New Year, New Stuff [Dec. 28th, 2006|01:17 pm]
Raphbearish
First, a tangent: I still love my day shifts. I would've never gotten to eat a slice of chocolate raspberry cake on midnights but I had a couple of slices yesterday because it was brought in by someone available in the afternoon. Woot.

Okay. So with the upcoming new year, I've been doing a lot of thinking. I don't really do resolutions, because I suck at them, and can never seem to keep them.

No, this year, no resolutions. Instead, some big changes. I don't know what I'll be doing with this journal, honestly. I haven't been keeping up with it much because there's just not a lot of super-awesomely cool stuff going on in my life, short of daily conversations with marchreaver which are always a lift in my spirits and super-awesomely cool.

Eventually, I'm going to phaze this journal out. I won't remove myself from Livejournal, because I find it to be rather theraputic and I've met far too many nice people through this medium that I'd have never met anywhere else. It's been invaluable. Merely, the journal raphbearish will slowly fade into non-existence and I'll delete it. Part of it is the name is something I feel I've grown out of. The other part is a need to really clean out the friends list. I've got numerous people who I've no idea where they came from, never commented once in my journal to say where they came from and in exploring their profiles, I can make out NO connection.

I also realize that I haven't commented a whole lot in other people's journals lately, though I do find many of you an interesting read and am genuinely interested in reading your entries.

So here's the big change. Right now, if you know/feel like you've been uninterested in my journal, don't read my entries, generally find me a huge bore and waste of online bytes, now's your chance to unfriend me with no backlash, no hate, no hard feelings. You don't need to leave a comment why, either, though feel free to do so if you think you must. I won't hound/stalk you down and be all "OMG, you motherfucker! You defriended me!" and go psycho on your ass. I won't be emo about it and post a journal with a big picture of a black trail of mascara on my face as my tears smugde my make-up. Though that'd be HIGHLY amusing.

At the same time, if you do read my entries, that's great, and I thank you for all the comments in the past and look forward to seeing more in the future - though they'll be on a new journal.

Now I'm hungry, and I go in search of food. Precious food.

Scissor Sisters [Dec. 21st, 2006|03:58 pm]
Raphbearish
So a post from writerbear81 about Scissor Sister tickets had me thinking...

Ever since they cancelled some shows back in October, when was the new scheduled date? Well, it looks like that date is March 7th, 2007 - where the show is already SOLD OUT.

So will they honour the tickets that people bought back for their previous show or is it too late? I mean, it sounds like a stupid question but you still have to wonder...

For this site. Don't click if you're one of those people who loves Christmastime and spends $1K annually on new Christmas ornaments and lights.

12.5 Explained [Dec. 5th, 2006|01:17 pm]
Raphbearish
Honestly, how many of you immediately thought that the 12.5 reference from yesterday was about cock length?

In truth, it's my ring size. I've never been one to wear jewelry much until now. I have a sudden desire to wear a ring. I never bought the one that most schools try to push on graduating high school students. Please. My school was ghetto - I have no pride for it.

I've been looking at a site with sterling silver custom-made rings that appeal to me. One of those with a moonstone (my birthstone) attracts me in particular.

For those who are frequent ring-wearers, do you normally take them off when you go to sleep or shower? Wear them only for special outings and occasions?

Recent Events [Dec. 2nd, 2006|05:31 am]

All done with Christmas shopping for the family. My sister and I went out for several hours together - probably the first time we've done that in a long time. She and I have never really "bonded" like that much. Since neither of us is much for surprises, we knew exactly what we were getting each other. And the inevitable happened: while in one of the stores, we heard that awful song...

The apartment recently flooded. Well, the bathroom, kitchen and outside the front door area did. The main drain was clogged with one of those super-absorbant quilted paper towels. Reminds you of a Simpsons episode, doesn't it?

Adjusting to the now permanent sleep schedule of going to bed around 11-midnight and waking up for 7ish. I've woken up every night so far around 4-5AM for no apparent reason. It's never been a problem before because I'd do this on my days off, but I think it's because I've got a cold or something. I blame the rain. Stupid rain. Other cities in the south have snow and we get RAIN. This isn't Vancouver, y'know!

This man.

ottawacub, I know you know which episode of Felicity he's in that has him going to a Hallowe'en party in a pair of chaps and he turns around and you see his naked ass.

And if you can provide a video link or a picture, that would be much appreciated.

Oh yeah, this isn't for me. It's for velnich. Seriously.

Recent Stuff [Nov. 25th, 2006|08:08 am]

Just finished Day 1 of 5 in this latest stretch of work nights. After the 5th night, I will no longer be on evenings. I'm much more excited than the last sentence makes me out to sound.

There was a little giveaway of 2 VIP passes at work for this weekends Mr. Leatherman competition in town. Thinking of velnich and his recent acquisition of a leather harness, I put my name in, and won them. Sadly, he's working that evening, so he won't be able to attend. Anyone who was interested in going to this event at the last minute, I've got 2 passes for you. They're good for tonight's competition and victory ball, including priority shuttlebus service, free coat check and access to a VIP area. Kind of short notice, I know. If interested, my IM/e-mail is in my userinfo...

Cryptic sentence of the day: I'm so excited for January! Can I squee here? *squee*

Most Important Meal [Nov. 19th, 2006|08:02 am]
Raphbearish
Breakfast: french toast and turkey bacon again (I'm trying to finish up the challah before it goes stale, and the bacon before it goes bad)

OR

fried egg croissantwich, a bagel with jam and cereal?

Does breakfast really matter for it's energy purposes when I'm going to go to bed like, an hour after I've eaten it?

I can't wait to get off these night shifts. December 4th is my first shift in the full-time day position. Yay!

Mouth-Watering [Nov. 15th, 2006|09:26 am]
Raphbearish
Breakfast today will consist of french toast and turkey bacon.

I have to admit, I'm pretty proud of my french toast, but I always have a hard time topping it. As in, what to add when it's done. Syrup and cinnamon are usually what I use, but I'd love to try a banana compote sometime. I just need to know the basics to making one. Recently at my favourite diner, Robin the head chef topped it with a chocolate hazelnut sauce. YUM! Didn't even NEED to add syrup to it.
