The boyf and I doing the JDRF diabetes walk on October 25th. My little sister has diabetes and she’s awesome 
Our team is called Sam’s SuperWalkers. We did this walk 2 years ago and it was a lot of fun. My cousin and her boyfriend are joining us this year so our team will be a little bigger. If you are interested in donating, you can go here:

I would greatly appreciate any donations I’m not going for a prize or anything, I’m hoping this will eventually help my sister and all the other people affected by diabetes.
Thanks a lot and I’ll be sure to post pics from our walk when we get home that weekend.

‘Music’s what I need to keep my sanity’ (Paradise-311).
and this is all you get from me today. For some reason, I broke out in hives all around my new tattoos and it’s all I can do not to scratch the hell out of myself.
Holy shit! June 16, 2009

Yeah, that’s right. A new post
So, I’ve seen a bunch of movies since the last time I posted. Crank 2 was goddamn hilarious (I will see any movie that Jason Statham stars in), Wolverine was ok (it was exactly what I was expecting, which wasn’t all that great to begin with), Star Trek f’in rocked (altho it needed more Scotty), Terminator was good (made me long for Batman), Night at the Museum was not as good as the first one (Amy Adams was good tho), and The Hangover was so frickin funny (I love the ‘reh-tard’ in the beginning-it still makes me giggle, as did the baby getting hit w/ the car door). We finally made it to see Up in 3D this weekend and yes, I did cry. It was sad in a couple parts. Dug was awesome, I’d watch a whole movie about him And the Party Cloudy short before the movie was super cute!
I also started a new blog called ‘After the Movie‘. I let you know if there is anything after (or during) the credits so you know whether you have to stay or not I only have a few movies up now and if you’d like to help, just let me know.
I fell in love with 311 all over again, thanks to ‘Uplifter’. And 2 weeks from today, I’ll get to see them live! This will be my 11th time. I can’t wait to hear some of the new songs 
The new(ish) Incubus comes out today, Monuments and Melodies. I’ll be seeing them for the first time on August 8th.
Oh and I did get to meet Chuck Palahniuk again. I was #47 in line. I got to meet him after the Q&A, which was pretty funny. I was just bummed that I didn’t get a penguin 
But he was awesome and now I have a signed copy of ‘Lullaby’ and ‘Pygmy’ to go with my signed ‘Choke’. I found out that Stephen King is doing another round of signings for Under The Dome and the first event is in NYC. Yes I’ve already met him twice but c’mon! It’s Stephen King! Plus I’ll probably get to see some Skemer buddies too.
I had my wisdom teeth out on June 1st. That sucked big time. I am glad I only had 4 wisdom teeth. I can barely remember Monday. I had the whole week off of work but it wasn’t like I thought it was going to be. I felt like shit so I didn’t feel like doing anything and I barely read any books. I did manage to read the Scott Pilgrim series and I really like it. I can’t wait til book #6 and the movie Now I’m finally reading some Christopher Moore. And I’ve been buying a shitload of books lately so I have plenty to read once I’m done w/ Mr Moore. I found out that Piers Anthony wrote an 8th ‘Incarnations of Immortality’ and I’ve missed the last 3 Xanth books so they’re on the way. Also Jacqueline Carey has 2 new books out, ‘Santa Olivia’ and ‘Namaah’s Kiss’.
I did have a lot more I wanted to write about but that was last night and I forgot what I wanted to say. Oh well, maybe next time
This is probably going to be a long one… April 7, 2009

(If you didn’t say or think “That’s What She Said”, I’m disappointed)
So wow…it’s been a month and a half since I posted? Oops.
Well, I went on vacation in March. With my boyf and our friend and her family. Her dad’s fiancee has a time share in PA and she let us use it for a week. It was awesome. I spent a lot of time just relaxing and reading. We attempted snowboarding but we both sucked big time. So we tried skiing. I couldn’t get the hang of it and lost my patience and went home. The boyf picked it up just fine. I’ll try again, with a proper lesson and all…Our anniversary was March 13th (Friday the 13th..haha) so we went horseback riding. It was my first time and it was great. I kind of felt like I was going to fall off the horse a couple of times but I really enjoyed it. Then we went to see Last House on the Left. It was pretty good. Better than the original. We finished up with dinner at Cracker Barrel Nice way to spend our 5 year anniversary.
