"Poveglia is a small island floating in the lagoons of Venice. In stark contrast to the beauty of its surroundings, the island is a festering blemish. The waves reluctantly lapping its darkened shores will often carry away the polished remains of human bones. ( Read more... ) |

Went to Blue Bayou yesterday. It's the largest waterpark in Lousiana (that's not saying much). It's a 2-3 hour drive to Baton Rouge, but it wasn't that icky. I slept the whole way back home cause i was so exhausted/pained.
Stupid Holly thought you only needed to apply suntan lotion once! In the morning.. even though we stayed out in the sun for 7 hours. OMFG IT HURTS.
Sadly, I didn't get to go on 95% of the things I wanted to between huge 30-40 lines to go on just one damn slide and James being to frightened to ride anything.. I forced him along and felt horribly guilty. He didn't want to come in the first place, so I didn't want him to have to stand in the sun all alone for an hour just so I could ride one slide. He did ride one with me, but that was about it.
Due to those lines, I'm never going back on a weekend.. EVER.. their pool was a pool of humans, not water. Me and James just curled up in a corner somewhere and suckled our $8 lemonade for the most part.
Now I am sunburnt and have this horrible rash between my legs from the skin rubbing together so much >>;
It was still interesting.. even if I didn't have a blast.
In other news.. a few days ago I saw the puppy's mother and his brothers. The neighbors are using our fence as their fourth wall to theirs =/
The puppies look fat and happy, but the mother is nothing but skin and bones. I assume the only reason the puppies don't look like their mom is because they're still breast feeding and not relying on food.
Well, since our fence is their fourth wall, I'm just going to dump some food over. Knowing them they'll bitch about it if they catch me doing it. |

I called my neighbors and they said the puppy was from a stray who had puppies in their backyard. The stay's living in one of their doghouses, so I brought the puppy back to its mom.
I miss puppy though, even if it went back to his mom =( But I know we wouldn't have been able to give it the attention it needed...though..now I'm worried what the neighbors will do with him and his siblings once they get older > |

It rained heavily today. It was the first rain in weeks. The wind was ultra strong and it was definitely tornado weather. After it passed I was bored enough to stomp around my yard to see if anymore baby birds had fallen from a nest (another one I had been sorta looking over vanished this morning and I was sad, finding another and putting it back in the nest would have cheered me up).
All I really managed to do was scare a rabbit, though.
As I passed my mom's huge razor bushes I heard something crying. I approached and noticed its cries were very hectic. I assumed it was some wild baby animal who got scared at me and was screaming for its mom, even though I totally wouldn't have known it was there if it had just kept quiet like how most would do. Because of this it made me curious and I wanted to see what it was. I poked a stick into the bush but nothing happened, and it just kept screaming. Usually animals will get all silent if you're that close to them. So I dug around in the razor grass and got myself cut up very nicely but I still couldn't find it. I tried on the otherside, where something obviously huge had been trampling about, and bent down and saw a little butt! I kept my distance because I assumed whatever it was would bite me if I touched it, but kept looking and noticed that whatever-it-was-head's was stuck in our hurricane fence!
I jumped the fence and went to the other side then got to see its face. It was a little newborn puppy! His eyes weren't even open and he was soaked and muddy and screaming his lungs out. I have NO idea how he got there or who the mom is...we haven't seen any weird dogs around for awhile.
..so..
I was ready to snap that fence in half. But it ended up that the razor grass bush had trapped his head in there, so I had to pull the fence forward to get him out. We dried him and are feeding him puppy formula every two hours. And he likes laying under your shirt.
I'm all cut-up now, though. It hurts. But a puppy in your shirt makes that all better. |

