Two days ago, I noticed Bugger only using one foot while sitting on his perch and holding up the other foot like he couldn't use it. This morning, mum and I are suspecting he broke or sprained it in a way he doesn't want to use it. I've been doing reading on broken legs/feet and they are all saying that, depending on the lifespan of the finch, the bone will heal on it's own and he'll become a special needs finch. Bugger is only 3-ish months old now and since he is in great health, he should bounce right back in a week or so with a some what healed bone. I managed to catch him yesterday and examined the leg to see if there was anything I could see wrong with my two eyes. It looked normal, he wasn't screaming in pain, but he wasn't flexing his foot when I poked it. I'm holding high hopes that it's going to heal since he's so young and since he's going to be a special needs bird, that's fine by us. One cat and two guinea pigs are special needs animals and we move on while caring for them. I'm the main caretaker of the piggies and deal with Oreo's cancer and Flame's health issues with great care that they don't even realize what I've done until it's done. I'm planing on fixing up Bug's cage so he can have easy access to food/water/shelter while he heals. As the Quote said at the top of the website "A crippled finch can still lead a good life."

This just makes Bugger more special.

I have thus celebrated my 21st birthday with just my folks and brother. Dad showed me the drinks that are much lighter then what my mother was trying to show me (her side of the family are BIG drinkers) and I went for the fruit flavored coolers and actually enjoying my first one. It has a wild berry flavor to it and still doing fine. Dad had said that, depending on my tolerance level for my first, I may or may not feel different, but we shall see! So for now, happy first drink!

Just like to wish you a happy birthday! Hoping it becomes a wonderful day for you! :)

I've been hogging the TV since three this afternoon and it's one hour away from seeing who passes on in SVU. Been passing the time by watching Funniest Videos (even though 40% are not funny...)
I swear I hissed at my brother as he walked by after getting home from school (thus getting a weird look from him) and now I'm counting down the minutes again. O_O

Just wishing to say "Happy Birthday!" to Metalchick_36 and my brother, Richard, who share the same birthday! :D

Alrighty, where to start---
Okay, I start with this; Monday morning, I got up and was unable to turn my head to the right. I did everything possible for that day - from ice packs, warming ointments, having mum apply pressure to the painful area, etc. until I couldn't take it anymore. Tuesday afternoon, when mum went to the Chiropractor, I decided to have an appointment made for (while making my usual comments of "just take five minutes to break my neck and take me out of misery...") and went in for Wednesday afternoon. X-rays were taken, medical history and I was plopped onto the coolest little table/bed invented since ice packs. Doc had fun cracking my back and my neck (I was so relaxed, I didn't need to wiggle my toes to distract me) and then we moved to my X-rays. She has now stated I have "a goofy bone structure". Yay....great....what?
My neck bones are curving to one side and she says that it could be muscle spasms and part of the cause of why I can't move my neck one direction and it also be a part of scoliosis. There is also and unwanted gap between the spinal columns in my neck that could be from two accidents I was in when I was younger (car accident and was knocked off by a clydesdale horse and landed on a root. Signs of old whiplash?) or just how I am and it's part of my uniqueness.

Now, to add to the goofyness, Bugger, the young Zebra Finch hatched to Eartha and Kronk, is showing signs that it could really be a boy. It sounds like it's trying to do the song that only males can do. Oh, goody...I found myself sitting my brother and I's bathroom with, Kuzco flying around and stretching his wings, wondering what to do. I don't like getting birds from petstores since, with my experience, carry illnesses that are spreadable to other birds. I don't need that to happen with Kuzco. He may be small, but I like the little brat and his pitiful calls for a lady friend. Could have Kronk and Eartha try again, but we don't need a million birds again and the next clutch may not have a female. I'd like for Kuzco to have company and not be alone in the segragation cage, but we gotta see if it's really true that Bugger is a male. Who knows.

This happened twice - once my brother and once to myself.
When my brother was in middle school, he was preparing to leave the building and walked behind a car that was owned by his computer teacher. He didn't see that she was in the car and started walking behind it and then it started moving, his teacher was in the car after all. Without much knowledge, she bumped into him and started to slowly run over his foot and he started freaking out and yelled for help. This unknown man (we still don't know who he is) tapped on her window and told her she was on top of a kid and helped Richard out from under it, carried him into the school, called for the nurse and disappeared. When I got there, his foot was red, swollen and he was scared that it was broken. Dad and I took him to the hospital and nothing was wrong and he was able to walk on it right after. His computer teacher was so upset and terrified that dad was going to do something, but it was an accident and, since Richie was a little thing, she would have not been able to see him well. That's the closest call of an accident he ever had.

