:: Nobody writes 'em like they used to so it might as well be me ::
Not only am I over being sick, I'm also really over winter. Yeah yeah, I know, it's barely begun... but already I'm looking forwards to being WARM when I'm OUTSIDE and all sorts of delicious seasonal dishes... ah well, always looking to the future, never appreciating the here and now. I can't tell if I'm getting better or worse with my illness. =\ I guess it's possible for 'both' to be an entirely true answer. Oh well. On a wholly unrelated note, do any of the rest of you go through musical cycles? I mean, do you really really like one band or musician or style of music for a while, and then a couple years later it's like... meh. But then you come back to it and you have a new-found appreciation for it? Well, I used to be a total Beatlemaniac around high school, but afterward I've been pretty meh towards them, not listening to their albums for literally -years- at a stretch... until the remasters hit, and I started re-listening to my collection and re-hearing them. Today, I woke up and stretched and mumbled "...just like castles made of sand" and rolled over and got onto my computer to load some Jimi onto my playlist... and Sunshine of Your Love by Cream... and a bunch of Belle & Sebastian... what? I haven't listened to most of these albums in -years- and now suddenly I really really want to listen to them? I wonder if memories have a half-life. I know that since our cells are constantly regenerating and growing, we're totally different people every seven years or so... I wonder what this year will have in store for me. Hm. Well, off to start my day. I went to work yesterday morning, BIG MISTAKE. I'm showing up this afternoon, 1pm-8:30pm, and let's see if they can keep me off-register for a change. Nothing makes a sore throat worse than saying "Hello, how are you today? Did you find everything? Credit or debit? Slide your card there, strip-side down. Use the attached pen. Any cash back today? How much would you like? Up to one hundred dollars. Please verify that amount. Have you heard about this promotional offer...?" over and over and over and over and over again. If I had been working in the back I would have done much better methinks.

Congestion then runny nose, headache, fever, nausea, coughing up phlegm... all that unpleasantry. I hope I feel better tomorrow, they need me. At least, I think they do. Possibly they do. Something something. Current Mood: sick | | Thursday, December 31st, 2009 | | 10:56 am |
:: Open-Source Resolutions ::
What resolutions should I have for this coming year? I'm looking for what you (my readers) consider my flaws which I should address, or ways you want to see me grow or change. Or even just good resolutions which you'd tell any given person. Tell me! Current Mood:  curiousCurrent Music: Lady Gaga - Beautiful, Dirty, Rich | | Monday, December 28th, 2009 | | 6:23 pm |
:: I have a dream... ::
Well, had one, anyway. Last night I dreamt that Cal ( ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) caliberwolf) and Xion ( two_w0lves_tied) took me out to a show in Union City, and a young bearish Hasidim group was the headliner. They came out, wearing pretty much all black, and the super-cute chestnutty-redheaded lead singer had a trilby hat on and curly peyes, and his pants tucked into his socks... only he was wearing white Converse canvas sneakers instead of boots! And they started to play their instruments, and it sounded very familiar to me. (goofy youtube link) Yeah. Sean Paul + kind of Klezmer music = omg my brain hurts Then I woke up! Current Mood:  drunkCurrent Music: Sean Paul - Temperature | | Sunday, December 27th, 2009 | | 10:03 pm |
Decade in review: ...dude, I started this decade at the ripe old age of 15. This past decade has been like 40% of my entire lifetime. In fact, it's my ENTIRE lifetime. I wasn't alive then. I've only just started being alive now. Sheesh. | | 12:32 pm |

I forgot and when I tried to check, the information wasn't available! ^^; Schedule: Today = 1:00-9:15pm Monday = 8:00-4:30pm Tuesday = --- Wednesday = 9:00-5:00-pm Thursday (New Year's Eve) = spent with a wuff and an otter, possibly. Friday (New Year's Day) = spent with an otter and a wulf, prolly. =3 Saturday = 1:30-9:15pm And OMG my room, it is messy. It's mid-clean-up but it got really bad what with Xmas. I'll see what I can do this coming week. I have New Year's Resolutions, but they're the same ones as every year. ^^; Be a better friend, improve my art, draw more, learn to drive, like that. DONG DONG DONG BONG. Coke and Bacardi Gold Rum are derishus, and the Bacardi Mojito mix is derishus too. OMG, Cashew Lou got a tattoo! It's so cute! =D Whee, I'm random. Everybody get random!

