The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I'm seriously debating spending 60+ dollars on one of these.



Call me weird, but I think the concept is rather nifty.



Plus, this takes the term disco snatch to a whole new level.



Maybe when I have a bit more cash I'll do it.

I've decided that when the new computer gets here, I'll be doing more particle animations.



My current computer just can not handle the rendering of them.



I have to restart it after one or two renders or it will freeze up randomly.



I did find some really cool particle stuff to work with tonight. A few blood splatters and some really awesome techy stuff. Fingerprint scanners, x-rays, brain scans, ect. Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but I want to do something. :D

So I haven't had net since 10 am. Not sure when it will be back. I do have net on my phone, but VR doesn't like to load right for some reason. :/



I did make my new layout though. When I have net again it will go live.



Off to watch Toy Story 3.

I come over to the computer to take my night meds and check the last of my emails after telling my boyfriend that I'd be right back in the bed so don't pass out....



*cocks head*



Yup. Sounds like a sawmill in the bedroom. Less then two minutes.



I'm not sleepy yet, so I guess I'll tinker around on here a bit. Give my meds a chance to settle before heading to bed.



*hears panda flop to the side*



Yep. He's out for the count.



XD

Still no pot roast, probably sometime tomorrow.



I realized as I went to go resize the pictures that it was pact weekend. I have to do pact weekend or I fail and have to make about 300 tags. Not fun.



So I'm sharing my first pact taggie of the weekend. :D



Well it was a forum set. This pact is a music themed pact. Every single tag we make over the weekend for the challenges has to be music themed. And we have to make at least 4 tags.











So yeah....3 more to go. x_x

I just squealed like a little school girl.



Lady Mishka. An artist.



An awesome artist. One I have been chatting with for a while on facebook. One that I make tags using her art.



Well she was going through my pictures. And asked my permission to make a tube based off a picture of mine.



I said yes of course. I'm super excited :D



The image she wanted to use...well credit has to go to a member on here for this one.







Moonie totally edited this for me ages ago. And well...now it will become a toon. :D

So today was much better. Got home to finish the pot roast I started to make before work. I only got to cut my veggies before work. :(



I took step by step pictures so I will be posting later how to make my awesome slow cooked pot roast. Which by the way, is epic tasting. Some of the stuff I put in it may have you going "O.o" but it turns out fantastic in the end.



It is also perfect for what I'm doing tonight. Sean's parents just left for a weekend away. They have a hotel down in Duluth and tickets to something or another. I didn't quite catch what. But I am making a romantic dinner for Sean and myself. The pot roast is pretty much a one pot meal. When it's done right, it's simply gorgeous to look at, and tasty.



Dessert will be warmed apple crisp. :D



We have the house to ourselves and I wanted to do something nice. No particular reason, just we had a rough week.



But I figured I would show how I do my pot roast. I can't do a cooking show on it because it can take a while and I did do parts of it before work. XD



I don't think I will take pictures on how to do the gravy. I may just do a small video real fast. Maybe. I don't know. Gravy is basic stuff xD



But that will be later tonight after it's plated and such so you guys can see each step. :D

It's rather funny that I stumbled into Thoths journal and his rant about toilet paper and getting less on the roll.



Because the other night Sean and I had a conversation that went like this:



Me: Hunny, we need more toilet paper.

Him: Again? We just got some.

Me: I know. I don't know where it's going. But we need it.

Him: Maybe the dog is eating it?



Well now I know. Them bastids are putting less on the damn roll.



And Morri's comment was on point too. The quality of cotton panties has gone down a lot as well. My elastic comes right off at the seams rather easy after I wash them once or twice. Forcing me to either stitch my panties or go buy more. I expect my undies to last at least 6 months before something like that happens. Not a few weeks at most.



Quality of jeans are also going down. Granted I pay only 20-30 dollars a pair, but I get them at Pennys. Not Wal-Mart and they wear thin in some parts rather fast.



Ick. Good thing I only buy jeans when they are on sale or I'd be super pissed. I hate wasting money.

