Zephyr, Meet Everyone [07 Nov 2009|08:00am]
[ mood | tired ]
[ music | N/A: Grey's Anatomy on the laptop. ]

Been a month since I posted last. Mostly that's because of my stupid computer. It crashed about a week into October and took a week to have fixed. Then when I brought it home from that, I plugged it in and it immediately crashed again during bootup. -__-;; So I took it back in again. Two more days and it was fixed a second time. I plugged it back in... and this time my monitor died. >__<;;

Picked up a cheap monitor from goodwill to do until I could get a decent one. Brought that home. Plugged everything in. MOUSE DIED ASDGH;KL. Worked a little with a half-working mouse. Then, last night, COMPUTER CRASHED YET AGAIN. TT~~TT

Welcome to my nightmare the last month. -_-;; Ugh. Anyway, like $500 later and the PC was back in the shop this afternoon. Then Mom and I were at Walmart (getting business cards for me to print up and a new mouse) and happened to see that they had mini-notebooks on sale for like $340 + tax. So, already $500 of repairs and replacements later, I made the decision to scrap the old desktop and just get a new laptop.

EEEE MY FIRST LAPTOP~ AND IT'S SO TINY AND BLUE AND ADORABLE~~ <333 ...I don't know how to do hearts on this keyboard. >>;

So the guys at the repair shop are going to just copy my documents folder onto discs and I'm getting rid of the desktop all together. Teeny laptop ilu! :3

More update tomorrow or whatever once I've finished setting up everything on Zephyr (my old PC was called Tempest, I name them after grouchy winds for a reason lmao) and got some sleep because I am ever ever so exhausted today for some reason. Even my laptop glee can't make me stop yawning. :P

EDIT: Also, the only reason I could afford it was because Mom fronted me the money. I'm so broke right now I have bill collectors on my ass for the first time in my life, and it makes me a sad panda. ;-;

Massive Sales Post [02 Oct 2009|03:37pm]
[ mood | accomplished ]

So, I've recently moved, have precisely zero storage space, and am in need of money! So after much debating, I've decided I have no choice but to sell of some of my (extremely extensive) Sailormoon collection (I've been collecting since 1996. Haha.) This post has what I've decided to sell so far, including a few rare pieces that took me a long time to get my hands on. There may be some added later on too, since I've still got half of my collection to organize. ♥

Prices are listed below the pictures, and everything is in USD (feel free to haggle or make another offer if you want to try.) Shipping will be calculated on a purchase-by-purchase basis. I'm in Canada and will ship anywhere, but of course overseas will be more expensive. :)

And finally, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PIMP THIS OUT!

IMAGE HEAVY. )

Then I also have these two things, if anyone was interested;

Two more. )

x-posted, sorry if this shows up a bunch of times on anyone's flist. ♥

Telemarketers Cause Health Problems XD [01 Oct 2009|09:52am]
[ mood | amused ]

This is really long, but it made me laugh SO HARD. Not because of the crazy bitch and her ranting, but because of the telemarketer. I mean, we all hate telemarketing calls, but still. This guy is my new hero for how he reacted to/handled the situation.

Also, there's a new pet store downtown. Sarah called the other day to tell me about it, and today I wandered down to have a look, since it's the only one in walking distance. It's nice to have one close so that if I need something and can't get a ride way the hell out to Walmart I can just go downtown.

Anyway.

I should know not to go into pet stores by myself. ~_~; I replaced my beta fish (Teal suicided a few months ago; the new one is called Ciel and I shall be putting cling wrap over his bowl so he won't jump out too), and now I need to think of a good name for another bunny. Am leaning toward Pepper, but I keep thinking that's too close to Pauper, and they would get confused. @_@;;

*facepalm* I'm so utterly, utterly hopeless.

P.S. They had chinchillas too! >w<; AND SNAKES AND FROGS AND LOTS OF LIZARDS AND AND AND AN ALLIGATOR! ...there is a possibility I'll have some money coming in in the next couple months, and am seriously considering getting a ball python. Assuming I can find a store that sells pre-killed mice, because I would NOT have the heart to do that myself.

UGH. For like the last two weeks there's been this guy calling almost every day, and he calls and asks for me, and then when I reply "speaking" (which is how I always respond if I pick up the phone and someone asks for me), he goes "you're not [Sena]." And when I go "um, yes I am" he goes "well you don't sound like her."

The conversation is basically that every single time, and it's not a voice I recognize. He even left a voicemail the other day saying "Hey [Sena], call me." A VOICEMAIL, I MIGHT ADD, WHICH HE HAD TO LISTEN TO THE MESSAGE I RECORDED FOR. IN MY VOICE. SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN MY VOICE IN THE VOICEMAIL MESSAGE AND MY VOICE WHEN I ANSWER THE PHONE.

