The Girl Behind the Curtain

[Deadly Nightshayde]

I've always loved blogging. And I'm a bit of a camera whore. Only I don't like to take pictures of myself, so you won't find many of those here. There are much more interesting things in this world than my crazy face.

Anyway, here you will find some of my favorite pictures, my daily goings on (when stuff worth mentioning happens), probably a few rants. Movie and book reviews if I ever get a spare moment to sit down and finish watching or reading something. Basically, whatever I feel like.

Party Shmarty...

Company Christmas party tonight.
Excuse me, 'holiday' party.
Run by Jews.
Can't call it a Christmas party even though 99% of us who work there celebrate Christmas instead of Hanukkah.
Not exactly looking forward to it...
These days I don't have much motivation to impress people whose opinions don't matter to me in the slightest.

Pics of the latest ice storm coming soon.
When I find the disk to load the camera program onto this new hard drive.

Yada Yada Yada

Skipped the party.
Played hooky. cool
Stayed in and read Romeo and Juliet. Again.
I'm on a serious Shakespeare binge at the moment.
Shakespeare In Love was on the movie channels the other day.
Good movie.

Christmas this year promises to be eventful.
Christmas eve we always go to my aunt's house and Christmas day we go to my grandparents.
I see my grandparents every weekend, but I only see my cousins and aunt and uncle on major holidays. Even though they only live about a half hour from me. Whatever, we don't have much in common, other than blood. I have about a million great aunts and uncles that I've only met like once, but only two first cousins and their parents. My dad has just the one sister, and my mom's an only child. Except not really, but she was adopted, and doesn't keep in contact with her birth family.

So anyway. I'm pretty sure my cousin C is pregnant.
And no one in the family knows about it yet.
It says she is on her myspace.
She'd been joking about needing baby stuff when asked what she wanted for Christmas, but then said she was only kidding around.
Yeah. Right. I knew then it was a possibility.
And then her space confirmed it.
She's been wanting a baby forever. Married or not.
She is currently 20, and not.

She's the dramatic kind that would just LOVE to make a baby announcement on Christmas.

Shakespeare in Love is an amazing movie.
Your cousin sounds similar to a couple of mine.
But my family is huge.

I'm not sure if it means anything to you, but I read your wall of text and I completely understand certain aspects.
There isn't anything I can say or do to make it any better for you.
I've had a similar problem before, myself. It isn't easy learning where you stand and how to act about it. In fact, it (forgive me for using the term) broke my heart.

I'm sure you understand how I felt.
That was several months ago, going on 2 thirds of a year and I'm still feeling it now.

All I can really do is wish you the best of luck and hope you work it out.

Merry Christmas.

aww poor deadly*hugs*
i understand what your going through, i was there in that place once. she was chatty and abit wild, where i was quiet and kept to myself most of the time but she helped me be more open n understand respect to women n know not everyone is untrusting or heartless.
just like you we were extremely happy together but both felt it would end.
*sigh* n then it did end, and it didnt get any better after that either.

but hey doesnt mean to say you two would end terribly ^_^ enjoy every minute like it would be you last....oo and keep alil suitcase packed up incase he arrives in your driveway honking his horn n a bacth of roses in his ohter arm, to take you away xd

Thanks guys.

I'm a hazard to myself.

So, I was sleepwalking last night.
How do I know?
All the light fixtures in my room are missing their bulbs.
Yep, they're nowhere to be found.

Chalk that one up alongside spreading towels out across the living room floor, being found multiple times, fully clothed, holding my pillow in the bath tub, hoarding N64 controllers under my pillow, and being found asleep on the roof, in a laundry basket, on the hallway floor, and on the floor of my sisters' room.

haha rofl lolz- reminds me of my sister, we had to put bells on the doors so we knew when she was making her sleepy-escape. Although, sleepwalking is generally a sign of high stress... ? Perhaps there's something else going on that is causing this for you. But I'm not discouraging the stories, keep 'em coming!- they're funny as hell. biggrin  

[Dr4g0nH34rt]

lmao omg id love to know what else would happen next time, even thought its not really a good thing go around sleepwalking.
dont know why but i just imagined the next time you go sleepwalking you bring a dog home n you lay tins of dog food on the floor spelling dog, haha

Pregnant Cousin Update

It's true. C is pregnant.
I met her boyfriend on Christmas Eve.
Surprisingly he seems like a really decent guy.
C hasn't been known for the wisest of choices when it comes to her taste in men...
But this one definitely shows promise.
He's uber excited about this baby, which is a good sign I suppose.
He seems very sweet, and definitely cares a lot for my cousin.
So I've given myself leave to be happy for them.

I hope it lasts, I really do.
She says this one is different, and for the sake of their child I hope it's true.

The One With All the Pics

My literally screwy elbow.
Inside:


Outside:


Yeah. I got copies of the x-rays. They were too cool to pass up.
Morbid? You bet.


My eye:


Me and my cat:


I didn't know my mom had the camera, and I was talking as she took this picture, so that's why I have such an odd expression on my face. I don't have any other pictures of myself on the computer so this will have to do for now xD.

Hurray for Insomnia!
(No sarcasm intended.)

It's 4am. Can't sleep. Old news.
So I come downstairs, get on the compy.
Sign onto AIM.
And guess what.
The Boy is on.
So we start talking.
You know, just arbitrary chitchat.
And then I heard the best thing I've heard in awhile.
"I miss you a lot."
"I want to kiss you."
That's not the good part. I mean, it's good.
But it's normal. It's usual. I'm used to it. I expect it even.
...
"Like, only you."
...
It's the first time he's actually put it like that.
Into words.
Only me.

 

[Kitaliah_x]

Oh, that's really nice from the boy.
3nodding
The photos are really cool, what'd you do to have to get Screws put in your elbow?
&& I hope for your cousin's sake that the man she's with turns out to be as nice as he seems to be.
