Gyro

After having so much free time (and TVs) I've come to realize that I don't have much patience for television. Nobody has time for commercials. I think that the ones on Hulu are annoying enough even though none of them are relevant to me (it's nice that they continue to ask). I can only sit down and watch the news, variety shows, and music channels. I guess it doesn't matter that much because I'm not home very often. I've also come to realize that I don't like America that much. The reason why Americans are so fat is because they drive everywhere, but at the same time if you can't drive in America you might as well be in prison because you can't go anywhere. The paradox of obesity.

Flashback to this little guy. :)

Game face

Mandatory artsy beach photo. The real vacation starts in one day. My face is covered in mosquito bites due to being forced to socialize. :(

Glitter

Does anyone need a fire hydrat? It's strange because they spelled it correctly in the smaller font below it. I was forced onto a ferris wheel yesterday and it was incredibly frightening. I felt really dizzy and I forced everyone to stay still. I stopped my friend from scratching his leg to prevent the shaking. I don't know how I'm ever going to accomplish my goal of riding a hot air balloon.

Temporary dog. Isn't he a cute one?

Goose egg

Only here will you find duck shaped food items. 

Ground up

Here's a preview.

Love river, which really isn't as romantic as it sounds because it smells like sewage. People used to dump all of their sewage here, so it used to be deserted until they cleaned it up, but it still smells regardless. Anyway, I've been wanting to go here during the night time to see the lights and ride on the ferry because yes, I'm still obsessed with ferries even though I'll probably be vomiting the whole time. I'm planning on going with my friend in a few days.

You know what else isn't romantic?

Merry Christmas from far away :) One more week and the real vacation begins.

Grinch life

Ah, Christmas...

Grotesque

If you have a higher standard of living it will correspond to your success in life. If you like expensive things chances are you’re going to work harder in order to buy your caviar, but if that doesn't work out you’re probably going to end up being a gold digging, baby making housewife. I’m still not sure if eating expensive food is justified. If you observe naked reality and ignore nutrient content, everything we eat looks the same after a day or two. Don’t try to prove me wrong by eating a whole box of tangerines because you’re going to regret it and end up on a Pepto-Bismol commercial. 

I've always wondered whether or not the people in those types of commercials feel embarrassed. They're always smiling and claiming that they have diarrhea or some type of STD. If they walked into a party and tried to meet people it would probably go down like this...

"Hi my name is X"
"Oh hey! I know you! I was watching New Girl on Hulu the other day and you showed up in a couple of ads!"
"Oh..."
"Sorry to hear about your diarrhea, are you feeling better? Also, how's your chlamydia? You know you should really wear a condom... "
"..."

Germinate

It's not that I have anything against Asos because I'm completely in love with their clothing, but I just think that if you're a model and you're trying to sell an outfit it's really unnecessary to pose like this. I get that they're young and sexy and yes, they do make the clothes look more attractive, but realistically no one has the energy to walk around with one arm raised above their head all day. Also, don't get the wrong idea, I'm not looking for sequined fox sweaters. That thing is no joke though, I can't believe it's $542.84. I wonder how much people would pay to wear a sweater with my face on it... it's guaranteed to cause car accidents.

Gum tape

These are really quite clever...

Also, look what I found while I was drinking coffee! Nobody is going to understand this... anyway...

Gamete

HAHAHA. I had to share the laughter. Thanks for the link buddy. 

I don't even use Facebook, but I probably would if these were real. 

Gratitude

As a general rule of thumb the largest blueberries should be saved for consumption last. Also, a wedding ring about this size should be big enough.

I dropped one on my bed and I couldn't find it even after lifting the blankets and moving the pillows. I'll probably eventually squish it in my sleep because that's typically how my life plays out. It's worse when it's pomegranates because I wake up thinking it's that time of the month. 

I scoped out this new guitar store with my friend this weekend and it was pretty nice mostly because they have all of the high end Taylor guitars that I drool over. It's difficult to find places like this because the market demand is so low. 

How romantic. ;)

Gritty

After watching so many questionable documentaries I've come up with a list of the most common reasons for why innocent people get murdered.

1. They are desperately searching for someone to love them and delve into relationships too quickly
2. Substance abuse/drug related circumstance
3. Going to bars/night clubs
4. Hanging around the wrong people
5. Being too rich or too poor

There are days I wish I were a pigeon.

