Noooo... I don't want to go to work! (tries to ignore calendar) My three day weekend can't be up. (cries)

Tuesday, as usual, was my do nothing day. However, the days following were actually pretty busy and stuff.

On Wednesday, I woke up really early (going on my sleeping schedule this would be 11 AM, my version of 7 AM) and then walked over to Wal*Mart. I went early for a good reason, as I needed a haircut, and figured the earlier I went the sooner they could get me in.

Even though I got there really early, I still ended up having to wait until one to get in. But that was all right- I needed to get some new clothes anyways. So I shopped around for some jeans and a new nice looking top that I could wear to the meetings, and a couple of other things. By the time I'd checked out, they were ready for me.

The lady who cut my hair was really nice. My hair no longer looks... well, I wouldn't really know the term for it besides abstract as hell. Now though, it's all even on both sides and short enough to manage again. Plus, I also got some highlights put in that turned out really pretty. Kind of a copper color, and they're nice and subtle too. (is pleased)

It was rather spendy, unfortunately >.<. However, here is another instance where working at Wal*Mart is win. Pretty much every store inside of the building offers Wal*Mart employees a discount- even a few outside of the store, like the McDonald's across the street. Getting a haircut was no different, and I got 20% off. My wallet was a happy camper.

Anyways, after that was done, I had to hurry back over to the high school for driver's ed. Ick. More stuff I don't really need to learn. But as mentioned in prior entries, I am Student Z. Student Z gets to go driving on Wednesdays, so it was all good in the end.

...Though maybe a little freaky. Last week, I was just driving around town, practicing turns and stuff at about thirty miles an hour. This time around, I got to go drive out on country roads, speed limits ranging from thirty to sixty-five miles an hour.

Did I mention it was raining? Holy shit, I was scared to death! O_O

The teacher said I did much better with my right turns this time, though. I'm improving on lane position too, but she thinks that could still use a bit of work. Overall it was a good drive.

When I came home, I started cleaning up a little before RPing. Mwahaha.... I love doing that, by the way. I have so much fun playing Bishop.

As for yesterday, that was kinda peaceful too. I'd requested it off for the Memorial (an event my religion celebrates), but still had quite a bit of time to myself. I did a little bit of laundry and cleaned up my room- it looks a lot better now. Just needs to be vaccuumed, I think. I didn't have time to do much with the kitchen though. I'm hoping to work on that little by little in the coming days.

The kitchen is... yeah. It's a mess. I'm not actually in it all that often anymore, so I don't tend to see the mess that has steadilt been accumulating there. I have a lot of dishes to do, and the floor is all nasty. Big project there.

I'm sure the fridge could use some help too. Like I said- not in there very often anymore. I've noticed I don't really eat much anymore, besides random snacks, so I wouldn't be surprised to find some food in there that isn't exactly good to eat anymore.

(sighs) Calendar's not changing, dammit. Guess I gotta get ready for work.

In the meantime, it's Youtube Friday!

I love this one. Soooo much love for Deadpool. And even though this is fanmade, it is easily as quotable as if it were from a movie or something. XD



Chimichanga! XD

Man, I'm really getting beind on responding to comments. Sorry about that, folks. Promise to fix that very soon. (hugs everyone)

In the mean time, I am feeling a little better. I've been so burnt out over work lately that it's put me in a real down mood. Not much way to fight it either, as all roads seem to lead back to it.

But like I said- better now. Had much fun tonight watching about half a season of Justice League Unlimited with [info]ivy_chan. Heehee! What a blast! I'd almsot forgotten how much I like that show until I saw it again. And the side conversation (excerpts of which can be seen in Ivy's journal) had me in stitches, even if I wasn't contributing to is so much as laughing. XD

But now I want to make like a bunch of icons for the show (just made the Huntress one I'm using). Some featuring quotes from our conversation. XD

Between that and the fact that I get to see my mom tomorrow, I'm in much higher spirits than I have been. ^_^ Yayness!

I only got to see my friends for a little over an hour, but I did get to see them. It was nice- I wish that they could've stayed longer. But it's a bit of a drive and it was getting dark, so it was easy to understand why they had to leave so soon. Maybe next time we'll get to visit longer.

Man, I must've been really tired today. Shortly after they left, I fell asleep at my laptop and napped for about three hours. I feel more relaxed now, though. I think I really needed that. I'm dreading going back to work tomorrow (Why don't days off last longer? ;_;), but luckily it's only for the half of the day. I'm debating with myself what to do with the small amount of time I'll have.

Had it not been for what I did a few hours ago, I probably wouldn't be thinking about it at all. However, at around one I left the house and walked to a nearby gas station to get some milk. I almost didn't go, with the line of thought that no one would want me to leave the house so late at night for something that can wait until morning, especially if I were walking.

But then what I've been telling people all along went through my head: It's my life now.

If I want to get milk at one in the morning, then I can do it now. If I don't feel like cleaning my closet, I don't have to. If I want to stay up late watching cartoons, I can do it. If I want to go to the other side of the country without anyone accompanying me at some point, then I'm free to.

For some reason, despite knowing this, I never realized this statement truly until tonight. With the exception of legal limitations, I can do whatever I want to do now. I have to bear the results of my actions of course, but now I'm actually able to carry them out, something I wasn't even given the chance to try.

Now, this isn't to say I'm about to go bungee jumping, or find a random stranger to date all of a sudden. But it's really thrilling for me to think that if I want to leave my house and walk around town at whatever time I want, the only person who can stop me is me. I don't know what exactly I can do around here, but the point is I can do it.

I'll have to explore this freedom. ^_^

It's so strange. These past few days, I've been feeling really good about myself. Happy, and content, and with a good outlook for the future. I haven't felt like this since I was much younger. It's been years. And for the first time, I feel on the brink of actually breaking away from everything that's hurt me from that same time. Like the piece of glass that's finally coming free of the skin, it's finally starting to seem less painful.

I know I'm not entirely free from it yet. In fact, I'll probably still walk around with it in my foot for years to come. But you know... it's like it's finally starting to come loose. And that's awesome.

But knowing it's still there is keeping me from fully celebrating. I mean, it could get jammed back in there, for all I know.

At least for now, though, I'm happy. I went to the meeting today and for once seemed like I got something out of it. I went the whole day without blowing up at anyone. It's great.

I better enjoy it while it lasts though. If I get this job, the next few days will be really stressful, I'm sure. ^_^

Anyways, here's a meme I first saw done by [info]ivy_chan. I didn't do it at first because I didn't think I had that many stories.

Well lo and behold, I looked today and saw that I do, in fact. I think I forgot to count the one-shots. Heheh. Anyways, enjoy! I decided to exclude poems, by the way. Just seemed easier. 

Post the first lines from your last 25 stories. Do you see any patterns?"

OMFG- I sucked three years ago ;_; )


Now for the things I noticed. (takes deep breath)

-Oh dear God, I sucked ass at writing when I was younger! ;_; (runs around in circles) I'm sorry! Forgive meeeee! I was fourteen- I didn't know how to properly start a sentence, much less write an actual story and make it good! (continues blubbering)
- ...For being a Leo fan, a disturbing number of my stories mention Raphael in the first sentence. O.o
- In my first year of writing, my sentences tended to start off as statements or nods to location.
- In my second year, I did a lot with sensory input.
- In my third year, I went from writing short and to-the-point sentences to long and action-wordy ones.

See anything else I missed? Point it out! Oh- and clicky on the dragon, please. :3


Adopt one today!
