Lets call this one Karma ;)

I'm pretty sure no one reads this anyway, and since its-again- MY blog im going to vent.

Urban Dictionary describes 'Karma' as a Smackdown of the Gods. I have to fully agree, this is my favorite definition for the word.

Its been a rough few months and especially this past week but in the end, justice is -somewhat- served.

A few months ago my 'Sister-in-law' left my mothers house completely in disarray leaving my mother with an insane amount of work to do on the house, they are still treating the house for cockroaches and fleas, then after that's finally done-whenever that will be- she'll have to spend several more months just fixing the place.

This past week i woke up to my son panicking because my Mother-in-law was having such a bad asthma attack that i needed to call an ambulance for her. 

That same day my husbands close friend was in a car accident where he flipped and totaled his car landing himself in the hospital.
A few days later, after my MIL was still in the hospital and the friend had been staying with us so we could 'help' take care of him, my husband goes to the Drs. because of his back problems.

*Little bit of back story: Jeremy had a herniated disk and went in for surgery 3 years ago, found out it was more of an exploded disk and it was 3 not just 1 that ended up being Removed. He's still having serious problems.

The doctor is concerned about the fact that he's gained more weight then should normally be gained after having the surgery and thinks its due to a heart condition, though we wont know anything until after he goes for lab work on Monday. He has to go through Physical Therapy and Pain Management (where he'll have to endure a steroid injection into the spine).

But the justice that was served (slightly) was when i received a phone call stating that ONE of the people who wrecked my mothers house was Arrested. *sigh of relief* Now I'm not usually one who would be happy about such things BUT my sister in law has a way of ruining.....everything and never having to pay the consequences. I thought for sure they would walk away from this unscathed. But they didn't, or at least her husband didn't. Yes, as far as i know he is out of jail now, BUT the fact that he went makes me feel like SOMETHING was done right. at least its a start.
People shouldn't be able to get away with trashing someone else's house.  Or the millions of other wrongs they have done and gotten away with. So, as someone who has had Karma bitchslap them time and time again, I can say that Karma is most definitely a bitch, but she sure is a pretty one. ;D

Concert Adventure.

Candice and I before the show.

My friend Candice and I went to the Framing Hanley concert last night at Headliners. The Venue was horrible un-air conditioned and i could have lived without a few of the bands i saw last night, but all in all it was an amazing night. I mean, who doesn't love standing in a heated room for 5 hours listening to rock-scream? Well, me, actually. I'm not a fan of the 'rock-scream'(you know, where they just scream hoarsely into the mic and you cant understand what they're trying to say?) or extreme temperatures. BUT it was worth standing in the sweltering heat and being compacted next to gross sweaty bodies.Luckily i remembered to pile on the Deodorant before leaving for the show!

We met some new people- A Kristina, a 14 year old chick who was pretty awesome, she even shares my same dorky love for Degrassi, and her 'bodyguard' for the night, i believe his name was Mike?

We got introduced to new bands such as, Harrowsfield, and there was a band i cant seem to figure out what the name is...weep the belldamn? or something like that. I wish i knew, they were good. And we were lucky enough to see Transmit Now who I had heard a lot of great things about.They were Awesome! Highly recommend their stuff!

Awesome guy from Transmit Now!

 AND I got a guitar pic thrown at me by Brandon from Framing Hanley. Apparently it pays off to get caught taking pictures of him during the show! As I'm taking the picture of him, he chucked the pick straight at me and whacked me right in the stomach...it was AWESOME!

Until i realized i couldn't find it in the dark. So we waited, then he threw another pick into the crowd (in our vicinity) which made everyone start searching (freaking me out because i didn't want them to find *my* pick.)

I took a picture trying to use the light to find the pick.;P

The 14 yo found it though so when the lights came on and everyone was leaving i was able to say, "Oh yeah, that pick? It was already found.' leaving me ample opportunity to grab *my* pick. It's now hanging on the cork board in my room. Granted, i know its just a pick, and its not the coolest thing in the world, but its pretty damn cool to me.

Nixon from Framing Hanley.

 Later, some Drunkasorous Rex sloshed her fruity alcoholic drink on my head and face, which, in the heat felt nice but was still annoying. I mean, who really wants booze in the face? Luckily her friend took note of my stink eye(or maybe it was because of the guy behind me who yelled at her?) and grabbed her drink from her.

