He's Just... Patrick.

Hullo LJ!

It's football season and my friends and I are a part of the 49er faithful, enjoying the living CRAP out of Mike Singletary's 49er team of 2009. We've started telling myths and legends around the pizza table on Sundays about Singletary and his use of football pads to keep his team *cough* Vernon Davis *cough* in line and I just wanted a place to write them down, collect them, so we can put out the word of his great and legendary story.

So here some of them are... (these are just from this morning, after it was announced that Crabtree stopped being a douchey tool)

@sprqman Oh great, considering all the training camp he missed he might be ready in week 17. Singletary better strap on the pads....

@shelbster I bet Singletary had the pads ready in case he signed with the 9ers & once The Whiner suits up, it's pain time!

@sprqman I bet he sleeps with his pads under his bed in case Crabtree comes in crying about having a nightmare

@shelbster Haha, I bet he sleeps with his pads on hoping someone breaks in and brings a knife to a singletary-in-pads fight. Poor Crabtree.

@sprqman Mike Singletary doesn't sleep, he waits in his hallway in full gear to tackle anyone who breaks into his house.

@tedmustard Imagine the horror stories of the few robbers who lived to tell the tale of those huge eyes floating in the dark, waiting.

@sprqman "The last thing i remember is him shouting 'You done opened the wrong can of worms, boy!' and then HIS EYES."


LOL... more to come, I'm sure...

So... it's super boring at work today, so my brain decided it wanted to write a story... I tried to fit it into a pairing, but it just wasn't leaning that direction... So I have an original fic here to share with you... It's only the first part... but I figured I'd post it, see if anyone was interested...

What's here is what I have...but up next is the private dinner... People drink, questions are asked, things are revealed, and people get grumpy... ;)

 

( Untitled...as of now... )

 

So... totally got to MEET Fall Out Boy last night!!!!!!!!!!!

There were about 25, maybe 35 of us and we cycled through the line twice.
The first was to get something autographed: 

That's my FOB concert buddy, stephie :D

She's more friendly in these situations than I, I get shy and don't talk... She mentioned something about the SF concert we went to in Nov to Patrick Stump - my favr FOB - and I piggy-backed onto that convo... then I noticed that the drummer was wearing a Vintage Star Wars t-shirt and since I was wearing my awesome Marc Ecko Darth Vader hoodie I said "hey, love the shirt" and when he looked at me I pointed out my sweatshirt, he laughed and said "love yours" :D Pete Wentz looked up and saw Stephie's Boba Fett hoodie and complimented her on it, which was great since most people don't get that it's a boba fett hoodie :D
Then we went through again and got our picture taken with them...and 4 other people...but still PICTURE WITH FALL OUT BOY!!!!!

I don't have the pic yet, it's supposed to be posted to friendsorenemies.com, but i dunno when... :( I did get to stand next to my favr band member, Patrick Stump :D it was AWESOME!!!!!

Fall Out Boy was WICKED in concert!!!!

a good night all around :D:D:D

This Monday has shaped up to be pretty BADASS!!!!

My new jeans are awesome AND comfortable, which is great, and my friend won tickets to a Fall Out Boy concert tomorrow and they're MEET & GREET tix and she's TAKING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They're one of my top 3 favr bands and we've been to a couple of their concerts together, I'm so exited :D:D:D:D:D:D

I am starting to think that The Daily Show needs a morning segment... I am totally in love with starting my day at 8 am with the DS from the night before... Puts a good spin on the whole day ;)

Some fave quotes from last nights ep:

OBAMA REBRANDING:

Flooding in North Dakota = Semi-Voluntary Property Baptism

Obesity Epidemic = Enhanced Biological Jollification

and the best one!

Forest Fires = Extreme Wildlife Oxificaiton & Talking Bear Employment Opportunities


:D...i've realzied tho, that the only problem with waking up with Jon Stewart and his crew is the surprised laughter that rings across the office...makes watching hulu at work harder to hide ;)


the ep:

One of my flist buddies, boudecia7 , posted a question about a specific kink (Vorarephilia, or Vore) she was assigned for a writing meme. Anybody on my flist got any pertinent/helpful information for her? And myself, I admit I too am curious about the drive that fuels this kink. We're looking for helpful info, no judgy judgyness or nasty comments. Understanding is what's being hoped for here, people!

