So...

Yeah, so I'm not writing as much as I should be. Oh well. I slept for like, twelve hours this morning. I didn't mean to, but I just did. I still feel sort of guilty... I haven't really slept that long since... a while ago, at least. Hehe, I remember the afternoon after my last day of high school. I just went home and slept until the next day. I'll probably sleep for two days after college is done with. I have to be careful not to sleep through the grace period for my loans, though!

Ah, yesterday was quite nice. At least as far as the afternoon was concerned. Finally saw LoTR! Yaaay! Unfortunately, it was at a rather run-down theatre with sort-of uncomfortable seats that was never entirely dark, so of course I'm going to have to go see it properly some time (and preferably, for free). I suppose I'll have to see if I'm actually invited to that sleep-over thing everyone is having Monday night. Hehehe, I'd be spending the hours between working at the theatre 10-6 and then 6-11 watching all three movies and being weird with a bunch of freshmen and sophomores... but hey, whatever! Nothing wrong with freshmen and sophomores (even if one happens to be my sister). Not sure if I'd feel like I was intruding on my sister's social life or something though... I mean, afterall, they're my friends too.. Umm... I think I've strayed a bit from what I meant to write about, which was yesterday. Yeah. So I went over to my friend's house at noon, and we sat around and talked for awhile while pretty much everyone else that was coming with us cancelled... at which point we decided to abandon the Pizza Hut plan and go to Taco Bell anyway, since I had to ditch them rather quickly for work anyway (Sorry llamaninja, if you actually showed up! We went over there looking for you, but we were running out of time before I had to leave!). We ate pizza, and (I'm sure my UofC friends would be very disappointed in me) discussed the consumption of tomatoes and migrant workers and the Taco Bell controversy, and joked about the whole thing after this one guy in the back (in the middle of our conversation) suddenly yelled "Where are my tomoates!?" We also thoroughly enjoyed our friend's goatee, which was amusing enough for the price of admission. Heh, to think we bugged him about it for four years, and after a month and a half of college his girlfriend talks him into it. Oh well, at least he finally did. He looked like one of those coffee shop intellectuals (if you disregared the flannel shirt), but it was cool. So, of course, I hated to go to work. And I probably would've been miserable even if I hadn't had a headache, because the customers last night sucked. The first half of the night wasn't bad, but then all the minors went on break, and people just kept coming in... there was no break in the crowd, and even when they came back they didn't do much of the work. So it was just customer after customer and I was thirsty and sore and miserable. And then stuff started going wrong in theatre 8 with the sound, and people kept coming out and yelling at us about it, because you know... the concessionists all control the theatres too. We have tiny buttons that control what's going on in all the theatres. Gah! Every day I've worked I've had people come out and complain to me about the theatres like I've got something to do with it! People can be so stupid! I mean, usually they're polite enough about it, but last night was just like the last straw. Not only were they complaining to us, this one big tall guy came out and swore at us and told us he'd see to it that we all lost our jobs if the sound in 8 wasn't fixed. Luckily the cop was there to yell at him, because I just wanted to go "You moron! We work the concessions! We have nothing to do with what's going on in the theatres! We already got our manager, so just calm down and quit threatening us!" Then more and more people kept coming out and being all exhasperated and going "Are we going to get a refund tonight?" and I had to keep going "I'm sorry, I don't know, it's up to our managers. We really have nothing to do with this." I wanted to.. I don't know... throw the burning-hot butter on them or something. Stupid holiday season! What is with people that are out now, anyway? Gah!

So, that was my yesterday. And so far today has been spent sitting around doing nothing and/or sleeping. But I've got to go somewhere today. I'm so bored. So I guess I'll take my sister shopping. I have to find stuff for my mom too, which shouldn't be too hard. I know what she wants. Or at least what she told me that she wants. Hmm. I suppose I should go get dressed then. Oh, and here's something if you're really bored and want to cheer me up. If you managed to get to the bottom of this entry... Woo! The refresh button is your friend, hehehe, because that's what I did to chocolatemoose's for a bit. I was bored...






