Greetings, Everyone. I hope everyone is having a lovely, relaxing, restful weekend so far. Well, I seem to be back to 95% of my normal health, after being completely and utterly wiped out by my allergies. I haven't been around TV.com as much since the big level glitch was going on, and also since I was sick. But, I think I'm just about over my submission slump, since I managed to FINALLY get to level 37.

Another incentive for me to visit TV.com was the really cool chat with NCIS stars Pauley Perrette and Cote De Pablo this past Tuesday. It was really cool, and while I didn't get any of my numerous questions picked to be answered (believe me, it wasn't for lack of trying:lol it was still quite enjoyable. Hopefully, there will be more kinds of chats like that. If you happened to participate in that chat, please visit HERE, and post that you participated in the chat to get a cool new emblem. Wanna see what the emblem looks like? Well then, take a LOOK at this person's emblems. Hopefully, this new emblem won't go MIA like that American Idol poll one...

Seeing as how nothing too noteworthy has happened to me that's worth blogging about, I'd thought I'd share some more nice pics, plus a This Or That Quiz. Hope you enjoy.

THIS OR THAT

Save 500 people's lives.
Have an alarm clock that wakes you by slowly making your bed ice cold or an alarm clock that wakes you by shaking your bed violently?

Hmmm, well, seeing as how I'd rather not have any bodily damage come to me, I'll opt for the cold bed.
Run into a wall or fall down the stairs?

Run into the wall. I run into so many walls, it doesn't even faze me anymore.
Be a pirate or be a ninja?

A ninja, because Ninjas > Pirates. Oh, and I have some martial arts training, so it would suit me.
Be the #1 entertainer for 4 years or be president of the U.S?
I'd rather be an entertainer. Being President at this time in history just seems like too stressful a job.

The ocean floor seems like a safer choice.Be a superhero or be a super villan?

Superhero.

Have cookies and milk or juice and crackers?

Mmmm.... milk and cookies (especially chocolate chip!)

A castle, since I can't swim, and what if there was some kind of horrible tidal wave or excessive flooding.
Be Jonny Depp's girlfriend or have Johnny Depp's salary?

Salary!
Be the same age forever or live to 100?

Well, I don't want to live to 100, but do I really want to be 20 years old forever???

Again, still don't want to become the next Internet meme, so I'll stick with my obscurity.

Have lived in the 8th century or be born in the year 3000? (If the world still exists then)

The year 3000... after all, was there really any advantages of living in the 8th century? Be a mad scientist or a private investigator?

Gabriella PI! I like the sound of that!
Have rain for a year non-stop or have nothing but sunshine for a year non-stop?

Sunshine, since without it I get sorta sad.

I took this the other night at RCIA. Pretty cool, huh?

Have a great rest of the weekend, Everyone!

Greetings, Everyone! I know it's been ages since I've had a new blog, and I was all set to do a Quiz-Blog, but my plans were sadly interrupted with a hectic week. To top it off, I've been really sick the past few days with allergies. I actually was feeling a LOT better today and was up and active, but when I went to Mass, I litteraly almost passed out in church. Thankfully, one of my fellow RCIA members (who's also a nurse) was sitting next to me, and helped me outside into the air. Sigh... what a crazy (and pretty scary) experience.

Anyway, instead of a quiz, I'd thought I'd just post some pics I took the other day in my yard.

It's sad to think that these pretty trees are what's making me feel horrible.

Another thing I forgot to mention... I changed my icon to Bea Arthur the other day, after I heard about her death. She was an awesome actress, not to mention my favorite Golden Girl. May she rest in peace.

So, that's about it. If I don't respond to your comments right away, or get to your blogs, just know it's because I'm most likely sleeping in order to fight this ailment. Actually, sleeping, rather then being on TV.com hasn't been so bad the past few days, mainly due to the level halts. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great week, and enjoy the following picture of what I believe is THE coolest lamp ever.

Greetings, Everyone! Well, it's official! I'm now officially a part of the Catholic Church. Last night's ceremony was the most beuatiful thing I have ever seen in church, and it was an amazing honor to be a part of it.

First there was the lighting of the Easter flame in the repository of the church. Then there was 3 readings by the flame's light. After that, everyone proceeded into the main part of the church in complete darkness, and began to sing the Gloria hymn, during which the lights were turned on. That part was so beautiful and symbolic. After that, there 2 members of my RCIA group were baptized, and then we were all Confirmed together and then recieved Communion. There was so much beauty to the whole ceremony that it's really hard to find the right words to even begin to describe it. So instead, here are some pics that my mom took during the evening.

I know these are small, the originals I have are MUCH better.

On a parting note, let me first say that I hope everyone's Easter is very happy and blessed, and please enjoy the pictures, especially the one below, of my saint, Mary Magdalene, and enjoy the SONG I picked out for this day.
