block. >_> And I have material to write about. I can write about my school issues and I can write about how I saw The Village last night and stuff like that, but I just can't form sentences together. AHHHH
I'm SO hungry. Maybe after I eat I'll be able to think of something other than curling up in my bed and napping.

Robin #129, Y-The Last Man #25, and Runaways #15 covers.

pixelie — Tue, 27 Jul 2004 20:17:10 GMT

I just felt like posting some cool covers. Mmmm.

Man, that Robin cover is awesome.
I'm so excited about War Games for some reason...

I just found out that Runaways's last issue comes out in September. :-( It's like the only Marvel comic I really enjoy. The covers are awesome, too. Kinda manga-ish in a way.

Yes I realize this post was utterly pointless and I apologize.

Wow. I have only been reading comics for like... two months now? Three months? Something like that. Anyhow, I know pure and utter crap when I read it and I just couldn't help but do a nice rant (with pictures) of the latest Robin book because... it just sucks. **Warning: Contains spoilers but save your money or your hard drive space by just reading this**

<lj-cut text="Click for sucky-ness!">

This stupid thing had so many dumb lines and had poor Batman SO out of character! Not to mention Tim. And Batgirl at some points... but yah. There were also some funny parts.

x[1]x <img src="http://img5.photobucket.com/albums/v22/pixelie/Livejournal/robin12810.png">

Hehe. This panel had me rolling. For some reason, Steph just isn't very convincing with her ass-whopping threats. (/end sarcasm)

x[2]x <img src="http://img5.photobucket.com/albums/v22/pixelie/Livejournal/robin12809.png">

They might as well show Steph patting herself on the back. And yeah, in the middle of a heated battle and getting strangled by some assassin she thinks to plant a bug on her. *rolls eyes* She doesn't have enough experience with punching and kicking of any kind to convince me otherwise.

x[3]x <img src="http://img5.photobucket.com/albums/v22/pixelie/Livejournal/robin12808.png">

Then I get more pissed off with this response from Bats. *shudder* Batman isn't that nice and especially not that nice to a girl he claims to dislike and basically not respect.

x[4]x <img src="http://img5.photobucket.com/albums/v22/pixelie/Livejournal/robin12807.png">

Then, Steph goes on to try to one-up Tim in her mind. I love how Bats doesn't respond. That's more like it.

x[5]x <img src="http://img5.photobucket.com/albums/v22/pixelie/Livejournal/robin12806.png">

O_o;

x[6]x <img src="http://img5.photobucket.com/albums/v22/pixelie/Livejournal/robin12805.png">

Me, after reading this panel and the ones like it to follow: SHUT UP!!!!

x[7]x <img src="http://img5.photobucket.com/albums/v22/pixelie/Livejournal/robin12804.png">

Yes, please put me out of my misery!! Just end it!

Alfred... can fly planes? And here I thought all along he could only make a roast.

I'm sorry, did I just turn on "The Apprentice" accidentally?
*coughripoffcough*
I guess DC wrote a big fat check to Donald Trump just then.

And finally... (yes, I know you are all about to rip your eyeballs out from seeing those scans...)

And the lead up to War Games has arrived!! DOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!

Yes, I'm sorry you had to see all of that. Disturbing, isn't it?

Kiss my ass, Bill Willingham and thanks for disappointing me every month since I first picked up this title.

Hey all! I'm back! I had a really fun week in NY and I was kinda sad to come home. NY is a great place to visit, but I'd never want to live there. I miss the weather. -_- Today I worked and I was sick all last night and today for some reason. I think coming back to FL made my sinuses flare up. I was gonna call out, but I decided not to even though I had a fever and just felt like complete shiot the whole day. Here's a couple things that have happened:

[x] Found out today I'm getting a raise at work
[x] Got a letter from UNF saying that I've been put on their freakin housing waiting list!!! *shakes fist* So I may be living in good ol' PC this upcoming school year. Ugh. I really hope something opens up because this year is gonna SUCK if I have to live at home.

That's about it for now. I'm sooo tired and still feeling crappy so I'm going to go lay down now.

Leaving on a jet plane...........

pixelie — Tue, 13 Jul 2004 14:59:15 GMT

I just wanted to let you all know that I'm leaving tomorrow for NY!! Finally.
I'll be back on the 21st so don't miss me too much. ;-p
I'll have LOTS of friends' entries to catch up on when I get back so I expect some good ones! And of course, I require some comic rants from my two comic buddies. ^_^
Have a great week/weekend everyone!

