☁ Reminder- Holiday Card Post HERE~!

☁ Worked for Thanksgiving, so nothing particularly special. They did bring in Boston Market though, so we had turkey and potatoes and gravy. Mmmmmmm. It was delicious. Totally worth working for, seriously.

I saw my Aunt Linda for a few minutes before I left for work... she loves my hair, apparently, and she went "look at how skinny you're getting!" XD She's a liar, I'm nowhere even close to skinny, but I guess I'll take the compliment. :P

☁ Speaking of work, it's kicking my ass again. Scott's father died, so I ended up going in on Wednesday... another six day work week, hooray! -_- Plus there was Thanksgiving and Black Friday and today was absolute HELL. Let's just say that the morning shift did nothing and we were left with all of their work plus our own. UGH. We totally busted our asses. I would so call in tomorrow if I thought I could get away with it. I'm just EXHAUSTED. Is Christmas over yet?

☁ I ended up spending a small fortune for the Black Friday sales... I really need to learn to stay the hell off of Amazon that week. Most of what I got was DVD's and various Wii things. Went a little nuts, but I didn't get more than half of what I had originally tabbed as a possibility, so I'm taking that as a plus. Before sales tax, it was about $180, but considering the amount of stuff I actually purchased? That's awesome. Also it really wasn't that much worse than last year.

Also hopped over to Threadless since they were apparently having a sale. They didn't have one of the shirts that I -really- wanted (this one), but I did get two cute ones (this and this). Including shipping that was $24, which definitely isn't bad at all either. XL in the men's- we'll see how that goes. If they're a little small that's okay, because hopefully I'll shrink into them at some point.

So overall I'm pretty happy, even though I apparently am a tool and forgot a few things. Oh well. I have some stuff bookmarked that I will hopefully remember the next time I go to order something from Amazon. Which probably won't be until after Christmas anyway.

☁ Haagen-Dazs' "dulce de leche" flavor is my new favorite thing. SO GOOD. Thank god they come in little tiny versions.

☁ I'm seriously considering getting a mattress in a box. God. Yes, I'm that desperate for a new mattress, but the other factor is that this way the delivery is then not going to be a huge production. Hopefully. And getting it set up is really easy, according to reviews. This is... probably another "after Christmas" thing. I probably would've gotten it with my Amazon order, but it was actually on the Walmart site and not on Amazon like I'd thought it was. Whoops. No wonder I couldn't find it. XDDD

☁ More and more TSA stories, some pretty horrifying like actual insertion through clothes, fondling through clothes, sexual harassment, the fact that menstrual pads are apparently a threat to security... the truly bad thing about this is that someone is going to have to sue, or TSA is going to have to try to arrest someone for refusal, and it's going to have to go to the courts. That's how our system works. The government pulls something stupid and then the Supreme Court has to say "Uh, no, you can't do that." But it has to GET to the Supreme Court first. That's the really fucked up part about this, is that something really bad is going to have to happen in order for this to stop... and even then, it's not immediate. It could take YEARS unless TSA gets their heads out of their asses first.

.............I think we all know the chances of THAT one happening.

☁ People are nuts: Guy hacks his mother to death with a sword and then says he was just killing the demon inside of her- warning, the story's pretty graphic. The guy sounds schizophrenic as hell, in which case you have to wonder how no one saw this coming. In this other one, a woman tries to cut in line and then threatens to shoot people when she's understandably called on it.

Man, it's enough to make you want to lock yourself in your house. XD

Current Mood: exhausted

(Note: First of all, this entry stands whether the "Burn the Koran Day" thing actually happens or not. He keeps flipping back and forth on it, so who knows. Second, I know there's a couple of different ways of spelling "Koran", the other being "Qur’an", but after some googling I discovered that even Muslims can't agree on what the correct spelling is in the Roman alphabet. "Koran" is what I'm familiar with, and since it doesn't seem to be incorrect, that's what I'm going to use. Absolutely no offense is meant by the spelling.)

( Cut to save your flists from my ranting~ )

Current Mood: angry

☁ I'd love to say that I've been doing something constructive the last couple of weeks, but really... not so much. I've been watching Bleach and doing a bit of reading (read book one of The Dresden Files, now working on the first Percy Jackson book) and fooling around on SW. And LORD. I've gotten back into playing LORD. And Sims. Kind of playing FFXIII, but I'm still stuck, so meh. *headdesk*

Basically, I'm vegging out. Scale says I haven't gained any weight, but I feel like I have. Still eating whatever the hell I want at the moment. Eventually that will pass, I'm sure, but right now I just don't have the motivation to actually DO anything about it right now.

☁ A couple of weeks ago, a co-worker that I hate started bitching at me for something I didn't do... and I kind of snapped. Not super bad- I have that old Irish temper, TRUST ME it could've been a whole lot worse- but still, it wasn't pretty. The manager that was on said he'd never seen me so angry and proceeded to send me home because I clearly needed the day. Oh, and did I mention that when I actually left, I'd been there a whole 15 minutes? It was not even 5 when June started in on me, and I spent almost 10 in the back trying to calm down enough to be able to go up front and not punch her in the face. Yeah. That has to be some kind of record. The week after, I got as much of an apology as I'm ever going to get from her, so everything seems okay there. I never got in trouble either. ^_^;;;

☁ Had an eye appointment just over a month ago and they still haven't called me about my glasses. Maybe I should go over there tomorrow. Getting a little bit anxious about that. I GIVE YOU MONEY AND YOU GIVE ME SHINY NEW GLASSES, THAT'S HOW IT WORKS. Eh. Either they're not done or somebody dropped the ball and they forgot to call me. :/

☁ I'm probably going to need a new cell phone in the next year (pffft, there are pieces coming off, it's only a matter of time). As much as spending the money doesn't thrill me... a new phone would be cool. I'm of two different thoughts here, though. I now have the opportunity to get a cheap, simple phone, return to the "put $20 on it every three months" thing, and just... save a lot of money there. I don't need the full keyboard or the expensive stuff anymore. Plus it's blue. :3 On the other hand, they have this Rumor Touch one that looks really cool. XDDD Thing is, it's $130, a slider-type phone and I hate those, and half of the features require a data plan. I'm not addicted enough to facebook to PAY to use it. The main thing that appeals to me, though, besides the touch screen, is that you can actually put mp3's on it. Plus it has a mini-SD slot. So for me what it comes down to is that I'd be paying $130 for a glorified mp3 player. XDDD Eh, not worth it.

☁ Also I found out rather unpleasantly last night that I'm apparently incapable of just sitting and watching a movie now. I -still- find myself stopping it all the time to do other things. Guh. It took me five hours to watch the Percy Jackson movie last night. Well, in all fairness about four to four and a half, really, because I had my mother talking at me for FOREVER in the middle of it.

Alright, enough of that. ~~I'm sleepy, so I think I'll take a nap~~ (or not, my sister called right after I posted this, go figure) and then read some. Later \o

Current Mood: sleepy

It's been a while again. Hmpf. As it is, I'm sitting on the bus going from Toronto to Syracuse and don't really have a lot to do at the moment, so I figured I'd try to do some sort of update.

Obviously, since I'm on my way back to the States, I already went to go see Aki. It was fun. :D I slept way too much, but hey. It's a vacation. We also took a trip to Toronto which we left entirely too late for, so we didn't get to do some of the stuff we'd intended to do. Whoops. Also saw two movies over the course of the trip: The Lovely Bones first (kind of confusing in parts, mostly depressing, not a bad movie but then I haven't read the book), and then Leap Year (so predictable I could've told you a lot of the lines before they were said, but amusing enough and not bad for a chick flick).

It started off being a disaster, though. The bus trip up went fine, but my destination was a University campus... which would've been fine except the driver dropped everyone off at the completely wrong part of campus and I had no idea where I was. Oh, and there was no payphone. Cue Ver wandering around campus for 45 minutes looking for Aki or a cab or a payphone or SOMETHING, and by then it was almost 2am. Finally I did find a phone and got myself to Aki's place, but it was a fairly traumatic experience. Note to self, next time... have a campus map.

Also the new Greyhound buses are pretty nice and there is WiFi and electrical outlets. SCORE! Speaking of internet and things, I've decided that if bringing the laptop is going to be standard practice when I do these trips, I'm going to HAVE to get a netbook. It's too much of a pain in the ass to lug this around. it doesn't seem that heavy but it is when traveling with it, plus the size makes it awkward to put in my carryon.

