I wanted to have a little questionnaire post for me to get to know my new friends. Also for me to get to know my old friends! So, fill it out bitches.


1. Name/nickname:
2. Age (if you want.. or you could lie. I'll be none the wiser):
3. Location:
4. Give me a top five list of any subject you choose (i.e. Top 5 reasons Johnna rules, but that's just a suggestion *g*):
5. Your favourite movie, book, TV show, musical artist or band, and colour:
6. Recommend something to me (book/music/LiveJournal):
7. Do you remember on Friends when everyone had their list of five celebrities that were essentially "freebies"? Meaning if they were involved in a relationship but met a celebrity that was on their list, they could still fuck them without their partner getting angry. So, who's on your list?:
8. And most importantly.. what brought you over here? How did you find me? Why did you friend me? Etc etc:

( spoilers )

Wow. I want to go ahead and watch it again but I need to clean. Decisions, decisions.

All that worry last night for nothing! I asked Dr. Mathis if I should go to the funeral and he was like "no, that's ridiculous. You didn't even know his dad, why would you have to go?" (Have I mentioned how much I love my doctor lately?) So instead of going, I came home after the OR and took a nap and got ready for the Yankees game tonight. Now I'll just have to return the clothes to New York and co haha.

Also, Derek Jeter has a beautiful smile. ♥

Also also, I forgot to mention this on LJ yesterday but A HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO MY WONWDERFUL WIFEY etoile_du_soir!!!!

Thanks for everyone's advice.

I ran to the mall (it's right up the street) and bought a black blouse at New York and Company. And it was on sale!! I just don't do black or darker hues very well haha so I have none. I grew up with a house full of dog hair so we never wore black, and it doesn't fit my personality very well, so.

But yes, thanks for everyone's help!

In other news, FSC is re-playing the United CL match from today. So yay for that!

Gah txvoodoo isn't online so I have to post here so everyone can answer and help me.

So the father of one of the doctors in our practice passed away and the funeral is tomorrow. Not the doctor I work with all the time, but another one I cover every now and then. So all the doctors are cancelling clinic and stuff to go and I figured I would just go home after the OR tomorrow when my doctor goes to the funeral. So I talked to the PA of the doctor whose dad died and of course he's going to the funeral since he works with him all the time. So on a whim, I talked to the other PA in the practice and she said her doctor suggested that she go as well. I wasn't planning on going, but now I feel like I should, since I'd be the only PA not going.

So. Question. Should I go? And also, if I do go, how much black do I have to wear? I've got black dress pants but I don't have a black shirt. Is a little bit of colour okay? Because omg last minute and I would have to go buy something tonight and I'm tired and sick and do not want.

Post a list of 10 7 television shows (I just don't watch all that much telly lol) you watch or have watched. Have your friends list guess your favourite character from each show. When someone guesses your favourite character, bold the title. When guessed, tell us why you like that character.

1. Doctor Who - Guessed by 82317, woodsie22, and an_inside_job - The Tenth Doctor. Nine was my first Doctor but I just don't think I had enough of him for him to be my favourite. Ten can make me laugh, cry, shiver (both with fear and then with lust), and wibble all in the span of about 5 minutes. He is just The Doctor to me and no one else ever will be.
2. The Office (US) - Guessed by 82317 and an_inside_job - Jim Halpert. I've always identified most with Jim, because he's an awesome character. He's got a wicked sense of humour, he's madly in love with Pam, and he is all around a good guy. I love the way he interacts with Michael too.
3. Grey's Anatomy - Guessed by woodsie22 and an_inside_job - Dr. Derek Shepherd aka McDreamy aka Johnna wants plees. I love everything about his character. He's got such a passion for life and his work and his Meredith and he takes her with all the problems and quirkiness that she has, which is good for me because I have alot of relationship problems and I want a McDreamy. Plus, I think he's absolutely GORGEOUS, and he seems to just get better with age.
4. The X File's - Guessed by woodsie22 and an_inside_job - Fox Mulder. I don't remember why I fell in love with Mulder waaaaay back in the day but all I know is I did. He's very smart but he opens his mind to not only science but also to believe in all the extraordinary things he believes in. I also love his sense of humour.
5. Friends - Guessed by woodsie22 - Chandler Bing - Hands down the funniest character on TV. Ever. I just laugh everytime he says anything and am always constantly quoting him in my everyday life.
6. Glee - Guessed by 82317 - Kurt - I always sort of loved him before his coming out episode, but his characterization in that one episode just made me wibble all over him. Plus, I love the dancing to Beyonce's Single Ladies so so much.
7. Queer as Folk (US) - Guessed by an_inside_job - Brian Kinney - Is there anyone else that could even be considered? He's arrogant, a jackass, conceited, mostly an asshole, and I love him. He has that bad boy exterior, but there's not one time in the series where he doesn't come through and help out his friends. Plus, the way he falls head over heels completely in love with Justin just breaks my heart everytime I see it happen.

