In work news, the rest of this week isn't going to be a lot of fun. It's the end of the month coming up and we're feeling a lot of pressure to exceed budget this month since we've been under budget previously (I don't understand the semantics of the whole thing either), and I have yet to do the BCBS that's come in because my boss has been out for the past few days so she can use up her PTO time or else she'll lose it. Anyway, this is only my second week doing it and while I know how to do it and it generally doesn't take a LOT of time, but it does get involved and stuff and I have a somewhat limited time frame. Ugh.

I'm honestly trying NOT to stress out about it with limited success. X___x

In other news, guess who was in our neck of the woods yesterday? Joe Biden, that's who! Here! In MELBOURNE of all places. Go figure...

I received my copy of Runaways yesterday. The storyline is pretty decent. I'm still iffy on the art though. Like why Ramos insists on rendering Chase like a friggin' linebacker!!! Geez, he played lacrosse, not football! Ugh! Just... just NO!

Today in History: 1945
The first commercially-made ballpoint pens went on sale - at Gimbels Department Store in New York City. The pens sold for $12.50 and racked up a tidy profit of $500,000 in the first month.

The new runaways is out? Is it the story part where they go back in time?

Oh, you are behind aren't you? We're several issues past that now. We have a new art/writer team and everything. The jury is still out on the art quality however...

-_-

oh, the art is urgh?

It's OK. I just don't think it suits this series very well. I got spoiled with the original artist, Adrian Alphona. I LOVED his art style for this series. This is one reason why I fell away from Western comics for awhile. The artists and writers are always changing and then they start screwing with the canon. *siiiigh*

Discuss anime and manga until the claustrophobia simmers down ^__^'

14) Worst thing to ever happen to you?
My mother passing away...

15) Tell me one weird fact about you.
I absolutely MUST eat everything in pairs. If I have unpaired candies (i.e. Skittles/M&M's), I'll throw them away or give them away. If I'm eating a sandwich or a burger, meat, whatever, it absolutely has to be cut in half. My siblings always have teased me about it. They always call me "Rain Man"

If I had a rocket launcher, there would be a lot of clowns in trouble right now.

Nothing at all. I'm not vain or anything, I've just never cared. I'm more concerned with food and doing stuff than I am with my looks.

21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?
Partner in crime *eeeeh heh heh....* ^__^'

22) What color eyes do you have?

...Wimp...

LOL XD

....Whoa! Now, don't get too wild! No telling WHAT would happen!!...

*hahaha* I don't drink, so yeah LOL XD

The Home Depot thing just kinda...came out of left field, I guess. The first time that I asked my parents about it, they were all o__O?? I even cried and everything TT__TT

And here I was thinking that my "everything must be paired' obsession was my most questionable trait ^__^'
Date/Time: 2008-10-31 22:38 (UTC)Posted by: [identity profile] snapdragon76.livejournal.com
I'm not much of a drinker, so I can empathize. Still...


You are such a freak...


LOL!

My "pairs" obsession is borderline obsessive compulsive, actually...

Date/Time: 2008-11-04 00:35 (UTC)Posted by: [identity profile] snapdragon76.livejournal.com
Yes, it is.

If it makes you feel any better, I have my fair share of quirks. as well...

p.s.: Is that Jem in your avatar?! I used to love Jem!

Date/Time: 2008-11-04 00:37 (UTC)Posted by: [identity profile] snapdragon76.livejournal.com
Yes it is! I got it from [livejournal.com profile] cleolinda who has a whole bunch of them here (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v36/cleolinda/jem7/). I used to watch that show every morning before school RELIGIOUSLY!!!

I swear, we must've been separated at birth... with a fair number of years between us.

I'm definitely grabbing some of those!

...I swear, we must've been separated at birth... with a fair number of years between us....

Isn't it crazy?! We have so much in common. That's why you rock so hard ^^b

My sister and I watched Jem like it was nobody's business. If our brothers even attempted to turn the tv....it was sudden death for them both.
