but for some reason, once they've gone outside, i won't touch them. this may or may not have something to do with my grandmother drilling into me the importance of avoiding poison oak like the plague.
however.... my boss is wanting to get a new puppy, and while wandering around the petfinder.com site, i ended up looking at baby kitties. fuckin adorable... i vaguely want to eat them.
i belive that when i grow up (yes, i still say that, even though i think i qualify as an adult), i shall have a cat and a dog. and they'll only be going outside once i've made sure there's no poison oak in the yard.
hope my future husband can handle cleaning up animal puke... or maybe i'll be so incredibly rich that i can hire a person specially assigned to clean up after my animals. mwahahahha
yeah.... rich isn't going to happen. there's no money in low-level government work. motherfucker
speaking of work... guess who's still in her uniform pants? uhh... yeah, that'd be me. mmm, cozy polyester cop pants. yuck. and i'm not even a cop! how'd this suck deal happen, huh? i work until all hours of the morning, play bitch to the cops here in Suckland, and i don't even get to call myself Officer. actually.... when dealing with small children, i usually do.
had a kid once that called me "Miss Policeman". haha! i nearly laughed in his wee shining face. imagine how much he'd hate cops when he grew up. oh man.... shoulda done it.
i'm supposed to be going to Eugene tomorrow. i'd planned on leaving at noon. which is in 7.5 hours. that's gonna suck. wish i was tired. i guess this is what i get for eating Hostess deliciousness and Reese's happiness at 0330. whatever. it's worth it.... for now :)
i really tried to keep on one topic here for this post, but i'm beginning to suspect that for me, that's quite impossible. oh well. not like anybody actually reads this thing, so who cares!!
i win.
that is all.
oh- and when i went into my friend's room to feed her fish a few minutes ago, the damn thing was dead. NOW what do i do??

what is this "heat" you speak of?
it's true. about a week and a half ago, they shut my heat off. well, heat to the entire building.... but since i'm the only person living in this fucking jail of a place, i think of it as my heat. my bathroom. my curtainless public shower. my doors with the plugs in the locks. it's all mine, dammit!
anywho, i heard a couple of people talking outside my door this morning (~11 am), and they kept saying my name.... it kind of annoyed/intrigued me, so i stepped out into the hall and greeted them as best i can at that early hour. i think it went something along the lines of "uhh.... hey, i'm still here.... whazzz shakin?" ingelligent, yes? witty? ok, for fuck's sake, i work graveyard... 11 am to me is like 3 am for most normal 9-to-5 folks.
it turned out to be Thomas the maintenance man and Pete the janitoral dude. they couldn't believe anybody would stay in this dorm over the break, and when i told them that Housing had run out of space heaters, i think they dubbed me "Yukon Woman" in their minds. after discussions of staying alive in sub-freezing weather took place, i went back to bed.
not two hours later, somebody's knocking on my door. i believe a "WhaYeahhh??" was my ever-so-clever response this time. I did NOT expect to hear a man call out in falsetto "Your friendly neighbourhood heating lady!" through my door..... surprise, surprise!! it was Thomas the maintenance man! and he had brought me a space heater from the maintenance supplies.
Thomas, you are my hero. even if you scared the shit outta me early in the morning with your fake-woman rapisty voice.
yeah. that was the highlight of my day.
oh! and i told a knock-knock joke at work.... it went something like this:
Me: "knock knock!"
Joe: "who's there?"
Me: "interrupting cow!"
Joe: "interrupting.... cow... who?"
-pause-
Me: "Dammit! I fuck that one up every time!"

grades!! oh noes
i was right. The Criminology teacher gave me a C+ (and i think she hates me for emailing her as much as i did). Film prof stuck to his word and gave me that B- (------). And the surprise of the day....
A B+ in Spanish! woohoo for the developmentally delayed student! :p
i will never take a class from that man again. and i think this was his way of saying "thank you and good bye".
whatever. i tried my damndest this term, and so there.
and tomorrow i goes to see the Sam man! Portland, here i come! but first, to figure out the local bus schedule..... oh boy

fruit snack literature
i just got back from Albertson's, and was digging into my first of four boxes of fruit snacks when....
"Albertson's DINOSAURS fruit snacks
Are you brave enough to dig into this box of Alberson's Dinosaurs? A world of prehistoric fruitiness lurks within. The mighty Triceratops, the terrible Tyrannosaurus, the armored Stegosaurus and the gigantic Apatosaurus await the gruesome challenge: Will you eat them, or will they eat you?"
no, i definitely just ate them. unless the really vicious ones are waiting in the corner pack.
oh! heavens, i nearly forgot the other package.
"Albertson's Creepies fruit snacks
Do you have the guts to put your hand into this box of creepy crawly rodents, reptiles, snakes & spiders? Your reward will be a world of slithering fruitiness. The razor-fanged rat, poison-spitting cobra, and the man-eating iguana await the gruesome challenge: Will you eat them, or will they eat you?"
i'm so glad nobody read me the side of these packages..... i'm not sure if i would've been scared shitless that the food would actually eat me, or if i would've laughed maniacally and eaten the entire box.
Albertson's. they're crazy.
At least the Snoopy and Curious George boxes don't have scary words. If they'd ruined Curious George for me, that would've equalled some serious therapy time.

i suck at owning a fridge
it's true. i put thing into it, and either forget about them entirely, or expect the food to be fine a week later.
and with a homemade pumpkin pie, this is not a possibility. eeeewwwww
same thing for Toby's Tofu Paté. gag! (not the product itself, but the interesting colours that had grown up while i was gone this weekend)
wonder what else is in there that should be put out of its misery... probably the apple juice. actually, it's probably good for another week.
(and that is the line of thinking that resulted in a tye-dye paste that once contained my favourite bagel spread)
alrighty, i'ma go to sleep now...
OH! get this- i had calculated my crim grade from the online gradebook thingie that we use for classes.... yeah, i was seeing an 80% (=B-) when i did the math, but somehow, she added 5 points onto the overall potential score, and that knocked me down to a C+. NOOOOOOO
if this woman wasn't one of the nicest people i know, i'd be inclined to say mean things about her.....
grrrr
oh well. yeah, sleep. because when i wake up, it'll only be 4 days until i see Sam again! hehe

post-final thoughts
HELLS YEAH, BITCHES!!! I'M DONE (for the time being)
oh yeah... this is a nice feeling.
and to my right.... a slice of cheese pizza. hells yeah
anywho, here's what i'm thinking:
Crim- it was a battle. i think i might've made my teacher bend over more than she wanted to, but at the end of the day (aka now), i'm (probably) going to get a B/B-. which is fine in my book.
Film- again, made the teacher bend over for me. eventually, i got him to give me ONE MORE attendance point, which put me up to a "B--------" (direct quote from his email.... give or take a minus sign)
Spanish- this is the class taught by the man who thinks i'm mentally delayed. THAT was fun to deal with.... anywho, between the presentation i gave in class (83%), two papers (97.5 and 85 <-- i don't wanna talk about the second one), the midterm (don't remember the score), and the final (which i took today).... i think i should be ok. this will be the grade to watch....
yikes.
but it's all over...... hahaha, i'm going to go run in the hall and giggle.

