Hm, what to put what to put…

Ok my lovelies, I have much to type about, and thankfully, none of it is ranting this time. I know, strange isn’t it? I haven’t been that pissed at anything lately.. and nothing has irked me to the point of blatant bitching. Life is indeed grand, I must say.

1st off: Lights! Camera! Action!
Quite recently, yours truly had the pleasure of meeting 2 very interesting film types. Thanks to JR, a friend of mine, I was able to take part in a scene shooting for a zombie movie his friend is doing. I played a zombie killer, which was very fun, cuz I enjoyed the badass role. He sent me the script to look over and I think it’s completely awesome. I’m definitely looking forward to doing more!
Also JR recommended me to another person who is doing another movie; something more serious and on the side of romantic drama, although that’s not quite the right category for it. I’d done a screen test with the director and the “assistant”, who’s the lead male role in the movie. I really liked the scene I read through too! The lead female reminds me a lot of how I used to act in college (Ah yes, the Before-Times)

So I’m waiting on word from both of these projects to see what’s what. Keep your fingers crossed! ^_^

And next off: Lil slice of vacation
This past weekend I went to Omaha, NE. Now I know many of you are thinking “what the ever lovin hell is in Omaha?” well I’d asked that same question myself, LOL. I now can tell you the answer to that! I went to visit my friend Nick, who lives there. Here’s the basics of my trip:
Thursday I get to this itty-bitty airport, looking around for Nick, who comes up behind me and tickles me. Heh, I almost clotheslined him when I hugged him (heh). We gets in the car and he gave me a little stuffed skunk and a thing of caramelos! It was sooo sweet! ^_^ Then we went to the mall for a bit and also to an outside mall type place where a movie theatre was. That was pretty fun, I bought something from Hot Topic and talked to the girls that were working Spencers—and gave them some pointers on Shoplifters from a Carolina perspective *evil laughter* Friday we went to the Omaha zoo. OMG this place was HUUUUUGE!! I mean ginormous! I took over 100 some-odd pictures while I was there, including some nice shots of dear Nick surrounded by a bunch of goats. I called him the “Goat whisperer” for a good 45 minutes for that one. We saw the world’s largest indoor desert, rainforest, swamp, and cave. It was definitely worth the trip, let me tell ya! Later that evening we went to the movies and saw 300…which I swear only I saw. I still think he went to sleep during some of it, hehe. Saturday was fun as well; he took me ice skating! I hadn’t been ice skating in half past forever, and then I finally got used to it so we started skating after his room mate and harassing him. Overall—though cold—it was fun ^_^ Then it was back t ohis place and movie-watching time with pizza and drinks. Yes yes, fun times had by all!

And I learned something very valuable.. they sell alcohol RIGHT in the grocery stores, Target, AND Walmart!!! This is unheard of in NC!! That was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen.. it brings a tear to me eye.. *tear* Ok, now that I’ve finished that little moment. Heh.

So that sums up what I’ve been doing lately. Tune in next time, for more misadventures! And maybe a rant or two if I get pissed enough about something.

Wow.. I really do need to keep this thing updated. Ok, yet again mass amounts of shite has happened.. again, Uber. Someone cattleprod me when I start talking about this and that as far as what I've been up to.. In fact, Jax, do cartwheels. They're fun and they remind me to do things ^_^

So then my lovelies, what I've been up to lately:

February. This was a BUSY BUSY time for me. Purgatory! OMG it was awesome!! Amazng!! Btilliant!! Beginning of the night, I had the pleasure of getting bound and swung by Black Garden rope suspension. Thanks Toby! That was so much fucking fun! There were tons of pics taken, but then again, ya got a chic with long legs in a corset, being tied up by lenghts and lengths of rop, then suspended in the air.. and yeah, you're gonna have pics taken.. lol. I also had something of a mini-shoot on the stairs. Thanks to Tsubasa and the lovely lead singer of Combihrist; you guys rocked big time ^_^ All of the shows were amazing, kudos to you all! My show went amazingly well, I'd have to say. From the feedback I got, everyone loved it! Big thanks to everyone in te show who made it possible, both onstage and offstage. I love you all. Hmm, what else.. There was just so much going on that night, and everything was so high energy and woderful, I loved it. Hands down! The next weekend I went to go see my sister in Atlanta. OMG My nephew is SOOOO FUCKING ADORABLE!!

A little morbid, but he was soo kewl with it. He was telling me about "The shadows that are in his room sometimes at night" and he wasn't scared at all about it! He told me he tells them to be quiet so he can sleep. Mind you, this lil guy is 5. I'm proud of him. And it was soo cute when I bought him a piggy bank, and Jax put money in it.. and I told him that I would put more in it when they dropped me and Jax off at our hotel. Oh believe me, he was very diligent on asking where we were, and when were we getting to my hotel. Hooray capitalism ^_^ The weekend was nice and relaxing; just the getaway I needed. Thanks Jax for comin along.

This month I think was the month for me buying things.. lol. While I was in ATL, I bought a digital camera, cuz demmit I needed one anyway,and I wanted pics of my nephew. I got what pics I could get, given the little SD card that came with the camera. When I got back and started thinking about the websites I said I needed to work on, I went and broke down--after honestly thinking about it for about 4 months--that I needed a laptop. So now I'm all in the tech-age. I have affectionately named my laptop Toshi-ni... or Toshi2 for the non-Japanese speakers, in honor of my godless bastard-child piece of shit paperweight that was the original Toshi. heh. Bitter? me? Naaaaah! Toshi-Ni is only for pic/photo editing and webpages, aside from the lovely AIM, that I must have, because AIM is like a lifeline for me. My desktop for one thing won't let me put the web design programs or photo editing programs on it again, and it doesn't run as fast as my brain creatively thinks. Also.. I needed something portable that I can hop on a wifi and work if need be.

