Experimenting with the app right now. Seems like it could be useful. But I'm not seeing all of the functionality that I'm used to. Hmmmmmm.

A 2013 Post
Umm.. I think I need to write a new post, just so everytime I happen to bother to look at this page I don't have to keep seeing my LAST post.
LOL So much has happened since then! I live in NY now! I have a full time job! I'm engaged!
I need to find more time to write again!

I HAVE LITERALLY ONLY TAKEN ONE SHOWER IN THERE SINCE YOU TOLD ME TO START FUCKING CLEANING IT AFTER I TAKE A SHOWER BECAUSE THE CLEANING LADY IS HAVING FUCKING PROBLEMS CLEANING THE TUB. IT'S HER FUCKING JOB. THAT'S WHY YOU FUCKING PAY HER. TO CLEAN. THE TUB IS OLD. IT HAS STAINS ON IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT FUCKING LADY IS TRYING TO CLEAN, BUT YOU CAN'T FUCKING TELL ME THAT IT'S SOAP SCUM AND THAT IT'S ALL MY FAULT. I FUCKING RINSED THE SHOWER DOWN AFTER MY FUCKING SHOWER. WHAT MORE DO YOU FUCKING WANT? THIS IS FUCKING RIDICULOUS. I SWEAR TO GOD, I'M GOING TO JOIN A GYM JUST SO I CAN USE THEIR FUCKING SHOWER IN PEACE. DO YOU SCRUB DOWN THE TUB AFTER EVERY FUCKING TIME YOU USE IT? I HIGHLY DOUBT IT. AND WHO DO YOU PLAN ON BLAMING AFTER I STOP USING YOUR SHOWER ENTIRELY?! YOU ARE SUCH A FUCKING BITCH. WHAT DO YOU DO?! JUST SIT AROUND ALL DAY THINKING OF WAYS TO BE VINDICTIVE AND PETTY?!!?!?
OH?! AND I NEVER DO ANYTHING YOU ASK ME TO?! WHAT A LOAD OF SHIT. YOU ARE SUCH A FUCKING LIAR. I CAN'T FUCKING STAND YOU AND I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT UNTIL I MOVE OUT OF THIS HOUSE AND AWAY FROM YOU.

Fossil Armada
URRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I freakin' hate the managers at Fossil Armada. They either treat me like I'm 5 or they treat me like I should automatically know EVERY SINGLE THING PERFECTLY like I'm some seasoned veteran. I've only been working here since February!!!!!! I DON'T know everything yet. And it really pisses me off when you coach me on something that I "did wrong" when I didn't know that I was doing it wrong because you never fully explained what it was that I was supposed to be doing in the first place.
Also, I KNOW WHAT A FUCKING T-PIN IS. I DON'T NEED A FUCKING LESSON ON WHY IT'S CALLED A T-PIN. I ASKED FOR A PIN BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I NEEDED. IF I'D KNOWN BEFOREHAND THAT YOU USED T-PINS, MAYBE I WOULD HAVE ASKED FOR ONE AS SUCH. BUT PROBABLY NOT-- BECAUSE, REALLY? WHO GIVES A FUCK? I DIDN'T NEED A T-PIN. I JUST NEEDED A FUCKING PIN AND ANY KIND OF PIN WOULD HAVE WORKED. SO I REALLY DON'T NEED YOU GIVING ME A FUCKING SEWING LESSON.
Seriously? I AM NOT 5. I'm also pretty sure I'm older than you and worked in retail a hell of a lot longer than you. I know what needs to be done, so you can stop TELLING me what to do all the time. Get off your fucking power trip. Just because you're technically in charge of me does not make you smarter or more intelligent than me. Have you ever thought about ASKING me (politely) to do something?! Maybe you'd get better results that way!
Also, I really don't understand why Fossil Armada is run the way it is... How the fuck does anything get done? And does it really make sense to have a bazillion part time employees?! Of course, on second thought... maybe it does-- after all, after one three hour shift at Fossil Armada I kinda want to kill myself-- so it makes perfect sense to have someone else come in at that point and take over. But really? You're not making me care about whether or not this store succeeds or fails. I have no vested interest in what happens, and I could care less if we make our credit goal or customer service goal. You treat me like shit, so I treat you like shit.

