Extreme Makeover Blog Edition

erratic_prophet | 09 March, 2007 18:30

Thought the place needed some brightening up. I'm so sick of the dreary weather here. It's been nothing but cold, snow, rain, and more cold. That groundhog was on some acid, I tell you. Spring's coming, my ass.

Hopefully, it doesn't burn anyone's eyes out. The new design, not the groundhog, acid, or my ass. Most especially not my ass..


Merry *YAWN* Christmas

erratic_prophet | 25 December, 2006 13:05

Merry Christmas, all!

So tired. Hate retail. Evil people waiting until last minute, I spit on you. Might get department transfer. Lost another coworker. Still being stalked.

More to come. Crashing again.

So I haven't written in quite some time, have I? I've been busy, yes. Always. I'm training yet another new coworker in my department. Why do I get the feeling that I'll outlast him? Yes, you read right. Him. A man actually infiltrated our ranks. He'll be the second male in the whole jewelry/fragrance/cosmetics section. (The other one is an ass who I refuse to speak to anymore because he is the assiest ass in the east.)

Something a Little Different

erratic_prophet | 13 February, 2006 12:36

Thoguht the blog needed a little sprucing up.

This will either last less than a week or close to a year. Depends on how lazy or busy or annoyed with that header I get. I'm not liking that header so much.

But I'm busy...

So, uh, yeah. This post was about nothing.

Bye!


I'm Not Dead Yet!

erratic_prophet | 02 February, 2006 14:08

Really! I swear! Not dead!

I just have nothing to write about what with all of the happy happy going on in my life now. Well, ok, not happy happy, but not pissed or freaked and that makes me happy. I'm really an easy person to please.

So, in lieu of a post, I leave you with this message.


Enjoy!


Pretend This is Yesterday...

Happy Belated New Year!


It can't be any worse than the last one.



...I hope...

Thanks a Lot!

erratic_prophet | 24 November, 2005 18:19

Things I'm thankful for:

  • Percocet.
  • Naps. Lots of naps.
  • Caramel-Pumpkin Cheesecake.
  • A small family dinner this year, not 15+ people.
  • Lots of yarn for all of the granny squares I'm crocheting in between naps.
  • TV. When I'm not napping or crocheting.
  • Kids I can send away so I can nap.
  • Parents to keep the kids away while I nap.
  • Percocet. I'm really grateful for this stuff.

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all!


Lights, Camera, Action

erratic_prophet | 21 November, 2005 22:15

I actually have an honest to goodness excuse for my slacking this time. I was getting everything done on my to-do list before today because I had to go in for some minor surgery and I'd be laid up on the couch, surrounded by dvds and books, for the next few days.

Read on at your own risk. I lack the modesty gene, people.

Confusion

erratic_prophet | 03 November, 2005 10:57

Just when I'm sure that my life has become the bird shit on the windshield of life, something comes along to throw me for a loop.

I got to see my friend today for my hair cut. I was even her first client of the day. And then I didn't even get charged for the cut on orders from her boss. Her boss who might soon become my boss. I'm probably jinxing myself here, but I might start working there part time during the days. She asked for my information and what hours I could work-- she didn't mind that I needed a very flexible schedule because of the kids-- and told me she'd be calling me soon. I've got my fingers crossed.

Happy Columbus Day!

erratic_prophet | 12 October, 2005 10:40

When I was little, I'd tell everyone that my birthday was a little known national holiday. They'd scoff. Many wondered just how spoiled I was to make such a claim. But it's the truth: My birthday is a little known national holiday. It's Columbus Day.

And, no, it's not celebrated on a Monday each year.

Optimistic Resignation

erratic_prophet | 09 October, 2005 20:13

I'm going to be 30 soon.

This fact used to disturb me a lot more than I'd care to admit. I don't know why, really, since I don't think it's old or anything. But it's a big number. A milestone. The beginning of a new era. It's also intimidating as hell.

No, Seriously, I'm Not Dead

erratic_prophet | 03 October, 2005 19:53

But I have a really good excuse!

Sort of..

I was working. A lot. And when I wasn't working, I was running errands. Lots of errands. And then there were appointments. Luckily, there aren't so many errands and appointments anymore. And I had the day off work today.

I actually got to take a nap! But that was because I felt all icky from the sinus infection I'm trying to lose.

Since I can't end things on that depressing note, here are two things I've been playing lately: Star Chemistry and Email Roulette.