I can't speak to the quality of womenfolk's underwear, but I have noticed the general decline in clothing. I can't buy jeans or shirts at Old Navy anymore. The color fades too quickly, and the seams fall apart.



for now, GAP jeans are where it's at.

On sale, natch.

Today has been one of those days when I just want to go home and just curl up in my Mom's lap and have her tell me it's going to be ok.



Because that was how bad it was.



Work was....bad.



I had to restrain two boys. Two kickers. We had a kid get a head injury and I didn't know for almost 3 minutes because the kids would not sit down when I blew my whistle. 4 times. -.-



Then, after work. Another kid decided he was gonna strip and run. So I got to stay after late. Joy.



I get home. I realize that I need to run to the post office and get some milk. So back outside in the crap I go. I am pulling up to the post office and I see this elderly man collapse in the middle of the road.



He was shaking and it just wasn't pretty. I got him off the road and called 911. He was so disoriented and confused. I believe he was having a diabetic shock episode. I didn't have candy on me either :(



Then I get back home to see in the mail a letter from the county. My health insurance is ending at the end of the month because I didn't turn in some papers last month. Which is bullshit. I dropped those fucking things off the day after I got them. I HANDED them to my social worker.



I'm stressed. I'm tired.



And I started my period today. A week early. I want to curl up and cry. Something. Maybe a nap.

I'm concerned about the man that fell. The EMS dealt with him and told me I did good at seeing what was wrong right away. And considering I moved him inside the post office, they were impressed.



The kids though, I really wanted to just scream at them. I have to keep my cool. I have to be calm for the most part. But today. I couldn't. I yelled. I ripped them up one side and down the other.

I found these grown up lunchables that are damn tasty.



And only 270 calories in the one I just ate.



Chicken breast on flatbread crackers with low fat cream cheese spread and a mini tolberolne. I can easily eat a piece of fruit between now and dinner if I wanted to for a snack.



I swear that was damn tasty. Tomorrow is my roast beef one. :D

Currently: -2 °F

Windchill: -23 °F



Last night my mother was talking about helping Sean and I move to Florida and my step dad getting him a really good job down there.



Currently: 56.5 °F



We decided to turn her offer down last night.

POST COMMENT

So since right before Christmas I have noticed something rather awesome.



I have dropped about 15 pounds. Remember how I said I was going to try to make healthier choices?



Yeah. That thing. I think that is helping this case. Along with my medication. Because I seriously have been cutting back on the crap I've eaten.



My new years goal this year was to cut down on my caffeine intake. This goal comes because of my mental health. The amount of caffeine I was drinking at times would exasperate my anxiety. So to help me, I seriously needed to do this.



And I have. For the past week. I have only had one can of Mt. Dew a day. After I finish that, I switch to either Sprite Zero or water. Both are rather healthy. Seriously on the Sprite. It is pretty much Sprite flavored bubbly water.



To top that, I have also been cutting back on the junk food. I've never been one for chips and such. But I will never turn down some freshly made cookies. And Sean's mom makes cookies all the damn time around here.



The other thing I've been doing is the portion cutting. For breakfast I have a bowl of fruit. Lunch is usually a lunchable or something like that. Dinner is stuff I make. So I control what goes into it.

Seriously though, Lunchables are awesome portion control. Well the cracker/meat/cheese ones are. The crackers are whole wheat and the portion is small (child size) so it's not bad for me. Plus, I eat it before I head to work. While at work I walk for an hour and half straight chasing children. I burn off half of what I eat there.



But for some reason, this is working for me. Fricken lunchables and sprite is helping me lose weight? XD



I should create an awesome diet for it and make people sheep and follow me!



But seriously. It's portion control and slowly cutting out crappy food.



Yay weight loss!

Fantastic! Do we get to see swimsuit pictures this summer? ;P



Read the Sprite zero bottle though and double check the sweetener. Most of the sugar substitutes are seriously bad news, including Splenda and if you are substituting sugar in your weight loss you don't want to exchange one problem for another host of problems; even temporary one's.