one final down...
took my crim final today.... i think it actually went quite well. i remembered all the steps for processing a death scene, and ended my version with a blood-covered ex-boyfriend (not mine... the victim's) muttering in Latin.
if you had taken the test, that would make sense.
and i have a final in 8 hours... and one right after that... bleh

about that last post...
it was a bad day.
and frankly, this is my blog. i get to complain. therefore... a big "HA!" to my AC :)
to see what i've been up to work-wise... here
what else... fun visit to the piercing store today. i got new rings for my cartilege piercings!! nobody but myself can tell, but it's neat :-D
it's been really cold here... right now (at 0545, mind you) it's 30 degrees Farenheit and dry as a bone. even the rain feels dry. when it rains, that is.
and lemme tell ya, my skin loves the dry. it thinks it's a competition, and tries to match the dryness. especially on the back of my hands.
at least i'm not back home working in the chocolate shop. we washed our hands so often that the backs of my hands would dry to the point of cracking and bleeding. this does not = teh s3x.
neither does my over-filled laundry basket. haha, i typed "baskey" originally. yeah, laundry needs to be done. and a room clean. and maybe a once-over with a vacuum on the lovely mass-produced rug, if i'm feeling saucy.
random fun occurence of the day: i found my grandfather's immigration records online!! and his parents', and a person who i think is his uncle. it was pretty exciting. the family came to San Francisco when my grandfather, Edwin, was 17. shortly after arriving, it was decided that the last name should be "Americanized", and they dropped the "ovsky"... yeah, i'm a quarter white Russian.
can you imagine what it must've been like being Russian in the USA during the Cold War? no wonder nobody talked about the Russian side of the family. my mother told me once that Edwin (who, btw, was her father) would speak to his family in Russian or Mandarin (they lived in Shanghai after the Revolution of 1917), but he never taught my mother Russian, or anything about judaism. another part of his life that probably didn't make him too popular back in the day.
i may continue to research his life. Edwin died before i was born, but at least there's records of his immigration- my father's family's records burned in the San Francisco fire.
and i don't think they had Xerox machines back then... :p

random complainings until i get tired (or run out)
- i hit my head tonight.... hard enough, apparently, to make me see "snow". i'm fairly certain that the snow actually is there, but supporting evidence is lacking.
- i always manage to lose my left legwarmer in the night. i'll wake up three hours after i went to sleep, and my left foot/ankle will be significantly colder than my right.
- it snowed really hard today, and half the kids in spanish class were all panicking.... folks around here definitely do NOT know how to drive in any sort of weather.... or at all, truth be told. anywho, our spanish teacher put it up to a vote, and 10 of 14 people voted to cancel the rest of class. this made the professor kinda pissy. i wanted to slap him.
- gringos with castillian accents in general anger me.
- burnt my tongue last night on a microwaved mini-pizza. hurt like a bitch, but i decided against screaming at 4 am
- my face is sunburnt from the lovely weather we've had lately. and it burned in such a way that i look like i have can-can dancer make-up on. no good.
- i'm still seeing "snow".... and i've been nauseated all evening.
- i hate the smell of fish... so doesn't it just figure that after i bang my head and get pukey feeling, some lady over-microwaves a hunk of fish, and makes an entire building on campus REEK of EVIL!! i seriously gagged when i got onto the floor of the microwave incident.
- people are beginning to irritate me in general. when are they going to realise that i'm not narcissitic, but that they're denying the truth: that i'm teh s3x? hmmm?
- still haven't gotten my sleep med refill in the mail.
- haven't slept in days... probably 5 days, if my math is right. (ACTUALLY slept.... what i do now is pass out for two hours, then wake up every twenty minutes until i get sick of the dance)
- the heat only comes on in my room from 5 am until 7 am. and it barely warms the metal register. still wondering about those legwarmers?
- i hate puking. who doesn't?
- school should've been cancelled today...
- there's going to be a shit ton of ice everywhere on campus tomorrow (aka, in a few hours)
- the computer screen is making me sick
- that highlighter is making me sick
- my headache is making me cranky
- and if you're still reading this.... i applaude your boredom.

funny story...
this evening, i was talking with my friend Meagan, and we were kinda hyped up from stress. you ever get that way? when you're so stressed out that you kind of snap and get crazy like you've had too much sugar/caffeine? yeah, we were like that.
anywho, she randomly grabbed a bra off the floor, and put it on her face, and yelled "look! i'm a bug!"
not to be outdone, i ran out of the room, and dug around the mess on my floor until i found my hip brace. ditching my sweater and t-shirt, i put the brace on like a bra. for reference, here's what it looks like:
and yes, that's the side i had cinched up in front.
anywho, i zipped my sweater back on, and ran back into Meagan's room, and flashed her my new nunga-controller.
she nearly died laughing. the only thing i could make out was "holy shit.... -wheeze-.... it looks like a butterfly..." victory was mine.
it was at this point that i remembered that Rebecca, a girl down the hall, was still awake. not wanting to leave her out of the fun, i headed towards her room, and Meagan followed to watch the reaction.
i stepped into her doorway, and said, "Look! I'm a beautiful HOLY SHIT JOHN IS IN HERE"
yes, our friend from downstairs, John, happened to be studying with Rebecca when i revealed my latest fashion statement. as soon as i registered that John was in her room, i pivoted on my heel, grabbed the doorframe, and projected myself down the hall.
when i reached Meagan's room, i turned around to see her collapsed on the floor in hysterics.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and that is my story.
i hope it made you laugh.... because the rest of us were fairly entertained.

recipe for (temporary) happiness
take a plastic baggie full of M&M's.
drop in a large spoonful of peanut butter.
seal the baggie, and squish the peanut butter around all over the M&M's.
open baggie, and enjoy the goodness within!
(i'd recommend just squeezing the mix out of the bag, but if you prefer to use a spoon, that's fine)

i definitely wasn't ready to sit through a 2-hour lecture on death investigations today.
and the talking about cops, and the guns, and the knives...
it's amazing how everything seems to remind me of Ryan today.
i can't believe he's gone.

goodbye, Ryan
a friend of mine from high school is gone. i'd give a link to the newspaper story, but i hate how it portrays him.
i can't believe that i'll never see him again. it's bizarre. he's not the first person i've known who's died, but every time it's almost like it's never happened before.
i only hope that the cops who shot him felt that they had every reason to. i have to believe this, otherwise i.... i don't know.
this is so surreal. i had a crush on Ryan for a couple of years there in school, and all i can think of is this one time that we talked about a pair of bowling shoes he jacked from a local bowling alley. i remember thinking that was the coolest thing ever.
goodbye, Ryan. i'll miss you

natural sleep? whaaa??
yeah, i've been trying to sleep without meds. i'm trying to decide if it's me actually thinking "yeah! sleep! i can do this, no problem!"..... or if i'm just saying that because i ran out of anything drowsy-inducing a few days back :p
either way, the pattern is that i fall asleep, wake up 2 hours later, then every hour after that.
but it's sleep, right? right???
in other news.... i actually did my homework last night. it was impressive. 3 hours of writing about child abuse. the research was disturbing. if i ever read "fondling buttocks" in regards to a child ever again, i'll throw up.
uhh.... uhh..... yeah, that's it. i'm going to go grade somebody's paper. for fun. how lame am i?

