Up for sale at 20.00 so far is the Sailor Moon Memorial Song Box. It is a bootleg, but it has the song packet and sounds just like an original. As a bonus in each CD case I've put a listing of all the songs on that CD. There's no marks or skips on the CDs and the box itself as very minimal wear on the edges. It's almost in perfect condition. I know times are hard but if you or someone you know would like this for their Sailor Moon collection, it'd be an excellent addition!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi
If this doesn't work, try searching "Sailor Moon music". It'll have 1 - 2 days left on it, and have a picture with all the CDs open plus the box on a leopard patterned carpet. The title is "Sailor Moon Series Memorial Box Music CDs". I'm ladyphoenix2 on there.
My apologies but this is cross-posted a lot of places!

-- I can't confirm the validity of the following piece, but it was apparently written from the perspective of an anonymous former WWE Diva giving her tongue-in-cheek take on the afterlife of a WWE Diva, largely taking aim at her peers and the numerous fans that attend wrestling conventions (which almost always have a slew of former WWE Divas on hand).
The piece has been forwarded around to numerous wrestling sites, including this one. An interesting read to say the least:
20 Official Rules For WWE Diva Afterlife
Written by a former WWE Diva
1. Don't worry, it will grow back fine... just cut it down and stop bleaching it dummy. Now your natural color will be seen as a "new look" and you will experience refreshed marketability. Take some brand new all natural 8x10's at Wal-Mart and work it girl!
2. Remember you can always bleach your hair again back to the "classic look" to boost your self esteem for a week. If you ever get cancer from the dye, just ask Dawn Marie to sell her unwashed panties through Wrestlers Rescue to help pay for the medical bills.
3. If your just coming off TV, then your used to the schedule. Always starve yourself before every appearance and pig out at your favorite fast food restaurant afterwards. Nothing new. Eating disorders and binging cycles are totally normal and healthy. It's a Diva's way of life, 4-life.
4. If you haven't done so already, you need to go **** either Scott Levy, Batista or Ric Flair before he dies. Do a few lines of coke with them too. It makes for a great tell all shoot and high self worth.
5. The wrestling convention circuit is 10x200. The same 10 money marks will book you and the same 200 losers will show up each time. Milk 'em for all they are worth cause it's all you got left. Virgil will be at every show so you might as well get to know him too. And yes, he is a real creep.
6. Appearing at 3 Flea Markets per week is officially known as "doing a tour". Congrats on the success!
7. Letting men touch your breasts for an extra $5 during photo-ops is an excellent business strategy.
8. If the photo-op printer ever stalls and delays, just give them an index card with your own lip prints on it. It will make their day that you were soooo selfless, giving and thoughtful of their patience.
9. It's perfectly normal to refer to other human beings as "fans", "clients" and "followers" but to their face- always call them "friend".
10. Always smile and play nice with the co-workers you haven't seen in 5 years. These are your "best friends in the whole world"....somehow? That's how the wrestling family illusion rolls on.
11. Treat the disabled extra nice. Them pockets are deep with Social Security money and they spend like mad at the gimmick table.
12. You will never draw like Trish Stratus, you will never look like Trish Stratus and you will flat out never be Trish Stratus... but don't ever stop trying hun'.
13. But yes, I know you are still a big star... right in your head.
14. Even if you got fired, always say that you left "on your own terms" or because of an "undisclosed dispute". This will always make you appear above the business.
15. Always say that a WWE return is "right around the corner" and "never say never" when you know damn well they wouldn't take you back if you begged.
16. When the going get's tough, selling your used tampons on eBay is a great way to make some additional cash.
17. I know the crows feet and wrinkles are building up. It's ok, no one is going to seriously book your used up, worn out ass after age 45 anyway. It's now time to assume the Moolah role.
18. There's nothing wrong with forever living in the past. Tammy Sytch still lives in 1996, and look there's nothing wrong with her.
19. Why have any normal relationships? You can have every lonely pervert from Philadelphia to Oakland lusting after you. Being emotionally unstable is F U N!
20. Remember that Jesus forgives you for all of your sins, so everything listed above is A-OK. Just rinse and repeat.
In closing: Yes this is one sad life but hey it's all you know.... so do it like a professional!

The 135th Derby was just ran. I picked "Mine that Bird" to win, putting 50 bucks on it mainly because the jockey, Calvin Borrell is most excellent.
The horse was dead last at the middle of the race.
AND HE WOUND UP WINNING!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WON A THOUSAND DOLLARS ON THIS BEAUTIFUL HORSE WHO'S ODDS WERE 50 - 1.
Pay THIS lady booyah!!!!!!
And I've never picked a Derby winner. Ever.
DERBY ON!

