The important thing is always to learn. It doesn't matter what you're reading, what you're doing, as long as you're learning. Life is made up of stories, so always make sure to take stock of everything around you, and anything interesting that happens. It may someday make for a good story. But if it doesn't, it was still a learning experience. So go out, learn, live, and make a story worth telling.
When I was a little kid, I never once went to summer camp. I didn’t even get to go to a day camp. Never really had the chance to, actually. That, and me and my mom didn’t really know of any to send me to. Well, while I was nosing around the internet, as is my wont, I found this website for this great summer camp in Pennsylvania. Poconos Summer Camp looks like a really great place. Gods, I would’ve loved to go to a place like that when I was younger. It would’ve been pretty cool to go when I was older, too, and be a counselor. I always thought it would’ve been so freaking cool to be a camp counselor for the summer. I was always reading books and seeing movies that took place in a summer camp. It probably wouldn’t have been nearly as awesome as what the Babysitters’ Club went through, or the Sweet Valley crew, but it still would’ve been a much better way of spending my summer than watching television and cooping myself up in my room with a book when I wasn’t out playing in the neighborhood with my friends. Not like I didn’t see Rose and Barbie every day of the year, anyway. There wasn’t even much to do other than run around and maybe go play at the elementary school playground.
My friend, Christye, is going to Mississippi in February to visit her family, and she invited me to come with! All I hafta do is buy my own plane ticket, which she says is only about $164 or so, round-trip. I’ve never flown anywhere before. I’ve also never seen an ocean before. Barely even been out of Ohio, actually. This would mean I could do all that stuff. Also, Mardi Gras. ‘Nuff said. And New Orleans would only be an hour or so drive away from where we’d be staying. I’ve wanted to visit there for quite some time. Visit those beautiful cemeteries and such. And Mardi Gras. I mean seriously. Coolest party ever.
The only thing is, now I’m terrified that something’s going to mess up, and I won’t be able to do it. It seems like everything I really want does that. I’d be crushed if I ended up not being able to do this. It’d be my first plane trip.
Oh, and also, I’m being demoted back to part-time at work, and losing my insurance. It’s because I don’t answer my phone enough, and because I turned n my time sheets a week late once, and because I’m “unreliable”. It’s because I had to call off for those days when I was contagious and couldn’t breathe, and because those days I couldn’t get to work because my car literally wouldn’t work. I have never once messed up while with a consumer. Not dropped anybody, not missed any medicines, never given the wrong medicine. Never a single mistake, damnit! Plus, the consumers love me. Seriously, I’m pretty sure I’m one of the best people they have there, where the consumers are concerned. But no, since I don’t fucking answer my phone, I’m losing my insurance. I really did wanna see if I had Endometriosis, and I wanted to get glasses so these terrible headaches would stop, and I wanted to see if my teeth hurt 24/7 because I have a cavity/cavities, and I wanted to see a fucking therapist! But no. Once again, borderline personality disorder fucks me in the ass.
Yeah, great way to start out a new year. I just hope I don’t end up getting fired.
It’s kinda sad, really, but Jim and I still haven’t bought much in the way of furniture. We got the futon immediately, of course. We needed a place to sit and to sleep, after all. Then we got the mattress set (without a frame or anything). We finally got around to buying two bookshelves a few weeks back. Didn’t have enough room for all my books on the first one, so I’ll hafta put a few on the second.
But that’s not the point I was trying to make. We still don’t have a proper entertainment center for the front room. Right now, we have the TV and the video game consoles on a modified china cabinet I used when I still lived with my parents. There’s not much room on it, so the consoles are spilling out onto the floor. Sad, no?
We also need to go out and buy a TV stand for the bedroom. Jim can’t bring his TV from the Mammy’s until we have something other than the floor to put it on. We also need a shelf or two to put the DVD player on. The X-Box 360 and the Playstation 2 play DVDs in the front room, so my DVD player gets to go in the bedroom. Just fine with me, though. I can watch movies in bed. The ultimate lazy!
TV consoles just seem so expensive, though. That’s why it’s a good thing I found this website. Free shipping, and they’re even having a great sale going on right now. And you should make sure to look at the armoire section, cuz man are those some pretty TV settin’ things. Heh heh heh.
