For future reference:
I don't LIKE being used.
So quit it.
I really want this shirt for Halloween. I would even wear it other times than Halloween, except that it's possibly the ugliest color known to man. Oh well.
I wrote out an actual entry before, but blogger was being a bitch. And now I'm too tired and lazy to write it out again. So today, my entry consists of this:
Blogger hates me this week.
I've been home for no more than an hour since about 7:50 this morning. But it was a good day, so I'm not complaining.
Also: Today is my tenth anniversary of living here. How come I STILL feel like the new kid?
So not only did I fucking crash my car this morning, but I went down 80 points in English and 60 points in math on the SAT's.
My dad said that he thinks the picture of me before homecoming that we gave to my grandfather in the hospital really helped him. I wish I had gotten to talk to him today.
Parnassian was fun. Some of the guys made up this game to play when you have nothing to do, you do your scene while someone else stands around doing the funniest, most distracting things possible and you have to stay in character. It's hilarious. I think Matt and Azudi are the best at it, mostly because they just say the dirtiest things possible.
Yesterday was the last day of Miss Saigon at work. One of the cast guys gave the concessions stand a little baggie of Hershey's Kisses and a very sweet note written in sparkly pen (he's in theater, what do you expect?). Aww! I'm going to miss them so much...I think they should stay and do Annie. I don't care that most of the cast is Asian...Annie could be Asian, I swear.
I put "And" at the beginning of sentences a lot. Very bad English.
Let's see, what to write....
My grandfather's okay for now. I'm gonna see him tomorrow.
In the car with my mother this afternoon she mentions that they found a blood clot in my grandfather's leg and he needs to get shots of blood thinning medication. The doctors said he or my grandmother could do it from home, but they both couldn't handle it so he was going to go to the hospital to get his shots.
I just got the most gorgeous dress ever...okay, maybe not ever, but it's VERY pretty and it's going to make everyone at homecoming forget that I'm a dork who's there all by herself.
I'm trying to hide from my dad the fact that I stole his Magnolia CD, which is technically mine since I bought it about four years ago, but decided I hated it and gave it to him. Except now I like it. And if my dad sees me listening to it he'll try and get me into a long boring conversation about music groups (which is always draining because my dad is very into the kind of music they play in supermarkets and elevators and then tells me that my music sounds boring) and I'm just too tired.
In Parnassian rehearsal I got to be a teen alcoholic who says things like "It sucks hard" and "It bites the big one" and then goes and smokes some pot.
You know your life is like a sitcom when you're finally falling asleep at 3 in the morning only to be awakened five minutes later by your cat trying to force your door open by running into it head first.
Fuck.
My mom's the biggest pain in the ass sometimes. She just had to be a teacher, didn't she? I bet if she weren't a teacher she wouldn't make me make charts and shit about colleges.
I'm fidgety. And I feel like writing but didn't really do much today except go to work, come home, and see Molly. Exciting, huh?
"You been screwin' the milkman, he says. He was crazy, he kept on screaming YOU BEEN SCREWIN' THE MILKMAN! And then he ran into my knife! He ran into my knife TEN TIMES!"
Went and saw Sweet Home Alabama with Kaity. Such a corny movie, but I was in the mood for a corny, completely unrealistic and dumb movie, so it was okay. There was this woman behind us on line to buy tickets talking on her cell phone to her son. I can't remember exactly what she said, but it was hilarious. Things like "No, Bobby is not getting in the house. Why do you want to hang out with? You know what kind of stuff he's into. I know he's smoking pot and....NO, he is NOT GETTING IN THE HOUSE. Do you want me to call the parole officer?! Do you wanna end up back where you were?! 'Cause if you let him in the house, that's where you'll end up, back there with him! Alright, that's it, I'm coming home, you know I've let things go before but I'm putting my foot down...I'm coming home...No, I am coming home." and then she got to the ticket booth and bought her ticket, so I guess she didn't go home. Did I mention she sounded like she belonged on the Sopranos? Too funny.