i went to the health center on friday to talk to a nurse practicioner about this bronchitis business.... a little bit of back-story to my history with bronchitis: it's what happens every single fucking time i get sick at all. i know how to deal with it.
anywho, the NP decided she knew better than me and gave me an inhaler/cough syrup combo. NO! give me my fucking antibiotics! keep your damn narc syrup, i wanna be done coughing! grrrr.... i'll be back there in the next few days, and Janet will not get the pleasure of seeing my coughing face in her office. mwahahaha, take THAT Janet! ooooh, i bet you're crying
i need to sleep. and Janet needs to learn to fucking listen to the patient.

i need to stop eating now.
seriously, it's ridiculous. i originally wanted ONE wheat thin, but when i couldn't find the box, a trip to the vending machine was made. i didn't think anything would come of it, since my card has been rejected on and off all weekend, but lo and behold, it registered!!!
so i bought a Snickers, a Take-5!, a Butterfinger Crunch, a 3 Musketeers, and a small bag of Dorito's.
all that's left.... would be most of the Dorito's.
this is hilarious in a seriously disturbing way.
i think the combo of night meds have me feeling hungry but not actually needing to eat... this is bizarre. and hopefully not a recurring thing, because otherwise i'ma get my pudge on, and Rocky Horror will be... horrific :p
mmm.... nacho cheese powder.... i need water. oh darn, all i have in the room is a fridge full of Coke :p
this really is kind of foul, though. i just consumed roughly twice the number of calories that i ate in the entire rest of the day... in about 10 minutes. eeeeww
meh. it tasted good :)
oh! oh!! henceforth, let it be known that Nerd Boy (not being a big fan of his nickname) shall be called by his given name: Sam.
so you do your part to call him that, and i'll do mine :p
sleep might be good.... seeing as i have class in 5 hours. and a migraine. and migraine meds in my system, along with a good amount of pepto.
dear god, am i trying to kill myself?! sleep time, NOW

bleh. nap time. cheers!
bleh. nap time. cheers!
nice...
i woke up for my 8 am meds, and couldn't get the thought of a maple-frosted old fashioned doughnut out of my mind..... so i hiked my pajama-clad ass down to the food court, amidst the oldsters and sad people with early morning classes, and bought myself a delicious, delicious doughnut.
and i ate it. and it was incredible.
doughnuts really are better fresh :p
oh! my one class for the day was cancelled.... basically, i have nothing to do until work at 5. once again, i am my own hero.
did i mention that Mr. Nekkid Man came onto campus again yesterday? yeah. i laughed, because the PD got called out, and it was the one guy that i would've chosen just for the humour of the situation. it was excellent.... although i was told to wait in the car, given how creepy Mr. N-M was to me last time.
NO MORE MR. NEKKID MAN. i don't think i can handle laughing that hard again being sick like this

ah, sleep... what are you, again?
i tried to post around 4 am last night, but my computer decided it wanted to restart without telling me, and the entire post went bye-bye. oh well.
if i were to try and take a nap right now, i'd probably miss Film class, which would suck. Or i'd wake up in time, but this fucking migraine that i've been fighting the last few days would've returned with a vengeance. no good, that one
i stayed up last night writing a spanish paper, only to get to class this morning and discover it's not due until Thursday. motherfucker!! gah! so angry.... although it's done, and i can focus on writing that speech i have to give then.

-wash my dish. yes, i only own one dish, and it's dirty
-do some laundry... but before that, i have to
-put money on the laundry machine card. fuckin hate the cards....
-return "Thank You for Smoking" to DJ's. it was awesome, I highly recommend it
-find my belt. my pants are falling off... not so delicious
-call my sister, and see how she's doing
-possibly stop by the health center... i think whatever i had turned into bronchitis (joyous)
-return a movie to the library
-cure cancer
and all before 1400. great. here i go!
oops, almost forgot- i'm thinking about my next tattoo, and it's looking something like this:
it's my sister's first inital and mine. it'll most likely end up on the top of my right foot (no tattoos can be showing when i'm in uniform)... and i'm not sure if i like how the ends of the letters are widened... i might just make them a little thicker and round the tips.
it really doesn't matter if you know what i mean, because i do, and it's going on my person, anywho.
race against time starts..... now!
if i were to try and take a nap right now, i'd probably miss Film class, which would suck. Or i'd wake up in time, but this fucking migraine that i've been fighting the last few days would've returned with a vengeance. no good, that one

i don't feel like existing today
last night i worked the football game (which my school's team won, for once in their miserable existence), and it was fucking cold. standing out in the cold night in one spot and being hungry did wonders for my body.
i was almost done being sick.... and the nevermind, it's all back. with a vengeance. here's what the Sick has to say:
"haha, you dumb bitch. you think you could get rid of me that easily? well guess what? I'm back, and it's Sunday, and you've got shit to do, and I'm going to make you want to crawl up in bed and not move! so ha!"
yeah, it talks. and moves. from my sinuses to my chest to my throat to everywhere.
did i mention i have a test and discussion board post to do? the post is basically a short paper complete with APA citations and bullshit about some guy who did something way back when for forensic science.
at least nobody wrote about the guy i chose. his name is Luke May, and he was the guy who began striation analysis of knives, guns, and other tools. actually kind of interesting.
maybe if i take a shower, life will return for long enough to get this work cranked out. that, and my ever-present bottle of delicious Coke :)
cheers!

i'm sick.
and it's no fun.
thankfully, Nerd Boy was on hand with hugs aplenty. haha
i'm going to lay down. because as fun as sneezing/coughing/dying/etc. is, sleeping sounds like it might be fun too.
adios!

the perfect day (no really, it was)
today... ahh, it was good.
first, i showered, and the hot water was lovely.
then, i came out of the shower to find the boy i was going to have lunch with hanging outside my door. i had my RA/friend entertain him while i pulled on my brown corduroys and old grey Beatles t-shirt. rrrrrow, no?
when we left for lunch, i happened to check my mail box.... and guess whose older sister had sent her a package? me! and inside was a box with the cutest pair of earrings in the entire world. i heart you, Linds!
then lunch was awesome... although i don't think we ever actually ate. instead, we sat around talking for awhile, then went and rented/watched "Dirty Harry". haha! amazing.
and to top it all off? they were serving STUFFING in the dorm food hall! oh my heavens, carbohydratey goodness. it was incredible.
overall? i'd say this day was excellent. and now, i am going to go to sleep... and dream of stuffing saying " ' do i feel lucky today? well, do you, punk?' "

classes, life, etc.
classes are good, people are good, sleep is good.
it's good. it's all good.
ok, not really. but i can pretend, right?
funny story from work today (well, yesterday):
sitting in the office after a depressing meal of dormness, my supervisor got a call over the radio.
"College 96, just received a report of a nude male walking past -Building X- heading towards the middle of campus."
oh boy. yup. nekkid man walking around down by the student union building. when my super and i walked in to talk to him, as soon as we opened the door we were greeted with the sight of this 40-something hairy naked guy bending over reading a low-posted bulletin.
gahhh
then when the super addressed the man, he walked up to us and stood just a liiiiittle too close. the two clothed folk (one of which being myself) stepped back from the nudey dudey. it was weird.
i don't remember exactly what was said in the short conversation, but the guy kept looking at me really creepy. yuck.
about two minutes after he walked away, we heard a call come over the radio for a different PD unit... something about a "nude male causing a disturbance" just off campus...
:)
cheers!

