Agh... eight solid hours of being on my feet today has left me terribly tired... I worked 10am to 6pm today and tomorrow I work 8am to 4pm. I prefer the earlier shifts, honestly. :)
But, the day had its ups and downs... mostly downs, but eh... where to start? Ummm... *points randomly at the day* OKAY! The morning!
So, I started my shift at 10am. And, they had me at front register. And, as you may know, McDonald's doesn't change to the lunch menu until 11am. Well, I did NOT know the breakfast menu very good. So... after making a mistake, I let a manager fix it and then, I did okay. Once I knew where to find "hot cakes" and "Sausage patty" things went well.
Then, around 11, I decided the dishes in back needed to be done. However, I did NOT know it would take me THREE HOURS to do them all! @_@ But, they got done. But, this is where the weird stuff starts to happen.
In the course of those three hours, one of the other guys (I can't remember his name for the life of me) kept checking in on me. I thought, "Oh, well, he's polite. I guess he just doesn't want me to collapse from heat exhaustion back here," because, it IS very hot and steamy- almost like a spa! :D
Well, towards the end, he came in, "Hey, I heard you had diabetes, you feeling alright?"
'Guh... of course... one of THOSE guys who thinks the diabetes is like cancer...' I thought to myself. I replied, "Yeah, I'm fine! Thanks for asking! Just finishing up these last [items]."
Then, he kinda did this weird chuckle-type laugh, "Yeah. We really appreciate that. None of us really like to do it." To which I said something like, "Yeah, I'm a total germaphobe and dirty dishes are a real pet-peeve to me."
Then, he said, "Aww... Cute!"
Awkward silence followed... finally, I muttered, "'Cute'?"
And he says this with the weirdest smile (no joke, it reminded me of Gin from Bleach), "Yeah. You're all wet from the faucet ('cause that damn thing makes it near-impossible to stay dry while working there), and I just found that cute. That, and your weird germaphobia..."
I was ready to tear my hair out! Why do I always get the weird ones?!?! TToTT I don't like men that way!! Why can't I just get a normal girl?! *kicks himself for letting the best one get away*...
Since then, I've told the guy something like, "Look, I dunno what you're into, but I respect that and all, but... I'm only interested in girls. Still, we can be friends, if you'd like." He shrugged, grinned, "Sure," and that was that.
Thank god for making this one easy.
Then, there was an old man that came in and I took the order for. He moved REALLY slow and it was obviously a chore for him. He asked me to reach into his shirt-pocket for his wallet- which I did and handed it to him. He paid me and then, asked if I could help him get his drink. I said I could since he QUITE obviously needed a lot of help. I'm serious, this guy moved like a turtle. So, I got him his drink and helped him to his table. Then, asked me if I could deliver him his food when it came up. I agreed and did so. And, all through this, he kept winking at me!! DX WHAT THE HELL, MAN?
Of course, Tom says old guys just do that. Which, I guess I'm alright with. He left in due time.
I also asked Angelo about all this and he said, "Well, you are rather feminine for being a guy, Yoh..."
Of course.
Why not?
Yosei's feminine...
UGH! DX
*stews in corner of self-woe*
Oh, well. I'll live. The World continues to spin and Time flows on. And, I'll go back tomorrow.
OMIGAWD, THOUGH! Here's the GOOD NEWS from the day!
- I'm getting wireless internet on Friday!!!
- I discovered McDonald's 'Fruit 'n' Yogurt' parfaits!!! DELICIOUS!
- Angelo may be getting a job at there with me!!! YAY! I'll have my best friend with me!!! XD He has orientation next week. :D
So, again, sorry about the long post. I tend to do a lot of those, huh? :P
Have a great weekend for me, guys! I-HAVE-TO-PEE-LIKE-A-RACEHORSE-NOW!!! >.<
+~Yosei~+
Hey, guys~! It's been a few days, hasn't it? I've just been so busy! Although, I have been able to get on here a couple times to check everyone's fanart and whatnot. Nice stuff, BTW!
