wth

Why did I bring the big box* of death if I totally wasn’t going to use it?

I guess I used it briefly.

And I did add like 800 words in the course of today.

Which is probably less than useful considering I need to finish up the project I’m working on at home now. And I don’t know why I’d be able to do it faster at home. It’s ten pages of editing…

My life’s getting out of hand. Robyn said I was a good business investment, but I sometimes can’t help thinking I’m not cut out for this grown-up lifestyle. I’ve definitely gotten really bad at managing my finances. For example: I spent $60 today on something I just don’t have the money for.

I bought ( hopefully reputable ) ticket savings things for Dallas Stars games. I got three free tickets and buy one get one type things. I’m gonna offer my mom the buy one get one.

And I think I’m going to have to ask for the $50 she promised me. I don’t know. *sigh*

Basically, halloween involved a huge fight between her and I which ended with her revoking the gift she’d given me ( because I told her I didn’t really like it because it was NOT what she’d promised me and it wasn’t really anything that I cared about ) and telling me she was just going to give me $50 instead. Well…I’m dead broke and I’m supposed to be going to a NOWD ( Night of Writing Dangerously ) thing for NaNo and I’m supposed to be going to see Imogen Heap ( which I’m defs gonna have to cancel. I have no money ) and I’m supposed to be going to see Eisley ( which I most certainly do NOT want to cancel ) and…I’m broke.

Why did I buy that? That makes $100 straight out of my last check that I wasted. You see, having money like this is really bad for me.

So.

I’m going to start putting money in a “savings account.” But only a hypothetical account, because you have to have $500 or more to have a savings account now or you get like two hundred dollars in fines every month. >.<

I'm going to start plan where I write down how much i've "put in savings" and that money is going to be inaccessible to me. That way, maybe I'll stop dropping literally hundreds of dollars on fast food and entertainment that I really can't afford.

I don't even have a car! What the heck is that?!

The downside to all this is that my life is about to get a heck of a lot more boring. And I'm probably not going to eat very much anymore considering there's never anything at the commune to eat and my house is woefully understocked of anything even remotely edible by me ( other than tomato soup. Go tomato soup. ) which means starvation if I'm not buying food.

Oh! I just remembered we have rice and soy sauce. So…I'm making myself egg fried rice on a regular basis now.

And I'm supposed to be cleaning out the fridges.

And my room.

All this weekend.

So much for ever seeing Guppie ever again.

And I got stood up again.

And i can't move out because of financial restrictions but I really don't want to live at home anymore.

dru is not in a good mood.

Can you tell?

Maybe when I get a car I won't feel so trapped.

But I can't get a car if I keep THROWING MY FUCKING MONEY AWAY!

grr.

*Guppie’s Computer Case. It’s huge and looks like it could very easily contain a bomb.

 

I’m hungry for Gyoza :P

Hey, i wanted to say that i’m really sorry i haven’t blogged recently. I’ve got myself a lil list of ones i need to do. mainly the trip to London and another Japanese lesson. I’ve been studying it really hard recently. I wasn’t given any homework this week, so i have to think of my own. I’m thinking vocabulary, cause I kinda suck at that. I can read more Kanji now which is AWESOME But vocab is the one thing i need to learn / practice.

I have a few workbooks, one i shouldn’t really use cause we’re working through it in my Advanced class. I also have to blog with photos of this weeks and last weeks nails. I’m sorry i haven’t done another tutorial video yet. I was going to, but in the end i gave up cause it was really are to find somewhere to place the camera and still get everything in shot and crystal clear. Nevermind, i’ll just have to post all the photos, at least that way i’ll be blogging  more.

I really really really fancy some Gyoza round about now they’re really nice, except when i tried to make some myself i ended up having hot boiling oil on my arm. ow. now i have a scar >_<

But come on, how is this not appertising:

 

Lu x

A to Z: Anna Tsuchiya. She’s half Japanese, Half russian and her songs are usually in English. Have a listen to her album The NUDY Show, i love it

 

Blehck

I find the smell of peanut butter to be overwhelming and rather gross.

Blegh.

Like how I blog a lot when I can’t tweet?

OIWEJGOIHB!

Love slacker radio so much =)

Lunch Is Bueno

I – just now – decided that the one word title kick thing I’ve been on is stupid. As such, I’m going to resume my normal “I make really random titles!” form. =D

Lunch = Cheese Nachos from Taco Bueno. So yummy. Only problem is that they’re from the store on University meaning the salsa ( which is made fresh in store every night ) is nowhere near as good as the salsa from the Bueno on Ft Worth Drive.

And some of the chips were undercooked meaning they tasted stale.

But, whatever. For $2.05 it was a ridiculously small and overpriced. But let’s assume the price was smaller. For $1.54 it was delicious and totally yums.

