what a day at the old salt mines.
apparently my computer at work is infested with gnomes that like to pound away with their tiny hammers at night until my main (frame? i dunno, but not the hard drives) gives up the ghost.
and i actually thought i might be productive today. ummm, yeah.

damn it all, i guess it's time to take ownership about the downturn my life has taken. it's altogether too easy to place blame and make excuses, but what it really comes down to is if i'm willing to work harder than i thought i was for what i want.
my boss and her boss say i need to be percieved as more approachable, and...

i. fucking. hate. other . people.
sad but true, i am so over having to deal with other people's ineptitude/disinterest/unresponsiveness fucking up my life.
even more so, i hate having a job where in just one day, my ability to move forward and grow in my company is shredded by someone else. i really don't want to have to cover 7 shifts, but i'll do...

Hi friend. Thanks.
I almost posted something about getting to know the raccoons 'better' if they looked like Erin and the word bestiality went zooming throught my mind, so I thought better of it.

Sorry about the job stuff. One of the reasons I like managing information and don't know if I ever want to try managing people.

patience seems to be in short supply these days. not just with me, but with most people i come across. i think that people get so self involved that they expect the masses to part when they have to make their nail/yoga/hair/waxing/whatever appointment, and god forbid they have to wait for someone else to try and fulfill their own agendas.... but i digress. customer service,...

I think I'm going to go see you tomorrow after work. I know you'll be doing set-up, but maybe I'll bring you lunch or something. I just want to talk, well, need to, and I'm sure you'll know about what.

so my roomate and i got into it the other day. well, we didn't really have a fight so much as we had a cold war.. we haven't spoken one word to each other in 2 days, but then again, she hasn't been home.
and we fought over the lamest thing, that she gets exasperated so easily. she was extremely rude to a checker at...

Hey there, In Seattle there is a fun nightclub called Catwalk that plays some good music. You'd have to see whats playing what night to find what you like.
Also, the store Toys in Babeland, (run by my friend,) has classes sometimes that are fun and educational. (And from the name you can guess the product and class topics.
Wednesdays at the gay club neighbors is drag night and thats always alot of fun. Also see whos playing at the Showbox while your there.
Have fun, be good, (or not,) and say hello to my hometown of Murrieta for me.

My personal favorite verve pipe cd is their self-titled release in 1999. However, the songs on Pop Smear have grown on me the more I listen to them. I discovered them when Villains was released and it's very good, too. If you ever want any "samples" let me know. I need to get into the mix trades one of these times.
why the hell am i still awake? ah, yes, it's because i worked 13 hours today for some fucking nimrod who was still all hopped up on crystal meth. i may be a big whinging crybaby right now, but i hate people who don't understand the basic concept of responsibility. i may hate coming to work some days just as much if not more than...

Happy Belated Birthday
Just wanted to say "hey" to a local SG fan.
"hey"
My sympathies to the eternal struggle of work. I have no cracked-out coworkers, but I definitely have some that are NEVER fun to deal with.
Not much interesting to say here, just spreading the SG love.
Peace

sick again... bleah. i'm always surprised at the interesting colors your body produces when trying to heal itself.

Hi hi! I need your email address if you feel comfortable giving it to me!!!
it always trips me out to see the same stretch of highway, or scenery that you suddenly see in a whole new way. yesterday all the details jumped right out at me, and the desolate cowtown stretch of highway between my home and work seemed well, almost beautiful. sunsets and sunrises are amazing things, that the slant of the sun can create such brilliant colors...

I agree with everything you said! I miss school because I really believe that, while I am quite intelligent, I kind of need someone prodding me to use it, you know? Otherwise I just get caught in videogames and divebars. 
That's not entirely true, but true enough.
As regards my art, though, I just think I need a new perspective. I'm digging what I'm doing, but I feel like I keep trying to attainsomething, I don't know what, in it, but on my own I'm getting there really slowly AND, by not exposing myself to more proper art education I'm cutting off a hell of a lot of experience. Just seems like the right thing to do. I'm really fucking excited about to be honest.

isn't it strange that you can wake up in the morning with these grandiose plans and then somehow, along the way, all those plans take a dive and it seems like a small victory just to have washed your sheets, make the bed, and to take out the trash?

That's awesome that you might go to the show. I'll be looking forward to meeting you. Glad you liked the pics. I like yours too. Wouldn't mind seeing more.
When my grandpa died a few years ago I didn't really feel sad until I got to the funeral, and then I completely lost it. Actually, I felt a little bad for my ex-girlfriend having to deal with me. Hope your ok with it. And I completely agree, customer service makes it really tough to have any faith in humanity.
I think I like you, glad we met.

so today is the funeral, man do i hate these things. saying goodbye seems to me an event that should be more personal, and less of a gathering. it makes me feel odd to mourn as part of a group.

It'll be ok. We all muddle through, I guess that's the best we can hope for in this world anymore.

i am sorry, too, for your loss. thank you for the enouragement. i'd like to hope i am returning the favor, but i think NickySonic summed it up with "we all muddle through." he's right, but in a positive sense. it's what we were built for, muddling. we're good at it. you'll find the strength you need. it's there, even if you have to dig a little.
keep on keepin' on, sister!

as xmas nears closer, i begin to look upon those who bustle into my work full of holiday spirit both maddeningly and curiously. working retail pretty much kills any holiday cheer i might have been able to muster...thank god for liquor.

Merry Christmas.

I see you like Tori. I should have guessed by your username. I love her too. I have every CD of hers. Most of her CD singles. I even have the Y Kant Tori Read CD even though it has a lot of bad 80's type of music on it.
and i would say the same for yourself...
now before i go bother your friend...
fave book:
either the perks of being a wallflower...or choke..
and current music:
the fire theft and sun kil moon
(new bands from old favorites)

...oh there it is! Seasonal Beer! My Yuppitude has escaped, and my prep-school, private-U ass gleams in the sunlight.
Where shall you take your roadtrip.. I recommend somewhere warm. I'm going back to GA in a couple of weeks as it is still cold here.
