great… I was writing a post yesterday, switched tabs to do something else… and then forgot to post it!
And just closed the browser, heh.
Anyway… today is free due to some church holiday or something. So we're most likely working this Saturday. Bah.
I'm still sore as hell after work and now my throat is starting to act up. But overall it has gotten a bit better…

Hmm…I have to pee…
I have a moustache that is very un-moustache like. Too bored to get rid of it.
But I definitely look ghetto with it.
…Yeah…
My mom finally got me my working papers yesterday and there's barely anyone hiring anymore. Great. Just great.
I have a concert on Saturday that I think I'm really going to screw up. The group as a whole that is. We barely get practices in and the one we're having today from 2-4 is going to be hectic and we'll barely get anything done. BARELY.
Don't ya hate when you can't remember anything you learned to play on the acoustic guitar? I do. I know the first song I learned was Pork and Beans and then I don't remember up to maybe the 13th…weird…
Trying to learn Castles Made of Sand by the way. It's H-A-R-D.

I've been spending all my time on stupid gaia. Wth i thought i was gonna pop in for a week and leave like i do every summer, but now it's actually entertaining and forums get 400-1000posts per day instead of 15posts… >.>
But i haven't been productive at all outside of imaginary gold and hanging out with friends this summer. Well 'productive' being up to interpretation, which by most standards is just as bad as gaia.
HOORAY!
After countless of silly spam, featuring everything from cheap online drugs, Viagra, loose girls that are living in my neighborhood, penis enlargement and printer cartridges, I've finally got my first Nigerian scam letter.
Dear Friend,
I need your assistance so that we can both successfully transfer an
abandoned sum totaling $19.5Million Dollars deposited by late Mr Sadiq
Uday in my bank Hang Seng Bank, Hong Kong. Please reply quickly so that I
can give you more information about the source of funds, and on the
condition that 60% goes to me and 40% to you.
Please reply with Full Names, Private Phone Number, Current Residential
Address, and Occupation via my private email: lisonglee@live.com
Sincerely,
Song Li Lee
It's kinda short. I was hoping for a bigger and more elaborate story.
I can't help feeling a bit let down.
So, should I do it?
Still happy about finally receiving a Nigerian scam letter.
Hey, remember that comedian that just won the mayor's seat, that I told you about? He once got a scam letter like that and decided to mess around with the guy who sent him that. He wrote back and was eventually talking to him through phone. He recorded all the phone conversations, where he pretended to be a wealthy man with alooooot of problems. Since the letter was supposed to have been written by a woman and the guy on the phone claimed to be her son, the comedian decided to admit to him that he had fallen in love with the woman in the letter and wanted to marry her. From that point onward he started addressing the scam guy as his son. This continued for 5-6 more phone calls, getting more and more ridiculous and after a bit creative of editing, a radio soap opera was born.
Ugh… head cold still hitting me. Not as hard now, but the hacking coughs are getting annoying. Especially when I'm trying to think up new jokes to use in comics. Or when drinking coffee… imagine finally getting the cup to your lips, then when you're about to take a sip a salvo of coughs suddenly comes up that you can't stop… and you end up bathing in your coffee…
Now I can listen to my MP3 player play full songs as opposed to the 10-second tidbits that have been cycling through my head non-stop for the better part of four weeks.Thank god it's not just the same song! I spent two months being perpetually tormented by ten-hour work shifts in which some horrible part of my brain exclusively played Placebo's "Every You Every Me" on loop.
For some reason, it mercifully ceased when I quit that job. If it hadn't, I'd have been put down by now for sure.
Even now I'm lauded by friends for my masterful imitation of that guy's nasal voice, which is a matter of course because I certainly practiced it enough. >_<

I never liked that song either, or any Placebo track… apart from Pure Morning:
Man, I still love this one.
(ugh! I just realised how amazingly emo the original clip looked so I changed the vid. I would never have loved that song if I didn't hear it on the radio first)
Sinus ache is assaulting my left temple. Not fair :{
I have more sewing to do and it's boring! But I'll never get it done unless I just get on and DO it. Watching my Led Zeppelin DVDs will hopefully help keep me from being distracted for a while.
I was pretty depressed for a few days. My friends have all been busy, so I have no one to talk to. My birthday is later this month as well, and I'm a hopeless romantic who has never had a date or a kiss or even anyone's interest, and I see my prospects dininishing every year. So, I've been feeling acutely lonely. It hasn't helped that all my cousins having children, my dad's coworkers getting married, my sister finding full-time work and moving out, and everyone else apparently finding some great new joys in life. (And I feel worse that I can't be happy *for* them. Makes me feel like a horrible person.)
But then yesterday, this happened.
My parents gave me two kittens as an early birthday gift.
Who needs friends, romance, or a job when one has kittens? ^_^

