• 06:12 The only way I am functioning without tears at work these days is with rage. A face of anger and hate to cover the hurt beneath. #
• 07:07 Gym for second time today again. I don't feel like I'm losing weight but I have more energy during the days now, so that's a start right? #
• 07:18 @DanielleMasucci thanks. I'm watching my friend lose a ton of weight and not seeing any change on MY scale and it's discouraging a bit. #
• 07:29 @DanielleMasucci haven't had much for grocery money in a while. Gonna try some after Thxgiving when I'm properly loaded lol #
• 08:12 Almost two hours of gym today combined. Sticking with almost entirely cardio for a while til my body is used to moving like this regularly. #
• 10:01 It took me a year and a half since the last time she got it cut to get her butt here. Sherry getting long layers. yfrog.com/3n72xj #
• 11:50 First Christmas card of the year has arrived. #
• 12:28 Ha kharma is a bitch to all the fool men in my life. They're all getting what they worked sooo hard to earn and that makes the rage go away. #
• 13:55 @magicalstephie i've always been told that after nov 15 is fair game for Christmas cards because everyone wants to be the first one you get #
• 13:56 @magicalstephie if you need to cancel Sundays plans just lmk (hugs) #
• 13:56 @nowaglas what's that about? #
• 19:51 I hate when I have shit that needs to get done in a day and I'm so tired when the alarm goes off I convince myself to sleep instead :( #

• 04:59 @bjsebeck I'll do it #
• 07:37 "Wal-Mart Black Friday ad: TVs top deals" - bit.ly/32tEX1 #
• 07:40 @magicalstephie ok I'm a Pisces too... Doesn't this totally sound like our current email discussion? Weird!! #
• 07:52 Just had my meeting @ DHS. Will hear by Tues or Weds. Gotta contact Health Dept for part 2, ugh, so much beaurocracy! ... #
• 07:54 ... We need 1 place that does it all instead of making appts with 5 million businesses/agencies just to get 1 thing accomplished "properly". #
• 08:20 @magicalstephie take one anyway! Maybe it'll give you good karma and you WILL need it!! ;) #
• 08:23 @yarrrdichoke I have two phone numbers for you in my phone bc I FAIL. What's the right area code? #
• 14:50 Need more ppl in my phone. Was in the mood 2 talk 2 someone yesterday & the only people available 2 talk were mom @ work & Unreliable Mike. #
• 14:51 So give me your phone number! And bonus points if you tell me I can text you! #
• 18:01 @sarahheppell are you serious? Or is that sarcasm? Lol can't tell #
• 18:02 So tired today. Tomorrow morning I will have to make up for today's "can't get out of bed" laziness. #
• 18:03 Yay phone numbers and texting peoples! Keep 'em coming! And text me if you'd like! #
• 18:05 @sarahheppell oh okay. I was gonna say what hole in the wall do you live in that you haven't heard about New Moon lol #
• 19:39 Letter from Emmi a couple days ago. Letter from Hanna today. #
• 21:33 @nkdrenni :( #
• 21:34 @phil8402 enjoy the madness! The best part: it'll be the quickest shift you've ever worked. #

• 00:53 Proud of myself. Got a 35 min workout in during my lunch break. #
• 06:04 Gonna go to the gym again with Sherry before sleeping finally. At least I'll sleep well!! #
• 08:13 Worked out 2x in 8 hours. Butt hurts, body exhausted. But mentally I feel great. Who needs men!!! #
• 18:58 Talking with Ken and realizing how oblivious I was in high school. #
• 19:11 I hate when Tweetie misses several hours of tweets. It gave me tweets from 10hrs ago then skipped to 4hrs ago. #
• 19:37 @haphazardry decided I disliked tweetie less. Plus echofon used to do the same thing #
• 19:55 Just got royally peeved at M. I'm not having a cry for fucking help. Back off and let me process alone. #
• 21:42 @nowaglas GOOD! You should! #
• 21:45 RT @Shoq: The super rich would be thrilled if we wasted 3 yrs speculating about Sarah Palin. It's time we stop playing this f-ing game. #

• 22:58 Is there such a thing as adult onset ADD or something? I cannot focus on anything for more than a few minutes & it's getting worse & worse. #
• 23:15 You can now tag people with an @ on facebook. :P #
• 23:16 I'm now, after some Internet research, convinced a discussion with my doctor is not a terrible idea. #
• 00:56 Outgoing SUPER late letter to Tae. #
• 02:36 Found a dark spot and watched the Leonids for a while. #
• 06:58 lately i get a sick sense of pleasure in saying things to C that i know will hurt a bit. i'm terrible. #
• 08:17 I HATE MY COWORKERS #
• 08:38 I can't stop crying. #
• 10:01 @heimdallshorn what for? #
• 10:02 @magicalstephie dramas? #

