Y HALO THAR.

Welcome to the LJ of Jaysta.  Consider this an introduction post.  Don't worry, most of this journal is public, so you're not missing much.

Or you can use this post to spam me if you want too.  BRING ON THE SPAMMM.


But anyway.

I'm sort of a curious person, so if I've not already friended you, why not leave me a comment here and tell me how you found me?  I'd like to know where my readers are coming from, even if this will be the only time you read my journal.  =]

Anyway, for the newbies, here's what you can expect:

  • Random ranting- It was the reason I got an LJ in the first place. You don't have to agree with it, but as it is my Journal, it is MY opinion, and you will respect it. Feel free to debate with me, but be civil. I'm open to new ideas.
  • Angst/ups/downs about my life- As this is my Journal, some things will be a bit personal in nature. They may be f-locked or not. Depends on post content.
  • My opinions of current movies/books/whatever- These posts will most likely contain spoilers. Said spoilers will be behind a cut and have a 'spoiler' tag, so they will be easy enough to skip if you don't want me to ruin it for you. That being said, if you read the post anyway, don't flip a shit and say you weren't warned. You were, you just ignored it.
  • Power Rangers stuff- Yes, I talk about it a lot. If you don't like it, don't read it. Don't bash my obsessions and I won't bash yours.
  • Various reviews of my television addictions- I rant a lot about Survivor when it's on the air, and there might be some others, but that is the main one.
  • Hockey posts- Possibly more ranting (seeing a pattern?). Hockey is a big part of my life and I talk about it a lot. Deal.
  • Pictures of my artsy fartsy stuff- I mostly knot friendship bracelets and show them off when they're complete.  Yes, large pictures will be under a cut.  I don't want to break anyone's Friends Page.

Oh, and just so you potential frienders know, I've been known to update this LJ anywhere from two or three times a day with random things that are on my mind or that I find interesting to posting nothing for a week or more.  So beware, I could potentially take over your Friends page.  Oh how awesome that would be.


*** Oh, looking for my hockey related posts as of September '09? ***
I decided to put them behind a filtered cut to save my friends who aren't in the hockey world the trouble of them overtaking their Friends page.  If you want on it, let me know here and I'll be more than happy to add you to it.

Dear Dumbass on my floor,

Thank you ever so much for smearing your crap on the bathroom walls and getting the entire floor fined.

No love whatsoever,

-- Jaysta.



As sad as this sounds, it's completely true. My RA informed me of this earlier tonight. Some idiot actually took their poop and smeared it on the walls in one of the bathrooms on my floor. My bet is it's the same person who's been leaving their boogers on the walls all year too.

And no, there are no guys on this floor. It's all girls. I didn't know girls could be this nasty. I mean ... *shudder* That's some new kind of low right there, folks.

Granted, the fine will be split between the entire floor of like, 50 people, so it will be a dollar or less most likely, so I'm not that concerned, but that's just downright disgusting.

... almost as bad as someone taking a dump in a shower in the other bathroom last year and it sitting there for three days.

Also, totally OT, but is anyone else not getting emails anymore for new comments? I haven't gotten any emails all day even though people have been commenting on stuff. :/ [Yes, I have emails turned on. I checked that obvious reason.]

Day 20 → A hobby of yours

I make really awesome friendship bracelets.

I learned how to do a really basic one when I was about six. Granted, I did it wrong so it curled really bad, but I liked them. As I got older, I learned some more styles, got more ideas, and in the last few years it's just kinda EXPLODED to the point that I can "crack" a bracelet just from looking at a picture and make my own patterns of just about anything.

Yes, I know I'm awesome. Thank you for acknowledging it. ;)

First off, another meme from a couple days ago that I'm just now getting around too:

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!

In other news, I'm getting so sick of going home all the time. I went home yesterday so I could be drug tested to work at Frito over Christmas and we decided to get a tree while I was there. Dad was raising holy hell about it.

He's been scrooge since we moved to Tennessee because he hates the fact that we cant really afford to "do" Christmas. He doesn't want a tree if we can't put anything under it. Seriously... get the hell over it. I don't care if there is stuff under it or not. The first year we lived here, we didn't get a tree for that exact reason. And you know what? Worst Christmas ever. It's Christmas, there will be a damn tree in my house. End of story. So now we have a tree and Mom and I put some lights on it. We left all the ornaments and stuff for Liz to do so she could do something. Whatever.

Holidays with my family are just hell. Ugh.

Uh... I can craft the shit out of just about anything? Heck, I really don't know. Really though, I'm good at just about anything craft related, be it knitting, crocheting, sewing, you name it. Jack of all trades in the craft world, master of none.

... aaaaand that's all I got. I kinda fail when it comes to this meme today. :/

... Oh I have just the song.

The Other Little Soldier -- Josh Gracin





The first time I heard it, I actually DID cry. It just really hit home because my dad is a military man.

Just... the bit at the end about the salute ... ugh I'm getting teary just thinking about it.

Day 15 → A fanfic

I really don't read much fic of anything anymore but back when I did, I was big into Power Rangers fic. This one is probably the only one I found worth reading. It crosses my favorite season [Ninja Storm] with the old back-in-the-day Ninjetti from the first movie. And... I really have no words for it. I spent three days buried in it because it was just that good.

So have at it.

I am ready to kill my roommate.

She set her alarm for 6am this morning. Now, that I can live with. What bugs me is the fact that she hit snooze until 7:15.

So every fifteen minutes I was forced to hear:

beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

because she just HAS to let it get loud before turning the damn thing off.

Honestly, I don't care if she wants to hit snooze once or twice. That's her right since this is her room too. Three times, you're probably gonna push my buttons. But five times?! I'm sorry, but that shit pisses me off because I have a right to sleep too.

So now I'm all ASDKLJKLSJDFJSKDFH this morning.

... oh dear God. I've got so many I could use for this. How the hell am I supposed to pick just one?!

I can't just do one. So here's two:



Expiration Date by Eric Wilson

It's about a guy who touches you and can see how much longer you have to live. I really need to go back and reread it. I probably will after New Years, because Lord knows I probably won't be able to finish the Narnia series before then. But it is on my list. I will get to it.



Next:



Unwind by Neal Shusterman

This one... surprised me. I grabbed it on a whim 'cuz it sounded halfway interesting. Boy was I in for a ride. This one is about a world where if parents don't want their child anymore or just can't handle them, they can have the child "unwound", which is like ... body transplants. Anything from organs to entire limbs. It follows the story of two (?) kids as they run for their lives until they are considered too old to be unwound. That's like, the crappiest description ever, but trust me, it's worth your time if you like to read.

Day 11 → A photo of you taken recently

I swear I didn't realize that would be today's topic when I did this.

I dyed my bangs blue a little while ago.

Why is this picture so big? I swear I shrank it! )

I've had the bottle of dye for entirely too long, so while I was getting out of the shower this morning, I thought "Why not?" The green came out nice so what could go wrong?

But yeah. It will most likely wash out in a week or so, even though it's supposed to stay for four to six weeks. It just makes me all the more tempted to do my entire head since all it sticks to are my bleached highlights. Then I would have nice turquoise highlights for a week. That would be pretty rad.

Maybe I'll do that at Christmas...
