My boyfriend is not quite so addicted to TV as me. That is why he doesn't understand the sheer awesomeness of Heroes coming back on in September. I must educate him... alas, I do not own (and certainly cannot afford) the first two seasons on DVD. If any of you fabulous people do, and wouldn't mind lending them to us for educational purposes, we would appreciate it. | | Wednesday, June 4th, 2008 | | 11:57 am |
I am a dork. The latest evidence of this was just now, reading my chemistry book... and instead of "refining of ores", I read, "refining of orcs".
To be fair, I lost my glasses last week. But still... WOW.
Although that is a fun mental image to play with. Charm School for Orcs. | | Thursday, May 22nd, 2008 | | 5:07 pm |

Last night was the Flashback Prom. The theme was Revenge of the Nerds. We looked great and we had a great time. I'll post pics tomorrow.
Afterward we went to Elysium, the goth club, in our nerdy 80's gear and had even more fun. A fabulous time.
Today I am terribly hungover. It's funny how I know better than to do certain things, but at the time I just don't remind myself of that. Lane is at the lakehouse with his Dad and stepmother, and I had to miss out because I was too busy puking and holding my head in agony. :-(
But... for Mother's Day, really, there's no place I'd rather be than at home with my zoo. These are my babies, and even David's dog Polly is here visiting. A happy Mother's Day to me, surrounded by my eight furry and scaly children, ages 7 months to 8 years. I love you all! | | Thursday, May 8th, 2008 | | 12:42 pm |

I got quite the surprise in my inbox today. A reply to an LJ entry of mine... that I wrote four and a half years ago. It was about my cousin that was murdered. This guy, I don't even know him, "stumbled upon" my entry and commented, because he was friends with one of my cousin's roommates who was also murdered that night.
Bizarre how things like that happen. I don't know this man, and I don't know how he stumbled upon the entry, but it made me realize that this summer will be five years since that night. I don't remember when I was told that he had been killed, but I do remember a few days later when I was told the horrible details of what had happened. I will never forget that. What a sickening, despairing, enraging feeling. Five years later and it is still hard for me to think about it or talk about it without becoming choked up. I cry when I see movies that remind me of him. It doesn't seem like that long ago.
We weren't even that close when it happened. We had been close as children but had barely spoken as adults. I can't imagine what it must have been like, and still be like, for his immediate family that were so close to him. Unspeakable. | | Friday, April 25th, 2008 | | 1:00 pm |

Cute Couple/Cute Puppy Pics Go to http://www.myspace.com/candyce23 and click on the Pics link under my picture. They are in the Wild Kingdom and Easter albums. Of course, I think this may only work if you are a member of myspace. Since I am too lazy to put these all on my geocities page, I think it's worth it to register even if you don't build your own space. All my pictures will probably go here unless someone recommends a good, free, easy-to-use photo sharing website. | | Thursday, March 20th, 2008 | | 6:26 pm |
I'm getting a puppy!
Saturday morning I go to pick up my new puppy (I will still be out at the land Saturday afternoon if you're going). She's a catahoula/pit mix. She's white with brindle spots, plus one blue eye and one half-brown/half-blue eye. She's adorable! And sweet as can be! I am very excited! That is why I'm ending all my sentences with exclamation points!
I'm going to name her Starla. Lughna I got right after Lughnasadh and Starla I'm getting right after Ostara. Aren't I clever? Uh huh, I know.

I am so, so proud of Texas for stepping up and getting such a record-breaking voter turn-out. Apparently the polls in some areas stayed open hours after closing time because people were still waiting to vote. That is AWESOME. Now how awesome would it be if we got so many people out in November that Texas actually went blue? It's a long shot, but I think stranger things have happened. From what I understand, many traditionally Republican areas are starting to flip... and I have heard from several self-described "staunch Republicans" that they'll be voting Democrat this year because they're so disgusted with the way their own party has botched things up. That's definitely encouraging.
I have to say I'm surprised and disappointed that Hillary took Texas. I really thought Obama would take it and we'd be one step closer to edging her out. Eight years ago, and maybe even four years ago, I was all for a Hillary presidency... but then I got sick. Healthcare issues are a top concern for me for reasons which should be obvious, and not only are her policies on this seriously lacking in my opinion, she's also become a puppet for insurance/pharmaceutical companies, and that is something I can not abide.
If she manages to get the nomination, which I still doubt, I will of course still vote for her. I believe that you nominate a party, not a person. I never understood why people didn't want to vote for Al Gore because he was "boring"... who the hell cares? He was smart, reasonable, and more importantly, he would have brought Dems into positions of power, including Congress and the Supreme Court. Unless the person is really, really vile (*coughWcough*), it really doesn't matter much who they are. What matters is the policies and people they bring with them.
I think Hillary is corrupt and kind of a whiner... she seems to take a lot of things too personally and play the "bias" card a lot more than Obama. I also think Obama has better policies, is more charismatic, and keeps a cooler head. But if it comes down to Hillary vs McCain... well, Hillary versus anyone, it doesn't matter, because it would be a cold, cold day in hell before I will vote Republican.
P.S. I've lost 6 1/2 pounds, which may not sound like much, but on a 5'5" small frame, it's actually visible. Six pounds to go and I'll reach my good goal weight... 11 pounds and I'll reach my freakin' awesome goal weight. | | Thursday, February 14th, 2008 | | 8:50 am |
V for Vagina
Happy Vday everyone! For those of you in the Austin area tired of doing the same old crap on Vday (or those of you that will just be at home moping anyway), come out to Hanovers in Pflugerville for some karaoke fun! My Mom will be co-KJing, and if you haven't seen her rip-roaring drunk (or us rip-roaring drunk together), you're missing out on a real good time. There will be contests, including Best Fake Orgasm, Worst Fake Orgasm, Best Pole Dance, Best Lap Dance, Best Lady In Red, Best Boxer Briefs, etc. so come on out and have some fun!
Starts at 8 and goes until after midnight, so you can come after your fancy-ass dinner and drink and badly sing the night away! See you there! | | Tuesday, February 12th, 2008 | | 9:11 am |

I have the flu. Really, really bad. I have not been this miserable since the World's Worst Case of Mono that sent me to the hospital a few years ago. Please please please... any and all healing/positive thoughts/energy/prayers are welcome. I am really having a bad time of it. Thank you so much. |
