Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates and to those who don't, I hope that your holiday is awesome, too!!  We just dyed eggs in my house, which is pretty funny considering I'm the youngest and I'm 21.  The other 2 are 26 and 28.  I thought that was entertaining.

Apparently someone wants to know about me, so here you go, O.

Culinary- I have a weakness for my Grandmother's spaghetti, my Mother's lasagna, and my Aunt's butternut squash bake.

Literary- War stories like the Band of Brothers, The Things They Carried, and A Rumor of War.  I like some romance books (ones in a series so I get hooked on one and then I'm forced to buy others), mostly Suzanne Brockmann, Tara Janzen, Marie Ferrarella's Cavanaugh Justice series, and Christine Feehan's GhostWalkers.  Got a couple other authors but I only have one or two books in those series.  I also like some manga.  My favorites are Battle Royale and Trigun, but I also have a weakness for silly fun ones like Ouran High School Host Club.  Lol, funny stuff.

Audiovisual- I'm guessing favorite shows and movies.  Supernatural, Without a Trace, Criminal Minds, Bones, and the CSI's (LV and NY are the ones I catch the most.).  Lol, got a weakness for Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends and Totally Spies.  Those are the current ones, I won't get into the others- that would be REALLY long.  As for movies, I like Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Pirates of the Caribbean, Platoon, and both Underworld movies.  I'm sure I have more but right now I can't really think about them.

Musical- Mostly rock music but I like things with a good beat.  I enjoy Evanescence, The Fray, Nelly Furtado, 30 Seconds to Mars, Jimmy Eat World, Breaking Benjamin, Christina Aguilera's newer stuff, Lost Prophets, Incubus, and a bunch more that I can't think of right now.  These are just current obsessions.

Celebrity- Jensen Ackles, Poppy Montgomery, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell (where did he go?), Zack Ward.

There you go.  I'm gonna tag people who I know read my blogs (lol, that list is dwindling), so don't feel offended if you aren't tagged.

Hey guys!!  I'm level 8!!  (and can finally post a blog!)  That's pretty cool!  I just got Criminal Minds season 1 yesterday.  Very cool.  Anyway, just got a couple of random stories to tell.  Bear with me a moment.

First, my Dad went to put the rotors on my car and found out that the rotors I got are the wrong size because when I got the tires put on, they put on the wrong size tires.  So, when my Dad went to exchange them, they didn't have the right ones in stock, I had to go back several days later and now I'll have to wait a while again to get my Dad to put them on- again.  GRRRRR.....

Now, for an interesting (at least, to me) story.  I pulled out my Bones, Criminal Minds, and Without a Trace box sets and asked my Mom what she wanted to watch.  You know what she said?  "Well, I haven't seen many of the ones of those boys..."  Meaning, she wanted to watch Supernatural!!  Lol, I thought that was kinda funny and thought I should share.

Love, hugs, and well wishes to all!!

Thought it was about time to write a new blog.  Just some random stuff.

For anyone who missed the last blog (easy to miss my news in that one, but I figured my news could stand to be in small print considering the other news subject), my Bell's Palsy is gone.  I am 100% again.  I never realized how much I liked my smile until it was gone.  Still hate my nose, though.  Lol, that didn't change.

My mother tells me that we're even for the car insurance payments she made for me while I was out of work and I paid off my Victoria's Secret credit card (WHOO-HOO!!!)- two things I don't have to factor in for this coming month and I'm excited!!  My car got her oil change. *strokes my baby* It's okay JD...Daddy will put your rotars on soon...  *turns and shakes fist at sky*  Curses!!!  Can't you just give us a good weekend so Dad can make her better?!  Ahem.  Sorry.

I went shopping!!!  I got my stuff from Amazon (unless you know RE the game you wouldn't get it if I told you), Season 1 of Foster's (Curses!!  Ensnared me!- Or am I just tired of watching the same episodes in the morning while waiting to take the last one to school...?), Evanescence and Stone Sour CD's (Amy Lee rocks!  Listening to her now), a pair of black heels (very plain and kinda tight but I was in a rush and needed to get something then for a party and wasn't going out in the snow storm.  Did I mention how hard it is to find nice shoes in small sizes?  Grrr..), and- YES- Without a Trace Season 2!!  Next trip I'm getting Criminal Minds (just need money cause I think my excess is going into the makings for an Amaretto Sour this week).

