AKJSFAL;KSJFA I just realized that much of my f-list has changed their usernames. Unfortunately, this means that, for about ten people on my f-list, I have no idea who they are anymore by username.
Poop. Other than that, it's really really hot these days and I'm sick of work. Also, I broke a nail today at work, but that is irrelevant. BUT!
I'M GOING TO VANCOUVER AND/OR BANFF IN A FEW WEEKS. YAYYYYYYY.

Veronica Mars, series finale; my thoughts.
( Spoilers. )
So. An amazing show, done. Only for now, hopefully. HOPEFULLY. Oh lord. I don't know. I cannot even describe my overall love for Veronica Mars. To me, Veronica Mars changed my entire perspective on what I expect from television. I had never before watched a show that was so intricate, so developed, so funny, so heartbreaking all at once. It sounds kind of stupid, but it really does make my heart swell; that's what it feels like. It's not even like, "EEEE, I AM SOOO OBSESSED WITH THIS SHOW!"; it's just feeling so incredibly attached to something wonderful. So it makes me so sad that it's over.

K, THE THING IS, IS THAT I HARDLY EVER GET PIMPLES. However, when I do, they hurt sooooo much. And they're always huge and very noticeable because the rest of my skin is clear. There's this large red one on my forehead and I'm supposed to be working on my English debate but all I can concentrate on is the Pain. It seriously hurts. So much. Especially because I have a habit of brushing my fringe off my face and my zit is conveniently located so that my fingernails graze my pimple whenever I swipe my hair to the side and it hurts even more. Ow. askldfja;skljf.

STOP PROCRASTINATING, MICHELLE.
STOP IT. Just because there's no school tomorrow, I intentionally took like four hours to complete my fetal pig diagram for Bio (granted, there was a lot of stippling going on and I had to check up many of the organs on the internet since I hadn't drawn them at school when actually doing the dissection) but it was more me on MSN/listening to music and doing nothing.
I am a lazy bum. I also need to stop lurking on Facebook. I feel like such a creep. :)

I'm sick. I feel so badddddd. Fever, blocked ears, sneezing/sniffling, sore throat, etc. Gahh.
More importantly, in my opinion, I completely bombed my yearbook interview. My mouth dried about five minutes in (the interview was half an hour long) and I was having trouble collecting my thoughts. Ms. Marquis kind of weirded me out, too. She was nice, I think?, but scary. I can't describe it. I basically rambled really stupidly for about four minutes on every question. The questions involved thinking, which today I had no ability to do.
Speaking of thinking, my in-class English essay is poo too. I'm seriously grateful that we have two classes to do it, because right now it's horrible. I've only finished 1 and 1/2 out of five paragraphs.
And I have a French presentation tomorrow. And a test and work on Wednesday.
This is basically a very whiny post, in which I am whining about the very bad timing of my cold. It's totally my fault though. I was hoping on Saturday, when I was a bit sniffly, that I'd be sick on Sunday so I could miss work and do my French. WELL, HAHA, I SO GOT MY WISH. I am seriously an idiot sometimes.

Duchess Says - Black Flag |

MY HAIR. It's so short. Gahhh. Ignore this if you want. I am despairing, yet again, for the eighth-straight-hour or so of my hair. It's disgustingly short. I look like a boy. Seriously, I am thinking that if I were not me, and I saw myself randomly on the street, I'd think that I was as boy. Yes, that sentence made no sense. But argh. I hate it. I really really don't like this. I am hoping that it'll miraculously grow an inch while I'm sleeping tonight. I don't want to go to school on Monday. I know it's so shallow and juvenile of me, but I seriously don't.
The hairdresser completely misled me. I actually brought in a picture too, plus I was flipping through those hair-style books while I was waiting and I found this one I liked that was to my shoulders and I asked the lady what she thought. And she was like, "well, I'll make it to your shoulders, but I'll give you side bangs, etcetc." And I don't know how she managed to misinterpret the picture like that, because yes, it is to my shoulders, and yes, i do have sidebangs, but! The first part's like a total technicality. Like, you know how boy hair looks? Basically, I have like a tuft around the nape of my neck that reaches my shoulders, but everything else is like three inches long. I am not even sure if that is an exaggeration.
Of course, I was all, "Oh, thank you!" and crap like that, because I was with my mother and she loves it (both my parents have been pushing me to get short hair since I was like nine, so she's obviously ecstatic) but I completely teared up on the way back. I look like a cross between Meg Ryan and my friend, Leon. Aasldkfja;skldfja;skdfj.

1. I haven't posted in so long! I miss everyone a lot. I've been rather busy with school and WORK (at Zeller's; it's a department-store like thing that's basically like a smaller, less crowded Walmart).
2. Speaking of work, I kind of don't like it. I feel like I still haven't gotten the hang of it, despite being there for almost two months. Also, I haven't exactly made a plethora (hee) of friends. A lot of the employees there are middle aged, and THEY seem to like me, I think. The ones nearer to my age though, just don't seem to. I don't know. I find them kind of intimidating since they're a few years older and all seem a bit more extroverted.
3. I am very sick of school. And stress. And having to balance my time between school and work. March Break, which is basically a week with no school, comes next week so I shall catch up with everyone then.
4. RANDOM NOTE, IT'S MY BIRTHDAY IN 17 MINUTES (it's 11:43 on my laptop). YAYYYYYYY. AND I'M TURNING 17! Woooo, coincidence! Sorry, I'm kind of excited. 17 seems kind of huge.
5. I hope everyone's alright. Again, I miss you.

