ERRRRGGGGH!!!! I have realized anew why i dislike talking to people (although the logic behind my discovery is a bit...yeah, it doesn't make sense). Anyway, I was out pushing carts at work, and I had five red carts. We're not supposed to push more than five carts at a time, because apparently we can't steer them if there are more. Also, blue carts and red carts do not fit together. But this woman comes up with a blue carts and is like, "Do you want this cart? No?" So I shake my head no. Then she puts the cart in the thing, and on passing me again she says, "Why don't you try 'no thanks'. That's nice, huh?" in a really rude way. I mean, wtf! I wasn't being rude by not saying anything! And why the eff would I say "thanks" for a cart? I'm not going to use it, giving me one more cart just makes me have to work harder without gaining anything from it. I mean, if she'd actually pushed the cart inside for me I would have said thanks. Also, if she had asked, "Do you want this cart?" and not continued by saying "No?" I would have told her, "No, that one's the wrong size" but I figured that since she said "No?" she already knew that it was the wrong size.

Anyway, she completely ruined my night, which I know is stupid, but it's true. I've been kind of emotional lately, and the fact that she was so rude to me when I wasn't rude to her at all just got me really upset, and then I was all angry and anti-social, and I didn't even smile at the little girl who said "hi" to me, although I at least waved, and then when I got back in I was all paranoid about whether me not saying "have a good evening" or "thanks" or "you're welcome" was going to come off as rude to the costumers, even though I don't normally talk to them anyway.

I! AM! SO! CONFUSED!!! I swear, every clock I look at says a different time. Well...okay, I'm exaggerating. But Sunday I woke up and looked at my watch and it said that it was 10:30. So I got up and took a shower and I get out and I look at the clock on the oven in my kitchen and it says it's not even 10 yet, and I'm SO CONFUSED!!! Until I remember that we set the clocks back. Then I look up at the clock in the kitchen wall a while later (yeah, wtf, we have two clocks in my kitchen) and it says that it's noon, and I'm like, "why isn't my mom back from church to take me to my Grammy's?!?!" But only a few minutes later I get up to get a drink, and the clock on the kitchen oven says it's only 11. Wtf!

Anyway, most of the clocks have been sorted out in my house, but two of my watches (I have three...) are still an hour ahead; My digital one which is also always five or ten minutes fast which I never wear because it's ugly, and the new one I have that also says the date and the phases of the moon ('cept I still haven't fixed that yet!!)

I have a cold D: Luckily it's not a really bad one, but my nose is super itchy and runs a little after I go outside, and I'm a bit coughy and I've been getting headaches like no one's business. Although the headaches might be because I need new glasses. Speaking of which, I have an eye appointment on November 24. But isn't that the day before Thanksgiving? Or am I completely wrong about what day Thanksgiving comes on?

In entirely unrelated news, Communications guy wants to go see Where the Wild Things are with me, but I don't want to go see it with him because 1) I've got stuff I'm doing on Friday, when he wants to see it, 2) I already watched it with Alicia, and although I really liked it I don't want to watch it again in theaters, thanks, 3) that would seem a bit like a date, and I am trying to make it 100% clear that I don't like him that way, because even though I told him that, i don't think he really completely got it.

Today at work when I was pushing carts, some guy asked me if we had smaller pumpkins inside. I knew we had wee teeny pumpkins, but I didn't know if we had any other size. And I told him so. Anyway, he went in to check, and he found some and bought, like, a friggin' cartload of pie pumpkins. He saw me again as he came out of the store and gave me a thumbs-up. So I gave him one back. For some really stupid reason, that pumpkin man and his thumbs-up made my day.

Also, I AM PUMPED FOR HALLOWEEN!!!! But SOMEBODY still has to make her dress. I have alos decided to wear tan tights under my pants, since I have to roll them up, that way my legs won't get cold. And if I do that I can be even more like Tombo, and NOT WEAR SOCKS!

Nah, I'll probably wear white ankle socks, too, anyway.

Also, I went to see Where the Wild Things Are with my little sister yesterday after the combo Birthday party for my Uncle Mike, cousin Dan, cousin Kristen, and cousin Dawn. That movie was so awesome!!! I almost cried a bunch of times, though, and apparently Alicia did. But I love that movie!!!

Okay, so first things first, my midterm was WAY easier than I expected it to be. We had an hour to do it, so before I went to take it I re-read all the answers to the quizzes we have taken. And the midterm just used questions from those quizzes. Like, not even worded differently or anything. It was the easiest thing ever. I finished in fifteen minutes and then I used another fifteen minutes to check over my answers. Anyway, I only got one question wrong, because it wasn't on the quizzes (it must have been in one of the activities I didn't do).

Second...Communications class guy and I were talking through email, and he sent me an email that was, how shall I put it, definitely that of someone who is madly in love. I figured it was time to tell him I don't want a serious relationship. So I emailed him back and told him I just want to be friends. then he emailed me back, and yadda yadda yadda. Anyway...I think he's still assuming that eventually I'll take the next step or something...which I don't think I will... Well, we've established an "only friends" thing here, so basically I'm thinking that it's okay for now, and once this semester ends I'll probably end up never seeing him again, and I can just sort of...let the whole thing drop. Yep. Situation diffused (sort of...) Yay...

Anyway, we had to pick topics for our final papers in one of my classes today. I picked kind of a vague thing, but I can hone it down later. It's mildly more interesting than the other choices, and I already did a little research on it when I did one of my journal article critiques, so, yeah. It's all about CIPA, also known as Children's Internet Protection Act, which basically is: school and public libraries who receive certain funding MUST filter internet sites so that nothing inappropriate can be accessed by children. Anyway, it's both a good and a bad idea, and depending on which school or which library, it will change how active they are about it, and how much content they filter, and what filtering systems they use, and yadda yadda yadda, all this crap... I think i can write ten to twelve pages... Now I just have to learn APA style! Ga-siiiiigh....

Also, I think I might need new icons. I don't use half of those, and three of them are angry, and it's not like I'm that angry...

Uuuugh... So, first things first, I have to walk to work today, ew gross, and I think my sneakers are still wet from all the rain yesterday. If they are, I have to wear my NOT work sneakers, and then feel bad if they get dirty. Also, I am very cold right now, and it makes my toes hurt, and my fingers not function to their fullest ability D:

In other bad news, I have to take an online midterm tomorrow. WTF!!! I'm glad I actually checked my school email for once, or I wouldn't have known. Not only that, but this midterm is time-limited, I have only an hour to take it. And, it's only available tomorrow, but this is the class where things are due on Thursdays. Wtf, teacher, way to make this confusing. What if I hadn't checked my email? I would have gone to that class site on Thursday to do my assignments, and then I would have realized I had missed the midterm, and there is no way to make it up.

Although...My online class where stuff is actually due on Tuesdays seems fairly easy for this week. I think. It looks like I just have to look at a couple of sites and learn how to write proposals, and then I have to pick a topic for a proposal that's due....in the future sometime. Anyway, I have an 89 in one class, but only a 79 or 75 or something in the other class D: I hate online classes. If I don't get my grades good my mom will be mad at me again, and I could be in danger of losing scholarships. But, in my not-so-good grade class, I have an opportunity to re-do the critiques from last week, because apparently my citations were wrong (and, wtf, I thought my APA citations were correct! That's what I did last time!!!) and I did one article that was too old, I guess (although I thought I was really careful not to do that!)

I'm feeling very down lately. Not constantly, but my overall mood of the past few days has been definitely not up-to-par. I dunno.

