I am obviously having a horrible case of cycling through by Bipolar again. It's going so fast I can't quite keep a good hold on it, which is frustrating because it hasn't been this bad since high school. Yeah- I'm annoyed.

Kathy should like, go fall off the face of the Earth or something. Along with all of the people like her. THE WORLD WOULD BE SUCH A BETTER PLACE.

People also need to stop being so sensitive. I can not be snippy with you if I've spoken less than two sentences all day. Wanna complain to management to me about that? Fine. Someday I'll just be telling them about how you spend twenty minutes or more talking to people every time you take out a pallet.

New Toshiba laptop- ALL IS FORGIVEN. Okay, LJ still looks kinda weird and cropping is as weird as I thought it'd be, but HOLY CRAP you're so much speedier than my old laptop! Downloading Photoshop always took at least four hours, but with you I had it in twenty minutes! (loves on)

I picked up Brook from One Piece at a RP here on LJ. I had to drop Agent Bishop at the TT one due to stress and time issues, but this one has a bit of a slower pace. I'm having so much fun, though. I can tell I need to work on him some, though. I don't think I'm doing too horribly though (I hope...?), so there's at least that. :D

I miss my mother. And even my stepdad, sometimes. I'm afraid of talking to most other people. I've been thinking about moving back with them for a few months- I could transfer to another Walmart and save up some money. Without bills, I'd be able to help them out some too.

Not going to happen until at least January though (I'm sticking around for the bonus check at my Walmart, kthnx). We'll see if I'm still up for it by then.

One of my icons won first place at this week's op_ic icontest! I was so surprised! I've gotten several of the Mod's Choice awards, and last time I got a third place, but never a first! On top of that, one of my other icons won for the Special Category (Best Crop), so I am pleased. ^_^

Because of the events of last year where the Walmart worked got trampled to death on Black Friday, Walmart will be open all day on Thanksgiving now. So we don't get half days off now.

Sometimes customers disgust me. In addition to the absolute horror of how selfish some of those people acted at that store when the poor guy died, now they get rewarded with having more time to shop. On top of that, we have to work with them longer while they're at their worst. WTF.

Watched Ice Age 3 finally. Ah, I loved the first one. None of the sequels have been on the same level, but at least they're still entertaining. As for this one- BUCK. He made the movie, I swear.

Manny: Just when exactly did you lose your mind?
Buck: About three months ago. I woke up married to a pineapple. An ugly pineapple. *sighs happily* But I loved her so...

I locked myself out of my house today. After having no luck picking the lock, I remembered that one of the windows was open and decided to try and open it. Unfortunately, as I was pushing up against it, I stumbled and ended up breaking the glass and cutting myself open while I was at it. It's very annoying to have your hands covered in blood and no way to wash them off for an hour. Besides how much colder they get in this weather, it's worse when you're trying very hard not to get blood all over your neighbor's door.

I cleaned it as best as I could though, and I have some nice thick bandaids. It was only a tiny cut, just deep and fairly wide. If I don't keep the bandaids on, whenever I go to grab something it splits right back open and that is getting really annoying really fast. If it doesn't stop doing that by tomorrow I'm just going to superglue it.

Also, the broken window sucks and will probably cost more than a locksmith would have (fifty bucks). I AM BROKE. I have to call the landlord tomorrow, but I'm hoping he'll let me wait until I get paid next to do it.

Times like these I wish the television stations would come through to my little basement. Bored as I am at times, it would be lovely to just switch on the tube and channel surf until I found something interesting. Or watch Conan O'Brien again. Or any show, really. The Internet only gets me so far.

Don't know what to think of my days off anymore. I love the break from work, but at the same time I have little to do with my free time. It consists mainly of reading, laptop, and sleep. And grumbling whenever my grandmother tries to make me doing something I don't want to do (you'd think living on my own would put her in her place some, but not really). Such as earlier today when I decided not to go to the driving class because I'd been up sick until an hour before it was to begin and she wanted me to go anyway. Or how when I explained I'd make up the dirving part (not the class) tomorrow before work and she tried to talk me into doing both.

