Welp...

Note to self:

When attempting to communicate to someone that their budget is 20 dollars. MAKE SURE TO EMPHASIZE THAT IT'S 20 DOLLARS! NOT MOVIES!

Do'h.

Well that lovely trip ended up costing me a little more than I had hoped.

Oh well, at least I'm getting paid back in a week.

The Bradley Video in El Sobrante was having a moment's notice going out of business sale where everything was like 1-5 dollars. That includes new releases.

I picked up a few movies.

Sadly, because my friend had misunderstood that her budget was 20 dollars not 20 movies, I ended up spending more than I thought I was going to and couldn't get more of the movies I wanted.

Oh well.

Shit I don't need anyway.

So this week I'm working at the salon in Antioch :)

It's something to do, right?

ARGGG!!

Dood.

So I'm standing in line at the post office this morning. The line was pretty long and there was one person ahead of me before the counter.

This larger black lady cuts the entire line because I guess she was given some forms to fill out and was told she could come back to the counter when finished.

So we're all waiting and the postal worker tells the lady that her p.o. box is going to cost like 35 dollars and then 2 dollars for the keys. Bringing her total to 37 dollars.

The lady says that she was told it was only 19 dollars.

The postal worker asks where she heard that.

The lady says oh well I have a p.o. box in sacramento and it's only 19 dollars a month there.

The postal worker politely informs her that since sacramento is a different district their boxes cost a different amount.

So then the lady starts talking about how that's because Sacramento is a prodominately white city so therefore everything else is cheaper. Taxes, gas, housing, etc. And that since Hercules is closer to Richmond, Oakland and Etc. All the " Black " neighborhoods and cities that everything is more expensive. ETc.etc. This continues for like 5 - 7 minutes while the postal worker finishes the lady's paperwork without a word about the race-related rant this lady is going off on to a philipino customer standing next to her.

I really REALLLLLLY wanted to just yell SHUT THE FUCK UP! EVERYONE KNOWS HERCULES IS ABOUT AS FUCKING WHITE AS THEY COME! GET OFF YOUR DAMN SOAPBOX AND MOVE ALONG SO THE REST OF US CAN GET DONE WHAT WE NEED TO DO! NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT RACE! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

Ug.

People just annoy me.

Sigh...

I'm feeling lonely and slightly dejected.

I know I should be happy and whatnot. ( yay for the new hairstyle ) but nothing is more of a downer for me than coming home to an empty home with no plans..

I have nothing planned this weekend. And that makes me feel down.

So I dunno.

I guess I'm just gonna go read some more of harry potter and maybe put on one of the movies to have it playing in the background...

Meh.

Meanwhile, I'm not allowed to wash my hair for like 3 days!

Bleh.

So yah.

I got an A+ in my Speech Class.

My teacher said I was her model student.

I guess I should be happy.

I'm really kind of bummed though because my unemployment check didn't come today and it would have really made my life easier so I could get things done tomorrow. Oh well. I guess I have to deal with it if it comes tomorrow.

ug. And Brent isn't going to his grandma's tonight like he usually does so he's like here... and granted it's his apartment too. But I just really didn't want to have to like be in his presence. He just irks me.

Oh well.

Things that make me happy....

Here's a couple of things that make me happy as of today...

First, the fact that I'm doing a FUCKING awesome speech today in speech class. :)

Second, The fact that Keroppi is playing a lot with the other kitties as well as amusing himself. I know this because they were playing gladiator games on the arm of the sofa. You know the one, the two fighters stand on little poles and poke eachother with oversized q-tips hoping to knock the other one off. Then the gladiator match moved to the floor where him and Tsunami did a small WWE wrestling match which ended with Keroppi having a little black tuft of fur in his mouth and Tsunami laying on her side.

Then, as if that wasn't enough playtime for the normally uninterested kitty, he casually hopped on my computer desk and did the lovely, I'm gonna sit on your mouse so you have to rub my tummy trick.

I rewarded this by trying to further his playing. I grabbed his favorite toy of all time, a ballpoint pen! Sqee's were heard throughout the house :) SQUEE!

He playing with the pen for a good while. Which made his mommy very happy in the hopes that he's feeling better :)

Third, I have the BEST boyfriend ever! ohmygod :) I'm so madly in love with Loren, it should be illegal. I LOVE LOREN!!! AND I DON'T CARE WHO KNOWS IT!!! :) hehe... yah yah yah. I can be a sappy fucker too.