This trip was the first time I actually didn't lose money on the exchange- it ended up just about even. O_o I didn't get a chance to change the rest of it back to USD, but that's okay- not like I won't be going back. I'm thinking of it this way... it's money toward my trip fund that I can't spend. :D I haven't counted, but I think it's around 300-400... probably a bit less than half of what I went up there with. I didn't spend a lot this time. I did, however, get a cute bento box and some cool looking chopsticks plus a case for those. And I got an R4 for my DS which is the most awesome thing EVER.

I should probably finish this up, since I have to take some time putting my laptop away and we'll be going through customs in a bit. I'll see you guys later!

Vacation was good. It was nice to have a break, though I could've done without the bugs. I mean really.

I have 10 dollars to get me through the week. Yay! >_< I could take money out of my savings account, I suppose, but I already owe money to that... and I'm going to owe more because the cat is going to the vet today. Ugh. Because I can totally afford that.

I always forget I have the mediaminer account until I get an email from them (seriously, I have like... three stories on there)- I got a notice of a review, and what did I find? "Seriously, wtf? That was a perfectly fine oneshot until the random bits of Shonaoi started slipping in. Dare I even say it was a good oneshot before the shonaoi? (Shonaoi--shonen ai that just barely qualifies as non-yaoi.) Seriously, that was completely unnecessary."
...

..................................................................................

You guys know that I always tell you what the pairing is. While MM doesn't give a lot of space for it, I did warn for Hikaru/Akira, and it pisses me off that this idiot didn't bother reading the summary WHERE ALL THE WARNINGS ARE GOING TO BE, and then bitched at me when they read something they didn't like, as if this was my fault. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE? And the real clincher is that they commented basically anon, so I have no way to contact this person to boggle at them. Of course.

Still alive, believe it or not. When did I start getting so lazy about entries?

Summer has FINALLY arrived. The good news is that this means the constant rain has stopped. The bad news is that it's gone from cool to zomgHOT with no transition period. We just can't win this year with mother nature, I guess. I have bug bites all over, too, my arms and legs are covered in them. Can't... stop... itching... >|

Plans for my vacation have fallen through- I'm not getting a visitor. However, I really do need this vacation. Badly. I'm in "grrneedvacation" mode now, which basically consists of me being bitchy all the time and getting pissed off at stupid little things I can normally brush off. Not good because it makes me more prone to calling coworkers on their shitty behavior, which... is pointless, because my boss sucks and caves to whoever's in the wrong because they whine more than I do. ANYWAY. I just need to get through Saturday and then I have a glorious 8 DAYS OFF. I should clean in that week, but I'll probably sit at the computer and catch up on anime and play video games the whole time. ^_^;;; Whatever, as long as I don't have to so much as THINK about work for 8 days, I'll be happy. :D

The fucking cat has fleas, after my mom and sister insisting that she couldn't possibly. >_< This, guys, is just gross. I guess that explains where all the bug bites are coming from. I am apparently yummy. D:

Anyway, I've got to go, just thought I'd let you guys know that I am, in fact, still living. Just lazy. XD SO don't want to go to work...

Current Mood: hot

Haven't had that much to say, honestly, so I haven't written. "When the tv screen goes blank, it's usually a good idea to turn off the sound." Or something like that, anyway. ^_^;;;

1. Co-workers are driving me NUTS. Don't really feel like getting into that too much, but let's just say that I very badly need a vacation. Well. That and the people I work with need to stop being so freaking crazy. Preferably both.

2. Deadlines: *flails* GAH. ihikago is already overdue. I'm totally screwed on blind_go. >_< DAMMIT.

3. Money in the computer fund, and more goes in tomorrow.......................... *checks account* Er, shit. Or not. I fucked up my math somehow. I guess if I shift some things around, it could still work. Or I will just owe myself the money. Meh. Better to owe it to myself than my mother, and I'll definitely replace it. I think I need to be paying closer attention to what I'm taking out of there again. <_<.

4. On the upside, I made two purchases today that I was going to have to do anyway before Aki came down: a dress to go out in, and a bathing suit. The bathing suit, ironically, cost more than the dress did. Go figure. And the suit is only somewhat mortifying to be in, which is a good thing. So at least that's done and I won't have to deal with it later? And the best part is, they fit now, but even if by some miracle I manage to lose a little weight between now and then, they'll STILL FIT. Woot. Still need shoes though. And a new mattress. Oh, right, and I have an eye appointment at the beginning of June... x_x

5. Finished Gakuen Alice. It's.... weird. Very weird. Now to hopefully work on some more of the things on my currently watching list...

....................don't mind me, I'm overtired and bored because I'm just waiting for my laundry. Guess I should take my own advice and shut up now. XD

1. Computer's been restarting A LOT lately. This combined with firefox crashing quite often does not make for a happy Ver. It also does not make for easy tagging. Meh.

2. Speaking of tagging (well, RP, really...)- don't know if anybody else has seen it, but there's a secret about Matt in rpsecrets. :D I found it amusing. <3

3. I have sent out the last check for the whole hospital thing. So once that gets taken out of my account (*wince*)... I NO LONGER OWE THEM ANY MONEY. \o/ Which means I can start saving for a NEW COMPUTER. SCORE. That being said... most of you know this, but I'm really, really bad at saving money. Well. Small amounts are fine, but anything more than a couple of hundred bucks is more or less impossible for me. I have -zero- impulse control when it comes to certain things. BUT! I may have come up with a solution for this. Every payday, I call and transfer money from my checking to my savings. Preferably before work so I don't spend it in the day. It's automated, so I don't have to freak about talking to someone... and if it's not somewhere I can see it, then I can't spend it. If I'm shopping and try to spend more than what's in my checking account, my card will get declined. Which... yes, would be embarrassing, but it would keep me from spending that shit. The biggest flaw I see in The Plan is that it requires me to actually remember to transfer the money every Thursday. Urgh.

But if this works, I should be able to get a laptop by mid June. \o/ And then more saving for when Aki's planning on coming down here at the end of the summer. :3

4. I'm really, really hating April 20th right now. Two of the shifts at work asked for it off, naturally, because they're potheads- leaving me to work with the store manager and this one idiot cashier all night. -_- I -hate- working with the store manager. It always feels like he's watching everything I do and it's just CREEPY. So thanks, guys. I appreciate that. (For anybody that doesn't know, 4/20 is a pot thing. Like the unofficial holiday for it or whatever.)

5. Writing... has not been happening. FAIL.

6. Naruto: It took 4 episodes to catch my interest, but now I may actually watch it for a while. But I still can't stand whiny Sasuke-fangirl Sakura. <_< Oh, and the OP still sucks. XD

7. Harry Potter: Bunch of news I found out the other day, if anyone hasn't heard:
-Movie 6 got a PG rating. What. The. FUCK. I'm now wondering what the hell they DID to it then to bring it down to PG. O_o
-They -are- putting the epilogue in movie 7. Dammit. I was really hoping they'd skip that. -_-
-Release of movie 6 has been pushed back two days- July 15 instead of July 17. Which makes it a Wednesday and therefore I have it off. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
-Depsite my reservations, the trailer for movie 6 looks good, so I'm still hoping. ^_^;;; I think... this is going to be even worse than the book in some aspects. Now... I hated canon Draco. But in Half Blood Prince, my heart broke for him. Twice. Once in the scene with Moaning Myrtle in the bathroom, and then on the tower (trying to be as less spoilerish as possible, sorry. ^_^;;;). Now... I don't know if they're actually including Myrtle in the one scene, but they did show him in the bathroom in front of the mirror, and then Draco and Harry fighting. And of course they have to include the tower bit. ^_^;;; But from what I can tell in the trailer, they included both scenes, and just from the trailer... guh. In the book, both scenes made me want to hug Draco. The movie will probably be worse. -_-

Current Mood: grumpy

Today is going to be full of fail. It was busy as fuck all weekend, so I didn't get a chance to do ANYTHING that I usually do on the weekends............ and the idiot manager on Monday nights usually has the cashier doing all her work and makes me ring. So it's not getting done tonight either. *sigh* God forbid I get an hour of not ringing and not shutting down so I can actually do the crap I'm supposed to.

.............one more shift. >_< One more and I get two lovely, wonderful days off. I need it so badly.

Current Mood: bitchy

1. SO not ready to go back to work today. Mentally, physically. Just..... ugh. Still don't feel well, which isn't helping matters any. I'm... really wishing I hadn't let Scott guilt trip me into working Tuesday. I really could've used the extra rest.

