I had like 2 hours of sleep but woke up for my shift all awake and perky and I was fun until nowwwww and now I am crashing hhh. I lector'd it up at mass again. T'was nice. HOT AS HALE THOUGH and I had to park far away and bklsfds who cares

i will tell you though that my dad's friend bill called and i had to give my dad the phone to call him back
what proceeded that was half a conversation about some misunderstanding over an anecdote at the EMT picnic on saturday
it more or less closed with my dad saying the following:

"Bill you know our friendship has been through a lot and it'd take more than that to change it. I love you, man, and hell. I'll even say I'm sometimes sexually attracted to you.

"Oh, woops. I think I just scarred my daughter for life, HA.

"...Yeah, I do think it is your cute butt."















yep

in other news my neighbor's beagle is having puppies
or already had them today
idk i didn't check

this is the worst post ever i'm too tired to care i have no motivation to


but dad says i should think about trying to print a small graphic novel
huh
noelleno: (DC: shut up you love me)

For some reason, this shirt+hat always makes me feel confident and more adult than most anything else I wear or have worn.

Today, I...
• changed the litter, only to find we didn't have too much left (Nieva's going to have to pucker a bit until tomorrow's grocery trip I guess)
• was caught by two trains on the same track (I bet it was the same train both times actually)
• got a variant cover of Emerald Warriors #1 for regular price! the folks at Ben's are seriously too awesome to me (they even said they'll get me into the next Novi con for free as a store employee if I want)
• went bike riding through Willow which proved to be too much for my knees/thighs on the gentle inclines, sobs (the 91º heat+humidity didn't help)
• slammed my toe against a stick and blood exploded everywhere BUT IT'S LIKE THE TINIEST LITTLE SCRAPE yet blood oozed all over my sandal??
• took pictures of my pets which i will share now--


belle and nieva )



I have a bunch of stuff in my sketchbook I should scan tonight to make up for the shit quality of my art postings. Sorry about that. :[
noelleno: (SLAY: o.........kay)
HEE HEE WHOLE FAMILY GOING TO SEE TOY STORY 3 YAYA--



...uh



Dad: Tell Katie the show's at 1:30
Mom: She's in the shower.
Dad: Oh.
Mom: I'm waitin' for her to get out so I can pee.
Dad: Ah, the joys of external genetalia.
Mom: >:| Yeah I can't just whip it out and pee against the garage.
Me: .,.,,.
Dad: That's right!





....,so yeah. first family movie outing since Wallace and Gromit AND THIS TIME DAD'S NOT GONNA SLEEP THROUGH IT.,,.
oh just kidding mOM'S A SPOILSPORT AND WON'T GO WITH US



LMAO MY DAD

in reference to a cute pizza delivery boy with plugs--

Dad: DON'T YOU DARE BRING ONE OF THOSE CHIMPANZEES HOME I DON'T CARE IF HE'S GOT A 4.0
Me: OR A PHD?
Dad: I DON'T CARE I'M MAKING A SOCIAL STATEMENT DON'T BRING ONE OF THOSE PLUGHEADS HOME
noelleno: (SLAY: ok hold up what)
Oogh. I'm redefining the notion of being "worried sick".

• I think my body's telling me that dinner every day is a requirement, because...ghnnvhg. This morning is rough. Hopefully I start to feel up to snuff in a couple hours, because I'd rather not have to call off work. You only get so many hours, and minimum wage is minimum enough, y'know? I think I better start nosing around for a second job (I typo'd that dog; dangit mom and Belle stop distracting me). By the time August hits, something should open up with all the baby college kids dropping hours to focus on their shiny, new studies. I don't think I can go another winter season without income, not with the way it affected my savings this past summer.

• Mom and Dad are back from Tennessee. They brought me back sommore things for my 'holy bling', as it were--I have a silver chain loaded with medals and collected things. They got me a colored cross (turquoise on one side, red on the other) and a new medal of St. Lucy that's different than the one I already have. It has the Sacred Heart on the back, too, so it's double nice. I'd like to hope that the weight of all these things and the jingle as I move and walk will remind me of important things, especially when I'm feeling extra petty or cranky.

• Riverfest tickets. Livenation is selling fourpacks for 93 dollars. I want I want I want. I want. Avett Brothers, Justin Nozuka, and One Eskimo for 93 dollars. I'm trying to convince the parents to take advantage of this and make it our ~mini family vacation~ since I. Don't have a lot of friends in close proximity for things like this. Unless a few of y'all would like to suddenly be up in Michigan and rock out with me for a night--this would be acceptable.

• Speaking of eventful Saturdays, if I can get one off in the near future (curse you, Jim--stop plotting my entire month of work ahead of me!), the fam and I will take the long and farm-filled journey to Carey, Ohio and attend a mass at the basilica. And this time we'll actually find it, not like...that little adventure last year that some may recall. Oh, Ohio. :|

• Aaa, I am starting to feel better now. Good.

• There's footage of the tornado and damage from the storm days previously. You can see my Uncle Bob's yard at :40 in the first clip! I recognize the other neighbor's shed. LMAO OH MY GOD MY GRADE/HIGHSCHOOL CLASSMATE FRANK AT 1:40 IN THE SECOND CLIP. He lives a few houses down lmaoooo FRANK UR ON THE TV INTERNETS. Dad: "BUT WHERE'S HIS PARROT SHIRT?"
Our little town making little headlines on our little corner of the world, teehee.

• Haha, now I'm feeling a lot better.

Ah, yeah, I got some questions from the resident [livejournal.com profile] sentienttoaster that I can put in here, too, because surely you're not sick of reading this post already! but we'll hide it just in case )



And now it's music tiiiime DOUBLE MUSIC I FORGOT YESTERDAY lalala )



I hope everyone has a good day today.
AND I WANT TIMELY NOTIFS BACK 8'[

woo

noelleno: (LEIJI: derp)
It's been like two months since there's been any (English translated) word about the new Harlock pilot. 8'| Apparently it aired at some film fest, but. But where is it. Internet, you're supposed to have everything.

I would just really like to know if I have a new space adventure to look forward to in the near or somewhat-near future. :[ And in a perfect world as directed by Elle, a new Harlock series would also include revisiting Warrius Zero and the Karyu and timeline inconsistencies be damned.


In the meantime, rewatching Slayers EVOLUTION-R as if I'd never actually watched it before. Because lmao I totally forgot about Nama the armor. This show is funnier than I remember? Perhaps my "NOTHING CAN BE BETTER THAN SLAYERS NEXT" bias was clouding my judgement on thissun. I mean. All the canons were called Jillas cannons. :') How do I miss this shit? I wonder if moe!human!Zel is as utterly hideous as I remember (he probably is). But l-lol the "WH...I'M...I'M NOT A MONSTER *RUNS INTO THE HORIZON SOBBING*" was precious.


ARE PEOPLE IN THIS HOUSE GOING TO LET ME ACTUALLY SHOWER GAWDJEEZ. I suppose this means I should just play Spore.



FFFFFFFFFF my parents.

MOM: (in reference to shit to do before going out shopping:) Dear maybe you should go outside and stare at the big hole of water with your other male friends.
DAD: oH! YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I'LL DO *gets up all excited-like
ME: ...What the hell is it with men and standing around staring at holes in the ground.,


GAW FINE THIS TOO *RIPS OUT OF KAT AND GARRETT'S POSTS
♥ Comment with the name/title of a fandom I'm aware of, no matter how obvious you think the answers will be, and I'll reply you with the relationships -canon or not- from it I ship.

noelleno: (DIS: and by lame i mean AWESOME)
My Mom and I are watching the news, and they were talking about Dodge's new logo replacing the Ram and other things and--

Me: Wow they...didn't put much thought into this did they.
Mom: It's because the ram looks like a uterus.
Me: ...What
Mom: LOOK AT IT IT LOOKS LIKE A UTERUS WITH THE TUBES
Me: ...,
Mom: I bet a woman designed it just for spite BU


Ahhh and it's only 7:30am. Today's gonna be a good day.

And woop, the Mercury line's gettin' cut. Alas, poor Cougar, my first car. I knew ye well. Your doorside control panel popped out each time I closed the door. *nostalgic sigh.
noelleno: (DC: i am a superb whistluh)
Okay, Storm of Swords, I forgive you. That was delicious. LONG AS HALE AND FULL OF OBNOXIOUS CLIFFHANGERS, but delicious. Lots of interesting happened here. A Feast for Crows is on the table next to me, and I'll begin inhaling that at work within an hour. And then......idk. Maybe I'll abstain from book binging again because LOL MY FREE TIME. Or maybe I'll reread the Aurian books cause I remember enjoying them but that was when I was an idiot child so maybe they suck. We'll see.

A thank you for the patience of the three who have me under commission at the moment. I can't do digital work while I'm in a tollbooth, so the going is slower than anyone would like. I'm off Monday, though, so I ought to put a good dent in things, mojo levels willing. God, I am so obviously not cut out to be an artist professionally if this is how it's gonna be. This realization is sobering, depressing, and outright unsurprising to my cyincal, self-hating self. Even the priest gets at me with the whole "stop beating yourself up gurl", rofl. :[

All my best to your mothers today, flist. Near, far, healthy, ill. Doesn't matter. I used to have a bit of resentment for my mother when I was younger. She had more fun with my little sister, and I bonded better with my father, so I'd always assumed there was a distance there--there was, but it was my making, not hers. Even now, I take note of every single moment we have a laugh together. Like yesterday. If I'd have stayed so prickly like I had in my stupid hormonal middle/high school years, I'd miss out on this shit. I'm doing something right, it seems. Even if I won't be the stellar, studious nurse daughter like her youngest.

