WTF?!!? Our society keeps getting weaker and weaker. Why can't you fucking carve your pumkins? Why must you glue shit to it to make it look... "scary?"
Seriously! I am like the grumpy grandpa!

I am so mad at the way things are. I am such a failure. My inability to stick with a job and my ability to burn bridges are going to end up ruining me in the end.
I am applying to JET. Yes, I know, lame. But it's what I want. The application process is worse than trying to get into a super special University!! And why shouldn't it be? They are setting you up with a visa for a year, paying you, housing you, and allowing you to teach in Japan.
And yet, the only person to blame for my not being accepted, is me. I could be pissed that I only have one person willing to write a letter of recommendation. And that one person barely passes as a professional reference, since he is more my friend than he was my boss. No, that's where my love of burning bridges comes in. I had to alienate everyone that could give me a professional or academic recommendation!!
If that's not enough. My unstable job history is going to play a big part. I haven't been able to hold onto a job for more than three months since I graduated!!
We could blame my career for that... oh wait! What career?!
Yet, I plan on attempting to submit my application this November for a shot at the one thing that can bail me out of this slump I'm in. I truly believe that too. What else would I do? If I don't get in, it's off to Texas where I start at ground zero and attempt to work for Funimation. Like every one else.
Our society claims to be so mellow and so forgiving... or maybe that's my interpretation. But you stick one misguided girl in the mix... watch her make a few mistakes and her life is ruined.
I just hope I get my second wind and am able to pull myself out of this fucking mess.

I met a boy at NDK last Sunday. He had left his group of friends because they were doing things he did not agree with and were hanging out with some guy he did not like. So he wandered over to the Sera Myu panel where Aaron and I were awaiting fun and entertainment. Unfortunately, the panel never happened because the speaker was never informed! Fortunately, we all got to talking and the poor boy told me what was up.
Aaron and I adopted him for the day and we went to all over the convention with him. When it was time to go home, I was retarded and did not ask him number or anything!
I saw him yesterday at an anime store in Lakewood! Weird!!! Right? So we exchanged information and life was super cool.
Now, I knew he frequented this store and lived in the area. However, is it fate that I saw him again?

I work in an office full of beauitful women. They are pretty much the same kind, the kind that love other women and are super girlie, but REALLY love their men. The talk is mostly about boys and sex and clothes.
They are the kind of girls that tend to be lost in life, much like me. However, when they ask for advice, I go in the completely wrong direction. Then they stare at me like I just said the stupidest comment ever!
I have come to expect that from everyone now, for some reason. Like I am an idiot. It has been hard to interject and that's odd for me.
I wrote some dumb comments on the Sailormoonfans posts and I found it hard to look at the responses. They were so warm and equally dorky... it felt good. I am lost. I am looking for a "home." I found one with the other nerdy nerds.

So! After much consideration, which is code for spur of the moment thinking, I have decided to get rid of my myspace and stick only with LJ and facebook. I promise to write more too! :P and make it semi-interesting... so ... with exception to this post of course.
Anyway.. expect more..!! Or less... no, more!!!

As seen on MySpace.
So tonight is my first graveyard shift. Unfortunately, they took internet away from us. There will probably be solid hours of sheer boredom, but I don't care. I won't care... at least, right now I do not care.
I got my Nintendo DS Lite in the mail the other day, thank you Comcast! I love it. It's all white and cute. I have Animal Crossing and FF III! I love both games! I love old school Final Fantasy! So exciting. Aaron and I cannot wait to finish VIII!
Valentine's Day was nice. I had the day off. Aaron and I were robbed online though :( He was trying to buy me manga.. the whole Snow Drop series and he found it for super cheap. The site glitched twice and took over $400 out of our account. What he was buying me was about $30. So they were way off, even if it charged twice. So he went somewhere else, got the same price, and then checked our account online and saw the HUGE mistake. Poor guy... poor us. But it looks like we'll get our money back.
I get paid today! Yay!
My mom is in Florida. It's snowing again. I almost got in a car accident the other night when it was ice/snow. It was supposed to be 50 today! Oh well.
I feel content and I think it's because I have my job. A job I am good at and love doing. I can travel with my job. I can move up real fast. I have met great people. There are only two people that miff me and one is being transferred and one means well and either way, I will never work with them. I love the other night auditors. They are all crazy.
But it's a trade up... I will be asleep when most people are awake and vice versa. Oh well.. each day as it comes.
I love gray days... even with a side of snow.

It finally stopped snowing! Aaron and I dug my car out since we have to drive up to Breckenridge early tomorrow morning. It works and everything! I took pictures with my phone.
( In case you're interested )
We weren't prepared so we had to use our kitchen trash can and a plastic drawer organizer. I left my brush and ice chipper in the car so we had to dig our way to the doors. So to fix everything, we're stealing one of my mom's shovels. She has two!

The movie now has a huge production meeting coming. We are shooting August 28th to September 8th. It still has not been approved yet. But it will be shown regardless.
Birds are FINALLY eating at the bird feeder I put up in spring. Ferio is thrilled!!! He spends all his time next to the living room window. LOL.
My upstairs neighbor seems nice. I am starting to think that she is obsessed with music. She plays the piano in the morning, the flute at noon, and something that involves chimes at night. At least it's not like Makoto's upstairs roommates that play drums ALL afternoon and jam on their guitars till right before sound laws need to be obeyed (midnight.)

Soooo... Aaron is shooting/working on his movie non-stop starting now. I will only see him tomorrow during the time that I have to shoot. That's about it until Wednesday. That's when the movie has to premiere in the senior project show case.
Anyway, so I have three days where I have to entertain myself. Starting now. And believe me, I have plenty of work to do as well... sort of ... yeah. Like a house to clean, laundry to do, and I could probably stand to work on my production design final.
However the lazy monster has burned my back and thus made me too tired to do anything. So tired that I am ending this entry now.
