CURRENT SONG:
"Toxicity" by System of a Down from the radio in the next office...

Great, I'll have that song pounding through my head for the rest of the day... Well, minnasan, on Tuesday I gave my two-weeks notice and though I know that my boss wasn't happy with me, he had to just bite the bullet and deal with it. I know that right now I don't have a new job yet, but I'm not too worried. I've always been able to find some kind of employment quickly in the past. I can tell you one thing though, my asthma attacks have started to really lax off now that I know I'm not going to be working at the paper any more. Oi, if that doesn't say something, ne? It's pretty sad that my job causes most of my attacks. I've only got about ten days left at this place and I am free. I can tell you, I've never been SO happy in my life!

LNchan posed an interesting question on her Blournal. She's been watching "Reign the Conquerer" or "Alexandrian the Great" for those in England who've seen it. This particular episode talked about stumbling upon your own grave in the future. She posed the question of how it would look and how one would feel I believe. I think that mine would be very small with a bench to sit on. There would be lots of beautiful roses and wildflowers and always a very nice warm breeze. It would be a place that people could come and sit, watch the flowers grow and contemplate on the wonder and beauty of the world around them and of life. I would want my final resting place to be a place that others too could come and rest.

Okay, now that deep meaning moment is out of my system... ::chuckles:: Cosplay news, I finished my Harry Potter scarf including the tassles on Tuesday evening and have been wearing it ever since! It's so cozy and for some reason, most of my coworkers can't believe I sat and made it. Really, minnasan, crocheting a scarf isn't that hard because you only use one variation of the same stitch and just go in rows. I'll have to check now how long my Grad robe is from my college grad. If it's not quite long enough, I might ask if I can buy K's off her, since she's much taller and the robe would be longer! Hopefully I'll be starting on my Rikku top some time this week as I found the perfect gold material for her top! I can't wait!

Quiz time for today comes compliments of Quizilla.com again. Thanks to Kichan, I'm still on a massive Kingdom Hearts fix, so I figured I'd take a KH quiz! This one is more Disney related in reference to the game.

YAY, I LOVE JACK!!! I was so thrilled when I found out that Halloweentown was one of the lands in the game! I wish that there was a Nightmare Before Christmas sequel that could go into the KH2 sequel! I also am an absolute fanatic for Halloweentown Sora and would really like to cosplay as him. I might still if I have time to build the costume!

LotR news for today, my best friend K and I were commented last night at dinner how they got screwed out of the Oscars. Almost everyone that I've talked too has had the same opinion. Mind you, I don't disagree always with some of the choices for the awards, but come on! No best actor nomination? Sheesh, I mean, I know there wasn't really any "main" actor in TTT, but how about a nod to them, yah Oscars? I really hope that Peter Jackson will finally win Best Picture and Best Director with RotK or I will be ticked! On another note, did you know that the Faramir action figure has "slashing sword action?" I can't tell you how long I spent amusing myself with that... ::grinz::

Well, that's all for now, minnasan. The weather is starting to get cold again. NO!!!! I wanna thank meh Sissy for the on-line card, gave me quite a good laugh this morning! Domo arigato for 4190+ hits, (HOLY KAMISAMA!!!) sign my Guestbook onegai and ja ne for now! =~.^=V

RANDOM LOTR THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Aragorn's Theme Song: "I Just Can't Wait to be King..."

CURRENT SONG:
"Civil War" by Guns N Roses from the radio in the next office...

Well minnasan, I've been left in a very difficult position today. I came to work and my boss called me into his office. He told me that he had fired my coworker Jason and asked if I could take over his position. Needless to say, I was quite speechless as I think that Jason's removal was uncalled for. But, I told him honestly that I wasn't sure if I could handle it, I wasn't trained in a lot of things that Jason was. Well, he told me that if I agreed to be trained, he'd raise my wages to $10.00 an hour for 40 hours a week guaranteed. So, now I am a lurch. Do I stay at a job that I can hardly stand but will finally be making enough money to pay off my massive medical bills, or do I go and leave this job in favor of about a $7 to $8 an hour job, where I'll be behind in a lot of my bills, but most likely be happier? It's really a hard decision and something I've been mulling over all day. I know I agreed today because he put me on the spot, but I'm not so sure that I'm qualified to move on to such an advanced level in the newspaper business. It's not what I graduated as. So, I guess for now I have to get the advice of my family and work through it the best I can. Hopefully I'll know by the end of the week exactly what direction I need to let my life go...

Well, with that heaviness out of the way, I'm pleased to say that I'm over half done with my Gryffindorf scarf and I hope to have it finished by this evening once I buy another thing of gold yarn. ::smiles:: It looks very kewt and is quite warm to boot! I'm also going to try and pick up about a yard of gold material and some orange piping so that I can work on making part of Rikku's bikini top during the week. I'm a little short on cash to buy the vinyl I need for the straps of the bikini, so that will have to wait until next week depending on where my job goes. So much rides on this choice, it's really scary...

Quizzy Time for today comes as always from Quizilla.com. I was in a Final Fantasy mood obviously and decided I'd take a slightly different FF quiz...

Which Final Fantasy Villian Am I?


You are Kuja!
Self reliant. Secretive. You lure your enemies
with
your sophisticated shyness. They trust
you.
With that smile you get them every time.



Which Final Fantasy Villian are

You know, I tend to end up as either Kujasama or Edeasama... ::chuckles a bit:: But usually I'm Kujasama. I guess I should give the thumbs up to any man who can run around in his outfit and be okay with it... ::smiles::

LotR news for today, I want to thank Tessasan for e-mailing me last week and filling me in on what Academy Award TTT was nominated for. Both she and I agreed that Aragorn definately has to get "kingly" on the Oscar peep's butts since TTT REALLY got screwed out of a lot of awards nominations! I can only imagine what will happen next year with RotK since that's much more "acting" based than it is action based. Maybe that will finally get Peter Jackson the recognition he rightfully deserves, ne? Oh, and maybe some of the actors will actually get a nomination the next time around. I swear, the Oscars are SO biased...

Well, that's all for today, minnasan. I'm still feeling slightly troubled over everything and to top it off, I think that my chest has pneumonia, which is why I haven't been on-line the past few days. I can hardly stay sitting up and breathing without being in pain. Anyhoo, domo arigato for 4090+ hits, sign my guestbook onegai, and ja ne for now! =~.^=V
