Memoirs of the Angst-Bitch

Time for Good News, Bad News with Nayami!

Good: My kitty seems to be improving somewhat with her meds. She does keep doing her pirate thing though.
Bad: I won't be able to hit up any Fringe events this weekend because I don't want to miss one of her treatments by being in D.C.

Good: I am so looking forward to seeing Inception this weekend.
Bad: I so don't have money to blow on movies with Otakon on the horizon.

Good: I love my job sometimes, especially when I get to talk to awesome people.
Bad: I am feeling distant from my workplace again, as more people keep leaving without me even knowing they had put in their two weeks. In this case, it was someone I thought I knew fairly well. I might as well work from a shack in the woods for all the connection I get from work. :(

Good: I am finished with "Empire of Ivory." It has been my favorite of the series, with good pacing, much more interaction with the dragons and a very compelling storyline. I can't wait to find out what happens to Laurence in the next volume.
Bad: I am still like number 70 on my waiting list for "The Passage."

Good: They are talking about making new Beavis & Butthead cartoons.
Bad: They may face much harsher copyright laws over the music this time. :(

Good: I am going to start eating healthy this week.
Bad: I have been eating atrociously all week (including Burger King) and now feel incredibly FAT, which is strange for me since I never worry about that sort of thing, outside of thinking I have fat thighs.

Good: Username purges will allow people to have the usernames they want.
Bad: I am a possessive packrat who opposes these things on irrational principal. Fortunately, I never choose good usernames so I doubt anyone will want mine. o/ PS, don't try to argue this with me. My viewpoint is irrational and unchanging.

Also, license plate of the week is "TO DSNY." D'aww

( Now to pick up where I left off on my writing meme thingie. Featuring: romance, protagonists and antagonists. )

I'm miffed that my night was ruined due to LJ maintenance and then to horrible eye problems. And to make matters worse, Lifetime has not put up its second episode of Runway and has instead linked the exit interviews (while calling them Episode 2). Gee, thanks, Lifetime. I feel bad that I missed the first two episodes anyway because I don't pay attention, nobody on my FL talks about Runway and I never watch TV. So far the new season looks better and has some actual talent. Nina and Michael don't hurt either. Though I want to slap Anthony, who really needs to learn how to shut up.

Despite going to work today, I'm pretty much laid up. I blame bad McD's food last night. All I wanted was a McDouble sob. I did somehow get some work done, but I mostly researched adult animation like "American Pop," which I need to hunt down and watch.

I've been having my RP woes again, some long the lines of not feeling good enough, and I thank piecrumbs again for sitting through my whiny spiel. I am seriously considering reducing a certain account to plus because there is no reason I should be paying full-price for a back-burnery character. But then again, that limits effect potential. Way to cough up those a la carte userpics, LJ. But I guess considering the economy, I can't really bitch much.

My dork friends got me the best present ever! It's a Tribble that even rumbles when you smack it. It's so fuzzy and cute. This is probably the only original Star Trek lore I know anything about because it always used to be my favorite when I was a kid. I think I'm going to name my toy Sonia. I put a bow on her.

We also watched Eagle Eye, which might not have sucked if any of us ever got past the fact that the entire premise was illogical and ridiculous. Also, we hated the mains. That didn't help. I guess watching people glance in terror-filled faces at cell phones and marquis signs sounded like a good idea to some people. Sorry.

I had other things to put here since as ranting about the parents who let their 6-year-old play GTA, which he considered enough knowledge for him to drive 10 miles to school in their Taurus. It really is a miracle nobody was hurt.

Also, about the LJ thing, I find it amusing that half of my f-list is up in arms about it and the other half doesn't even know what I'm talking about. Either way, backup is backup. Now what's this about archiving old entries? Out of pure curiosity.

I am an incredibly lazy person so I will probably not join in on this inksome trend until more substantial communities do. I might bookmark some friends' pages to stalk if they are truly abandoning LJ, but we'll see how this works out. Because when push comes to shove, LJ truly does meet all of my journaling needs outside RP ones. I like icons for my personal LJ sure, but I don't need them. I don't even really care about having ads on my screen. I just like rambling. I do think though that if LJ wants to maintain its base, IT BETTER GET ON THE BALL WITH THE USERPIC PROMISE.

My marathoning has been going well, and I'm in prime analytic mode. For anyone who knows what I'm talking about, please do not comment specifically about it, k?

I love how I can always find my car in parking lots by looking for the one that is worst parked. That is an accomplishment.

I am excited about an assignment again. I do so love my happy news, and this one is wild! Watch it devour time that should be spent working on my larger project.

As I haven't said anything about Veterans Day, I will point out that I celebrate it the way I always do: putting "Riding with Private Malone" on repeat for hours. I still cry.

