So I am going to cover quite a bit here today, so grab your coffee and get comfy!
First off...A general rant that you do not have to agree with in any way:
The system is corrupt but in reality there is no other way it can be. I am talking about how the tickets/fines you pay to the courts go to the state. It seems to me that this system pushes the state to "encourage" giving out more tickets. In my opinion thats why they have the cop hideaways on the interstate and unmarked police cars patrolling around. If the sight of a police car slows you down, which is the most plausible senerio, then the job of the police is done. He slowed you down. He served the public by making you and the others around you safer. JOB WELL DONE! .....but nnoooooo...then they would be able to give you a ticket and they won't have money to pay for the roof repairs the elementary school needs. So they plop an unmarked car there so you speed by. You getting my point here? This is not the way it should be. But sadly it is. I saw a button at a store that sorta relates to this and I just ADORED it! It read:
"The world will be perfect when school have all the money they need, and the army has to have bake sales to pay for bombs"
And I could be all starry eyed and start a sentence like "In a perfect would it would be like yadadadada.." but we won't even go there.
OK thats done. NEXT!
You may be wondering if the honey thing worked out. No. It didn't. The first day went well, but by the evening of the second day I was soooo hungry...I started cheating a little. Food= comfort. Sorry. It just does lol.
NEXT!
So Mr.T-cat is out the door....well soon that is :x He is been a pain in the rear the past week. He's been "feeling down" this past week which translates to "being a grumpy slob who is impossible to have a decent conversation with without getting even more grumpy". Honest to goodness every.single.conversation ends with that awkward I-am-mad-but-we-aren't-arguing- silence. I still feel bad tho, but as his rude ass would say...I need to grow so hairy balls....and get it over with.
NEXT!
I am looking for a smart, sophisticated acting but is really spontaneous at heart, cuddly yet dominate, and works well under the sheets if you catch my drift kinda guy who is 22+ (I don't do younger men ...yeeck)....seen any around?? Cuz I don't think they exist lol
NEXT...actually...I think thats about it >.< That wasn't as long as I thought it was going to be.
TTFN!

Honey how I love you so...
Let me start from the beginning...
The past week or so (starting around after halloween) I have been fighting with a bit of depression. I have been having trouble doing things I usually like doing like blogging, working on my car, and my poor camera just sits on my desk taunting me. This of course is not as bad as not being able to do things I don't like to do...like school. Its been a cycle of .."oh I can't do this" so I don't, then get a bad grade, and that fuels more of the "oh I can't do this" feelings.
So yea...that and just not feeling well. I am sure its caused by a combination of things like school stress, money issues, hormones and what not. But I am going head on to try to combat some of these issues.
First is staying in good company. As tempting as it seems right now just to stay in from the cold and read in my bed, I am trying to stay active as possible and keep talking to people (esp how I feel and stuffs). T-cat has actually been pretty helpful. He is the kind of go-getter guy I need. My car has been stressing me out for a while, but he has helped with some of that. He got me to sit down and order a new radiator and today is going to help clean my car. So that helps a little.
Another is catching up on schoolwork. This is the hardest part and I am having mega-difficulties on this. I did spend about an hour at school last week to catch up in my computer class. My english class is lacking still....so thats on my to-do list.
The last ditch effort is to start over. Atleast diet wise that is. I am officially starting my honey diet today. I am a true believer about your body and mind being connected and whatnot. Poor diet is proven to be correlated with depression and mood related issues. The past week my diet has been so wonky I can't even tell you what I have eaten...its been more of "I am hungry, that looks decent enough to eat, so I will consume lots of it"..which is horrible. I even swooped down to eating a little debbie cake last week *hides from boos* Yea I know...that bad.
So the honey diet is a short detox program. Its last three days and is not meant for weight loss, but more to cleanse your system. You are supposed to drink tea sweetened only by raw honey and to snack only on raw honey. *Raw honey has live enzymes, vitamins, and most importantly antioxidants and bacteria-killing-healing agents in it. All in all its really good for you. The tea part I think is more because raw honey is extremely sweet and I can't see anyone eating more than a few spoonfuls by it self and not getting a little queasy. Altho as you probably know green and white tea has lots of antioxidants too, so it can't hurt. Basically during the three days I will be giving my body a little break from trying to have to digest bad food and junk and to revamp itself with good vitamins and minerals while destroying the left over junk in my body.
Hopefully this will help make me feel a little better through my body. Something close to taking a long shower have a hard day at work..except on my inside lol. I got all my honey info at http://www.benefits-of-honey.com/honey-nutrition.html and man I never knew honey was so cool...even if it is bee spit :x
*Raw honey is not the amber looking stuff in the plastic bears. It has a wax color to it because its unfiltered, unprocessed and importantly unheated. That makes sure that no enzymes are killed or filtered out. You are eating what a bear would eat if he broke open a hive. For these three days I got a 14oz jar from our local natural foods co-op for about 8 dollars.