Got kinda sick of this awhile ago. I hold the reigns now, so I'm tired of the negotiations. I should get to decide what's what... even if that means deciding to do nothing. Which probably doesn't make sense in the long run, but that's my choice too.

Getting back to that, it leaves me with this odd desire to do nothing and everything all at once. Stay in the cave vs. going out to do whatever I want and etc. Which only tends to lead to an unpleasant mix of the two in which I spend way too much time thinking. I've come to hate thinking. It's never gotten me far.

Such as my situation with my cat. My landlord has suggested to me (and my other neighbors) that we should get rid of the animals. Technically none were approved of and the leases did state pets weren't allowed. He didn't mind so much, but I guess one neighbor's dog caused some property damage and my cat's still making noise, so he thinks they should go.

I don't quite know what to do with her. She's still being quite a pest lately, even though I have been giving her more attention. Broken more stuff too- glasses, plates, and very nearly the VCR of all things- as well as put some scratches on my bedroom door. It'll probably be the best if I give her up, but I don't know how. I refuse to take her to the pound- they have enough cats as it is, and few find homes. I don't want to just throw her outside either though, as that would seem pretty cruel. But I don't know anyone who wants a cat either. Gah. Got a week to decide.

...Geez, am I rambling enough? Note to self: learn to pick a topic and stay with it.

Well my floor is dry now, though a bit brown in places. The maintenance guy came by a few days ago and got a bunch of it out of the carpet with a wet vaccuum. He said we'd have to let the rest dry on it's own though and then eventually they'd get around to steam-cleaning it. I heard someone doing just that this afternoon in my neighbor's house (I guess the water damage in his apartment was far worse), so I'm guessing it'll only be a matter of time.

Had I been a little more awake, I probably would've had the sense to go and ask. However, it was a driver's ed day, so I was pretty wiped. I hate getting up so early for lessons, especially seeing as the hour and a half spent for class time is only to reach the fifty required hours. I don't even have to do any work, but it'd be kinda rude to sleep, you know?

The driving itself is getting a little more productive. Several people have joked before at work that my 'driving' skills with a pallet jack could use some work, so I guess it only makes sense that I'd have as much difficulty with a real vehicle XD. However, when I first started out with a pallet jack I was abysmal and now I can at least use one pretty comfortably. I figure I'll reach the same point with a car eventually, though I figure it's going to take a lot of practice. I don't want to go after my license until I've had such practice though, so this may take some time....

After all of these drives thus far, what it seems to be coming down to is steering. Sometimes I make turns a bit too sharply, and the steering wheel and I don't get along so well... not that I drift all over the road, mind you. Really the problem only occurs when I'm going in reverse. I often turn it the wrong way or something. ^_^; Just one more thing to work on.

But I did fairly well on both of my drives today! We went on a highway drive first, and I didn't do too horrible. Scariest bit was when I was stuck with one semi in front of me and another behind in a construction zone. That was pretty freaky. I thought my next lesson would've been worse actually, but parallel parking turned out to be much easier in comparison. Everyone had me thinking it was going to be really difficult! I'd much rather be practicing that one instead.

And that was pretty much my day. Wrote a little bit though. Once again I'm noticing how horribly out of practice I am on the writing front. Though maybe it has something to do with all of the other fandoms I'm trying my hand at. Avatar fic is pretty easy, actually. Deadpool is still proving a bit difficult, as is One Piece.

I think my problem with that one is that I'm so used to plotting around a fairly realistic setting... er, you know what I mean. One Piece is rather different though. 'Tis one of the reasons why I love it so, but it still makes it difficult to write. Thankfully my first try at it will be for an anonymous prompt, so if I epically fail it won't be so big of a deal. Plus the setting is something that's already happened, so I have some form of structure. The remaining variables are still a bit to work with though. Maybe I'll finally finish a project? Would be nice.
