So I was thinking yesterday what my scariest moments in my life have been. This was brought on from watching Amazing Race (oh I love that show), there was someone that fainted from like over heating or exhaustion or something. OH SUSPENSE! haha. Well this put me in memory of a few times I have blacked out etc.
Top Freakiest Moments in Aria's Life:
----- India. Over there I got sicker than I had ever been before. Not to mention being in a foreign country, hiking, and crazy jeep rides to make things a whole heck of a lot worse when you're sick. I am pretty sure I had a horrible fever - (I had I think a quilt my sleeping bag and all my warmest clothes on when I got to my room.) I started getting stomach pains like no other, cold sweats and shivering.
I can remember it all too well - lying in my bed praying that I wouldn't die here. Never prayed that prayer before... ah well. this is my post from when I was just getting well again. I did journal but it's burried in a box right now, and that gave more detail on what happened.
---- Near drowning. I remember swimming in the pool near my grandparents trailer up by Cultus Lake. Mik was there with her friend and they thought that it would be hilarious if they held me under water and not let me up. (Mik was like 4 or 5 so she obviously didn't know better) So anyways, I remember being held under by my head and flayling my arms around trying to get lose. Running out of air. Trying to actually hit them so I can move, then finally finally I get out. Freaked me right out.
Anyways, those are two of my scariest moment that I can think of off the top of my head, I don't think I have any suppressed ones or anything but then.. who knows.
Anyways, time to go help with dinner.
conversations
I find myself apart of the strangest conversations lately.
well perhaps not lately, usually would be a better word for it.
It depends on the company of course. Since I work in a hospital the grossest conversations can come up as a common occurrence - topics include - vomit. bowel movements. blood. needles. psych patients (that one is a fun one). surgical procedures. super bugs and diseases. the list goes on. and on.. and on..
Then at home, the same conversations happen. (Though different and sometimes just to bug Mik.) But for the most part its the highlights and lowlights (?) of the day.... which usually include the work topics. (Oh but no worries there are other conversations besides these)
When the extended family gets together they usually end up talking about medications.. the different ones that they are on, the ones their friends and family are on.... Is this normal?
I am not phased in the least anymore by most topics. The other day a girl at work started talking about her sisters endometriosis (and hers), describing bowel movements, scopes, surgery, and on and on.. This was over lunch. It all started when I asked how she and her sister were knowing they were sick lately.
I also like to go for the shock value... Mik being in middle school is learning new words. Biology is one of my favorites to tell her words and not tell her the meanings. She has been teased about her last name lately too. Siemens... So I call her Mik Siemen. just to get her going. See, I was never teased about my last name (unless I somehow blocked it all from memory), I was mostly teased over my first name. ah well, I get a kick out of teasing her and seeing her reactions. I caught my mum off gaurd so badly the other day by blurting out a biology term to Mik over dinner, that my mum almost had some food or something come out her nose from laughing so hard.
Anyways, time to go to bed or something like clean my room.... getting too messy for me.

Australia!
Oh I just finished watching Australia! I really enjoyed it - at first thought it comical but I was so absorbed.
I am all alone tonight so I flicked off the lights, cranked the new sound system and watched. The surround system I think is pretty fantastic. Makes the hooves thunder all around and oh so fantastic.
This movie has been waiting for me to watch it for a while now, I was waiting, waiting, waiting for someone to watch it with me, but tonight just seemed so perfect to watch it. plug plug click and woo I had a lovely evening by myself. That never happens.
Do you ever catch yourself watching a movie and then some how finding your hands over your mouth in shock? or at a crazy part holding them over your face? I actually found myself doing this. I think it's a 'only watching movies alone' moment but strange. oh well
Oh and Hugh Jackman? He's ya know, pretty awesome.
So right now I want to go fly back to Australia and travel some more. Shucks.

Teenager?
I have stolen this from Them Lytt Girls
"Clicking the play button below will produce a tone that is generally only heard by people under the age of 25."
Take the test!
Are you under 25 or just young at heart?

fbook friends... srsly.
A couple things on facebook here. Mostly the friends part of it.
Don't you just hate those people who add as many people as possible to their friends list that they don't even know?
For a little bit I was one of those such folk.. this is when I first got on fbook and thought it was cool.
Now it's getting annoying. Now I went through my list and started deleting people I don't know very well or anything.
You know those people who you know as acquaintances and just ask you 'hey how are you?' in a message and never respond again? Well maybe it's only me... ah whatever.
Or in my travels meeting loads of new people and them all adding you, you think 'heh maybe we could meet in another trip' ... hmm ya maybe not. Right now I have too many of those people on my list who I rarely talk to and more than likely never will remember me. Time to purge. Delete. Delete. Delete.
But then for those lazy people (like myself) you just leave them until you look and say 'who the heck is that?' and then click on something else. haha
Anyways, enough rambling. The other day Mik posted one of those ' tag the funny pic' in her pictures, and sure enough someone I had no idea who he was added me as a friend.... Mik's friends ex boyfriend (who is about 13 years old).
Seriously?
A few days back I got a random 'friend request' add... some guy from Egypt. It made me laugh as soon as I saw it. Cause you know... who doesn't know someone named Ahmed Arafa?
This persons picture was pretty awesome and I will try and hope it links for you.
Okay I know it's not very nice to laugh at that picture.... but it is hard not to? And come on.... asking for it?
ah well I am 'such a meanie-bonk-head' as someone has once called me.

subliminal messaging?
Well I woke up this morning thinking of Malcolm in the middle. This is because upstairs my family was watching an episode bright and early. The very episode I thought of watching. Though, I don't remember even waking up and hearing it.
This late morning, my lovely day off, I was sitting in the living room playing some game on the internet and listening to all my music on the lappy on random. The Lord of the Rings soundtrack being part of my library played. My mom, not knowing what it was, was suddenly inspired to watch a Lord of the Rings movie today.
Out of 4 movies that we ended up picking, LOTR was decided upon by means of 'eeny meeny miney mo' (not sure of the spelling)
and right now we are in Hobbiton, it just makes me smile thinking of it.