Long story short - Amazon.com seems to be stripping the sales figures and accompanying rankings from GLBTQ books, erotica, and romance novels, particularly those with what they term “adult content.” Making it almost impossible to find said items in the searches. This includes the classic "Lady Chatterly's Lover".
Yet you can still find obviously pornographic items like Playboy (including a collection of Playboy covergirl covers)...
WTF? In addition to censorship, it's also discrimination. If you're going to do this for the above items, then do it for everything with "adult content". It's also interesting they did it over a holiday weekend when it'd be less likely to be discovered. Although it's now spread like wildfire. Google "amazon rank", it's been made into a Googlebomb already.
Me, I'm spreading the word because I despise censorship in any way, shape or form. And I hate hypocrisy, which is exactly what Amazon is engaging in. Until it changes, I seriously doubt I'll be buying from them any time soon. =/

She has a list of titles that have been stripped of their rankings.
And apparently an amazon spokesperson has been quoted as saying this was a "glitch" and they're working on it.
...Glitch. Uh huh.

 You have firm ideas of right and wrong. You will stand up for your unpopular beliefs with pride. You believe that learning the truth is important. Even if it's ugly, uncomfortable, or awkward. You give it to people straight, and you expect them to do the same. You can't stand ambiguity of any kind. |

I'm finally back to some semblance of normalacy (to steal a phrase from Warren G. Harding) after some kind of sickness kicked my ass from last Monday through yesterday. Still kinda weak with a half empty stomach. NOT thrilled about the work I had to miss considering it's always bad after I've missed some days..
Apparently at some point I croaked for mom to come in and make sure I still had a heartbeat because I couldn't feel mine. And I also asked her if she heard birds outside my window. At like 3 a.m. in the middle of the night. O.o;;
So something kicked my ass hard. I haven't had a normal sleeping pattern in like 7 days though, and I haven't showered since last Tues. So I'm changing my sheets, cleaning my room and getting a shower afterwards. I'm so ready to have a nice big juicy sirloin steak from Logan's....
Bottom line: being sick SUCKS.

Absolutely. I enjoy a particular restaurant (Logan's Steakhouse) immensely and lack of company isn't about to stop me. I take the book I'm working on at the time and when I've had a stressful day at work I go and partake. Plus the waiters/waitresses seem to take better care of me when I'm on my own. It's relaxing and I get a great meal.

Over a quarter of a million people in my state are out of power. Schools are canceled from yesterday through the rest of this week. Me, my work was canceled yesterday and today (*jigs*). Folks from down south that weren't hit by this ice/snow/ice storm are coming up to help us, and the Governor has requested help from President Obama. 26 KY cities are in state of emergency. There were several explosions from falling powerlines.
Temps aren't expected to get above freezing until Sat at the earliest.
Me, I think it's beautiful. The tree outside my room is weighed down by ice/snow, every branch is covered in ice crystals. Gorgeous, just stunningly beautiful. I believe we had Monday night/Tues morning ice, then snow then ice/sleet, then last night 4 - 6 inches of snow dumped over the ice. Power could be out for 7 - 10 days.
Love it. Even if I have to go to work tomorrow, I doubt very much we'll have patients who're able to get in, much less call in. Hell our work places could be out of power for all I know. LOVE IT. The only complaint I have is there's a few groceries/munchie items we didn't get before this hit, but hell. Minor issue.
I'm lovin' it. XD

This one was pretty accurate.
I sense this is another weekend I'm going to waste. Was woken at 3 out of a dream I wanted to keep going (I was with Andrew's family, although I wasn't where I should've been.), snacked, read, lazed around, re-read diaries from 10 years ago up 'til 2004 (skipping parts that didn't involve Andrew), cried, ate dinner and now I'm just surfing the web.
I'm so damn listless, but I'm restless. I have plenty I want to accomlish but no drive and no clue about where to start (re: college). Not that I have the money yet, I've got to get rid of my credit card debt first.
/whining
Poor Victoria. She totally was wasted and now she's retired. Of course, she lives in my city and runs a car custom shop so hopefully I'll see her around, but meh...she deserved better. Lita did too.
The Carl Casper Custom Auto Show is next month and they have yet to announce who'll be there from the WWE. Since I've been into wrestling they've had at least one male and one female there. Foley and Undertaker I regret missing, I went for MJ which was fantastic, and last year was Skanky McCool and Matt Hardy. Obviously I didn't go. The only guys I'd go for are Triple H, HBK, UT. Possibly John Morrison. Females I'd go for Melina, Beth, Jillian and Nattie - so the chances are better I won't be going again this year.
Sad. Thats the only thing I have to look foward to right now. =/
Bleh.
*Edit* Day's not a total loss. I've moved my pictures/graphics/etc over to flickr and re-did/updated my profile page. It's one thirty am and my eyes are blurry. I think I should go to bed.

