        I didn't get to sleep until seven this morning.  Woke up around one stayed up for a few hours watching Jeremy still play Oblivion.  Then fell back asleep until it was time for me to make dinner for everyone.  I had done the dishes and it was two sinks full of dishes that were not mine or my boyfriend's or his mom's dirty dishes.  They all belonged to the ignorant lazy couple that live across the hallway.  Quite irritating.  I had the sinks clean and empty when I went to bed.  When I wake at one I go in the kitchen to have both sinks full again by the same two people who don't know how to clean up after themselves.  Jeremy's brother even had the nerve to complain about a knife that he had left on the counter being on the counter for a while he says.  It was HIS knife.  Why couldn't he put it in the sink.  Don't mouth off under your breath about something you were too lazy to do yourself because I won't clean up everything after you.  I seriously can't stand him or his whore.  His girlfriend had no desire originally to be his girlfriend until her grandma said she had to get a job or move out.  So she is suddenly in love with him and it's only for free internet, cable, and room.  All she has to do is sleep with him.  That is the definition of a whore.

It's Jeremy's Oblivion character, Ayda.

        Okay, now that the ranting is out of my mind a bit, I really didn't do anything today.  I will get back to reading Oliver Twist after this post.  Maybe I'll try to stay up and finish it.  We are waiting on Agarest Wars Zero to come in tomorrow and our house is placed strangely on the street.  Last time we had a delivery the person just left it on top of the trash can.  We were lucky it didn't get stolen.  I need to get us a P.O. Box.

The area Jeremy cleared out of the garage. 

        While I played some Zelda: Link to the Past and Puyo Puyo, Jeremy was clearing out a section in the garage so we can move our totes of our stuff into the garage and out of the living room.  The garage is stacked with so much random trash.  It's just trash.  If you haven't bothered to take it out of the garage for four years+ and have no clue what is in there just let us throw it out.  It's not like we'd throw out pictures or family mementos.  We just want to get rid of all the useless junk you will never use for the rest of your life.  There are at least a hundred VHS tapes that no one will ever watch again.  What is the point in keeping them?  And it's not like they are movie VHS's they are recorded off of TV tapes.  Typically nothing important.  And oh my.  You should see the amount of cassette tapes they have.  I don't know anyone who listens to cassette tapes anymore.  And I haven't seen a cassette tape player anywhere in this house yet.  But whatever.  This house is full of nonsense and retardation.  I can barely stand it.  As soon as I get my car registered, which will hopefully be within the next two weeks, I am finding a regular job and moving out as soon as I am able.

        Okay, I can't think of anything else for today.  Just going to go and read a bit.  I'm actually feeling kind of wiped out.  Might just go to bed soon.  I'll end this on a more cute note.  Look it's our ratties.  One is standing and the other is climbing like a ninja.  So cute.

        I don't really remember when I woke up.  Jeremy played Oblivion for a good 90% of the day.  I still wasn't feeling all that great so we went to the grocery store down the street, because I wanted soup.  I got soup and milk.  I needed milk for my strawberry mix, it's the best.  I prepared taco stuff for everyone else for their dinner and I made myself two cans of chicken noodle.  Was very delicious too, the cats were going crazy for the leftover broth.

Hikage enjoying the broth.

Broth on Hikage's chin.

        After watching Jeremy play Oblivion for many hours I started to bore.  So I got back to reading Oliver Twist.  I had never read it as a child and have always wondered what it was about.  So far it seems to be the same type of rags to riches story I've read of Charles Dickens before.  Though maybe I'm remembering wrong and they were different authors but I'm almost sure of my memory on this.  When I was younger I had read tons of books, but they were all the abridged "Illustrated Classics".  So I've been wanting to reread a lot of the classics I had read years ago and read classics I haven't ever read.  This decision came about when a local bargain bookstore Jeremy frequented was closing shop.  They marked a lot of their books down to $2 a book.  So I bought two boxes worth of books, a lot of classics and some manga.

        I recently finished reading The Jungle by Upton Sinclair.  Now that was a depressing book.  It would start to be uplifting and then just drop again and again.  The poor guy never caught a break.  The version I had bought had left out the last paragraph as per Sinclair's wishes in the novel form, so the end-notes had stated and following the end-note had printed the actual last paragraph.  The book without the last paragraph made it a more uplifting hopeful book, with the actual ending paragraph made it feel like the guy should just give up on everything.

Spice drops, blue sharks, gummy bears, orange slices, sour gummy worms, gummy butterflies, gummy worms, Swedish fish, peach rings and sour patch kids.