Long time no post
I think I have had that as my title quite a few times before now. Oh how unoriginal of myself.
Lately, my life has consisted of work, go home, eat, sleep. sometimes popping in a 30rock episode or two. In the past month I think I went shopping like twice, besides the 'run in the store and grab a loaf of bread' shop. Ah so boring.
hm new stuff....
I love to go to starbucks if I have time before work and sit, enjoy a cup of coffee, and read my book (whatever book that may be)
I especially like it when I have more than 30 min there. My time to relax and read. and try not to think.
oh well.
Today I am going out for coffee with a pastor at our church. In about 20 min.
I woke up earlier than I planned today - I don't know what I was thinking, but up I am. The power flickered and messed with my clock so I fixed that at ten to eight this morning, and then I don't know, thought my coffee was at 9? meh who knows.
anyways, enough of my ramblings.
I do this right now to make it look like I blog more often than once or twice a month, even if it contains nothingness.

code black
Story of the day:
Today was starting out like most days, I get up, get ready, go to work. ( I work at the hospital btw)
On the way to work I talked on my phone to my friend and she was telling me that the hospital was on lockdown... This being unusual I thought heh I work soon enough I am just going to grab a coffee and go like normal. Also thinking that this friend usually exaggerates so no big deal.
So I get to the starbuck near work and aw what a lovely coffee is cafe verona... anyways, time to go to work. I get there and see lots of cops and a crowd at the front entrance. They weren't letting anyone in (or out?) So getting closer to the entrance I see a van load of housekeeping friends and they tell me the scoop about this code black ... in other words bomb threat. This didn't seem to phase them at all so I didn't let it get to me. So I stop and chat and then go towards the entrance and join the crowd.
There was a security gaurd and a police man at the front along with my manager, she was asking when her people can get back to work, and then points at me and says 'Oh Aria can come in now' and before you know it, I am walking into this uncleared building while it is still being searched etc.
I guess it seemed safe? I mean it wasn't being evacuated or anything right?
Ah well, about an hour later the PA came on and says ' Code black ended' or something or another. The end.
There is my story of the day. Safe and sound and still not knowing if my life was in real danger today or not. Thinking to myself was I stupid to enter? I don't know.
But suposedly these happen ever few months or so?
Ah well, no blood guts and gore today.... though yesterday in maternity.... hahahahahaha never mind.

snow snow go away. go visit california.
I am not a fan of snow anymore. Today I woke up thinking ooo maybe it will be sunny like the last week! no.
Snow everywhere and coming down in heaps and bounds. Oh well, I can't change it, the only thing I can change is where I live, but I can't even do that right now.
So I will live with this snow I guess.
At least it's pretty?
I go to work today but first is a stop in starbucks for a nice coffee. I got a couple cards that you can redeem songs through itunes from there, right beside the counter where you get the coffee. It's lovely. I love new music so hey! let's get some.
I also love having friends that work there. The other day I came in and my friend was working behind the counter. She wondered what I was up to and my mentioning physio and then work, she said 'ooh! this one's on the house today!'
Ah that made my day for sure. The day went so well ah I think about it and sigh. hahaha
So on the to do list this week -
Paperwork for work
Contact workmans comp and tell them I am being screwed over at work.
Call Dell and tell them I screwed up my lappy.
But today!
Go by bus to work
Sit and drink some coffee while I read a lovely new book (not sure what yet though)
then walk another block to work
until 11pm
then watch something, maybe 30Rock before sleepy time.
Sounds like an okay day... hope it goes as okay as it looks if not better.

Music of today - Jon Foreman
I bought a new cd. It's been ages, but it's good to to.
Jon Foreman (the lead singer from SwitchFoot) made a CD called Limbs and Branches.
Here is a song
The Cure For Pain
I quite enjoy this type of music. The mellowish folky indie kind of stuff is what I listen to a lot a lot.

Moby was playing on shuffle on my laptop just now. I like it occasionally. I remembered seeing the video ages ago so I thought I would post it. There are two songs and it seems a continuing story through the video.
First is In This World

New layout! once again!
I've been wanting to do a new layout for a long time now, and I finally got to it. I googled an image of a coffee cup and voila!
The past couple days I've been looking for a new layout/ template but couldn't find one I really liked - the premade ones you can just google -blogger template and there are a bazillion but no not one that I could find that would work for me.
So I had to make my own.
One question though, pink or brown?
this blog vs. this blog
lol I just looked at my blog again and it made me laugh... all those random pictures with such a pretty looking layout.... hahaha so random.