Gondola

Ah, so this is what I've been doing all these years. I was unaware there was a term for my meaningless arm flailing.

I'm sure I've posted something similar before, but these still made me laugh.

...and these are equally hilarious... because everyone does #14.

Graphite

Although I don't like to admit it, I think I'm a pretty sensitive person. I'm not typically outwardly expressive of my emotions because I don't want to be known as one of those crazy psychos, but in my mind I'm always over-thinking, "Why haven't they called me back?" "Why haven't they responded?"

This is so perfect because it's Grey's Anatomy :)

My usual response is to freak out internally and analyze everything, but recently I've come to terms with myself and the rest of the world. Honestly, once I stopped trying so hard and caring so much everything started falling into place. I've been really happy. There has to be back and forth, give and take. Constantly chasing people around isn't healthy (or useful) because in the end those that want to stay will stay and those that want to go will go. Simple. It's not that I don't care about anything anymore, rather I find that it's become very easy to let go. 

Gumdrop

My credit card and debit card expired at the same time and I haven't received either one of the cards in the mail yet, so I've been living off of $7 cash this week. It was really embarrassing when I called my credit card company because they wanted to check my last transaction to see if I authorized a payment of $4.68 to... Jelly Belly Outlet. Kill me now. Actually, I probably could have died the other day because I fell off of a ladder when I was trying to trim a large bush. I landed on my butt and now have a large pear-shaped bruise. This would potentially be useful if I was a pre-school teacher teaching fruits... but then I would get arrested and accused of being a pedophile. They tell you that you'll be better off if you go to college, but nothing has changed. I still can't afford a gardener. The economy at it's finest. What else did I do these days...? Gave a FedEx man a Snapple just because. I guess that's about it though.

I love rainy days :)

This. Is. Hilarious. We were bored. You know, I looked back at my posts and realized that any guitar/piano I've posted has all been of me fooling around. Since you guys take time out of your lives to read about my ridiculous life I think I should record for you guys at least once though I honestly think I play better live because recording makes me nervous. Anyway, look forward to it--or don't. P.S. That's the $6000 guitar that I said I wasn't going to buy, but did because I'm a lousy piece of crap. You can't really tell from the ridiculous video though.

Gawdelpus

Continued--I'm pretty sure that's part of why I'm not particularly good at receiving compliments even at this age. There's a difference between being humble and truly not believing what people are telling you. I'm probably the second one. I recently went to my friend's house and I was just chilling, playing guitar when her boyfriend walked in and was in shock. He then told me that I played guitar really well and that I should hold concerts and teach at some institute. I said thanks (not really believing him) and he went on to asking me a bunch of questions about guitar and he told me that he grew up surrounded by music (though he himself doesn't play) and that his sister was a music major, but he felt that she was very mechanical and played with no emotion. He then went on to ask me how I felt while playing guitar--usually happy--and if every time I played it sounded different--depends on how I feel and he said that he could probably sit and listen to me play for hours. I finally believed him after talking to him for 3 hours.

Guitar is one of the things I care about most in the world. It's unfortunate that I haven't found anyone as interested in it as I am and I was sad when I realized that this is the first time someone has ever asked me--in such detail--about something that I truly care about. Though I guess it's understandable no one has ever asked me about receptors in detail... I could go on for hours. Anyway, it was nice. I need to meet more people like this because after I left I was so happy that I couldn't help smiling every time I thought about playing.

Genuinely caring about others and what they care about is the fundamental basis of a friendship or any relationship for that matter. Unfortunately, genuinely caring about people is a rarity possessed by only a select few in this world. Find them while you can and don't let go because finding more... well, good luck with that.

Although dark and gloomy, I know that my past experiences have made me the person I am today, so it's okay. I just think that as as parent there are better ways to teach children.

Grimace

Oh gosh, this is great. When I was younger my parents never let me believe there was a Santa Claus. In Elementary School they taught all of us that if we were "good kids" we would get a visit from Santa Claus and when I went home it went down like this:

"X teacher told me that Santa Claus will give me a present if I'm good!"
"...No. There's no Santa."