ASDGH THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY. >__@;;

For Those Who Care [20 Sep 2009|04:02pm]
[ mood | tired ]

A semi-decent update for those of you on my flist that are wondering how I'm doing aside from ZOMG eel creatures and OMG lampwork heart pendants.

Mom's surgery is coming up on the 25th, and it really kind of snuck up on me. The whole family is really stressed and worried right now, and Mom is making herself sick with being afraid that when they go in to do the hysterectomy they'll find something more than the tests have shown so far. I know we should all be trying to keep an optimistic outlook, but it's proving to be hard, especially since Grandpa just died of cancer three years ago. The whole thing is keeping me up at night a lot, and I won't feel any better about it until after the operation when the surgeon comes and tells us everything is fine.

I moved a couple weeks ago as well; to a little apartment downtown. It's not much (I'll post pictures once it's more organized), and pretty small, but it's mine, and I love that about it. Besides which, for one person (and cats/rabbits), it's a fine size. The only problem is that I have too much stuff. >>; It's been a nightmare trying to figure out how to fit everything in, and that's even after two vanloads of stuff having been taken to the goodwill.

When I first was moving in, the place was a mess. The kitchen still needs to have a really good cleaning with bleach, but other than that it's tidy enough I can put up with it until everything's unpacked and settled. The bathroom was DISGUSTING. I should have taken some photos to show you the before and after. Grandma actually came down on the day I moved, and rather than helping with the move itself, just locked herself up in the bathroom and scrubbed the shit out of it for HOURS. It's still terribly stained, but not actually dirty anymore. I don't think the previous tenants cleaned the bathroom once in the entire time they lived here. -__-;; Ugh.

Right as I'm typing this, the girly bunnies are in the kitchen having playtime. Unfortunately, until I got the kitchen organized enough that they couldn't get into things they shouldn't, they couldn't have time out to exercise-- it's been about three weeks since they were last out of their cage. I feel guilty, but there wasn't much I could do, since the kitchen is the only place here I can let them out at all. Now I can though, so we can get back into the regular routine of daily romps.

In November, I've got a table to sell things at the Christmas bazaar in Bracebridge. So I'm selling some jewelry there, as well as some jams and jellies. Grandma brought me six freaking baskets of crab apples when she came down, so I'll have TONS of crab apple jelly. (If anyone wants some, let me know and I'll set aside a jar of it for you.) It'll be the first time I've actually sold something I've cooked/baked so I'm really kind of nervous about it. Hopefully it'll go well.

Also, some time in the next couple days I'll be posting a massive sales post; due to space issues and the fact that I'm in desperate need of money, I've decided to sell off most of my extensive Sailormoon collection. I have a few really rare items, so fingers crossed. Also, if you know anyone who might like to commission a pony or something from me, please point them in my direction.



...because of everything that's been going on, I haven't been online much. Most of my time has been designated to doctor's visits and the move/unpacking. Honestly, I'm starting to get really weary of it, and I'm feeling... downtrodden. Just sad and gloomy. I miss being on AIM and talking to people, and blogging about nothing. But until the end of the month I just won't have the time.

EDIT: Maddie needs monies too, so go check out her etsy shop:

EDIT #2: I'm watching The Evil Dead II right now while I'm organizing things, and the girl's head just bit the guy on the hand, and he's flailing and screaming and smashing said severed head against walls and books and desks and whatnot, and I am LAUGHING MY ASS OFF. XDD;;;

It starts here, at about nine minutes in:

Pink Butterflies [17 Sep 2009|05:07pm]
[ mood | calm ]

So a couple weeks ago I bought a bunch of beads and pendants off ebay. Yay. \o/ In the stuff I nicked were two pendants for my Grandma; one was a butterfly with pink sapphires, and the other was a lampwork heart with a blue-and-pink butterfly design inside. (She loves pink and butterflies.)

I got both of them because I couldn't decide which would be better for her, and planned to ask Mom when they came in. I figured either way, I could find something to do with the one left over. SO. The pink sapphire one came in a couple days ago. The heart one came in today... and it's MASSIVE. Like three times the size I thought it was, and I know Grandma wouldn't wear something that big.

I guess my decision is made. XD;; *fail* Now I have to think of something to do with the lampwork heart. Hmmmm...

The Way Things Work Out Sometimes LOL [05 Sep 2009|08:25pm]
[ mood | amused ]

Mom and Lee stole my cat. Literally. =/

Tanya dropped Chasca off this morning, and then this afternoon when Mom and Lee were over Lee saw her and FELL IN LOVE. Now, he used to claim not to be a cat person. But the way he fawned all over this kitten was hilarious.

