angry letters

This is merely an intro because I'm now no way near as articulate with my complaints as I was earlier in my mind at work:

I'd like to begin by addressing the following Wal*Mart customers:

Beehive Bitch, the 50's called. They want their 6 foot high mass of teased hairspray-ridden hair back.

Jabba the Hut, please lose 300 lbs so you can walk on your own and the elderly (for whom the electric carts were originally intended, I'm sure) can have the motorized carts for their use.

[slow] Checkwriters, bring your own damn pen and please begin preparing your check as I scan your items so it's ready when it's time to pay.

Wishy-washy indecisive morons, if you have items you don't intend to purchase, please put them back before checkout. If you don't want that shit, what makes you think I do? I don't have room in my dinky-ass little register area to set that crap.

to be continued...

:-)

yes, I remembered

special posthumous birthday wishes:

Mammaw, 26 July
Pappaw, 29 July

how could I forget?
I still miss you guys

money talks

I took a guilt beating yesterday when I went to my mom's. She really knows how to make me feel like crap about my life. She was right about one thing, though. I was almost too late to register for any useful classes. I scheduled today, it'll be ok... I think. I believe they're all writing intensive classes so I'm in for a busy quarter. Oh well, at least that's taken care of, one less worry. And I talked to Brad last night about how I was feeling. He was a friend to me and made me feel better. I knew he would. One reason why I'm so glad I have him to come home to after unpleasant things like that. He was a lover as well. Fuck the naysayers. He really is just what I need.
-------------------------------------
Me: I just finished scheduling. I have all late afternoon, evening classes on Tuesday and Thursday. among them, Anthropology, Research Writing and Regional studies so I'm excited. Tuition is due August 17th. I added student health insurance so it's altogether about $2300. I'm still gonna try the fafsa. at the very least, I can reimburse you. Peace x.
Mom : hello
Me: you invisible
Me: ?
Mom : didn't mean to be
Mom : ok when can I come up and pay it
Me: I looked at my schedule for this coming week, but I don't remember my days off
Mom : well that was great
Mom : lol
Mom : let me know
Mom : I have Mon Tues and Wed off
Me: I have one or two of those off, I just don't remember which ones
Mom : I would like to do it next week
Me: ok
Me: I'm still gonna call the irs and try to finish my fafsa
Mom : k
Me: if it works, I should get your payment refunded and then I can give you back the money
Mom : whatever works for u
Mom : well I need to go to bed I have to work tomorrow
Mom : going to the fair tomorrow evening too
Mom : hey I'll catch ya later
Mom : ta ta
Me: ok
Me: night
Mom : nite
Mom 's status is now "nite nite". (7/28/2005 10:56 PM)
----------------------------------------------------------
I really don't want to take (or need in the first place, for that matter) my mom's money anymore. Is she maybe starting to get that? Does she realize I'm onto her and I don't wanna play the game anymore? As long as she's providing substantial financial assistance for anything, including school, it feels like she owns me and I am somehow under her control [to an extent]. I want this to stop. I want to stand on my own two feet. I want to stand up... to her. I'm almost 24 years old, I should be able to stand on my own.

-With Brad too, of course. At least he stills believes in me and doesn't bring me down. He stands by me :-)

penny for your thoughts

Cleo is doing this new weird thing. She used to play fetch with a toy she had but she hasn't done anything like that in a long time. Brad throws pennies in the kitchen to distract her when she's getting into stuff. Now she's bringing the pennies back in the living room in her mouth. She'll drop one in front of Brad and meow. He'll throw the penny and she'll go after it. When she finds it, she picks it up with her paws and puts it in her mouth. She'll come back in the living room and do it all over again. Weird.

Now I'm distracted... TV and writing don't mix...

'night x

P.S.: Bob and his big dick need to get off my TV.

epic

I wish to write an epic saga. Perhaps this will become the seed of my first novel. I started a story a little while back about a vampire hunter called Zero. Maybe I'll use that character in this story, I dunno. I'd like to do something in the tradition of the epic journey / unlikely hero stories. I jotted down some quick notes about my direction while at work today.