Work is still annoying…hopefully getting better soon. I’m trying to handle things better. Like this one asshole has a humongous attitude about everything and she never does anything wrong. I gave her something to fix and she threw it across the table. So instead of going off on her and calling her all kinds of colorful expletives, I ignored her and went right to the manager. I’m not the only person having a problem with her so hopefully something will be done. Everyone is under enough stress already with policy changes and things being cracked down on that should’ve been cracked down on all along. Don’t need to be stuck working with people like that.
Last week I finally went to have 2 problem teeth removed. One was a remnant caused by a root canal and the other had a huge cavity and wasn’t worth saving. So I went to the dentist and they couldn’t get me numb enough. The guy went thru 4 vials of whatever he was using…still felt it. And he didn’t believe that I was feeling pain. He kept saying ‘Oh it’s just pressure!’ while I had tears in my eyes. I wound up missing work on Monday and Tuesday cuz my mouth hurt so bad. They gave me Vicodin but it didn’t do much except make me sleepy and lightheaded. Yesterday, I went to an oral surgeon to get knocked out to have the teeth removed. Now I’ve been knocked out for procedures twice before. Both times I woke up, I was ok. Just felt like I had been sleeping. This time, I was panicking a little. They had strapped my arms to the chair (one had the blood pressure cuff and the other had the IV) and I kept pulling on them. They wouldn’t let me up until I calmed down. I wasn’t freaking out, I just couldn’t relax. My mouth was stuffed with gauze and I had the nastiest headache. Eventually, I calmed down enough and got out of there. They said they used Novocaine to numb me while I was out but damn..it still hurt. I’m recovering today. They gave me Vicoprofen this time and that sucks. Luckily I still had some Lortab left from my root canal. But now I feel nauseous. And I have to rinse out with salt water all day today. Yuck. I get to go thru this all over again when I have my wisdom teeth out. Whee.
I’ve missed a bunch of TKD cuz of these mouth shenanigans. I started taking my uniform to work so I could leave from work and go right to class. That way I can’t come home and get all comfy and skip class. But I can’t go with my mouth like this. And it really sucks cuz I’m up for my orange belt but I don’t feel ready cuz I missed so much class. Ah well…maybe I’ll have it by May.
Oh, I’m probably going to get to meet Chuck Palahniuk again! He’s doing a reading/signing for Pygmy (comes out may 5th) at the Free Library of Philadelphia. It’s on a Friday but I already got the all clear to leave work early. I’m excited First Chris Moore, now Chuck Palahniuk!
I forgot. I met Christopher Moore. He did a Q&A/signing in West Chester so the boyf and I went up to meet him. I had him sign my copy of ‘A Dirty Job’ and got a pic:
I haven’t read ‘Fool’ yet cuz I was all caught up in another series but I’m sure it rocks
I had some exciting music news too. I knew that 311 has a new cd in June but I just found out that Incubus does too!! 2 weeks after 311. I can’t wait. I’m also going to see 311 this year. In Philly, they aren’t coming to AC this year. But I don’t care Last time I saw them was @ the Borgata in ‘07. I didn’t see them last year cuz they were playing with Snoop Dogg and I wasn’t interested in all that :/ It would be flippin awesome if Incubus decides to hit the Jersey shore! I haven’t seen them live yet. Damn. Just checked. They aren’t playing in AC but they’ll be in Philly on Aug 8th. I’ll be there too Just preordered both cds from Amazon. And since Amazon rocks, I’ll have em both the day the come out Oh hey thanks Amazon! I forgot about the new Green Day too *preordered*
Well I’m starting to feel nauseous again so I think I should try to eat something…And I want to go read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Went to see the Dark Knight for the 7th time tonight Just as awesome and exciting as the last 5 times. I don’t include the first time cuz nothing will compare to that. We went to the IMAX theater cuz I had free tix but they wouldn’t let us use them :p Oh well, I got to see the Dark Knight one last time…in theaters. Now I have the dvd and the boyf’s surround sound. It’s amazing how happy DK makes me
I didn’t watch the Oscars but I read somewhere that Heath won Best Supporting Actor. Damn straight. What’s pissing me off is people saying he wouldn’t have won if he was still alive. Dude. WTF? He fuckin ROCKED the Joker, brought the character to life, right out of the damn comics. But no, he doesn’t deserve the Oscar, he only got it cuz he’s dead. Whatthefuckever.
