I've got tickets!!!

For the last 15 years I have had a little obsession with Nine Inch Nails, more importantly Trent Reznor. I have said for years that I was going to see them live, I had to see them live. Just once. There were times when he came close enough to where I lived that I could have went but I could never find anyone to go with me. Well next month he is going to be in Charlotte, NC. And guess what? I bought two tickets for Brian and I!!!!! I am so excited! I cannot wait! And for your viewing pleasure one newish picture of Trent and then one of my favorites of him.

13 days!!!

Only 13 more days til I will be sitting on the beach....infact in two weeks, a few hours from this very moment I will be there. Its been the only thing keeping me sane at work. The very fact that I know in two weeks I will be at the beach for a week. A nice stress free vacation with people I care about. Only 10 more working days!!! Next weekend Brian is working so that he will have enough vacation saved up to go the entire week. I hate that he has to work but I am supposed to do the March or Dimes March for Babies walk that weekend with people from work. I actually should have posted this link a long time ago to try to raise money, but much like everything else in my life I slacked off. Anyways if you would like to donate money to my team at work for March of Dimes this is my personal page, if you donate it sponsors me.... Donate to March For Babies here I am going to go post the link on facebook and myspace too...maybe I will raise a little haha. :)

Katatonia

About a year or so ago Brian sent me a link in AIM chat to listen to a band called Katatonia. Over the years Brian has sent me thousands of links of songs to listen to. Some I didn't like at all, most I liked a little and some I down right loved. He sent me a song called In the White by Katatonia. I fell in love with it. But I didn't do much research on the band or listen to any of their other stuff until I moved here. But then it was just in his car and usually I was too busy talking (I do that alot) to really pay attention. So I knew I liked atleast three of their songs pretty well and about a week ago I put one of their albums on my ipod so I could listen at work. And now I am just absolutely inlove with their music. I love the lead singers style. He looks nothing like he sounds, not to me anyways. Their music is slightly haunting and their lyrics...well you would just have to listen. Thats my current music kick....I plan to plug my ipod in as soon as I get in my car and listen to them on my way to work and then some more while I am at work.

In other random news....my throat REALLY hurts, I have been on the verge of getting sick for days now. I wish it would either just go away or get me really sick so I atleast have a reason to stay home and in bed. Also, thanks to a video on Otep's blog I now want a pet Lemur badly!

Only 26 more days!

Only 26 more days until my vacation starts. So 27 days and I will be at the beach for a week soaking up the sun and relaxing as much as possible. I cannot wait!!! We will luckily still have internet access there and I am taking my laptop so maybe you will see some updates with pictures here and there. It will be the first vacation for Brian and I! And the first time I have seen my mom since Christmas. Its hard not being able to just hang out with her anytime I want. But atleast I am lucky enough to be able to spend a week with her and several other relatives in May. I am so excited!! Here are some pictures of Oak Island NC where we will be vacationing in May and where I have vacationed several times in the past! One of my favorite places :) First one is my mom and step-dad walking on the beach at sunset looking for shells and then another taken from our beach house in 2007. We won't be staying in that beach house this year but one farther down the beach and one that doesn't have houses on either side of it :)

I FINALLY got it.

As of Thursday night I am now the owner of a Honda Fit Sport! When I moved down here a year ago I said I was going to get one. I am so glad, its so much better than my old car that I had had for 8 years! Its nice to actually want to drive everywhere again. Brian's parent's are here for the weekend. They are currently napping. They got here at like 7am this morning and his dad had been up for something like 20 hours. I guess we will be doing some shopping this evening and probably going out to eat somewhere. Its going to be a busy weekend, I am already looking forward to sleep next weekend!!

So I have this goal.

I am kind of strange in the fact that I typically will not order food out anywhere until I have seen what it looks like. You'd probably never guess it from my weight but I am extremely picky. So I created an album on my flickr site just for pictures of food. I have only started heavily adding pictures in the last week....everything else has been random. But its pretty neat. I am hoping over this weekend with Brian's parent's visiting us that maybe I can add quite a few new pictures to the album. I hope to one day have hundreds of pictures in that album....for now I think its only around 30. Anyways here is a picture from one of my favorite entrees at On The Border, its the Southwest Chicken Tacos. Taken with Brian's iphone.

So I'm a geek.

**** I wasn't always. I started playing World of Warcraft just so I could talk to Brian more. Apparently 8 hours a day just wasn't enough. And to my surprise I actually enjoyed it. So much so that I have been playing for a year and 3 months at this point. Its actually fun and a great thing to do when you are bored. But anyways I thought I would share some pictures of my WoW characters. First is Kerris, my hunter, I just recently created her a few weeks ago so she is only level 22. Second is Amaryliss, my paladin, this was my first and ONLY character for a very long time she is currently level 70 because I haven't found the will to take her to 80. Third is Twylight, my shaman, I am not sure why I created her...I was just bored and felt like playing something different for a little while, this is why she is only level 16. Fourth is Roserlyn, my rogue, she is a very fun character to play but I haven't touched her in awhile. I also did not pick her name it was one of the random names....now I wish I could change it without paying, she is level 26. And last but not least is Zoedia, my death knight, she is currently sitting at level 74. When the new expansion came out anyone who had atleast a level 55 character could create a death knight which started at level 55. She is incredibly fun to play and can do the most destruction of any character I have. So thats my little moment in geekdom and on that note I am off to play Kerris a little while before bed.

Starting over...

I am planning on posting here again, although no one really reads this anymore. For quite some time I was on a roll with this posting everyday. I just took a hour and deleted probably about 75% of the content. But here is to a fresh start..... and a new picture from the present.... This is a picture of my two girls, Onyxia and Bella :)
