Seriously, guys: STOP SPAMMING MY INSANEJOURNAL. It's not funny. You've made me forbid anonymous comments from people who maybe doesn't have an insanejournal account.

other than my family cared
about me.

Just got back from first day at work, which consisted of mostly boring theoretical training.
Awesomepoints: only the porter misgendered me, everybody else who adressed me in a gendered fashion today already knew me from last year. My temp ID card was correct, too. These little things mean the world.
I met ex-colleagues in the cafeteria and did social things, like talking to people. Really looking forward to proper work tomorrow (and meeting my two favourite superiors again).
Not-so-awesomepoints: I'm dead tired. Seriously. I'm gonna check my feeds and email, and then I'm off to bed.
PSA: I have the late shift for at least two weeks from now, which suits me just fine. (I liked working nightshifts a lot, as evidenced in this IJ entry from 2008. Also, getting up early would kill me.) However, it has the disadvantage of being online less often, and thus chatting/commenting not as much as I used to. If you don't hear a peep from me for the next days or weeks, it's because of work effing up my sleep schedule / leisure time / energy levels. (Sadface.)

Joint - Shakugan no Shana II |
] |
The novels for this game arrived yesterday along with the collector's edition of the guide book and what a nice book it is indeed. Mainly for all the history of the world stuff that is in the back, I love world building and seeing how much effot went into creating the game world fills me with joy espically as a lot of the stuff in here wasn't used in the game at all.Like what the different noble title mean and how they come about as well as a history timeline. Anyone planing to write fanfic for this game whould really love the amount of background info on the world in genral.
The book itself is hardback and has really good quality paper, the game guide is well written and the concept art in the back is beautiful. Really looking forward to using it in my next playthrough.
On a sidenote I finished playing through Sherlock Holmes and in the end I have to say I really enjoyed it. The banter between Holmes and Watson really made this game as well as the fan in jokes like Holmes complaing that everyone seems to think he wears a deerstalker all the time.

Sometimes, disliking a female character has nothing to do with being misogynist. Sometimes, one just doesn't find them likable regardless of their gender. Other times, one dislikes them because the author's own misogyny shows through the character.

As far as I am aware, the final coats of paint went on last night. I do believe the majority of the clean-up is finally finished.
I'd like to thank all our staff members on behalf of the Management team seeing as someone hasn't bothered to do it himself. You all put in a considerable effort in the last few weeks, and it clearly shows.
Also, we have finally entered December! Christmas will be here quicker than you know it, so make sure any of you who wish to invite your famillies have their bookings in soon. We have already taken a great number of bookings for the holiday.
Private to Annie and Tommy
Did you want to organise our dinner for next week?

| Quick rec: "The Border House" gaming blog |
[Tue Dec 01, 2009 at 1:02am] |
The ABOUT text for this blog is as follows:
“The Border House is a blog for gamers. It's a blog for those who are feminist, queer, disabled, people of color, transgendered, rich, poor, middle class, gay, lesbian, and others who belong to marginalized groups, as well as allies. Our goal is to bring thoughtful analysis to gaming with a feminist viewpoint and up-to-date news on games, virtual worlds, and social media.”
And it actually has members of these groups as contributors! See chooseareality's intro post for an example; she's a trans woman and a lesbian. (Text might make you choke up a little, for mostly good reasons.)

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation |
] |
People do not teach their children boundaries these days. For example, by the time I seven or eight I knew not to go crawl up in the bushes in front my neighbor's house, peek into the window, and make scratching noises and hiss at the cat in the window. The little shits in my neighborhood, however, can't seem to grasp the concept that doing that is wrong. I'd go out there and give the little bastards a piece of my mind if I wasn't sick and in my pj's.
I guess I shouldn't have expected manners from the brats considering how, a year or so ago, they thought it would be fun to randomly open the front door and let the cats outside. It was unlocked because it was daylight and my dad and I were both home. That, of course, does not happen anymore; the front door is locked and/or barred at all times now. As it should be, honestly.
Maybe it's because the kids on the cul-de-sac I live in are mostly boys. (There are a few girls and I haven't had any problems with them.) I don't know. I do know that if it happens again, I'm going to scare the crap out of 'em. And if their parents say anything to me, well, I'll just tell them they should teach their kids not to peep into other people's windows.

