My friend's picking me up in a half hour. I feel so much better today - I can breathe and taste things and my voice doesn't sound like crap anymore.

Today's going to be a lot of fun. Tomorrow's going to suck because I work. I will be home by early afternoon, though, so I'll have the whole rest of my day. I'm not leaving my house once I get home tomorrow. I think I'll just curl up on the couch and watch movies. Dad borrowed Star Trek and watched it twice because he adored it. I think I'll have to get it back from him so I can watch it again. I watched Transformers last night before I went to bed, so maybe I'll watch the second one on Friday.

I've been hearing that the next Watchmen Hot Toys figure will be Rorschach. While that makes me so incredibly happy and fangirly, I'm also uneasy that his release means the end of the line and they won't make Nite Owl. Silk Spectre should be coming to me sometime in December. And The Comedian should be released by March.

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

I haven't been posting as much lately, but I've been both busy and sick. Work for the next two days is going to be killer. It looks like Dad's closing on the house on Monday, which means he will be with me for about a month.

I have Thanksgiving plans with some very close friends, which will keep me busy all day. Dad is going to see the family. I feel kind of bad that I'm not going with him, but my friends have become my family in more ways than I can even name, and when I think of the holidays, I think of spending it with them. I can't imagine being anywhere else. We also all have plans on Christmas, though I'm reserving Christmas Eve for my father since he's moving out of state - this will likely be the last Christmas we spend together because he'll visit me in the summer and not in the winter.

I'm sick right now - not sure with what, but my throat started hurting really bad yesterday morning and my body feels like it's been dragged to hell and back. I don't have much congestion, and I can still function pretty well, but I definitely don't feel good.

Tomorrow night my friend and I are watching Star Trek together and I'm hoping I don't pass out during the movie. It will be the first time I've seen it since its opening day in the theater back in May.

When I'm sitting down anywhere, my body begs for sleep. I just woke up from sleeping for an hour and a half, and I'm going back to bed now.

F*** you, Show!

That is all.

It's been three days since my last entry, which is pretty unusual for me lately. I've just been really busy with work, my dad and my friend. My friend and I were together Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. We watched Transformers 2 - I'll make another post on how I feel about both movies, but I didn't like it as good as the first. Still, thanks to my friend showing me these movies, I now want to collect movie Transformers, more specifically anything and everything Bumbleebee. Damn it. :)

I helped Dad yesterday with moving his stuff and finally got all of my stuff cleaned out over at his house. He's going to be with me for about a month before he goes to FL or GA to be buy a place because I can't get any time off work until after the Holidays. I'm going to request time off from January 3-11, which will give him 9 days.

I just told Dad I'm ready to be on my own, so he's going to look for a place to live in FL or GA, instead of just a place to spend the summers there. Damn. I just don't know how I feel about this right now because on one hand, I really do want to be by myself. On the other, I'm scared my job won't be enough in the long run to be here without my father. Basically, by telling him I'm ready to live alone, I'm doing what I really, truly want. But I'm also taking a slight risk in it because I won't have anyone to turn to as far as for help on the month if I need it. Well, that's not entirely true - someone's already offered to help me out some by staying here a few times a week (it would be benefical for them in terms of work commute, especially in the winter time)... I'm just really scared of ruining the great thing we have now because it means so much to me.

There's just so much going on with me right now - some good, some bad, but all life changing. I'm very, very overwhelmed. I'm just good at hiding it most of the time.

I feel both relieved Dad knows how I feel and guilty - because if he can't stay with me then he's forced to move down there because of financial reasons.... Still, I know he doesn't like it up here because of the cold and I would be his only reason for staying.

The people buying Dad's house want him to be moved out before Thanksgiving.... UGH. That means I have to go into work today and talk to one of my managers about getting a few days off in the beginning to middle of December to give him time to purchase something in FL or GA, whichever one he decides on. Things are moving too fast.

Watched Watchmen (again) on Monday night.....and supposedly a Watchmen Hot Toys announcement is coming, so I'm all hyped for it, even though I think it will just be the full details on The Comedian figure they showed at Comic Con in July and never released anything on. Rorschach and Nite Owl, 'kay Hot Toys? Thnx. Laurie will be lonely without them. :D

I'm supposed to watch Transformers 2 with my friend on Saturday night. I've heard a lot of mixed opinions on it, so I'm curious. I liked the first one so much more than I expected to. I want to buy it on dvd because I know it's one I'll watch again.

Paid for my Tifa costume and sent in my measurements. I'm so excited about it, since it should fit me so well. Once we both get our costumes we're going to try them on at the same time and show some friends. Hopefully, I won't forget my camera this time. :( I'm just not used to having one with me - I'm not much of a picture taker.

Bought my Tifa costume today - I just have to send in my measurements and payment tonight. Then in a few weeks, or right around Christmas, I'll hopefully have enough money to order the shoes in my size.

This weekend passed by so quickly. Watched Transformers for the first time on Saturday night with my friend. I really enjoyed it - like, 'enjoyed it enough to buy it' enjoyed it. I was very surprised by how much I liked it. I probably only saw a handful, if that, of the cartoon episodes as a kid and remembered next to nothing about Transformers with the exception of Optimus Prime and how much fanboys fawned over him (was friends once with someone who collected Transformers and adored Prime - I'm pretty sure he had an OP tattoo). My personal favorite, movie-wise, was Bumblebee.

Tried calling about a new job- but it turned out to be a temporary position that would only last 9-12 months, and the pay was less than what I'm making now. The only advantage was the hours - you work a nine hour shift. If I didn't have something, it would work fine, but taking a pay cut with a job that's just temporary.... Having to look for something once the position ended would be bad news. Damn, damn, damn.

Yesterday was the first decent day I've had all week. It wasn't great, but I could survive it, anyway.

I hope to get my Tifa costume ordered tonight. I didn't want to use my normal funds, so I sold some boxsets to get the money. The cool thing about this costume is that it's going to be made to fit me specifically. I can send them my measurements, which is good because otherwise it wouldn't fit me right. My friend's way ahead of me on his Cloud costume, but there are tons of separate pieces to it, and I only need to make two actual purchases: the full costume, and then the shoes. The costume even comes with the ribbon she wears around her arm. The only things not present is the ring and earings she wears, and I can pick up something close around here somewhere. Like with my Silk Spectre costume, I'm not bothering with a wig, especially since by next year my hair will be very, very long. Yay for dark brown hair! It saves me the money.

Haven't felt good all day. Yesterday work just about killed me and today I just ran on autopilot the entire time I was there. I don't even want to get into it much, but it was horrible and if not for my house I would have just quit. I was so disgusted and so upset I spent about twenty minutes in the bathroom crying before returning to work. I just feel so drained right now. And it's far from over.

Two friends came over tonight and that helped some, but I'm not very good company right now because I'm so stressed out and worried about work. Instead of watching our shows, my girl friend and I ended up watching V for Vendetta - she wanted to, and I didn't really care about missing TVD or SPN...I guess it's just hard for me to care about that right now.

The good - my statue is fixed. My friend glued the piece back on very easily, and you can't tell it was ever broken.
