hollybrooke: (Eat your strudel and STFU)
So the other day, I was washing dishes, and I was washing a coffee cup that had a sizeable chip in the rim. And while washing that one, it got in between my right pinky and ring finger and cut it. It wasn't a huge cut and it didn't bleed much, but I can definitely feel it. Currently, my right hand is feeling suspiciously sore. Hopefully it's from me being on the computer too much or from being so busy on the registers at work, and NOT from potential nerve damage from that dumb accident.

And you know what really ticks me off about it? If that damn coffee cup had a chip in it, why the hell didn't Dad just...I don't know, THROW IT AWAY?!!!! I swear, he has a serious problem when it comes to throwing stuff away or getting rid of stuff that we don't need. I came home today from work, and that kitchen was a flat-out pigsty. And he was laying on the couch in his underwear, watching the Encore Western channel. Guess who had to clean up the mess he made because he didn't feel like doing it?

The kitchen is a pigsty, the bathroom is always grubby, the basement keeps getting stuff stacked up in it, the living room just has junk strewn about, and no matter how hard I try to keep things clean and tidy....*bites knuckle*.........can't have nice things!

Then the kicker. He's all, "I'm going to Dairy Queen to get something for your mom. Do you want anything?" I'm not hungry (and I'm trying to lose weight), so I told him no. He comes back with something for me anyway: one of those waffle-cone sundaes. I told him thank you, but I wasn't hungry. He's all, "Well, go ahead and have it anyway!" I told him, "Well, I'll put it in the fridge for later then." He's all, "Well, if you put it in the fridge, it won't be as good later." I told him that was fine with me because I wasn't all that hungry anyway. Then he gets kind of shitty with me and tells me, "Holly, just EAT IT."

I haaaaaaaaate when he pulls shit like this. He practically FORCE-FEEDS ME. God, does he WANT me to STAY FAT?! I didn't even ask for one! He could've saved money by not getting me one as per my request and NOT have had this problem! What is WRONG with him?!

Oh, I can't wait till I move out.

Great. I just got an email from Brandon in which he says he's basically had a crush on me forever.

I don't know how to take this. Here's the thing. I have not seen him in ages (maybe two years), and the only time we get to come close to "hanging out" is online (through Yahoo Messenger or MySpace). I've known Brandon for as long as I've known Dan. I know him through Dan. And I also know that Brandon has had his share of women problems for quite a while. I know he went through hell with Monica, but I'd be more inclined to give it a go with him if he had his ducks all in a row. I know, I'm one to talk, I'm practically broke. So is he. Two wrongs don't exactly make a right. And I hate to sound like I'm being materialistic and shallow, but I went through all of that crap with Dan. Dan was pretty selfish and cheap when it came to me. I want to be with a guy who is doing well for himself and who I know will be far from the nest. Yeah, I know, like I said, I'm one to talk. I'm still at home with my own parents, but believe me, if I weren't practically poor right now and didn't have Mom to worry about...Point is, I''m trying to rectify that situation first before getting involved with another guy. I'm ready for a grown-up relationship, thankyouverymuch.

And even if that weren't the case...I'm just not interested in Brandon like that. You can hold so many interests in common, but sometimes you just can't strike a connection. Having a crush on someone based on that sort of thing doesn't mean it's going to work. I've given up on having crushes. Having a crush just builds your hopes up so high for them to come crashing down when they don't follow through. And crushes just leads to stupid obsessions that make you seem so foolish in hindsight.

*sigh* So many guys, so little time. And yet, I'd still just rather be alone right now. I'm waiting for The One to make his presence known, the one who will make me weak in the knees, as if I could feel his mojo from miles away. Every guy I've been with...I've never been able to make it click with. I just haven't.

....But what I was told this weekend by Kevin was pretty interesting...and it just made me think. I sincerely don't want Kevin's girlfriend to see me as a threat.

sexy legs!

I've never really noticed it before, but I think I did Sunday night at the PPV.

There was a guy--a somewhat attractive guy, maybe a year or two younger than me--there who was wearing a regular tuxedo/dress jacket with a nice shirt and tie on underneath...along with a KILT. He was tall, to boot, and it just showed off his legs.

