The Gypsy

I'm having fun playing a vampire game online. I have a very small clan, so most of the advances are made by myself. I do have an adviser that has helped, but I've done most of it alone. I play nicely, and only take a few sips from my victims. However, when I am attacked over and over again, I just put them on the hit list, and move on. I've worked my way up to earn over 3 million units of blood an hour, so I have lots to spend.

In real life, I can't even donate a unit because my veins are so funky, but in the game I have banked over 12 million units. I wish it were real so I could actually do some good, but in the meantime, it's a great way to vent frustrations. :)

I'm the Gypsy - I'm guaranteed
I'll tear your soul apart:

Ave Mary A

Last week was a very stressful week, but I'm trying to take deep breaths and get through it. I'm finding peace where I can, but even I have my breaking points. My patience is quickly running out. My Irish temper is slow to ignite, but look out when it does. I'm trying to rein it in, but as each day goes by, I'm more and more tempted to change the circumstances drastically. GRRRRRR!

Yes, I know it's been a long time since I posted.

I'm now reading Warriors: Into the Wild by Erin Hunter. My daughter loves the series, and I decided to see why she likes it. It has cats, so of course she likes it for that. But it is a good book. I'm very glad they have a list of characters in the front, because it's hard to keep track.

It's funny that I'm reading a book for a younger audience, while my daughter is reading Lamb: The Gospel According To Biff, Christ's Childhood pal, which is for a decidedly older audience. I think that's funny and cool that we like the same types of things. She likes the song Satellite by Guster, and really likes the video:

I watched the show Cupid last week, and enjoyed it. I look forward to seeing it this week. They even discussed baklava. Opa! Tomorrow is The Day That Will Live In Infamy (for me, at least).

I'm Still Here

It's been a busy week. Haven't had a chance to sit and think. Hopefully soon.

Very important to keep that in mind.

A White Picket Fence Around Chaos

Before I start today's post, I thought of a perfect song for the last one I posted. Yeah, I know, to do it right I should go into the old post and edit it. Too bad. :)

Now for today's post. The title comes from a chapter of the book I'm reading now, Coyote Blue by Christopher Moore. The first book of his that I read was Lamb: The Gospel According To Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. I think I still love Terry Pratchett's books a little more, but Moore is becoming a close second.

Coyote Blue is all about chaos, and how the main character deals with it. Lots of helpful hints, which I desperately need. I don't care for chaos. Some people thrive on adrenaline and excitement. I'm a slow and steady type of person. I even prefer the Steady State theory of the creation of the universe, even though lots of evidence points to the Big Bang. Actually, the latest theory seeks to combine the two, because there is evidence to support some version of both.

So, I encourage everyone to check out Christopher Moore's books. And I don't even get a percentage of the sales. :)

Oh, well...

Yes, I do have fun in dance class, but some days are better than others. Yesterday was a bit humbling. We did extensive veil work, then formed a circle, and each lady got to perform for a short improv. I had pictured what I wanted to do, and was just starting out when I guess I stepped on the veil or something. The next thing I knew, I landed on my fanny. BTW, fanny is a really bad cuss word in the United Kingdom.

Anyway, I laughed for a little while, then quickly finished up and tagged the next lady. I think the teacher actually was glad that it happened, because afterward she talked about how these classes are safe places to experiment, and that sometimes leads to temporary setbacks, but we need to persevere. I practiced this morning, and I'm hoping she'll let me have a Mulligan next week.

I thought about posting Britney Spear's video for Oops I Did It Again, but I'm not a big fan of hers. So I will work on my grace, and hope next class is better. :)
