11:36 pm - Decision
|
I've decided that I'm going to pull a Blink 182. I'm going to take an indefinite hiatus from Livejournal. To sum it all up in one statement: nothing in my life is interesting enough for me to display publicly. It's been fun, but if anyone really wants to know what's going on in my life, they can just ask.
Now I raise my two liter of Pepsi to over a year of wasted webspace: Cheers. (Where everybody knows your nay-ya-ame, bum bum bum)
To end it all, here's my first entry (Oh, the nostalgia):

5:08p - Introduction of Doom
As my first order of business, I shall "Haha! Screw you all!" Now that I have alienated any possible audience that my journal may have, I may continue on. I feel I must give a warning. I write to sort out my own thoughts. I don't write in these journals to make sense or convey any sort or log of my life or deeper meaning behind anything. I have a lot of problems in my life and writing helps me think them out. It organizes my thoughts. That being said, the disjointed nature of my journal is explained. People will be introduced and taken out without warning or introduction. I'm not here to accumulate readership, but as a tool to work out my thoughts. I've been on journalspace, but their expiring pro access can go shove something sharp up somewhere loathsome. So yes, that is all I have to say for now.

I was going to go visit Yearbook today. Menten was supposed to call the office at lunch... except she didn't. So I could not. So my sleep was cut to leave before six in order ot get home in time to take my mom to work for nothing. Nothing. Now I'm tired as all ass. On the upside, I only had 5 minutes of class today. Downside, that 5 minutes was my oral midterm for Japanese, and what grasp I had on the language seemed to fail me. That's the way it goes, I suppose. (Rhyme!)
So I was at Barnes & Noble earlier and I was over at the Writing and Publishing section, and I saw an interesting book. It was a quick reference book for synonyms and antonyms. My reaction: "Huh, that's a good idea." Upon further reflection: "Wait a mintute, they just renamed a thesaurus." I think that's funny because this book had to have been selling as a matter of economics, and the demographic was writers. How do they not ntotice this?
PS- And now because of timing issues, I am at work with no homework to keep me engaged while being friggin' tired. JOY!
PPS- I think it's really dumb how the press is covering the pope's health. "The pope is sick!" No shit! He's old and is living on borrowed time already. Old people people get sick: this is not news. Let's get coverage on stuff that really matters. But do you know what really pisses me off? I have to read other countries' news in order to know what is actually going on in America. How fucked up is that?

5:44 pm - Boring
|
My Day:
Step One- Stay up until 4am watching Braveheart and The Fifth Element
Step Two- Stay in bed until 230pm
Step Three- Sit at computer downloading music until 545pm
Step Four- Required to clear out harddrive becasue size of music folder is approaching size of harddrive itself
Step Five- Shower
Step Six- Blue Chip meeting with new team at 700 to go to
Step Seven- Come back to room and intend to do homework, but just going to organize music
Step Eight- Try to go to bed early because of the need to wake up at 500am in order to take bus home in order to have the car tomorrow
PS of Bizarre Factor- Friends request on MySpace of some band. I don't add bands, but for some reason I looked around and it turns out it's the band of my step-brother-in-law (Damn, that looks funny). Can you say bizarre?
current mood:  bored

3:42 pm - Have you ever had one of those days...
|
...where you just say, "Goddamnit, I look good" Has that ever happened to you? That's my day today. It's not an ego thing; it's just a point of fact.
You also ever get that feeling where you just run into someone, but it's almost as if you were supposed to run into them. It's as if things fell together for the meeting that wouldn't have happened if left to chance. It's really weird and has this odd kind of spiritual feel, eerie almost. That happened to me today. I was on my way to work (where I am now), and I decided to snag some grub from McDonalds. I wasn't really hungry, but I went anyways. I went out a way that I don't usually and it wasn't the best way to get where I was going. So I wa walking along the mall and this huge space was marked off and a bunch of people were just waiting around with BBQ equipment confused as to where to set it up. Among them was Anais, this girl that lives in my building and met when I went to the Midwives cast party. I talked to her for a little while and then headed back off for Tyndall. I still can't shake this feeling though. I know I'm rambling, but I'm just kind of weird right now.
PS- It really annoys me how people won't put at least their first name on their user info, instead they put some saying or their username: thank you, I already got that. No on eis going to steal your identity because you wrote 'Steve' or whatever. How else is anyone going to know it's you especially if you don't use an actual picture of yourself. The internet is only a dangerous place for idiots, so don't be 'that guy.'

7:16 pm - Guess where I am!!!
|
That's right! I am at work, and I am just farting around on the computer! Oh yes, and I am being paid for this too. I'd be sitting in my room doing this right now anyways. Well, technically not because if I didn't have this job I'd be at my Blue Chip meeting, but you get the idea. At any rate, it's still totally bad ass. You know that you wish you could get paid for doing what I do. Ass sitting, homework, and goofing off with the occasional patron: Bad Friggin' Ass! I am so happy! ^_^ Another half hour of this and then I'm home free.
Yippee ka-yay mother fucker!!

