1:59 pm	I figure it is about time for an update Well, where to begin.... Scott and I moved in August, due to a host of circumstances, namely his looney toons mother. We are enjoying apartment life, it was an adjustment from the big house, things such as I can hear him playing video games when I used to not be able to hear it from upstairs. Things with him and I am great, still going strong without our first major fight, it is awesome. Work is good, same old stuff. I now have a lucrative part time career waiting tables at my local Applebees. I didn't realize how much money there was to be made working in a well run restaurant. Other than that, no big changes.

7:05 am	This interview thing from my brother. He loves me so much he wants to know stuff about me :) 1) Where is Phred? I have no idea, I promise I did not steal him, although secretly, I wish I had. Mom, Dad, and my best guess is he is in your stuff in the basement, I can look through it if you don't mind next time I am at the house. I remember you had him in your first shoebox in Boston, I am thinking when you came home for a short stint, he never made it back to beantown. 2) How has your first few weeks living with Stosh been going? Very well, we still have yet to have our first real fight (which is a huge change for me, I was always fighting with the dickbag). The only bad thing is that his dog (Obi) ate the entire sofa pretty much, and we had to buy a new one. But that is fine with me, his couch was ugly. Had the first weekend living there when he had his kids, and his younger son (whom you will love due to his complete lack of social appropriate filter from brain to mouth) asked me "Larissa, do you sleep naked?" I emphatically stated "No Kevin, your father and I always sleep with clothes on." To which he replied "Ok, I just ask because sometimes when people are boyfriend and girlfriend they sleep naked together." Stosh's best conclusion is that Kevin must have walked in on their mom and her boyfriend sleeping nekkid. Haha. 3) When are you going to stop smoking? I may never stop, sorry. I know how bad it is for me, but I just can't seem to muster up the courage to give it up. 4) Do you ever get afraid at work (in the jail)? I have yet to be afraid for my own safety, it is a very well run jail, where the officers are in charge (the popular theory behind correctional facilities are there are two kinds "inmate run" and "Officer Run.") What I am more afraid (and more sad than afraid) is that with the local state psych hospital (Greystone) closing parts of it, and no longer taking anyone with a history of criminal charges, we are going to see more and more mentally ill people ending up in jail. Which sucks, but it keeps me in a job I suppose. But no, I have not run into any inmates who scare me yet. 5) What's more annoying: Multiple Sclerosis, or the fake sympathy you get from douches who inadvertently find out you have MS? Absolutely the fake sympathy. I made peace with the MS a long time ago, and so far so good. What I can't stand is people who are just fucking nice to me because I am "sick." I know I make a lot of jokes about MS, but if anyone is too fucking stupid to realize that is my coping mechanism, how I deal with the stress, then they are simply an oxygen theif and should be spanked with moon rocks. I love my family and friends, because they have all at least made the effort not to treat me like I am going to fall apart. I am tired of new people I meet giving me the "oh, so you are going to die soon huh" look when I happen to mention it. If I wanted fake sympathy from strangers, I would go on a fucking talk show. I feel bad for people who feel the need to feign sympathy, because I am too cunty to do the same for them. Ha! Actually, I am just too honest. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

5:48 pm	Finally I got my first tattoo today....did not hurt too bad...I was expecting much worse. It is on my back, right below my neck. I love it..... I am too dumb to figure out how to post the pic....so if you really want to see it, I will e-mail it to you. I am so excited about my trip to Jamaica, I will be sitting in the shade all day, and partying all night....and of course by partying I mean dancing and drinking soda :) (Comment on this)

5:35 pm	The guy across the street told me this last week and I have been meaning to post it. Warning, George W Bush joke ahead! So George W Bush is having a meeting with military officials: Military Guy; "Mr. President we have some very bad news, three Brazilian soldiers were killed today." George W. Bush; "Oh that is terrible.....how many is a Brazilian again?" This made me laugh very hard! (Comment on this)

5:14 pm	Concert Last night Casey, Jon, Suzy, Stacy and I went to see System of A Down at Continental Airlines Arena. They were awesome, and we had great seats, even though they were not on the floor. We were off to the side of the stage, so we got to see all the action. Suzy was upset we were not on the floor, and he sat down the whole time. After looking down on the floor several times, I have decided it might not be as much fun as it's cracked up to be. We missed the first opening band Bad Acid Trip. The second opening band The Mars Volta, sucked a big one. I imagine this is the kind of band you need to be under the influence to enjoy. The only cool thing about them was the one singer was able to sound like both genders when he sang. They played for about an hour or so (one long song). Then System came on and the show got going. They did an amazing set, and I caught myself jumping up and down quite often. One thing puzzles me, when The Mars Volta were leaving the stage, they shouted "you need to stop buying your music at Wal-Mart." Anyone have any idea why? Casey wondered if it was because they sell any of their shitty music at Wal-Mart:)I would like to know, because if there is a good reason, I will not but my music from Wal-Mart. Hope all is well out there. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

