Last time I switched journals, I was the one who chose who stayed on my list and who didn't. This time, I'm reversing it.

Oh, shit.

octoberagain & brokenroads: I could have sworn I sent you two the rest of the money for my domain hosting stuff, but I just found it burried underneath a pile of DVDs. I am so sorry. I'll drop it in the mailbox tomorrow on my way to work.

I hate my job so much.

I called in sick half an hour ago. And yes, I am actually sick. Not in the vomiting sense, but I can't stand upright without wobbling and nearly falling over. Never mind actually walking.

Anyway, so I called and talked to the manager. Explained.

"Fine, but I'm going to have to write you up for this."

AND THEN SHE HUNG UP ON ME.

Not only was that really fucking rude and unprofessional, it was also very confusing. What the shit am I being written up for? My mom thinks it's because I didn't give them enough warning. (I called at 12:30 and was supposed to start at 2.) Which, okay, would be fine and understandable if anyone had, oh, actually taken the time to tell me I had to give so much notice.

I am so fucking pissed off. Not because they're writing me up, I really don't give a shit. But because no one tells me what the rules are or how to do things, and then they get mad when I screw up. I'm sorry, but it's not my fault.

Auuuuuuuuugh!

Today I bought a DVD. Actually, I bought like seven. But the one I felt like sharing was Jekyll & Hyde: The Musical.

Starring David Hasselhoff.

Look at what Wal-Mart has done to me!

(I also bought The Age of Innocence even though it's like the most boring movie EVER. But squeeeeee, ten minutes of RSL!)

(I've also decided to make an "Arrested Development" moodtheme, because it's the greatest show on television and if you didn't already know that, then SHAME. ON. YOU.)

(Shatner owns.)

PERSON (NAME FORGOTTEN, OOPS): Jen, have you ever done sandwich table?
ME: Yeah, bu-
KEVIN: She has, but she really fucking sucks at it.

........

Seriously. I can't take much more of this shit. It's just... ugh! I was going to say that I had, yes, but not much so I probably wasn't the best person to do it while we were busy, but apparently I can't speak for myself.

Bastard.

So, happy holidays and all that jazz. Materialistically, mine were wonderful. I could have done without the sharp pain in my abdomen for the last three days, however. My mom thinks it might be either my appendix or my kidneys... charming. Der. I'll have to call the doctor in the morning and make an appointment to have it checked out, as I can barely stand upright (this will making working very difficult).

Anywho. Gifts! My mom went totally overboard and got me a TV, VCR and DVD player. For serious. She's insane, I think. So yes, that was the biggest chunk of my presents, along with the usual pjs, socks, DVDs and random little stocking things. I think one of the greatest things was this dancing mouse that sings "Ice Ice Baby". It's so cute.

Also, since both my mother and I are quite nuts, we got up at the crack of bloody dawn and went "bargin hunting". DVD remainder bins are wonderful things. Between gifts and my own spending, I am now the proud owner of the following DVDs:

- "Arrested Development" Season One
- "ALF" Season One
- Crossing the Bridge
- Shaking the Tree (Gale Hansen! <33)
- Before Sunrise
- Before Sunset
- Explorers
- Bubble Boy
- Ice Age
- Tapeheads
- National Lampoon's Last Resort (Coreys!! My mom is so awesome.)
- Party Monster
- Second Sight

Moviewhore? Me? Never...

Also, my bargin of the day was Delta Goodrem's "Innocent Eyes" CD for $13.44, very reasonable. Especially concidering I'd only ever seen it one other time for twice as much. Woo, go me.

And as a final note: "Arrested Development" is the greatest. show. ever. (Except for "Sports Night". But it's close, very close.)

Hrm. You know, I've always been really sensitive about my age. I've always felt older than I actually am, and I seem to project an older age to those who don't know any better. But I really, really hate when someone's opinion of me changes when they find out how old I am.

Case in point, i.e.: person who is driving me insane:

Rob. The Shatner Guy from a few posts back. He supposedly "liked" me (whatever the hell that really means, but that's another rant) after first meeting me, but he wasn't sure if he was going to "act upon" it because he'd just gone through a rather messy divorce. (Yeah. Divorce. :X) Which I can understand, really.

But he found out a couple weeks ago how old I was ("But... but... Ghostbusters is older than you are!") and apparently that kind of threw him for a loop. Tonight, when he was supposed to be bowling with us, he was off with his "new girl".

Fuck. Me. Okay, fine, so there's a ten year age difference (:X), but still. If he really liked me as much as he supposedly did/does, what the hell? Stupid bastard. (Alright, so other than this, he's great, which is probably why this is so fucking irritating.)

I'm jealous, I admit it. Which is pissing me off, as I don't like being jealous. But I am anyway.

The above quotes are from my mom's friend Amanda. Whatever.

Jeez, I sound so pathetic. Excuse me while I go bang my head against a wall.

... Boys have cooties.