2. I'm seriously considering apping Elenor from Suikoden IV as either an Astronomy teacher or Caretaker. A ghost could be fun, but the only spot open is Gryffindor, and she's SO not that. .......someone please talk some sense into me. <_< ~~The whole two of you I think that know Suikoden. XD~~

3. I have a new computer chair. \o/ And I found out why the old one had gotten so unstable- the metal plate underneath the seat, the one that holds the seat to the bottom? Cracked. Almost all the way. So it's good that I got this now, because I don't know if it would've lasted another week, and whoever was sitting on it at the time (probably me) could've hurt themselves

4. Also got the boxes and customs forms for shipping. Everything fits, yay! Just need bubble wrap. :P Though the bad part is that my mother has been nosing through the boxes and wants to know where I'm shipping and how much it's going to cost. It's none of your god damn business, go away! *flails* Of course I can't SAY that, unfortunately, and it doesn't help when Kelly tells her shit behind my back. -_-

Sometimes? I really want to run away.

Current Mood: drained

1. Boo for having to work on my day off. Granted, it's only five to ten, but still. Kind of the last thing I need right now, especially with me getting sick again (fevers are fun, yay -_-). And while I understand that Jeremy's sick (which is why I have to go in), it sort of irritates me at the same time. I'm glad he has the luxury of being out for a week plus when I've been sick for over three weeks now and haven't been able to take a single sick day, and actually end up working more because he's out. To that degree? My sympathy is severely limited. *sigh* ......................................... ~~god, I'm jealous of a high school kid, what the hell is wrong with me?~~

2.

blind_go : Still thinking about it. Probably going to end up signing up and then failing. ^_^;;;

3. Suikoden: Tierkreis in a week! SO EXCITED! I'm so, so thrilled that a Suikoden game is going to be on the DS. It's like....... one of my all time favorite video game series. Whether this game sucks or not is a different matter, but still. (I'm disappointed that Viki isn't going to appear in this game. She's annoying, but that Blinking Mirror of hers is a freaking LIFESAVER. Wonder if they'll have another character doing the "zipping you off to places you've already been minus the travel time" thing?) The online bit is cool, but honestly I don't know how much I'm going to use that, considering how my computer is. ^_^;;; We'll see. Either way.... you guys probably won't be seeing much of me for a while starting next Tuesday. Depends on how long it takes for the "ZOMGSHINYNEWGAME!!!!" reaction to wear off. XD

Yes, I have it pre-ordered, and yes, I'm an immense dork. This should surprise no one.

4. Co-workers have been driving me up the WALL lately. Particularly this one guy in Pharmacy who thinks it's beneath him to write rain checks. Twice now he's come up to me when I'm trying to do ten thousand things at once, asking me to write a rain check for someone. Because "it's not what he went to school for!!" ...............................................................................................SOMEBODY in Pharmacy should be able to write a fucking rain check. IT'S NOT EXACTLY ROCKET SCIENCE, GUYS! Not to mention that both times, it ended up being an item that we couldn't write one for to begin with. But of course, checking that the item is actually the one on sale or isn't clearance is too difficult, because they didn't go to school for that, either. What am I thinking?

......there's a lot of rage there, clearly. I need a vacation. Hahahahaha. And now that I've had lunch (fries and clams, nomnomnom), I should probably get in the shower and start getting ready for work. *sigh*

Current Mood: irritated

( Some squee, but mostly bitching. Read at your own risk. )

*EDIT* Actually, apparently one good thing came out of Kelly doing some cleaning... she found my other winter glove while going through her stuff, the one I've been looking for since November or so! So I have gloves again! *cheers*

Current Mood: anxious

Dramadramadrama. *sigh* I hate drama. So why does nearly everyone around me in real life insist on creating it?

In related news, Christmas has been postponed again. End of January now. At this point I'd say fuck it, why don't we just not do it, except that I've already purchased a bunch of stuff. Most of which I really wouldn't have bought for myself. Little snag there. So I have this Saturday off, and I'm going to have to spend it with my mother. Ugh. And then when we actually do the present thing, we're going to have to do it before I go to work, since there's no way in HELL I can get another Saturday off so soon. Meh. Lovely.

Need to try and scrounge up some guesses for bg. Ugh. I don't feel like it, I'm all crampy, which of course means I don't feel like doing much of -anything-. *sigh* Speaking of which, reveals are tonight, so anybody who wanted to go make a guess for me, find my guessing post! It shouldn't be too hard, I'm just too lazy to link to it right now. XD

So I finished Natsume (though apparently there's going to be a season two, dunno if I'm going to watch that. Season one stands alone well as it is), and am now watching Nabari no Ou. I... don't know what to think so far. ^_^;;; AND SEASON TWO OF JUNJOU IS ALMOST DONE, SADNESS! We can hope for a season three? :D

Oh, Fei, in case I miss you- have to go to work at 2 today, so leaving early obviously. And before you ask, no, this does not mean that I get to leave early. Sorry. I'll see you later?

Current Mood: apathetic

A little late, but Happy New Year everybody! Here's hoping 2009 is better than 2008, though that's not looking likely at the moment... *sigh* I don't make resolutions because I -always- break them, but I figure I can probably get at least 5 things crossed off my 101 in 1001 list. Shouldn't be too difficult, right? *crickets* Right? XD

People fail. There's a delay in Junjou Romantica subbing, though at least that I can understand. The subber's computer crashed, and until things are back up and running again, no episodes. Sucky, but understandable. Crunchyroll has pulled all of the anime off it's site and is only allowing "official" uploads now- basically meaning that a ton of stuff probably won't get put back up there. Like Chi. -_- Graaaah. Annoying.

Also, today is

akira_chan 's birthday- happy birthday, Aki! *kiss*

Work soon. Urgh. Do I have to? I'm feeling sleepy and not up to it at all. -_-

Current Mood: sleepy

1. I am apparently a bitch for not being clairvoyant. Pssh. Whatever, mom. How am I supposed to hear you from across the parking lot, or see you, when I think you're in your room and therefore aren't expecting you outside in the slightest? Why would I look? Don't assume I saw you and ignored you, because I didn't. I know how much you think I like to get yelled at, but I really don't. >_<

2. Christmas sucks and needs to be over. Like, ages ago.

3. No power at work on Friday. At all. We ended up closing the store at 5pm, actually, because by then it was dark and cold and it was a safety issue. We'd lost power around 7am that morning and I was told it didn't come back on till midnight. Suuuuuuck. I mean, kinda cool since I got to go home early, but I didn't need to lose the hours either. At least they have to pay me for four hours since I was there, so I'm not losing as much as I would've otherwise.

Oh, and when I made that voice post saying we'd lost power? It didn't come back on for another eight hours or so. Needless to say, I just went to bed. ^_^;;;

4. Also suck? Co-workers. Three cases in point:

( Basically, sometimes I really hate my coworkers... )

So it's been fun.... not so much. I really, really need to be working on my

fifthmus fic. Which is not started yet. Shiiiiiiiiit. Thank god it's only 500 words this time.

Current Mood: aggravated

1. It's so NICE to not have to write every day. Of course, I think this means that entries will be longer on average than they have been, but it'll probably still be less writing overall. Score for you guys. XD

2. My computer's being pissy. Gah. >_<

3. Rightstuf has a 30% off everything sale. *bites lip* Daaaaaaaaaaamn. Lane Bryant has a buy one get one free right now too (Yay bras?). Dammit. At least Rightstuf has their sale going for another week, which means another paycheck. *bites lip some more* This is baaaaaad.

...willpower. I don't have it. XD

4. Apparently I got my review, along with a 30 cent raise. Woohoo. I mean, it's not like I'm bitching about getting a raise or anything, I appreciate getting it, especially when I know a lot of people are getting laid off right now... but I get paid shit. 30 cents on top of shit is still shit. *sigh* I've worked there six years and I get paid just under $9 an hour. That's fucking pathetic.

5. Speaking of work, I have a fun little story for you guys. Okay... so we have this TV set up in the store, right? There's a DVD player underneath it, under a box to hide it, that they play samples of the DVD's you can make with your own pictures. Steven, on Friday, wanted me to change the DVD. Which meant Ver being on a fucking ladder, trying to hold the tv so she could get the stupid box off of the fucking DVD player plus change the DVD, and all the while trying not to fall. Fun stuff... not. Stupidest display set up ever.

But the thing that really kills me? I was up there, and then Ryan (our cashier for the night) came over and wanted me to help him with something on register. O_o Does it look like I can help you right now? I am on a ladder holding a fucking television, okay? I'M BUSY. And then when I was like, "You're going to have to call someone else," he gave me this dumb freaking look and said "Who?"

.............