I sometimes wonder what it'd be like to have a kid. How amazing it'd be to have someone to share stories and fun little secrets with and dote on them and watch them grow up. I don't think I ever will, though, and I know my mom and the rest of my friggin' family always says "That's what they all say!" whenever it's mentioned, but really. I don't think I could do good by a kid if I can't take care of myself wholly. I entertain the idea of adopting, but that's something to consider way, way, waaaay in the future. A more finanically and emotionally sound Elle could consider that, maybe.

And I guess I feel a little strange now that my parents seem to accept the fact that I may never get married. Or rather, there's less of a point made on me needing to seek someone out. That's all speculation and bound to change from day to day, because seriously, you never know, but. Hm. It's stranger now, I guess. Not alarming or hurtful or wonderful, just strange. Maybe it's because of what happened last summer when I had that little problem, and they don't want me to crack again while I'm doin' my thang in the tollbooth? Idk. I'd like to pretend I'm made of sturdier stuff than that.

I'll get me to a nunnery. (They wear comfortable shoes)
noelleno: (DC: so you'll go anyway)
Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes and gifts and everything that make me so happy, blessed, and grateful. ♥ It means a lot that you would think of me and send some positivity my way. I might need a little more.

Mom called, said my Uncle Greg just had a heart attack. We can't get a hold of Dad-- his phone goes straight to voicemail. Just kidding he answers texts well enough!

My Uncle Greg is a strong man in his 50's; he's a police lieutenant over in Van Buren and he's trained with the FBI and done SWAT work for a long time. I don't want to worry too hard, but you never know how these things are gonna go. My Dad's side of the family has a long history of heart health problems, so...

Hoping, hoping and praying things will be okay. It would be disgusting if something worse were to happen in the family. A birthday and...stuff.

Hoping and praying.


WELP: There was a clot in one of his arteries that caused the problem. They took it out, and say he'll be outta the hospital in two or three days! o/
noelleno: (BB: well oh okay)
Eek. I haven't cramped up this bad in a long time--how lovely to be suddenly beset by gut-crunching pain in the middle of a grocery store! I just wanted to go shopping with my dad, body. He gets one day off his work week, okay? Work with me here.

We bought the turkey today it is large and in charge and I am filled with glee at the thought of it. Turkey and stuffing turkey and cornbread stuffinggggg. And we bought chocolate chip brownie mix too good Lord this is going to be an intense holiday. I don't even care I've been walking and staying as active as I can okay.

Ha, ha, my dad in the truck on the way home, referring to me and my sister: "You may be like strangers now, but a few years later, I bet you'll be like me and your Uncle Greg. I couldn't even imagine...the guy who used to beat me up and slam my face into the pillow and dig his fingernails into my scalp and tell me to HOLD ON LET'S SEE HOW LONG YOU CAN HANDLE IT...you'll be fine." Lol Uncle Greg is the lieutenant for the Van Buren police department now. Idk my family is precious.

Ten more minutes of sitting, I think, and I will start on these chores more or less problem/pain-free.

I had such a good sketching night last night...I hope the groove sticks. Which I guess would mean Oh No another onslaught of OCs hide the children.


Man Star Trek is out on DVD yet I have no will to buy it anymore.
noelleno: (SLAY: gonna rock it at toys r' us YEAH)
Mi familia take 27:
We make a habit of going out (nearly) every Friday night to Big Boy's, get the same obnoxious waitress we all hate but you know whatever. And we pretty much get the same stuff each time because we are adventurous like that. After every meal, Dad attempts to win a plush toy from the claw machine at the exit. He's fairly good--he's gotten at least 20 by now? In...uh. Two or three years' worth of playing. :V

So cut to tonight, were Mom says she saw a Jack Skellington in the machine so I'm like *eyeballs dad...
And we're all off to see the Wizardto the machine but this elderly woman and a friend are slowly waddling to the door with a walker on wheels (Dad tells me he invented the walker with wheels but just didn't patent--he tells me this every time we see one), and so we wait. And they're all "OOP SHIT SORRY" and you know, no big deal. Dad goes "No problem, ma'am, we're just here for the claw machine." And she's all "oh yeah?" and he's like "Yeah, I'm pretty good--I got about 20 of these things at home"

And she goes "Oh you LIAR" in the funniest way I have ever heard in my life and we just laugh (Dad later notes nobody decided to back him up, but hey), and he's like "What--are you related to me or something?"