• 23:16 @magicalstephie Wally has smaller. You didn't find any? #
• 07:14 I just totally missed a step and fell on my face trying to go from upstairs to downstairs in Cyberia. D'oh! #
• 07:30 Just started watching the pilot episode of 'V' and there's already Inara and Wash from 'Firefly'! Woo hoo!! #
• 07:46 We are of peace. Always. ?? Weird. #
• 08:24 I wonder if Steve @ Cyberia gets tired of me spending hours here on the same cup of coffee lol #
• 08:24 @magicalstephie that jerk! Lol #
• 09:31 Watched the pilot for 'V'. Wow it looks really fascinating! #
• 10:40 Received a #postcrossing postcard from U.S.A. - bit.ly/14N6Ty #
• 11:29 I liked this. RT: People will judge you by your actions, not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold - but so does a hard-boiled egg. #
• 18:55 Cyberia #
• 19:07 @haphazardry odd question... And I can't find reference to an MRF anywhere so I can't answer it :( #
• 19:43 I think I need to make a January trip to Madison (to see RENT on tour)... #
• 20:16 @haphazardry I dunno what that is #
• 21:00 @haphazardry I have a feeling this will sell out though so I'd be screwed if I did that wouldn't I? #
• 21:40 Watched 2nd ep of 'V'. I like it.. I dunno, it seems too much too fast. Too many characters to follow & conspiracies 4 the second ep only! #
• 22:01 Back home only bc Cyberia closed. Watching Twilight. Wish I had late nighter friends in the area, company would be fun right now. #

• 22:57 At the Ramada with Jessie and all her stuffy friends lol #
• 23:53 Tonight reminds me why I prefer a hole in the wall or biker type bar to one aimed at a younger crowd. Too much noise, too many people. #
• 23:57 I don't like the feeling that those places make me feel and I don't mean the clastrophobia. #
• 00:46 @kurtdavies lol! I vote Clamdigger!! #
• 02:24 Brr. It feels as though our Indian Summer is at an end. #
• 06:16 Aw horseshit. Cyberia closed til 9 on weekends. I was ready to go there NOW. Now what?? #
• 06:50 @magicalstephie no one around my apartment has an open signal so I can only "steal" if I sit in my car and do it and I'm not in the mood lol #
• 07:24 I hate that you always have an excuse. #
• 07:26 I hate that you think "I'm sorry" & "I miss you" are automatic ass-savers, & that you are genuinely shocked when I say you overuse them. #
• 07:56 I hate that you don't take me seriously. #
• 07:57 Ok NOW it's time for coffee and NaNoing. Two hours later. Grr. #
• 11:31 I haven't been this rage filled since I was dating Paul. Toward the end there where it was really bad. That should be a sign. #
• 18:42 Well THAT was incredibly depressing. #
• 18:47 @smilinstanlee what happened to being a Brigade? #

• 05:17 @mdnytecartunr did it release today? Because it's out at our Walmart already... #
• 11:26 Tea room with a pen and notebook. Today is the attempt to catch up on NaNo. #
• 11:29 Personal trainer meeting Tuesday. DHS meeting Thursday. #
• 11:41 Rainy Saturday plus Red Hat meeting equals busy day in the tea world. I'm so used to being the only one here... This is nice. #
• 12:14 @smegatron fake gunshot holes #
• 12:42 Four handwritten pages for my NaNo novel since I got here. Why is composing with pen and paper always so much more effective for me? #
• 13:10 Usually when u see men here it's bc they were dragged in by their gfs. 2 middle-aged men that just came in together? Totally have to be gay. #
• 14:42 Hairdresser is having makeup event this evening. I forget if it's at 6 or 7. Tried calling salon and no one answered. Don't know her cell :( #

• 15:09 I'm making this Asian dish in my crock pot. It's got steak & pork both in it, along w/ a ton of veggies & spices. The aptmnt smells amazing! #

• 17:01 For about 6 months there I felt desired and that was sooo nice. #
• 18:01 @magicalstephie yes but difference between fleeting desire versus a long term daily interest I guess? #

• 18:49 Wow I have well-developed characters, now. #
• 20:49 Anxious to write more but my brain isn't focussing on it. #

Craig and mom both have very serious cases of H1N1. Mom hit a 103 fever last night and almost ended up hospitalized.

I'm worried for both of them and scared for myself. Mom and I both have asthma and mine is degrees worse than hers... And she sounds terrible, which makes me scared how it would affect me if I catch it.

And so many people go to work sick with it at Walmart, that it seems less likely "if" and more likely "when".

Deana you had a good idea asking people for opinions so I hope you don't mind my doing the same...

---------------

What is your favorite horror and/or suspense book (or movie, if you don't have a book, but book is preferred)?

What about it makes it your favorite?

As an adult, who do you consider "bullies" in the real world? The bullying doesn't end when school ends, they just appear in alternate forms. What ones can you think of?

If you had the power to do anything you wanted TO one of those adult-type bullies, without anyone ever pointing the blame on you, what would you do (if anything)?

Have you ever wished on a star or made a hasty prayer when upset wishing for someone else to be hurt/humiliated/etc.? Did you regret it later even if it didn't come true?

What steps would you take if you found out you were haunted? Seiance (sp?)? Priest? Other method?

More questions coming soon.
Everyone please answer anonymously if at all possible!
Thanks so much!
