Kitten Kisses

This journal is being abandoned.

If some freak named wonderful_words starts babbling incoherently to you, it's just me. Don't panic. (Unless you really want to.)

If you want to follow me over there, that's fine. But beware, cause... It's actually my (fanfiction) writing journal, where you will never get a break from my ramblings. Real life stuff will go under LJ-cut there.

See you around!

Cheers,
-Manna (KK)

I cut my hair.

And I do mean, I cut my hair.

Like, a lot of it.

Maybe a foot?

Why, you ask? Well, why not. Now I look like Cleopatra (bangs included!). Woe is me. But shorter hair is fun! I mean, I curled it ala Nancy Drew. So I look like Nancy Drew with bangs...sorta.

My current music is actually also the song on my phone that plays when I receive a text message. Haha.

EDIT OF DOOM:

Okay, so I exaggerated a little bit. Man, the people at work are NOT going to let me live this down!!

...At least I didn't perm it like they all suggested! Though, the hairstyle I have now went out of style like, twenty years ago.

Current Music: Every Breath You Take- The Police

Stolen from my BBQ buddy on dA:


Rules:
1. Open your library
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button

Opening Credits:
“When You Say You Love Me” –Josh Groban
I seriously love Josh Groban, and I guess it could fit. Considering I was conceived in love, I guess. Lol!

‘What could it be, that comes over me?
At times I can’t move…at times I can hardly breathe…
When you say you love me… the world goes still,
So still inside and, when you say you love me,
For a moment, there’s no one else, alive…’

Waking Up:
“Deadwood Mountain” –Big&Rich.
I guess I …uh, woke up hoping to die…or maybe ready to die?

‘But it won’t really matter, someday when I’m gone…
You can bury me, on Deadwood Mountain,
By my brother Wild Bill and sister Calamity Jane…
Don’t bring me no flowers…just a six-gun smokin’,
And put me eight feet down, when you bury me.’


First Day At School:
“Little Rock” –Collin Raye
…Okay, so “a new start” part fits, but the whole “Alcoholic” theme really doesn’t. Unless I secretly became an alcoholic on my first day of school?

‘I think I’m on a roll,
here in Little Rock…
I’m solid as a stone, baby wait and see…
I’ve got just one small problem here in Little Rock…
Without you, baby, I’m not me.’

Childhood:
“Scars” –Papa Roach
Uhm…yeah. Not.

‘I tear my heart open,
I sew myself shut.
My weakness is, that I care too much.
And our scars remind us, that the past is real.
I tear my heart open, just to feel.’

Falling In Love:
“Remember When It Rained?” –Josh Groban
Well, at least it’s a song I really like. Hahaha!

“Ohhhh, remember when it rained?
Felt the ground, and looked up high,
And called your name.
Ohhhh, remember when it rained?
In the water I remain…
Running down…
Running down… Running down…
Running down…’


Fight Song:
“Somewhere Over The Rainbow (mixed, from 50 First Dates)”
……What a pansy fight song. I’m such a weakling! *Cries*

‘Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly,
And the dreams that you dare to,
Oh why, oh why can’t I?
Well I see tree’s of green, and red roses too,
I’ll watch them bloom for me and you,
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.’


Breaking Up:
“People Need The Lord” –Steve Green
Well, I guess this makes sense. Not too bad (better than my fight song!).

‘Every day they pass me by, I can see it in their eyes,
Empty people filled with care, Headed who knows where…
On they go, through private pain, Living fear to fear,
Laughter hides their silent cries, only Jesus hears…
People need the Lord; People need the Lord;
At the end of broken dreams, is the open door…
People need the Lord; People need the Lord;
When will we realize? People need the Lord.’

Prom:
“Shout” -?
….Yeah, but at least it’s a happy song!