B
I think I might like this boy :) It's kinda hard to tell right now, because I've only actually met him once; but we've been sending messages back and forth on Facebook ever since, and so far so good! But yeah.. another face to face is in order... So that's why I'm planning on visiting him next weekend!

1 March 2011
Some random musings of the day:
1. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new wireless mouse! I never really felt the need to have one with my last laptop, but this new one-- the left and right click buttons are really hard to press down and it's just annoying. Plus my right index finger is getting worn out from all the sliding around on the touch pad!! (Although, I blame FrontierVille for that one... Stupid 100,000 Clicky Badge... ) Anyway, SUPER HAPPY to have a new mouse-- plus it's super cute! It has a pretty turquoise track ball! Love it!
2. I love looking at the stars-- especially when it's really quiet outside; It's like you can hear the earth move. I just love looking out at the night sky into its big open spaciousness and just basking in the awe inspiring wonderousness of the world.
3. I know what I DON'T want to do.... the problem is.. I don't know what I DO want to do.
4. For whatever reason, sometimes I end up wearing my glasses for a long period of time... But eventually, I get sick of them and I go back to my contacts. But then, when I look at my face in the mirror, I think I look weird without my glasses.

FrontierVille Hate 25
Ohhh FrontierVille.... let me count the ways... of how much I HATE YOU!!! URGH!
1. Missions that require me to chop down MY trees. This irritates me for a number of reasons.
a) All of my trees have been CAREFULLY placed on my land by ME. I have placed them in a way that makes my land look visually pleasing to ME. So when you force me to chop them down, making my land look shitty, I become very angry. This would not be as much of an issue if it weren't for the fact that:
b) Replacing trees IS A PAIN IN THE ASS. Ideally, I try to replace my trees in the exact location of the old one. However, this is an issue as you can't place a new tree until you remove the stump of the old one-- and once you remove the stump, you no longer know exactly where the tree was. Greeeeaaaat. Ugh... and even once you do get the tree placed:
c) Trees take fucking FOREVER to grow back. You remember that mission you gave me last month where I had to chop at my trees 200 times?? Yeah, the new trees I bought to replace them? STILL HAVEN'T FULLY GROWN ALL THE WAY. LAND STILL LOOKS SHITTY. ME STILL PISSED OFF.
d) Why can't I be chopping away at my neighbor's trees?!!? I've got plenty of friends that don't even play the game, so they're not going to mind if I chop down some of their trees-- and if they do mind?! Well, they don't have to accept my help! So STOP MAKING ME CHOP DOWN MY TREES!!!!!
2. Missions that require me to scare bears--ergo, cut down my trees. (See above).
3. Missions that require me to sell an unreasonable amount of Adult [insert farm animal of your choice]. A good example? 80 Adult Freakin' Cows. Missions like these irritate me for soooooo many reasons.. But since explaining those reasons would be a whole other blog unto itself, I'm just going to stick to my core reason for hating these missions: I can buy all 80 of my cows and start feeding them-- but I never have any idea of when the fuck they'll be Adult Cows!!! I mean, at least if I have to harvest 300 wheat, I know I can be done in 3 days if I plant 100 wheat everyday or I can plant 300 wheat today and be done tomorrow!! But the cows?!!? Unless I already have 80 Adult Cows on my farm, (which I never do!), I'm clueless!! I mean, I have the vague notion that for each life cycle of the cow it has to be fed 3-4 times and each animal has 3 life cycles before it turns into an adult but that's just a lot of paying attention to stuff that I don't have the patience for. STOP WITH THE UNREASONABLENESS!!!