Must... finish...packing...

Geez... another post of doom. Sorry Hav!

pixelie — Thu, 08 Jul 2004 22:43:01 GMT

Man, one more day of closing and I am through for three days. Woo-hoo! Work has been pretty uneventful lately. I've been learning some new stuff though. It has been slow with the storms and all. Tomorrow should be busy since it's a weekend night. Ugh. As long as my department is not trashed and we leave by 9:30 I'll be very happy. I get paid tomorrow too! Nice big fat check for me. I'll be rich again. :-p Unfotunately, a big chunk of that will go to my credit card bill and my NY spending money... >_> Regardless, I've got some jackets and jeans on hold at work that I plan on buying before I leave. Working at this store is the worst thing to ever happen to my bank account, I swear.

TJ and I took our comic trip today. The place was weird. They had LOTS of stuff but it was kinda barren at the same time. Like the walls and everything. It wasn't really homey at all. Anyway, they have TONS of back issues (that were VERY organized) and it was funny because I kept looking for different arcs and stuff in different titles and it seemed like every one of the first ones I needed they didn't have. Like I wanted Nightwing 71, but they had 69, 72, 73. You get the picture. I could have spent days in that place. My load changed very frequently too. Lets just say that before I started walking towards the register, I had Detective Comics #796, two back issues of The Flash, Demo #7, Batman #620, Y - The Last Man #24, and Exiles #49. I think that was all. I ended up leaving with Y, Demo (for my brother), and The Flash: Blitz (the book I was contemplating getting in one of my past posts. It's issues 192-200 and it was twenty bucks. >_>) I spent 27 dollars in there today and I could have spent SO much more. I just figured I could easily download most of the ones I put back so it wasn't worth the extra moolah. Good decision on my part. Kinda sad that I'm leaving for NY on Wednesday AND coming home the following Wednesday so I'll miss two shipping days. :( Superman/Batman 11 finally comes out next week! And I'm gonna miss it! Gah! So much good stuff coming up... Ex Machina #2... yum. Havok or Buzzy, have you read that yet? It's awesome. Vaughan is a genius. So yes, today was fun.

So tomorrow I don't work until 4:30 and I really don't have anything going on. Gotta take my car back to the shop because it still isn't right yet. God, I hate Tires Plus. Then I gotta get my check (unless my Direct Deposit finally started working) and get the ink tags taken off of Chris's new shoes... Gah! Stupid exploding ink packs.

Going to read and then going to bed. Night all!

"Is that you, God?" --Shake

pixelie — Wed, 07 Jul 2004 21:12:05 GMT

Ah, yes. So tomorrow is comic shipping day and Teej and I are heading out to a shop. I'm soo excited but nervous I'll spend WAY too much money. But what the heck, I'm getting paid tomorrow anyway. I'm definitely picking up Y The Last Man #24 and I'm thinking about Exiles and Uncanny X-Men, but depending on what else I find will decide that. Supposedly Superman/Batman 11 is gonna be shipped tomorrow but it is not on anyone's shipping lists so I doubt it will be there. :( I'm very sad. It's one of my favs. I'm just looking to stock up on some back issues. Any suggestions? Good reading material for my trip next week.

My sister came back from New York today and now she's going back home and then coming here on Sunday. It feels like she's been gone for FOREVER and I really haven't noticed it only because I've been working so much. It's probably for the best. I wouldn't be able to spend much time with her if she WAS here now.

My car just got a repair done to it today for like 500 some dollars. Arg!! Something to do with my engine... I don't even remember what my dad said it was cause it was something I hadn't heard of. It's such crap though because my car is a freakin' Honda Civic! It's like... gold, Jerry. AND, the water on my street was turned off today because they've been doing some work on replacing a manhole or something at the end of my street so that was another added bonus today. I had to take a shower at Chris's... >_> But then him and I went out and had a GREAT lunch. Mmm.... sushi and all kinds of yummy things. Him and I eat pretty darn well I must say.

I got another scholarship letter today! I got the transfer scholarship at UNF. I applied for it back in like March or something when I had applied for admission and hadn't heard anything about it so I figured I wasn't getting it. So now I have an extra grand for each year. It seriously made my day. I haven't gotten anything about my housing yet and I'm starting to get a little anxious! Is it normal for it to take this long??