I also bought some clothes from Hot Topic. 2 sets of underwear, pair of shoes, 2 tops, a skirt, and a pair of pants. I was pissed off and did impulse comfort shopping. It's strange how one can feel better after shopping when they're pissed, cuz I did end up feeling a little better. Any questions as to why I was pissed will have to be answered privately, heh. it's a long story and I'm sure many of you avid readers don't want to be overwhelmed. I'm sure I've rattled off enough as it is... nd I haven't even given one of my famous rants. Aren't ya proud? ...or disappointed? LOL

well that sums up my time thus far! I'll try tokeep updated as much as possible.. heh. If work doesn't kill me.

Which reminds me. I'm the new Supervisor for Spencers!! Yay Me! I have power!! and I talked to my childhood best friend, whom I haven't talked to in like 10 years. AndI got to traumatize him, that was fun ^_^

ok so a lot of shite has happened lately; tons. mass amounts of shite. Uber even. I don't know if I'll even remember it all but because I'm old as many of you know, I no known memory to speak of. Sooo, I'll do a small recap: The Renaissance Fair was awesome.. yes, a looong ass time ago but awesome! I was dressed as an Elf warrior girl. I had on black boots, black pants, a red/black leather top, the wrist..thingies.. Yeah, I told you I'm old. I just blanked on what they're called.. I'm going to go hide now.. I also had a black velvet cloak with hood and a dragon clasp that had a purple satin inlay.. I LOOVE this cloak. Bought it in London in Camden (I think everyone should go!). I also had on my elf ears reddish crimped wig and a black sash on that. very pirate-y. I got to hear things like "Oooh, mommy look at the pretty elf!" and had my picture taken with some little kids who asked if my ears were real. It's things like that.. makes ya warm an fuzzy all over. Overall, the time had was much fun. Thank you to all who made it possible! *wipes tear dramatically*

I'm also going to be in an upcoming issue of Buckle Magazine. Woohoo for me! The pics are from Buckle Ball, and as soon as I figure out what issue it is, I'll let ya guys know. If you send funds and an address, I'll even sign it for ya ;) Hey, I can't buy all the magazines myself, now can I? lol Anyhoos, the pics I saw that were being sent to go in look very kickass. Congrats to everyone who went to Buckle Ball and busted their asses to make it a success for everyone. You all know who you are. Also in the photo-ness side of things, Ishall be gracing the February Purgatory flyer. The theme is St Valentine's Day Massacre, so yours truly wore a red fedora, white shirt, classic black corset and thigh highs, sportin a nice revolver. if anyone sees the flyer and reads my journal, know that I know very little about guns, so dun shoot me if I say the wrong one. I'm a blades girl meself. Also, I hopefully will be doing a show in Feb too. so I hope to see EVERYONE out there showing the performers and dancers love!

now on to Spencers... heh. Not one.. but on TWO occasions, I had to politely educate the misunderstood and ignorant. Now, don't get me wrong, I love every one of you lovely Christians out there, and if any of you have kept up with my last journal entries of days gone by, you'll know that I went to a Private Catholic school up until High School, and my uncle heads his own church in Florida. So I grew up in a religious background and learned a lot from a lot of people, including the ordained uncle. So when I say this, it's from the bottom of my heart, and with no malice towards anyone or any belief: IF YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT YOUR OWN DAMN RELIGION WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU'RE THE FUCKIN EXPERT ON MINE??

There, I feel better now. Let me elaborate. I'm working, and this guy comes up to me and I ring him up.. then he looks dead at me and asks me if I've been saved.. and do I think I'm going to be saved. Mmm--hm. I just look at him, then he explains that he saw the satanic symbol around my neck. Remeber that entry about me having a sign? Haven't found it yet.. Tricky bastards hid it well. SO.. I explain quite politely to him that it is in fact a pentacle.. not an inverted pentagram. I tell him that it's a Wiccan symbol for protection and also represents oneness with surroundings and completeness, as the star looks like a human figure with the head, arms, and legs inside a complete circle. He then "corrects" me and informs me that it is a satanic symbol as if I dont know what I'm talking about.. and has he nerve to ask me "Now are you SURE that's what it really means?" Yes, dumbass I know what it means. I didn't join Wicca because they gave me a pretty pamphlet with pictures and a bookmark. I then furhter explain that the satanic symbol he was referring to was the inverted pentagram, which looks like the head of a goat with the face, ears and horns. his response: "I don't see it." So I went and got the LARGE pentacle necklace that we sell, and showed it to him that way.. I then said that I went to a Private Catholic School from K-8th grade, have an uncle who heads his own church in FLA..ORDAINED, and I yes, I do own a Bible which I HAVE read. (GASP! The Pagan can READ!). I told him about the COLLEGE LEVEL comparative religious studies paper I wrote in HIGH SCHOOL comparing the similarities between Wicca and Christianity.. which I got an "A" on because all of my points were valid, and I had references--both Wiccan AND Biblical texts--to support it. And this vaccum of intellect STILL did not get it. I even gave him verses from the BIBLE.. It ended with the typical Christian way of dismissing things when they know they're wrong "I'll pray for you." The other woman that came in on another day was no better..though she did make an attempt at trying to stump me. I told her the exact same thing I told the other guy.. and was quizzed on when Wicca was founded--which I told her, and who the founders were. I even gave dates and the names of places in biblical texts to support what I was trying to tell her.. then I think I struck a nerve when I told her the cross necklace she was wearing was actually a Pagan symbol.. TeeHee. Refer back to my lovely easter rant: http://nitechylde-vv.deadjournal.com/3357.html . She looked less than pleased, so you know I was amused as all hell.

I think that catches us up to last night--as nothing else is more important! Well, maybe that one kid that asked me if the lightsabers were real and could they burn someone... I told him "No, we didn't get those in yet.. but Best Buy across the street has em." I'm a bastard sometimes, I swear.. .but they make it sooo easy! Oh yeah, there was also this girl that came in.. bought--something, I duno.. and when she reached in her pocket.. this dirty bitch pulls out a USED CONDOM!! I mean DAMN! That's just sick! And she looks at it--like she had Nooo idea where it came from--and dropped it on the floor!! I'm soo glad I wasn't in there..

