You'll never guess what happened to me today!!!


So, as you already know we've been having really bad snow storms here in South Jersey.  Really bad.  Very bad.  Very very bad.

Just this past Friday into Saturday the world plopped a couple feet of snow on us.  And the great administration in my district didn't bother to plow the roads until well after it was over.  And then they neglected to salt it.

WELL.

I had my dad drive me in to work the first day, but today it was sunny and nice out so I took myself.  In "slip in slide" (Ms. Geo Prism herself.)

So I rode in low gear, went slowly, waited forever for people to not be coming down the road to make my turn.

UNTIL!!!

I went to merge at this one corner after making sure for about forever that no one was coming.  So I slowly rounded the corner, then my back end slid, then my whole car slid and my rear end went around the front and then!

ALL I SAW COMING AT ME WAS A WALL OF SNOW AND I COULDN'T STOP!!!!

So I was like "Oh o.o;"  And went sliiiiiiiiiiiiiide flooosh!  into the snow bank.  And I was like "Oh that could have been a lot worse XD"  So I went to back out, then I realised how -hard- I had actually flown into the snow drift.

I put on my blinkers after I couldn't get out and got ready to call my parents.  Most of the people who saw me do it were like "Oh, that's too bad" and went around me, lol.  The person who even lived in the house I crashed infront of went inside and didn't even do so much as call the police to help me get out.

By the way my back end was facing traffic, so people had to -drive around me.-  And those fuckers couldn't stop to see if I was alright?!?!?!

This one guy, though, who saw it happen ran over to see if I was okay.  Then he helped me get out of the snow.  I was in the middle of calling my parents when it happened, and I let them know I was okay.  But my dad still decided to go gung ho and try to track me down ;p

So to that annonymous good samaritan, thank you very much for helping me!

To everyone else, what the fuck is your problem!? >:l

I'm so thankful to have no been hurt.  The Geo was unscathed, but her antena broke off -.-  Thank goodness there wasn't a curb or a rock or a car under that snow bank I flew into.

And all I can say is...


I'M ALIVE!!!!

The live journal blogosphere has been really quiet lately.

Where is everyone?!

Comment me and let me know how you all are doing :3

Pfft, I've been single for about 2 years now I think.  I lost count.  And I won't be doing anything to "celebrate."  I'm probably scheduled to work that day.  I'm always scheduled on holidays.  And I'm always working.  Damn it.  I hate this

Today's my birthday :)  More updates to come~

Don't worry, nothing exciting happened ;p

Just thought I'd pass along this video from the convetion that's too far away and always on my birthday XD

Just a news snipit of the con

Hey Guys,

My birthday is coming up on Monday.  And you know what, I've been so busy I forgot to make plans :x  Anyone want to just go see a movie or go to a restaurant or something with me?  I have a 3 day weekend off... but yesterday I had a migrane -.-;

Dial me up, txt, or comment :3

I ate a baby octopus in vinegar.  I hated it.  Especially when all the suction cups attached to my tongue and it wriggled down my throat.  As to the second part of the question, yes quite often.  Usually along the lines of "Oh that was a shrimp spring roll, lo mein, alfredo, etc"

I'm allergic to shellfish.  One time I just ate french fries in the same batter as shrimp and threw up like whoa.

Others judge us by our actions.

It'sa paraphrase from Ian Percy, that is at the tagline of emails I get from work.  Even though it's stated backwards, I think it has a greater impact that way.

Has anyone on here actually read any of my stories before?  Or my poetry maybe?  I do have some up on Elfwood, but it's my old stuff and it's of lesser quality.  Maybe you guys have noticed me mention on here a couple of times that I'm gearing up to write a novel.  I' will be drafting the first draft of about 3-5 manuscipts simultaneously over the course of this year.  (Ambitious!!!)  I was wondering if anyone would be interested in reading it and helping me to critique it?  It can be anywhere from little feedback like "I liked this part, that part confused me" to a deep analysis of the text.  I don't know if I have any fellow literary critics on here.  But maybe someone is familar with close reading?

Anywho, anyone interested?

These are my ideas so far:
A novel about a university student who moves to a town infested with werewolves
A world based on the Chinese Zodiac, that springs up after our current world is destroyed
A very, very lose and unorganized idea about all of my worst nightmares somehow woven into a story that'll scare you shitless
A novel about a girl who has nightmares, premonitions, and sees ghosts.  Kind of like the one before it, but I can't figure out where to begin.
A series of stories about two Biman cat sisters who are abandoned by their family after their house was reposessed.


Comment me please! D:

Hey Guys!

I just wanted to let you know I finally uploaded images to my Scrap Book.  So you can view an assortment of Caydys, by date and artist, and an amalgamation of my trades.

Yah :D

"I dated a guy who was stupid that when I told him I got into Princeton he said, 'Baby that's not hard, it's straight up 206.' "

Well today was.... interesting. ( Read the story of how Mr. Scary got his name )

I just knew it. I even -said- when I first saw how he was turning out, he was the kind of mask that would make kids cry. Would you hug this guy?

Here's a jaw test for your enjoyment. Progress photos here

I feel like I've been busy, but I haven't been -that- busy. I stopped work on my scary ass wolf for now. I'm waiting on some more supplies in the mail. I bid on a cheapo pair of cargo shorts on ebay just so I can have something to wear with it when I'm finished. I want to wear it around and test it out before I sell it to make sure everything is good. If all goes well, it'll continue to be a bad ass costume.

This morning I took my cat back to the vet. His stomach has calmed down and his fur is coming back. The excessive drinking and urinating haven't gone down. We were supposed to get blood work run on him, but unfortunately they looked through our records and found that some douche bag ran blood work on him two times in one week and used up our covered blood tests for the whole year!! So if we want to order another one, it'd be $229. And I don't know about you, but with Christmas and my bills, I don't have that kind of money right now -.-;

Well I start work in a week, so I'm going to set aside my first pay check for his bloodtest asap.