Well, yesterday was my dad's 40th birthday. And I didn't get to celebrate with him or anyone else. TT^TT He slept in uber late, and I didn't want to wake him (He just got back from a leave for military training and only got maybe 4 hours of sleep a night for three weeks straight). So, I went to town to pick up more insulin- which nearly broke me when I saw the price tag on it! Normally, my mother coos at me that she'll buy it. I never knew how much she paid for it, though! My birthday present to my dad was paying the $50 for my insulin, instead of it coming out of his and mom's bank account... >_> I hope it was enough for a little while. ^_^; Guess I'll be eating more meats and cheeses for awhile.
Then, I ate lunch at the high school. Seniors only have two weeks left and Tom says he gets lonely at lunch. So, I visit him whenever I can. I think he appreciates it.
Saw Niko-chan too! Strangely enough... I realize I still love her, but I'm not in love with her anymore... she's more like a little sister I feel the need to protect, y'know? I'm just glad she's happy with Tom-san. :D
Then, I got home and my Uncle was here visiting my dad for his b-day (They're brothers). So we sat around and chatted for a little while. Not much there.
Afterwards, around 2:30, I had to leave for work. Thursdays, I work eight hours at the movie store. Normally I start at 1pm and go 'til 9pm, but they made me start at 3pm yesterday. =_= And, it was DULL! They had us all re-packing the movies to save space and whatnot and I really didn't enjoy it. It was monotonous and tedious and didn't take much brain power. THAT meant it left my mind free to wander and settle on things that depressed me... I won't get into that, but by the end of the night, I was sad and angry and had no reasons for it. So, I "stole" a diet orange soda to help ease my emotions. I didn't really steal it, I just wrote it on my employee tab instead of paying for it right away. It was only $1.00 anyway.
Then, I got home at 9:30, showered, read some more of The Name of The Wind, and fell asleep. Wherein I had strange dreams all night...
The night before, I had a dream I was being attacked by a possessed doll and when I woke up, I couldn't move! The doll was there in my room! AAAAH! Of course, I was just a victim of sleep-paralysis and my mind was making me think the doll had me in a vice-grip. I started trying to scream in my sleep but, it was that kind of scream that gets stuck in the back of your throat and you can't push it forward, so it sounds like a strangled whine, y'know? Eventually, my body woke up and I was screaming bloody murder at the top of my lungs. Oddly enough, none of my family members came running and, when I asked, no one remembered hearing me scream... o_O
So, I did all I could to set up barriers around my room last night. Sometimes, sleep-paralysis is a by-product of a demon trying to eat your soul and they do it through nightmares! Or ghosts... I've heard some religions think SP is because of ghosts... but, last I checked, there were no ghosts in my house... although there is a portal for demons in the basement of a house down the street. I know this because, I was friends with a guy that lived there 'til I found out he was a Satanist. He told me some things, told me where the portal was (WORST. EXPERIENCE. OF MY. LIFE!!!), and asked if I was interested in joining. I said, "HELL NO! I'm sticking with The Light and I'm going to now focus on THIS HOUSE!"
So... I've been trying to get rid of him and that portal for... two years now? And, he sics his minions on me... once every couple months? Stupid game of Tug-o'- War if you ask me...
Aaaaaand, I'm rambling now...
Aaaaaand, I probably just scared a few of you...
I'm sorry... sometimes, my beliefs get out of my mouth before my brain stops them... or my fingers... *stares in disbelief at keyboard*
I'm still going to kill the demon that tried to eat my soul the other night, though... o____o F*cking B*stard... pardonez mon francais...
Well, I should say farewell for now... sorry for the post being SO long. ^_^; I apologize.
Thanks for reading! If you made it this far without cracking, I owe you this imaginary cookie! :D
Lol, see you 'round, guys. Keep Otaku-ing.
+~Yosei~+
Is House MD over... and complete?
I watched last night's new episode with Tom and at the end, we were both like, "Is that the end, then?"
I'm so sad... I don't have any shows to keep me going week to week now. I've quit Bleach and Naruto (let's face it, the fillers are EXCRUCIATING) and Ghost Hunters' new season just ended too. On top of that, my internet's being a b*tch and so I can't watch FMA:Brotherhood on a regular basis like I'd like to. But, hopefully, I'll get internet soon and will catch up.
