Bent down to get into a file cabinet. Grabbed the end of the desk for balance. Accidentally knocked over small speaker that landed painfully on my middle finger.
Few minutes later. Tried to get a REALLY stubborn, stuck cap off of a bottle. Scraped up fingers. Used a tissue to finally force the cap off. Cap slipped and fell onto floor underneath the desk. Crawled under desk to get cap. Bumped head underneath desk and bumped elbow on open drawer.
I am a most special kind of klutz. My life is a perpetual state of danger.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Couldn't find the first two Preacher comics, so I got The Watchmen instead for now. Should really start The Sandman series as well and The Walking Dead.
Off to eat whole wheat spaghetti with meatballs. :)

Damn that Dell commercial - this song is too catchy. It sticks in my head like peanut butter mixed with honey and taffy. o_O Much like "Daylight" from Matt & Kim has been gracing my iTunes player too much recently after being exposed to it in some alcohol commercial. And the "Major Tom" cover by Shiny Toy Guns from that car commercial.
I think this means I've been watching way too much television. Actually, I've never watched as much television as I do now. It's definitely taking away from my creativity. Even Abby looks perturbed in my icon.
Headed over to Barnes & Noble looking for the first two "Preacher" comic novels (a recently acquired interest), but they only had Volume 6 and 9 so I might pick them up elsewhere. Also along my travels in B&N, I came across The Anatomy of Evil by Michael H. Stone, M.D. which looked intriguing.
Last week was so busy, I'm having one of those days where I just want to sit/lie around, eat Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips, drink Diet Coke and do absolutely nothing.
I don't even feel like watching a movie, television or reading anything. I could just stare at the wall for a few hours and melt away.

After watching "Burn Notice" last night, Michael Westen showed up in my dreams a few times to keep some of my nightmares away by using his spy experience. It was also relatively educational since he explained a lot of what he was doing much like he does on the show. Strangely enough, it made me feel really safe and protected which led to a very deep, comfortable sleep. I think Sam and Fiona were there some of the time, too.
Brief interjection: WTFBBQ! WHERE THE HELL ARE ALL THESE SPORADIC BLACK ANTS COMING FROM THAT ARE CRAWLING ACROSS MY COMPUTER SCREEN??! o_O
Sorry...I digress. I've been going through a busy time lately and haven't felt like posting much because I've just been working and sleeping. Hopefully things will slow down shortly and I can concentrate on some other things in my personal life. Still working on the tarot at night, though.
I also have two small ducklings in the neighborhood - they are my favorites with the little yellow tummies and yellow faces. :D
P.S. Dungeons and Dragons Tiny Adventures on Facebook is way addicting.

Spent part of the night reading about Lilith. I've also been nursing a headache for two days. It doesn't want to leave completely.
Not much else going on at the moment. Trying to muster some motivation to do some things I have to do this weekend.

I has a new icon for happy stuff. :)
This morning, I said, "Screw it, it's Friday and I'm having a cinnamon roll." My heart scare has made me much more aware of what I'm eating, and I'm making healthier decisions. For example, saving cinnamon rolls for special days like Fridays. ;) I also think that it's no accident that a cinnamon roll is also a mandala because of its round delicious swirliness and the ability to send someone into a sugar-induced meditation of happiness.
And also, though completely unrelated, I felt the need to mention that the composition of this picture infers some possible surprise panda buttsecks.
For the past week, I've been all about abandoned buildings, the Tarot and an old CD of Victoria Williams songs I used to listen to years ago. Particularly "Crazy Mary" - it's been stuck in my head for days now.
This weekend is going to involve watching giallo films, getting things organized, repairing some jewelry and perhaps a painting.
And just now I had a surreal moment. I happened to glance at my iTunes playlist section and I saw one called "Ghostly Classics". I know I didn't create this playlist, so my first thought was omgwtfbbq!!?? After some investigating, I realize this is a free album I downloaded from iTunes about a week ago, but had never listened to it. It was just an eerie feeling - apparently it automatically became a playlist.
After all the issues I've had lately, that's all I need is some ghost with a weird sense of humor screwing with my music player. ;)

Just got back from the doctor. The tests were normal and I'm o.k. :) Something is still a little weird about the t-wave, but he said the results of the stress test mean more than the EKG, and the stress test and echo were fine.
I am so relieved, you can't imagine. I think I'm going to celebrate by taking a really nice, long nap.