Anyway, turns out Lee has been talking about her ever since, and I was just on the phone with Mom and we talked about it... and they're going to take her. It's kind of funny actually. XD;; They'll probably name her something other than Chasca, and since I've only had her here for about 12 hours she doesn't know the name anyway. Apparently Tanya used to call her Tubby because when she was born she had a fat butt. xD;

It might seem strange that I'd be so willing to give her away this fast, but honestly, the look on Lee's face when he was petting her? He probably wants her more than I do, which is saying something. And I know for a fact they'll take excellent care of her and spoil her rotten. Plus I'll be able to see her whenever I want anyway. ♥

Haha, I'll have had a cat named Chasca for about 24 hours!

Maybe I'll look for another kitten at the shelter once I'm done unpacking and settling everything around here. ♥

At The Last Minute [05 Sep 2009|12:52am]
[ mood | busy ]

Was at my apartment today long enough to have the Internet guy come and install everything. Then tomorrow is the bulk of the move and all my furniture and everything is being moved, as well as my computer and the last of the boxes.

The cats are staying at Mom and Lee's place for one more night after that to give me time to organize a bit without them getting into everything. Plus, I'm hoping that if the new kitten is there for a day before them it'll help with Neko's territoriality issues. >>;

Speaking of, looks like I'm naming her Chasca. (SH-AH-S-KAH.) Amana came in a close second though. ♥

...

OMG so tired already. 8D;;

Insert Name Here [03 Sep 2009|12:11am]
[ mood | calm ]

I am getting another cat. A friend of mine's cat got out of the house and ended up pregnant, and had a litter of kittens and has one left that she can't find a home for, and she can't afford to keep her. She's an adorable white girl with a bit of black, and one brown eye and one blue eye.

I'm going to have to scrimp and save to get her spayed in a few months, but at least she won't be going to a shelter. I'll have to find things to sell and get working on ponies and jewelry.

Anyway, I need help picking a name. I've narrowed it down to four, so everyone on my f-list gets to vote to decide what I should name her. ♥

It should be noted for those who don't know, I have an obsession with naming cats after deities. I already have Loki, Triton and Neko (whose real name is Osiris, "Neko" is his nickname and the only one he actually responds to. *facepalm*)

Poll #1452531 Name For A New Kitten ♥
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 19

What should I name the new kitten?

View Answers

Yemaya (African goddess of waters and rebirth.)
4 (21.1%)

Chasca (Incan goddess of dawn and twilight.)
10 (52.6%)

Sedna (Inuit goddess of the sea.)
3 (15.8%)

Amana (South American goddess of creation.)
7 (36.8%)



I like them all, but am leaning toward Yemaya because it can be shortened to Maya, which I think is a cute name. I do think Chasca would be kind of fitting because the kitten has one dark eye and one light eye, to go with twilight and dawn. But I seriously can't decide. XD;;

Clannad. ;~~~;

Just watched the first 9 eps, and because I'm a sucker and already emotionally unstable as it is, cried my way off-and-on through 5 to 9. Fuko's story arc killed me. I was the same way with Makoto's storyline in Kanon though. (The 2002 version of her story got to me more than the 2006 remake for some reason. Still.)

Now it's almost 7am and I'm emotionally drained and probably will be able to fall asleep this time if I go lie down. I fail Maddie, sorry! I tried to sleep a few times and it just wasn't happening. XP

Three Days Grace [29 Aug 2009|06:45am]
[ mood | exhausted ]

Ahh~ two more days until I can pick up the keys for my apartment! That's not a lot of time! D8

Gah, I'm completely out of boxes and still have more to pack. But on Monday like I said, I'm picking up my keys, and then on Tuesday morning Mom is dropping me off before she goes to work. I am taking cleaning supplies just in case, and will spend at least until noon there because the Rogers guy is coming to install the Internet between 8am and 11am.

When I moved out to room with Sarah, I didn't get the 'Net installed for a few days after I moved because I didn't schedule it until after I'd moved in. I went NUTS without Internet access for that amount of time, so this time I made sure to schedule ahead of time. XD; IDK I WIN?

...whoa, the sleeping pills just hit me WHAM right this second. @_@;;

Moving is expensive. -_-; I'm more than broke; Sarah even gave me $100 (tldr; she got a bunch of money from ODSP because they were underpaying her, and wanted to share the wealth, so she gave $100 to everyone in the family) and I still have no cash. She gave it to me today when we picked her up for groceries, and I spent it all, and all but $10 on things related to moving/stocking up the kitchen/cleaning supplies/etc. I did buy myself a plant (twisty bamboo!) and one pack of beads.