10:14 am	Good news for me ! I got a call from my neurologist on Friday night around 8:30pm to let me know the results of my MRI. I said "hi, Dr. Husar how are you?" He replied "I am good, and you are very good." He told me there was no change on my MRI from last year, which means at this point, the medication is working. So that is good. Bad news, I have to go for a sleep study because I am not sleeping well these days, and he wants to make sure I don't have sleep apnea. Hopefully I don't, however I won't be surprised if I do. Other than that, everything is peachy keen. I had no idea my brother was away for so long, I thought he was on a short buisness trip. Guess I was too caught up in my own crap to absorb what I was told about his travel plans. I have found a new comedian I like, Dane Cook, I think he is quite funny. I saw a play "Jewtopia" on Sunday, it is an off Broadway production. If you or anyone you know is Jewish and you need a gift for them, I highly reccomend this show. Even as a Gentile I was able to understand almost everything (thanks to the Yiddish to English dictionary in the playbill). I have not laughed so hard in a long time. Although the tickets were kind of pricey for off Broadway, but I don't know if my friend searched hard for a good deal. Hope all is well with you folks in LJ land. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:54 am	Nothing Much Alas there is nothing new with me. I am sitting at work sipping my coffee, and avoiding my co-workers. I saw the Devil's Rejects last weekend, and I loved it. I thought it was so much better than House of 1,000 Corpses. I don't know why, probably because Sherrie Moon was not laughing that horrible laugh throughout this one. Funny, after the movie while we were at the Diner, Casey and I began a discussion on whether or not she likes having the name Sherrie Moon Zombie now. Casey thinks she can not possibly like it, I say she probably does given the kind of personality required to marry Rob Zombie. Plus, who would not want the last name Zombie right! Sadly, that was my excitement for the past few week, other than some time with my brother and sister which always rocks. I have my semi-annual(That phrase makes it sound like some kind of clearance sale) check up at the neurologist next week, hope everything is still in order in the old noggin. (Comment on this)

4:13 pm	Update Nothing new with me lately, I have been fighting a cough for a few weeks now, but hopefully it will clear up soon as I have finished all the medication I was given. My parents got a really cute new puppy Ollie Dave (my dad wanted to name him Dave, so it became his middle name). He is 3 lbs of cute and I can't wait for my brother and the lovely Corinna to meet him! He seems to get along well with the Prof. Chaos, so hopefully they can be friends. Excited for this weekend, as I will get to see my family, hopefully they will make it for the fireworks on Friday but I am not sure. That is all for now, like I said, nothing new with me.

I am very excited for my bro and the lovely Corinna to come to Hopatcong this weekend! I have not seen her in so long, and I miss my brother. I am excited to see him no gimpy.

3:41 pm	Interesting Someone should tell all the hitch hikers out there that yelling "pick me up you fucking bitch" is not the best way to get someone to let you in their car! A man yelled this to me today on my way into the office. And I thought the people I ran into in New York were crazy! Although I must admit, when I saw one homeless man peeing on another homeless man in NYC, had to be one of the highlights of my tenure there. (Comment on this)

7:37 pm	Fucking MS For the first time since I started taking this injection to "control" my MS seven months ago, I experienced the worst side effect it has. About 5 minutes after the injection, I felt tightness in my chest for 45 or so seconds (yes I looked at my watch). My face turned a shade of red I have never seen before, and my head was so hot I thought it would explode. Once the chest tightness subsided, I called my mother who calmed me down (even though I think I riled her up). This fucking disease sucks donkey balls. I wish there was a way to get rid of it, maybe in the future. The worst part was for those 45 or so seconds of chest tightness, I honestly thought I could die. At least I know I can get through it should it happen again, although I can't imagine it is good for my heart to go through that. Whatever, I will get over it. I am just glad this curse landed upon me, and not my siblings. They have enough on their plates. I love them too much to let them go through this shit. Oh and what shit it is :) This post was not meant to make anyone feel sorry for me, I just wanted to vent. I love venting, especially when foul language is used. Fuck Fuck, Shit Shit. (sorry mom, I just like to curse). (Comment on this)

11:18 am	Thank you unborn child I want to thank the unborn child of my co-worker Rebecca (pretty much the only person I can tolerate in my office) for forcing his (they know it's a boy) mother to crave hot dogs and root beer. Without this unborn boy, I may have forgotten how much I love Stewarts hot dogs and root beer. When we were coming home from a great training on Tuesday, she was obsessed with the idea of hot dogs, so I suggested Stewarts. Those of you who do not know Stewarts, sucks to be you. For those of you who do, apparently there are none in Bergen County where Rebecca is from, so she was hesitant to take my suggestion. Once she sampled the sweet nectar know as Stewarts root beer, she was unable to stop raving for the rest of the ride home. Thanks Desmond (that will be his name)for forcing your mother to eat relatively unhealthy stuff! Can't wait for you to be born so I can formally thank you with gifts! (Comment on this)

