So, I've been doing a lot of blogging recently it seems. Not sure why really. Just something to fill the time I imagine. Coming up with something to write about helps keep my mind off of things.
So, today was my first day back at Futureshop. It was funny how quickly everything came back. Most of my computer skills were just muscle memory, I don't even know what I was typing. Sadly I have not been given a schedule yet, so I don't know when I'm working next. At the very least I know I'm not working tomorrow or someone would have asked me or said something.
I couldn't sleep last night, which wasn't wholly unusual. It's been getting better gradually, but I'm still not sleeping very well yet. Last night I got no sleep at all, which sucked. I was dead tired at work today. I'm dead tired right now honestly. However, I need to keep myself awake for a little longer so I can go to sleep at the proper time. I love naps more than just about anything, but I can't take them, or I'll not be able to sleep when I'm supposed to.
Man, tonight's blog has just been packed with tales of interest, I'm sure both of my readers are riveted. I shall make an effort to create a more interesting blog... ahh, I know:
So I was attacked by ninjas on my way home from work tonight. Fucking ninjas. Here I am all minding my business and these black pajama clad assholes just gotta get all up in my grill. So I'm tired and stuff, but when ninjas start acting like they own the sidewalk, it's time to throw down. Luckily for me, the ninjas made one terrible mistake right from the start: They attacked me in a group. Now, the inverse ninja law clearly states that the combat effectiveness of a ninja is inversely proportional to the number of ninjas. Hence, the more ninjs there are, the less effective they become. This is why groups of ninjas can be dispatched with ease, while a single ninja is a formidable opponent.
So yeah, I was just all "Waaaaahhhh Jedi!" on their asses. It was brutal. Then I totally got like 10 high fives and, ummm, 12 women wanted to make out with me, but I had to get home and make dinner... So I only made out with 9.
Fiction is fun. Stay tuned for more pointless blithering. I like towels. |

Thursday. Never could get the hang of Thursdays. This particular Thursday wasn't too bad. I had a pretty decent day to be perfectly honest. I got to spend the day with my friend Keli which was nice because we don't get to hang out that often, and she was generous enough to go out with me and buy me some groceries which was entirely too kind of her. So, I have food in my fridge!
Keli tried to introduce me to "The Office" today. The Office is very funny, there's just one problem... Me. See, here's the thing about me. I am burdened with an over abundance of empathy. This isn't usually a problem. However, when confronted with that particular niche of comedy concerned with embarrassing actions, it becomes a huge obstacle. It is the reason I can't watch movies like "Meet the Parents" or "American Pie" and such. These movies are centered around characters doing thoroughly embarrassing things, while often being completely oblivious too how embarrassed they should be. I don't suffer from that blindness and therefor feel that embarrassment for them. I cringe, I look away, I groan, I try to make myself not hear the horrible things they're saying as they dig themselves deeper into pits of pure embarrassment. It's uncomfortable and exhausting. The Office is exactly this kind of program. Characters doing and saying things that should have them feeling exceptionally embarrassed were it not for their own inability to feel such. Funny show, I wish I could watch it.
To make up for my inability to watch The Office, I introduced Keli to Cute with Chris. Maybe some of you have heard of it, but it's new to me an I've been loving it. I recommend it, go check it out. Or just look down.
Okay, going back to the Future tomorrow, so I best get some sleep. G'night everyone, all my dreams are dead. |

So, it's official now. I am back at the Futureshop. Retail at Christmas, I must be out of my bloody mind. Oh well, money is money. Granted I'm now going to be earning considerably less than I had been previously, but that can't be helped.
The real problem comes from the fact that my first paycheck is only going to have about 8 hours on it, as my first shift falls on the last day of this pay period. This means that my first real paycheck won't arrive until December 1st. Considering I currently have $-18 in the bank, this poses a problem in terms of my continued life functions.
You know what? Money sucks. It really does. Worse than money is debt. I'm currently trying to dig myself out of debt and have been for a while. Now I'm going to be making too little, I'll be able to maintain, but not improve. That sucks.
The real hell of it is, even if I were to sell off all of my possessions, I'd still not have enough to clear my debt. So what would be the point? If I'm going to be in debt, I may as well be comfortably in debt. I swear, if I could go back and change one thing, I'd never ever get a credit card. Credit cards are pure evil in plastic form.
Anyway, time for bed. Tomorrow is Thursday, and I never did get the hang of Thursdays. |

