A Cartoonish Life

I'm up here on campus, waiting for my professional writing "class" today. We have no final, but we're just getting our graded final projects back, so I'm wasting time on the nice high-speed Internet-access computers. Mom was all whiny before I left and was all, "Why do you have to waste gas to go up to campus when you don't even have a final today?" And I just got really bitchy with her, told her, "Hey, I'd like to have this graded project to put in my portfolio by graduation time, and today's the only day I can get it. If you're going to have a problem with it, then go ahead."

I hate our dial-up access with Netscape at home. I hate it, hate it, haaaaaate it. Problem is, I've looked into broadband and DSL, and it's not available to me because I live in Bum-Fuck, Egypt. My only other possible option is to go with HughesNet satellite internet provider, but that's like $600. *rolls eyes* Like I have that sort of money to waste on the Internet.

This is just a heads-up. I might not be updating as frequently as I normally do. Lately, I haven't been spending as much time on the computer as I usually do, mainly because my computer is a gigantic piece of crap that keeps freezing up on me and my brother whenever we use it. So after I finish up this LJ entry, I'm going to mosey on over to my Yahoo email account, delete all of my spam, and send some nasty emails to whomever sent me the spam to stop it.

I think we had a pretty good crowd at Rocky Horror this weekend. I don't know exactly why I was in such an awnry (sp?) mood. Maybe it was my devil horns. Maybe it was the fact that it was a full moon outside. Maybe it was the goddamned time change. (I'm still adjusting--I completely forgot about the time change!) But a good time was had by all. You can always tell how good of a crowd we had by how much stuff we have to clean up after the show.

I finally got around to watching Hedwig and the Angry Inch. I think it's one of those movies that you either love it or hate it. I loved it. I had to watch it a few times before I really got it. It's rather poetic.

Okay, so more shit with Spencer's. I was called in early to work at Blockbuster on Friday, I believe. I get home around eight, and it turns out Jan called up. Hunter told her I was at work at Blockbuster tonight. Hunter says she got all huffy and said something like, "Well, just tell her she has to come pick up her paychecks." Oh-kay, here's what I don't get...what paychecks?! Unless she means my paystubs. But she hasn't had me on the schedule for the last two weeks, since the days (wait, I mean day) she likes to have me work always conflict with Blockbuster's, so it's not like I've had any money coming my way in the last two weeks from there. And like I said...what paychecks?! We don't get paychecks anymore; it's all directly deposited into my banking account. No, she just wants me to drop by so she can give me some shit. I'm not saying anything bad here about her, but this is the way I see it. I think she might have also gotten pissed off because Joanie from St. Anthony's might have called for a reference.

That's right, I had a follow-up interview at St. Anthony's earlier today. That went pretty well. They have one other person to interview for the position, but I heard from the grapevine (hospital workers in sterilization and central supply through Gramma) that they are trying to shy away from hiring college students since they need someone with a more stable schedule for the position, and the other girl that applied is a college student. And yes, I do plan on going back to college to finish up my degree (maybe in a year when I have enough money saved), and I explained that in my interview today (and on Thursday). Man, I could really use this job, too.

On Sunday, I realized that I'm a fool to fall to pieces for being so hung up on a guy I knew I had no chance in hell with. (I'll talk more about it when I feel like it.) So I just kind of ate a bunch of junk food (candy!!) all day and polished it all off with some wine coolers while watching Hedwig. I'm okay now...I just still feel like a goddamned fool.

Getting sick of being kicked off after 5 or 10 or 20 or 60 minutes. I tried running Norton AntiVirus to see if it would help. It fixed at least 70 problems we had on the computer, which sounds good and all, but did it REALLY get everything? *crosses fingers* I just don't want to have to lug the damn computer to RTL to get it serviced. And frankly, I'm not too pleased with this new Internet service provider we have. It's not very reliable in connecting me online, but Hunter seems to have no problem with it. It sucks serious sour froggy balls.

I am boycotting M&Ms until they bring the good ol' multicolored ones back. This black and white deal is bullshit. And M&M/Mars won't even explain it for now. Whatever.

Work went okay. Getting sick and tired of all of the people bringing stuff in without receipts and expecting money back. But what can you do? It will taper off by the end of January, though. After work, I had to run up to the Range and pick up my dress from Zero. (Thanks!) Then I quickly stopped by Target to see if they had anything on sale worth picking up. They did indeed--I picked up the new Offspring CD. (Hooray!) But it looks like Mom and Gramma beat me to Target. They picked up this huge plastic container for the Christmas tree, and when I got home Hunter tells me, "Get in the plastic container. I want to burp you like Tupperwear." So I get in it (yes, I can actually fit inside the thing!) and he spins me around and around till I get dizzy. So now I know how a leftover feels in the microwave.

I am a loser. I have no plans for New Year's Eve, other than sitting in my room, watching lots of DVDs and doing the girly pampering thing in fancy lingerie and drinking LOTS of wine and eating LOTS of chocolate. Justice never got back to me if she was having a New Year's party this year or not. (Normally she would.) I should email her and ask. If anyone's up to doing anything tomorrow, email me or call. I feel like such a loser.
