Stuff

I think I sleep better when my cat sleeps on my bed with me. She gets really snuggly and I think it helps me relax and fall asleep faster.

Closer to You by Brandi Carlile is a good song. It's free this week on itunes, so go get it. Not my usual thing, but I still like it.

My math teacher is German and says "Shanges" instead of "Changes". I like her, though, even though some kids in the class think she goes too fast. I automatically like math teachers pretty often, even if they're supposed to be tough. Weird.

They took Case Closed off of Adult Swim again. Boo.

My Grandmother's birthday was on Sunday. We brought her cupcakes and she walked around telling everyone she was fifteen and grinning. She does that every year and I found it oddly comforting that she still did it.

I have a mole kinda high up on my stomach. It's not like a creepy mole or anything, it's little and not gross at all, in my opinion. I used to hate it and say I was going to get it removed when I was older. Now sometimes I think I should get it removed simply to avoid future problems, but I don't want to 'cause I like it now. It makes me feel kinda unique and if I got it removed my stomach would look like everyone else's and I feel like I wouldn't recognize it. I'm a weirdo, but oh well. And if you're sitting there thinking, "Ew, moles are gross," shut up, 'cause Cindy Crawford made a career of being hot and having a mole. Hush.

I love the song Jupiter by Holst and am listening to it now.

K, that's all. Night.

So far up your ass...

Ever have a moment when you remember some really good line you should have used on someone being a dumb bitch?

Well, I just did. So I'm going to use it now. I was friends with this girl in tenth grade and she had a sleepover birthday party and did not invite me.

So I was sitting at home all by my lonesome and I was online and another friend IM's me from this girl's party and we're talking and then the birthday girl gets on the computer and when I said, "Happy Birthday" she went "Haha, where's my present?" and I just went "Haha" and then ignored her.

And so now, I shall replay that moment as it should have gone:

Robin: Hey, happy birthday!
BdayGrl: haha wheres my present :P?
Robin: Where's my invitation, bitch?

End replay.

That may not have actually been a "really great line" but at leat I feel a little better now.

Good night. :-)

Joseph, say hi so I know you didn't get hurricaned away?

Okay, seriously, I'm pretty sure that Cartoon Network is planning on showing some anime about a guy with an afro who fights crime with his nose hair.

Seriously.

His nose hair.

Yeah, she's a-triflin'....

This is all the stuff that happened yesterday:

The fire alarm went off two times before 8:00 at school yesterday.

A big ole map fell on my western civ. teacher when he tried to pull it down. He got all mad and said it hit him in the arm and went to complain, came back with an ice pack on his arm, and just then was when the fire alarm went off for a third time and he sent us home.

Drove home, sat down for ten minutes, turned around and drove back for math class. That was kinda dumb, but I didn't feel like sitting in the parking lot for an hour and a half.

Got humiliated by my English teacher in front of most of the class for simply asking "Do you know when we'll be getting our papers back?" I posted about that in the entry below this because when I tried to write this I went on a long rant about how rude she was and that made this post stupidly long(er than it already is...sorry).

Anyway, we ended up watching a completely horrible video during English. It was just ridiculous. I think it was made in the early 80's or something and it was just this woman in a little classroom set with some "learners" talking about "Grammer for the business world". Seriously, all she did the entire time was talk into the camera, that was it. Barely anything was in writing and when they did put a definition on the screen it was not up for any decent amount of time to write it down. And she seriously said something like "So sometimes you need certain words to link two phrases together. I think I'll call this a conjunction."

....

WTF?!?!?! DID YOU JUST INVENT CONJUNCTIONS?! That's like me saying "Sometimes I like to use this device to speak with people who are at a different location than I am. I think I'll call this a telephone." And then Alexander Graham Bell gets out of his grave and comes and kicks my ass for being a FRICKIN' MORON.

...

Right. So after that lovely little lesson, we actually got to leave early. Hooray! So I was on my way home all happy that I was getting to leave early, figuring out all the errands I could do and what I wanted for dinner when suddenly I hear this weird noise from the right side of the car. This really loud hissing noise. Followed by this horrible sound.

That's right, my friends, I had gotten a flat tire just barely outside of the town limits. I actually tried to get the car home since I was pretty near, but it was making awful noises and I was slowing everyone behind me down, so I pulled off into this little side street and called my dad to come help me change the tire. That should have been it.