Thanks parents. And this is why I am a twisted person. Then again, I'm pretty sure these days kids can just Google whether or not there's a Santa. Actually, to tell you the truth I don't believe in giving children 10,000 gifts on one day. I think it's better to positively reinforce them for good behavior consistently. Growing up I never received positive reinforcement for anything, but plenty of punishment was received for 98/100. I was eventually two classes ahead of my grade in math, playing piano like a good kid, winning essay writing competitions in the newspapers, etc. Somehow whatever I attempted was never enough. I became desperate--grasping at straws. I worked incredibly hard to try and be good at everything in order to hear them say good job or that they were proud of me. Nothing. As a result I became good at a bunch of random useless things and it wasn't until college that I figured out I should want to excel for myself and not for anyone else. From there I picked up Biochemistry and a guitar and sailed away into the moonlight.

I'll continue this later--it's getting too personal.

Guarantee

Basically.

This will blow your mind. I hate peeling oranges and tend to fall in love with people that peel them for me, but I guess I don't have to anymore.

Ganglia

The only things I have to look forward to these days are playing guitar or watching dark and twisted documentaries on Netflix mostly involving WWII or drug cartels. You all should watch The Great Dictator by Charlie Chaplin if you have time. It was made before America's involvement in the war and it's a comedic attack on Nazi belief and caused a lot of controversy in America because at that time people assumed things happening in Germany were "not that bad." The film itself is funny, but there's a very dark undertone. It's really interesting. This video is also really interesting...

Graph

United States version.
Europe version.

For some reason Americans find it preposterous that people don't know all of the states because America, in general, believes that they're the center of the world. The truth is, 90% of people on Earth could not possibly care less how many states we have. However, I find it kind of sad that most Americans don't know the countries in Europe. I think they purposely don't teach us geography when we're younger, so that we become self-centered bigots. I mean, my geography sucks. If I don't know where something is I label it as "somewhere in the middle east" and leave it at that.

Facula

Hey look, a twerky! This seems to be appropriate for the season.

Yes, that was necessary.

Favela

Oops. I got carried away with shopping and I started neglecting my blog. To summarize, I'm more broke than I was before, so that's always fun. 2:00am-10:00pm; some happenings of the day:

Brr... it's cold.
BRR! It's cold in here! There must be something wrong with the atmosphere... Do you know that or am I too old?
...You're too old.

Wait I need to get my book because you're going to be in Banana for three hours.
What?? I'm not going to be in there for three hours. This is ridiculous!
YOU'RE ridiculous!

I was trying to go to my car when this creepy guy shouted, "Hey baby what's up?" which I ignored and responded with, "HMM I can't find my car" and walked away. Along those lines there were five employees that kept stalking me at Guitar Center. I can't figure out if it's because they thought I was going to break something or if it was because I was playing drifting (I was pretty impressed that one of them knew what I was playing), which attracts a lot of attention, so I don't generally like playing it in public.

Oh and apparently Forever 21 is advocating for The Scarlet Letter. Get it while it's hot. Keep it scandalous.

Future

I know this is supposed to be inspirational and all, but it just made me want to eat jellybeans. As a kid I really liked juicy pear, but those Harry Potter beans ruined it because they made the same pattern on the booger flavored jelly bean. Also, my ear is still infected because someone gave me a graduation present and told me that it was white gold when it clearly wasn't because my ear has been and continues to be the size of a cauliflower. Did you guys know that ___Buy is starting their Black Friday sale at 6:00pm on Thanksgiving? That's not a typo. Unbelievable.

I'm really hooked onto Just Dance. The sad part is my audio component cable hasn't even arrived yet, so I've been playing without sound. It's what I get for being cheap and having it journey from China. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I look like an idiot or a psycho (probably a combination of the two), but it's super fun and I think you guys should join me. Speaking of dancing, I started doing U-jam a while ago and it's awesome because it's more upbeat/hip hop-ey. It took me a while to figure out that Zumba is over-hyped--or maybe sexy Latin was never my thing.

Fascination

Kimchi fried... quinoa! It sounds odd, but it ended up being pretty good. Also, I have some big news! Let me take a moment to tell you guys that I'm getting married! Psych. I would never announce that on social media, but I do, however, have some big news... I successfully roasted chestnuts! You would think that roasting chestnuts is simple, but it took me five or six times to perfect it though I'm sure no one cares. Speaking of potential love interests... there's this one creeper... Ugh. Never mind, I don't want to go into detail. Just know that I am deeply irritated and wish someone would save me.

