Im sorry guys. This is going to be my last post.

I tried but Ive just been up for too long. My head isnt clear and my eyes hurt.

I got in 16 hours and $100 for my charity. I wish I could do more.

Next year I will do it again and make sure I am on the A-shift. That will be so much easier for me.

It is not to late to donate, I will be taking donations for the rest of the day. Please give if you havent already. RAINN is an amazing charity and deserves every penny it can get.

Again, Im sorry I am giving up after only 16 hours. I feel terrible but I cant keep my eyes open.

Goodnight :(

This looks really interesting and possibly cool. Its the teaser for Pixars new movie "Up". Check it out:

IMDB summary: In this "coming of old age" story, a seventysomething hero, alongside his clueless wilderness ranger sidekick, travels the globe, fighting beasts and villains, and eating dinner at 3:30 in the afternoon.

M is for Movies: What is your favorite? Do you have a favorite genre?

My favourite of the moment would have to be The Awful Truth starring Irene Dunne and Cary Grant. It is a screwball comedy from 1937 about a couple getting a divorce and sabotaging each others relationships. Even though it is 70 years old it is still very timeless and hilariously funny.
My favourite genre? OLD.

Ok now I am watching Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

All the kung fu action revved me up a little bit. I took my vitamins and walked around a little bit. Hopefully I will be good to go.

I feel like I am getting a cold. I could just be over tired though. Even though I have only been blogging for 14 hours I have been awake for 26 hours. I am going to pass out soon.

I really want to finish this blogathon. I did it last year, I cant drop out early. Rob is awake now so at least I have a IRL cheerleader to keep me going. If I have to drop out then I have to. I wont be too down on myself about it. $100 for RAINN is way better than I expected.

Ugh I feel all vomity from too many energy drinks. Let this serve as a lesson to you kids. Too many Monsters = swirly stomach ache.

I is for Interesting Link: Post a link to a website you find interesting

Most of you who read my blog know that I was looking for a place to watch Mamma Mia online. Well I found an awesome site where you can see pretty much any movie that is out now. That is, if you dont mind the occasional subtitles or mediocre quality.

I find movies interesting :)

H is for Higher Being: Are you spiritual, religious, nature-loving, etc? Tell us about it and DO NOT argue with others about theirs on their blog! Play nice.
I believe in God but I dont think I could be called actively religious. I was raised Catholic in a very religious Italian family. I was in the childrens choir and even was an altar girl for several years. When my grandfather passed away I stopped going to church. He was the glue that bound me to religion.
Now that I rarely go out I will sometimes watch church services on TV. I make the sign of the cross everytime I take the Lords name in vain but that is just because Im weird.
I guess Im a fallen Catholic.

#27 Writer's Block: Last Call

Sun, 27 Jul 2008 14:00:54 GMT

You are on a plane that's about to crash. You have time to make ONE phone call. Who do you call and what do you say?

Submitted by lovelylette_x3

View other answers

I am assuming that Rob is on this plane with me because I would be too scared to travel alone. So I would call my mom. I would tell her that making her my last call should make up for all the times I didnt call her. I would also tell her to get my best friend to let my online friends know because she cant handle the computer herself.

Oh yeah and I should probably apologize for being a sucky daughter sometimes.

Holy crap there are 11 and a half hours to go. Time is not flying anymore :(

I am watching Babe. Im such a geek.

Im also on my second Monster. I am so overtired that the taste of it is making me sick. But I need it to keep me going.

It is cloudy and humid out. There is a weird van parked outside my house. It is a kidnapping kind of van. An "Ive got kittens in my van, step inside little girl" kind of van. An Amber Alert van. Maybe it is a surveillance van.

Tired paranoia has obviously set in.

This is no good.

F is for Family: Tell us about yours or if you don’t like yours, tell us about your ideal one

My family is very small. It is now just Rob and my mom. My family used to be huge but with my grandparents died a whole generation of family members. Its sad because I miss my grandparents so badly. I dont know my dad. He left when I was 6 months old. I only saw him once in my life and that was when I was 8. He lives in California with his new family and pretty much ignores that I am alive.
I dont mind my family the way it is and I dont think I would change it. My mom is a pain in the ass but she is getting better about letting me be an adult.