Also, this whole thing with that guy in Communications class is kind of stressing me out. Like, he is being very...persistent? Well, no, not really. Like he tells me it's okay to take things slow and stuff, but at the same time he's being very obvious about the fact that he's expecting this to be a lasting relationship. Which, yanno, it isn't even really a relationship yet, we only ever talk in class and after class while we wait for our rides. And he's super sweet and everything, but...yeah, no, I just can't see this being anything more than a friendship on my part. But, I don't know how to tell him that without breaking his heart, because he REALLY likes me, and he's very shy and socially awkward and sensitive and...I just really don't know what to do. I don't know how to diffuse situations. My idea of diffusing situations is to just go away from them and let them be someone else's problem. But...I can't really do that right now. And...I feel a little bad, but mostly not (and, god, I'm a terrible person) but when I had mentioned going out to the movies on Halloween he wanted to go too, but like, he planned to get his own ride and everything he just wanted to hang out with me and stuff, and at first I thought, "okay, this is cool, I guess. A very casual date sort of thing" but now I'm pretty positive I don't want a real relationship with him, so I lied to him and said we had changed our plans. I just really don't know what to do right now...

Also, my ear is acting up again. Really bad this time. It hurts just to swallow, and I know I should drink more liquids, because actually that helps (the swallowing pain comes from the section of the ear that connects to the throat, so if it's wetter it doesn't hurt as much) but I'm less likely to drink anything when it's cold, because a) I don't get thirsty very often b) If I do get thirsty I pour myself water and then forget I even did and c) I'm already cold and I don't really want to drink cold things, but the only warm drink I enjoy is cocoa and I don't want to drink more than a couple cups of that a day at most. And anyway, just drinking things won't help, because it's the whole ear that hurts, that's only a part of it.

I'M SAD AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT!!!!

I wish my mom would go to the doctor or something. For the last week pretty much she's been coughing and coughing, and she sounds like she's gonna cough up a lung or something. It kinds of makes me want to vomit just listening to it, it's really gross. Anyway, she probably just has a cold, but what if it's H1N1 or something? She should get it checked out. Plus, I want them to give her some sort of cough medicine to make her stop coughing so much, because, seriously, that coughing is really gross and really annoying, and it sounds like it friggin' hurts.

Also, I am SO tired. I dunno why, but I've been tired for, like, two weeks. It's ridiculous.

And today at work they forgot to give me on of my breaks. Again. I went from 12:30 to 6 without any breaks at all. 6 was when I got my lunch, and then I got a break at 8 or something, but i should have had another break before my lunch, too. Oh, well, whatever. All I would have done on break was sit and stare at the wall for fifteen minutes and have a cup of water and maybe eat a candy bar if I was hungry. No big loss.

My cat is making cute sleepy faces at me. I wanna squeeze him, but then he'll be upset and not so cute.

EDIT: HAHAHAHA, my cat woke up and saw a moth or something outside the window, and when he tried to step onto the windowsill he missed EPICLY and fell down. Like, he wasn't even jumping! It was just a step over!!! And he missed!!!!! AHAHAHAHA, how un-catliked of him xDDDDD I am way too amused...

I've made an important discovery, and it ties in to something I learned in Psychology. I have discovered that unless I am reading something completely enthralling, the sound of my mother's voice can easily distract me. Even if I don't care about what she's saying, or even if she's in the other room and I can't make out the words, just her voice itself will distract me from my reading (which is making my homework really difficult right now).

How this ties in to Psychology? Well, we learned that babies will favor their mother's voice over any other sound. I mean, as babies they like to listen to things anyway, it engages their brains, but they home right in on stuff their mom is saying. I guess that never really goes away...

Oh, I forgot to say that the other day in my Communications class we had to do a GROUP ASSIGNMENT!!!! )

Also, I have a dentist appointment tomorrow at 8, which means I probably have to be awake by 7, which means I should have been in bed half an hour ago. Also, my homework for one of my online classes is due tomorrow, but once again I haven't even started. But I have the day off work tomorrow. Oh, and I got my first grade in Communications for my first letter, and it was an A. I'm smart.