Dang, yo.

pixelie — Mon, 05 Jul 2004 21:23:18 GMT

Wow. It's been like two weeks since I've posted anything of importance. >_>

Well I'm sure everyone can imagine what my days are like... just basically working and trying to have a life in-between that. I had Saturday and Sunday off which was nice, but now I work M-F. And I'm closing everyday. Ugh. They're not all long shifts, but it's tiresome when you can't even PLAN to do anything really cause you have to be home in time to go to work.

So my fourth pretty much sucked. Chris's fam had their party as usual and of course it rained like all day so we had to stay in the house with the kids the whole time. Thankfully we were in separate rooms. But we did NOTHING the entire day except eat and lay around and watch TV. But, I must say, I was hoping to do just that cause I wanted to relax before my no-fun work week. Today I went and watched the boys play softball and had Taco Bell for lunch which was a waste of money because I hardly ate anything. I wasn't feeling too hot all morning. And then of course I worked for like seven hours. Woo-hoo. Some woman came in at like 9 (when the store closes) looking for some table or something and Ray, one of our managers, was cursing about her on the walkies and stuff. It was hilarious. We were so friggin' pissed. People do this ALL the time! They walk in to shop at like ten to nine and expect us to just be friendly and wait on them. We wanna go home, dammit!! I don't enjoy cleaning up all the shit you leave all over the place normally and I especially hate it when I'm supposed to be closing my register and getting the hell out of there. Damn you all!!

Thankfully, my solace rests in the fact that I will be in NY in about a week. No work and no Florida. It will be a nice break. I'm SO looking forward to this vacation and flying again. I haven't been on a plane since I was like six so I'm really anxious. Airports suck big wangs though. :-/

TJ and I are going to a comic store on Thursday, which just happens to be shipping day. Woo! He's basically going just to get Y - The Last Man #24 and I'm going to get that and... other fun things. Exiles and Uncanny X-Men... Superman and Batman was SUPPOSED to come out, but I read on the forums that it won't be out until next week. Damn it. And that's one of my favs too! Well, at least there are two JLA's coming out this month... too bad I'm not enjoying it very much right now. I branched out to Teen Titans and Outsiders and I may get a couple issues of Nightwing just to wet my whistle with new stuff. God, how I hate that saying. Anyway, I'm seriously contemplating buying this Flash collection that comes out this week I believe. It has issues 192-200... it's twenty bucks though. Probably a waste of money, huh? Especially when I can get it for free... I don't know. I just wanna have it cause then I can read it on the plane and fascinate all the passengers with my dorkiness. 0_0 I like having them for free, but there's just something about having the actual comic IN your hand that's just special. Mmm...

Ah.. I can finally sleep in tomorrow. I'm off to prepare for bed and finally hit the sack. I'm pooped.

pixelie — Thu, 17 Jun 2004 20:20:35 GMT

Mmm... Life has been going well lately. I've been working WAY too much lately and I'm downright sick of it already. This week I have 27 hours and next week they gave me 29 and a half. :/ Keep in mind I asked for an AVERAGE of 20. Ugh, so annoying. But next week's hours and pretty much during the daytime so it shouldn't be that bad.
Today I worked 8-5 and it went by pretty fast actually. I came home for lunch and I was so excited to get the heck out of there. My family went to the Swim and Raquet (or Racket...?) Club and signed us up for membership, so Tori, Taya, and I all went to the gym when I got home. It was goooood. I was surprised how much energy it gave me especially since I was so tired when I got home. I did some stepping and running and leg presses. I'm gonna get this body into shape. ;-) No, but I'm really excited.
Tomorrow I work but not until 5 so Tori and I are going to the pool to lounge a bit. I need some sun. My tan is fading. The worst, Jerry.
Wow. I really wish I had more exciting stuff to write about.
Well, I don't so later all.

Stolen from Havok...

I like things to be planned for the most part, but spontaneous things like a kiss or a comment out of nowhere make me happy.

In paaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiinnnnn...
Ugh, my lower back, legs, and feet all hurt right now AND I'm sooo thirsty. I drank a whole Sprite Remix with my dinner in a span of 10 minutes. I can never drink soda that fast. Anyway, I don't know if I'm just not used to standing for so long since I've just sat on my butt for a whole year for my job, or if I need more comfortable shoes... I don't know what it is, but after only five hours I feel like crap. Saturday I have to work 8-5 so I need to help myself by then otherwise I'm gonna die!! But yeah. Work is good, but then again it sucks. The last two nights I've been in the shit department (Juniors) and I was the only person there tonight so I had to empty dressing rooms, do recovery, do putbacks, and ring up transactions. I was all over the place babycake. I got some nice compliments by the end of the night though and a warning not to do "too good" so fast because otherwise management takes advantage of you, I guess. That sucks. Man, I hate working for the... man.
I will enjoy the next four days I have off to their limit. I will not be surprised if someone calls me to work though and I have to say yes since the last two times I was asked to work/stay later I said no. :/ Tomorrow I'm going to the beach and Wednesday Chris and I are supposed to go to Orlando, but we'll see about that because of the stupid weather. My friend Ashley wants me to come up to Jax on Wednesday, but Chris and I made plans like a week ago so I can't go. She'll just have to wait until next week I guess. My brother and sister are coming next week too. That should be exciting.
Uh............ yah. Boring life at its finest. I'm going to eat some more and go to bed early. I will not allow myself to get on mIRC...

Uncanny X-Men #445- Hmm. Not impressed whatsoever. I found myself actually rushing to get done with it. For some reason, it didn't make much sense and I was totally lost when they switched over to the team in England. And what the heck is Rachel's deal? Who is she paying respects to? I don't like her much. I know she's supposed to be Jean and Scott's daughter... from the future... why can't she be like Chibi Usa from Sailor Moon and go home? And Wolverine. I love him but the whiny, crybaby act has got to go. The kid is dead! You did all you could! Stop lamenting!! And Storm and Nightcrawler were just being weird. I think the X-Men are on heroine or something.

Superman/Batman #1-10- Oh. My. God. This comic is by crack. I can't get over how much I love it. It's weird because I find myself making up pairings in my head while reading it. I'm almost wishing Kara and Clark weren't cousins and I wonder why Batman hasn't gone into Bruce "Playboy" Wayne mode and tried to get in Kara's pants. There's even some moments when I can see Superman and Batman together... and to be honest, I never liked guy on guy pairings. I always found them gross. But, I guess it's just the way Superman and Batman's dialog goes during the whole thing that makes me think of it. They're always like "Clark is like this because he's giving." and "Batman is like this because he's a great detective. I love him." It's weird. Issue 11 better come out this month and not wait until July. I need more... Anyone know of any sites that have wallpapers or icons or anything from this comic?

JLA #94-96- This is /much/ better now. The art is not so ugly anymore. It's good now since Ordway I guess took over. And the story line is pretty good. I'm halfway done and so far Superman and Wonder Woman have bit the dust... sort of, Batman pretended to die already, the Green Lantern is being sought after by... some people who I don't know. Some woman who can grow huge, a guy who doesn't show his face much, and a skeleton dude. And can I say that Crucifer (or whatever his name is) is totally gay and annoying? He was like /drooling/ as he anticipated sucking the blood from Superman. Weirdo. And who the hell is Faith supposed to be? Whoever she is, she's quite ugly and useless even though she's supposed to have powers that equal Superman's and Wonder Woman's or something... So far, Flash hasn't made too many appearances. :( I *heart* him. Last night I read a fic with him and Batman kinda paired... it was weird but not at the same time. I think I was in a weird mood last night and just love both of them so much that I could care less what situations they find themselves in.

If you've read all of this, you are awesome!! And if you understood what I was talking about, you're even /more/ awesome.

gasp

A REAL update

pixelie — Fri, 04 Jun 2004 22:27:38 GMT

Whew. This week has been going great! I finally got a job on Tuesday! I was soooo excited. I'm working at Bealls now so if you are ever in there, come visit me! Anyway, it's going really well. I've worked the past two days (they really have been training days) and I have tomorrow off. Sunday is my first actual day. I'm kinda nervous because I still feel so lost. But, yeah. I love it so far. It's the best job I've had in my short working career. So in the past two days I've been working at the busiest section of the store and I'm pretty skilled with the register. I can do returns too! I couldn't even do returns at Bath and Body Works right and I worked there for almost a year. So I feel much better about myself now that I'm not waking up every morning and having nothing of value to accomplish. AND, I'm getting money again. :D I get paid on Friday. It won't be anything big since I'll have only worked ten hours, but it's something.

