I'm really starting to become annoyed by NBC AND the people watching/commenting on the Olympics.
I'm tired of hearing about the disputed ages of the Chinese gymnasts. I'm tired of hearing the "Did Micheal Phelps really win his 7th race?" crap, and most importantly, I'm absolutely freaking tired of the whole "medal count" thing.
And @ NBC telecasters:
"So Jason Lezak, how does it feel to know that you had a hand in helping Michael Phelps realize his dream-- to earn eight Olympic gold medals?" Are you freaking kidding me? And it didn't end with Lezak. You freaking asked I don't know how many different guys the same question. Why would you repeatedly insult people to their faces like that? Have you guys honestly NOT considered the fact that maybe these men were more worried about the ENTIRE team than helping Michael Phelps realize his dream? For crying out loud! Even freaking Michael Phelps has tried to shift attention from himself in order to make you ******** realize that they were swimming as a team...and not just for his benefit.
Why can't people just congratulate these athletes, from all around the world, for a job well done and let things rest? Mongolia for winning it's first medal ever? Jamaica for being so successful in track and field? Stephanie Brown Trafton for being the first U.S. woman to win gold in the discus throwing competition since 1932?
People are just amazing.
Perhaps I should just stick to the opening and closing ceremonies (as I did with the Athens Olympics) and not even bother with the actual games. I'd much rather spare myself the headache.

WTF?!
Instead of doing something productive, I decided to find a YA series that I'd started as a teen, but never finished...for whatever reason. I picked up The Dark Angel Trilogy by Meredith Ann Pierce from my job and prepared myself to be dazzled. It started off great! I couldn't get enough the series and finished the first two books in record time. But then the third book just went and f*cking ruined it for me. Talk about being one pissed b*tch.
The heroine was majorly screwed from the time she left her mother's arms to the very end of this series.
Five stars for the first two books, minus two for the crappy ending.
I could have been reading something else.

Well, the stalker guy was finally arrested for, and get this, harassing a female patron. Apparently he was causing a bit of a scene and was kindly asked to remove himself from the premises. Of course he refused, hurling an endless stream of obscenities at the officer on duty all the while. He was then escorted from the library and into the back of a police car by two officers. Hopefully I'll never have to see him again.
The end--
P.S. The L'arc concert in Paris....I want to go so badly T__T. Oh well, maybe next time. When life makes you it's personal bitch, what else can you do, right?

disappointed
I really want to see L'arc~en~ciel perform live T___T. I was supposed to go Hong Kong and see them, but (as always *damn it*) something came up. It's another money issue, obviously. With the way that things are right now, either my sister or I would have been able to go. Not the two of us together like we'd initially planned. We both decided not to go; as opposed to having one float away on an intense wave of satisfaction, while leaving the other here to wallow in self-pity alone. I would never do that to her. As much as we've been through over the past couple of years, we're pretty serious about taking each other's situations into consideration. I will definitely pay life back ten-fold for screwing me~ *Mwuaaaaahahahahahahahahahaaaaa* But yeah...
No Ken-chan....
No Yukihiro- chan....
Tet-chan.....
No chibi Hyde *sob*
Well, I guess I can hang on to the little mg of hope that I have of them coming back to the US. Please guys! ...Yeah right. Even I'm not that delusional....

Would I be asking too much of the lovely film crew outside if I begged them to go f*** themselves? Should it really have taken me 15 minutes to cross the street and get back to my job? Should they really have closed down my bank (along with the ATM) three hours early for that s***? Should I have been barred from going into the parking garage to get into my car because they were "utilizing the facilities"? Should I really have been hit on by a local cop (who was obviously older than my very own father, mind you) simply because I asked him when I could cross the street to get back to my job? I don't think that my asking such a question should have prompted an answer such as "Do you wanna be in the movie? We can put you in the movie!"?

Every single time I shifted over he shifted right with me. He was standing so close to me that if I would have farted then he would have died from direct contact with the second-hand smoke. He was so blatant about it too. Whatever happened to shame? Modesty? Subtlety? Caring whether or not you look like a jerk? For crying out loud -__-'...

sick
I guess that running through firework smoke in 20+ degree weather on New Years day was by far the stupidest thing that I've ever done. Not only am I having sinus/allergy headaches the size of King Kong's balls, but I'm also suffering from a soar throat, runny/bloody nose, excessive sneezing, ringing ears, watering eyes, and coughing my freaking LUNGs up. I've blown my nose so much within the last two days that I have to use dampened tissues to keep the scabs from bleeding. Yes, I have scabs around my nostrils -__-'. You can't see them unless I lift up my head and show them to you though *see*. I didn't have any Vaseline available, so I got the bright idea to put cucumber melon lotion on it instead. What the hell was I thinking? As soon as I put the crap on my nose, it started to tingle and burn. Totally forgetting where I was I started shouting "Oh God! It burns! It burns!". My boss popped her head in with a "WTF?" look on her face and asked me if everything was alright. I just smiled and nodded, then started pecking away on my computer to make her think that I was doing work. How embarrassing. She thinks that I'm a total flake today.
Well, whatever. I feel like hell. So its alright.
I've been drinking hot tea all day and it helps until like 20 minutes after its all gone. Then its on to the next cup. That makes six right now (kidney failure here I come!)
You know what the worse part of today has been? Whenever I think that I'm finished with all of my work for the day (hoping that I can use some of my sick time and go home early), I'm bombarded with a ton of books. First loans, then transfers, and now returns....1 hour before I'm supposed to go home. Am I being punished or something? Please tell me so I can apologize, swear my loyalty and graciousness to whomever and be done with feeling like a humongous piece of shit on a stick.
Maybe I'll just entertain myself with HYDE/L'arc en ciel videos on youtube until its time for me to go home. Crap on the returns. They can wait (T__T).

