Sehra vs. The Semi of Satan

So, I was driving downtown, minding my own business, being a conscientious driver as usual yesterday. There's a bunch of roadwork near the city and I always drive the speed limit because in areas with roadwork all speeding fines are doubled. I don't like to pay fines. So, here I am puttering along at 55 mph in the slow lane when the Satan Semi pulls up behind me. This giant semi is a garish shade of yellow and from the moment I saw it I knew it was trouble.

The first thing Satan Semi decides to do is tail me. Close. Really close. So close that all I can see in my rear-view mirror is the grill of Satan Semi. Now, I know semi trucks take longer than a regular car to stop and if I stop at this point, all I will be is a skid mark below Satan. At this point I would like to share that the passing lane is wide open.

This continues for around 10 miles. And then, the catastrophic happens. I am quite familiar with the city, so I know that at this one intersection, even though the other lane has the yeild sign, sometimes I have to yield because the yahoos in the other lane don't yield. Yet again, I do not want to be in an unnecessary accident. Unfortunatly, Satan is still behind me. So, I slow just a fraction to make sure no yahoos are going to hit me and Satan decides that this marginal slow-down is compleatly unacceptable. He lays on his horn. Not for just a second, not a couple times, but in a one minute long uninterrupted blare. I do not exxagerate. A full minute of horn.

I hate you Satan!!!!!!!

Feeling Boxy?

And this was only the beginning......

Alive!!!

So after an unnecessarily drawn out moving process.

(Items arriving in separate pieces on separate days. Having to resign the lease twice. Door knobs not functioning.)

I have relocated into my new cozy apartment. I'm quite pleased. The only problem is that there seems to be some kind of holdup on the cable/ethernet. The apartment club house says it's the cable's fault. The cable says it's the club house's fault. It is just terribly over-complicated. So, I might be pirating the wireless from an unknown benefactor in my building. But still! I'm alive, and oh, how I have missed all my SL friends.

And, I'm in time for the Hair Fair. Damn, I have good timing!

Oh! Tag!

GRRRR! (RL) MOVING SUCKS!!!!!
(angry face for moving)

All my moving drama has been putting a cramp on my bloggage lately. (Sorry!) I just been preoccupied with putting things in boxes and refinishing my new bedroom set. But, I look at my blog and feel all guilty. (And even more guilty about WTF, I neeeeeed to post there...) So, I thought I'd do a little something. I decided to answer Cen's little question thingy. Yay!


5 things you don't know about me in RL:
-I cannot tan, I go outside with the intention to tan on a regular basis, but all I ever achieve is getting a sunburn and a few more freckles.
-I am a compulsive cleaner. I just find myself tiding up all the time.
-I hate going on vacations where there are no flushing toilets. I need toilets, and preferably electricity.
-I love dogs. They are pretty much the best pet ever. So happy and loving.
-I'm seriously afraid of heights. Ladders scare me. Sometimes stairs scare me. I know, it's really sad. :P

5 things you don't know about me in SL:
-I get really scared of people who randomly say hello to me. I just have an irrational fear that they are creepers or something. (I really need to get over this...)
-I have an obsession with tee shirts. When I see them in stores I am almost compelled to buy them. That and bikinis.
-I constantly prowl past notices in all my groups.
-I am always displeased with the shoes in my inventory, even as I accumulate more.
-Sometimes I'm shy to start conversations, but I love it when people start them with me! (As long as they are not random new people, then I get scared.... see number one in SL.)

Random Party Fun

A belated hump day party happened tonight and the fun and craziness really hit the spot. I love how when we all get together there is a certain synergy and our quirky-ness feeds together. It was a smaller crowd (prob because of the evening change) but it was mighty.

Oh yes, mighty.

And we all kind wore whatever crazy stuff we wanted to. I was a tiki girl, then a latex angel, then a regualr angel, then a chihuahua headed angel. Overall, it was fun!

Pretty!

So, I caved and bought a new skin by Gala. And, guys, I really love it! It's so fresh faced and has adorable freckles all over it. I honestly cannot stop staring at it. And luckily I don't have the "Alicia Syndrome" where Gala skins make me look like I'm wearing Sai. (If you really want to know hop over to Ch'know and read the entry.)



Sorry, I can't contain it: Squeeeee!
