If you're out on the road...

Because I can....

Rory: Do something to make me hate you!
Lorelai: Um, go Hitler?

Lorelai: I love ranting Luke.

[At the Yale-Harvard football game]
Lorelai: Oh, wait, are you Pennilyn Lott, my dad's college sweetheart?
Pennilyn Lott: Yes.
Lorelai: You're my almost-mommy.
Pennilyn Lott: Well, I supposed that's one way of putting it...
Lorelai: I'm so glad to finally meet you. Let me ask you something - would you have let me get a pony?

Lorelai: Are you going to kiss me now? You are so incredibly predictable.

Logan: Rory, you're special.
Rory: Like "stop-eating-the-paste" special?

Sookie: Okay, here we go. Low fat, whole wheat blueberry pancakes.
Michel: Are there 12?
Sookie: 12 what?
Michel: Blueberries. I can only have 12 blueberries for breakfast.
Sookie: Or what?
Michel: What do you mean, or what?
Sookie: What happens if you eat 13 blueberries?
Michel: This is a silly conversation.
Sookie: Would you die?
Michel: Just hand me the plate.
Sookie: Only if you don't count.
Michel: I won't count.
Sookie: Swear. Raise your right hand and say, 'May Destiny's Child break up if I count these blueberries.'
Michel: [raises his hand] ... Pick another group.
Sookie: Nope.
Michel: [slams hand down] I hate you! Hate you!

Lorelai: [at the town meeting, when everyone is talking about the bad things that Jess has done] I hear he controls the weather and wrote the screenplay to Glitter!

Lorelai: Can I use the fun cutter thingy?
Luke: Not if you call it the fun cutter thingy.
Lorelai: Please?
Luke: Cut the boxes, not your hands.
Lorelai: Good tip, you should teach!

Lorelai: My shoe broke! I need you to fix it!
Luke: Do I look like a cobbler to you?
Lorelai: If I say yes, will you fix it?

Jess: So we just sit on a bench or stare at our shoes.

Paris: Maybe I shouldn't go. I mean, what if I fall for him and he doesn't like me?
Rory: Then you'll find someone else.
Paris: But what if there is no one else?
Rory: Then you'll buy some cats.

Emily: You were on the phone?
Richard: Long distance.
Lorelai: God?
Richard: London.
Lorelai: God lives in London?
Richard: My mother lives in London.
Lorelai: Your mother is God?
Richard: Lorelai...
Lorelai: So, God *is* a woman.
Richard: Lorelai.
Lorelai: *And* a relative. That's so cool. I'm gonna totally ask for favors.
Richard: Make her stop.
Rory: Oh, that I could.

Rory: Mom?
Lorelai: Oh.
Rory: You're happy.
Lorelai: Yeah.
Rory: Did you do something slutty?
Lorelai: I'm not that happy.

Luke: Rory's not here yet.
Lorelai: Then you'll have to entertain me until she arrives. Okay Burger boy, dance.
Luke: Will you marry me?
[Lorelai is taken aback]
Luke: Just looking for something to shut you up.

Lorelai: Someone hit you with a pretty stick.

Lorelai: Hey, I have kind of a crazy idea.
Rory: Those are never comforting words coming from you.

Lorelai: Hey, you didn't wake me up.
Rory: I set the clock.
Lorelai: Yes, but see, the clock stops ringing once I throw it against the wall giving me ample time to fall back to sleep. You, however, never stop yapping no matter how hard I throw you, thus insuring the wake up process.

Lorelai: I miss Max.
Rory: I know.
Lorelai: I had a dream about him the other night.
Rory: Really? Dirty?
Lorelai: No. Absolutely not. And when you're 21, I'll tell you the real answer.

Christopher: This town is like one big outpatient mental institution.