I could not take my eyes off of him. I wasn't staring at his face or his kilt (well, sort of at the kilt), but those legs. Mmm-mmm! Dan started to make a crack about the kilt, but I told Wussy Dan to "shush!" (I was too busy looking; he was breaking my concentration.)

And I have discovered...I can appreciate a guy who has nice legs. I can appreciate a guy who has the courage to wear a kilt. And even when it comes to something like Rocky Horror, I can appreciate a guy who wears fishnet stockings to show those legs off. Is this weird?

Oh well, I guess I'm just weird. I'm not going to ask a guy for a weird request like that. I don't have a fishnet fetish or anything. (The fishnets just kind of accentuate it.) I just like tall guys with nice legs. (Not feminine-looking legs...just well-toned manly legs.)

I normally have a general rule regarding guys: I don't do the "friends with benefits" thing. But let me tell you something...holding out until I get a steady boyfriend until the next time I get any is pretty damn frustrating. I'm thinking of revoking my "no friends with benefits" rule.

However, if I do so and decide to get down with any random guy friend (and I really don't want to be considered a whore), I have the problem of deeper emotions being aroused. Like, what if I feel nothing after it but HE does? Or vice versa? How do you deal with that?

Eh, I've gotten a little more proactive about men this year so far, actually. I just get really frustrated when people like Mike ask "How's the love life?" It's just really frustrating. I don't know if he asks just to get a response to tattle back to Dan or whatever. Next time, I should just fuckin' exaggerate. *ha ha*

I confused Elyse on Friday night. *ha ha* "I have a boyfriend?! That's news to me! Who?!" (acts like a dumb blonde) I say, if it's that obvious.....erm, I don't know what to think.

I put a little bit of a dent in The Two Towers. It wasn't much. Hunter and I tried staying up all night to watch both that and Fellowship of the Ring, but we got sleepy and fell asleep instead.

I have all of tomorrow off. I can get some major cleaning done tomorrow before Rocky. Lori said she might come with, but if she doesn't want to, it's okay. It's not exactly her thing, but I told her I started showing up more frequently after Dan and I broke up. (I needed a social life, dammit.) It might help her get over it a little more to compare what an asshole Brad Majors and Mark are. And she needs to pelt someone with rice. Trust me.

Ha ha ha...

This made me laugh my ass off, and it also made me a little upset to think that this is how most men see us women. I guess it's a give-and-take relationship we have with each other.

Yes, I will admit, I could use improving. But last night I was kind of nervous that I was going to majorly screw something up. Plus, the only really bad thing about last night: my shoes. Yep, I managed to get a blister on the back on my right heel. Arrrgh. But I need to work on my floorshow costume (get an actual corset and put sequins on it, and I need to buy one of the gloves). I wish I could have actually had more time to practice it all out on the stage, but I was kind of winging it. So was Wally (it had been a while since he had played Brad, but he helped me out very well), and it was Cecilia's first night as Frank. (I think she did very well. *ha* It is only here where I will ever have a woman on top of me in a bedroom scene. *ha ha!*) The only thing that really pissed me off about last night was that none of my other friends showed up. I sent out that mass email and no one showed up. Yep...I have no friends. *frowny face*

*sigh* Oh well. Sometime this week, Zero said something about seeing Pirates of the Carribbean. I'll have to take him up on it. At least HE cares.

(I could also go more into detail about something else that happened, but I won't. You know how I don't want to talk about that sort of thing on here.)

I asked Alannah from the ATNW boards to make a new layout for me. I hope it turns out.

I have my orientation at Bath and Body Works at 2 p.m. today, then after that I'm meeting up with Dan and Kevin and Amanda at BW3s for the Survivor Series. I don't even know why I go anymore. I haven't been keeping up with wrestling like I used to, mainly because it's gotten too over-the-top with the storylines. I extended the invite to Fester if he wanted to show up, and if he does, he does. He hasn't been watching lately either, basically for the same reasons I haven't been watching. Hell, even Hunter hasn't been watching either.

That's all for now. More later on how the orientation went.