Life is very good, yay. I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/holiday-in-general.
I slept funny, though, and now my back hurts. I seriously miss my piano. IMISSITIMISSIT. Even the ugly mermaid picture I etched into it when I was six after reading this picture book about a mermaid. I was in so much trouble for that.
I'm starting to miss school. There really isn't much to do. I took a walk yesterday and it was sooo boring. Where I live right now, is at the northern border of Toronto and the southern border of this town-thingy called Thornhill, which is really actually shared by two municipalities north of Toronto called Vaughn and Markham. Okay, never mind that part. The point is, is that I took a walk and it was so boring. I didn't know that, along the street I was walking on, southern Thornhill merely consisted of car dealerships. It was pretty disappointing and the cookie I bought tasted kind of vile.
My parents and I went to my mom's friend's house (mansion) the way we always do every major holiday and, as always, we ate at a Chinese buffet. It was good, except that I didn't eat as much as I usually did for some reason. It might have been because I had stuffed myself with chips when playing DDR with my mom's friend's daughter. Or something. Either way, all the parents kept looking at my lack of food and it was sooo awkward, because they kept going, "EAT! GET DESSERT!" and I'd say, "Oh, no, I'm full..." and I think that they think I have an eating disorder or something, especially the grandma, who kept pushing fortune cookies towards me.
I GOT THE LONG BLONDES CD, WHICH MY MOTHER FINALLY DECIDED TO ORDER FOR ME. I love them.
I miss you, f-list. Hope life is going spectacularly.

Okay, my throat feels horrible. And I googled my symptoms and although on the first site I went to, it wasn't anything major, but on the second one (a forum), people were talking about THROAT CANCER. AND CALL ME PARANOID AND ETC., BUT I REALLY DON'T WANT THROAT CANCER.
So I'm going to describe here how my throat is feeling and I am wondering if someone has had similar symptoms so that they could tell me what's wrong with me. Or someone who is really smart and studying to become a doctor of some sort.
Okay. There's this sort of dull pain, like a pressure at the base of my throat, like right where my collarbones meet at the start of my esophagus. I can feel my heart beating at that area without feeling for a pulse. This pressure at the base of my throat also seems to connect to this weird dull pain in my chest, like sort of directly under the base of my throat. It kind of feels like either:
1) when you swallow like a huge mouthful of something without chewing properly and whatever it is (eg a hard-boiled egg or something) is sort of slowly making its way down your throat painfully. Only it feels like this "mouthful of food" is lodged there.
2) it also feels like a stubby finger is reaching from my chest cavity and repeatedly poking the inside of my throat, at the place between the collarbones.
3) someone pressing the eraser-end of a pencil against the base of my throat (like, as opposed to from the inside of my throat, as in #2).
I'm also kind of dry-coughing a bit, only when I do cough, I can kind of 'feel' a hint of phlegm. I am also sort of constantly feeling a burp rising up my throat but it never happens. Also, my period came two weeks early, if that's relevant. I've been under stress lately from school and getting maybe an hour less sleep every night. I have never smoked, I don't drink, I don't do drugs. I have seasonal allergies but only in the spring/summer.
My mom's taking me to see a doctor sometime soon, but I hate not knowing. I really don't want throat cancer.

So, I'm trying this thing where I'm not procrastinating regarding homework. But I'm so bored.
And I've been wanting to do this for awhile. Stolen from practically everyone. Ask me my top fives of anything and I'll list them in a separate post. I want some difficultish questions so I can think about them 24/7 and not accomplish anything, EVER.
And as ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) nirvana_gal77 very well knows, this Pennysaver radio commercial makes me laugh. Really uncontrollably. I think that everyone should download this so that we can all tehee (which is really a verb) together. Seriously, I plan on infecting the world with this.

Two memes that I've been putting off.
Remember that icon meme? I'm pretty sure that no one cares anymore, as it was from two months ago, but I'm finally done. Some of them are atrociously ugly and I'm very sorry.
( Meme #1 - ICONS )
And, also, a music meme, tagged by doomedromance.
Open your playlist, pick songs that start with each letter of your username, but, the songs have to mean something to you. Don't just pick a song because it starts with a letter in your username. Post the list to your journal, if you want you can explain why the songs are important to you, but it's not required. Tag at least five other people to do the meme.
It actually took me awhile to pick my songs. At first, I was trying to go for a bunch of really pretty and quiet songs and then I wanted to upload songs that were loud and fast that I listen to nonstop. And then I wanted to make two separate versions of the same meme, one with quiet/beautiful/slow songs, and one with loud/catchy/fast songs, only I realized that I didn't even like some of the songs on my two lists that much.
So yes. I love each and every song I chose, for different reasons. Yay. Tell me if you download anything.
( Meme #2 - SONGS )
I tag anyone who hasn't done this yet.
School starts next Tuesday, so I won't be around very much. It's quite sad how summer's pretty much over. I feel weird. Like, I'm getting older (I mean, I am scientifically and all, but I mean older as in...actually aging and leaving bits of my childhood behind and whatnot). So anyway, come next Tuesday (or Wednesday...or whenever school starts taking over my life), I'll miss everyone dearly. Even those whom I never talk to.
Oh, and I really love the new vacuum my mom bought. The actual vacuum (the one that you roll around the floors/carpets) doesn't actual work that well, in my opinion, but there is this Air-driven Turbo Brush thing that you can attach and it sucks up EVERYTHING. IT IS SO COOL.