There were three other people in the store, guys. Seriously. I was going "ANYBODY!" And of course he was continually distracting me, so I could've fallen off that damn ladder anytime. Fucking. Idiot. Way to try to kill your coworkers with your own stupidity.

6. Severe weather advisory out for tonight. Lovely. And it's FREEZING out- literally. Last I looked about a half hour ago it was -0.8 degrees in Celcius. -_- I bet you can guess how much I want to go outside?

7. Dunno if anybody HASN'T heard about this by now, but... here, have a random news article. What the fuck is wrong with people? YOU KILLED SOMEONE TO GET A SALE. My god. And the thing is, how can you not realize you're stepping on someone? Honestly? YOU'D BE ABLE TO TELL. People disgust me. This is why I hate the holidays- from Black Friday on, people turn into MONSTERS. "Spirit of the Season" my ass. Whoever said that clearly never worked retail.

8. Junjou Romantica- YAY.

.....enough ranting, I have to go. See you guys later!

2. Last night was interesting- there was a fire in my apartment complex. O_o In my section, but the opposite end, and luckily it was stopped before it got that far. As it is, 8 apartments were damaged, and they said 4 were a total loss. All because one of the tenants had a grease fire on their stove. *headdesk* People are so stupid. At least no one was hurt, that's the good thing. And also, selfishly, that it wasn't me and everything was settled by the time I got out of work. ^_^;;; Okay, I'm horrible. XD

3. Work was busy, but tolerable. Though I had a customer argue with me about what season it was. *headdesk*

Customer: Do you have snow shovels?
Me: O_o ..........no, those are seasonal, we won't be getting those for a while yet.
Customer: Seasonal?
Me: Um, yeah. We get those in winter.
Customer: But it IS winter.
Me: ........................................................................................................................it's FALL. (*cue mental headdesking*)
Customer: *blank look* It's winter.
Me: .............................................................................................. no. It's not.
Customer: .....but you'll be getting them really soon, right?
Me: ...I'm not sure when we'll get them in. Probably not for a few weeks.
Customer: *chirps happily* Okay!

.......why. Just... why. THERE'S NOT EVEN ANY SNOW YET. *flail*

Okay, I don't have much else to say, so I think I'm going to get something to eat and try to watch a couple of more episodes of Death Note before I have to go to work. I really, really need to start thinking about actual topics here so these aren't so boring. XDDD

Current Mood: hungry

1. Can we just... chalk up yesterday's post to PMS and forget about it? Yes? Good. XD

2. Yesterday overall sucked (not just the shower/mom thing, work too... typical bullshit from this one coworker who makes me want to strangle her on a daily basis), but I came home and watched a few favorite episodes of Chi's Sweet Home and took a shower and then felt a bit better. ^_^

3. I hate my stomach. Urgh. Can the week be over yet? I'm getting a little tired of getting sick from every freaking thing I eat. T_T

4. Apparently when I calculated my Christmas spending, I miscalculated. Quite a bit. As in, the original number was right, but when I was assigning money to various places, I somehow left out $100. *blinks* Not quite sure how that happened. So! That means I can get those Sister necklaces for Erin and Kelly that I wanted to but thought I couldn't afford~! <3 Mine will have to wait until after the holidays, but that's okay. ^_^ And then all three of us will have the same piece of jewelry. <3

5. Also, for shopping... squeeit'sanAlplushie! XD Unfortunately both the Al and Roy plushies I'd want are out of stock. Well... actually, that's probably for the best, at the moment. AFTER Christmas, Ver. Or put it on your Christmas list. Which I still need to make and post to the "safe" journal. ^_^;;; Should... probably get on that... <_<

6. ZOMG. AI. I think I found those socks! Or at least a variation of them, anyway. We have them at work! They are... four dollars a pair after my discount, which makes me cringe, but I'm not finding anything cheaper online, either. I set two pairs aside last night (there are two versions, one's more furry, so I grabbed one of each. XD), I'll probably end up getting them tonight. I hope they're worth it, because man, ten bucks on two pairs of socks.... ^_^;;;

7. Ver: You clearly need to be leaving your cart at work behind the counter so your asshole coworkers don't just take it without even asking if you're using it. I know you're generally okay, but it's still probably not a particularly good thing to be hauling that heavy jug of chemicals all the way to the back of the store without a cart. Love, Me.

8. Crap, I really have to decide about

fifthmus , signups end tonight. Crapcrapcrap.

Hrm. I owe some tags and then I might sit and watch something. Later~

Current Mood: crappy

1. It feels so much later than 9pm. Honestly. This whole getting dark early thing SUCKS. God, I hate winter. >_<

2. I have spent all day doing absolutely nothing. It was nice, actually- four hours working on Final Fantasy X, and I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere, and I'm finally starting to like some of the characters besides Auron, Lulu, and Waka. Okay, Tidus is still a whiny bitch, but he's not AS bad as he was before. And Kimahri had me giggling more than once. <3

3.

fifthmus ... I still don't know. I mean. It's only 500 words this time... I -should- be able to come up with SOMETHING semi-decent before deadline that's at least 500 words, right? I just... I dunno. I'm not really feeling the writing thing right now, and considering that I crashed and burned so badly in the last round of

blind_go ... I'm hesitant to join another challenge just yet. No, I'm not looking for reassurances here, I'm just stating facts. I'll think about it.

4. I haven't taken cold medicine all day today. SCORE~! Okay, so I still have a little bit of the cold I think, but it's not enough that I feel warranted medicating myself for. And I'm sure the crappy feeling is more due to the fact that my body decided to be a girl today. UGH. I hate when it does that.

5. In addition to feeling like shit, the tub is backing up. We can't get maintenance here till tomorrow. I hope to hell it's before work, but being that Mom probably won't get around to calling until late, I won't bet on it. Which means I'll have to go to work without a shower. And I already feel disgusting because of the girl thing. *cries* Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan. I really wish the people upstairs would stop throwing shit down the sink that doesn't belong there. That's what causes our tub and/or kitchen sink to back up every once in a while. Gah, plumbing. STOP THAT!

6. Some Theory of a Deadman songs came up on my music player and suddenly I want to play through Indigo Prophecy again. XDDD Whoops? Speaking of music, I found a couple of songs on my computer that I absolutely don't remember hearing before, much less downloading. The only thing I can think of is I came across them when I was all drugged up and that's why I don't remember? XD I can't even blame it on Kelly because they're most definitely in MY music folder. <_< I mean, it's music I like, so in the end it's all good, it's just... disturbing to me, that I don't remember these AT ALL.

However, this one- With Me by Sum 41- I have a sneaking suspicion that it's Wolfie's fault, or at least the fault of someone from Squarewarts. ^_^;;;

.....I'm clearly not in a great mood, so I'm just going to save myself more embarrassment and shut up. Plus firefox completely hates me today apparently. XDDD

Current Mood: annoyed

...holy crap. O_o

So I had my post op checkup today, right? First thing's first, I was a bit traumatized by the woman at the front desk. Apparently my dad's family lived in her neighborhood when she was a kid, so she was all *squee* about my last name. (The spelling is fairly uncommon- not something you see much.) *twitch* It's like... shut up. I haven't seen my father in ten years and haven't spoken to him in seven. I'd really rather not talk about this. >_< Unfortunately, she seemed incapable of taking a hint. Grr.

After that, though, the appointment went reasonably well. Didn't wait that long (total we were in and out in less than 45 minutes), doctor said everything looked good and the way it was supposed to (yay), and there was a bare minimum of poking. My blood pressure was a bit high when they took it, but I was also nervous about the appointment. ^_^;;; Oh, and the tests that they did came back saying that it really was just plain old appendicitis- nothing weird there. So that's good.

But check this out- the note he gave me for work, as to when I can go back? NOVEMBER 3RD. O_O I think my jaw dropped a bit on that one. I was totally expecting to be back before Halloween, but I guess not. O_o I'm still kind of in shock. What the hell am I going to do for another two weeks out? I definitely need to put a lot more stuff on my to-do list, since that's mostly done as it is. *blinks* On the upside, November 3 is a Monday. I usually have Tuesday/Wednesday off, so this works- I'll work a day and then get a couple of days off to recover from that before I have to go back again. Because I know going back is going to SUCK no matter what. XDDD

Looks like it's trying to catch up on some of this unwatched anime that's on my hard drive...

Current Mood: shocked

Still alive. ^_^ Been sleeping a lot, and the drugs they put me on throw me for a complete loop, but the sleeping is generally a good thing. Keeps me from doing anything stupid. Like. Er. Trying to do laundry. ^_^;;;;; (Yes, I did. I was as careful as possible. It wasn't so stupid that I opened up the incisions or anything, but stupid enough that the pain level was up a couple of notches today. Ugh.

