I'm not sure how many of you are still here who'll remember hope_guides_me. I so rarely use this site anymore, it seems like another lifetime ago that I was active with it. For those of you who don't already know through other means, she passed away this morning.

I don't have any coherent words right now, but I thought I might have people on my flist here who would want to know.

She is at peace. She is happy in Heaven. I believe this all my heart. Even knowing that, I mourn the loss of her from my life. I don't even have the words for how much I am going to miss her.

Oh, hi, LJ. I keep forgetting you exist.

Is this even still a thing people pay attention to?

excuse me while I talk about how much I love Apple rn

My new iPhone 6 came via UPS today and so far I am loving it. The battery is lasting so much longer, but that might be partly because my 5 was 2 years old. Still, it's nice to be able to leave things like Siri and location services turned on without having my phone die after an hour or two or usage! And I really like the larger size and the look of the new OS. I'm disappointed that I have to wait for health kit and for the ability to send and receive SMS from my iPad and my Macs, but patience, it is a virtue, right?

Speaking of Apple, I'm doing the free public beta for OS X Yosemite and so far I love it. It's gorgeous and I love the new features. So, technology is making me happy right now.

The latest in Richelle Mead's Bloodlines series, Silver Shafows, came out today. I got my copy via iBooks around 9pm last night and devoured it. Needless to say, I have thoughts.

( spoilers for Silver ShadowsCollapse )

If you haven't read these books, you seriously need to pick them up. They are absolutely fantastic. This entry was originally posted at https://lenabee.dreamwidth.org/1663049.html. You may comment here or there.

I need 5 more responses to this poll for a class assignment that is due tonight. Help me out, please?

In other news, I'm enjoying my job at the law office, school is going well, but I'm glad the semester will be over soon and that I'll have a little over a week off before fall semester starts. With the end of summer classes, I will officially have my Office Technology Specialist Certificate. I will also only have two semesters to go before I have my associates degree as an Administrative Office Specialist. Which means I will be all done with school, unless I decide I want a second associates degree in Information Technology (which is actually kind of tempting, tbh).

The down side is that a lot of the good jobs are in other cities/states. I have had lots of recruitment emails from companies outside of where I live looking for someone with my ~skills, but moving isn't a real option right now, soooo... NOT HELPFUL!

On the plus side, I love my job and I'm really hoping it will become full time by the time I am done with school. I'm happy to be working part time and I'd be perfectly happy with what I'm making, even, if I had more hours, but once I'm done with school, I'm definitely going to need a full time position. Or, you know, more money.

This is a problem I'll worry about next spring, though, I think.

So, I have to poll at least 15 people for class, and I don't know 15 people in real life, so.. please fill this out for me?

Poll #1975458 Ecommerce

If your favorite Web site switched from free content to a subscription format costing $9.95 per month, would you pay the fee to continue using the site?

Yes
5(22.7%)
No
17(77.3%)

If the answer to #1 is no, what price, if any, would you be willing to pay.

Why did you answer yes or no to question #1?



Thank you in advance for helping me out with this, guys!

ETA Please make sure you are answering all three questions, as I can't use your response for my assignment if I don't have an answer for all 3!

I am up at the butt-crack of dawn, because I have to drive to Sioux Falls for my biopsy this morning. I'm a little nervous, because, you know, needle and it's supposed to take 1-2 hours or possible longer and even with the anesthetic to numb the area, I'm finding it hard ti imagine it won't hurt at all.

Plus, anyone who's ever met me knows it'll be hard for me to lie still for an hour without being able to like read or something.

In other news, I'm trying to decide if I should re-apply to hogwartsishome or not.

You guys, why does LJ look so ~different? I feel like I'm on a totally foreign site right now.

They should at least add an icon randomizer, since apparently this new site design has broken that part of my livejournal hook ff extension. :|

Hi, livejournal, it's been awhile.

If you didn't get the memo, subject lines on the system comment pages are back. About freaking time, right?

In the world of me, I'm a couple if weeks in to my third semester at MTI and school has been going pretty well. I quit Walmart back in January and worked from home through tax season. Then I got laid off after tax season was over and last month I found a job as a secretary in a small law office. I've been doing that for a few weeks now and it's going pretty well. There's a LOT to learn, but I'm enjoying the work so far.

The other big thing in my life right now is that I am going to have a biopsy next week bc my first ever mammogram revealed a tiny calcification that May or may not be something not awesome. The good news is that if it is something, it's super early and they're going to take it out just to be extra safe. But I guess this makes me a poster child for why women should definitely get those mammograms done, Y/Y.

Other than that, life is pretty much the same. My cat is still freakishly adorable, I'm still RPing, blah blah blah. I'm sure I'll spam with kitty pictures soon.

I simultaneously want to pat Veronica Roth on the back and punch her in the face

I just finally got around to reading the Divergent Trilogy and now everything sucks and I need, like, all the mien gifs immediately.

Seriously, are we sure Joss Whedon didn't write it? Because that was such a Joss move.

I have another sinus infection. This one's a persistent little bugger. I've been taking levaquin since Friday and yesterday my doctor called in a steroid dose pack along with some anti-nausea medicine, because the post nasal drip has been making me feel so nauseated.

I gave my two week notice to Walmart, so I feel a little bad that I've been having to call out, but I guess it is what it is. My last day is January 2nd. I don't officially have a new job yet, but I have some strong possibilities and I also will have my financial aid money for school to fall back on come January, so it's not a super dire situation.

Next semester, I'm taking Accounting 2, Multimedia Concepts and Desktop Publishing and I am really excited for the latter 2, especially. I should only have one class in the summer, thanks to transfer and life experience credits and then I'll "graduate" with my office technology specialist certificate before continuing on to an associates program.

And I finished the semester with a 4.0, which I am super proud of.

Yup.


You Are Katniss

Most people who grew up with you know you as a bit of a loner. You have had to pave your own way in life.
You are naturally quite introverted, but you shine in the limelight. You have a natural charm.

You are a survivor and a definite rebel. You don't do what you're told, and you question authority every step of the way.
You are loyal to the people you love first and foremost. You will do anything in your power to keep them safe.