insomnia, how i hate thee....
i'm morbidly tempted to get "insomniac" tattooed on my person somewhere... but ha ha, it's already permanently displayed under my eyes.
first day of classes... well, class. haha. yeah, i've got one class from 2 pm - 4 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays. Tuesdays and Thursdays, i have a 10 am - 12 pm class, and a 2 pm - 4 pm class. it's fairly joyous.
oh but wait- i work Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights now. 5 pm - 12 am on Monday and Tuesday, and 5 pm - 11 pm on Wednesday. actually, the "7-7-6" shift (in reference to the number of hours worked) might become a "6-7-7" or a "7-6-7", depending on what works best.
blah. gag. ok.

oh dear goodness NO!
people are returning to campus! it's horrific! i can't walk through the halls without needing to elbow my way through a clump of new students...
no worries, i'm being nice. they're NICE elbows :)
i've been sleeping a lot, which is odd. for example: i was awake for about 5 hours yesterday. woke up at around... noon? went back to sleep a couple hours later. up again at 8, back to sleep by 10. what is this? maybe my body is catching up on the past few years of not sleeping. woohoo!
i'ma lay back down... Kelli's dinner is in an hour, and i think i'd like to be coherent when that comes around. cheers!

huzzah!
life is looking up these days. not sure why, but right now, i'm in a pretty good mood. wait- could be better, just a second...
deodorant + hand lotion... yessir, things are looking up :) who knows, maybe a shower might even occur in the next twelve hours. or whenever i wake up. no rush
work's cranking up, which is lovely. apparently, my supervisors are impressed with my confrontation skills. they've seen how i shut down when i get angry, and when i kept my cool as a "drunk student" (who was really a supervisor acting belligerent and doing a disturbingly good job) harassed me. hooray for scenario training!
and when the real deal took place this saturday, and a kid tried to get into it with me by asking me "so, do you like your job?" in a fairly unfriendly tone, i went with "yeah, it pays my room, and they feed me." then he went back to giving my supervisor shit. it was lovely.
i do need to finish unpacking my clothes from the move (and i understand i'm not the only one relocating- congrats Madge!!)... and maybe doing some laundry... shit. i left my laundry soap back at the old house... along with my chair and various wall hangings... eh, good thing that Tim still is there. i'll get them here in the next day or two.
looking for a book to read, so if anybody's got a recommendation, lemme know! otherwise, i might have to start reading last year's surplus text books, god forbid! ok, i'd probably read the cover of every movie i own before going to text books... and i think the phone book ranks higher, as well.... :)
and i'm thinking this is goodnight for me. cheers!

i beta'd my blog!
so much purple on the side, but i'm strangely comfortable with it...
labels for this post, eh? well, we'll see what comes of this typing.
tonight is my last night in my house. tomorrow, the housing dept. is kicking my mick ass back into the dorms... noooo... i hate it there. it never actually feels like home, but rather just some place where i kick my shoes off and pass out.
which i should be doing now... i'm getting up in 4 hours to go to Kelli's apartment and provide moral support as the fridge repair man comes. yuck... her freezer was really weird. it had all this ice coming out, and the fridge part was icy... go figure.
work tomorrow should be fun, though... besides the whole "work" part :p i like talking with my supervisor, he's entertaining, and seems to understand my sometimes skewed way of thinking.
speaking of work... the Resident Assistants (RA's) had some training thing today that we were asked to be at, to mimic how we, as Campus Public Safety (CPS), would show up and handle various situations the RA's come across. talk about feeling useless!! CPS showed up at their fucking training, and didn't do jack shit. after about half an hour of standing around, my super called it for what it was (i believe the exact words were "fuckin' waste of my time..."), and took those of us who're new to CPS to a different part of the building to do our OWN training... which was quite handy.
ok, that's enough from me... lessee, what do i feel like labelling... woohoo! so many options. feedback on the new-ish colours would be lovely :)
Currently:
packing. nothing else.

it's gone! huzzah!
that's right, folks: Kyle's stuff is no longer sitting in my house! woohoo!!!
he left it here at the beginning of the summer, when we were still together... and it has been sitting in the spare room, serving as a constant reminder of how much shit i've sorted through this summer.
hooray for sorting through shit! haha... sort of.
other than that... nothing new. wait- there might be a new cell phone in my future, but i'm not sure... hopefully, hopefully...
that is all. cheers!
Madge- same address :)

as my travelling days end...
my moving days begin! that's right, ONCE AGAIN this little mick will be changing residences. no worries, my lovely stalkers, it's just right down the hill from the window through which you're watching me now :)
but yeah, moving.... i gotta pack my shit up and be down there by the end of the week... i might be able to get away with moving in next week, since i'll be working this weekend.... woohoo!! :p
i'm still liking work, actually. they have yet to see me at my most evil, but i think i'll fit right in :)
so many smiley faces! i should start using the pre-made ones, if any existed. lame! no smileys! i want those annoying little yellow faces with their creepy winking motions and everything! oh.... no i really don't.
i'm getting sleepy... ergo, i go. cheers!

and i'm off again!
i've been running I-5 ragged (for those of you who don't know, I-5 is the main highway up the west coast)... and tomorrow, i'll be doing just a bit more damage: it's back up to Eugene for this bug. thankfully, i'll be taking the greyhound this time, because i'm fucking tired of driving. tired in general, but especially of driving. i'll be sleeping on the greyhound, with any luck.
work is good. i've been working during the week recently, although i'll be switching back to weekends here in a bit.... and i've finally gotten on actively good terms with the weeknight supervisor. which is nice. especially since he's (most likely) going to be switching to working for the police here in town.
the dating world is sleeping for now. which is fine by me.... although school starts up here soon, so who knows.... ;)
alright, back to packing. cheers!

post-wedding analysis
yes, the wedding was incredible. the ceremony was short, Lindsay looked lovely, and the food was.... well, it was ok. nothing that was vegetarian looked too good, but they had these funny little hors d'ourves (i have no bloody idea how to spell that) which i enjoyed (tomato slice and mozzarella with pesto on top of a little pastry fluff).
oh! funny moment... the woman who was the caretaker of the Shogun (again, spelling might be off) House turned the power off for the band around 8.45 pm, saying something about the noise curfew and the neighbours not appreciating music until all hours of the night... little did she know that she had a handful of lawyers (most important of the bunch being the father of the bride!) and a judge in the crowd. i don't know what all went down, but the music was on about 15 minutes later. and we all had a good laugh about it... except Mr. Father-of-Bride, who was still angry.
but the wedding went down beautifully, and everybody shed a tear or two.
i was back in Ashland by 9 pm on Sunday, and working Monday.
special note for carolina girl (who i have the sneaking suspicion might be my Aunt from SC): my skirt looked awesome, as did my top. a few days before i went north, i got about 4 inches cut off my hair, so when i curled it for the wedding, it was curly. and to be sure, i was the only one at the wedding in Birkenstocks :)
Alright, time to start on my to-do list. i think i'll leave the Medford run for another day, but i have a few things here in Ashland to take care of... have a good day, all!