:: It's become an annual tradition now ::
Whether or not you celebrate any winter (or, in the southern hemisphere, summer) holidays, here's wishing you a pleasant one and a happy new year. (Unless, of course, your calendar is lunar, in which case happy new year in advance; Gung Hay Fat Choy!) As for this one, the immediate family will be joining my mom's sisters up in Walnut Creek, and I will spend the entire time I'm there feeling uncomfortable and out-of-place. They will ask me innumerable questions about work and very neatly glaze over my sexuality, and I might just go off outside and get a little drunk and not socialize. Honestly, I prefer friends to family. I can choose my friends, we have similar interests, and they haven't known me forever so they don't have weird expectations about how I'm to act. My folks aren't so bad per se, but... I dunno. I don't really have anything in common with them other than genetics, and they don't understand me and I don't understand them and mostly it's just weird for me to be around them and awkward for them to interact with me. =\ Is my timing so flawed?

So... since it's only about one month in the future... who all is going to Further Confusion this year? =D (I know one of you who is not, for very good reasons... your card just arrived in the mail! Thank you for thinkin' about me. =D ) You know -I- am. I wouldn't give it up for anything. I really enjoy seeing and meeting people and all that quality goodness.

Laugh-worthy quote of the day:
"Thirteen women and no condoms - you're a gambling man ain't you Tiger? Rappers use condoms often. Golfers apparently don't use condoms." -- 50 Cent on Tiger Woods In other news, GRR insomnia. Only getting two hours of sleep last night, you'd think I'd have passed out at work or slept for like 10 hours tonight, but instead... well, I guess I'm more resilient than I expected. My drawer wasn't off at the end of the night and I didn't make any huge errors or anything, despite how busy it was. Hell, I didn't even blow up at any customers. I just felt like I was gonna keel over any minute all day long. Now... I can't sleep, go figure. I slept a little, but now I'm wakeful, and it's a pointlessly early waking time, so whatev~... In other news, Poker Face, as performed by an all-male a capella choir from UC Berkley. With dance moves! Current Mood:  amused | | Thursday, December 10th, 2009 | | 9:51 pm |
I was chatting with CaliBEAR and came to the realization (after a little pencil and paper calculation) that my anniversary with my boyfriend is 08-08 (08-08-08, to be exact) and our six month anniversary is thus 02-02. Groundhog day! =D Now I need to figure out what to get him for our upcoming half-anniversary. Perhaps half of a card? Or maybe half a movie. X3 A half-pound cake! Oh, the puns are innumerable. Don't correct me if I'm wrong! I like that day better! D: I wonder if I can get my birth-date on my ID changed from 01-31 to 01-23... hmmmmmmm... BUT HOW?! | | 8:37 pm |
:: In my dreams I'm jealous all the time ::
My current teensy little pug *grr* at site programming: Facebook! It's suggesting people for me to be friends with, right? So-and-So Smith You both went to The Same High SchoolYeah, so? And looking at some of these people and doing a little quick google-fu... some of these 'suggestions' are people who graduated in, like, 1982. Yes, that's right, three years before I was born. Or people who graduated in 2009. How would I possibly know these people? Why are they being suggested to me? UGH. It's like Amazon saying "Oh, you bought The Beatles One album, so maybe you'd like... this automatic egg-cracker!" which makes me go "BUH?!" because oh, some of the people who bought this bought that. Not that there's any connection, just numbers. FFFfff. Also, they can't possibly know this but... I really have no desire to be in contact with 99.9994% of the people I went to high school with. We happened to be in a shared space at the same time, and maybe we banded together for protection against the greater forces, but if we never kept in contact afterward, why would I want to talk with them now? Also, the small handful of guys I was interested in, well, we obviously have nothing remotely in