Scott called wanting to know when I'm coming back to work. He was a real ass about it. I wanted to strangle him. Because clearly I planned this ahead of time and didn't tell them, just to screw him over. It's EMERGENCY SURGERY, ASSHOLE. GAH. I had the worst stomach ache of my entire life and it turned out my appendix was threatening to explode, okay? There's not really room to manipulate that, so stop trying to make me feel guilty for not being there. >_< (Besides, if I was going to do something like that, it wouldn't have been on my TWO DAYS OFF. Duh. I don't think anyone wants to spend their weekend in the hospital, do you?)

And since I didn't mention this before... they found a couple of other things while they were trying to figure out what the fuck was wrong with me, since originally the pain wasn't in the appendix area at all. I have gallstones. A bunch of them. Which is... all kinds of fun, but also may never cause an issue. Also they mentioned something about my liver, a possible benign tumor. O_o I only heard this mentioned once, though, so I don't know what happened to that. -_-

All in all... can this week be over yet?

Current Mood: sore

*blinks* Huh. I don't know how the hell it's been six days since my last actual entry (the meme doesn't count). I haven't been extraordinarily busy, I just... haven't felt like it, I suppose.

Drama at work. There's always drama, of course, but at the moment it seems to be escalating. Customers sucking more than usual, hookups, people leaving, one of the shift supervisors being an absolute bastard... god, I hate August.

( Just for fun... a little example of the 'customers sucking more than usual' bit, for the curious... )

In other news, I apparently did something to my left foot. It started around Saturday or so. Whenever I put weight on the ball of that foot, I get a nice little shooting pain up my leg. It's a bit better now that I've stayed off of it as much as possible the last couple of days, but the pain isn't completely gone. We'll see what happens with that. Mom is trying to convince me that I have a stress fracture in my foot because I'm fat. *twitch* Bitch.

Also, my mom goes back to work on September 9th. Sooner than she was insisting, at least. *breathes*

God. Subrosa. I don't even want to talk about it. *cries*

I should go and get something to eat before this gets too much longer.

Current Mood: hungry

Well, SUCK. Last week's check was about 30 dollars short for some ungodly reason, ~~in addition to the fact that the last time I put money on my phone, they charged me for it twice. Bastards. So I've got to go to the bank and make them take the charge off.~~ *sigh* And, you know, I need to look at my check from last week and see why the hell I'm short so much money. Between the two, I lost over 50 bucks- which made KMart decline my bank card yesterday. Now THAT was fun. *sigh again* I'm glad that they don't let me overdraw at this bank, really, because that's just more trouble than it's worth, but at the same time... (*EDIT* I just double checked the bank statement online before printing it out to take it to the bank- the transaction numbers ARE different, so apparently it was MY fuck up, not Virgin's. GAH. Goes to show you how much money I'm sinking into this phone lately. >_<)

In other news, I got a mattress pad on clearance for about $23 yesterday, in the hopes that it'll improve the mattress situation at least a little (since, obviously with everything going on, it's going to be all that much longer before I can get a new mattress)... it's not a miracle cure or anything, which isn't what I was expecting anyway- but it's a bit better. Putting a thin pad between myself and the springs of the mattress = improvement. ^_^ I wish I hadn't had to spend so much money on it, but considering I'm going to end up spending a fortune on the mattress when I can do that, and it'll be a long time before that happens... a solid investment for the time being. ^_^

Issues. Just... issues. The kitchen sink wasn't draining last night, right? So mom's bailing it out so we can put some Drano or something in there, and Kelly and I are right there. Because, seriously, she's not going to be bothered to go dump the bucket in the bathroom on her own, we know this. So we're standing there waiting (I'm on the phone with Akichan, so it's not as boring as it sounds), and she snarls at us, "I DON'T NEED SUPERVISION!" Well, fine. I can take a hint, so I sit down in the living room. Apparently this was a mistake. A little bit later she goes, "Who the fuck are you yapping to? Get the fuck off the phone and help me!!!" Er.... what? *blinks* Not even ten minutes ago you yelled at me for trying to help you. Now you're yelling at me because I did what you said? My god. THEN she's bitching because the water doesn't really seem to be going anywhere, and she announces that she's going to bed. And by the way, I'm supposed to stay up all night and babysit the sink. Um... I DON'T THINK SO. *growls* So I start bailing out the damn sink myself, because I'm not staying up and doing it all night... and as soon as I start doing it, it magically starts going down. Imagine that! *shock* I got the damn thing drained before I went to bed... and the thing that killed me was that mom came out to check my progress or whatever when it wasn't completely drained yet, and then proceeded to wash her hands in the sink, filling it with more water. ................... There are no words. The sink is apparently full again, so it's clearly not fixed, but I honestly don't give a damn at this point. She'd put half a ton of Drano in the sink before I started working on it, and my head STILL hurts from inhaling all that.

Current Mood: crappy

Yesterday was lovely. I got a call at work from my older sister telling me that she was taking my mom to the hospital. *sigh* Cue Ver-freakout. A couple of hours later, after I'd already told the supervisor I was leaving early because I just couldn't be there right then, I got a text from my younger sister, saying that they hadn't gone since mom was feeling a little better. *sigh* I still left about 40 minutes early, stopped and got a couple of things at the grocery store, and was home before I normally would've left. Needless to say, Erin wasn't very happy considering she'd spent thirty bucks on the cab ride to get here only to have mom tell her she wasn't going to the hospital.

But they went this morning, probably about 10:30. I haven't heard anything yet, but then again, she may still be waiting, so who knows. We'll see how this goes. *crosses fingers* I'm really, really trying not to panic.

I need to catch up on reading

fifthmus. Again. GUH.

Oh, did I mention I finished the songfic from hell? XD I'm just waiting for Akichan to read it and yell at me so that I can fix it before posting it. And. You know. Catching up on my writing journal would be good too. <_< I did already start that the other day, though, so I'm sorry about the spam. And there'll be more coming at some point. There's the rest of the chat drabbles, and

blind_go 5 stuff (though the collab won't be posted for a long time, I think. I'm going to edit that first. That's going to take a long time. XD), and

fifthmus... still seems like I'm forgetting something. Huh.

In other news, my monitor is acting weird. Every once in a while it'll do this ripple thing across the whole screen. I hope to hell it's not dying, I really don't need that on top of everything else. I guess the good thing is that monitors are easy enough to come by. I think I have one in my closet that went with my old computer. (Whether it'll work with this one or not is another story, but nevermind.) Worse comes to worse, I'm sure I can get Stef's dad to give me a monitor. He plays around with computers for fun, and has ten bajillion computers and things. And Stef wouldn't mind seeing one of them go, trust me. XD (And before anybody asks, no, I really don't want to get a full computer from him. All of those are wicked old, and I know they don't have specs I can live with on a day to day basis.)

It's almost 20 after one, I suppose I should get something to eat and shower and whatnot. I really, really don't want to go to work.

Current Mood: anxious

1. It kills me. It's 4am and my mother goes, "Get soda out of the car!"

..............

Er, what? Are you fucking nuts? It's 4am! *twitch* GAH.

2. Just found out a little while ago that George Carlin died on Sunday. It's too bad, really, the man was completely brilliant. Incredibly fucked up, but brilliant. I always wanted to see him live, because yeah, he's fucking George Carlin, and that would've been an amazing experience. It's sad to hear that he's gone. Our country needs more people like him. Goodbye, George. You were so funny and so right on, and you'll be missed.

3. I am officially peeling, despite the aloe I've been neurotically putting on my sunburns. Gah. Speaking of which, I went with the "my mom is an evil bitch" story for explaining the burn. It worked. ^_^;;;;;

4. Days off are good, but possibly not so good this time around. Scott's on vacation all this week, so Cheryl the Idiot is running the lab in the mornings while he's gone......... without me there at night to fix all her fuck ups, I'm a little scared as to what I'm going to come back to on Thursday. <_< Probably rightfully so. It amazes me that this woman is old enough to be my mother- and yet she can't figure out something as simple as SPELLING A CUSTOMER'S NAME RIGHT SO THEY CAN PICK UP THEIR FILM. If you're not sure how to spell it, ASK THEM. Honestly, it's not that difficult. >_< Or like today, when she told me that this one digital order had up and disappeared, and it turned out that she'd already printed it and hadn't noticed. Or leaving me with a roll of film due in ten minutes that hasn't even been through the film processor yet (that in and of itself takes fifteen, plus printing takes anywhere from five to ten more minutes). *twitchtwitch* God, if I don't strangle her by the end of the week it'll be a miracle. It's like... you are twice my age, get your shit together!

