| No MFF for me :3 |
[Nov. 5th, 2009|10:27 pm] |
Hey ya'all. I figured I'd give anyone who I might have mentioned that I'd be at MFF a heads up that I won't likely be there. Some stuff came up regarding a few things. For starters the hotel that we (well Royce) booked ended up pulling some assdouchery and they wanted almost twice as much a night, for one less bed. :P Secondly Kit (roomie) found out he has to work mandatory overtime Friday nights (again) til Christmas. So yeah, even if we WERE to go it'd have been for like...5ish hours Saturday evening...and seriously driving longer than what would be spent there is kinda silly.
Honestly tho I think I wouldn't have gotten the time off scheduled ANYWAY. I talked to my bosses today and they said the possibility of having their head cart runner/bagger take off the whole weekend before Thanksgiving was not possible. Now mind you YES they'd have probably worked with me, but going through the hassle of it all is just not worth it. So yeah ya'all going to MFF, do have some fun for me. ^_^
Anyway in other life things it's just been a steady rotation of things. I work, I eat, I sleep, I repeat. Honestly things are going fairly well...finances are back to doable ranges. Mom still owes me $100 from that gambling fiasco but should pay me back very soon. Work has had me stressed as of late...but some of that stems from lack of decent sleep. A while ago I got a full size bed thanks to some friends. The bed, however, is rather soft and is causing me some issues with my back. I may just revert back to the twin that was much firmer...
Art is...stagnant. I was really hoping to make headway and whatnot with some new stuff but lately I try to draw and nothing comes to mind. It's like there's a lock on my brain for creativity. Perhaps I just need to not care what I draw or how it looks, and just do it. With this weekend not needing me at work, I may force myself down and doodle.
Of course some of the things going on may be due to minor depression. I've had this lingering loneliness and a lack of friends lately. It seems I say hi to most everyone online and they just kinda shun me and don't want to talk. It's frustrating on so many levels because all I need is that friend to talk to who will listen to me. Even if we shoot the shit about stupid stuff, at least it's someone ya know?
Anyway getting to be bedtime, one more day of work for the week! TGI(a)F! |

This has been a pretty shitty weekend thus far. >> So basically my mom and stepdad are on their yearly week vacation for mom's birthday and their wedding anniversary. Well they showed up in town on the last leg of their vacation and picked me up from work. The original plan was we'd hang out, they'd see the new apartment, we'd all go over to the casino where they were to pay me 50 bucks as a treat to gamble a little bit.
I'm now out $200+ dollars than what I expected. >__<
Let me explain:
Mom send me a text that they were playing at a casino down in Milwaukee and were breaking even. I figured all was well, okay they're doing their usual casino gambling whirl tour they always do. Appearently mom tried to send me this massive text of like way too many words explaining they busted and needed to borrow money from me to actually DO the casino thing. According to them I agreed and it was good. However, mom deletes all her texts cuz I don't fuckin know.
I got a text laughing about her age and how I teased her and I retailiated with a yeaaah suuure! Well she assumed that was in accordance to the borrowing of the money. So they get into town Friday night, go home, change and go out to dinner. They paid which should have been one of my big oh noes...they can never afford to treat. My mom and stepdad are ghetto poor. Their newest car is '94 and oldest is '81, and they smoke sooo much it costs a ton...plus they both have gambling issues. My mom not so much but stepdad is real bad...mom is a follower tho.
ANYWAY we hop in the car at 11:30pm Friday night and head up to the casino. We walk into the casino and they sit down and say "Well okay it's up to you now!" I'm perplexed and mom gives me the song of this lost text and how they were gonna borrow $200 bucks and would pay me back. Well we're already there and obviously stepdad was pouty cuz of his addiction so I just took it out of savings. >> This plummets my savings below $200 bucks and yeah...they played way too long and ended up losing ALL their/my money. >> We got home at 5 AM Saturday morning, slept four hours and cuz they were broke and had nothing else to do they up and left by about noon.
So yeah...I'm really pissed. I'm gonna have to slide by til 2 weeks from Friday. -.- I'm giving up gambling ever again as well...and I'm serious gonna wait for my money from my mom and stepdad and honestly not deal with them anymore much at all. This was an utter dick move and it's just...GRR. I've been thinking it was more of a ploy for them to have their fun and not care. :/
Sorry, I'm just not in a good mood now. |