Katrina

erratic_prophet | 03 September, 2005 10:15

I have nothing to add. Nothing I could say that hasn't been said before. I just thought I'd let people know-- if they haven't seen this already-- that Google Maps put up a Katrina tab.

It's terrible to see the destruction. You'll see many images like this with highways going under water.


Ta da!

erratic_prophet | 26 August, 2005 11:02

I finally felt inspired enough to make some changes here. Now J doesn't have to keep nagging at me-- on a daily basis, mind you-- to do something already. Ahh.. The lengths I will go to to shut someone up (Hehehe).

WOOHOO!

erratic_prophet | 06 August, 2005 17:37

Passed my test! Got my license!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to pass out. I've just come home from work and have been running on two hours-- if that-- sleep.

Once again, woohoo!


You Ask, I Tell

erratic_prophet | 15 July, 2005 13:46

Here's your chance, people. Not only can you let me know who you are, but this is also your chance to ask me about anything. Yes, you can ask me anything your little heart desires. And I'll try my best to answer as honestly as possible. Can't promise anything.

C'mon! You know you're dying to ask something. Give a girl something to post about. Or at least let me know who you are. I'm dying to know.


So Sorry

erratic_prophet | 08 July, 2005 14:26

Dear London,

Sorry for my self-absorbed panic attack yesterday. Some things are more important than others. My thoughts are with all of you over there. Take care.

Chastened,

R


Can't Post

erratic_prophet | 07 July, 2005 20:26

Too busy panicking.

And getting ready for test on Saturday.

I'm doing it today because I'll be too busy to tomorrow. So maybe I'll actually post tomorrow. Maybe.

Now I need to go throw up.


Just Call Me K!

erratic_prophet | 24 June, 2005 13:47

I feel slightly dizzy.

It's probably from my fit of hyperventilation.

Make that fits.. Why can't I find a paper bag anywhere?

High School Reunion

erratic_prophet | 18 June, 2005 21:49

I have a confession to make. Although I enjoyed high school and all of its cheesy drama, I have no urge to see people I knew back then. Let me amend that: I have no urge to see most of the people I knew back then. When I realized that there would be no 10 year reunion for our class, I was giddy with joy. If I spot someone I recognize, I duck and run. No, I'm not very social.

I should've known that something would happen. Murphy's Law has been the only active law in my life lately. It all started just minutes before work...

The Lady in the Lobster Hat

erratic_prophet | 17 June, 2005 11:03

I never knew my dreams were such odd things until I started to tell people about them.

I was flipping through a magazine and I saw a red hat. Perched on the brim was a lobster. I turned to my mom, pointed at the picture, and said, "This reminds me of that dream I had a long time ago. In it, I was a restaurant detective-- yeah, I know, work with me here-- and I remember walking through the foyer and seeing this babushka-type woman holding an expensive silver tray with a gutted fish on it and a chic woman wearing a lobster as a hat. After that, it went downhill. I found body parts in the wall behind the toilets.." And that's when I noticed the look on her face. So I said, "Too weird?" and she nodded and said, "Just a bit."

It's a good thing that I skimmed over the parts between the lobster hat and the body parts.

Power Out

erratic_prophet | 30 May, 2005 21:11

I'm dead tired. I feel like I'm always on the run now. Even my dreams are hectic. When I can remember them, that is..

The Maze

erratic_prophet | 27 May, 2005 14:35

I've had this recurring dream for most of my life. Well, I guess it could be considered recurring because it's The Maze. It's always the same maze, but it looks different each time I've dreamed about it.

Disclaimer

erratic_prophet | 12 May, 2005 15:27

I feel like I need to put this here. If you don't know me personally, don't assume you know me by what you read. Being a "writer", I take certain liberties. I distort, manipulate, tweak. Basically, I lie a bit to make things more amusing. I do not write conversations word for word unless I specifically say so. I do not whip out a recorder if I think something might be funny so I can blog about it later. I remember the gist and fill in details.

Under Construction

erratic_prophet | 12 May, 2005 07:38

Welcome to the new home for Strange Things!


Don't mind the rubble and dust. Things will settle down eventually. Unfortunately, I'm going to be very busy the next week or so, so I don't know just how long it will take to get settled in.

I plan on moving a few of my favorite posts over here from my old blog, but will keep the old blog around just for the hell of it. As for now? I'm going to sleep. I haven't gotten a wink all night.


Congratulations!
