Currents of Time

This was almost an entry on how I preparing to storm my doctor's office and bust heads, but apparently that won't actually be necessary. So instead I guess I'll try this meme thing I'm seeing around, though I haven't actually prompted anyone yet.

Pick a date in December and give me something to talk about. Music, TV, books, video games, monsters, writing, science, publishing, food, travel, fictional characters and all of their feelings, cuddly animals, whatever.

( List? )

ugh I tried. No, still need text outside the bottom of the cut or I'm bothered by it. okay fine here is some text now shut up brain

mysticeden told me to.

I'm going to try to make one of these every day. Due to my tendency to lose track of midnight, though, there may be the occasional two posts in one day and none on another. Not that that is really important? Meh.

EDIT
LJ WHY THE HELL DO YOU KEEP REROUTING ME TO RANDOM RUSSIAN JOURNALS.

HAPPY things that are here:
+ Foliage is at its peak. TREES SO PRETTY OMG. I do not want to work or go to class. I want to drive around the state all day. So much better than last year, you have no idea. SO. PRETTY.
+ It is October. More specifically, it is October 4^th, which is an added bonus. Explanation not one I feel comfortable putting up in public, but it's nothing serious or anything. Just one of those topics Jecca is twitchy about.
+ Khocha! YES. I AM LEVELING LOLDRG. To go with my loldrk? I will not level lolpup. (Dragoon, Dark Knight, and Puppetmaster, all jobs in FFXI with less than stellar reputations. Actually, DRG and DRK are both doing okay these days. PUP, though... well... lolpup.) But, really, my wyvern is terrific. I ♥ her.
+ My ability to use all ten fingers. It's here (again)! My wound is healing nicely.
+ Speaking of FFXI, Drain Samba is the most amazing job ability in the world. I am going to level Dancer and then sub it to everything.
+ MAIL!! thebaconfat, thank you so much! (I was totally going to write an e-mail saying essentially that, but Yahoo - or my internet - is being ridiculously stupid and I can't sign in tonight...)
+ SCORPION HARNESS haha, wait, that's old news. BUT I CAN ALMOST WEAR IT NOW. \o/! I have been gearing my Thief up pretty good. It is surprisingly satisfying, even though it is eating my gil stash.
+ I found it unreasonably hilarious to learn that one of my coworkers thinks I'm only 17 years old (or maybe younger!). DUDE. You have to be at least 18 to work in my department (though I guess he might not know that). Do I really look that young...? I am both confused and struck silly by this.
+ Supernatural things are full of season four spoilers and so ( are hidden from view! ) It's short, but spoilery.


Less-excellent things:
- Life on Mars remake starts this week (THURSDAY AT 10 ON ABC) and I know I am going to watch it and I fear so much that it will be awful, and then I will weep. Please do not be as awful as I am afraid you might be, remake!
- OMG IT IS COLD TODAY. Also, snow in the upper regions, meaning we'll have snow here within six weeks. DAD. HEY DAD. CAN WE TURN THE HEAT ON YET. SERIOUSLY WHEN IT HITS 30 IT IS TIME TO TURN THE HEAT ON.
- I have the "GT" branch of Alt-verse on the brain again. GO. AWAY.
- Who invented emotions, anyway?

I have a rash on my nose from having to blow it so much. *generally unhappy, disgruntled noises*

I have about twelve things I want to rant on, but I'm tired and I don't like making extremely long entries on multiple subjects, so I'll probably try and cover them all over the next couple days.

Note to self:
- DB ch
- CP J 2p
- AS!R def
- "I'd rather" OC etc
- new VG :D
- ego man



For now, though, just a short story of sorts. My work shirt has a stiff collar. Some days I have to wear this shirt with a stiff collar for upwards of eight hours, all while moving around and sweeping the floors and such. Sometimes the collar chafes my neck a little.

Over dinner tonight Dad had a sudden spasm and asked me who I'd been kissing, since the red mark (I have one on each side of my neck, but he could only see the one) apparently looks kind of like a hickey. ...Man, what a stupid word. Who the heck came up with that, anyway?

I think he was kind of happy about it, until I told him it was just my shirt scratching at me (this led to a strange conversation about my shirt being sexy, which of course led into Mom trying to sing that "too sexy for my shirt" song, even though she doesn't know any of the lyrics).

Though it kind of distresses me that my dad thinks it's some kind of personal affront to him that I have yet to even remotely display interest in anyone. (Really, who lives to twenty without having had a crush/boyfriend/make-out session/pregnancy scare/whatever? Me, I think he watches too many teen drama shows. Feh.)

I kind of feel bad for my parents. They really don't get that I'm just not interested in sex or any of that other stuff (cuddles are okay, but keep your face-sucking away from me, please).
