Give you twenty WHAT? Twenty dust bunnies off the floor? Twenty pickles? Twenty excuses for why I have twenty pickles readily available? TWENTY WHAT!?!?
I hope it's not money.
Cookies, dammit, COOKIES! stabs the surviving pineapple and storms out

And that's how my Friday ends.
Twenty dust bunnies off the floor?
Ah you call those things that…
We call 'em dust kitties (porcica)~
Totally unrelated and off-topic post, yay
Dust kitties sound cute. We just call them poodles.
The most terrible thing in the world.
(Skip to 4:42 and don't mind the unintelligible Finnish. You get the idea.)
So Finnish people aren't fond of it :P
So Finnish people aren't fond of it :P
It's an acquired taste for most people. Many Swedes aren't to fond of it either. But don't trust youtube on this. It's not that bad. >_> They just eat it in the wrong way. Like you usually fillet it and eat it with other things. (Although I like to eat the whole thing but I'm strange.)
Well-well, last night I saw my employee evaluation for the year (at the movies), and it was uniformly positive. My greatest strength is that I do work (regular and additional) without having to be directed by a supervisor or manager and my weakness is…."N/A". Sweet. Also, now I'm gonna be making $8.50 an hour, so there's a little raise right there.
And...
Today I mailed my income tax payment. But between that, money I need to give to my mother, haircut money, transportation.....I'm light on cash already....

You call them poodles? That's even cuter than dust kitties :o

Yeah, it drove right over there and off into the sunset with its villainous driver twiddling his pencil thin mustache and laughing maniacally. Hard to miss really. @Chrissie:

YOU DA BOMB GURL!?
Dang it, universe, why must you mess with me?
The next level chemistry class (I'm taking General Chemistry I right now) isn't going to be offered in the coming fall, but rather….this summer. Which involves taking the course practically the whole week in a condensed six-week class. It's not impossible to get done when I'm simultaneously working my two jobs, but I fear things might get overwhelming.
Plus I wouldn't get financial aid, so this would have to be a out-of-pocket expense. A hefty out-of-pocket expense. Incentive to make sure I ace the class, but….
...on the flip side, it's better I take it in the summer instead of...next spring. Not only would the information from the previous class be fresh in my head, I wouldn't have to set back my major progression a whole year.
either way, it's a tough choice.

Damn it, i wonder which one of my weekly villains was D:
Dammit! I want to talk to that boy and ask him to come here to Budapest to meet me and say sweet stuff like that and his provider throws him off the net. Don't do this to me.
edit: Especially after these last days events, I just want to move forward.
Well today's been unproductive….
First time in 6 months it's hit 60 degrees and I decided its warm enough to take the bus (instead of taxi) and walk that short distance to get groceries ...
I went out to the bus stop 3, THREE, times and waited and waited and waited and never saw the bus. Its was always at the bus stop at 35 min after the hour on the weekends. I went out 10 min early this last time (5:30 pm) and gave the last attempt of 25 minutes and still no bus.
I've given up on the bus and go inside and get online to check out the bus system's site to see if there was a problem.
..
...
....
.......
.........After 5 yrs of having same program for the weekends... At some point in the last month (when I didn't take the bus) it changed the freakin' weekend schedule! It now comes at 8 mins after the hour, 30 mins difference from before!
Its too late today as return bus would be after sunset, so I'll have to go tomarrow.... I've not seen the weather report but hoping it'll be as nice tomarrow.
Tonight... its pizza for dinner! .... It'll have to be, I've not nothing else except milk and ramen
alright, registered for that chemistry course. Again, it's a hefty financial hit, but doing it now is better than waiting a year. Thankfully….it seems the lab portion I need (i just went to the chemistry department to confirm) doesn't have to be taken at the same time as the lecture, and it's offered in the fall.
sigh Better focus on the now and make sure I ace my current courses, though.
spent the past few days in the ICU at the hospital just monitoring my grandma's condition after she went into cardiac arrest last week. Kind of losing track of the time but I think It's been 3 days now. The hours fly by now, but the day I flew in felt like an eternity just getting here but I'm glad I had carter there to chat with and keep my mind off things because I kept breaking down
things look better but we don't know her mental condition yet. Doc just took her off sedation so we're waiting for her to wake up. The icu is absolutely heartbreaking place though. I hate seeing old people suffering
Being a caretaker is extremely hard, taboo. Sorry to hear that you are going through this right now. I lost my grandmother last year. :(
I hope yours will make a swift recovery so you all don't have to spend any more time in the hospital than necessary. I know what you mean about the ICU being depressing.

I took an entire year's worth of Japanese in a 10-week summer course at one point. 3 hours a day, every day. It was surprisingly quite fun and a much more tightly-knit group than during the regular semester courses. But I didn't have to worry about going to work.

thanks Ben, I appreciate it <3
The whole family is here right now and there's a lot of love in the room, so that really helps

heh there's the problem right there.
But for the majority of this six-week course, most of my work will be concentrated on the weekend, with the actual course being two hours a weekday except Friday. And it's early in the morning, so at least the rest of the day(s) can be used for homework and studying.
I really feel a special something now when I talk to that boy I've been mentioning all over. We are planning what we'll do when he comes visit Budapest me Budapest I guess me~
Edit: Well, I went ahead and asked him if it was real and if he was feeling the same… he said yes. I can't stop smiling~
Hello to all!!
Today was my first day at my job, and I felt like a kid in a candy store. Yes, I didn´t do much, I just had to familiarize myself with the place and the people who work there. LOL, the library had to a repair specialist.
I also organized the books that were returned today, I did some translations for a group of students who visited the library, helped a girl who was studying about metaphors in french and I had to read a poem to a group of children from a local primary school who were visiting the library today (I was ashamed of my voice, I really don´t like talking in front of people). But everything was fine.
Busy day … I'm tired.
Can´t wait for tomorrow.
Still alive had to clean stuff on my computer these days.
Aww taboo, I wish u all the best and may she recover :)

I empathise so much taboo and I wish she does recover fully.
Not gonna say more to not bum you out but I lived through something almost identical with my late grandfather two and a half years ago so all the support I can offer is there, if you want.

