How to Get Along with Me

* If you want me to do something, how you ask is important. I especially
don't like expectations or pressure.
* I like to listen and to be of service, but don't take advatage of this.
* Listen until I finish speaking, even though I meander a bit.
* Give me time to finish things and make decisions. It's OK to nudge
me gently and nonjudgmentally.
* Ask me questions to help me get clear.
* Tell me when you like how I look. I'm not averse to flattery.
* Hug me, show physical affection. It opens me up to my feelings.
* I like a good discussion but not a confrontation.
* Let me know you like what I've done or said.
* Laugh with me and share in my enjoyment of life.

What I Like About Being a Nine

* being nonjudgmental and accepting
* caring for and being concerned about others
* being able to relax and have a good time
* knowing that most people enjoy my company; I'm easy to be around
* my ability to see many different sides of an issue and to be a good
mediator and facilitator
* my heightened awareness of sensations, aesthetics, and the here and
now
* being able to go with the flow and feel one with the universe

What's Hard About Being a Nine

* being judged and misunderstood for being placid and/or indecisive
* being critical of myself for lacking initiative and discipline
* being too sensitive to criticism; taking every raised eyebrow and twitch
of the mouth personally
* being confused about what I really want
* caring too much about what others will think of me
* not being listened to or taken seriously

Nines as Children Often

* feel ignored and that their wants, opinions, and feelings are unimportant
* tune out a lot, especially when others argue
* are "good" children: deny anger or keep it to themselves

Nines as Parents

* are supportive, kind, and warm
* are sometimes overly permissive or nondirective

For all you folks that actually read this.. YES.. I am still alive..

My life is so incredibly dull, that to have something to update, something needs to happen.. and nothing much ever happens that is of real interest..

mmMMmmmmSo.. Updating.. its been nearly a year.. whats happened you ask..? well.. As stated previously.. not alot.. Lets all pile in the way-back Machine and take a look..

June last year.. turned 29.. Guh.. I cant believe im that old.. In fact I refuse to be that old.. instead, I vote for being.. Ehh.. 25 again.. It was a good year when the price of my car insurance went down. A week after that was the 4th of July.. Couple things here of interest, first being that it was my 10 year High School reunion.. That was interesting.. Many of the folk I had gone to school with had changed little, some had changed alot.. We had our picture taken again, those of us that showed up.. JD and I went..
..I was a bit disapointed in my brother and Sister-in-law.. Who said they didnt care to see ANY of those people.. It struck me as snobbish..
The same day, Stefanie came up to visit.. ^_^ this made me very happy, and we ended up staying the night out in Dads camper.. Since the house hold rules.. rather dumb rules I might add, wouldnt allow us to stay in the same room together.. stoopid stoopid stoopid..
Anyways, the next day we went up to Helena to stay with Seth and Becky and Chris and Sara and the boys and destroy things on teh 4th of July.. was very fun, and I didnt nearly get killed this time, though there was alot of joking about it.. okay.. yeah.. ~L~ it was funny..
AUGUST: hot.. hothot.. really damn hot.. I moved downstairs into Zachs old room.. I cant say I really care for it..
OCTOBER: Always love this month.. I was going to do the samurai thing for halloween, but it fell though.. I have the fabric still for the kimono, but no patter.. However, I have a lovely new set of swords.. Which didnt arrive in time for said holiday anyhow.. Ah wells.. Next year.. By then my hair should be good and long if I can live with it that long.. Its to my shoulders now..
NOVEMBER: Mom came to visit briefly.. that always makes me happy, since she lives in Ore. now.. She could only stay for a day or two.. But we had lunch and such so that was nice.. Thanksgiving out at Chris and Joe's.. That was very good too, came back home afterward, and Chris and my cousin Jessie hung out for a while.. Played F.E.A.R. which is a very awesome game.. all psychological warfare and shit.. messes ya up.. ....creepy lil girl..

DECEMBER: work was busy.. Tis the season after all, since im in retail.. It was freakin nuts.. but it ended up all better, or so I think.. Went to Chris and Joes again for Dads B-day on the 18th.. which was good, right up till the point when I was backin out, and put a dent in the front quarter panel of the Nova.. RAWR!! but accidents happen.. Le Sigh.
CHRISTMAS and BEFORE: the company dinner was at a place called the rib and chop house here.. it was fan-friggen-tastic! I sat beside Lori's husband Don and we talked and all had a good time.. though it was a little warm, Don and I were seated right in front of the fireplace.. So we roasted.. cash bonus for the season really helped, though it wasnt as much as I thought it would be.. Guess im still the FNG after all.. Christmas, I went out to Dads for breakfast.. that was WAY nummie.. sausages and french toast and crepes and all that good stuff.. Only got one present this year, but I can say im happy with it.. 2 gig black iPOD NANO.. ( listening to it now actually ) Saw my cousin Lauren, whom I havent seen in forever.. and was surprised that shes taller than me now.. GUH! but everyone was doing well.. Went home, crammed music on my new toy, then went out to Todd and Carie's for dinner.. Chris and I listened to my iPOD and we had another good time..
NEW YEARS.. Meh.. It was close to just another day.. I had dinner with JD and Becca and their relatives.. Spent time with my lovely online, then fell asleep just passed midnight cos I was so dead tired..
JANUARY: well, just another month that ended really fast it seems.. Celebrated Stefi's birthday, and I came to the realization that I hate not being there for these things.. So this will be the year I move.. I hope I hope.. One way or another.. I'll be down there soon, and hopefully permanently..

anyways.. thats what ive been up to.. SEE boring.. ~nodnods~

:: how jedi are you? ::

jeez, I havent updated this in so long..