---

Abstract
14:28 Jan 19 2011

I'm not trying to substitute sugar completely. :)



And I know the risks of what I'm drinking. If done in excess, it can be bad. I only have 1 can a day like the dew. If any at all.



The issue with these "bad" things is that people go crazy and have it ALL the time. Sometimes I buy the Sierra Mist with real sugar. The sprite is more of a placebo for the caffeine.

It's a great feeling to hear a teacher tell me that I'm welcome to join her in the classroom whenever I want.



Also great to hear her reaction when I tell her kids that they owe me sentences. Then when they ask me if they need to be in cursive, I tell them yes.



She laughed. One kid was like "I have great cursive."



My reply was epic. "No you don't. You are 7 years old. You need the practice. All of them will be in cursive."



I swear she looked like she was about to die laughing.



On another note...I confiscated an iPhone at work today. >.> From a 6 year old. Who the hell is she gonna call? Dora?



-.-

Popped over to IC this morning to read some of the General Discussion there since I needed a realist view on things.



The topic of men discussing the zodiac change over there was funny as shit.



One of the guys posted this:

Yeah, I've been reading about this for a while now. Ophiuchus, I think, is the new constellation. It's funny that the Astrological community is finally catching up to the Astronomy community.



What's really funny is that many of the true believers will need to change their signs and follow a new sign. I think. I predict that their new sign will match up with their personality and predicted destiny just as much as their old sign did



God he is so right. XD



But I posted something in the main forums that will have me crucified. Astrological signs are set when you are born. Because it is based under which constellation and planet you are born under. In my case I was born under a certain phase of Jupiter that made me a Sagittarius. Jupiter being my ruling planet.



I posted this on my facebook as well.



Maybe my mommy will back me up...



Most likely she will. XD

Well.



I got to go to the hospital for my knee today. They sent me home with some crutches, a brace, and a prescription for motrin. (They don't prescribe narcotics)



I go Wednesday for an MRI. Yay me!



Nothing done to the bones, but that doesn't mean there isn't any damage to the other parts in there. :(



It hurts and I don't know what that lady was thinking by not giving me vicodin. But meh.



I also can't work for 3 days. Or I can't chase kids. Won't stop me from showing up to see them little bastids and my biddys. :D

I blew my left knee out in 2008. My knee cap shifted into my thigh and my leg was all messed up. They told me no work for a week, gave me perks and sent me home with a brace, crutches, and told me to stay off it.



I had a MRI done on it, no bones broken but tore something ( I forget what she called it) in my knee. It is now 2011 and I still have a permanent mark where my knee cap came out and still have troubles with it. Every now and then I have to but a brace on it (If I walk long distances or run) and in the cold it hurts and throbs.



I hope they don't find anymore damage in your knee. It is a painful process to recovery, especially if you are an active person who does a lot of lifting, walking/running, and sit Indian style a lot.



I hope it gets better fast and returns to normal in a short time. Knee physical therapy is not fun. :/

I did something bad to my right knee about 5 years ago. So I know what I may be facing. That is why I went to the ER today about it.



Hopefully it's just a small deal and nothing big. I'm just going to hate being on crutches. They bug the crap out of me.

It was more of a "wow, now that is some funny shit that I managed to pull off in one week" entry.



I am taking care of it like a normal sprain and such. Because that is probably what it is. I have it elevated and ice packs. With some Motrin for the pain.



After I woke up and limped downstairs to fill my water bottle, I laughed about this. I didn't laugh limping down the stairs. That part sucked. XD

So here is a funny tale about how I slept last night.



I drink lots of water now. So during the night I have to pee a lot. Makes sense. It doesn't bother me. It doesn't bother my boyfriend. We just deal with it.



I climb over him last night for one of my nightly trips and I stand up for a second. I turn around. Put my left foot forward, step down, and BAM.



Down I crash. My entire body. On top of my left knee and leg on the floor. Apparently my left foot wasn't awake yet and didn't want to go pee. My boyfriend shoots out of the bed, grabs me and starts to squeeze me like I'm dying and is almost in tears.



My exact words, "Can I please just fucking piss?"



