Introducing...
I thought I would introduce y'all to my xbox live avatar -- reigners... 
This does not look anything like me, as some people like to do for their
avatars. Well, I mean, I do have red hair and I'm short, and I am probably that pale, and I do sometimes wear pig tails, but I'm not that skinny or you know... a vampire. Also, I would never ever wear a skirt like that. This is more like wishful thinking. What would I like to look like if I could. Yup, this would probably be it.
So, thanks to the wonderful world of avatars, I can look like that online, while playing dorked out games that I love.
The pic on the left is my gamertag picture or whatever that is called. How I took that picture with my avatar's eyes closed I will never know. But it's cool, so I kept it. I know, you're jealous. It's okay, many people are.
Latelly I've been playing all the Lego games. Lego Indiana Jones, Lego Star Wars, and I've recently just started Lego Batman. I also have the new Prince of Persia that I need to start too. But I've been in the puzzle-y mood so Lego it has been. I also think that I may be moving my time from xbox to knitting. I'm like that ya see. I do things in phases, in an all or nothing way. I do one thing and I do it a lot and I mean A LOT. Then I burn out or just get over it and move on to the next thing. I feel like I'm in a transition stage at the moment between xbox and knitting.
We will have to see what wins out.

- so much to do... so little time left until tomorrow morning. #
- back from camping-my face is burned, I have bruises I don't remember getting, and my ribs hurt (from laughing, I think). Excellent weekend! #
- been listening to lily allen's new album and not loving it like the last. But, "F*** You! F*** You very very muuu-uuch!" is just classic. #
- mornings hurt. #
Knit 1, Purl 1
So, I've taken up the knitting. I've just started, but I think I'm really going to like it. It's good, tedious, repetitive fun. I am most definitely a beginner. I can't get my edges very tight. They always seem to end up loose. Also, 
as you can see from my example.. I messed up by doing 2 rows of purl stitches. I was able to correct this without undoing it AGAIN. I think I've started over about 37 times. I got a book and then I got a DVD cuz the book was confusing to me. The DVD rocks cuz it shows you and explains stuff and each section is seperate, so essentially it teaches you a lesson then stops so you can practice. When you're ready, you start up the next lesson.
On a completely different note, we went camping this weekend with some friends. We went out to some land with a primitive cabin near Mason, TX. We were there from Saturday afternoon to Monday morning. Saturday night was just killer awesome. Our friends had their 3 kids, and brother there. We played Catchphrase while the grownups got silly drunk and we had a friggin' blast. I had so much fun, that I ended up getting up in the middle of the night to go pee and added a bit of hurling to the list. I think it was more from the sweet wine I brought and not drinking enough water. Cuz I wasn't THAT drunk. The next night was much more somber, cuz all the kids except the youngest left. It was no less fun, but it was definitely a different fun.
We also ate at this one cafe there called Willow Creek Cafe. I think we ended up eating there three times. It was lishous! They had meringue pies with the highest meringue I've ever seen on a pie. I think Mike has pictures on his website, so I'll try to grab one or something.
Ok, just a quick random update. Felt like I needed to write something. So there :P

25 Random Things About Me
Ok, I did this for Facebook, but I ended up digging it quite a bit, so I'm duplicating the post here. I'm also doing this in response to a tag I got from a fellow EntreCarder... Pinklady. Thanks for those that tagged me on this! It was hella fun.
1. I have very little sympathy for humans, but can cry over road kill. Animals are at our mercy people.
2. I have written 4 paragraphs of a vampire-type book I want to write. But that was over a year ago. I feel like me and creativity no longer know each other.
3. I eat meat, but I CANNOT deal with raw meat. It's gross. The vegetarian husband cooks all my meat for me :D
4. My house burning down was one of the best things to happen to me. Except I lost all of my yearbooks.
5. I still feel like I'm a kid. I seriously don't want to grow up. (Mom, I'll never dress like an adult. It's just not in me.)
6. I have a screw in my left fifth metatarsal. I broke said bone while walking on a flat surface, wearing flat (but 2 inch soles) shoes. According to my husband, I went to the "Aggie School of Walking". I will never hear the end of this. Also, if I sit cross-legged with my left foot on the floor, I can feel the head of the screw.
7. I cannot seem to grasp the importance of taking care of myself. The basics are painful to me. Eating, sleeping, drinking water, facial regimens, makeup... These things take way more work than they should. My husband has to constantly remind me to eat.
8. I desperately want a female BFF. Someone I can call and just chitchat with if I wanted to. Or even better... show up at her house and just hang. What a friggin' concept.
9. Not only do I absolutely adore Justin Timberlake, but I have a really unexplainable love of all things catchy and poppy.
10. I really love listening to Rap/Hip-Hop at insanely high volumes.
11. I know a lot of ladies think they are gross, but I only use OB tampons.
12. I wouldn't be brokenhearted if I never have a kid. I'm just too spoiled and selfish.
13. I cannot be the person who breaks a spine on a book. I read a book just opened enough to see the words.
14. I will never not dye my hair anything but red. It's an obsession... or a mistake by nature. I should have just been born that way.
15. I'm seriously contemplating getting gastric bypass/lap-band.
16. I have a word doc for every television show I've ever watched. I keep track of what episodes I have & have not seen. Don't judge.
17. I scan in every single receipt that my husband and I get. Granted, it does help with taxes, but still. It's kinda weird, I know.
18. I've been rejected by SXSW twice for the same short film that I wrote/produced/edited, but I'm still giddy that I even have something to submit to a film festival. Hollah!
19. I feel like I talk too much, and am far too open with what I talk about, so that makes people not like me. (Perhaps reason for lack of #8). You'd think this would shut me up, but I think it just proves that nothing can shut me up.
20. I feel like I'm maybe two bad incidents from being an agoraphobe.
21. I'm damn proud of my 2 years in individual therapy and the 3 years in group therapy, and have never been afraid to tell anyone. I'd highly recommend group therapy for pretty much anyone. I think we as people really have no clue how to communicate with others with any degree of decent depth.
22. I really dislike it when someone touches my fortune cookie before I do (excluding the server, of course). Most of my friends/family know this and are very good about it. Thanks buddies!
23. I adore monotonous, tedious, even repetitive tasks. I'm about to take up knitting. It'll be a BLAST!
24. If I ever get a tattoo, it'll be on the top of my foot. Possibly a Shakespeare quote. However, I can't quite get to that level of commitment.
25. I miss my eyebrow piercing.
