My uncle wrote this letter to the editor. Not sure if the link will work. It's on the Dallas Morning News site.

You must go see Bowling for Columbine. Must. That is all.

I just spent the first hour of my day fully convinced it was Friday and that every comic I visit was late updating. *slaps forehead*
I got a new roomate last night. Welcome little K.C. to my world! Again, I'm feeling lazy and haven't taken any pictures of her. She's pretty though. Rather small and Gerinda said that she hasn't grown since they've had her, so we think maybe she's as big as she's going to get. Slightly ironic considering how big Judy is. Speaking of cats that don't get along, they're still growling at each other. Judy isn't so keen on having a new cat around. The good thing is, I don't think it will last long. I cooked myself something that smelled really good last night and when I went to get it out of the microwave, they both ran into the kitchen and stood next to each other at my feet to get some of it. Then I looked at them and they looked at each other and realized they'd forgotten they didn't like each other and started growling again. This means they have common ground: a love for food. I'm going to give them a week or so to become fast friends. If they're not happy by then, I'll begin my regimine of Kitty Kounseling.

Thanksgiving is over and now I'm largely large. Okay not that large, but my tummy is still rather full. I had two excellent Thanksgiving dinners within a four hour span. Bryan's mom can cook like nobodies business and Gerinda graduated with a degree in food stuff. (I think it's called culinary or something.) Anywho, so much good food. I even ate the stuffing with onions in it and it wasn't that bad! Had some great fun with my family and with Bryan playing Cranium. I got way too into it, but it was a lot of fun. Now I'm off to IHOP to eat with Wendy and Ben and Tom. So totally looking forward to it. I love IHOP. Mmmm Country Griddle combo. *drools*
Oh yeah. Cut my hair again. It's a little shorter. Still rather blue. Mebbe I'll put a pic or two up later. ki'mout.

Mom and I were out and about this morning and we stopped by Sam's. It's one of those places that sells everything in bulk, family size packages. So we were browsing through the clothes, which don't come in bulk, and I got this cool little jacket cover thing. I should take a picture of it and show it off, but I'm really lazy. They played Noel over and over for the first 20 minutes we were there. I saw a gathering of employees nereby and figured there would probably be a manager with them, so I asked. I informed the manager that the song was playing over and over again and that if it continued I might have a seizure. He laughed at me and told me to get into the spirit. Uhh. Hi. Unhappy customer + possible law suite = TURN OFF THE MUSIC OR AT LEAST CHANGE IT TO CHESTNUTS ROASTING ON AN OPEN FIRE!!! What has this country come to? I swear.
[edit - oh nevermind. I'll link to Adam's art when he gets a link to me so you can all view his wonderlicious art.]

You know it's time to go home when you spend an evening playing dominoes and listening to 60's music with a bunch of older ladies and you like it.
says MarissaD at 11/24/2002 09:31:00 PM
Misti, that is probably one of the nicest things you've ever said to me. Well, not really because you've said a lot of nice things, but that was just....... thanks.
I've gotten a lot of comments about the hair. A lot of stares already. But more than anything, people in my life have realized or it has been confirmed that this is just me. Not necessarily blue hair, but different. Mom says I'm a round peg trying to fit into a square hole and that soon I will find where I fit. I believe that. I thank God my parents love me so much. We had a very good talk today. Some of it broke my heart, some of it broke their hearts, but in the end, we all cried and hugged and prayed and it's all going to be okay. I'm pretty sure....

I'm so glad I don't have cable. I've wasted so much time with the T.V. today it's unreal. Ozzy is just really funny though. Has anyone else seen this show?
This is a picture that my old boss pulled off of his security tape. You can see me and the blue hair, but it's not that great. hehe

I kinda miss Dallas already.
Needs to update: Tom, Tim (always broken, pssh), Lenore, Andra, Misti, Adam and Mykie.

