trouble at the blackstone
so in the past three times i've gone to blackstone, there have been two appearances by the cops. i don't like that so much.
cooper has the flu. i have to give him medication and he doesn't like that very much, but he must be feeling better because he's hyper again.
i want a new job. one with benefits. i'm taking next year off i decided. i can't handle school right now. i might go part-time, but that's it. i want a year of just bumming around working and stuff.
i need to end this now because jerry saw me online once and talked to molly about it. oops.
two more weeks
i'm sooooo close to the end of the school year.... sooooooo close.
cooper is sick. he's got diarrhea and he's been vomiting. i'm taking him in to the vet tomorrow. i'm really really worried; poor kitty must feel miserable right now.
work is frustrating. i'm done at seven and then i have to go get cat food and a leash for cooper's visit to the vet tomorrow.
english major? i don't think so.
i have two papers that i need rough drafts for by tomorrow. the one that's due at 8 am hasn't been started. oops. i think i'll start that now. i'm all alone at work cuz everyone else went to oconto falls for lunch at soncrant's office, but someone had to man the phones here, so they picked me to sit here alone and hungry over lunch hour.
alex we need to hang out soon for more than one hour. we need to see the movie.
my little brother came over yesterday. we took him to the mall and the movies. ben is abe's new hero, which scares me a little bit. american dreamz was a pretty good movie.
wwwwwoooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkk
so spending all day at work every saturday is getting really old.
my clothes came today!!!! i can't wait to open the box when i get home.
party tonight..... sort of a girls only type deal. steven is coming though. he hasn't been over to my place yet. i'm pretty excited.
the last post was about my issues with the rainbow right now. alex don't worry about it. i needed to vent and my blog is good for that sometimes. no one needs to understand what i was talking about.
so classes are done in two weeks. in the next two weeks, i have to write two papers, a womanifesto, and study sociology like my life depends on it. this weekend is about the last fun i'll be having for a while. on the plus side, the womanifesto is my semester exam for women and lit and i think my sociology exam is take-home, which means i only really have to worry about intro to lit exam-wise. i'm not doing well in school and seriously considering a year off or at least a year at part-time. my heart isn't in it and i shouldn't pay for classes unless i really want to be there. i'm not looking forward to seeing my grades this semester at all.
one hour and thirty four minutes and i'm done here.
rainbows... and things
so we're not feeling the rainbow connection at rainbow alliance. things have been ugly. the group is officially recognized, but they took away our budget. our advisor is an asshole. he treats us like little children. in addition to that, there is this strange gender rift going on where the men seem to be against the women. we had a meeting this past wednesday which i skipped out on because i had already said i couldn't be there, and i'm glad i didn't go because cat said it was horrid. i'm really upset that it got to this point and i think a lot of it had to do with mark leaving, even though mark was not good for the organization at all. i just feel like we're not being inclusive because of what happened with mark, which bothers me because we're supposed to accept people no matter what. additionally, the gender dynamics of men accusing women of dropping the ball doesn't help anyone. i think we need to take collective blame for what has happened within our group and from there move on to fix the beaurocratic problems and eventually the interpersonal problems as well.
snobbery
if this one makes me a snob, so be it...
i hate high schoolers. not all high schoolers, just most of them. especially the ones i met last night. sorry to those of you who like them, but they were the most obnoxious bunch of human beings i've ever met in my entire life. first of all, they were throwing salt and sugar, which is a bad thing to do if you want to not get kicked out of a restaurant. secondly, constant speak of drugs and only drugs is the most annoying and immature thing i've ever been forced to listen to. third, generally offensive personalities combined with harsh, naturally loud voices make emma cranky and headache-y. i think that about sums up my problem with high schoolers, especially ones named jessie. oh wait, no it doesn't. ben, in a stoned haze, tried to give her my kitten (munchkin). yes, i may give her away, but i will never give her away to someone who has fried their brain to bits in the manner that that stupid little girl did.
yes, i'm a snob. and i'm damned proud that my standards for living are higher than hers.
