Fucking A
I'm in such a rotten mood. I can't seem to get out of it either. This shit has been going on for weeks, and I seem to be able to suspend it at times. However, I can't shake off the mood while I'm at school. Every day, I seem to hate this place and the insipid people it breeds.
There was an NTSO meeting today. I wanted to scream at everyone about being blindly positive. Just stop.
Ugh. I can't even think clearly.

Toll house cookies!
I just made some tasty Toll House cookies for the NTSO bake sale tomorrow. I packaged them in little plastic baggies with name tags telling people what type of cookie they are and decorated the bags with animal and vintage computer stickers.
Texas State Students will have two reactions:
1. "Oh my god! What is that?" (in reference to the sticker with a picture of a 5 1/4 floppy disk.)
2. "Oh my god! What are Toll House cookies?" (I labeled them that way.)
I'm old school AND a hater.
The man upstairs is moving out. Him and his friend are making loud thumping noises, playing country music, and yelling about what they would have liked to do to Tiffany-Amber Theissen. What does all this mean for me? No more cigarette ashes on my patio furniture.
In other great news, I friended Buck on Facebook. He was always such a fucking jackass, but in a way, I was never bored. The main reason I did this was to gain some insight on a character I'm crafting based on him. The other reasons? I love trainwrecks.
One last thing before I go. Today I was called out in the beginning of class by my poli sci professor. He told me to see Delaina Toothman (what a fucked up name) about my absences. When I went up to her to inquire, he approached me and the other two students in the same predicament and started lecturing us about coming to class more often. I felt my face burning up, because I knew I only had two absences and he had no right to talk to me like that. I'm not one of those retarded-ass eighteen-year-olds. If I looked 27, he wouldn't have spoken to me like that. I'm pretty sure of it. Anyway, I went back to Delaina's office where she told me it was a mistake and that I in fact only had one absence. So, fuck Leder.
And later, during the sausage sale, I yelled across the quad when I saw Delaina, telling her to buy a sausage because she owed me one. Take that, you big fat, repetitive, Greek bitch.

Eureka!
I finally figured out how to cultivate a story out of my state school experience. I'm using an amalgam of incidents, from the time I was bitten by a state school "client" (that's what we called the patients), to the time I called in drunk.
What I'm having trouble with right now, though is the name of the protagonist. I thought of Gracie Turk, but maybe that's stupid. I don't know.
I'm not sure if I should workshop this story or not. I have another story featuring the love of my life, Stella, that I was thinking of workshopping. The one part of the story I'm hesitant about is when while high, Roger tells Stella that he wants to compose a symphony of queefs for her. Just imagine Wilson talking about that...ugh. But it would be great to think about all the men in my class shifting in their seat as they read the story.
Yes, yes, I know...shocking statements in a story are a cheap gimmick. But I have this memory of "the symphony of queefs" and goddammit, I want to fucking use it!

Bye bye, baby
I went out for coffee with a dear friend of mine who has a conflict with someone I barely recognize as my best friend anymore. She's getting married in a few years, and from the looks of the wedding blog, is turning into a bridezilla. Mike and I commiserated over her obsessive alterna-wedding and I realized that oh shit...I'm in the wedding party. I fucking hate weddings.
Later, Mike told me a few things that Jen had been saying about Adam. Apparently, he's not a real man because he doesn't talk. Oh and he's either a bum/slimey/stringing me along because I don't have a ring. (For the record, I started the discourse on the ring as somewhat of a passive-aggressive way of pointing out how ridiculous her ring blog was.)
FUCK that. FUCK HER. Fuck her backstabbing, shit-talking ways. The moment she turns her back on anyone, it's non-stop bullshit streaming out of her mouth. If she ever had a problem with Adam, she should have come forward and said it to my face. Instead, like a coward, she told Mike and honestly expected him not to tell me.
A girl next to me in NTSO just told me I'll be the worst bridesmaid ever. I'm looking forward to that.

Well, well, well
As of right now, I have the illusion of having the internet. I have a weak wireless connection to the apartments' resident wireless. I've looked up a few ways to boost this, but the contraption Nerdy Guy Mike wants me to build with a salad bowl, my cell phone, some tinfoil, and an ethernet cable would clash with the chintz. That, and I would feel like a moron. Or quite possibly intellectually ghetto.
And as my internet browser provides me a handy-dandy little weather tool bar, it occurs to me that it might have been freezing last night. If that happened, my plants are probably dead, as I forgot to bring them in. Crap.
My financial aid check was directly deposited the other day. I worked out my budget last night just to find out that I can't quit my job just yet. Fuck. If I have one more day like yesterday, who's to stop me from going on break and not coming back? Even when figuring in the bus passes for all three months, I was still two dollars shy of making it. Ugh! And then what happens in June, when I can't pay rent? So I'm stuck at my job until something better comes along.
Which reminds me that if I want the Talbot's Women's Scholarship, I really need to get to stepping...
On another note, my sister-in-law is using Facebook to guilt me into coming to see her little brats. I'm supposed to take time out of my life to go to "big D" (ummm...Dallas?) and meet them at Six Flags. Okay, fuck that. One, I hate amusement parks, especially those owned by Warner Brothers. Two, I'm not overly crazy about having to hang out with little kids who think I should love them just because we're related.
So, in the spirit of being petty, when I saw that Lydia had joined the cause "Abolish Abortion," I joined the group "Zero Population Growth." Fuck them all.

Le sigh...
I'm using the business office to the best of its ability right now. Even though I don't currently have the internet in my home, this place isn't so bad. And not having the internet has allowed me to peacefully read more books, study without interference, and focus on household tasks. I do miss the awesome internet goodies I had stored on my computer, however...like Trillian.
Ah well. I guess I can do without all that. It's not too bad of a trade off. And once Adam gets this itty-bitty laptop, I can go out to the pool, or even Epoch and internetz. Yay!
The fashion show went pretty well the other night. I wore a black and pink flowered sparkly number with a magenta velvet coat over the whole thing. The only thing that looked totally stupid was my shoes. Amy made my eyes look like a freak, but ummm...well...I guess that's okay. There were some chicks there who had jewels all over their lips, so obviously I'm just not bedazzled-lip-freakery cool. Well, fuck it, because I don't care. Puppet gave me a really neat head feather clip in exchange for my "hard" work. It occurs to me that I should do something for her in exchange for her awesome friendship. Notice how I didn't quote "awesome" in the last sentence.
Which sadly leads me to think about how destitute I actually am. I spent my last $28 on groceries tonight. I still have some money left over...about $17 in my pocket and $14 in the bank, but that's some slim pickins. I bought my favorite DiGiornos pizza for xmas day, which is all I'll really need, along with my book and a sketchpad.
Adam is in Sugarland. He wanted to go today, because he had this skewed idea that the roads would be icy tomorrow. He didn't tell me about this idea until this morning, which made me very sad. I spent part of my workday somewhat morose. I miss him, but I still have the animals. That's solace, right?

Ugh...more
In lieu of my brother appearing on facebook and friending me, I'm about thisclose to deleting my facebook. Heartbreaking for him, maybe, but I don't want my family to find me...EVER. I just want to cut the ties forever, which might even mean changing phone numbers or what the fuck else ever.
Of course, this also means that I will have to delete the tie that binds me to my friends. I've already considered this. Big fucking deal. It will just give them reason to email me or call me, instead of being so goddamned lazy with the social networking crap.
I'll mull this over for another few weeks. Chances are, I'm just in a rotten mood.
