Post how your day was… (NEW)

Nami

Haha, but you're a sweet Idiot, Insi

So… My dad visited today. It was awesome and all but...
Some things are bugging me now.
He used my browser to search in his bank account for an adress. I didn't want to watch 'cause it's kind of private so I hid my face behind his back. But he said "You can watch", so I did. I only saw it for like one second but... It seems he has more debts than I thought he would have. He is in big Minus. And when I say big I mean HUGE. It's in the thousands.

And still he never says no to me. When I look at him with my puppy eyes he will buy me whatever I want. He's rarely using the "I have no money" excuse. Damn, that makes me feel so guilty.
But that's not all.

Last year we were on winter vacation (first time ever) and I learned how to snowboard. Since then I said I want a snowboard for christmas and we both agreed that we would go there for vacation this year again.
I don't have the snowboard yet because I still need to choose one. But honestly. I don't feel like searching for one when I know he actually has no money for it. I.. just don't want it anymore.
Same goes for the vacation. I mean I really waited desperatly for this winter to go on winter vacation and snowboard, but now... I cannot ask him to go on vacation. And I think the reason he did not mention it once the last couple of weeks was because he realised we can't go and he just not has the heart to tell me that.

Because of that I payed the lunch today to soothe the guilt I feel. Is not helping.

And that still is not all. I owe him around 700€. Because of my movement I made these debts.

So, yeah. No Snowboard, no winter vacation and I will try to get the debts lower. Last time I paid him something was november....

And this is STILL not all... I got a mail from my supplier of electric and gas energy. Annual account.
I spend too much gas the last months and I don't have the summer months yet to compensate it out. So I owe them now 400€ and they raised my monthly bill from 100 to 150€.

Awesome. I have no clue how I should pay the 400€. I mean I knew I'd had to pay back something, but 400??? Damn.
I hope the jobcenter can help me out on this. Or else I have to starve the next month.

So yeah, even so I'm really happy I was able to see my dad, I'm kind of depressed now about the financial thing and to not get a snowboard and the vacation. Because it was really something I was looking forward to...

Till now 2011 hasn't really gone good for me.

Sucks, Nami.

And I miss the general discussion thread as well.

MDL

i'm sorry to hear that Nami =[

i hope that your year will improve, and hopefully you can get those debts decreased.

Zoro's F-150

Well, it's Zelda's 25th birthday.

Today couldn't get any better.

Insider2000

Sorry, Nami. That severely sucks.

BestBuy and MvC3 rant:

! The afternoon, my Philosophy class cancelled on me, so I decided to spend the rest of my afternoon at the mall! I'd get a bagel, do some Stat homework, browse some stores, and play at the arcade. Did most of that, but the arcade is generally an issue for me. 90% of their machines have broken buttons, and those that don't have broken buttons are games I'm bad at. Also, I can't seem to win at Marvel vs Capcom 2 anymore.
! Well, I generally don't have class from 1:45 to 6:30 (which today, I didn't have class from 12:15 to 6:30 X_X). So by the time I walked the entire mall, it was about 3:00.
! So there was one thing left I could do. VISIT BESTBUY!
! In case you didn't know this, BestBuy spent the last two weeks promising that they would have Marvel vs Capcom 3 playable on one of their kiosks for all to play. In case you didn't know this either, my local BestBuy is a lying sack of queef. BUT NOT TODAY! I stepped in. I searched long and hard, and there….I found the kiosk to Marvel vs Capcom 3.....
! >! 1. It only had one controller. Because, you know, fighting games are so much more fun to play alone. :getlost:
2. It was placed, SERIOUSLY, two feet away from the Kinnect kiosk. For those who don't know what the means, I had seriously had people asking me to move so that they could play Kinnect, and they would stand about 6 inches away from the TV screen used for MvC3. I HAD TO PLAY THE GAME AT A DIAGONAL ANGLE!
! Fine, whatever. So, I play ALONE with my usual team: Dormammu, Trish, and Phoenix. Arcade mode is a breeze, and then I decide to play again with X-23, Chris, and Morrigan.
! Now before I say this next part, take note that my ethnic heritage is Cuban.
! Suddenly, all of fucking Cuba comes running into BestBuy to play Kinnect. And by 'All of Cuba', I mean twelve Spanish speaking kids who are fighting over who stands in front of the Kinnect, and five thirty something year old men who push the kids aside to show them how the Kinnect works, which make the kids angry because they know how the Kinnect works. In other words, I now am standing in a crowd of screaming banshees who won't shut the fuck up while I play MvC3. Add to this a fifty year old man who has no idea where he has, but has complete determination of figuring it out by STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE KINNECT AND BLOCKING THE REST OF THE KIDS WHO WERE ALREADY PUSHING AND SHOVING!
! [hide][/hide]
! FINE! Whatever! I play diagonally like I was a few minutes ago. However, one of the grown men of the group keep thinking, "OH! The Kinnect isn't reading me! Let me put my back against this TV screen that no one is using!" Said 'TV screen that no one is using' is of course, the screen playing my game.
! This of course leads me to getting slaughtered by the final boss, pissing me off beyond all belief, and making me pause the game and march out of BestBuy with endless rage.
! SERIOUSLY BESTBUY!?! YOU SET UP A FIGHTING GAME INCHES AWAY FROM A KINNECT KIOSK! ARE YOU TRYING TO PISS ME OFF ON PURPOSE!?!
! Later on, I came back to play one more round of the game, and won again with my Dormammu team. I had a few BestBuy employees watch me, namely some fat white guy who would stare at my game with unlimited disdain (what the fuck…), a few young guys who watched my game for a split second with joy, and some fat black guy who'd just pass me by and give me a nod like, "You know what's good". I eventually gave the game to a customer who was watching me for a short time.
! sigh
! Thankfully, it was about 5:00 by the time I left.