4. I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE CLICKING ON BONUS ITEMS!!!!! And normally, I DON'T click on bonus items-- because they be ALWAYS GITTIN' IN MY WAY! It's annoying!! But of course-- there's a badge for clicking on 100,000 bonus items, so of course I HAVE TO HAVE IT! Which means clicking on 100,000 bonus items and I just want to get the badge as soon as possible so I can go back to not clicking on bonus items again but it's exhausting and time consuming and it's taking forever and I don't like it :(
5. When I try to feed my animals (most of whom hang out near the barn because that was a logical place to put them) and BESS GETS IN THE WAY! Move your fucking ass! I didn't ask you to be standing there SO GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY, BITCH!
Note: Even though Hank and Fanny have also gotten in my way before, I hold them blameless. Hank and Fanny have only ever gotten in my way because I put something in their way (like 80 freakin' growing cows) because I had nowhere else to put it. But Bess? Bess wanted to live in my barn and she is an unwanted house(barn?)guest.
6. STOP ADDING ALL THESE PEOPLE TO MY LAND!! First Hank, then Bess, then Fanny, and now I've got a freakin' Doctor?! Just because most of them aren't in my way doesn't mean I want them loitering about the place!! Jacques doesn't hang out outside the Trading Post- so why do these people hang out outside of their respective buildings?!?! GO AWAY!
7. In the vein of bonus items and Bess... I also find quite frequently that my Leah avatar and husband and kids ARE ALWAYS UP IN MY BUSINESS! I'm soooo tired of hearing "Howdy!" and "Yes, Mom." WHEN I WASN'T EVEN TRYING TO FUCKING CLICK ON YOU! WHY CAN'T THIS GAME BE SMARTER?!
8. Trying to make me ask my NON-Frontierville playing friends for parts to finish my Kissing Tree. SCREW YOU FRONTIERVILLE! I didn't like having to use my hard-earned horseshoes to complete my tree, but I'd rather do that than pester friends who I know want NOTHING to do with Frontierville!!! If you want more people playing Frontierville then go and do the work yourself!!!
9. Ugh! Seriously?!? If you're going to add five different buildings in the span of a month then why couldn't you make the land expanding mission easier?!!?! I HAVE NOWHERE TO PUT ALL THESE BUILDINGS!! And it's not like I can get rid of any of the old ones!! I never know when I'm going to need them!
9 1/2. YOU WANT ME TO WHAT?! Frontierville wants me to "clear some space" on my land so I can grow some fucking wildflowers. WHAT fucking space!??! I'm still trying to buy some more land, you've added FIVE new buildings, I've got nowhere to go, douchebag!
10. Okay, maybe I exaggerated a bit.. I moved some trees around, squished in some stuff... I made the room.... SO WHERE ARE MY FUCKING WILDFLOWERS?!!?!?!?! Ugh, you've got to be kidding me... When I want thorns, rocks, and cacti all I get are grass and wildflowers... but now that I ACTUALLY want wildflowers all I get are thorns, rocks, and cacti! WTF!?
11. BOOSTS ARE FUCKING USELESS. And sooo not worth it... One boost should be good for AT LEAST 10 items!!! I mean, I really think they should be worth even more than that, but at a minumum I think 10 is a decent number-- Because, c'mon!? Seriously?! What good does it do me to only boost one animal or one crop!?!?? THAT'S FUCKING RIDICULOUS AND NOT AT ALL HELPFUL!!!!
12. The Adult Geese know and it makes me feel bad.
13. Not being able to post all of my item requests all at one time: "Sorry Pardner! We can't let you hog the mail..." What kind of bullshit is that!??! You want me to clog my wall and post every single time I level up, turn in a collection, run out of energy, clobber a varmit, visit my friends, get a new badge, and finish a mission, but I can't request 3 simple items that I actually need?!!?!?
14. When a mission requires me to purchase an item from the marketplace that I already own.
15. I get that I can only collect the bonus from my buildings once a day, but does is literally have to be 24 HOURS?! That's so irritating! I mean, I try to play around the same time every day, but life happens, and sometimes it's later than usual, and then you're just screwed for the next time you try to play earlier. It sucks.