But once I'm settled and have all the basics in the house it should settle down. *fingers crossed*

LMAO had a massive The X-Files marathon yesterday and last night. XD; Almost all of the fourth season. I skipped a couple eps that I found boring originally, but I watched most of them. ♥♥♥

EDIT: OH, and I got some stuff for packages for Steph and Mari today. Kraft Dinner comes in different flavours now. ._.;

Five Points [24 Aug 2009|12:16am]
[ mood | calm ]

Hokay... entry after a freaking month. Life ate me up and spat me out and I'm still completely stressed out and messed up about a lot of things. Suddenly everything just exploded. I guess when it rains it pours, right? Anyway.

1) Otakon: I'm hoping to still do a more in-depth entry about Otakon, but for now here's the brief version; Air Canada sucks, the hotel we were in has the most gorgeous lobby ever (me and Pronnie did an epic photo shoot there~ ♥), meeting everyone I hadn't met before was AWESOME, and seeing Maddie, Chloe and Michelle again was as well because I MISSED THEM TERRIBLY. IN FACT, I MISS EVERYONE TERRIBLY AGAIN. ;A;

The first day we went to the aquarium, and I gave myself heatstroke. That night we did pre-reg. The next day was the first day of the con itself and I was so sick from the day before that I pretty much didn't do anything but lie around and feel miserable all day, until around 1am when Maddie finally forced me up and dragged me out for foodz. (A good thing, really. Thank you Maddie. ♥) Saturday I did BOYS!Riku cosplay and totally forgot to take pics in it. *facepalm* Sunday was Dealer's Room day and I spent way too fucking much money. YAY ANYWAY.

There was some drama/wank over the course of the weekend, but that's all I have to say on the topic.

Like I said, more detailed post to come, probably tomorrow or the next day. Also I'll post some of my fav photos from the trip then, but for now there are a few in my DevART if anyone is just dying to see them.

2) Dayton: After Otakon was a 12 hour bus ride to Dayton. -.-; At least the bus wasn't crowded, so we all got to stretch out and be (semi) comfy. I stabbed my own foot on the ice pick on my cane though. *facepalm* Slept on the couch at Maddie and Chloe's place every night except one (thank you guys! ILU!) and me and Steph stole their kitchen a couple times to bake and cook. :3 Chloe made us yummy salmon sammiches and okanomiyaki (um, I think that's how it's spelled? XD;;) that was FABULOUS too.

Went to the Dayton Celtic Festival while Steph and Mari were visiting Rei in Detroit, and also to the Dinosaurs Alive! exhibit in Cincinnati with Chloe's Mom, which was so much fun YOU HAVE NO IDEA. I GEEKED OUT SO HARD CORE OVER THE ANIMATRONICS. >w< When Steph and Mari came back we went to Jungle Jim's too, which was awesome. And one day we all went out and did cosplay at the mall (Chloe had to work though D:) where I cosplayed Elena from FFVII, and BOYS!Riku so I could take some pics.

More in-depth on all that in the next post too, I swear.

3) Mom: Okay, after finding out that Mom had cancer I obviously freaked out a lot. Not to mention stressed myself out to the point of having painful stomach cramps and acid reflux so bad I couldn't lay down every night the last three weeks. But Mom went for her MRI a couple weeks ago and when the results came back, it turned out the specialist was right and it's just beginning stage cervical cancer.

So basically, she's having surgery (a radical hysterectomy) and that should cover it. She shouldn't need chemo or radiation therapy or anything afterward. The operation is scheduled for the 15th of next month, and then she needs 6 weeks off to recuperate afterward.

Obviously, I'm still worried and stressed about it. It's a massive operation; they're removing all of her womb, her fallopian tubes and ovaries, some lymph nodes, all of her cervix and a portion of her vagina. I know it's done routinely and it's nothing to really be worrying too much over, but I can't help it. I won't feel any better until the 15th once the operation is over and she's awake and everything's okay.

4) My Surgery: Went for the mandatory class last week. It was three hours long, and seriously, I didn't learn anything I didn't already know. Oh well. I have two more appointments before I can have the operation at the beginning of the new year, one the first week of September, and then one in October at some point. The one in October was originally supposed to be on the 17th of September, but got pushed back because of Mom's surgery on the 15th; hers is WAY more important than mine.

5) Moving: ASDGH I HAVE AN APARTMENT!! X3!! SO EXCITED! It's downtown, and one bedroom (though I'm not using it the typical way) and it has a kitchen and a bathroom and dsnhaguidfh I don't have to share with anyone but my cats and rabbits! X3 GAH, but I only found out less than a week ago and I'm moving in the first week of September so I'm kind of scrambling to send in the paperwork to ODSP and get everything squared away and all my stuff packed. Still. ♥♥♥

Steph and Mari: Still working on packages for you guys, but they've had to be put off a little bit because of the move. Expect them in October some time, probably. ♥