back from Seattle!
and although i bought postcards, i never mailed them. oops.
hope people don't mind an Ashland postmark. grrr.... there was literally no time to sit down and write postcards, which angers me. and was a little exhausting...
but the trip went well! lots of fun and driving...
and yes, a bit of a car accident. NOTHING TOO BAD. the other car has maybe two scratches on it, and mine.... well, frankly it looks pathetic. the plastic grille broke in half, and while one part stayed in the front of the car, the other shattered into pieces and scattered itself all over the 520. oops. oh, and the left front turn signal and surrounding plastic were broken.
but everybody is fine.... well, everybody except my car :p but it will be looking better soon.
because i'm going up north again this weekend! woohoo? no. i'm tired of cars. i'm tired of sitting on my ass for a day's worth of travel. i just did that! i just fucking did it!
oh well. at least the wedding will be incredible.
i really haven't much to say, and the few photos i took on the trip aren't uploaded yet.... maybe tomorrow. yeah, probably tomorrow.
back to work. cheers!

getting ready for Seattle...
and the fun times that will (probably) follow.
first and foremost, PAX! The ladies and i will be basking in the warmth that is the direct stare of 5,000 nerdy gamers... ok, i should elabourate- the big difference between us and them is... err... well..... look it up in a biology book. and it has nothing to do with fungi, lemme tell you that.
alright, to be perfectly blunt, we have boobies, and they don't. or at least, we're supposed to. but they're gamer boys, so tit happens. :)

i can only hope to see him.... oh, and Cat Man the Enforcer (i didn't edit his photo because it detracted from the value too much.... Cat Man, if there's a problem, lemme know):
yeah, all sorts of happiness can be found at a nerd convention. huzzah! time for sleep

first and foremost, PAX! The ladies and i will be basking in the warmth that is the direct stare of 5,000 nerdy gamers... ok, i should elabourate- the big difference between us and them is... err... well..... look it up in a biology book. and it has nothing to do with fungi, lemme tell you that.
alright, to be perfectly blunt, we have boobies, and they don't. or at least, we're supposed to. but they're gamer boys, so tit happens. :)

what the fuck, body?
seriously, mon petit carcass, what the fuck?
i'm tired almost constantly these days. you wouldn't know it from reading my last few posts, but i wake up around 5 pm, and am ready to go back to sleep by midnight or so. this makes less than zero sense to me.... and i think you know why.
and even when i'm awake, my body feels heavy and slow. there's fuzz wrapped around my brain. i have to rest after i've walked down the stairs.
according to Webmd.com (who else is there to ask?), "A stressful emotional situation may also cause fatigue. This type of fatigue usually clears up when the stress is relieved." i wonder if that's what's shakin here... would i consider these days of a "stressful emotional" nature? when isn't this the case? after retirement?
ok, i'm going to go eat something, and take some B2 vitamins (excellent for energy, btw). cheers!
(sorry my posts haven't been as cheery as usual these days.... but even mickey mouse has a bad day)

who knows
today was short, and speckled with highs and lows.
i woke up at around 5 pm, and was still tired. which is kind of lame. and now, 12 hours later, i'm beginning to fade again.
went down to Kelli's work and hung out with her during her lunch break... also chatted with her coworker, Gina. that woman is fuckin hilarious! and her personal life is rough right now.... she's my hero. one of many :p
sometimes i want to dig a hole and hide for a day or two. and when i come out, i hope somebody's taken over my life and fixed things. unfortunately, i know that's not going to happen, so i guess i'll keep limping along until something gives. and hopefully, it won't be me.
he seems closer to snapping, anyways. i just wish he'd leave me alone to repair and gather myself. but texting me daily is mostly becoming a bittersweet reminder of things i can't make better. like him.
i'd apologise for griping so much, but you know what? it's my fucking blog. if i can't complain here, then where? it's better than emotionally puking on people all day long.
unfortunately, you have to suffer through it before i get to whatever you're looking for.
what ARE you looking for, anyways?
yeah, it's time for this bug to sleep. i suppose i should've put a downer alert at the top of this blog, but oh well.

sleeping while it's dark? what?
it's true. i'm about to get ready for bed, and it's still dark outside.
although who knows.... maybe i can hang in there long enough for the sun to show itself. SHOW YOURSELF! what movie is that from? or did i just make it up? i'm so fucking tired.
Jimmy's still out of the picture, but it's a slow process. after he woke me up at 7.30 in the fucking morning yesterday to let me know he's got too much to process, he did a similar thing today... except it was around 1 pm (i was still sleeping, though! gah!), and it was to ask me why i hadn't asked for a reason why he was taking off. i'm fairly certain that the reason of "i can't commit to anything, and i have some shit to sort through" is good enough for me, but there was no going back to sleep after that.
ok, enough griping for one night. wait- one more thing. i just drank a bit of root beer, and it made me burp (very lady-like, mind you... graceful and dainty, as i always am), and it stretched my stomach muscles out funny, and it hurt.
now i'm really done. sleep time!

if tim doesn't get out of the shower soon...
i will be forced to go to drastic measures in order to cleanse myself.
i'm thinking Clorox bleach wipes.
eeeeewwww..... nevermind.
i wonder if i have a song on my computer called "Hurry The Fuck Up! Yeah!" that i could blast through the door..... :D
i'm magic! the water just turned off! huzzah!

i just got a package in the mail! woohoo!!! now, to open it...
for some reason, Tim hid the knives once he heard that i've been having panic attacks. not sure how that adds up.... "Hi! My name is Meghan! I like cheese, frogs, creepy psychological thriller movies, and cutting like an emo kid in high school while listening to sad ballads by Green Day." what?!
anywho... where's a pen... wait! i have keys! yes!!!
aaaah!!! i can't get the fucking UPS label to cut! noo!! ok, thumb tacks it is...
success!
and the card on top says...
"Happy Birthday Blog Buddy! Cheers, Madge"
YAY!!! oh my goodness.... packing peanuts don't move fast enough
haha!! this is awesome! they're "classic computer icon note cards"!! and the one on top is of a bowling-ball style bomb with a lit fuse. i gotta look at them all... we've got the bomb, the trash can, the speaker volume up, a little face saying an exclamation point, a magnifying glass, the smiley desktop computer, a watch, the paint can, the new document page with the dog-ear'd corner, and a little face saying a question mark. nice!
this makes me laugh. ah, thank you Madge!! you'll be getting a thank-you note on the bomb card. woohoo!
ok, nap time before work. cheers!