Either way, I haven't got much to look forward to after work now... Guess I'll have to find another weekly thing to help. TT^TT
On a better note, Tom lent me his favorite book The Name of the Wind. I've only read chapter one, but it's already SUPER INTRIGUING~! Go! Read it now! The author is a practicing Alchemist (I only STUDY alchemy- I don't practice it, so that's interesting) and this is his first book. He plans to publish the continuation of this one, but it didn't come out when it was supposed to (last month) and now the new release date is in 2025. I'm not kidding... 2025... =_= I will have to wait... and Tom says this book ends with the worst cliffhanger... V_V'
Oh, well. It will help.
I also bought Vol 3 of 07-Ghost manga yesterday~! :D I'm only half-way through it as I was interrupted and haven't gotten back to reading it. ^__^ I'll finish that today.
I'm also hoping to watch the second disc of D.Gray-Man DVD set today. ^_______^
Thank god I have today off. I'm gonna use it to my advantage. Especially since my dad comes back home today... he's a pain in the ass to me... so... yeah... ANYHOO~! I'd better get going. Have a great week, guys! Thanks for readin!

Edit:
DX I'm such a retard!!!
I ate some raspberries and now I have a tummyache. TTnTT I love the taste of raspberries and they looked so enticing in the 'fridge, but... they give me awful tummy aches! DX
It's no fair... I think I'll go sleep it off now.
Thanks for your concern. Talk to you all later.
*~Yosei~*
Agh... finally! I get the next two days off! My feet ACHE! I don't get to sit much at this job and it's not like my shoes are super comfortable. But, I shouldn't complain. It's a job, nonetheless.
*sigh*
Not much to say. They've got me doing the most mundane and boring jobs. I work the first window in drive-thru, which is basically just collecting, counting and exchanging money... then, I did dishes for a few hours. Those few hours happened to be during a down-time too, so while I was working in a hot, steamy room, everyone else was running around and goofing off waiting for another order to come in. TT^TT Oh, well. It's over and done now.
I prefer front counter. At least I get to be around people.
My grandparents swung into town to visit today. That was a nice thing. We went to Barnes & Noble, where I bought vol. 13 of D.Gray-Man manga... I'm still working on the anime. It's pretty good so far.
Then we had Wendy's for dinner and I'm here now. I'm incredibly exhausted and just want to sleep now.
Thanks for reading, guys! I'm terribly dull nowadays so the fact that you keep coming back just shows me how much of a true friend you are. I thank you personally. ^_^
G'night.
~Yosei~
Oh... my aching feet! >.< I need a nice long, hot, bubbly bath. :)
I worked for eight hours straight today and sat down for about 20 minutes of that... TT^TT And, I work that long again tomorrow, but at an earlier time. Oh, well. At least an earlier start time means an earlier end time, then two days off. So... it's all good. ^_^
I'm craving ice-cream right now, though.
OMIGAWSH! I want to send a shoutout to the FOUR new subscribers I gained today! I don't know who you are, but THANK YOU!!! You made my day so much brighter!!
*sigh* Not much going on, other than the last few days of straight work. My last day off to myself was Tuesday... my next day off is this Monday... I'm saving that day for myself, dammit! >_<
I'm going to finish D.Gray-Man (which has grown on me considerably. I thought Funimation had ruined it, but... it's alright now.). OMIGAWD! I didn't even know the Akuma Clown in Episode 3 and 4 was VIC MIGNOGNA!!! O_O And Toma was MIKE MCFARLAND?!?! I knew Travis was Kanda, but JEEZE! I need to be watching more anime, apparently. I'm also incredibly anxious for Lavi's arrival (he's mah fave :3) but, I dunno if he shows up in the first DVD set (don't tell me if he does! I wanna find out when I watch 'em!!).
I think I'll also do A LOT more drawings... maybe get started on some requests that I've promised some people. I'm kind of trying to wait a little bit on those requests, tho'... See, I'm going to need some art to work on once June comes. A friend of mine is leaving for a month to spend time in France in an Exchange Program and that's going to depress me. And, if I'm depressed, I SUCK at thinking of something to draw. So, I'm saving those... ;>_>
Anyhoo, not much else to report.
Hope your weekend is going better than mine. ^_^
