Today a man asked me, "If my movies are late, do I get spanked?"

::shudder::

Eugh.

I feel dirty.

No, sir, when you sexually harass the video store clerk I'm afraid all you get is a kick in the teeth.

If you're lucky. If you're unlucky, it won't be the teeth.

Eugh.

A lesson...

My mom's immediate family and extended family had a big feud when she was younger. We don't speak to most of the extended family anymore. I've never even met any of my mother's family besides my grandmother, aunt, great-grandfather (when I was a baby) and my great aunt's family (all of two or three times).

Because of this, when I was younger, my mom made it clear to me that you must make peace with people before you leave an argument or yucky situation. We were at a party and a friend of mine and I had ganged up on another one of our friends and were picking on her. She told me I had to apologize and make it right before we left because her family never made up and she never spoke to any of them again. That really stuck with me.

This is why even to this day, if I have an argument with a friend and we do not make up and be nice to each other before going our seperate ways it REALLY bothers me. Stupid argument, serious argument, I don't care, I hate it. It makes me all unhappy and twitchy and feel unnecessarily bad.

So I don't get people who want to not talk about things and make them right. I've been in the middle of heart wrenching arguments with people where I'm sobbing and desperate to just make things better and they'll want to stop talking and just go to bed. I just don't understand that. I just can't do that. How can you just stop and leave it? If you don't fix it, it just keeps going, and why would you want to keep feeling that way for longer than you had to, even if you are tired?

I do understand the need for taking a break from an argument and cooling down so you can be clearer and not hurt each other unnecessarily. But it's important that before you leave you make it clear that even if you're fighting you still care for each other and don't want to hurt each other, that you need some time to calm down and think, and that the subject will be continued later. What I can't deal with is when one party is clearly distraught and the other just leaves the argument altogether because they don't want to deal with it anymore and the other person be damned. That's wrong and unfair and it's happened to me too many times.

This is all very out of nowhere, but I just realized I've never really made my feelings on this sort of thing very clear. Maybe if I explain them, people will understand better. Please don't just leave someone you care about in distress, even if you are mad at them for the moment. That's all I really had to say.

G'night.

Something about his face stuck in a pizza...

It's three in the morning and I am bored. Bored bored bored. And kind of hungry (again).

I just watched "Good Night and Good Luck" and I'm afraid I must say...eh. It felt a bit too impersonal to me. It was interesting, but I guess not really what I was looking for tonight. I noticed that in "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" as well, it all felt slightly cold, like I couldn't completely get myself to really care much about the characters. It works if that's what you're going for, if you care more about the subject itself than the people involved, but I guess I like movies better when I can become more invested in the characters. I dunno, maybe I'll like it more after I've had some time to process it. That happens with some movies.

Anyway, no one actually wants to read my reviews of movies. Especially when they're Oscar nominated and I go "eh" at them. What do I know?

It's 3 AM and there should be more people awake to play with me, damnit. Sometimes I wish I could live in a big apartment building with all my friends and then if it's 3 in the morning and some of us are awake we could all just pile into someones living room in our pajamas and watch TV or have silly 3 in the morning conversations.

Kait and Clay went out to Applebee's with me last night after work to help me destress after a long day. They even came by and met me at work while I was closing up (though they decided it'd be funny to unlock the door and walk in and yell things and I screamed really loud 'cause that door was supposed to be locked damnit). I am ever so grateful to them. That was lots of fun and very yummy, even if I did eat too much and get a tummy ache later. And later in the week I hopefully will be doing something with Brooke. Maybe something involving a bar. We'll be cool chicks who hang out in a bar and discuss very important things...like how lame the final seasons of X Files were. Or kitties. Whichever.

It's officially Jake's birthday. Happy Birthday, Jake!

I should try and sleep. I could really use a vacation. Night.

Sigh

I am really really hungry. I'm at work. More places in town should deliver. The only place that does is the Japanese place and I don't want Japanese food. Sigh.

