I can't believe I'm actually using this thing as a real journal, lol.  I never set out to do that; I mostly made this account to post fics and what not.

But anyhow.  Journals are always so self-involved, I guess.  I hate being selfish if I can help it, but that's what journals are for, ne?

So.  New stuff.  I got new strings for my electric (which I pwned from sis while in FL...it was missing the B string, guh!) but I changed 'em in today...guh, I'm a'FLUFF with happies right now!  I forgot how much BETTER I sound on the electric than the acoustic XD  Nothing will ever replace my good old acoustic for travel or convenience, but still....ACKERS!

I've been playing new tunes, old tunes, tunes I didn't know that well, tunes I've known forever...jeez, I think I forgot just how much I lurve music XD  But I'll probably be making a vid and posting it on youtube or myspace.  Be forewarned; I'm a completely mediocre guitar player/singer XD  I do it for fun and as a hobby, which means I don't have to give a rat's poop-chute about how I sound :D

In other related music-news, I managed to snag the piano/vocal songbook for WICKED!  OMGZ...I know, I'm SO out of date when it comes to music and stuff...but it's new stuff to me :D  I just got the musical on CD this past April (courtesy of the mommy, of course) and while the music is...different, it's very remiscent of Jekyll and Hyde or even Les Miserables.  Very creative rhyming, very creative lyrics.  I wish it'd had a tad more Elphaba though :D (Halloween this year...I'm totally scoring a frumpy black dress and TONS of green make-up...I think I'm in love).

Anyhow, got the songbook for Wicked.  Been having LOADS of fun with that.  Guh, "No Good Deed" has like...5 flats.  "One Short Day" has like...5 sharps XD

And then "For Good" and "Popular" are both in the natural key of C XD  Was the composer on crack or did he just want to have fun with key signatures?

So, now adding to my long list of musicals I can play on piano.  Between Broadway musicals and movie music, I can keep anyone hyped up for hours I think XD  I'm still working on the ultra-neat Narnia theme that sounds very much like some of the Shrek music (it should; I can't quite remember if it's the same composer or if they're just brothers...but either way, it's related).  Which is kind of like how I learned the Pirates of the Caribbean theme.  The guy who wrote it was a protege of Hans Zimmer, who wrote the music to Gladiator.

Seriously; download "Barbarian Horde" and "He's a Pirate".  Almost identical in some places but for a couple of well-placed chords :P

Guh, my band geek is showing XD

Anyhow, yay electric guitar!  :D  I forgot how good I sound on it vs. the acoustic...even though both have light-gague strings (I know; I'm a wuss :P)

Now, all I have to do is get a real piano in the house and I'll be set for lifers... ;)  If my floor would support one and if I had the room XD

When I get to uni, I need to see if ONLY music majors are allowed in the sound-proof practice rooms...WCU has some awesome-pawsome practice rooms.

Anyhow, off to play more music!  Later, gators!

Concept idea thingie

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
wootness.

Yes, that's very professional of me :P  Thingie.

Anyhow, had a concept fic idea...dunno where I'll go with it or even if I'll do it.  But I was listening to some new music that I downloaded while in FL with my family (My mom's got TONS of CD's that she let me bootleg into iTunes and Dory's got tons of CD's that she let me do the same with...lol, they understand my unique music whoreness).

Dammit, it all started with the lyric "Dance, fucker dance".

The song itself made me think immediately of Jordan and JD, which Quaxo will totally get XD  How they can both be so manipulative without realizing it and how once the damage is done, they're back in the crowd.  Holy shnikes, this could SO be a bad/wrong JD/Jordan ficlet...guh, I don't know.

Anyway, here's the lyrics...if I can get the cut to work.

You're Gonna Go Far, Kid )
So that's it.  I was initially thinking a Jordan or Elliot centric-fic that centered on Elliot learning some manipulative, bitchy ways (ala Their Story), and how Elliot eventually turns on Jordan somehow by seducing Dr. Cox...hrm, still not a bad idea :P

Though the idea just came to me while typing this up of how to work it as a JD/Jordan fic wherein Jordan is still the manipulative processor who doesn't stand so idly to the side as JD gets some kind of mancrush on Dr. Cox...leads to Jordan stepping up her ways by initiating a threesome with Elliot and Dr. Cox just to let JD know where she stands as Queen Bee...