He helped me back to bed after I went to the bathroom and when I woke up this morning my knee was swollen and well I'm limping.



Yep. I managed to get the stomach flu and hurt myself while walking to the bathroom all in the same week. I'm a winner!

Today I woke up feeling much better then I did yesterday.



Got a LOT of sleep in the past 24 hours. That was nice. I feel very rested and very hungry.



Drinking myself a Monster and will be heading to work today.



I am worried about those with the massive snowstorm happening. We have snow here, but we always have snow here.



I am debating if I want more applesauce this morning with some french toast sticks. Yesterday my food consumption consisted of dry toast, bananas, and apple sauce. I drank flat sugar free sprite all day and water. I learned that water isn't as great for you when you are sick as ginger ale or sprite. My Mommy explained it to me how the food processes inside you and what it helps to do. The water just thins everything out and flushes out the nutrients while you are sick like that. So I followed her suggestion for a diet yesterday and I feel rather good to go today. I felt pretty good last night after eating a couple bananas cut up into my applesauce. Well enough to actually shower. That probably helped with the making me feel less gross part too.

Finally was able to catch up on my sleep today.



Though not in the way I wanted. lol



Woke up this morning at about 4 am with the tummy flu. Been in and out of the bathroom since then. I feel well enough to sit up and be at the computer for a bit.



I was up for a while earlier, but after some time I got tired again.



I'm taking it easy today. If I get sleepy, I will go crash on my bed again. I even have the pillows the way I like them for once since Sean is at work. :D



I've been slowly attempting to eat dry toast and bananas whilst sipping flat zero sugar sprite. Now instead of burping up gross yunk taste, I am burping up something rather nice. I take this as a start of recovery.



Last night I started to write up some long entry about some crap going on around here. After my boyfriend asked me what I was ranting about and I told him, he pointedly asked me "why does it matter?"



He was right. It doesn't matter. Some of the people on this site aren't worth the bandwidth at times and I was wasting my time and energy even thinking about it. There are others that do matter. The ones that come to my journal when I write journals about my real life and sometimes comment. (Which I never expect comments)



But those that come running at the drop of trying to get something bad from me, you guys can really go funk off someplace else. Write about me all you really want. You don't matter. You are a person I will possibly never meet in a million lifetimes and your words will only exist on this website. If your personal life is so menial that you have to go online to get your jollies, then I feel sorry for you.



Try getting a better hobby. Like candy making or knitting.



Guess I feel a lot better since I was able to type all that. :D

I feel like a proud mommy right now.



If only they were my own children though.



Today at work one of the boys was having a bad day. He was running around trying to hit everyone.



Ended up pushing two boys that normally would hit him back and start a big fistfight.



The first one being River. He pushed River three times. River walked away and told him that he should just calm down and asked me if it was ok if he could walk with me.



The other was my little buddy Jordan. Jordan did something even more astounding. The kid punched him square in the jaw and Jordan turned around and walked inside. Normally that kid would have swung back. And hard. Those two don't get along very well.



Both boys got rewarded and the other one is in a lot of shit for what he did.



But never have I been more proud of River and Jordan. River is the one that always tells the truth (even when he is in trouble) and Jordan is my little buddy.



I gave both of them big hugs as well. They deserved it.

Well I ended up messaging her about where she got the little bomb, she laughed and said she found it on google.



So she is trying to remember what she googled to get to that point for me.



Now I have so many ideas for a Mario scrap kit.



Hmm.



:D

So last week I was going through all my kits trying to find an element that I had seen used over on CM.



It was a diamond.



I swore up and down I had it already, but I couldn't find it anywhere. So I cracked and asked a friend where she got it.



She told me and so I bought the kit that had the diamond in it. Just for the diamond.



I go to work with my Marilyn Monroe kit that I've had for ages. Guess what I found?



That damn diamond. -.-



Now I see this cute little bomb. And I see a kit I can buy with the bomb, but I am scared to buy it because I don't want to spend 6 dollars to just find out I already have it.



Ugh.



But the bomb is so adorable. D:

So later today I need to go about contacting the tech savvy person on here that might be able to answer my stupid question.