To the imbecile: You cannot demand respect from people if you do not give them the same respect that you desire. You have a masters degree, but that doesn't mean you're a better person than anyone else. You're horrible and that's why no one likes you. Sad life.

Friction

Are you going on a date?
No, I'm going to sell drugs.
What? But it's a Tuesday..

Hey, what are you doing?
I'm doing bad things.
I know, but when are you coming back?

Sorry, I left some bras out...
That's okay, it's probably from your night job.

-_- my reputation is going down the drain.

Franchise

You can only be mad at someone if you care, but at the same time anger and frustration are a function of certain emotions that are triggered for one reason or another. You will cease to feel anger and frustration if you find the underlying cause and alter your disposition. I agree that most people in the world are frustrating, but that's not going to change, so instead you need to change yourself.

Recently I met someone super nice. It nearly restored my faith in humanity and I thought that there were actually people in this world that cared about my existence without any ulterior motives... until I realized that they were attempting to manipulate me into becoming a financial recruit for some large company in San Francisco. I don't understand why it's so difficult for people to be kind just for the sake of being kind. I don't exactly like finding out about these things through a power point presentation in which my jaw is half open and I'm thinking F***MYLIFE that's what's going on?! This is precisely why it's so difficult for me to trust people. Just when I think I can perhaps begin to let loose I get tossed into a wood shredder. Moment of silence for my stupidity.

...and to lighten the mood.

Fantasy

My friend has this theory that being in America nothing gets done unless you yell at people and threaten to sue them. I've never really believed this to be true because I've gotten pretty good deals (internet/phone) by joking around with people and being pleasant in general. However, recently I tried my method and it didn't work because they ignored me and I got irritated, so I decided to use a different approach. I wrote out an angry script, practiced, and called to deliver my speech in which I told them that I wasn't going to send it back to them unless they pay for shipping and I also told them that they had to send me the correct product or give me a full refund. I think the key is to not give them a choice... The company decided to give me a full refund, said that I didn't have to return the incorrect product that they sent me, and they would send me the correct product for free. My friend might be on to something... I feel very accomplished because I got more than what I demanded, but at the same time I'm kind of in shock because I've never really spoken to anyone like this before. Who knew you could go so far in life by being a jerk. That's probably why there are so many rude people in our society. Positive reinforcement/appeasement for bad behavior.

Flicker

I was in such a bad mood last night that I watched Schindler's List. It probably doesn't make sense that when I'm in a bad mood I watch things that are depressing and sad because normal people would probably watch things that make them smile or laugh, but if I'm upset I need to drag myself down to the lowest point in order to get it out of my system. It's sort of like when the update pops up on your computer and you keep pressing "four hours later" until you have 37 updates in queue and your computer gets sick of your s--- and restarts by itself. Something like that.

Anyway, I've been reset. I'm back to normal. It's just that when you're put in a position where you need to tell people of higher status what to do it becomes a relentless battle of tug-of-war, but the problem is the fact that I don't want to pull, so I'm being dragged on the ground and scraped against rocks like a carcass tied to the back of a Jeep in the middle of the hot safari. Too much?

This is going to mean more if you've played Animal Crossing or know how the game works, but I seriously teared up like crazy. So touching~

Fossor

A while ago I had to go to Urban Dictionary to look up what "icing" meant (who knew such an idiotic game existed) and I came across the following, which I thought were both ridiculous and hilarious:

The words/phrases people come up with these days are so interesting. I also looked up spooning about a week ago and I still don't really understand it because theoretically you could do the same thing with a fork... but then I guess you would call that forking and that could potentially cause some problems. Knifing, bowling, cupping (sounds dirty), and plating don't really work either. Hmm, I never would have guessed that things like this were so well conceptualized. Ugh, FORK!! ...knife spatula... it needs to be December already.

Gall bladder was the funniest. :)

Fanal

Look who turned into an innovative hipster :)

I bet you guys didn't think I was capable of doing something like this, right? Next thing you know I'm going to be putting everything into glass jars. Actually, I wanted to buy replacement lamp shades, but they didn't sell them on Amazon or anywhere else for that matter, so I had to improvise. Also, those drinks are really good, so this gave me an excuse to buy a few. Win-win. The fact that I nearly chopped off my finger in the process will remain unmentioned.