... but hopefully everyone is still around here!

• Leave me a comment saying "Resistance is Futile."

• I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can satisfy my curiosity

• Update your journal with the answers to the questions

• Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions (I'll also answer more, if asked)

I'm going to be very good and actually DO THIS meme. I think. Hopefully.

earlgreytea68 asked me these questions:

(1) What's the best concert you've seen recently? Hmmm. It's got to be the Elton John/Billy Joel concert I saw back in March. It's been a lifelong (okay maybe not lifelong, but you get what I mean) dream to see Elton John play and I've always been a huge fan of Billy Joel so I was stoked to see this concert. It surprised me just how wonderful of a concert it was. They came out and played like 8 songs together, then Elton sang for about an hour, Billy sang for about an hour, and then they played like 8 more songs together. It was absolutely amazing. They played everyone of my favourite songs and the crowd was really into it and singing and dancing (side note: I absolutely get DOWN when I'm at concerts so I love when the crowd is singing and dancing along with me. Makes me look less foolish haha.)

(2) What's your favorite Oasis song? It was always Wonderwall until Feb 29, 2004 when the Lord of the Rings won 11 out of 11 awards at the Oscars and we were blessed with Dominic Monaghan sing "Supersonic" at the One Ring party. I was in a chat room meeting my wife, etoile_du_soir and we jammed out to Dom singing that song and ever since then it's been my favourite Oasis song. Such good memories from that night, oh man.

(3) Where's your affection for soccer come from? I played soccer when I was growing up and my dad was my coach. I'm a huge daddy's girl so I always watched all kinds of sports with him, but I caught a MLS game in 2001 and realized, wow, what an awesome sport this is to watch! I found a European team to follow, the US advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Cup the following year, and I was introduced to the passion that soccer fans have for their teams. I've got a group of about 20 friends who meet at the pub every weekend no matter what time Manchester United play, whether it be 6:00 AM or 1:00 PM. I've traveled around the world and attended soccer games with friends, and everywhere you go, it just has such passion for those who follow it. My life changed when I discovered professional soccer, so much so that all the trips I've taken in the past 4 years have been centered around soccer.. I go see other things but I'm mainly there to watch a soccer game. Every place in the world loves soccer, and no matter where you can go, you can always catch a pickup game or catch a game in a pub and talk soccer to someone.

(4) What's the best thing about your job? Haha I'm one of those rare people that absolutely loves my job. I love everything about it. I'm in the clinic part time, so I get to interact with the patients and give injections and do exams, and I'm in the OR the rest of the time so I actually get to participate in surgery. I would hate to be in the OR all the time and would equally hate to be in clinic all the time, so the balance in my job is perfect. I love the doctor I work for, he's so down to earth and a wonderful teacher and we spend about 50 hours or more a week together and get along great. One day I might get sick of the long hours, but right now I am loving it.

(5) What's the best thing about Houston? Hmmm. I dunno. Alot of people complain about the weather, but I absolutely love it. I live for hot and sunny and yeah, in the middle of August when it's 100 degrees with a 100% humidity so it feels like it's 115 degrees, it might be a little extreme. But then we have amazing winters to make up for it. I love how, even though it's in the south, it's actually a very multicultural place. It's less liberal than Austin, but it's still a nice little blue square in a sea of red. There are plenty of people from other countries here, and I really like that.

Should not have watched the Sarah Jane thing. Am now crying. I really don't think I'm going to take The Ending Of Ten well at all. I thought I had accepted it and now am not so sure and omg I'm going to be DYING in December. :(:(:(

Also, saw Paranormal Activity tonight. Was very disappointed with it. Not scary in the least bit and very predictable. Bah.

Man, it's taken 2 weeks of postseason play to get my love of baseball back. Probably not the amount of love I had before Giambi and A-Rod and the leaving of Torre, and the horrible steroids crap. But it's definitely back. And we are going to the World Series baby!!

One of these days I will attend a postseason game at Yankee Stadium. One of these days.

Does anyone know of a good, RELIABLE, source to translate English words to Elvish? I'm thinking of getting a tattoo to commemorate one year of remission. I used to know this stuff when I was in the LOTR fandom haha.

Ugh. I'm so frustrated with my life right now. I want to move out of this apartment when my lease runs out in May. To do that I want to find a house with a fenced in yard for Giggsy to run around in.

To do THAT, I have to either
a. come up with enough money to pay for either a mortgage (ha) or come up with enough money to rent a nice house in a nice area
OR b. find a roommate to move in wit so I can afford a.

