zouzounakiSo, what have I been up to the past couple of days? Certainly I haven't been keeping up around here like I usually like to, so I apologize for that. My sister came home from work early on her birthday (Thursday) because she was feeling ill and now it seems as if she's got the flu, which is bad news with her immune system and worse news in that it seems to have moved into her lungs. She lost her voice and could barely speak (and no bratty little sibling comments about that, heh!) and really just wanted to have a lie down. We celebrated what she called her birthday de facto the next day, watched a Psycho sequel (don't ask--they're her favorite movies, obviously the original Hitchcock but also the really crappy sequels made in the 80s), The Invisible Man Returns (I've seen many a classic Universal monster movie but this one was just... boring as snot!) and The Invisible Woman (not boring--quite fun, in fact!) I made her a lovely cake, if I do say so myself, especially because I'm crap at baking and have never attempted angel food cake previously.
Thing is, on Friday, I woke up all... wrong, and was even prepared to pick a fight with my sister, which she seemed to sense and we almost got at each other. Luckily, she went to the grocery store with my brother, I had a good cry at nothing, and I felt better afterward. I can't tell if I'm getting sick or if this is the work of that dastardly Tranzene, which I've lowered the dosage on again and I'm suffering quite a bit of withdrawal from. We had a good day of it anyway.
And then today, well, I finally went to get my glasses replaced. For anyone who doesn't know, my glasses fell apart. And my spare pair were ruined when my sister's dog dragged me face first into a nearby brick wall. Well, I twisted them back into something resembling their right shape, though that's thrown the screw off, and it was just obvious I needed a new pair. JC Penny's was running a special and though it was a scrape to say the very least to afford it and food at the same time, I was tumbled out of bed this morning and off we went to the mall before these fall apart as well. And then they told us it'll be one to two weeks. I'm assuming this is a Penny's thing as I've never waited that long for glasses in my life! So I'm struggling to keep these together just a liiiitle while longer and see through one lens that is mostly scratched up.
For fun, we had a look-see around the neighboring Halloween store. The life-size zombies scared the crap out of me and, uncharacteristically of my post eleven years-old years, I wouldn't go near them. And all the women's costumes were sexy this and sexy that. Rolls eyes. If I wanted that, I'd just go to X Mart, thank you very much! Though they did have this awesome V from V for Vendetta costume and I wants it now! I seem to have totally lost my train of thought and I'm just babbling now 'cause I'm tired and I'm feeling a bit... Well, it can only be described as 'oogie.'
The moral of the story? Er, don't get overpriced porn costumes at Halloween stores when you can get them directly from a lingerie store? I know I had a point at one point... xP Or, I like to think I did. And it's really, really depressing to post a meme and get no responses. That's a completely separate point, but still a valid one. I think I'll go lie down while I can fool myself into thinking I'm still ahead!
Peace, Ghani

on 2009-09-27 12:40 am (UTC)TWO WEEKS!? Yeah, that seems excessively long. O_o But that just means you'll appreciate the crap out of the glasses when you get them, I guess. ;)
V costume! I encourage that. Because V is vivacious, virile, voracious love. :p
And... you posted a meme? I didn't see it! I still don't! What am I missing?
Oh, and I love that icon, LOL!

on 2009-09-27 01:32 am (UTC)I will indeed appreciate the crap outta my new glasses, LOL! They're so pretty, too; I'm so happy with the frames that I picked out that Ann actually let me get something that was a little out of the price range of the sale (we just made up the difference) because they fit so nicely! They've got a bit of the... John Lennon thing going on with the round lenses!
The V costume is so awesome it's ridiculous! I couldn't help playing with the mask every time we passed it because, for a fairly cheap costume, the mask was unbelievably well made and faithful in design to the last detail. I'm usually extremely feminine and frou-frou on Halloween, I love being girlie, but I so want that V costume now! Of course, there was also that Daphne from Scooby Doo costume I've been wanting for ages, too... I'm kind of trying to make my costume mostly homemade, like I have for the past couple of years, just because of the money issue. And I have a pretty good one lined up. But, I'll tell ya, if I have some extra cash near Halloween...
It was just a little post of text asking to post a picture in my comments that reminded the reader of me, and I think it just totally got overlooked; I tried to make the typeface bigger but my journal style doesn't support that and I can never tell if I'm making it too big or even smaller! I just deleted it before because I didn't want to seem desperate for attention, but I think I'm going to repost soon now that I've oh-so-subtly pointed it out, LOL!
Hee! It's my new favorite icon evar! I watched and became mildly obsessed with Garth Marenghi's Darkplace a while ago (where I first fell in love with Richard Ayoade--Saboo--and Matt Berry--Dixon Bainbridge) when it was on Adult Swim and never realized that Julian Barratt was in it, and that Noel guest starred! So, naturally, I'm re-obsessed! Oh, I'm such a hopeless whore of a fangirl! Hee! And I love it, I'm such a slag!
And how I love Howard with the kittens! The one on the left is Philip--awwww, he's got small eyes! Luckily, this wasn't an otter in a bib day! xD There was some potential disaster when we realized we didn't have the money to pay the cable before the end of the month but crisis was averted by making our brother pay what he owes us for living his lazy ass here for so long, mehehehe! xP

on 2009-09-27 12:56 pm (UTC)Halloween this year is going to be me dipping into a costume I bought years ago that I haven't worn yet. I got a Little Red Riding Hood getup, and it's actually not hyper-sexy! It's sort of modest! So that's gonna be me this year. My niece wants us all dressing up, so it's gonna happen. :p
And I posted in your meme! My picture was too big! LOL!
HA! Good for you getting some money off you bro! You both deserve that for what you put up with from him. So there. ;)

on 2009-09-27 04:29 pm (UTC)Mehehe, my brother finally found out that that cushy "free" broadband he's been enjoying costs us lots and for the first time has directly contributed. He was surprised; I hope he remembers it in the future.
And, and I know you'll appreciate this because I've talked a little with you about Ann's Psycho obsession: my sister is the only person on Earth that I know of that would be delighted that she got two Norman Bates-themed birthday cards, one made by me and the other her co-workers! xD

on 2009-09-27 05:20 pm (UTC)LOL, "free". Yeah, I hope he does keep that in mind!
HEE! That's awesome, and it sounds like she managed to have a good birthday regardless of everything else. :D
