My Face

My face is all swollen up, I itch all over, I have a fever and just generally feel really really ICKY. I'm so disappointed, I probably won't get to go to any Halloween party at all. I mean I guess this could all go away before then I mean I have Thursday, Friday, and most of Saturday to get better. Maybe if I take all my pills exactly as directed, drink lots of water, get lots of rest, and eat soup and really healthy foods I'll be fine by Friday. I kind of doubt it though. Besides I really want ice cream, I don't want soup. Ice Cream Ice Cream Ice Cream!
Angie got me on that craving, she promised to take me out for ice cream for helping her clean, then she didn't. I didn't particularly want any at the time, I'm not really big on sweets most of the time. Now I just can't stop thinking about it and how yummy and cold it is.
I should probably be in bed right now, but I have to take a pill in an hour. Besides, I haven't painted anything in awhile and I finally picked my brush back up tonight. I kind of like what I painted so far. I like these two new ones a lot better than the last few I've done (I didn't post those, they suck).

Hair

Ok, I finally took some pics of "Hair"






I was getting a little frrustrated because my lighting is always so off, so I scanned it. It doesn't even come close to fitting on my scanner, so I only got the face. Usually when I scan a pic the color is truer to life, not so this time. The yellows don't really show up, and the reds aren't as diverse as they are on the painting. I'm upset. There are these highlights on this pic that just won't show up. I glossed some of it so that it would give an impression of higlights, and of shadow and light. You don't even really see the white in this one. I'm so disappointed.

Pumpkin Carving

Saturday I got up early, too early. Like 7 am early. I eventually got to nap for a couple of hours. My sweetie pie was online trying to talk to me while I was asleep, "Why doesn't he just call you?" you might say...."Well, honey bunches, I really don't know the answer to that one.". He had said something about not having a car anymore. I was like "Oh no! Does that mean no date?" and he wasn't online anymore and didn't answer the phone so I had to go on assumptions.
I almost went out to the bar with Angie, but I was hungry and she was in a hurry, and I really would have no reason to go right now except to hang out with her and to say "Bye bye." to DJ. I wonder if he has picked up on the fact that I haven't been there for a while even though he made sure to tell me, several times, which days he would be there for the next couple of weeks .I also just didn't feel like dealing with the drama.
So, I figured I would be at home all night. I thought that it wouldn't be that big of a deal for me to go ahead and eat hotdogs and sauerkraut. That stuff just totally destroys my stomach, but it tastes so awesome. I don't know why though, I mean it sounds so nasty. Rotten yucky shredded cabbage, but you put some mustard and ketchup and a hot dog on that stuff and DUDE! It's the shizznit. ( I can't actually get away with saying that out loud, it just doesn't sound right coming out of my mouth. ) Anyways, so there I was with this incredibly messed up tummy ache and then I find out what he meant was "Hey, I sold my cars and went to go get the new one." Which is why he didn't answer the phone, he was out buying a car. So I was like "Ok, well, let me find some Tums and stuff, and I'll be ready to go in a bit."
We carved pumpkins. My hands smelled like pumpkin all day and all Sunday. They actually looked really cool because he had this pumpkin carving kit, otherwise mine would have looked retarded or something. We went to the mall to get some other decorations and stuff. Then he cut these plywood tombstones and we painted them, they looked so cool.
OMG, he was all cutting wood with a power tool right in front of me. Wood, power tools, saw dust, man... Drool.
Then after all of that we started watching Hudson Hawk with Bruce Willis. I haven't seen that movie in a long long time, had even forgotten what it was about at first. We ended up falling asleep before it was over though.
My back was killing me when I woke up. It hurt so much, but at least it was just the sharp scattered pains that mean I slept on an uncomfortable surface, and not the other kind of pain that means I'm in for a real treat every morning for the next few months.
Hmm...I really don't want to end on a sour note. The whole weekend was just so great.
I mean, he's so sweet. He's so cute. He's so...