The Pipettes - ABC |

Livejournal seems so empty these days. Quite a contrast from those good old days in July when there were so many entries that it was hard to comment on them all. Now, they're sparse and it's a bit sad. I've never been good at adapting to changes. I tend to look backwards, all wistful for the way things used to be. Is it the start of school? Is it the preparation for the start of school?
I don't know. It's kind of hypocritical of me, because I don't update often (I have plans of updating however) but...I don't know. I just miss people.
I hate my userpics. Well, not the one that doomedromance made, but all the rest. I have no motivation to make more, however. I just want to soak everybody up, if that makes sense at all.

I really need to get one of those birthday calendar things. Happy birthday to goingooo! I love you. I also miss you lots, because we haven't really been in touch lately.
Oh, and.
1. I'm sick. I feel very very lightheaded and dizzy.
2. It also seems to be allergy season. Maybe I'm actually not sick and I just have allergies and the lightheadness and dizziness is for no apparent reason.
3. Someone needs to remind me to contact whyistherainbow within the next few days.
4. I feel so out of it. I miss everybody. I don't know if it's because I'm sick or not, but I can't seem to bring myself to read things, including AD posts and livejournal entries or whatnot.
5. I love how my Goth Girl turns blonde when she's sick.
Okay. That's all.

After 17 hours of work, I am now unemployed. I had been told, last Tuesday, that business was slow at the dollar store and that they'll call me when they need me. Today, I went to pick up my cheque and I was told that I wouldn't be working there anymore. The manager said that she kept training me to not be nervous, but "I didn't learn anything" and that I was "too nervous." I asked if I could at least cite the store as a reference if I applied somewhere else and she said, "No. I can't lie."
I'm...I don't know. Disappointed, I guess. I mean, I had been going on and on about waiting to be fired and sucking at my job and stuff, but maybe part of me didn't actually mean it. I personally thought that I was starting to improve. So I started getting all weepy the minute I left the store. My mom started going on about them lying about me and actually letting me go because their business was suffering, but I'm pretty sure that it was the other way around. That they said that business was slow as a way to break it to me gently at first, or something.
I think it's more because I'm used to excelling at everything (except Gym) and...well, I didn't exactly excel if I was let go. My mom calls it being laid off, I call it fired. This is depressing. After I move, I plan on getting another job, BUT WHERE AM I SUPPOSED TO WORK? I obviously suck at retail work/selling things. There really isn't much else to do.
Anyway, this is just thoroughly depressing.

( This is lame poetry. )
In other news,
1. I'm making a new layout for my portfolio, featuring teen angst. I like it.
2. I used the cash register at work today! And I am scared of my boss, who is kind of scary looking when he's standing over your shoulder and teaching you how to rip receipts properly. I'm so afraid he's going to yell at me.
3. I love books. I'm picking up 7 items at the library tomorrow, consisting mostly of books and one or two CDs.
4. The weather is awful. It's soooo muggy and hot, I can't stand it. Today, I walked out of my wonderfully air-conditioned apartment and the minute I stepped outside, I was blasted by this unpleasant whoosh of heat. It was horrid.
5. I am starting to like The Pipettes, despite my previous hatred for them. They're always stuck in my head.
6. I am moving after all. But not to the place I was ranting about before. To another place, which I'm actually kind of excited to move to.
7. I know I hardly respond to any of your entries, but I read all of them. I just don't know what to say most of the time. Maybe I don't know you well enough to strike up a random conversation with you. I'm sorry.
8. I'M ALMOST DONE THOSE ICONS. SERIOUSLY. I'll probably get them up tomorrow/Wednesday/soon.

Recommend to me:

2. A book.
3. A musical artist, song or album.
4. A website.
5. An LJ user not on my friends list.
Leave a comment with your answers, then copy the questions and ask them in your own journal.
It's so humid today. I am sticky and feeling kind of vacant. I think it's from lack of water. My mom had to reinstall the whole computer, so I still have all my files but NO PROGRAMS. Including Photoshop. I'm starting to miss it, a little bit, since it's not there anymore. The cool thing is that I finally have Windows XP. YES. It is obviously cooler than Windows 2000, which I had been using until my computer broke down. Even though the XP screen looks so vast that I can't focus on the words that well.
I read The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants and I loved it. I love friendship-forevah!!!11 books that make me cry.
