School’s out and I finally found a job, so my days off are typically spent in a flurry of aquarium maintenance—which is NO joke when you have six aquariums—and naps. My evenings belong to Netflix. Netflix is always a little risky, because my personal recommendations can hold anything from Dora the Explorer to Children of the Corn. Once, it recommended Toddlers & Tiaras. Another...

What I should be doing: Studying for Thursday’s anthropology test.
What I am doing: Watching bunny videos on YouTube.
Bunnies will always trump paleolithic cave art. Always. Aside from the prevalence of cooters in aforementioned cave art, which I find fascinating, I’m kind of bored.
The bunny videos are a means of relaxation. In the last 48 hours, I’ve applied for 800 jobs....

Still sick. This should be illegal.
I slept for 12 hours, but don’t feel all that much better. I’m stuck in the apartment with no food, and no medicine. Back to bed, maybe?

Thursday
Some days, I like my job. People are friendly and understanding, even when they’re having some sort of trouble. Needing an appointment to speak to someone at the Genius Bar really isn’t the end of the world, and coming back at a later time (or date, even) is perfectly acceptable. And then there are days like today. People are rude and impatient, even when I’m doing my very best...

It's Friday, y'all!
a) I just had dinner at Soccer Taco. As usual, I ate too much, and now I feel like I might explode at any minute.
b) I’m trying to prepare myself for a 12pm-9pm shift tomorrow. I loathe that shift.
c) I’m going to post a lengthy blog entry this weekend.
That is all. Good night.
Movie Day
On the schedule: The Duchess, The Wrestler, and The Queen.
Derby Girl: Two Ways
Originally posted 5/3/08, now relevant because I’m going roller skating next week and the, “Hey, you should totally be a roller girl,” comments are starting to pour in.
Someone once told me that I’d make an excellent Roller Derby Girl. It didn’t surprise me, because he didn’t know me very well, and I do seem sort of edgy, what with my multiple tattoos and facial piercings.
He...

Tonight, I bowled. I got two strikes, a spare, and countless gutter balls. I bowled with a ball that I chose because I liked the color (swirly light green) rather than its weight, but, in the end, it was a good choice. Now I’ve showered and washed away both my makeup and my straight hair, and it is time for bed. Good night, my friends.
FML
I drank too much at Cameron’s last night. To say I’m hungover would be an understatement. I look like hell. I feel like hell. I can’t stop puking. Even water makes me sick. FML.
Product Review-YTC Lip Glosses & Tints
It’s no secret that I love Yes To Carrots products, so I jumped at the chance to review the new line of lip glosses and lip tints—especially when the friendly folks at YTC were willing to ship them directly to my door. Here are my observations:
The glosses are wonderfully sheer and not sticky at all. There’s nothing worse than sticky, goopey lip gloss, and YTC definitely...
Wednesday
1. I slept all day. No, really, all day.
2. I’ve been testing the new line of lip glosses & lip tints from Yes To Carrots and I’m super happy with them. My favorite gloss is “Carrot Kiss.” My favorite tint is “Natural Smile.” They’re very non-sticky, non-gross, they’re 95% organic, and they aren’t tested on animals. I love this stuff,...
Old Post #1
I wrote this recently, but never got around to posting it.
I’m not sure what’s wrong with me. I’ve definitely gone from “medicated” to “drugged,” with alarming results. I worked for an hour today, but was sent home due to being crazy or due to being drugged. Maybe both. It’s a frightening thing, knowing that your behavior and thoughts are likely to...
Hey There
Every time I hear the song “Hey There Delilah,” it reminds me of the summer my Dad died. I must have heard that song a million times during the drive from Memphis to Tijuana.
Tuesday
Spring is here, and it’s very pretty outside. My eyes itch.
I want a new phone. Sure, I have a brand new phone and it’s great…for a 15 year old girl. I want a “big girl” phone, a smart phone. I miss my BlackBerry.
Mia is too big to be a lap cat, but that doesn’t stop her from trying. She’s currently walking circles around me, making her weird chirping...
Wednesday
I’m at a point in my life where I’m beginning to evaluate friendships and ask myself, “Why am I friends with this person?” This will lead to trouble, I just know it.
Ultra-Rare Shark Found, Eaten →
In just a short time, one of the rarest sharks in the world went from swimming in Philippine waters to simmering in coconut milk.
Seriously? I hate people…

Saturday.
I’ve really been neglecting my Tumblr lately; I haven’t felt particularly talkative, I guess.
I’ve been completely enthralled with The Tudors. I’ve always found the story of Henry VIII fascinating, and I’ve always believed that Anne Boleyn was a manipulative, spiteful bitch. I’ve worked my way through the first season, and I’m nearly through the second....
3 Lame Things
1. My face is breaking out. Ugh.
2. I was supposed to go to the mountains. Yay for rain ruining my plans to have pancakes and search for bears.
3. I’m completely addicted to The Tudors, so much so that I stayed up until 4am watching.