Compatibility Tests

Ok, I've been dying to try one of these, but I didn't know anyone's signs or anything, so I didn't- Until now.
OK, he is a Leo and was born in the year of the sheep. I'm a Cancer and a Rabbit.
From www.ofesite.com
The Rabbit's best friends are Sheep or Pigs. Their mortal enemies are Roosters.
Sheep - Love as true and blue as the day God made it. Their shared interests, mutual respect and understanding make the Rabbit/Sheep relationship all the better.
From www.astrology.com.au
Both of you take life very personally, probably more personally than you realize. Your feelings and your pride are easily wounded by criticism or lack of appreciation from the people you care about. There can be an unusually warm loving bond between you, though your temperaments are quite different. Leo is very proud and wants recognition, appreciation, respect, and love from a partner. Cancer wants to be needed and desires sympathy, tenderness, and emotional support from a partner. Leo has difficulty accepting and expressing needs, sadness, or weakness, and is uncomfortable when Cancer expresses doubts, insecurities, weaknesses, or moodiness.Leo is the more dominant of the two of you and is likely to take the lead in your relationship - which is fine with Cancer, who has no need to be on top.
From www.astrology-online.com
Usually this is a good combination, since the Moon (Cancer) reflects the light of the Sun (Leo). There is a lot to be said for these two, especially if Cancer will be happy reflecting the admirable Leonian personality. Leo's huge heart will soon forgive the moody outbursts that Cancer shows from time to time and which result from the strong influence of the Moon, Cancer's ruling planet. Cancer more than any other sign, responds to the moon's aspects as it moves swiftly through the zodiac.

Friday

OK, I was at Angie's house helping her move all last night and all today. Yes, I'm still sick, BUT she needed my help and I just couldn't so "No". I was so tired when we got done that all I did was clean out the bath tub, take a shower and go to sleep.
I was so tired because the bank called me back at 9:30 AM to tell me that Wal-Mart said the purchase was correct. That I did spend the money there and I did get my merchandise. That woke me up real quick. I think I had like 4 hours of sleep. I tried to go back to sleep, but all I could think about was how ticked I was and that I had to call Wal-Mart now and bitch them out. Actually she said that I would have to go to Wal-Mart and take the bank letter with me, and have them look it up in their system. SO, I was thinking I had to go there.
I got out of bed like 10 minutes later. I told Angie what was going on (she answered the phone so she was wondering), go something to eat and drink (habit), and realized I could probably just call them (duh). I looked up the number and Angie realized I was about to call them and thought it would be a better idea if she called. I guess she didn't want to hear me bitchin' that early in the morning. Now, I know that I sound really mean when I'm about to call some place and complain. I know I say stuff like "I'm gonna be all 'You best be givin me back my money right fuqin now ya bastard.'" but it's not like I'd actually say that. It's not like the person I'd be talking to had anything personally to do with me not having my money, so I wouldn't really use that kind of language, plus I wouldn't start out with that kind of attitude. That's why I take so long looking up numbers, got to have a few minutes to calm down and think about what I'm going to say- or at least up to a point. So, I don't see why she was all "I should call them since I'm not all upset about it and won't be all mean." BUT, then again she was quite a bit nicer than I would have been. Ok, as I was typing this, I called Wal-Mart back and gave them my ATM number so they could look it up. After a few minutes they called me back. They show that the amount I was TRYING to spend there was way less than half of what I was charged, AND that the transaction was voided, canceled, ended, caputed, finitoed... That I should never have been charged for it, and they have NO idea how my bank can sit there and say that they said that it went through. Now I have to call the bank AGAIN.

I had to clean the bathtub because we were having a little problem with our drains and the seal was broken under the toilet. My grandpa fixed it all, I helped him replace the seal, and he somehow got the wax all over the bathroom. The tub was the worst. All this yucky sticky wax all over the place. I begged my mom to either clean it out or ask my grandma to clean it out before I got back from Angie's because I knew I would be tired and sweaty and dirty... I knew she wouldn't do it, and I really didn't want my grandma to go in there and have to bend over to clean that out, so I wasn't really expecting for it to be all clean when I got home. I had a date though and was really really hoping someone would take pity on me, especially since I was helping Angie move all that stuff and clean and everything, and my mom wasn't helping at all even though an awful lot of the stuff left over there was hers.

Anyways, I went to sleep right after I took my shower. The guy I had a date with was supposed to meet me online before coming over, since I wasn't sure how long I would be at Angie's house. I logged on and left my stereo on kind of loud so I could hear when he sent me a message. Angie was on my computer checking her email and stuff right before I went to sleep. I kept hearing the sound I have set to tell me someone logged on and the sound to tell me I had a message. Everytime I heard it I was like "Who is it?" but it was always this other guy. Then I fell asleep completely. I had this funky dream (I'll tell you about it later), and I kept hearing that sound "Message for you sir." (Monty Python ) but I was so tired and stuff that it took me awhile to get that I wasn't dreaming it. I finally dragged myself out of bed and over to the computer. He had sent me like 15 messages. It said he wasn't online anymore . He had said something really sweet too. I sent him a message. He sent me one back! He was online! It was kind of late, but not VERY late, so we decided to go out anyway.
He gave me a Beanie Baby bat. Then he was like " I really like you." and I was like "I really like you." and then he was like "You're so beautiful." and then I was like "" and then it was like "" .
Now I really do have to tell everyone else ""
I'm happy.