Also, I just yelled at a guy for putting a movie through the mail slot while we're open. Now I kinda fear he's going to come back and tell me off. He said it was 'cause he had a kid in the car and had to watch the kid. My feeling is that take your kid out of the damn car or walk inside for the literally extra two seconds it would take to return them inside. Just 'cause you have a kid doesn't give you special rule breaking privileges.

Blogger spell check sucks, btw.

Now some woman just called me and just completely flipped out over the fact that her dvd's are a day late. I wonder what she acts like when her period's late. Geez.

I really want a turkey burger, damnit. I can order from this place that delivers, but they take FOREVER and it costs a lot and the last time I did the delivery guy gave me a nasty look when he finally got here like "Ugh, you made me come all the way down here". Fuck you, delivery man. That's your job. And you have an ugly beard.

I'm so done with school. Too bad school isn't ACTUALLY done for another two weeks.

I just was about to cave and call the delivery place only to realize they're closed today. Grr. I ate a kitkat. It really didn't help.

Sigh.

Sigh.

I want to write.

I just can't think of a damn thing to write about.

I really really hate that.

You've heard about it. Do something.

Spring is in the air...

It's 3 in the morning. Either the baby across the street had a nightmare and is wailing it's head off or those cats outside are having sex again.

Something weird:

Being an only child who always wanted siblings and then seeing some random picture of a person online who doesn't look exactly like you, but could definitely be your sister. Makes me wish I had a sister all over again.

It's like a hamster washing machine!!

Was totally coherced into posting these...did I spell that right?

Brooke and I painted Easter Eggs tonight!!!

(P.S. Kaity, we wanted to invite you but started late and then had to make an unexpected pathmark run and then were dumb and didn't remember that you weren't working until later. We're sorry!!! We must have a girls day soon, yes please? Loves you!)

We made a V for Vendetta egg (which I want to go see again 'cause it's amazing! Eeee!):

And then just had fun with all the pretty colors. And stickers. And glitter! We had glitter!


Then we tried taking pictures of the cats. Leia is the such a little supermodel. She's like, "Where is my trailer and my evian?"


Plus her tail is the best thing ever. It's like someone crossed a pig with a cat and it came out as pure adorableness:


Spacey seems to like me better than Leia. He's such a sweetie. I blinded the poor little guy with the flash though, but now we have these really funny blinky pics:


Okay, done with the pics overload. Went shopping with Linda today as well. So much fun. Friends are great. Off I go. Night!

Are you like a crazy person or something?

1. V for Vendetta is a fantastic movie and Hugo Weaving is an amazing actor for being able to emote through a MASK for an entire movie.

2. I'm sleepy and don't have much else to say, but I felt like listing. Whee.

3. I get to see Linda tomorrow!! Yay!! ::hugs Linda::

= best

Meredith Vierra's taking over for Kaity Couric?

Um. Ew.

Ann Curry still = best.

Tasty metal...

So here's what's been up.

Most of the week I've been waking up feeling kinda weird, dizzy and headachey and such. By Thursday I was freaked out enough by it to go to the doctor who sent me for a blood test (mm, pleasant) and it turns out I'm anemic. Not a big surprise since my diet sucks and I eat lots of junk and barely ever have red meat or veggies. Yeah....seriously, I'm dumb.

Anyway, I'm going to be taking iron supplements but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for good food that has iron in it that doesn't taste like dirt. I'd greatly appreciate anyone's ideas.

Also, Jake already made lame Magneto jokes at me so there's no need to embarass yourselves. ;-)

Later.

So it's April Fools Day...

24 years ago today my parents were sitting in a resturant, and the topic of marriage was being discussed. Finally my dad said, "Why don't we just get married?"

In response my mother looked at the clock, saw it was still April 1st and said,

"Is this a joke?"

And thus their engagement began.

True story.

Explains a lot about my family, huh?

Hee hee.
