The Dark Crystal
So I work at these evil corporate law offices in midtown and last night out of nowhere my boss comes running frantically around the office asking "has anyone seen the dark crystal!? has anyone seen the dark crystal!?". Of course, the first thing that comes to my mind is "Ooooh, so that's where this company's power comes from... the dark crystal." Because well, we have a crystal ball in the conference room right smack in the middle of this loooong ass table for meetings. I figure the crystal ball must be the light crystal. I know, I know. I'm warped. Apparently she was talking about an old Jim Henson film that was much darker and scarier than most of his old muppet productions.
So the vice president in our offices takes everyone out for drinks one friday night about a week before Christmas. She pays for open bar and whatnot and even offers to pay for each individual employee to get a taxi ride home. I just happened to miss this day at work as I was out celebrating the end of 3 semesters of Japanese with my classmates and whatnot. So, the VP pays for everyones drinks and I suppose everyone had a good time. The next day (saturday) over half of them were called and let go ... a week before christmas.
After months of being on my own with no mom around to feed me, and having terrible dieting habbits that have even gotten me sick as a result, I'm finally taking control of things. Life away from my creators is quite the bitch but I'm making some progress. Hopefully I'll have everything down to a science by this time next year. I need to buy a pot set so I can start cooking already. A big part of me wants to get cooking already but an even bigger part of me is afraid to spend more than 20 seconds in the kitchen (damn you roaches!!)
I'm growing my hair out so I can get a Faux Hawk.
I'm still on what feels like a very very long break from clubbing (almost 2 months). I seems like so much longer though. I miss it like a motherfucker. As a reward for my self discepline I have 2 massive parties waiting for me at the end of the month (VIP for both) and there's parties awaitin' all the way in March that I'm trying to get all access passes for. Can't wait :-).
I'm getting a car sometime this year, finally. I still need to find out what insurance rates are like up here. Damn expenses. If I do things right I'll be able to do some travelling this year. It's always annoyed me that I've grown up with tons of kids (blacks, whites, hispanics, everyone) who have travelled the world while I remain US bound. I've already started contacting travel agencies so hopefully I can go SOMEWHERE before the end of the year.
As is expected under the condition of being mortal, I've had to deal with lots of stress these days. But I am dealing and taking care of things to the best of my ability. Go me. :-|