So yesh...it's been a little while since I actually sat down and typed up an LJ post. The last one I did that was in all serousness was the Siege bitching out....which made me feel much better. ;) Anyway let's just dive in head first and see where it takes us.
( Cut for length, will you read on? )
Well there's really not much else to yap about. Things are good and I'm rather happy with stuff. I'm working as hard as hard can be, getting back into the swing of things at work. Random body aches suck, but tho I look at the tummy roll in the mirror I do have to realize I'm in the best shape of my life. :) I should do research about any good ways to remove belly fat. xD Anyway I gotta get dressed and head out to work. ;) Take care everyone!

| What I hate about Siege |

Yep, it's been on my mind recently...Siege. The guy who opened his house to me when I was in a time of need. As thoughtful as that may have been, it turned out it was for a much more devious thing. I've kept this pent up for long enough and it's about time to get it out and off my chest. You can have your own feelings on the matter. Like me or hate me from it, either way I don't care. If you're curious enough to read on, you've been warned...
( Lots of ranting ahead... )
So to sum it up: If you ever see, meet, or come across Siege or any of his character ripoffs, turn tail and head the other way. You'll save yourself a lot of EVERYTHING in the long run |

So yeah go me! ^_^ Of course it'd be awesome to nab some commissions, give me a lil extra cash...(Hint hint). ;) |

| Felix's Visit 09 Week 2 Recap |

| | dirty | ] |
So yeah, another week has gone by in the wonderfully wonderful visit of my mate ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) felixpath so I felt it was time to recap! :D
So I worked last Wednesday and Thursday...you know gotta pay the bills and such. It was always hard waking up and going to work leaving my batty here alone...but he always got so much done and made me dinner and treated me like a kingfox. :3 He made a batch of his yummylicious chicken wings, and I've made a nummy stirfry a few times. ^_^ On Friday I had off so I decided we'd take the day to go shopping and explore Appleton. ^^ Much fun was had as we both bought random goodness for ourselves and ate yummy food, accumulating with HuHot. :D I dunno what it is but that place has some awesome foodness. ;3 Perhaps it's the fact that you're your own chef! ;D
Saturday rolled around and I attended a local furmeet that included mini golf and a movie. The batty opted out to not come along, so he could get some stuff done for the visit-to-be. ^^ The visitor was focswulfe_light, and the folfy stayed from Saturday eve up through Monday afternoon. ^^ We had lots of fun too, from awesome foods and conversation to mini golf, games and movies. ^^ (As well as other stuff that is of a different nature hehe). ^-^ Nonetheless we had a super awesome blast and we hope that we can see him again sometime...in my case sooner than 2 in a half years! XD Also we've been taking various photos and slowly but surely are compiling them into some groups to try and share with friends. :)
After the folf left Monday we just hung out and enjoyed one another more, and I went back to work on Tuesday. x3 Tho Tuesday night we hung out with Kit and had KFC, afterwords that night the bat had a very bad upset tummy and let's just say made a never-fun bathroom run...I too was not feeling all that great and called in today (Wednesday)...which was nice to just spend another day at home lazing and feeling better with my bat. :D
So yeah, not much else to report, hope to have more art to share sometime soon! :D Til laters ya'all :D

