Hey YOU, you with the face that looks like Nicole! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! If I could write stories and knew a flick about Final Fantasy, I'd totally write you a story! Alas, you'll have to settle for a fighting llama!



Happy birthday, Nicole! Sorry I couldn't be there to celebrate it with you but I'll totally make it up to you. I promise!

I'm not quite sure how to put this entry into words so I apologize if it doesn't make sense. It's really bothering me though, so I feel I need to vent about it.

My sister, a Jehovah's Witness, is here in Florida with her husband to visit for a week.
I'm an atheist. I still respect her religion though and don't bring up any religious conversations when we're together.
While I'm respectful of hers, can't she be respectable of my views of religion?
She knows how I feel about it, yet she continues to push and push.
Today, we were all chatting and eating and having fun and then both her and her husband start talking about their prayers and things they believe.
While I do respect her views, is it wrong of me to leave the room? I just don't want to talk about it. I'm an atheist. I don't believe in anything. I think the bible is a book of mythology and folklore not based on real history and facts. I feel religion is a way for people to feel false hope for a higher being that doesn't exist. She knows this... but she continues to shove stuff down my throat.
I've told her time and time again... whatever she says won't sway me.
When we hang out, I don't talk to her about religion and don't try to "convert" her to atheism. Why can't she do the same?
This morning she said she was offended. I asked her why. She said it was because I have so many books sitting on my shelf yet when she gives me one of her thin religious books, I don't want to read it and t hurts her "feelings." She's offended.
Okay, so now she's trying to guilt trip me into reading her books? Oh, THEN she said, "I'm going to leave a book in your room. It's your choice what you do with it."
Well, I'm going to throw it away. Like I always do.

Why can't we just sit and talk like a happy family and not bring up religion? Honestly, how hard is that to do? And since I left the room, she'll probably 'cry' over it later. She's done so before.
Am I just a horrible person? I don't think I am. She needs to respect what my views are and leave me alone.

I just want to know why she won't leave me alone! ARGH!

I think it's the music, I don't know, but I'm going to be buying 100 bottles of Dawn now.

Song is Wash Away by Joe Purdy

My sister was put on hold when she dialed 911.

(My sister wasn't being stabbed, but come on? Automatically put on hold? What the hell?)

Either I'm allergic to Florida or I have a bad immune system. I've been getting more sicknesses(cold, flu, etc.) here in Florida than I have in my entire life. No joke. So... Florida or weak immune system? Any suggestions? Isn't there some kind of medicine I can take for the immune system?

This is the show poster/book cover to True Blood aka Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris. This poster came out almost a year ago.


This is the movie poster for Jennifer's Body. A movie that hasn't even come out yet. And I think they're still filming it.


Aren't there some kind of copyright laws or something for this? Okay, yeah, they didn't use the exact photo for the poster, but they totally stole the whole idea of it! I'm a major fan of True Blood and it annoys me to see other people ripping off their stuff. Can I report this to someone? Is it something that should and can be reported? Has anyone even noticed? I certainly have! Did they have permission to do that? URGH! I'd be pissed, as I am now, if someone stole my poster idea for their stupid movie. I really hope they got permission to do that.

Just once I'd like to call my credit card company and speak with a Mike or Sarah. Not Habib or Aadarshini. Oh, and someone that speaks English wouldn't hurt either.

Randomness: 9 Crimes by Damien Rice. Good song. Check it out.

I can't believe I spent one whole dollar and nine cents and two hours of my godforsaken life to watch the ridiculousness that is Watchmen. I wanted to gouge my eyes out. Seriously.

Lately, my family, and some friends, have been pestering me about my reading(my genre of reading is paranormal romance). Some tell me to get my head out of a book, some tell me to get a different hobby, but the one that really pissed me off was when my sister told me to, and I quote, "Stop reading about sex and actually go have sex."

First of all, my life, especially my sex life, is none of her god damn business and it offends and slightly disturbs me that she'd say something like that. And second, I don't read those books for the "sex." The books I read actually have plots, thank you very much. The romance and the two people falling madly in love is cute to me, too. And really, they're not much different from a movie. Is there a plot in a movie? Yes. Is there action and/or suspense in a movie? Yes. Is there sex in a movie? Yes. The only difference is, I'm reading it. Not watching it.

What really is bothering me though is the fact that practically everybody I know is giving me the fucking third degree about my books. What the hell is wrong with reading a book? You have your hobbies, I have mine. I like to read books. Get over it already. Don't worry about me and worry about yourself! Seriously.

And the only reason my sister said that to me was because I turned down her invitation to go drinking with her. Sorry to say, but bars just aren't my thing. I don't find enjoyment in drinking, I really don't. Well, sometimes, but not all the freakin' time!

"Oh, yeah, sorry that I'd rather just settle in and read a book instead of going to a bar, spending money I DON'T have, and getting shitfaced with you, June. Which, by the way, would lead to a MASSIVE hangover the next day. And slight amnesia of what occurred the day before. But don't worry, I'll try to be more stupid some other day. Sound good?"

Am I just overreacting here? Why is everybody bothering me about my god damned reading?!?!?!

My father's car, which was SUPPOSED to be mine, is finally mine. lol.
My sister, who "bought" it from him a couple of months ago, never paid him a dime.
LONG story short... she was kicked out of my parents house, car was taken back, daddy called little ol' me and asked if I wanted to buy it instead.

It's a $10,000 car that he wants to sell to me for $2,000. Hello? No question. I totally jumped on that offer. I already gave him $200. Nine more payments and it's officially mine. At least I gave him more than a dime though.

That pretty little Dodge is MINE! Hear me roar with glee.

I stole this from obstinate_fate who stole it from keldjinfae_moon, but I didn't see it on keldjinfae_moon's journal, which is weird, so I had to steal it from obstinate_fate, which I already mentioned, but it doesn't really matter who I stole it from, only the fact that it has been stolen and you get it.

Buahahaha, how immature is this? I'm so easily amused!

There are eight romance novels sitting next to me on my bed. They're all scattered about. Ironically enough, each cover has a man's face on it. The scary thing is, they're looking straight at the camera. So whenever I look over... I see eight men looking at me. Spooky. o.0

I met someone today that got the words 'Epitome' and 'Epiphany' mixed up. And this same person used the word 'Procrastination' wrong. I seriously wanted to bang my head on the concrete floor. And in the same conversation, I told him I didn't have a 'vindictive nature' and he asked if I was 'speaking in English.' Oh, and don't even get me started with 'Pheromones' and 'Hormones.' Please, someone, just stab me already!

Thanks, guys! I appreciate it.

Went tubing on my sister's boat yesterday. My arms, thighs, and back are sore. Poor me. ):

People in Florida, maybe even in the whole East coast, don't know what Boeing is.
Isn't it great to know that millions of Americans don't even know who makes those big white things that fly in the air that, you know, help you travel the world?