For me, it was not too long ago. I practice archery and while I was practicing, I had accidently released the the arrow from my hold too soon and it bounced off something that was in the way. I felt the arrow bounce back to me and skimmed my right side, really close, before landing somewhere behind me. I was like "Okay, every part of me still here?" The arrow has an interesting indent in it and it left me going "huh..."
That's not going to stop me though. Accidents happen, even if there is no bodily injury, but still...

So, good news first! Bugger, the illusive Zebra finch chick, has left the nest and is learning to fly. "She" has picked the smaller of the two nests as "her" spot and momma Eartha has been spending nights with "her" and leaving Papa Kronk to lonely nights by himself in the bigger nest. We should know by next month what the gender is of Bugger (that name is sticking and very catchy!)

 

Just too damn cute! (yes, momma Eartha is missing some feathers. To this point, they may not come back, but she is very active and very healthy. Guess this is who she is!)

Jumbled news: Getting different responses of when classes end for this semester and the website is too confusing for me to fight with. Guess when ever I show up and no one is there, that will be my answer. LOL. Also makes me wonder if everyone is going to be in class tomorrow or majority will be "playing hooky".

Wacky news: Why does Facebook have to be a big pain in the behind to find certain people?! I've been trying to find one person and did every possible seach known to human kind and I may have passed this person several times...also think I found some people when I did a random search for funsies (it turned out to be one of my friends on here...) ::Looks both ways:: This friend figures it out, don't hurt me for looking. LOL

And for those that are keeping eyes on one certain fanfic, not neglecting it - the chapter is driving me nuts. Should I have him do it or should I not have him do it...that is the question of the day.

Might be the most sadist news I have heard since the beginning of this month, actor, comedian and chef Dom Deluise has passed away on the fourth of May. The first movie I heard him in was All Dogs go to Heaven as the voice of Itchy and Oliver & Company as Fagin the homeless man.

I grew to love his humor in Spaceballs, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Blazing Saddles, The muppet movie, and many others. He will truly be missed. :(

I was being bad and read up on spoilers of what's up with the season final...I shouldn't have but I did and it makes me a little peeved at Dick Wolf and Neal Baer. But, then again,they've been pissing me off for a while now, with all the stunts they keep pulling with the show and all.

I decided to post link instead of posting what is said, just in case.



Now that I have that out of my system, back to my paper due Thursday!

One of my personal favorites...
(click to see bigger picture)

Need I say more?

Today started like any other day...pulled my sorry ass out of bed, drowned myself in the shower and proceeded to pull on what ever clothes I could find that were clean. Said my daily hello to the family pets, place Eartha's cage near the male birds (so they can have company), checked water bottles and food bowls, felt over Oreo to check if her cancer lumps were bigger, etc...and headed out the door for my one and only class today.

That is my daily beginning on Thursdays. Real thrilling....until I got home....

Mum has left earlier for a few days (for some kind of meeting) so I expected the house to be quiet, but not as quiet as I got when I entered the house.
Samson came up to greet me, but I noticed he was more "avoidance" of me, which is highly weird to me. He has never avoided me like that before. Then I notice that Darwin is not coming to greet me, since he is slower due to his age. So I go looking for him. He's not in the kitchen, not in the living room, or even in my bedroom.
Next I notice the parent's bedroom door is closed and, out of curiousity, I opened it and found Darwin there...with red smears on his white fur.

Eh? O_0

Staring at him in concern, I find a note from mum that says "Darwin is in the bedroom since he attacked Samson. Keep eyes on them and make sure there are no serious injuries on their bodies. Love Ma." Yeah...thanks for leaving me the mess to clean up...

So happy that I know how to mend up the usual bite wounds (ear tears, cuts, scraps, small holes), but nothing compares to what I kept finding on them; Darwin has two bite marks on the side of his face, two on a front leg and a huge hole in the armpit of the same leg. Samson has a through-and-through hole near the base of his ear and another hole near the tip of his ear. Being in how much pain both are in, they were good sports with my cleaning of their wounds.

Frankly, I had not found the hole in Darwin's armpit until a few hours later...and that one is of concern, considering where it's located. So, I called up a vet who is a friend of the family. He told me that Darwin's gonna have to go in and be checked over, given shots and have a deep cleaning of the wound. Samson's ear, as he said, will be just fine since it is exposed to open air and will heal much better because of that. I can understand that since we've had cut ears before. But, where the hole is on Darwin, it will have to be checked. Since it's located where there's moisture, constant rubbing, etc, it would not heal very well and can get infected.

So, we're off to the vet in the morning!