So thats my plan to stop being so down. Its almost 12 now and I am hungry and tired (I am also not allowing myself to sleep past 9:30 either). But hopefully by the end of the week I will be feeling better. I am going to go take a shower and get ready for school. Lunch will be chai red tea with honey. :)
Wish me luck on this little self expedition!

Techno Ninja Here:
Hey guys. Halloween came and went. It had its ups and downs.
Friday: I got pulled over coming back from picking T-cat up from his poker night. I was pulling onto the main road (my tires skidded a little on the wet cement) and a cop pulled up behind me. He stay right on my bumper and then pulled right up next to me for a good six blocks. Finally he put his lights on and got me to the side. So he tells me what he stopped me for, but I will tell you in a bit just so you know how much overkill and ridiculous it became:::
So he tells us why he pulled us over.He asks for mine and T-cats identification and goes back to his patrol car. (T-cat had a few drinks and was sitting in the passenger seat just FYI). Then ANOTHER patrol car pulls up. After about 5 minutes the cop comes back and ask us a few questions. Then YET ANOTHER patrol car pulls up. The cop goes to talks to them as all 5 cops get out. The cop comes back to our car and asks us to step out. We do and they tell us to dump our pockets and we get frisked. Then we get pulled over away from my car and the cop asks to search my car **I said no. So he pulls out a police dog and sniffs my tires and such. He of course didn't find anything (duh) and gives me a ticket and lets us go on our way.
So lets look back and see what we have here: THREE patrol cars, FIVE cops, TWO friskings, and ONE drug dog. Why you ask? Did I rob a bank? Did I just get done with a drug deal? Was I speeding like a maniac? No. None of the above. Then what caused all this.....My tint.
Yes. My tint was illegally dark. Anywho I thought it was a bit of fucking overkill. I mean my tint was too dark so he felt the need to search for drugs? Ooookay. The funny part was when I was getting patted down by the female cop I heard on her radio that there was a breaking and entering going on. I thought to myself "Hmmm...maybe you should be there to help them stop that and leave the 18yo with the dark tint alone" buuuuut what do I know. Maybe illegal tint is higher on VA's most wanted list. Meh.
So yea. That was my Friday night (seriously it took like an hour and a half). Then Saturday rolled around. HALLOWEEN! I slept in til like 11 lol and then got up and took a shower so I could wear my ears and tail :)
Me and T-cat were planning on going to this heavy metal band's party, but the guy we were going with couldn't go so for a few hours we had no clue what we were going to do. But then I called my Aunt and we went up to her house to hang out and play pool. It was a lot of fun. We crashed there that night. Here are some pics:
I made the porch area all creepy with the rat and my skulls, then had it looking like my mom drove over somebody.
T-cat was a troll. He waited too long to get liquid latex so he was stuck with just painting it.
Here is their dog Coco being...well being Coco. She is a goof sometimes.
**KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! If you get pulled over and the cop asks to search your car, say no. Unless he has probable cause (i.e he sees a crack pipe in your back seat) or he has your consent he can't search. If you say yes, he can search and use anything he finds against you in court (an old beer can in the back seat for example). **Also remember that even if you do give the cop permission to search, you don't have to open any locked compartments, even if they ask you to. By VA law they have to have a warrant to get into any locked compartments like your glovebox, trunk, under your hood, if you have a locked tool box, anything that requires a key to open. The reason he was allowed to sniff was technically I was parked on a public street and he wasn't doing anything directly to my property.
That's all folks! Hope you had a HOWLING GOOD WEEKEND!

cotton candy, twizzlers, double mocha coffee, more twizzlers, and some laffytaffy...
Yea...that's what I have had today. I am hyped on sugar. I need to take a shower...but I just can't seem to get upstairs to do it lol. So not much really going on.
Um...Halloween is tomorrow! Super psyched. Even tho I don't have any plans yet :[ But I will make the best of it for sure.
I get to wear my ears and tail tomorrow ^.^ One day out of the year I am not a complete totally freak. ....Altho some may argue that I am a bit too "old" to dress up on halloween. You know what I say to them...Whatev...I mean really? Pull your undies outta your bum cheeks!
Oh and I am excited about candy...I am going to see if I can't pick up a few peices. I can totally pull off 15. Which is the age limit on trick or treating. Which I think is just plain stupid.
I really don't know what else I can write about. Update: So I can't bring myself to break up with T-cat. I have concluded to just roll with the boat.
I swear there was something else I was going to blog about...but I really can't think of any one thought right now lol so Ciao!

~Edens Fantasy~
So I love purple....and fur....and cuffs....wow you would think this cuff set would be a perfect fit.
Just so happens that CrazyMomseye. is having a 25$ giveaway to Edens Fantasy !! Check it out....but don't enter toooo many times...I still want a chance ^.-
There are also other blogs doing this too. Seems there are a lot of blogs actually. I am just a blog noob and had no clue lol.

