I shouldn't have complained. I hardly slept at all last night.
Bah. :|

SO everyone is doing it, I guess I should soon too.

Anyone want a Christmas card?
(I make my own :p)

I went to McDonalds last night with some coworkers after work. And we spent a good amount of time discussing which state has the nicest license plate. lol.

I had to get new tires for my car today and when I plugged in my iPod on the drive home I noticed that the guys who did it messed with the bass and treble on my stereo. Beyond weird.

I have last night's Mentalist downloaded and ready, but I think I might just go to sleep. :|
I've been way tired lately. I'm super stressed and depressed (rhymelol), but I've been suppressing it so much that I think it's just building up and coming out as sleeping for 10hours and falling asleep on the couch while drinking coffee (well, not while drinking but in the middle of a cup). bah.

Or maybe I'm getting sick again. Who knows. All I know is it better not be PMS because that's way way too early. }:

Lol.

Life hasn't been too interesting. I dunno. Work. When I'm not working I'm home doing stuff like sketching and job hunting.

I guess if life's been interesting it's been going to my Twitter more than to here. My bad, LJ.

I have to get at least one new tire soon. The one was pretty deflated yesterday. I had to go fill it back up again before work.
Luckily it was fine when I left work again, though. But my coworker had an aircompressor in his car, so he made sure to check it before we all left.

Yesterday my dad made it seem like I had to do it asap. But today he says it can wait. D:' It doesn't look too bad from me looking out the window. But I don't really want to drive all over the dang place on a tire with a slow-leak. :S

UntitledCat just opened the sliding screen-door somehow. I wish I was able to see her do it. :O

Edit: Damnit, I already made one error on this paper-craft and I just started. Bad omen.

Friday night I went to see The Men Who Stare at Goats. :D SO funny. A lot funnier than I thought it would be. Filmed well, good acting. :D Very good.

housesmash@yahoo.com — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:42:59 GMT

I've been spending too much time at work, I've decided. Next week should be easier, hopefully I'll be able to get other stuff done. But gaah, exhausted.
Plus everyone at work is sick. Plus every customer is sick. wth people, stay home if you're sick. D:'

The book that I was complaining about last entry came. :D And before December 4th, just as promised.

I put a mirror up against my wall yesterday to decide which shoes went with my outfit the best, and UntitledCat was so confused about the other cat. lol. She kept pawing it, and trying to look around it. Then she looked on the other side of the mirror and did a little confused purr.

Today's plan is to relax and catch up on my TVshows. Then I'm going downtown to do some shopping and see The Men Who Stare At Goats with my mom.

I want to start up sewing again. I can't say it would be any easier or cheaper than buying clothing in, you know, stores. Already made and stuff. In fact I remember how much I totally suck at hemming.
What I want is some nice skirts. Because if I had some nice skirts I could buy those boots I found. Which, btw, actually fit my stupid skinny legs.
I think maybe a simple ALine skirt wouldn't be too terrible to make.

The issue I have with skirts is the same issue I have with pants. My legs are too long. Skirts always fall at stupid places on my legs. So maybe sewing them myself will be easier?
Damnit, I'm so awkwardly shaped. lol.

The shipping date of the book I bought two weeks ago got pushed back another day. Now it says "On/before December 4th". I really wish the website said something about such a total delay in shipping like that. I would have just bought it on Amazon or something. Damnit, abebooks.com
Worst is that it claims to have been shipped already, so I can't cancel my order. They must be sending it by bicycle if it's going to take that long even though it's already shipped. ):

Martin Scorsese Directs Hitchcock's The Key to Reserva

housesmash@yahoo.com — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 15:06:40 GMT

My internet has been down for a few days. This sucks because I, you'know, needed it to job hunt and shit. But, as any extended time away from the internet does to me, it's hard to get back into it. I just stop caring. I think that's a sign of maturity? Whatever.

So today I have to be productive to make up for the lack of productive I was sans internet. Now, I did productive stuff but there's only so much you can do without the internet.

On top of it all I have a pseudo-cold that just won't go away.

