Yays!

So last week was pretty normal, with some pretty normal requests. However, I still found myself in a bad mood most of the time. Not entirely sure why, could be because of a number of things I guess...stress from school, student loan and what have you. Anyway, so one day last week a roommate of mine says, "hey Liz, I kinda want to go to the library and I want to buy you a booster juice!"
"...alright. That sounds good."
Anyway, we go and of course have some booster juice and rock talk. Anyway we get back and my other roommate says. "sorry...I made a mess in your room."
I was pissed, first of all she shouldn't be in my room. Then her boyfriend says, "yeah sorry I did something in your room too."
I was even more pissed saying "that mattress can't take two people!!!"
So two of us went to my room to investigate. I walked in and saw my stuff moved around, but not a mess. Then the covers were lifted off my bed and the screamed "WE GOT YOU A NEW BED!"
Yes. They got me a real bed. No more wondering if my mattress will pop and I won't have anything to sleep on. I can now have people visit in my room and people can sit on my bed without me cringing and them getting offended. And best of all, I can sleep comfortably.

I know it's sad when I get excited about something so normal but...I'm simple. I still can't believe they thought enough to actually get me a bed though. Yes it was cheap and second hand, but still they thought of me and wanted to get me laid. They're sweethearts alright. Anyway, I can't wait to get to said bed, so only a short one today...yes yes I know I know thank God. :P

You know what really grinds my gears?

A number of things. The most recent being a recurring thing. People coming to me with bullshit problems. Especially if this person is a repeat offender. Now don't get me wrong, I do like to give advice and at least try to help my friends out when I can. There's just a few things that make me want to scream I DON'T FUCKING CARE, GET A LIFE. Those things include:

1) Relationship problems-- I have no idea why people come to me for relationship advice. I've never had one, so I first of all can't speak from experience. Secondly, I'm not exactly what you would call normal so, something that one person may get mad at, I would either enjoy or laugh about. Example: "He never calls me!"
Me: "That's fucking awesome! I hate the phone!"
It's a lame example but the only one I could think of.

Pretty much after this relationships are tied in, but let's continue.

2) Problems that can't be solved-- Someone comes to me with a problem and they don't know what to do about it. I come up with at least three solutions but none of them will work because of some other bizarre aspect you conveniently left out the first time you told me the problem. If you want help tell me everything first off, don't sit around and watch me waste time. I can do that without your help. Example:

"I'm so stressed out! I have a test tomorrow and I didn't study!"
Me: "So study now."
"I can't! I left my books at a friends house!"
"So go get them."
"They're not home!"
"Call them."
"I don't know their number!"
"Stop yelling at me."

3) People who have problems but don't say anything-- Ok, I'm the first one to admit, we all have bad days and get into bad moods. But for the love of God, don't sit around (in public aka the livingroom) being mopey or bitchy...or both. Not only is that going to make you feel worse but it's going to piss me off and make you feel worse. I don't like it when people yell at me for stupid things. Then get madder when I respond with a 'tone'. Look, either stay in your room or take a walk or something. At the very least say, "hey, I'm in bad mood, so bitches stay outta my way." Or, "I'm pretty pissed because this happened today..." At least then I know there's a reason behind the yelling and I can ignore it or make it worse for my amusment. Example:
"E.B.! You yelled at me for going after your food but you didn't even eat your vegtables!"
Me: "....what?"
"You came in and when I said I was about to eat your food you got mad and said 'why would you do that?'!"
Me:"....fuck you. How about that?"

4) Oh woe is me!--I know, I'm back on the relationship wagon again. I try to get out but they keep pulling me back in! We've all met this type. "I've always had abusive relationships, I don't know what to do. I can't ever be close to anyone again..." These piss me off the most. But still I try to help out despite the ulcer growing in my stomach from holding in anger. This also mixes with the 'problems that can't be solved' catagory. Now, I usually give the whole 'these things take time...stop crying you're embarrassing yourself...I mean it the food court is no place for this..." But they keep coming up with reasons of why they can't get over it. Again, I've never been in this position so maybe it's more complicated or difficult then I think. However, I find it hard to believe it is that difficult. You don't like someone anymore or the make you feel bad. Dump 'em. There. "She was horrible to me and lied all the time. So we're not together anymore. I feel like shit everyday." This I don't understand. If they were so horrible, why are you still pining after you breakup especially after YOU DID THE BREAKING UP?
Now, I can accept this within reason: "Yeah, we broke up I know it's for the better, but I still miss him a little bit."
"That will go in time. Then we can find you some new man meat."
"Okays!"
See what happened there? They showed intelligence in knowing it was for the better, and understanding that this shit takes time.
This is what I can't deal with: "I've been through so much in the past year, everyone says I'm acting different. I'm broken and I don't like being single but I don't think I can let anyone get close to me ever again."
Angrys up my blood just to type it. Alright, so first of all if you really are 'broken' you don't acknowledge it and tell people that unless that's what you, yourself and only you want to be known as.
Second: you think you're the only one who has to go through stuff? You're telling me you went through hell because of a girlfriend? My mom nearly died where were you to hear about that from me? Exactly no where because I deal with that shit myself in my way. To be completely honest next time you come near me with that shit I'm telling you to get a sex change you damn woman and go fuck yourself. At least when you're a woman it will be more socially accepted for you to watch your teen dramas over and over again while you cry into a tub of ice cream.

