lucy; pluto is a planet in my heart

Household chores = my day. Yay? I've been spending loads of time with the two dogs, mostly because...home alone. I'm the only one around to take care of all the pets. It's time-consuming. Usually there are at least three, if not four, of us to go around. Incidentally, I am normally in charge of the cats. Litter boxes, feeding, brushing, that sort of thing. It is apparently less labour-intensive, but I knew that. Cats don't really need much to do their own thing. Dogs really, really do.

They also enjoy licking me and making me go HNWKATJWERTW NO STOP DOWN. And then they lol at me with wagging tails because they do not ~believe~ me. D:

In short, family bonding time with the pets? It's only the third day and I feel kind of lonely, though, even with all of the animals.

Blaaaaaaah.

I need to go be productive in new and innovative ways.

Which means working on a Lit presentation (fun times? Actually yes, because I like powerpoint :D and dressing up. I am dressing up regardless of whether or not I am supposed to, okay). Aaaaand one more walk before it gets too dark.

( And then the entry goes on to ramble about chores, nostalgia, and Annie. )

Because when don't I copy Lari and her memes?? :P

( bnw cupid thinger )

Slow going catching up! Sort of. I was VOLUNTEERED to help out at our town's annual fair thinger majig, but, uh, I don't mind too much actually? Or at all? I am apparently getting paid in food. Since it's by my mother mostly. Also, they always have really good food. ...Why is there a theme? But yeah! Food and me. Theme for life.

Also, I kind of enjoy dressing up in ridiculous outfits and manning (womanning?) a booth!

In other news, we're buying lots of stuff for Annie's dorm! And apparently, despite being the older of us, I am going to her sibling day (which is traditionally younger sibs), but that is a-okay with me because I enjoy our bonding. It's so much better than when we were little and biting off one another's heads every five seconds.

Also, the plant I bought at last year's fair is still alive. :D It's on my dresser, by the window, and I am so proud of myself just now it's ridiculous. Granted, I can usually keep plants alive barring the cats EATING THEM (wtf?), but still! Happy times.

And I also am signing up for courses still. For next semester, I mean! And we watched this utterly lame video at work about unions (the FECA act?). WE NEVER DO ALL THE COOL HIGH FIVES AND STUFF THEY DO IN VIDEOS.

Why is that what I'm focusing on? Because I'm me.

Apparently I want to do cool group high fives?

Screw the phone people/computer people. I have fixed it.

I'm sure of this, because THIS time I waited a full day, staring at the net, to see if it would disappear.

...Or, rather, I had my sister do this while I was at work, since I...was at work. And she wasn't.

...How will I catch up.

Uh, yeah.

Our internet not only did not work for the past...two days? It seems so much longer - but I've also been called into work to pick up shifts. Both days. What the hell, people who call off. So even if it hadn't given a death rattle, I don't think I would have been on. Like, at all.

Clearly I fail at life. :/

Tomorrow, regardless of home net status, I will be on, given that I am going to use the wireless internet of the library if nothing else. Things will definitely be done then, mostly because I am determined to not fail and also am ignoring my phone/work if they even try to get me to come in.

Although I will not be on for like, two hours in the evening. FIREWORKS.

the phone guy lied. Except I DID have internet yesterday!

...while insanejournal was down. My life, what.

Library computer, you know the drill. KATIE, I am responding via gmail. ...ELLIE KATIE, NOT THE OTHER KATIE. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY KATIES.

Okay, have to catch up tomorrow with rp stuff! We did a pool day.

...My family is sort of crazy when we go out. Huh. I was amused, though!

k that's all. Sleep now.

Good news: I THINK our internet is fixed now. Phone dude said so, and phone dudes don't lie. Except when they do. I AM KNOCKING ON WOOD, OKAY?

Bad news: I jinxed it last time. ...Which isn't really new news, whatever.

Update: I do not work this weekend, but my cousin & aunt are still here - but I should be good for tags! I am so amazed I don't work it's not even funny.

Next week: EVERYONE is coming out! Grandad turns ninety. It will be amazing and awesome. Also, I get to see the twinnnnnnnnnns. Who are little baby cousins I just got, omgyay!

Okay yeah. I would do more but right now I am entertaining the cousin & aunt - I just thought I'd update you all on my happenings. Which are fascinating, I'm sure.

Randomly: our dog takes things out of the sink and moves them. Doesn't do anything to them, just...puts them in other rooms.

Wtf?

Also I cannot for the life of me find my second pair of glasses.

And also my life when I have no internet goes like: video games, books, family. Basically, this time? Final Fantasy xii, some Star Ocean, a lot of random tours with the family in town (idk, I didn't go on a few because I've seen them too much!) and then I read some Terry Pratchett. Which is always fun.

Also I cleaned.

And now I have to run, oops.

At the risk of jinxing it, our internet SEEMS to be working again. I'll get in tags tonight if so!

I'll do some comments now.

However, I am going to see Transformers 2 with my cousin in a bit, so. :D

WORK ICON.

Also: our internet is on the fritz again. Say hello to the library computer.

This doesn't mean I won't be online, but it does mean I'm not going on aim. Also, I won't be on a whole lot until it's up again. Well, not AS MUCH.

Also, family is in town!

k that shift was tiring. this is what i get for not sleeping much.

also my cousin + aunt + uncle are in town so i am going to a bbq later today after i wake up again.

also i will tag this entry later

night

This post is useless! I just wanted to share this icon with you all.

ORANGE ANGST.

/okay I've had too much soda clearly.