‘You know you make me wanna SHOUT
(Kick my heels up and)
SHOUT
(Throw my hands up and)
SHOUT
(Throw my head back and)
SHOUT
Shoobedoowap, bop, bop bop
(repeated about a thousand times)’

Life:
“Carrying Your Love With Me” –George Strait
Actually, a pretty good song for life. :)

‘Baby, all I’ve got’s this beat up leather bag,
And everything I own don’t fill up half,
But don’t you worry ‘bout the way I pack,
All I care about is gettin‘ back, real soon…
A goodbye kiss, is all I need from you…
Cause I’m carryin’ your love with me,
West Virginia down to Tennessee,
I’ll be movin’ with the Good Lord’s speed,
Carryin’ your love with me.’

High School:
“Haunted” –Evanescense
Uhm…that was more Junior High, but okay. LMAO.

‘Watching me, wanting me,
I can hear you pull me down,
Feeling you, loving you,
I won’t let you pull me down.’

College:
“Where The Green Grass Grows” –Tim McGraw
Maybe this is a sign I should’ve gone to college, hahaha!

‘Six lanes, taillights,
Red ants marchin’ into the night,
The disappear to the left and right, again,
Another supper, from a sack,
A ninety-nine cent Heart Attack,
I’ve got a poundin’ head and an achin’ back,
And the camel’s buried in a big straw stack:
I’m gonna live where the green grass grows- watch my corn pop up in rows,
Every night, be tucked in close to you.
Raise our kids, where the Good Lord’s blessed,
Point our rockin’ chairs towards the west,
And plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows—Where the green grass grows.


Mental Breakdown:
“Sound The Bugle” –Bryan Adams
This actually fits a mental breakdown really well. It’s practically ABOUT a mental breakdown, haha.

‘Sound the bugle now, tell them I don’t care;
There’s a road I know, that leads to anywhere.
Without a light, I, fear that I will stumble in the dark,
Lay right down- decide, not to go on…
Then from on high- somewhere in the distance,
There’s a voice, that calls, ‘remember who you are’,
If you lose yourself, your courage soon will follow
So be strong tonight- remember who you are.’

Driving:
“All of Me” –Evanescense
Not a great driving song. But a decent song, nonetheless.

‘I’m so tired of being here,
Suppressed by all my childish fears,
And if you have to leave,
I wish that you would just leave,
Cause your presence still lingers here,
And it won’t leave me alone.
These wounds won’t seem to heal, this pain is just too real,
There’s just too much that time cannot erase.’

Flashback:
“Right Here” –Staind
Hahaha, kind of strange as a ‘flashback’ song, I think. But then again, maybe not.

‘I know I’ve been mistaken, but just give me a break and see the changes that I’ve made.
I’ve got some imperfections, but how can you collect them all and throw them in my face?
But you always find a way, to keep me right here waiting;
You always find the words to say, to keep me right here waiting.
And if you chose to walk away, I’d still be right here waiting,
Searching for the thigns to say, to keep you right here waiting.’

Getting Back Together:
“Hicktown” –Jason Aldean
Just…wrong. WRONG WRONG WRONG.

‘Little Jimmy Jackson, is jackin’ up his Bronco-
He’s gonna lay a little rubber later on at the truck pull.
And all the girl’s are getting’ pretty,
They’re sprayin’ on their White Rain.
Yeah, they’re gonna get rowdy tonight,
Down at the football game…
Yeah! We let it rip! When we got the money, let it roll,
If we got the gas, it gets wild.
Yeahhh, but that’s the way we get down-
Little Hicktown!

Wedding:
“If I Were You” –Collin Raye
Uhm…not quite a wedding song, but not too bad.

‘But if I were you, I’d promise to live life for all it’s worth,
Take all that you’ve been given, and leave your mark upon this earth.
Trust your heart to show you everything you’ll ever need…
And if I were you- I’d fall in love with me.’

Birth of Child:
“Feel Good, Inc.” –Gorillaz
NO, IT WON’T FEEL GOOD. NOT IN ANY WAY.

‘Windmill windmill for the land
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all there on your stride
It is tickling fallin' down
Love forever love is free
Turn forever you and me
windmill windmill for the land
Is everybody in?’