XD



I'm gonna feel so damn dumb for this one.



I just gotta figure out how to phrase it.

Trying to decide if I should go to work today.



Last night we went out for dinner and this morning I'm in and out of the bathroom.



It's one of two things.



Either I ate something bad or I ate something red. Whichever it was, the results are sucking right now.



I'll give it another 20 minutes or so then I'll see what I'll do. If I make another trip or two, I'm not going. I can't be running back and forth during the day.



Let's hope this passes before tomorrow. I wanna go see the squirts play hockey!

I'm a bit less cranky now for a few reasons. One that I don't need to discuss here.



The others are pretty cool though. Boyfriend ran to the store for lunch meat and brought back a couple of things for me. The first was a hiding in the bag with the lunch meat. 2 Monster Loco Mochas. ♥ I effing love those things.



The second he was hiding behind him. A hot caramel mocha from McDonalds and a cinna melt.



I'm in a good place now. Got my meds in me and ready for bed in a bit.



I did want to point out something about VR compared to other places I frequent.



As you guys know, there are two large groups on the internet I hang with outside VR. (or my normal readers would know) Creative Misfits and my guild EHJ.



Those two places are very very different in comparison, but they prove a great point.



EHJ is a guild of 91 members. The forum holds more because of past members and other gamers for the other EHJ divisions. But the Dofus division has 91 members. Of those 91 people, the majority of them are male. So much that I am the only active female in my guild. We have zero drama. Sometimes a guildie might be a dick to someone else, but that passes and everyone forgets it rather fast. And the guys in guild can be rough at times. I can even put a little screenie here of something I said that sums that guild up perfectly. But we have no drama and lots of fun. We all play the same game and have different reasons for playing. Yet when we get together, it's a great thing. No issues.



Here is said screenie:





Now Creative Misfits is a PSP Community. A community of 611 members. Most of those members are female. There has NEVER been any drama or an issue on CM in the 2 years I've been there. Ever. We laugh, carry on, and have a great time. If members have issues with each other, I've never seen it in public. And I am all over those boards. We get along and are like sisters over there.



Why is VR so bad with the drama then?



A group of arrogant assholes with egos can get along with no issues.

A group of females never have drama.



Yet a group of people that should be working towards a common goal, so bad.



I'm confused.



I get it, VR has a bigger member base then those sites, but the concept is the same. I'm pretty sure there aren't members here with 52k posts.



It baffles me. Anyways, back to happy place.

I know I said I would get a new profile going soon.



Well that is on the back burner for a little bit I think.



Sunday, we went to head to the store to pick up junk food and as we went to open the door to the car, the handle snapped off.



Well shit.



Sunday was spent rigging something up so we could have a way to open the door to the car.



Monday. Day of work that was hell for me. Then Monday afternoon I had to go rescue Sean from work because someone decided to play a trick on him and hide his keys. So he didn't have keys to get home. Then I made dinner. I decided to leave it on the stove to keep warm and asked that his parents save us some so when we get hungry later we would come get it. Well, when we got hungry it was all gone. So no supper for us.



Tuesday wasn't much better at work. Then a bunch of crap in game happened.



Tonight we might have to go out. Tomorrow we have to go shopping. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we have to go see his nephew play hockey. Plus some of the kids are playing those days a few hours later, so I'm going to stick around to watch them play.



To top this all off, I've been sleeping like crap.



So profile will wait until I'm rested. I'm playing this game called real life for a bit, and right now I'm in one of those hard epic dungeons that I need to beat. K?



:)

Oi vey.



I forget how bad kids get after long weekends.



I didn't expect how bad they were going to be after winter break.



Horrible.



And we kept them inside.



I spent an hour writing kids up after recess for fighting. Then I had to deal with a kindergartner which is not part of my job. I'm not the one that deals with violent kids unless they are the 2 boys assigned to me. The kids I work with are in 2nd grade. This kid was hitting his teacher and other kids. Tore the classroom up.



I had to go in the boys bathroom to get him out.



Rum. I need rum.



