I just watched it! OMG I hate the Gov'ner! He is so gross 
I felt so bad for Glen & Maggie :'((((( I hope Michone goes and chops off the Gov'ners head with her sword, lol.
I dvr-ed it for later, my hubby got distracted playing Assasins creed tonight. So I'll be watching it on Monday along with talking dead and comic book men!
I got my first Birthday Gram from Hayley yesterday
She sent me a cool card and this lovely bracelet, I love the little key on it!
**bump**
Yey me and Hayley have been talking, I think we're both leaning towards an Adventure Time Christmas, lol ^_^
I love deep breathing exercises when I am about to explode. I took karate when I was a kid, like 8-15, and they had a exercise we'd do at the end of each lesson, about not using karate as a "weapon" but for self defense, and how you should use your brain to win fights instead of your fists, that kinda stuff. But then we practice breathing and meditation for 30 min, and I loved it. It really stuck with me over the years. I also used to do yoga when I had a gym membership, and loved the relaxing time at the end of the class too. When I'm stressed and at home I like to just go sit in a comfy chair or in my bed, away from everyone, with the lights off and just breath, chill out, and reflect. If I am stressed and out running around, like maybe waiting in line at the store and its just utter chaos that day, I try to tune out everyone and control my breathing, inhale slow for 7 seconds, hold it for 5, then slowly breath out for 7 seconds. Something like that
Also just pretending to be happy works for me, like if I am stuck somewhere I don't want to be and I hate it but I cant leave, I just smile like I am happy, but on the in side I'm like FLM. I've noticed that works great around my hubby, because if I am acting like I'm OK and happy, he'll be ok and happy, then him being happy will rub off on to me and I'll actually start to be happy, weird I know. But it works a lot for me!
Sometimes you need to just treat yourself to something nice! If you're having a terrible week and you really need a pick-me-up, go buy something you like, and make a big deal about it. It doesn't have to be a big purchase. I'm always spending money wisely, because my hubby is the only one with a job, so I have to pick and choose when I can buy craft supplies and when I can ship swap stuff, and then when I can by new pants or whatever. So one thing I like to do that isn't expensive is to plan a day to go to the mall or stores. I'll tell my hubby which day we're going, its usually on the weekend. Then he knows were going and to be ready, less stress already because its planned Anyway we'll get dressed nice, go to the mall and just walk around window shopping and cool stuff and I buy one thing under $20.00, it usually ends up being a book. Then we get a special snack, like ice cream or a big cookie from the bakery at the mall. So we end up only spending a few dollars, but we have fun and get to hand out together. Another option is we drive to the comic book store and I get to buy some books, which are only like $3 each, then we go get lunch at a nice burger joint or something. So again, we're spending a small amount of money and we get to hang out with each other and I get to buy something I love.
I think I am the master of Zen, lol. I was a very angry kid not like yell and scream and start fights, but I had a lot of internal anger and rage. I had to learn to deal with it so it wouldn't make me explode or become extremely depressed. I also used get really bad anxiety depression, that I didn't deal with well, and have been working on for the last 6-7 years, I am happy to say that I can usually regulate myself and my moods, so that I don't become depressed, and I think I live in a pretty stressful environment. Anyway, my hubby is in the military and we have a lot of crazy stuff happen to us, he leaves for training stuff at the last min, he's been to Iraq once and almost had to go to Afghanistan, we've moved across the country 2 times and are doing it again in December. So I get a lot of practice to control my stress, LOL. But when I control my stress levels or deal with my stress so it doesn't build up I totally see it rub off on to my hubby, he is less stressed and more helpful if I am less stressed.
Yeah the upside is that all of us girls are awesome, and most of us are gamers or nerdy too.
and here is the right side of it with the Wheel
My hubby has 2, one is a celtic cross on his left forearm and the other is this awesome sketch he did of "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" but he added in the kanji symbol for Honor, and the Wheel of Dharma, then he did a cool frame boarder that looks like wood. The Tattoo artist touched up the sketch a bit more and did the shading, but the whole idea and drawing/placement of everything was done by my hubby. Which is awesome because it just started as a doodle, he isn't an artist or anything. Its really awesome that he got exactly what he wanted and it was all his ideas. Anyway here is a pic of his, because I love it so much.
Here is the left side- showing the kanji for honor
I have one about a 2 inch square sized celtic knot. I was 18 when I got it and was not prepared for it, kinda like a random afternoon activity, lol. Anyway its on my left shoulder blade, and it is just a outline because the tattoo artist was not patient with me, and I was not taking them pain well Then later I found out the jackass did it upside down (((((( so the triangle is inverted. I really want more, but I really need to find a great artist who can work with me *because apparently I'm a big baby*
Here is a clip art of what mine looks like
I choose Hayley
Hahaha Nice! Not creepy at all, btw. Here is a pic of the cool stuff I got (its not a NvsV swap, but still I wanted to put up pics)
I got 3 pairs of earrings, I loooooooove the tentacle ones! they are my fav! And then a 2 inch tall Weeping Angle (Doctor Who), she is adorable and yet scary at the same time.... I'm watching her 0_0