Final Battle:
”The Sinner’s Prayer” –Ray Boltz
*DIES LAUGHING* OMG, not really a final battle song at all.

’Jesus, I believe that you are there
And you’re listening to this Sinner’s Prayer,
Touch this broken heart,
And make it new,
I believe in You.’

Death Scene:
“Animals” –Nickelback
..ROFL, no way. NO WAY. Good way to go, though, right? :lol:

‘We were parked out by the tracks
We're sitting in the back
And we just started getting busy
When she whispered "what was that?"
The wind, I think 'cause no one else knows where we are
And that was when she started screamin'
"That's my dad outside the car!"
Oh please, the keys, they're not in the ignition
Must have wound up on the floor while
we were switching our positions
I guess they knew that she was missing
As I tried to tell her dad it was her mouth that I was kissing.

Funeral Song:
“Never Too Old For Young Love” –Eddy Raven
Yeah, isn’t that how I died? LMAO.

</i> ‘We’re a little too old for the High School dance,
But we still like a little backseat romance.
So let’s pull the top down on the car,
Spend the night underneath the stars.
Cause you’re never too old for, young love,
Never too old for, young love.’</i>

End Credits:
“Celebration” -? (
Classic party song…yeaaaah, that’s what everyone ELSE will be doing!

‘Celebrate, good times, come on!
Let’s celebrate!
Celebrate, good times, come on!
Let’s celebrate!’

Okay. (Got the WTF icon going today.)

I'm not dead.

Almost, but not quite.

My 2-year term at Honda is over. I'm going back. I don't know why, but I am. I think Honda is some kind of infectious disease that spreads throughout your entire body and consumes your heart and soul...until you get to the point that you feel bored if you're not slapping parts on cars all day long.

I have three weeks at least, until I can go back. I'm just sittin' here waiting for it to come back. Tuesday, I have to get a drug test for them. Whoever invented drug testing needs shot.

Other than that...I've been playing World of Warcraft! I'm such a n00b, it's hilarious.

My buddies in Virginia are getting married on the ...(Duh! Brain dead! BRAIN COME BACK!)..15th? Of April. I got volunteered to be the Maid of honor/only Bridesmaid. ...Yeah. Yay. Okay. Thank God it'll be a really tiny group of people. Wonder what kind of dress I should wear? Hahaha.

Kachow! Kachow! Kachow! Kachow!

That's all for now, citizens. :D

Didn't ya? Didn't YA?!

Well guess what. I'm STILL HERE. [insert awesome music here]

I know nobody was REALLY thinking that, but I'm bored. And tired. And if I had a life, I would spend it here. Alas, I do not, and I spend it doing other things.

Pony MEET! PONY MEET! Hurrah! Huzzah!

I'm not a seductive person, but hey. I'm taking a quiz.

Got some new people at work. Gene, Gerry, and ...Kaylie. Kaylie is nice, might be a tad lazy. Gene is good looking, but I think he's married (and my line already made a scene about him being there [ie: Single Woman sees new guy, har har har... they think they are so funny!], but they're all stupid). Gerry is...weird. But seems willing to learn.

GUESS WHAT?

My job is almost over! My job is almost over! My job is almost over! My job is almost over!

Less than two months. Ohhh, boy. I can't WAIT! I'm going back, though. However, a whole month away will do me some good! They made everyone get new steel-toed shoes, and now they can't have metal eyelets or anything, for fear they'll scratch a car. *Sigh* I HATE HATE HATE steel-toed tennis shoes. They hurt my feet so much.

Ranma 1/2 is like...the BEST. So entertaining.

I'm such a freak. I volunteered to support 2nd shift on Monday night. (So I'll be working 6:30am-9:00pm, and then getting up at 5 to do a 6:30am-3:00pm again). Ohhh, boy. But guess what? We're working on Saturday, too. That's two lovely checks, all in a row! And that means I can spend a little on Ranma 1/2 DVDs. =3

Our hound dogs hate sirens. HAHAHA. They're just howling away. =D

AND MY SEDUCTION STYLE IS.......very true. Haha!