16. Pop-up messages that slide over from the left and interrupt everything that I was doing--a little something that I like to call LEFTOVERS. Yeah, that's right! 'Cause nobody fucking likes leftovers! THEY SUCK! You wanna know what's most irritating about leftovers??!!? They ALWAYS show up at the least appropriate time!!!!
Take this leftover:
"Don't just sit there! How 'bout sending some gifts to yer friends?" Yeah... that one shows up AFTER I ALREADY SENT MY FRIENDS GIFTS. And it's not like Frontierville lets me send my friends MORE gifts just because this leftover showed up!
Or this one!
"Didja know you can hire neighbors to do extra work around the ole homestead? I'll just bet [FRIEND'S NAME] is looking for work!" Nooooo, really??!! I can hire neighbors?!?! Oh, wait, that's right.. I JUST DID YOU DUMBFUCK. And you won't let me hire anymore until tomorrow.
And don't forget:
"[FRIEND'S NAME]'s homestead needs help!" You know what? I'll cut you some slack on this one... MAYBE I DIDN'T VISIT THAT EXACT FRIEND. But after I just gone around and visited a bunch of friends--- GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY FACE!
But what really pisses me off is when I've JUST gone to visit a friend, I haven't even DONE anything yet-- and that exact same leftover shows up!!! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!? You want me to stop visiting this friend so I can go visit that friend?! What?! Is something wrong with friend A?! We don't like friend A!? Gotta go visit friend B?! What'd they bribe you or something!?!?
17. When this happens: I'm trying to click on something and at the exact same second a leftover slides into my view and it just so happens that my click was perfectly aligned with the accept button. URAAAAAAGH!!! I FUCKING HATE LEFTOVERS!!!
18. After I've helped a friend the maximum 5 times and I'm trying to collect my bonus items and a stupid leftever comes up so I can send my friend some useless gift they don't really need. I'm sorry, but the majority of my friends are past the point of needing bricks and nails, so no. I will not be sharing. Sorry I'm not a better person.
19. When I'm trying to count all the cows/wheat/whatever on my farm to make sure I bought enough and a FUCKING LEFTOVER pops up and ruins my count. Thanks a lot whoreslut! Now I have to fucking start all over again-- because thanks to you I had to move hand so that I could move my mouse to get you off of my fucking screen and now I've fucking lost my place.
20. When I'm recounting all the cows/wheat/whatever and ANOTHER FUCKING LEFTOVER pops up. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE MOTHERFUCKING KIDDING ME. I FUCKING HATE THIS GAME SOMETIMES.
21. When I'm trying to study my land because I'm trying to move something and a LEFTOVER shows up. STOP INTERRUPTING ME BITCHES!!
22. When I run out of energy and I get this: "You're plum out of energy, pardner! But if you visit a neighbor you'll get an energy bonus!" OR this: Ask Friends For Energy-- "Would you like to ask your friends to send you a free snack?" NO! I WOULD NOT LIKE TO ASK MY FRIENDS FOR A FREE SNACK!! THOSE PICKNET BASKETS ARE A WASTE OF MY FUCKING TIME! WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS GO TO MY INVENTORY AND USE ONE OF THE MEALS I HAVE STORED IN THERE!!! BUT IS THAT WHERE YOU TAKE ME?!!? NO!!! YOU TAKE ME TO A CONDENSED MARKETPLACE AND OFFER ME THIS MESSAGE: "While you're waitin for your picnic basket to show up, why not grab a meal? A nice tasty meal would pep you back up!" CANCEL X SKIP GET ME OUTTA HERE!
23. This message: "Loadin' Homestead I'll have you there in a jiffy." You lie.
24. This message: "HURRY! HURRY! HURRY!" Buy Horseshoes now at a discounted price blahh blah blah before the world ends! Oh, it doesn't say that? Are you sure?
25. Aaaaaaand this message: "Blasted internet just went all quiet on me! Let's try us a bit of a refresh." Bastards. They ALWAYS screw me over when this happens. ALWAYS.
Despite all this, I'm addicted to FrontierVille and play ALL THE FREAKIN' TIME-- as witnessed by my sprawling homestead.. I don't get it.

