[update] dear city, behave;
You know that McDonald's commercial where two girls spend their late-night gimmick in the parking lot of the local McD's eating ice cream sundaes worth 25php a pop instead of dancing the night away at a club and downing shots?
LIES. =\
Other than the fact that I have yet to encounter a cute guy manning the drive-thru but that's NOT IMPORTANT Apparently, scoring a hot fudge sundae is fairly impossible after midnight. I can say this with some semblance of surety because I have tried ordering delivery at said time, and when I did a walk-in right after my shift just tonight, their machines were down.
So. Nope. No hot fudge sundae for Noey to go with her McNuggets. Golden Arches, shame on you for false advertising. And thank goodness for 7-11 and their dependable stock of Chuckie tetrapacks (it's a chocolate milk drink, not a psychotic, mass-murdering doll for those of you who don't know the AWESOMENESS of Nestle's foremost lure for all children over the age of two).
As always, I am, once again, the only one wide awake at this hour in this house. In about an hour the boys are due to wake up, and I will quite possibly be dead asleep because I will need to be functional and awake later tonight (when I say 'night', I mean 'in a couple of hours') when I report back into the training room.
...*sighs* Have I mentioned that this shift is seriously starting to suck? Not seeing the boys is something I've had enough time to get used to, but now the most time I've gotten with Mom in the last two days is when she kissed my forehead this morning and told me (I was still mostly-asleep, mind you) that she would be taking Punch with her.
She texted me that same message from the car, I think. I probably still looked comatose when she left. :<
There are some people out there (I've actually received an anon comment disparaging the fact that at my age I am still living with my parents) who might wonder at this, but I need my daily fix of family or I will quite possibly want to claw at the walls. Weekends are not enough because my traitorous body brooks no argument about catching up on the proper sleep it has been deprived of, which usually means I wake up in the late afternoon. :( As much as I know it is either succumb to sleep or be a grouch, sleep is better than being less-than-appealing company to the babiest brother and mom.
Can I just get my *proper* sleeping hours back? Do I seriously need to go through this for one more month???
._. The answer, Noey, is yes, and you will do it because this is your job, they give you a nice, fat paycheck every month and you love your team. /BREATHES
As soon as VL's are given the go-signal again, I am going to block off my birthday in April gdit.
This is mostly rambling. I know I have a meme to see to no, Kang jpop_princess, mother has not forgotten and I've been slacking on the 30 Days thing I'd hoped to start, but dammit, I never seem to have enough TIME to get on LJ anymore. :< The iTouch app doesn't count because lemme tell you, typing on a touchscreen is murder, especially if you're like me who enjoys long and rambly posts with lots of coding because I am like that.
Hell, I don't even enjoy Plurk that much on AMP because franky, it is difficult. Don't ask me why Twitter seems like a breeze. Maybe it's the content I choose to put up here and not there, but whatever the case is, Twitter is easy because it is pretty much just me reacting to people and these threads are mostly brief, or random reactions that I don't really need people to comment on. Whereas Plurk... Plurk is like a mini-LJ mixed in with 24-hour chat. I interact there. A whole great deal. Hell, I miss getting the anti-spam notifs =\ So. Yes. Anyway.
I am currently on the third section of Robin McKinley's Sunshine.
It is a vampire novel whose cover is a REFRESHING deviation from the black/red/white/grey/purple scheme that has been set by the abominable Twilight. Get this, the cover is GOLD. Shiny. With curliecues and a sketch of an eye.
Also, have I mentioned that Neil Gaiman has dubbed it "Pretty much perfect", and that it won the Mythopoeic Award?
Yes. This is me crying out READ IT. It is fun and intelligent. And one of the characters quotes SHERLOCK HOLMES.
...Okay, Noey. Wrap up. Time to wind down those nuggets and let the sugar high seep away.
Night bbs. Hope you miss me as I have missed all of you.
