Why I sigh

Personal junk, things I think are funny, sad stuff, happy stuff, just my life as I see it + lots of dreams. (Disclaimer- Not everything that appears in this blog is 100% accurate.)

Friday Night

I went out with Angie Friday night. Back to the bar. No idea how long it's been, have to look through the blog and find out. It was ok, we played Rummy for awhile. I asked the DJ (not THAT DJ) to play some StaticX and he did, he also played some Staind for me, but denied having any Linkin Park, then played one of their songs later on. Then we got bored and went to the other bar. They had a band. It was cool. Didn't get home until after 7 am, slept on a couch for a few hours, had a massive hangover.
Blah.
Not that I totally hated going out. Just ... bleeeh.
Bored with the place I guess.
Might go do something tonight. Dunno though, I think THE PLAN was iffy.

Need sleep.
OMG!
Can't believe I didn't mention it yet!
I was really tired and went to sleep (eventually), and had a funky funky funky dream.
Ok, here's like an overview of what happened yesterday to explain parts of the dream-
I got home, from going out Friday night, and I was tired but not tired enough to be able to sleep so I played on Neopets for a while. I was playing games and noticed that one of their ad games was gone, but was so tired I didn't NOTICE it notice it, ya know? Angie and Connor were here and, of course, I had my MP3s playing. Connor was in the living room watching Spongebob Squarepants (I didn't want to know the words to that song).

Ok, now the dream, it's eerily similar-

I was sitting at my computer playing on Neopets and listening to MP3s and I noticed that one of the games was gone, then I started looking at the games to see what they replaced it with and saw this thing that looked like Spongebob, only it wasn't yellow it was like a dark grey. Then I was like "Noooo, man not Spongebob." And Angie was like "Ha, ha. I bet Connor would like that game though." Then I heard some people talking(whispering and I couldn't hear what they were saying at first), a man and a woman, and then it got so I could understand bits and pieces and one of them was like whispering that they weren't sure but they think it's that cartoon (...{there was a loud pause like they were trying to figure out how to describe it}...). Then I wondered who was talking and woke myself up.

I didn't have a headache when I went to sleep. I had one when I woke up though. Kinda sucked. First one of these dream in awhile, and it was a little different than the norm. I was just saying how glad I was that so far with the headache I've been having I hadn't had any of those dreams.
Doesn't that just totally suck? I really don't like those dreams and was all thinkin maybe they went away. I knew better though, kinda. I mean it's the same kinda thing with the "Brain Damage" posts from awhile ago, only in reverse- when I think something really bad- nothing bad happens, when I think something really good, it's BAD. Not that it's all that bad I guess, just annoying and frustrating and freaky.
A while back I googled dreams, voices, and something else trying to find out if dreams like that have some sort of meaning or if I'm the only person in the history of the world to have such funky dreams, and found this forum about paranormal stuff. I mentioned it somewhere around here...I was on the site and I read all these posts about people actually hearing voices when they are fully awake, they can understand what's said, and the voices are mostly people they know, blah blah blah. I had never gotten a response from other boards when I posted about dreams, so I went in with a "what if?" scenario like "What if the voices are not anyone you know, you can't understand them and blah blah blah?" I didn't say a thing about what actually happened, of course everyone thought I was talking about something that happened when I was awake and blah blah, again I didn't get any kind of decent answer to anything. I am beginning to really dislike forums, I have only really ever found one that I like. So then yesterday I googled myself cause I wasn't at home and couldn't remember the addy to get to my blog, my blog was no where in the results- all I got were those stupid forums posts. Now anyone that googles me will probably think I'm some crazy person. I'm so upset. Oh wait. Was anyone thinking I was sane to begin with?