Alright, enough bitching, I need to go to bed before firefox closes on me again. Later~

Current Mood: aggravated

Happy Mother's Day to the moms on my flist! <3

I don't know what Mom's doing when she's home, but she needs to stop it, because the ethernet cable for my computer keeps getting loose enough on her end that my internet doesn't work. -_- Which is a pain in the ass, let me tell you. And it's only when she's home, so I know it's something SHE'S doing. Guh.

My prepaid phone was fantastic when I wasn't really using it that much. I'd put $20 on it every three months just to keep it active and I'd be golden. Now, however... it's costing me a lot of freaking money. I don't even want to know how much, quite honestly. I haven't been keeping track. So... after my vacation, I'm probably going to end up getting a monthly plan. I can get 1300 minutes total (which should be plenty, I still don't talk on it THAT much) plus unlimited texting for about $50. It sounds like a lot, at least to me, but I'm positive I'll be saving money that way. Plus I don't need to switch carriers or get a new phone or anything. ^_^

Last night at work can be summed up in two words: complete hell. It was busier than fuck, we had no extra staff even though it was the freaking day before MOTHER'S DAY, people were being bitchy, the digital machines were being pissy, I had to mix chemicals when I never actually got trained on mixing chemicals (so the machine might've been contaminated this morning, who knows), I never got a break AND I got out almost an hour late... plus I got my period yesterday and was having hellish cramps, so was in a lot of pain all day and couldn't leave early. *sigh* And it's probably going to be the same thing all over again tonight minus the cramps. Shoot me?

Those bras I ordered came in. And... wow. The 'cute as I can get in my size' one is cute (<3), and two others I didn't bother trying on because I have that exact type of bra in a different color, but one? Wow. I like... have a waist. Sort of. The only bad part is that it makes my boobs go "Hey, look at ME!" And... you know, at my size, I most definitely don't need to be doing that. XD They garner enough attention without that. XDDD But. You know. WAIST. <3 And that bra will look amazing with this one top I have. It will be the closest I can get to being attractive. Like, ever. XD

I should probably start trying to pack in the next couple of days. Guh. That's probably number 3 in most hated parts about traveling, packing. Two is the actual travel part. One.. is leaving the place you traveled to.

Guh. It's ~~1:30~~ 1:45 now. I need to get something to eat and hop in the shower. I don't wanna.

Current Mood: bitchy

Meh. Passed out right in the middle of blind_go chat. -_- Needless to say, this doesn't make me happy, especially since I missed Pye coming back. Blah.

I spent way too long last night remaking certificates for work. *sigh* Long story short, basically Scott's an ass and told another store that we'd give them a copy of the Kodak Certificates I made. The make of the machine is on the certificates, and they have a different machine. I no longer have the original Photoshop file, so... I had to go and remake the entire damn thing just to change one line. GAH.

I get to go in at 1:30 today. Because zomg, Scott has to work on a Saturday, so could I come in early so he doesn't have to be there the whole day? Pssssssh. He's doing his god damn job, but whatever. I guess it's kind of obvious that I'm really irritated with Scott at the moment. XD

Also keep in mind that there's no manager from 7-10, because Mike's going to a show and is leaving- which leaves MARY as the acting supervisor during that time. Which completely and utterly pisses me off, because Mary never does any work- she just tells everyone else what to do and how to get there, and she's not even a freaking manager. I'm sure you guys know the type. Plus the ringer leaves at 9. This better not cause any issues, because I've got to shut down the lab at 9. I can't ring. She knows this. I hope to hell she doesn't decide that because she's the 'manager', she's not ringing. >_< Of course, I don't know yet, one way or another. We'll have to see how all of this pans out.

...in the meantime, I've got to be to work in 20 minutes. *sigh* See you guys later!

Current Mood: aggravated

Didn't end up going out with Stef on Tuesday, so we went yesterday- all kinds of fun. Well. Not really. We got something to eat, which was fine, and then went to Michael's because she needed thread, which was fine too because the scrapbooking stuff is on the other side of the store. If we don't see it, it doesn't exist. XD Then we went to Walmart... which was not fine. XD We did our shopping first, since I didn't want to be carrying around the boxes from the online order all around the store. I got a neck wallet for Anime North, and a USB video game controller for my computer... because I haven't been playing this one emulator because playing it with a keyboard is a pain in the ass. XD So. We asked and went downstairs, because that's where customer service was, checked out down there... to have the customer service people tell us that the site to store place is upstairs in sporting goods. O_o Which is not only upstairs but on the other side of the store. And oh by the way we had been over there. *twitch twitch* We get up there, we find the thing, but there's nobody there. It takes 5-10 minutes to get someone's attention, only to have to go to a different part of the store to another register, because they had just installed everything that day and apparently it didn't work yet. *sigh* Then he had trouble with the UPC's. Finally we got out of there, thank fucking god, but we ended up being in there far longer than we'd planned and Stef and I couldn't play with DDR. *pouts* Needless to say... I will not be doing the Site to Store thing unless necessary, at least until their remodel is done and they've got everything figured out. That whole thing sucked.

On the upside, the shirts are good (even if some of them are a bit more low cut than I'd like, and one... I need to lose a few pounds before I'll be comfortable really wearing it, I guess. It fits, but it's more snug than I'm comfortable with, you know?), and I played with DDR last night and I don't fail as badly as I thought I would. It's not great, but it's not completely horrible either. I just need to work on my back step, because I don't seem to bring my foot back far enough half the time. It's just going to take some getting used to. Oh, and the controller took a while to set up (mostly because I am a moron XD), but it works now. Yay!

*yawns* I could totally go back to sleep. Hmm. I could sleep for a half hour... play Suikoden for an hour (well, really less, because I'm still fooling around with it trying to get the speed right on this computer)... then get ready for work. Hmmmmmmm........

Need to record for ihikago tonight. And edit. Editing is what I really should be doing right now. Oh! Yeah. I just realized today that in One Thing? I pronounced Akira's name wrong throughout the entire fic. *headdesk* Oh. Wait. *looks at fic* She used Touya, not Akira. Thank god. XD I default to the wrong pronunciation on Akira- as you can tell in the fics I read last round- it's a conscious effort to say it the right way, and it had occurred to me that I was too tired the other day to remember. XD I'd been debating whether I should leave it or record the fic again, but I guess I don't have to worry about it. Yay!

What else I need to do: blind_go. I have yet to start that. Meh.

Hmph. Well, now that I've organized my bookmarks (which needed to be done, really, but still), It's almost 1pm. Well... damn. So much for the half hour of sleep and hour of play. -_-

Current Mood: tired

1. Jet- got your postcard today. <3 Unfortunately they put a big sticker right over the left side of where you'd written, but luckily it was easily removable without destroying the postcard. ^_^

2. Sort of asked for an extension on

ihikago, in a half assed way. Like, 'if you don't get my podfics on time, don't be surprised' sort of thing. Because... dude, this sore throat I've got is NOT helping. I've had worse, but still, the thought of sitting down to record is enough to make me want to cry right now. I've got to be a bit more consistent with the vitamin c and zinc, I think. This cold is kicking my ass already and it's not even doing much of anything yet. ^_^;;;;

3. I need to be writing. I still have a grand total of NOTHING for

blind_go. Not even a bunny. I... think it may be time to start freaking just a little bit. XD At the very least, I need to finish the bit that's in my head (the last resort fic), because at least then I'd have that. Plus I don't really want it in my brain anymore. XD And that will hopefully leave room in there for the blind_go fic to form. ^_^

4. Work called. They wanted me to come in early, because there's no one in the lab, again. I don't know whether Katie called in again or whether she left early, but... gah. I know she's leaving, but she can't be pulling this bullshit. Because then she fucks ME over- and that's not cool.

*sigh* Well, it's quarter of, I guess I should shut down the computer and everything so I can go to work. Besides, my computer's being pissy. XD Later all!

Current Mood: groggy

Posted the Kaga/Tsutsui genderswitch because I'm clearly insane. It's probably in desperate need of a beta, but... meh. I didn't feel like it. XD I need to catch up the public writing comms on GJ and IJ, too. I keep forgetting. There's now two drabbles that need to be posted. <_< Whoops?

I really need to write up that letter drabble. It's probably going to be a gazillion pages, because the paper's small and my handwriting is big and it's over 600 words. Um... yeah. So I've been procrastinating on it. Meh.