( how do you fuck sappy? ahem. )

Fourth, Brent is gone for the night so that means I can be rebellious and run around in my underwear. Yay for the moments when the roommate is gone :)

And finally, Fifth, I have leftovers from Macaroni Grill that the aforementioned wonderful boyfriend took me to dinner at last night. YAY! :)

( Oooo, look who FINALLY learned to use some basic html. Jesus Jessica, took you long enough. hehe )

And now. I write my outline and get all gothified for class!

Where is my damn loli crown?! :)
awesomesprout: (WOOT!)
2005-07-26 10:29 pm

Yay....

So tomorrow is the day we give our last speeches in class.

And then it's the last day of class! :)

We're doing special occasion speeches.

I'm doing mine as an acceptance speech for the 2005 Miss Cheeriest Goth USA pageant. Yay for making stuff up :)

We have to list like 3 memories n stuff...

So I'm going to talk about how I invented the scientific method for rehydrating dried black roses to bring them back to life.

How I helped develop a permanant black eyeliner.

And finally, helped organize and put on the black cat adoption drive and every cat adopted gets a matching black collar.

Hehe :)

I'm gonna dress all goth and do my speech :)

I'm gonna try and dig up my loli crown and wear that too :)

Mwahahhha!

Kitty goodness...

So Keroppi is sitting here on top of my computer mouse. ( Irony, woot! ) He's basically making it so that in order for me to move the mouse I have stick my hand under his tummy. Which he seems to enjoy because he keeps sitting in the same spot.

Now the creepy thing is, he's got his head cocked to one side.. and he's just looking at me.....

I feel like he's about to slime me or something....

Small changes....

A friend of mine owns a salon and she's the only person that I will let near my hair these days.

I have an appointment next Friday to have my hair straightened and cut. Then if all goes well I'm going back about a week or so later to have my hair highlighted.

I'm slightly terrified. But I'm eagerly awaiting the process.

In return for the about 600 dollars or so of work that's being done to my head ( the cut and straighten are 500 alone ) I'm going to be working at my friend's salon as a receptionist in the break between semesters.

The salon is in Antioch so when I return to school it'll work well with my school schedule should my services still be needed.

So we'll see how that goes. She assures me that no one's hair has ever fallen out that she's straightened. And my hair is tough as nails when it comes to the torture I put it through when I'm feeling like I need to change myself.

I'll finally have straight hair. I'm excited :)

Will post pics.

She said the process should take about 8-9 hours.

eep :)

2005-07-21 01:02 pm

Hmmm....

So I'm applying to this BDSM playhouse just to see if they'll take me. The hours would work with my school schedule and it's something I've done in a playhouse setting before. So I'm comfortable with it.

I wonder what the application process is... They hand you a bra and say, " Here, fill this out. "

haha :)

I love that joke.

I must give credit to Pablo Francisco for that one when he was talking about what it takes to get a job at hooters...

The first part is true tho :)

Ug.

So it seems everyone's in a funk.

Mine is about a particular person. While I know I shouldn't waste any time thinking about how much I dislike things about them or how I feel that if people saw this person's bad side that they'd probably back off much like I did.

Ug.

It's starting make me not want to attend events that I know this person is going to be at. Which is shitty because they're saying they're going to be at pretty much all of them.

Yah. I'm a catty bitch. I don't care.

I just don't feel like showing up somewhere and having to avoid someone. It's a waste of time.

And I really don't like how freakin buddy buddy this person is with everyone when the moment someone does something to piss that person off, they totally freak out.

Or like suddenly they're best friends with people they used to talk incessant shit about.

Whatever. I'm gonna go work out.
awesomesprout: (WOOT!)
2005-07-20 07:56 pm

Woo today.

So I finished all my homework and finally got my butt to class. Did my speech it went really well!

Yay for doing well.

So we got out of class way early and I went and watched Charlie and Chocolate Factory.

Twas fun except I really wish I didn't have the feeling of: "Oh Joy, I paid 6.25 to listen to the group of stupid bitches behind me narrating the entire fucking movie or feeling the need to laugh obnoxiously loud at EVERYTHING. Oh, and let's not forget the whole needing repeat the last word of every one of Willy Wonka's sentances and then laughing about it. "

But. My cell phone went off during the movie and shut them up for a few moments. I felt justified.

The movie was good. I would have enjoyed it more if they hadn't been talking behind me.

It felt rushed, just as I thought it would be.

Other than that. It was a good time.

Also, I told Brent that while I appreciate his help to stop doing my dishes. He said that's fine and agreed to stop :)

Problem Solved.

Now it's time to eat dinner and do some reading for school.

Wee!
