Dare To Be Stupid

16 May 2008 @ 05:30 pm

The emotional rollercoaster seems to be slowly grinding to a halt. Parents have patched things up (at least for now) and things are looking fair to good on the "not being homeless" front.

And on a much sillier note, mom said she'd buy me action figures.

Current Mood:

okay

At least I'm less likely to break an ankle.

You know, I make it a point not to destroy my feet with spiky high-heeled shoes, so it's kind of odd that I apparently have no problem destroying them by walking around the entire damn town in flip-flops.

(They didn't even hurt until I got home. Stupid appendages.)

(ETA: I can honestly say I've never had blisters in those exact spots before. >_O)

sore

~~... If that phone call I missed a few minutes ago was someone calling about a job, I swear I am going to break something.~~

Okay, forget that, I'm still in the running for both jobs and there's good news financially as well.

I think I just got emotional whiplash.

"And opening for Hasselhoff in Stutgart..."

... I don't even care how insanely fangirly it is, this just cheered me up immensely.

ETA: Okay, I could watch this man sing all freaking day.

Okay, I'm throwing this post open because I could really use some distraction. Fic, vids, pictures of puppies... whatever.

Spam at will.

My father keeps saying he wants to talk to me about something but won't tell me what, and my black Chucks are getting very close to being unwearable.

I get it, universe, you can stop now.

Almost 4:30 and still no phone call.

If anyone needs me, I'll be under my covers watching MST3K episodes and gay detective movies.

Simon Pegg has donated a drawing of his dog to a charity auction. Excuse me while I melt into a puddle of goo.

And in other Pegg-related news, the American Spaced remake has been rejected by Fox. ... I'm just going to let that little nugget of cosmic justice stand on its own.

Okay, my phone just nearly gave me a heart attack.

Still no word back form T&C Photo, but I do have an interview at JC Penney Portraits on Thursday at 12:30. I can always call and cancel if I do get the other job.

Sheesh, I should have started looking for this sort of work ages ago...

Current Mood:

surprised

Just did a bit of a friends list trim - as usual, nothing personal and feel free to defriend in return or not, as you like.

Random nerdy thought of the moment

Someone needs to write a crossover fanfic where Tony Stark meets Greg House. I don't even care that it makes no sense, the snark would be epic.

Work was boring today and I am annoyed at the world again for no particular reason I can figure out. >_<

I never used to be this down, I swear. If I don't get some good news soon, I'm going to... well, honestly, I'll probably sulk a lot and be a pain to be around. Which is pretty much what I'm doing now.

Meh. I'm just gonna work on icons and fic and hope the impending sugar high cures my bad mood.

I really should tell him to get lost, but... movie.

Once again, this icon is completely gratuitous

Interview went well. I won't hear back about it until Monday or Tuesday, but I think I've got a pretty good chance. Y'all, this may not be my dream job, but it's as close as I'm likely to get around here.

Some good karma returns would be nice right about now....

I don't know if it's because I'm tired or because it's cold in here or both, but I'm shivering like a frightened chihuahua right now.

And I'm pretty sure I had a dream about the Joker (from the comics, not the Heath Ledger version) reading and mocking slash fanfic...

I got nothin', folks.

At some point I really need to stop talking to myself...

Okay, self. Caffeinated soda at ten o'clock is a horrible idea. YOU KNOW THIS. What the HELL?

(And this icon is completely unrelated to the post, though I feel I should point out that the urge to caption it "Stop in the name of love" was very strong.)
