Jammies: Are they casual wear?

I can now openly state that I love my jammies. I am no longer ashamed to admit it. If my jammies were in the form of a man, I would marry them.

Insane in the Membrane

Well folks, the end of the month is near and I have come to the realization that I may have gotten myself in over my head with this whole NaNoWriMo thing. I mean sure, I know how to write and for the most part have the ability to string together a few coherent sentences here and there but 50,000 words? Am I serious? God, I don't know why I thought I could undertake such a task, I can't even respond to emails when I'm having a bad day, what if I have an entire bad month? It's not that I don't have ideas, they're all stuck up there in my brain with all my repressed memories but to unlock them might prove to be a dangerous thing. I shudder at the thought of writing a bad romance novel a-la-Danielle-Steel variety. I swear to God, if I write one sentence that resembles "His rippling forearm musles tore at her lace bodice with fury" I will jump off the top of PVM. (Damn, I think I just dry-heaved when I read over my brief foray into Harlequin romance territory.)

P.S. Wish my luck in November.

Purple Rain... The Horror... The Horror

Who needs Michael Myers with a butcher's knife when all you really need for a screamfest is Prince with a script? A little while ago my friend Nefertitia posted a blog about Purple Rain and I laughed and posted a comment but couldn't really write anything profound or worthwhile as I had never seen the movie because of my parents censorship in my younger days. However, a couple of weeks ago on the MuchMoreMusic network they decided to air the movie so I checked it out and let me tell you I have made some bad choices in my life but this one will zoom right to the top of them. It wasn't even so bad it was funny or anything, it was so bad it was, you know, bad. I have seen horror movies and then moved on but this movie with haunt the rest of my days. Eeek, Prince in spandex and high heel boots, Prince making out with that Appolonia chick, Prince slapping her for no good reason... The list goes on and on.
Honestly, Halloween's just around the corner and if you're looking for something to chill you to the bone with fright then this is the movie for you.

Nightime is the Write-time

It has occured to me that I only really hit my creative peak in the wee hours of the morning. Perhaps this is the best time to write my novel? I suppose the only problem that creeps up is that I have a full-time day job and my work will no doubt suffer. Can I handle both? Probably not. Do I care enough about my job? Kind of. (It pays the bills). Is life without a creative outlet worth it? Definately not. I need to feel as though I have accomplished something worthwhile outside the walls of work and if I lose sleep and patience then perhaps it is all worth it if I am satisfied with the end result. Work be damned, I'm going for the glory.

Yawn, Part Deux

I noticed that I have already had a "Yawn" post so I had to differentiate it from the first. Anyhoo, how is everyone? I am fine although I was a tad under the weather this weekend and my mother's friend died so I was dragged out of my comfy-ass bed to attend a wake on Sunday. Sounds like fun? Yeah, um, no.
Today was yet another day I would rather forget as it was busy, busy, busy and I never felt really settled all day, mostly because I was running around like a chicken without a head. I am hoping tomorrow brings a more laid-back feelin'.

Guy Candy, she is back!

1. Tyler Christopher

2. Simon Baker

3. Mark Collier

Finally, I got to post a new blog! Enjoy and I personally like number three.

Guy Candy Delayed... Again!

Sorry folks, I have spent the last twenty minutes trying to upload pictures for Guy Candy but met with resistance from the site. (I don't know why)
Hopefully I'll find some time tomorrow at work to post the blog so I won't be threatened in the halls of EY.

Everett the Hijacker

Sorry peeps, I left my blog open and mon petit ami Everett decided to post something. Isn't he special?

No good son-of-a...

Count your lucky stars!

2. Luke Malby

3. Johnny Lee Miller

I was pretty much threatened with physical violence by a certain Miss Titcombe for not posting last week so I am forced to do a Guy Candy two times this week. I swear, what I won't do for my fans!

No Guy Candy

Sorry, I had more pressing matters to attend to this week.

Maybe next week.

McDonald's May Kill You But...