Well, I think that about covers it all. I feel much better now. But seriously, I gotta get a life myself. Resorting to putting everything I hate online? Who does that?
I'm out until I find something new to hate...

Pancakes.

Aren't random words fun? I certainly think so curtains.
Anyway, I decided I want to fail everything this semester so I bought yet another game for my ds. First it was Age of Empires: Mythologies....which is a lot better than Age of Empires (ds, no pc...pc is just fucking awesome). But now I bought Dynasty Warriors advanced. I was kinda hoping it would play like the ps2 version when you basically just run around and kill everyone that isn't in your army, but instead you move one spot at a time and it goes in turns. Maybe this is the way it has to be because the advance didn't have the power to keep things constantly moving or something. I really don't know how it works just that it does. But when you fight enemies you basically run around until they're all dead so it's still pretty fun. I like it anyway.

While at walmart I also stumbled upon Sacred 2. As you may have already read, I'm playing the first one currantly and am enjoying it a lot. Therefore I was excited to know that there was a new one waiting for me. So excited, in fact, that I had to call my brother then and there. He wasn't as excited and only laughed at me. Well at first he was confused cause he didn't get it I then told him I was just so excited I had to tell someone and he was the only one who I thought would care. Was I ever surprised. I scanned it to see if I could justify to myself getting it but it was too expensive. At the same time it was probably good cause I'm not finished the first one yet.
On the topic of these types of games Diablo 3 is either out, or should be out soon. I hope it doesn't take me as long to get this one as it did to get 2. I haven't remembered to look up when it's coming out yet though. I'll forget by the time I finish typing this.

I haven't been feeling well for the past couple of days. It's either one thing or a combination of a bunch of things. What I do know is that I have to go to the dentist soon. What started as nothing, then turned into what seemed like a crack is now a hole. So...I should get on that. Sucks though because it could be a baby tooth. Yes I still have baby teeth. Two I think, one does have a tooth under it, the other one doesn't. Something like that, I don't pay attention I just stare at the sticker box and hope I get one. I never do. :(
Anyway, it's going to suck to have to pay to get a baby tooth filled. Especially if its the same one the dentist back home was going to pull in the hopes that the new one would come down. This makes it completely obvious that I am not ready to grow up yet. And perhaps that I'll never grow up (I mean metally, I already know this is as tall as I'm going to get). I'm certainly trying my best not to.
Over the weekend though, I couldn't bring myself to get out of bed. It was pretty bad, I mean...yes I do realize I don't do anything anyway but at least I can usually move to the livingroom and chill out with everyone and be lively. I couldn't even feel happy. It really sucks. I'm much better on the happy front though...until I think of all the shit I have to do.

Anyway, that's all I have for now. Maybe something interesting will spring up for next time.

Just thinking...

So, I had made myself some food and was sitting at the table eating and thinking. I looked down at the general tao chicken I had microwaved. I started wondering who general tao was. Along with that I started wondering why they would do him the dishonor of naming, of all things, chicken after him. I kept eating, but there was so much sauce and it has a very strong taste I started thinking that I couldn't taste much chicken. Therefore all I was tasting was general tao. I threw up a little in my mouth.

I still couldn't taste the chicken.

Then I started thinking another random thing. Such as, why don't cats or any mammals really have belly buttons. Maybe they do but i just never found one. Or there's probably a perfectly simple explaination for it but I'm no scientist.

Well as for random thoughts i only have two. I have to work on this...
Since school started I haven't had much time to type any of these, well that and fast internet. Both of these things take up a lot of time. I just get so happy when I'm able to do things on the internet instead of wait. I'm starting to get a pretty good schedule on the go now, all I have to do is stick to it now. That is the hard part.

I was really happy the other day, because for awhile now I've been sleeping on a leaky air matress...I think I went over this...but I can't remember. Anyway, I went rummaging in the basement and found the other air matress that my brother had left here. I thought it was bigger so it wouldn't fit on the frame, but figured it would still be ok because if it did leak or whatever a flat floor would be better in my back then a metal rod. But it was about the same size so it fit perfectly on the frame! I can't believe I'm this excited about it...
Oh and I totally did talk about this before, it's coming back to me now.

I'm glad that it worked out or I was going to explode in anger at someone who didn't deserve it. Mostly because:
1. Seems like whenever I try to study, someone is bugging me to come out of my room or fix whatever problem they're having.