Ok, the main news of last night: This guy came in and bought a Rabbit (i-Vibe) for his girl, and he was really nice. We joked with him, and this girl that was filling out an application, Alyssa, looks over and says that she sooo has to get one for Christmas, but she doesn't have the money for it (it's an $80 vibe afterall). So I give the guy his discount cuz he spent over $50, and try to get him to sign up for our Underground card that will get him a $10 gift certificate to use at any Spencers.. and he said that she can have the card and the free gift certificate.. so I give it to Alyssa to fill out. We told him how nice he was, and then he looks at me and says "Ya know what.. how much did I spend again Miss?" so I told him that with his discount, it was about $78. He pulls out a huge wad of crisp $20s, places 4 of em on the counter and slides them towards Alyssa, and says "Buy her one. And Have a Merry Christmas"

This guy didnt even KNOW her, and gave her money for an $80 vibrator!!!
Heh, I got to keep the change ^_^ Can we say, Snack from the snack machine today?

Well I've ranted long enough I think, and you're all caught up, so Happy Holidays to all the sick bitches, pornographically wealthy, christian ignorants...and the COOL PEOPLE who deal with them!

Along with the Buckle Balland its awesome fun-ness, I'd like to thank everyone who was in my show who made it possible; so a big shout out to Seraph, who played an awesome Goth-Andy and made the present boxes for the show, along with the music edits... Collete, the cutest Goth-Ann and master/mistress of the special effects... and Amara for the cutest little girl ever to be molested on a Single Cell-controlled stage. You guys rocked out.

Also, kudos and thanks to Torch, without whom, this wouldn't have been possible. Thanks for the confidence!

Hello My darlings!
Yes, I’m back, but not with a rant as usual. This time, I found time out of my busy busy day to recall the days of a weekend past: the 1st Annual Buckle Ball in lovely Atlanta! Big thanks to Buckle Magazine for allowing us to come down there. 1st of all, I’d like to say what a huge thing this was; Buckle Magazine does a lot of things, and are involved in a lot of worldwide events, including Rubber Ball in London, and a few fetish events in Germany as well. They’re a premier Fetish Magazine. For their 1st annual ball in ATL, they had ONE—that’s right folks—ONE side stage slot open, that they gave to Torch of Single Cell Productions, the brains behind Purgatory. And Torch gave that slot… to ME!! The show itself was completely amazing! Let me fill in to all my dears who didn’t get to see it in ATL, and for those ho missed the fun at the S&M Ball before that:

A little girl comes onto the stage, skipping around and looking to 2 large presents, and then moves to a 3rd large present. Unwrapping it, she discovers a life-sized marionette, which she turns on with a remote. She’s ecstatic as the marionette performs for her and sings, then the marionette begins to look strangely at her. She peels the wrist cuffs from her wrists, then steps forward of her own accord, surprising the little girl. She motions for the little girl to open her other presents, and while she does, the marionette begins to peel her dress and it’s accessories off, revealing a “darker” doll-like dress underneath. The little girl is thrilled to find 2 ragdolls, a boy doll and a girl doll, in the present boxes. They stand, then come to life. She hugs them, and they lead her to a table, where they roughly lie her down on it and rip her dress. The marionette, with a happy amusement, pulls a tray to show to the audience, with various tools on it. The 3 dolls begin to then operate on the girl, and when she’s presented to the audience, she has 2 prominent areas where she’d been stuffed and quickly stitched up. The dolls then attach her to a marionette stick and the marionette stands behind her, having turned the little girl into a marionette to perform for the dolls. When the music ends, the dolls fall into a limp state, and the little girl goes limp as well, the marionette kissing her head, picking up a toy bear, and skipping off.

At the S&M Ball, everyone loved it. At Buckle Ball.. it was a total hit! What made it awesome especially; we were told that since we were a sidestage show, we weren’t getting a special introduction, no special lighting, no special music. Do you think yours truly accepted this? Oh no. I spoke with one of the DJs, and the person in charge of the DJ Booth.. so after one of the biggest names in Atlanta finished his show, his music faded and immediately My music started, with TWO spotlights on the sidestage. Oh yeah.. who kicks ass?

That night was totally amazing, let me just say. The entire night was great. Photographers left and right, people videotaping professionally. Everything was.. just wow. The night before that was great as well! I was even asked to dance on the stage with their dancers. SO I graced the dancer platform.. Both nights actually ^_^. The only thing I really saw that was.. odd.. was the club kinda next door to the 1st club: they had “Welfare Night” every Wednesday.. yeaaaaah..

And here are some pics for you to enjoy of the S&M Ball, the preshow party, AND Buckle Ball!

And the kicker; yours truly could very well be in the next issue of Buckle Magazine! I’ll keep ya posted on that!

Wow, this is a little late, but hell, better late than never right? Anyhoos, I ust wanted to tell everyone that I had a TOTAL BLAST in Hawaii!! *insert random gleeful dances of joy here* I don’t even know if I can recap the entire week and not have this entry long as all get out, but here goes.

1st off was the flight from Wilmington to Atlanta. The airport in Atlanta had these statues.. and let me just say, they were a little frightening to say the least. But I got pics of them! They amused me. I’ll try to get some pics us as soon as possible.. Then came the 9 hour flight, which was occupied with Jax and I talking to a band that was going on tour. They even bought us drinks! How nice of them ^_^ We arrived in Honolulu at night, and even though it was dark, the airport was still amazing. There was an open courtyard area with a gazebo and even a small pond with waterfall. I was impressed that everything was in English and Japanese. It was pretty awesome. Since I was there for a week, I’m going to just highlight some kewlness, and then some stupidity.