JD would have to do some fancy footwork to get back at her for that, but I'm sure it could be done somehow...what got me is that at the beginning of the song, it's talking about someone who is manipulative and bitchy, and the singer knows that.  Even more so near the end when the singer is suddenly the one on the receiving end of that behavior.

I don't know; definitely something to think about.  Like I said, don't know.  But it's definitely got potential (and I have a little time to pay attention since I'm out for summer break).

Might even log to msn at some point because Quaxo always gives me the bestest ideas ever XD  Even if I'm less than coherent while in awe of her twisting skills.  Anyhow, catch y'all soon!

Later, gators ^_^

All the nasty rantsy goodies behind the cut so that people don't have to be bogged down.

I'll try the happy sandwich though, where I start off with good news and then sandwich the bad news in under a cut and end with good news.

So, good news is, I've been doing much better since my episode over Christmas.  I won't be specific about any kind of help I'm getting, mostly because I'm not.  With the boyfriend out of work and a vacation coming up, I can't afford to put the money anywhere else than the bank box.

But the good news from that is yes, I'm taking a week to see my family.  I really miss them and they usually put me in a fairly good mood for a good while.  They're also excited to see Mr. Elise and I, though the trip is causing him quite a bit of headache (more in the cut).  I'm really looking forward to it ^_^  More good stuff after the cut!

Nasties, precious, nasties... )

Thus ends the rant to end all rants.  I feel a little better :)  So, to end the goodnews-badnews-goodnews sandwich, I made the Dean's List last semester.  I'm lurving Anatomy and Physiology...I suspect my grade would be better if I hadn't flaked out when it came to the first several homework assignments.  But I'm doing a lot better now that I've got my head out of my ass.  I've also been sober for several days.

It's kinda nice waking up and realizing I DON'T feel like crap.  And this semester, I've only got the four classes, so I'm not feeling as stressed as I did nearing the finals last semester, which is so much better.  I've also been cut free for nearly three and a half months.  I just passed my axial skeleton practical with FLYING colors, and I'll probably do well on the appendicular skeleton.

Fun stuff.  Later, bye!

Public for all to see

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
wootness.
I've made this particular entry public so that any and all readers can see why I haven't been around.  My friends will also see.

So I started school, was extremely happy about it.  School ended, was on the Christmas break.  I don't know how, why or when...but things suddenly came to a big, roaring head and I found myself sitting against my car, waiting for the EMT's to arrive to take me to the hospital because I gashed out a deep cut against my wrist in an attempt to kill myself.

I've been absent because Mr. Elise has been attempting to deal with this, and my "best friend" has had things of her own to deal with, as do all of my closest friends.  So it comes back down to Mr. Elise, who goes from wanting to help to wanting to pretend it never happened at all, to me, who feels like nothing was ever really solved in the first place.

I'm sorry for my absence; I know this doesn't quite excuse it.  I've already discussed handing off the Split Conference Arc to a very amazing writer, and I'm debating on Looking Glass.  Insomnia's Aftermath and Heroine can wait; both are "in the moment" fics, which I'm sure I'm capable of dealing with.

Either way, I wanted to apologize to the readers for my extraordinarily long absence and my inexecusable breakdowns.  I apologize profoundly, as is there is no excuse for the stupidity I've been stricken with.

Thanks to all; happy readings!

More of the same.

September 13th, 2008

So yeah.  Getting ready to start up work stuff XD  I haven't dropped too many comments recently; only a couple of fic postings from a thing I'm working on.

Anyhow, I started school back in August (a week before public school, fags), pulling up five classes right now.  American History is...predictable, so to speak, and been keeping up with that pretty nicely.  It's been homework-light, but I've got a buttload of research to be doing for a final group project on the Revolutionary War.  I'm also volunteering in a play for a re-enactment about the Mountain Men of Burke County.  Before the play, have to do a tour-guide thing and lead people around the old McDowell Plantation nearby our town.