.Nuclear Waffles.
Alrighty now. Let me tie up some loose ends. First off, I had a request for more info on T-cat. Second I realized that I asterisked something in my last post but never got back around to explain it.
SOOO....
Last post I asterisked redflags of myspace. See on myspace you can view anyones profile (as long as they don't have it set to private) so if you think you might get along with a person you can message them and/or friend request them. Seriously I get like 5-6 friend request a week. Mostly guys. So how do I sort the creepy creepers from the average joe? The redflags of myspace. Basically its a checklist I go through when checking someones profile before I message them back or accept their request.
1)first scan their page really quick. Do they have legit hobbies, interests, etc etc? Do they actually talk about themselves in the about me section...and not just about their looks or how the ladies like em?
2)Then check out their friends list. Seriously if they have more than 1k friends...denied. If most of their friends are young sexy ladies....denied.
3)Check out their pictures. I hate to sound judgey but really, if they look like a creeper with the typical I-want-to-take-you-to-my-basement smile...they are prob a creeper...or if they just have a bunch of sexy poses or half nakie pictures.
So if you are a guy and want to be my myspace friend, you have to pass all these things. Then again some are most obvious. I once got a request and a message from a guy, so I check out his profile. No kidding this is what his about me said:
I am a college student who is doing an experiment. I want you to send me a topless picture of yourself with some information. I go to ******* college and I am testing a theory about the self confidence of different women and how they relate to ethic groups and age. So please send a picture of torso up, topless, and include age, ethic group and some background info. I would appreciate this a lot! I need lots of them for a good experiment! Please help me with this project and you can be part of a scientific breakthrough!
....
.....
...REALLY??? I mean geeze the legitimacy is just dripping from this. I just wonder if he actually got any. I guess in guy terms, if he just got one it would have been worth it. The real scary part? He already had 3 chick friends...hmm...I hope to gholy cows they were just adding him to boost their friend numbers.
Anyway so T-cat passed all the redflag testing. He texted me one day and we decided to go see a movie (ALWAYS meet ANY stranger from ANY website or newpaper or whatnot in a PUBLIC PLACE....thats todays Maggies-Helpful-Hint ^.-) We went to go see 9 which was fantastical btw. He was a complete gentleman. He even held my hand halfway through..very cute.
Well he is great guy. He likes to do what I like to do. He even skinned a squirrel with me. I got him into letterboxing and he loves to hike. He makes me laugh and he is typically fun to be around.
....BUUUUTTTT there is always torns on every rose. For one I am very paranoid that he is cheating on me. Just a few incidents made me feel very uneasy. I can chalk some of it up to just me being cheated on so many times I may be looking for reasons...but not all of it. But I can't be sure.
Also its hard for me to have a serious talk at all with him. He just doesn't take anything seriously. Its very frustrating!
Another think is he just the average joe. Thats not a bad thing at all. But he is just not the guy for me. He can't understand the whole furry thing. He is sooo not into sadomasochism. Which makes bedroom life sorta lame (it sucks!!!).
Worst of all I just not in love. You know that little spark you feel when you really really care about them? I don't have it, atleast anymore. I want to break up with him. But thats the kicker....
I.SUCK.AT.BREAK.UPS! Plainly put. I do. I find it so hard to break up with him. I think my wolf just has loyalty issues. Like just because I am not happy doesn't mean I should break up with him. I am torn yet again from wolf to human. *facedesk* uggghh. I just need to blurt it out before I can stop myself. Any tips?
Oh and here is a picture for you *heart*
Just because its been so rainy the past week (altho I see sun today!!!)
SOOO....

Okay....so I finally killed the beast that was guarding Blogger.......
Yeaaa. That is my excu...*cough* I mean reason. There was this horrendous beast with claws and fangs that tried to attack me every single time I tried to log on to Blogger. Its true. I mean the blood dripping from its razor sharp teeth deter me a little.
BUT! I finally slayed it. So no fear, Techno Ninja saved the day!
(So so so so sorry I haven't posted in awhile!)
Alright so there is plenty to talk about. One being I am sorta kinda ish dating this guy. I totally wasn't going to date him. But I am (I think) lol. Let me explain a little more so that confuzzled look you have may leave your face :)
So I met this guy on myspace. When I say met I mean I added him as a friend after I checked over his profile for the usual creeper redflags*. His name is ....we will call him T-cat. Everyone calls him that (no they don't).
SO I added him. Then like maybe two weeks later he texted me. (mind you we had has no other moment of talking to each other and now three weeks later I am so confuzzled ....
.....
Wait why the crap am I telling you about my boring sorta kinda maybe dating life????? I know why you are here and what I need to give you--BUTTERFLIES!! I promised you updates like a freaking month ago and I have just kept putting them off. NO MORE tho. Here they are with wonderful commentary from biologist wannabe me (I will get back to him another day if I am still sorta ish with him lol):
~~~~~~~~~~~
So as you know we started out with this:
What a cutie :3 This little bugger and its sibling nommed nommed and nommed some more on milkweed leaves for about a week and a half.
