Alarm with Headache

I think it was around 6:43 am...maybe it was 5:43...I don't remember and my vision was kinda blurry.
What was I doing up that early on a Saturday morning?
Perhaps I should have been watching cartoons lol.
But no, a headache made it's presence known that early.
And I got up to kindly kick it out the door.
But I wasn't the only one up today.
Oh no.
Around that same time.
The fire alarm alerter...is it just a fire alarm? hmmmm
was beeping.
Not in the
GET OUT NOW THERE MAY BE A FIRE!!
beeping.
No it was the *sniff* My battery is low. Please change it. My battery is low...please please change it.
It would beep every...thirty seconds to a minute I think.
I would have gone and changed it right then.
Only...it was coming from Kikay's room.
So I tolerated it.
It was basically like my phone alarm clock.
Except my phone goes off every five minutes for one minute.
This was just...every thirty seconds.
I ended up dozing off to that annoying sound.
Why?
Because it was in Kikay's room.
And her door.
Is No-oy-see! (Noisy)
And if she wasn't getting up to fix her fire alarm device.
I didn't want to be the one to wake up her by going into her room to shut the thing off.
So I waited...for like another couple of hours.
And then went into her room.
Yep, woke her up.
But, I managed to stop the beeping. ^^
Yay!
That was an interesting way to wake up. :)

Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

Foiled Again

I dropped by the FA today. Where my sister works.
Why?
Well, the Parentals had come into town ^^
For an Appreciation Dinner for the LDSSA Council.
And they wanted to say hi to Kikay as well while they were down here.
Only she was at work.
Sooo we dropped by the FA.
Which...can be a bit of a risk to me.
Why?
CharRoHanse has it in for me to actually Fence.
lol, I've been lucky the past few times...because I show up to pick up Kikay when there isn't enough time for me to change into FA gear and pick up a sword.
Well, today. The parentals and I were dropping by a bit earlier then normal.
Like half an hour before closing.
Which would give me plenty of time to change and try out fencing apparently.
lol. CharRoHanse looked so happy to see me.
I could see it in his eyes.
Finally! Sarnic has come! She will now Fence!
And then I stepped fully into view.
Foiled again he was.
Why?
lol the Appreciation Dinner....
was a dress up occasion.
And we came straight there.
Which meant...
yep.
I was in a dress and heels. lol.
And as much fun as it would be to fence in a dress...
I probably shouldn't do it for my first lesson.

Hehe. I actually knew this before I walked into the FA.
^^ Hence why I had no hesitation upon entering.
I was safe because of my heels and skirt.

>.>
I don't think I can try that trick again next time though. lol.

If anything Kikay will sneak an extra change of clothes to the FA.
and then CharRoHanse will say "HA! CHANGE! YOU'RE FENCING!!"
And I'd be like ()_() :O HOW?!?!?
And change and go fencing lol.

But for tonight. ^^ It worked. :P

Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

Three Reasons to Serve

It's fun to randomly help out someone.
Like DaBo yesterday with him forgetting that class started. lol.

But yesterday, there was more service available.
Though my motives weren't fully pure ;) lol.
Yesterday there was a Men's Appreciation Luncheon at the Institute.
-The Women had an Appreciation Luncheon last month-
Yep yep ^^ Ladies first lol.
But it was the men's turn this time around.
Where the guys get to eat food for free!
(they got wings, potatoes, and ice cream bars. Ooo. -Girls got chicken salad sandwiches, chips, and a brownie. ....I like potatoes more :D lol even though the sandwiches were on croissants ^^ which are delicious)
And while the guys eat food for free...the girls serve them :) dishing up their food and taking away their plates when they were done. (guys did the same for the girls)

I ended up getting out of class early. So I went and volunteered.
Why?
Three reasons.
1.) Guys deserve a little love every now and then :P
2.) I wanted to check out the guys. ;) You know, see if there were any cute ones.
and
3.) I was hungry.