Again woke up this morning at 6 after going to bed at 4 because apparently the dumbasses realized my brother needed to print something out, and his printer wasn't working. WHY they couldn't have brought this up anytime last night is obvious. I couldn't fix the printer because I don't know if it needs drivers, and of course my brother has Vista. But my brother was so bound and determined to not go to school, saying he couldn't print his project from any other computer because it used the incompatible Works 2000. I fixed that by copying and pasting into text. Then he says he has a headache and his eye hurts and his throat hurts and screams "fuck" at us for a while and locks himself in the bathroom. Note, you do not lock yourself in the bathroom when someone else in the house has cramps. So that didn't last. I told my father I am tired of my brother never taking responsibility for is actions and not to come to me AGAIN if my brother misses the bus, forgets his computer, cannot access something. Unless it is some time other than early in the morning. I can be reasonable. But I am not being woke up for this shit again. Especially when my reward is being threatened and cursed at for a solid half hour. I am also buying earplugs when I go to my eye appointment. I have had my fill.

Oh yeah, he also loves turning off my heat when I'm sleeping and not turning it back on when he goes to school. Selfish prick.

I didn't even notice LJ's new flagging thing until the other day. I figure it's just another layer of prickdom.

I am also trying to avoid the subject of other's bad moods because I can no longer help them in my frazzled state and bad karma is bad.

I missed both PR and my sliver of a chance of watching Pushing Daisies the other day because my TV is busted, and I have to drive 30 minutes away to fix it, and I'm too lazy to do so.

Also, YouTube give me my Enchanted music back!

I should upload my Geass mood theme I dled a long time ago, but I hate using PhotoBucket for such things, and I have to reset up my ftp server. But I do want to do it soon because I think I'm all but done with Naruto. It hurts me to the point where I don't care. I admit it. I don't care about anyone else besides Naruto and Sasuke, and I don't like what either have been doing lately. I miss my Naruto. ;; Plus, Geass gives me canon pics of Suzaku being non-conned by candy. How can I refuse?

I'm going to watch Gundam and then possibly log about that and Avatar 3. My interest in Gundam is currently one of interest and not OMG GUNDAM because aside from Wing, I have never been as hardcore in love with Gundam as I am with Geass. I enjoy it, but I also tend to drift in and out of interest with it. Politics get to me after a while. But Big Gay Setsuna's Big Gay Gundam is a bit hard to resist.

ETA: Yes bitches, I finally fixed my ftp after like three hours! Because the stupid system wouldn't tell me what to enter in as a local host and retarded me couldn't just go PUT IN CHAOTICDREAM.NU YOU MORON. Anyway, I'm going to fix my mood theme now.

Dear LJ,

Can you try to NOT cancel my account while I'm watching Oz next time? Thnx babe.

No love,
Nayami



Update: Still hate obsession with sex. Oh and the whole kill the governor storyline in Oz Season 4 is extremely far-fetched. It's a good thing Oz writes good characters because sometimes the shock factor is held in higher regard than the realism factor.

I can safely say that yesterday was without a doubt the worst birthday experience I've ever had. I couldn't do anything I wanted, my grandparents bitched about homosexuality and then about everything else imaginable and talked for six straight hours -- I swear this one time my grandmother stopped talking and I thought she had died! -- the restaurant I ate at sucked, I was stuck in said car for six hours and my phone didn't even work. I was going to do online stuff today but as a result of that monstrosity, I need chill time.

I also need to visit a few LJ pages in greater depth since I could only skim while I was away. I hear Geass is luring in some fresh meat. Excellent. Lulu needs more worshipers.

The only thing that didn't suck about yesterday was getting to read Zombie Powder. I like it so much more than Bleach because of the lesser amount of characters, and I'm just more interested in the storyline. Then today I learned Zombie Powder got canceled a while back, and now I don't know if I even want to finish it.

Also read DGrayman 3. ZOMG it didn't suck! Rhode is so fucking awesome! But, Viz, I'm going to smack you upside the head. Who the hell is Lavi? *sigh* I need to buy 4 right away now.

I think I'm going to spend the rest of the night, finishing up manga, brushing up on camp canon from the holidays and otherwise licking my wounds.

P.S. I want a Hiruma icon. Not just plain manga either. I want something spiffy and not anime. If anyone knows where to find, do share.

I am never creating a user name again. Holy hell. That took three hours! Three hours to settle on the very thing that I was originally batting around. Because everything I wanted was taken. Now I'm going to get like five hours of sleep and be miserable. Perfect. I'm an idiot. If this ever comes up again, I'm letting someone else choose for me.

Graham, you are not allowed to respond to this post. >_>