So...yesterday I went for a walk with my little sister up in the woods. First off, we saw this cat that we thought might be the cat on the missing cat posters all over our street. So I sat in the middle of the road (literally. But it's okay, no one drove past) while Alicia ran back to look at one of the posters. Anyway, we didn't know where the street was, so Alicia knocked on some guy's door to use his phone to try calling the people. But she remembered the phone number wrong. In the end the cat ran off again, and we didn't get in touch with those people D:

Anyway, after that we went into the woods for a walk, and we ended up at the remains of that house that Edward Arlington Robinson wrote about. And from there we made out way off the path, down a steep incline, and toward the stream that comes out near the road. So I thought maybe we could crawl across this fallen tree from one bank over to the other side and walk up to Rite-aid, but although the tree could hold us up, we both got scared and didn't do it. So we went under the fence and ran up through a bunch of bamboo to the street. But I think I hurt my knee ducking under the fence (in any case, I hurt my knee somewhere) and now today my hip started hurting, so I was limping all over the parking lot pushing carts today.

Also...I think I'm getting a cold. I'd better bring gloves to work tomorrow, since I work till 10.

And I am WAY into Host Club again. I'm reading the mangas, and then I'm re-watching the anime with Alicia, and all because I came across this Host Club amv and had a very strong urge to watch Host Club again. Oh! And the Alice in Wonderland parody they do in the manga is way different from the parody they do in the anime. I can't decide which I like better, though...

Online Library Class fumings )

In other news, it's very cold, and I hurt myself at work today. I had to unjam one of the bottle machines in the foyer, but when I opened it up one of the pieces came loose and it fell out and smashed into my leg, and now I've got two big bruises and my knee hurts. Also, i got home and stepped on a piece of glass because my mom broke ANOTHER cup and didn't tell me. Or, you know, it might have been the glass candy jar cover she also broke. Seriously, mom, wtf!!! Can't you learn how to NOT BREAK CRAP!!!!!

In better news, since I couldn't find Host Club 1 at Manda's when I looked, and since I have to reread 1 and 2 before I read the new ones we got, I went online last night and found a place to read it. Translation's okay, I think. Good enough to get by on, since I really only needed a recap.

So, last night I went to bed about 2:30 am, which is actually about normal for me, but then I woke up around 4 not feeling very good, and so I came downstairs to sleep on the couch (don't ask, I don't know why I always think that'll help) but got woken up around 6 when people were downstairs getting ready for school and there was lots crashing in the kitchen. So I went upstairs and tried to sleep, and eventually I did, but I slept until almost 2!!!! That is REALLY late for me! I would have slept later, too, except my mom was worried and came to see if I was okay.

Anyway, I work at 4 and don't get out till 10:30, and then I have to go to bed early to wake up early for work tomorrow, so I pretty much just wasted my whole day D: Plus I had to take a shower, so that took up about a half hour.

And I still don't feel so awesome.

GASP!!! I was just putting the recyclables outside, because tomorrow is trash/recyclable day, and as I was walking past my mom's peonies what comes running across my path but a SKUNK!!! Yeah, no joke. It's like, not even a foot away from me, and it comes running out and scuttles away under my dad's car before running across the street. I am SO lucky not to have been sprayed!

In other news, I spent an hour in the bottle room today, first crushing glass bottles (for about fifteen minutes) and then trying to get the lid on the full glass bottle barrel (for about fifteen minutes) because they don't fit well and you kind of have to hammer at them (literally. We have a mallet and a hammer in there specifically for this purpose) until the lid pops into place. 'Cept I'm a scrawny little weakling and couldn't seem to hammer it hard enough. Then I had to put the...lid-holder-on thing (I have no idea what you call it, but it goes around the top and holds the lid on) and then I had to get the barrel onto the dolly (or whatever it's called, with the place to hold heavy crap and the wheels...?) and get the grip down onto the ridge in the lid (for about fifteen minutes) and wheel that outside and get an empty barrel to bring back in, and then crush some more bottles...Siiiiigh...it was not a fun time in the life of Daralyn.