Slowly but surely I'm catching up with stuff I missed while I was out of work.  I have plans to get Charmed Seasons 6&7 at some point- but those'll wait a bit.  I NEED to get the manga I missed (Trigun 10- where ARE you?!  I found 11...).

Uh, for anyone reading my FanFiction (or finding themselves remotely interested), I know my SN one hasn't been updated in a while, but I've hit a block.  If you guys have any ideas, send them over.  I know I need to get another chapter up. 

My WaT one is going along quite swimmingly, though.  My first FF didn't get as many reviews as I had hoped, but the second story is doing (in my opinion) really well.  I like this one better, too. 

 Well, here is my profile there, in case you wanted to take a look (I think I should update my websites...).  Pick the story that's right for you.  Any ideas for my SN-related fic, please send them over.  Sorry guys, but my WaT-related fics are completed (the one isn't finished being posted, though).  I loved the ending and I hope you read so you can tell me what you think.  Comments are always welcomed- I love to see them!!  http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1135525/

Whew!!  Longer blog than I thought it would be!!  Thanks for playing along (if, indeed, you did and didn't just zone out, eyes glazed over)!!  Love and hugs!!!

Hey guys!  Back online again.  I unfortunately come back online to find several blogs posted with very sad news.  Apparently a member of TV.com passed away last night.  So many people on my list thought so much of her to write about her in their blogs and I don't have all that many people on my list so you know she was well loved.  Her name was Drea and she was one of the most friendly people here.  My thoughts are with all of her family and friends right now.  I didn't know her, but she touched so many people's lives here that I needed to help get the word out.  There is a petition on Aplourey's blog for her remembrance.  Please at least take a read.  http://www.tv.com/users/aplourey/profile.php

And for a little more info on Drea, please visit KFCGravy's blogs.  http://www.tv.com/users/KFCgravy/profile.php

In my own news, the Bell's Palsy is gone and I can finally go wireless at my own house!!!  I know I haven't been on much lately because my computer doesn't want to register the cord now for some reason and it's extremely hard to get online when I'm babysitting a 3-year-old during the day.  For the next month my appearances will be kinda spotty because I'll have to be there for the kids' every waking moment and by the time I get home, I'll have to go right to sleep basically.  But at least it's only for 3 days a week, so I can get on most of the week.  Especially when those three days are spread apart.  Hey, it's good money and the kids are cute.

Thanks for all your messages and support guys!  My friends are the greatest!!  And since you guys are so great, I know you'll send all those thoughts to Drea's family and hopefully take a look at the petition.  Thanks guys!

My face is almost 100%!!!  My smile is almost normal now and my eye almost looks like the other one when I do smile!  No water comes spurting out from between my lips when I brush my teeth and my eye closes tightly now.  All that's left is the rest of my smile and my numb tongue- the thing that started it all.  Soon, my friends, soon...

Random notes- I got the rotars for my car, I just need to get them put on and the oil changed probably next week.  I'm catching up with paying my mom back for the car insurance and I got my trading cards.  So pretty...  I will admit to a patch of insanity where I bought an SN mug and Dean's Amulet.  But never fear!  My insanity is unlimited and will soon strike my Criminal Minds and Without a Trace fancy.

Sad, sad, random note- Since I've started babysitting, I've actually started to like and WANT to watch certan cartoons.  Save me!!!  My favorite is Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends.  Don't know why, but it garners my interest.  Weird, huh?

Really making me mad- Credit Card company Capital One.  No hassles, my rear!!!  They won't leave me alone!!  They billed me for something someone else charged on their own account and sent me the proof of it with the letter that said they were re-billing my account because the charge was valid.  HUH????!!!!!!!  I've called them and written to them so many times and no one there will listen to me, try to help me or can help me.  Now they've sent it to the collections department because I refuse to pay them and it's racked up several months worth of late charges.  I'm still not paying you, no matter how much you call me!!!  Ah, adulthood...