The boyf and I were talking about Superman and how he hopes they can come up with a Superman movie as good as the Dark Knight. I dunno…No way I’ll like any Superman movie as much as DK but I don’t really like Superman anyway. Batman’s been #1 for me since I was a wee one.
We have our Watchmen midnight tickets. The boyf is reading the graphic novel and he likes it so far. I may have to read it before we go to refresh my memory. We got to see the trailer in IMAX which is awesome. And I got all excited cuz I thought they were going to show a Harry Potter trailer. NO. Just Dumbledore talking, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” and something about IMAX. WTFH. I know now how it feels to have blue balls. Fuck you, HP fakeout.
Only 2 more weeks til we get to go skiing for the first time I really can’t wait. We’ll be in the Shawnee Mountain area for a week and we’re going with our good friend Tiff and her husband and kids. We’re bringing the Wii so we can have some bowling competitions. What’s awesome is that we don’t have to pay for lodging, just food and rentals. I’m just happy to get away from work and NJ. With a the new changes due to the new company buying us out, it’s been a little stressful. And of course, there are other things I need to get away from. I’m going to miss TKD class for a week But I’ll be ready to kick ass when I get back, assuming my clumsy ass doesn’t break my 27 year streak of not having any broken bones. Also, the boyf and I will be celebrating out 5 year anniversary while we’re on vaca. 5 years. Wow. As he likes to say, feels like 50 XP
Well I probably should head to bed…I have to leave work early tomorrow to get a frucking root canal..on a front tooth. And the boyf will be at work so I’m stuck taking care of myself. Oh well, the doc gave me some Lortab (Hydro/Apap) and I fully intend on feeling no flippin pain tomorrow. Last time I got a root canal I got nothing so I had to suffer thru the pain. This time, uh-uh. We were laughing when we saw that he prescribed Lortab because it’s almost Vicodin and all I’d need is a limp (and a medical degree) and I’d be House ;D
Anyway, if I wind up saying anything silly (or sillier than normal), it’s all the Lortab’s fault. Hopefully I won’t be online at all and I’ll be sleeping thru the worst of the pain. And I won’t have to think about how hungry I’m going to be :/ Fuck. My mouth already hurts just thinking about the gdamn dentist.
Off to bed. Hopefully I won’t have any scary dentist dreams…
I won! I won da money! February 7, 2009

(I meant to post this last week but I forgot)
I didn’t really win any money but I did win 2 tickets to see Dark Knight in Imax! Thanks to ScreenRant! They had a contest and I was one of the 5 lucky winners. For those keeping track, this will be my 7th time seeing Dark Knight (2nd in Imax). Yes I am obsessed with this movie.
Speaking of things I am obsessed with, OMG new Fall Out Boy. I gave it a perfunctory listen and thought “Oh it’s pretty ok”. We had inventory on Tuesday and I always work better w/ my music so I threw on my iPod. I decided to listen to the whole cd and damn. I love it. Right now, my fave track is “W.A.M.S”.
I am using my last.fm account again so if you’re interested in what I listen to, check it out: http://www.last.fm/user/BatgirlZKE
I get to see Coraline 3D this weekend And I don’t have to go to Cherry Hill this time. The Frank 16 shows 3D movies…I had no idea til someone told me they went to see My Bloody Valentine 3D there. So now I won’t have to go so far to see Final Destination 4 3D. I’m also going to brave Circuit City to see if I can get a decent cd player with iPod hookup for a nice price. My Drive and Play is conking out on me
I have to try not to go nuts with my money. Our ski trip is about a month away and even tho our lodging is taken care of, there’s still food, gas, lift tickets, and ski rental to pay for. Plus I’m finally getting my teeth fixed so I need to save for that. Altho it’s not as much as I thought. Only gonna cost $275 for 3 fillings and $300 for 2 surgical extractions. But I’ll be able to eat without pain! So it’s worth every damn penny. Altho I am going to allow myself to buy LocoRoco 2 on Tuesday
I’ve been successful in cutting down my Facebook time but now I discovered some browser-based RPGs. DANGER. Ah well. As long as I don’t stop reading completely…I really don’t see that happening. I love reading too much to stop because of stuff on the internet.