Kewlness:
Taking the buses was actually more fun than I originally thought. I could find my way around a lot of places, and it was kinda like when I was in London taking the Tube or the buses there. We were a 10 minute walk from Waikiki Beach, which was totally awesome, and it was pretty much always warm there. The beaches were beautiful! Nice crystal blue water. Twassa much prettiness all around. I did a shiteload of walking, so I know I got my cardio in for the rest of my existence. LOL. The campus at Hawaii Pacific University was near a lot of kewlness downtown so there was always something to do. And the campus that was in the mountains for the science majors.. OMG that place was incredible!! Amazingly beautiful with a kickass view, tucked neatly away in Hawaiian forest. Clubbing was virtually like in Charlotte; we went to a House/Trance one, and then to a Hip Hop one. ^_^ hooray for dancing! There was always something to see, and let me just say that the Ala Moana Shopping center… that mall is SICK!!! I mean DAMN, that was shopping paradise!! 4 floors of huge mall, that was open in certain areas with a light canopy separating you from the big blue sky. It was gorgeous. Real trees and when it sprinkled, you could feel it falling on you and that felt really good. That mall.. crazy man.. crazy! There was also more shopping like a block from there, and a movie theatre a block from that—in another shopping center. We saw Snakes on a Plane.. that movie—was ridiculous. It just was. Silliness. We did laugh though when people started dying. That was amusing. I did do something that I promised a few people I would do. I sat outside on our little veranda at the hotel, and sipped a MaiTai for all of my buddies who couldn’t make it! I love you guys!

And now.. Stupidity at its Finest:
I saw a lot of kewl.. but with that, comes the high price of stupidity and total WTFery. Moments where you just stare at the perpetrator and try to convince yourself that it didn’t happen and you were secretly injected with some kind of psycho-trippy hallucinogen. Yep, saw a lot of that! For one thing.. if you’re a woman on the “healthy” side…and on the darker complexion end of the spectrum.. I would like to say now, for everyone.. that highlighter lime green is NOT a color you should have in your wardrobe. This lady not only had this color.. but it looked like that was ALL she wa wearing.. and it was SHORT!!! Needless to say, I took a picture.. mostly because I was confused and wanted to make sure I wasn’t seeing things (again). Also on my list.. I would like to make the announcement that no matter what.. you do not look sexy if you’re riding a rental bike. This dude drives by us.. nodding his head like he’s the total shyt.. on a RENTAL Harley… it’s bad enough he looks like he’s in his upper 40s/early 50s pretending to be younger.. but the dude drives by us 4 DAMN TIMES! He actually circled the block.. giving us that same retarted ass look! Yes, yours truly did say something out loud about that. Another thing; if your feet look more like a gorilla paw reaching for a bug.. please for the love of every known god do NOT wear flip flops; you scare small children. Put on tennis shoes and contemplate your actions. Aside from that Public Service Announcement, I’d like to pay a special tribute to one bus driver there. There are no words to describe him.. other than “FUCKIN NUTS”. He didn’t even slow down and come to a complete stop when it came to opening the door of the bus. We had to go somewhere, and when the door opened and we saw him driving, Jax and I gave a resounding “hell no”.. then waited for the next bus. That guy was insane I tell ya!

But yes, that was my week in a very synoptic nutshell. I laughed, I laughed more, I was in awe.. and I laughed yet again. I know there are some things I missed.. but hey.. I couldn’t very well have a novella on here, now could I? ^_^

Some days.. it's just not worth participating in existence.

Someone let me know when they create stasis chambers.

Yesterday after work was.. well I'm not sure what it was. And yes.. rare moment where yours truly writes in here.. and then the very next day has something else to write.. it's a miracle I tell ya! Anyhoos, I figure I should get some lining for Anubis' pen, since his current liner sponged up the ammonia of his "accidents".. to put it rather bluntly, it smelled like dog pee; oodles of neverending, eyeball burning dog urine. It was unholy. So I thought that maybe a vinyl flooring would be easier.. nothing to absorb if he misses his dog pads, and can be easily wiped up. So I go to Lowe's and look around.. with little luck. I eventually try tot rug section, where this nice lil black gay man with a high voice helps me out. I was starting to feel a little "bleh", but that's ok. He shows me this plasitc lining, but it's not as wide as I would've liked. he asked what it was for and I told him; my downstairs closet has been converted into a pen for my indoor dog. The lining is too absorbant and if he misses his dog pads, it soaks up. So I need different liner material. He then starts to veer from his usefulness.. showing me carpet with marine backing. So I tell him that no, I don't want to have to clean up anything major.. just something I can wipe down or take into the back and hose down. He shows me more carpet. ...No.. no carpet. I could've sworn that was covered in the "Things I do not want" spiel. I thank him and tell him i'm just going to get the vinyl flooring. Ok, so it wasn't that painful.. that was good.

I make the executive decision to go then to Target.. I was in the area anyway.. and I needed jeans. My dear canine was nice enough to chew through the crotch of 2 of my jeans, so yeah.. about high time for replacements. I'm feeling queasy but i go into to Target anyway on my quest for pants. I got 2 pair, then thought "hmm.. I need underwear.." so I went and got some.. then got some socks because I needed some and I was there anyway. Still feeling a lil ew, I go to the front.. and all the lines are long as hell. Ok. I place my stuff in some obscure area and go to the bathroom, thinking that would make me feel better, but no. I was still feeling like death, so I got my stuff, and trudged to the front. The lines.. were STILL long.. out of 14 lanes.. why would you only have 4 open?? Why??

Next stop.. the Electronics department!! They rarely have lines. See? I'm smart. I didnt even care that I was told I needed to actually have something electronic to make a purchase there.. I could do that easily.. but then I realized there wasn't really anything I wanted. Dilema. I decided on a larger memory stick for Tiamaat, my PSP. And of course when I pick out something.. there's noone there to help me. So I wait around until someone finally comes. I pay for my stuff.. and hearly faint from the total price of course.. then the guy gives me 2 $5 off gift cards because they came with the jeans. So I walk to the front.. and then I think.. what the fuck a I gonna do with these? I don't shop at Target enough.. so I go trepsing BACK to electronics to buy something with these damned cards.. i grab Star Wars Ep I and walk to the front.. WHY do the lines look like they hadn't moved since I GOT THERE HOURS AGO?? So BACK AGAIN to the electronics department.. where there was NOONE to wait on me. There was one lady, and she asked if I needed help.. I told her I wanted to buy the DVD and she said someone from this dept woulb be there to help me.. THAAAAANKS Lady. Then I see another guy.. he was sorting DVDs. I walk up to him and he asks if I needed help. I told him I just wanted to pay for this one DVD.. he was like "Ok." and turned back to thsorting. I mean realy.. what the fuck man..

