I am so upset at the moment, I could cry. I know it is only a vehicle but is the only one I have and I love my car. Tonight I was watching American Idol. (I know some people don't like American Idol), and when it was over I heard a loud Bang. I was hoping it wasn't what I thought it was. So I went downstairs and my brother-in law is calling saying my car was just hit. I went running outside with the phone still in my hand and I saw the car up the street. I started to Yell "Get the Hell back here" as they started to speed away. Of course they didn't come back. Could it be because the crazy lady was yelling to get back here. So I called the police. They came out and took pictures and found a piece or two of the other car.

Now I have to call the claims adjuster tomorrow to see what I need to do. I am hoping my car can be fixed, but I am not sure. So now on top of worrying about my job I now have to worry about my car. If they can fix it or if it will be totaled and I will have to buy a new one which I can not afford.

I don't know what I am more of, sad, upset, or mad!

In the Ghetto.

I know a lot of people don't like Elvis but as I was growing up I loved his songs.  I have so many favorites of his but one of my tops is In The Ghetto this song still makes me sad when I hear it.

I have decided I am the worst poster when it comes to posting about the books I have read.

We still don't have any news at work about the re-org and it is praying on my mind.

Recently I had watched two anime's that I really love.

Now onto how many books I read last year vs previous years.  
( total books read 2011 )

Okay that is all for now.  I promise in the next month or two (notice how I don't say days or weeks) I will post some more of the books I read in the past.  Just have to unbury 2009, then start to find 2010 :)  (I should just post 2011 since they are all surrounding me. :)

I am wishing all of my LJ friends to have a Happy and Safe New Year.

Heading downstairs to get ready for snacks, food and playing games with my family. Hoping everyone enjoys their night. Talk to you all in 2012 :D

NOTIFICATION

I hereby announce that I condemn CI YAOI - http://community.livejournal.com/ci_yaoi - for what they are doing. They steal download links and files from scanlation groups, post and reshare the files without permission from the groups. They have no respect whatsoever to the people who buy the books, scan and translate those projects.

I condemn them and I won't have anything to do with them. I don't tolerate such actions. I hereby state that I am not a member of CI YAOI community and I will never steal from any scanlation groups or re-share without permission.


I do not belong to CI Yaoi but from what I read on one site they are asking for people to get them information and stories from groups that are locked down. That isn't right! Groups lock down their membership because of people not following rules. If everyone followed the rules I don't think the groups would be locked down. I think it is wrong for what they are asking and doing. 

Just got done wrapping the last of my presents, need to go down and make a batch of cookies and head to bed. (I know it is already almost 1:00am here but I need to put the cookies in so they cook overnight) :D

Hoping all of my friends on Livejournal have a very Merry Christmas and enjoy the holidays.

I just saw this on the front page and I wanted to do it.  Here is the question

Once upon a time…

What is the first line of your favorite book?


"Somewhere in the world, time no doubt whistled by on taut and widespread wings, but here in the English countryside it plodded slowly, painfully, as if it trod the rutted road that streched across the moors on blistered feet."


The Flame and the Flower by Kathleen E. Woodwiss

I know I was suppose to do a book update but I am so sad at the moment.  One of my favorite bookstores is closing.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303661904576454353768550280.html

I thought Borders was having bidders but it looks like they are going to liquadate.   I am so sad.  Mainly because I have come to think of the people at the bookstore that I go to as my friends and I am so sad they are going to be losing their jobs.  I know I will still be able to keep in contact with them on Facebook and maybe livejournal, but it is not that same as going in and talking to them and seeing them. 

My heart goes out to my friends at Borders and all of the other workers I am hoping even though this economy stinks that you will all be able to find jobs and will be okay.

I am also sad that we are losing another bookstore chain.  Other then B&N there isn't any other bookstores around here.  I think it is the same in many other cities.  All of the bookstores seem to be going away.

I will miss Borders and seeing my special friends at the Exton Borders!!!

Over at one of the groups I belong to they are having a competition for you to write down your favorite Bl couple.  At first I immediately thought of Atsushi and Masayoshi from Kusatta Kyoushi no Houteiski by Kazuma Kodaka, then when waking up Sunday morning I was thinking of what icon to use (I know silly) and I thought of one of my other favorite couples Chiaki and Eiji from Cut by Toko Kawai.  So I really can not make up my mind so I will do both.  I have many other favorite couples.  But I will go with these two for now (Smiling)

I can't believe I did it again and skipped a month.  I was getting already to do one in April then we had issues with livejournal, and now I am behind again by about 10 days.  (At least it isn't 20 again).  But I did  have to update good reads to be able to finish up August 2009.  ( Health )

Ordered new glasses today and have a new trial pair of contacts.  ( Glasses )

Sad that another publisher is shutting down and it is not just manga it is also the Yaoi being affected.  ( Tokyopop/Blu )

Sorry didn't mean to go into a rant again.  So here are the rest of the books for August 2009.  Making progress :)

Books - Along for the Ride

Manga - Comic, Castle of Dreams, Kimi Ni Todoke

Well that is all for August 2009 :)

Until next time, I'm not even going to try and say maybe another this month or every month.  I feel like I am in a time warp where I am losing hours, days and weeks!