Biology is SOOOO COOLZNITE, zomg, woot.  We just finished up the bits about organic chemistry and cell structure; I'm finding it to be a ton more interesting now that I have a very real goal in mind that A) requires me to know this and B) seems so much cooler now that I'm figuring in my head how this adds to medical knowledge.  No dissections this semester :(  But I will next semester in Biology II.  Along with just the Bio class, I'm in the Natural Sciences Club, which is gonna be a ton of fun.  We're planning raffling off some "Green Bags" that we're going to fill with eco-friendly cleaning products and other green things to raise money for the club.

We really want to see if a local butcher has a turkey or chicken stomach so we can test the myth if an alkaseltzer will really make it bust ;)  Somewhat along the lines of pop rocks/cola, diet coke/mentos, bird stomach/rice (all of which have been busted by either Mythbusters or Snopes.com).  But it'll still be cool.  Last year, the science club teacher-sponsor nearly blew his thumb off messing with chemistry bombs :P

Western Wold Lit, as predictable, is a breeze.  But then again, I used to be an English major, so that probably has a lot to do with it.  We've finished up Gilgamesh and the Odyssey, with a comparison/contrast analysis paper coming up with that.  Bleh.  But it'll be easy, so *shrugs*  My teacher, who's from Bulgaria, is really passionate about the works though, which makes the class easy to enjoy :)  She's also just really sweet.

And *le gasp* I'm actually understanding math XD  I'm just in Intermediate Algebra (remedial :( ) since I'm planning on calculus later.  But these are things she's going over that I've like...NEVER understood.  So for me to understand it and enjoy doing it is a big deal to me :)

And my last class is Walking for Fitness.  It's okay; my teacher's a real health nut.  But we tend to go walking before the dew's dried off the grass yet, so yesterday my sneakers were soaked from about 11:15 AM to last night when I got home at 10:30 PM.  Ouchies and yuckies.

So far, I've just been massive-crazy-busy with homework and clubs.  In Science Club, I got voted as the Student Government Association Representative, which I was more than happy to take :)  I'm hoping to run next year as either VP or Secretary.  I've got Film and Fine Arts Club coming up, as well as Rotoract (volunteer/community service).

Then I'm also still working.  Only about 18 to 25 hours a week (though I'd rather it closer to like...18 hours or so, which is what I told my manager, but she doesn't seem to be listening).  Besides, as long as I can study here and there while I'm at work, I'm fine.

Which all of this would be so much easier if the CV joint on my driver's side axle hadn't gone out Thursday XD  So my car's busted again...I'm seriously giving it some thought to just replace it :(  But it depends on what Dave thinks too, since he'll probably have to help out with the repairs.

My pell check (whatever I didn't use) comes back in about a week though, so hopefully, that'll help out massively.

Anyhow, gotta go get ready for work XD  Next chapter of His Insomnia's Aftermath ought to be up in the next few days...I'll probably do my studying at work, come home, write and study more tomorrow.

Next chapter, if anyone's interested, is "My Late Apology" (working title), based on the song "Noots" by Sum-41.  The following Jorliot chapter should be "Her Loving Lies", on the song "Your Love is a Lie" by Simple Plan.

So yeah.  Gotta go get ready for work ^_^  Later days :)

Title of Series: His Insomnia’s Aftermath

Chapter Title: Her Silly Rumor

Author: Elise Davidson

Rating: MA eventually, PG-12 for this installment

Pairings: JD/Cox, Jordan/Elliot

Warnings: Slash, Het, Femmeslash, Angst

Chapter: 2 of 20

Author’s Notes: I apologize beforehand for chapter/story title discrepancies. The name of the story is His Insomnia’s Aftermath, as it was Perry’s bout with dreams that started everything else.

I apologize for the long time; quicker than most of my updates, right? But again, school’s been rearing its very ugly head this semester; I’ve a lot I should’ve done tonight, but this one’s been in my head all day. Now that I have a clue as to what I’m doing with Jordan and Elliot, they should be easier to write.

Well, ‘nuff said. Hope you enjoy!

Shout Out:

Her Silly Rumor )
To Quaxo, aka MostePotente, for one of the final scenes. Go read her JD/Cox Discovery table! It’s amazingly written, and very amusing/touching to read. Good stuff. Anyhow, I based one of those final scenes off of her first prompt. It’s not word-for-word, but she deserves the shout-out muchly because her JD/Cox table is just so damn cute! Lurve you, C-dawg!