i'm hoooome
at my parents' home. and it's amazing- as soon as i walk through the door into my old room, i turn 16 all over again. how is this possible? i almost want to call my old friends from CHS (yes, i had friends.... sheesh :p) and see what the boys are up to.
anywho, yeah, i got here last night, and am taking off tomorrow. nothing like a short visit to remind you who your family is without reminding you (toooo much) of why you left (no worries Ace, you weren't any of the main factors in that decision). hmm.... there was something i wanted to change while typing that last sentence, but i don't remember what it is now that i got to the period.
oh well.
i'm sleepy. i just woke up from a nap, and i'm still feeling whipped. i nearly said something incredibly horrible just then, but i'm glad i stopped myself. Michael Jackson's attorneys could've been all over me. ack! the temptingness to say terrible things is too great. i take my leave.
Currently:
bah... it's all the same.

i just got home, and discovered that my bed was nekkid. then i remembered: i was doing laundry when i left! ah, miss domestic goddess i am not.
could be worse. i could be missing a leg.
that would definitely be worse.
or have a kid.
oooh! bathroom's open! huzzah.
hormonal thought of the hour before i go (literally- hehe): i think guys should have to pay for feminine hygiene products. i mean seriously- if i'm going through the horrific (and socially unmentionable) experience of menstruating, the least they can do is pay for my fucking monthly products. sheesh.
ok, i'm done. time to pee. cheers!

crazy ass dream last night...
in my dream, there was this secret organisation that stole females and sacrificed them for some reason or another. their headquarters was this little house that pulled a Harry Potter when you walked in (it became a fuckin huge factory inside). for one reason or another, it was on campus, and i kept trying to prove to everyone else on CPS (Campus Public Safety) that this place existed, but nobody believed me.
i'd go in there and steal my friends out, or at least try to... i can't remember why i was allowed in there in uniform, but when i was in street clothes they tried to keep me.
anywho, the girls that they had working in their factory (i remember the number 30,000 as one of the victims' estimation for how many girls there were) were housed in these floating dorms that in the morning shrank up to the size of a cracker... but at night the head of the factory would pull out the "crackers" and toss them on the water, and they'd almost sink, then flip over and bob up to the surface full-sized and ready for occupants.
every night, the factory owners would sacrifice 5 girls to something... it looked like the moon, but i never figured out exactly what it was... and they had a special cracker dorm reserved for the sacrifices to go into, from which they would be taken and... done whatever with. but it wasn't good. people went into that place and weren't ever seen again.
this place was horrible. the girls were incredibly unhappy there, telling me about how much they wanted to go back to their husbands and families... my friend Diedra was there, and i visited her once (in uniform, of course). she looked so hungry... the bread in this factory was always moldy, but the loaves were huge. and when i say huge, i'm talking a foot across, and four feet long. and always going bad.
i was woken up from this (incredibly detailed) dream by my cell phone beeping... but i wasn't awake enough to not still be dreaming. the dream just changed...
i was watching a tv, and there was a decomposing clown talking to me on it. he was green with white speckles all over him, and his eyes were bugging out. he kind of looked like Beetlejuice from the old version with Wynona Rider... then he morphed into an ex-boyfriend from high school, and came out of the tv. he made me eat crushed glass, and laughed as i threw up blood... then he got back into the tv (i died facing it), and began giving a horribly biased obituary, telling my life as my subconscious thinks he saw it.

and people wonder why i hate sleeping.

and life goes on (well, for some of us)
Clyde is gone. he left in the early hours of this morning, while i was at Kelli's house watching "Frida" (good movie, btw). when i got off work at 0100, i'd noticed he wasn't looking right, so i took him (tank and all) over to Kelli's with me, and some time during the film he chose to check out.
it was good while it lasted.
i buried him out back, near where we used to go sunning. if the sprinkler system worked for this house, i could call his current resting place a flower bed, but it's not. it's more of a mess of vines and detritus.
i really hope the neighbour's dog doesn't dig him up.

shhhh (posting from work)
it's a down time, so i thought i'd share my boredom.
i'm fucking exhausted! i've worked 15 of the past 26 hours, and will be here until midnight. i slept about 4 hours (maybe) last night because i was hanging out with a friend who i decided needed me more than rum.
i love that girl, but damn... rum? straight? yeah, no thanks.
post-birthday days have been good. sweet Jimmy boy has been around and i love it! hugs abound, and he checks up on me if i'm having a rough day, even if he's busy himself.
there's so much food left over from my birthday! it's nice, but i'm afraid it's going to go bad before it can be eaten. there's a couple of ziploc bags of pizza (some bitch ate all the cheese... there will be death), a bowl of guacamole, two bags of chips, fruit aplenty, probably twenty bagels... how am i supposed to eat it all?! it's impossible.
this is a new phenomenon: TOO MUCH food. i'm not sure i like it any more than i like not having enough food. at least then i don't feel guilty about food spoiling.
party, anyone? i've got the food!
and i'd be willing to part with the couple of boxes of microwaveable caramel/kettle corn my mother gave me. realllllly not a fan. anyone? anyone? please!!
what else... hmm... ha. i talked to Kyle on the 9th, and he said he'd get in contact with me on my birthday to wish me a good one, but he didn't. kind of hurt, but i'm not too worried about it. tons of people who actually give a shit about me wished me a happy day (like Madge! i'm still reeling from the cake :-p), and frankly? it's just not worth my time caring one way or another about him.
yay! my supervisor's wife just arrived with their puppy in tow. adios! PUPPY!!!!

Birthday Highlights
-Kelli made me a cheesecake! it was so sweet of her.... and entertaining to watch her cook.
-the new guy (who Kelli and I have taken to calling "Jim") came by Kelli's place to say happy birthday to me... hug, kiss, and all. it was nice :)
-I got an iPod Nano from my parents!! i was so excited... still am. and they gave me a little stereo system that it can plug right into, and is actually pretty loud!
-Took an excellent nap.
-Shredded newspaper for Kelli's cat's litter box. not a highlight per se, but how i rolled into the day.
-My sister gave me a pound and a quarter of candy. it looks delicious.
-money! money is always good.
-and lovely darling Madge has sent me something in the mail... the joys live on! frankly, even if she had sent me a bowtie i'd be excited, because getting things in the mail? yeah, it's fucking awesome.
-AND she posted a happy birthday cake for me! ah, it makes me smile a lot.
-"Jim" might be coming by again later tonight for another hug. i do like this one a bit. he makes me feel special (no, not special ed). and beautiful. and worth something. it's kind of odd.
-hmm.... cake! ice cream! licorice! guacamole and chips! pizza! oh man, cheese pizza.... it's so delicious.... and in large quantities, it only seems to get better.
yup, life is looking good today. and tomorrow should be fairly decent as well. hope things are good with everyone else!

