☁ Update: Everything's fine, never even lost power, though the lights at work blinked ominously all night. Could've been a whole lot worse. Looks like the power lines might not hold. LOTS of flooding- seriously, there are RIDICULOUS pictures on facebook right now. Where I am seems relatively alright (I'm right between major flooded areas, I think), considering, though we'll be able to see the damage better tomorrow. Also I do know someone who lost everything, which totally blows, though at least she, her partner, and their animals are fine. That's the important thing.

☁ Also, the general stupidity of people never ceases to amaze me. They didn't want ANYBODY going out unless it was an emergency, because of mass flooding, yeah? (Of course, "work" is an emergency, according to the company. Pffft.) ALL DAY I rang out people for candy. No lie. Candy, toys, random stupid shit. I'm like... REALLY? If I didn't have to be out, I would've been at home with a book. If it was a prescription that you ZOMG HAD TO HAVE TODAY, then yeah, I can see that, but otherwise? Lack of Snickers doesn't really constitute as an emergency. What the fuck. GO HOME. And then they would complain about how all these roads were closed. *headdesk* Gee, maybe that's a hint that you should GO THE FUCK HOME? We're kinda in a hurricane right now. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?

☁ I got called old today. ;~; A (note: middle aged, aka old enough to know better) guy said to me, "You've been here a long time. You're a *insert my company name* senior." *wail* I'm 27 years old, you bastard! Though Henry, the other guy that was working tonight, at least waited until the guy left before he started laughing. I think we both went *JAW DROP* at the time when the guy said it. XDDD He's lucky I was in too much shock to say anything in the moment, because I might've hit him or started crying or something equally dramatic. It's like, dude, I know that's not what you MEANT, but that's what it SOUNDED like. Think about what you're saying before you call a 20-something a senior citizen, alright? >_< It's bad enough that society tells you that once a woman hits 30, her life is OVER (that goes double if you're gay). No need to add to that. Kthnxbye.

☁ My mother still doesn't understand the concept that if we are both friends with a person on Facebook, I see said person's feeds just like she does. Like she will read to me all this shit my aunt puts up, word for word, and I'm like... I know. I saw it already. I really didn't need to hear it twice with an extra dose of you making it sound like I don't know anything. It drives me crazy. CUT IT OUT.

☁ Aaaaaaaand there was a house centipede in the tub when I took a shower this afternoon. :(

☁ LJ: You suck. Just saying. FB seems to be having issues as well. The latter I don't care so much about, but LJ being down for two days is a giant pain in the ass. Grrr.

☁ My hands have been a bit dry the last week or so, which isn't normal for me. I think it's the heat, which finally broke, but it's been SO terribly hot here- pushing 100 (that's 37.8 for you celcius using folks). I know that's not that much for this time of year in some places, but in upstate NY, that's INSANELY HOT. The heat's supposed to come back later this week though, yaaaaaay. -_- At any rate, I grabbed a little tube of cocoa butter, so hopefully that will help. And hopefully I can ignore the fact that the smell of the stuff reminds me of a bad summer job I had right after high school. Whoops.

☁ I seem to have lost my keys. I have my spare set, so it's not like I'm locked out of anything, but it's still not good. When I came home from work yesterday I realized I didn't have them, but I can't find them at work, either. I hope I didn't drop them somewhere, but that's looking more and more likely. UGH. >_<

☁ For anybody that didn't hear, Borders is closing ALL of their stores now. I can't say that it's a surprise at this point, but it DOES suck. I mean... that's half the reason to go to the mall by me- and it's the only bookstore there. So much for my entertainment while Kelly spends ages in Victoria Secret. Boo. On that note, though, I should probably try to get over there tomorrow (*cough* later today *cough*) to see what they have left as far as clearance stuff... may be able to score some deals. If not, well, at least I tried. Might check out jewelry because I'm CONSTANTLY losing earrings or having them fall apart on me. There's also a new store that had some really cool looking dreamcatchers. The only potential problem there is. Um. Reaching them. Because I'm a midget. <_< And I hate hate HATE asking for help for things like that. Meh. We'll see.

☁ Had a song ping me, so I'm writing a little bit again. It sucks, but it's something. Also I finished making up the rest of the 101 in 1001 list that starts on the 30th. Hopefully this time I'll do more of the list. ^_^;;;

( Weight related, cut for those not interested. XD )

As of June 24, 2011, New York State has officially passed same sex marriage. So effective at the end of next month, gay marriage will be legal in my home state. That's just... incredible to me. We took such a blow when California struck it down. I know a lot of us thought that if California of all places didn't legalize it, then we were all screwed. And yet... here we are. Sadly I had to work and didn't get to go down to Albany to see the whole thing happen, but eh. It's enough that it happened. As a gay person, this means so much to me that I can't even describe it. There are no words. Just love.

( Cut because I ramble forever~ )

Yep, still cleaning like a crazy person. I've barely been on the lappy at all. Hopefully by this time next week, we should be back to normal and I'll actually be able to catch up with everyone. I feel like I'm missing out. D:

( Basically, I'm so exhausted and stressed out it's not even funny. )

☁ In other news, Pride was fun. Well. Certain parts were fun. Saturday morning, the 5k, was not so much- it was torrential downpouring. Ugh. Needless to say, by the time I got there, I was totally soaked. Mary and I screwed up by accident and only ended up walking half of the 5k. We got confused. ^_^;;; Which ended up okay, because again, I was wet and unhappy and my left foot hurt like hell from where one of my toes kept rubbing up against the wet socks and shoes. Yeah. The day got better, though, as did the weekend. We missed the parade because Mary takes FOREVER getting ready, but the festival was fun. And we drank SO MUCH the whole weekend, I swear. It was fun, but guh. Won't be doing that a lot, let me tell you. For a lot of reasons. I do hope we start hanging out more, though, because it's kind of ridiculous that we haven't. Apparently it's our own hangups that caused that. She thought that I would think she was way too crazy, and I thought that she would think I was too boring. ^_^;;;

☁ The drinking, though, seriously... I'm glad I almost never do that. I gained FOUR POUNDS over the weekend, no lie. I just about cried on Monday when I saw that. It's coming back down though, not through any effort on my part. Cleaning burns calories. Also, stress does one of two things to me, food-wise. It either makes me eat everything or I don't want to eat anything. This time I seem to be more on the latter end- I just realized that all I've had to eat today is a lean pocket and a few pieces of bread. Whoops. I guess I just feel like I don't have time to eat on top of that, so that doesn't help. It's better when I work- then I'll eat a minimum of twice in the day. All the more reason to be glad for next week when this whole mess is over and everything goes back to normal.

☁ Also, someone from a school I went to for about three months friended me on Facebook. I think I vaguely remember her, but man. Weird.

That being said, my laundry is now done and I should probably make some attempt at sleeping. That hasn't been going terribly well either. I may or may not post again before the inspection. Either way, I'm sure I'll see you guys at some point next week.