Forecast

We all have it wrong. If you want to get married and have children you aren't supposed to find someone that you're madly in love with--just someone that you don't hate. I spent some time asking the experts (people that have been married for 20 years+) and that was the general consensus. Hollywood and the movie industry has made us believe that to have a successful marriage we have to find someone that sweeps us off our feet, but this is not the case. You're pretty much going to be talking about the children the majority of the time anyway, so just find someone that's considerate, kindhearted, and stable and you'll naturally come to love them for other reasons. Besides, Cinderella probably got a divorce after the movie because the prince picked up some other shoe, but they chose not to air it.

HOWEVER, if you do not want kids then the Hollywood stereotype semi-applies. Without children, the requirements for finding a marriage partner increase because you actually have to talk to one another. Personally, I don't think I can spend that much time with one person. No one is that interesting, I like to adventure, and I don't want kids. I have a lot of thoughts and not many people can keep up with my constantly running brain, but if by some miracle I find someone that I actually wouldn't mind being around for extended periods of time and they wanted kids, I would consider being a hormonal potato for nine months.

Fabaceous

You have to admit that it does kind of look like the real thing...

HAHA. I don't know how I missed this one, so cute. 我討厭你 by 宇宙人 is super catchy too (and quite fitting ahem). Actually, all of their stuff is good... but no one cares so I'm going to leave now.

Facinorous

I had to watch these little kids a while ago and I didn't know what to talk about, so I asked them if they liked watching Barney and Dora the Explorer because that's what my sister watched when she was younger (she's ~10 years younger). They didn't know what I was talking about and they told me that they like watching "Yogabagaba" which is actually spelled Yo Gabba Gabba (Google corrected my spelling because I'm uneducated). So yeah, apparently this is happening...

I'm not sure if I should be disturbed or amazed that they have a giant zucchini as one of the characters. Anyway, I was forced to watch an episode and it scared me. Interestingly enough, the primary focus of the child entertainment agency is no longer centered on colors and spelling. Instead, they are now teaching children to dance awkwardly and eat healthy foods. What this means is that our society is spiraling into an obesity pandemonium--if we weren't there already--and that children, instead of learning vocabulary, should focus on decreasing adipose tissue. I also need to decrease some adipose tissue before December or I'm never going to hear the end of it... I swear if I don't look like a malnourished twig they think I'm too fat.

Folivore

It's that time of the year when there are a bunch of seasonal lights going up outside. I think they're nice to look at, but ain't nobody got money to pay for electricity. My friend and I were driving around residential areas checking out houses and there was this one house that was completely decked out, "Woah look, they even have a flashing anatomical heart ornament! They must be surgeons." "Joanna... I'm pretty sure that's a snowflake..." Okay, my bad.

Burmese food tastes nearly identical to Thai food except for certain things like tea leaf salad (not pictured) where they literally mix flavored tea leaves into the salad. It was just alright... I like Thai food better. My friends and I have been hooked on this exotic food exploration yelp adventuring thing for a while. It's pretty fun, but my intestines aren't thrilled, that's for sure.

I'm trying very desperately to apply "out of sight, out of mind" to my life. There's no point in thinking about someone unless you're planning to talk to them. I wish I could speed up my emotional progression to the point in which I feel nothing--it's almost there.

I'm trying to a buy a stainless steel light switch and I came across this hilarious thing. I know, I'm like five, but you have to admit it's pretty funny. Whoever thought of this must have been a cleverly-perverted genius.

Figment

I guess people have been wondering what I've been up to these days, where I'm working and living, what I do in my spare time, who do I hang out with, etc. The answer to those questions is... I'm not going to reveal the majority of that online, but I will tell you guys that this happened a while ago...

That white wine is probably the only one that I'll ever like ...and yes, that is a picture of me shamelessly walking into a tasting room.

Frenzy

Running late, so I'll update when I get back tonight. Two articles to keep you guys entertained for now...

This just made me want to go to Alexander's Steak House... and this might be too cute, but you guys know how much I love those things, so... later!