I'd like to start with one or two main characters and then develop a sort of a collection of characters as the story goes on. Their objective will to be to go somewhere, to stop something or to find something - haven't decided which, maybe both - and it will all probably take place in a world which I create. Toward the end, they will arrive at the gates of something awful and very nearly fail - maybe they will fail - to save the world or save their people or whatever it is I'll have them do. Anyways, this is all merely a skeletal structure. Now, I just need to find the time and energy (and not be distracted) so I can write this masterpiece.

...

At least I have the skeletal structure.

Y?

stuff & things

There are actually things to write about and maybe even stories to tell - like that Brad's brother (with kids and girlfriend in tow) visited and we went to Kings Island and I got sunburned and I worked over 10 hours today - and stuff, but I'm too tired... and, ok, too lazy to write about all that stuff now so... monkeys.

yeah. monkeys x

so long Jibbi, long live Griggling!

During my lengthy absence from the internet, my Rogue Nation of Jibbi on NationStates.net ceased to exist. I was greatly saddened... especially since I discovered not only could I not resurrect its greatness but I couldn't reuse its name. Every name I thought of for a new nation was rejected as they were names of current or former nations. At a loss for an original title, I picked up a random book: Brian Froud's Good Faeries / Bad Faeries. I found an interesting word in there. "Grig" was taken but "Griggling" (referring to the griggling apples of the faery harvest) was accepted. You can view the Confederacy of Griggling here.

Peace x

no rugosus

Following further research, I made the discovery that the two new hermit crabs were misidentified. They're not ruggies, they're indos. So, here's the official list:

the Ecuadorians: Strong Bad, The Cheat, Smoky, Hoss, Monkey, Ace, Ed, Brak, Weebl, Domino, Strutter, Deuce, Ziggy, Jibbi and Creature.

the Caribbeans: Chief, Thor and Dynasty.

and last but certainly not least, the Indos: Destroyer [III, the tribute to the tribute] and Loki

Et Voila! and there you have it. Bob's your uncle!

and a bit of how's your father as well x

gone all crabby

After finally getting my check/getting it cashed (kind of a long story) I decided to buy Brad a present... make that a couple of presents. He was with me so he was the one that actually went in the shop and got them. Lemme back up a bit, I'm talking nonsense.

Y'see, he had visited the petshop previous to that in order to purchase yet another small hermit crab. While selecting his pet he noticed they had gotten in two big light purple crabs, a type of crab known affectionately to crab enthusiasts as "ruggies." He was sorry he didn't have the money to get a purple crab and I really wanted to see one. I've been wanting for us to be able to get more colorful crabs in that tank. Soooo, we went to the Smithville Jack's this morning and completed our collection of crustaceans. We've finally met the agreed twenty crab limit. After all the various additions and losses, we finally got the full twenty. We each named them as they joined our little family/menagerie. See if you can tell who named which: (hint: remember, Brad's a huge KISS fan)

Strong Bad, the Cheat, Destroyer (III, the tribute to the tribute), Deuce, Strutter, Weebl, Monkey, Chief, Hoss, Smoky, Ed, Dynasty, Brak, Thor, Ace, Jibbi, Creature, Ziggy, Domino, Loki

Hmmm, guess we didn't get equal naming rights after all... of course, two or three of the "originals" I named died and have since been replaced. Strong Bad, The Cheat, Weebl, Brak, Thor, Jibbi, Ziggy and Loki are considered "mine." Brad counts Monkey as one I named cos he named it in my honor. Well... then again, technically, I kinda named Destroyer III. Actually, I named Destroyer II (who recently kicked the bucket) when we replaced the fallen original. So, errm, we're even I guess.

In the words of Brad's friend Mark: "sounds like a league of heroes."