And this is what I found:
The one getting darker is the one that was already in its crystalist when I got the caterpillars. Its gets darker when they change from a piller to a butter.
And it slowly got darker as the days went by and when I say darker, I mean more clear:
By this point I sit my bum down with the camera and wait. Annnyyy hour its going come out. Well of course I get all distracted and I miss the darn thing popping out, but I got the second after:
At this point it has to let its wings fill with blood and drop to its full length
Here is the moment it dropped its back wings. I was waiting for it to start pumping them so I could see the gender:
See if there is two little dots on the inside of the wings then its a male:
We have a boy!!
Then I released it when it started fluttering around
~~~
The other two my mom let go before I got pictures or saw the genders. Since they were changed so late, hopefully they will be part of the group of monarchs that migrate to mexico. ^.^
BUT! I finally slayed it. So no fear, Techno Ninja saved the day!

So I met this guy on myspace. When I say met I mean I added him as a friend after I checked over his profile for the usual creeper redflags*. His name is ....we will call him T-cat. Everyone calls him that (no they don't).
SO I added him. Then like maybe two weeks later he texted me. (mind you we had has no other moment of talking to each other and now three weeks later I am so confuzzled ....
.....
Wait why the crap am I telling you about my boring sorta kinda maybe dating life????? I know why you are here and what I need to give you--BUTTERFLIES!! I promised you updates like a freaking month ago and I have just kept putting them off. NO MORE tho. Here they are with wonderful commentary from biologist wannabe me (I will get back to him another day if I am still sorta ish with him lol):
~~~~~~~~~~~
So as you know we started out with this:
What a cutie :3 This little bugger and its sibling nommed nommed and nommed some more on milkweed leaves for about a week and a half.
And this is what I found:
The one getting darker is the one that was already in its crystalist when I got the caterpillars. Its gets darker when they change from a piller to a butter.
And it slowly got darker as the days went by and when I say darker, I mean more clear:
By this point I sit my bum down with the camera and wait. Annnyyy hour its going come out. Well of course I get all distracted and I miss the darn thing popping out, but I got the second after:
At this point it has to let its wings fill with blood and drop to its full length
Here is the moment it dropped its back wings. I was waiting for it to start pumping them so I could see the gender:
See if there is two little dots on the inside of the wings then its a male:
We have a boy!!
Then I released it when it started fluttering around
~~~
The other two my mom let go before I got pictures or saw the genders. Since they were changed so late, hopefully they will be part of the group of monarchs that migrate to mexico. ^.^

..pst....yes you....come here...
Guess what?!
....
.....Actually this isn't a surprise to my 2 followers lol....so I will skip the dramatics and just say to those who are reading this and are too mean to follow me: I gots a tattoo.
Now my 2 followers (who just happen to be my sister and my bestfriend) probally already know that I have been wanting to get one..for like forever. So for a little b-day present to myself, I got one ^.^ I got a wolf paw print on my hip.
I went all by myself too. It was such a growing up thing lol. I was sooooooooooo nervous. I pulled up the place I was getting it and just sorta sat there for a moment. I finally got the nerve to go in where I was greeted with a smile and before I knew it I was signing the papers with a shaky hand.
The guy who did it got all the stuff together while I wandered around looking at all the pics on the walls. Then he called me over and put the stencil thingy on me and pressed it on. So here I have my pants unbuttoned and pulled down below my hip which basically is wet paint on me....he tells my to go wonder again...Really?? Lol, so I nonchalantly walk around near the wall with my pants hanging off me >.<
Well he gets it all set up and sterilized, got me to lay down and get comfy, and started up the gun. So I am about to freak at this point. But I just kept telling myself that its worth it and I can do it. He then positioned the gun riiiight over my hip bone. "Wait wait..Do you have to start there? I mean that is the most painful right?"...He just looked at me as the tattoo noob I am (*cough*...was) and blatanly replied "Um....yea...its the closest to me". Gee because that seems like a darn golly ol good reason. *glare*
So he starts.
I am not going to lie. It hurt. A lot. But it really isn't anything you can't grit your teeth thru. Which I did. A lot. I didn't look at it, I gritted my teeth, clenched my hands, and remembered to breath(*). It took about 40 minutes to complete and then it was DONE!
Ta-da!
But I want to point out a few things I have learned on this journey.
1) At first I had no clue why people didn't use the numbing cream the have out there (they do have it!)..but now I understand that it really wouldn't be worth it if you didn't have the pain to go through. I guess the whole "No pain, No gain" is true for this one.