Except the frickin' thing wouldn't come off.

My dad and I are not at all mechanically minded, nor are we all that strong. We were trying our best, really, but we could just not get the stupid nut things off the tire with the tool we have. We had just called triple A and were feeling like utter losers when this guy who lived right next to where I'd parked came over with a bunch of awesome hardcore tools. He had been working on his own car and tried to help us out. He managed to get the nuts (keep your dirty jokes to yourself, I'm begging you) off of the wheel, but then we just couldn't get the wheel off. He was banging it with a hammer and trying to pry it off but it wouldn't budge. It was completely rusted on. We ended up still having to wait for the triple A guy, who managed to get the wheel off by kicking it a lot, whacking it with the spare tire (that was kinda weird), and finally getting this giant metal tool of some sort and attacking the tire with that. And then kicking it some more. So only about three hours after starting my twenty minute drive we finally got home, dirty, smelling like a car, and really having to pee.

But the guy who helped us out was really nice. I kinda feel like baking him cookies or something. Because my dad and I are such losers when it comes to cars and he was very very nice to us.

So basically. Yesterday sucked. And you should make sure that your tires are not rusted on 'cause if they go splat you'll be screwed.

Why people suck...

My English teacher bitched out at me in front of a bunch of people just for asking "Do you have any idea when you think we'll be getting our papers back?" She went on a rant about how that's the most annoying thing you could ever ask a teacher, and it was okay to ask this time 'cause I didn't know, but never ask it again, and how she has like 1200 pages to read and grade. Wtf lady, that's your job, don't bitch about it to me. If you don't want to read all those papers, you shouldn't have assigned them. I have four classes all of whom have reading and homework and papers to do every week, and I don't get paid to do any of that work like you do. You've had my paper for two weeks and just assigned the next paper and I'd like to be able to see my first paper to know what I need to improve on. And there was no reason to bitch out on me in front of the entire frickin' class. P.S. Don't tell me what's the most annoying thing to ask a teacher, my mother's a teacher, I know all about annoying shit that teachers deal with and that's a pretty lame one. And she would never bitch a student out simply for asking a question, whether she thought it was annoying or not.

The class before that she started on a thing about how we should get each other's names and addresses 'cause she doesn't want emails about "I wasn't there, what'd I miss?". She didn't point me out specifically, but I had been absent at the previous class and had emailed her to say "I missed class because I was sick, I'm sorry, is there anything I should do to prepare for the next class?". I emailed her 'cause we'd only had about three classes and I didn't know anyone else to ask. I wasn't actually asking what I missed, just letting her know why I wasn't there and if I should do anything for the next class. I emailed her 'cause she had just been bragging about being online all the time 'cause she's a "webmaster" and that's the best way to get in touch with her blah blah blah. She didn't even answer my email. Then when she asked us to take out the assignment and a few other girls and myself said "We don't have it, we weren't here" she just went "Well, you should have come to class." The whole reason I sent her the damn email was so I would know what was going on and not have her act like I was a slacker!!! Grr.

So anyway, I spent most of the class being pissed off and writing mean things about her in my notebook.

So there.

Dear TBS,

Why are you reenforcing the incorrect usage of the word "gangsta" by middle aged white men? The correct way for a middle aged white man to pronounce "gangsta" is not to pronounce it at all.

Unless he does it while using a British accent.

'Cause then it's kinda funny.

All my love,
Robin

Rough day.

Too tired to explain.

Hope Joseph is safe in Texas.

Night night.

It's kinda disturbing when the ATHF looks directly at you...

At work today I was very conflicted when this guy walked in with his dog but was slightly jerky.

Okay, he wasn't actually jerky, but he put one of his movies in the drop box before he realized he could just hand them to me and then just handed me the other one and I know that is silly but he had a vibe. A curmudgeon-y vibe. Yeah, I saw curmudgeon, yes, I got that word from my mother, do you have a problem with that?

Anyway.

I was conflicted 'cause the guy had this really cute retriever. And usually the rule is kind of that if you bring your dog in the store I automatically like you 'cause I love puppies.

Except I already had a bad vibe about this guy before I saw he had a dog, so I didn't know how to feel about him exactly.

Then I decided that his dog was a bit too skinny for my taste and that he should feed it more. And also the dog was in serious need of a bath 'cause pretty as she was she was rather stinky.