Sunday Six
1. Working all weekend is no fun, even if I did accomplish things. I took a Klonopin this morning, as I’m prone to do on days I know will be busy, and made it an entire day without scrambling or slurring words. FYI: If I’m drugged and make syntax errors and you make fun of me, I will hate you. Realize that the drugs I’m on are hardcore and that side effects DO occur.
2. Why did...
Wednesday
Today is my day off, and I have to spend it doing menial chores. Laundry? Blah. Cat boxes? Meh. Very frustrating, especially because I’m working six days straight after today.
I watched Mamma Mia! and The Nightmare Before Christmas before settling down to Indian food and American Idol. The food, boxed and pre-prepared, bought from an organic grocery store in Turkey Creek, was kind of bland,...
Mundane Monday
Today was very uninspiring, therefore I have nothing inspiring to impart.
I believe I need a change of scenery. My job does nothing for me, aside from providing a paycheck. My apartment is bland, something I’ve seen as temporary since the moment I moved in. I haven’t managed to carve a social niche, though I’ve given it an honest effort. I feel extremely disconnected from this...
Sunday: When Things Go Swimmingly
As it turns out, there’s nothing kinky about having a giant cage in one’s home.
Clearly, I need to explain. After work, which, due to Klonopin, wasn’t so bad, we stopped by the pet store to get pet stain ‘n odor remover. Each time we go in, we look longingly at the dog crates, knowing, truly, deep down, that we need one and have needed one for a long time. Today, we...
Saturday.
I’m picking up a 10am-6pm shift tomorrow. Do I want to? No. I hate working weekends, especially Sundays, but I felt like I couldn’t reasonably say no. Also? I need the money, especially now that I have to pay $50 for my stupid red-light ticket on top of trying to save for a weekend getaway to Nashville in the near future.
I need new mascara. I need a new life.
Friday Five (just a bit late)
1. Irony: Having a perfectly functional phone that I love, yet being so tired-of-and-bored-with people that I can hardly stand to answer texts.
2. Indignity: Getting a ticket in the mail from one of those detestable red-light cameras.
3. Irritant: My wrist itches like hell. I dearly want to scratch it.
4. Indigestion: Those spicy black bean (all vegetarian!) nachos really stick with you.
5....
Wednesday
Yesterday, I told everyone that Preston & I would be going to the mountains today. When I woke up at 9am, I asked myself, “Isn’t it a bit early for you to be up?” The answer? Yes. The result? I slept until 1:30pm.
When I woke up, Preston suggested going to Mama Blues for lunch. I agreed, knowing that we’d overpay for mediocre buffet-style Southern food, and dragged...
Tuesday Ten
1. I have a new phone. It is a purple Samsung Rant and I like it very much. My new number, in case you haven’t gotten it, is (865) 951-8290.
2. I think I may be coming down with the stomach virus that’s going around. If I don’t, great. If I do, fine; I could stand to lose a few pounds.
3. I would gladly stay in bed all day, especially with a warm, sleepy kitty.
4. My tattoo is...
New Number, Y'all!
Due to Sprint craziness, I will now have both a new phone and a new number. That number is (865) 951-8290.
No Phone
My dog—miserable, worthless piece of shit he is—spilled water on my phone, so it doesn’t work. I don’t have another phone to use in the meantime, so don’t bother calling or texting.
Back from The ATL
Y’know, I’ve never shopped so much in my life. Emily swears that it wasn’t hardcore shopping, but I beg to differ. I am glad to be home, showered, freshly tattooed, and, most importantly, heavily medicated (the way God and the Flying Spaghetti Monster intended me to be).
I am Jabba the Hut
I feel especially fat today. I saw myself on a workplace video and realized that I am now large enough to merit orbiting astral bodies and my own gravitational pull. So much for that self-love, self-acceptance bullshit. I need a double dose of elliptical with a heaping side of stop-eating-everything-you-lay-your-fucking-eyes-on-you-fat-fucking-cow.