I'm back for two minutes. Well, I came by to type this. I'm picking up some ponies (or going to attempt to) tonight at Target...

I ha...I mean, LOVE my job...

Actually, I can't lie. I wish I didn't have to work at Honda. It kinda sucks. Getting up early sucks (I have been trying a year-and-a-half to be a morning person. IT IS NOT WORKING). Working there sucks. My boss/TeamLeader sucks. I'm tired of doing the same thing over and over again, working with the same annoying people over and over again...

I can't wait for Februrary when my term ends. That'll be great. Then I can look for another job(that I'll end up hating).

I have a lot of trades I'm working on right now with pony people. I won't be back at dA anytime soon. I'm trying to brush up on my Fanfiction writing skills. I miss writing, and I don't feel like drawing at all.

Maybe I'll write more when I get my thoughts together later.

Someone is outside in the yard. They almost look like a Honda worker, bu tthey're wearing jeans I think. The tree branches are obscuring my view. They're on a motorcycle (a vehicle I don't ever want to ride on).

I want a miniature horse.

I want more kitties.

I WANT A UNICORN.

But a Spyder will do nicely. ^_^

.......I was asked if I was pregnant today.

Right at the end of the day.

And they were dead serious.

"AMANDA, ARE YOU PREGNANT?!"

I said "No", of course, because I'm obviously not, and they said, "Well, what's that in the front, then?".

I said it was my gut. LOL. How depressing. I need to learn to eat better, because I'm starving right now, and a few Pringles aren't doing the trick. However, I don't want my expand-o-belly to get any bigger by eating anything big right before bedtime!

And I can't stay up too late, because I want to catch the new episodes of Pokemon tomorrow morning (before I would ever get up). :D

I think I'll tape them so I can listen to the new voices some more.

My stomach feels big and preggy-like.

Tom told my old boss (who works in a different area now) that I was "Under the influence", har har. I told him that was awful (I was joking, of course), and then I added on what I was asked about being pregnant. I didn't like his response; kinda a "...what? haha" type of a thing. Like I REALLY DO LOOK PREGNANT.

I was horrified that I had to go to the store with my brother after work, too. Even though I guess we look a lot alike, we're mistaken for gf/bf or hubby/wife a lot. >_<;; GROSS.

My stomach hurts. Teh hunger, yo. The gross 7up isn't helping me.

My sister's at the football game right now. I'm waiting up for her to beg her to go to the flea market tomorrow with me, cause it'll be nice outside, and I have to work next Saturday (DARN THAT).

GO BUCKS!!! BEAT TEXAS!!! GO BUCKS!! BEAT TEXAS!!
...........................please?

I'm still reading fanfiction, by the way. Just slower. And while my nose runs nonstop (allergies are 10 times worse at night for me), and my head feels as if it will go explodey at any given moment... ahh, I love life.

My icon is my "WTF" icon. :D

Not posting the same stuff that I did over on dA this time. Uhh...

Let's see.

I'm housesitting again- a whole week this time. I called off of work today. I've been crying a lot. Emotional wreck, LOL!! I miss my cat a LOT.

I'll be making an account on dA just for pony (and other toy) photographs. Sounds dumb, but I don't want to upload pony pictures to my normal photography account. ^_^;

I'm way behind on deviations and comments on dA, again. Oh well.

I'm not inspired for art.

I'm back into pokemon. At least for a little while. ;)

I need more coffee.

Tired... ;_;

Okay, so here's a (kinda) update.

I haven't really done much of anything. I did some things. Sorta. Right now I'm house-sitting. Fun fun fun. >:3 Three cats and a dog here, too. And food. Hehehehe.

I feel weird living in someone else's house, though. But there are shelves of movies and stuff to watch. Plus they have wi-fi, so I can get online with my laptop. Heehee.

Not much else to say.