1. April sucks, where is the spoiler thread, not funny, …. ok maybe a bit ^^
Getting worse by the day.

Ah, sorry to hear that. Care to elaborate, if you want that is.
it's been good day would be great if someone hadn't hid the manga section.
I just smoked weed with a virtual teenage version of Ellen Page. And people say dreams can't come true…
@Print:
Wasn't sure where to post this, given it's mostly just me being sentimental in an abstract way about time and memory, but:
! I'm taking part in a thing on Saturday and they're singing a song as part of it. I had a friend who sang a version of that a long time ago - once on bedroom recording equipment in 2003 and once more professionally in 2006 and the song was beautiful and made me cry a lot, and dream of better places but my friend grew up. She dropped out of uni, went to a different uni, fell in love with a guy from Florida, moved out there and last I heard she was a working mom now. She unfriended me everywhere after I made an ill-judged comment in 2010 (basically, trans women shouldn't weigh into cis women's reproductive issues without clearance first…) and she has dropped off the net since it seems. I'm guessing because now she has her life with her family in Florida and doesn't do the music thing anymore but her songs are still shared and used on YT videos and so forth. So for all my tears for young fantasies replaced by adult realities, this is a singer whose music was as fairylike as she was, and had a lifesize Gandalf cutout in her room...and now has consciously left all of that behind for her adult life.
! I had a song stuck in my head the other day and when I spoke to the guy who composed it in 2005, he felt apathetic towards it and his own dabble into music. He teaches English in Prague now and hasn't made any tunes in years.
! I don't think many of us mean to let Cair Paravel burn, but it just decays while we are too busy to attend to it, and soon enough it's ruins from another age. But perhaps that doesn't matter because we have found castles to replace it, if not ones anywhere near so fantastical. We don't necessarily sacrifice daydreams and wonder, we just recalibrate them to whatever we end up with, but there's still the sad truth that growing up means taking a multitude of exciting possibilities and turning them into a reality and a lot of never-weres. Perhaps that is why so many people stop living with their head in the clouds. It makes sense in a way - we need to live in the real world, and having outlandish naive notions may either hurt those around us or hurt ourselves. Even I with my poetry am not the girl who would stay up into the early hours in 2003 to write about love and magic and hope all based off one particularly pretty song she was listening to on repeat. Her ideas of romance got her burned, for one thing. She isn't me anymore.
! But still, I miss Cair Paravel.
I don't have much to add but I just wanted to say that I'm feeling this post and that you have a beautiful way with words…I hope we can keep a little bit of dreams alive. I'll try and I hope you can too! :)

This is horrible to hear… I'm hoping your grandmother will be fine when she wakes up. I had to spend a bit of my time in hospitals last year and it's gotten so far that I can't even stand the smell of any hospital anymore. I thing the waiting will be the worst but soon you will know for sure. And I hope the news will be good and she can get out as soon as possible (and will be in a stable mental condition).
Also try to take it easy on yourself no matter what. You did all you can do and by taking care of her you did a great thing...

I agree, there is something really depressing about seeing older people getting sicker and weaker :sad:I hope your grandma is going to be alright!
We have suuuch a big thread to talk about next One Piece chapter :ninja:
My day was spent into thinking about it.
I've been without Internet connection at home since Saturday, and still am… But it's not bad. The public library is a nice place to visit after school. I missed riding my bike down here anyway. :)
My day was fine. Wish I could have been here more, but April 1st fell on the worst day of the week for me this year. Little time between school and work. Oh well.
I can’t sleep today. :P
Best day of my life…Thanks AP forums. I was sad today, because a lot of bad things happened today (well, not in my job.)
I really like to RP, it was funny, I can wait for next year.
OT: Went to the hospital, so I could get some free medication to my sick mother and later, I bought a new sofa.
These random pages sure are mysterious
Random pages? I guess April 1 sure is mysterious :ninja:

No Maam being gone IS a joke, right? .....right? :(
On a different note, I'm very sorry to hear about your grandmother's condition Taboo. When one member of a close-knit family is going through something hard it affects everyone. I hope she recovers soon.
On a more positive note AAAAAAW Nolus~
I got a 106% on my art history test, which is the highest grade I have ever gotten in my life. I can't even ever remember getting a 100, let alone something higher. Especially since I missed a few dates and quoted Aqua Teen Hunger Force at some point instead of giving a real answer.
I've been wibbling and vibrating about this all morning and I feel like for the first time in my life I've figured out how to succeed in school and do well for myself and I might be okay. Keep in mind I got three Fs last semester for not attending the last two months of school. This semester I could feasibly get all As, let alone Bs and that's something I've never done before. Ever. Ever ever ever.
