Friday Five: 1. Who is your favorite singer/musician? Why?
OOOOOH tough one... I think it would HAVE to be LIVE! Because they just make really awesome music!
2. What one singer/musician can you not stand? Why?
again- tough one... there are so many. I think John Mayer, Creed, and Jennifer Lopez are the top ones. Because they SUCK!
3. If your favorite singer wasn't in the music business, do you think you would still like him/her as a person?
Don't know... I like Ed enough (lead singer of LIVE) but I don't know him personally. From what I ~DO~ know though, I would say yes.
4. Have you been to any concerts? If yes, who put on the best show?
LOTS!!! Went to see LIVE three or four times... I lost count. Have seen Alanis Morissette, Aerosmith, 3 Doors Down, The Flys, Eight Stop Seven, Cowboy Mouth, The Mighty, Mighty Bosstones, and The Counting Crows. I'd say that the veterans win this one... Aerosmith puts on one HELLUVA show!
5. What are your thoughts on downloading free music online vs. purchasing albums? Do you feel the RIAA is right in its pursuit to stop people from dowloading free music?
I think that they should both be okay. I only download songs to discover if I like enough songs on a cd enough to go out and PAY 20 bucks for the entire cd. No, I think the RIAA needs to go suck on their toes... I think they were last seen lodged up their @$$!!!

Friday Five: 1. Is the name you have now the same name that's on your birth certificate? If not, what's changed?
yes... sort of... no one actually calls me my real name anymore... everyone just calls me "puddle"
2. If you could change your name (first, middle and/or last), what would it be?
probably all three, but I can't think of what I would change it TO! (I'd want some truly original, but EVERYone and their cat is doing that nowadays, so...)
3. Why were you named what you were? (Is there a story behind it? Who specifically was responsible for naming you?)
My mom named me after her roomie in college. They were REALLY good friends, but I don't know if they are even in touch with each other any more...
4. Are there any names you really hate or love? What are they and why?
I really like the name Alyssa... but it's become popular Xp
5. Is the analysis of your name at kabalarians.com / triggur.org / astroexpert accurate? How or how isn't it? (names changed to protect the guilty)
Kabalarians
Brief Analysis
The name of *puddle* has given you an appreciation for many beautiful and refined aspects of life--music and art, literature, drama--and the outdoors, where you find much peace and relaxation, but it creates a far too sensitive nature. You sense and feel much that you do not understand, and sometimes you are alarmed at your thoughts and wonder about their origin. You rarely experience the tranquility that comes with stability of thinking or emotional control. At times, you are very inspired, desiring to be with people and to entertain others as the "life of the party," while at other times you are aloof and choose to remove yourself entirely from association. You crave understanding and affection but your intensity of desire and your self-consciousness prevent you from finding the happiness you desire. You have suffered many disappointments and misunderstandings because of your inability to express your inner thoughts.... BLAH BLAH BLAH!!! whatever!

i figure no one really reads this blog anymore since i basically moved over to LiveJournal, so this entry is basically for me... if anyone reads it, I'm sorry for any ... wait, no I'm not... I'm NOT sorry for anything that I am about to say!
My dad came downstairs today to tell me the news that I was half-expecting and fully-dreading hearing. It regards my cat, Bill...
My cat used to be made fun of by ALL of my friends for being just a big fat cat, but I never minded. He was ~MY~ cat, and I liked him fat... I could use him for a pillow, or a foot rest and I could rub his belly really fast, making all of his fat jiggle. It was fun. We slept together, we would eat together (yes, I snuck him the milk from my cereal LOTS of time) and we would share my chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream... though I think I usually got more of the actualy cookie dough. He liked "washing the dishes" when we were done by licking the bowl clean. I have a million pictures of him everywhere... including the one I took right after I gave him a bath... If there were EVER a picture that said "FUCK YOU!"- it was THAT one. When I would drive down our little street towards my house, he would be laying in the middle of the street... sorry HIS street... (thank goodness my family lived at a dead end) and as soon as I passed the street that connects to ours, he would get his fat butt up and RUN ~TO~ my car to welcome me home... the slowly walk in FRONT of the car, making me inch my way forward until he was out of the way. We would also play "Tent"... which involved me sticking one of my legs up under the covers. He would then slip under the covers and lay down somewhere near my thighs... and not come out... even if (and when, usually) I collapsed the tent... hehehe When I was in high school at some point and VERY single (I was single throughout high school, I must have just been particulary LONELY at the time) I asked Bill to marry me. He said yes too, as he walked me to the corner. So officially, Bill and I are engaged. ( I realize now that I should have married him....) Memories. That's the one sign of an absolutely AWESOME pet.
Sorry... back to the "news". Bill has been losing weight at an ALARMING rate recently... So bad that when I went home to help my parents paint their kitchen a while back, Bill was thinner than his sister (which he has never been) and when I tried to rub his belly like I always did, I hit ribs. So, my dad- very worried- took him to the vet on Tuesday for some blood work. They got the results back today. His kidney is failing... The doctor doesn't think that it is an infection, it appears to be a degenerative thing... She wants to put him on an IV for three days and says that that will clean out his system. She also said that with the right treatment and medications, she might be able to get him to last 3, 6, 9 more months, or even another year. My dad informed me that Bill has been "yelping" in pain the last two nights, which scares me very much. So he pulled me aside in work today and told me all of this because he wanted to know my opinion since Bill IS ~MY~ cat. I asked him to talk to the vet to see if there is a way of getting Bill as pain-free as possible from now until Sunday. I was planning on going over to my parents' to paint their kitchen, etc. Now it looks like I will be spending my last weekend with my baby. I am trying to do what I think is best for him by not prolonging the pain (for Bill or for my parents). I know that this type of treatment is not cheap. So I want to spend this weekend with him, then let him "sleep" on Monday. This is one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make, but I know that in my heart, I would not be able to bear watching him degress further.
TT_TT *cries*
this is one of the saddest days of my life...

