May. 8th, 2006 09:01 pm1. I hate
ljsecret. It breaks my flist. At the same time it is grossly addictive.
2. Doing a major organization/reorganization of my room is discovering a lot of things that fit one of three categories:
This is not a job for the weary. Which is why I'm bitching about it in my LiveJournal instead of doing it.
3. Speaking of "job", I heard back from the HR lady at Von Hoffman (that'd be where my dad works). What she can offer me is 2nd or 3rd shift in the bindery. Whatever that does. I'm not going to do it because even though I want, nay, need a job, I'm not going to do one that involves never seeing my family. Fucking ridiculous. I may as well have gotten an internship in Cedar Rapids or somewhere else in the great blue yonder and- forget it, that brings on a rant I'll make later. There are a few possibilities that I'm exploring right now, two of them are childcare, but I figure maybe I should at least pretend like I'm considering it, especially after this lady was so nice to me and went to all the trouble. :\
4. I love my family but I'm discovering that it's true that the more you live with a person, the more annoying they are. (Except for Mel. I love Mel. And all you former roomies on teh flist.) Then again, I've been living with a couple of these people for twenty years so nine months is honestly nothing. At least at college I don't have people who eat my food. And I can have 2% milk. I swear, 2% milk is like hen's teeth on campus. Like it's evil incarnate or something.
5. Similarly, having five people suddenly appear in my house after school is unnerving. I appreciate that my sister has friends and they all like to run around together (after all, hello, I finally managed to find myself a conglomerate in Melgansustephiz), but don't they have other houses they can, you know, run around in and mooch food off of? Also I still get the heebie jeebies watching my sister with That 21-Year-Old Boy. This kid was weird. He's still weird. Even when we were in high school I found him creepily weird and having him IN THE KITCHEN with his arms VERY POSSESSIVELY AROUND MY SISTER'S WAIST is disturbing.
6. Firefly icons are still forthcoming. See, I'm making a lot of them. A lot. I don't - I don't even remember the last time I made this many icons for one thing.
7. My ACM contact in London is named Professor Blackadder. I am so far beyond pleased and amused. Amazing how something so small and inconsequential can just put me in a better mood.

2. Doing a major organization/reorganization of my room is discovering a lot of things that fit one of three categories:
a. It isn't mine.
b. I don't remember where it came from.
c. I remember where it came from, but I either can't believe I kept it/it used to fit me/thought it disappeared a long time ago.