Well kids, it looks like this ape descendant is gonna be heading back to Futureshop for the time being. It's this pesky money thing. My mortgage demands to be paid, as do the rest of my bills. Such being the case I can no longer wait to find a decent paying job. That doesn't mean I'm going to stop looking of course, it just means that I can no longer put off taking a regular job in the meantime.
Dunno what I'll be doing at the shop yet, depends on where they want to put me, but at least that's one monkey off my back. Which is good because I now have less than 2 dollars to my name. I went nuts today and blew my remaining cash on a jug of milk. Crazy I know, I'm impulsive like that.
So, anyone who has a retardedly high paying job that needs doing, please feel free to invite me aboard the gravy train. Until then, I'll be heading back to the future. |

Still unemployed. Now also entirely broke. Groceries are running low. I'd say things can't get any worse, but every time I've said that for the past several months, they have, and with my parents out of the Country I dare not tempt fate, who knows what could happen. I have a decent amount of alcohol in my fridge, I'm going to go drink all of it now. g'night everybody. |

Timing. I don't have it. So, I'm at a point now where, while I'm still hurt and I still miss what I had, I don't want her back. This is good I think. I figure it's perfectly natural to feel that way. So now I'm left to thinking about what I'm going to do now. Do I sit around feeling sad for myself, or do I think about moving on. The whole sad thing blows, so moving on seems to be a better notion.
Moving on is easier said than done. I only know like 2 girls I'd even be interested in dating, and neither one of them is interested in me I'm sure. The really sad thing for me is, the one I like the best, the one I have the most in common with... She might have been interested... Before... when I was still engaged. And now that I'm not. Now that I'm actually in a place where I'd like to try dating perhaps, well, I think it's just too late. She's seen me at my worst now, and I can't imagine she'd be interested anymore. Not to mention most of my efforts to pursue our friendship over the course of the summer were fruitless. Oh well, she's a busy girl with her museum and stuff and I don't suppose I'm a terribly good fit for her life.
Always seems like timing is against me.

| » Recovery and optimism |
|---|
So, I'm almost recovered now. And I've been called in for a second interview with a place that pays better than my previous job. So, fingers crossed on that. Also, I have now completed my costume, and it is so sexy I'm almost afraid to wear it, lest I find myself torn apart by ravenous women, like in an axe bodyspray ad. I'll post some pictures probably this weekend. So, things are looking up I hope. I'm trying no to be too optimistic given my track record, but it would be nice if I were finally through the last of it.

Well, the cosmic joke that is my life continues. Today I got fired. Seems I've missed too much work. None of it within my control of course, but that doesn't matter.
You know, it's really hard to stay optimistic when life continually bludgeons me when I'm already down. Hopefully I will find new employment quickly, my mortgage has this thing about being paid monthly. Picky I know, but it seems to be important.
This had all better be leading up to one hell of a punch line.

Home from the hospital, jiggity jig. Yeah, you know who doesn't like hospitals? This guy. You know who doesn't like IV's? Also this guy.
I've been pretty retardedly sick for the past few days. Last night my fever hit 105, so I decided it was probbly time to seek medical attention. Seems I was really dehydrated amongst other things, which surprises me considering how much water and juice I was drinking. Anyway, spent the night with an IV in my arm and stuff. I don't feel a whole lot better, my throat is sore and I'm coughing up unspeakable things. At least my fever is going down, huzzah!
So, what to talk about in today's little blog. Ooh, I got it. I just picked up Metroid for the Wii. It's pretty sweet. You end up feeling very much like you're in the game thanks to the control scheme. I'm sure it must be hilarious to watch, because it's impossible to play this game without falling into that superhero-esque stance of cat like readiness. Loads of fun, and if I weren't so sick you know that's what I'd be doing with my time.
What I *have* been doing with my down time is watching cartoons and "Planet Earth" which is a very beautiful and thoroughly boring documentary about you guessed it, planet Earth. Totally worth watching for the visuals, but not truly as interesting or engaging as say Blue planet was. Still, watching it in HD makes it all the more impressive.
Clone high is very entertaining, and it's a shame it only got the one season. But, it was an MTV production, which is the kiss of death for an animated series unless it's Beavis and Butt-Head or Speed Racer. Same thing happened to Undergrads, another excellent show cut tragically short by virtue of being an MTV production. Life just ain't fair.
Okay, time to watch more cartoons and make some good ol' fashioned hand churned lung butter. Gross.