I don't WANT to be married or settled down. But I feel like I have to in order to have any sort of life. How do I find a roommate that won't be batshit crazy? *sighs*

Just. Unhappy. Bah.

Oh the other hand, Muse and U2 were awesome. But still, bah.

Hooray! Snow Patrol toniiiiight. I am fully expecting to cry like a baby the minute Chasing Cars starts playing.

Kings of Leon tomorrow nigh. I am going to be officially concerted out!

There are just no words to describe how good Glee is.

OH WAIT. POISON AND I WANNA SEX YOU UP? Fucking. amazing.

Seriously if you haven't seen it yet, GO GO GO.

I need Glee icons.

So MSN was being a bitch and wouldn't let my wife sign on and then she was finally able to so I got v. essited.

yanks_02: HJGASHAGGSHAGJS
etoile_du_soir: HERE I AM YESSSS!

*commences talking about various things including the "WOOPA" sound Chandler made on Friends, how hot Brian Kinney is on Queer as Folk and then...*

yanks_02: also, I just realized my keysmash said "shagshag" how awesome is that!
etoile_du_soir: LMAO, I can't believe I missed THAT

LOL good times. Haven't updated on this thing in quite some time. My life really doesn't change all that much. Still loving my job, still not really doing much. Did go shopping today for some new shoes for work and some new jeans. Realized just how much weight I've gained. Wasn't best pleased.

And that's about it. *twiddles thumbs*

Giggsy ate my bloody carpet tonight. Like.... a big gigantic hole about a whole door's width and 6 inches wide. I don't know what to fucking do with this dog. it wasn't thundering or storming outside, she just got pissed and ate it while we were at dinner.

I swear to God. There goes any deposit I might have paid. Fuck me.

Need some help deciding who to get on my jersey this year. Lot of important factors, most importantly being it could be Giggsy and Gaz's last year so surely I should get them right? Though I really do want a Roo, Vidic, and Rafael one. Though they should be around for another year or two at least (*glares sternly in Vidic's direction*) and I can get them after Gaz and Giggsy are gone. But. But but.

I should say that I will most likely get both the home and away kits this year (or possibly the third kit idk), but this decision will be for the home kit. Maybe second place will get on the black kit idk.


Poll #1447446 HALP!
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 13

Should I...

Okay so if I DO go with the old guard, who should I get?

If I get one of the newer players, who should I go with?

If you picked other above, explain here.

Thank you flist.

Got my treadmill this week. I was really lucky, I started looking on Thursday (I had been looking for an elliptical machine before but then decided to just get a treadmill to walk and run on and use the elliptical at the gym the apartment complex has) and found one I liked. Emailed, received a response back Friday morning, looked at it Friday afternoon, and they delivered it to me Friday night. It's a Nordictrack, a really nice one that prices around $1700. The girl said she bought it a couple of years ago when she got pregnant, used it for about 6 months and then has never used it since. I got it for $500 plus they delivered it to me for no charge so I'm very excited about that. I wanted a good one that could withstand running (with my weight) and hopefully won't break down in a year. Giggsy has been so-so about it. I stole an idea from papilio_luna and give her treats as she starts to get scared from the noise. Today's the first day I've really been on it and I feel so good!!




Ignore the ghetto-fabulous computer stand I have set up so I can watch movies whilst running. I need to go find something else this weekend to stand it on.

( Cut for pics )

Also, have some pics of Giggsy being retarded this past week. I said two squirrels must have fucked on our patio because she was flipping out this past week everytime she would go outside.

( Read more... )

Went to the dentist today. I have 3 cavities! I've never ever EVER had a cavity before so I was gutted when he told me. He says it happens all the time to people who have had chemotherapy and radiation. Somehow it messes up your teeth royally, which I had heard but was hoping wasn't the case. So I have to get 3 fillings done over the next few months. *whines*

Have hair appt tomorrow (it's growing back but is in that in between stage and I haaaate it), and then taking Giggsy to the vet for her shots and such. Thursday I have my 6 month (even though it's really 8 month now oops?) CT scan. Heading to Jacksonville Thursday night to hang with the fam and then 2 weeks from now I have my follow up appointment with the oncologist. Here's hoping for good luck!

Wow this entry got long. How is my wondermous flist doing?

I want Nine/Rose recs. Preferably nice hot steamy Nine/Rose fics. I was lamenting my sadness to leetje that there isn't enough Nine/Rose fics out there and she says she thinks it's because lots of people think Nine's not traditionally fanciable like Ten is. Well, this is wrong and must be rectified immediately. So yes. Nine/Rose recs plees.

Also, I need a Nine/Rose icon. Must find that today too.
