I'm Ang.

I'm a 23-year-old married woman who followed her heart (and her husband!) to Nova Scotia, where I'm currently a housewife, planning my future. I'm a huge computer nerd, especially when it comes to video games. I'm a fan of lists and spend a lot of time making them, even if they have no purpose at all. Want to know more?

I’m slacking! (Take two, I guess.)

Sigh, I only hope that this post will be nearly as good as it was the first time. Seriously, WTF, WordPress?

I’ve been slacking a bit on my 101 things list. I need some progress! So let’s see what is in progress that can be done fairly easily, shall we?

Sleep “normal” hours every day for a month.

I started this on 5/7/07, meaning, on 6/8/07, I can cross this off my list as complete. I’m shocked at myself, but maybe I’ve trained my body to work properly, hm?

Blog every day for 90 days.

I started this while Matt was away on April 2nd. This means that today marks 60 days of blogging daily. That leaves me with one month to go!

Finish my Legacy Challenge family: all ten generations.

Despite my computer giving me problem after problem after problem after problem trying to get this goal done, I think it’ll finally work. I’m only on generation two so far, but hey, it’s a start. I’ve started other families, too, but I’m leaving those as a surprise because they’re just nifty, but I want more work done on them, first. In the meantime, I’ve got my hot legacy family. By hot, I mean awesome genes. I need to get some default templates for skins and make my townies hot, too, though. I don’t want to risk losing the good genes somewhere down the line!

Anyway, back to the list.

Watch 100 of IMDB’s top 250 films.

Still quite a few to go, but I need to start watching films all the time. I’m home all the time, this shouldn’t be too hard, right? Right. Expect to see some progress on this one.

Get an alt character on World of Warcraft to level 70.

What can I say? Leveling just isn’t my thing.

Try three new restaurants.

I’m one restaurant short. ONE. This should be simple.

Finish this list.

I need to think of 15 more things, I believe. Any suggestions?

May 08 2007

Oops!

I’m not going to count not posting last night against myself. I fell asleep too quickly! I didn’t do much of anything yesterday, anyway. I played a bit of World of Warcraft and a bit of The Sims 2, then Matt and I had Chinese food for dinner and right after, I laid down in bed and pretty much passed out. I had the goofiest dreams, too!

Anyway, back to snuggling with Matt before he has to go to work!

May 02 2007

Nothing interesting to see here.

I slept most of the day again. I can’t seem to get enough sleep, so I’m listening to my body and sleeping when it feels tired. No harm in spoiling my immune system a bit while I’m recovering, right?

I’ve been playing Evil Genius today. I think I’m doing pretty well. It’s an interesting game, that’s for sure.

I’m kinda wanting to play World of Warcraft but I’m not going to justify spending the money on a game card just yet. I’m hoping maybe someone sends me money for my birthday (Tomorrow! You know, since today is technically Wednesday now…) and that way I can justify it.

Anyway, I think I’ll get back to my game. My typing is probably keeping poor Matt awake!

April 30 2007

Just another day.

I slept most of today. I couldn’t get to sleep last night because I was up coughing. Today, I’ve pretty much lost my voice and Matt’s making me stay in bed, which I don’t mind. I need rest, anyway. Being sick again is no fun. He’s making fun of me for the voice, though. I can’t even explain how I sound. I squeak. It’s hilarious, really.

Anyway, I just told him that I’d be up just long enough to post, since I’m keeping up with my 90 days straight of blogging! Today marks day 30. One-third of the way there!

My birthday is in two days, which is all kinds of exciting. Not sure what we’re doing yet, though.

Anyway, back to eating my sub (yum!) and watching House!

April 30 2007

I’m on a roll!

Today Matt and I put all of our CDs into new cases. Our cabinet is nice and organized now! So that’s one more thing off of my 101 things list. Two things in two days? I hope I can complete the rest of the list just as easily.

Today also marks day #29 of blogging every day for 90 days, another item on the list. I figured I was blogging every day for the past 28 days, so they should count!

Here is my progress so far:

So, today, I spent the day with Matt. He goes back to working tomorrow, so it was nice to spend the whole day with him. I played a bit of my Legacy family while he played some games on his computer, but we spent most of the day together. I’m getting sick again, so we took a nap and I whined a bit, but he was nothing if not attentive and sweet. I asked him if he’d make me a cup of tea, because he makes it different than I do, and he leaned down and kissed me and brought one down. How on Earth did I get so lucky? Seriously.

As for my Legacy family, Carrie (my heir from generation 3) has graduated college (4.0 average!) and moved back home to the Legacy family. All of her older brothers and sisters and one of her younger brothers has moved out, as well as all of her aunts and uncles. She and her husband are living with her grandparents, her parents, two of her brothers and her husband. They have a puppy, also. They had an older one, named “Pup,” but he passed on before she went to college. The house is a bit crowded but it’s fun to play anyway!

Right now I’m watching Four Brothers. This movie is by far one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. Every time I watch it it keeps me on the edge of my seat, even though I know what’s going to happen. Another one of my favourite movies is Armageddon, which was on tonight, but at the same time, Signs happened to be on. Matt convinced me to watch that with him, and I must say I’m glad I did; it was a great movie! A bit creepy and I’m easily scared, so that was a bad combination, but if I was less of a fraidy-cat, it would have been an awesome movie.

Okay, I’ve been talking about movies for a whole paragraph, so you know what’s next. A connection. Nope, I just can’t help myself when I watch movies. Ever. So, here goes. The little girl in Signs, Bo, is played by Abigail Breslin (the sister of Spencer Breslin, in case you didn’t know), who looked incredibly familiar to me. Turns out, I’ve seen her much more recently than 2002. She was in Raising Helen, Princess Diaries 2 and The Santa Clause 3, all with her brother. That’s not how I know her, though. For those of you Grey’s fans out there, she was Megan Clover, the little girl who couldn’t feel pain, but believed she was a superhero, from “Sometimes a Fantasy”.

Okay, I’m officially a nerd. So sue me.