So trekking bck to the front and STILL feeling like I'm going to get sick in the kids' section, I get to a lane. The lady in front of me doens't look like she has hardly anything in her buggy. Kickass. I get in line behind her. Someone announces that register 6 is open with no waiting and the girl behind me books it there. No problem.. then I look, and the lady in front of me starts pulling out shit from the vortex of her seemingly empty buggy. It was ridiculous! Where the hell did this shit come from?! FINALLY i get to the register and tell the girl I have 2 giftcards.. her response? "What designs do you want on them?"

...

"No. I HAVE 2 giftcards." It took this girl a while to realize that I was payig with giftcards. I make my purchase and flee that hellpit of a store.

I hate people sometimes. I swear.

Hey folks!

I actually had a blast this past weekend. It was eventful. I went to a Writer's Convention with my friend Regann--as she's know in the net-fanfic-LJ-etc world.. heh. I love that girl, seriously. Anyhoos, there wasn't really much for me to rant about this tim around, I genuinely had fun. I even went to a few of the panels.. yeah, she talked me into buying a day pss for Friday. The panel discussions were pretty interesting and I liked them. Nothing like FWA when I used to go to that.. but then again, a furry convention is a little different than a writer's convention.. and I didn't really go to any of the writing panels there.. hm. oh well, learning experiences are fun every now and then right? Ok, so the weekend, and back to it. I met some pretty kewl people and was even able to contribute to the conversations! Go Me! I talked with some really nice Wiccans, and a lot of people seemed to like my tattoo of Bast on my arm. That was awesome.

I also got to see my sister and my brother-in-law, and my 2 nephews. Chuck is soo big.. 15.. I feel old. I remember when I went to take care of him when I graduated HS... and we made a fort in his room out of a comforter and stuff.. and played Star Wars with inflatable squeeky mallets. Yeah , those were the days. And Jax.. .that little guy is 3 years old and making some pretty complex full sentences when it comes to talking! he's ADORABLE! We went to a vegetarian Japanese restaurant, and OMG.. I saw Andre from Outkast!!! I alctually walked up to him and talked to him and got a picture done with him!! but John kind of forgot to save the picture, but that's ok.. I have the memory, and the pic of Andre paying for his food before leaving the restarant. yeah, not the best picture, but i can still sya i met him! ^_^ just wish i had a pic to go along with it. oh well. He was Uber nice though. On saturday I went with Tamara to have a drink, then we watched a movie at her house. I didn't get to see my babies before I left, but that's ok. I'll email them sometime for sure.

Well, that's it for the most part. no foul language.. no deep thoughts.. just fun and entertainment had by all.

Thanks Regann for letting me drive you!.. and for having me as your lackey.. lol

Yep.. it’s been a long damned time since I typed in here.. this miiight be a long post, I dunno yet,. It depends on my impeccable ranting abilities. Ok children, let’s play catch up: in the past some-odd months since I posted, I was in the Purgatory military show, which was fun as all hell. I liked my outfit for that one too ^_^. Thanks to Mistress JadeTiger for allowing me the chance to be a POW. I bow to your greatness.

Hmm.. what else… The last Purgatory was the Arabian Nights show. OMG that was AMAZING!! One of my best friends, Jacqui, and her mom made my outfit: a red/gold genie bellydancer outfit with black pvc trim on the belt. Thanks Mom! Jax herself.. well I dunno how she did it.. but she hand threaded the beads that went on my customed top. I had a 2nd outfit for dancing, until after the show, then I wore my performance outfit for the rest of the night. I had a total blast; I even got a picture stepping on ThrowRug, our neighborhood welcome mat at Purg. The show itself, I loved it.. one of my best I think, even with the technical snaphoos. Heh. The kicker was eating the “heart” on stage after it was taken out of the victim’s chest. That was great. It was a choice cut of Filet Mignon.. and to be totally rare.. it tasted pretty good.. hm. Who knew? I want to thank everyone who was in my show and who helped to get it done well: Amara, Slice, Seraph, DJ Spider, Our fantastic lighting guy John, and the support of the entire Single Cell staff. I’m a little too tired to go into details about the backstage bloopers. Maaybe next time.

Oh wow.. I actually can’t remember everything I wanted to rant about.. that’s new. Guess noone struck a nerve that badly, lol.

I will say that my family… yeah.. I dunno what to say about them. I disown myself from the majority of them. I would have to agree with my bro who put it perfectly: “Some people are vacuums of intellect.” If you can get someone to say “goddammit” in front of a church.. right after a funeral.. you know you’re special. I can’t even begin to describe the workings of a black funeral. 1st off.. there’s no real funeral music… people were dancing.. yes.. you heard right, dancing. In the seats.. clapping even.. cuz the funeral music sounded more like a Kirk Franklin concert..I swear.. I have no words.

Oh well.

Yes, I said it.. "WOW!" but whether that's a good wow or a not so good wow... well.. that's a tossup right there. The day of Apr 2nd was pretty awesome..mostly.. heh. I had the pleasure of meeting the man behind Dudley Hair Products, his wife, and his son. Mr. Dudley was a nice guy. And how did I do this you ask? Meet millionaires? Well I was asked to model for a video/photoshoot with international stylist Barry Fletcher. I was paid to have my hair washed and styled, and then did a shoot. The video portion was with Barry styling my hair in front of the camera. I'll be getting a copy of both the pictures and the video. That was the definite good Wow. I also got my makeup professionally done.. shoutout to Sam McCrea for that.