I just realised my last post (before the wishlist thingy) was over a month ago! So updates....
- The TB test was positive. Really, Wtf. Even the Dr's we've seen were Wtf, where'd you get that from? Fortunately not in a contagious state, but still needs treating.
- Am working on ABP. Really! I am determined to get an update out before the end of the year. And hopefully get back to some kind of posting schedule after that.
- Was rationing meds. Got that problem fixed for the year. Feeling better.
- Tramadol increased from 90 per month to 240 per month. Feeling much better.
- I did 2 holiday fan exchanges (Snarry holidays and Snapely holidays)! Got them both in way before deadline. And I don't hate them! (A couple flaws jump out at me of course, but I think that's normal for artists). Digital art, but I'm hoping this translates to more inspiration for actual painting on canvas.

| On Family and Other Sour Spots |
[Mon Nov 30, 2009 at 12:40pm] |
I hate family holidays. It's not as bad as it used to be. There isn't a mind numbing soul obliterating anxiety about them anymore as there used to be. There's just a dull ache of worry and some slight stomach tremors. Really the worst bit was that I thought I'd probably never have to go to a shin dig like this again. I would go one day, I just would never have to.
I didn't want to talk about where I'd been what I'd been doing and how I was. I'm better but not so well that I can always talk about Zac or Wyoming or what was a fairy tale life that while childish and unsustainable was also beautiful. I just can't talk about it especially with people who don't get it and no one in my family gets it.
Instead I gave short answers and listened to long unending diatribes of how awesome everyone else is. I was glad they were well but I could have done without the jabs at where they were compared to me. I sincerely hope I never did that to them or anyone else, though my successes are so few and far between, I'm sure I've had little opportunity to knock some else further down that way.
In particular my cousin, who works at Fenway went on and on about how boring but glamorous her job was, how much she hated living at home (though she does nothing there but sleep and hang out), and how wonderful her parties and nights out were. I wanted her to be successful. I was prepared to hear about her success and joy so it didn't even sting that much when she kept slighting me and where I was or discarding some of the work I have to do like chores and house upkeep and whatnot.
What did sting was to find out later that her job at Fenway pays $9/hr she works no more than 30hrs a week and she doesn't get benefits. She'd sat there and scorned my retail work as less and demeaning when we make the same hourly rate, I work full time and my job gives me benefits. I don't have an hours commute by public transportation to pay for or anything.
In other more pleasant news my bro got a letter from Mass Maritime and we think it might be his acceptance *hopefully*. I've got to wait for him to come home and open it but I'm super hopeful for him. It's very exciting.
Also, they've finally corrected the comp and literacy portions of the mtels, I should finally have results and hopefully a license on the 9th. Maybe I've be able to pick up some second term work or start vigorously looking for the fall. I'm apprehensive and excited. I don't know what I'll do if this doesn't work and my parents feel strongly I'll need several other back up plans that I'm not sure how to approach but I'll have to figure something out soon I guess.

| wishlist 2009 |
[Sun Nov 29, 2009 at 3:33am] |
I've been pretty conflicted about posting my wishlist; on one hand its something of a fandom/lj/lj-clones tradition, and although many people try to grant wishes, its not a required or expected part of making the list. On the other hand, im really ashamed that I screwed up with Holiday wishes last year. I don't even remember who I promised to send stuff too last year (can't look back at my emails because there was a computer mishap) I could explain about all our medical and financial and family crisises but I don't want to focus on the negative and I doubt you'd enjoy reading it either.
If I promised you something last year, please let me know, and I'll try to make it right this year.

the boy bought me a laptop for my birthday/xmas!! so excited for the future with this machine.
turned 21 two weeks ago. lots of drinking has ensued since then.
school semester is almost over... finally.
thanksgiving was a little crazy. and we only had to spend like half an hour at my grandmother's, which was awesome.
oh, and the caps won in overtime tonight, which totally made my six hours at work a little better.
