The Funniest Thing I've Read In The Wicker Man So Far....

Someone's a bit fanatical about their NC fandom....

This movie was ok!! BUT DO NOT USE NICHOLAS CAGE!!!!
MORONS!! who le thim do this movie!! poor actor choice.. he has a trail of awsoem movies.. and to el thim be in this one and die at the end!! what the hell you thinking!!!!!!! This is the worst movie choice he ever could have made!! I am very DISAPPOINTED in the his choice of this movie!! i am a huge fan of his!! I honostly belive he was black mailed in to this!! I can teblive he would actually agrre to this movie!!! what teh helll were people thinking!!!!


Okay, calm down, take a deep breath and count to ten. Listen hon, it's a fact of life. Sometimes characters die in movies. That doesn't mean that the actor dies in real life. You know, I betchaqNC is alive and well and reading scripts for his next big flick right now...or maybe he's already filming for one! Maybe his character won't die in the next one.

Also, I'm no expert but I don't believe that it's common practice to blackmail someone into being paid millions of dollars to star in a movie.

Okay, Who's In On This One?

So I think a lot of you know that tomorrow is Talk Like A Pirate Day....

One day last week, I was telling rolsby how I thought it would be funny to pick a day nad try to see how many people I could convince that it was "Be Silent Like A Ninja Day"...he pointed out that Talk Like A Pirate Day was coming up...so I've decided to requisition September 20th as my designated day to try to convince people that it's Be Silent Like A Ninja day.


Feel free to spread this around.

So, I've just decided that this year is a little too short notice to get many people to celebrate "Be Silent Like A Ninja Day"...however, I think next year is a reasonable goal.

Seriously, I just invented my own holiday. And I made an LJ community to go with it silentninjaday

Come and join and um...well, it's kinda hard to talk like a ninja, but you can talk about ninjas and how to get the word out.

I might have a job...I'll be more certain tomorrow afternoon. It's a temp-hire position with Ikea. after 90 days as a temp, if I haven't completely effed up, they just hire me on with an automatic pay increase.

I filled out all the papers with the employment agency today. Tomorrow I go up to Ikea to meet and greet, and unless I really suck they call the temp place and tell them they want me to start October 2nd and then I do. I still have to pass a drug test and criminal background check but I haven't even taken Advil in months and I have no crimninal background. (They haven't caught me jaywalking yet!)

So basically, it's catalog sales for Ikea, people call me and say "I want to order a futon" and I place the order. It's a sales position so they want me to suggest things also "Would you like an end table with that futon? And we have this lovely coordinating futon cover" blah blah, I can do that. They pay monthly comissions on sales. 90 days after They hire me permanently, I get another pay increase and then benefits kick in....401k with 100% matching, 100% tuition reimbursement for school, 5 weeks of paid vacation in the first year? "Really great health coverage" (we'll find out what that means) Oh hell yeah.

I'm not too crazy about the idea of having to work Saturdays...and commute to Whte Marsh, but if the job's half decent or better, and for benefits like that I can live with it and request off once every six weeks or so when I need it. And they told me you get to pick your other day off each week, if that's the case, I'll ask for Mondays and still have my "weekend"

igf anyone needs a job here in Baltimore and wants to do the same thign for Ikea, let me know. I can refer you for a referral bonus :-)

So I decided a little while back that I actually need to think about getting a driver's license and car. Not just yet, but by the time I finish doing the clergy program work. I don't anticipate lots of emergency instances where I'll have to speed off to help someone, but yeah, that whole "serving the community" thing would definitely be better facilitated with a vehicle of one's own.

Bad Time For Jewelery

My pentacle broke about a month ago. On Saturday, the silver wrapping that held my sunstone-iolite pendant broke, I've still got the stone though. And at some point Saturday night or yesterday morning, I lost my garnet ring...it's somewhere at the grove, I know this because it was on my finger when I want to sleep Saturday night and when I woke up sunday morning, my iolite ring had also come off, but it was on the sofa between the cushions. I searched under the sofa with a flashlight, and I pulled the cusions up and the sofabed out...so far, no dice. I hope I find it.

*sigh*