Called the doctor's office this morning and my appointment is now rescheduled for the 8th. I think if it were really serious, they would have moved it to a sooner date instead of a later one, so that's making me feel a bit better for the moment.
Last night, when I was getting ready for bed, I heard the dreaded sound of buzzing coming from behind my cabinet shelf in the bathroom. I could tell from the buzzing, it sounded bigger than a fly, and I actually gathered enough nerve to look for it briefly beforerunning and flailing out of the room closing off the door and going to bed. How I forgot about him this morning with my gigantic wasp/bee-phobia, I'll never know. I took a shower, got dressed and headed over to my sink to brush my teeth when I saw this funny little thing sitting by the faucet handle. It was lime-green with a thin striped butt, but had a little fly face. It was bigger than a housefly and slightly smaller than a bee, but looked REALLY beelike. He was watching me and it took a moment to register what I was looking at.
I gasped and proceeded to point at him dramatically, exclaiming, "YOU! You're the one that was buzzing last night!" and then immediately felt stupid that I pointed at him dramatically. I kept staring at him trying to figure out what he was, when he started to move really slow and hobbled a bit. He appeared to be dying, so I sped up the process for him with a magazine. I still have no idea what he was, but he isn't anymore and has gone on to "Mutant Bee-Fly Heaven". I hope I don't see anymore of them - he was freaking me out.
And a really cool meme thefted fromsweetsyren: Comment and I will tell you something I love about you - but without using any of the usual broad, general adjectives (as lovely as they are). Instead, I will tell you a detail, something almost insignificant, that makes you stand out to me as an individual. It could be anything from the way you make a smiley to a word you always use, from the way you talk about your sister to a picture you once posted that stood out. ANYTHING.

The Iguana Uprising has begun! :O
I counted 43 iguanas out and about today. I'm not exaggerating - FORTY-THREE!! They were all along this one road, being all clandestine while watching the cars drive by. They were burrowed into the grass and, once in awhile, you'd see a little head pop up and look around before hiding again. I only counted 43 heads - there actually could have been a whole lot more! I swear, they are just lying in wait with tiny walkie-talkies for the moment their leader tells them it's a go and then their human oppressors will be under attack. And I would imagine they probably have a lot of hard feelings against cats as well, so, I'd lock them up, too.
I've also joined the ranks of The Bluetooth People. Now I can look as crazy as everyone else at the grocery store wandering around talking to themselves. People will stare at me while I have conversations with cantaloupe or cottage cheese. Well...that's actually no different than all my other previous visits to the store, I just have a little electronic thing sticking out of my ear now. ;)
Getting ready to see Drag Me to Hell - I'm doing it later than everyone else because I'll just never be as cool as all the people who saw it Friday night.

Your result for The Social Persona Test (What kind of man/woman are you?)...
The Rarity (QTAF)
Quirky Traditional Alpha Female
You have an unusual and unbelievably precious combination of traits, especially in a woman. Not only are alpha females extremely rare, but traditional ones with nerdy/geeky interests are even more scarce. Unlike the other types, I can't give you a description because I'm not sure if you actually exist.
PS: I know this is not a compatibility test, but there is a very good chance you are the girl of my dreams. Not to sound desperate or anything, but please, oh please message me! (Assuming, that is, that you are between 20 and 30 and live in New England).
--Bookwyrm85
You are more QUIRKY than NORMAL.
You are more TRADITIONAL than LIBERAL.
You are more DOMINANT than PASSIVE.
When picking a date, consider: Lord of the Misfits (QLAM), The Late Bloomer (QTAM), The Snowball's Chance in Hell (QTBM), or The Manga Geek (QLBM).

I do know of one other person in the US with my first and last name, but I do not know her personally. I have been tempted to send her an email just to say "Hi, we have the same name!" but I haven't because she would probably think I was the total flake that I am. However, my first and last name together is relatively common all over Germany.
Although, having the unusual first name that I do, I haven't known that many Lianes. Funny story: at my school of about 300 kids, there was a Liana. At my school of over 1,100 kids - no Lianes in the bunch except me.
The only Liane I know besides my aunt, is the very awesomedesert_rn. And that's how we met - on LJ because we had the same name. :)

A ladybug just landed onto my bathroom mirror from out of nowhere. I've seen maybe two ladybugs in the last three years anywhere around here. They aren't common. So, what is the chance that one would fly right in front of my face while I was standing in front of the mirror?
I think this means everything is going to be o.k.