@Nami: Aw man x__x
Good luck with the jobcenter!

MONDAY is a douche, and so are the people who place exams on MONDAY.

But MONDAY more than anything else.

Today I had some tea,

with biscuits and marmalade.

I've had a pleasant day.

That sucks, Nami. But I think it may be a good time to reorganize your life and find a direction.
Well, recently I think about nothing but Ashina, Ashina and Ashina. Even when masturbating. Perhaps I am in love with her.

Nami

@THE:

uhm. I have a direction.

I just forced myself awake from a nightmare. It was about love and Zombies. Yay, Zombies.

MDL

i dreamt that i was a pokemon trainer.
cue crushing disappointment when i woke up.

Sakonosolo

Zombies need love too I suppose.

"necrophilia is wrong"

I just learned that I can´t go to college until August, I will lose all my friends.

I really do not know what to do with this free time.
Maybe an English course, or get a job.

MDL

woo-hoo!
so fucking happy right now.

i just got a phone call and i'm pretty much guaranteed that warehouse job.

Nami

Nice MDL It's really good to hear you get that job!

I finally send some applications away today. Let's see if I have some luck.

Insider2000

Drove to my computer science center parking lot. I drove past a black kid dressed in a large chicken suit, riding a large motorcycle with a large flag attached to it….who was being pulled over by the cops.

What the fuck, Tuesday? What the fuck?

Sonic Youth

Today I had to make all the sorting of the the orders that have been made during the autumn for the clothing company I work for, it took all day and it was really boring, but it had to be done…

Right now I'm writing on my exam paper for a graphic design course I'm currently taking... I need a certain book for it to be able to answer the questions... But I'm too cheap to buy it. Internet, give me the answers!!!

Insider2000

Sitting in the student union working on a computer programming project. Decided to sit in the piano room.

Guy gets on the piano and plays "Megaman 2 Wily Stage 1".

Again Tuesday. What the fuck? Awesome, but what the fuck!?!

Why you…!
That song has been stalking me all day long (I am utterly certain that my car has a mind of his own - or at least the radio). And now this!

Sakonosolo

So, I was about to leave for school this morning (this was about 7AM) only to find that not only was my windshield covered in ice, both doors were frozen shut. The driver side door was a lost cause and I finally managed to get the passenger one open. So I climbed through the passenger side door and threw myself up against the driver side door a few times before it finally opened. Then I had to scrape the ice off :getlost: . I'm getting sick of all this cold and snow and ice.

Nami

It really starts to annoy me. Today I was asked for my ID Card when I buyed my tobacco. THE THIRD TIME THIS MONTH!
And my Dad asked me yesterday TWICE if I got smaller >____________>

Why can't I look at least like 20? Q__Q WHY, WHYYYYY? :cwy:

MDL

@Nami:

Nice MDL It's really good to hear you get that job!

Thanks, that means a lot to me

I finally send some applications away today. Let's see if I have some luck.

good luck with those

OT: today i went into town to get a new webcam, but when i got back home i found out that it wasn't compatible with windows 7 :getlost:

i also went into tesco, and in the process i printed off the rough estimate of my BMI and weight.
[hide]
Height = 6ft 4in
Weight = 19st 12lb
Fat Index = 38.7%

according to the sheet, i SHOULD be 13st 8lb at most, so i'm at least 6st overweight!

i'd exercise more, but i struggle to find the motivation to go to the gym.
i'd be much more motivated if i had a personal trainer or partner to go with.
it gets crushingly boring when i'm exercising alone and it drives me crazy.

I started coughing quite a bit a few days ago. I did nothing and it got worse now.

I started coughing quite a bit a few days ago. I did nothing and it got worse now.

I've been having that shit for 3 weeks now. However, it's starting to get better which was the only good aspect of this dull and annoying day. It was just sleeping, eating, going to school, studying and more sleeping. I'm afraid it's gonna be this way all week.

The weekend is gonna be great though.

Roz

I broke another tooth.

I'm always breakin' teeth.

And what do you learn out of this, my son? Always do something IMMEDIATLEY!
Don't wait for wonders, they most likely won't happen >_>

dresses as a nurse
gives you hot milk with honey
DRINK!
puts a scarf around your neck
Don't you dare take that off!