On the not so wow side..it was long.. i was in Kernersville from 9am until about 11:30pm at the Dudley cosmotology school.. and that's a LONG time to be somewhere. I especially felt bad for Shawn, since he had to drive me and there is NOTHING to do in Kernersville. absolutely nothing. Period. I have to give him major kudos for being able to not rip his own eyes out or something. There isn't much to rant about right here, just saying that I had an amazing time, and i will be on a DVD that will be shown everywhere...and in stylist magazines that they have at salons. someone somewhere might point to my picture and say "I want THAT hairstyle!"

it makes me have joy inside.. just a bit ^_^

Yeah, this is late by about…2 weeks or so. I would just like to say that I love love LOOOOVE the new addition to my psychotic menagerie of pets. Anubis, born January 7th of 2006. He’s black (and a mutt) with 4 white paws, a tuxedo mark on his chest, and a perfect pyramid on his back between his shoulderblades. I’d like to give a shout out to Shawn for taking me to get him, and buying some supplies for him; you’re awesome babes. This month has pretty much gone to the housetraining process, although there are a few accidents here and there still.. hey, he’s a puppy.. I’ll let it slide. He still gets disciplined though, so he knows what he did wrong and where he’s supposed to go. I’m in the process of crate/pen training him, and he’s been getting better and better at going in there when I say “Go to your room”. He understands the command I gave him to make him sit, and usually does it immediately when I say it. He knows his name too.. which is great, because he’ll stop whatever he’s doing and come to me when I call him. He can go up and down the steps by himself, jump on the couch.. but he’s still too small to get up into my bed.. muwahaha! Zeus doesn’t mind him to much, so long as he doesn’t try to chase him, and Pandora…I swear she’s schizo. She wants to play with him, then hisses because he’s heavier than she is and he tries to pounce on her. Once he walked by her and laid down. She walked by him twice and he didn’t pay her any attention, so she smacked him in the head with her paw. Strange female feline..

And now.. everyone’s favorite time.. RANT TIME!!
People that shop at Spencer Gifts are flaming idiots… I swear.. I mean do we have a sign that says “if you’re a dumb fuck, by all means, PLEASE come right on in”?? Seriously, things you should Never have to say in a Spencers store:

1. Excuse me.. could you NOT throw the darts in the store, thanks.
2. That’s lube, and if you don’t know what it does.. you should just put it down.
3. No, I can’t read French.. the English description is right above it.
4. You only need to squeeze the screaming chicken once; It doesn’t make any other sound but THAT one.

Yes, people need to be shot in the face at point blank range.. with a sawed off shotgun….. with no mercy. I mean really.. why do these people even bother leaving their rooms? And if I have to deal with another ghetto person acting immature about the adult stuff.. I’m shoving a vibrator down their throat.. the 10 inch one..

1st Purgatory of 2006.. February.. and believe me we ROCKED IT! I was the 1st act to go on, and unlike the last time, I wasn’t nervous or as worried. We practiced a lot more, and the cast I had was amazing. Picture if you will the opening to Chicago: “All That Jazz”. 3 chairs. 3 girls walk to the chairs and a floorshow commences; burlesque chair dancing. A few minutes.. a synchronized routine later, the music melts to Manson’s “Dope Show”..with more erotic movements, and even a synchronized cane routine. The girls dance and the ring leader (yours truly), who has had a pinstripe jacket, tie and hat put on her, makes her way to a platform to sing. A guy comes up to them.. dance stalking around them before pushing them away dismissively. The ring leader sees this and moves around him and they face off to “dance battle”…which he wins. She orders him tied up and then the taunting begins. She snaps his neck, then stands in the chair where he’s tied, straddling his legs as the music changes to the last bit of All that Jazz.. on the last beat, she falls to sit in his lap.. the other girls dropping to the floor, posed. Lights off and thunderous applause ensues. I was told that was one of the best shows ever to grace the Purgatory stage. It was very warming for me to hear that, and it’s great to know that we have fans who appreciate what we do. Buckle Magazine was there, and I got to take a picture which was tons of fun. It’s not a real magazine cover they put me on, but hey, I think it’s pretty awesome: http://www.bucklemagazine.com/galleries/covers/cover_10.htm I had a blast and talked to them for a while. Hopefully, I’ll be doing a shoot with Binarotica at some point *crosses fingers* They had a lot of really kickass looking images, and if any of them made it to Buckle Magazine.. *swoons* But yeah, all the shows were 100% amazing and everyone rocked the house as usual. I’m looking forward to more things and big productions, and just.. tons of WOW. Again, this is without ranting.. no bitching..noone’s been stupid to speak of.. so yeah, life is grand.

PS: yes, this is late. I know. Sue me.

SEASON’S BEATINGS

Hello hello my dears. This one is VERY late, I know.. you can shoot me later for it. I’m combining because for one thing.. these two things happened one day after the other, and for another thing.. I’m old. I have no memory to speak of. 2nd Saturday of December was the Season’s Beatings Purgatory. It was a great day for me, because it was the Very 1st show I had Ever written and been in charge of. And it was the FIRST act to go on! Needless to say, I was nervous as all hell. Let me give a synopsis on the action, fr those of you who weren’t there: 3 explorers go into an ice cave, looking around, and find a figure trapped in ice. They chip her out and lay her on the ground, then begin talking about their new riches and the Find of the Century…unaware that the figure (moi) is thawing quickly and waking up. They turn to see her stand, looking them over with curiosity, then begin to play with them.. little hide and seek and tag. She puts them into a trance.. one of them snapping out of it and trying to wake his friends. She stops him, grabs him, and rips his tongue out. He drops to the ground, nicely dead, and she continues to play with the other two…then slashing one across the chest, and grabbing the last one by the guts and imprisoning her in the ice and freezing her there. She skips over to the 2 dead explorers and picks up a book, sitting on them. On the cover it says “Ice Demons”. I was nervous about the show because the blood packets kept leaking on me before I could seal them properly and attach them to my victims. I was running around looking for something to pierce them with so they burst when they were supposed to.. and my costume wasn’t done. I had to staple some of the pieces on.. hell, I was only wearing it for the show. I was told that it was a great show and I did wonderfully, which was a nice boost since I felt like everything had gone awry…even when it didn’t. I felt good overall about it, and was even told afterwards that it was good. So yeah, I was happy. (hooray). The stress that led up to it though… wow.. I can’t wait for the next shows I’m working on.. lol

ALTERNATIVE CAMEL DANCING

It was a fun filled weekend to say the least! Saturday was Purgatory, Sunday—an event sponsored by Camel cigarettes at Amos. Lotd of alternative music, and yours truly dressing much like Gwen Stefani from No Doubt. It looked pretty rockin I thought. It was also a lot of fun, and I got to meet a lot of interesting people. I had a blas at their last event where I gogo danced, so this was just as awesome. At 1st I was worried I wasn’t wearing the right outfit.. but it turned out perfectly fine. There isn’t muchto say, but the music was great, the DJs were awesome, and the live bands rocked the place out. Of course, I was still tired from Purgatory the previous night, but that’s ok.. I wore regular boots as opposed to the heeled wonders I wear during fetish events.