Who's idea was it to make the SAT's at 8 AM on a SATURDAY?! People are dumb.
Remember when everyone used to say "peoples" instead of "people"? Like, "What's up peoples?"
That was interesting. Got there thinking I was going to do a cold reading of whatever they'd given me, then 15 minutes later decided if I did a cold reading I'd be screwed so I went back home, grabbed the only good monologue I had found, and drove back. I honestly couldn't tell you how I did, I was really nervous and at a certain point in the monologue I just stopped being aware of what I was doing or how people were reacting or anything. At least I wasn't nervous anymore. So I don't know what happened at all. I do know that people thought it was the most depressing monologue of all time since it's about a girl who's father accidently killed her mother and then shot himself. You know, sunshiny happy stuff. One girl just looked at me and said "That was the most depressing thing ever, I was almost crying"...oops.
Guess who held a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach today? That's right. You know you're jealous. Ronnie brought them in and came by our bio class and showed them off and some of us held them. I'm very proud of myself for not completely freaking out and dropping the thing and running from the room screaming. 'Specially since I've had nightmares where bugs that look exactly like that start swarming at me and they're really scary. But this was kind of cool, it has little sticky feet and everything. I did give it back to Ronnie pretty quickly, though. But at least I held it instead of squeeling and running away.
So when did my life become a fucking soap opera? Or maybe it's just a soap opera in my head.
I wish I didn't have to go to work tomorrow. Right now I'd really like to curl up in bed with a really good book and read all night and know I didn't have to do anything tomorrow if I didn't want to. I guess that's how this employment thing works, though. Laziness is not an option.
I did lots of stuff today but I'll talk about that later. For now I'll just tell you this:
This past week has been kind of rough, so even though I didn't really feel like going to work, I was looking forward to being nice and distracted by selling candy and burning myself on coffee pots and sitting around talking to people. Of course, when I get to work my boss tells me I'm working the coat room. The coat room means sitting in a little room upstairs and waiting for people to give you their coats (obviously). Except maybe two people actually check their coats and you have to sit up there for an hour and a half by yourself with nothing to do unless you have a book or something, which of course I didn't. It was just me, alone with my thoughts which was really quite frustrating since the only reason I was looking forward to work in the first place was to get away from my thoughts.
So I realized that the burn on my hand looks kinda like in Fight Club when Brad Pitt kisses Edward Norton's hand and then puts that stuff on it that makes it start to burn and he's got this big gross blistery kiss print on his hand...except mine isn't all blistery and gross, just kind of red and weird looking. And nobody was shouting at me about how God doesn't love me when I got it. But it is kinda kiss shaped. So it's sorta the same.
Yay! I can get comments again!
I currently have a big nasty burn on my left hand.
I can't think of anything interesting to write. My day was pretty boring, despite frantically trying to finish my English project by 9th (which I did).
Pet peeves of the day:
My car is broken. Grr.
I think a very cool job would to be a philosopher. Not the kind of philosopher who sits around debating things like "If you clap in a forrest and there's no one around to hear it, will a tree fall down?". I'd like to be the kind of philosopher who randomly spouts out wisdom that become these incredible quotes that people write down in little notebooks and stitch on pillows and samplers and put on posters with funny pictures.
1) Starting time: 8:54 PM
Now I remember. I actually did have something I wanted to write about. Are we EVER going to have Parnassian? 'Cause if we're not and I went through all that appeal shit for nothing I'm going to be EXTREMELY pissed.
I fell asleep for two or three hours. That's good and healthy, isn't it?
Went to Roman Gourmet for lunch today. First it took forever to get parking 'cause Philippe took the last open spot 'cause he's a punk. The pizza was good and they owner guy there is really nice, but the pizza was so hot it burned my entire mouth. Ow. The pain. I'm not talking normal pizza burn, I'm talking second degree burns, at least.
