All I Need (Desperately) is My Star to Come
People wouldn't guess it from meeting me. Hell, people who've known me for a while would probably call me a liar for saying it, but I enjoy plans. When this happens, this happens, then this, resulting in this. In a perfect world, I could make plans and they'd happen. Goodness knows I'd be one happy bastard for it. Unfortunately, my plans rarely, if ever, go according to plan. Even the ones that don't require any work. My greatest complaint is that I'm not working as often as I thought. I'm at, like, 3/4 full time, which, as my mother pointed out, better than nothing. Still, I feel I am allowed to express frustration over the $60 or so that I don't get every week. *sigh* Be grateful, I know. I guess I'll just crunch the numbers again and hope for the best.
My ear infection is (theoretically) clearing up. Today was possibly my most frustrating day of work, as my right ear was completely useless unless the ear piece of the phone was pressed against it. Relying on my left ear is a horrid feeling. Good news is I only got into one argument with a customer (He wasn't there and the woman behind him wasn't paying attention. After asking him what was his, he "answered" by not looking at me, mumbling, and moving things, causing them to scan again and make a bigger mess than necessary...stupid fucker. And THEN he looks at me like I haven't been working there for years!) I don't enjoy dealing with stupid people, much less ignorant people. And both are in spades here... But, I did manage to make it through the day. I think my left ear started functioning better or my right ear slightly fixed itself, since I actually managed to start hearing the radio in the store randomly.
Aside from work, there are only a handful of things occupying my time, the most pressing of which is Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete. I've been craving a chance to play this game for, like, 6 months. It has primarily 2-D graphics (sorry, Christine) and a few anime cut scenes, but the story is such a pleasant one that I can't get over it. In reality, the story line is pretty basic, so really, I haven't a clue why I love this game so much. But I do. So there. >.>
For whatever reason, I've also become increasingly infatuated with Chris Pine. Well, Chris Pine as James T. Kirk. So really it's more infatuated with Star Trek. Also, being a gay man and finding both Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto especially attractive, well...yeah...But! I found this fanfic (yes, that's how low I've stooped, lol) But, but, I found this fanfiction. And I'm actually very blown away. The author's writing style is surprisingly similar to what I would like my writing style to be.
Which brings me to my next point. Something about being home must just get the artistic juices going. Not only to I find myself itching to draw (Matt Darling STILL says I owe him a picture....-_-) But moreover, I've been itching to write. So far, I have about three short stories and one novel floating around in my head. I need to practice writing so I can work out at least the rough drafts...
All of this was pointless rambling. I meant to go to sleep, like, 3 hours ago, but I got caught up in things and haven't slept yet. I'm hoping to get started on my list of summer things to accomplish at some point. Maybe I'll start on my next day off...(....Wednesday? Yes. Because I work 6/2 Thursday x.x)
