Eyebrows~

I guess i'm going to have to set up my camera, soon! I have an appointment for Tuesday, July 22, at 1:00pm to get my eyebrows permanently tattooed on. I. Am. So. Excited! I'll have to post the before and after images! :)

Do you have / Do you know anyone that has had Cosmetic Tattooing done?

Gaia Online!



If you are a member, you should definitely come to our Guild. We've been recruiting, to no big success. We have a Newsletter and friendly members, I guess all we really need now is you . . . ?

Do you play...

Chess? Parcheesi? Cards? Tell us what you do in your spare time that is non-electronic!

I play Chess and Parcheesi sometimes, I play Monopoly and Sorry (because more people play Sorry than Parcheesi, even though it's essentially the same game) a LOT. As Joseph and myself are fans of Mario World and Mario Party, Legend of Zelda, and other such titles, we decided to play the Nintendo Board Game... Nintendo Monopoly! It's mad fun, we even have the collector's Edition.

Synopsis of Monday, July 14, 2008

Slept in until about 12:30. Woke up, found out that my grandfather had stopped over. Got $250, so i'll be good for a while again. I am SO thankful to the people who keep giving me money, $200 lasts me two weeks, no problem, so as long as I do not splurge on anything, i'm going to be well-fed for a bit. Thank goodness! Laid around and caught a 10-minute-catnap before heading over to Joe's to hang out. Watched him doing the storyline in my favorite PS2 game .hack//G.U. Vol. 2: Reminisce and ate junk food. We ran into his friend Richie, and we let off some sparkly firework things (realllly pretty colors and sparkling orbs, squee!) by the pool, and ate. We played Mario Party for a while. I was Peach, Joe was Mario, Tina was Daisy, and Tony was Luigi. Joe got a lotttt of coins, but he gave 3 stars to me eventually, after STEALING mine. I did get my revenge when he pissed me off, though. Haha. I slapped his sunburn.



*PS: I live with my Grandma, who is divorced from my Grandfather. My Father lives with his Girlfriend (my stepmother is dead, and real mother + half-brother Scotty, 11, are out in Germany somewhere) and my half-brother Ethan and step-sisters Charity and Andy. Joe lives with his Dad and his Fiancee of 9 years, Betty and Betty's Daughter, Krissy and her son Dominic (and the dogs Muggsy and Mandy). Tina, Tony, Kaylin, Anthony, (and the dogs Oreo and Buddy) all live in Florida, Joe's Mom also lives in Florida with her boyfriend/new husband whatever, and Joe's other brother John lives nearby with his wife. So, that's the living arrangements, so you know who i've been referring to in the last 3-4 posts. Please go back to the first one posted today and read them in order :P

How I Got My Sunburn :)

Saturday, July 12, 2008: The day.
Normal stuff. No huge thing to report, except that we had fun doing random stuff, but nothing really Anecdotal. Just a good day, all-around.

Saturday, July 12, 2008: The night.
Wicked freaking Awesome! We, as in: John (Joe's dad), Betty (John's Girlfriend), Joe (le fiancee), Me, Krissy (Betty's Daughter), Dominic (Krissy's Son), Tina (Joe's Sister), Tony (Tina's Husband), Kaylin (T&T's 4-year-old daughter), and Anthony (T&T's 10-month-old son). Ten people, in a max-10-people boat. We're not on good terms with Krissy, but that doesn't mean we have to be evil and make her miss out on it, or just us miss out on it, so we played nice :) I always play nice, honestly. Unless you make me really mad~ but i'm friendly~ :)

Sunday, July 13, 2008: The morning.
Wake up at 9:00 instead of 10:00 by mistake my messing up the alarm clock. D'oh. Play an online game until my dad can take me to subway to get food for while we're out on the boat. We leave in less than an hour, and I get my Five Dolla' Foot Long~ and head over to Joe's. everyone's still sleeping, so we just chill until we're ready to leave.

