you're a wolf, boy.
This is a personal blog and I will write about pretty much anything. Mostly though, I'll write about music and literature, poke fun at TV shows and movies, post things from Youtube or other sites, and every now and again I'll wallow in my own self pity. So kick back, relax, and enjoy your stay.

i am here to humor you.

I don't know where else to post. I miss telling strangers about my life so, here goes:

I'm doing laundry because I have work in the morning. I've painted my nails, something I never do, to teach myself control. I tend to start chipping it off the moment it dries and my OCD compells me to bite at the skin around my fingernails which is gross considering your fingernails are the filthiest part of your body. I'm hoping the nailpolish will deter me from chewing on my fingers. Especially now since I've changed job codes. I worked at Wal Mart a little over a year in the Hardware department and just last week I was hired into the Vision Center as a Dispensing Optician. Luckily enough for me a license or certification is not required in the state of Missouri or Kansas to work as an Optician so all I have to do is find somewhere that is willing to take me in with no experience and train me. The WalMart Vision Center did that. I got a pay raise, I can dress nice, and my shifts are never earlier than 9AM or later than 8PM. I'm hoping to use this entry level training as an opportunity to make a good long term career out of this. My Dirty Filipino isn't too happy about my switch and tells me everytime he sees me but then he just gives me that impish grin and comments on how "fucking sexy" I look in professional attire.

Aside from that, nothing else is new. I write a lot still and read when I get the opportunity to. I spend a lot of time with my nieces and go out for a run when the weather allows. I've lost a ton of weight but it's mostly been the overworking in the Hardware department, stress, and terrible eating habits. When three toddlers are fighting for your attention at lunchtime it gets kind of hard to stuff your face.

That being said, I miss you guys and I'm sorry for being a selfish twit and only coming to theO when I want to talk about myself.

a brief update because i miss you guys even though you might not miss or remember me

I still work at WalMart. I'm still a Sales Associate there although the managers like to give me manager like duties. I've been working mornings with some of my favourite people there and have somehow managed to fall for this stupid Filipino with warm hands. Which is wrong. You're not supposed to fall in love with men who tell you dirty jokes all morning. I miss my evenings and I miss my smoke breaks with the cart pushers. But I have to admit, it is easier to read in the daytime in your car than in the evenings on a cold bench with a couple of loud kids. I'm currently reading One For the Money by Janet Evanovich which is incredibly funny, fast-paced, and intense. I've fallen in love with one of the main characters, Joseph Morelli. A gritty Italian with awesome muscles and a knack for making women get frisky. He also likes telling dirty jokes... I just. I can't.

Other than that, nothing else is new. I've been working a lot over the holiday season but, thankfully, the work is slowing down. At least until March when it'll pick up again. Oh! And I've fallen in love with alt-J, this awesome band from God knows where but who's music is awesome. I use that word too much, awesome. I need a new word... great? No, awesome will have to do. Seriously, their music's pretty damn good.

So, recommendations for 2013: Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum Novels, alt-J's music, men who tell dirty jokes, and really good coffee. Also, Dante Basco. He's recommendable too. If that's even a word.

I'll catch up with you all again and I hope you all had an enjoyable holiday season.

I just wanted to come on here and say that I miss being here but it would feel like a lie to be here given that I don't watch too much anime anymore. There's this 30-something-year-old guy that works overnights with me sometimes and honestly, he freaks me the fuck out because he has a shoe and foot fetish but anyways, he watches anime and I only noticed because he had an Eureka pin on his name badge and I was like, "Oh, you watch Eureka 7. What else do you watch?" And that was like opening Pandora's box and now he stalks me and I cry internally when I work late or externally to the cart pusher on our smoke breaks. But seriously, the point of this story was that he puts me to shame because he reads off all these names of voice actors and characters from Durarara! and a shit ton of others that I've never heard of and my long slumbering anime feels stir in me and I come home wanting to watch anime on Netflix but too tired to stay up too long.

I miss high school. It was easier to procrastinate and watch anime at odd hours of the night when all you had to worry about was a report due the next day instead of your cell phone or car payment.

Either way, nothing else is new. The air is freezing and I dislike it but then again, I should count my blessings seeing as people in the northeast are currently photographing sharks in their gardens courtesy of Hurricane Sandy. Can we please just--

Look at that big fucking NOPE on their highway.

That being said, good luck, East Coast.

Also, Aishia, I like your avatar. Blue was always my spirit animal and I miss that show terribly.