Next, mum called up and told me what had happened and she's blaming herself because she gave them rolls to nibble on while she was getting ready to leave and one of the dog's tried to steal the other's. I told her "it could a bunch of things that started it, ma, and stealing the other dog's roll sparked it. It must have been the stress of you getting ready to leave, the nerves going high in them and stealing the food made them snap."
She agreed with that and told me she did everything to break them apart from kicking, hitting, and doing a push and pull kind of move. It used to be, slap Darwin's behind and they stop right then and there, but only with me and dad. With mum, they kept going until she managed to pry Samson's head away from Darwin.

At this point, I'm not mad or angry with them. I'm more concerned with their injuries that are going to heal over the next week or so and them getting along well. After mum hung up, dad came home from work and I explained everything to him and he said that Darwin'll be off to the vet in the morning, as suggested. He also said, with a smile, that Darwin's been punished enough for what he had done and will be getting more tomorrow when he's being checked over, poked and prodded.

Yep, all's fair with love and war with these boys. Weird really, since this only happens every blue moon and this is the bloodiest they have been ever. I'm not holding any fault on anyone in this...it was the dogs getting their stress and anxiety out all at once. That's never a good combination for anyone in this house.

Oh, good God yes! Ten years ago, I was a stubborn 10 year old, struggling with the fact that we were always moving, loosing friends, making new friends (tried so hard not too!) and just miserable. Today, I am more mature person who is trying to find a path in life-trying to find out who I am. I thought getting through middle school was hard, but trying to find my place in this world is so much harder....

Yesterday, my brother had told me that one of his classes started watching Sweeney Todd and I just had to get the movie before they were able to finish it.
I have watched it three times already and can't get over it, it's that awesome! I have always been a fan of Tim Burton's work and with Johnny Depp and Alan Rickman in the same movie together is truly hard to pass up.
I have to admit that they all have great singing voices and Johnny really impressed me with his voice and just highly impressed with the entire film.

I really can't wait for the new Alice and Wonderland to see Johnny, Alan, Helena and Tim working together again.

And now, to watch Sleepy Hollow. =)

So, I have decided to go through my fanfics and fix them...yep, I'm insane, right?

Right now, I'm fixing chapter six of my fic "mistrusting" and having fun editing/adding/re-sentencing everything-such joys!  Since my writing has been getting better, I see it fits that I fix what I see to be fixed, since I see that it's just going to bug me in the near future (actually, bugging me now! lol )

Earlier Wednesday, mum and I made the decision to remove one of the female finches from the main cage as the males were picking on her to the point of pushing her off of the poles. It was highly concerning me and I took the chance to remove her from the bullies and we moved her into another cage that mum had bought earlier in the day.

Going downstairs, at 1:30 this morning, to get some Theraflu for my flu (been fighting it for over a week now), I wanted to check on her while the water was heating. Much to my grief, I found that little Yzma passed away in her sleep. Much to my sadness, I reached in, carefully extracted her from the nest she was in and went to the parents bedroom where I told mum.
Due to the old way we used to "dispose" of finches that had passed on, which I highly hated, she said that once the ground was soft enough, we would give her a proper burial in the backyard.
So, for now, she's been carefully wrapped in a paper towel, gently placed into a sandwich bag and tucked into a small container, her home for the next some months is the little freezer in their room.

I'm depressed and crying that I, being as I wanted to care for her and help her get better, was unable to help her get healthy and relieved that her suffering is over. No more males will pick on her, pushing her off of the poles and treat her like crap. I knew, that by getting her, she was a special needs bird with three other special need birds. It got to the point that she was falling and they were rising. And it was too late.

As said in Wicked, No Good Deed goes Unpunished.

We had a discussion about this in class a few weeks ago. We were originally talking about race and segregation and all that wonderful evilness that makes my skin crawl until one spoke up and said that the original words to Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Mo. I was raised up to say "catch a tiger by the toe" and not one of the original verse of it which is:

Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Mo,

Catch a n****** by the toe,

If he won't work then let him go;

Skidum, skidee, skidoo.

But when you get money, your little bride

Will surely find out where you hide,

So there's the door and when I count four,

Then out goes you.

*I stared it out in wishes to not offend anyone!

I looked at her when she said that and I was like "What?!" Terry could only nod and I ended up looking over at the Professor and he nodded as well. Talked about it later that night when she picked me up and she told me that she was raised with "catch a nickle by the toe" which never made sense to her since a nickle doesn't have a toe!

I looked it up later on and saw there were many different versions of it and majority of them are just awful. So glad I was sheltered in my early life. >_>

Yes, I prefer the version I grew up knowing and don't get me started with Ashes to Ashes. Some children lullabies are just terrible! -nervous laugh-

91 movies I have seen...that's just crazy! Didn't know it was that many, but then again some movies I have seen are not on here.