Reply here or check out her original post :)

THANKS!

I really must remember to drink more water when we go out drinking... I used to remember... but apparently as I age I forget the important stuff... ;)

Tho...today's gonna be a good day cause I had a righteously dirty dream last night. I'm hoping it's set the tone for the day :D

AND we're going to 99 Chicken tonight!! BEST. CHICKEN. EVER.

Hullo! Just posting to say hi... :) It's been awhile since I posted anything...my job at the mo doesn't allow for lots of free computer time :(


I'm back at my original job for the day, maybe the week *crosses fingers* so I may be on here more :)

Congrats to Now President Barack Obama!! Welcome to your country, we're glad you're here ;)

This is the first Inauguration I've been really excited about, I remember being happy about Clinton's...I think...it was a while ago ;) I will admit that I got a little teary-eyed... This speech was one of his best so far, but seeing how they've mostly been awesome I'm sure there are more great ones to come.

I'm actually looking forward to the State of the Union. :D

Here are some of my fave quotes from his speech:

"We the people have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebears and true to our founding documents. So it has been. So it must be." -I totally said "so say we all" at the end of this line...from my brother's room came: "oh my GAWD!" haha

"We gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord. We come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas that for far too long have strangled our politics."

"All are equal, all are free, and all deserve the chance to pursue their full measure of happiness."

"Starting today we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America." -I love that throughout the speech he said "we" instead of "I", that he's put the responsibility of turning our country around on us as well as him. It's been a long time since someone demanded personal responsibility from the citizens. It feels good.

"We will restore science to it's rightful place." -DUDE!!! About time! I've been waiting and waiting...GO SCIENCE!!!!

"A nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous." -Right EFFING on, man!!

"We reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals." -This is something that has bothered me since 9/11...I believe in safety, but not EVER at the cost of our liberty and freedom as citizens of a FREE country.

"Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions. our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it allow us to do as we please." -Yay for diplomacy coming back to the White House!

"Know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy." -Very deep, and very true.

"To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history, but that we will extend a hand, if you are willing to unclench your fist." -I'm glad his speech didn't focus solely on us, that he reached out to the international community to remind them that we were once friendly first and to encourage them to believe that we can become that again.

"...those values upon which our success depends; honesty and hard work, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism. These things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history." -I love that he has a real grasp on our history, on what we can do if we work together. I love that he wants to help us all to remember that we are a nation built on thinking ahead to the future, of what we can be and not only what we are now, and of pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps to make life better for us and our children.

It's a wonderful feeling to be optimistic about politics and what the government can do for us and with us to make the world a better place to be.

Have a great night everyone.

It's been awhile... thought I'd check-in, say hi, let some steam out...

I still haven't found a job.
I haven't gone on a date in longer than I want to remember.
Ditto for getting laid.
I work for a little above minimum wage at a bookstore, but at least I'm getting out of the house.
I'm starting to like going to the gym.
I haven't found a new job which means I haven't had good food, a new DVD, new clothes, fast food, or anything else that constitutes an "unnecessary expense" for over 2 months.
I'm starting to think all those things are very necessary for one's mental health. ;)
The above also means that I still don't have a car that's mine.
The one I'm driving (my grandfather's tiny 90s pickup) probably isn't helping with the second and third statement on this list.
I'm slightly crushing on a completely inappropriate man, but it's nice to feel the blush and tingle and stomach clenches of a crush again.
I love my friends and my family, they've been more than fantastic.
Sometimes I hate my life very much and want someone to unhesitatingly be on my side-for once-so that I don't have to fight every freaking battle on my own, then I hate that I'm being all emo and lame and I watch something with gratuitous amounts of violence and feel better.
I'm starting to hate my for-right-now job and have to look for a second one to get me through this lean time...irony really is a kick in the stomach.

and the reason I really decided to post, and the reason you can feel free to blame for the useless waste of your friends page that you see above, is that I've gotten a new email addy and wanted to share it with you. If we're RL friends, or internet buddies that email sometimes, or you like having something to do when you're all caught up with your LJ friend's page and are waiting for the next post, please email me here: emmyhildy@gmail.com, so that I can add you to my new address book. (Do you see what I did there with my new email name?) ;)

That is all for now.
Good night, and sleep well.