~
2) I have no respect for those who get tattoos that don't mean anything to them. In fact it sorta pisses me off now to see a little star or generic tramp stamp. I think for one, it degrades the tattoo shabang. I mean tattoos were created by tribes to convey meaning (either it be man hood, or showing which tribe you belonged to, etc, etc) So why would you get a tattoo that has no meaning??
~
3) Do a lot of research when getting something like this done. It really helps. I don't think I would have ever gotten it done if I didn't know what to expect. (*) thats where I got that tip from. If you hold your breath, you could pass out which would be B-A-D!
~
4) Tattoos are addictive lol. I already want more. I got an idea in my head the other night. I want to get the moon phases on my forearms. What do you think my 2 followers?
I got it as realistic as I could. Its about 3 1/2 inches (a rl one is about 4-5) and its not all perfect. I literally took it from a paw print identification book.
~.~.~.~.~.~
I will post the butterfly update soon. ^.^

I Has A Happy
Hey guys! So a little update then some pics on a little pet project I have going on ^.^
Not too much going on. Just school and friends.
....
....
OH WAIT!
....My Birthday! *sarcastically hits forehead* thats what I was going to tell you!
....
=D Yup! So as of yesterday I am 18. Yesterday was sorta a bummer tho. I had classes all day. I did get birthday spankings from my mom -.- geeze when is she going to grow up? ...I kid I kid, I love my mom to no end lol.
But yea. Sorta boring 9 hours of class. Then I was too tired to go out that night. I literally went to bed a few hours after getting home...and slept to 11:30 this morning!
..thats 11 hours!!! I never sleep that long! : x I blame it on my bed. It was too damn comfy this morning!...
Anyway, so I was planning on going to a friends house but he wouldn't respond to my texts. I thought he was sleeping. So for like 3 hours I sent him like 10 messages saying "Wake up!" or "*poke* lazy ass...get up!"....well after that 3 hours he texted me back saying he was in court :x oh my bad. geeze did i feel like an ass. Sometimes I wonder when my social skills are supposed to kick in. But I said I was sorry and he still invited me over *heart* and thats where I spent the evening. Loads of fun.
ok so this "pet project" I have going on. One of my moms coworkers stopped by and dropped this off:
(yes that pic was there for inspiration for them^.-)
Yup! I got three monarch caterpillars! Well really I got two caterpillars and one already in its little chystalist thingy.
There's one
And
There is the other.
The third was already hanging at the time of first picture taking.
But now look!!!
They are all hanging in their little chytsalists! They should become butterflies now *hearts*
Hopefully by next week the first one will pop out. I will def. get pictures...so keep checking back for an update!

Techno Ninja had a Forking Good Weekend.
Geeze. I feel so bad for my um...*counts* 2 followers. I really haven't gotten on like I should have. The bad thing is that is not really about time...just that I get easily distracted >.<' So whats been going on? well I will tell you:
But let me rant really quickly.
Today has been a pretty sucky day. I mean I am still in a good mood, but only because I am me. So it started off with my class at 9 in the morning....gods that is way too damn early....and of course I wake up at the last minute. Well I get to school and go to park in the overflow parking. Its the closest to my building. ....oh but wait..its closed for some stupid reason. So I have to park waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the street on the other side of campus..arg. so I basically jogged to class.
...
And I broke my phone today, beheaded it actually.

*Hmm, my classes are still going pretty well. My FASFA isn't tho..seems I keep running into problem after problem with it.
*I am getting used to my car, can't say I love it like everyone said I would. I maybe like it just a little. ...but thats all!! lol. Yea, not driving it on the interstate yet tho.
*Finally got paid. Going to give most of it to my mom that I owe her for the car :/..but at least I have more then 3 dollars to my name now!
Oh and one important one...MY BIRTHDAY!!!! ..is in 8 days! yay! I am going to be turning 18.
....geeze my porn sales are going to drop! no more "underage" titles, gosh where is my income going to come from now. Maybe "hot college girl" titles will help a little. man...i might have to find a
I kid, I kid. Really, Just kidding.....O.o...or am I ?
I have decided I want some of that really cool 3D sidewalk caulk from crayola! That stuff is bang'n!
Anyways....my weekend was amazing. I hung out with my friends and got very little sleep lol. Met a cool guy. He juggles ^.^ how sweet is that? ...umm..got the title "techno ninja" from said cool guy. I don't exactly know how it stuck...it just did.I also got three new books. One of which I am reading called "the tutor" freakn sweet suspense novel. Really good..go get it lol

Folders?Check! Paper?Check! Pen?Check! Purse?....Crap
First day of college! Yay!
Today I had two classes, English Composition 111 (1pm-2) and Intro to Computer Applications(3pm-4).