Just to let you all know im still alive, but I dont know if many of.. anyone.. reads this..

last night I was talking to my lovely, and we talked about visitn's and such, and just a general need to be out of the house today (more on that later).. we spoke about the fact that where she is, its never going to be spring... ^_^ She's not seen the ground there in a long time since its been covered in snow, so I suggested she come up here to see the ground that we have, it of course had only been up till this morning.. raining.. Seems nature hates me being right, cos when I last looked outside it was blizzarding like theres no tomorrow. >_<;;
My guess would be that we didnt get enough winter this past winter, and now its making up for it by dumping on us in the spring.. then again its snowed here in August before, so no real suprise I guess..

RANDOM THOUGHT - damn im hungry.. i should go eat..

Im not looking forward to venturing out today, A: because of the inclimate weather.. and B: because I might run into my downstairs room mate..
"Wot's.. Uhh the deal - Pink Floyd"
For the past 4 or 5 months now.. yes.. MONTHS.. the downstairs guy has been without a job.. and its causing an unsettlement in the household, which of course I tried to not let bother me.. Nothing really ever does. But when the fellow wants to move out of here, and get an appartment with me someplace else later on this year.. the fact that he isnt employed, and takes him well over 3-4 months to find a new job, doesnt instill alot of confidence in me.. (not to mention that he's now taken to eating everyone elses food in the house. BAD WEASEL!)
Sure we all need a vacation occasionally.. but this is wrong. Whats worse is that everytime he DOES have a job, he either gets fired, or decides he doesnt like the job and quits a few months later.. ugh.. i dont know.
I should jsut get my own place again, if only I could afford to do so.. perhaps after I get my dead car dealt with..

Also on the agenda, is getting the Nova up to spec..
I drive a 1969 Chevy Nova, thats dark purple and tinted windows, and beautiful.. though the interior is this ugly ass green, i dont tell her so because I dont want the car to develope a complex of some sort.. ^_^
...anyways, I want to get a new engine into it.. perhaps one more fuel efficent than the one in it now.. although the straight 6 does alright, but it DOES limit my range because its favorite drink is gasoline..

RANDOM THOUGHT - One of these days I should see how far I can go ona tank of gas..

..anyways.. I guess that by adjusting a few items in the engine I COULD make it more fuel efficent.. (yay for carberated engines) and perhaps then I could get out of town, and go farther than just Bozeman.. (Ideally.. to Nevada ^_^)

Okay, thats enough bitching outta me for now.. I have projects to be doing on my days off, rather than ranting here..
( learning 3dS-MAX, modifying the Super-Sylph for modeling.. mebbe a movie or two.. YES, thats a project of mine. )

In the imortal words of deal old Al
"Take her easy, and if she goes easy, take her twice."

Getting my stuff all sorted out.. but in the mean time.. kinda scalped from Silvie.. well.. A link from the quiz on her LJ..


Which File Extension are You?

..The secret is to bang the rocks together guys!

Meh.. It's late, and i'm tired.. Life in general has been sucking more than usual. If it were not for certain people, i'm sure I would have gone bonkers by now..

First in the line up, Last year when the place I was working at closed. my boss skipped town with out paying some bills to the payroll services that he was using.. Sure, when he split he paid us in cash,a nd sure, it was way more than we should have gotten.. But still its really messing me up this year.. The place that sends us ( or would have sent us ) our W2 forms, said that because my old boss owed them so much money, they weren't going to send US our W2's, unless we shelled out 40$.. Instead we get to receive copies of our pay stubs, and can do our taxes off of that..
Something about that just seems wrong to me.. maybe not, illegal.. but WRONG none the less..
Thankfully my current boss called his CPA and got some information for me, and I'll be calling the dept of labor soon to get some answers. Downside being i'll get my refund later rather than sooner..

Next up, is the phone.. After the place I worked in closed, I had a choice. To pay for my car and whatnot, or to pay my phone bill.. I chose the car naturally. ( Which my brother didn't seem to understand.. ¬_¬;; dont even get me started on that. ) So it was shut off. Finally i'm getting back on my feet to the point where I may be able to pay it off, and get reconnected.. BUT its still about 200$ that I don't have.. Guess i'll just pay away on it till i'm even.

last is my home life.. Not a whole lot to say on this point, apart from IT'S GETTING ON MY NERVES! The hypocrisy of this place is getting pretty bad. Eg: you can cook, so long as it doesn't 'smell'.. ( 'smell' being defined as anything with garlic or onion, or.. well anything that smells good ) eh.. I think its time to be moving on.. Zach and I are planning on getting a place later this year.. should be gooder.. ^_^

Okay.. I think thats enough gripping for now.. I leave you with
'Rob Zombie, and Alice cooper' singing "Hands of Death ( burn baby burn )" hehehee.. wicked evilness..

Eh.. well Ive been told I need to get one of these.. and so here it is.
Congrats to Silvie for convince me to do it..

now the trick will be updating it with any regularity..