His Insomnia's Aftermath

Mostly because I've been too busy to write much else...thought I'd go ahead and post this; see what happens, bler.

01 His Insomnia's Aftermath )

August 1st, 2008

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
wootness.
So....I've been working on both the Split Conference Arc and the Looking Glass arc.

But in real life news :P  See, that's how I get ya :P

Anyway XD

Just kidding.  Though I have been working on both said fics, and a couple of tables.  I have, however, been swamped with work, quick vacation and now school's looming in a couple of weeks ^^

Yes, that's right folks.  Old college-drop-out here is going back to school XD  And what a loaded semester I've got...I'm going to try and take General Bio I, Survey of Mathematics, Fit and Well for Life (mandatory PE course for my English AA), British Literature, American History and Intro to Computers...if I pass both Intro to Comp and Survey of Math with an A or B, I'll have my math courses done for my English AA, and after that, all I really need are a few electives :D and...woot!

I'll be done with that infernal English AA and can really start the harder core parts of my Biology AA so I can do my BA in Biochemistry.  I'll have to muddle through a remedial math course here or there...but I don't care.  I'm going back to school to do something I've wanted to do since I was like...12 instead of doing something my folks wanted me to do because it was cheaper and easier.

To be fair to them, I was probably in that mindset too.

Anyhow, vacation went pretty well...having a brutal week back (been working at the Big Lots since last Monday, I'll be on until Tuesday afternoon...bleh...counted it up, it's like...9 days in a row my first week back XD)

But during vacation...da-da!  I got three new tats done and got my old one re-touched ^_^  I'll post pics and stuff later on...suffice to say, my artist, "Adrian" (good friend of mine for about 3 years), retouched my cross and pirate sword on my left shoulder, did a big tribal dragon on my left, a medium-size version of the cross and snake from Full Metal Alchemist on my left wrist and a big faceless grim reaper on my back...faceless because I wanted a different face ;)  So unfinished as of yet, but I'm going up to his place for spring break hopefully ^^  At which time I'll get the reaper finished and then also get a series of six elements done into my right wrist/forearm sorta area and also get Alice from American McGee's Alice done on my left forearm ^^  Lotsa plans.

In any case, been a few full months, even though I updated like...5 weeks ago.  When I got back to work, it was to find that one person had quit, another could no longer work days and that someone else, like myself, was going back to school and wouldn't be able to work days either.  So I finally managed to get my schedule worked out so that I can take the classes I need to take as well as work days at the Big Lots...

I seriously can't wait.  It's gonna be a blast to go back to school finally, especially knowing now what I should've known then.

But that's about it.  This was just an update on me, but I'll probably be tossing out a Looking Glass update soon with a potential Silent Partner update in the works.  I need to reread through the majority of Split Conference and Silent Partner to remember where I was going and what I was going to do and how to do it properly XD  If that makes much sense :P

I have plenty of Scrubs though to help.  After all, I finished getting all six seasons of Scrubs recorded onto DVD about two months ago, woot!  So much fun... ^^

Anyhow, catch everyone laters ^^

Wow...so...I'm not dead

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
wootness.

Just realized the last time I was really in LJ was about...seven weeks ago.  But I honestly haven't been on the comp much in any of that time.  It's one of those things (again) where Dave gets the comp for most of the time because when he's home, he's on it.  I'm updating here because I have a rare moment of updateage on the computer ^_^

So...in recent news, finally started something I've been meaning to do for a while, and that's cut back on my drinking habit.  I'd say I'm way on the right road to being an alcoholic, and I'd rather nip that in the bud before it becomes my life.  And for a while, it was.  Well, screw that.  Life's too short to spend every other day feeling like crap and to spend the other days looking forward to having a beer or something.  There's more than that, and I've got more stuff in my life to accomplish.

Which, speaking of, finally got everything done at the school until registration.  If I really push it, I can finish my English AA while starting up my Bio AA.  That'll look pretty good, I suppose, when I go to apply for uni, having two associates under my belt.  I was looking at my transcripts from college, and I nearly laughed myself silly because all of my English/Communication classes were a B or above...my one math class was a D, my history classes were C's and my science classes were a happy medium of B's and C's XD  I really need to discipline myself into studying harder...