| » Worst day of my life - Take 2 |
|---|
So, I found out Sunday night that my fiance didn't leave me to "find herself" like she had told me, but had in fact left me for some new guy she's just met. Some white trash nightmare, former meth adict, ugly as fuck, with nasty greasy hair, a face that looks like it's been hit with a shovel, a propensity for wearing nothing but wife beaters, the makings of a very fine unibrow, and some of the saddest facial hair ever to shame a face.
A guy who can only be of interest to her because of his musical ability. Which will be fine until she realizes how much it sucks to be with someone who constantly reminds you that you're talents are meager by comparison. Excellent judgment on her part.
Monday morning she calls me, unaware that I've found out, to see about getting her stuff back. I confront her with my knowledge. She doesn't even seem sorry, more angry that I found out. So, I tell her she can send someone to get her stuff, but not him. He's not welcome in my building. Half an hour later *HE* calls to let me know he's coming to get her stuff. I told him no, I told him he wasn't welcome, and that I would not let him in the building. He came anyway.
Someone let him in to the building, so then he was at my door with her new room mate, poor guy caught in the middle of this ridiculous drama. I told her new guy to leave. He wouldn't. I told him again, same response. I explain to him that I was very clear that he was not to come here, and that if he did not leave I would call the cops. He then threatens me with calling the cops himself (go figure) and further goes on to say he can get in if he wants to and starts trying to force my door. So I call the cops.
I wish it didn't have to come to that. If he would have just left when I asked him too it wouldn't have been necessary. So, he finally leaves, the cops keep him out, I help the unfortunate room mate get all of her shit downstairs and out. In the confusion caused by all that bullshit we forget her bike, end table and book shelf. She's supposedly sending her friend Amanda to pick them up tomorrow. Granted, she had said it would be Amanda today, and that didn't work out so well.
I'm honestly stunned. I had no idea she was capable of being so heartless and callous. What in the world made her think that this was a good idea? What possessed her to send this guy?
The worst part is, if I hadn't found out Sunday night by accident, I would have found out Monday when he showed up at my door. That's how I would have learned that she dumped me for that reject. I never would have imagined it possible that she could be so monumentally stupid, inconsiderate, cruel and heartless. I'm still in shock.

Now she's sending her new guy to pick up her stuff, after I told her I won't let him in the building. What kind of person does that?

Didn't just leave me. Have now found out I was left for another guy. I just want to die.

It's funny how someone can break your heart and you still love them with all the little pieces.
I'm done. No more.

| » My friend |
|---|
I have a friend. She's a sweet girl. Very intelligent, very kind, fun to be around. For the past several month, my friend has had a crush on a boy. He's not a bright boy. He's thoughtless, insensitive, ugly, and eager to get into my friend's pants. There is no reason for my friend to have a crush on this boy, save one. He reminds her of a guy she had a crush on before, who never once took notice of her and treated her poorly. Clearly this is a situation which you'd want to repeat.
This boy is also a stoner. My friend doesn't do or like drugs. A match made in heaven, I know. This boy constantly hurts my friends feelings very badly. He stands her up all the time, then gives her lame, clearly made-up excuses. She cries to me, I comfort her. And then, she forgives him and lets him do it again. This has happened more times than I can count now. On Saturday he stood her up, no call, nothing. She cries to me, I comfort her. The next day he leaves a message, claiming he'd fallen asleep... for 18 hours. She cried, I comforted, she swore right in front of me that she was through, never again.
Today I give her a ride home from school because she feels sick. Guess what? She hung out with that boy last night. Because she was bored. She says "I didn't forgive him". What? If you're hanging out with someone, it is implicit that they have your forgiveness. Doesn't matter if you're still angry, you have forgiven. He's not thinking "Gee, I'm really in the dog house." He's thinking "Man, she's so easy. I can do anything and she won't mind."
So, I get mad at her in the car. She thinks I have no right. Fine. She'll let him stomp on her again. It may be today, tomorrow, next week, but it's coming. Then she'll cry to me again, and I'll comfort. It's like watching a trainwreck that never ends.

You have Bubonic Plague
 How you get it: Close contact with an infected host. Fleas, cats, rats and squirrels are the most common hosts.
Incubation period: 2 to 6 days
Early symptoms: Fever, Chills, Sore throat, Headache, Weakness, Malaise, Nausea, Diarrhea, Gastrointestinal distress, Cough, Bloody sputum, Shortness of breath, Stiff neck
Symptoms at full disease onset: Gangrene and necrosis of areas such as the digits, penis. Bleeding from body openings, red circular lesions form on skin.
Final outcome of this horrible disease: The rosy lesions. "bubos," that have gradually formed on the skin begin to necrotize, turning the skin black, especially in the extremities. Internal lesions become infectious pustules that seep into the bloodstream causing blood poisoning, or "septicemia," and eventually death.
There is nothing you can do now but wait for death to arrive and hope it comes quickly. Make your peace.