Three exams down, three more to go. I don't really feel like going out tomorrow, but if I stay home for another weekend, God knows I won't hear the end of it. >__>

That breaks my heart to hear you say. ): I feel that way too sometimes. But I'm glad you have your kitties. They're very cute!
Awww, what cute little boys :] It's good there's two, they can keep each other entertained rather than drive everyone else crazy. (God made kittens adorable so you don't want to kill them.)
Hopefully they are not telling you that they think you will grow up to be a crazy cat lady. More probably they saw how attached you were to the dog and that you took such good care of her. :] People with pets are healthier and happier (and poorer) than people without!

Btw, the one without white is a girl. I was surprised too. You don't see too many orange girls around.
Speaking of music stuck in your brain on loop during worktime:
I got THIS:
mostly the four lines.
Come here baby I love your company
We could do it and start a family
She was living alone unhappily
We could do it, it's right romantically
In other news… working saturday again! Two bright sides: there are extra buses on working saturdays aaand we get paid extra (about 30$ extra to the paycheck) for every working weekend…so that's the two good things.
Wow… slept a bit TOO well. The back of my neck hurts and I've got a pillow on the headrest of my computer chair
to keep things comfortable. Also cooking my lunch/dinner (I take in two meals a day) at the moment. Oh, well.. at
least it's not like last week… I had nothing but SPAM last Saturday. ewww…
*sigh* Memories. All the family in one house. Everyone having fun. Those days are gone now. And while there is a
chance that I can start a family myself and make new memories in this house, that chance is extremely slim at best…
There are just some days when I look at my house and realize just how empty everything is. And thanks to one
obligation or another I'm stuck here. I look to my past and realize just how much of my own life wasn't really mine.
And even now with everyone living somewhere else there are still things I CAN'T do. Maybe I'm just dwelling on
this too much.
Oh, well… maybe I'll go start more of my Astronomalies comics for next week, though I'll have to admit… despite
all the stuff I've read about the Universe there's surprisingly
few jokes I can think of right now about it. Maybe I'll go do my one Pheonix Wright parody about the case of the
dwarf planet formerly known as the Planet Pluto…
Or maybe my nightmare will come true and I'll get lots of hate PQs/emails telling me to drop myself and my comics
off the sight of Drunkduck… Let's hope that doesn't happen, though… already happened twice to me since I
started surfing the net a long time ago…
Time to go and watch one of my favorite Star Trek episodes on XBox Live… Star Trek: The Immaturity Syndrome. :)
Well, today wasn't so bad… but it sure as hell was tiresome!
We managed to do 1209 tv sets! Not only was it the BEST result for our line since we started (and we are a pretty new line with only a few people that worked longer who were thrown into our line), we were also the BEST out of all the lines today. Only two lines were fairly close, both with more than 1100, but the rest was below 1000.
That's a one way to make the job enjoyable, make it a contest with other lines, haha.
The new logistic is waaay more organized than the old one. Other than some issues with not enough sticky tape (which was lacking in storage too so it's not his fault exactly) there were no problems. All the styrofoam forms, boxes, manuals, remotes, cables and plastic bags were always on time!
My sister is graduating today. It's gonna be weird not hearing how much we look alike from all my teachers for the next two years. God, all the teachers love her. I'm going to have to form a support group for them now that she's off to college…
We're going out to eat afterward at this really nice inn where I'm GOING to have my wedding reception unless it burns down in the next ten years or something. I don't care if I don't live in Pennsylvania anymore, I'm having my reception there! It's sooo damn nice.
The bad news is, i still haven't heard from my lawyer about the whole owing the trailer thousands of dollars. but in a way i guess that's good news. cause they haven't contacted him. but at the same time, all that money is sitting there, unable to help me with my bills and fun expenditures….

I got the newest android phone. it comes with a rebate. mysteriously that rebate has disappeared. quite suspicious, because my wife went to the same store, and the same thing happened to her. if those people are taking back the rebates for themselves, they're prolly making an easy extra 1k a month. easy. I'm going back there, to see if i "dropped it"