Mmmm the wonders of having a fruitbat to wake up to every morning is so awesome. :D So yesh, I figured I'd give a nice post on how the week has been!
Last Wednesday Kit and I took a trip down to the airport to greet the batty...it was raining out and stormy in Chicago so naturally they were a lil late. But thankfully he got here in one piece, luggage and all! :D We headed home and it wasn't long before we were happily loving one another up, reminicing about good times. :3 I had taken off Wed on last week, so I could spend time of him. Much fun was had with video games, art, good food and extra curricular activites. ;D I won't go into much detail about those cuz well hey, you probably don't wanna know. ;3
This week I had worked Monday through Thursday, which I mean hey it's a nessisary evil and you gotta pay the bills. But every night I had the batty to come home to, which was awesome. :D He'd give me the TLC I needed to wind down on a hard day. ^.^ And of course he's helped me stay motivated to draw, whipping out a bunch of arts for him!
Also I took him ala bus tour of some key stuff around Appleton I wanted him to see, did some shopping with him. :D Of course the accumulation to all that was going and having a nice meal at HuHot. If you've never gone to one, I really advise you do. It. Is. Awesome. :3 And tomorrow there's a local furmeet going on with mini golf, a movie and munchies thereafter. ;D As well as a good furry pal of ours is gonna come up and spend memorial day weekend here. ;D
So yeah overall it's been great. :D I'd go into more details but mmmm food comatose. :D |

I got picked up from work today by my bud Ted and Kit was over at my place. He was gonna use my computer. Dunno what exactly happened but it wasn't working at all. XD Soooo I decided that it was just time to treat myself to something. SOOO I whipped out 350 bucks, went to Wal Mart and bought a new computer. XD It's just an eMachine, really simple and easy to use and so far it does everything I want it to do XD
I'll play around with it more this weekend, try my scanner out. It's got Vista so I'm not totally sure if it will work...but hey stay tuned. ;D I'll keep you all informed. :D |

1) Roomie is gone, finally I can have my apartment back. It had its ups and downs but yeah, I needed to be alone again.
2) Sounds like all I will get is a warning and it will go into my work file from the incident discussed in my last 2 journals. IF she decides to go to the store owner I might get something a tad more firmer, but not likely more than at worst 1 day suspension. A slap on the wrist really since I've had a flawless track record, and I am one of the tops when it comes to customer service at our store. :3
So yeah today rocks! ^_^ |

Let me set the scene for you all. It's 11:40ish this morning. I'm on register 8 bagging orders. An older woman with a walker comes up with an order. The cart she has is behind her, with who I assume is her daughter. The groceries come down the belt, so I bag them how we were taught: canned goods, boxes, dried goods in paper, cold and wet stuff, meat and so on in plastic. I still don't have the cart in my possession so I set all the items on the other side of the belt and proceed. When the "first" order is almost done the younger lady (still in her 50s or so) comes down and whispers to me "Hey can you give me plastic?" to which I assume is the next order.
The elderly lady with the walker moves ahead after it's all paid for and the next order comes down, just two or three items. Toss them in a plastic bag, put everything into the cart I have access to and good to go right?
WELL, appearently she wanted me to initially put the ENTIRE order in plastic, cuz of some nonsense. She comes storming down cursing and swearing. "I hate this fucking store. Customer service my ass, fuck this store." When I asked if there was a problem, she said "I TOLD YOU TO PUT IT ALL IN PLASTIC!!!" and proceeds to rip things out of the paper bags and throw it in plastic on the other side of my work area. She's getting very loud and beligierent at this point. I try to stay calm and say "Well I'm sorry ma'am I didn't realize. I had the order done already. If you would have told me sooner..." and she's going apeshit on me while I'm working on the next order. At this point she wads up the paper bags and throws it at me. I'm twitching at this point and just am so frustrated. Finally I snapped and said:
"Why don't you shop at Copps!?" (Which is one of our local competitors.
She was pretty pissed, stormed off, came back in 5 minutes and was waving at me and shouting as the manager talked to her. 15 minutes after I was called into the manager's office. Tomorrow I have a meeting with him, the head of the store and the head of my department. I will keep you all informed on how that goes. I was told something of this sort is a termination offense so we shall see...
Stay tuned! |