        Okay, now that I've gotten that all out, after I read some and watched Jeremy play Oblivion some more, I had decided I wanted more gummies.  I finished a bag of gummy worms a week ago, thought I wouldn't want them for a while longer, but I really wanted gummies again.  So we went to Winco which has all sorts of gummies to scoop into bags.  And since we are not ones with self-control we went a little overboard.  Deliciously overboard.

        Being that he didn't eat much and I just had mostly broth soup and since I started to feel better we decided to go to Jack-in-the-Box.  I really prefer In-and-Out Burger's burgers, but the nearest one is an I-99 exit away.  So I'll settle for JITB.  So I gorged myself on delicious, horrible for me, fast foods.  I love that they have funnel cake there.  I always have to order one whenever I get food there.  It for some reason unbeknownst to me reminds me of my mom, and secondly, reminds me of the Jersey boardwalks so I like it.  My day isn't quite over yet but for the rest of it I intend to read some more Oliver and maybe play some SNES games on the Wii.  I'll end this with another cute picture of Sophie in his box.

Sophie standing against the cage.

        I woke up to awful country music blaring across the hallway.  My boyfriend's brother is a 32 year old lazy good for nothing bum.  I think he may have hearing loss as he always plays the tv and stereo loud enough for the entire household and neighborhood.  It's quite obnoxious.  I did fall back to sleep and woke up to my very own 'standing cat'.  Though he was leaning against the rat cage.  He's not as skilled as the French 'standing cat'.  Sophie loves watching the rats.  When we had the smaller cage he would try to sit on top of it and watch the rats but they would scare him away by nibbling at his feet.  Was always fun to watch him try to stay on top of the cage.

Molly

   I wasn't feeling so great so I spent a great deal of the day sleeping or trying to.  When I was awake I watched my boyfriend play Oblivion on his 360 and petted the cats.  I have three cats: a thirteen year old, black, short-haired male named Hikage; a two year old, black, short-haired male named Sophie; a three or four year old, fat, classic grey tabby named Molly.  They're all super friendly and adorable.

         I wanted to post this yesterday but the latest Windows Security Update was causing my laptop to blue-screen right after it fully booted up.  So I didn't feel up to messing around with it and just continued to watch Jeremy play Oblivion.  I eventual got to play Mario Bros. 3 and played some Sim City as well for a bit.   Molly kept trying to climb into Jeremy's shirt.  It was cute so I took a picture.  That's all for this post.
      
 

Molly being weird.

        A day we got to leave the house for a few hours.  I typically don't leave the house much at all, not that I don't want to leave the house but because my current mode of transportation is out of date.  I moved here, Modesto, Ca, a little over two months ago from Exton, PA.  My poor car's inspection expired last month and I'm having some issues with the DMV and getting my new license and my car registered.  So until I have the money to get that all figured out I'm primarily stuck in the house.  But we were able to borrow my boyfriend's mother's van for a few hours. 

New rat cage for Squeakers and Snaggletooth.

 

 

         We browsed around Gamestop for a bit, didn't purchase anything.  We had originally intended to just go to PetCo but got sidetracked.  Then we went to PetCo for a bigger rat cage, we have two rats both are pretty large, we agree that they look around two years of age.  Both are female.  One is named Squeakers and the other is Snaggletooth, beacuase her teeth were really long when we bought her.  So we bought a new rat cage it's 32in. high and has three levels to replace our 14in. high small rat cage.  We're planning to buy a wheel for them too.  Hopefully they like it.  ^.^  

 

 

        Being that we rarely get out of the house for long periods of time, I didn't want to go home after we acquired what we set out to get, I talked my boyfriend into going to the mall to wander FYE and to buy more purple hair dye from Hot Topic.  They didn't have my preferred Raw brand Deep Purple, so unfortunately I have to try Manic Panic Violet..  When I first started dying my hair colorfully I tried Manic and they failed miserably.  So I was only using Special Effects brand until Hot Topic stopped carrying it...  Lame...  

 

 

        Since I had accidentally forgotten my phone in my friend's car in Pennsylvania when I visited my family and friends for a week in June, I needed a new cell charm.  I miss my Gokuh one a lot.  But I guess I'll have to wait till I visit again to get it back.  So I went to the Sanrio store in the mall and got a cute turtle charm.

 

 

        All I have left to say is during my second trip to the mall I finally noticed that the mall here has real palm trees inside it.  Being from Pennsylvania, I never saw real palm trees anywhere.  But they're sporadically placed around the town/city and all over the inside of the mall.  Which is neat.
