| What? Really? |
[Nov. 14th, 2009|09:17 am] |
Yesterday was very low key. I did a whole lot of sitting around the house during the day, so that night, I was kinda wanting to go out. We decided on going to see "A Christmas Carol" since it was playing in my town, but then to our dismay after stopping at the ATMs, Collin hadn't gotten paid so he had $4 to his name, and my check must not have gone through so I wasn't much better. So I got really frustrated. We went to the diner, since Andrew's mom would get us dinner (we're bums, I know) and figured out a new plan. We'd rent a movie, go back to my house and just hang out and watch it.
Now before I go on, I have to mention Collin's friend Cross. I met him in October. I can't remember if I have mentioned him here or not, he used to live in Newark in a foster home. And he's one of Collin's friends from RVCC. They met there last semester, and Collin's other friends (PJ, Andrew, etc) met him I think in July? So all of a sudden, Cross went from coming around once in awhile, to coming.... and staying through the week. Collin was his chauffeur, taking him to and from school, and taking him back and forth to Newark. This was before he got the new car, and he had the Candy Van which really wasn't safe for long drives. Long story short, a few weeks after I had met him, I realized this kid's a manipulative dick. We all did. But Collin would defend him and say he had nobody else and stuff. So we all kept our mouths shut... until Cross called Collin 2 hours after he had been dropped off in Newark to get picked up again. I was PISSED. It was almost midnight, and Collin and I were about to go home to go to bed. So off he went to pick up his friend, and came to bed about 2 hours later. We found out Cross was "kicked out" of his foster home, and he could never get the story straight as to why. Then he was asking Andrew's mom to let him live with her, since Andrew is going to the Marines soon. Not okay. She wants none of that. I don't blame her. None of us do. He sleeps all day. He does little to nothing to help around the house, and he eats all of her food. Where does this sound familiar?
Here's a fun anecdote. On Thursday night, Collin and I went to Andrews for dinner and to watch "Funny Games", and during dinner, Cross had 3 bites of food and sat there with his head in his hands trying to throw a pity party, and only really mumbling if anyone talked to him. Then when we started the movie, he sat pretty much in front of the TV on the floor so Andrew and his mom had to ask him to move 3 or 4 times, and put his headphones on and watched Youtube videos and chatted on Facebook. And whenever something would interest him (ex: Naomi Watts in her underwear during the "Cat in the Bag" scene) he would take off the headphones and ask what was going on. Very annoying.
So that brings us to this weekend. Cross has been staying at Andrew's, and his mom didn't mind as long as Cross had found a place to stay by this coming Monday, which supposedly he did. But Andrew will be away this weekend. So Andrew's mom asked Collin to either stay at the house, or take Cross to his house. Collin said he'd take Cross, since now it's like a babysitting job. But he was thinking this was going down Saturday night. So last night, we went to dinner and Andrew's mom was telling us that Cross was being more rude and obnoxious to her and Andrew than ever and she wants him out Monday. And she's told him that. So Collin and I leave and continue our night, rented a movie, and went back to my house. We decided to play Wii for a little while before the movie, and Collin's phone died. Around 11:30, we were getting into bed to watch the movie, and saw that Andrew's mom had called something like 5 times. So Collin called her back... apparently Cross was sitting in front of the house with his girlfriend waiting to get in, after not getting in touch with anyone on whether or not he was coming back all day. Why can't his girlfriend take him? Wouldn't he be her responsibility? Andrew wasn't home. So she wanted none of that. So Collin was now summoned to pick him up, and to take him back to his house. And, fucking yes I was upset. I wasn't mad at Collin, I was mad at this manipulative asshole who, for the last week, has been treating everyone like shit. Collin felt horrible because, yeah, our night was pretty shot, and now he'll be babysitting Cross all weekend and he knows it. So our rented movie is sitting here on the floor. He says we'll watch it tonight, but I'm sure that won't happen because Cross is going to be around. He's like a roach. He doesn't leave.
And now I'm off to Accessory Hell. |