pissed off
I'm still so fucking pissed off right now. Why do people play around and never say what's on their mind? We are the only animals (that we know of) who have the ability to talk...yet no one ever does the shit. I love my friends to death, I really do, but right now I just feel like bitch slapping the whole lot of them. "Well, we just feel like you've been really pushy and abrasive lately. That's why we haven't really been responding to you that much...." Come on now, seriously. Did it take all five of you guys to tell me that? After I've been trying to get you guys out of the house since the beginning of May? Don't give me the run around. Just tell me you don't want to be bothered for a while or whatever. You've been knowing me forever, so you know I can take it. But what I absolutely can not take is the fact that in reality they just wanted to spend time with their freaking boyfriends or new friends or drug buddies or whatever and tried to use my attitude as an excuse to ditch me. And when I called them on it they had the nerve to try and act surprised and hurt. I don't give a damn if I hurt your feelings! Suck it up! What the hell did you expect? Like you have the right to be offended.....please. Is this being pushy and abrasive?: "Hey, if you're not busy or anything this evening do you want to catch a movie or something?" I don't think so, right? I'm not pissed at the fact that they just wanted to ditch me. Not at all. But I'm really pissed at them for trying to make it seem like I was just being a demanding bitch or something. And that ain't even the half of what I had to sit there and take from them....
Did I tell them these things to their faces? Yes, I did. Otherwise it would make me an even bigger hypocrite than them. Do I care whether or not I hurt their feelings? Hell no! They deserved it! How dare you guys pull something like that on me after all we've been through together. What the fuck is this? Trample all over me summer or something? Lousy little...whatever. I don't care anymore. What the hell is a friend anyway?
I'll spend the summer with my sister and just ignore them like I do just about everyone else. I'm not in the mood for kissing up or apologies or any kind of bullshit like that. Anyone who treats someone who's supposed to be their friend like this deserves to be punched in the fucking face. And it almost happened.
I haven't hung around you guys since we graduated two years ago and this is what I get? This isn't some teen drama girls. We're adults! Grow the hell up and stop playing the blame game. I'm over that already!
They can all just kiss my ass. I'm done playing 'nice and patient'.
Screw all of you guys.

drained
Okay, I need a new job. Whenever I go through the "I can do this" --> "I'm not sure about this" --> "I hate this" --> "I don't really care, as long as I get a paycheck" --> "Come on, get outta bed. Time to go to work *curse* *curse*" stages, that usually means that it's time to find something else. I've never had a job that requires my having to talk myself into walking through the door every morning. I plan to be out of there by July 1st at the latest...if I'm not fired first. They love to do that on a daily basis.
Anyway, it's been ages since I last posted anything here. I worked 6/7 days for two straight weeks. From 9 am - 9 pm to be exact. 12-hour shift....doing something that I'm not all that crazy about tends to drain the shit out of me. I'm done with over time...even if I earn $@@/hour by doing so. It's not worth the headache...trust me.
So I watched 3/8 of those movies that were supposedly "too scary to be shown in theaters". Well, and this may surprise you but, they're not. The three movies that I watched were "Nasty Little Things", "Penny Dreadful:, and "The Gravedancers". First of all, "The Gravedancers" made me laugh so hard that my stomach started to cramp. The premise was pretty good, but the movie itself was just...I dunno *lol*. I love the movie, but not for the same reasons that most people tend to like certain scary movies. "Nasty Little Things" was pretty good. All the while I was cheering for the little ghosts because they were wronged. The only characters that I could stand were the ghosts and the little kid. "Penny Dreadful" is about the only one that's actually kind of creepy so far. The main character and the lady that she was traveling with could have completely and totally avoided the situation by simply using their common freaking sense. But hey! If they had been smart then the movie would probably would only have lasted for about 30-minutes.
Anyway, the only thing that I've had time to do lately is watch Adult Swim and bits and pieces of certain movies/tv shows. Other than that I have nothing entertaining to say. Brain damage is not fun at all.

