Pointless Announcements
I'm home alone in the dark watching a scary movie. Yay!
Edit: I didn't catch up on PA before posting this, sorry for whatever happened Derek.

My actor friend did in high school. He was Flava Flav. He had access to the makeup (actor, remember) and it turned out really good. Though I guess it wasn't "blackface" because he did it for all of the skin he had showing.
Sorry about your friend, Derek.
Yes. You did the right thing not to.
It's like someone wearing a costume of you, and a bunch of people from another race pointing and laughing at how marginal and stupid they think you, look and are.
Let your common sense keep being your inner voice.
But it would be a farce like on Ghost World.
I read this a while ago and it's relevant, I think.
I thought her costume was great and the guy who punched her should've gone to jail (if that is indeed what happens to people who randomly make other people bloody) but the fact that I find the second picture with her friend in the cow costume looking distressed in the background funny probably makes me at least as bad of a person as a mild racist.
nvm
Already want to quit my new job after being there for only 2 hours today.
I applied to it on a whim when I was only getting 10-12 hours at Pizza Hut and never expected them to call back. When they did I said I'd try it because I was still not getting enough hours but in the last few weeks we've lost a bunch of team members and now I'm almost up to 30 hours a week. A 2nd job seems sort of pointless now, especially one that can only give me a few hours a week for just above minimum wage.
My social anxiety is making it difficult for me to actually quit though because I'm worried about what the manager there might think of me as silly as that sounds. I don't even know this chick so I shouldn't care but I do.
I will do it for you?!

Sorry to hear that, Derek. All the best to your friend!
That's terrible, I hope he gets well soon.
I thought I was going to have Friday after Thanksgiving off but now there's going to be a birthday party of 50 plus people so I can't not work. I'm gonna need all the hours I can get before my trip.
Motherfucker! My professor scolded me in an e-mail over some supposedly crappy work I'd done in my internship, and when I sent her the files once again she realised she had meant to bash someone else. Gave me a good scare because I knew I'd done everything very well and checked it a million times before submitting. She apologised, but still it was pretty shitty.
What a silly woman!
Derek, I'm really really sorry about your friend.
PA: I'm staying home from work tomorrow, Lucy has a chesty cold. It's not a chest infection yet according to the doctor, but I don't want it to develop into one. I don't think the boss was too happy, oh well.

YOUNG MAN FIGHTS FOR HIS LIFE
6th August 2012
A YOUNG man left fighting for his life after a serious assault remains in a critical condition in hospital. Shane Grogan (22) from Tuam, Co Galway underwent emergency surgery yesterday afternoon and remains unconscious in Beaumont hospital.
His father, Joe, said the family would continue to keep a vigil by his bedside in the hopes that he regains consciousness soon.
"We've met the surgeon again and there's no major change, but we are hopeful," said Joe.
"Shane is still unconscious, but we are hopeful of a slow but good recovery."
The Tuam businessman said the family had been overwhelmed by the support they have received since the attack in the early hours of Sunday.
"It means the world to us at this time. We will never forget your kindness."
Yesterday an 18-year-old man was charged in connection with the attack. Shane Byrne, of no fixed abode, was charged with assault causing harm.
Mr Byrne, originally from Dublin, has been living in Tuam since Christmas. He was arrested on Sunday and held in Tuam garda station overnight. The teenager wore a grey tracksuit and grey runners when he appeared at the special sitting of Galway District Court yesterday morning.
A request for bail was refused by Judge Gerard Furlong and Mr Byrne was remanded in custody to appear at Harristown court on Friday.
Shane Grogan had been walking his girlfriend home after a day at the races when the incident occurred at the Fairgreen on Milltown road at 3.30am on Sunday morning.
The GMIT graduate suffered serious head injuries and was taken to Galway hospital, but was transferred to Beaumont.
His parents Joe and Joan were joined by his sister Sarah who flew home from London yesterday on hearing the news.
Shane studied business at GMIT and has has been working in the finance department of Merit Medical in Galway city since 2010.

How is he doing, Derek?
His making a very slow recovery and they still don't know how much better he will get. He's very strong physically and mentally so I have a lot of faith in him.
That's awful, I don't understand why anyone would attack someone like that. The guy should be locked away forever, we don't need people like that. Hope your friend recovers Derek xx
Such scum. I really hope he gets his come-uppance and not just a cushty prison cell.
So awful, was it just a random attack? That is very scary. I really hope your friend recovers, Derek.
Where are you going?