Apparently when Sally-Anne is upset she calls people by their full names. I think she would throw out his middle one if she knew it, honestly. Usually SA will just pretend to be happy when she's upset, but I'm fairly certain Eloise is a line that you just shouldn't cross. I imagine if anyone made fun of her looks when they were younger they got a flare of this particular emotion of Sally-Anne's - although she's just being supportive and IT WILL BE OKAY, ELLIE with Eloise, while bitching out Wayne separately.

And she's so, so serious about the howlers it's not funny. She actually threatened him a lot more than I thought she would, but she was very unhappy about the fact that Ellie was crying, and so Wayne just gets to deal with SA being rather determined in a less than cheerful way.

Yay him?

Of course she did all the yelling without any swearing. Although I imagine she used a lot of really ridiculous stand-ins, ala "my giddy aunt" lines.

TO DO LIST:
Make BNW lists. HI EMILY. I AM SERIOUS ABOUT THIS. Although I might be tired tomorrow idk it depends on the customers and the amount of stuff people give to me to do that they are supposed to do!
TAG THINGS. ♥ Like, ij tags, not rp tags.
RP TAGS TOO THOUGH.
Finish yearbook stuff wtf. Paul needs to do things.
Figure out where I put my dvd player remote. ...Again. I am always losing it, this is sad.
Also make fruit salad because I want some.
But first buy the strawberries for that. And also bananas.
Bother Lari about things.
Also probably Jillian.
And anyone else who is on. 8D
I also want to make those awesome chocolate cookies omgggggggg.
Watch the last star wars movie and COMPLETE THE MARATHON. Which isn't really a marathon since basically that would be all in one go but WHATEVER DICTIONARY DEFINITION, I DEFY YOU.

Instead of doing any of these v. productive things tonight, I uploaded icons. LIKE THIS ONE. PAUL MUCH? Also now all my characters have icons so they are pleased, although Ella no longer feels ~special~. And I am now going to bed.

OH WAIT. So I was talking to one of you the other day about spider solitare, and how I am addicted but fail hard, and I think you went lol I'm sure you're not that bad.

HAVE LUCY'S SPIDER SOLITARE STATS.

Games: 350
Wins: 53
Win percentage: 15%. [UP FROM THE THIRTEEN PERCENT IT WAS STUCK AT FOREVER. HA, SOLITARE. shit I just jinxed it didn't I. D:]
Longest winning streak: 2 [...]
Longest losing streak: 48 [...I don't know why I keep playing sometimes, honestly]
Current streak: 1 loss

SEE? D:

Okay! Tags in logs done. Now working on cdj comments. Then working on character comments.

I AM MAKING PROGRESS.

Update: do not feel as badly, but also am exhausted and sleeping now.

Just letting you all know I am alive.

Tags will come tomorrow in order of logs (from the ones I tagged least recently to most recently) and THEN comments, because otherwise I will get distracted so, so hard. And also I will not be on aim until I do the logs.

Re: Sally-Anne & the trial. Yes she was there, and she would so be there for Ellie, THANKS SO MUCH WAYNE. :[ and I will respond to my journal comments/baby things later I swear!

Re: ...I can't remember if anyone else asked me something, I just glanced over the flist. And read about Malfoy relationships.

Oh right. Re: Neville. Em & Kat, Eddie apparently gave his journal back with a comment that made him more creeped out about Sylvie (Lari! ...I think he's just scared of her in general, though, we know this) so yeah. He'd have mentioned that.

Also I will update EC journals tomorrow.

MY TO DO LIST WILL BE DONE.

Mostly because I don't work. So.

Also I really am loopy on meds, wtf was with my last entry. I forgot punctuation on one sentence. :[

Um, and because I'm a sheep? What patterns do you associate with my roleplaying? (For example, with Harry Potter RPing, this can include things like gender, house, blood status, physical details, PBs, family, personalities, eras, specific characters, etc.)

And because it is true: If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist, and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the Internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

And now I'm going to sleep. wtf work. We have been crazy busy mostly because they cut hours and now we have like, three people to cover and entire freaking store.

I hate it when corporate tries to get Smart. If they want to cover the store with imaginary people (or imaginary estimations of our ability to be in five places simultaneously) I THINK THEY SHOULD DO IT THEMSELVES. OKAY?

And also if one more customer yells at me for not having that shoe in THEIR SIZE I will possibly explode with guts and all. Or when I am expected to understand wtf shirt they are talking about from "you know, the one that comes in all the different colours. It was in your ad!"

WELL GEE THAT NARROWS IT DOWN.

...I'm done complaining, I swear, bed now.

I am sick to my stomach so I am going to bed and tags will be done when I wake up from the nap/medicine

I think I ate something bad, idk. Or I have the flu.

Also I stubbed my toe.

And this is incoherent probably but medicine makes me loopy.

Sally-Anne really does not get what Anthony is going on about, but she did catch where he was being rude, and is a bit hurt in the "did I upset him?" sense.

Molly is apparently willing to buy plants and pretend to suck at doing things to get Colin to come over to her apartment and do them for her. And she interrupts his journal convos, unsurprisingly.

Rhiannon is forming an alliance with Colin to beat James at drinking games, and Molly does Not Approve.

AND I AM EATING A HAMBURGER. ♥

Molly really wants Vic to have the flu or something.

Because the other option she is NOT CONSIDERING, okay? Well, she did, but she's denying the possibility.

And Sally-Anne gets more cheerful as she gets less cheerful.

I am so tired, be on later maybe.

ALSO HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIEEEEEEEE.

And other people who have your birthday. I...forgot who they were. D:
