I DIDN'T GET ANYTHING DONE TODAY. I SLEPT FOR 12 HOURS LAST NIGHT (I HAD A DAY OFF, YAY!) AND WHEN I FINALLY GOT UP, I WAS SO CONFUSED I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO. THEN 4 HOURS LATER WHEN I WAS FINALLY READY TO DO SOMETHING WORTHWHILE, IT WAS ALREADY GETTING DARK. WHEN I GOT HOME AT 4:30, I JUST ATE AND READ THE INTERNETS AND WATCHED TV AND NOW IT'S ALREADY 9 PM AND... WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

I WAS TOO SICK TO GO TO MY FIRST BAR REVIEW CLASS LAST NIGHT. THAT DOES NOT BODE WELL FOR MY SUCCESS ON THE BAR EXAM.

HOWEVER, I AM NOW ENROLLED IN THE AUDIO SELF-STUDY CLASS INSTEAD. I CAN STUDY FOR THE BAR IN MY JAMMIES. THEY PUT THE LESSONS ON AN IPOD...ISN'T THAT CUTE?

2007 WILL BE A TIME OF MASSIVE CHANGE AND SELF-RENEWAL, ALTHOUGH HOW, I STILL HAVE NO IDEA. I PICTURE MYSELF IN AN EMPTY ROOM WITH HARDWOOD FLOORS AND HIGH CEILINGS GOING "WHAT THE FUCK?"

posted by Lipstick Thespian 04 January | 14:16
SPECKLET, I CANNOT SHOUT ABOUT GOOD THINGS. IT IS NOT IN MY CHARACTER, YOU SEE?

I HAVE TOO MUCH WORK. AND IT IS GOING TO BE LIKE THIS TILL MAY. OF COURSE WORK HAS NEVER BEEN MY PROBLEM.

SOME PEOPLE ARE AVOIDING ME. I AM EITHER SURE OR PARANOID. BUT I DO NOT LIKE IT. I WILL NEVER LIKE ANYONE AGAIN.

MY LANDLORD DID NOT CALL OR SHOW UP LAST NIGHT TO LOOK AT MY DANGEROUS CEILING AND MY BROKEN WASHER!

I HAD BBQ PORK SOUP FOR LUNCH FROM A NEW CHINESE PLACE AND THERE WAS AN ARTERY IN TWO PIECES OF PORK! IT WAS GROSS AND BIG AND ARTERY-LIKE!

I THINK I'M GOING TO NICK'S TONIGHT TO PLAY POOL AND ENJOY ADULT BEVERAGES! YAY BEER!

ALWAYS PUT A "RSVP BY" DATE ON YOUR INVITATIONS!! IF YOU DON'T, YOU WILL PLAN FOR A 6-CHILD BIRTHDAY PARTY, ONLY TO HAVE 9 PEOPLE RSVP "YES" 2 DAYS BEFORE THE DAMN PARTY!!!!!! EVEN THOUGH YOU SENT THE INVITATIONS OUT A MONTH AGO AND EVEN INCLUDED YOUR E-MAIL SO PEOPLE COULD RSVP CONVENIENTLY AT ANY HOUR!

AND YOU WILL BE SHORT EVERYTHING BECAUSE YOUR GUEST LIST TRIPLED WITHOUT WARNING!!!! AAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGH!!!

THIS MORNING WAS INSANE AROUND MY HOUSE BECAUSE THE FRONT DOOR KEY HAD GONE MISSING. THUS I DIDN'T GET TO EITHER EXERCISE OR SHOWER BEFORE WORK SO I FEEL NOT ONLY GLOBBY BUT ALSO GROTTY. BAH.

NOT ONE OF MY 9 CELL LINES SHOWED KNOCKDOWN!!! I WILL NEVER GET TO GRADUATE AT THIS RATE. WHY AREN'T THEY DOING WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING? WE BOUGHT THEM FER CHRIST'S SAKE SO THEY WOULD DO WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO. I HATE SCIENCE HARD!