Sunday, July 13, 2008: The Day.
We take off down the road after getting gas, yada yada; we get to the docks, blah blah blah; we get in the boat and are getting ready, yackity smackity; and we realize: the two Infant Life Vests are still at home! So Krissy and Tina take Anthony and Dominic with them whole they go back to fetch them, so we take the boat out for a spin first. I'm SLATHERED in suntan oil, and am stunned by the beauty of the sea. I feel romantic, like I can feel the sea beneath me, water pushing prow, boat sluicing through waves, just completely enraptured in the sight, feel, and salty smell. I now know how wonderful the sea is, and why Elliott Lurie proclaimed "my life, my love and my lady, are the sea". I may not be in love with the sea (I love Joey far too much), but I can definitely see the attraction and wonder. The horizons! Are beautiful! And the clouds and the crystal clear sky and wonderful rays of sun. The earth is nature, and the sea is the exclamation point on it.

Sunday, July 13, 2008: Babysitting.
Not really, but adorable Kaylin things i'm her personal food-slave. She likes her future Auntie :) She was even saying no to her beloved Nana (Betty). In this process, and because I was on the right side of the boat and Kaylin stood to the left of where I was stretched out to tan, I got saltwater spraying all over my right side, and a mixture of Oreo Cookies, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Pringles, Cheese Doodles, Water, Sprite, Iced Tea, and Kaylin's Saliva all over my left side. MESSY. (But I got cleaned off later, so it's all good.)

Sunday, July 13, 2008: The night.
Sunburn hurts like a bitch.

Sorry for the posting delay!

Was enjoying LiFE to it's fullest today! and Yesterday! And here is why.

Saturday, July 12, 2008: The Morning
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

*moody music goes here* Saturday. The day of the week in which you sleep in. Five-thirty eight in the morning. My lids creak slowly open to a stirring sound, pulling me from a trance-like sleep. I glance wearily over to my father, silhouetted against the door-frame.

"Chrissy," the voice speaks. "Would you mind locking the door after me? I have to go to Pennsylvania and I don't have a key." Blearily I nod my tired head. I rose out of bed, and make my way to the door, wave bye, lock the door, and head back to my room. I lay back down.

Then I turn over. Then my leg itches. I turn back over. Adjust pants. Can't quite seem to get the blanket back how it was. Get up, wave it around to smooth it out out, and drape it over myself. Wrong pillow, switch pillows. Turn over. Start to sweat, throw covers off. Continue to sweat, turn over. Wait a moment. Get up in frustration and turn fan on. Get cold. Cover up. Get hot. Turn fan off and lay without blanket. Cool down. Turn over. Get hot. Get up, turn fan, light, and computer on. The time is six nineteen.

I then proceed to go on the computer, download a bunch of really fun, very addictive games from Big Fish Games and play one. By the time the hour-long free trial is up, it is 7:45, and the phone is ringing. I answer, it is my father. I talk a bit, tell him no, the baby is not up. No, neither is Grandma. Okay, call about the Tattoo about One. Okay, bye. Grab Dogbert's Clues for the Clueless, and head into the bathroom to put a face mask on and read. Finish taking off Face mask at about 8:15, phone rings again. It is my Grandma's sister, Elli. I am informed that I am to wake up my Grandma and brother, as she is going to be at the house in 10-15 minutes. Great. Do that, go back into my room. Elli gets here about nine. About 9:07, the phone rings again. Oh, my god. I am not supposed to be awake until 1:30, I just laid down figuring they wouldn't bug me, and now this?

Knock, knock, knock, click.
Grandma comes in, holding the freaking phone. Jesus H-fucking-Christ. It is Joseph, my lovely fiancee, waking me up at what is essentially the crack of dawn, to announce that we had visitors. I started feeling the urge to strangle an answer to, "Who showed up at your house at NINE in the morning, sweetie? What with our friends having daytime jobs, you know that we never have surprise visitors!" (I may have really only grunted and whined and said "What? But i'm sleeping! Urghhhh, Who!?") And then he said something amazing.

"Tina and Tony!" (His awesome sister and brother-in-law, with their adorable kids and two cute dogs.) SWEET! We have been bored out of our minds and stressed out, a surprise week-long visit from the Floridian Family was really just the ticket! I hurried to get ready to go see them, even applying full makeup since we hadn't seen them in a few months.

"On my way over!"



*P.S. the blog post just before this one is from when my dad woke me up at 5. You'll see it. I was blah and weird, lol.