...They let you win stuff too. I have been hoarding all the Monopoly pieces I can get my hands on and I finally won an instant prize. Yes, you can touch me if you'd like, I'm that lucky.
Right.
So anyway, I won free credits from this thing called Snapfish. Or SoapFish. Something to that effect. I assume it's kinda like Flickr. Enjoy but be warned, I haven't really uploaded the pics I wanted - it's just stuff I had on the computer at work and I since I am working overtime I uploaded what I could.

More titles for my autobiography

-I Got Game... But No Tact.

-Is it just me or is the world stupid?

-White People. What's Up With Them?

-Lyndy: The Wonder Years. "Whoa, dude."

-Lyndy: The Petulant Years. "You dudes can go to hell."

-Lyndy: The Proletariat Crushing Years. "Ouch, dude."

-A Lyndy Retrospective: Did She Have To Make So Many People Cry?

-Oh No I Di'int!

This site, she mocks me.

Hmmph. Well, just to prove me wrong and make me look like the ass I am the site and the computer seem to be in cahoots because now everything is going along smoothly and quickly. Why do the internet gods hate me so? Are they not amused?

This computer, she mocks me.

So darn s l o w. Really though, how can a person share her illuminating thoughts with the world with a machine that doesn't oblige? I am trying to be hip and up-to-date on my lingo all the kids use but this computer is so moody that I can't post when I want to post. For shizzle indeed.

Had a bad day?

Kiwi can relate. Seriously, she be chillin' like a villain.

NaNoWriMo Paricipant?

As many of you Gnomers will have no doubt noticed, I have a little link that states that I am an official NaNoWriMo participant this year. What the heck is it, you may have asked yourselves? Well, let me tell you, it's an annual contest to celebrate National Novel Writing Month. Starting November 1st participants are required to write a 50,000 word novel in one month and I, for some unknown reason have decided to enter and bore the world with more of my ramblings.

Wish me luck.

Gobble! Gobble! Gobble!

Yes dear friends, it's that time of year again when Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving. I hope you all had a nice day off and enjoyed a scrumptious turkey dinner as I did. I have to say, I think Thanksgiving is the biggest holiday in the Fitzpatrick calendar, it's really the only time we all get together all year. As per usual my mother hosted the annual event and our table was once again set for 30+ people, excluding children. It's not that we're not child-friendly, because we are, but they're all still under ten and enjoy playing and watching Harry Potter DVDs. (Provided by yours truly!) I have noticed that as they get older it's a lot less stress around dinner time because they pretty much entertain themselves now and don't need constant supervision.
I'd like to take this opportunity to share with you all that I am thankful for this year:
-Family
-Friends
-The person who invented gravy
-The ability to type
-The friendly gnomers who read my little blog

Possible titles for my autobiography.

After I have conquered the world I would like to write a book about my life from sweet-faced child to tyrant and as I was sitting at reception I came up with a couple of ideas.

-Misanthrope

-I Hate You

-Go To Hell

-Lyndy: I Hardly Knew Me

-I'm With You But I Always Wished You Were Someone Else

*There are more to come.

Weekly Guy Candy Survey

Ok, the whole configuration thing went horribly wrong and this computer is so damn slow that I can't fix the pictures so that they're in any discernible order therefore I am forced to tell you that blonde guy is Jensen Ackles and he's Number 1. Number 2 guy is Tom Welling and he has the black hair. We finish up with Frédéric Michalak for Number 3. (He's the shirtless one.)

What I don't like.

You know what I don't like? Things.

And by things I mean people.

Scott!!!

Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me. Call me.
(I am sending you telepathic messages. You needs to call because we are going out Friday and I would like you to come.)
I still don't know where we are going but it might be fun so hang out with us, why don't you?

Le life, c'est le suckage complete.

I thought I would dazzle all of you with my expert frenglish skills. Voilà !
Anyhoo, something occurred to me this weekend as I was licking my wounds, an epiphany of sorts. Let me tell you Lemony Snickets had it right when he said life is basically a series of unfortunate events. Here are my wise words:
-Life is nothing but a series of small disappointments which are occasionally interrupted by large catastrophic ones.
It may sound like the voice of despair and in case you need clarification, it is.