In other news, I never wrote about Thanksgiving. It was kind of sad, because my one great aunt fell off a bike and was in a wheel chair. :( Another great aunt fell and broke her hip. And another beloved great aunt had to go to the hospital for chest pains. Apparently she had several blocked arteries. She had to miss Thanksgiving. It wasn't the same without her. That, my cat was really ill and worrying me, and my oldest sister and her family couldn't make it over. So I spent days on end making food. I kind of make food when I'm feeling bad. Kind of like making artwork. Problem is, when I'm all done, someone has to eat it all.

Hey, by the way. Please don't tell me any more secrets. I'm tired of people telling me things that I can't talk about around other people. So if you have a secret to tell me, stop it.

In other news, it was the first snow of the season today. It was beautiful. And it made me miss a party, haha :( My parents ended up missing their parties too. So I stayed in and wailed on Kat in Bloody Roar 2, our new fav. And then my art supplies arrived early, so I made a little maquette of a werewolf. And then I watched SNL. Fun fun...


Hey, can I car pool with someone to Delaware Furbowl 12??

I fell asleep on the couch last night, and woke up around 4 in the morning. Since there is pretty much nothing to do around that time, I drafted some plans for future fursuiting follies X3 Among other things, like checking my nonexistant email, reading the only 5 updated entries on my friends page, and staring at everyone's away messages, lol. But around seven I decided to get to work. Now, I was originally going to go to the store to buy more batting, but I decided to hold off and wait and see if my kanekalon arrives before then. My coupon is until the 5th anyway, lol. I want to see what color it actually is before I order more supplies for it.

So today, I got to work foaming and finishing a wolf mask I started a long time ago. A long long time ago. April long time ago. And even though I was going for "realistic," I got "scary." Haha. Why does my stuff always look so scary? :(




I think he looks pretty bad ass with just the foam right now. That's me rawring in my mirror, lol. I like how the jaw moves. And he has poofy paws! I can't wait to see how it looks when I'm all done. More progress pictures here: http://s305.photobucket.com/albums/nn209/candychic125/wolf%20mask/

Well, as I was reading my friends page just now, my cat jumped up on my bed and started shaking his paws. They were extremely matted and yellow. Stand out on his pretty white fur. So I looked at him and asked what happened to his paws. At first I thought he might have just gotten out of the pan, but it was really unusual. So I looked him over to see if he was covered in urine. He used to get seizures, and that was one of the tell tale signs. It was only on his front paw, so something told me to go look for a puddle of urine or what have you.

But as I went downstairs, he was following me, almost like he was running ahead of me to show me what happened, I came to the laundry room (where we keep the litter box.) He had thrown up all of his food. All of it. It looked like he threw up everything he ate today. This is really disconcerting, because it was the wet food formula I gave him at 3. And this just now happened, at 11:30. It looked like it hadn't even been chewed. And why hadn't he digested it yet? Over 8 hours later?

This is really troubling for me. I don't know if it's the food, which is Nature's Choice weight management wet pouches. I give it to him now and then because I want to make sure he's eating. He hasn't been eating -any- dry food. Which I suspect is because it's hard for him to chew. But even when he eats the dry, I can tell he's losing his appetite. And he just sleeps and sleeps. I know he's a cat, but I know how much he sleeps. More than usual lately. And when he lays in my arms, he just kind of droops there like he's in pain.

I just don't know what to do. The vet said we can't have him tested before he's done his treatment. But I think I'll call them and ask again.

Returning from the vet today.

Today, I was surprised to see a young vet. That bit isn't surprising, the surprising part is when he introduced himself in a very high pitched lispy voice. I wanted to be like O.o?! You sound like me!! But you're a man! :O But you know, just because some guy is the same height and same tonal quality as a young woman, that doesn't mean he doesn't know what he's talking about. It just makes it kind of amusing :3 At least he's not like my other vet... very strange man... Very strange...

Basically, after I told him about he increased water intake, they explained to me that it could be a couple of things. The predizone steroid actually makes them drink more as a side effect. Okay. Then he goes, well it also could be diabetes, and "We are 15 so it could be kidney failure." I was like >:l So I asked about tests, and he says we need to clear up his skin before we can do a blood test on him. His skin is infected, and it's probably an allergic reaction to the fleas earlier on. I've got a follow up in 2 weeks to get the blood tests and to check up on his skin. He ran the flea comb through the area. No fleas, but several scabs came out. It was kind of icky. And his skin is really red, irritated, and flakey. So to stop the itch he gave me a hydrocortizone conditioner. I just squirt him with that now, and as much as he doesn't like it, he bahaves for me because he knows he gets a treat if he doesn't run away. I also have clavamox to clear up his infection. Mom is better at pilling him than me. They said the pills are cheaper. And I'm like it's fine, he throws up the liquid anyway...

One thing I hate about going to Banfied on the weekends is all the people. And all of the big dogs. I'm not afraid of big dogs, and neither is my cat. But I don't know how well trained the dogs are. I don't want a friendly sniff to turn into an unprecidented attact. You never know how dogs will behave around strange animals. I have no problem getting mauled, though, as long as they don't maul my cat! >:O I also dislike how amazed everyone is that he can walk on a leash. He's very bright and well behaved. Why wouldn't a cat walk on a leash? It took him no time to learn. But everyone's always like "Look at that cat!" And this one lady in check out goes, "Where are you going with that cat? Is that your cat?" No bitch, I stole him. Yes it's my cat, wtf?! >.>; And she goes "I have 11 cats." I did the e.e and was like "Okay I have two. I need to take him home." They had so many dogs in there.