I GAVE MY FRIEND AND HIS FAMILY MY OLD CANOE AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO PICK IT UP AT MY PARENT'S! YAY FOR HELPING NEW FAMILIES!

THE NEW SERIES OF 'er' STARTS TONIGHT IN ENGLAND (BUT ONLY IF YOU HAVE SKY OR CABLE TV I THINK). IT'S THE ONE SHOW I'VE NEVER MISSED AN EPISODE OF - EVEN AFTER GEORGE CLOONEY LEFT - AND LAST SEASON IT ENDED ON A GRIPPING CLIFFHANGER WITH DR KOVAC INJECTED WITH SOMETHING AWFUL AND SAM KIDNAPPED BY HER PSYCHO EX-HUSBAND SO I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO SEE IT TONIGHT.

NO SPOILERS PLEASE!!! NOT EVEN JOKE ONES.

I AM STILL WORKING ON MY YEAR-END SELF-APPRAISAL AND HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR THE LAST 2 DAYS. IT'S DUE TOMORROW AND I KEEP PROCRASTINATING AND PUTTING IT OFF BECAUSE IT'S JUST A PAIN IN THE BUTT TO COMPLETE.
ON THE OTHER HAND, THERE'S BEEN LOTS OF PROGRESS ON MY CONDO SITE AND I KNOW BECAUSE THERE'S LIVE FEED ONLINE AND I CHECK IT ALL THE TIME LIKE A COMPLETE GEEK. RIGHT NOW, THE CRANE'S MOVING SOME HEAVY LOOKING TUBE THING-Y AROUND THE SITE AND I'M EMBARRASSED TO ADMIT THAT I GET AN ODD LITTLE THRILL WHEN I SEE THE LITTLE MEN MOVING ABOUT ON MY SCREEN.

SOME TEAHCERS JUST COMPLAINED ABOUT ME ON AN EVALUATION. THEY SAID I WASN'T VERY KID FRIENDLY. I'M VERY KID FRIENDLY. I'M JUST NOT PARTICULARLY TEACHER OR PARENT FRIENDLY. STILL I FEEL SAD AND BAD ABOUT IT.

I SPENT SEVERAL HOURS ON NEW YEAR'S MORNING (MAYBE 6 AM TO MAYBE 2 PM) DRUGGED OUT OF MY MIND ON I WISH I KNEW WHAT AND WANDERING UMBRELLALESS THROUGH THE RAINY STREETS, PORING THROUGH MY REGRETS, GRINDING MY TEETH TO STUMPS, PANICKING ABOUT THE PAST AND GENERALLY FEELING LIKE A LIAR AND A SUCKER AT THE SAME TIME -- OPTIMISM FOR ME HAS A SPIKE ATTACHED, ONE THAT LEADS ME TO DENY MY FAILURES AND SEE ONLY SUCCESSES, AND LIE TO MYSELF OUT OF A MISTAKEN SENSE OF SELF-PROTECTION OR -PRESERVATION, WHICH LEADS ME TO LIE TO JUST ABOUT EVERYONE BECAUSE EVERYTHING LOOKS SO FUCKING GOOD THAT I GOTTA GET WHACKED OUTTA MY TREE TO SEE THE BAD!!!

I'M ALIVE, THOUGH, I GUESS, AND I'M SICK OF KILLING MYSELF!! THERE ARE SOME THINGS I WON'T DO ANYMORE! BRAVO!

AN HOUR IN THE DENTIST'S CHAIR! TWO FILLINGS, IN DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSITE CORNERS OF MY MOUTH! ONE OF THEM CAUSED MY DENTIST'S BROW TO FURROW WITH CONCERN!

NOW, FIVE HOURS LATER, THE NOVOCAIN HAS STARTED TO WEAR OFF, AND THE THROBBING HAS BEGUN! IT'S GOING TO BE A BAD NIGHT!