You see, if you volunteer to help out...you get to eat the food as well after your shift is over. :D
Baked Potato for me! YES! :D haha.

Yep, totally selfish of me to volunteer. :) But I had fun anyway serving the guys ^^ lol.
I liked seeing their faces light up when they saw the food and they could have it for free ^^

But after my shift was over, I didn't stop serving. :)

You see, there was a guy I knew of, who was dedicated to his mentoring group, and couldn't come to lunch. Sooo I brought the food to him. :)
lol it was worth it to see the gratitude on his face. ^^ Because I think he was really hungry, from how he responded to my texts. lol.
Yay for service! ^^

Now.... >.>
<.< where are those potatoes?

^^;;; (I did get one when I was done to eat ^^ It was delicious!)

Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

The Dream

I can only remember there being three people. Two girls, tall, wearing robes, pale, kinda creepy looking next to a shorter woman...the red headed woman from the Lorax. With her red hair in straight out pigtails. There was something...creepy going on....
But that's all I can remember :(

((Radar one))

So there I was.
Walking to school.
Minding my own business.
Thinking the on the way to school thoughts.
I looked up.
And there it was.
Parked on the sidewalk.
A black bus.
It was like the Home Makeover bus. Huge.
But black.
And I wondered.
>.>
<.<
Is...something going down?

Is this some swat team bus?
something from the army?
Why would there be a random bus on the SIDEWALK?
As I walked parallel to it I saw words on the bus.
((Radar)) one
It said.
I was like O.o
Either that's a....radio station.
Or its a movable FBI action center thing.
I halfway expected there to be men in black suits walking all over campus.

No such thing.
I got to class.
Hopped on my Ipod Touch.
And googled it.

Well...it's not some secret agent thing.

Apparently the bus...is a mobile movie editing film thingymababer.
Where the bus can be taken on location to movies.
And the movies can be edited and other movie technical wordy stuff done.

So I was like
Oh :(
Then I was like OOH
>.>
<.<
The movie bus....is at my school.

Which means....there must be a film or something being filmed!
I did see a couple of people with film cameras and tripods.
But they looked like other people I've seen around campus throughout the year.
I thought they were just practicing filming stuff for a class.
So perhaps the people I saw today -they looked studenty- weren't with the Radar bus.
What then was the bus doing there?
I don't know.
But it still feels very secretive to me. :)

Speaking of sneaky and secretive.
I did a little sneaky sneaky today as well.
You see my last class of the day....
the teacher was late to class.
This teacher was DaBo.
And I'd had him a couple hours earlier for my other class.
So I knew he was still there.
So at 10 minutes after the hour.
I quietly got up, left the room, and knocked on his office door that was nearby.
He opened the door looking at me very confused as if wondering why I was there and interrupting him.
I smiled and politely asked "Are we having class today?"
He looked more confused. "It's not time for class."
"It's 10 after the hour"
()_() Oh. "Be right there."
lol so I went back to class and sat down and thirty seconds later he showed up.

>.>
<.<
And I don't think anybody noticed what I did lol.

They probably thought I went to get a drink or something.
So I felt very sneaky sneaky. :)
Like I should be working with that black bus or something lol.

Unless the bus was holding a bunch of super powered teenagers (you know...like x-men people) who were working on blending in with the campus crowd.
Then...I probably shouldn't be with that bus lol.

Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

The Dream

I was in a war. Like a civil war. Happening on the road above my school. People were fighting. I think there may have been dinosaurs.
I was with a few other people. Making my way to the school....getting rescued by Goliath..the gargoyle. and it seemed like when we were in the fort tree house thing. and a women...a sorcerer I was with. It seemed like she had just found out she was pregnant, and then....she was full term. It was like the magic made her progress faster....

