Forever.
Current mood: blah
It’s been forever.
But my schedule has been fucked.
Let’s begin.
Couple weeks ago, my boss went on vacation. I’m... kinda paranoid and don’t want people getting into trouble, so I’m not using names. Boss went away on a Wednesday. That Monday, a Co-Worker called, asking if I could come in a few hours early on Tuesday. So she and Boss could have one last bit of time together before he went on vacation.
The thing is, boss is married. He’s been having an affiar with Co-Worker for a long time. And I came in to cover so they could go do it. I felt dirty. But I got more hours.
Yes. More hours. Someone had the brilliant idea of giving me more hours. So basically I work almost every single day, including weekends, plus some day shifts, which I completely hate. I asked for this Sunday off, because Rarely Done Productions is having another play. That’s my life: Work, drama, and Drama.
I’m not sure what I’m complaining about. It’s not like I have anything that great outside of work. Plus I’m making pretty good money. I just like to bitch, I guess.
Plus I’m (trying) to save. I’ve decided I will most definitely be taking up the offer to live in NYC for two months. I have to. I have to get out. But I’m going to admit... I’m kinda nervous. Kinda scared. I mean, I’ve never spent more than a week away from home by myself, and that was camp. I’ll pause for a laugh break.
So yeah. Two months on my own. Working, living away. I’m also afraid I’ll love it too much and not want to ever come back.
Pretty much the most exciting thing that’s happened to me this past week and a half has been I’m able to dye my hair again. I asked Alicia if I get my hair cut short and never take off my hat, could I do something completely messed up to my head? Like dye it... blue? She said sure.
So I’ve got the stuff to do it. Itching to do it. Just need a goddamn haircut. I was going to go this morning, but... Well. It just didn’t happen.
I made the mistake of mentioning to my co-workers my fear of people in animal costumes. It’s all because of that goddamn motherfucking wretched scene in The Shining.
I was coming back to the shop from taking the cardboard down to its little area in the mall, when I saw the Easter Bunny display. And the Easter Bunny... dancing. With that great big fake smile and those giant, vacant eyes. I froze. My mouth went dry. Nausea kicked in, heart rate increased. I moved on. Told my co-workers. They thought it was just hilarious. Couple days later, I’m up front, when Zack calls "HEY, EASTER BUNNY!" and the bunny starts coming over. I start for the back, but Zack waps his arms around me to keep me in place. I keep going, dragging him into the kitchen, still attached. Pretty pathetic, I must say. But I don’t care. I don’t do people in animal costumes. Or clowns. Ughh...
I had a whole bunch of crap I wanted to update about, but that’s pretty much all i can remember. Ah well.
Until next time.

A sound of thunder?
Current mood: groggy
So yeah. There's a storm. Thunder. Of the house-shaking variety. Lightening, too. It's gotten me all discombobulated. Thunder storms in January. Er, February.
I'm already slightly discombobulated. I've been up all night. Finishing some gloves. I've reached a new low in my sad loserdom, I found a knitting podcast. I won't tell you if I subscribed or not.
But anyway, it's Super Tuesday. I'm pretty goddamn super excited. Well, off to bed. Or at least I should.

So I lied.
I swore I wouldn't make any more blogs completely devoted to Sweeney Todd. But here's another one!
I found this review of the movie. Aint it Cool News isn't the most unbiased place, but this has got me even more hyped up.
They pointed out how great the kid playing Tobias is. Tobias has always been my favorite chracter, I thought it would be... weird having him played by a child, but I can see it working.
Gah, I want to see the "Pretty Women" scene.
December 21 needs to be here now.

How could I forget.
Category: Blogging
I came home from work early. Again. Ugh, slowww.
Dad told me to close my eyes, then he plopped something in my eyes. My stuff that didn't come in time for my b-d.
It was the first 2 seasons of Tales From the Crypt. I was so fucking excited. It's the happiest I've been in so long. I can't believe how happy I was. I tore into those bitches. Looked at the episodes. I wanted to start watching right then and there. So many great childhood memories. Staying up on Saturdays to watch them. Man, I fucking love this show.
Started to read Godchild, the uber goth manga Nikki got me. I like it lots. Pretty chracters. Why can't more people look like manga characters?
I went to knitting club. Sounds lame. It is. But I finished up a sleeve on the sweater I knitted mom last year. It's been in pieces this whole time. Found out I can crochet the seams together. Super easy.
I'm thinking about ordering stuff from Amazon. I've been wanting to read some Jane Austen. I watched Sense and Sensibility last week. Love Alan Rickman even more. On this Brain Age thing for the DS, they have selections of classic literature to read. It tests how long it takes you to read the passages and all that. There have been two Jane Austen pieces so far. I love her style. I want to read all of her work. I've been meaning to read more classics. I can start at last. Although I have Vanity Fair someplace. I love bitchy women in fiction. Gosh.
Went to FYE to waste some money. I wanted the OBC Sweeney Todd. Didn't have it.
Gah. This is pathetic. Blogging about crap I want to buy. Ugh, sometimes I hate myself.
Must stop now.
I should probably get some sleep. I'm tired. Didn't do much at work, so I shouldn't be, but I am. I feel oddly hyper, too. Tired, and hyper. Hrm.