Emmy out.

If you know me in person, my rainbow shade will make serious sense ;)

... I'm not sure what to say to all that... the man is an oratorical genius... up there with Clinton, Kennedy, FDR, and Lincoln...

Never before have I cried just a little at the power and emotion of a politician's words... He got me on the patriotic, "we rise and fall as a nation, as a people" and his "yes, we can" of the last 100 years... I'm a patriot, I think this is a pretty wicked country, and definitely believe we can once again be respected and liked as we once were across the world... and this is the man to get us there. Because he asks us to join him. To come together and help him, ourselves, and each other make this a better country and a better world. A call that we haven't heard as a people in a long, long, long time. It's something I feel we needed as a country and a people.

Thank you, America. Thank you for taking the chance on Hope and Optimism and not fallin back on fear and the "way things are done"

It feels pretty good. The end of a horrible era, the weight and pain and fear has lifted and it's nothing but sunny days ahead....

In three months... ;)

If you couldn't tell, I'm pretty happy at the moment.

M, out. :D

Welcome to the world, President Barack Obama.

I'm so happy and excited!!!!!

Now we just have to worry about Prop 4 and 8... :(

I want to share for many reasons... There is only today and tomorrow left until the BIGGEST day of this year. Figure out where you're supposed to vote.Don't forget to vote. Plus... Shia is in it!! ;)  And it's pretty funny! :D

This is why I think Global Warming is real... ;)

Yesterday I went spent the day hot and a bit uncomfortable, I went to bed under only one of my comforters... I woke up today and it's windy and blustery and cold... It's sprinkling in my backyard and not in my front yard...

The world is coming to an end.... ;)

See? What'd I say about my posting history...

I got this off tanyareed ...

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you!


P.S. there's a bird (?) outside my window making a scary/weird/creepy noise...it's 3 AM and I have trouble sleeping without fresh air but the bird is really creepy... i hate birds.

Have any of ya'll noticed that when I post it's usually a buncha times in a row then nothing for days...? ;)

I wanna post this because the man is amazing. If his words don't move you, if what he wants for us as a country, what he wants us to start doing for ourselves, together, doesn't strike something inside you... well, I just don't know what to do with you ;)

So... I posted a bit ago about a car accident I was in with a *mutters* cop car... My car was destroyed, but I was given about 4500 bucks from my insurance company. I wanted to buy a new car, but the cost of fixing the cop car went $2400 over what my insurance co. would cover :(  I had other plans for my insurance money ($2000 on a car, the rest to support me until I got a job) but now I had to give most of it to the cops...

Got a call this morning from the Police Fleet's spokesperson... he and my insurance guy had talked and they decided to WAIVE the $2400!!!!!!!

Best. News. In. A. Month.

Then I went in to my old job to check my email (i was laid off for lack of work) and my boss wants to get me clearance so I can work on this big classified thing that's coming in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I dunno if ya'll know about this, but it costs a buttload and once you're vetted by the Gov't you can put that s*&t on your resume and ask for MOAR money!! :D

I'm seriously thinking this week is when my luck has turned for the better!! :D


and just because I seriously enjoyed this trailer, here you go:


THIS LOOKS F-ING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know, I know, I just posted... But I feel that today is a day for sharing! ;)

For a little shot of hope and a push to help out and Make. This. Happen.


...sorry for all the political stuff... i'm in a mood

I dunno how many of you have seen this already, but I'm gonna post it anyway!

I love a serious man with a lot rigding on him show off a GREAT sense of humor!