common, otherwise we would have run into each other by now! Right? I mean, is my thinking so flawed? On the other hand, I have a new friend who I get along with so well it should be a felony, or at least a misdemeanor, and it turns out he knows Dylan Half-per-tap-pen and has met my boyfriend when he came down to Santa Cruz and they played DDR and such and we have other friends in common and we've never met before SO MAYBE I'M WRONG. Still... Schedule: Sunday = --- Monday = 8:00am-4:30pm Tuesday = 4:00pm-11:00pm Wednesday = 4:00pm-11:00pm Thursday = --- Friday = 8:30am-4:00pm Saturday = --- Current Mood:  it's wet outside! | | Wednesday, December 9th, 2009 | | 10:49 am |
:: M'agradaria tenir un barret més aviat agradable ::
So apparently I passed my test, since yesterday my manager said "I can't talk with you right now, but we're starting the next step now that we have your results back so you start shadow training tomorrow." She also said "Oh, and you get to take another drug test right before you actually become a supervisor, just so you know." x_____x I'm significantly less relieved than I expected to be. Perhaps because I haven't seen the results back myself. I dunno. I hope training takes less than... 45 days. Or something. I'd like to indulge in some perfectly legal tobacco substances for EffSea with all the awesome people. Ho well. ANYWAY. Now that LJ has stopped VOMITING UP all over me and I can post and (hopefully) receive comments again, things -should- be easier. Somewhat. I have a fleecy vest! It warms me. My floor is concrete and cold. Time to shower before work. Uh! Current Mood:  cold | | Tuesday, December 8th, 2009 | | 8:57 am |
:: ghojmoq wIj 'a'tlhIngan Daq ::
When dosner and caliberwolf were leaving my house after CRABFEST 2009* it was quite literally freezing. Guess what! It's 24°F (about -4°C) out! BRRRRRRR. I can feel the cold leaching through the walls, trying to get at me. Brr. Friday's gonna suck, I'm gonna be going to work at 8:15am and it won't even be light yet, I reckon. Wah, I miss FA. Does anyone have any suggestions for art (read: furreh pron) sites I can browse in the interim? I know fchan and e621 but I don't know of any others. Also, I'm not really into sparkly twinky type furry guys, I like chubby/beefy/regular type furry guys and stuff like that there. * See, crab got really cheap all of a sudden... well, for around here: $2.99 a pound, and for $0.25 a pound they'll crack it and clean it for you. That's pretty cheap for big ol' Dungeoness crabs, 'round these here parts. Current Mood: cold | | Sunday, December 6th, 2009 | | 11:43 pm |
I'm curious (read: bored) and wish to know the following: 1) What season is it where you are? Alternatively, what season do you consider it to be. 2) What's the weather been like recently? Do you like it? 3) What is cold weather for you? What is hot weather for you? (In other words, what's your range?) 4) What season(s) is/are your favorite? 5) What weather(s) is/are your favorite? Here are mine, much too prolix but so be it: 1) I'm in the northern hemisphere, so in my little corner of the globe, it's late autumn. 2) It's been mostly clear and cold this past week, but it was cloudy today and for the past couple hours it's been raining pretty steadily. Not a hard raid, just a little. I'm guessing we'll probably only get 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch overnight. I like the rain, but I don't like venturing forth in it. I don't have any good wet-weather gear anymore. 3) For me, cold weather begins around, oh, 40°F and it really doesn't get colder than about 25°F around here. It's usually no more than a couple degrees below freezing at the coldest. Hot weather begins at about 95°F and it usually doesn't peak above 110-115°F here, so it's not that much of an issue. 4) I like mid-autumn when it's still pleasant during the day and not too cold at night, and also mid-spring. I guess I'm a pretty temperate person. 5) I like rain if I can go home and get dry afterward. I especially like thunderstorms, but they're rare here. I like a slightly cooler warm day (say 60°F all day) with a bit of a breeze. That's the best. Current Mood: wet | | Saturday, December 5th, 2009 | | 9:26 am |