I literally just yelled at my paycheck. Who does that? Oh wait. Me.
I got moved to accessories. Which should have been a good thing. But I have the bitchiest boss ever. And everyone who works in Macy's hates their life, pretty much. Everyone there is angry and has been there way too long. My boss yells at me for stupid shit like "hanging out" behind the register... apparently asking my coworker a question while we were still standing behind the register is a big deal. My other coworker and I were folding scarves yesterday, and since we were doing it wrong apparently it was okay for her to push said scarves onto the ground. Thanks, cunt!
She left me in my section to close by myself last night (didn't bother me), but was sure to get me with as much bullshit as she could. Then when I couldn't finish it, cuz wait, I had a section to watch after plus stock fucking Isotoner gloves that only came in 2 sizes and 2 colors, but apparently they came in 4 colors at one point so it's my fault that I couldn't find anything other than black and "oyster" in no size, and XL.
My paycheck is from my training. We get paid every week. So I got my shitty training paycheck this week. Next week, when I go to AUSA, I'll have this week's pay... so now I have to not eat or get gas so I'll have money to actually eat down there. Yay!
Then there's the G4 contest. Can it be over now? Can I find out I lost and get on with my life? I mean I hope I win, but counting today, there are 4 days left. It's me, Action Chick Katrina, Laura, and the fucking Wii Playing Megan. We're all tied. But honestly, it's going to be me or Katrina. I just want it to be over so I can be pissed/bummed out/bitter about it and get it over with. |

And truthfully, Nathan Lane is growing on me as Gomez.
I'm a little concerned by Grandmama--who Tori has seen and disliked in many things--and who I found really irritating during the ten seconds she was in this video. Granted, it was the actress I was seeing, not the character... but it's not like those are entirely discrete entities.
On a similar note, I'm not entirely wild about what they've done with Wednesday, although it could work. The bit that worries me is that (per ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) haunted_spark) they seem to be planning the same Avril Lavigne musical crap for her that Repo! gave to Shilo. For those of you who haven't seen Repo! or whose tastes differ wildly from mine, her music was horrible and jarring and sounded awful along side Sarah Brightman and Anthony Head. ...and what happened to her braids?!
In any case, the show starts up in April if I'm not mistaken, and I need to see it. |

Watching Knocked Up. Waiting for Collin to get out of work so I can go to his house again tonight.
About a month ago Ellory told me G4 was bringing back "Woman of the Web" and opening it up to anyone to enter. So we whipped up an interview, he did some fancy editing, and somehow I made it into the top voting... and it's making me crazy. I should be posting here about my first day of work, which wasn't terrible but not great. Boring. Tedious. Collin's dad is away for the week. I think until Thursday or Friday. So we have the house to ourselves, but my body clearly hates me. So no loud obnoxious sexytime until (of course) dad comes back. Fab! But yeah, I got into the "finals" I guess for this contest. And it's literally neck and neck. Me against this girl Katrina "Action Chick". She has a website and a Twitter with some crazy thousand+ followers. And she was on G4 for Dallas Comic Con. Like she covered it or something. And she's plain looking. Not exactly ugly (one girl looks like a 12 year old boy, one girl looks (and acts 14) and other girls were just kinda... fake) but not pretty. She's just plain. And she's super nice. Why the shit is she so nice? Ellory made a post about me on a G4 board, and she took it over but then did a PS on how cute I am and stuff. It was like that girl thing, where you're super nice, but underneath you hate their guts. Because seriously, we are each other's competition. So I did some stalking, started following her and now she's tweeting me and she's super nice saying we should both win because that would be awesome and now she's telling her thousands of followers to vote for the girl they want to win, even if it's not her. And now they're back to the "vote for me!" and it's just getting overly stupid... and then this bitch posted a comment on my submission that I make her want to vomit because of my stomach fat... I know I'm not fat. I know I know I know. I'm not trying to pityparty. I'm not trying to guily anyone. I'm just being stupid about all of this stupid crap.
I'm opening tomorrow at Macy's. I was moved to Accessories... which is fantastic... But all I can think of is "holy crap 8 hours where I can't vote on my video and I won't know how I'm doing until I get home... fuck." I think the last day is Friday. Or Monday. Either way. I want it to be over.
All I know is when I lose, it's going to suck hard. |
