Vacation Babble

Sorry I have not posted, I am on vacation. Well, that is to say I have a paid week off that I am spending at home with my fiance.

I have also gotten into a few facebook apps. Yes I know moan and groan blah blah blah. I am playing social city and kingdoms of camelot. I like these two games and will probably keep up with them for a while, but as usual when I go back to work there is a good chance I will stop being quite as dedicated to these apps. Apps can be addictive and are a huge waste of time I know, but no more so than, playing board games, reading a book, or watching t.v. So there.

Anyhow, I also have created another blog because I am so proud of myself for doing the best I can on a budget. So I am sharing what I can about how to survive a paycheck to paycheck lifestyle. So check it out of you want.

I also have been looking for a new place to live. I hate moving. But being this busy has obviously organized my thoughts as I cannot seem to properly babble. As you can see it just isn't working. So I apologize for the not as entertaining babble. I offer you this however, visit my http://www.youtube.com/phnyxrose page and I assure you, you will find something entertaining there.

Hope you all are having lots of fun and still surviving.

Always,
Sheena

*Update 9/2013* I Have delted the blog I mentioned in this post due to the fact I wasn't keeping up with it and thusly had no followers.

Oh My Gosh

You know whats funny, no not the comment question of the day.. well that too, but this time I mean, the fact that I have never broken any bones. You know what, I twist ankles and wrists all the time, never sprained and never broken though. I fell on my neck from the monkey bars when I was a kid and blacked out, woke up in the nurses office, I was fine. My brother kicked a soccer ball that hit me in the head, slamming me against a brick wall and knocking me out, but I was fine. Flipped a bicycle entirely over landing face first in the pavement, but you got it, I was fine. I suppose I am not complaining, I just think it is odd, I am a super-duper klutz and yet, I am always fine.

Which reminds me of the song, Hey Mickey your so fine you blow my mind hey Mickey! Which, of course, reminds me of the Mickey Mouse club! M.I.C. See you real soon, K.E.Y. Why because we like you, M.o.u.s.eeeeeeeeeee. Mickey Mouse! Donald Duck! Oh sigh.

Anyhow, ooh speaking of sighing, that makes me think of a si, psy, psi, sci... um *googles it*...OH it's Sai... which are the kobudo weapons that Rafael used in TMNT. If you do not know what that is, well.. google it hehe.

I love google, I must say. You can find almost anything via google. I finally signed up for an igoogle page, and it is pretty neat admitedly. I have an app to track my diet diary. I have an app that gives me writing quotes and ideas. I have a scrabble app that I can play... ooh that reminds 1. I love scrabble! and all word games & 2. I still have a game going I should go play lol.

Anyhow, speaking of word games, have you ever played word association? Which is kinda what I do on the babble, sept its thought association lol. Anyway ... FOCUS... I used to play a word association game with my friends, where you would write a list of words, (including a few you knew would trigger reactions such as ex girlfriends names etc.) and then sit face to face with the person, and read them one at a time while the other person had to spit out the first word that came to mind. It could get pretty funny, though on occasion if the people mentioned were in the room it could get a bit upsetting. Oh ya we used to make mad libs too. I love mad libs!

Oh my gosh, that makes me wanna watch mad tv and spy vs. spy... But funnily that made me think of.... Good Golly Miss Molly! LoL

Sometimes I wish I lived in the 50's, but on the other hand I am happy for the liberties we have today, that we wouldn't have had back then. I suppose I just crave the simplicity of the life style that is portrayed of that time period.

My Father used to say I should have lived in the 60's because I would have been a flower child. Funny thing is he was a marine who didn't much care for hippies so I am not sure if that was a compliment or an insult. My Mom was the hippy type though so who knows.

My father was insane by the way, so yeah. Insane in the Membrane! lol. I never stop, I really don't, it drives My fiancée mad. I love it & him :)

My feet are cold right now, which made me think of Men in Tights, the movie. Where Robin was talking with that guy about a great feet of strength... Oh some how that made me think of the old Who's on First uh riddle? I dunno what its called, joke maybe. I always liked that. Kind of reminds me of the Meatloaf song where there is a middle part of the song with a sports-like announcer reading off how the guy is going to score on the girl. Kind of funny, I love Meatloaf, the singer & the food!

My mom loved ketchup on everything, just thought I would share that.

Anyway it is just about time for me to turn in, to what? I dunno. But seriously I am off to bed so hope you all sleep well! Dang it that made me think of the movie, don't tell mom the babysitters dead (loved that and adventures in babysitting), because the girls name was Sue Ellen and they called her Swell. (swell -sleep-well =swell.. you get it right)

Until next time keep on babbling my friends.

