In my effort to find LJ icons, I ended up making a slew of my own. I'm probably going to spend most of tomorrow finding more stock images on the internet that I can use to make icons. This is really quite fun. And it's mindless, which is something I need. Mindless Photoshop goodness that isn't solely color correcting. Although color correcting does ( Read more... )

Dinner with Brennan, VIcki, Jamie, and Kurtis rocked. We ran by my house after because Vicki wanted her Battlestar Galactica. We ended up looking at some of my more... racy pictures before running off to Jamie's to swim. At Jamie's, we swam and then played ITG for a bit. I left because of work this morning.

Work is... Arg. I had fun dressing up ( Read more... )

I meant to gush about the Chicago Bears coming to Banner yesterday, but I forgot. I also don't have a happy enough icon to express my joy over shaking Devin Hester's hand. Devin Hester. DEVIN FREAKING HESTER. I was excited, but not as much as Kate. Kate was freaking out. Otherwise, yesterday was boring ( Read more... )

Shackled; Vertical Horizon

For so long my life's been sewn up tight inside your hold
And it leaves me there without a place to call my own

I know now what shadows can see
There's no point in running 'less you run with me
It's half the distance through the open door
Before you cut me down
Again
Let me introduce you to the end

And I feel the cold ( Read more... )

I'm dead tired. Really. I spent five hours in the pool on Saturday and Sunday for divemaster skills, and now I feel like I got hit by a horse. Of course, part of that is probably because I stayed up until 11:30 to read the last HP book. Yeah, I'm a dork. It was a good ending, I have to say. She wrapped everything up very nicely. I'm just not too ( Read more... )

Because Life rather does demand the eventual death of the main character in my own personal drama: Me. I might be dead. I'm so tired. And my legs are dying. I played DDR for about two hours after I got home from work, which was pretty lame. I got there at 7:00 again. My day was so long. Brit frustrated me again. I understand that she needs her ( Read more... )

I'm too tired for this, so I'll keep it brief ( Read more... )

No, my family is definitely NOT hip to my jive. Well, more my stupid car than my family. I have to get up at 5:30 tomorrow so mom and I can drive dad to the train station in Buffalo Grove. THEN I get to go to work at, like 7:30. Which means, technically, that I should get off at 4:00. Will I? No. I'll be stuck working until 5:15 just like I did ( Read more... )

Well, not too much whining. I don't want to whine so much as I want to rant, but the reasons that make me want to rant are kind of my own doing. So I really have no reason (or right) to rant. I'm just tired of trying to become a Divemaster. I'll tell you: being one of the youngest divemasters out there it's really hard. The youngest you can become ( Read more... )
