I have done the unthinkable.... I joined Twitter.

**winces as people start throwing things at her**

But! If you, my friends on ze Internet, also have Twitter, and don't mind seeing my madly twittering updates, feel free to go watch me here: http://twitter.com/llynquennel

Or you could just, I dunno, reply to this and I'll add you. Up to you. ^^;;;;

Am experimenting with new layouts for my LJ. My previous one was great, but a bit hard to read on darker monitors, so I got tired of squinting at work and decided to do something about it.

First temp shift at the new job tomorrow. **eeps!**

Go read this.

It really makes you think.

I am about to go to bed after approximately eleven hours of work and commuting.

I have to be at my other work in eight hours. Followed by another shift at the station immediately after I'm done.

If I'm incommunicado, this is because I am collapsing against my husband due to extreme exhaustion.

Me go ded now. **THUNK.**

This message brought to you by: two part-time jobs with crazy hours.

For those of you wondering where I've been the last week, my grandmother died this past Sunday. The funeral was Thursday.

I'm taking the whole thing rather well, all things considered. These last two years weren't nice to my grandmother, as she was diagnosed with multiple myeloma not too long before she met my husband for the first time. Multiple myeloma, for those who don't know what it is, is cancer of the plasma cells, and rarely does someone diagnosed with the disease live more than two years past the diagnosis date.

I guess the strange thing is that I'm not really sad about the whole thing, at least, not in the traditional 'weeping my eyes out because my grandmother is dead and gone' sense. I mean, I'm sad that I'll not get to see my grandmother again until I die. I'll miss her terribly, and have since she passed. But I wouldn't wish her back; not the way she was when she died, anyway.

If I could have my grandma from five years ago back, the one that cooked like a fiend and went walking for two miles every day and did water aerobics and drove to see everything her grandchildren ever did... if I could have that grandmother back, I would wish with all my heart.

As it is, I'm glad that my grandmother is free of pain, and is with her Lord as well as her husband and family that passed before her.

But I'll miss you, Grandma Jane. Love you so much. And always will.

On August 9, 2008, I married my best friend and love, Aaron Michael Elliott.

I couldn't possibly be any happier. :D

I am disappearing for the next several days, if not longer.

Do not be alarmed. I am simply moving. I will reappear again once I have Intarweb Access once more. :D

I'm occasionally a little more introverted than this, but.... for the most part, pretty accurate. **goes back to being bored at work**

I generally don't get a chance to sleep in very often. Thanks to my last semester's "must be up by 7:30 or I'm screwed" schedule, my body isn't quite used to this "Oh, I can wake up at nine and still be okay" malarkey I've got going on now that I no longer have to take classes evar again.

But still. I was looking forward to waking up at 8:30, only to be woken up at seven by **WHAM WHAM WHAM WHAM WHAM** outside my window. Apparently, the maintenance man thinks none of us sleep in. EVAR.

And he's still going at it. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO PUT UP AN AWNING, YOU MORON?!?!

All right. I am appealing to the my online friends list, for Aaron and I have run into a spot of "Iunno" in the wedding plans. Namely, we're entirely unsure of what sort of music to have at the actual wedding itself.

Right now, we've settled on "Pachelbel's Canon in D" for the wedding 'march' piece, and possibly "I Will Be Here" by Steven Curtis Chapman as a solo. However, I think we need two more songs that are instrument-only, and possibly one more to be sung as a solo/duet/whatever.

I'm opening the floor to suggestions. If you can provide a sample of the music (youtube video, clip somewhere on the web, whatever), Aaron and I would be forever grateful. We just have no clue on what other songs are good for this type of thing; we're both kinda clueless. ^^;;;