I don't know. Maybe I'm coming back here? Maybe not. I came to find someone's email, and got sidetracked by replying to journals. I'm such a loser.

Computer's fixed. Yay.

I work on Saturday. Double-Yay. (detect that sarcasm?)

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/27457307/ DID NOT DESERVE TO BE A DAILY DEVIATION. -___-

I haven't been here in awhile.

Anyway, my computer isn't letting me click on the buttons like "Reply", "Attach Files" or "Move To..." in my email. At all. It's also not letting me click buttons allowing me to scan. My Yahoo!Mail all say "Error on page" at the bottom. Why is this?

I'm going to go mess with my internet history and cookies to see if that works (again), but I dunno...it's starting to get irritating.

Yeah. Okay. So I got a call about 15 minutes ago from my friends from Virginia.

"Yeah, we're about 40 minutes away."

No. Hold on. BACK UP THIS TRAIN.

40 minutes away? I didn't even know you were coming! I was napping, in my pajamas...when you called. Ugh. I don't know if I should be bugged or not. Glad they're here-- I guess-- but my entire weekend is gonna be shot, I'll bet! I do have to go to the store tomorrow, but yeah. Hopefully they'll be busy doing something else. She said that her grandfather died, but she still knew 24 hours ahead (I mean, before they left), and they could have called me after-work YESTERDAY to tell me they'd be coming.

Ahhh...;___;

Gosh, I'm so tired. I'll stab them (mentally) if they even SUGGEST going out to eat. They know I hate it. Especially on a Friday, after work. I'm exhausted!

Tales of Phantasia! Yay!

*Had it all day and called off of work, and still hasn't played it*

...I'll get to it, someday. Yeah.

In the meantime...

~American Idollllll~

It's like...snowing. Outside. Yeah. But it's been so mild of a winter, I guess I don't care. Unless I end up in a ditch on the way to work tomorrow- then I'll care.

I haven't been to this site all week. Or since I last posted, anyhow.

Uhm, I've been working on art... I've been working... I've not been coming to this site. I'm not sure why.

My brother has a friend over. I wish they'd leave already, so I can take a shower. >_>

*plays around with Prismacolor markers* The silver one is like...awesome. :D *draws a pink zebra*

-goes to take a shower-
-comes back-

I hate it when there's no water pressure, and the water's also cold. That was a crappy shower.

Lesse... On the 7th, Tales of Phantasia comes out (I've been waiting for this for years!), and so does Howl's Moving Castle. I want.

I'm hungry. Tired. Waiting for my DVD's to come in the mail (could they be any slower?).

Uhm...yep. That's 'bout it. *nod*

Hello people at work! *waves* Yeah, okay, I got my hair cut...two WEEKS ago, and how many of you noticed?

Three? WHAT?!

Why is that? The last time I had bangs cut, I was like...7 years old! So when you've known me for 4 months to a year...why wouldn't you notice?

*sigh*

On another note, I promise to get pictures of my new hairstyle. Yeah. Haha.

And... fanficrants is AWESOME. I wish I'd have found it sooner! Thanks Pearl!

I'm sick. Yeah. I feel like crap. But, it's back to work again tomorrow!

Current Music: Is that...my COMPUTER I HEAR?

I didn't go to work today. Yeah, I picked up the phone last night, and called off. It was really nice not having to get up so early. But it's like...the day was over before it even started. Blech. I picked up my crochet needles and started to re-learn (from a book), how to crochet. I don't want to be like, a Crochet Ninja Master, or anything odd, I'd just like to be able to do a few simple things. Pony sweaters would be cool, dontcha think?

Thanks to midnightfury posting a reference sheet, I've been thinking of doing my own, for my characters. But I dunno. I haven't really been able to draw anything well anymore. ^_^;

Still haven't gotten any writing done.

Started to re-watch G Gundam (which I really liked at one point in my life).

I want to learn to sew clothes. Too bad I don't know anybody that can do that. Bleh.

I'm gonna go play with my Sculpey stuff, now. o_o Will I make something worthwhile?