Lorelai: Kirk asked me out.
Rory: Shut up!
Lorelai: Yesterday.
Rory: That's so sweet!
Lorelai: Rory!
Rory: What are you gonna wear? Ooh, you should wear your dress with the ponies on it, I bet likes ponies.
Lorelai: You're not serious.
Rory: I bet you'll have a good time.
Lorelai: "Hello headmaster Charleston, this is my stepdad, Kirk. Try not to make any sudden movements, he's a fear biter!"
Rory: OK, so how are you gonna let him down?

Rory: [to Logan as they enter his house for dinner] Remind me to tell you about the time my mom wore her rhinestone penis T-shirt to dinner and Grandma had her car towed.

Lorelai: I thought inviting those girls out would make things easier for you at school.
Rory: Yeah, well I've always thought 'easy' is completely overrated.
Lorelai: Oh, that's my twisted girl.

Lorelai: I do know that Istanbul is Constantinople. So, if you have a date in Constantinople, she'll be waiting in Istanbul.

Lorelai: Hey, what do you know about this town loner guy?
Luke: Same as everyone. Just kind of skulks around with that backpack, never smiles.
Lorelai: Does he also make cheeseburgers and secretly harbor a desire to wear a backwards baseball cap?
Luke: What?
Lorelai: [sings] They're cousins, identical cousins...
Luke: Stop it.

Luke: Shouldn't we give thanks first?
Jess: Thanks for what?
Luke: Well, that we're not Native Americans who got their land stolen in exchange for smallpox infested blankets.
Lorelai: Amen.

Rory: Oh, look, babies.
Lorelai: I never wanna hear that come out of your mouth again.

Lorelai: Independence inn.
Emily: You really should identify yourself when you answer the phone at work.
Lorelai: Sorry. Independence Inn, major disappointment speaking. Better?

Rory: Who are the rosary beads for?
Lorelai: They're mine.
Rory: What do you need rosary beads for?
Lorelai: They're cute.
Rory: They're for prayer.
Lorelai: Well, pray they match my blue suit.
Rory: They've just upgraded you to a queen-size bed, jacuzzi tub, junior suite in hell.

Lorelai: Rory is very low maintenance. Kind of like that robot kid in A.I., only way less mother-obsessed. Oh my God, that kid was so annoying. I would've pushed him out of the car while it was still moving.

[Emily has purchased a very small "panic room"]
Lorelai: Hey, let's test it out. I'm gonna get you.
[makes claws with her hands]
Emily: [annoyed] Oh, my God.
Lorelai: [attempting to be scary] You better get in there, 'cause I'm a bad guy. Baah!
Emily: Stop it.
Lorelai: I'm menacing. Panic, damn it. Come on.

Luke: Crazy people. Whole town should be medicated and put in a rec room with ping pong tables and hand puppets.

Luke: You tuck a bed in on both sides?
Lorelai: Yeah, and then I slip in, like it's a straightjacket.
Luke: Oh, you must feel at home there.

Rory: How come we don't have a tiki bar?
Lorelai: Because we're not two wild and crazy guys.
Rory: You like pina colodas.
Lorelai: And getting caught in the rain.

Michel: People are particularly stupid today. I can't talk to any more of them.

[Miss Patty's ballerinas are practising walking around with books on their heads]
Miss Patty: Now, walk smooth. That's the new Harry Potter on your heads. If they should drop, Harry will die, and there won't be anymore books.

Lorelai: [on Michel] He's snarky.
Sookie: And sarcastic.
Lorelai: He's snarkastic.

Let there be light!

I swung by my apartment yesterday on my way home from work. The power company came and so I was finally able to see the place with some lights on. It's even brighter and more cheery and cute than I thought it would be.

I have some awesome lighting in the kitchen hidden in the ceiling. Awesome is hardly a word I would have ever used to describe lighting before this week but there it is. I have two closets in the bedroom and though neither has a light directly in it, the light from the bedroom is more than enough.

I am so psyched. Officially I guess I could move in tomorrow night because I traded my on call with Brooke. She's taking tomorrow night so I can go couch shopping and I'll take Sunday for her. But I don't really want to move in without cable because nick at nite is like my safe place and if I can't sleep I know I'm not going to want to just sit up and read.

