It seems an age ago that the sun shone brightly and everything was green and alive. Now it is just cold and dead. It drags on and on and on. One more month til spring. Must keep going. I can do it. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:purplemoonstar:281411 2009-02-08T14:56:52Z 2009-02-08T14:56:52Z well I got 500 dollars in the second stimulus check thingie. The government owes me after what they put me through to work with them. I am still trying to decide what to do with it. <br />Job hunting in this economy is depressing..<br />However the 500 dollars cheered me up.<br /><br />I am hoping the library at least gives me an interview. I could see doing that for a couple years then maybe I will go to library school (grad program) with all the other bookish nerds and spent my life in quiet solitude with the occasional idiot that needs help finding a book. Books cant violate the ADA. Which suits me just fine. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:purplemoonstar:280772 2009-01-30T23:16:09Z 2009-01-30T23:16:09Z The dr has told me I have seasonal affective disorder. I am feeling it. I cant even begin to say how much I hate winter. I never ever got depressed in Africa but here in the US the never ending winter drags on and on. I got put on some new drugs but what I really crave is nice hot weather with blue skies and margertitias and a good book. Not this crappy ice storm shit that been going on. I am so tempted to go to a tanning bed just for some UV rays. April can not get here fast enough. I need to move to the tropics then I wont be sitting in some therapist office saying nothing is <i>wrong</i> per se I am just having UV withdrawals. They are predicting another storm. God help me. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:purplemoonstar:279660 2009-01-16T01:05:36Z 2009-01-16T01:05:36Z tweets<br /><br /><ul class="loudtwitter"><br /> <li>Tweets for Today: tweetsTweets for Today: tweetsTweets for Today: tweets Tweets for Today: tweets Tweets for Tod.. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/8skwmq">tinyurl.com/8skwmq</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/purplemoonstar/statuses/1119852146">#</a></li><br /></ul>Automatically shipped by <a href="http://www.loudtwitter.com">LoudTwitter</a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:purplemoonstar:279379 2009-01-15T01:05:33Z 2009-01-15T01:05:33Z tweets<br /><br /><ul class="loudtwitter"><li>Tweets for Today: tweetsTweets for Today: tweets Tweets for Today: tweets Tweets for Today: tweets: I was thinki.. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/a4x6qq">tinyurl.com/a4x6qq</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/purplemoonstar/statuses/1117162241">#</a></li> <li>The Book Thief: <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The Book Thief ISBN: 0375842209ISBN-13: 9780375842207<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I was surprised that this is act.. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/94hrtz">tinyurl.com/94hrtz</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/purplemoonstar/statuses/1118198796">#</a></li></ul>Automatically shipped by <a href="http://www.loudtwitter.com">LoudTwitter</a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:purplemoonstar:279234 2009-01-14T01:05:50Z 2009-01-14T01:05:50Z tweets<br /><br /><ul class="loudtwitter"><li>Tweets for Today: tweets Tweets for Today: tweets Tweets for Today: tweets: I was thinking about resolutions but.. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/7j89hc">tinyurl.com/7j89hc</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/purplemoonstar/statuses/1114553571">#</a></li> <li>i am chaining myself to the desk until I get caught up on my book reviews. <a href="http://twitter.com/purplemoonstar/statuses/1115523178">#</a></li> <li>Hiss and Tell: <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Hiss and Tell: True Stories from the Files of a Cat Shrink ISBN: 0140298533ISBN-13: 97801402.. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/9y2bju">tinyurl.com/9y2bju</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/purplemoonstar/statuses/1115575122">#</a></li></ul>Automatically shipped by <a href="http://www.loudtwitter.com">LoudTwitter</a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:purplemoonstar:279038 2009-01-13T01:05:08Z 2009-01-13T01:05:08Z tweets<br /><br /><ul class="loudtwitter"><br /> <li>Tweets for Today: tweets Tweets for Today: tweets: I was thinking about resolutions but I havnt really made any... <a href="http://tinyurl.com/9uhskw">tinyurl.com/9uhskw</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/purplemoonstar/statuses/1112046765">#</a></li><br /></ul>Automatically shipped by <a href="http://www.loudtwitter.com">LoudTwitter</a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:purplemoonstar:278602 2009-01-12T01:04:42Z 2009-01-12T01:04:42Z tweets<br /><br /><ul class="loudtwitter"><br /> <li>Tweets for Today: tweets: I was thinking about resolutions but I havnt really made any.