Also, all of that difficult work gave me a tummy ache, which is kind of messed up. I don't think I've ever gotten a tummy ache from doing too much work.

And there was a HUGE moth in the living room when I got home, and my cats were jumping all over the place trying to get it. Claudius finally succeeded, and was in the process of eating it (it was in his mouth!) but it managed to escape and it flew into the light fixture and committed suicide. Now it's still up there, casting a dark shadow into the room, but it'll be too hot if I try to get it out, so...it'll have to wait until tomorrow, when the light isn't on.

So, a couple of weeks ago this guy in my Communications class talked to me (I was drawing and he asked if I liked anime and we started talking about that), anyway, he ended up asking me on a date. I said maybe sometime (he, uh, is kind of ugly, but he's a real sweetheart. I'll decide once I know him better). Anyway, Friday in class he asked for my phone number, so I was like, okay, sure, whatever, and gave it to him. And he called me Saturday, but I wasn't home. I was hanging out with Manda in Augusta all day, and didn't get back till after midnight, which is way too late to call. So I tried to call him back this morning, but didn't get a hold of him. And he tried to call ME back in the evening, but I was at work. I tried to call him back when I got out, but once again, not there!

I'm thinking I should give this guy my E-mail.

At the same time, though, I feel like I'm encouraging him but I don't know if I want to be encouraging him, because I don't know what my feelings are. Right now, they're just "let's be friends and chat about anime and music and whatever else we have in common.

Also, these new socks my mom bought me make my shins itchy.

And OMG!!! I LOVE Brilliant Blue! It is, like, the cutest thing ever, and I REALLY want volume three, but I don't even know if it's out yet. Gasp gasp!! And I have original art that is SIGNED by Saemi Yorita, the mangaka of Brilliant Blue.

Okay, so yeah, this week sucks. So, it's raining and I had to walk home in the rain, and I have been working long hours, and I have to wake up early pretty much every morning (even Saturday!) and I lost my folder with all the pictures I've drawn in the last, like, three years, and I have a bunch of homework (which I admittedly skimped on a little)... But now my Poppa broke the DVD remote!

He's mad at Zachary for not going to bed on time last night, and then me and Zachary were watching something on StumbleUpon, and my Poppa didn't even bother asking us to turn our thing down or anything, he just cranks up the TV volume really loud so we can't hear our thing, so Zachary grabs the DVD remote and presses play to shut up the TV and, like, the moment Zachary presses my Poppa says he'll break the remote if Zachary does (too late at that point) so then my Poppa grabs the remote and throws it to the floor as hard as he can and breaks it and pieces go flying everywhere, and you can't do half the stuff you have to with a DVD without the remote, the DVD player doesn't have all the buttons. So, anyway, yeah. Not a good time. But...admittedly, it was just a little bit amusing.

And, OMG, my mom is gonna FLIP when she finds out.

EDIT: Also, Zachary is such a pansy. He's crying.

Online classes make me so angry. Anyway, I am having a very bad week, because I work a lot of long shifts and I had a lot of homework and I have to get up early a lot and it rained yesterday and was too winy today so my hair wouldn't stay out of my face and I lost my folder with ALL my pictures in it....okay, sorry, anger rant. Anyway, point is I am having a very bad week, so I decided that since my grade in that class right now is an 8.997 out of 9 I'm just gonna screw everything that has to be done this week, and if it makes my grade suddenly terrible I'll just pass it in late or something. I don't care enough. I am so infuriated.

Also, seriously, I hope I find my folder soon, because that is, like, three years worth of pictures, and like, I don't even know how many pages, probably at lest fifty, probably more. And even if I could remember every picture in that folder, I would never be able to draw them all. Some of them were pretty much an accident, and some took me HOURS, and there's no way I could ever, ever draw them again, and I seriously wanted to cry when I found out it was missing.