Any tips for how to become an overacheiving geek?  XD  Hard work and discipline...might as well tat them into my arm...

Speaking of tats and arms... :D  Dave and I are going to be entertaining a couple of online buds from Ohio in July...it's gonna rock like a hurricane ^_^  Lindsey's pretty cool; we're a lot alike...plus she shows me what meds can do for a person XD  And Adrian's a lot like Dave, except with more ink on him XD  He's gonna do a couple of tattoos for me while they're down here ^_^

Part of the cutting back on my drinking is that I'm taking a few pages out of the books of my friends who do Weight Watchers...the whole point thingie.  I'm not sure if I'd want to calculate that much; I know what kinds of foods are good for me and why the bad foods are bad... in any case, one of them saves up her points all week so she can have Miller Lite at the end of the week.

Plus, I've found a ton of great Zero-Point foods that are also zero-fat and nearly zero-cal...fresh veggies, good soups that are high in fiber...stuff like that...but like I said, I'm cutting back on the drinking because it's starting to take over the kind of person I am, and I really don't like that.

>.>  Not to mention the hangover to end them all kicked my ass over the course of a few hours that had me struggling to gag over a toilet kinda cured me for a while XD  So I've been doing pretty good for the past four or five days...and I'm loving how much more energetic I am and how much more alert I am.  :)  I'm also going to get back into writing down what sort of exercise I do like I used to, which is what I was doing when I was losing the most weight.

God, I've written a lot XD  On the other side of it, my family might be coming to visit in May.  I'm actually looking forward to it, as opposed to dreading it :)  My mother sent me a reply e-mail to a forward I sent, and it was kind of nice...she's never e-mailed me before XD  But she's also really busy...starts work at about 7 AM, doesn't get home sometimes until 9PM or later...she works really hard, and she taught me better than to loaf around and settle for less than what I want.

Besides, the minute you settle for less than what you want, you get exactly what you deserve.  And not only do I want more out of my life then working at the BL and drinking myself into an early grave, but I'm better than that.  ^_^

So anyway, just kind of feeling like I'm in a good place right now...but I've been here before, and I've crashed before several times.  I'm hopefully going to stay here though, but no promises...I'm not sure how I get knocked on my ass, but it's not gonna be my lack of discipline/hard work this time.  Not again, anyway.  Both my parents worked extremely hard to bring up 5 kids, and I want to do them proud.  ^_^  Not just for them, but for me too.

So that's about where I've been.  Hauling through furniture, trying to find a good foothold for life, working with the school to go back, and also recording tons of Scrubs...

Oh!  For all my of my Scrubs-buddies...hee...I have the complete Season I, Season IV and Season V on DVD!  And I'm only one ep from having Season II, one from having Season III, one from having Season VI...and I have a few from Season VII...so awesome XD  And, if my calculations are correct (because I've gotten into the habit of predicting episodes), I'll have Season II and Season III by May 8th, possibly May 2nd...

WOOHOO!  I've been working on it for six months now...so cool...and after I get it all, I just have to categorize them by season.

So yeah...that's about it for me...I'm not sure when I'll be back on LJ...I'm still working on Looking Glass here and there...I'm about halfway through Chapter 17...I need to find a place to actually have them STOP for 2 seconds to breathe XD  But that's about to happen ^.^  And maybe some more JD/Cox angsty moments and stuff...maybe even a kiss soon!  I dunno...but I'll get to it ^_^

I really wouldn't mind making a huge final push towards it to finish Looking Glass before I go back to school...because once I go back to school, I'll be super-strapped for time...but sometimes I work best like that...who knows.

Anyways, I've gotta jet XD  I've got work tomorrow and Monday, and I had a shift today that involved hauling 5 sofas, 4 loveseats and a couple of recliners out the door within six hours XD  I don't know why I went for my walk today if that was gonna hapen XD  But still, hauling furniture's more about strength-training, and the walking's more about cardio...so I'm getting both in XD

Anyways, later days!