I was so nervous at first! I mean, I really don't need a reason to get uber-nervous, so I was uber uber-nervous. But I made it...although I was so nervous I left my purse in my memaw's car >.<
Alright, so my English class seems it might be a toufy. The teacher is nice, but she seems really stiff. She is really strict as far as grading. We are going to be doing 5 big essays this semester, including the final. ...but.. I know one person from cave spring in there and I do get along with him. And I met this other guy who seems pretty down to earth and easy going. From experience even the best of class are hell if you don't have a few people you can talk to. So in the event of a hard class...its a must!
My computer class seems like its going to be a hoot. The teacher is this guy from Africa. He has a heavy accent and he is quite the character. He told us he doesn't know that much about computers *raises eyebrow* hmm...ok. And that this class is just going to be for learning a thing or two about computers and he says he won't make it where it would stress us out at all. ...So its an easy by-the-book course. To make it better, there is pretty cool guy sitting next to me who is also going into wildlife biology ^.^ So I hope I can strike up some interesting convo.
Anywho. That was my day. Tomorrow I have to get up early and go for one class, my orientation class. TTFN!

What has four wheels, an engine, but I can't drive it?
My car! Yup, I got a nice new (used) car. Its a Honda Civic with a pretty blue color. The windows are uber-tinted. And its a manual.....*creepy tiny voice in background* oh but Maggie, you don't know how to drive a manual! ......gee thanks, I know!
I am learning tho. Holy Haloed Cows its so hard. There is like a billion things to remember! I think the hardest is remembering to put it in neutral to brake. To me that just doesn't seem like a good design. But oh well. So I have like four hours under my belt right now. Still hard.
Here is a pic of the brute:
~~~~~~
Ok, so told you I would tell you about the bird watching and roasting hotdogs. Well after we picked up my bow, we drove out to this place, and no I can't tell you where...I don't remember where -.-'....and we stopped to roast hotdogs. Well notdogs really (I don't eat raised meat). I am so glad I brought my camera! There were two drozen or so differant mushrooms. There where just spouting everywhere!
Here some pics: (if you know any of these..comment me and tell me please!)
Two heads are better than one! This one also stank horrible!
1up!
Oh then we went to Tinkercreek and saw this!!

~Chemo-sabe~
FINALLY! A post that is interesting! Today has been a dream really, I was speechless most of the day. So as you had heard I was getting a new bow made for me. Well I got it today! ....but let me tell you the whole story.
So my mom has been doing chemo for a while and she goes to the cancer center downtown to get it. She has been there 3 times now. Well last time we went a guy came in with all these REALLY cool bows to talk to our nurse. He explained that all the bows were hand made and I was like wow! They were gorgeous. One had a mink hand grip! So we talk for a little bit and I tell him that I shoot a bow. He seemed pretty impressed that I shot a 45 pound 60 inch recurve.
So as we talk to him and the nurse (who is making a bow for herself under his instruction) I find out that he makes bows, arrows, arrow heads, knives, yadadada...all handmade and most replicas of native american such. Even cooler is he makes most of them with tools he makes himself!
Anyway, so we part ways. Well about two weeks later my mom comes back from chemo and says hey I got a surprise for you. The man who had the bows wanted to make me one!
Well he went home that day we met and thought about his niece(?) that has a 17 year old daughter. Well his niece had cancer too. So he sorta knew how hard is was to have a mother going through all that he is and such and decided to make a bow for me.
If that isn't like the sweetest thing ever. It brings tears to my eyes to think of him. I don't feel worthy o.o' He even named it for me (since a lot of native americans named their bows) He named it Chemo-sabe from the lone ranger kemosabe. Its the chemo bow for short because of the chemo he and my mom are going through.
I went to his house today to pick them up...Here is some pics:
There is my new bow!! (sorry for such shitty lighting)It is 42 pounds and around 50 inches. It is a "stick bow" which is one of the most common bows the Native Americans used since it was easy to make. Mine differs a little since it does have an arrow rest on in. (It falls under the long bow category)
Here is a close up on that arrow rest.
The wood its made out of is osage-orange. It will darken as it is exposed to light, but in my opinion it looks gorgeous dark or light! (He showed me what it will look like)
He signed it and dated it. His friend also signed it as he helped him a lot making it. (I blurred out their last names since...you know...stalkers and such and to protect their privacy...)
Oook so there was my bow. But I also got a tour of their house...which was like a MUSEUM!! They had sooo much in there...I snapped a few pics of course:
He had a big table of stuff. He had stuff he made and stuff he had found on the various trips he went on. The ones in the case here he had made. He also made the clay pots and fired them himself!
The arrow heads in this case are some that he had found. That dagger you see? Well that was one that he had made. He made another one just like it and his friend killed a boar with it.
Here are some more that he made...seriously there were like ten of these cases!
Yea, that is a spear! A frigging spear for goodness sake!! How cool is that?!? (I got to hold it tehe)
Here is a bow that he made. Beautiful huh?
More bows that he made.
This is his war plaque. He really is such a neat guy.
