work's going ok now. the manager and i almost had it out after he somehow overheard me complaining about him to my (hopefully) future assistant manager. but i think we're cool now, though it was a little awkward today. we hired yet another new employee (that makes three new people in like a week). they're all pretty cool, though. next week we're gonna have a ton of people working but half of them won't know what the hell they're doing. wheee, like an adventure.

i get weird and actually very paranoid when i'm stressed.

still obsessed with From Dusk Till Dawn. no idea why. downloaded the soundtrack last night because After Dark kept getting stuck in my head. i'm odd.

why isn't my fucking turtle camper here yet???

i've been weird about food lately. i just don't feel like eating most of the time, and even when i'm physically hungry everything i can think of to eat seems ucky. and then when i do find something i want i get full really fast and often feel sick for a while afterwards. stupid possible stomach thing going around and also my always-screwy stomach.

i need to go ahead and order some damn hair dye. i don't know of any decent brands over here (for unnatural colors) but there's one out of the UK, but i keep forgetting the name of it, though it's easy enough to find on ebay. someone i know over there uses it and her hair is always sooo many colors. i want plum purple. the wife of my oldest coworker (and the mom of a girl i went to high school with, how weird is bossing around the stepdad of a former classmate??) told me that i need to look weirder if i'm going to be managing the store. AFTER telling me about how some of her friends won't even go in our store because they're intimidated by the employees (we're not that weird, though i personally do have a tendency to yell random possibly offensive things at my coworkers...and sometimes customers...in the name of comedy/morale). but i think the intimidation is more about looks.

ahem.

speaking of looking weird and people's reactions to it (and i don't think i even look that weird, i'm always confused when rude old people stare and whatnot), who else feels unhealthily gleeful when they're out looking not-so-normal and completely shock "normal" people by holding open a door, having good manners, etc.? i love it.

damn i am tired.

oh, i got a promo copy of Rogue's Gallery, the piratey collection of songs that just came out. i really like it. no one but awful folk artists ever bother with piratey songs anymore and it's a really interesting collection. yeah, it's technically a tie-in to the pirates movies since it's produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Johnny Depp, but i think that actually makes it cooler. and it's definitely NOT for kids. there be some salty language on them tharr discs!!
