Just like all the other Pagans

Got to visit with the lovely Emily once again before she goes back to be governed by that Terminator guy. It's cool though, yet another of my California pals will be visiting tomorrow...and we may even see Sweet Marie again (are you still around, dear?). At any rate, this NYE part should prove to be a blast.

later today H and I will be going shopping to get the stuff, that will be good. In addition to falafel, hommus and baklava, I'm makeing a strawberry lemon pastry, spinach dip and perhaps a small pasta salad. Maybe not though, I may also try chocolate waffles...made from brownie mix.


You are Form 4, Gargoyle: The Fallen.

"And The Gargoyle mended his wings from the
blood of the fallen so he could rise up from
imprisonment. With great speed and
resourcefulness, Gargoyle made the world his
for the taking."

I'm bummed because all of my old userpics are in H's computer. And when I try to bring them over to this computer, it says the files are too big all of a sudden. Stupid big files. I think H is going to sort it out soon though.

Speaking of H, here s the new years Email I got from his mom:

"I wish you joy and true peace.  I wish you the abiding love of God manifest in my son's care for you.  I wish you the contentment of knowing your actual value and place in this universe.
I hope for a year in which you find at least 3 more ways to smile, and a deeper layer of laughter and mirth.  I hope for a feeling of accomplishment from a job you know that you've done well, and special awe that comes when you've discovered a new ability or strength.

I wish you health, I wish you the sweetness of love freely given and received.  I wish you the secret smile of finding yet another reason to be glad you're a woman.

Most of all, I wish for you the eternal security of the salvation of Chirst, who waits patiently for anyone who wants to call Him, friend.

My love to you.  
Mom"

Not only do I get to feel like I have a family this time of year; but I get to have a religious family who is irritating and loveable all at once.

Yay me! Really, I mean that.
I'm sorry if it sounded sarcastic.

so much to do...so little motivation...

I am soooo bummed, as there is a big, long block of season 2 dead zone eps on tonight starting at midnight when I have to go to bed early because I have to go to goddamn goddamn work tomorrow. As most of you know I'm sure, I dig my job. But them messing with my schedule over the holidays so every stupid college kid can go do whatever the fuck..is really quite irritating.
I did work Thanksgiving, Halloween, and Christmas eve and christmas; not even counting that I work basically every pagan holiday that falls within my regular schedule. Plus no one else can really do my job, which means i can't take weekends off ever. Okay, < / rant >

So we finally went grocery shopping, and got most of the stuff I need for the party. Mike is bringing pita, and no one else has offered to bring anything. I imagine though that some wine and chanpagne will find us. Actually, K and N were down for champagne, but it seems that thier entire houshold is sick. Drag.

so tonight I have to maek dip and baklava, and then get up early and go to work. then once I get honme from work, I can make falafel and the pastry and waffle mix and hommus and put the veggie tray together. Why do i put so much damn pressure on myself? I don't really know.

Update:

I've decided not to put that much stress on myself after all. I mean, one stupid dessert does not a party make. Therefore, I'm making a bread pudding tomorrow, instead of a bakalava tonight. That way, my whole kitchen won't get trashed and there will still be plenty of food for eveyone. I just think as a hostess, you have to keep lots of food around for when people start drinking themselves stupid.

This may not seem like a big deal to many of you, but I have a habit of taking on too much responsibility (you know, when I'm not actively shirking work of any kind) and stress myself out for no good reason. So on the advice of H, I'm chilling the hell out.

You Are Ichabod Crane From "Sleepy Hollow." You're a deep thinker - most times logically. You're a bit of a neat freak and a wuss (hey, you do faint a lot!) but you do have the ability to overcome your fears and come out stronger in the end. And you never lose your head over things. (Gufaw gufaw!)

Well, I do have kind of a thing for Christina Ricci...

Oh yeah, and big props to Ryan for coming back to town!
