25 Random Things About Me
I did this because I was bored. Enjoy!
1. I eat M&Ms by color, from "worst to first". I start with brown (worst)and end with yellow (first).
2. My gateway drugs into the world of robophilia were Star Wars and Disney's The Black Hole.
3. I have never seen ET in a theatre.
4. I've been a cat person since I was four.
5. My idea of a perfect party is pizza, Pepsi, good music and my friends.
6. I have never had an actual haircut. I have only gotten my hair trimmed.
7. My favorite color is yellow.
8. My favorite vacation spot is wherever BotCon is.
9. I don't like expensive jewelry.
10. At most, I own three pairs of shoes: work shoes, casual shoes and "dressy" shoes.
11. The last time I wore a dress was during the formal dinner at OTFCC 2003.
12. My idea of celebrity is completely different than everyone else's.
13. I only have the television on as "background noise". I rarely actually watch anything.
14. I am a collector at heart. Always have been, always will be.
15. The most relevant part of the newspaper to me is the comics.
16. I enjoy a good action movie. I do not want to sit in a theatre and feel ways about stuff. Just give me explosions!
17. I enjoy bad jokes and terrible puns.
18. At one point in my life, the only things I watched on TV were animated. To this day, I still enjoy a good cartoon.
19. I have never been a fan of Billy Ray Cyrus.
20. I've been through enough hurricanes to know that I never want to go through another one again.
21. I cannot stand horror movies. Sure, I can watch them... then my brain won't shut off when I'm trying to sleep. Having an overactive imagination sucks.
22. The hotter the shower, the better.
23. I have a collection of notebooks that are filled with story and book ideas.
24. I have been a crazed Milwaukee Brewers fan since Prime took me to my first game three years ago.
25. One of my favorite channels is the Weather Channel.
And that's it. Hope you enjoyed. And if I get bored again, I may add to the list.

In the Doldrums
Been feeling really down today. Just really, really down. Of course, how the heck am I supposed to feel here considering the news I got yesterday? So guess who showed up today, just like the guardian angel he is?
Prime and I went to BK to grab some more of the ROTF kid's meal toys; this week it's Ravage and Bumblebee. So--Bumblebees!!
If I didn't see the pattern before...
--Weasel, "Yeah, it'd be pretty obvious by now."

The Man in the Mirror
I talked to my mother last night. Nothing terribly Earth-shattering, except this:
One of my aunts died suddenly. It happened this past Novemeber. She was fine in the morning, but when my uncle came back from work she had been dead for several hours. No one is really sure what happened.
Because of this, one of my uncles has decided to open up a restaurant. He's never been the type to take risks, but he's willing to start chasing his dream now. He figures he doesn't have a hell of a lot to lose, economy be damned.
I'm ready to start taking a few risks of my own. I'm thinking I don't have a lot to lose, either.
I started a fanfic last month. I'm giving myself until the end of this year to have it finished. Plenty of time, I'm thinking. After that is done, completely edited and as perfect as it will get, I'll start on something bigger.
I'm going to try and start on a manuscript. Fuck it, I'm going to take the plunge. Really now, what the hell do I have to lose? Better to at least try and chase my damned dream than sit on my ass and do nothing.
Here's hoping I don't screw it up too badly.

About Last Night...
Well, more like "About Yesterday", but I digress.
Yesterday was our little roadtip down to Madison to see ROTF in IMAX. It was a fairly uneventful, except towards the very last leg of the journey. More stupid road debris, what appeared to be pieces of a truck tire. This time it cost us a back tire. At least it wasn't the damned front windshield, thank Primus.
I wasn't able to take too many shots of the theatre; I got maybe two good ones. But I'm not complaining too much. I was there for the movie.
And what a movie it was. Prime summed it up best when we watched the last of the credits: "Critics are morons." For those of you who haven't seen it yet, I won't spoil it. But it's safe to say that if you enjoyed the first, you'll enjoy the hell out of this. (I'd write a full review, but I refuse to act like a film critic. I watch what the hell I like, dammit.)
We didn't stay in Madison long; once the movie was over we headed back home. But we did stop at a nearby convenience store to get some more air in the donut that is supposed to be a spare tire. That wasn't all we got. I (finally!) found the Snickers nouga-bot bars. I grabbed four. (Haven't eaten them... yet. I intend to savor them and save the wrappers. So much cute yellow goodness.)
But oh yes, much awesomeness. And I want to go and see it again.... and again.... and again... and.....