There is one thing that I am going to try to do though and that is keep up with friends. Including all my internet friends too. My in real life friends complain that although I have facebook I never really do anything to keep in touch. Which is true. Very sad but true. So this is the year I make a concentrated effort to rekindle old and new friendships. And to jump on the bandwagon, I too will be keeping this livejournal until there is no more LiveJournal. I am nothing if not loyal. I will hold on until the very last second and then only then will I move. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:purplemoonstar:277483 2008-12-26T00:44:09Z 2008-12-26T00:44:09Z I had a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit this year so to do my best not to win this year humbug award I forced Garfield to have a little Christmas cheer.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/purplemoonmyst/3136934200/" title="Christmas Garfield by purplemoonmyst, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3295/3136934200_4ee7c7673d_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Christmas Garfield" /></a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:purplemoonstar:277235 2008-12-22T14:19:39Z 2008-12-22T14:19:39Z <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/purplemoonmyst/3127516167/" title="2008-12-22_0912 by purplemoonmyst, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3249/3127516167_e5162be295_o.png" width="1280" height="567" alt="2008-12-22_0912" /></a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:purplemoonstar:276928 2008-12-14T16:00:19Z 2008-12-14T16:00:19Z <p><img src="http://bluepyramid.org/ia/littocggm.jpg"><br><br /><font face="Georgia, Georgia Ref, Book Antiqua, Garamond" size="5"><br />You're <i>Love in the Time of Cholera</i>!<br><br /><font size="4">by Gabriel Garcia Marquez</font><br><br /><i><font size="3">Like Odysseus in a work of Homer, you demonstrate undying loyalty by<br />sleeping with as many people as you possibly can.

Other the other hand I discovered a coffee shop! Anyone that knows me knows I love coffee. I rarely like bars but show me a good coffee shop with wifi and I am there. I like to think that coffee shop is liberal haven from the neocons Ky is so famous for. I even saw a go Obama sticker. The other two customers even looked liberal. I may be imagining things but it is a nice delusion. I drank massive amounts of caffine to try and cheer myself up. it worked somewhat. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:purplemoonstar:275394 2008-11-06T17:06:21Z 2008-11-06T17:06:21Z After three months of being world of warcraft free I succumbed yesterday and started playing again. That game is addictive. Plus with Wrath of the Lich king coming out on the 13th there are all new content and levels to look forward to.

After all the Republicans finally picked someone who has their head where a head should be. The he picked Palin who even on the massive does of meds i am on still ignites that old fury that was my contestant companion for so long. Yes she is bad for ones mental health. As I have to listen to her and her supporters all around me I find my self popping klonopin and wonder how people can be so..dumb.. there I am being nice<br />I know I am an ultra Liberal, I am so liberal that I had issues with Clinton. Obama though I love to death. Still even he cant save me from the hum drum of how Palin has values. Well yeah and she is entitled to them but the USA is my country too. If you dont want an abortion, dont want hedonistic principles the by all means cluster yourselves into your religious communities but for the love of all things holy let me live my hippie life in peace. You know i bet if Jesus was alive today he pick Obama. He was a lover of peace not making a poor raped woman pay for her rape exam.<br />I too consider myself a christian and I hate Palin hate hate hate I dont know what bible she read but it is not the one I know and love. I realize that my hate is very un-christ like but hey I am on the same road to redemption as you.<br />And now I must go take another klonopin.. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:purplemoonstar:274032 2008-10-12T22:03:05Z 2008-10-12T22:03:05Z I tried to give up or rather cut back of caffeine these past two weeks. I failed. Or not really failed but rather I am convinced caffeine is brain food. When I am highly caffeinated my brain works. When I write the words flow effortlessly onto the page. I even read better. When I am un-caffeinated my brain refuses to pick out the words and moves slowly and laboriously from one word to the next. I hate it. So I am sticking with the notion that caffeine is actually good for you and consuming obscene amounts and speed reading and writing my way through life. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:purplemoonstar:273795 2008-10-11T22:58:02Z 2008-10-11T22:58:02Z As soon as I saw her I should have run in the other direction. I went to get my eyebrows done and normally i get the nice sweet woman that knows the meaning of mercy. Not today, today my luck ran out. My regular technician was out so they showed me to this big muscular woman that looked as if she went to boot camp and passed. Welll thought I as long as my eyebrows look good who cares who does them? <br />At first she was nice, but that was to make her method of waxing all the more painful. When someone is nice you are not braced against pain. I am not sure how it is done normally to cut down on pain but this dudette put on the wax and RIPPED the damn thing off like she was teaching me how to toughen up. No ok now this will hurt a bit and easing it off. No she ripped it so hard I was certain I had no more eyebrow left or skin for that matter. After uttering a damn it woman she peered at me and goes "that did not hurt" umm yes it did. The sad part is we still had one more eyebrow to do so I toughened up and RIPPPP.<br />"Damn woman, where you receive your training at?" I inquired. Giving me a look of disdain she proceeded to even make plucking the rest painful. Cursing under my breath and vowing revenge in the form of no tip for her, see I can inflict pain too,bitch economic pain, I gave her my best you suck at this stare. I dont think I scared her at all tough. In the end I even gave her a tip. I am a coward. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:purplemoonstar:273501 2008-10-06T13:44:49Z 2008-10-06T13:44:49Z I don't know why every time I start a new diet and actually follow it I have these wired dreams that I am eating everything in sight. Like last night, I dreamed that I was eating a pizza hut pizza and a dairy queen blizzard. I woke up in a tizzy because well that like enough points for 3 days. While i was frantically attempting to figure out a way to control the damage, I realized it was just a dream. I actually followed the plan for yesterday. I do wish these dreams would stop, they are unnerving. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:purplemoonstar:273380 2008-10-02T16:31:41Z 2008-10-02T16:31:41Z Have I mentioned how much I hate the fall and winter?