YOU TAKE ME TO A CONDENSED MARKETPLACE AND OFFER ME THIS MESSAGE: "While you're waitin for your picnic basket to show up, why not grab a meal? A nice tasty meal would pep you back up!" CANCEL X SKIP GET ME OUTTA HERE!
23. This message: "Loadin' Homestead I'll have you there in a jiffy." You lie.
24. This message: "HURRY! HURRY! HURRY!" Buy Horseshoes now at a discounted price blahh blah blah before the world ends! Oh, it doesn't say that? Are you sure?
25. Aaaaaaand this message: "Blasted internet just went all quiet on me! Let's try us a bit of a refresh." Bastards. They ALWAYS screw me over when this happens. ALWAYS.
Despite all this, I'm addicted to FrontierVille and play ALL THE FREAKIN' TIME-- as witnessed by my sprawling homestead.. I don't get it.

Passive Aggresivity
It has been confirmed yet again that Greg is the golden child and I'm just the lazy girl who sleeps 'til noon and doesn't do anything all day.
I fucking hate living with someone who talks about me behind my back ALL THE FUCKING TIME and wonders why people don't fucking like her. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?
I don't fucking understand why I'm perceived as lazy just because I keep different hours than a fucking 90-year-old and a 70something-year-old or because I'm not jumping at the bit to do every single fucking chore in the house that needs to be done on a daily basis just because they're old and I'm young or because I didn't manage to get a job THE SECOND I moved to Newport.
I'm so pissed off. At least Grandpa yells at me to my face. Alice just talks about me behind my back to anyone she can spout off at when she thinks I'm not around or can't hear her. THE WALLS AREN'T THICK ALICE!!! I CAN FUCKING HEAR YOU!! I MAY NOT ALWAYS CATCH EVERY SINGLE WORD, BUT I CATCH ENOUGH, AND I'M SICK AND TIRED OF IT!!!!
STOP BEING SO FUCKING PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE!!! IF YOU NEVER TELL ME TO MY FACE THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM, THEN I DON'T EVER PLAN ON FIXING IT! NOT THAT I EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BECAUSE THE ONLY THING YOU COULD POSSIBLY HAVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IS THAT I'M TOO QUIET. AND WHO EVER COMPLAINS ABOUT A ROOMMATE WHO'S TOO QUIET?!!?!?!!? THAT'S RIGHT. NO-ONE.
I'm an awesome fucking roommate. I haven't always been so good at doing chores in the past, but this CANNNOT possibly be an issue for you as I take out the trash every single week and dirty dishes are NEVER left in the sink per your request. I've done everything you've ever fucking asked me to do-- without complaint, mind you-- so I DON'T FUCKING UNDERSTAND WHAT THE FUCKING PROBLEM IS. I THINK the problem is that you think I should VOLUNTEER to do all this bullshit crap without having to ask me-- but that's just too fucking bad. I am not that nice of a person. Besides, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK ELSE YOU THINK IT IS THAT I SHOULD BE DOING?!!?? YOU HAVE A FUCKING MAID, SO IT'S NOT LIKE YOU NEED HELP CLEANING THE HOUSE?!? AND WHAT ELSE IS THERE?!

It Is 2010, Isn’t It?
Last time I checked, I was 30 years old… Not 8. Yes, I am living under Grandpa's roof, so I guess I have to abide by his rules whether I like them or not, but SERIOUSLY?!!?!!? YOU NEVER FUCKING COME UPSTAIRS! WHY THE FUCK SHOULD IT MATTER WHETHER OR NOT MY ROOM IS FUCKING CLEAN!?!?

Last Day! Woot woot!!!
I think it's funny how many people have put up their Christmas lights already, considering it's not yet December-- But I'm glad they did :) It's really a joy to drive down Friday Ave after I've gotten off from work and see all the pretty lights!!!!
It's so nice not working in retail anymore-- I can actually enjoy the holidays instead of cursing their existence. And I don't have perfect strangers yelling at me for doing my job... It's great!!
Anyway, goodbye NaBloPoMo! May I never lapse in judgement again!!

