Really, why won't LJ let you just... buy more icon space? Without having a full paid account? Unless, of course, you can do that, and I'm just fucking retarded.
Meh. Anyway, today's been kind of... meh. Yeah, that's the only real word for it. I got woken up early by Tara calling -- why the fuck did I want a phone in my room, again? -- to tell me that, surprise surprise, everything's 'okay,' and she and Jason aren't breaking up like they should be.
subtle_subtext: Miranda is my niece.
subtle_subtext: Her mother is my older sister.
uozlulu: ah i thought she was like your sister's friend
subtle_subtext: No.
subtle_subtext: Miranda lives with us; her mother doesn't.
uozlulu: ah
subtle_subtext: And her mother, Tara, has -- had? -- a boyfriend.
subtle_subtext: Who is apparently doing speed.
subtle_subtext: He was up five days straight, and I guess he got violent with her.
uozlulu: ah
yousogaisaki: Shitty.
yousogaisaki: This guy seemed to have been working out too.
subtle_subtext: My mother, the bitch, had a whole conversation about it with Miranda -- who's eight -- in the room.
subtle_subtext: It upset her, understandably.
uozlulu: o_o
uozlulu: your mother...i'm surprised she's allowed to have custody of you guys
subtle_subtext: She wouldn't be, if the state knew half of what went on here.
subtle_subtext: But it's not all that bad.
subtle_subtext: I take care of the kids, mostly.
uozlulu: yeah i've seen worse
yousogaisaki: <3<3<3
subtle_subtext: And my parents take enough care of us that it doesn't really matter. Besides, they mean well.
subtle_subtext: <3.
uozlulu: <3
Anyway, I'm mostly irritated that Tara and Jason are apparently still together. Whatever.
Once Tara woke me up -- it was like... what, ten o'clock? I don't know. But I ended up getting up and getting in the shower, after a little while of trying in vain to sleep on the couch. Ever since, I've been dicking around and talking to fukubuchou (and buchou, since she came in), and really getting nothing done one way or the other.
→ Threaten the children until they clean this fucking house because oh my God it looks like someone ransacked it how did they do that in the forty-five minutes before school?
→ Get started sorting through all the bullshit on the harddrive. Delete shit.
→ Work on icon-drabble meme.
→ Obtain Amai Tameiki... (甘い溜め息・・・) and Switch it Off (Komeya/Yonezoh) at any cost. Preferrably free-ninety-nine.
→ Investigate paid account possibilities.
→ Get a new moodtheme. Yeah.
I need to put clothes on.
[edit] Normally, I wouldn't post quiz results when I take them for characters, but...
You are The Emperor
Stability, power, protection, realization; a great person.
The Emperor is the great authority figure of the Tarot, so it represents
fathers, father-figures and employers. There is a lot of aggression and violence
too.
The Emperor naturally follows the Empress. Like an infant, he is filled with enthuiasm, energy, aggression. He is direct, guileless and all too often irresistible. Unfortunately, like a baby he can also be a tyrant. Impatient, demanding, controlling. In the best of circumstances, he signifies the leader that everyone wants to follow, sitting on a throne that indicates the solid foundation of an Empire he created, loves and rules with intelligence and enthusiasm. But that throne can also be a trap, a responsibility that has the Emperor feeling restless, bored and discontent.