All in all, we seriously need to buy some places to set or TVs. Gyah. Oh, and in case you were wondering, here’s my favorite.
I’ve felt so damn lazy as of late, I swear. I actually woke up early today (cuz Aaron stayed over last night, and made me set my alarm for 10:30am to get him up at). I’m drinking a cheapo diet Vault drink thingie, hopefully that’ll keep me awake.
Gods, I can’t believe that tomorrow’s New Year’s Eve. I mean seriously, it doesn’t seem like 2008 should be over yet. The year just flew by. Bleah…
I guess I don’t really have much to say right now. I just felt like writing in here. I need to write in here more often.
I’ve started getting stuff together for OhayoCon ‘09. I didn’t end up going last year, due to not having any money whatsoever, so It’ll be two years since my last con experience! How awful is that? I mean seriously, one of the most fun things in the world for a semi-rabid, hopped-up-on-caffeine Otaku like myself is an anime convention. And since I have a real, honest-to-the-gods job this year (full-time, no less), I can actually afford to get a few things in the vendors’ room. I’m thinking another plushie or two. I still want a Chrono plushie from Chrno Crusade. That’d be so cute! Half tempted to grab an Abel one from Trinity Blood if I can find one. I’d also like another poster or two, and some more pins. And if Jim doesn’t catch me, I might even buy a sharp pointy.
I need to finish up my Kiki and Coco Kitty plushies, and the Angelic Headband for my Gaia cosplay costume. I have the Kiki almost done; I just have to sew his head back so that it doesn’t look like his neck’s broke. The Coco, I still gotta stuff. I have most of the stuff for my Headband ready, I just gotta glue/sew it together. And I probably oughta start bitching at my mom again to find the damn stuff for my Ed Elric costume. Three fucking years! Three years, and she still hasn’t done squat with the $150 worth of supplies I bought for that damn costume! Gyarg!
Sometimes I feel like such a terrible person. I swear, I keep buying clothing, clothing, and more clothing. It makes me feel like such a girl! Which I am, but still… But at least the stuff I buy, I use and wear. I mean you should see these cute shirts I got the other day. And cheap, too.
Anyway, I don’t just buy shirts. I buy shoes, and skirts and all kinds of other stuff, too. Socks especially make me happy. I love all the different designs and colors they come in. I seriously need to start wearing stuff other than white socks and sneakers again. I have all these cute socks to wear, and never use them. *cries*
As soon as warm weather hits, now that I have job without uniforms or standing for eight hours straight, I think I’ll start wearing my cute shoes and socks again. I have these great ones for St. Patrick’s Day. They have clovers all over them, and say “Kiss me, I’m Irish” all over them. I also have a pair with candy corn on it for Halloween. And cute little devil ones. Heck, I even have a pair with Kenny from South Park on them.
I used to collect awesome socks, and wear them constantly. Mom always bought me pair after pair from places like Dots and Fashion Bug. But those are all old, so I need to buy some new ones soon. Maybe I’ll try Hue.com. Their socks look pretty dang awesome. And they even have non-sock stuff, too. Such cute nightgowns!
You know, right now I’m being a horrible person. I should be sleeping. I have to wake up at seven to take my car into the shop to see why it randomly doesn’t start. I have to drop off my time sheets at work afterwords. But am I asleep? No. My insomnia just won’t let me. I stayed up reading Geek Love, and even when I saw it was going on 2:30am, I still couldn’t make myself go to sleep. Damn you, insomnia. Daaamn yooooooooou…
Maybe I will try going to sleep now.

 You are an organized, responsible person. You value success, and you’re likely to get an early start on the day. You are good with both planning and numbers. |
Yes, seriously. I got this by answering the questions 100% truthfully. Messed up, ain’t it?
I feel a bit like shooting myself in the face right now. I don’t know when or why it happened, but my depression has crept up on me and slaughtered me mercilessly. Fun, no? So yeah, definitely feeling almost like my pre-hospital self. Whee…
I’m trying my hardest to feel better, but it’s just not working. Gyah!
Work’s finally starting to suck. I was wondering how long til that happened.