Ug. It’s a little after midnight and I still have to take a shower. 7am comes too early XP
Dear ‘non-readers’ February 6, 2009
Posted by angiebatgirl in Books, Work.3 comments
Hi. I have a few things I’d like to say to you. First, I read books for fun. I enjoy sitting down with a book and just forgetting about everything else for a while. I can do without you asking me “Isn’t it boring?”, or, “How can reading be fun?”. I don’t understand how you can sit in front of a tv for hours and hours, but you won’t find me asking stupid questions like that. Guess what? We’re all different and we all enjoy different things. I don’t appreciate being looked down upon because I choose to read books. I certainly don’t look down on you because you don’t read. Honestly, I could care less what you do with your free time if you’re going to mock me for how I spend mine.
Second, when I am reading, PLEASE do not interrupt me unless the building is on fire. I really don’t want to be interrupted with “Oh, what are you reading? What is it about? Is it any good? Where did you get it?” etc etc. I’m not going to give you a summary of the book and of course if I think it’s good, you may not. If I’m reading, I obviously am not interested in having a conversation with you. Sorry if this comes across mean at all but I spend 8 hours a day at work. I like to spend a half hour of that reading, not talking like I’m forced to do for the other 7.5 hours.
No, I will never have enough books. Yes, I reread books over and over. Why is that stupid? You watch the same movies, listen to the same songs…explain how that is different. Sorry, you can’t borrow any of my books. That is what the library is for. My books are precious to me and I’ve been burned before. I will gladly recommend books for you but don’t blame me if you don’t like them. Again, we are all different and have different tastes. Yes, I read while I eat. It isn’t amazing.
Not only do I read, but I play video games and watch tv shows like Heroes, The Office and House. Just because I read doesn’t mean you can’t talk to me about other things. It’s great how you exclude me from a conversation because you didn’t bother to find out that I do other things besides read. And I’m not going to force books onto you either.
I guess I said all I need to say.
Thanks
Ms. Reader
My Bloody Valentine and my lonely birthday January 21, 2009
Posted by angiebatgirl in Random.1 comment so far
My Bloody Valentine 3D was awesome! I would have liked it if it wasn’t in 3D cuz it was pretty gorey but 3D made it so much better! This was my first 3D movie and I’ll def be going to more, especially since the theater is less than an hour away. OOH!!! Final Destination 4 is going to be in 3D! Fuck yeah!!! I can’t wait! (Sorry, that was a lot of exclamation points but I can’t help it)
I didn’t wind up hanging out with my friends on Sunday. As we were coming home from Cherry Hill, it started snowing. It was coming down pretty hard when we got home so I decided to reschedule. So we watched Stepbrothers. It was funny, I just wasn’t in the mood.
I got my new phone yesterday I love it. I love the keyboard, I love that I can take good pics again, I love that I can have my text messages read to me by a weird robot lady.
That’s the case I got. It looks awesome I also downloaded LocoRoco onto my phone. Hopefully, the battery life is better than my last LG phone.
So my birthday was lonely cuz I didn’t really get to spend it with my boyf. I know I see him every day but my birthday is special, ya know? He took me to lunch and we almost got run over by these 2 old douchebags. I did wind up going to my mom’s for dinner and she made me ravioli and got me a bday cake I got to eat most of the ravioli. It was nice talking to her, I just wish we could have more time alone together.
I watched the inauguration on Ustream. I kinda wish I hadn’t. People were being so goddamn ignorant and it was seriously pissing me off. I mean, we’re witnessing a historical event and these douchebags can’t keep their racism in check for a half an hour. I can’t believe how many people were in DC. It was cool seeing all the places that we went to in DC. Of course, they were all filled with people. I think the estimate was something like 2 million. I hoep everyone got home safely.
I’d like to thank everyone who wished me a Happy Birthday today It made me feel better about spending most of my birthday alone. You guys rock
And now my birthday is offically over.
