RIP Mr Maguire :(

RIP Kero. You had a good 2 1/2 years, and many faked deaths, but this one was real.

I've just been reminded due to some strange noises in the office at work and my suspicion at what they are.

Last week I went out into the kitchen mid-WOW raid to go get a drink. Midnight's lying on the kitchen floor which is slightly odd, but then, she likes to lie on the floor at random so I shouldn't think much of it. All of a sudden she springs up and looks under the fridge. I'm like WTFSHIT the centipede is back! (About a month or so ago I went into the kitchen for breakfast and a 2" long house centipede ran across the kitchen floor and taunted me from the baseboards for 10 min. I think he's dead now though, a centipede commited suicide on Dave's desk this week). Anyways, I go and get a flashlight to go look to see what it is. I don't see anything at first, until I hit the right angle and see little black eyes staring at me. WTFOMGSHIT I yell for Dave that there is a MOUSE in the kitchen. I pass off the flashlight and type a quick "OMFG BRB MOUSE UNDER FRIDGE" in WoW so I'm not just MIA and we look under the fridge and... he doesn't see anything. So I send him off at regular intervals for the next 45 min or so until the raid is over, and then I decide that I should take out the trash just in case (This is at midnight now). So I bag it up, open the door and stick it on the porch. As I'm turning around, all of a sudden the mouse dashes across the kitchen floor again, this time towards the radiator where he jumps into the little space between the floor and the pipe. We can't get him out by shining the flashlight. I turn the then empty trash can on it's side and break up a few pieces of cheese and trail them into the trash can. Seemed like a good idea but every time I turned my back, Midnight was eating a piece of cheese. Finally I grabbed a large rubber centipede (oh the irony) that I had brought home for Midnight to play with and I plugged up the hole in between the floor and the radiator (carefully while using a knitting needle to press it into place of course!) The next day I bought some mouse traps, but no go yet. I guess it's gone. I hope atleast, she was looking inbetween the stove and the fridge the other day but I looked good and didn't see anything.

Sometimes you might see me being crazy enough to have the cat out front on a leash.

Don't let her fool you. She's really a hair eating, sink drinking little monster at times :P

Yes, I fail at using livejournal now. There's not really much to document in my life at the moment.

As a compromise though, I'll try to update once a week now. We'll see how it goes.

If I am asked one more time by someone at work whether or not I am pregnant (the question, of course, is always started with "It's none of my business but...") I'm going to flip a shit and kill someone. Yes, I know that the people asking should feel pretty damn dumb and embarassed when I tell them that I'm not, but I really am getting sick of it. Way to point out the fact that I've gained some (a lot) of weight since I moved out.

It's not making me feel any fucking better about myself people.

About three weeks ago, we picked this up.



Meet Midnight. 9 months old and very full of energy.

I feel sorta bad but I just can't keep up with LJ's anymore. I might do a friends cut, or start over fresh. I don't know.

Edit: Friends cleaning -- sorry to anyone that I got rid of -- but if you mostly post ads for what you're selling/quizzes/stupid little things, I don't pay attention to that stuff. I only post publicly anyways so you're not missing out on me.

Why oh why must LJ make it so difficult to add a custom picture in your journal for the background?

Oh well, this little grim reaper is cute.

Gossip Girl, not sure how much I like it.

Serena's brother is not supposed to be younger than her and try to commit suicide.

And Jenny is not some tiny flat chested blonde thing.

Nate does not look like I expected him.

Jenny and Dan's father is not a musician, he's a poet.

RIP Opal. You were a good fish.

New apartment = all moved in. Internet now there.

Only thing worth mentioning from the past week that I've been without internet is that I took one of my piercings out yesterday and let [am letting?] it close up. It's the one in the middle cartelidge (between the top and bottom) on my left ear, the one that I got when I went with Megan. The skin started scabbing a bit for some reason the past couple of days and I'm just generally sick of it. My ear looks a bit blank but oh well.

I also got a new fish. I'm not sure if Opal's dying or not -- it changes day by day. But whatever's going on she's got a fungal infection [dropsy] that's making all her scales stick straight up and very lethargic. I got her some medicine Tuesday and also picked up a new little girl [from Jamie's petsmart!] at the same time. Opal is in the sick house and since yesterday has actually perked up quite a bit. But anyways, new fish, who we were calling Lucifer for a while because she was red and kept poking Opal while she was sick, looks like this fish here. I think I'm going to rename her to Ruby though. I just don't know if it will stick after 4 days of calling her Lucifer.

Moving is in progress.

Moving is also quite tiring.

Not staying over there over night yet on account of a lack of permanent electricity, a lack of internet, no dresser, desk, or television, and no blinds on the windows. I also haven't moved any clothes except for a few hoodies and pajama pants over there, and there's no food. I'll probably be completely moved in by this Saturday. And will very hopefully have internet.

I did atleast spend the night at Dave's last night though.

I got Harry Potter 7 from Dave for our anniversary yesterday.

Now all I need is about 12 hours where I have nothing else to do so that I can sit down and read it all in one sitting. Or a day when I don't have to get up for work so that I can read it and not worry.

Dar, how long did it take you to read?

Okay, I wanted to tell people about this and not in a journal post to everyone, but since someone people haven't been online much recently Jamie I guess I'll just have to deal with it, as I've known since Wednesday, and the only one besides my parents, grandparents, people I work with, and Dave, to know about this is Lauren, might as well just say it.

I'm moving out. Or rather, we're moving out. To Jackson Ave to be exact, so basically I'll be right behind BG. (Isn't that where you've always wanted to live??), and also about 2 minutes away from work.

We're moving on September first, which gives us 13 days to get everything together.

We being me and Dave.

I walked into my room yesterday and found Opal lying on my floor.

But she's still alive now, well over 12 hours later, so I think it's gonna be okay. She was just a little out of it for the first hour or so.

I still have no idea how she got out of her tank though. The hole is the size of a nickel and that would take some pretty good aim to get out of the tank AND manage to get a foot and a half away from the bookcase the tank is on.

I have rice krispies. And they're tasty.

And I just made $53+ on ebay off of my little ponies.
