"Shut up!"
Mar. 14th, 2007 12:27 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
lumy12-I have pretty much no work right now. Unless I want to type up my job notes – pfft, I’m saving that daunting task for when I really need to. I should have a good deal of work tomorrow, possibly even later today, whenever the HR guys get it to me. Unfortunately, I’m not in a fic-writing mood, so I guess I’ll just babble in Word and sneak online real quick to post it.
I was chatting with a couple people yesterday about the “no internet” thing and they sneak online sometimes still too. “I don’t think you have to worry unless you’re on it the whole day,” says S. Yeahhhh not that I used to do that or anything <.<
-Still PMSing. Must I babble about it every month in my LJ? Why, yes, apparently I must.
-Aaron invited me up to Vegas for some banquet thing that has something to do with wrestling - ? I don’t know. It’s next month. And now his sister is wanting me to come up early so she can do a makeover on me. Ha! It should be fun, but I’m really not into spending money on myself like that – and I’ll feel hella guilty if I let her pay (she does like to throw money around a bit, but still). I need to know which weekend it is first though, because if it’s around payroll time I can only do a turnaround trip.
-Dork alert: I’m on Song #1061 out of 1385 songs on my iPod (mini) – I’ve been shuffling for a while now, with my goal to reach the end and have it stop playing on its own. I’ve never made it even beyond about 400 before, because usually I want to play a certain playlist or add/delete songs and stuff before too long. Or I accidentally hit a button to go to the menu and that stops everything.
-Some strange guy ordered $1000 worth of stuff from me. I’m not sure what he plans to do with it all. I’ve never had a single order larger than $200 before. I’m kinda excited but kinda worried – it appears to be a business thing, but he doesn’t type like an office person… I don’t know. He got my contact info off the website but I stopped paying for my site a couple months ago, I didn’t think anyone could find me there anymore. I have his credit card number and will of course charge his card before sending out his order. He said he’ll arrange for FedEx to come pick it up, but then his address is really not far from my work, so I offered to deliver it personally but he didn’t respond to that. Maybe I’m just paranoid… but I don’t like selling to strangers. I’m too “nice” and people take advantage, but I keep being nice because I don’t think I have it in me to be mean. I pester people who owe me money but probably not as hard-ass as I should. Everyone is worse off than I am. I know, I KNOW, that’s not my problem – but still. If I can afford to be generous I will be.
-Speaking of which… I haven’t even talked to T since she gave me back my house key. Maybe she feels weird since I bit her head off that one time, even though we talked since then… I dunno, I guess I don’t really care all that much, to be honest. What a beeyotch I am. I should call her, but I won’t, because I’m just like that. She’ll probably call me on my birthday. I guess I have to answer the phone then. Heh.
-I should call K too, and I WILL indeed call her – we’re fine as long as she doesn’t probe too much about what I’m up to these days. I know she’d have issues with my RPing. I’m not just making an assumption here, I KNOW she would, based on some stuff she’s said about her husband, and the fact that she didn’t care for my long-ago, Prodigy-era (shit-tastic) RPing… granted, I didn’t deal with the whole “you are not your character” thing very well back then and I got waaaaaaaaay too into it. I weaned myself off of it by taking a 2-week hiatus from the internet.
-Anyhoo. Upward and onward. My bro, our mom, and I all have March birthdays so we typically just get together once in celebration of all three. (Of course, when we were kids it was different – but now we’re old and birthdays are no big deal) I guess that’s not going to happen anymore. Mom is taking us out this weekend, Dad is taking us out next weekend. Separately. Silly me, I asked my dad why we didn’t all just go out once like we usually do – “Well, your mother didn’t invite me.” *eyeroll* I offered to ask her if it was okay if he came because I was sure it would be (especially since he’d be paying), but he was like “no that’s okay, she’ll do her thing and I’ll do mine.” So I guess this is how it’s gonna be now. Hey, my brother and I get two dinners out of the deal. Sweet! But if Dad’s not paying for all of us then we really ought to take my mom out for HER birthday separately, or else we all pay our own way that night.
I think we should examine Christmas when the time draws nearer… because I’m presuming that everyone is only making a fuss then because of me. Because I love it so much. The decorating, the shopping, the wrapping, the bakingeven though I didn’t do that part ‘til February this year, the spending-the-night-at-Home-on-Christmas-Eve thing. No one else really cares about all that. A couple years ago when we elected to scale down the birthdays, I protested but acquiesced with “As long as we still do Christmas.” But, really – if there’s something we want, we can just go buy it for ourselves. Well, I have a few months to mull things over and perhaps do the noble thing and suggest that maybe we tone it down to one gift each or something. Or possibly no gifts. I’m a big girl, I don’t need the whole holiday thing. It’s not their fault I never got married and never had kids and therefore never moved on to my own traditions with my own family that I never had (yeah, that’s Jack Sparrow-ish speak, mateys!).
-They make American Idol ice-cream now. Lol
Aren’t you guys glad I don’t do my AI rambling in here? It sucks being on west coast time though because by the time I get to the discussion post it’s already hundreds of comments long and everyone’s pretty much done with it.
-Dork Alert the Second: I ate an orange while watching Lost last week, and am going to eat another one watching it tonight. (don’t forget to watch it,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
snowflakie06!) Actually two, but one is tiny so it kinda doesn’t count.
-A coworker of mine just told me that she’s been watching all the Star Wars movies with her nearly-6-year-old daughter. Cuuuute. The little girl says, “Young Obi-Wan is cute, but old Obi-Wan is just old!” Ha ha. And “Do you want him to be your boyfriend, Mommy?” And Mom says, “Yes, I do” – so now her boyfriends are Obi-Wan Kenobi and Professor Snape. Heeeeee. I asked if the wee one thought Hayden Christensen was cute – no she did not! Clueless child.
-Speaking of Snape… well, HP in general. The community![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
read_hp looks interesting but I’m already well into my re-reading mission. And it’s a good thing, because it looks like they’re reading 2 chapters a day, every day. I just started Order of the Phoenix last night. And I bet these folks will PASS me. Hehe. I love to read, I just don’t make enough time for it. I also have three SW books I haven’t gotten around to yet. I blame LJ. Yes, all of you! You distract me! But I love you guys. *group hug!*
-I'm really jealous thatdarthsemicolon is in England right now. Like, really jealous. Bah, I never go anywhere and I never do anything and I'm the most boring person ever, a complete waste of space on the planet, etc. etc.
Enough babbling. I promise you won’t hear another peep from me until the Friday Five goes up. Except for commenting on your entries, of course, which I will refrain from doing until after work.

I'm just ... jealous of people in general these days, but particularly Megan and Amber. *le sigh* I am just about to look at her pics from the other day and make myself even more jealous.
Tell ya what, we'll spend next year raising the money and then we'll go together!

I think she's one of those people who can't stand being by themselves - they have to have someone/anyone or they feel worthless. They make fun of me for not having a boyfriend but i'm like ' better to have no boyfriend than a loser/drunk boyfriend.'

You say about being on the west coast is bad for American Idol - being in England is bad for Lost - you watch it *days* before me. So unfair.