Well that’s is for now. No hardcore ranting. I’m not pissed.. yet.. lol

Let me make an announcement for everyone out there...

COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS SUCKS MORE ASS THAN A SALAD-TOSSING ORGY!!

Alright. I feel much better now. If any of you have CountryWide.. or if any of you work for CountryWide..you have my sympathy, you really do. If it works for you, congratulations, but for everyone else who's been cheated, left hanging on the phone for an ungodly amount of time, and given the runaround.. you're not alone. I've been meaning to write this down for some time now actually, but the idiocy has been steadily building. It started almost a month and a half after countrywide got my mortgage.. yes folks.. a month and a half. I get told my payment is late and they're going to charge me...when I didn't get an invoice. So I call them and they nicely tell me that my payment is due even if I don't get an invoice. ok, so how the fuck am I supposed to know how much to send or where to mail it to?? The lady tells me that I can make my payment online, but there's a charge for using the internet.. and a higher charge for making the payment over the phone.. and of course a charge if it's late.. so when the FUCK does convenience come in? I mean really?? It doesn't take long for them to fuck up of course, when I'm informed that my payment will be QUADRUPLE what I've been paying.. What kind of sense does that make?!! And they weren't even going to TELL me!! I had to ask them how much was my payment for the next month so I would know.. isn't that nice of them to let me know they were going to bend me over and anal-rape me for money I don't have.. I I get livid and without showing it, ask them why it was so high.. taxes. They were saying I had to pay property tax, and said this was the number they got from the Charlotte Mecklenburg tax authority. so I called the tax authority.. what did I find out? My property is too new to even BE taxed!! and the lady at the tax authority said--and I quote--"I have no idea what Countrywide is talking about or where they even got their numbers from, but you don't owe any taxes. your property isn't even in the system." So she gives me the partial number for my townhouse, and I called them back.. the assclown I talked to insisted I owed them this outrageous amount.. and I told them EXACTLY what the tax authority people said, and that's when I noticed the faltering voice.. mmhm.. CAUGHT! I then give my partial number..and what brilliant thing do I hear? "...that's um.. not the number we have on your account..." So THERE'S the problem. Some fucked up asshole doesn't know how to enter in numbers, and I had someone else's shit on my account. I told them they better fix it because I refuse to pay quadruple for property that can't be taxed. So then after this little episode, I have to call them AGAIN about payments.. they tried to charge me based on the ENTIRE UNIT, and not just my own little townhouse! I mean honestly.. does anyone else see a pattern of severe ineptitude? Anyone else seeing the Retard-Bar rising? So I have to explain it to them using preschool terms that they STILL didn't understand. I get a call sometime later from Franklin Bank.. and they said I owed them a payment and I was ahead of my payments with Countrywide.. you know what, fuck that.. I gave Franklin Bank the number.. let them fight it out.I don't owe anyone shit. And as it stands now, I'm supposed to pay about $300 more than what I agreed to pay initially. So I'm going to have to call these fucktards.. AGAIN.. I swear they all need to be shot.. blown up.. then shot again. I asked my friends, associates, and neighbors about their mortgage companies, and you know what? NONE of them have Countrywide.. and the ones that do.. said they were switching. What does that tell you? So yes, Countrywide has joined the glorious ranks of Assclowns, Fucktards, and all around Jacked-up Rejects. And you kow it's sad when they suck so much, someone made a website: http://www.countrywidehomeloansucks.com/ Hmm.. a slogan for Countrywide? I think I have the perfect one:

"Countrywide Home Loans.. when you REALLY want to get ass-raped with no lube"

Hello hello! Wellt his one is going to be 2 entries.. as I forgot to post when I was supposed to. yes, blame me now for being a slacker; I will take your name down.. and shoot you later. ^_^

Malice in Wonderland:
This was without a doubt a fun party. I didn't get to perform but that's alright; I had a great time working the crowd and flashing a smile here and there. The high point I would have to say would be the muzzle of my doormouse outfit.. which I ended up using superglue because the spirit gum didn't work. Heh. Yeah.. fun. I have come to the realization that if someone blows on drying superglue.. the fumes aren't very pleasant. Of course the burning sensation in my nasal cavity and the extreme watering of my left eye were a good indication. I decided to glue the other sid emyself, which wasn't as bad. I wasn't blind at least, so that was a plus. The music was amazing, and the dear Mistress Sapphire put on a wonderful 2:30 show. I enjoyed every bit of it, that was for sure, and didn't leave until about 3am. There isn't much I can't say that doesn't describe it all in one word "Fantastic". I can't thank everyone enough for making that a worthwhile night!

My New Love for J-Rock:
I'm going to have to blame 2 special people who are making the world a better place for J-Rock, one person at a time. Angela, Angel.. you rock! I am now in love with Malice Mizer, Moi dix Mois, and DespairsRay. Mana is the cutest thing ever and Gackt.. well there are no words to describe his hotness. I will have to go into it more when I get the time, but for now, I just had to express my fondness for pretty Japanese Rock bois!!

