Well, the last time we had our power out for longer than a couple hours was in the Blizzard of 1993.

I was around 8 years old then, and it was the most snow I'd EVER seen.

My cousin had come over that Friday night to spend the night, and she ended up getting stuck here the entire weekend. But it was fun cause the two of us played out in the snow all weekend.

Plus the power was out all weekend, and I remember us cooking hotdogs over the fire (we have a wood stove).

Thriller.

It was actually one of the first music videos I ever remember watching.

Wow. So Michael Jackson is dead.

I'm not really a huge fan of his in his later years, though I like some of his earlier songs, like "Thriller", but all the same it's still saddening to hear.

It's surreal. He's an icon of the music industry, up there with Elvis.

KITTENS! DUH!

See my icon. :)

Why didn't I think of this in my last post?

THE GAMES. Another awesome part of my childhood.

Forget video games. Though I did have Super Mario Bros.

When I was a kid, I'd mainly spend all day and EVERY day outdoors playing with my cousins and the neighborhood kids - from morning till dark - playing during the summer, and after school. Even rain didn't deter us, unless it was thundering or too cold. Otherwise, we'd just get wet.

We played all in the woods, tag, freeze tag, dodgeball, hide 'n' seek, capture the flag, baseball, race on our bikes, etc etc.

Good times. Sometimes I just wish I could run around and play again like a little kid.

I guess the innocence, and not having any real worries. Not having to worry about money, careers, current events, relationships, etc.

At the same time, I enjoy being an adult. Being able to have the freedom to get in my car and just go off somewhere whenever I please, without having to get permission from anyone. Being old enough to buy alcohol, eat what I want, wear what I want, go where I want, etc.

I think if I suddenly somehow reverted back to being a child, but still had my adult memories, I'd feel trapped and imprisoned.

It's Father's Day, so I cooked breakfast for Dad this morning before church. I made him scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon, and toast.

And it is HOT; will be in the 90's all week. Joy. We might go up to the lake on my cousin's boat sometime soon. I'm looking forward to it.

In my small crappy town? Nothing.

If they're from up North, I try to make sure they eat at the Waffle House at least once though.

And there's some places in Atlanta, like the Varsity, which I took Stephy to. And Stone Mountain.

Hm. Well, I don't know if I can say I'm really like any fictional character that I know of. Probably a combination of several.

But like on Supernatural I seemed to relate more to Dean. Of course, we don't have a lot in common obviously. I never died, parents are still living. But I was always able to sympathize and FEEL for Dean more than I ever did for Sam. I GOT him more. Dean is just someone that's easier to relate to.

I'm an only child, but I have close cousins that I grew up with, saw almost every day, and we were practically siblings anyway. And I'm the oldest, and they looked up to me and followed me around somewhat, so I did (and still do) feel protective of them, especially my cousin Chris. And I felt a sense of loss and a bit of jealousy when he went off to college and stopped coming to my house and hanging around me. So in a way I know how it is to have grown up the oldest.

Absolutely not. I wouldn't ever consider it.

The most I've ever won was a free lotto ticket. My dad won a grill from Winn-Dixie (grocery store) one time.

I went to a Renaissance festival with my friend yesterday. Turns out, as we were arriving we got in free, cause some lady had extra tickets and she just gave them to us! $40 worth! A lot of people dressed up in old fashioned costumes, and some people dressed as pirates. I wondered if any of those people also go to DragonCon. It seems like they would. I did archery and sucked at it. AND I got some sun walking around all day, so I don't look pale like a vampire anymore! It was fun.

- My breakfast: a cup of coffee

My dinner tonight: one of those snack bowls from KFC, a mini bag of Cheetos, Reeses cups, and a Mountain Dew. Now isn't that just healthy!

- I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to help out with Vacation Bible School at my church this summer or not

- My neighbor is going to be okay. She had to have surgery but she's going to recover.

- Re-starting an old IM RP with Stephy. It's involving Cordy and Angelus, and we're putting it in a journal. I'll post a link whenever it gets going good.

- EXCITED ABOUT DRAGON*CON!

One of my favorite threads, that I remember recently, is the Supernatural season 4 finale thread over at supernatural_tv.

Good times, good times.


I remember getting a good laugh out of a couple posts over at ONTD too- that one about the ShamWow Guy getting arrested, and that one with the pics of Big Foot.

You can't have Buffy the Vampire Slayer without Joss Whedon! That's an insult!

THIS = FAIL!:

>:(

So I had one of those 'You know you watch too much Supernatural when...' moments the other day.

I was driving down the road, and going other way was an Impala LIKE THE ONE ON SUPERNATURAL!

I almost drove off the road while gawking at it. Then I was so tempted to turn around and follow it, haha. But I didn't.

Yea I'm insane, I know.