"LAKE ARTHUR – A local man found tracks of what he believes to be a large cat in the same field where two of his horses were apparently killed and partially eaten last week.
Lake Arthur resident Ricky Thibodeaux said two of his three-year-old horses were found dead in a fenced-in pasture last Friday. Both animals suffered extensive wounds to the head and face and appeared to be partially eaten."
This is from my local newspaper. What kind of animal only eats the face off of prey? A few years back there was a 'panther' scare. One crazy man down my road claimed him and his horse were attacked by a 'panther' and then a lot of folks grabbed their guns and went hunting in the fields. All the ended up shooting was someone's boxer.
I think the same thing is about to happen. Oh, in the actual paper it said both horses were found dead right next to each other. WTF. A horse won't stand right there while something is eating his buddy and then let it kill him.
Yeah, I think someone is just wanting attention.
AND
"BATON ROUGE, La. -- The state health department says bacteria levels are too high for swimming at almost every Louisiana beach.
WWL-TV
Port Fourchon Beach.
The only beaches where the water has acceptable levels of intestinal bacteria are Fourchon and Fountainbleu State Park.
The state doesn't close beaches, but puts up signs warning that swimming may be unhealthy. Beaches remain open for boating, fishing and land-based activities.
Public health workers check 22 locations each week, including six along Holly Beach, four at Fourchon (foo-SHONH') and three at Grand Isle.
There are warnings all along Holly Beach and at Constance Beach, Cypremort State Park, Gulf Breeze Beach, Hackberry, Little Florida Beach, Long Beach, Martin and Rutherford.
Grand Isle is temporarly off the list because construction work has closed the beaches.
The state tests for intestinal bacteria. They can come from sewage, storm runoff, livestock or wildlife, and can cause ailments including cramps, nausea, diarrhea and sore throat. "
MMmmmm.... I think I complained here once how we can't swim here. I'm only 30 miles from the coast and I would LOVE to go to a beach. But, yeah. Here's proof. That and I would grow a third arm. |

Yes, they will completely see your genitals too. It isn't mandatory, its just an option over the pat down, but who in their right mind would go through that?? Yeah, they blur your face on the image but the guard is still standing there looking right at you.
I feel that everyone is too paranoid. The terrorists already won by making us jump through loops out of fear.

| A conversation with Mom.. |
|
|
| 05:30am 05/06/2008 |

I'm getting ready to go to bed at 5:30 A.M. and am on my way to the bathroom, but my mom woke up for work was was already in there..
Mom: Why? WHY are you still up?!
Me: *Am eating bread and can't answer. Start getting ready for bed*
Mom: We have a bad rat problem at work. We never catch them but we catch a lot of mice in glue traps and its horrible. They rip their skin off and break their legs trying to get out. Its horrible.
Me: Yeah. That's cruel. (I really did not want to hear about tortured rodents before going to sleep. I wanted happy thoughts like all normal people.)
Mom magically switches conversation: Look how filthy this cabinet is. Just look. You haven't been cleaning anything. Have you even been dusting?
Me: No
Mom: Its part of cleaning house.
Me: If I don't see it I don't clean it. (Because I am not reminded that it's there.. if I see something is dirty then I clean it.)
Mom in disgust: Do you realize how stupid what you just said sounded? Aubrey is trying to do everything with one arm. (Because Aubrey had to have surgery, AGAIN, for slicing his hand open with a machete. I think his accident proneness is just a little convenient, especially considering that he was supposed to return to work the day after he cut it. Oh, and he's back to looking at porn again in the front.)
...and so, that was the first exchange of the day, and why I am constantly trying to avoid her. Next time I'll get ready for bed way sooner so I won't have to come into contact with her. I would like to hear a compliment from her for a change. |

I haven't updated in forever?
Probably because I've been totally content lately.
Tawa is level 70 now and is perhaps the PvP character I've always wanted. I'm raiding with her and Hakka's kinda fallen on the backburner since her plot and all isn't moving very fast due to finding it hard to RP with character's she'd hang out with (Elledro, he's pretty much the only one on the list now).
I am also finding it ironic that I seem to be having less computer time now that its summer than when I was in school. I don't get that. I can't wait until me and James can get separate internet lines.. and a room of my own I can go to for writing. I absolutely can't write with someone giving me attention of any sort. So, yes, I'm insanely behind on blogs because of this. Even moreso than usual!
I also really, really want to write a story of some sort that has nothing to do with RP or those characters. Something I could maybe try to get published. It's always been a goal of mine since I was in second grade. Probably won't happen anytime soon though. The words of some female writer we studied keeps going off in my head about how a woman, or anyone for that matter, needs money and a room of their own to write. Money so that they don't have to work too much and can concentrate on writing and a room of their own to avoid distractions. Mostly its just the room thing I totally agree with, though I'm sure that back in their time 'working' meant from dawn to dusk labor and no electricity at night to write with. |