People: if your going to get trashed at a concert, do not go crazy and try to 'rock out' by throwing your hands (and drink) in the air. It makes for very angry neighbors.

And while i don't really see the point in 'moshing' it was fun to watch. And also, the guy behind us(who started out in front of us, he was one of the people we befriended, Mike?) stood in our path so we didn't get mauled by the Moshers. What a gentleman!

After the show my bed decided to nag me till i finally caved and went to sleep, it took the whole next day of recovering for my ears to stop ringing. ;D 

Us after, or, during the show?!

Random boring update.

I don't have much to report. a few minor things: My son will be starting school September 1st. Which is scary, exciting and tear-jerking all at the same time.
My laptop charger broke which was the only thing keeping the poor guy alive. A new battery (which broke in April) is over $170, and a new charger is roughly around $70. either way, its too much for a luxury item right now. So I'm forced to use the main computer which is located in the bedroom. This means that the only time I'm able to use a computer other then checking updates on my phone, i use it at night. and by then I'm too tired to write. Which is depressing.

I recently started re-reading Chapter 1 of my 'baby'. so far I've written about 6 chapters total in that one. but reading it made me really want to get back into writing it. So i might have to suck it up and pull a few late/all nighters just to get in some good writing time.

Hmm...i have a concert to go to next weekend to see a band that has been a huge help with the writing process. Framing Hanley...If you haven't yet listened to this band, i suggest you 'YouTube' them after reading this post. Songs they're popular for...most recently on their new album 'A Promise to Burn'- 'You Stupid Girl', 'Photographs and Gasoline'. From their earlier Album 'The Moment'-'Hear Me Now', and a lil Wayne cover of 'Lollipop'. However, i personally suggest listening to both entire albums. Ok, so enough of me promoting lol. The concert should be a blast since the last time my friend and i tried to see them we made it as they were playing their last song :( luckily they stayed behind and did a signing! So, i suppose I'll throw in some pics from the show next weekend.
Alright, well I'm done rambling on now. Later Blogspotters. ;)

Insane Venting

I've had one hell of a week and since this is MY blog I'm going to talk about my shit week here.

First, about a year ago? ish...I went up north to a baby shower for family and visited with my great grandma. On the way back down we (my mother, my cousin Jacob and myself) gave a ride to a cousin of mine back down to her place only an hour from where i live. (we were in Luther MI which is 5 hours from Toledo -where i live) Ana, was my cousins name. A few weeks after that she emailed me telling me that she thought i seemed like a cool person and wanted to hang out again sometime. Well, Ana seemed like a big party girl to me. I have two small children so i figured it'd be best not to respond right away because I'm not a party person. A while later i got another email saying pretty much the same thing and that she wanted to hang out sometime. Again i didn't respond. A week or so ago i started thinking about it and had the urge to write back, because its unlike me to be mean like that. and to be completely honest i did like her, i thought she was a nice person. i may not like the 'partying' but shes family...still i just didn't write back.

Ana Died last week.

I may not have been close to her, but damn do i feel the pain of her death. And the guilt. I know people may get angry with me for posting her cause of death but again, this is MY blog... Ana died of an accidental overdose. She had just turned 21.
So, I went to the showing. i couldn't bring my self to go up to the casket. I'm deathly afraid of all things 'ghostly' and/or 'dead people'. I have respect for the dead, but it scares the bajezus out of me. So, i didn't go up. As i was sitting outside with my 90 year old great grandmother, some creaper came up and hit on me...IN FRONT OF MY G-MA AT A FUNERAL HOME! WTF!?
THEN... as everyone is leaving the funeral home for the night Ana's best friend walks straight up to me (i had never met her before) and says, 'You look so much like her it's killin me. Its your eyes, they're just like Ana's.' AGAIN I SAY, WTF!? Not something you want to hear.
The funeral itself was absolutely insane. They dug the grave in front of us, lowered her into the ground and filled it-in front of us-. Which from my understanding is very unusual. Her grandfather weeped insanely and tried to throw himself into the grave. Her brother...was devastated. It was absolutely heartbreaking.

On to another day, I got into an argument with another cousin over...nothing. It was stupid and i hate it. I hate fighting with people. Its pointless. Enough said about that.

