this is a whiny post + bonus request
First I get woken up at SIX AM 'coz the idiot driver picking up my father to take him to the airport (I'd squee at him leaving for the week, but I'm in a bad mood) came early and HAD TO RING THE DOORBELL, WTF, DUDE, PEOPLE TRYING TO SLEEP. And then I figured it wasn't worth going back to sleep since I had work, so I got ready early. Just bummed around, wasted some time, wished I could go back to bed but valiantly resisted temptation and got my stuff ready before heading down to the bus stop and then into town.
WHERE I FOUND THE OFFICE CLOSED AND NOBODY AROUND. I texted one of the girls and- oh joy- found out that today was a day off and nobody bothered to let me know. Just. FFS, PEOPLE. I have a life (online life counts, right?) and it just makes me so shitty that I wasted time staying up and coming to work for no reason. I could've tried going back to sleep if I'd known I had the day off (it's grey and rainy outside, perfect for snoozing) or I could've lounged on the sofa and watched tv, but NO. UGH.
I know I should be finding the silver lining and being happy for a day off, but I'm just too irritated at the crappy start to this day to look at the positives. Work's already a huge waste of time (we do about an hour or so actual work and the rest of the day is just driving around randomly, taking long lunches and millions of smoke breaks) without me coming in to find out it's not on at all.
I don't want to go to work tomorrow now. Just. Screw you, CVA. UGH.
Also, while I was killing time this morning, I was on LJ so I've already seen all the new posts and now have nothing to do. Except whinge. Sorry, guys. But I need to vent. It's an added annoyance that I only get two hours of internet at home (the inhumanity! How'm I to cope with TWO HOURS ALONE?) and I wasted about an hour of that while waiting to go catch my bus when I could've seen the posts now that I'm at the library and internet's free and I have a whole day to spare. UGH.
EVERYTHING IS PISSING ME OFF RIGHT NOW. I KNOW I'M BEING A BRATTY WHINY CHILD BUT I CAN'T STOP BEING ANGRY AT THE WORLD.
Random, but I really want Morgause to come and hold me right now. :P Oh, see that, my fangirly side can't help but make me lighten up a bit.
ETA. And just when it looks like my mood's lifting, whaddya know, turns out my internet time's been cut short and my current d/l (Being Human) isn't going to be finished in time. WTF, WORLD. WHY ARE YOU PICKING ON ME.
JSYK. I do realize life could be a lot worse for me and I have things to be grateful for (NOT INCLUDING THE FACT THAT THIS KEYBOARD HAS SCREWED UP KEYS AND DOESN'T TYPE PROPERLY, so if you see typos, you know why) and I will acknowledge that, just...not right now. I'm feeling petty and immature. :P

Okay, you know how people have f-list cuts? This is not that. I've been thinking about how I need to do one because my f-list is huge and I don't even talk to half of the people on it, and sometimes I'll see posts and think about commenting, only we're practically strangers now and those people never reply anyway, but...every time I tell myself I'll do it, I'll chop people off and get it over and done with, it's like...
I CAN'T DO IIIIIT. I'M NOT STRONG ENOUGH, OMG, IT HURTS TOO MUCH. I mean, there's people I haven't spoken to in forever and we have nothing in common anymore BUT I STILL CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO DE-FRIEND.
So, I ask you to do it, if appropriate. If you feel like we have nothing to talk about these days, we're not in the same fandoms now and can't bond over anything else, and you're not interested in reconnecting, then de-friend me. No harm, no foul. Thank you for the good times and I wish you all the best and hey, maybe our paths will cross again the future. (Or not)
But...I imagine there's some of you who aren't interested in reading/commenting on my entries- certainly not the whiny ones, lol- and if you need a nudge, well, this is it. *sniffly farewell* I want to get to know the people on my f-list, I want to talk about things with you and update you on my life and learn about yours. Falling out of touch or being virtual strangers isn't fun. So...
LOOOOOL, JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT I COULDN'T GET ANY LAMER. Nostalgia, anyone? I used to love this show as a kid (pretty sure I shipped Captain Planet and Gaia, don't ask me how that'd work). This scathing critique of it is pretty funny, though, it's harsh but true. I mean, even as a kid, I thought Ma-Ti's power was useless. Heart? Give me a break!
And I never thought about it this way....
If you had Captain Planet's powers, which of these would you be more likely to use them for?
A. Capturing actual criminals; fighting for justice & freedom; saving innocent lives.
B. Shooting ice beams at the feet of guys who covered a group of puffins in a thick layer of petroleum; tying up loggers who failed to renew their logging permits with the Department of Environmental Conservation by flying around them really fast in a circle while holding a rope; swooping out of the sky to scold small children who casually litter in public parks.
If you picked A, you are probably a rational, caring, person who values human life. If you picked B, congratulations: You're as big of an asshole as Captain Planet.
Okay, it's missing the point of the show, which was to encourage kids to look after the environment and not trash it, but still, dude has a point. And that show leaves itself open to mockery, seriously.
That said? Me and a couple of the kids in my environmental program burst into a spontaneous rendition of the theme song the other day. 'Captain Planet, he's our hero, gonna take pollution down to zero...' (that's all I know) :P
PS. OHAI THAR. Here is an optional meme if you wanna fill out part or all of it out for me! Anything else about you that I should know? I'm all ears! There's stuff like people's jobs and pets and such that I don't know or have forgotten, but if you want to talk about it, I'm interested!
(I really need to make up my own meme someday, some random wacky questions instead of the same old, same old demographic type. Although, please, at least tell me your age, if it's not too intrusive? I've been freaked out lately to find out I'm associating with some younguns and I'm curious if there are any other unexpected teens on my flist. I need to know who to behave myself around. :P Lol!)