The Realmportal channel...
We got on the subject of people RPing catgirls in WoW, and I went off on how they don't belong, etc, etc. Well, I wasn't aware people on our server actually did that. Even more, I wasn't aware that these people were in the realmportal channel.
I got mauled by said people. I played nice and apologized.. but.. these people made me cringe. One said how he had a GF who played a catgirl on ShC and there was nothing wrong with it, and worgen existed so catgirls could too. Logical enough I guess, but then he kept making all these sexual remarks too. Said he was was attracted to tauren (which I was on at the time), and that him and his GF would only cyber in whispers. There was much more to this.. it lead me to believe he was making moves at me. Just tons of innuendo. It was very uncomfortable.
Then the other was just a plain out furry who said she was a coyote furry and was a little weird doing ooc dog emotes at me, but no where near as creepy as the guy.
They were both EXTREMELY aggressive over it until I apologized. Like, hurtful towards me. Though we mostly patched things over, I feel raw over it. And now that guy just creeps me the hell out. He even thought that I wanted to cyber with him.
I guess this just backs my theory that its not the idea of catpeople in WoW, but the type of people 'catgirls' would attract.
*Shudders*
Ugh.. they wouldn't be here if it weren't for the belves. Please go back and play nelves..please..!
Granted, as I said before the furry wasn't too bad.. but god, that guy.. |

We had a huge storm last night. It was so bad that parts of I-10 had to be closed due to flooding.
Since it is that time of year where baby birds are hatching, I checked around the yard in case the storm had tossed any out of the nest, and sure enough I found two. One was dead, and the other was just sitting there in a puddle. He had some feathers, but still was kinda pinkish, and there were ants gathering around him and it seemed he was too weak to hobble away. He didn't even try to get away from me, so I picked him up and set him in a box with bits of an old T-shirt in it then left him under the tree, now nice and dry.
I pondered if I could maybe help feed him, like at night perhaps, or just whenever. Plus, I don't like the idea of just leaving him on the ground there in case it starts raining a lot again.. it floods a lot where I live (lollousiana), and ants like to go surfing. So I look online to what I can feed him and find this..
"First of all, it must be noted that if you are not licensed by your state and possibly federal governments {depending on species}, you are not legally allowed to care for or posses wild birds {alive, dead, parts of, nests, eggs, etc, blah-blah, on and on - you know how laws are!}. Well, with that in mind, the following is for use by "qualified" persons only! It's really best to get the bird to a rehabilitator as quickly as possible. Raising a bird is time consuming and often ends up with dismal results if attempted by an inexperienced person. Malnutrition {an all too common and disturbing result of an improperly fed bird} , broken / soiled feathers, and human imprinting are often the results. Many times the birds are "confiscated" by state/federal authorities and are euthanized."
WTF? Someone want to explain that to me? Me and my mom have always raised baby birds, opossums, raccoons, and whatever we found. A lady who was licensed even brought them to us to care for when she was full! It appalls me that the answer to most things animal-related is euthanization. |

First-- I feel so much better than I did yesterday.
Now, remember that prescription medicine I lost? Wal-Mart called me. They found it in a bag of other stuff that, "seemed to have already been paid for", but they didn't say exactly what else was there.
A lady who we used to baby sit for works at the pharmacy and she had the pills and items I lost. She is a very hard-core conservative Christian. So, I go and get the stuff, wondering what other items I had forgotten. She sees me and we wave at each other.
I'm like "yay I got teh pillz now!"
I didn't check what was in the other bag until I left the store. When I did, I discovered a box of condoms and contraceptive film as the only two items in there.
Boy was my face red. |