So yea....wow huh? I was speechless the whole time. I so want to sorta dedicate this post for him since he is such a special guy. I have found out that he is 72 years old. He had cancer in the throat and various other places. He has blood clots and he has to be fed through a feeding tube :,[ He gets three days of treatment every three weeks. (thats a lot of stuff to go through and it is really hard on the body)...Oh and icing on the cake, he did TWO tours in vietnam!! I mean he going through all that stuff in his life and he took his time to make me that bow. *teary eye*
After we left his house we went birdwatching and found a place to make a fire and roast veggie hotdogs. I got some great pics there too...but that will be tomorrow ^.^

No news is good news right?
Wow. Sorry guys I haven't put up a new post in a while. I mean I have been busy! I adopted a blind dog, I helped the old lady down the street put up shelves, I put out a fire at a burning children's hospital, and can't forget today I plan to end world hunger with cookies and milk. Homemade cookies for everyone!!
Yea. I lie....I have been lazing around the house. Sorry.
Lets see, what did happen this week? Hmmm...well... Oh! my sister came over on tuesday ( http://myenchanteddandelions.blogspot.com/ ) and brought my two nephews over. Ollie has a tooth! And like normal I am the last to hear about it : / He is also walking when he holds on to things! Geeze they are growing up so much.
So they came over and my memaw came over (that my mom's mom for those non-southeners lol) and my brothers girlfriend came over. It was such a big thing we moved the lawn furniture in the house and turned the ac on........wow. If that doesn't sound redneck.

H.A.S.B
Sorry I haven't been able to post in the past few days. It is not like I have been terribly busy, just not much going on to post about *shrugs*
Well one thing I did do is clean my room. In the past few weeks I have been working 10 hours or so a day, coming home just to strip and hop into bed. Well my poor room has just been neglected and used! There were piles of boxes from the stuff I took out of my old car (like a month ago 0:) and clothes strewn everywhere.
...You like that word? strewn. I do. I am going to strive to used that word more. strewn. Anyways, pardon me, I do digress...
Here is an after picture:
What?! What is that you see? FLOOR? No way! ...... -.- yea, It was that bad. I couldn't step on regular floor. It became a game of "find your way to the bed without stepping on something hazardous". Fun game. You should play it one day.
Yea, sadly I didn't get a before pic. I really didn't think about it. I just wanted it clean!
So yea, that took two days. I have been off work so not much else has happened. I got chiggers, but you really don't want to hear about that.
Oh! Yea I was watching Family Guy and you know Brian's ditzy gf he had/has? Well Stewie was talking about how she does that thing where she puts emphasis on the last words of the sentence like its a question. And Brian starts doing it....well now I get stuck talking like that everytime I think of it!!!! Arg! My life....
Thats about it. Sorry I am not more interesting *shrugs*

The lesser of the two evils.
Wow. Busy busy. So yesterday I get off work and my "cooperative worker" asks me to doggie sit for her. OF COURSE I WILL! I love doing easy fun work like that ...pardon, I do digress...Ok, so I plan for a fantastical friday evening with a few friends I have been dying to get together with and then stay out late making trouble, then go back to my "cooperative worker's" house and stay over so I can, you know, doggie sit.
Well, I get off work all excited. Then I find out that out of the two that I wanted/planned to see, one got food poisoning and the other got called back into work. ARG! My life sometimes!
Anyways, So I call my friend katie from http://anorangelife.blogspot.com/ and pick her up so we could hang out at the mall. ...OH! I saw this reallllllyy hot/cute/IWouldSoTapHer chick at Hot Topic. *drool* We were glancing at each other the whole time I was in there. We def. had something. Too bad I was too scared to go up there and talk to her. ..Last time I did that whole "flirting" thing at hot topic it didn't end well but pardon me, I do digress....So I ask a friend that works there what her status was. You know what he said? "She told me she wishes she was bi" WTH does that mean????? Its like saying "I wish I had a different religion" um? You feel one way or you don't. IDK
So we finish hanging out at the mall around 7ish, go to her house to pick stuff up. Go to my "cooperative worker's" house and doggie sit. I let the pup out, fed it, give it a treat and then we ordered pizza with a coupon. (Snaz deal too, extra large for 10 dollars..hella yea) We watch Soul Plane and eat. Go to bed.
And when I say go to bed, I mean get ready and snuggle up and pretend we are going to bed by saying goodnight, then 2 minutes later start a simple convo and don't stop talking til 1 in the morning!!
Thats all peachy but I had to take my D.I.P (driving improvement program) class today. Geeze-la-weeze. 8 hours of sitting there listening to lecturing. It was a couple who ran it. The guys was ok, but his wife annoyed the crap outta me for some reason. I guess it was because she talked to us (us as in the 21+ years old group plus me) as if we were 10!
And sadly that class put me in a really bad mood. Maybe since I only had like 4 hours of sleep and sitting there listening to what sign colors mean just don't mix. So I am in this gawd-awful grouchy mood.