Seeing red.
I went out to get a drink and remembered I needed to put my cake in the fridge. Cream cheese frosting and all.
But the thing is... I ended up cutting a piece for myself.
It's the most red Red Velvet Cake ever. Best frosting ever. I kind of want to do bad things to the cake.
I'd take a picture, but I'm too lazy.
It's soo pretty.

Nothing’s gonna change my world.
Current mood: blah
Category: Blogging
So I had today off. Slept a lot. Saw a movie.
I'm very bipolar about work. Some days I love it. Some days it's just okay. Some days it's fucking awful.
Friday was fucking awful. Not even going to get into it, just that it got super backed up, and I got completely bitched out for supposedly not working hard enough and being lazy, when I didn't even take a break when I was told to. Oh well.
But it's over. It's past. Gone. Poof. Over it.
I have Friday off. I have my whole... jury summons thing. I'm hoping to go see a play that night. Rarely Done Productions is doing Baby With the Bathwater. Very much want to see it. Ends Saturday. I also want to see Misery. Syracuse Stage is doing it. Ends the 11th of November. Not sure if I should just see them both or what. But I have to decide soon.
I'm in a very play-mood. I want to see some theatre. I can't wait for The Lieutenant of Inishmoore. SU is doing Sweeney Todd. I just found out there's a revival on Broadway of The Ritz. It's a farce (you know, lots of slamming doors, mistaken identity, etc) about a guy on the run from the mob who goes into hiding in a bathouse. Man I want to see it.
I saw Across the Universe today. I liked it a lot. Sure, some bits fell severely flat. Didn't really like the "Come Together" scene. Reeeeeally didn't like "Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite." I never really liked the song to begin with. I always pictured it being about a town of completely batshit psychos, like Royston Vasey, only everyone is like Tubbs and Edward. I always heard the song and saw this bleak circus, in scratchy black and white, jumpy film, like a slient, with lots of poofs of smoke and stuff. Hmm. But the rest was pretty decent. I was slightly let down by "Hey Jude", but I was expecting so much. Jim Sturgess is a babe, I've decided. Joe Anderson should be Bill in the last HP movies. The movie actually made me sorta like Bono for five minutes. It took a while for the crazy Taymor visuals to kick in, but they did. I loved "With a Little Help From My Friends," the first real musically moment of the movie.
I really wish life was a musical sometimes. SIGHHH
The movie ended and I came out and the whole movieplex was just dead. No one at the concession stand, no one in line, at the ticket booth. Went out, the sky was death-gray, no traffic on the road. So... quiet. I had this whole idea of some sort of disaster happening while I was in the movie and not knowing what was going on. But it lasted for about a second.
Work tomorrow. I have to get some sort of wishlist to my parents for stuff I want for my birthday. Zzzz. I don't even really care. But I feel like I should. Eh.

Sheesh.
Current mood: blah
I freakin woke up late. Really late. Didn't want to get up at this time.
But oh well.
I've been trying to get up early lately. Not working.
Looking for another place to work. Cut down on my hours at Avicolli's, maybe eventually just leave.
Got an application for Waldenbooks. That'd be awesome if I got that.
I'm just sick of Avicolli's. Already. The other night I was told how the dough I made was screwed up. I'm pretty sure the batch that was screwed up was made Tuesday, my night off. I didn't say anything, though. So I had people hovering around me, making sure I didn't fuck anything up. Got highly old fast.
I want a place that has nothing to do with food. Less chances to fuck things up. I'm just... ugh. I don't know. It's not so bad. It's just, I want something else.
I don't know.
But I should get in the shower.

Birfday.
Current mood: blah
So yestersay my mother asked me what I want for my birthday. I told her I don't know.
I've told everyone I wanted music, but I've gotten all the new albums I wanted. Well, album. I couldn't wait for PJ Harvey.
I'll be 22. I feel like I should want something profound. All I want are DVDs and CDs and video games.
One thing I know I want is a motherfucking Red Velvet cake. It's only my favorite cake ever, and the last time I asked for one, it wasn't even red. I didn't make a big thing out of it, but dammit, I want it to be blood red, even if I have to make it myself.
I got Fangoria today and was flipping through it (I really need to switch to Rue Morgue) and I saw an ad that the final season of Tales From the Crypt is coming. I keep meaning to start collecting those. Tomorrow maybe I'll get the first season. And then ask for a couple formy birthday or for Xmas.
Or... the second Bette Davis collection. Or that awesome Stephen Sondheim boxed set. But that's way expensive. Or... maybe some crap for my DS. Ugh. I hate making decisions.
I just really hope I can get out of jury duty, so I won't be stuck in trial on the day I was birthed. Who can I ask for that juicy present?

So on the way home tonight, this song came on and I creamed myself. I haven't heard it in years and I forgot how much I used to love it. Well, still love it I guess.

Splotchy.
I was just i nthe shower and as I was washing, noticed how I'm bruised all over.
Have I crashed into that many things at work?
But I think the bruised look works for me.

Got paid today! Woo hoo.
Even though half of it will be going to my parents. I owe them a few things. Must get some clothes too. And a phone. Hmmm...
I hope I don't have to go in tomorrow. I forgot to ask. And no one told me. And other people seemed to know they had to go in. Crap.
