Like.... I Will Get Cold and Snow in Like 3 Weeks!!!!
I am a broken man. Seriously…. I just learned this. Apparently to understand my sexuality in terms that don’t acknowledge it’s brokenness and the reality of sin in the world as seen in being homosexual is like to do a disservice to myself. Go Lisa Cahill…. whom I love….. but frown upon for saying such.
But yeah… I really am broken. Last night I all failed at knifing and pulled a Dan! - sliced into my left index finger. Nothing too bad…. just a good deal of bleeding and now it hurts every time I hit things with my finger at the wrong angle. Also I had a temporary cap in my mouth… result of root canal and trying to put actual cap in but wisdom teeth interfering so all they could to was put a temp cap in until I got my wisdom teeth removed and when I went to insurance was all sorry you’ve reached your limit for dental work this year and I couldn’t afford to do more on my own. That was a great sentence there… anyway… that temp cap popped out last night…. real good news for me. All not goods. I all need to be fixed.
So yeah…. time for other events. First…. roommate update. Let me count all the ways in which I hate my housemate Adam. First…. like me and my actual roommate talked about it a few times in the last couple of days. We suddenly came to the realization that we both hated Adam. I think I was all nice to Adam and hung out with him a lot the first few weeks so Marc was afraid to say anything… but now it’s getting evident I’m not spending any time near Adam… so we all got to talk about it. It’s a fucking 3 on 1 conspiracy and my dear God…. it’s not against me. YAY ME! So yeah… Marc’s talked to Chris and apparently Chris hates Adam as much as we do. It’s getting all awkward and shitty… and there’s gonna be hell to pay eventually… so yeah… let’s go into where all of this hatred developed from.
First off….. every single weeknight from like 4 PM until 1 or 2 AM Adam sits in front of the tv watching it or playing PS3. That means no one else gets to use it ever. It sucks. Now…. I could just go in and be all… I want to watch shit… and he’ll let me… but then he just stays and is so fucking annoying that I don’t even want to watch because he’s there.
THE MAN HAS MADE ME NOT WANT TO WATCH HOCKEY!!!!!!
HOCKEY!
That is really all that needs to be said…. I never thought the day would come that company would be bad enough that I couldn’t be able to watch hockey…. but oh God it is.
So… what are the particulars asks generic audience I write to? Well… first he talks over everything. I mean… I’ll be watching shit and he will just talk over it and be so loud that I hear nothing. That annoys me so much.
Second…. he constantly recites lines from shows again and again. I feel like I’ve gotten a synopsis of every episode of South Park and Family Guy because he just repeats jokes and songs and everything from every episode.
Thirdly… He is so loud. He laughs and talks so fucking loud… the sheer volume makes me cringe.
Fourth…. he is always doing shit to get a reaction. I mean… he’ll be watching tv and we’ll all be in our own rooms and he’ll laugh so loud you can hear it throughout the house and through headphones. It’s like he wants everyone to hear him ad ask what’s so funny so he can talk about it… part of the theme so far of he never shuts up.
In terms of non-tv - behaviors that annoy - he follows you around everywhere. You’ll be walking around and he’ll just follow you. You’ll go into the bathroom and be taking a crap and he’ll just be talking to you outside the door….. seriously…. wtf?
Uhm….. he has to update you on every sports happening with his team ever. I mean… I walk home from class and get an update on every little thing the Lakers are doing or the Angels are doing or the Ducks are doing. Now… I wouldn’t object to this normally as I do that too. But he does it in such an annoying way… which is how he talks about sports in general which will be another subsection below…. but it’s always in terms of bragging about how great his team is and telling you how shitty your team is. It’s not so much a this is what’s going on in sports as my team is the best and you’re stupid for not liking them.
Oh God… total fucking slob. I mean… he leaves trash, empty pizza boxes, empty drink containers… everything all over the floor table, couch, everywhere. He cleans up nothing.
He uses my dishes without asking… which I’m okay with… but then he never washes them…. which makes me want to kill him. Just what the fuck…. if you use someone else’s shit how can you just leave it in the sink forever.
He does no dishes of his own. There are dishes that have been in that sink for two months now. I fucking refuse to do them. I did that the first month because I couldn’t stand it… I’ve all hardened my skin to the disgusting here.