Thank you for making this
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
chicachellers, I appreciate it so much..It's been a year. I did very well today - compare that to the fact I've been depressed out of my mind since August except for a few instances. I've cried more this whole year than my other 26. It's still a raw wound..
I miss you Andrew. More than words can say. I know you've forgiven me, but I'll live with regrets for the rest of my life.
Maybe in another life I could find you there. Gone away before your time, I can't deal its so unfair, and it feels like heaven's so far away. Yeah it feels like the world has grown cold now that you've gone away. We lay flowers on your grave to show that I still care. Black roses and hail mary's can't bring back what's taken from me...I reach to the sky and call out your name. If I could trade I would..And it feels like Heaven's so far away. Yeah it stings now the world is so cold now that you've gone away. Gone away..
-Offspring
The bed I'm lying in is getting colder, wish I never would've said it's over and I can't pretend I won't think about you when I'm older. 'Cause we never really had our closure...this can't be the end..
-Hinder
Those two songs come the closest, with the first nailing how I feel exactly. I can't hear them now without thinking of him. Mom says this will get easier, and I know it will - but I still can't wrap my head around the fact that I will never get to speak to him again. Even now, after 12 months, after seeing him in the casket.
It hurts like nothing else. I miss him.

Beneath the cut is my book log for 2008. 67 books in total, which puts me under last year's total of 89, but it's because I had more long books to read. Comments, questions and opinions are welcome. ^_^
I had a nice Christmas. Me, my folks, my sister, her son, my cousin, his wife and their sons came over for dinner and presents. Not that it matters but I received:
3 Nutcrackers (one a prince on a rocking horse, one of the Rat King from the Nutcracker, and a Chicago Cubs one - not any particular cubbie, just one with the uniform, bat, mitt, etc.)
The Triple H DVD, and 2008 Night of Champions DVD (which I hadn't asked for, but it does have Katie Lea vs MJ on it so its good)
A couple of books..one on the Hapsburgs, a historical novel "The Tsarina's Daughter" by Carolly Erickson, and one about Empress Charlotte of Mexico (also a Hapsburg by marriage).
WWE Raw vs Smackdown 08 for Nintendo DS
Three tops, one featuring a very nicely done picture of Triple H in grey on black material.
And...
A Nintendo Wii!
Plus the games Wii Sports (came with it), the Godfather Blackhand Edition, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Super Paper Mario and SD! vs Raw 09.
This is the first time I've ever thought a machine was smarter than me, but by golly this thing is. I've got it connected to the internet, managed to connect it to my TV (not all that hard actually), already made my Mii, DLed the Nintendo Station and played some rounds of Tennis & Bowling.
So! Anyone else who has a Wii and wants to Wii with me, I'd love to Wii with you. :D (Providing we have the same games...I'm still so clueless about some of these things, I just know there's a way to play with people who're some distance away from me. Whoo hoo!)
Plus this thing plays Gamecube games. I think the only one I'd be interested in though is the Godzilla game me and Aldous played so I'll have to look for that one.
I'm still not sure how to get Wii points so I can buy some of the older games they offer on the Wii Channel.
But honestly I've been down, mostly because I miss Andrew..it'll be a year this Thursday. I'm lonely and prone to crying this last month. Plus there's been so much death these last few months. Mostly a few of our established patients (a lot of them Dr Weiss' patients - which he noticed), but Jan's mom died last week (a coworker I'm particularly fond of) to top it off.
I'm so sick of death. I'm glad 2008 is over. Except for two bright spots (Becky and Aldous' wedding, and Obama's win), this year has sucked big time. I'm glad to see it end. I really hope 2009 is better.

