-Hello, friendly friends. Yes, I am alive. No, I have not abandoned LJ, even if I have abandoned my paid account. (It expired...I have no money. Liz will get herself a brand new Petrelli-friendly layout when she wins the lotto...oh yesh...) And finally, yes Virginia...there *is* a Santa Claus. :P

-A little about home: Dad's in the hospital. Long story short? Another infection...sorta. Infection sent him there (under his own power, he scheduled an ambulance transport himself and did his own admitting...the whole nine yards), and turns out they found circulation issues in his leg. Not the lymphedema mind you...he's got arterial blockage, and today he's going in for an angiogram/angioplasty. The angiogram is an exploratory procedure...like taking an x-ray of his veins. If they find the blockage isn't too bad, they insert a catheter and use a balloon to move the blockage and clear the way...that's the angioplasty part.

The fun side? He refuses to be awake for it...he's demanded that they put him under anesthesia. He *says* nothing can go wrong? But he basically drove himself into the hospital...most of you know the story, but for those who don't: he waited five and a half months for this thing with his leg to get this bad. Anyway, I no longer trust him. So...if you pray, just do me a favor today and warn God that Liz will be PISSED if anything happens to him. ;)

-In other news...about a week or so ago, I won $300 on the local radio. *insert cheering section here* It's like a payroll gimmick...they call a name every hour, and if you call in to accept, you get $100 an hour until the next person calls in when they get their name called. I registered...I got called. No one else called in for 3 hours, so I made some SHWEET bank. Oh yesh. My check's in the mail, so I'm just all bouncy to get it now. HEE!

-Why did I use this icon? BECAUSE IT'S FUNNY.

-I heart Wentworth Miller. And Milo Ventimiglia in all his short-haired buffness. [/end random love]

-I've been watching BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and the decision has come in: I need either a Kendra, Jenny Calendar, or Rupert Giles muse. That is all.

-I don't make icons anymore. Why is that? *decides to make icons*

-Okay, so who here shops at Target? *looks at show of hands* So, they have these dollar bins in front of the store, right? And the stuff there changes all the time. So they've been selling this really *awesome* dollar jewelry...bracelets, necklaces, earrings, etc. I picked up a BUNCH of cute stuff...some earrings shaped like angel's wings, a heart necklace, a fleur-de-lis necklace...

And then the other day I picked up another necklace that I thought looked cool. I wore it to the hospital to see Dad yesterday...and he says it's a Nazi symbol. The necklace has a symbol that looks like this, but without the swastika.

Now I have relatives that were in concentration camps...my dad's family is Jewish. I would never knowingly wear a Nazi symbol. But look? I did...Dad told me to look it up online, and I did, and until I saw it with the swastika emblem? It did NOT click with me that the necklace was an Iron Cross.

I got this at Target, peeps. TARGET. This HOW FUCKED UP IS THAT MOMENT has been brought to you by the letters W, T, F, and by the number 0...as in never again. Yeah, I'm taking that shit back.

-I'm on a huge Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, and Eagles kick lately. I must download tuuuuuunes.

-Speaking of Target...I now own an I <3 JIM mug. As in THE OFFICE. Why yes, I am awesome...thank you for noticing. :P

-And did I mention my Dwight Quote Pens? What? Yes, I am *also* made of win, thank you! ;p

-I think me and rogueapprentice are STILL the only people on the planet who loved THE KILL POINT. We rock. And roll. All day long. SWEET SUZIE. [/end seekrit movie quote language]

-SAM/JO. WTF? SO RANDOM BUT SO GOOD. [/end seekrit message to You Know Who You Are]

-Okay, time to get some work done. And....stuuuuff. I don't post enough, I know...please collect your free pass to kick my ass into doing shit, right here. Line up, nice and orderly people...

Time for a random life update...but if you put up with my bullshit? I promise you pretty. *nods*

My weekend, she was good. Even if I didn't sleep much. Hee. rogueapprentice needs to be tarred and feathered for giving me yet ANOTHER fandom addiction, and a pretty man to lust after. FARSCAPE. I will say no more. Between her and lollobrigida, I'll never be safe from fandom again.

Speaking of my enablers, got my income tax refund on Friday...$900. Means I went SHOPPING!!! My big purchases? A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, as I detailed, and THE PRETENDER S2. So Christina, fear not if you can't finish burning that copy for me. I'm set. But I will need S3, woman! Right now! Or later...or much later, since you're busy...y'know, any time is good...*giggles*
