It's a sad, sad day...

I just discovered that James "The Rev" Sullivan has passed away. He was the drummer for Avenged Sevenfold. I'm so sad for his family, his band members, and all of his fans. He will be missed.

My bad yo...

I know it's been a LONG time since I've blogged. My bad yo... I've been slackin. My last update was Thanksgiving. So here is what I can remember in chronological order.

November 27 was the 35th AMXS Holiday party. We had fun, there was a band. Sky had some drinks and I was his DD for the night. We didn't win anything unfortunately but it's cool, we still had some fun. Gian participated in a singing contest and won. It was pretty awesome. Gian and Michelle left pretty early so they didn't see the band. Sky and I decided to stay and we're pretty amused and shocked by some of the drunk people. So that was that.

On December 1 Sky left for Singapore for a TDY. He had a great time. He was pool or beach side practically the entire three weeks he was there. Color me jealous. I was up here freezing my arse off. lol I'm only slightly bitter, I promise. Anyway, while he was there he got his incentive flight and he had a blast. He also had some great food and some great memories. He only came back with a few battle wounds. He injured his foot a little surfing and he busted his nose doing a dive. While he was gone I just hung out with some friends and worked on school work.

Sky got back on the 19 of December and that is when my school break started. He got the week off from work as well so we really enjoyed our time off together. Before he left for Singapore we got really into "How I Met Your Mother." We had watched the first two seasons before he left and we rented the third when he got back and we couldn't find the fourth to rent... and that brings us to Christmas!

Christmas was fantastic! We got seasons 1-4 of "How I Met Your Mother" from Sky's parents. They also sent Sky the first two seasons of "Metalocalypse" and me the entire series of "My So-Called Life" (which I'm watching now actually :D). We also received their box of EPICNESS today that included Christmas peeps, pirate booty, Day of the Dead stuff, and my absolute favorite item EPIC lip balm. (Shown Below)


We had an excellent Christmas and I hope that everyone else had one as wonderful as ours. Following our opening of presents we had a pot luck with some friends in a rec room in the bottom of our neighboring tower. We had some good food and had a great time. My ham came out pretty good. I thought with all he stuff included in the recipe it would be a little different but it mostly tasted like ham. lol So we ate and hung out and played some Pictionary, which is always fun.

After a few people left a couple of other friends came by the house and hung out for a bit and then after one of them left (after a very amusing battle with the chain lock on our door) we and our other friend went out. We went to a hookah bar called Karma and shared a cherry and grenadine sheesha hookah. Then we went to the bar My Place where the guys sang some karaoke. We got home at around 3 where we talked to family and then finally went to bed.

Since then I've just been relaxing and not wanting to work on school. lol I'll probably start tomorrow. We're working with Access... ugh... Seriously. Anyway, I'm out of practice so my hands are starting to hurt. :p So here, enjoy pictures of my Christmas tree because I'm proud of myself!

"Woman... Stick figure!!!"

lulz. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope all yours was as great as mine was. We went over to Michelle's and there were nine people there (including Michelle and Gian and Sky and I). Everyone brought something and we all had good food and great fun. After a few people left the remaining of us (Sky, Kyle, Gian, Chris, Michelle, and me) played a very amusing game of pictionary. Sky and Kyle won. The title of this blog was one that Michelle guessed that I thought was hilarious. It was an all play and obviously the word was "Stick figure" and I couldn't believe she guessed it because anything involving people I drew stick figures. lol So that was pretty amusing. Some of those drawings were NSFW though. lol Point is we had a blast. All the food was delicious.


There is the turkey that Michelle and Gian made and to the left is the pasta salad I made. I got the recipe from a friend (thanks again, dude!) and it turned out well. I had to deviate a little but it tasted right to me. I also made my mom's gravy and that came out really well so I was excited about that.

Michelle and Gian also made the mashed potatoes. Chris made some really good mac and cheese. Dave and his wife Bhea made some awesome candid sweet potatoes. They also brought breads and apple pie. Kyle brought some really good pumpkin pie and Satoko, Michelle's friend, brought a squash turnover. It was all awesome.

Anyway, I just wanted to talk about that but I have to go now. I have a GIANT exam and tons of other things I need to get done so I probably won't be around for a couple of days.

Happy thanksgiving again everyone!

Jesus...

WTF? And homosexuals can't get married because god help us if they did it would make our straight people marriages less meaningful. Because you know, us heteros all have the most bestest reasons to get married and our love is stronger and more worthy of the rights to marriage then theirs.

