7:59 am	Give me a head with hair So. This morning I walked into work with my giganto cup of Sheetz Coffeez, feeling as good as one can feel when it's early in the morning and the coffee at the gas station was mislabeled, forcing me to buy some ghastly flavored sludge accidentally instead of the delicious House Blend I intended to buy. Anyhoo, I walk through the doors of our building and the secretary, this extremely southern, sweet, scatterbrained, kind of freaky woman says "Lindsey, I brought something for ya this mornin'". I'll confess, my first thoughts were of donuts and I got really excited. But no. She reaches into her desk and pulls out a...HEADBAND. And then she says "Thought you could use this." That's it. No other explanation. I said "Thanks" and walked away to the snickering of my co-worker, who has already committed the physics-defying feat of infinite mocking in the space of fifteen minutes. *Sigh* My hair sucks with the force of a thousand hurricanes.

8:58 am	Spiders This morning in the shower, I had an encounter with the biggest spider I've ever seen outside of tv or the zoo. The thing was monstrous, and that ain't no exaggeration. I've been trying to identify it all morning. In terms of size and the type of spiders commonly found in Virginia, it would most likely be a wolf spider, as they are generally the only native spiders that ever attain large enough dimensions to be the spider I saw. But the shape is not quite right and the legs were longer and less hairy than typically found on most wolf spiders. The shape is more like that of a brown recluse (in terms of leg to body proportions), but I believe it had eight eyes, as opposed to the six the brown recluse has, and I didn't notice the violin-shape on its head (though I've heard that it's not easily discernible on all brown recluses). Besides, it was too big to be a BR and BRs aren't really native to Virginia, though I guess bites are reported here each year. Anyhoo, it's driving me mad. I guess it was a wolf spider,but that doesn't seem quite right. Any spider experts out there? (3 Comments |Comment on this)

9:00 am	Slash Today is the International Day of Slash, according to one website I read fairly frequently. I don't know what this important holiday entails, but I will celebrate it in the only way I know how - by reading lots and lots of LotR slash fanfiction at the Library of Moria website http://www.libraryofmoria.com Woo!

8:12 am	Bizarreness Yesterday, I undertook the Herculean task of cleaning my bedroom. I recently bought me some fine plastic storage bins to, like, store stuff and I wanted to clean and organize my room with their help (they also do a little light dusting and vacuuming). Anyhoo, I got completely distracted reading through my old notebooks from various classes I took during grad school. In my Criminal Law notebook, I came across this fabulous quote - "I don't know what I want to do with my life. Maybe I'll just practice my cursive and work on remembering to write 'I' (this I is in cursive) instead of 'I' (not in cursive)." Good stuff. The time I spent writing deep thoughts such as the one above may be why I absolutely cannot remember the hearsay exception rules. Or maybe I just don't care to remember. Whatever.

11:40 am	I love Jesus hehe. This may be my new favorite site ever. http://members.aol.com/JesusImages/index.htm And dude, if I had a nickel for everytime I've had a dream like this, well, I wouldn't be buying the store brand Shake 'n Bake, I'll tell you that for free: "I was awakened in the middle of the night with a clear, vivid impression that the Lord wanted me to do some special drawings -- drawings depicting ordinary people in their everyday environment . . . . with one important addition: the presence of Jesus Christ and His involvement in those routine activities."

8:09 am	Lord of the Rings Well, I watched Lord of the Rings again last night, probably because I've recently become obsessed with LotR slash (mostly Legolas-related). My new realization is that I'm in love with Christopher Lee - that voice...those eyes...those sunken cheeks. mmmmm. I don't care how many bad movies he's been in...I still love him. Or maybe I love him more because of all the bad movies he's been in. We're getting married....mainly because I could take his last name and be Lindsey Lee and that's a damn cool name.

8:04 am	Dogs suck too I know that only yesterday I was singing the praises of dogs over cats. Well, I've changed my tune and key...now I sing in D minor, the saddest key. Last night started so well. I met one of my roommates at the tennis courts after work, we played some tennis, wordlessly mocked the skankarific girl in the court next to us who held her racket with one hand, a cigarette with the other, and generally sweated a lot (oh wait, I didn't sweat...I'm a delicate female - I perspired alluringly). Then, when we arrived home, our other roommate informed us that two of our three dogs had escaped...while she watched! One of the dogs was my very own Mika. So my non-tennis playing roommate and I set off into the woods, beginning an adventure that would change our lives. The odyssey began at approximately 7:30 p.m. By the time 9:30 p.m. rolled around and the skies had darkened, much had happened. Among the wonderful things that happened: I cut my leg on a barbed wire fence (the blood made a totally cool lightning bolt pattern), I found and removed a total of three ticks from various parts of my body, I ripped my beloved free HBO shirt squeezing through a barbed wire fence, and I became increasingly overcome with the fear that my beautiful baby had been hit my some bastard scumbag travelling way too fast on our small road. At one point, when Sarah and I were slowly cruising the nearby roads, she had the gall to ask 'Is that Mika?', referring to the slumped, crushed shape at the side of the road. I learned in that instant the true meaning of the phrase "my heart stopped". Anyway, it turned out to just be an enormous, dead raccoon. So, finally, at around 10:00, we were walking back down the driveway AGAIN and heard rustling...and then, in the light of my flashlight, Mika appeared! She was sopping wet, smelly, and had clearly been rolling in one of the many nearby cowfields. But at least she was safe. Now all we had to do was locate Bryson...which we did moments later. He was gleefully chasing some sort of animal in a cowfield (it wasn't a cow...something much smaller, maybe a rabbit, cat, skunk, whatever). Anyhoo, we ended up essentially having to break into the cowfield to get him out. It was a fun-filled night and ended with Mika in a temporary catatonic state after I accidentally sprayed ice cold water up her, eh-hem, Hershey highway when I was attempting to clean her. Whoops!

9:36 am	The horrors of the basement Last night, summoning all my courage and drugs (yes, I have the power to summon drugs - it's why I was invited to be an X-Man), I descended into the basement. Recently, due to copious amounts of rainfall, our basement flooded. It floods fairly frequently, but this time, according to my roommates, it flooded "buttloads". This means our litter boxes were flooded and their foul and revolting contents were spread on the floor, leaving a sticky, icky paste. After ignoring the problem for days (the poor kitties!), I finally headed down, saying to myself "Scholar, it seems we've to storm hell." Now, I don't want to brag about my cat, Pip, but she has the phenomenal ability to actually use the litter box to do her bidness. The other cats? Not so much. So I blame them for the horrors that awaited me. I'll admit up front, I'm no saint and I've done some bad shit in my life (like the time (or times) I referred to my sister's voice as 'whispy, hollow, and meaningless'...sorry, Sam), but I didn't deserve what those cats did. I will spare whoever is reading this the gory details of my time in the basement, but my innocence is gone. In conclusion, I've decided to like dogs better this week. Sure, I'd be lying if I said my dog hasn't made a mess on the floor before - who hasn't? But...BUT! There is only one of her and that makes all the difference. (6 Comments |Comment on this)

3:08 pm	My First Entry Wow. This, as the subject implies, is my very first entry in LiveJournal. You may either thank or despise my beloved sister, Sam, for my foray into the journaling world. Hmmm...what did I do today? Well, I went to Target and bought some kitty litter for our four cats and some storage bins, for which I'd received a gift certificate for my birthday. I know it probably goes without saying, but storing stuff rocks so hard! So far, I've done nothing else but work today, and that always brings me down. I just know in my heart that I was meant to be a lady of leisure. The world has played a cruel trick on me. (6 Comments |Comment on this)