Well my dears, this one will be a little short, but that's alright. Last Saturday was Purgatory, and let me just say it was AWESOME! The dancers were amazing and the scenes were terrific. I knew it was a success when our Dancer coordinator bought us a round of drinks.. and the couple next to us bought us another round! The energy was high, and I loved every minute of it. I swear, I wouldn't change a thing about dancing for Purgatory at all.. in fact, every Single Cell event I could dance for, I would. Something about the energy of the crowd... the energy when I'm up there.. everything just fits. I guess it's one of those hard to describe feelings. I can't wait for the show in December!! And this Friday is Malic in Wonderland at Sky. That should be fun, as I will be the lovely Doormouse for the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. Looks like I'm driving my happy tail to Morris Costumes to grab meself a nose and a set of ears. I hope they don't cost too much.. I'm low on funds as it is.but on a positive side, I'll be able to use them for later shows more than likely. Hell, I'm a performer. I know I'll be able to use them later! I just had to make the comment that Purgatory was Amazing this Saturday! ^_^

Well kiddies.. this is a rant. I hate people. I hate asses. This entry is aptly named due to the circus of “politics” (and I use the term VERY loosely) here at work. It would seem that I will NOT be going to Germany as planned because it has been deemed that other people are more qualified to go… people that have VERY little to do with the global market in fact. This idea was construed by an individual that has had it out for me ever since I said I would rather work in a different department rather than his. I’m sorry.. but I did NOT get a Bachelor’s in Marketing and study International Business in London to deal with Americans. So let’s see.. instead of a very qualified Yours Truly, and my boss, who has dealt with the Global Market for years and knows EXACTLY how they work… the individual would like to send someone who heads up his sales dept who came on when I did.. and someone for the mobile department. Now, if they were more qualified than me to go.. ok, I might not be even the least bit bitter.. but I mean DAMN.. this was orchestrated just because the individual has a personal thing against my boss, and against me. So this is what I see happeneing.. nothing is going to get done in the way of business, and they’re going to wonder why.. the trip will be a waste of money and the owner is going to be irked.. but you know what.. you send 2nd grade, you get 2nd grade. That’s nothing against the people who are now going; they’re good at their job.. key words: Their Job. The Individual needs to let them do their jobs and let us do ours. Then again, this same individual was kind enough to inform me and my boss that “everyone speaks English” so why even have a global department… mmhm.. yeah.. But you know something.. I’m really not going to trouble myself over it.. because after pulling some kindergarten bullshit like this.. the Individual isn’t even on my list of people to be concerned with. I have absolute zero respect for him right about now, and am more concerned with cleaning the shit from my cats’ litterboxes than I am with him. It’s the overall situation and the utter shadiness of it all, and I’m sure the ones going don’t even have the slightest clue about it. And if they do, that’s just as sad. But this is how I see things at this moment: the owner is the one who signs my paychecks.. not the Individual.. not his circus monkeys.. and not the other assclowns he’s affiliated with. Neither can he fire me, because that’s a job for my boss. And guess what, I DO my job and I do it WELL. Can he say he got a contract with a studio the company’s been trying to get for years? I think Not. Not only that, but I got 3 contracts agreed on and faxed out, 3 consecutive days. Not bad for someone “not qualified” huh? As far as the unimportant, petty AssClowns are concerned, they can all suck a fat one, because unlike a lot of people I’ve noticed, I refuse to kiss anyone’s ass.. I refuse to suck anyone’s dick, and if you piss me off, you better be prepped to fuckin deal with it. So I’m not going to wish them ill on the Germany trip.. they already fucked up the whole thing on their own. But what I am going to do is sit back and grin when it blows up in their faces. It’s just so sad, and I hate to harp on it.. but the King AssClown knows absolutely Nothing about the Global Market, and I’m sorry, but not many German manufacturers are going to want to talk to them, I can predict that one. Hmm.. maybe after this disaster they’ll see the light.. not the assclowns though.. there’s no hope for them.

Well my loves, Labor day weekend was a blast.. Ozzfest on Friday.. worked my ass off on Saturday.. and Sunday.. well more work. Monday.. ah yes.. the blessed Monday in which I was priveledged enough to be graced with the presence of my family.. uh---huh.. 1st of all, they weren’t invited over. Shelia told them I invited them, and she told me that Danielle wanted to see my new kitten. So over comes Danielle, Beverly, Shelia, and Tyrone—who walks straight into the back and sits out there smoking… And to think they had the nerve to think I was being anti-social.. I was in the damn livingroom. Noone talked to me except Beverly, and that was to ask me if I really invited them in the 1st place. I swear.. underhanded people.. it’s just damn sad, it really is. So then a little later Shawn and I go out somewhere… I get home.. and when I go upstairs, I notice that the mousecage is not where it should be. Pandora had jumped onto my computer desk.. and kicked the mouse cage off of it. It was overturned and in my butterfly chair. Yeah, wanted to kill the kitten. So after thumping er nose and tossing her out of the room, I fixed the cage and thankfully all the mice were safe and sound.. little shaken, but good. And now the secondI see her jumping onto the desk, it’s a combination yelling “NO”, followed by scruff of the neck picking up and severe thumping on the nose. That gets her attention and she’s less likely to do it.. Terrible Two’s in the feline life cycle.. gotta love it.

Well kiddies, it’s about that time for another entry, so let me regail all of you with the tales of a great event: Ozzfest 2005! It was great, let me tell you. I had on a pair of black calf high boots, a red plaid skirt, belt with chains attached, and a mesh shirt with a top over it. Needless to say I looked goooood.. I also had in my ponytail that I made from black, red, and purple dread falls. So anyhoos, all the bands were good even though it was hot as hell and there was an insane amount of people there. I saw Killswitch Engage and Rob Zombie, both excellent, but what got me the most was seeing Wicked Wisdom. This band was not only pretty good, but their lead vocalist was none other than miss Jada Pinkett Smith herself!! I was shocked she was in a heavy band like that, comparing with what Will Smith does music-wise. I bought her CD for $10, and that allowed me to go to the head of the line where her band signed the jacket of it. Jada was sitting on the other side of the table where everyone else was sitting.. and she hugged me! I told her how great her stuff was and I loved her movies, especially Tales from the Crypt Demon Knight. She appreciated that and took a picture with me on Shawn’s cameraphone. Then she signed the CD itself. I was so excited.. she’s made me want to be more serious bout my music project.. *shameless plug* But yeah, overall.. kickass event!