well THAT was an interesting day...
went to sleep around 9 am, got up at 4.30, and went to work, business as usual.
got myself into a situation involving friends and an upcoming trip and not knowing how to solve the problem... what followed was a panic attack. or at least, as far as i can tell, that's what it was.... either way, it wasn't fun.
i actually had one of these a few days ago, driving home from a friend's house. i was just cruising down the old highway (it was about 2 am, so not too late), and for really no reason, i got really scared and convinced that i was going to die somehow. every the people in every car i passed were threats to my life, and when i got home, i pretty much melted. it was pretty crazy. my heart was going a mile a minute, and i must've been breathing twice as fast as normal.
tonight's ended in nearly puking before going back to work completely freaked out (because really? i had no idea what's going on), and exhausted. i got sent home early for safety reasons (the example given to me was something about a person deciding to attack me because i'm in a uniform, and me not being able to defend myself). i didn't want to go, but it probably was for the best.
ok, i just read up on panic attacks from WebMD.com (panic attacks), and it sounds about right. i have a doctor's appointment back in Eugene at the end of the month when i go up for my sister's wedding, so i'll figure it out then. in the meantime.... how the fuck do i make this not happen again?!
whatever. in other news, Clyde is doing well. he's a fairly cheap date (food costs are about $2/week, and dirt is $7 for a brick that lasts him... well... since i've gotten him), and doesn't talk back. we occasionally have to have chats about his difficulty opening up, and this constant glare he's got going... but all in all, it's working out.
yeah, that sounded a bit crazy, even for me.... must be time for bed. cheers, and hopefully something wonderful will happen soon so i have a topic of interest to write about. night!
got myself into a situation involving friends and an upcoming trip and not knowing how to solve the problem... what followed was a panic attack. or at least, as far as i can tell, that's what it was.... either way, it wasn't fun.

package came!

i'm going to go on a ride-along with a cop friend now, so everybody stay safe and legal, or i'll come bust your ass.

hooray for sun!
Clyde and I just got back inside from sitting outside and enjoying the sun (i was freckling, and Clyde was digesting Calcium). it was lovely. too bad the sun went down so fast.
i may have to go outside earlier to avoid this whole "sunset" thing. :p
life around here is pretty smooth. wake up, either go to work or not, eat if i feel like it, hang out with people, take care of Clyde, and go back to bed. rinse and repeat.
i got a package in the mail today, but the mail room was closed, so i'll have to get it tomorrow. i wonder what it is.... ah, the suspense! i can't take it! but i must.... be strong, Meghan, be strong...
fuck this. i'm going to go find the mailroom manager and get him to open it for me. suspense = killing. i hope it's my stuff from Kyle's place. my mother sent the box down to me after he dropped it off in Eugene. wouldn't it be novel to have my own belongings? :P

i did it!!
yes, ladies and gents, Meghan officially got her first tattoo. it's between the shoulders just below the base of the neck, and it's only the shamrock. no text. alright, alright, i'll put another picture up of what it looks like (i heart it so):
yup! it's about two inches across. maybe a bit more. but the goal was to be around 2 inches. it's excellent! happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me...

inhuman? what??
why do people keep expecting me to hate Kyle? this confuses me. how could i hate somebody that i used to care so much for? true, i'm not his biggest fan at the moment, but why would i spend so much energy actively hating someone? i think he would've had to do something fairly monumental for me to be able to be angry with him.
go figure.
in other news, i bought fruit snacks today. damn those things are delicious. i'm eating a pack right now (they're "cherry" flavoured.... i like the strawberry ones better)... mmmm....
Meteorite shower!! i love them. the peak is going to be on Saturday (it's the South Delta Aquarid annual shower, for those of you who care), and i think a group of us are going to go lay out near the baseball fields and watch. apparently, there's an average of 20 an hour, but don't believe me about it. check it for yourself
yep, pretty exciting stuff. in fact, i believe i will go watch right now! cheers!

200! yes!
made it. huzzah
and to honour this momentous(??) occasion, i will... hmm... explain why i want to get my tattoo (photo at the end).
i found this image on a website that has a collection of all things Irish. the site itself is www.eirefirst.com and i found it randomly a few years back. i was probably making a family history project for school (i'm sure everybody and their mother has had to do those a time or three), and was perusing the clipart section, laughing at their lame leprechauns and the whatnot when i found this image. to me, it symbolises (corny alert! corny alert!) how the Irish always shine through, and to have faith. throughout my life, various obstacles have arisen (some large, some laughably small), and between my love for my family and my faith in the idea that everything will be fine in the end, i've managed to pull myself through.
indeed, my family could be the poster kids for Irish-America, with a hint of Russian for flavour. St. Patrick's Day celebrations since before i was born, and my family is the "token protestant" influence in an overwhelmingly catholic celtic band that my dad, along with a few slightly inebriated friends, started over 25 years ago.
yeah, basically, Irish pride. gotta love it.
so, without further ado, my tattoo idea:
isn't it nice? i'd like to get it on my back, just below the collar line (easier to cover up for work than my first choice- the back of my neck). either that, or this option, possibly somewhere on my arm:
(the text font would be different, but the idea is the same)
and there you have it. a 10 dollar answer to a 2 cent question that was never asked.

life is good.
i have discovered that i loooooove cream cheese sandwiches. and if i still ate meat, i'd probably put salami in there. but no. it might make me ill.
but yeah, life is looking up! work is good, linen crew is no more, and Clyde just munched a cricket. hehe
whoa! and another one bites the dust! he must be hungry. makes sense.
i love how the gutload for the crickets is green, and you can see this faint greenish hue in them when they're full of it.
ah, yes, today went well. uneventful, and well. and it appears that Clyde's day is going just fine, too.
i'm going to go make myself a sandwich (filled with cream cheese, of course), and watch "Benny & Joon" or however you spell Benny/Benni/Bennie. :)

hilariosity ensued...
ah, yes... my inner mechanical tendencies are finally showing.
(thanks, Tits, for having this up)
eat potatoes, everyone! i'll be back later
Sleepless in Assland
but not for long.
i'm going to try Linen Crew again tomorrow, and see how it goes. i very well may be writing it off prematurely, as i do with lots of things (especially foods). so, who knows.
otherwise... life is good. taking it a day at a time, and loving the support all along the way. i passed my CLEP (College Level Examination Program) test, so i don't have to redo CORE at all (thank goodness!!). in the next few days i'll hopefully receive my complete test score, so i know exactly how well i did, but not having to take CORE again is such a relief. for those of you who haven't heard my griping about CORE before, it's this freshman-level writing and speaking class that's mandatory if you don't transfer into SOU with the credit in the right classes. it's a waste.
what else.... oh! i just RSVP'd to my sister's wedding. no, not Anya, but my older not-exactly-biologically-related sister Lindsay (i hope i've already explained my family... if not, then another time). anywho, yeah, the wedding is in September, in Portland. yay! it's about time they got married.
i think that might be it for tonight... ok, i can't think of anything else, and my teeth need a good brushing, so i'ma take care of that. cheers!