*HUGS* TOTAL!
give evilhippo more *HUGS*

Get hugs of your own

Woo!

Just for fun, we are gong to do today's entry in different formats. Because I'm insanely bored and there is nothing else for me to do. No one else is awake, and I don't really have to be up tomorrow morning until at least 9ish. Though I'd like to be up a little earlier than that, just because I hate going straight to work after I get up. But even if I'm getting up at 8, I don't have to be asleep until midnight. I can't believe how close to Christmas it is... Just a few more days. So, right... what I was about to do before I distracted myself like that. To amuse myself (and perhaps others, if they are as bored as I am) I present to you... Today's Entry By Stereotype... In toned down styles because I'm tired and lazy and don't feel like being a total stereotypist tonight.

If I was a gamer...
I finally defeated Xenogears today! w00t! In well under the usual amout of time, too. 52 hours! But that could be because I don't do any of that useless wandering around and levelling up that most people do with RPGs. If you understand how the game works, you shouldn't have to try to defeat everything by brute force. In honour of this, I present to you a new icon. Residing in the ever-changing third-icon spot (which has been oven mitt, and goldfish and chopsticks, and the llamaninja icon I made.. and now this). It doesn't look nearly as cool against a white background, so if I get bored I'll do something about this.

If I was a teeny-bopper valley girl pop-culture weirdo...
I went to the mall today to shop for some more Christmas presents. It was freakin' crowded, and the people were pushy. Usual holiday crowd. It occured to me that there are more attractive guys at UChi than there are here, and that's horribly depressing! I mean, oh my goodness, what the heck?? On top of that, Hot Topic must go. People here are starting to think it's cool, and it makes it impossible to figure out which people actually are cool and which ones are just following the trend. Disgusting trends. (Oops... so much for this sterotype..). And I bought my mom her presents, like I wanted to. Yay!

If I was a depressed disgruntled employee...
I don't want to go to work for 8 hours tomorrow! I have to get up way too early! I have to stand around for way too long! Plus it's Monday, so it's going to be terribly, terribly boring. Even with LoTR. I have to spend way too much time at work as it is. Gah! I can't wait to get back to Chicago.. even out of Chicago. No.. wait, I'm going to have to work in Chicago next quarter too. I just can't wait until I'm at a point where I don't have to work constantly anymore, or when I find something I actually don't hate doing. I suppose there's always retirement in... 46 years or so. Let's just hope that people don't harass me about the theatres again tomorrow, or I'll go nuts. I'm seriously bringing something to read tomorrow. Sooo bored. I don't imagine a concessionist reading Dante's Inferno is a common sight at the theatre, but it will be tomorrow.

OK, I give up on this, because I'm bored. I just want something to do.. Today was all just wander around aimlessly and occasionally eat or something. Then finally get completely bored and sit down to play Xenogears around 9:30, and finally get through the battle against Deus at 10, and then have my mom come in and yell at me for keeping my sister up but not want to turn it off because I knew I wouldn't be able to do it again probably, without a whole lot of extra evil work and such, so I just had to sit there and go "But I'm at the end and I can't turn it off now or I'll have to start this all over again and that battle's so hard!" Now what am I going to do with my free time? I suppose I could start another of my sister's games... she wants me to try Final Fantasy 7... but I don't really want to start another RPG right now... It takes so much time. Of course, based on what some people told me, I expected to spend like, 80 hours on Xenogears and it only took me 50, so... I don't remember what my point about that was, but I'm sure it might have been imporant. I think maybe I'll just hook up the old Super Nintendo and amuse myself by defeating SMB2 over and over again because I like the music at the final boss.

I wish the cat hadn't broken my headphones. I miss them.. I've got these big bulky ones that belong to my dad now... temporarily of course. The sound's about as good, but they're sort of uncomfortable. And I can't get them at that lovely almost-too-loud point without making it heard in the next room over.

Ben Gibbard has such a freaking awesome voice, I don't know what to do with myself. Really. Gah!