15 Ecuadorians
3 Caribbeans
2 Ruggies

A league of heroes indeed x

buck fush

addiction

Sorry I haven't written lately. Nothin happenin I really wanna write about at the mo'. I do have a new addiction or two. These games I've been playin on Yahoo! I found the full versions (for free) and downloaded them off LimeWire. So, by what names are these glorious distractions known? Zuma and Insaniquarium.

You can play them online from Yahoo! Games by clicking the links above or get LimeWire and use that to find and download the full versions for free!

'night chums x

curl up with the cat

What a day. I had such a shit day at work. Everybody was bitchy, they were short help (as per usual) and I hurt my finger. The tip might be broken. Case of oil and scanner machine meet with my right middle finger in between them. Fun times. I bought a package of splints. Wearing one now. Oh yeah, and my supervisor disappeared for about a week. Apparently he's never coming back. They've got a guy coming in that apparently managed the front end before. They say he's a good guy so, I hope he's not a bastard and is as cool to me as Terry was.

The Shell station where Brad works was the scene of a crime tonight. Carjacking. He called from a pay phone while the police had the store shut down and told me all about what happened. I guess he didn't actually see what happened, just heard the gunshots and shit and then the guy whose car got jacked came in all panicked and he called the police for him. I guess once the po po was on the scene they put all the pieces together. It was an elaborate plan with, like, a diversion and everything. Carjacker got away with dude's Caravan.

So glad that place is bulletproof. I worry about him working down there. He came so close to being killed the night that guy went in there and put a fucking gun in his face. If it weren't for that burly dude he said is a regular that comes in almost every night, he'd probably be dead. I could have lost the love of my life and I probably wouldn't have known till the next day when the realization hit he hadn't come home. I don't even wanna think about it. He doesn't get paid enough to deal with that shit. At least his boss ordered him to lock the door as soon as he gets there from now on. I feel a lot better knowing my baby's gonna be protected behind bulletproof glass almost the whole time he's in that crime pit. *sigh* What a night as well. Indeed, for both of us.

fuck that shit. I'ma curl up with the cat now.
Bed time, bitches x

the way we were

^ my 23rd birthday, a favorite memory :-)

This is probably the only photo of me with all my friends and a record of the last really good wild time that I had with them. Now, I've cleaned up my drinking (partly due to being too broke to buy alcohol) and all but one of my friends have moved away. I often look at this picture and remember when.

spare some change?

Cleo and I 1 year ago. Today is the 1st anniversary of the day I brought the Cleo home to live with me. Funny, she's not much bigger now than she was then. 

just like starting over

A newish life, a new blog... Memories start to flood back when I think about my old diaries. Goin back through the old entries, smiling at some, cringing at others. I've grown up a lot through all of it.

This year is a terrific departure from last year at this time. It seems I always pick these things up somewhere in July - the diaries, that is. Granted, some things were better then... or at least it seems that way. But I feel on track now, like I'm an adult and I'm finally getting things right. I've got a steady job, just got a raise. I just renewed my lease. I've got love and the Cleo. We're still strugglin and I'm trying to figure out how school's gonna happen this fall but, I'm workin on shit. We've gotten through a lot together. We'll get through a lot more, I'm sure.

I still get scared sometimes... and sometimes I wanna leap over the register and kill the customers at Wal*Mart but, I wouldn't trade this life. I've got almost everything I ever really wanted. A rich and happy life... I'm just not rich in the way that one needs to be if one wants to survive in America. But a rich life I have in the most important ways.
Awwww.

See ya next entry. Same blog time, same blog spot. or some shit like that.
Peace x

welcome to my humble abode

Welcome to the new home of my shared life and times. My gold membership at Diaryland ran out and I decided to just not go back there. They're standard templates suck ass so, I decided to go elsewhere and broaden my horizons a little bit.
I guess a good way to start would be to post a proper entry for once, but I figure why change my typical behavior just for a new diary? Lazy lazy lazy x