Now to sports. Seriously…. his team is always the best and always the greatest. All the trash he talked to me about the Angels being the best team in baseball… and my Red Sox took them out. All I ever hear is how the Angels are still better and still a greater team and because they’ve won one world series they’re better than the Red Sox who have how many this decade? Then come the Ducks…. he doesn’t know hockey and has the nerve to tell me how great his Ducks are and how better they are than the Red Wings. Red Wings 4 Stanley Cups in the last 10 years… the Ducks… 1 Cup in their history… shut the fuck up.
Also… he just spouts statistics. My team has this winning percentage and this player has this batting average and this many homeruns and therefore my teams are better. Just stat after stat like that matters anywhere…. if sports were stats… no one would play games because everything would be decided.
Also…. everything always has to be an argument. He has that unbelievably annoying habit of arguing without listening to anyone else. He’s always so convinced that his idea is better so that he refuses to listen to what anyone else says and just continues to say the same tired crap and expect everyone to agree with him. Just makes talking to him so fucking irritating to the point I’m just trying to ignore him.
Even funnier…. my roommate Marc had two dreams last week where he was beating the shit out of Adam… it’s hysterical. Adam was laughing and Marc couldn’t get him to shut up so just kept hitting him and throwing him into walls. Amusing.
So yeah… that’s a pretty good tour of why all of us just don’t want to be around him. I mean….. it’s getting to like Eric level. Every time I see Adam planted in front of the TV… which is ever single fucking night except Friday night… the only night I’m allowed to watch for a bit guaranteed…… anyway I just see him and get all tense and want to fucking scream and run and hit things. I just can’t stand his presence.
So yeah… I’m looking next year at being a resident minister… it means paying for my housing and I get a room to myself….. I mean… fuck yes to all of it. A few extra responsibilities….. worth it for the lack ‘o stress.
Yeah… in other news of shit….. work last week. Crazy times. I’m slated to work 20 hours a week. My pay period is 2 weeks, so I’m supposed to work 40 hours in a pay period. The pay period that just passed in the last 2 weeks… yeah… worked 56.5. I missed 40 by just a bit. Fucking insane.
So Thursday and Friday were TAing day. Thursday I just proctored a quiz and felt bad for the kids who seemed totally lost and unprepared as well all of the quiz grades so far this year for her class (we grade them for her) have demonstrated they are. Mostly I think she’s nota great teacher and makes quizzes up that don’t necessarily reflect important things or things covered in class.
Then Friday I had 2 classes to show a video to…. neither class knew she was going to be gone. The first class was good… we watched the video… no problems. The video was corny as hell and had some pricelessly fail moments, but had good info on Paul. So get to the second class. I give my opening spiel…. at this point I’ve now seen the video so tell the kids that it’s not the greatest video and that it’s corny, but that it’s good information on Paul. Yeah….. 3 boys signed the attendance sheet and bolted. I was pissed. Another came up and asked if that meant they could all leave… I was all fuck no… I’ll send another sign in sheet towards the end of class. So yeah… I reported the shitheads who ditched out on me.
Fast forward to today… I get called into my supervisor’s office. So apparently the teacher of the class spoke to the kids that ditched and one of the kids told her that I said the video was boring so he thought he could leave. So she was mad at me for saying that. So Jen was just relaying it and saying I needed to go talk to the professor and that Jen wasn’t mad at me or doubting my abilities.
Inside… I was all WTF?! On many levels. But yeah…. The professor came to see me after that… yeah… totally not pissed at all. She was just curious what happened and I told her and she was just saying how her kids in these two classes suck and she knew they’d pull stuff like that. They’ve done it with her too, claiming she said things that she didn’t to try and get what the wanted. So yeah…. al was well and I wasn’t all garnering a reputation as a bad TA.
Ultimately it leads to me dislike of my boss. I mean she’s the sweetest person… but as a boss… there is so much going on there that drives me insane. I can’t fathom how she runs things… she gets all dramatic over nothing and it’s just getting annoying. Add to that that she saddles all of the work on two of us and lets everyone else coast….. just insane driving. Just keep concentrating on the positive…. I’m going to get beyond kick ass letters of recommendation….which is a good.