Work is good. To quote Jim Carrey in Bruce Almighty - "It's Goooood"
The pets are great. Pixel loves playing with Kumba and Mollly. Kumba even lets her chase him around the yard and is kind enough not to eat her as a tasty little snack. My mom is going to miss Amelie and Pixel more than she's going to miss me at this point. haha. The only sad thing is, only one of the nine lovie eggs hatched and Peachy didn't feed it so the baby died. :( I'm hoping none of the others will hatch cuz I don't want to deal with it. it's too much right now. So sad, though. I hope they don't breed again for a while. They need a break.

Pix and I took a trip to Petco last night to get her a smaller kennel. The big metal one she had was just too big. It won't fit anyplace in the apartment well. So we walked around there and got her a cage that can fit just her bed and some space for her. She is never the type of dog to reach into a bin of toys and pick one out but last night she did so I couldn't resist buying it for her. It's a ludicrous toy for a dog her size. It's a stuffed snake that is twice her length. But it was worth it just for the amusement on the ride home. I put it in the passenger seat for her and she grabbed a hold of its tail and dragged it into my lap with her while I was driving and then proceeded to wrap herself up in it and lay down for a nap. I just about squeaked over the cuteness of it all.

I'm giving her big kennel to J at my work because she just got a puppy that is going to grow up to be bigger than Pixel so she can use it more than I can at this point. I've got it in my car for her today. That was fun to listen to all the way to work....

I've got therapy again today. Talk about light... I thought I had graduated but the crisis center says I haven't. lol. I have a regular doctor's appointment in May and I'm going to tell them that 10 mgs of Paxil is NOT doing the trick and to up it or I'm not going to even bother taking it anymore.

I'm thinking of taking a trip out to Arizona in August. I know it's totally random but I've gotten to know some people from that area recently and there is a big Jehovah's Witness convention out there where we could all meet up and hang out. I doubt I'll be reinstated by then. I've got some stuff to straighten out in my life first before I'm ready to have the responsibility of telling people that I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses. But maybe by the fall...

My New Apartment

After only having to view a few places, I found an apartment. It's not the Webster one, which is disapponting since it would have been nice to be down the street from Sarah and Paul. But it's only about a half hour from them, and 20 minutes down the road from my parents. Whether that's good or bad remains to be seen. :)

I am very happy with my one bedroom apartment. It has plenty of room for me and my pets and it is very cute. My mom and I just cleaned the whole place like mad today and it's all set for me to officially move in on Saturday. hell yea! I am so excited.

This will be my first time actually being on my own and I can't wait. I've already started decorating. I'll post pics when I can. John kept the nice digital camera which sucks so I've got nothing for now but once I save up some money that will be one of the first things I buy cuz I really can't live without a camera.

Peaks and Valleys

I was going to hang out at my parents' house for a while, save some money, settle in a bit. But I've decided that after getting married when I was 19 and being out of the house and semi-on my own ever since then, there is no way I can tough it out under Mom and Dad's roof for too long.

Kirsty put a deposit down on an apartment a couple towns away over the weekend and we came up with the idea that I should move into her place that she's in now. That way we can each move at our own pace. Her apartment is ideal because it's a one bedroom, it's on the same street as my work, it's in my price range, AND they take pets. So we found out I could have it but then Kirsty thought it would be better for her to stay there and save some money since the other one she found is more expensive. So that was disappointing but it's cool because I have some other leads.

There's a two bedroom in Webster for only $550 and there's a place in southbridge for $715. Southbridge definitely allows pets and I'm going to see the place tomorrow. The one in Webster isn't definite. He's checking with the other tenants to see if they would mind Pixel living there. We shall see.

In the meantime, Kirsty put a deposit down on that apartment so they might make her take it anyway in which case I would get her apartment. It's stressful trying to find a place with pets. Drives me crazy. Pixel is going to be the death of me, I swear. Everyone takes cats, but no dogs.

I'll probably know a lot more about a few of the places tomorrow. Stress is no fun.