Maybe something stronger.

Just so you know.



It's not called Multiple Personality Disorder anymore.



It's called Dissociative Identity Disorder.



People with DID aren't crazy and don't have a million bad alters.



Maybe, just maybe, they only have one that comes out in times of extreme stress or when something unexpected and bad happens.



Maybe it is something that has happened because of past traumas and simply serves as a barrier mentally from the bad.



Just maybe.



And maybe I don't like people running off the mouth about it because I have it and know how to function on the internet like a normal person.



Especially people that don't even know the proper name for it.



Like almost anyone with DID.

Question for anyone that sells stuff via paypal.



Did they up fees for the start of this year?



We love to ensure that our customers get their moneys worth and we will still have regular sales in the store.

Paypal fees can be trifling at times but here at Dreams-N-Digital we will press forward and not allow that to interfere

with our ability to bring you the best scrapkits we can possibly make and we will continue to stretch our creativity even further

to ensure those scrapkits are unique and full of quality.

Several stores are making the minimum store purchase $2.00 - $5.00 but we at Dreams-N-Digital will keep the minimum store purchase at $1.50.



This isn't the first message like this I have seen. Almost every single scrap kit store has upped prices and minimum purchases. Which is a bit bothersome since a lot of times I buy CU items when they are discounted. And I only buy one or two here and there. At maybe a buck each. Now I can't do that.



I'll happily hold off on buying shit if I have to, it's not the end of the world. I'm just curious about if paypal raised prices. :/

I got curious. About a year ago I bought my external hard drive.



Over the past year I started to purchase/collect tubes and scrapkits something hardcore.



Also on this hard drive is my music collection.



Here are some numbers for you.



Music: 77.8 GB

Scrap Kits: 9.42 GB

Tubes: 7.00 GB



Now the last number might now be a lot to some of you, but the average size of a tube is 1mb.



You do that math.



I currently hold 13 different licenses for art. One of them for exclusives that are only available on Creative Misfits. Those are the most special to me. The group gets together to raise between 80-500 dollars to get commissioned tubes. We have them from Ismael Rac, Keith Garvey, Jose Cano, Jamie Kidd, and Elias Chatzoudis. That may not sound like a lot, but we have four different ones from Rac and two from Cano. Elias and Garv are incredibly expensive commissions. I'm getting a personal Elias for my Christmas gift, I would know that cost. O.O



In the end, I have a lot of stuff.



A lot of stuff I rarely use too. A good portion of my scrap kits came from buying a certain amount at stores and I ended up getting some huge bundle pack. I most likely only wanted one pack in that bundle, but since I got it for free, I have all the others. XD



I didn't check to see how much commercial stuff I have. I am pretty sure it's a good amount as well. I do enjoy making my own scrap kits, it just takes me a bit. I need to get some stuff for my VDay kits.



I also love the misfits.



I'd kill to see a few members from here over there. Or just to see them tag. They are great at photomanip stuff, but I wonder how they would be with tagging like we do over there. xD

I keep seeing people talking about how they are glad 2011 is here and how shitty 2010 was for them.



Well a few things about that.



One, it's only as shitty as you make it. The second, not everyone in the world had a bad year. I had a great past year.



I can't really think of anything that stands out as bad. The only one I can really think of is that I got denied for disability. But I'm still in the process for that same application, so the fight isn't over.



I got to live with two of the coolest people ever. I got to fly to meet someone I wanted to meet so much. Realized how much I was in love with that someone. Moved up north with them.



I started to drive. I got back into therapy. I have a job I absolutely love. I have health insurance for the first time since I became an adult.



I've seen children do some amazing things. Also some not so amazing things.



In the virtual aspect, I have also had a great year. I hit 200 on my main in Dofus. Got most of my others decently leveled. Only bad thing on that aspect was the guild fallout earlier. But that is well recovered by now.



Like VU said. Year of the fist. (which was followed by someone having a boner, but whatever)



But 2010 didn't suck. Hopefully 2011 doesn't either. And if it does start to suck, I'll try to make it better.



Happy New Year guys ♥