Thanksgiving

On day we had lots of food, but we needed tons of food. We ran out of veggies first, then noodles, stuffing, and mashed potatoes. The only left-overs we have are desserts and turkey. I wanted left over noodles, but I was happy with having turkey sammiches. YUMMY! I doubt there's any left now, still tons of pie and stuff though.
Anyways, I got up, showered, dressed, and went to help in the kitchen. My help wasn't needed. There were already like five people in there cooking and cleaning. They had everything covered. The kids were outside playing in the snow, we had probably about 7 in the yard and on the porch, and snowballs were inevitable.
Around 2pm people started getting antsy so some of them started eating before everything was done. Finally the mashed potatoes were done (last thing) and so I made a plate for myself. There wasn't anywhere at all to sit, 'cept my bedroom, and that'd be like anti-social or something. I think I changed seats like 5 times because whenever anyone left the room for like a second their seat was stolen, no biggie, I was stealing seats too. Then like 2 hours later people started leaving. James ended up not bringing the baby over, well, he did, but he didn't bring him in the house. Baby Thomas was here though. Oh did I mention that two of my cousins had babies recently? The third is due next month.
Ok, back to Turkey Day. The clean up was horrible. I don't think all the dishes got done until almost midnight! Surprisingly my grandpa didn't hide any ambrosia this year, guess he didn't need to though, it hardly looked touched. Usually it goes really fast and people are trying to take it home with them.
No one brought green bean casserole. We just had regular green beans and they were the only veggie we had. Hence running out of veggies first.
all in all 'twas a pert darn decent day.

OOPs!

I was going through some stuff and accidentally broke some links. I tried to fix most of them. However, some of the posts I made that had broken links became too messed up to try to fix. Sooooo, I deleted a couple of posts.
Don't worry.
They were all rather old posts, they were all picture posts, AND I will be redoing them.
If you don't like the picture posts, then you can worry.
The reason the links got broken?
I was adding emoticons to my Photobucket album and it said my album was too large and to delete some pics or upgrade. While I fully intend to upgrade, I'm gonna wait 'til next month, so I deleted and went a little overboard. Now I have more emoticons, and can do this-
And this-

So, it's not all bad, is it?

Happy Turkey Day!


Happy Thanksgiving.
I totally slacked off this year and only made a cheese cake- cherry cheese cake. No cookies, no candies, no green bean casserole. We already have pumpkin roll, pumpkin bread, pumpkin pies, turkey, ambrosia, and apple cobbler. We will wait until around 9 am to finish the turkey, make the noodles, mashed potatoes, veggies, and stuffing. Hopefully the people that are sworn to bring foods actually do. Hopefully everyone leaves early, but not too early to help clean up. My grandpa keeps getting out of bed every hour to check on the turkey, and grandma probably isn't sleeping all that much either. Some years they swear up and down they aren't going to cook, they aren't having a dinner, just a small turkey for themselves and that's it. Then everyone shows up anyways. Some years they spend most of the day in bed, just too tired to deal with everyone. I really hope this year isn't as hard on them.
Ok, that's depressing. It's supposed to be-
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!
Yay! Yay!
We have tons of great fattening foods and a ton of people coming over to eat it with us! Yay!

Headaches

I know I keep posting about headaches, but it's just that they won't go away. I have a bag of ice on my head and I'm about to take some tylenol substitute for it, but I know it won't do any good. Ice helps the other headaches, not this one, and I've been taking "tylenol" for a week, to no avail. I think it's partly stress, or tension, because the other muscle relaxer I used to take helped a lot.
Ok, I seriously do have to go now, because my eyes keep closing and I can't find the keys anymore.

I editted to say what I meant by I couldn't find the keys. I had the bag of ice on my head and couldn't look down at the keyboard (my typing sucks) and I couldn't quite remember where most of the keys were. It's kind of frustrating when you keep hitting the same wrong key and your head hurts so much all you want to do is go to sleep.
Also-
I keep talking about these headaches and acting as if I never had bad headaches before. They were really bad starting at around 13 and were bad until I was around 18 or 19. I mean so bad I couldn't stand sound or light or movement. All I dreamt of was a bed full of soft fluffy pillows to bury my head in. Then they changed. They were pretty much normal headaches. They didn't make me sick, I didn't have a problem with light or anything else. Over time they became less and less frequent. I had maybe 3 or 4 years of almost no headaches. When I did have them they were nothing to complain about.
Then in early 2003 things changed.
I had a headache from late December 2002 or really early January 2003 until April. I think it was like 3 and a half months. Every single day. Every second of every day. I would take things for it, and nothing helped. They made my whole right side go numb. I could hardly sleep at all. It was bad. Really really bad. Then suddenly they stopped.
No reason.
They just stopped.
Then no more headaches until I hit my head in June. Still, those were different, they were more like 'I-hit-my-head-really-hard' headaches. Then a little while after those stopped these headaches came back. It kind of freaked me out. I thought they were all gone, then BOOM! There they are again.
Now they come and go.
I'm seriously dreading the numbness. It's freaky. I had a little bit of it last week, then it went away.
All I want for Christmas is no headaches, think Santa could swing that one?