So, yeah.  For those of you who are fans of Looking Glass, I'm writing a table for the original version for Libris.  There are no spoilers for the actual story (plot-wise in Looking Glass), and those of you who have discussed the inner-workings of the Looking Glass will know what most of everything means.  I need to post it somewhere.

Meh.  Anyway.

The table, by the way, that I'm using, I got from Jay, who is using it as a JD/Janitor table from 100_Drabbles Community.  Check it!

Yeah, I'm in a disillusioned mood tonight.

And maybe I'm just picky, or a bitch, or too embittered or too cynical....

But christ, are us JD/Cox scrubs-fans really reduced to being okay with uber-girly!JD and uber-manly!Cox to satisfy us?  Is there no medium?

Christ, why couldn't I have gotten obessessed with a bigger fandom.... ><  Oh yeah, I remember...'cause I'm a freaking coward XD

In any case, I've actually looked at some of the recent (past month or so) postings of Scrubsfics.  Wow, did season 6 just...KILL spirits or what?

And the only other thing I can think of that is making me THIS embittered or crappy right now is that my grandmother died; I spent 20 hours in a car with my parents and younger sister, and then two hours on a plane so that I could be "back to work ASAP".  My grandma....she's...dead.  Just like my Aunt Dorothy.  ><  Two wonderfully strong women.

But yeah, good christ....am I the ONLY person who's just fuggin' sick of girly!JD and ubermacho!Cox?

><  I miss my Aunt Dorothy and Grandma Audra...

God I'm a list-whore

Add to Memories Tell a Friend

I don't know where it came from, but yeah.  I like making lists.

 

Some explanation is that the music stuff is mostly about a bunch of songs I want to learn by the end of the year, and writing stuff is just updates and notes for my stories.

And, my last happy note...it's getting a little cooler here!  *dies of happiness*  The low tonight is supposed to be FORTY-SEVEN F!!!  That just makes me squee and feel warm and squooshy inside... :D

Oh, and this entry's up for everyone because I'm discussing writing stuff and not everyone who reads my stuff can get to my friends-locked pages, etc.  Later!

Libris-Prologue

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
wootness.

Okay, so I'd mentioned it, and here it is.

This is the original version of "My Looking Glass", which, while the plot dynamics are similar, the character set-ups are way different XD

Anyway, on with the fic!

Title: Libris
Rating: M for mature situations and violence
Author: Elise Davidson, (c) 1998-2007
Summary: Since the beginning of civilization, people have believed in other words and have long-since looked for the gateways to arrive.  Now, lives will change forever when one of those gateways is finally found.
Author's Notes: Within story, though I will go ahead and let everyone know that it's being posted in its very original form with no slash.  There's not much romance in the whole story in general, to be honest...but it's been a while since I've written it all the way through, so that might change in time.

Enjoy!

Oh god, by the time I got home last night, I was an absolute zombified goopile of my former myself >.>

Which sucked, because Tuesday was so wonderful XD  *is still attempting not to be so giggly over it*

Tuesday was fantastic, between the CNA interview (which I thought went pretty well, though I'm still hesitant to say much over it until I either get a callback or a week goes by), and then I had a nice afternoon to relax and wind down from the said interview.  Then I hopped online for a while, and that turned out to be...well, just so much more than I had hoped for.  :)  Made me smile...

>.>  Which hasn't stopped yet; Mr. Elise said I was giggling in my sleep (But I think he was just teasing me, silly boy).

Anyway, so Tuesday rocked (despite the 'versary of Sept 11).  Which, coincidentally... XD  I met my first wonderful boyfriend on the original Sept 11 th (god, I'm old).

Anyway, back to Wednesday XD  *hopes she didn't babble this much at the interview*  So the morning started off a bit rough anyway with my phone ringing at about 8 AM.  (I had only been down for about three).

It's Nana and Tata (my grandmumsie and grandpapi).  They want to know A) if I'm not working today; maybe I'd like to come and visit? and B) how IS the car running?

Stumbling through the kitchen and finally snagging a cup of day-old cold coffee XD, I said that I did have to work today, but that I was off at six and yes, I'd love to come over with Mr. Elise for a visit (because I'm the only grandkid from my mother's herd still in North Carolina; the others took off for hot, humid, hurricaney Florida).