Writer's Block
I wonder how authors do it... Of course, I guess if writing is your full time job, you find a way to make it work. Besides, once you have a plot in place, it's gotta be easier than starting from scratch everyday, right?
Although... I guess it would depend on one's writing style... I wonder how many authors have their book fully realized before they start writing versus how many just start writing and see where it takes them... Is one way easier than the other? Actually, I guess I can see where each has their own advantages.
Already knowing your plot would be nice because then you know where you're trying to get to... But if you're stuck, writing with no destination in mind could take you places you might never have imagined otherwise.
I'm trying to remember the last time I ever had to write a story.. It would have been for school... I know that... In college, Dr. Girard had us rewrite Everyman. But as far as an original story goes, that doesn't really count. I don't know... I remember writing lots and lots of papers... but not much else... I vaguely remember doing some creative writing in 7th grade... and I know there was some in 12 grade--but I don't remember having any moments of brilliance in either.
What I do recall, however, is that I was never much one for brainstorming. At least not in the traditional sense of here's a big bubble in the middle of the paper and here are all the branches stemming from it kind of way. Obviously, it's not actually possible to avoid brainstorming completely-- but yeah... Once I had an idea for whatever assignment I was working on, I went with it. I can only assume then that most of my work must have been fairly one dimensional and not all that interesting. And yet, I've always done well in english class, so maybe I'm not giving myself enough credit-- besides, I must have some sort of writing ability-- people keep reading my blog after all, right?

Doosh
I think I enjoyed our reheated Thanksgiving dinner tonight more than I enjoyed our actual Thanksgiving dinner.
Thanksgiving was nice and all-- but it was just too many people for me... Or maybe it was more that it was too many people that I really don't know all that well, in a tiny house, and no booze.
Tonight was just me, Greg, Dad, and Gloria. I could actually see everyone.. And I could hear everyone. It was relaxed and simple-- Perfect.

Random Thoughts and Musings
I miss the days of illegally downloading music...
I wonder if it's secretly a curse to be so self aware...
In my alternative universe, are my friends named Mick and Hanna? Tim, Rudy, Pam, Lacey, Midge, and Tris(tan)? (Sorry-- nothing really rhymes with Chris... also, Kim and Trudy are apparently now boys...)
Out of the 10 Theatre Majors/Minors/Interested Parties I graduated with, only 3 of us are not engaged/married.
I really don't appreciate how NaBloPoMo has been interfering with my Facebook commitments-- (i.e. Mafia Wars and YoVille).
Popcorn+melted chocolate= Yummy
I hate it when I'm watching a movie/tv show that messes with the time/space contiuum and I can see flaws in their logic...
While I was totally rooting for Kelly to win DWTS-- for the first time ever, I was happy with everyone that made it to the final three and would have been thrilled to see any of them win.
I think this has been one of the strongest seasons I've ever seen of SYTYCD too-- although, I totally hated all three tap dancers... I'm glad they're gone. Also... Mollee and Nathan? Seriously-- get it together. I like you guys, but right now I think you suck.
I hate three hour work days... Yeah, they're short-- but they're still a waste of my time.
I think it's funny that, because I'm pretty, people automatically assume that I know how to function in society. They find it difficult to believe when I say that I'm socially retarded and therefore can't understand why I'm still single. I'm still single because I'm socially retarded!! What's not to understand? I'm like Cristina Yang with the not asking personal questions! Besides.. sometimes I just don't care..
I have no skills.... And even if I did, I'm sure I wouldn't know what to do with them...

Just Something So I Can Say It's Done.
Yay! I heart days off! I got to sleep in! And see New Moon! And read my book! And listen to music! And clean my room! (Okay, I don't heart that... but heart having a clean room!!!) Anyway, my brother is flying in tonight from NC, and we're gonna leave pretty soon to go get him, so I'm gonna sign off-- I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!!

Either/Or
I soooo would rather be reading my book right now... or playing Mafia Wars... or playing YoVille... or playing Free Cell... or watching Castle on the DVR... or sleeping.... or listening to iTunes... or watching my current Netflix movie, Coraline... or reading the latest TFLN.... or reading Us Weekly... or reading EW.... or eating a snack.... or taking a shower... or checking out awkwardfamilyphotos.com... or tweeting... or seeing the latest on thisiswhyyourefat.com... or playing Solitaire... or doing a puzzle... or playing Sudoku... or doing a crossword puzzle... or catching up on 30 Rock online... or catching up on HIMYM online... or having a drink... (oh, wait, I'm already doing that one....) or doing my nails... or trying to predict who's gonna get kicked off of SYTYCD tomorrow... or petting the cats... or being sad that the person I wanted to win DWTS didn't... or being ticked that events that happen live on the East Coast get edited by the time they air on the West Coast--- I'm talking about you AMAs!!... or playing Rock Band... or shopping for a new cell phone... or reading the Midnight Sun draft... or anything but this.

