Merry's Holiday Roundup
School starts tomorrow, which makes today officially the last day of "Christmas Vacation". I'm actually really excited to go back to school.
Here are some things:
* I worked a lot, which sucked ass.
* I got stalked by a SuicideGirl!
* Turns out the funny gay boy I went to school with and occasionally see when I'm at punk rock shows...

Wow, that was a scary couple of hours. 
The good news is that I signed up for a 12 month membership, so there'll be no more of this "whore is Merry?" business. At least until next December.
In other news, I ordered SG swag almost a month ago, and it still hasn't shown up. I was looking forward to putting up my pin-up calendar on...

Good luck! I'm sure they'll take you. It's a great place to be a student...

guess I'd better get on that guitar shit, eh?
I said eh. do you think they'll let me be canadian yet?

Ugh, it seems SG still hates my credit card, so I may yet go grey for a bit. I'm going to visit my folks for a couple of days tomorrow and their computer is in a public area of the house which makes porn-viewing somewhat difficult and potentially embarrassing, so I can't really deal with this until I'm back in the comfort of my own...

Us broke people are allways dabbling in the grey. That's our lives. This is a luxury not everyone can afford. I hope your Festivus kicked ass. 
x_doug_x:
Oooooh a challenge. i cant wait til next Festivus. i do know some Simpson's trivia. 
So... how many SGs visited you at work today, hmmm? 
Seriously, though, it was like an unscheduled SGFredericton event at the mall today. I saw no fewer than 3 SG folk. Weirdness.

the day an SG visits me in work is the day hell freezes over. you lucky sod.
is that the back of your head in Synnove's pictures by the way?
actually, one of my new friends from North Belfast told me that his best friend's sister has sent in a set to SG
i have no idea who she is, i don't think she's even a member. who knows, maybe hell will freeze over sooner than i think. (yeah, right).
Merry Christmas Merry
Enjoy your two-day holiday 
p.s. have you ever been invited to your bf's yuppies parties?

Ugh, I don't even want to talk about all the shit I've had to deal with in the last few days. 
I also don't want to go to work in three hours. I'm getting really sick of spending so much money every day that I work (today is day 9 of 11 in a row)... there's no place for one to store a brown bag...

aren't you heading home for christmas? (or would that be worse?)
aren't you heading home for christmas? (or would that be worse?) Random 'news':
* I'm fucking sick. Again.
* It's my friend Tanya's birthday on Tuesday. I got her some yellow duck slippers from where I work and I'm also making her a sock bunny based on instructions found in the latest issue of Bust. I will photograph the sock bunny when he is finished and post it here.
* My local mega-bookstore now...

I don't know what it means.

Random 'comments':
* That makes you like nearly all of my Sims. There's some shocking flu making its way round Pleasantville. And is it just me, or when you play Sims, do you start thinking that real life is also the Sims? Every time I wash a plate or fart I think I'm in some dull but oddly addictive video game.
* Pssst. Tanya told me that if there's one thing she hates, it's getting yellow duck slippers every year from where you work
* I used your handy link to look at Bust. It's at times like this I wish I was born as a woman in the 1980s. It's even got an interview with Devendra Banhart for heaven's sake. Maybe I should get Bust by mail-order
*
So if my knowledge of Americana is up to scratch, the Hamptons is a rich man's holiday villa, right? If so, I would be willing to bet that--- given my current company of wealthy East Coast ivy league/trust fund Americans at University ---your boyfriend is currently hanging out with somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody that I know. The Six Degrees of Mary Green.
* Three weeks ago, my Poundstretcher-managing friend moved from the Newtownabbey store to the Bangor store, after he collapsed from overwork about five weeks ago. In actual fact, he was told by his higher-ups that he should move, so with some reluctance he did. Today, though, he's pretty damn happy: the Newtownabbey store got firebombed by dissident Republicans last night. It was headline news this morning, until getting knocked into second place by the the fact that the UK's largest ever bank robbery took place in Belfast last night. We sure know how to get into the festive spirit in this country 
On the plus side:
* Zeke are playing here in March! woohooo!!!!
Get well soon Maz
p.s. next time, take pictures!!!
Poundstretcher. Work Blows. (Up).

My hands hurt.
I think I might shave my legs today.
I'm too tired to read this thread, but I have a mad hate on for the holidays for a lot of reasons. Not the least of which is getting paid the lowest amount they're legally allowed to pay me to stand around the mall being subjected to Xmas musak and waiting on people who...

I've been working for the last two weeks as well. Sunday is the last day for a while. We only have a couple nights next week. Im gonna enjoy the break and hopefully the money will be enough to be sufficient. I would love to go home for christmas. Next year we might be able to afford to do that.

awww you 
looks like you've been having an update orgy lately cool!
i am soooo glad i've been spared a proper job for the next three years (fingers crossed). my first ever proper job was when I was 16--- one of those catalogue shops, like Index or Argos (if you get those over there). In fact, it was Index but anyway. Yeah. I had to do a month's full-time training in this mall, and outside the Index shop was this fucking video game with the same tune repeating every 3 minutes.
It drove me nuts, on top of the job being crappy. I got sick and had to take a week off haha. meh.
can we vote for a picture of your hairy legs?

It seems that I spoke too soon, as SG has indeed delcined both of my credit cards. I got an email this afternoon saying as much, but this does not explain why I am still here. Anyway, I may go grey at any time. Please do not be alarmed, I shall return shortly after I send my parents yet another email begging for cash... 3rd...

when SG rejected my card they waited around a week and sent me two or three emails before they closed my account
so you may have more time than you think

Bitterness is perhaps a better word to describe what I meant. Where do you go to school anyways? What are u taking?
Thanks for the Canadian welcome, I've always wanted to live in Buttfuck