THE GOOD: WHEN I CAME OUT OUT AND SMILED AT THE RECEPTIONIST, SHE BURST OUT LAUGHING AT MY LOONY TWISTED NOVOCAIN-RADDLED SMILE. IF YOU CAN CRACK UP THE DENTAL RECEPTIONIST, YOU KNOW IT'S EXTRAORDINARY! BONUS: I GOT TO WANDER ALL OVER TOWN WITH A BEWILDERING CROOKED GRIN!

BECAUSE I AM A GOOD SPORT, I POPPED BY TO CRAZY-SMILE AT MY PARTNER AT WORK.

STILL I FEEL SAD AND BAD ABOUT IT.

To quote my late grandmother, "UP THEIR ASS WITH A PIECE OF GLASS!"
They're probably just jealous that the kids like you better.

WHY DO MY HOUSEMATE AND HER VERY DUMB BF HAVE TO BE HERE? HE HAS HIS OWN PLACE SO GO THERE AND BE ALONE AND LEAVE ME AND THIS APT IN PEACE! BF: YOU ARE A COMPLETE IDIOT AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY SHE STAYS WITH YOU WHEN YOU HAVE PROVEN TO BE A WHOLE NEW CLASS OF MORON AND EVEN HIGHER MAINTENANCE THAN I AM (WHICH IS SAYING A LOT) AND WHEN MY FRIEND "G" IS HER FREAKIN' SOULMATE EVEN THOUGH I DON'T BUY INTO THAT STUFF BUT HE IS AND SHE SHOULD BE WITH HIM AND NOT YOU, YOU LITTLE CRAP-WEASEL!

WOO! OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL INTOXICATION LEFT A MESSAGE SAYING SHE'S GOING TO TOWN TO GET ME A NEW FRIDGE! 'CAUSE SHE DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THE ONE SOMEONE DROPPED OFF! SO I DON'T HAVE TO CLEAN THIS ONE!

ALSO, I DECIDED TO MAKE ANTHONY BOURDAIN'S 7 HOUR LEG OF LAMB FOR NO APPARENT REASON EXCEPT THAT I HAD A LEG OF LAMB IN THE FREEZER AND LOTS OF TIME AND DIDN'T WANT IT TO GET FREEZER BURN, AND THEN A FRIEND CALLED TO SEE WHAT I WAS DOING! SHE HAS NO WOOD RIGHT NOW AND HER TOILET HASN'T WORKED IN AGES SO SHE'S BEEN HAVING TO USE THE OUTHOUSE, SO I TOLD HER TO COME OVER AND EAT YUMMY FOOD AND SLEEP IN A PLACE WITH HEAT AND A WORKING BATHROOM! WOO! 'COURSE DINNER WON'T BE READY 'TIL 10 BUT THAT'S PAR FOR THE COURSE FOR ME ANYWAY! SPECKLET, IF YOU BRING THOSE PECAN PUFF THINGIES YOU MENTIONED IN DC'S THREAD YOU CAN COME TOOOOOO!

MY LAWYER SAID SHE CAN'T HELP ME WITH THE HORRIBLE DESIGNER AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND I NEED. SHE TOLD ME TO CALL LEGAL REFERRAL BUT THEY'RE ONLY FOR INDIGENTS--THEY WERE VERY ANNOYED LAST TIME I CALLED. I JUST DISCOVERED THAT MY WINDOWS WEREN'T INSTALLED PROPERLY; I WAS GOING TO REPLACE THEM ANYWAY, BUT THIS WILL HAVE TO BE MUCH SOONER. NO ONE HAS TOLD ME WHAT THE RESULTS OF THE CONDO BOARD ELECTIONS WERE, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BUILDING SITUATION IS AT THE MOMENT.
MY BRAIN KNOWS NOT TO TAKE SOMETHING SOMEONE POSTED ON ANOTHER SITE SERIOUSLY, BUT MY GUT WANTS TO LASH OUT. I WANT TO BE FAR AWAY WITH MY OTHER NEXT NEW YEARS AND NOT DEAL WITH POLICE BARRICADES.

I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET ACUPUNCTURE AND I FELT MUCH CALMER FOR HOURS.