:: I am not trash! ::
 Why would anyone throw away a perfectly good raccoon?Anyway, the little guy's not big enough to climb out by himself, and my family is saying that we should wait and see if any other raccoons come to pick him up, since he's been sleeping in the can all by himself all day... but I figure he just got stuck, and I should tilt the can over and let him leave if he chooses to. =\ Suggestions? We'll be calling animal control tomorrow, and I think we should mention the BIG DEAD RACCOON who's been hit by a car just down the road from us. x_x I hope they're not a youngling and his/her mommy, because that'd just about break my heart, even though I know that such is the way of life.

:: Oo-o-oh child, things are gonna get easier ::
It's a trend to post a list of things one is thankful for on Thanksgiving, but you know what? I try to be thankful daily. :3 Ever since I helped treat those two homeless teenagers to breakfast, I've been really, well, into feeling fortunate. I mean, every single time I start getting mopey about "Aw man, I have to close at work AGAIN?" I immediately counter that thought with "Ah, but at least you have a job." Etc. I feel really, well, blessed to be alive now, doing what I'm doing, and being friends with the people I am friends with. In fact, I'm really pleased to discover that I can make NEW friends! I thought for a while there that perhaps my friend-making mechanism was broken, but I guess I just wasn't taking the time to do it. Hi Xion! *waves* Anyway... I'm thankful for music and ears to hear it. I'm thankful for living in a community where I can walk to work and not have to worry -too- much about getting mown down midstride. I'm thankful for denim. I'm thankful for the plants and animals which have sacrificed themselves to feed me, and to feed the people who sold their brethren and sistren to me, and their cousins who fed the workers who shipped them to the stores, and so on outwards back to the pre-Adamite primordial subatomic globules of living matter who started this whole song-and-dance show. I'm thankful for trees and living near them. I'm thankful for the furry fandom, for introducing me to some wildly creative and insanely funny people, the likes of which I've seen little of elsewhere. I'm thankful for honeybees, what's left of their noble race. I'm thankful for stars. I'm thankful for Dr. Seuss, Timothy Leary, Trent Reznor, Les Paul, Cyndi Lauper, Mahatma Gandhi, John Lennon, Elias Howe, Sir John A. MacDonald, Herbie Hamill, J. J. Abrams, Joss Whedon, Lady Gaga, Jake Shears, and Weena Mercator. Among others. I'm thankful for gmail for saving my conversations, so I can look up the recipe for pilaf that I sent to a certain hyena, since my copy has since been lost to the great divide! I'm actually thankful for my workplace for being open on Thanksgiving, because even though we only made $2333.97 among the three of us, we earned major brownie points with the few locals who came in to buy their last-minute goods. I'm thankful for time-and-a-half overtime holiday pay. I'm also thankful for Safeway for not closing until 6 pm so I could hop in and nab a rotisserie chicken, some shu mai and inari pockets, so my brother and I won't starve since there's only to-be-prepared Thanksgiving-type food in the fridge this week. For that matter, thank you to all everyone who worked any holiday this year. And for those of you out of work, I truly hope that things turn around for you, and you find a job soon. I'm hoping for the best for all of us. I hope, perhaps, in this coming year, that the great divide between Left and Right closes... by which I mean, I hope the Right drifts centrally and the Left holds out their hands, plz. ;3 Be happy everyone. Be thankful, even if it's just for the internet. Srs bzns! Current Mood:  thankfulCurrent Music: Hellogoodbye - Here In Your Arms |