LJ Friends Meme by ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) coolerq• You must tell 12 people about this game.
• Kelsi is the one that you love.
• Cassee is one you like but can't work out.
• You care most about Kale.
• Amanda is the one who knows you very well.
• Veronica is your lucky star.
• Poprocks and Coke is the song that matches with Kelsi.

• and Swiss Army Romance is the song telling you how you feel about life
Take this quiz
I took Kale's gender quizzy. This question "14. You could marry for money... if the person was a billionaire." Answering yes boosts the female score. I thought that was funny.

I just had a quick thought while writing a paper. You know that book Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus? I never really thought much about it, and I certainly have not read it. From what I gather, the basic premise is that men tend to be more prone to violence and agression like Mars, the Roman god of war for whom the planet is named after. Women, on the other hand would be more likely to be all fuzzy and loving like Venus, the Roman goddess of love.
So what's funny about that? Mars was a bastard, but he was a straightforward bastard. Venus was a vindictive, manipulative bitch that pretty much screwed every god and a fair few mortals. So she cheated on her husband at every turn. If this book is right, what does that say about women? Kind of funny to think about.

I will say this though: I find it weird that I'm far more coordinated in heels after the third drink.

I found out that at some during my job, I might get to drive one of the UofA carts. WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!! That totally rocks. I also figured that with the money that I'll be making that I could pay rent on apartment up to $450 a month and still live off what was left. How badass is that? Of course I'll be looking for as cheap of an apartment as I cn find because I don't need fancy accomodations. I would prefer utilities included to eliminate hassle and possible included high speed internet. There are tons of apartments around campus that will provide that.
This job is my first big step on forging complete independence, even though I don;t depend on the 'rent for anything right now except if I need to borrow some wheels. I am so psyched.

I've been writing my ass off for this paper, so I'm goign to take a little LJ update break.
I'm going up to Phoenix on Friday to pick up my sister because that hoser has a 3 day weekend. Prizoner of Azkaban on tape here I come!!
Filled out paperwork for my job today, and I should be on the schedule by next week. (Rock!) That does mean, however, that I'm probably goign to have to switch out of my team which makes me sad because I really like most of them. Most of all that means no more cute Blue Chip girl that I have a crush on. Sadness....
As exciting and informative as that was, I have 2 more pages to write on slavery (My favorite topic).
No profound thought for today, my thought process has been totally sapped by this thoroughly unoriginal paper. Oh damn, speaking of which I found out today that apparently my english class's first papers really sucked. I'm afeared now because I worked my ass off on that thing. I actually went through and proofread, I mean Jesus.

8:00 pm - Pre-homework update
|
I try to avoid posting twice in one day, but I felt compelled. Well, I'm pleased to announce that I had an enjoyable encounter with the willfully ignorant. (See: comments on previous post) I jotted down a random thought and went on my way. Much to my delight, an Anonymous person responded to my post. It was joyous.
I make a point of not calling people's opinions into question unless they initiate it by doing it to me. Then, the gauntlet is thrown down. I was accused of conforming to nonconformity. A) That's a fundamental contradiction; and B) If I could choose one "bandwagon" for more people to jump on it would be the critical thinker's "bandwagon." As a point of fact, a group of people having the same opinions does not make it a bandwagon, they're called like-minded people. Bandwagons are constituted by a group of people all participating in the same action without any personal reflection as to why they would possibly want to partake.
That out of the way, I sincerely hope that this Anonymous person has the stones to respond and we can actually enter into a debate on the issue. I figure they are one of two things: 1) Some random person that get's their jollies out of posting anonymously on other people's journals; or 2) Someone that linked to my journal from someone on my friends' list, which in that case means we probably went to the same high school. If the case is number 2, I would encourage this person to engage with me in a reasonable debate wherein I actually know who I'm talking to.
If not, then I will be kind of sad at a lost opportunity. After all, I would like to continue the discussion in a way that the two of us are on even footing, because it seems safe to say they know who I am, or at least know of me.
So, thats that. I have homework to do.
EDIT @ 1156PM: In case no one cares, this is what I was thinking about putting on my custom t-shirt:
Yes, those are little naked stick people. Really hammers the point home, doesn't it?