I wish I was an A-shifter. I am about to crash royally. I think I need another Monster.

I am watching Juno. I guess its a pregnancy movie marathon. I have no idea what I will watch next but it has to be something invigorating.

I am crashing. Somebody help meeeeeeeee.

D is for Diet: What are your favorite foods?

I think its been established that I love peanut butter. I also love sushi and sashimi. If it werent so expensive I would eat it everyday. I like egg rolls a little too much also. Basically anything bad for diabetics like myself.

C is for Career: What is your career? What would you like your career to be? Explain.

Right now I have no career. Before I went crazy I worked as a bank teller, not sure if that counts as a career. I hated it so I'm hoping I'm not a career bank teller. So my career is to sit on my butt and blog I guess.

Someday I would like to be a tattoo artist. I went to art school so I am hoping to someday do something with that and not waste it. I feel like I waste it every day.

B is for Blog: How many incarnations has it seen? What do you mostly blog about?

I've had this blog for 2 years now and it has undergone many appearance changes. Most of them were cutesy girly themes. I think I need a change now. The whole paisley sidebar and Natalie Wood header kinda clash. I just never feel like making a new one. Any suggestions?

As for what I blog about....well I blog about me. I treat my blog like a paper journal. I type out my thoughts and feelings and shit like that :)
I feel like I am missing something because I'm not into fan fic or fandoms or anything like that. Are old movies considered fandoms or does it have to be like Doctor Who or something? I dont know these things. So I'm guessing the answer is probably no.

I'm going to start playing the alphabet game from the day of blogs website. good times!

A is for Amazing. Tell us why you are amazing. Everyone is in some way or another.

I have pretty shitty self esteem so this is a hard one for me. I dont really think of myself as amazing. I guess I am exceptionally patient and open minded. I am a great listener and always try to be as supportive as possible to my friends and family. I am pretty introverted IRL so I would rather be the silent support than the one telling all of my problems. I guess thats pretty amazing, right?

What makes you amazing?

It is distantly thundering out. I don't think there is any danger with using my laptop though. It sounds really far away.
The sun is officially coming up. Man, it's 6 am! Time is really going by quick thank the lord.

Someone asked me earlier if I had children what would I name them.

This is actually something I think about a lot. Probably because I want to have children soon. Ideally I would like to start trying in January or something so I can have a fall baby. I am a fall baby so I am biased.

If I had a girl I would name her Catherine Irene. Catherine was my grandmothers name and I just love the name. It sounds so sophisticated and classy. Irene is after Irene Dunne who is my favourite old movie star. Also a classy name.

If I had a boy it would be named Aubrey Kilgallen. Aubrey after Aubrey Beardsley who is one of my favourite artists and Kilgallen after Dorothy Kilgallen, my favourite journalist. I think they are really timeless names that will not get the kid made fun of hopefully.

Okay the thunder is getting closer. Scarrrrrrryyyyyy....

Okay so I'm watching Knocked Up and drinking a diet pepsi max. Is everyone else awake? Is everyone else fading?

I hope they are all perky and what not. Only 16 more hours to go!!!

I'm getting bored. I have more prompts and stuff so I wont run out of stuff to blog about but whats up with you guys?

Check in!! Talk to me :)

Okay its 4:30am and I just put in "Knocked Up". I just got it in the mail today from eBay. Its the 2 disc extended edition. I'm psyched.
I love this movie so fucking much. The girl who plays the sister looks just like my therapist too. Not that that was the selling point but you know it is what it is. I love Judd Apatow.

Best scene from the movie:

Debbie: I'm not gonna go to the end of the fucking line, who the fuck are you? I have just as much of a right to be here as any of these little skanky girls. What, am I not skanky enough for you, you want me to hike up my fucking skirt? What the fuck is your problem? I'm not going anywhere, you're just some roided out freak with a fucking clipboard. And your stupid little fucking rope! You know what, you may have power now but you are not god. You're a doorman, okay. You're a doorman, doorman, doorman, doorman, doorman, so... Fuck You! You fucking fag with your fucking little faggy gloves.
Doorman: I know... you're right. I'm so sorry, I fuckin' hate this job. I don't want to be the one to pass judgement, decide who gets in. Shit makes me sick to my stomach, I get the runs from the stress. It's not cause you're not hot, I would love to tap that ass. I would tear that ass up. I can't let you in cause you're old as fuck. For this club, you know, not for the earth.
Debbie: What?
Doorman: You old, she pregnant. Can't have a bunch of old pregnant bitches running around. That's crazy, I'm only allowed to let in five percent black people. He said that, that means if there's 25 people here I get to let in one and a quarter black people. So I gotta hope there's a midget in the crowd.

