My legs are burning and my head is pounding (I literally had the patient I sat with scream/cry for almost the whole shift...). 1/3 Complete. Working as a CNA is always lovely. Only two more 12's then I'm off!
On some cool/happier note, I got to go into LA and Hollywood on Wednesday!
It was fun, I got to see the La Brea Tar Pits (I believe its the world's largest find of fossils in the world...or at least it's up there).
Then I went to see the "Oz the great and powerful" at the El Capitan Theater. The movie was awwwful, but the theater was adorable and a lot of fun! Then we just walked around for a bit and I found Tennessee Ernie Ford's star! In case you don't know he is a really good old old country singer. His voice is so deep and beautiful, I just love his music (Yeah, my Dad playing him a lot growing up I'm sure had nothing to do with my love of his music now). For a taste of his music check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm_PQUWmZ1s or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTW_o4l05OI&feature=share&list=PLBBA07B405D3D1B35
If you don't like it, please don't comment about how you hate it. I don't want to feel the need to kill you...
Finally, we went to the Disney Soda Fountain, where the seven of us split a "Mickey's Masterpiece" Which is eight scoops of Ice Cream, and for seven people who hadn't had anything to eat since breakfast we eat it with in ten minutes.
Over all, it was a great trip! I am looking forward to going to Cambria (it's in California it is beautiful...so beautiful, it will be my spring break trip) it will be a lot of fun. <3
Also I am about half way through the first season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars....goosh I love it. It's such fandom gush, the stuff I like in Star Wars. I really love the time you get to spend with the clones, that are such great characters.
OK finally, I'm thinking of opening an Etsy store to make codex/rulebook/book covers to sell for a little extra money (maybe some other little things more 40k themed as well).
What do you think? Would that be something you'd consider getting?

KQ 6 Review
OK I don't know where to start. I am in a sea of feelings over this game. I will also openly admit as this was a game I played as a child I am biased.
I recall vividly my older siblings playing this, I was 6 or 7 and it enchanted me then. Due to my age I only played a little bit of it and then the CD broke/disappeared and that was the end of it until I found it and bought it on Steam recently. (I did play several years later through most of KQ7 but as I haven't played that one with the new steam purchases I'll leave it out of this.)
King's Quest 6 was released in 1992 and is the last King's Quest game that is pixelated. It was built for PC and to me is a classic.
Overall rating: 10/10
The story is simple to start, Prince Alexander of Daventry sets out to fine the Princess Cassima (who he rescued in a previous KQ game). He is shipwrecked on the Land of the Green Isles and there begins his adventure.
Game play: 9/10, There are a few issues with the game play but as a old single player game I think the interface was pretty easy to work with. Point is mostly taken because of walking being a little tricky sometimes.
Story: 10/10, I honestly cannot fault this games plot in the slightest. You'd think, "oh look another prince save princess game" well yes that's there. But did you know all the things he did to get there? Freak this dude is hardcore, he takes on a Minotaur to save someones daughter. He rescues an abused "Beauty" and thereby saves the "Beast" from his curse. He also goes to the Land of the Dead! And brings back his girlfriend's murdered parents from the dead by doing so much complicated crap! He also saves an entire kingdom from an evil dude. The plot is so full and thought out and with a traditional and enjoyable happy ending I call it a good day.
Graphics: 10/10 as far as pixel stuff goes it was great to me, they also use more I guess of normal animationishness on there cut scenes which there where plenty of. The amount of plot in this story is just perfect.
Music: 10/10 was simply perfect it set the mood of the scenes so very well.
The game is fairly complicated and you must save often. I also encourage the use of game guides unless you really enjoy a good challenge. If you miss something at the beginning only sometimes can you get it still. Other times you will have to go back to a previous save and get the item.
As far as single player games go, this is defiantly one of my favorite ones.

A different kind of tired.
I'm tired of being treated as an object, in the last year I was harassed by 5 guys because I was a female and they could. Two where at my job and three where online. I tried to search myself and see if I had done anything to provoke this. It turned out I had, I wasn't a bitch and treated all people politely.
Growing up, I was encouraged by my parents if possible to be a stay at home mom. But it was never done in a way that belittled me or made me feel less important (as it was mandatory I finished college and lived life a bit before that). Heck, my Dad had us girls outside doing the work of boys since as far back as I can remember. It was said like this, "Men provide financially. Women, provide emotionally." And sometimes my parents will even admit, (my Mom became a nurse when I was 3...I can't remember her as a stay at home mom. Although she says it broke her heart to leave me crying at home.) both have to work to make the ends meet.
It never even entered my mind that women where treated as less then equal or could possibly less. I mean we are all people?
I really hope I can raise my future children (ya know Garviel Scott and Susan Valkyrie) to never treat a women as less then a man. I think if they could have be raised like me so that they won't even THINK of there gender as something important and instead will see there value as person and all people's value equally.