It doesn't help its all cloudy outside. It was pretty when I had to be shut in a freezing cold, no windows, small room. Grr.
Sorry. I know miss meanie pants here. Well I can fix my mood. I have a bowl of spinach in the microwave and I am going to eat it while watching family guy and the simpsons : )
There is another pic for you from me with love. *heart*

I'm looking for the tits.
Lol. So the title will mean nothing to you, but hopefully it made you giggle, or at least slightly interested in the post.
If its the later, I am sorry. Because not much interesting happened today. I went to work and then on my "break" I went to best buy with my "co-operative worker" (lol not co worker....) She needed to buy a T.V
Oh guess what? Maggie the old-skool-because-she-can't-afford-new-skool wolf might be getting an Ipod!!!!! Which in my opinion is about time! My "co-operative worker" might be giving me her old one cuz she wants a Ipod touch. If she does...I am going to go berserk! Any MP3 player would be better then my crappy piece of junk I have. It was cool when I first got it. But here 4 years later: its missing 2/3rds of its original body, the only way to turn it on was sticking a small object in the hole where the power button used to be, and once on, you couldn't touch/move/ breath on it or it would turn off :/
So an Ipod would rock my world. You know what else rocked my world? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8913606&type=product&id=1214611180610 O.M.G.S they have like amazing fucking bass !! I am talking like it vibrates on your ears! ..........then you see the price *gaspfaint* thats more then a freaking TV!
And then we were walking out of the store and on a demo t.v flash the word "tits" only to be corrected with a jab from my "co-operative worker" in the ribs and told it said "its this" and she said I am just looking for tits. Lol, so true.
We go back to work. Eat dinner together and I am back at home. Snaz.
Here is a complimentary photo for you reading....
I will try to put more up here since I love my camera and love the photos that I take ^.^

College Bound!!
So I am officially un-officially registered for my classes at Virginia Western Community College! Oh I am so happy. All I need to do is pay and I will be officially registered *squee*
I go to work this morning, then head over to VWCC with my mom. (She had to go since I am under 18 and she had to sign stuff for me). First I have to take my placement test. Fun fun right? It wasn't too bad though. I zipped through the english and reading (I less then 3 english tests) and then hit the math.
And I mean hit hard.
Holy haloed cows it was hard. Most of it was percentage work. Ugh! So half I had forgotten how to do. The other half was horrible since all we could work with was a simple computer calculator.
Lol. Alright fun times here: I am taking the math and hit the square root section. Fuck. I totally didn't memorize my square roots last year! I had always used the calculator. So I am thinking. "Mannnnn, this sucks! Stupid simple calculator!" and cursing everytime √75 etc. came up. Wellllll luck has it, near the end of the test I see this tiny button in the corner next to the divison sign that says "SQRT" ...What the hell is that?....No...It can't be...Damn it....It is....Its the fucking square root button.
I mean really? And the old-timers get after the young'ens for using stuff like brb and ttyl. SQRT? How was my test-stressed brain supposed to register that as the square root button? At first glance I think "Squirt? Squart? what?....anyways...
So I get 99 on reading, 90 on English, 80 on pre-algebra, 50 on algebra (x.x thx SQRT!) and 59 on college algebra. I was told by several people there that my reading and english were excellant ^.^ I was like dhuh! (ok not really...I just blushed and said thanks!)
So time to register for classes.
We go from TLC to chapman hall and wait. Then go into counseling and wait. Then go to admissions and then the financial center. Find out my FASFA didn't go thru! Got that taken (sorta) care of.
And that brings me here. Back at home. I am planning taking my Memaw to VWCC to pay soon. I can't do it tomorrow cuz I gotta work. And that ends this post because I gots nothing else to write ^.^ Ciao!

New Blog
Yup. What you are reading is true. Believe it or not.
And I really don't care if you do or not.
Maggie is creating a blog. Wow. And maybe, just maybe, she might keep this one going longer then 2 weeks!
Ok, So the official first post for my blog. -
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
So today I am/was in a totally crazy good mood. I don't know why. I just woke up like that. (it soooo didn't help that I had coffee!) So I go to work, come back from work, jam out to some crazy hardcore metal, go back to work, and come home again. That's when I deciced, hell, I am bored, lets make a blog!
And so that brings me here.
Yea I know, you were hoping for some crazy exciting event that I felt MUST be shared to the world and thats why I started blogging.
Well you were wrong.
Cuz my world doesn't work like that. My world is a bit different. I am a bit different.
This blog is for the furry-bisexual-slightly-dyslexic-worst-luck-ever-wolf that is me. So I hope you enjoy following me and my blog. I am sure you will have a fun time laughing at me. I sure do:)
Just keep in mind, I am not a internet guru. What you see here before you is like an hour of playing around in the settings and it still sucks lol. I might make it better, or get my blog buddy http://anorangelife.blogspot.com/ to help me with it <3
