It gets more snappy and cynical as you scroll down...
"I am experiencing over 800 different emotions!"
Blergh. I'm not in the best of moods and coming in to work having to speak to the old lady isn't helping matters. I'm in such a mood that I'm having the same song repeat over and over again on my MP3 player...and I'm not getting sick of it. Very strange.
Dad took Mom up to Seattle to see Aunt Marilyn who's been having treatments for cancer. I'm hoping that they'll be able to nail it enough so it won't spread anymore. It'll be good that Mom's up there this week to help her out and keep her company.
Went over to Cecily's apartment yesterday with my two younger bros. We ordered the "pizza dude" and watched Serenity on her shnazzy new television. 'Twas fun. I even got some more of my drawing done yesterday and it's coming along pretty nicely. I don't think I've done this much detail in pencil on this large of a scale before, but it's actually working which comforts me a little.
I need to buy more notebooks. I've had a couple ideas for stories the past day or so and I need to write them down because my brain isn't all that reliable when it comes to things I want to remember. Like right now, the red voice mail light on my phone is glowing and I can't do anything about it because I can't remember how to get into my voice mail, much less the password I used.
I got a text message yesterday from Terrence, whom I've been sucessfully ignoring for over a month. No, it's not like he's noticed or anything, it just makes me feel better. I was nice and dropped off his Christmas present at his house Christmas Eve despite my irritation with him. But "unbeknowenst" to me, he was out of town, as he stated in his text message. He also said that he had a little something for me. *snort* I'm feeling very cynical right now so my first thought upon this is "yeah freaking right!" he probably ran out and got me something when he realized I'd dropped off a present for him.
After I dropped off Terrence's present I went down to the mall (which wasn't that hard to get into surprisingly) to find Stephanie so I could give my present to her as well. She was there and we yakked for a while. She told me that she was in the process of dumping the current boy friend (*leaps for joy!*) but she's already found another guy. I can't remember what nationality she said he was but I simply felt like *facepalm*. I've known her for over 3 years and she's had this constant string of loser boy friends. Her first, whom she was married to for a spell, was the father of her son, and was, and remains to this day, a moron. This is why we're grateful she decided to divorce him and keep custody of her son. Sadly, though, Stephanie has been quite adamant about keeping a pattern in her boy friends, they're ignorant, sloppy, dead end job losers. I have no doubt in my mind that this new one is no different. *sigh* Becca and I talk to each other about what to do. It saddens me so much to see Stephanie crash and burn so many times like this. She's such a sweet spirit and bubbly personality but like most of us girls out there, has a low opinion of herself.
My heart just sank when she told me about this other guy. I tried to smile and be happy for her but it crushed me to think that she has to have a boy friend every day of her adult life. Becca's going to *headdesk* when she finds out, if she hasn't already found out that is.
Since I've been reading Pride & Prejudice, I've been relating everything to it and I find that this is a little how Elizabeth felt when Charlotte told her she would be marrying Mr. Collins. But in this case, Mr. Collins would be a couple steps up from these guys.
It makes me feel better off, being single and simply pining for a Mr. Darcy or whomever to cross my path and that, in itself, isn't a good thing.
It seems my MP3 player got sick of repeating that same song and it actually switched songs on me and started repeating another one. O_o
