It's been one of "those" days.
Last night at work I had a migraine from hell, and I think I have an ear infection because there's a swollen bulb of pus in my ear canal that I can't reach to pop. Plus ow. Plus it hurts. Plus waaaahhh. I don't have money to do anything about this, but I'm going to try to go to the free clinic on Wednesday. As some of you know, they're held in the lobby of a church where most of the parishioners don't like me, and the staff can be kind of nasty and they like to beat people with bibles, so it's never a fun time for me there. I'm going to grit my teeth and try my hardest to get through it and get some meds for my migraine and my possible ear infection. I'll try to look as gay as possible the whole time. Don't worry. It's going to be even better, because I have to work Monday night, stay up all day Tuesday, work Tuesday night, and then stay up all day Wednesday because the free clinic is only open from 10 to 1, and you have to get there about 8 in order to see a doctor, so I have to go right there from work. I have to remember to bring my book "Thou Shalt not Love: What Evangelicals Really Say to Gays" which I read in the waiting room to help keep myself sane.
So all this is on my mind last night and I'm trying to keep my sirits up, and I took as much medicine as I could, which of course made me so nauseated I wanted to die, and I tried to keep food in my stomach on every break to keep myself from having an empty stomach churning with acid, and on one of my breaks, I'm holding one of those little single serving cups of applesauce, and I open it and just chug it because who needs a spoon, right? So one of the morning ladies goes "ew, you can use a spoon you know" and I tell her I don't need one, and she goes and gets one and holds it out to me and says "you remind me of my seven year old, just use a spoon, ok?" Now...who in hell sits at qoek and watches other people eat and critiques them? I wasn't dripping applesauce all over myself, and even if I was, it's my fucking business, and unless I'm dripping applesauce on HER it's not her fucking BUSINESS. GAH STUPID PEOPLE.
Then I went back out on the floor and I see this guy names Steve who pretty much annoyed the shit out of me all last year at DSAGA (campus GLBTACQHIJKLMNOP group on campus I help out and have friends in) and I sucked it up and tried to be nice and said "Hi Steve, Welcome back," and he turns to the girls with him and says "God I hate townies" and walks away. Ok, now I'm about ready to go after him with my box cutter, but I refrained.
This is just me venting because I'm allowed to do this because it's my journal and I let you vent in your journal, so there. But anyway, I'm trying to illustrate what a shitty day it's been. So I get home, and I find a free code from Amazon that lets me download 5 songs for free, so I pick my music and it's been making me happy all day, so I want to share it with you. Disclaimer: You might hate any and or all of this music. I love it. I make no promises, ok? But give it a download and a listen, and then delete it if you hate it, ok? After my shitty day, I needed these songs, so I thought maybe someone else could use them too.
Instructions: right click on the link, click "copy link location," then paste it into your taskbar and change the "hxxp" at the beginning of the link to "http." Yeah, I'm paranoid. I know. You love me anyway, right?
"God Help the Outcasts" by Bette Midler This is from Disney's "Hunchback of Notre Dame" soundtrack, and it's my favorite song from that movie. I love that movie (yeah, the book was better, this we all know) and I love this song. It's just as cool now as it was when I first heard it. I like Bette singing it more than I thought I would (I'm used to hearing choirs singing it).
"One Thing I Know" by Selah These are a "Christian" band, but this is a surprisingly un guilt-trippy song, and it has some awesome lyrics that still make me cry today, so I still love it even though a lot of "Christian" music makes me want to gak.
"You Belong with Me" by Taylor Swift I love Taylor Swift. This song is cute and catchy. Nuff said.
"Hands in the Air" by The Waiting I've loved this song for years. They're another "Christian" band, but these guys are more alternative and mouthy and "out there" than the last band, so their music might be more approachable. this song is a prayer, and I like the way they talk to God (not smarmy, more like, "Fuck, whatever, if you say so, I'll just do what you say because you're too big to ignore, blah blah blah" etc.) I like the attitude. I can relate.
"Use Somebody" by Kings of Leon I really like this song. I want to check out more from the band if this song is this good.
