I have a new blog at blogger. this will probablybe my primary blog. I will post important things in all of my 800 blogs, but the boring day-to-day stuff will probably be there, mostly.
I have all of my
Christmas presents done except for the greg graffin plushy. he still
needs a face and some shoes. other than that, though, he is good to go.
I also need to buy a gift for my mum, but I am doing that tomorrow.
hitting the mall the friday evening before Christmas - brilliant, I
know.
that and working is pretty much all I've been doing.
well, that and finishing up my last classes for the block. the last
ones were tonight, which is awesome. I don't have to go back until
january 23rd. that, like, over a month! yay!
me, chris,
steve, and chris' parents went to see gwar on sunday night. my
impressions? ...wow. that's the best way I can think of to describe it.
I was totally unprepared. totally. it was really awesome, though, and I
would definitely go again. I think it is something everyone should do
once in their life. I... wow. yeah. you can see some really poor
pictures I took with my phone here at my yahoo photos site.
work today was extra-super boring. there was hardly anything to do to
begin with, and both my sister and I were working. we spent a good part
of the day playing pictionary. yeah, we were that busy. I expect much
of the same tomorrow. we will probably have our yearly Christmas party,
which usually consists of pizza and coke. delicious. after that, I
wanna go to target to find something to wear on Christmas eve. very
smart, I know, to go looking for this now. stores never have much in my
size to begin with. I dunno why, though, considering I doubt many
people can wear 0s comfortably. ah well.
I'm so hungry, but I dunno what to eat. it is a problem.
on wednesday we finally went to california bar and grill, even though
we swore we'd never go there after the incident two years back (they
wouldn't let us in because mike wouldn't turn 21 for a week and we
didn't have his parent or guardian with us. bah.). it was
extra super crazy full - we had to wait in line even though we had
reservations. the wings were pretty decent, I guess, but it was
way too loud and crowded in there. dunno if we will go back or
not. on the way home from steve's house that night, bobby and I
totally saw a UFO. there was this line of three white lights in
the sky, which I brought to bobby's attention. "that's totally a
UFO," I said. "really?" he replied. "it looks like a plane
to me." but it wasn't a plane. it wasn't moving. we
drove right under it, and it wasn't even very high up. and it
wasn't making any noise, so it wasn't a helicopter. it was pretty
scary. I locked my bedroom windows when I got home, as though
that would keep the aliens out.
on saturday, while we were
playing d&d (I'm so cool) , steve's brother came dashing in asking
us if we heard the screaming outside. of course we all ran out
into the cold night air to hear the most unearthly screams you can
imagine. I actually cried, for serious, I was that scared.
and I don't get scared (or cry) easily. steve thought that it was
turkeys, maybe, and I thought it might be a peacock, so we didn't call
the police or anything. before you ask, we have seen peacocks
running around on the roads out that way, so it is a perfectly
reasonable explanation.
yesterday I got my first ever holiday
bonus from work. I got $10 instead of a turkey, since I have no
need for a turkey. I am so unbelievably touched by this
gesture. I wonder if I will get a Christmas bonus... or
maybe even a raise...
today is the day chris is supposed to die,
according to a tarot card reading he did on himself during our senior
year of high school. I am obviously very concerned about
this. he called me from work to let me know that he was still
alive, which I appreciated. he'd better stay that way
(alive), or I will chase him into the great beyond and double kill him.
tomorrow
is the day before thanksgiving. I can't believe it is that time
of the year again. I had set a goal for myself that I would have
the patterns made for my assorted hand-made Christmas presents by
saturday, but I somehow don't see that happening. it is okay,
though, I can buy the fabric without patterns. everything will be
fine. we (my parents, sister, and I) usually go on a ride through
the city on thanksgiving eve, so my dad can point out things that he
used to do on thanksgiving eve when he was a kid. it seems we are
not doing that this year. I have mixed feelings about this.
I am glad because I kinda wanted to go to wings, but I am sad because
it is something that we have always done. it's like the end of an
era. we keep getting older and keep moving on with our
lives. this time of year always seems to make this more evident,
somehow. ::sigh:: and our day after thanksgiving traditions
are not going to be the same, either, as my dad has to work and will
not be joining us. it makes me want to cry, for serious.
just got back from dinner at the super king buffet (a chinese
place). holy craps am I full. going out to dinner is rare
in my house; we went because my sister gets her tonsils out on
wednesday. since she won't be able to eat normally until
thanksgiving, it seemed only fair that she get to eat like a crazy
person until the operation. it was very delicious, even if they
didn't have an peanut butter chicken...
on a vaguely related
note, I think I am going to go back to wearing oversized clothes like I
did for most of my teen years. at chinese, some guy walking past
me looked me up and down and said "day-um!" just this saturday, a
creepy interesting guy at the library made comments at me to
the effect of "look at this sexy little thing. I would like to
get some of that..." and so forth and so on. I would like
it very much if they could keep these thoughts to themselves. or
at least say them to me rather than at me. at least then I could rebuke them.
I
accidentally said to my sister "this will be the last time you eat
until you die." I meant get surgery, but it came out wrong.
so now I am worried that I have cursed her. if she dies, I will
never forgive myself. so we made a pact that if she dies, I will
kill myself. it only seems fair.
I got a new winter coat
on saturday. it is sort of like my old coat except that it is
black instead of gray and it is made for a girl, not a man. I
think I might be allergic to it, though, because it makes me all itchy
and red around the neck where it touches me. oh well, I like the
way it looks.
you should check out this link: MyHeritage face recognition.
kylie showed it to me, and it is really neat. it scans your face
to see which celebrities you look like. the one I got the most
was scarlett johansson. I dunno, I can kinda sorta see it, maybe?
I'm gonna go work on my fantasy world map now, because I think I have run out of things to talk about.
got some homework back from that
guy thursday night and they were all full ten pointers. I guess I will
continue doing them. I tell you, if I had a dollar for every tattooed
roll of back-fat I see during my classes, I would never have to work
again. ick.
I figured out how much money I need to make per
year in order to move out on my own. the number is about $19,000, give
or take a thousand. not too bad. much lower than I expected. this is
very exciting news, as I am very eager to be out on my own. I don't
have anything against my house, but I would just really like to get on
with things, know what I mean? I really have no desire to live alone,
but if that's what I have to do - so be it. that's even figuring in a
new car, so I think it sounds pretty good. I'd really like to be at
$25,000, I don't think that's unrealistic. but then again, what do I
know about pay? I've made $4215 this year so far. how depressing.
well, at least I'll get all my income tax money back.
saw borat yesterday. very funny. very offensive. that guy is crazy. I just can't
understand doing something like that. I live in fear every day that I
might get in trouble for doing something. he goes out of his way to do
things you could get in trouble for. oi. but it was well worth having
to be seen in public in my work pants. they're just so... manly. I
wore my long coat so no-one would notice (hopefully). I'm hoping to go
to target and look for a new winter coat. I've been wearing
the one I have for... eight years? and I found it in the attic. so
who knows how long it was worn before that. I think it was my
uncle's. yeah, more manly clothes.
edit - this is my new fall layout. it is very simple, just the
way I like it. I'm thinking that I will continue changing my
layout depending upon season, holiday, etc. also, here is my
latest devART submission:
