ZOMG! A Blog!

Ok. Ummmmm. I haven't actually updated in a long long long while. So, now I'm updating because I'm still depressed about my impending unemployment. :( I'm getting laid off at the end of the month and it's not my fault. I don't want to find another job. I like my current job. The people here are really great to work with. I really don't want to have to go meet a new set of people who may be stuffy little busy bodies who won't like the new person because they're new. I'm trying to keep my head up. I've had trouble concentrating on looking for another job. Probably because I really really really don't want any other job but this one. I've been told that because of my continuing to do my job to the best of my ability and sometimes even going above and beyond, that if they get to hire another day time person, I'm at the top of the list. That's all find and dandy, but it's still just an "if" situation.

The global community is uniting. As a show of solidarity, please change layouts to something green. If you have any green userpics, please use those too. These are our brothers fighting for their freedom. They are being systematically silenced. Show the government of Iran that we stand beside our oppressed brothers.

I came across this picture on twitter and thought I should share it with people on my flist. :P It makes me lol.

I have decided that I hate the month of May. I also rather dislike mother's day. Three years ago was the last time I gave a damn about anything to do with May. It's a sucky month. May can DIAF for all I care.

I added me some new icons. w00t. I only get 36, but that's ok. :) I can change them out if I want. I don't really use half of them anyway. >XD I like the one I'm using for this post. I find it really cute and funny at teh same time. I've had kittens look at me like that. I had one that if you held her like in the icon, she would shadow box. :P She also had a mouth on her, which is why we named her Mouth. >XD

I am for serious tired. :( Maybe I should have another go at making tea. I almost got it right this time, but I don't think I let it steep long enough and I may not have been able to poor the correct amount of water into the little tea pot. I'm making it at work, so getting a decent container to boil water in is kinda hard.

Soooooooooo, Dad finally got rid of his California King. Well, technically Kim and her boyfriend got rid of it. Dad couldn't be there when it was taken out. He still hurts a lot. It needed to go anyway. It was too big and too empty for him. Plus, Mom's side was still stained with her blood from that night. It's a little creepy. Kim said there were things under that bed that hadn't seen the light of day in years. I should have asked her if she found Jimmy Hoffa. :P I don't know how I feel about the bed going. I can understand why it needed to go, but I just don't know how I feel about it. So many memories are attached to that bed. We all kinda hung out in Mom and Dad's room a lot. I remember summer vacations spent watching TV with Moma. When her soap came on she would always drift off to sleep, but if you tried to change the channel she'd wake right up and make you change it back. Waking up after bad dreams or after getting sick in the middle of the night, I'd go in there and in the darkness nudge her to wake her up. It always took a couple nudges. When she slept, she could really sleep. Oh well. I gotta stop writing now. I have to fix my computer monitor. It's gone all blurry on me. Stupid technology.

Today I went on an adventure to find an international market near my area. I thought I found one on Thompson Lane. It was an international market, but not the one I was looking for. It was a middle eastern international market. Not wanting to be rude, I bought some cinnamon sticks. So, I was going to leave and go home, but then I got the bright idea to try going down Nolensville Pike and trying to hit the one that I knew was down by the Cici's Pizza near Bell Rd. I thought I had gone the wrong way but then I happened upon the market. It was awesome. :D I bought Ramune soda, and Pocky, and some microwave white rice, and also some kind of chinese chicken and noodle bowl. I followed some signs to get to the interstate and noticed that I knew the area somewhat because I had gotten lost there before back when I was working a security post in the area. :P I got home ok. I'm currently waiting for the Quidditch match to begin. A little over an hour to go. :D

I think that is is finally time I make an new post. Why? Because I'm fucking bored and don't feel like killing shit on Halo. I have tons of shit to do this week. I need to clean my house, get my taxes done, get the part I need to fix my car, and pay other bills(not necessarily in that order). After that I plan to go see a movie at the IMAX because I haven't been to the movies in AGES and I want to go see Coraline. I have been mega tired lately too. I'm not entirely sure why that is. Probably a side effect of working second shift and having a whacked out sleep schedule. Whatever. I keep trying to start doing stuff in the HiH community, but for some reason I can't get myself motivated. I've done a couple of activities and some sorting and that is it. I can't even bring myself to write something. I'm looking forward to my tax refund. I need to get my own phone line and get out from under my sis's account. I also can't wait to get my car fixed. One thing at a time! :( I've also been feeling sick. I don't have the money nor the time to go to a doctor just yet so I'm hoping that it's just the change in weather and not a sinus infection. If I start to feel any worse than I'm going to take a sick day to deal with it and go to the doctor. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.

Oddly enough, I was sorted Hufflepuff at HiH. :P

Your result for The Sorting Hat Test...

Slytherdor

Random post time. Why? BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT! Booya! I just borrowed Fallout 3 from a friend. I haven't gotten very far into it because I'm also playing this browser based space game on my computer. It's great for work. I have nothing to do on the evening shift. No one is here, so fuck it, I'll play a game. :P Makes time go faster. I'm gettin geared up for Friday. It's all srs bzns cuz it's a candlelight vigil. My cat is still doing weird things. She randomly jumps on my chair and stares at the wall then attempts to pounce ON THE WALL! I'm not entirely sure what is wrong with her. Must be some sort of cat thing. I'm going to get her some more toys that she can play with while I'm out of the house. I should probably keep a couple of 12 pack boxes around too. She loves those for some reason. MMMMMM! Strawberry soda. >XD So, it sucks working evenings. I miss all the good shows on TV. But thanks be to the interwebs for providing a way to see the shows that aren't put on OnDemand. >XD w00t.