....daydreaming later I was searching through the fridge looking for something to eat. I saw some peas. Some of the mac and cheese from last night. And I decided to mix them together.
Just then my roommate Kah walked in. She was hungry too. so we were talking about sharing our food. I offered her some mac and cheese and she apparently wanted it..though she'd mentioned yesterday that she didn't like corn in stuff....

then the unholy tones of daylight pulled me away....
and I became myself again. :)

A Partnership

DaBo was talking in class.
About hands.
And how they can have personalities of their own.

I would have to agree.

I think my left hand is a trouble maker.
How else would it get so many injuries? lol :)

While my right hand, is more docile. the 'silent' helper.
Where it does its job without complaint. 
In so much, that it takes me time to realize that I do use my right hand alot.
Even if I'm left hand dominate.

My right hand is willing to help.
Just in case my left hand gets injured.

When I was younger I decided to practice writing with my right hand.
So in case my left hand got broken, I could still write.
The same concept went for signing as well.
If my left hand became injured...which it has recently (remember the spoons? left hand had to adjust to less work.) I would be able to sign with my right hand.
I can finger spell with both of them pretty well.
An I will occasionally use my right hand to sign when it has the better advantage. :)

lol it's good to know my hands have a good partnership worked out.
The left hand will do most of the work, and get into most of the trouble.
But the right hand is there to support and will take up any slack if my left hand is unable to do the work. :)

Hopefully though, I can convince my left hand to fully recover before it gets hurt next time. :)

Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

Mirror Mirror




















I didn't have any pictures of review mirrors.
But I still wanted to talk about mirrors.
It's been kind of fascinating actually.
It must be the change to Spring around here.
But, whenever I'm stopped at a light.
I catch myself watching the people in the car behind me in my review mirror.
Some people just stare 'back at me' meaning they're just looking ahead.
Others are busy dancing.
Other's are busy having conversations with their passengers.
I feel a bit like a spy when I check that mirror.
Because they don't know that I can see them.
But then I wonder,
When I'm sitting behind a car.
Are they looking at me?
And if they are....
should I act crazy one of these days...
just on the off chance that they are?

Dunno. But it's still fun to check that review mirror, and see who is behind me. :)

Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

The Dream
I was Kim Possible. And we were at a retreat type of place. It seemed like a cross between a resort for people and for animals. But anyway, I was in the house with my 'mom figure' an older man, and a couple other figures. And things were looking suspicious...
I had this moment where it was like an outline form: First I would do this, then Kim would find out this, yadda yadda.
And then I did it.
I snuck outside and was hanging out on the roof, beneath a window where the adults were talking.
And they were talking about me.
How they needed me to do something.
Whatever it was, it didn't sound good. My mom was against it.
But the older gentleman insisted.
And then they realized...I'd heard everything, and the man came after me.
I ran for it. getting off the roof and dashing into the forest.
Because I had to escape from this compound place.
I ran along a bank that seemed man made and looked down and saw a man in a row boat.
That was full of a green grey silver hair type material. It reminded me of truffula trees from the Lorax. but the man was pulling the 'hair' out of seaweed that grew in this pond.
I asked for him to help me.
And jumped into the boat to hide among the seaweed hair thing.
But...he took me to the man!
And suddenly everything was explained and became clear.
They wanted me to be on a game show where I could win a bunch of money.
Oh....I'd run around for basically  no reason.
Then we were in the attic...and Stark was there...being re suited. Because he'd turned evil. We had this battle....and now we were fixing him so he could be good, but we were limited in technology.
His ironman suit was still basically intact, though silver/black in color. But the technistuff. the visual stuff you can see on your retina display...were limited to an old tv screen and computer that were in a cabinet. I'm not sure how he was going to get anywhere like that.
He also had two rings that we fused together. One to help him control his suit, the other one, was evil, but we made it good by fusing it with the other ring so that it wouldn't fall off.
I had a view of him flexing the hand with the ring its blue and red stones glowing

before the unholy tones of daylight pulled me away...
and I became myself again. :)