Random news item of the day: I miss Guppie. =( And Andrew unsubscribed. I’m pretty sure that he thinks I don’t want to talk to him since I rarely reply to his txts. But he usually txts me either when I’m busy or asleep ( the other morning, for example, he txted me at like 3.48 or some such nonsense at which point I was simultaneously busy AND asleep. ) and then I forget to txt him back. Because I have a stellar memory like that. Ask Drew [ Taco Bueno Drew, not Andrew ]. I totally promised to call him back last night then fell asleep completely forgetting to call him. :/

Point is, I don’t like it when my friends think I hate their guts because I forget to txt them back. And he unsubscribed from the blog ( after sending me Goodbyes by txt and twitter. ) so…I’m worried. Andrew and I have been friends for years and have known each other for years and years before that.

So…yeah. I called him and left him 2 msgs. So if he replies, I’ll make a point to drop what I’m doing to reply to him. If he doesn’t…I guess he doesn’t want anything to do with me anymore.

Sad days.

And I still miss Guppie.

Sammich

I’m sitting outside my boss’ window at work having just finished a highly satisfying peanut butter sandwich. I realize, looking at the tags, that it might seem I’m having a peanut butter and fish sandwich, but, while that does sound horrifyingly delicious – and by delicious I mean heineously disgusting – it was just a plain old peanut butter ‘wich.

I’ve often described ska as a PB&J sandwich where punk was the P and jazz was the J. I understand that ska is actually a closer derivitave of reggae, but I think ska sounds amazing when popped into the metaphor of a peanut butter sandwich.

I’m telling you this because I want you to understand what I mean when I say – and I often do – that I’m having a punk sandwich. Cuz I just ate one, and it was delicious.

Summary: Guppie is amazing. Peanut butter is awesome. It’s hard to blog coherently from an iPhone. I’m tired.

Peanut butter is awesome. That’s really what you should take away from this blog today.

Juice

Watching orange juice flow into my cup is like watching the sun come down from the skies and grace me with his beauty, health and light.

I love orange juice.

Annnd! I’m about to go out and get totally pissed with a gorgeous young man and one of my best friends. Life = Lush right now.

I’ll be sure to tell you about it all tomorrow. =) Maybe even with some video. lol

Family Dinner

We went out to dinner tonight. To celebrate mom’s getting a job and us not being dirt poor as a family anymore because of her job.

I, of course, was relatively unaffected by familiar recession. Only thing I felt was losing nearly $120 in groceries in a fortnight and a half to allow us to continue eating and washing clothes.

So, anyway:

We went to Pizza Inn in Denton tonight ( the one across from Kroger’s? ) and, due to my frequent exits, I sat in the middle. Nathan was telling me about something ( I’m not really sure what ) and mom told him to look at me when he was talking to me [ He has a really bad habit of looking at the table or someone he knows is going to support him when he's talking instead of looking at the person he's talking to. She was really nice about it, not at all rude ] so he looked at me and finished his story. I realized, when he did this, that he doesn’t ever blink. I mean, I know he closes his eyes ( I’ve seen him asleep =) I actually have a picture of him and the cat from the same point of time in the afternoon in separate rooms in exactly the same position lol =D ) but he just doesn’t blink. So I stared at him for a minute – which I know makes him uncomfortable – and he looked down and added another little note about whatever he was talking about. I cut across the end of it and went “Nathan? Do you ever blink?” He just goes “No.”

It was SO hilariously funny. I discovered that Nat and I have more in common than I thought. Both of us have absolutely startlingly funny senses of humour, but people don’t always understand it because of the way we deliver things. I noticed that about The Little Prince as well. But he’s much, much drier than Nat.

The point is: Nathan is awesome. And I don’t recognize that enough.

I think you can tell, the family is a little more peaceful than it was. =)

[ Ooh! The food was pretty good. I found a beer that's actually not half bad: Michelob Ultra. And the pizzas were really decent. Not as good as Papa John's ( obviously ) but not bad as buffet 'zas go. ]

Baked Potato

I’m at work – of course – and I just finished my lunch.

For lunch I ate a baked potato.

And…well, the microwave ( being all fancy ) has a baked potato button. So I clicked it. But I didn’t realise that the system of buttons was set up like this:

|option|
|option|
|option|
|button|
|option|
|option|
|button|
|option|
|option|
|option|
|button|

But thought it was set up so the button on top corresponded with the options below it. Like this:

|button|
|option|
|option|
|option|
|button|
|option|
|option|

So I clicked the wrong button, and got thoroughly confused when it asked how many ounces my as-yet-unbaked potato weighed. So I cleared everything out and announced to Jenny – a co-worker – that “I’ll just put it in for four and a half minutes and see what happens” with an air of not being able to figure out the microwave buttons and really just wanting to eat my dumb potato.

Then, in a wave of inspiration and understanding, I figured out that the buttons go in the opposite direction and – with much excitement – shouted “Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!! I get it!” and happily punched in the combination of keys to bake my potato perfectly.

Any guesses on what the time readout was when I got it set right?

4:30.

>.<

 

 

"Yeah, that was a really lame story"
'You know what?! It was HILARIOUS at the time.'
"It may have been. That doesn't mean you have to blog about it."
'Well, I used to blog about nothing all the time and people read it. Now I blog about stuff almost never. Which is better?!'
"I, well… That doesn't even really make sense."
'Probably…I've been reading xkcd too much…'

Go read xkcd.

[ I tag insomnimaniacal antics because I'm ridiculously tired. =D ]