I was talking to Danie, and I had a thought. It went something like this: It seems like high school is existent for one purpose. Either you realize that the soul-crushing and mind-wiping effects of conformity and unoriginal thought that are so prevelant within the institution are things that need to be battled with and defeated to become an unfettered spirit and free thinker, or you ensnared by the system and are destined to become nothing more than one of the many plebians suitable only for servitude and obedience. (So good luck with that)

8:51 am - It's a Holly Jolly Valentine
|
This would normally be the place where I make some rant about how I don't like whatever holiday is occuring today. I did it on Thanksgiving, and I did on Christmas. I'm not, however, obligated to do anything on this day, so screw convention. People will say that Valentine's Day is there to make single people feel bad. Why the miserable feelings? Are you ctually sad, or are you only reacting the way society deams it appropriate. You get lovey if in a relationship and bummed if you're not. Screw that. I haven't been in a relationship in months; what makes today any different from any other day? I was fine with being single then and I'm fine with it now. Who says I need the presense of another to validate my existence. I am a being unto myself after all.
Besides, the holiday is just like Christmas and Thanksgiving, deformed and skewed from it's original purpose. I can't remember: did St Valentine send candy and teddy bears to Christians who were being violently persecuted? I know personally that little hearts that say 'Be Mine' and taste like chalk make me feel better after my feet are cut off. Was it that or messages of true love and encouragement to stay faithful. As much as I am tempted to go with the first choice, I'm going to have to go with the second. I bet if St. Valentine could see what his Day would be turned into, he would be none too pleased; the whole thing is contrary to the point. He was doing something genuinely good and meaningful and it gets turned into this load of shit. He might even have thought twice about doing it. It really just goes to show that someone can do something purely and genuinely meaningful and it can still be roped, saddled, and riden into the ground in order to suit corporate America. So here's a big "I don't give a good Goddamn shit!" to the holiday of St Valentine.
I hope everyone has a great day because today is not unlike any other, so don't feel bad just because society defines it as the appropriate reaction for being single on it's bastardization of a truly meaningful day that commemorates a noble gesture to those who suffered.
EDIT @ 553PM: Unrelated, but i didn;t want to make a new post. I realized how derogatory the term "straight" is. As if to imply that in order to be gay a person is broken or bent. It's one of those little things that you never think about, but it's actually a very prejudiced nomenclature. Okay, that's it from me today.

I woke up and after rearranging my room, I did homework. That's right, I worked on it all day. It was all reading because I have a paper due on Thursday that I hadn't even touched yet. I'm not waiting until the last minute! Yay me!! Hopefully this will help me remedy my severe procrastination problem.
My room looks awesome now. There's a lot more space and my computer set-up isn't nearly so cramped.
What else is worth noting? Erm, well nothing really. Oh, Kale you haven't answered my question about boozery.

Things I plan on buying with the money from MY NEW JOB:
~iBook (That one might take awhile)
~Car (That one will take even longer)
~Misc. anime and Harry Potter related paraphernalia
~Books! Yay! Everyone loves books!
~Re-piercing my eyebrow (Let's face it, that looked good)
~Tattoo because I'm such a damn rebel
~BBQ wings from Domino's (mmmmmmmmm.... barbeque...)
~Thrift store clothes (I haven't finished revamping my clothing style yet)
In case anyone was wondering which no one probably was, here are a couple of my tattoo ideas:
Again, if you were wondering, I wanted to get it on my back just above the center of my shoulder blades. Both of those are symbols of Buddhism, by the way

Gio snores so it can get really annoying while I'm up trying to do homework. I breathe through my mouth when I'm sleeping. I'd rather wake up with a mouth tasting like crap (which goes away with brushing) than snore. Maybe that's just me.

I went out to get Panda today. (Yum! ^_^) The funny thing was that my fortune said, "An unexpected romance will find you in the New Year." Thanks a lot for ruining it you faux-Chinese foo assholes!!!.... I'm just kidding, I love you Panda, please still let me eat you... SO, doesn't my knowing about this so-called "unexpected" romance kind of negate it? Oh well, my expectations were low anyways.
You know what's fun about being me? My beliefs make me doubly misunderstood. Not in that bad way, but in that annoying, having to explain it kind of way. Because 1) I'm Buddhist, which very few people in America have any proper working knowledge of what that's all about. And 2) I believe in Communism, and according to the majority of people, that's a bad thing. Why? Because they don't understand it. I guess that's the price you pay for having individual thoughts. Forshame on me.

Josephus214 (9:53:31 PM): Who else are you talking to?
Josephus214 (9:53:47 PM): Is it the Pope? Because if not I don't see how it would be more imporant than my Pepsi drama
PeridotTears (9:36:27 PM): so whatcha up too now?

For all of you who said it, I can tell you that you're right. It's been psychologically proven by the most accurate personality assessment there is.
I am an introvert as well as indecisive. To be more precise I am an introverted, intuitive, feeling perciever. So whenever anyone accuses me of being anti-social, indecisive, and a procrastinator I can say "Hell yes I am: psychologically proven bitches."