Edit: Oh yeah. Also Happy Halloween.

I worked extra hours last night because apparently my life sucks no matter which state I'm in. They kept us until past 11:30 so I got home real late, but decided to watch a movie anyways so I can send it back to NetFlix.

I had gotten Smokin' Aces. And, you know what, Ryan Reynolds won that movie. Very much so. His character was kinda background for the whole thing but then comes up and wins the movie with total badass-ness in the last scene. damn, man.

Okay. I gotta do some productive stuff today. Which includes carving pumpkins and going to the mall probably (productively!)
I gotta:
-clean out computer since it's starting to get overrun by photos and psych screenshots
-job hunt more! durr
-do laundry
-bake/cook something
-pay bills
-job hunt! durrrrr.

Edit: I guess going to the Y with my mom on a guest pass and jogging is also going to be included in there.

De-Emo time.

Okay, awesome. I'm apparently out of refills when I'm pretty damned sure my script said at least three.

housesmash@yahoo.com — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 05:34:06 GMT

I went back up to full doses for my meds about a week ago, because half just wasn't cutting it.
I really really need to order a refill but my credit-card is downstairs. So I have to remember to do it tomorrow. My mom offered to help pay for it, but my parents don't even know what it's for so why make them pay for it?

I've also added vitaminC to my nightly routine. Cheaper than getting sick and I never remember to, like, drink OJ or eat onions or something. I'm taking, like, 500% of my recommended requirement. XD; That pales to the 17000% of B12 I take. lol. Yay.

I mean it, man. With all the swine flu panic going on, bird flu should just swoop in and kill everyone. Nobody would see it coming, we're all looking at the pigs! Nobody (but Ria) is thinking to be suspicious of the chickens anymore.
SARs, too. Whatever happened to SARs?
All this shit doesn't bother me. It's just another fad virus that noone will remember in two years.

I made Pumpkin Baked Ziti today. NomNomNom. So good.

Can I just say that why exactly does one need to be baptized to join a circus? Like, wth. Where did that even come from?

I can't wait for next episode when they finally go back to Matt+Sylar. Because, really, it should have been in this episode. Teaching Sylar his memories back but Sylar is haunting Matt? So there's two sorta Sylars floating around? And one just got baptized into the circus?

K. I can't get past that circus baptism. That's just weird. I get the "whole new life" thing, but really. Come on now.

I was going to go Halloween shopping today but my uterus is clawing its way out of my body. ): So maybe staying home and watching movies instead. ):
I have Halloween off, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get to Rochester. I might still try. But, you know, Higher Ground is going to have Rocky Horror shows as well as a big Halloween costume ball (with drag show!), so I might go to that. Maybe my buddy at work also has no plans and we can go. There's also a festival this weekend downtown.

So in the very least I need some sort of basic costume. I was thinking of making my own...but hm. I might not be up to that. But what I was thinking was a Gentern from Repo, which I guess wouldn't be hard: simple white dress and head-shield thingy.

I made a few more icons. But, you know, I really need to clean out my icons because I keep making more but I don't want to! }:
Plus 90% of the time I'm too lazy to use anything but my default.

Depressive realism is the proposition that people with depression have a more accurate view of reality, specifically that they are less affected by the positive illusions of illusory superiority, the illusion of control and optimism bias.

Interesting.

The thing I hate most about working on Sunday now is that I have to go in at 5 not 6. Though before in OP I usually had to go in at 11am, so I dunno what I'm complaining about. hrmph.

I sent a bunch more resumes places today. It still bugs me that I'm not getting any form of rejection responses, that's seriously rude. I applied to a print and marketing place that was looking for an administrative assistant. I guess if I got something like that I could work up to actually doing something in my field? Whatever. I just need a better job. ):

I changed my ringtone to the Psych themesong because I was getting bored of Europe's the Final Countdown. Surprising, I know. It's almost impossible to get bored of Europe.
Maybe for Xmas I'll switch it to Chicago's Inspiration. (:

ngl, zombie movies make me all warm and fuzzy inside.
I'm not sure why, but they seriously cheer me up.