| Clearing my mind of things |
[Mar. 24th, 2009|01:27 pm] |
I don't tend to make very large or detailed posts, but I thought it was time to kinda just clear my mind of all the thoughts and opinions of things and people. No cuts, no holds barred.
Personally I have some awesome friends, I don't deny that. Online and in a personal reality sense my friends are always very cool. Lately, however, I try to talk to them and they are either always moody or don't want to talk. I've even gotten to the point of blocking or just deleting contacts on my messengers cuz they're always in a sour mood. (Sorry Susi, but I'll start talking with you again to clear the air). Most of the time I sit online with no one even concidering messaging me or saying hi...to be honest it's rather annoying and depressing to have to always message others. Just...say hi to me sometimes okay? My problem is lately I get TOO bouncy and clingy and stuff...
My home life has well, in a nutshell, been a headache and a half. I invited Jouva to live with me about 6 months ago...and I knew from the onset it wasn't gonna work out. I made him breakfast in bed-a sign to say welcome to Wisconsin, have some hospitality. He didn't get up or want it cuz "He didn't like that stuff". His stuff has been clustering around the living room and his habits drive me nuts. No one's perfect I understand that, but when I've spoken SO many times, you have to start getting the hint and grow up. Oh well, he'll be moved out in a week so I should be able to relax and regain my home and sanity...for a little while.
Siege had sent me a note about 2 months ago wanting to bury the hatchet. Kinda awkward...he still erks me over some of the things he did and still tries to act like it was my fault. I guess some people you just can't change. Oh well, life moves on there and I've let it go...even if I warn others occasionally of his habits. That is if I'm asked about him first. :P
Ted and Adan (AKA Kitwolf), two of my good friends of this local area always manage to keep my spirits up when things are down. Of course that has been an issue of a bit of stress too. It seems lately I never know which way to go ya know? Sometimes I wanna just sit around and game and watch stuff with Adan, but other times I want to sit around and game and just vent with Ted. And I always feel if I go one way or the other I "SEEM" to make the wrong choice and upset one or the other. I dunno maybe it's just me, but I just never know WHAT I want to do.
Speaking of that, in like 4 months I'll probably be living with Adan again. He let me move in with him 2 years ago and then moved away not long after, which let me get ot know and live with Ted. I'm kinda looking forward to living with him again to be honest. One of my two big problems living with him are change and company. I was never good at just up and changing things...it kinda fucked me over when I had to choose to stay or move with Ted last year. I have a hard time just up and doing certain things in life, so I tend to just hunker down and stay in my comfort zone. My other big problem is that lately I'm not a big fan of those whom he hangs with. I mean obviously I think his boyfriend is awesome and has a great wit about him. But some folks like Lucky and his friends bother me...oh well tho his life not mine ya know?
Well I think I've ranted enough. My mind is clear...or at least more clear than what it was. Thanks for reading. |

| Birthday n Wedding |
[Feb. 11th, 2009|12:05 pm] |
So yeah, my birthday for those of you who didn't know was last Monday the 9th was my 25th birthday. It was pretty cool, I went home to visit my family and friend who lives up here. I ended up staying at my friend's place on my birthday cuz we got a tad bit of ice...not fun. ;P When I FINALLY got home I was welcomed by a nice birthday dinner of Hawaiian meatballs and a homemade dark chocolate fudge with cream cheese frosting cake. :3~ Yuuum!
So on the 13th I'll be going to my sister's wedding. As excited as I should be this will be her 4th husband...but at least this time around I approve of the guy. ;P Kinda sucks tho, I gotta be an usher and I really don't wanna be more than there....oh well. Sounds like my little brother severely sprained or fractured his ankle in some way, shape, or form...so yeah, don't know how well he will be doing ushering too. ;P
So yeah, that's all...gonna try to doodle sometime when I get a chance, I REALLY wanna start drawing more. xD Wish me luck! |