Holy fuck what's wrong with this picture????
I'm awake before 12 P.M. on a weekend.
I stayed up until 5:20 last night playing WoW, knowing full well that today was Mother's Day and that I would have to study today. I never study study before 1 P.M. anyway. So the plan was I'd wake up at 1-2, study, then when my mom got back from my brother's house I'd hand her the present.
That was the plan. That's what I do every Mother's Day. I despise my family. I won't suck it up and be nice. I don't go to their Mother's Day party. Ever.
Instead my mother wakes me up at 10 A.M. (after five hours of fucking sleep) and insists that I say something on one of those recording cards for my Grandmother and also insists that I go with her to my brother's.
I can't go back to sleep once I wake up. On 6 hours of sleep I am cranky. On 5 hours of sleep I do not function.
If finals weren't FUCKING TOMORROW I would have sucked it up. I told her with much attitude that it was lovely how she woke me up with finals tomorrow.
Oh, well, she just bought the card yesterday. I don't care. Call me heartless. I bought *my* gift three weeks in advance. That isn't my fault that she procrastinated, and I shouldn't be affected by it.
IF she would have simply had me do it yesterday, or told me she intended for me to do it early in the morning, there would be NO issue. I just did what I do every weekend and stayed up late. Just because I have finals tomorrow does not mean I have to wake up at 6 A.M. to study. I have made fantastic grades following a schedule that fits me, not her.
Another thing, I would not be so emotionally disgruntled if she had not went haywire and screamed at me for telling her I found it inconsiderate of her. My voice never turned into a yell, whereas she completely flipped out out me. And the best lines ever were:
"YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE STAYED UP ALL NOT PLAYING THAT DAMN GAME." Yes, blame the game please. It's all the game's fault even if I stay up every Mother's Day, every weekend, and every night I do not have school regardless of what it is I am doing. I'm playing that damn game 24/7.
And I don't have my own responsibilities that I set time up for ahead of time. Even if it is fucking Mother's Day, because my school certainly doesn't give consideration to that.
So, after trying to get back to sleep for two hours, I simply cannot. My eye burn from tiredness but my mind refuses to shut down to rest. Now, how am I supposed to study like this? I don't care IF it is Mother's Day today, because the school certainly took no consideration to not have finals the day straight after. I suck it up and I handle it, but she cannot expect to miraculously change my plans on a dime without telling me a thing before I stay up all fucking night as I always do.
Also, this whole thing was over HER mother. I HATE her mother, my grandmother. She actually cried when she learned my Aunt was dating a black man a year ago. I think it's easy to tell why I dislike her. Her views are extraordinarily conservative, and for someone as liberal as me, we just don't get along.

mood:  bitter

I don't think I've had many time when my allergies have gotten so bad that my eyes start freaking out just as much as my nose. Its bad and nasty. Sneeze. Sneeze. Scratch eye. Eye burns. Sneeze.
So, I took some benedryl and feel like I'm going to die from tiredness, but at the same time I feel anxious and sad, so I want to stay up and just talk to people.
Something did happen to trigger my anxiety today. I thought a lot about it until I just felt helpless. This lead to depression. =/ Other things happened to night to make me feel a little sad too, and I just really don't want to sleep even though my body wants too because of nervousness from finals and various other Irl issues. It seems these thoughts always get the worst at night, too. I'll be getting some more medicine for anxiety tomorrow. Good.
Most of all I just want school to be over with. I've had enough and my nerves are stressed out from it. I find myself being incredibly thoughtless and cruel in situations where I usually wouldn't be. I hope it's from stress, because I don't like being like that.
I'm trying to keep people together, but it isn't working, so I feel sad about that too. Okay.. I'm going to go to sleep now.
There has been a bright side though; RP is really looking up. |

I somehow lost my anxiety medication two nights ago. Won't this be great?
At least I no longer have any fear of driving..well..not too great of one. When this 18 wheelers get around me I start to freak, but besides that I'm okay.
It's just my other anxiety I'm worried about. Just tonight it got triggered, F'd with my head.
If a certain WOMAN wouldn't make me keep my medication in my room I wouldn't have lost it. My desk it covered with delicate food items, computer stuff, and trinkets that will get lost on the floor. We have absolutely no place to put this stuff, because my mom refuses to allow us to put anything that we bought (besides milk for obvious reasons) anywhere besides the room, this includes medication. So now it's lost. Since I lost the bottle, I don't have the prescription number, so I can't reorder.
Oh, and tomorrow I have to drive all the way to school just for one class. ~_~ |

Earlier tonight just as we were getting back home from James house I saw the headlights reflecting off of a lot of bugs. This made me think of fireflies. I complained to James that I haven't seen a firefly for years, and that my mom said it probably had something to do with the pesticides the farmers were doing.
This made me feel depressed.
When I got out of the car I happened to look up and saw a shooting star -- only it wasn't a star. It was bright green. Then I saw two others light up as they hovered about our yard. |

And then the dreaded finals. BUT we are having a party for one final and not actually having a final, which is awesome. I'm sure this is highly against University rules, but I won't argue =) |