10:10 am	New show Just wanted to let all of you out there in LJ world know about a hilarious new show I watched with my father this weekend. It is called Invasion Iowa (or Invading Iowa I don't remember). It is with Bill Shatner (as they call him on the show) and it rules. I thought it was going to suck given my aversion to all things in the sci-fi realm, but this show kicks ass. I have honestly not heard my dad laugh that hard in quite some time. I am not going to give the details of the show, just trust me and watch it. It is going to look stupid for the first few minutes, but give it a chance, and I promise, you won't be let down. I am pretty sure it is on the Sci Fi channel, but I will double check with my pops and get back to you all. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

2:56 pm	Just another Manic Monday Nothing much new, my hip is hurting for some unknown reason, perhaps I have arthritis after all. I hope it goes away soon. Still love my short haircut, but I will probaby need a trim in about 2 weeks to keep it healthy looking. I am debating whether or not to get an IPod, as I am planning to start walking a few times a week now that the weather is a little better. My dilemma is that I have a tendancy towards singing when I hear music, so I am thinking it would be wise to walk while listening to books "on tape". Hopefully this will keep me from looking too crazy around the complex. We shall see! (Comment on this)

11:39 am	oh how mundane All is well with me, the new medications are going well, although the one to prevent migraines is no longer putting me to sleep which upsets me, because I was getting great sleep from that side effect. I am really liking my haircut, however as I expected, I can not put it up, but whatever. I am loving my job, however some of my clients are driving me nuts. But for the most part, I love them all. I have to go to court today for a very messy case, in which the mother won't admit she can't take care of her son, so she is trying to gain custody of him even though he does not want to live with her. I feel since he is a teenager, he should be able to decide, so he is coming to the courthouse today to tell the judge what he wants. This is always a good thing, the judge actually enjoys hearing from the kids. It is starting to snow today, which is pissing my off, I don't want to see anymore snow for a very long time. That is all. (Comment on this)

11:03 am	In a weak moment I came into my office today, and discovered the Girl Scout cookie fairy visited me, in the form of our lovely secretary Bev. I forgot that two months ago, on what I like to call a "fat day" I ordered three boxes of cookies. So now staring me in the face, as if to test my commitment to Weight Watchers, are two boxes of Samoa's (the most delicious cookie known to humans) and a box of these delightful chocolate cookies. Now the dilemma, do I waste my flex points (the extra points I am alloted each week) and eat some cookies, or do I hold out and figure them into my regular points tomorrow. I have already figured out what I am going to eat for the rest of the day, and historically, if I mess with that, I fall off the wagon completely and just eat like a hog. What to do, what to do. In other news, I had my hair cut yesterday, it is now much shorter than it has been in some time, to about the middle of my neck. I like it, but we will see how much I like it in a week, after it has been poking me in the eyes for a week. The other side effect of this haircut is that I probably can not put it into a pony tail, which might suck. But whatever, I happy with my decision. I am very bummed about the NIN situation. I was not able to get tickets, and the tickets on e-bay are ridiculously expensive. While normally I would just bite the bullet and pay the money, I have grown up expenses now, and need to save my money for them. maybe I can figure something out, I really wanted to see them, but maybe I am just not meant to. Want to give a shout out (as they say on the radio) to my big bro, and hope he is feeling better, and once again thanks to Corinna for taking such good care of him. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:20 pm	not much Nothing much new, went to Atlantic City, won some money, Casey lost a lot of money. I am hoping to get tickets for NIN on Friday, however I will be relying on a friend to get them since I will be far into farm country in NJ with no access to a computer and shitty phone reception at the time they go on sale. They are playing Hammerstein in May, and they are playing with "the Dresden Dolls". I have never heard of them, but I checked out their website today, and they seem pretty decent. I hope I get tickets, as you never know when people are going to stop touring. I am not however looking forward to the impending contact high I will get at the show. While I am not positive I got one last time, I am pretty sure I did. The medicine is going ok, it still burns like a son of a bitch, but what are you going to do. I have my 6 month check at the neurologist next Wednesday, hopefully everything will be ok. That is pretty much it, I am still loving my job which is good. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

3:39 pm	I am so proud! I did something today which I have not done for a very long time. I parallel parked my car without difficulty. I have done this maybe 3 times since my drivers test 7 years ago. In other news, this guy in my office has gone from mildly annoying to a great pain in the ass. I cringe when I see him come around the corner. That is all for now. Current Mood: pleased Current Music: nothing (Comment on this)

9:53 am	My Glorious Posters I finally got a few moments to run to Wal Mart yesterday to purchase frames for the great posters my bro got me for Christmas. I showed them to my current boss (who is leaving at the end of this week) and she loved them, luckily everyone in my office has a great sense of humor. I just hope the new boss (who starts on Monday) likes the posters. I love them so much, I can't stop looking at them. Luckily, I don't quite care much what people think, so if they think I am bitchy great, less people to bother me when I am working. If they are too dumb to realize they are sarcastic, too bad for them. The posters say the following, (now it is important to picture those cheesy inspirational posters that typically say something about Kindness, or Friendship with a big mountain or a child on them) 1. Procrastination : Hard work often pays off after time, but Laziness always pays off now. 2. Pretension : The downside of being better than everyone else is that people tend to assume you're pretentious. My family rules, only they would buy me such sarcastic artwork for my office.
