Mysteries and Books and... Psychics?

So Der Boifriend, his older sister Ro and I were walking around later tonight, just chilling and we decided we should go to B&N. So we did and we were walking around looking at journals for Rubles, my badminton buddy, some Star Wars books, I pointed out the fact that Battle Royale is the ORIGINAL Hunger Games, and is better written, pointed out a book for UP (which is in my top 10 of movies, along with The Hobbit, Bed-knobs and Broomsticks, and many classics from my childhood~).

Apparently, Ro loves amigurumi, which is new to me. I know she crochets and is learning how to knit, but I didn't know she liked something so Japanese. She's very stoically Irish and American (I blame homeschooling for all of her life), but I was pleasantly surprised. BIRTHDAY PRESENT IDEA~

So we were looking around and I found a plushie version of Bilbo Baggins. Complete with fuzzy feet, his red coat and a little scarf. And Sting. Which is a necessity. But no Gandalf, which made me sad on many levels (I was planning to buy him for Der Boifriend, but since there was none and they probably won't get a shipment before Christmas I decided against waiting and bought him something else. HAHAHA I'm not telling my love~) (<= He reads all of my posts.)

Anyways so we were bored and were walking around and Ro and I decided to go to the mystery section of the store and flip all the books around so you saw the pages and not the spines.

And I got a picture!

Sorry Barnes and Noble clerks!

It took us about five minutes of furiously turning them around, one by one so that they were still in order. It was really fun actually. Now I know why being a deviant is so desirable... it's quite thrilling doing things you're not allowed to do normally.

Anyways that's basically all I did today. I slept in until noon, watched TV while I was painting my mom's Christmas presents, and then played Battleship over facebook chat with Der Boifriend.

And it was really funny too. We wrote the 10 by 10 grid on a piece of paper, one for each of us, and began to play. I beat the crap out of him. It wasn't really a competition. I hit 17 of my 27 tries. And most of my tries were next to the ships. He hit 10 of 27.

This just adds to the fact that he thinks that I'm psychic.

I finish everybody's sentences, I know exactly what they're thinking and say it out loud, I tend to be very lucky with games like this (card and board games), I have dreams where the dream comes true and so on and so forth. So once I was bored and chatting with him and Bean online and took a psychic test.

My result was (while I was actually trying) was usually somewhere close to 65%. And the probability of it was close to 30%. That added it on to. Bean was thoroughly convinced that I'm psychic. I tell him there are none but whatever.

Speaking of which, Bean's a funny nickname isn't it? He wanted to be Bane... like the character from The Dark Knight. So while he, Der Boifriend and I were chatting online (which we do quite often until the wee hours of the morning and I fall asleep) he told us that. So Der Boifriend, being the weird Celtic boy he is spelled it Baen 'cause it looked cooler and you pronounce it the same.

And so me, who was very tired and didn't read it right decided to call him Bean.

Poor poor Bean... He doesn't even like the name... Oh well whatever. He's used to being the verbal punching bag of the group. For some reason he just sets himself up like that ALL THE TIME. Der Boifriend and I think that perhaps he does it on purpose...

Headaches and Books and... Pirate Skulls?

So today was one of those days...

I slept in, napped for two hours after school and then am still tired now...

I blame it on the weather! And the fact that I stayed up until about 1:30am reading a book my friend lent me. IT'S SO GOOD. Oh Em Gee... Hahaha! I can understand the main character/narrator's perspective so well its like it was written for me.

Other than that I've had a headache for a while now. I have a feeling I'm going to have a migrane all month. I have to deal with finals starting soon... (though I only have one class) and then my work decided not to allow us to request time off so we have to change our availability... which is not always checked. And if they don't allow it... I'm going to have to figure out how to get somebody to cover up to five shifts of work... all to go to my grandparents in Santa Barbra and hang out at their house for a couple days and then have Christmas Eve off. 'Cause who doesn't want to spend Christmas Eve chilling by the fire and drinking hot cocoa?

Which I meant to get a recipe for earlier today so my mom and I could make our own but I took a nap instead.

Which most young people think is an 'old' thing to do, but if you have a headache it's one of the BEST things that you can do for it. Seriously. If you have a headache, or get them often, WATER and NAPS are your best friends. Try not to take aspirin and stuff too often. After a while those things won't work as effectively as they did before so you'll have to take more, and then you'll have a massive chance to overdose on an OTC drug.

Hee hee. The OTC dude looks like the OTL man. In my sleepy mind he does. It's just the OTC man is a contortionist and the OTL man is just a normal human being.

Anyways in my art class that I'm taking I just doodled a couple things... nothing special really. But the group that I'm always around makes a HUGE DEAL about whatever I do. I don't know... I guess they're good? Anyways when I get around to taking a picture of the scarf from last time (Here) and then the stuff from this time I'll get to showing you.

I am a procrastinator. Or at least... I will be when I get around to it.

So after my art class my friend happened to be driving by in her car and decided to give me a ride. So I got in and both of the back seats were down. Which is odd but whatever. So I sat inbetween the middle seats and the center console by the driver and shotgun seat in a crouch. And I noticed something.

She'd taken down the drooping ceiling fabric, painted the whole thing black, and turned the roof into a picture of a skull and cross bones with the caption "Dead Men Tell No Tales". Which is perfect for her car.

'Cause it's the Black Pearl.

No joke. It has two decals on either side of the sliding doors, it has a decal on the front (all skull and cross bones) she has a Jack Sparrow Mickey Mouse antenna ball (you know those things...) and she has a pirate hat and a sword that she drives around with. She wears the hat. And when there's a passenger (used to be me before and after school during high school) that person who's riding in the shotgun seat gets to brandish a sword everywhere.

It's quite fun...

So now her car is even more like the Black Pearl. Now I just need to get her a small antenna flag or those ones that Ambassador's cars have... You've probably seen them. The flanking double flags that flutter as you drive. They're great.

Anyways the book is CALLING TO ME. I should get about to reading it... along with the five other books people lent me.

If you have a suggestion for a good book please comment. I'm always looking for something to get off my Kindle. I don't think I use it often enough so now I'm making more excuses to be on it more often.

Now if I could just write my notes for class that'd be golden... I could... but I'd want a keyboard.

TO THE INTERNET~