So I decided to just like the dog and not the owner.

My life is so complex.

As they stared at each other's feet....

One of my neighbors who I don't actually talk to all that often but see on social occasions came into the store today and started asking me about school.

I really do hate when people do that.

I am now into the 100's in my book. Working mornings sucks because I have to wake up early, but is good for getting reading done. Also, it's probably good that I have a reason to get up, I don't actually like sleeping till all hours of the afternoon.

I also made a list of movies I have some sort of interest in watching for those days I feel like watching something and can't figure out what. Now I need a list of books. What's a good book to read when I'm done with Wicked?

I like the commercials for Boost mobile saying what would happen if Fat Joe and Eve didn't have Boost when they were kids. 'Cause they clearly didn't as when they were kids the only cell phones around were Zach Morris phones.*

If you know what I mean by Zach Morris phones, you win a prize.

And that prize is my affection.

Because that doesn't cost money.

Because if you thought you'd get an actual prize for that, you are clearly delusional.

(PS I was very lazy right there and did not write my own html...I am a nerd).

*I also like them 'cause they're amusing. But whatever

My cat is awesome 'cause when I was upset and crying while lying in bed at some point earlier in the week she came up to me and started nudging my head with hers all comforting like and snuggling up to me. I <3 my cat, she is a sweetie and tries to make me feel loved when I am sad.

::is a nerd and doesn't care 'cause pets are completely amazing::

The computer is never wrong...

Feeling less yucky today. PMS is a bitch, ain't it?

Went to breakfast with my parents this morning. Mmm, chocolate chip pancakes.

And I worked with Brooke tonight!! Brooke is so much fun. She loves puppies and making fun of everyone as much as I do. Wheeee.

Plus she's way better at dealing with snarky customers than I am.

ie

Customer: No, I took that out on Thursday, why was it due on Wednesday?
Robin: Um, let me check....no, you took it out on Wednesday and it was due the next Wednesday...
Customer: That's impossible, I was at work that day.
Robin: Well, it says you took it out at 10 on Wednesday...
Customer: I didn't!
Robin: I'm just going by what the computer says...
Customer: (sarcasticy) Oh, and the computer's never wrong?
Robin: Uh...Brooke?
Brooke: (looks completely innocently at customer) No, the computer is never wrong. (continues what she was doing)

In other news, it was discovered this morning that my mother, when finding herself at a loss for words, will automatically go to her default of giving me some innane chore to do or errand I have to run. She freely admitted to doing this. Oh, how fun my mother is. But she makes up for it with statements like "Mountain Dew tastes like pee", so it's all good.

I'm very lonely.

Just so you're all aware, the Discovery Health Channel is currently showing something called "You Swallowed What?". This will be followed by the showing of something called "Electric Orgasm".

...

Why don't I watch more Discovery Health Channel?!?

I just saw a commercial for a talking doll. And the doll said, "I love you more than bunnies".

!?!?!?!?!!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!!!!1!!

I definitely added the ones in there simply for effect. You have a one in there, you know it's serious shit.

Happy Birthday, Linda!

Because I didn't throw out the garbage this morning...

I didn't throw out the garbage at work this morning. So now Clay's comic gets a plug to make up for it.

UPcomics

I would really like a jacuzzi...

It is ridiculous how much I love the movie "Drumline". Yes it is kind of an eh movie, but hello...drums...marching bands....music geeks DREAM. Plus it's got cool people in it. :-) Yay Orlando Jones and Nick Cannon.

I watched "The Cat Returns" at work today like..two and a half times...simply out of laziness of putting in another movie. Plus, I was just in a "Cat Returns" kinda mood. Hey David, know anything about this? And what it's a spinoff of? I looked it up on IMDB but it was unhelpful 'cause I'd never actually heard of the movie it told me.

Wild Wild West, however...not a very good movie, and you definitely have to be in a very specific mood to want to watch it.

Yeah...pretty bored now....

Ahhhh!!!!!

My rooms a mess there's not enough light and I can't understand half my math homework!! Ahhhh!!!!!

Today was a very slow day at work, so this is what I did:

Derrraammmaaaa

(pity party anyone?)

So, have you ever noticed that if you just listen to anime and don't look at it, it kinda sounds like porn?