Man I tired. My manager is so.....fugging....sloooooow. I hate closing with that one particular lady. I love her to death, but she just makes me want to rip my damn hair out. I LIKE GOING HOME OKAY! Get the lead out! Shit!
Um, I just discovered something today: People are assholes.
I want to take a vacation somewhere, but where? My dad and sister are open for it, but I have no idea where to start. Suggestions anyone? (Anywhere but hell...I already live in Louisiana).
I like Tsubasa with meat on him. Tsubasa is Tsubasa, so people should really chill the freak out. Geez. Give the guy a break.
When's the super bowl? I'm usually on top of it, but I haven't the slightest clue this year. I need to ask for that day off. **Side note --> No boobs this year please.
There a girl in the bowling alley that keeps flirting with me. *sigh* It's a plague that I just can't seem to runaway from -__-'.
I wonder if my friend ever got her package O__o?? I really don't feel like cursing the teller at the post office out. She screwed up so many times with my paper work that I'm not even sure if the package will make it to it's rightful destination.
Kanjani8 is an okay group. I'm slowly starting to appreciate them in a sense.
Thought about getting a kitten, but I know that we'd end up hating each other. Two stubborn old cats in one house won't cut it.
This was the most random ass post that I've ever written. Then again, it is 1:15 am and I only got like...4 hours of sleep the night before. Sleep deprivation at it's best people.

talkative
Yesterday I had a blast. I didn't do anything fancy, but I had a chance to spend some time with my family. We went out at like 6:30 - 7:00 pm and lit fireworks. Apparently my next door neighbor is more of an insane asshole than I'd originally thought; i.e. this crazy bitch put bricks along the side of her drive way because she thought that we had been driving across the thing o__O???? Okaaaaaaay. We never go anywhere near this broad's drive way. No one's ever home during the day! We all work! My sister was like "We should take the extra bricks from our shed and just build her a nice little wall. *lol* XD Anyway, she packed all 69 of her little trolls into her little "doo-doo-brown-though-it-should-be-white"Toyota and got the hell out of dodge. I guess we were too loud? *lol* I told my sister that if I had known that that was all that it took to get her the hell away from us, I would have done it earlier. She's a freaking psycho. I kid you guys not. This lady stands in her yard and just stares at us/our house for several minutes at a time. *Creepy* Anyway, my sister had baked a home made lasagna and some home made garlic bread. Everybody came in, washed up, and then ate like we hadn't had food in years. So delicious. I must have gained like 10lbs yesterday alone. We got to talk about lots of different things too. It was nice. Things haven't been that way for a long time....
I had to work for a little while yesterday, but (believe it or not) the customers were actually pretty cool. This one lady must have talked about her husband so badly that I had tears coming out of my eyes. "You need to take that hat off because you look like a hot mess. Do you see him sweetie? Doesn't he look like Uncle f*cking Fester?" XD! Oh man, the joys of love. I tell you.
Oh yeah, that reminds me: .

In other news, I've decided to teach myself at least two/three different languages this year. Well, actually my goal is to get to at least a semi-advanced level. I have confidence in myself *nods*. Since I already have a pretty good foothold in Japanese, I figured that I'd go for Spanish (especially because I live in the deep south) and either Italian or Korean. I don't have the heart to even attempt Chinese or Taiwanese. I would love to learn both of those languages, but I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too old to even attempt it.
I've also signed up for dance lessons and Tae Kwon Do *lol*. We'll see how that turns out. I was thinking about maybe taking up boxing again. Yeah, again. For those of you who don't know, my dad's an ex-"Golden Glove Boxer" and.....a something degree black belt in karate. He even got to meet Bruce Lee when he was living in Houston....but erm, my uncles (who are much younger than my dad) destroyed the picture that they took together. The little bastards!!!!! My grandmother used to talk about it all the time. My dad's so lucky....But anyway, I need to start boxing again. I wonder if dad has time to help me out again.
I still want to get my Ph.D./M.D., but there's a graduate program that has been calling out to me for the past few months. I'm scared to talk to my old Cellular Biology prof (who has made several good things happen for me as far as my participation in labs and stuff goes) about it. She'd shit golden bricks if I told her that I wanted to put science off for two years just so I could get a Master's in ******** ********** and ***********. I don't even feel comfortable saying it aloud, let alone putting it in my lj. I need some time to think about this more seriously.
Well, I'm off. I don't have to go back to work until Saturday (at either job), so it's time for me to go and be extremely lazy now. Don't you think I deserve it? :)

f***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can somebody please tell me why the people at gateway took it upon themselves to "replace" my CD/DVD combo-drive when I sent it in to be serviced a few months ago only to have them give me a defective one that has nothing but the working CD drive? That's right! The CD/DVD-combo drive doesn't have a DVD drive XD!!!!!!!!! It's supposed to, but it doesn't! WTF?! I tried to make DVDs from our family reunion files and the freaking thing doesn't even recognize DVD-R/RW's. What the hell is that?!
They're going to send me a replacement part that I have to install myself; which is just fine by me because I could probably do a much better job. But I mean shit. Can you at least make sure that the thing works before you send it back to the owner(s)? Granted, it took me over two months to realize that the damn thing wasn't working. But I didn't need to use it before now! XD! I called tech support and sat on the phone with them for over an hour. It even came down to me having to open the tower up and unplugging/plugging things up from the motherboard and the CD/DVD combo drive. Alas, it was determined that the f****** thing doean't even work. It's defective. *Sigh* Have you ever just felt like throwing you PC/Mac out of the window? I have -__-'