The Friendship Babble!

Isn't it funny how you can like someone and think they are awesome or whatever, but they don't like you at all.  Somehow that just seems odd to me. Especially if you are the nice one and they are not nearly as nice but some how think they are better than you. Anyway speaking of friends, I did get to hangout with an old and dear friend of mine I haven't seen in about 8 years ....but I'm dating myself lol dating myself I am not that desperate... Well not desperate at all actually I got a man (WHATS YOUR MAN GOT TO DO WITH ME?) lol still dating myself hehe
Not that I am old, I mean unless you are a teenager or younger no one would call me old. Wait... No never mind.

So anyway we had some fun, met his girlfriend, he met my boyfriend, we shared some laughs and on and on.  Laughs is this great comedy club too here and I have never been, I would like to go.

You know whats funny, your face, no not really.. but that when ever people are talking they will say something normal or applicable to the subject at hand and somehow it will trigger a song in my head. Like before here.  For instance you might say, "I was watching an old movie that made me think of Laura." and I will start singing, "Think of Laaaura" or you might say, "Dusting isn't that bad of a chore, it just takes some time..." and I will be singing, "It just take some time little girl your in the middle of the ride, everything everything will be alright alright" and so on :)

Is that weird, probably  not, but you know what is weird... "the comment question of the day!"  Okay if you are3 an =3 fan then you just laughed your ass off. If you have never heard of  =3 (equals three), then you need to go to youtube.com/raywilliamjohnson  because most of you will then in turn laugh your asses off . I am a big fan :)

Anyway speaking of big fans, the other day for whatever reason I thought it would be really cool to have... well you know those huge fans people put on their walls, like the asian fans or whatever they might actually be called. No offense if that might offend someone I dunno. But anyway I thought it would be cool to have on of the huge fans but really it would be like a set of dragon wings that just at first glance appear to be fans. Tell me if I am wrong but I love it. Thats right I said Loooooooooove it. (high pitched necessary ok)

So anyhow it is my day off... ooh now I wanna watch Ferris Beuller's Day of w00t looooooooove it! lol
Till next time keep on babbling folks :D

Do I talk too much? No, Just too fast!

So, today at work it was on and off, meaning slow then fast, but generally steady, do you remember when dating was called going steady?  Anyway at work during down time, I would talk to my neighbor and when I talk about something I know about I talk a lot and I talk fast. In fact I type how I talk, so you may get the idea. Well about 3 minutes into my splurge of word vomit, as Lindsey Lohan put it in mean girls, the guy gets this look on his face that tells me once again I am talking way to fast for this person.  So, I stop and ask, was I talking fast? Not just he, but about 5 people near us said, "Yes." really loud and I thought it was hilarious.

Anyhow speaking of Lindsey Lohan, I actually liked her in most of her movies, but the sad tale of yet another teen star gone wrong just doesn't interest me you know.  However it does remind me that in second grade I knew a girl named Lindsey Bible, which I later thought was funny because I then knew a girl named Ashley Bishop and some how that seemed coincidental to me and yet not.

Speaking of Ashley's though does anyone actually think it matters that Ashley Simpson lip synced that one time, because seriously they all do it for videos and such so really who gives a crud.

That reminds me that my years as a waitress have toned down my cussing. In fact I insinuate more cussing on this blog than I actually use in real  life.  I now use words like, fudgeroonie, fiddlesticks, shishkabob, and shitaki mushrooms, in lou of cursing. People tend to have differing opinions of these terms. But that reminds me when I was in foster care as a child one of my foster parents would tell me to say "mickey mouse" when I got hurt instead of using curse words.  That never really took. 


Speaking of foster care does anyone remember a movie called pinballs or something like that about a bunch of kids in foster care?  I seem to have a vague recollection of it but no one else seems to.  I am happy someone else finally remembered those old commercials though. Thanks for that.

Thank you to all of my new followers by the way, I will be viewing your blogs in turn quite soon but for some reason my computer isn't showing up my followers tonight.  Speaking of followers, I recall reading that someone didn't like them being called that but wanted them to be friends, I think that is a good idea though it doesn't really bother me.

Oh and tonight I started an online over an IM role playing game. Seems like it will be fun, and I will probably be letting you know about it quite soon. Whelp I am off to watch Pandorum, which reminds me of Pandora's box, which weirdly reminds me of Cleopatra and Pantera at the same time, which some how makes me think of Judy Garland who played Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz.  I loved that movie by the way.

Oh that's right I was heading off to watch the movie and catch some z's, speaking of which if any of you know where that term came from please do share. Thanks.

Until next time keep on surviving.
