All my SG friends suck for not leaving me notes!
Well, not really. But not one comment on the metal bar I put through my ear? Hmm...

Anyway, I updated my website today, which I do all too rarely. New birthday pics, etc.

I hardly want to update my journal, because the last entry had eight notes left. That's more than I'm going to get again, ever! Thanks, guys.

My birthday was awesome, it was a blast. I'm not one for birthdays, and I don't usually enjoy celebrating mine, but I'm glad I did this year. That's right guys, eighteen years old. Whoo.

So for gifts, I got the digital camera from my mom, James and the Giant Peach on dvd, posters of the Nightmare Before Christmas and Cowboy Bebop... and the gift I gave myself. It's not remarkably amazing, but for me it's a big deal. I posted a picture in My Pics.

I really enjoy it, but gods... it's painful.

Anyway. There's this guy (yeah, that's what always gets me in trouble...). We met a little over a year ago, both opened the Pets Mart I work in. The moment I met him, I think I fell absolutely in love with him. We were both dating people at the time, unfortunate... when my relationship ended, I asked him out, to find that he was in one. By the time his ended, and he asked me out, I was already dating someone else. Argh! Anyway, I broke up with my last boyfriend about a month ago.

So this boy's been away at basic army training for months, and I haven't heard from him. I actually dreamed last night that he called me on my birthday. I woke with a smile, but didn't expect anything...

To my surprise, I actually got an email from him today, wishing me a happy birthday, and telling me that he'd just "graduated" from basic, and is on his way home tomorrow. When I finished the email, I got to talk to him online for a few moments! We're supposed to be spending time together soon!

Back to the birthday thing, sorry this is long... got my license renewed, had a couple holes put in my ear, my dad took me to dinner, then my friends took me out. After eating again, and playing games for a bit, we watched Army of Darkness, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Frankenweenie. Mm. All in all, a great birthday!

So, today's my birthday. Isn't that exciting? Just wait until you guys see the gift I'm giving myself. You're going to love it... or, at least, I am.

I fully expect birthday wishes. From everyone. Just to see how many I can get, really... if I'm ON your aim buddy list, I'd BETTER have birthday wishes messages from you.

I wish I could write something meaningful and interesting. But I'll save that... for tomorrow.

*puts on red shoes and dances the blues*

Mm, Bowie. So, yeah, long entries... bad idea. I usually write like hell, but this just doesn't seem the place to talk about every little thing.



In case anyone missed the update in the previous entry, I finally figured out the My Pics thing. So I've got some now. Anyone got ideas/requests for what I should post?

Mmmm, some late night bellydancing exercise is just what my body needed; it feels like it's solved all my life problems. My muscles feel all warm and relaxed... it's wonderful.

My poor baby is molting, so he's grumpy. I guess I would be uncomfortable with feathers poking through my skin, too. But it's not so much fun if I don't have someone (him) to cuddle with at night.

I so just add people that leave me notes as friends. Ha, hope that doesn't make me a bad person. But then again, whatever... if you don't want to BE my friend, fuck off.



Maybe someday I'll get myself into trouble with my lovely digital camera... but for now, I only cause small amounts... For instance, I stayed out much too late for getting up this morning, took lots of pictures, and then updated my website. http://www.noamericandream.com Check those out.

Speaking of new things, I think I'm doing pretty well in life right now. Not that any of you know me or anything, but... Since I graduated in June, I've gotten myself a new car, a new phone, a new camera... my mom got a new parrot... you know, stuff like that. I'm all set. My job, though, oy... as much as I love it... they trained me for a promotion for months and months... then when they realized I'd enrolled at a community college, let me know that I could get the promotion if I went to school. Sorry, I don't want to make a career out of Pets Mart. Especially not after being there at ungodly hours (8am) this morning.


Okay, fuck that part of the entry, it was useless anyway. So, the point is... I've finally figured out how to post pics in the, well, My Pics section. =D That makes me happy. Now if I can just think of something good to post pics of...

Have a good night, guys.

Yaaaawn.
"I love the smell of Europe in the morning!"

Okay, no, I'm not in Europe, but I do love Eddie Izzard. Don't you love being able to sleep a couple more hours, but your parrot deciding that you should be spending time with them, instead? Conures are the cuddliest things. I sure love my bird like nothing else, but ye who interrupt my sleep, beware...

I got a digital camera for my birthday, which is in a couple days... yay for having more useless pictures...

Mmm, Tomb Raider. Not.
Yes, I always go see new movies.
Anyway, I've loved the Tomb Raider games for ages... I won't review the movie for you.

Not looking forward to working every day my family is out of town... for once, I'd love to just take a break from work and do nothing. Maybe someday. I asked for some time off, but they apparently can't spare me right now. Oh, well.

*obligatory pirate*

I just have to say, the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack is even better than I expected (yes - I've seen the movie twice; Johhny Depp is my current desktop item). Who would have known, Klaus Badelt?

Let me explain...
My name is Kestrel, most truly, though many shorten it to Kes. You can find (meaningless?) facts about myself on the left there... though I've yet to come up with all the answers. I'm nearly always online... AIM at me sometime, or take a stroll around http://www.noamericandream.com for more details, savvy?

I have no friends. I have no comments... I have nothing! Whoo! Actually, I've not really a damn clue what I'm doing, but that's alright. Either someone will straighten me out, or, more likely, I'll finally get it...

So, I joined. Welcome, welcome. Tra la la...
