Oh god, why?
I've been feeling kind of down lately. It might be the fact that I've worked about three weeks (eight to nine hour days in a dirty, hot greenhouse) without a day off and will likely have to work well over another week until I get one, but who knows? All that I know for sure is that it feels like the entire universe is conspiring against me in an effort to make me feel dull and inarticulate. Stupid, really. I feel like everyone thinks I'm an idiot and I'm not doing anything to discourage that line of thought. As a result I've been in kind of an EMO daze (and exhaustion inspired stupor) for the last couple of days. Stop picking on me, universe! I have enough issues as it is!
A persecution complex, I haz it.
I'm so tired after work that I can't even find the energy to play 'Super Smash Brothers Brawl' for very long, which is sad because I was really looking forward to it. I need to catch up on my reading, but my eyes start to close on their own accord whenever I try. I haven't been able to pick up my pull box in almost a month either, so it's probably bursting at the seams. I'm out of the loop, what's going on in my precious comics?! Damn you work, damn you!
One of the good things about dealing with service workers who barely speak any English is that you learn a little about your own communication skills. I learned that I talk too damn much.
Service worker: *Politely gestures to plot of plants in front of her, obviously wanting to know if she should start working on them*
Me: 'Yeah, you can take those, but make sure the trumpets are big enough. Oh, and the bottoms really need to be cleaned, see how dirty they are? You may want to start at the back, they're cleaner. Though some of those are a little short, make sure to put them to the side if they are (please), that will make it easier to navigate to the back to pick them up when we do eventually need them, which will probably be tomorrow morning'
Service worker: ...?
Me: '...Yeah, you can take those.'
Keep it simple, stupid.
On the other hand I've picked up...a pathetic amount of Spanish. Woe. I'm always afraid I'm making an ass out of myself whenever I try to speak Spanish, but at the same time it doesn't seem fair to expect them to understand everything I say without at least making an effort to pick up some of their language.
Everyone who cares on my friend's list has probably already seen them but LOOK , Watchmen movie pics! I have mixed feelings, but Rorschach looks cool and that's all that matters.
Though I miss Nite Owl's paunch.
Also, why aren't you people reading Reborn?