I also have new manga to read, so I should probably get started on that at some point. XD Volumes 5-9 of Fullmetal Alchemist and the first two volumes of Prince of Tennis.

In other news, this is probably the scariest thing I've seen in a long time. It's just... there are no words. Religious extremists have always frightened me, but this is... wow. These kids are... O_o Very scary. There were a few points where I felt sick to my stomach watching this. And if they can swing any election? Dude. I'm so moving. XD

I should probably go get dressed and stuff for work. Later! <3

Tonight... is not going to be fun. We have another storm slated for late tonight/all day tomorrow, so everyone's going to be out trying to do stuff today. Ugh. Somebody shoot me? So yeah, they're estimating for my area about half a foot of snow (on top of what we've already got), plus about a half a foot of ice. -_- I hate my life. I'm hoping not, but I may just have to call in tomorrow- we'll have to see. Man, I guess that means I have to do laundry tonight too, before everything starts. Guh.

As par for the course this time of year, I'm quickly losing my mind. Work is just... everyone wants everything like, yesterday (Not MY fault you procrastinated, you jackass!), everyone needs babysitting because no one can read fucking directions, I get simultaneously pulled into fifteen directions all night long, the machine always always always starts acting up due to the extra strain that's put on it (and it's almost 5 years old, what do you want, really?)... I hate Christmas. I really, really do. I needed this bullshit to be over like a week ago. Ad it's just going to get worse over the next ten days. But after that the work bitching will stop, I promise. XD

Alright. I have to get ready for the dreaded evil place. Here's hoping I can actually get out on time tonight. <_<

Current Mood: anxious

1. I screwed up somehow and thought that the

fifthmus fic was due later than it actually was, so I ended up having to send it in as is. First draft and everything. GOD DAMN IT. A note to my recipient, should they happen to read this: I'm so very sorry. I know it sucks. Really. I... I honestly have no excuse except that I suck really badly and I ran out of time. Please don't hurt me. I will do edits and stuff and make it not so bad later, I promise. Or write you something that doesn't suck. Okay?

2. So, basically, due to deadlines,

fifthmus and

drabble_trade are done. *sighs*

drabble_trade at least I can live with. I guess... that's as good as it gets at the moment. I should've known though. I know how crazy it gets this time of year. So why did I sign up for two challenges? Honestly. Sometimes I'm just not that intelligent. Fair warning guys, I'm not touching any of the WIP's until after Christmas. I just... can't handle it right now. My brain is on overload.

3. It's officially the 15th, so a giant happy birthday to

jetdragon! *cheers*

4. Random thought- what about the word "lesbian" is so hard for people to understand? I have a profile up on this one site, yes. It states specifically that I'm a lesbian. A few times. So why do I keep getting messages from men wanting to talk to me? ?? GO AWAY.

5. I've seen this on my flist twice now. I think it's time to just do it. XDDD

( Fanfic meme )

Yeah, okay, my brain is fried. I'm going to bed. See everyone later! <3

Current Music: Broken by Seether and Amy Lee

Hypothetical question for you drivers out there: You see a pedestrian making their way across the road a ways ahead of you (this is, of course, assuming that you're paying attention in the first place and actually SEE said pedestrian). It's a four lane road so you know it's going to take a minute for them to finish crossing, possibly more time than it will take you to get there. Do you a) Stop politely before hitting the person (or at the very least slow down now, because truth be told you're going too fast considering that there's a red light directly ahead anyway), or b) Wait until the very last second to stop, scare the shit out of the pedestrian, and then beep at them as if it's their fault you almost killed them. Common sense would say A, naturally, since there could be glitches in plan B such as "What if you don't stop in time" or worse, "What if your brakes fail completely", but... apparently for some, B is the answer anyway, because this happened to me on my way to work today. Ugh. I knew I should've just stayed home, and what happens? I nearly get killed because someone was either an asshole or not paying attention. Great. My day is going really fucking well so far: I wake up with the Charlie Horse from HELL (my leg still fucking hurts to stand on), I nearly DIE, I come into work fifteen minutes late and fucking Karen is here (the District Photo Category Specialist, basically the photo boss for our district- she's not a bad person or anything, she's just pushy as hell and just a general pain in the ass)... bloody fantastic! On the upside, I finished Mom's mother's day crap and paychecks finally came in, so as of tomorrow I'll have money (assuming that I go to the bank in the morning and cash the damn thing). Ah, well.

Current Mood: bitchy

Explain to me why Sundays suck so much… because I truly don’t understand it. Amanda was up my ass every chance she got as per usual, irritating as hell. It was crazy busy today. I changed the chem filters and then had gunk coming out on the prints that wouldn’t go away until almost 100 prints later (thank god they were all blanks I’d printed out on purpose, but still). I had to help a lady on the picture makers for an HOUR AND A HALF, and she was a bitch and gave me major attitude the entire fucking time (um, hello, you have almost 300 pictures here and several you want doubles, triple, or 5x7’s. Not to mention the CD’s and the actual print that you want a copy of. Did you think this was going to be a quick little venture?). To add insult to injury, she had me so frazzled and stressed out that I ended up sending a big order that I’d meant to delete and didn’t even realize it until after the fact. 100 waste prints later… I had a lady go on one of the digital picture makers at five of nine, so since the lab wasn’t officially closed yet I had to let her do her order. More than 45 minutes later, she FINALLY hands me the slip- she has almost 100 pictures. Which is going to take about fifteen minutes, which is when I’m supposed to be LEAVING, and I can’t even START shutting down the machine until all of the pictures are printed. And, of course, I ran out of paper, so I had to go refill that. Needless to say, I got out a half an hour late tonight (nine and a half hour shifts are always tons of fun!). And Scott’s going to kill me for all those waste prints. Fuck.

Current Mood: exhausted

Yay, I get to work nine hours every day next week! ….shoot me. Please. On the upside, that means I get ten hours and a few of those will be overtime, which will give me roughly 80 bucks extra in the check for next week. Coolness. Oh, and the bank FINALLY decided to deposit my paycheck which should’ve been done Thursday morning… but of course they took the $35 fee out first. So this whole fiasco cost me $140, and I now have all of 50 bucks in my bank account right now. Lovely. I couldn’t find my checkbook (you know, the ledger part, I have the checks) so I got a small notebook today to write all my transactions in. Because now that I’ve fucked up once I’ve got to make sure that it doesn’t happen again… which means balancing my checkbook every freaking day, because I’m anal like that.

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate seeing people that I used to go to school with? Yeah, it sucks. Especially when I’m at work. It’s like… yeah, I work at CVS, I haven’t gone to school, I live with my mother and have absolutely no life. That’s great. You know what I hate more, though? When you bump into someone that didn’t give you the time of day in high school, and now they act like you’re long lost friends or something. It’s like… cut the act, will you? We never even spoke in high school… let’s keep it that way. We didn’t like each other for a reason.

On a completely random note, my hair is black now. Whoops. It’s darker than I’d wanted it… good thing is that it’ll wash out a bit over the next few weeks, so hopefully then it’ll be alright. Besides the fact that I plan on highlighting it next week. So that should help.

Current Mood: cranky

1)I had the shock of my life when I came into work today- my boss John told me that they put in a raise for me! Considering I just had my yearly in November/December… so this would be my first ever merit raise (which CVS isn’t actually supposed to do, and John told me as much). He was like “I just want you to know that I appreciate everything you do… I know you work really hard.” -- This will give me roughly $50-$60 extra a month, which I know doesn’t sound like a lot, but being as my rent just got upped by $100, that’s going to help considerably. This will make the difference between making it and drowning every month. Unfortunately, the only thing the raise is going to do for me this month is fill in a little of the hole I dug myself from overdrawing on my damn bank account yesterday… but it’s something.

