Hey I know I haven't updated in a while...ack! Anyway, I've definitely been keeping busy with my new schedule. B/c now on top of work and the paper route I have aerobics and the gym I've been doing regularly. Then I have my religious meetings. So pretty much I have something planned every day. And if not then I usually have plans with one of my friends.

My company party is coming up Dec 2nd and its going to be so much fun! This year we will be going on a cruise in Portland! Everyone is so excited! Debrina and I went dress shopping this past Saturday and we each found a dress. They are both so pretty. I also found shoes, which are very high stilettos. haha :P I will wear these if I can't find something else before then. But they are very pretty and go well with my dress. (which is black and gold) And then after the party there will be an 'afterparty' where we will be going to some place called the crystal ballroom....I think its something like that. Anyway that will be as many drinks as you want for free! That is just how awesome my boss is! XD So I believe we will be coming back to Salem at about 2 in the morning. Oh and also the transportation will be 2 charter buses...that's right. Even our ride is fancy! There will be plenty of pictures to show for it!

Last weekend we (mandy, kayla, cassie, and me) went to Beaverton for the Japanese festival that Owagimaya was hosting. It was pretty fun. We spend about 5 hours there then we went to Portland to shop at the Lloyd Center and so the girls could ice skate. And some how we were able to stay there until a little after 10pm. I was SO tired! And my feet hurt so much! I'm pretty sure it was the boots I was wearing. I mean they are comfortable for a while but I don't think I should wear them for over 12 hours. Anyway, I bought a bunch of stuff including a Bonzai tree at the festival. It's so cute and is now sitting on my shelf in my cubicle at work. ^_^ We also got a snowcone at the festival...just b/c they had them! I mean...I think this is the first time I've seen someone have snowcones up here since I moved here. And I'm not talking about the stupid snowcones you usually get at the fair...that's so compacted with ice that you have to chizzle your way to eat it and end up knocking half of it off on the ground. No. This kind was the GOOD kind that we used to get in Alabama. Yay! Well that's all for now. I will be going to Bend this coming weekend with my friends so I will post the going-ons from that later! ^^ Oh!! And I'm getting a new computer this weekend!!! I'm SO excited! My computer now is about to DIE and burst into flames so I can't wait until I get my new one so I won't have to worry about what will work today and what will cause problems. Dane is being a great help and will be building it for me with the parts I ordered...and also installing all the media and programs I need to create AMVs and do all the stuff I want. Yay! Ok...I gotta get back to work... Later!

Ok! Kumoricon! yes... It was a lot of fun! Most of our weekend was sucked up into the panel and skit preperation though so thinking back on it, it doesn't seem like we were there very long. hmmm....I got a good amount of pictures. As far as video footage goes...well...my stinkin' video camera broke on the first night we were there so we have close to zip of anything recorded. T_T It was a freak accident but its sad we couldn't use it at all. It's also sad b/c its MY video camera and now I have to worry about getting it fixed....or something... Bleh! Our NOTN panel was a success in my opinion. I mean as far as a panel goes and what is expected to go on there...it was good. :P We had a full room. Our skit was a major success!! We won for best skit! Then Anime Hunters won for best show! It was an awesome evening! Afterwards we celebrated with pizza!!! Man was I ever out of it! So tired!! -_- I never got to wear Kairi, Ino, or Roze mainly b/c the middle day (skit day) I was stuck in Rukia (which isn't even one of my costumes...we just makeshifted my Hinamori wig for a Rukia wig) all day. Then I actually WORE Hinamori for Monday (last day). On the first day I wore Lee so Terra could wear Ino and then I wore Hinamori b/c I didn't think that I would not be able to wear my other costumes at that time. ^^; Ah well...it's not like I've never worn them before or don't have pictures. I'll get updated pics at Sakuracon. Oh! And we got to spend most of our time with Dane and Zack, which was a blast! Also meeting new friends. Everyone was so nice! Anyway...K-con was a lot of fun! Yay!

Babsy and I went to the Oregon State Fair yesterday after I got off work and we had a good time. We don't really go for the rides, instead we like to walk around the booths and buy stuff. haha The rides are so expensive anyway. We went to those picture booths and got 2 strips of 4 pics. I love them! They are so funny! Babsy is going to make copies so we can both have both of them. Then I will put it up on myspace or something. After that we hit the Italian Charm booth!! Yesssss! Babsy and I are addicted. XD They had a 4 for $10 so I got 4 and Babsy was going to but she could only find 3 she wanted so ah well. The ones I got: Phantom of the Opera, a pink butterfly (like my tatoo, haha), all of the disney princesses on 1 charm, and then a best frinds one that Babsy and I got the same of. We also went and saw some of the animals they had there. They were having a horse contest. The kind where its 4 fancy horses pulling these fancy wagons. Yeah...that was pretty cool. I believe we were there for only a few hours but it was a nice evening. ^__^

I know this update is a bit delayed for when it happened, but I wanted to be able to upload these pictures along with this entry.
This last Tuesday morning (8/22/06) at about 12:30pm this crazed guy threw a huge stepping stone through my bedroom window...while I was sleeping. I woke to the sound of glass exploding across my room. It was terrifying! I got out of my bed and since the floor in front of me was nothing but glass now, I crawled over the other side and called my mom and told her what just happened. I was barely coherent. Then I called the police who responded within about 15 or 30 minutes. Mom and Jim (my stepdad) got here about the same time the policeman did. The cop talked to me and my neighbor, who saw the guy who did it, and after he wrote down his report he walked with me to my manager's house and asked them if they could come board my window up. I'm glad they were able to do that right away b/c anyone would have been able to come in and steal my stuff. So for the past week I have been staying at my mom's house and only sleeping at home after my paper route before I go to work. Which is only about 2 hours or so. The thing is that had my bed been facing the other way this stone probably would have hit me, no doubt seriously injuring me or killing me. Not to mention the fact that I would have been showered with huge shards of glass. I came out unscratched since I was under the covers. I'm lucky, I know. I'm pretty much over the fear of going in my bedroom now and I've started sleeping in my bed again. I was sleeping on the couch at first. They have now replaced my window and my room looks normal again. ><;; Here are the pictures:

Would it be strange for me to say I want to rewind my life to like 10 years in the past? Back to where my life made sense and it wasn't just a ball of stress and a feeling that everything is falling apart around me...

When will the tears stop? Even when I'm not crying some one else who I'm close to is. It doesn't matter where I go or if I do try to get away from it. I'm effected no matter what. There is no running from it. And I just don't know what to do anymore or if things are going to get better...

loooong days at work (12+ hours) and then the paper route....for a month and a half....who thinks I can do it? x_x

I'm now back to work from my vacation. I spent 10 days in southern california. It was a lot of fun! ^_^ The highlight of the trip had to have been going to Disneyland for a day. It was awseome! The best part being Fantasmic, which we waited for 2 hours in advace to get a good seat. It was just Tim and me. :D My favorite ride was Space Mountain. We went on it twice. It's so much fun! It was sooooo nice to be able to sleep however late I wanted and NOT have to worry about doing the route! You just don't understand how nice that was. haha Not once did I wake up out of habit at 3am thinking I had to get up. Now I'm getting back into the swing of things here and I'm already feeling myself being sleep deprived again so soon. Bleh. One of these days I will be able to quit the route for good. We have our company picnic coming up this Saturday so I'm looking forward to that. :) And now Kayla, Mandy, and I are preparing for Kumoricon. We have a lot to get done in just a short month. The time is going to fly I'm sure!

Hey! Just trying to get things set up here and everything. I will update soon when I have time to sit down and write an entry. ^^; Later! <3