Two dollars later and no plushie, we walk out and the lady's slowly getting into a car and Dad's like "I WAS GOING TO WIN ONE AND SHOW IT OFF YOU KNOW" and she just laughs and her son's like "I BELIEVE YOU SIR"

So Ma, Katie, and I called dad LLLLIIIAR the whole way home. :']



ALTERNATE ANECDOTE:
My Godparents were at my Grandma's apartment when Dad and I went to visit on Wednesday, and amidst all the weather/politics/etc, we end up discussing the cash for clunkers thing? Since Dad got his truck through it and all. And then about On*Star and how much he likes it blabla, so my Uncle/Godfather? He's all:

"You know, when I was heading the electronics at Ford, I designed this program called RESCUE that we put in all the luxury vehicles back in '92 that'd have a call service at the push of a button and all that. Well the company didn't like the idea of charging people before-the-fact [of using it or not] for it, so the program got cancelled. One of the engineers in my staff was so upset he quit, went to GM, and founded On*Star"

Lol.
noelleno: (VS: oh you gigantic retard you!)
Fact of my life I must accept: It doesn't matter how cute/hot someone's character is/is intended to be. If I draw them? Their faces become putty and suddenly mold into some pretty damn hideous expressions.


My Dad, just now:

"This is fantastic--football and baseball all day. In my mind I'm scoring touchdowns and your mother's in the front row in a tube top going 'Yaaaay Pooh Bear!' (his nickname) cheering me on. And she's wearing glitter eyeshadow that matches my uniform."

OH P.S. if you feel like doing some OC drabbling, DO THIS SHIZ. Is fun. ADD PROMPTS fill some ENJOY.
noelleno: (SLAY: eeheheeheuhuehehehue)
Aaa my head's still kinda woo from all the wine but yeah. My cousin's (second in a month) wedding was today. This was the "formal, church-based, everyone-can-attend-because-it's-not-Disney-World" wedding, so. Yeah. Kinda hard to concentrate when your cousin's goofing off, but eh.

Reception was like fun times twelve. Lots of bad dancing. I did a lot of it, but you really haven't lived until you've seen Nick do the cha cha slide. Or my Dad dance hideously to Love Shack. Good times. I danced with two tall men tonight, and they were both just mentioned in this paragraph. "You're making me dance to Rascal Flatts," Dad said flatly, but it was all gravy. I bet this paragraph doesn't even make sense I'm too tired and woo to care.

Watching my derp cousin dance like an 80 year old man with his baby niece was a delight, too.

The fettucine was gross, but the stuffed potatoes were yum.

Lol at dj picking songs nobody will dance to.

Derp.
noelleno: (LEIJI: get out you suck)

YEAH!! Happy month-plus-five-days-early birthday to ME. :)

Mom got to talk to her sister. Thank God. That's what we prayed for. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any chance of recovery, so. It's a waiting game. If the funeral does end up down there, I might have to drive down there to help Dad on the way, since it's a 2-day drive.

Went to a Dad's-side-of-the-family gathering tonight, since my Godmother and Godfather are heading back to Arizona this weekend or so. It was nice. Everyone's very chatty, though. And it's a little uncomfortable when it gets down to politics. As it always is, I'm sure you know. But I love them. They're very supportive of me. All the crossed fingers for the potential Disney intern gig. And it's nice that my niece seems to like me. Though, she's 3, and apt to forget easily.

Dad held my hand on the ride home. "Thank you for being there," he said.

"Moral support," I said, kind of laughing.

"No, I just love my family."
noelleno: (MISC: kuhurhurhurrryes)
I swear to you this is the last meme I do for like. A week or something. Because this is getting stupid. Also no I'm not doing those true face meme things or whatever that's just...no. LJ's full of enough negative energy so fuck that. But this is tame so. )

Today was a surprise birthday party for my Uncle Greg's 50th. It was at my church's activity center, and it was a nice little event, complete with montage of embarrassing photos and a mini-roast by friends and family. Dad had the best story, though, because when my uncle was a boy, he was a real brat, and spankings or the usual form of punishment wouldn't work. He'd just clench his fist and growl. So my grandma found the only thing that would work is to put him in a girl's sundress with a giant tulip on it and make him parade around the front yard in front of all the passing cars until he had enough. Lmao.

There was also a lot a talk about my job prospects. Sigh. Or lack thereof, depending on which way you spun it. I really need to get my hands on that freelance contract guide, since that might be my only saving grace. Lots of greenbacks start being due November 2009, and me, unable to get a job. Probably the Metropark again in the summer, but after that's over, hhhhhhh. We'll see, I guess.

Oh, Chii--the Christmas card I sent you came back. You must have given me a bad address. :(

Speaking of mail, those of you in my contact list will be getting the most delightful Valentines cards I swear. They're glorious.