I wish you could.
I still haven't worked up the nerve yet.
Sometimes my kids do things that just make my heart mush.
I let the younger kids stay up way too late last night because we were caught up in a movie. usually lily goes to be at 8pm, 8:30 the latest. The movie and then the talking about the movie wasn't over until 10:30ish last night and when I was putting the kids in bed Lily was over tired and decided she was sick and got to this whiney point that she started weeping, not crying, literally weeping.
I tucked her in and she wouldn't stop so I decided she just needed to fall asleep and went to take care of the other ones. Then I hear Gabriel in her room standing at her bed (she has one of those raised beds so standing you are right at her height when she is in it) and he is quietly comforting her while she continues to weep and giving her hugs and kisses and he brought her a pot from the kitchen because she said she had a tummy ache and an extra blanket. She didn't stop crying right away but he went back in several times until to comfort her until she fell asleep and it was so sweet.
I can tell when my wife has been watching Misfits too much cause she starts calling everyone twats and thinks its funny.

AWWWWWWWWWWW
Where are you going?
Hawaii!

The best quite I ever had I called my boss a cunt, gave her the finger and then got her other employee to walk off the job mid shift. It was a strange couple months working for a porn shop.

I keep talking about it with family and friends and they all keep trying to guilt-trip me into staying at this place, like I signed some sort of contract or something.
I don't know why I keep asking people about it. Probably the same reason why I'm having such a hard time quitting, because I'm too preoccupied with what people think of me. I think if I quit this a bunch of people will be disappointed in me. Something like that.
I'm going to be completely alone on Thanksgiving. I tried emailing the local homeless shelter about helping out, but I haven't heard back. Fuck.

Find some friends. I was going to work thanksgiving but I might have food with friends instead.

Of course I didn't stay half-sober last night, but at least I didn't embarrass myself.
I'm also coming down with a bit of flu and my nose is runny and I only slept an hour and a half and I just wanna curl into a ball and sleep forever.
I could seriously go for some McDonalds chicken nuggets right now. I don't even like them, but they would hit the spot right now.

You make everything so much harder than it has to be.
I could give a goddamn less about Thankgiving but still know how deeply this sucks.
I'm sorry hunny.
*hug*
Come here and we will spend it with you, we will.
*hugs* *Hugs*
I am Thankful that Chenoa is such a strong woman and that her little angle Xander is his mothers son.
And I do not need a turkey for that.
There are many free meals available, in my experience, for Thanksgiving.
growing up I spent many of mine at a soup kitchen. there are good people there. Do not be afraid to go.
Love to Chenoa! You shouldn't have to be alone on Thanksgiving.
PA - I have a Christmas dinner organized by the university next Friday, and I need a dress. ASAP! Job-related Christmas dinners are a huge deal here, and I have nothing to wear! Either a dress or a skirt! Please! I've been looking around in the stores already the past week or two, and have tried things on, but I haven't found anything to my liking yet. I'll give it a try again after work, and tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
I'ma a littel drunk. Because that is what I do anymore, just drink the shit away.
But I just realised, not realised but accepted, some things.
yep.
.....................
Imke, you are such a wonderful person for understanding, for Chenoa, even though you are not from here.
I realised things I wish I could just put all here, but they are not for here.
But, they will make things better. Because at the end of the day, what was assumed lethargy is actually maturity. I didn't know anything about that until it happened. I do not know which way the better will go, but I am ready for whatever way needs to be.
I'm fucking crying.
ha
Also, those giant fish I have?
they are fucking with each other again. Slamming into each other, fiercely.
I hope you're okay Pepper x
yeah.
I am not okay.
But you know? that is not permanent.
they are fucking with each other again. Slamming into each other, fiercely.
Let them.
We are here for you Pep.
Listening to eighties love shit on repeat may or may not be helpful. But then most things I do are not.
But i am who i am and it is not completely about whether I am happy or not. If you love someone it is about whether they are happy too. If I never change will he be happy?
I slept for 3 hours and a half and it was glorious. Last night my nose was clogged and I couldn't breathe so I only slept 2 hours.
Try churches, there are probably more of those than homeless shelters and they always need help with Thanksgiving.
Checked my grades this morning and three out of four are in so far. One A, one B, and one C. No real surprises on any of those. I am expecting a B in my final class, which is Concept Drawing, but I might be able to squeeze out an A.
ha
Cheer up. You have giant fish to entertain you. And booze
Oh and I had a crazy dream last night. Let me tell you
So it was 28 days later style Zombie infection. At a kids hospital, during a cotume party. It was scary as hell because the kids kept were getting infected and it was in a crowded hospital. Try bashing a kids head in who is trying to kil you but dressed as a lion...

I keep trying to tell my "Last night i had a dream a hamburger was eating ME" joke but it won't post because i guess i've used that joke too many times and the Cult thinks it's spam. Or just not funny. But last night i had a dream a hamburger was eating ME.
When you wear special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions on a sesasme seed bun, you're asking for it.

That's terrible. Senseless violence.
