The Everything Post

I know, I know. I’ve been a bad, bad blogger. I’ve neglected blogging. I’ve neglected letters I was supposed to be writing. What can I say? Time flies when you’re having fun. And between spending a lot of time with my Dad and RP’ing various characters like I used to way back when, I’ve been having A LOT of fun lately. But I feel bad for not keeping everyone up to date on my little life. So here goes my attempt at catching you all up. There probably won’t be as many pics and details as I’ve kinda forgotten some of the stuff I’d wanted to blog. But here goes nothing…
Let’s see, where did I leave off? Oh, right. Got new clothes for Issi’s graduation, well and I needed new clothes in general. My cell phone started acting up. And by my cell phone, I mean Dad’s old Razr that I was using. So Dad bought Mom and me new cell phones. A Samsung Solstice for each of us. They are so pretty and spiffy. Touch screens with lots of fun lil features. And I just love it. I can get online that much easier with it. It’s so easy to use and Carisa friendly (bigger font sizes for texting). A pretty cool little camera. And well I could go on and on all day about its spiffiness and I’m still learning cool little features even today.

I resisted the urge to play with the cell phone during the graduation ceremony, even though I’d had it less than 24 hours. :P Apart from a moment where I got the shakes from not eating (it was WAY too early to eat when we left), that morning went just fine. :) Watched my Issi graduate and even managed to take one shot I actually liked of the occasion! :D Then, we went to her house to set up for the party, which, crazy as it was, was kinda fun too. And the party itself turned out to be fun too! I always kinda dread parties for fear of awkward silences with strangers or just general boredom. But it was fun socializing with her co-workers and family. Lots of laughs and, gasp, there was even actual moments talking to Andrew where I didn’t smack him around. :P

I forget when exactly it happened, but we have another stray cat coming around. A black kitten with brown “smudges” on his/her forehead and chest. He/she is cute and finally not AS skiddish anymore. And my goodness, he/she is LOUD. :P Praline was the one to lead Snickers to us. Snickers would follow and stay by his side. It was so cute. Oh, in case I forgot. We found out Praline actually has an owner. Some kid came and picked up the cat right out of our yard! The cat cries as the kid picks him up two year old style but never runs, yet runs from me when I open the door a crack. Go figure! His name is really Oreo, which is just dumb considering he’s an all brown and tan cat. Mom and I refuse to call him Oreo, but at least we know he is male now. I asked the mother and kid why he keeps coming to our door. Mother was like, “he likes to play with your cats.” BULL! Oreo and Praline don’t get along and Praline always gobbles up food like he’s starving. Mom swears he’s losing weight too. Meh. Tundra showed up on our doorsteps all bloodied up last week. Like someone had chewed up her ears. We were sad and worried for him/her and wanted to take her to a shelter (yes even if they only put him/her down). But we couldn’t think of how to catch him/her safely and without scaring him/her too bad and making things worse. But the next day, he/she showed up cleaned up like someone had washed him/her. Thank God for that. So we’re still feeding all three of them.

Dad and I go to the Dollar Tree A LOT. I think I have an addiction. But, but they have cheap Sudoku books and, and I got some printer stationary that I will probably use as regular stationary. And we get all kinds of nifty lil things there. We’ve been known to spend hours there. :P Fun times. :D

(Taken with my cell phone! :D )

A few weeks ago, I went to my third Angel’s game with Issi and her parents. It was a blast. We actually won and I actually saw the grand slam (I think that was what it was called) that helped to win the game! :D As we won, our tickets got us some free and delicious chicken wings at Claim Jumpers. So good game, and then good grub! :D Then Issi and I went to Disneyland. Finally saw the Aladdin show there, good thing too cuz it leaves soon. And I saw fireworks! Yay! I do so love fireworks, well when done properly.

Speaking of fireworks… Fourth of July was super fun… NOT! Every idiot on the block was shooting fireworks. And there must have been a fire sale on the loudest, boomiest fireworks on earth! I mean, these were louder than Disneyland! And they sounded like they were blasting right outside our door. We had to close all windows and doors that night and still the sound came in. Mom and I watched a movie in her room, so Pixie hid under her bed with us nearby to make her feel safe. But Oreo kept wandering, like he couldn’t find a place that was quiet or that he felt safe. :( We gave them as much love as possible to help relax them. And as always, left over fireworks go off every other day. In fact, they went off just the other day even still! Joy.

I’ve been RP’ing a lot. It’s fun making new and different characters. I have been thinking of maybe reviving Kila in RB. So far, the only RB thing I do now is guild hunting, which I like (ESPECIALLY when –I- find all the guilds), but RP wise I’ve not done anything in ages for her. I feel bad. I saw a few old faces (that I actually liked) popping up on a couple of the old RB RP Yahoo! Groups. That was nice. I’ve even thought about popping up at Heaven’s Gate myself. Well, if I CAN remember how to write for Kila. I’ve been writing for these other characters on other forums for so long, that I’ve kinda forgotten how to write for her. We’ll see.

There’s more I’m sure I could write about, but I’ve written a novel already. :P Oh! Issi sent me flowers! :D And that day I really needed them too. A very sad and unhappy dream left me a lil sad even after waking. So the flowers really helped give me a smile that day. And there was an ever so fun water outage issue, but if I go into that I’ll get mad again. So! That’s all for now! I PROMISE not to neglect my blogging again.