Seriously though. I honestly do not get it. I don't see how people can think that the "sanctity of marriage" is more violated by two consenting adults who love each other than it is by two people who hate each other, or one person who deceived another, or those who have their "practice marriages" (which I've posted about before). It is beyond ridiculous. And the worst part of it is these people think that their opinions matter and that their beliefs should be the ones followed. Yet, do you know what sort of outrage it would cause if divorce, adultery, and birth control became issues we got to vote on? Those are all things that are in the bible (and yes some people do choose to follow those, but not most). A woman on OHO said it best, she said that people go on about how the bible is interpreted differently by everyone and that people follow their own beliefs on what it means to them but when it isn't their "sin" that is up for discussion it is about Christianity and not their interpretation of the bible. So thank you N.W.

Point is it shouldn't be your (general you) decision what two people do. It bugs me even more when the people who say they "don't care what 'they' do" still vote against it. Whatever happened to the "land of the free"? Or you know, separation of church and state? Grrrrr....

Anyway, I have to clean and do homework. I have two exams I need to study for.

Hey guys...

Sorry it's been a while. Been busy with school. Lots to do. IFSM and Social Psych are a lot more time consuming than I expected them to be. School is pretty much the only thing going on with me. Sky is leaving for a TDY soon so we decided to put up the Christmas tree mad early so he can get to enjoy it. Here's a picture of it.

What do you think? I should ask Michelle if I can post a picture of her tree when it's done because I have a feeling it's going to be gorgeous.

She and I have already decided that after Christmas when everything goes on sale we're buying a ton of stuff. They have these REALLY pretty ornaments at the BX but they're like $3 a piece. So when those babies go on sale, oh yeah, we're all over that. lol

But I do have to get back to school. I have tons to do and not much time. I'll try and post again soon.

Dude...

Cracked.com FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are easily offended and absolutely love Twilight you may not want to read this. There is strong language (but really, what is different about that than anything else I post). But even if you dig Twilight but you have a good sense of humor (and you probably do if you read my blog) then enjoy this.

I'm done with BIO finally. YAY! Haven't gotten my grades yet, hopefully I did well. I'll post grades when I get them. Tomorrow my Social Psych and IFSM classes start and I have my first exam in Japanese. Woo... lol I'm thinking about keeping my degree plan (major) but changing my career plan and instead of being a school counselor trying to be an animal behaviorist. But we shall see. I think I'll make an appointment with the academic adviser and discuss my options and all that.

But that's enough of that. This weekend we've been helping Michelle and Gian move. We got all their stuff over to the new house and the slept there last night. I'll probably go over and help Michelle unpack some tonight. Roxy is loving her new yard. :) So that's really all that's going on there.

Genesis' little sister has a name! Faith Naomi. :D

But those are all the things that's been going on right now. I shall post again later. And I'll post Christmas tree pictures when we get it up. Sky's going TDY so we're putting it up pretty early. But I have to wake him up and we have to run errands and I have to study for my exam. Wish me luck!

"This is Halloween, this is halloween...

Pumpkins scream in the dead of night!" Ok, so you get it. This blog is about Halloween. So we were planning on going out with Michelle and Gian and meeting up with some friends at the E-Club for this Halloween ball thing at night so we were going to hang out at home passing out candy until then. But things changed. Our car is in the shop and we really needed to go to the commissary so Michelle being super awesome said we could take her car and then come pick her up when she got off work. So we walked over and got her car and went shopping and then we were about to start getting ready to go get her when she called and asked if we wanted to go to Hachinohe to a restaurant that is similar to Viking (all you can eat; yakiniku, sushi, bread, gyoza, yakisoba... etc.) and since we didn't know how long we would be out Sky and I decided to go in costume. So we went and had an amazing dinner. Sky ate his weight in meat and sushi and (???) cotton candy. lol Anyway, so we ate dinner and then we went to Michelle's so she and Gian could get ready. Michelle was a pin up girl (and she looked SOOO cute!!) and Gian was a greaser. So after they got ready we went back by our house and Sky changed, he was going to be Tyler but he decided to be the Narrator instead. I gave him a really convincing black eye. I was so proud, everyone thought it was real! Anyway, after we all got ready we headed to the club.

It didn't end up being as cool as it could have been but there were some really great costumes. Some of my favorites were Edward Scissorhands, Dick in a box dude (who totally kept candy in his dickbox), MJ (who there is a picture of), Cruella DeVille, practically the entire cast of Alice in Wonderland, and the Wizard of Oz, Darth Vader and Leia, and V from V for Vendetta. But here, enjoy some photos.




I really wish we would have gotten more pictures of some of the really great costumes. I was so impressed.

Unfortunately we didn't get to see any trick or treaters because we were out all day so now we have like a ton of candy we don't know what to do with... Anyone want some Fun Dip? lol

Speaking of adorable little kids this is Genesis (Kimmie's daughter) at the pumpkin patch and in her costume. She is SOOOOOOOO CUTE!!


Anyway, I leave you now, I'm starving. Hope everyone had a great and safe Halloween!
