Kolizeon At High Speeds

I don't want to go back to school.

I am especially afraid of Drawing 1. It's supposed to be impossible. >.

Current Mood: scared

So I saw the Blackberry Pearl Flip. I have always secretly coveted the Blackberries but could never resign myself to such a large device. I value compact size and aesthetics too much. That brick just doesn't appeal to me.
The Pearl Flip, however, is decently compact (it's still a little large) and it has a nice keyboard. (Not that full qwerty crap.) So I mentioned that, hey, I might like to have that.
And the floor gates released!
My mother, my boyfriend, and my boss, after listening to me yammer about how I would never get a Blackberry because they are too ugly, was rooting for this idea. So on Black Friday I picked one up for $10 (and the $30 per mo. data charge).

Getting used to new equipment always frustrates me. I feel whiny for bitching over little stuff but it's very frustrating when I miss messages because I can't figure out how to make it ring, and similarly frustrating when I can't figure out how to make it *stop* ringing. I don't understand why I cannot put videos as backgrounds or a picture on the front display. Yes, maybe that is picky, but I'm an American damn it and I want my shinies!

Setting up my e-mail would seem easy but proves not to be. This was obviously a skillset constructed for people who already use POP3. I don't know why I have to read all my e-mail twice... The web browser is super fun.

I don't get this contacts thing. It takes *way* too long to send someone a message. Do I really need to choose "mobile" every time I want to txt them? I should be allowed to set it so it automatically assumes their default number, right? Only I can't figure out how. Also, why is it that when I type in a phone number it doesn't recognize the contact even though they are in my contacts?

Typing is easy enough but would be easier if they had left the buttons in order. The qwerty keyboard thing is really throwing me off because letters are not where I think they should be.

Speaking of typing:
I left my boyfriend's parents' house at around 9:30.
Him: Are you awake enough to drive?
Me: Yeah.
Him: Don't crash into anything.
Me: I'll try.
-five minutes later-
Him (on phone): Hello?
Me: I had a crash.
Him: No, you didn't.
Me: Yes, I did. ;_; Will you come?

Basically.
My phone rang.
I thought it might be him.
I tried to figure out how to get the phone where I could see why it was ringing. (I have yet to determine the meaning behind it's fifty different chimes.) When I looked up, there was a mailbox!
The mailbox went flying. The only damage to my car is the shattered windshield. Nothing else got bent or scratched or broken. And the only damage to me is my pride and my pocketbook.
Glass replacement is tomorrow. I can't wait to get to the gym today.

NaNoWriMo is done.

I'm a fat ass.

Thanksgiving is coming.

Leaving for the gym now.

Happy holidays everyone <3

Current Mood: FAT

Just. Drown me.

Does anyone else have a slight panic attack at 40k? It's like, oh wait, I've only got ten thousand words left to wrap up this mess!

I mean, I know you can go over 50k, but I tend to try to keep it between 50-60 k because... I just do. I guess I don't like writing really long books because I don't like reading really long books. The best books I've read have all been fairly short: The Last Unicorn, Count of Monte Cristo (ok, that was kinda long), the Great Gatsby, and Picture of Dorian Grey. Those are all great, short books. You know?

And. Gah! I've only got ten thousand words to wrap up this mess?!?

Current Mood: panic!

I feel terribly depressed without reason. I guess I'm just that pathetic.

The writing is going well, I guess. I feel like my character's interaction is very forced but yanno, it's a nano.

I wish I didn't get sick on a weekly basis. I mean seriously.

My throat hurts. I'm at work because rent sucks. And I want to go home and curl up in bed rather than go wait in the doctor's office when I get off work.
Sleepy sleep.

Current Mood: sick

Well, that whole "My computer works so now I will post more" thing didn't work out so much, did it? But I have a good excuse! NaNoWriMo!
(nanowrimo.org)
I'm currently at 17,550 words. Aiming for 18k by bedtime tonight. Looks like I might even make it!

I have my work terminal back and operating again!!!! Squee!!!

Current Mood: bouncy

So, I keep losing my memory. It would be cute/funny except that it happens sometimes when I am driving and I end up lost in the middle of NO WHERE. I have looked in to public transportation to/from work so I don't have to drive but that won't help me with the weekends and stuff. Besides, public transport is scary and will take an hour at least.

Annnnnyway. I really need it to be tomorrow. Really really need to get paid. The cat is hungry.

Current Mood: anxious

So my computer is dead. Boom. Coffin. Daisies. Fall down, not gettin' back up. Ding dong the witch is...

You get the idea.
Sorry I haven't posted.

I am losing my faith in technology a little bit more every freakin' day.

Ran a check disk, used a PE builder to try and rescue the data. I could see my files but I couldn't get them. Now I know how my cat feels in front of the aquarium.

Anyway, alles schit.

It's been raining non-stop for like a week.

Sooooo....


I accidentally turned off the fire alarm at work.

Yeah, you bet that went over well.


:(

Current Mood: in trouble

So Thursday I was so sick. I left work and went straight to the doctor. As soon as I told the receptionist "I think I have the flu" I was whisked away, disinfected, masked, and returned to the waiting room.
Everyone else went and sat on the other side.
o.O;

My H1N1 test came up negative and I was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection, given some syrup, and sent home.

This syrup stuff is the bomb. It totally kills your ability to move. It doesn't actually make you sleep. My mind is still quite awake and even slightly petrified by my catatonic state but after a while it becomes sort of fun. You're just dead. But still alive.

Very cool. I could use this for a story, I think...

Current Mood: calm

It's FALL!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm very pleased.

I drove up to the apple orchard on Saturday. Ran around and ate two apples. One was freakin' delicious but I was too ADD to find out which kind it had been. Oh well.

While I was there some old guy came up to me and asked, "How old are you?" I replied, "Twenty." He continued, "Do you want to have kids?" And then I was aware that we was touching me, sort of leaning on me. I am not really a people person and it took me way too long to figure out that this was a turn-and-walk-away situation. "Eventually," I replied, and then I sort of wake up again and took off, ran back to the main building (where there are crowds) and just sort of stayed around there for a while. Drove home.

People are freaky. No wonder I dislike them.

But the weather was glorious!! I've been coughing, seeming to get worse, feeling rattly in my chest, so I went home and slept. And that was pretty much the rest of my weekend, actually. Sleeping. I wish I'd spent more time outside since the weather was so nice but I was just. so. tired...

Ok, so, my boss wants to kill rats.
The night watchman wants a dog to bark.
I want something to do.

Add craigslist into the mix and we get Ally, a rat terrier. Since I'm the only person here who had time and some experience training dogs I am supposed to be teaching her.
It's more than just a little irritating. Hopefully she will start to catch on soon...

Seal me up in a cloth box, starched itchy, and throw away the key.

Ok. I may need to get a Kindle.

Men are stupid.

My boss brought my a Wendy's Frostie today. It made me so angry. 320 calories I didn't need or want but I felt pressured to eat it because it was purchased as a gift. -_- Why can't people just leave me alone???
