Grover on Ecstasy
You're funny, you're loveable, you're entertaining,
you like to call yourself "Super Grover!"
You're obviously on ecstasy.
But that's why we love you.
Be careful, ok?

Ha ha! I love Grover!

"Far!"
Sweet cracker sandwiches! I hate Hotmail's website. It has become so bulky and tedious! It used to be that I didn't have to put up with it and used Outlook. I can now that I have my machine back and functioning properly. But at work I can't do that and be sure of security. Not that anyone here really look in my stuff. The ones who would couldn't and the ones who could wouldn't. If you know what I mean.
And this computer is slow and crashes!
I just tried some gum the lady before me left on the counter. No it wasn't used. CareFree Koolerz Watermelon. It's really good and actually tastes really watermelonish. Hey. She steals my sodas. I took her freakin' gum. Bleh. I am losing in this transaction and I am learning not to leave things here at work in spite of the sign in the fridge telling people not to take things they didn't pay for.
Things are pretty groovy. I don't generally get enough time to do much, but that's okay. I usually have three days off a week but I have been working 5 days on.
But I can't say I really work. *grin* Most of what I do is read, use the internet, and watch the occasional TV. Late-night/early-morning TV really sucks. And it repeats itself through the week. But I am learning about products that inflate or deflate various parts of my body.
In short this is the perfect job to have after being in the Army and working for Rick at HP/Securitas. In spite of the initial analysis of security work as low-stress and easy-going, Rick made things a lot harder than they should have been. I don't think I got that much stress pulling guard in Bosnia. I didn't get as much sleep, either, though.
I love the night shift. And it's been warmer than usual. And it's been raining. These are all things that make me happy. Now if I were in Georgia while raining at night in the Summer things would click right nicely.
A few friends, including billazilla, lachlan, and fencerlitdiva, live there. They all seem to want to move away and I want to move back. Tsk.
I ignore the source of what most people find annoying there: The People. As usual all it takes is a few to make it miserable for everyone else.
In Statesboro, for instance, the Old People hold the city in their wrinkly iron grasps. It's a college town but for some reason the students are generally harassed and annoyed to no end. It seems that everything is built fairly far from the school and that changes in the town that would be good for the University or that would make the younger people happy are nixed in some way. Somehow the fact that the school has given the place scads of money gets ignored.
I remember when MTV was taken off the air because the cable company received complaints about it. I think there was some local ordinance passed about certain things on television and was specifically aimed at MTV.
Though I can't imagine one would complain about it much nowadays, as MTV currently stinks like a cross between rotten and getting hit in the face by the Poopsmith's shovel.
I cannot even begin to tell of all the times I was questioned and harassed by the police simply for walking at night. Though I will admit that sometimes it was in the wee hours of the morning. Curfew didn't apply to me and my friends and the officers in question were no doubt familiar with us by then. They just wanted something to do. And I have such a sweet, innocent face!
Speaking of Georgia, a new friend of mine from Soperton tells me a story of a neighbor who accused her of casting a curse upon him with a stick she threw into his yard. Yep: She's a pagan. Ask elementalmuse about this kind of harassment. She gets these stupid leaflets on her car all the time.
I don't get where Certain People get the idea that harassment and hostility are effective ways to proselytize. "You're into that there Wicca, huh? Then you must worship Satan!"
Speaking of the God Squad, Mel Gibson has been really annoying of late. Apparently he's born again. His acting has suffered horribly and he is involved in this Passion of Christ nonsense. He played a part in a real Stinker called Signs. Advertised as a sci-fi thriller/horror it was nothing more than a Christian parable on faith. If I want to be preached at by christians I'll go to church, thanks. Come to my personal space preaching and one might get more than words back from me. One almost did when he spouted something resembling that bit about Satan above.
You really shouldn't insult someone's religion when you are built like a match-stick and the pagan is built like me and giving you the hairy eyeball. At least that guy looked nervous enough to have learned the error of his ways. One can hope.
Of course that's what Brother Jim was after. Remember Brother Jim? For those of you who don't he would make the college circuit preaching and getting into arguments hoping to get hit, at which point he would take the offender to court. What a groovy christian! The cream of the crop.
Ah well. Enough babbling from me. I will return to sitting around for a while.