Factual

The longer you don't think about someone the better they become in your memory because you haven't had to interact with them. Everyone is tolerable in small doses, but most people are better in the abstract. The reason why people hurt others is because they don't understand their pain. Most people don't intentionally inflict pain, but try to stay away from people that do--it's not healthy. There's a difference between giving up and knowing when to let go. The people that I've let go of... it's not that I don't like them because there are moments that still make me smile, but the amount of sadness they inflict is far greater than any happiness I've received, so there's no point. Instead, it's better to consider interactions with each of these individuals as an "era" because it's over already. There aren't that many people that I would consider timeless because there aren't that many people worth keeping around.

This is a good read. (at least read #16) I'm thinking about doing it soon... not for a whole year though, maybe just a couple of months. In the past I've always been able to connect better with people that are completely goal driven and desire prestige. Nowadays, I find that I'm drifting towards people that are open minded because they help me see things from different angles, which makes me a better person as a whole. After XYZ happened it altered my perspective and I realized that the things that I once thought were important/"the only way to success" are not that important after all and the definition of success itself is abstruse and transcendent. You can have a bunch of degrees and an account full of money, but then what? As humans we always want more. Prestige is not for yourself, it's to show off to other people. Would it matter if you received a M.D./Ph.D from Harvard if you had no one to tell? Stop rushing forward blindly and take a moment to think about what it is that you feel instead of focusing on what society expects us to become.

Femme fatale

If I could only choose one article of clothing to wear for the rest of my life I would choose to wear a blazer. Blazers can be worn casually and formally. If you were completely naked, but you had a blazer on people would probably just assume you were at a fancy tanning party or something. I wonder if that’s what people that wear naked aprons use to justify their attire. They probably think they’re chefs. (I don't think you guys understand what I had to sift through just to find that link) -_-

My biggest fear actualizing. Gross right? 

Fastidious

I was watching this drama that I thought was pretty good until it got annoying and the main character got locked in the freezer at her part-time job. I don't understand why this happens so often. At the rate these dramas are going they might as well start selling frozen humans next to the fish at the market. Also, the idiot girls never have reception inside the freezer, but I've actually tried this before and I had reception.. though I guess the real question is why did I lock myself in a freezer. Anyway, they should probably switch to Verizon... just saying.

I just thought these were funny so... take it or leave it, you have the right to disagree.

Freezing point

If I'm in a bad mood and it's sunny outside I get really irritated. I wonder if this makes sense to you guys. It's sort of like... if you're angry and someone tells you to smile you kind of want to punch them. Then again I kind of want to punch most people I meet, so I'm not sure how accurate this analogy is.

Montalvo hike :)

This type of sky would be perfect today, but my ideal is rain. I love rainy days. They make me happy as long as I don't have to go out because wet jeans are the worst.

Chilled

I took the ferry the other day. It was a complete waste of time and it was super cold, but at least it was pretty.

Crumbly heart

These are so cute :)

I need to get myself a Christopher Robin. I bet you guys were all thinking that I would want to get myself a Pooh. I am Pooh. We have the same figure and I frequently walk around without pants on.

I didn't think anyone felt as strongly about this as I do. He must have been mad while writing it. I've pretty much given up and expect everyone to be late because most people are rude and disrespectful so when people are on time my reaction is usually, "NO WAY IS THIS REAL LIFE?!"

Eh. I just noticed I'm posting too much Korean music again. I'll stop.

Cantatory

I don't really understand the purpose behind the color run. Click the link if you guys don't know what it is. Anyway, I think that running is difficult enough without people throwing things at you, so why anyone would pay to get bludgeoned is beyond me. Maybe the kinds of people that sign up for these things are masochists. Should I sign up? Psych. If anyone is interested, I only charge $5 so let me know if you would like me to throw things at you.

Every time I made a star I thought of you and it made me sad, but now that the jar is full I'm never going to think about you again. I never fully conceptualized this because now I have an unlucky jar. -_- I'm either going to have to give this to someone or burn the sh#t out of it.

Catch me

"In order for women to live easily in this world all they need to be is pretty/cute and stupid/air-headed." Unfortunately, this is true. However, I have studied too much and have had too many experiences to live without dignity. I refuse to have to rely on someone else's income in order to survive and will never suppress or withhold intelligence to do so. I also do not have enough money for plastic surgery, so that's that. I'll admit though that if I were incredibly desperate I would seduce the yakuza boss into marrying me, but it's not like I would be completely useless. I would either run the night club or count drug money. I would devote my life to being a mobster and get an enormous dragon tattoo on my back. Do you know how hardcore I would be?

