Nothing To See Here; Move Along
Good things:
+ I have new earrings. The 'Mart clearanced a whole bunch of them. I don't get a discount on anything that's been clearanced, but they're cheap enough that it doesn't matter.
+ Lol-Mart only wasted 4½ hours of my time tonight, and I have short shifts until my next day off.
+ I started to get back on the wagon with eating properly.
+ The Shell station is hiring; it's nothing fancy or anything I really want, but it would be full-time, which I need, and it would be overnights, which I can deal with.
+ I have batteries for my CD player.
+ I find it really entertaining that, because I have Latin (the language) listed as an interest on my profile, the ads are all like, "MEET LATIN BEAUTIES FIND THE LATIN WOMAN OF YOUR DREAMS!!!!." Lololol.
+ Hey, jurhael, I don't know if you remember this Sue-we stumbled upon her a few years back during your HoND period-but she finally got sporked, if you haven't seen it yet.

Have you ever lied to a teacher/boss to get out of a deadline?
No. In the workplace, I've said, "I can't do this right now AND THIS IS WHY," but I've never flat-out lied.
What kind of magazines do you read?
Mostly cooking magazines (Cooking Light and Vegetarian Times), but I read Victoria and Allure religiously as well. Yeah, I know. I am just that secure in my masculinity. :D
(There are other magazines that I read but not on a regular basis--usually news and politics magazines and literary fagrags. I'll spare you a complete listing. Only then can you be happy. :D)
What's your current favorite song?
My perpetual favorite song is "Janie Jones" by the Clash. I occasionally get hankerings for a particular song from time to time; most recently, it was "Shambala" by Three Dog Night.
What's really creepy?
Clowns. Spiders. Spider clowns.
What are you currently reading?
I have several books going at once, so: Jerusalem (Cecelia Holland). The Stone Boy and Other Stories (Thich Nhat Hanh). The Religious Case Against Belief (James P. Carse). Human Behavior: An Inventory of Scientific Findings (Bernard Berelson and Gary A. Steiner). Aliens: 3 Novellas (ed. Ben Bova).
What's your current fandom/obsession/addiction?
Rurouni Kenshin and Russian history. Bizarre combination, but I woke up two days in a row craving both like mad, so there 'tis.
What are you listening to right now?
The chirping of crickets--literally. You can't have summer in Indiana without it.
What are you most excited for?
Short-term? My next day off, and/or the next missive from H.
What websites do you always visit when you go online?
Wikipedia (I am such a wikifag it isn't funny). LiveJournal. Gmail. Anything else depends on what I'm feeling like.
What was the last thing you bought?
Raspberries for the salad I'm making tomorrow. Also, batteries.
What was the cutest thing you've seen today?
My cat, waiting outside my bedroom door for me to get up and start moving around. Callice is way happier to see me than anyone should be.
Does the weather affect your mood?
It can, but doesn't always. I don't have SAD or anything that I know of.
What is your zodiac sign?
Cancer according to Western astrology; Monkey according to Chinese. The Chinese assessment of my character is more accurate, but that still doesn't change the fact that astrology is total bunk.
Do you want to learn another language?
Yes! I know a few words in Cantonese at the moment and remember parts of my scattered college Russian and Greek. I am a much better Latinist now that duokinneas wants things translated than I was at university, though.
5 things you can't live without:
1.) Books.
2.) Coffee.
3.) Pens and paper. (One is more or less useless without the other.)
4.) The people I love.
5.) Fish.
What's the meaning of life?
Hell, I don't know. It's different for everyone.
What's something you'd like to say to someone right now?
I'd like to forgive you, but I can't.
If you weren't doing this meme, what would you be doing instead?
Something productive, probably. :D
