( camera talk: where I am a dumbass and figured something out that has been bothering me )

( so called friends: where I stick my nose in where it doesn't belong )

Anyway I'm really tired of my friends tbh. I was never really involved because I'm single and I'm not invited because of it and it just makes me more and more irritated. I just realize more and more how little I mean to people. I'm not meant for friends. LONE WOLF, THAT'S ME. Oh well.

Does anyone have ANY decency or common sense at all anymore?

This site is especially fun for the idiotic relationship/marriage shmoopy (and REPULSIVE) statuses and messages: STFU, Marrieds. Endlessly entertaining. I visit every few days to so I can mock.

And the equally? bad: STFU, Parents.

You guys, assuming I ever get into a long term relationship again, if you see me heading down this path, I give you full permission to bean me with a blunt object and knock some sense into me okay? I likely won't because I have some privacy and I have no urge to let people know the exact moment I'm making out or peeing or something.

*no one on my Flist and on my Facebook is guilty of any of this, FWIW.

I had my friend Mike send me my hiking backpack from the UK (the one thing I just could NOT fit in my luggage). Easy peasy right? No big deal? Right.

I got it today (he sent it over a month ago) and it had California stamped all over it. US Customs was all up its ass.

Excuse me? How dare you?

Why the feck did it go TO AMERICA??? HELLO I'M ONLY DIRECTLY ACROSS THE OCEAN, THANKS POSTAL SYSTEM.

It was also in a different package as well so I assume they searched it. I hope the pencil case and extra pens and old Milka chocolate wrapper fulfilled the thrill.

I thought one of my 2GB camera memory cards was in it. It wasn't so I just checked my purse I used in London. It was there. Ooops.

My itrip is still missing however. That is the only thing that I lost on my whole *~adventure~*. I should be glad that was all but Goddamn. I love my itrip :(

I haaaaated Beth on Passions. And now the chick is in a Porn!!!! LOLZ.

Speaking of Passions, I um, started watching Days of Our Lives because Galen Gering is on it now. :/

Due to the economy, Oprah's Favorite Things episode was downsized to be more affordable...

(UM, I couldn't afford a $500 cashmere bathrobe in previous years either Oprah. Boo to you)

And the episode sucks this year. Memory boxes and holiday recipes. That's it. The poor people in the audience only got some nasty ass pumpkin pie instead of $$$ clothes, shoes, extravagant bath stuff and fridges with tvs in them.

It isn't even tasty pie!

Crazy Americans and your love of all things pumpkin! *dry heave*

Oprah! The fun of the show was seeing the crazy ass shit you love and seeing the audience getting it!

Fail fail.

Oh I love puppy cam. I could watch it all the time.

I now know why everyone says visiting London is awesome. It IS awesome.

When you're a tourist.

I've done so many fun things and it's so awesome not having to work (yet have a lot of £ in the bank) etc etc etc. I went to the Tate Modern, the British Museum, platform 9¾ at Kings Cross (tribute to Harry Potter!), Sunday markets....it's all so much fun. I'm doing the London Zoo and Phantom of the Opera this week.

Living in London with a longterm stressful job and a shitty house with shitty housemates sucks and blows. Visiting London rocks.

Oh my GOD.

Why do I have so much stuff?

What on earth did I buy here? I don't even know.

The only stuff I'm bringing back with me extra is like a bit of clothes...WHY does it seem impossible?

I've sold my printer and I'm giving away bedding....so it SHOULD NOT BE AS MUCH AS IT SEEMS, DAMMIT. HOW will I ever get this all back home with me?

*CRY*

It's actually impossible. I'm sitting here just overwhelmed.

Because of the constant reruns on tv here, I've gotten into three main shows like really badly. Bewitched (I know? Don't ask), ANTM and Criminal Minds.

Since CSI: Original Recipe managed to botch at least 3 characters after a great season, I refuse to watch it. Now Criminal Minds? SO GOOD. I can't believe I didn't really watch it at home. It's truly my favourite crime drama on tv. SO GOOD.

I loled at the Keith Carradine episode though - he was a prominent serial killer in it. I find it funny that he then went on to play a character on Dexter.