However, I have a nasty feeling that there’s an ulterior motive for this… like with Walgreens coming up across the street in a few months, they’re sort of trying to bribe people into staying. Like, “Look, we can act human for all of five seconds, and in that five seconds we’ll give you a raise!” I don’t know, a raise isn’t a bad thing… it’s just… I have this gut feeling that there are strings attached to this sucker.
2) I just remembered that my friend Dave’s birthday was today. Whoops. Then again, considering that there hasn’t been so much as an e-mail between us in the last couple of years, calling him a friend might be a bit of a stretch. I guess… you never really get used to losing friends. We used to be close (though not as close as we probably could’ve been, thanks to me holding back and never completely trusting him with the stuff that really mattered, like I didn‘t tell him that my dad left until almost six months after the fact… though he held back with me too, the only thing I don’t know is whether he did that on his own or just because that’s what I was doing)… and we just… drifted apart. Somehow I allowed that to happen. No, actually, that’s not true. I’ll admit that my drifting apart from Lynn was half my fault for not stopping it when I had the chance, but I’m not taking credit for this one. I tried with Dave. I tried to keep in touch, sent e-mails and cards and whatnot, and I would get an e-mail that was two sentences long at most, and he NEVER took the initiative to write to me when it wasn’t in reply to something. He showed absolutely no interest in continuing a friendship with me, so eventually I just… stopped trying. Stopped putting myself out there, because really, what was the point? I just wish he could’ve had the balls to tell me that he didn’t want to be friends with me anymore. I mean… okay, that would’ve really sucked and I would’ve probably hated him for it, but at least it would’ve been over. Done. No more of me wondering why he still talks to Stef but not me. No more of me wondering “Is he really that busy that he can’t spend five minutes and write a fair sized e-mail, or is he blowing me off?” You know? I just hate being strung along… and I hate this fucking feeling that I still have even now, this… loss. The feeling when you lose somebody (no matter the means- a fight, death, moving, etc.) like some part of you is missing because they took that piece with them. I guess maybe that’s the person you were when you were with them- the part of you that’s missing, I mean. They’re gone, so that part of your personality is gone too.

Okay, I’m rambling now and I probably make absolutely NO sense whatsoever, and I need to go do laundry and stuff. So I think I’ll shut up now.

Current Mood: thankful
Current Music: Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day

Sonofabitch. I really need to start balancing my checkbook… I’ve never had a problem with it before, so I was never all that worried about it. Well… I apparently miscalculated the amount of money in my account by about $20. Which normally wouldn’t have been a big deal except money’s been REALLY tight lately and I spent some 53 odd cents more than what I actually had. Whoops. So of course there’s a fee tacked on to that, so I’m about 35 bucks in the hole at the present time. Because I suck. Then again, this is the first time that I’ve overdrawn ever… and we’re all allowed to fuck up once. This should be my wake up call- pay more attention to the money you’re spending, jackass!

Oh, yeah, and I have to renew my LJ subscription by the 8th. And the underwire snapped in one of my (two) decent bras the other day (decent, of course, meaning that they’re not so run down that they have zero support), which is just fucking wonderful. And my shoe situation gets more desperate by the day, as my work shoes are quite literally falling apart. The sole is about halfway separated from the rest of the shoe now. In other words, more money I have to spend… joy oh joy. I’d feel a little bit better about this if I had my income tax money coming soon, but as I have yet to find a place that even has the necessary forms so I can even DO them… ugh.

On the upside, when I was out spending money I didn’t have I got Brokeback Mountain on DVD, which I didn’t even know was coming out, and the Chronicles of Narnia (love that movie). So I finally got to see Brokeback… it wasn’t life changing like I’d heard it was, but it WAS really good. Thoroughly depressing. Oh, and I finally got around to picking up The DaVinci Code, because I keep hearing it’s amazing and I’ve been meaning to read it for the longest time. Yay.

I almost kinda hope that Paul isn’t working today, because I’m still pissed off at him for calling in on Sunday (when I know that chances are really good that the only reason he called in was because he was fucking hung over) and putting me in a level of hell somewhere near the Earth’s core. Yeah, it was that bad. Let’s just say I closed up shop early and was out of there by quarter after eight because I just couldn’t take it anymore. I was seriously going to hurt someone… badly.

Current Mood: pissed off

The good news is... I now have ink in my printer and Harry Potter. The bad news is... I ended up spending about $110 to do this, and made two trips to Wal-mart and one trip to Target. Ugh. Basically... Stef and I went to Wal-mart to get the movie. I got the ink and two copies of Harry (one for me, one for Kelly's birthday). Spent about 75 bucks. Stef and I went back to my house to watch it... and were majorly pissed to discover that there were no special features. Turns out there are two versions of the damn thing, and we wanted the special edition one that Wal-mart didn't have, because Wal-mart is evil. Well... I'd already opened one, so I couldn't take that one back, but there was still the other. So after watching the movie we went off to Wal-mart for the return (15 bucks back in pocket). Then hopped over to Target because they DID have the good ones, and then spent 50 more bucks for the two DVD's (cuz Kelly would kill me if I gave her the one with no features on it)... urgh. It was just... frustrating. And I have no money until Thursday, which is always wonderful.

Mom and I finally had that "talk" she's been threatening. Of course, she started with her typical "You can't live anywhere for what you give me a month". Yeah, I know. That's why I still live here, remember? Because I can't afford my own damn apartment. Basically, I'm supposed to give her an extra $100 a month. Yeah. You realize I'm giving her almost half of my paycheck now? And she wonders why I can't move out... because after she gets "her" money, and after I buy groceries for fucking three people and a cat (and almost no help from her, thankyouverymuch), I'm pretty much done. And then to add insult to injury, she started on me about getting wireless internet again (she won't let me attach my computer to the modem unless we set it up for the wireless that SHE wants- but I have to pay for all the equipment and shit, which is just screwed up), and when I told her that it's too expensive, she was like "No, it's only about $100." And this is a day after you just squeezed an extra $100 a month out of me that I don't really have to begin with... how dare you! I don't see YOU shelling out the cash to get it done- because it's a lot of fucking money, and you know it, you just like your little fantasy that I have all this money and I DON'T. It's a lot to be just fucking throwing away... BITCH.

(although, on an afterthought... it might be worth it, just to shut her the fuck up... not to mention it would mean that she couldn't bitch about me being on her computer.)

Alright, enough whining... Suikoden IV is calling my name (I'm almost done, yay!)... later!

(Best line of the day: "Holy orgasm, Batman!" ~Stef)

Current Mood: feel better, but still sick

People just SUCKED today. All my co-workers seemed to be in a pissy mood most of the night, and customers were just... guh. I hate people who ask a question and then don't even listen to the answer because it takes up too much fucking brain power. It's like... wherever you got that stunning intellect from, go back and ask for a refund, will ya? *Smack* It was like the Invasion of the Stupid People day. I wonder if someone sent out a signal to all people with IQ's lower than 80 saying "You must go out and shop and drive the poor people working there crazy!"... Grr. Sorry, just had to rant about that.

Finally got around to finishing the Prisoner of Azkaban game (it was really easy, I was just so sick of it from watching Erin play it constantly), and in Kingdom Hearts I've made it from Atlantica to Hollow Bastion in the last few days, including the Hercules cup (it so should've been the Cloud cup- he was WAY harder than Hercules). So as long as it keeps going this well, I should finish the game in plenty of time for when the second installment comes out next month (wheee!). Yayness.

On a completely random note, Kelly and I saw a preview for ER tonight, and they said something about "the return of Dr. Carter"- and Kelly, quite literally, screamed. Not like "Yay" or "Yes" really loud, an actual scream, as if someone had scared her. I've never seen anyone do that before. Funny stuff.

And the damn computer doesn't want to cooperate with me at all today, not to mention that Kingdom Hearts is calling my name (I'll be at Maleficent in about five minutes... wish me luck!), so until next time!

Current Music: In the Sun by Joseph Arthur

I really fucking hate people sometimes. It was busy at work, and I said that I could take the next person. So I’m waiting, and this lady is just completely ignoring me. Okay… maybe she didn’t hear me. Whatever. But then the guy behind her taps her on the shoulder and points to me, obviously telling her I was open. This woman, who I’ve never seen before in my entire life (that I remember), fucking GLARED at me and then turned away. For no apparent reason. I waited for a few seconds, thinking maybe it was just my imagination, but no. She still refused to even look at me. Whatever. I came so close to going up to her and being like, “What the fuck is your problem, asshole?” Well… okay, I never would’ve done that, but I wanted to. I’m not sure if maybe I didn’t completely kiss her wrinkled old ass one time when she was in and therefore decided that she hated me… or maybe the fact that I’m pretty obviously gay offended her… whatever. So then later, I’m trying to shut down the lab and whatnot, which really takes my full attention and requires me to be in the backroom for probably about 20-30 minutes total. Amanda decides that she wants to do reshops (note that SHE decided, she wasn’t told to do them), so then she kept bugging me to stay in front to watch the register so she can fuck around with reshopping stuff. It’s like… listen, kid. You are getting paid to ring people out. I am getting paid to shut down the machine correctly and hopefully on time. If you can't do your job, then I can't do mine, and I'm not going to waste MY time doing YOUR job for you just because you can't be bothered. Jesus!

Okay, I feel better now.
