I think this one shows just how tiny she is. The whole PLAYPLAYPLAY24/7-thing is getting to us sometimes, but I think we're doing alright. The one thing is that she can't find her water even though it's sitting right next to her food. When she climbs on top of us and meows, we put her next to the water, and then she drinks. Weird.

Leave me a comment and I will give you a letter. Then, go to your journal and post ten things you love starting with that letter. Give your friends letters, too.

Naz, espaces gave me the letter A:
( here here )

People are "things," too. In case you didn't know.

It's Sunday, and I'm working. I grabbed brunch with dad and sis earlier, and now I'm here when the weather is just lovely outside. Oh, well. I'm just hoping my boss gets here soon so I don't have to stay later than I should.

Reply to this with "WORDS!" and I'll give you words I associate with you. You explain them, and post the meme in your journal!

Mel squidpipe gave me:

1. Neurotoxic (I know I know, boring but I don't think I've heard you explain it before): The dictionary meaning of neurotoxic is "poisonous to nerves and nerve cells." My screen name used to be wickedeos for years, and I'd gotten sick of it, so I found neurotoxic when I went searching for a word that described me. I'm obsessed with trying to find something unique when it comes to things like this, and the word poison alone was just too boring and cliche.

2. Typewriters: I love them-- the way they look, the sound, the smell... And I prefer them to computers when it comes to writing because when I write on a computer, it feels like random typing. Typewriters make it more tangible and worthwhile.

3. Art: I'm actually honored you associted art with me because I always feel I'm useless when it comes to it. I've had endless conversations about this with most of my friends who are very good artists. They say being a writer makes you an artist, but I see it more of a craft. But then again, some consider crafts as art as well, so who knows?

4. Traveling: For some reason, people think I've traveled a lot, but I really haven't. I wish I could though. I still haven't seen most of the places I'd love to visit, i.e. Paris, Barcelona, Dublin, etc.

5. Knitting: I used to always say writing keeps me sane, but it's been knitting for the past few years-- you gotta admit, writing has the possibility to drive you insane at the same time. I love creating something from what looks like nothing. And I especially love knitting for friends and family, for those who appreciate the hard work put into it.

And now back to work.

I must mention that I'm rather annoyed by the increasing number of social networking sites. I know I'm the one to blame for wanting to check them all out, but really, WHY?! Thanks to the lovely espaces, I have a dreamwidth.org account now, but I'm not feeling it. For the last 7-8 years, LJ has been the one I always come back to, therefore I have no intentions of letting it go soon.

/rant.

It turns out my friend Merih is in Istanbul. Yesterday, when I was bored at work, I logged on Facebook and messaged most of my friends whom I haven't talked to in a while. Turns out it's a good thing I did. I'm gonna meet up with her tonight, my Spanish lesson is tomorrow, breakfast or brunch with dad on Sunday then I have to come into the office in the afternoon, WORKWORKWORK on Monday, then I'm gonna ask for Tuesday off 'cos I want the whole day to myself for the excitement of Placebo-- it will be the first concert in 1,5 years I'm going to that I actually want to go to. Anyway... I'm rambling because I'm very fed up with work again.

This meme's stolen from withered_petals 'cos it looks interesting...

Copy and paste the above list into your journal, and bold the items that are true for you.

It's been raining all day today, and I absolutely love it-- I can actually breathe again. I'm very much stressed at work right now, so I'm taking a 20-minute break and browsing through the internet. I thought I should stop by here, oh well...

These are the rules (and no cheating!):

1. You can ONLY answer 'Yes' or 'No'.

2. You are NOT ALLOWED to explain ANYTHING unless someone messages or comments you and asks—and, believe me, the temptation to explain some of these will be overwhelming. Nothing is exactly as it seems.

It's so fucking hot that when I lie down on my bed, the sheets stick to my skin, and I fucking hate it. I want my winter back. Other reasons why I hate summer:

• Too many people outside, especially kids and women with strollers.
• Too many people=too many naked chests and legs and such, and most of it is ugly.
• Open-toe shoes with ugly toes inside them.
• The smell of garbage rising from EVERYWHERE.
• People and their fucking holiday plans when I hardly get a few days off.

I'm sure I can come up with a lot more, but my brain is all jello-like.

So... Today I've watched:

• Ratatouille: It's cute, there's no denying that. But the whole "rats in the food" thing freaked me out the whole time. I know they do wash their hands, but they're rats for fuck's sake.
• He's Just Not That Into You: Great cast, shit movie. And I usually love most chick-flicks, so go figure. The best part of it was seeing Scarlett Johansson in her underwear-- it always brings on the drools.

I've decided I'm gonna quit smoking. The world doesn't wanna try and change on its own, so I'll contribute. I've only smoked 10 cigarettes today, which is a big deal since I usually smoke 2 packs a day if not more. Anyway... We'll see how it goes.

ETA: For those of you who are coming to Istanbul and/or wanna meet up at the Placebo show, drop me a line and I'll give you my cellphone number.

1) Write your lj username
2) Write your two favorite bands/artists at the moment (not overall, just currently)
3) Draw a heart

5) Write down your recently favored person.
6) Tag 5 people to do this meme.

Now I'm gonna start my Queer As Folk marathon.

First off... JuJu-love, dreamxobscene:
I got a package today, and it had your name on it. Have I told you how much I love you? I'm sure I did, but I wanna say it one more time; you've totally made my day. I totally did not expect the Augusten autograph, and when I opened the bookmarked page and saw it, I started crying my eyes out. Then the card just made me cry more. It was all very happy tears though, so THANK YOU.

• She got me this beautiful hoodie. I must admit I freaked out a little bit when I saw the size said 14/16, but it FITS! As you can see in the photo, I'm still fat, but I used to be a size 20, so you have no idea how good this makes me feel.
• These knickers are the cutest. I'm going to a Rainbow Party tomorrow night, so I'm gonna wear the Saturday one and show it to her if I see a hot girl 'cos it says "stay the night." ;)
• And finally, my favorite, "Running With Scissors" autographed for ME by Augusten Burroughs.

( Answers for the Top Fives Meme -- everyone better look at this 'cos it took forfuckingever to put together! )

Hope I didn't fuck up any links.

Give me a topic and I'll list my top 5 things. If it's pictures I'll provide them, same with songs. It can be anything you want.

I tag everyone, 'cos I'm that unoriginal.


Earlier today I felt a whole bitching spree coming on about homophobia, but I'm too fucking tired. Plus, this song came on and instantly put a smile on my face. I'll keep it short: how come it's okay that the so-called "good" Muslims are dry-humping each other at Starfuckingbucks, but people try to make a scene when two girls smooch and then sit with one's arm around the other?! Most choose to ignore those kinda assholes, but I can't because I get fucking angry. And when I get angry, I'm ANGRY.

Anyway... I'm actually sleepy for the first time in a long time, so I'm gonna go to bed.

Action #1: The waiter doesn't listen while Zim says, "NO TOMATOES, PLEASE" a million times.
Action #2: Zim doesn't realize he's not listening, 'cos he sure can fake it very well.
Action #3: The sandwich arrives, and Zim asks one more time: "No tomatoes, right?" The waiter nods and leaves.
Action #4: Zim bites into a friggin' slice of tomato.

Reaction?

VOMIT.

I've tried many many many times, and I can't fucking eat tomatoes. And this sort of thing happens to me all the damn time, which is why I tell them I don't want tomatoes more than I should. It really pisses me off because what if I was the kind of tongue-and-face-swelling kind of allergic or something? Grrr.

I'm so fucking exhausted that my kneecaps are vibrating.