Whenever my mom closes her door, I want to creep up to it and yell in the loudest voice I can "CEILING CAT IS WATCHING YOU MASTURBATE!!!"
..Which being as she's not into LOLCats she'd be clueless. But then she'd do it to me, just for spite. And being my bad luck, I'd actually be in the very process only to have her yell that at me through MY door.
So I'm keeping my mouth shut. But just barely. =X

Having worked in healthcare around patients for the last 3 years I can say that YES it definately DOES affect our behavior. The week of the full moon we have more crazy people call, more bad situations, more of the general insanity than any other time in the month. I never believed it about the moon affecting people until working as a receptionist - now I fully believe it. I've seen too much not to.

| Which Goddess lurks in your soul? Hecate You hold more power in your little finger than most do in their entire being! Hecate is perhaps the most selective of all deities who inhabit the souls of mortals. Being the goddess of the crossroads, Cosmic Knowledge, and of course witches and magic she can’t be bothered by residing in the souls of the mundane. She often chooses those who practice the craft of the old ways and those who harbor deep mystical secrets that must be kept close. Your soul is old, perhaps having been present at the birth of the cosmos in some form or another. Your ability to comprehend the necessity of death and it’s beauty have awakened a connection to the underworld, where Hecate has been known to reign and you relish this otherworldly bond. Darkness suits you well, as many of the best secrets of the cosmos can be found there.

You are Judgement
Happiness, Content, Joy.
Judgment is related to the Hebrew letter Shin, which is fiery and spiritual. A break from the past, going forward.
With Fire as its ruling element, Judgement is about rebirth or ressurection. The idea of Judgement day is that the dead rise, their sins are forgiven, and they move onto heaven. The Judgement card is similar, it asks the resurrection to summon the past, forgive it, and let it go. There are wounds from the past that we never let heal, sins we've committed that we refuse to forgive, bad habits we haven't the courage to lose. Judgement advises us to finally face these, recognize that the past is past, and put them to rest, absolutely and irrevocably. This is also a card of healing, quite literally from an accident or illness, as well as a card signaling great transformation, renewal, change.

It's 12:44 a.m. I had no idea. o.O
I've been cleaning my room, clearing out stuff, rearranging ever since getting back from Wisconsin. I had a LOT of clutter, and it was past time to clear stuff out. Plus I want a nice space for Athena and Artemis. ;D
The trip to Becky and Aldous' wedding was fantastic. After a pretty miserable year, this was the best thing that had happened all year, and easily ranks with the best moments of my life. Those two were made for each other. And he's a sweetpea, I'm SO glad they found each other. The handfasting was beautiful, everyone was so friendly. It was interesting and Becky had no problems explaining anything I asked about.
The best part was just being with a friend who knows you so well and you know so well, and making new friends. Just awesomeness. Thank you again for having me Becky. ^_^
An extra bonus: everyone I met (far as I know) voted for Obama. So I was free to fangirl and discuss as will without fear of getting dirty looks and possible head smacking like I am here. (And I'm only half joking. Sigh.)
Now I think I'll have a cookie and high tail it to bed.

I am so happy right now I can't even stand it. No one at my work besides one person (and a few of the doctors) voted for Obama...pardon, *President* Obama *squee!*, and no one in my family did as far as I know, so I have no one to really squee and hug and be ecastatic with. Thank goodness for online where I can celebrate with others.
McCain's concession speech was wonderful, he's such a good and decent man. He'll work with the President I'm sure.
I actually cried last night. This is such a beautiful thing, this is actual living, breathing history that I was a part of. This is going to be taught in schools across the world, not just our own country, that only 40 years from when Dr King as assassinated, 48 years from when the '65 voting rights act, 49 when the '64 civil rights act was passed - our country voted in the first African American man to be our President. I'm sure racism had a lot to do with how many states went. That and fear, basic fear that this man was a secret Muslim, that electing a Muslim would bring an Arab takeover of our country (this is actually what one of my coworkers told me as the reason she wasn't voting for Obama - needless to say I was careful not to talk about it where she could hear as she's got a VERY bad temper), or that electing a black man would bring down our country. Racism and fear tried to keep him out. (However I know there were people who had logical, valid reasons for voting against him and that isn't something I have a problem with - voting against a candidate out of fear or racism IS though.)
Hope brought him in. The willingness to give something new a chance. The unwillingness to go with the same old thing.
I am SO proud of my country right now. And to those who he addressed last night that didn't vote for him, all I can say is this:
Give him a chance. Seriously, he's going to be our President for the next four years (God protect him from the idiots out there), it was a clear victory - just sit back, see what happens, and give him a fair shake. What can it hurt? If he's doing a bad job, in four years vote him out. It's simple, it's fair, it's democracy in action.
I'm so proud to be an American right now. I can hardly wait to see what happens next and if there's something that maybe I can do in the future to help. Maybe this is what it felt like when Jack Kennedy got elected, the hope and optimism. I would like to think that him and Bobby are very proud right now - not to mention Dr King and Lyndon Johnson (who all four got shout outs last night from a Senator who spoke on NBC, who had been beaten and bloodied back in the 60's) who did so much to advance Civil Rights.
It's a beautiful thing that happened yesterday. Let's celebrate it and rejoice in the power of our democracy, the power of hope.