Can It Be December Now?
UGH! What brain cell of mine actually thought NaBloPoMo was going to be a good idea?? And why didn't my other brain cells beat that one brain cell down!???!?!!!! I HATE NABLOPOMO!!!! Everytime I start to write a new blog, everything I write ends up sounding so bitter that I end up deleting what I wrote and starting over. And then I start over two and three more times because everything STILL sounds bitter... So, by the fourth do-over... I end up writing about something COMPLETELY different. (I'm already on my fourth do-over, if that gives you any indication how tonight's going.....) I think I'm going to do a tally at the end of the month of all the blogs that were supposed to be one thing, but ended up being another... Sheesh...
You wanna hear something funny? On my November 30th blog from NaBloPoMo 2007, I actually said, " Thank you for the experience, NaBlo! And if I remember, I think I might come back next year :)"
"I THINK I MIGHT COME BACK NEXT YEAR SMILEY FACE"???!!!??!! WHAT?! WAS I HIGH WHEN I WROTE THAT?!?!?!?! Or was I just trying to be nice? Put a positive spin on it, even though it was complete torture... Oh my god, it was all I could do to NaBloPoMo that year!?!! LITERALLY, 17 out of 30 blogs were 1-3 sentences long. 17 OUT OF 30. That's over half!!!!! I may as well have been twittering!!!
Of course-- I suspect that's exactly why I was feeling more gracious towards NaBloPoMo back then than I am right now--- Of course it didn't seem so bad when all I did was tweet for a month!!!! I've been actually trying to write whole blogs every day, and that's why I'm so worn out... (and bitter! lol)
Yeah... I don't know... NaBlo is pretty cool when you look back on it... But, wow.. it is hell trying to get through it.

I Thought About Blogging, Does That Count?
Hmmmm... Decisions, decisions... Do I write a make-up blog for yesterday? Or do I say, "Well, I missed a day-- screw you NaBloPoMo!!!"?
I guess, by the very nature of the fact that this IS the make-up blog for yesterday, one would say I've gone with the former... But considering I've been trying to write this make-up blog for some hours now, I'm taking a serious look at the latter.
Sigh.. I don't know... I'm practically done with November, so I don't really want to give up... and yet.. I seriously have no idea what I'm going to talk about for 8 more days.
I'm just not motivated!! I'm not even motivated to write about what I did last night that made me miss blogging in the first place!! This should have been an easy make-up blog! But I'm just so bleagh right now.... NaBloPoMo brings me down, man.. It's just so draining... I'd rather make a commitment to post once a week than everyday for a month. At least then, there's room for stuff to happen-- and room to fudge.

Brrrrrrrrr!
So, I'm not quite ready to listen to Christmas music just yet, but in the spirit of the season, I decide to put together a little mix with classic "winter" hits such as (wink, wink):
A Jagged Gorgeous Winter by The Main Drag
Purple Snowflakes by Matt Harding
Snow (Hey Oh) by the Red Hot Chili Peppers
Love Like Winter by AFI

Snow Lion by Readymade FC feat Feist
Cold by Crossfade
Cold Shoulder by Adele
Silver and Cold by AFI
No One by Cold
Hot N Cold by Katy Perry
Cold Decemeber by Matt Costa
Baby It's Cold Outside by Leon Redbone and Zooey Deschanel