And get well soon.

C_uggs

Someone talked about nurses?

Well, I won a flag of the U.R.S.S. today, made entirely of wool by a girl in my college, (but this is not love, I think).

Unfortunately I can no longer go to college (I'll miss my friends). It will be six full months of inactivity for me… ¬¬

I have to do something with my life.

Crossword

I had two tests today. One Biology, the other World History. Biology was a little difficult, since the diagrams on the test were a good deal more complicated than the ones we studied from. History was easy though. I can answer questions about heliocentrism and the Age of Exploration in my sleep by this point.

I woke up in the middle of the night to my sister screaming cockroach or something. I was too lazy to open my eyes or to care, but she switched on the light and banged very noisily around the room for at least fifteen minutes. I think she moved furniture or something, and went around the house demanding bug spray. Blegh. Don't see how she's not ten times scarier than a cockroach.

Also, I wanted Milo but we didn't have any in the fridge so I ate the remaining nata de coco instead. Kind of regret it now; that was a tad bit too sweet/syrupy.

Mr M

man , school keeps me busy so much , everyday atleast one big test , and i also have to read a book of 300 pages before next wednesday

atleast my homesituation is better again

Silent K

Really tired today.
I just talked to my mentor at school and she thought I should consider switching to an English major at the translation department at school next year.
It came as a surprise for me, as I didn't know the department had an English translator course.

I'm off today.

Going to go play Final Fantasy 13 until I pass out.

Sonic Youth

I've tried to write my home exam all day long without getting much work done (I blame lack of school books with answers in them) but, I made this funny troll-face.

Problem, Arlong Park?

I'm happy! My two CDs arrived from Finland. I ordered them at the week-end. That was fast.

Today I wasted my time,
and in the evening I went to Brussels to see a Kurosawa movie (Dreams). It was lovely.
By day there was snow and in the evening there was rain.

Kitsune Inferno

Rushing rushing rushing! I'm so close to being done with this application process. Just a little more and I'll be squared away. >_>

Today I've been scribbling around every now and then using my "new" tablet. I think I'm finally getting a feeling for it
At least I'm able to draw something now_._ First time I tried I was totally disoriented and utterly confused. Even attempting to make a slightly curved line ended in zigzag chaos.

Femme

Work today was average. Ran helter skelter to catch the bus to get home and it took off as soon as I got there -_- not feeling too well right now, bit of a fever. I think it's the beginning of a flu or something ugh.

Too lazy to find something new to watch so i'm gonna rewatch Hunter x Hunter from the beginning.

Today, my group met our tutor to be debriefed on a presentation we did a week or so ago. It went quite well for me - he basically said that I'm a good presenter and that there's nothing for him to help me with, lol. (I was in a good mood during the presentation, which helped.) But that's just on presentation skills, not the content so… -shrug-

Then I had a meeting with that same group to discuss a project, which involves designing a toy that facilitates social/cognitive/physical development. One member was kinda... odd. Slightly patronising at times, and some of his ideas honestly seemed a little silly, like having a block with an attached motion sensor that would cause it to move away from the infant whenever the latter reached for it. He's nice enough though, and I hope I wasn't too pushy but eventually we all got on the same page and settled on a pretty decent idea.

And now I gotta go back to studying. Midterms... Blegh.

EDIT:

And my water heater is broken. Hello, freezing cold showers that I so hate.

Nami

o_o…

I just got a call. I have an interview tomorrow. That was.. rather fast.
It's as "Production helper", sorting and packing sweets o_o
The payment is ok and it's shift operation, 40h a week.

It's not like I really want that job but I don't have much choice, tho.
And it's only till september so I have to get myself together and just fuckin do it.

THE SEA

I was having a fever and got better after like 5 hours.
My coughing also decreased.
All I do was lying for a bit and recover by myself.
Like every times before.
That said, I need to sleep more.
Ashina…

Today in my class of Library Science. We discuss if the I-Pad (or the Internet) could put an end to physical books, and, in English class, we had to find the subject and predicate in random texts.

on Friday, I will participate of a ritual of witchcraft with some friends of mine.
(but I don´t believe in magic,or any of that stuff).

Insider2000

I've volunteered to tutor for my Joy and Beauty of Computing class. If I keep a steady grade and tutor for the rest of the semester, I'm exempt from the final exam.

Maybe I'll participate in the carnival(samba) in the block of my neighborhood.

Good luck with your interview. =]

i'm currently doing 40h too as a "cleaning operative" up on the mezzanine floor of a warehouse, 2pm-10pm on weekdays.
my feet are killing me but i really want the money so that me and a friend can try living in our own place lol.
he said "you can't come unless you have a job, we both need to contribute to the bills" XD

Nice relaxing day I think my sickness went away overnight, I felt my fever break soon after I woke up.

In other news, I just sang a soulful ballad about not having enough room in the bucket to hand wash my dress pants. That transitioned into the intro to "Oreos" which describes the joy of adding oreo pieces to my ice cream. They will top the charts.