(WARNING: puddle is finally fed up with Blogger/YACCS.)
aww, geez... i feel like sh!+.... (but it ~is~ my own damn fault, so...)
I am such a pathetic, white girl.... I stayed up too late last night to watch the finale of Boy Meets Boy. I ~KNEW!~ he was going to pick Wes, and I ~KNEW!~ Franklin was straight.... (but only after The Advocate told me the trick- and it made a lot of sense) I did, however, have a moment of doubt while watching Brian... I think he really ~did~ have a "thing" for James... and I felt really sorry for him because he didn't get the cute romantic dates like Franklin and Wes... I had a major moment where I suddenly REALLY wanted James to pick Brian (I mean, come on!!! They live in the same city and everything!) But he picked Wes... like I knew he would...
How did I know??? Bravo spent WAAAAY too much time editing together footage of just the two of them... they Walked together, Talked together, and I dunno... something about Wes... I knew from the second or third show that he would be the one... He was just kind of this Bright Sparklie thing compared to all of the other "Mates". He stood out, and so help me, if I were a gay man- ~I~ would have picked Wes!!! And! James is uber-sexy when he first wakes up in the morning... *wiggles eyebrows*
>-< geez, I am sad... (Mental NOTE: I need a boyfriend... or boy-toi... which ever is easier...)
class is.... going.... I'm so tired though... My body has become unaccustomed to the schedule of wake-up, work, home, school, home, sleep... instead it is- half-wake-up, work, snack on what ~should have been~ lunch, work, straight to school, home, no sleep... needless to say... my body is trying to give out on me....
NOTE: YACCS (the comment function on my blog is currently with a server down... they hope to get it resolved soon. so save up on those comments and post whenever the "Comments?" link pops back up! THANKS!

leigh is very evil...
leigh is very VERY evil...
(and she's LOVIN' it right about now...)
the evil woman got me to go autocrossing... IN MY SATURN!!! >-< (For ANYone who knows ANYthing about Saturns- you know that they are NOT built for speed....) And with the exception of having to get up at 6am..... and the lovely rain (that would last until the middle of Leigh's run heat).... and having to clean out my car- total of THREE loads up a flight of stairs.... and the fun, sloshy feel of two hours worth of water soaked into your socks and shoes... AND with the exception of that fact that I felt positively NAUSEOUS for most of the morning (including the novice walk, the driver's meeting, during my work heat, AND my first, second, and third run), I HAD A GREAT TIME!!!!!!! No SERIOUSLY!!! I really did have a really good time!
I would give you a complete run-down of the entire event, but i'm still exhausted... so just go to Leigh's LiveJournal for a prettie good (and damn funny, if I say so myself) rendition of the day.
My times were:
6. 99/HS *** name changed to protect the "innocent" *** > 65.548 <
99 SATURN SL-1
TIMES: 1) 84.518
2) 70.094
3) 65.548
4) 65.571
5) DNF
Apparently, the third run was best for Leigh and myself.
*goes to sleep*