And then came the bad news about the car.

Which, if I haven't told anyone about this XD  Oh god, you'll love it...car ran great for about a week.  Seemed to overheat a bit, which we had to give a temporary fix with water and watching the gague XD

Unfortunately, I might've either slammed the final nail into that car's coffin or it was cracked when I got it.  When we finally started getting the actual radiator coolant in there, it starts pouring from the engine block.

Which yeah, means what I thought when I groaned.  My car's engine blocked is totally fucked and cracked.  Not an easy fix, nor is it a cheap one.  At this point, it'd be cheaper to take the car to a handshake dealer with about a 400 downpayment and just get a different junker to get me from A to B.

Which means for the last week and a half, I've had to either get to work incredibly early (like...six hours before my shift starts which usually has me clocking in a hell of a earlier than I'd wanted to because the manager wants someone to "work" and he feels "bad"), or I have to wait for a long time after I'm done.

As it is tomorrow, one of my friends at work offered to pick me up (which is great; otherwise I would've ended up getting there at 7:15 AM for my shift that starts at 3:30 PM XD)

Anyway, so I just kinda edged around it; told them it was getting looked at in the shop >.>  Tata's going to either feel awful or ashamed of himself, but I'm banking on the first ><  

Okay, so with the phone call ended, I stumble back into bed (though a little wired from the coffee shots I took) to try and grab some more sleep (plus it was nice and cold for once, woot!)

Right?  Wrong.

My phone starts ringing again, and it's work.  Now, I didn't have to be in yesterday until noon.  They call me in ASAP XD

So, extra hours.  I needed them anyway.  So I poke Mr. Elise until he groans loudly enough to let me know he's getting up and go into work at nine to work until six (not hugely disappointing...more hours and I get a thirty minute and 2 fifteen minute breaks, which beats a single fifteen by a long shot).

Work was a nightmare.  They had me (on my fourth day of work) there as a price-checker and also the minion of one of the associate managers, who had me switching endcaps and merchandise to clearance all day long XD  Which was okay, since it kept me busy, but I was at the front of the store, clearance is in the back, opposite corner XD

And price-checking...well...let's just say that one of the managers assigned someone else to that because I just couldn't find anything XD  They were less than pleased...but I did get all of the product moved!  XD

So I get home at six-thirty and change (though the Big Lots uniform is mostly whatever you want to wear under an ugly black vest) because I'd spilled my soda all over my shirt XD and go over to the Grandparents' house.

Which resulted in their asking why I'm still wearing long-sleeve shirts, do I want people thinking that I'm covering up needle marks, and is there something that I want to talk about with them?

>.>  Anyway, Mr. Elise to the rescue, he pushes them off of the stupid subject about my stupid arms and gets Tata talking about his political views....god, I've warned him about that...

Meh, serves him right.  Nana and I left them alone to debate; I think Tata wanted to pull out some old-school Mexican-fighting-spirit on him...

At which point Nana turned on the interrogation again ><  But this time, I just kinda gave noncommittal answers.

The last thing I need is for Nana to hop on the phone with my mother and tell her "your next-to-youngest wears long sleeves all the time, I think she's doing drugs" which for the love of god, I'm not hiding needle marks.

Which is the truth XD  People are too specific.

Anyway, it was nine-thirty by the time Mr. Elise wanted to leave XD  Apparently, Tata's a damn good debater.  Hugs, kisses, into the car, and into the house, finally...

So by that time, Mr. Elise wants to have a beer and wants to know if I want one too.  I really thought about it by that point, but I got through half of mine before I finally just collapsed on the couch and completely conked out.

I woke up this morning at Nine AM with a note from Mr. Elise saying he'd get out of work around five and he'd see me then XD

And I'm spent.  God, yesterday was just...blech.  Tuesday...great.  Wednesday...not so great.

So now I'm to Thursday.  *holds up her coffee mug and toasts it to being a great day*

>.>  *pokes people*  And be sure to check out Nighthawkms's Fides.  I've been a bad, bad girl in not doing that myself, but damn if it isn't an excellent story.

*flounces off to read it herself and post other things*
