Something ... really weird happened this morning. I'm still not sure if I can explain it.
I woke up early -- like, really early. 6AM. No alarm, no dog sitting on my face to get me to let him out. Just... woke up.
And automatically, I got up, and made a pot of coffee. Not normal coffee, either. As dark as physically possible. My mother, who is always up early, came into the kitchen, and couldn't drink the stuff even when she half-diluted it with milk.
She asked me who I made it for, and I told her that it was tradition, to make my 'nii-sama' coffee on Holidays.
She looked at me crazy, and for good reason. Because she doesn't speak Japanese, for one. Nii-sama -- er. It means 'highly respected older brother'. When I explained that, she was even more confused. Because you can't give my brother coffee or he'll be up for weeks. And she also knows I'd never refer to Guy that way.
Automatically she assumed I was sick and wanted me to go back to bed.
It's weird ... I know.
I poured the coffee down the drain. Nobody in the family could drink it.
( Private. )
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. My mother loves this holiday, and since I got up early, she's recruiting me to help cook. I'm on stuffing duty. Chopping celery, apple, and onion. And later she'll have me peeling apples. Possibly until the end of time. I guess it'll be something to do. I've already got most of my homework done.
Lilly? Are we on for Friday? I got the keys, if you still want to go. I'd invite you over for dinner, but I have a feeling your mother will be having some kind of dinner.
I hope everyone is happy and well fed for the holiday. If not on turkey, then whatever will make you happy. I'd be perfectly content with pizza but my mother won't listen to reason.

I just spent the entire day clearing and sorting through two rooms. How I've still got this much junk after the tosses I have done, I don't know. But I do like how it is arranged now. I moved the bookcase from the studio into the bedroom, mostly because I was always carting books into there to read. So I just figured it was best to put the bookcase in the bedroom. At least it gave a shelf for all my owls.
My computer screen is now sitting up on a shelf too. So I have to look up, not sorta hunched down, doing a Riff Raff impersonation.
My life is exciting no?
Better than whining though.
Oh and there are frog mouth owls roosting(?) in the trees in the backyard. They aren't really owls, from what I remember, they are a specific type of nightbird. But they are prettiful to watch.

So yay I have a job. I had the interview yesterday (at a surprisingly large strawberry farm). It was really bizarre cause it ended up being more of a chat than an actual interview. And I'd been thinking okay i'll hear back in a couple of days or whatever and be told whether i have the job or not... um.... yeah that didn't happen. The lady, and I can't remember what was said exactly but... she said 'somethingsomething and it doesn't matter anyway, you've got the job.'
And in my head I'm just going 'WHAT? I'VE GOT THE JOB?'. It was just really strange. Anyway I start Monday 1pm... it's not much, I'll be compiling the tallies the workers have and taking care of the shop front. But it's something.
Oh Layne, I almost have a tag done for you... I had most of it and was going to post before going to bed last night but it still needed a bit extra. But I swear it'll be up soon.