And related to this….. one of the GA’s basically does nothing but sleep and eat. She just eats meals every few hours and naps for like 1-3 hours during her shift. I mean… it is so fucking annoying. Both me and Richard walked in on her sleeping last night….. we were just beyond pissed. I mean… it just gets to a point where it’s too much. There is only so much both of us can take of having all of the work sent our way and watching our coworkers sleep.
So to dive off to other subjects. Uhm…. let’s see I got me birthday presents. Fuck yeah. So yeah…. my parents totally kicked ass. I mean… I gave them a list of video games that would be acceptable… just my list of games I want to pursue. I have it listed by name with all the important info, console, date, prices I’ve seen it for online. On it is PSX as a console… so it totally threw my mother. She called me the night after they’d gone shopping to complain for half an hour about how embarrassing it was with them looking for what PSX meant and that they’d been humiliated in like multiple stores and it was horrible and I should’ve told them what that meant. So I asked my Dad…. they’d asked at FYE the guy was clueless so they went to Gamestop and the person told them what it was and that those games wouldn’t be found in a common store. It’s all…… hi completely different stories.
But yeah…. however… once I got my presents….. my parents got me FFX, FFXII, and Dragon Quest VIII. All for ridiculously good prices…. better than I saw here in LA…. totally going to have to hit up the Cape Cod Gamestop and see what deals I can get there.
Also… that same day I went out with my roommie to various places… including the LA Westside DMV… yeah… we were the only white people within a 12 mile radius of the building…. fucking hysterical. But after that we hit up Gamestop….. he needed to buy a new PS3 controller and a game. (interjection… part of why he needed a new controller…. Adam has a tendency of tossing controllers around like they’re invulnerable and leaving them upside down on their buttons like a retard…. so he’s damaged two of them already).
So….. While Marc spent $100 on a game and a controller I got 4 games for $25. Fuck yeah good deals…. Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land, Drakengard, Dark Cloud, and Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus. Add to that Parts 3 and 4 of .hack// and then part 1 of .hack//GU and I have just tons of new video games to play…. it’s all a new feeling. Usually I’m playing the same ones over and over because I don’t have anything new…. now I’m all abound in new.
So to finish off on one final note of boy crazy…. because I can’t be complete without it. Uhm… I’m all so sad I’ve been missing Dancing with th Stars….. not because I care about the show... but because Cody Linley was on it.... made it to the final four…… and God is that boy just made of hotness and cuteness. Also… at the store I shop at… like every week there are boys outside of it…. boy scouts selling stuff, boys raising money for homeless….. thing after thing. I usually tend to ignore the cute boys…. my act of civil duty. So this past Saturday…..totally got reeled in by two sets of them. The first one was with a group doing a canned goods drive for homeless for the “winter” by which they mean the freezing 60o temperatures. But yeah….. he was all cute and socal surfer looking so I listened and bought to cans of stuff to donate. So on my way out… I got stopped by this other guy that wanted me to go over and sign a petition about some local politician and such…. but running the table were to boys…. maybe his sons…. both medium to long hair and blond….. I was all melty at them. So I went over and listened politely and then explained that I’m registered to vote in MA and WI, but not CA… so they let me go since I wasn’t registered here. But yeah… it was all my weekly fill of cute boys… which I have to get somewhere since I get none of it in my classes where the average age is like 35-40.
So yeah…. that is my life up to date. Also…. can someone explain to me how Thanksgiving is next week. I mean…… what the hell. It still feels like it’s the first month of the semester. Just…… MEIHFGHSJ! I mean… also… it was 92o this weekend…. how is Thanksgiving in a week. 92 degrees and Thanksgiving do not compute. No…. bad. Bad weather.
But yeah… I really am broken. Last night I all failed at knifing and pulled a Dan! - sliced into my left index finger. Nothing too bad…. just a good deal of bleeding and now it hurts every time I hit things with my finger at the wrong angle. Also I had a temporary cap in my mouth… result of root canal and trying to put actual cap in but wisdom teeth interfering so all they could to was put a temp cap in until I got my wisdom teeth removed and when I went to insurance was all sorry you’ve reached your limit for dental work this year and I couldn’t afford to do more on my own. That was a great sentence there… anyway… that temp cap popped out last night…. real good news for me. All not goods. I all need to be fixed.