I watched Land of the Dead tonight. So good. :p

Psych marathon and Psych fall finale today! Best use of a Friday off ever. I also plan to bake cookies. :3
"And this is my partner 'Jazz Hands'."

I bought a cute little notebook for recipes because I've been using my sketchbook and they're all just randomly written on random pages. So now I'll have a precise place for them! I was thinking of getting recipe cards and a fancy box but they were all so small I can't believe a whole recipe would fit on one card. D:'

I also went to a job-expo yesterday. :| I handed out some resumes to some BS companies. Mostly because now I can tell my dad I did this even though it was a total waste of time. I talked to one company I've applied for stuff at before, so maybe that alone was worth it?

AND I was given 3D glasses at work for some reason. Maaan these things are awesome. Everything is rainbows.

housesmash@yahoo.com — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:41:01 GMT

I just did what I was told for 4years not to do. XD
I threw together a business card in ten-minutes. gasp.

I've had wicked bad insomnia lately, so last night was "I'm going to go to bed early because I'm tired early. Then I can wake up early!"
Instead I slept 10hours. I guess to make up for all the sleep I haven't been doing?

Last night was a Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers concert in Burlington. In case you don't know, I've been to maybe...idk 8 of their shows and they formed 5years ago. I very literally go once a year but missed out 2009 because they didn't go to Buffalo/Rochester all summer.
BUT I couldn't make it. I work Tuesdays. )':

So I'm depressed all day yesterday because of that and some other shit. I walk into work in a terrible mood, especially since I work about a block from where their show is. And I go:
"This song is different, great they changed their songs again...wait...I know this song, where do I know this song from...It sounds like...no...OMG IT IS IT'S SK6ERS!?"
My mood got so much better with just that little bit.

AND I'm purchasing their new album on Amazon today.

AND lowest prices of the season start next week. This is bad because it'll probably mean I won't work for two-weeks. But this is good because LPS is Oct.21-Nov.2. I probably have Halloween off!!!!
So now I gotta a) Figure out a costume for cheap and b) decide if I'm able to convince my parents to let me drive back to Buffalo/Rochester or find a party here to go to.

I gotta go buy some things right now, but WOAH I'm in such a good mood I'm going to finally get all the shit I haven't bee doing done because I've been too depressed this last week or so.

Also: Vermont has mega cheap health insurance for poor people like me, apparently.

housesmash@yahoo.com — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 14:56:57 GMT

I'm trying to find new places to go, but no kidding this state has like 5malls and they're all super far from here. :| idk if I want to drive an hour just to wander around and probably not buy anything.
But I really don't want to go downtown. And I kinda don't want to go to the mall that I work at.

I guess I'll ask my dad what's what.

housesmash@yahoo.com — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 04:40:31 GMT

At least I have Friday off from work.

housesmash@yahoo.com — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 15:03:08 GMT

So in my search for Job-hunting, I swear some of the posts I apply to have been posted in the past. Like, srsly. So idk if me applying to them again is faux-pas. I have been anyways, but what if those people are going like "Shit, this Grace kid is really desperate!" ): But then, I wonder if it's really for the same job, or if it's another position. So applying twice wouldn't be too bad.
I want the Teddy Bear Co. to contact me back. My movie-mind is picturing that job to be wicked awesome. Bears!

But no luck yet. I haven't even gotten any sort of emails besides automated "thanks for applying." I mean, they could at least send rejection emails, hell they can automate that sort of thing, too. Be like "Hey, yeah we got your stuff, sorry about not wanting you." ):

I guess I kinda fell off the face of the internet for a while there. I've still been doing the twitter thing. I should set it to have those forwarded to LJ. Not much has been going on, though. Doing a lot of knitting and a lot of working. }: Baked an apple pie yesterday. UntitledCat lost her collar somewhere and noone can find it.

I need to go shopping. I need retail therapy like woah. And also my shoes are falling apart, so I actually need to go shopping for reals. I think next weekend I'll go to Target. Take the ferry boat to NY and go to Target. Boat to Target!