Seriously!?!?!!?!?
1. When people come up to my window and I have not called them to my window. Bitches! I will call you when I am ready! If I have not called you, I am not ready!!
2. Conversly-- when I am trying to call someone to my window and they are looking anywhere and everywhere, (except in my direction!), and no amount of waving or yelling will get their attention. Bitches! I got things to do, and I don't have all day! I will only try to get your attention twice... they you're on your own.
3. (It helps if you use a disdainful Valley Girl accent when you read this one)
So, like.....umm... I thought I was the merchant teller? I mean, like that's the job you hired me to do? So... Shouldn't merchants be my first priority? Like, why am I helping all these lobby people first? I don't get it.
4. How do they know!?!?!?!
So, we have these nifty coin trays at work that hold all of our loose change. It's got rows of slots in it for each of the different coins to make it easier for counting later. However, they're super old, and do not have slots for the presidential dollar coins. So, basically, my dollar coins end up hanging out in the slots meant for the half dollars, because those are the only slots big enough for the dollar coins to sit it. Which means I end up hand counting them all at the end of the night because I never know how many I have.
I get sooooo excited when I finally have enough to roll them all and I don't have to look at them anymore! Yay!
It happens EVERY TIME. Everytime I roll a dang thing of dollar coins... somebody gives me ten more. DAMN YOU, SALAZAR!!!
5. Okay, AT may be nice, but I'm starting to think he doesn't know what the F he's doing... (Sigh.. I probably shouldn't really be that surprised.. AT did use to work with TW at another branch.....) And I could've sworn that TW said that AT used to be a teller before... but he had to have been talking about someone else-- a teller would know this:
So, sometimes when the line in the lobby gets really long, but the platform side is slow, the PBs will go through the line and write down people's IDs and stuff for us to save on time. Well, that's great and all, but AT doesn't always write down everything that he's supposed to.
A person can use their debit card as their primary ID ONLY if it has a photo on it. So, when you're documenting someone's debit card as their ID you have to say that-- you have to write down photo or picture, or however the eff you want to say it, but you gotta write it down. And AT never does--- he never writes down "photo"!
So, I always end up having to request the person's ID again-- which is how I've come to find out that AT's been documenting debit cards WITHOUT A PHOTO!!!! What the fuck, AT!?!?!?! IF THERE'S NOT PHOTO, IT'S NO GOOD! SO WHY ARE YOU WRITING IT DOWN!?!? PLUS! I HATE YOUR STUPID MESSY GIANT SIZED HANDWRITING! AND STOP WRITING IN MY PRINTING SPACE!
6. Mind your own beeswax T! He came up to me today, and was like, "You've got someone back there." He was trying to let me know that a merchant had just walked up and sat down and was waiting. Which, granted, that was nice of him... But not only had I already seen my merchant come up and sit down... Ummm... Seriously, AT?!?!!? Do you NOT see the mountain of deposits sitting on my counter right now!?!?!?!? I AM ALREADY HELPING A MERCHANT!!!!!! Mind your own business!! I know my job! I know what I'm doing! And I STILL don't understand what you thought I was doing that you thought I wasn't already helping someone!?!? Lobby, merchant, whatever-- I had money in my hands, entering numbers on the computer, and a ton of shit on my counter-- What was there to miss, that you just thought I was standing around doing nothing?!?????
P.S. Oh-- you're probably wondering-- I can't remember T's last name... so, I nicknamed him AT-- which is why sometimes I refer to him as T and others as AT.

The Silence Is Deafening
I hate it when I think I'm funny and nobody comments on my brilliant-ness.
It's like when you're in a play-- a comedy-- and the audience doesn't laugh!!? Even though they think the play is funny! They come up later and say "Oh, that was hilarious!" Well then, why weren't you laughing?!!????
I think some audiences don't laugh out loud because they have this sense of like "Oh, we don't want to disrupt the play with our laughter" or "I'm gonna hold in my laughter, because I want to be able to hear what's coming next.." But, HELLLLLLOOO?!?! We're actors!! We need the instant gratification!!!! (Besides, good actors pause the play until the laughter subsides!)
I don't think audiences realize just how much we feed off their energy.. And when they don't laugh at the funny stuff... It-- well, more than anything.. it just confuses us. We often wonder why it didn't get the laugh. We do our our best not to bring the play down because of it-- but it's hard. You move on, and you deal with it the best you can... Because that's the way of it... Enrapt as they may be... some audiences are just stubbornly silent. Sigh.
It's like when you're in a play-- a comedy-- and the audience doesn't laugh!!? Even though they think the play is funny! They come up later and say "Oh, that was hilarious!" Well then, why weren't you laughing?!!????
I think some audiences don't laugh out loud because they have this sense of like "Oh, we don't want to disrupt the play with our laughter" or "I'm gonna hold in my laughter, because I want to be able to hear what's coming next.." But, HELLLLLLOOO?!?! We're actors!! We need the instant gratification!!!! (Besides, good actors pause the play until the laughter subsides!)