Memorial and not so smarts

The memorial was lovely last night. Brother Castinguay gave the talk. He treated it as if no one really knew what the event was about so that people who weren't JWs wouldn't be lost. I kind of liked it that way. There are never enough seats in Southbridge because the Kingdom Hall is so tiny so my mom and I had to split up. If I weren't disfellowshipped that wouldn't be awkward at all. haha. But Monique let me sit with her which was nice. All the Elders were smiling at me and Dawn smiled at me from her seat too. God I miss Dawn. She really is a great friend.

So our license keys group took over this other type of licensing on Monday. It's been a looooooong week. We have a lot of stuff that we do anyway and now this is adding about five hours on to our work day. Whew. We've been wicked busy today. We had a few hours of training yesterday with one of the guys from the group (who looked a wicked lot like Mark from "rent", kind of neat). It's helpful and all, but I am still a bit lost. I generated a bunch of licenses today and if they're not right. . . . I can't help ya. lol.

I'm on call this weekend which sucks. Not that I have anywhere to go. I'm probably going to be helping my parents clean out the house. My mom's last day of work is today and then she has tomorrow and all next week off for spring break. At least that way some stuff will get done. I really don't want to continue living out of my moving boxes....

Put on a happy face

"Have you ever been committed?"
"No, but could we try that next?"

I went to Riverside outpatient counseling today. After making a trip to the ER last week for drugs so I could sleep, my doctor told me to make an appointment there. I wasn't even sure what it was walking into it this morning, but I guess it's like this emergency crisis short term center with psychiatrists and therapists and all that good stuff.

I chatted with a woman there for about an hour about all sorts of uncomfortable stuff. lol. I get to see who I will now call "the pill doctor" next thursday and I see Megan (the woman I talked to today) next Friday. Joy.... my life is going to be filled with doctors appointments again. But at least it'll be filled with drugs too. :)

Pixel, Amelie and Gunther are loving life in the country. So am I. Pixel now runs around in the yard without her leash. I still stay out there with her and call her back when she wanders too close to the fence, but she's doing well. she plays with Molly and Kumba out there and it's great. pretty soon she'll be snuggling up with them on their dog bed.

Amelie rules the upstairs now. She walks out on the beams and she has free run of the few bedrooms and bathroom up there. She even has a pretty pink collar in case she does accidentally get out of the house. But both Mom and Dad have assured me that won't happen.

Last night I had a lot of fun. I hung out with my friend Eric from high school. We went to Applebees for dinner and we also went to walmart to get soccer balls. I'd say "don't ask" but that's probably too random. He's going on a class trip with his little brother to Equador of all places so he's bringing stuff like that with him. But anyway, it was fun to hang out again. I missed hanging out with all these people from high school. It's good therapy. :)

Stones in the Road

Wow, nothing makes you feel 16 again like moving back in with your parents and staying in your old high school bedroom. It's quite an experience. John and I split up so I'm here for the time being. I've got Pixel and Amelie and Gunther with me and I have to pick up the lovebirds this week.

I missed last week of work due to being sick at the beginning and then the move and stuff. I couldn't sleep very well. Let me tell ya though - ambien, xanax, and paxil all together work wonders. That'll knock you right out.

Pixel is already bossing around my parents' dogs Kumba and Molly. she bit Molly's nose yesterday. Brat. And Amelie has decided that the upstairs of the house is hers.

As weird as it is to be back home, I think it will be good in the long run. I'm going to take like a year to regroup. We'll see how much of that time it takes me to get reinstated and such. Who knows. In the meantime, I now have an hour drive to work, $10,000 of debt to take care of somehow, a whole ton of animals to incorporate into a new household, and the cleaning out of an entire household here so that I won't have boxes and boxes of my and my parents' stuff in my new bedroom here. it's going to be chaotic for a while. I"ll let you all know when I'm back in the land of the living. for now, wish me luck that I don't get fired at work tomorrow over all the drama. I really really need that job. Welcome back to hicksville USA.

Here, truly, there be dragons. --Stardust