What are your favorite movies??

I was inspired by weirdcatlady and cats in general so I thought I would write about my kitty, Go-Go.

We adopted Go-Go from an animal shelter in October of 2005. She was about 2 months old then so we celebrate her birthday on August 12th cause that's my mom's birthday too. This is what she looked like when she was about 3 months old and loved to sleep in the crook of my arm.

Since she has grown up she has been passive/aggressive with her affection. When I am awake she stays on her window perch and wont even acknowledge me. Once I get in bed though she gets on top of me and kneads and bakes biscuits on my stomach. Then she falls asleep on my pillow right by my head. Sometimes I wake up to her kneading my hair in her sleep.

My husband pretends to hate her because he hates cats but I always catch him snuggling her and talking baby talk to her. When she does something bad (like using my husbands antique chair as a scratching post) she gets punishment hugs.

Right now she is curled up on the chair next to me, because she likes to be close to me without over doing it. I love my puppy but Go-Go is my first born so she gets special treatment. She has more toys than any other cat on the planet.

This is what she looks like now:

and just for laughs:

I am addicted to What's My Line? I just finished watching it on GSN. I found this clip on YouTube and you gotta watch it and give it a chance. It is one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. I know some people shy away from B&W TV but its worth it I promise :)

What food do I hate?

I hate hate hate onions. Its almost like a phobia. I cant stand even having them in the same house as me. In fact they are banned from my apartment. And you dont even realize how many things contain onions until you loathe them. Everything has onions in them.

There are other things I dislike but nothing I truly hate. I dont like peppers but I can deal if they are in my food. I dont like red meat but if someone makes me eat it (like if im over someones house for dinner) i will.

But onions are my worst enemy just like peanut butter is my best friend.

You know who/what I hate?? Sham WOW and Vince from the Sham WOW infomercial:

This is the douchebag right here. I hate his voice. I hate how he tries to make me feel stupid for using papertowels. I hate when he does the fake cola demonstration and then says "are you following me, camera guy?" because he is doing such amazing things with the shammy thing that the camera can't keep up. I hate how the big selling point is that its made in Germany. He actually says that only good things come from Germany. Um, has Vince been under a rock and missed 20th century history. Not only good things came from Germany Vince but I'm not even gonna go there.

In case you live in another, much luckier country or you dont watch TV or you are just a masochist, here is the stupid fucking Sham WOW commercial:

Don't even get me started on the Extenze boner pill commercials.......

Ok, the first energy drink has made an appearance. I'm not too tired but I needed a pick me up. I also needed a prompt so voila I went to a prompt generator:

"The world will end in one week. What will you do until then?"

Ok first I eat like a muthaeffing pig. I will eat everything and anything. Then I will spend all the time that I am not eating with my family. Maybe I will get together with my family to eat. Combine the two.
I will take Gypsy to swim in a lake with no leash on. I will sex my husband copious amounts of times. I will wear too much makeup and go out with bedhead. I will watch all of the seasons of "curb your enthusiasm". I will wear a bathing suit and go swimming and not be ashamed of my body. I will go out to a club and dance freely.
I will find Stevie Nicks and force her to hug me and sing to me. I will smoke more because I know I will not die of lung cancer. I will go out tanning in my yard in a tank top. I will eat some more. There will be a lot of sushi and corn dogs eaten.

What would you do??

My cat is playing with her "baby" right now and it is really adorable. Her baby is a little stuffed lion. She meows really loud at it and then rolls all over the carpet with it in her arms. She tries to act all tough and hard but she is really a little fluff of a creampuff.

Watching her play with her lion reminded me of a video that I saw on Jess' blog yesterday. And I knew I needed to post it here. It is so frigging sweet and heartmelty that it made both me and my husand cry. I dare you to watch it and not get all teary.