Chris and I have been trying to go to Orlando this week, but it has rained everyday so far. :( We're going to go to Leu Gardens, which is outside so the rain is kind of a big deal. And then we are planning to go back to the sushi restaurant we went to the last time we went to Orlando, Ichiban. Mmmm. It was SO good. If you love sushi, you gotta try this place. Anyway, we'll do something eventually. And Chris is growing a goatee thing. O_o I really hate facial hair, but I'm willing to give it a try and he still looks extra cute so it's not THAT bad. I just hate how rough it is. Eeeew. He wants to get a new haircut too. I've been trying to help with that one. It will be really weird though because he's had the same haircut since I've met him. Almost four years!! But I'm excited for him and I know he really wants to update his look. Yay for change!

Hmm... other than that, I've just been downloading comics and reading magazines and stuff. I just got my JLA comics I ordered off eBay today. I haven't really looked at them much, but I may read the first one tonight. It's the recent "Tenth Circle" arc, which is supposed to be pretty good. Comic reading has been going well besides getting banned from a certain channel on mIRC for no reason. Grr... But yeah, it's really fun and I'm starting to piece certain things together about the characters and the storylines. There is just so much information! I'm really looking forward to "Identity Crisis" which starts next week, I believe. That's going to be in much demand!

Tonight we rented "Monster". It was pretty good and it wasn't as bad (graphic wise) as I had expected and as people had described it. Still, I would NEVER watch it with any adults or anything. Charlize Theron is VERY talented. You'd never know it was her. I felt kinda weird after I watched it. I still do. I guess I sort of feel a little disturbed. I just feel like something is wrong... but there's nothing wrong. I don't know. I'm messed up tonight for some reason. I think the movie just got me thinking how lucky I am to have such a blessed life. I may have/go through some tough stuff, but it is nothing compared to what a lot of other people have to deal with. I just hate going everyday and never giving the gifts in my life a second thought. How I live in a place where I don't have to fear death or disease. I live in a home that is safe and I'm not starving and I know where I'm going to be sleeping every night. It is crazy how caught up I get in the little things that don't matter. Everyday I really do try to think about how thankful I am. Still, I always feel like I'm not doing enough.

Well, I think this post is long enough! I'm going to read a little bit or something and go to bed soon. I'm pooped. I feel much better after getting all of this crap out of my system.

Comic rants

Feel free to skip this post. I know I said I'd do a real update, but yah. I lied. ^_^

So, with the help of my trusty sidekick, havok, we got my mIRC and everything working so I can get all the comics I want. Stupidly, I went ahead last night out of pure impulse and bought like six comics off ebay, when all I had to do was wait one more day and I could have gotten them for free. *dumbass* Oh well. I'll read them and sell them. On with the reviews!

Batgirl #1 and #2
Hmm... this series has really good art so far. For some reason though, I have problems keeping track of the action. Like people are dying when I don't realize they're dead... and there isn't much dialog, which kinda gets annoying since Batgirl is Cassandra and she doesn't talk. Yes for reading No Man's Land and knowing what the heck is going on. But, Batman has made some star appearances, which makes Shanny happy. ^_^;

Firestorm #1
I got this one because it's a new series and I thought it would be cool to start reading a comic from its beginning. #2 comes out on Wednesday. Man, it's awesome so far! I have no clue what the history on the original Firestorm is, but the art is GREAT and I was into the story. There's lots of modern day references to people like Brandy and Beyonce and Eliza Dushku of all people and that's kinda annoying. I don't want my world directly invading the comic world. Eeew. Lots of GL and MM references. This one kid has a MM action figure!!

JLA #91
Please God let my Flash make this better. First of all, the art SUCKS. I hate it. And Plastic Man is the most annoying thing EVER!! He's sooooooooooooooooo.... old school. Ugh. Could do without him that's for sure. I get this weird "rapist" feeling when he's in the panel. And towards the end, Superman approaches Batman and Superman acts all *intimidated* by him. Why the HECK would Superman feel that way towards Batman? No. I don't like seeing SM be wimpish. I've still got #'s 92 and 93 to read. I will read with an open mind and hope for the best. Thank God that Peppy weirdo is gonna die in 93. *gag*

The Flash V2 #'s 208-210
Have I mentioned I *heart* him. The art is great and the writing is really good too. The only bad thing about this one is I have NO clue what's going on really. I'm confused as to why everyone just forgot who The Flash's real identity was and now all of a sudden all the superheroes are remembering... There was a nice scene between MM and Flash towards the end of 209. Yay for comradery.

That's all for now. I'm very excited and I've been glued to mIRC all night. Off to read some Robin.
Night.