How is it possible for me to owe OVER 200 MOTHERFUCKING POUNDS in bills for TWO WEEKS in September for my old place?????

I'm going to lose it.

My ulcer is getting bigger and bigger and I'm really going to be sick.

Oh and after my (unfortunately) passive aggressive note to, you know, stop eating all of my goddamn food, I found it funny to suddenly discover a new jar of lemon spread and a new pack of butter in the fridge. Two of the items that had been eaten on me. I'm glad to know that a) my note made an impact at least and, b) it wasn't my imagination. If I were a spiteful person, I'd use up some of that stuff that was eaten on me.

Finally my new lens came in the mail. Sadly due to previous trauma today (see: previous entry) I couldn't play with it much. I do like it so far and I can't wait to use it more.

( I also bought... )

OMG DEXTER.

Omg I can't watch.

OH SHIT SON. OH SHIT SON.

Oh Jimmy Smits!

( home sick this afternoon and getting to watch it early = magic )

If ever there were a youtube video that captures my childhood it's this:


The Logdriver's Waltz.

It made walking on floating LOGS in the WATER look easy-peasy. And also fun. Hooray for cartoons!

I am both amused and warmed to the tips of my toes with nostalgia.

Though now the song will stick in my brain for at least 3 days.

I added a Firefox extension last night: a countdown to when I can reasonably go home.

It's too many days.

Today:

I was told I was a horrible teacher.

I had a half eaten apple thrown at my back.

I found a spider the size of a tea saucer in the tub.

There are so many flies in this fucking house, I swear someone is hiding a dead body.

I am in utter misery.

I am a pessimist.

I am negative.

Glass is half-empty...this is me.

I struggle a lot with making things easier for myself (which thus makes things harder) out of laziness and lack of motivation. Example: Today I moved and I figured I could empty my bags and go back to my old place and pack up the rest of my crap. Fine right? Wrong. Instead of begging people to help me, asking my friends (I have an awful pride streak) or even calling a goddamn cab, I decided to walk. My new place isn't all that far away from my former house, but it does take awhile lugging all of my things (I've been in this country for 8 months, HOW DID I ACCUMULATE 3X THE AMOUNT OF CRAP, I ASK YOU. AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY FURNITURE). I struggled and sweated. I was envious of those people I see all the time lugging stuff around and looking so composed - so unlike me. Me, a girl who overreacts to everything, struggles and whines to herself and generally makes things more difficult because I always look on the bad side of things.

As I went past the train station, the half way mark to my new place, a nice lady came up to me and asked if I was going straight along this particular road. I was. She offered to take one of my bags (I had a big backpack, two huge rolling suitcases and a bag on top of one of the suitcases). And she ended up taking my largest suitcase for me. I was so so appreciative. She was Australian and told me that she came back to London a few days ago and wished someone had done the same for her.

There needs to be more lovely people in this world like her to kick the asses of bitter people like me and remind us that things aren't that bad. I give people back money when they forget it in the self check out line at Tesco; I offer people seats on public transport; I try to make things easier for people I work with even if that makes things harder for me. But would I go up to a random person and offer to take their luggage like that? I HOPE I would but I don't know.

Oh and I still have to make a trip back to my old place tomorrow. Possibly 2 more trips for a total of 4. NICE.

Yeast infection?

I'm really loving Kings of Leon, Sex on Fire lately.

All jobs need a paid siesta period.

Yes.

There are many reasons why I want the XFiles to win this poll.

It'd be cool to see it on current tv and give famous people in attendance sort of a reminder of the show and what happened...it'd be cool if GA and/or DD were there or are watching or something. Even cooler if Chris Carter saw it. I can picture it now:

Some random person: Congrats on that Chris! It must have been great to see the X Files featured again. And what? Mulder and Scully had a baby? Why don't I remember that?

CC: Er...yeah.

SRP: What happened to him?

CC: I made Scully send him away. To a farm.

SRP: .... Oh.

So yes. It would be funny to me to see this clip among many others shown. Because oh yeah, the baby isn't important anymore. Whoops!