yay family weekend :(
so today is grandpa's birthday which means family time. tomorrow is easter, which means more family time. but at least i get to see alex tonight to make up for it all i think.
i had a good night last night. i saw dylan for the first time in a billion years. we drove and talked and such. afterwards, i took ben to blackstone and i met ashley who i've heard of numerous times but never actually met. it turns out she's freakin' awesome.
ben was gone last night so my kittens all slept with me. i kicked boomer this morning and he started purring. cooper slept on my hair. it was really cute. munchkin was under my arm for a while but then she disappeared. i didn't want to get out of bed this morning so i didn't until 20 minutes before work.
punk u is a good radio station. so is "emo". i <3 aol radio right now. it's a billion times better than local stations.
when i get home...
ben's shit is going in the garbage if it isn't cleaned up. no lie. my apartment is too small for his vast amounts of random crap to just be lying around.
RULES OF MY APARTMENT (updated 4/13/06):
1.
NO SMOKING. anything. at all. there is now a total ban policy in effect for my apartment. i smell like smoke and so do the blankets on my bed. there was ash in my sink when i came home last night and the place smelled like stale cigarettes and weed and i'm done with it.
2.
Clean up after yourself. this doesn't apply so much to you all as it does to ben and myself. we both need to work on it, especially ben.
3. ask me before you eat my food. this is mostly for ben, who has not bought any of the food he's eaten in my apartment since he's moved in. on top of that, he left a the cap of the juice can out and got it all over the kitchen yesterday, in addition to leaving the juice itself in the living room. so i guess that falls under #2 as well.
4. be nice to my cats.
Note: If you don't like/can't abide by my rules, don't come over. They're basically about respect for me and my space. My apartment is not a place to party; it is my home. i expect that my friends would at least understand that much of it. if you want to get drunk or get stoned or whatever, don't call me. i can't do it everyday and i don't want it in my apartment all of the time. if i invite you over for a party, it's a different matter from what i'm talking about.
sorry to be the buzzkill, but this is how it has to be.
blogging.
lots of fun stuff. i have a family weekend this weekend i guess because my grandpa's birthday and easter are in the same weekend this year... i wonder how i'll hide my tattoo and my apartment at the same time. i went to blackstone last night and claire came in. we didn't speak. i think its better this way. i'm honestly really disappointed with her and they way she has been; in addition, she uses me as a chauffeuse and meal giver when she's broke. but whatev'. she's playing the victim and i'll let her cuz it doesn't mean that much to me.
so there's a new tbs album!!!!!!! i'm really excited and i'm going to buy it after work. cale says it's shitty but it's still taking back sunday and they make me happy. and molly put radio on my computer so i'm listening to purevolume radio right now which is quite exciting. there's an "emo" station too; i've heard three tbs songs and two brand new. damn. i'm having a good music day.
anyways... time to go so i can get some study time in. i have a sociology exam on thursday morning.
tattoos: not just for bikers and sailors anymore
so the past few days have been uneventful as always, with a few exceptions. my one class today was fun and i spoke with dr. faase afterwards and he seemed genuinely interested in what i had to say, which was refreshing considering how some of the other professors i have spoken to seem to feel about interacting with their students. i have come to the conclusion that my intro to sociology class is a bunch of racist assholes. oh no, the country will be less than 50% white in 2030! quick, run the immigrants out of the country before its too late!
work is fantastically boring. all i did for the first four hours was file. now i'm slacking. i made a binder for a client and i have dictation to do as well as more filing and some files to ready for tomorrow but that's all relatively easy shit and considering i'll be here for nine hours tomorrow i should have plenty of time to do some of it then.
alex is a liar
have you ever wondered why there aren't more homicides of dentists?
my mouth fucking hurts. i can't even eat right now. the anestetic wore off as they were doing the last filling. and they jabbed a huge fucking needle in my mouth. i hate needles. on the plus side, they gave me a tv and headphones to drown out the drilling noises. they told me my mouth might hurt for up to three weeks. damn. i've definately had better days, but this one has been the best in about two weeks despite the dental visit.
damn you alex and your "it really doesn't hurt at all".