And then that brings me to today. This requires back story...can you see the big dream bubble form? Imagine it, its big...SO i have a sister in law. My sister-in-law, We'll call her SIL for short, rented my childhood home from my mother. Which BTW i said was a HORRIBLE idea. just sayin...anyway, My MIL(mother in law) payed her rent for a year as well as her bills. once that year was up, she stopped paying it. SO the SIL couldn't afford the place because she refused to get a job. So my mom evicted her. She had well over 90 days to get her stuff and move out. She waited until the very last day (which was last night) and left. my mother went into the house this morning to find it INFESTED with roaches. like, Joe's friggin appartment infested. There's a hole in the kitchen wall, Front door and back door are broken. Garage man door and overhead door are broken. Hamster bedding and feces and urine dumped in the middle of the bedroom floor. (their water got shut off in may, where did they potty you night ask....EVERYWHERE!) There was dog poo all over the floors, garbage all over the floors, Garbage stuffed into the basement sink with moldy dog poo on top. The carpet was shredded, the padding underneath the carpet was shredded. CRACK PIPES-that's right, plural- and NEEDLES! Wow, what a great SIL i have. I am humiliated. I am Furious. And i can say that i believe i will never forgive her for doing this. What a fucking week, eh? And of course, she fled town as far as we know, So...I'm to the point of being unable to figure out my emotions. I'm numb right now. How can someone live like that? How can someone be THAT disgusting? Its unbelievable.

Well, there ya have it. That's my venting rampage for the evening.

More Ramblings

Hola!
I figured every so often i should come by this page and write something...most days i have nothing interesting to say which is why i neglect my mindless scribblings so much. And today is no different. I have nothing interesting to report really so ill just babble a bit.

Oli and Ani have finally slept together, No, i will not be posting that specific scene just yet because its not the final draft. Ive done a lot of mucking up when it comes to this story because it IS the rough draft and your first draft cant be perfect...which it's taken me a long time to understand that but I'm not attempting to deal with it.

I recently went to see Eclipse. I was one f the Twerds in line at 6pm waiting for the midnight showing on the 29th. And i loved every minute of it and plan to do it again for both parts of Breaking Dawn. The movie itself was amazing. Unlike the Twilight movie, New Moon AND Eclipse blew me away. I'm not the biggest Kstew fan because i think her acting is a bit shoddy but i have to say she is beginning to step it up and is starting to compliment the other actors in the films now. So, Kudos Kstew.

In other news, I haven't read since the first week of May so that i wouldn't be distracted during the writing process. Since i stopped reading i have started and almost finished a story...but lately my mind is getting muddled and I'm having a hard time writing...its not writers block...its the fact that i have the attention span of a flea. So I'm considering picking up a book...or maybe just an Ebook. I've been dying to get my hands on more of Author Stacey Espino's work. Her Fearless Desires book was such an amazing book that i cant wait to read more of her work...which she has recently come out with a new release called 'Saving Grace'. I hear its been #1 on Bookstrand for awhile...Cant wait to read it. SO if your in the ebook world, check her out. You wont be disappointed I promise!

I have also just discovered that there is rumors of Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy series being Optioned for film!!! Which is huge for me...its as big for me as Twilight. Which is...well, Huge for personal reasons. So Yay to Richelle!

Alright, nothing else to ramble about at the moment. I'm going to get back to my scribbling. Later Blogspotters. :)

Ramblings

I was going strong with writing. I had written over 19k words in just a few weeks for the Oli and Ani story. I had been working on a story for over a year and only gotten 15k done in that tie period. Which is sad because its an amazing story...in my head at least. A while ago i read a book called 'Book in a Month' by Victoria Lynn Schmidt, it says that while writing your first rough draft to just Write...and not worry about mistakes or it not being in-depth enough. I, for some reason, couldn't seem to take that advise on my Jinx story. But its working for Oli and Ani. I know that ill need to go back through and re-write and lengthen a lot of it, but right now its just about getting it out of my head and on to paper. i can perfect it later. So, why couldn't i do it for my other book? Maybe i can...who knows. but I'm pretty sure that after Oli and Ani I'm going to start a different project...I have a few stories that have been nagging at me that I'm really excited about!