I'm at Misti's for the evening. Yesterday was quite productive. I got a lot of things done that I won't talk about just yet, as I don't want to jinx myself. I also got my hair done. It's blue. It's neato. Misti doesn't like it, but then again, Misti doesn't like driving on highways with more than three lanes. We're polar opposites, which is why we are best friends, of course. Today I haven't done a damn thing. I got to wash my hair finally. They said I couldn't wash it for 24 hours and they had to put this wax stuff in it so it wouldn't bleed. Thus, it was kind of gross. Today I washed and dryed and fixed and curled. It looks much better. I like the style too. It's a lot shorter in the back. Too bad I don't have a cam here. I'll put a pic up when I get home next week.
Other news: I'm getting another cat next week. My step-cousin-in-law has two cats and she and her husband picked up a stray a few months ago. They haven't been able to find the owners and they just found out that she's pregnant. (Cousin, not the cat.) I've already told them and I'm pretty sure they don't read this, but a big CONGRATULATIONS to them anyway. This will be baby number one for them. Anywhooot, they decided they really don't need another kitty cat and asked if I would be willing to take her. I think Judy would like a friend. I dunno though, she's hard to read. Either way, she'll get used to it and I'll have another cat. Three more and I can consider myself a spinster! oh wait. can't be a spinster, i got a boyfriend this week too.
That's all the news! Okay bye!

What a day of driving! I'm not really sure what that means, exactly, but I'm home. I really need to get my CD changer working. No choice in music is really starting to get annoying in my car. It gives me too much time to think and, despite the jokes that are going to hurl my way after the following comment, it makes my head hurt. Ideas flowing, what if's and how to's and what about's all over the place. So much going on in my head. Sometimes it's just a bit painful. Now I've had a headache for two hours. I've got big plans this week, including choppage of the hair, colorage of the hair, meetage of the business people, lovage of the family and chillage of the old co-workers/friends. I just made up some new words. I better go email dictionary.com. Or sleep. *ponder*

Okay, I'm not going home TODAY, but I'm going home TOMORROW. Not enough sleep. 6 hour drive. Bad idea. Mom agrees. Tomorrow it is!
says MarissaD at 11/18/2002 04:11:00 PM
Tomorrow I'm going home. I can't wait. I'm going to get my hair cut and colored a color that I've never been able to have, thanks corporate bullshit. Right now, I'm tired. I should probably be asleep and I was at one time, but now I'm not. I'll head back that way soon. I miss... my mommy. I will see her tomorrow.
WELL!?? What are you waiting for? Thank you all for updating. I love you like flies love poo.

Oh also made this. He's kind of... scaring me lately.
says MarissaD at 11/15/2002 02:23:00 AM
So my very very best internet friend, Breaker, aka Joe, whom I met at Quakecon this year made me something special. I thought, "aww, how sweet. He's the nicest man in creation." Then I saw it.
I was cleaning my bathroom because that's something that needs to be done now and then. Can you imagine how freaked out I was when I found the following baby lizard skeleton ON THE CABINET behind my hairspray?! Apparently I don't clean the bathroom often enough.

Oooooooooh Blogger how I missed you today! You're back, so I forgive you.
I have new video card and all thanks and praises go to Richard. In more ways than one he was there for me that dreadful day.
I've been hanging out with Mykie and Bryan the last few days. They have this storage room where they practice (band stuff) and they have a headset from a rifle range. As odd as it sounds, the most peaceful place I've ever been in is with those headphones on laying next to the bass amp listening to them jam. How nice it is. I spent most of the last 72 hours with the boys and it has been superbly superb. Away from the computer, in a good way I suppose. Out of the house at least. Life in general is as confusing as it has ever been. Ups and downs. People are worried about me and rightfully so. I'm okay.

Video Card = BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! == No computer == teh suck.
In my boredem, I was cleaning out my email and found one from Mykie. He sent me a pic and asked me to make some minor changes to his blog. That was April 21st. Oops. Anywho, I made some changes. Let me know if you want it any differently. Sorry for the gargantuan delay. ^.^

would you be the wind to blow me home
would you be a dream
on the wings of a poem
and if we were walking through a crowd
well you know i'd be proud
if you'd call my name out loud
do you suppose that i would come running
do you suppose i'd come at all
i suppose i would
and if we were walking
down a dead end street
would you be the one to let our eyes meet
or would you just keep on walking
down to the turn around
'cause you know I'd be proud
if you'd call my name out loud
do you suppose that i would come running
do you suppose i'd come at all
i suppose i would
and if i was gone from the land we know
would you be the dawn
and let your beauty still show
and if you were walking
and heard the cold night coming
would you call my name
'cause you know i'd come running
if you'd call my name out loud
do you suppose that i would come running
do you suppose i'd come at all
you know i would
i'd come running
if you'd call my name out loud
dispatch - out loud

So I had a nice trip to Austin this weekend. Met a few people that I play games with. Had some fun.
I hate to put this here. It will make some people ask me questions, it will make others go 'Hmm. Yes' and it will make others go 'who cares?'
but I need to find the love of my life now. I need him to find me now. I need him now.