oops!
slept through my alarm this morning. this means that i didn't get to talk to the Linen Crew boss, and let him know that the two schedules for my two different jobs are too different for my body to handle. it's almost impossible to be waking up at 2 pm Friday through Sunday, and expect myself to be able to get up at 8 am Monday morning ready to work.
i think i'll enjoy the extra time, and hopefully i'll be able to work better at the job that actually means something to me: enjoying life (and yes, being a campus cop as well). i like having days where i don't have anything i have to do, and wind up hanging out on the couch drinking ginger ale, munching chips, and watching a movie. it's lovely.
and if i get too bored with only working three days a week, then maybe i'll join linen crew again. but right now, i need to slow my life down enough to be able to think. running myself ragged doesn't prove anything other than that i was stupid enough to think of myself as a superhero. which, believe you me, i'm not.
alright, sleepy time. have a good day!

guess who's up? me!!!
yeah... wish sleep would come. but no dice. oh well.
life has become a fairly odd yet completely monotonous chore. but..... here's a highlight from today:
an Arabic foreign exchange student asked Tim for help with reading something because his english was a bit shaky (probably still is). anywho, Tim glanced at the letter and passed it on to me. so i got to read, slowly, a love letter from a girl named Carla to this guy. favourite lines:
"will we marry and have children, (sic) will we say good-bye?"
"i love you with all my heart"
anywho, yeah... slowly reading a love letter to this guy, and when i'm done, he tells us that this chick is very jealous of when he even responds to another female saying "hi" to him, and that is why he cut it off with her.
maybe you had to have been there, but i thought it was pretty damn funny. apparently, i was bright red by the end of my read-aloud.
have a good day, all!

i really wish...
that everyone who demands something of me would get together and come up with one set rule that i have to follow for them all, and they'd be happy.
actually, they probably all do get together, but to plan how they can slightly stagger their demands so that 5 days after i mess up with one person, i can be told by another that i should've done what i'd done 5 days before. gah!!
in other news, Clyde is doing well. oh! and i got my first box of checks, ever, today! it was exciting. who knows, maybe i'll become an adult after all.
hmm.... let's talk after i've bought a house, and see if i'm still enjoying it then.
cheers and chocolate milkshakes to all!

life goes on...
who'da thought. but it does.
lessee... i'm going to get a job with Linen Crew tomorrow.... that'll be nice- to actually have money, and not just mealpoints/housing.
not that i'm complaining about any of that, of course.
hope Kyle is doing ok. i heard from a mutual friend that when she called him, he seemed pretty upset... but i'm sure he'll be fine, eventually. last time i tried to talk to him he didn't think i was "civil" (i know i was trying to be, that's for damn sure), and said he'd give me "more time". i don't know what to be thinking.
i actually try not to. think, that is.
oh well. this too shall pass.
good thing Clyde is here to keep me company, otherwise i might go insane. he's really a brilliant conversationalist. he and Madge's cat could give Shakespeare a run for his money. oop- i'm being informed by a certain amphibian that no cats are allowed into the house. sorry, d. sergei.

this morning
is kind of a setback. no tears yet, but feeling a bit low. i think i'll go shower. honestly, if i didn't have work, life would kind of be sucking right now.
i hate being home alone. this house is too big without other people making noise in it. luckily, the housemates should be returning soon, and the house will continue to be a box of craziness.
time to take off. ahoy, bitches!

quick update from work
life as a newly single is going better than i had expected. Clyde keeps me company by silently staring death threats while i sleep, and people have shown so much love that it makes me feel really happy. there's no anger, and (hopefully!) there won't be. anger and hate really are wastes of time in situations like this one, so i've learned.
again, thanks to all who have gotten in contact with me to let me know that they care, and i'll hopefully have something more exciting/pleasant/typical to write soon. cheers and love back!

NYC, so far
it's good here so far. muggy with thundershowers, but good.
we're currently in a holding pattern, waiting for somebody to get hungry and want to go out to eat.
OOOOHHH!!! saw Spamalot this evening. it was excellent! funny as hell, and i bought a shirt after the show that says "I'm not dead yet..."
what else... hmm... i heard that Clyde is doing well back home. i miss his angry little face. always sitting there, glaring at me silently from the corner of his tank.
i got an outfit for Lindsay's wedding. Anya just pulled it out of the bag. someday a photo of Kyle and i in "Wedding Garb" may appear, but for now, i'm set.
ok, i really have nothing to say. other than: Anya, only you could sprain your ankle in the hotel room. truly amazing.
Kyle: call?

work
makes me sleepy. but not sleepy enough to pass out just yet. first- processing.
Clyde is well. i don't think he likes the crickets.... it's possible that he just isn't eating as much as i want him to. grow, little frog! be fat! oh well.
i hurt. training yesterday kind of made my SI joint hurt. btw- for those of you who haven't gone back and read my entire blog, that's the one that i fucked up in a car accident a while back. ~4 years, to be closer to accurate.
ibuprofen helps. 9 of them.
i got to help bust a baddie tonight. that was fun. i felt... well... useful? present? ok, i really was just a chick with permission to watch, but it was still better than nothing!
what else... i'm working again tomorrow night, then on Monday i'm driving home to ready myself for a plane ride. hopefully i'll get to drive over to the coast and say hi to Señor Buddy Boo (hehe) before i go on the plane ride from hell. which all plane rides are, but this one is the nearest, and therefore the most dangerous. don't question me on this logic.
oooh!!! check out my new photo!! i'm loving it. i think somebody might've drawn it at one point in time, but i found it on my cousin's profile, and have no way of knowing where it came from. but it makes me smile, so there!
i miss Kyle. no surprise there, but i was hoping that admitting to it would somehow make the next day and change a bit easier. doubt it. but i do miss you, babe. very much.
alright, time for me to sleep. cheers, and i hope everyone is having/has had an excellent weekend!

owwwww
i hurt!! Defensive Tactics training was today, which made for lots and lots of owies. for example: i have a bruise on my wrist from a coworker putting the handcuffs on me wrong. and another bruise (that's gonna look sweet in the morning) on the top of my foot from somebody stomping me with their heel.
good news is that we all know how to beat on baddies. hahah
today is Kyle and i's 11-month anniversary! happy day, sweetie. and fyi, i firmed up the plans for me to switch days with Holly so I can come up next month for our one-year.
oooh monkey junk i hurt. time for sleep. cheers all, and remember: life could be worse- you could be back in middle school. yikes!

life these days...
is excellent! here're the newest additions....
This is Clyde. Or at least, a photo of one of Clyde's relatives. he's a Pac Man frog, and currently the size of a silver dollar. he's so fucking cute!!! currently residing in the newly empty fish tank (when it was only Dr. House, i asked my friend Diedra if he could move into her tank to make way for Clyde), and happy as a pissed off chicken. i think it's because the crickets keep pointing and laughing at him. who knows.
also....
I got straight A's on my last report card!! holeee moleee.... that top A is thanks in large part to Madge.... without her, I wouldn't have been able to be quite this giddy. thank ye kindly, missus.
that's all for now. i think i'm going to go find some anti-itch stuff for this bugbite i got on my arm... fuckin bugs....
Madge: you shall forever be remembered as the (semi) faceless entity that managed to get me to do my work... a nearly impossible task, as those who know me can attest
Kyle: get your fucking internet hooked up so i can talk to you online and not feel bad about calling and waking you/others up!
