lumy12A real update! Alas, it’s not very exciting. Such is my boring life. I’m typing this sneakily at work, in Word, and instead of emailing it to myself at home I think I’ll just hop online for a minute just to post it. I’ve been really good lately, I don’t think one minute will kill me.
Work: It’s kind of nice not being afraid of getting in trouble every time my boss pulls me into her office. I did kind of stir up some trouble last week, though… I won’t bore you with details but to summarize, I thought a policy change was unfair – mostly due to the fact that we didn’t hear about it until a month after it went into effect – so I whined. I thought my whining would lead to an exception being made for me pretty easily (because others in my situation had exceptions made for them, but apparently I wasn’t supposed to KNOW about this) – but it turned into this big to-do involving the Big Big Big Boss. I think I put enough “bigs” in there – it’s the person three levels up from my boss. I did end up getting my way partially. I agreed to a compromise.
And, unrelated to that, for the first time in over 5 years I’m being asked to curtail my overtime. Er – more than just curtail it, ELIMINATE it unless there’s a really good reason. This will put a dent in my pay as I’m quite accustomed to getting overtime every pay cycle. I understand, though. It’s not hard to finagle my schedule to avoid overtime. But since I take the mail to the post office every day, I have to announce when I leave early. Heh. If anyone cares to ask why I’m leaving early so much I tell them the truth, and say I’d much rather get the overtime.
T: She just returned my housekey to me – she hasn’t even needed it in a long time, and I didn’t ask her for it back, but I’m glad she gave it back. They’re finally settling into an apartment of their own. FINALLY. I’m happy for her, and especially happy for J. I probably shouldn’t have mentioned that my brother suspects her husband of breaking into his place that one time, but I did, in a moment of anger and annoyance that they showed up at my house unannounced last month when I was in a very foul mood. If it makes her feel awkward about coming to my house, I don’t really care. See what a great friend I am? Ha! I do care about her and wish her all the best in life, blah blah blah… but we don’t have the same emotional connection I have with K or with Aaron.
Blech: I don’t feel like I fully bounced back out of the funk I was in last month, but right now I’m blaming PMS. Stupid things make me cry. (Anna Nicole Smith’s death did not, however) Also, Valentine’s Day annoys me. Yes, every media outlet must bombard all of us “losers” with shit to make us feel more loserly. And I don’t even want a boyfriend. The part of me that wishes I was normal does, but I don’t want anyone touching me or fawning over me, and I’d rather just stay self-absorbed and solitary, kthxbye.
My parents: Okay, I don’t really want to say much about them. It’s sad that tomorrow is their 34th (and final) anniversary and they’re separated.
RP: I’ve been on the angsty side so I kinda feel like I shouldn’t be RPing, but I think I’ve managed to keep the emo out. I wasn’t even going to log on last night but I guess I’m just too addicted. Ha! My inner-D! is more emo than in-game D! should be. I hope you don’t get too annoyed that I create characters for him to be with, Megan, but… you know, no one wants to pair up with him cuz he’snot Ewan not sexy and Ani just won’t let him be monogamous so… well, I don’t know what else to do. I’ll keep that mostly out of game and just mentioned in datapad entries, maybe.
Depa’s really more just bitter and jaded than emo… I’ve decided she hates Valentine’s Day too. Poor Depa, nobody loves her. Aoife’s okay… for the moment. I’m debating when to give her her first little boyfriend, or whether to have her crush on Ani first.
I didn’t apply to that one game I was stalking and people applied for both the characters I was interested in. Oh well. That was before I decided to quit slacking at work, so… yeah, I have much less time to RP anyway when I’m not slacking at work. I like how at omg!ls you don’t have to keep up with any other plots or post weekly synopses or anything like that.
I’ve looked at a Lost RP that seems interesting but, having seen each episode only once and having missed a few episodes besides, I don't think I'd be the best suited for a serious RP in that fandom.
Dieting: I’m not REALLY dieting, I’m just trying to be mindful of what I eat instead of stuffing my face at every opportunity. I’d like to drop a few pounds so my clothes fit better. I also wish I could make myself work out, at least go walking in the evenings, the weather’s so nice… but I never do, I just sit on my ass in front of the computer.
I forgot to grab a lunch when I left this morning… which means I should skip it and wait ‘til I get home, but my psyche will probably use my PMS as an excuse to go get McDonald’s or something. I fail!

I may put up a to-do list later for myself for this weekend but I think I’ll back-date it rather than spam you guys. Ehhhhhhh fuck the list. I'll do whatever I feel like getting done and if I don't do it OH WELL, nothing urgent this weekend.

Date: 2007-02-09 06:25 pm (UTC)Hey, I said three of my characters would probably hook up with D!. That's not even including Anakin. Wait, no, I lied. Four of my characters. Really, the only of my characters that wouldn't are Ferus and Qui.
The problem with Depa is that she was created specifically for IC!Mace to interact with. And now that he's gone it's kinda hard for her to find a place, I think.
I fail at dieting. In that I just ate a load of pancakes. Mmmm pancakes.
no subject
Date: 2007-02-09 07:22 pm (UTC)*puts Barriss back in her box* Mmmm, pancakes. I really want some scrambled eggs. :( If my mom sends me money to go shopping, I'm totally buying a dozen eggs (because they're painfully expensive on campus) and boiling them. Not the same as scrambled, but still yummy.
*stops taking over Wendy's journal* *or, really, goes to write an actual reply to her post*
no subject
Date: 2007-02-09 07:41 pm (UTC)-That's why I started playing her, yes, but she's interacted with plenty of others since then and it shouldn't be this hard, ya know? Maybe I'll try to do more evile things with her. I used to have evile plans for her but they didn't pan out.
no subject
Date: 2007-02-09 07:51 pm (UTC)Bardan, DP, Stass would because she doesn't like traditionally handsome guys like Obi-hence her totally shooting Alain down, and Olee probably would too but she'd drive D! MAD with teasing first. That's what she did to my!Qui. Then add Ani to that mess, and you've got five of my characters that would. Qui probably would've back when he was a skank but not so much now.
Mace needs to talk to Depa but he's gonna like..take her out or something. Also she should totally hang out with Bardan more. Hmmm also maybe Stass. Stass and Depa would get on well I think..well, when Depa's high. Also maybe DP, only DP is only with D! these days. They could get high together though.

Date: 2007-02-09 09:13 pm (UTC)He could try again...that might actually be amusing for someone not to just hop right in bed with him. Although, she might not jump in bed with him at all even if he did try.

Date: 2007-02-09 11:00 pm (UTC)Yeah I kinda noticed that Mace and Barriss got engaged - she'll be surprised but it's not like her'n'Mace are even together soooo no big deal.

Date: 2007-02-09 07:26 pm (UTC)Mace: *thinks Depa should move to Hoth and live with him so they can raise tauntauns named Obi-Wan together*
Yeeeaah, I was thinking last summer that I could get down to 150 before my trip. Lol, Megan. Lol.
I'm actually having a much healthier lunch than I'd planned (a sandwich vs. a greasy fat-filled microwave pizza), but damnit, calories make me feel better when I'm emo. *eyes the unopened bag of Hershey's Kisses with caramel*

Date: 2007-02-09 07:36 pm (UTC)I like Depa and don't really want to send her away :(

Also, isn't it really "white trash" to swing by the grocery store JUST to pick up beer? I never do that. But I totally did that today. Go me!
no subject
Date: 2007-02-09 11:07 pm (UTC)Um...well...at home, the only places to buy beer are the gas station and the grocery store. So stopping at the gas station is totally trashier.