2. I'm constantly cold. My room is cold, for the most part upstairs is cold. But when I go down to the basement it's comfy and warm. Along with this, the cold problem could be fixed if it were for the cat. We have to keep the cat downstairs, door closed and no heat can rise up here...I think I made that clear now.

3. I go to the mall with a roommate and she buys a bunch of stuff like sheets, matress cover, duvet and the like for her queen size bed in the basement. Then I would go to my room and see the single air matress with the big dent in the middle because all the air is out of it, I could also see my breath.

I know it's nothing to really be mad at. It's not their fault I suck.

Anyway, that's all I have for now, and really I wanted to get that random stuff down before I forgot about it then I'd sit in my cold room trying to remember what that one interesting thing was...
ok so not that interesting...

Gaaaaahh....

So I am coming to you live from Halifax airport! And to prove I'm live....PENIS!
Anyway, yeah I'm stuck in Halifax a little longer than I expected to be. First of all, there was bad weather last night, so to make sure I could get to the airport I had to stay at my Grannie's. That's not horrible, I mean I got to eat at the casino and shop around with my brother, it was pretty nice to hang out before I left. I got an awesome hoodie too, only because I lost my grey one to the piles of clothes in the basement. So we chilled out, watched a movie. After that, I got up at seven to get ready and make the potentially dangerous cab ride to the airport thanks to snow and freezing rain the night before. So I get there, to find that my flight has been delayed again and that it might interfere with my connecting flight. Shit. Buddy says I might still make it though...oh and the shocker of this conversation was him showing me my boarding pass to get to Halifax and that it didn't have seat number on it. Apparently they overbooked the flight so even though I...er..my dad booked it in October I was still on standby. Piss. So luckily some guy decided he was going to fly another day and I got his seat.

So, I missed my connecting flight and am now stuck in the airport until possibly 450, if not then, then i do have a seat on a flight at 8 which means it will have taken me a full day, 12 hours, to fly from sydney to st. john's. Fuck.
Also, I managed to embarass myself further by trying to order starbucks by myself. There wasn't even a huge menu thingie. I was the only one there and they said hello so I panicked! I said something about a vanilla bean...I only saw one thing up there so I thought that's all I'd have to say. No. Her mocking expression told me no. So she asked "Vanilla bean what?" and I stood there like a deer in headlights. I had no clue, so she started listing...so many inos...I got something though so it worked out ok, I only lost some of my dignity. Too much dignity takes away you fun, that's what I'm going to say for now.

Strangely enough, with all this standby and different flights I get the strange feeling that I'll end up in St. John's, but my luggage won't. Especially with Air Canada. Anyway, I suppose that's it for now, I'm sure I'll have something else to complain about when I get...if I get...to St. John's. I know, I know could have been a lot worse :P

Here it goes again...

So, what seems to be an at home tradition for me is hanging out with this one person I have not seen in at least four months. Well the first time it was a little more than 'hanging out' but I won't get into that. At least not yet, I'll wait until I'm even more angry, instead of my normal everyday amount. Long story short I got the 'you go to school too far away' excuse.

Anyway, for some reason people come to me with problems. I've told them I don't really care but they tell me anyway. Sometimes I don't mind giving an opinion or helping out, but if you're not going to even consider my advice then don't bother. Also, if your problem is stupid like, 'I'm miserable in my relationship. I'm so confused I don't know what to do.' I've told you what to do dump him/her...it's really not that complicated. Then you get the whole 'but I love them'. REALLY? They make you miserable but you love them...That makes perfect sense to me. Anyway, stuff like that is basically what I had to listen to the car ride in, but we haven't seen each other in a while so I just listened. All the while thinking, you have to stop watching teen dramas. You'll feel a lot better if you do.

The whole night wasn't horrible tho. There was three of us, and we watched a movie then played Gears of War 2...well one played we watched cause to be honest I didn't want to embarrass myself too badly. I do that on my own. I was supposed to be home by one though, and when I asked what time it was he said twenty to two. So...inside I was pissed at myself. Mainly because I was thinking...I could have been home a half hour ago? Shit.

....This is why I have no friends.

Well, that and because I never leave my room.

I head back to Newfoundland on Thursday, hopefully this semester will be just as much 'fun' as the first. Fun is in quotations because I mainly just hope that this semester isn't going to be any worse. Walking in bad weather, being kept in the basement when people are over so I won't embarrass them, trying to make sure one doesn't use the stove, the other doesn't go on kijiji, and the third doesn't get back in the house. I can't control everyone, I'm sorry! Then there were people falling down stairs, creepy looking guys knocking on windows, and over flowing dishwashers with me on my knees holding glasses under the streams so the floor doesn't get full of water and suds. Trust me it wasn't my idea. Speaking of floods there was the flooded basement, and wringing out towels to clean it up. And...that cat.

Even though I went out, there's still nothing really going on. Maybe I should just stay in my room for now on.