I was planning on being miserable with my pulled shoulder muscle this weekend, but ended up having a lot of fun instead. I mean come on people, look at the size of this room. Of course nothing is ever fun unless you're with good company so... :)

Ahh, real life again tomorrow. I wish I could sleep forever... though would that mean that I'm in a vegetative state?

Like an idiot I tried to move my desk by myself and pulled my right shoulder muscle. Now I can't even pick my nose without grimacing in pain. I shouldn't be complaining as this is a byproduct of my intermittent stupidity. The sadder part is that I volunteered to help my friend paint this weekend. I guess that's not happening. The only thing I have to look forward to is going dryer shopping. Hooray! I actually really like appliances in general, but kitchen appliances are my favorite. :)

I was checking out at the grocery store yesterday when someone looked at me and said, "You look malnourished." I wasn't sure how to respond, so I just said thanks.

I'm always honest about the way I feel if it's a positive emotion. For example, if I like someone I'll say "I like you!" or some variation of "You're great!" However, if I don't like someone/what they're doing I'll choose to remain silent because it would take too much effort otherwise. Imagine going to work and entering the building "I don't like you, you're a horrible person" walk a bit more "You're rude and condescending" etc. by the time you reach your work space you'll be dehydrated and out of breath. Anyway, I'm just saying that if it's something good then you should let people know (even though it's embarrassing) or else they're never going to know.

Corpse

My recent obsession. Incredibly good coffee. I'm so happy it's Friday, but I should be doing work. Okay, later.

Cotton

I really don't understand why children like to play with furbies. They're so creepy. Maybe people assume that children like creepy dolls... What are these manufacturers thinking? During my childhood I remember I had a doll that was the same size as me and it walked and made strange laughing noises, but after the battery started running out it sounded like she was choking on something. It was one of those human simulating ones that would close their eyes if you positioned them horizontally on a flat surface. I also had some sort of black market barbie that didn't even look like a girl. Needless to say, they were incredibly creepy and I hated them. I decapitated the black market barbie and I stuffed the life size doll into the closet after wrapping her in a blanket. How traumatic.. for both me and the dolls probably.

Enjoy.

Circumvention

I've been doing a lot of thinking (per usual) and I find that I have all of this money saved "for the future," but I don't even know what exactly this future consists of. I'm not saying that I'm going to go around buying a bunch of cars or go T-Pain status "making it rain" on the rooftop of some secluded building, but I do think that it's time that I treat myself better. In fact, I think we all need to treat ourselves better in the present to broaden our perspectives and enhance our future prospects--that is, if you're not a horrible person. If you're a horrible person please isolate yourself in a dark corner and reflect on your wrongdoings. While you're at it you can also apologize to the people that have wasted time on you. I deserve an apology damn it...

I don't understand why anyone would do anything that they're going to have to apologize for. Just don't do it. People are always apologizing to me. For some reason I'm stupid enough to fall for it and forgive them only to have the cycle repeat itself. Or well, that's what my friend told me the other day, "I think you're always miserable because you forgive people so easily. They're not going to change because you just let it go. Everyone deserves a second chance, but you give people like 900." Well, what would you suggest I do? They're not going to change regardless. Real life example time...

A few months ago someone apologized to me for XYZ reason and wanted to meet up with me to catch up (after two years). I had previously concluded that this person was quite horrible. I shouldn't have said yes, but I did because I was hoping/curious that perhaps this person changed. When I met up with this person I thought, "Wow! They're completely different. They've really changed in a good way. I'm impressed." and so we continued to randomly hang out. After a while I realized that this person did not change at all it's just that they valued me more, so I was deceived into thinking otherwise. Does no one else see that this is the problem? Everyone is so busy chasing things that they think they want that they don't realize the importance of/appreciate the things that are right next to them until they disappear. Not going to lie--I'm guilty of constantly chasing things that I think I want, but there's no way I would let something important disappear. And so the lesson for today is: don't be a scumbag. It's harder than you think.

For some reason this reminded me of when my old housemate and I would go grocery shopping and it made me laugh. :)
