This past Sunday, Jen and I went to McDonald's to eat some lunch after a quick shopping trip. As we're eating, I happen to look past her over her shoulder and at the kids in the Playplace. What the FUCK happened to the Playplace???? What was there was not a true Playplace. There was ONE friggin' tube there, and the kids weren't even paying attention to it. No, they were in the center of the room at the VIDEO GAME CENTER!! Uhm, hello? Kids, you can play your games at home..the point of the Playplace was to have fun in a jungle gym/carnival type environment I thought, after you were done eating, not to do what you do every damned day at home anyway. It was special, and sacred. Hell, there's not even a ball pit there anymore! Ugh, I was so disgusted I couldn't even look at the kids in there anymore, I was afraid I was going to go in there and yell at them to get off the games and enjoy what was left of the Playplace or to go outside or something and enjoy that! Kids these days..if it doesn't come with moving pictures, it seems like they're just not interested in it. Kinda puts the high post-HS illiteracy rates into perspective though, I guess. Anyway, I have a mission this summer. I'm going to look at some McDonald's restaurants that I know have Playplaces and see if any have even a halfway decent Playplace. I'm probably just setting myself up for a huge disappointment, but I have to see. And if I can't find any, well, then I will have eaten a lot of McChicken sandwiches (mmmm...) and will promptly begin weeping for the future.

Heh, I finally checked my email..someone sent me a LJ nudge saying I hadn't updated in 6 months. Lol, it really has been that long, hasn't it? Well, I'm updating now but I still doubt it'll become a regular habit. Still working on my Associate's degree, hopefully I'll get it sometime. =\ Still working 40+ hours as assistant deli manager at the shitty convenience store, and I'm still playing World of Warcraft non-stop almost. That's where all my free time really goes..very addicting. I'm still afraid to approach anyone that I find attractive, so it's been almost 2 years since I dated anyone. Jen and I are no longer talking, which is good..I think it was long overdue. Seems our friendship was really more about what she wanted..in other words, I was everything she wanted/needed when she wanted/needed it, but what I wanted/needed didn't really matter, just as long as I was still there. Eh, she's 21 now, doesn't need me to buy her alcohol anymore anyway. So yeah, been 2 months since we talked practically. I dunno, my life is just..in limbo at the moment it feels like. I need to figure out what I want before I can make any major changes to my life. I would like to drive, anywhere really, once the spring comes..love driving long distances in warm weather with the windows down. :)

You're a little gold key, and you unlock other

to be there for those you care about lets
people open up to you knowing they will be

careful not to give more than you have.
What sort of key are you and what do you unlock?

I fucking hate people. Like people who want me to come in on my day off and people who want me to work different hours the day before school. And especially people who lie saying how they can't go out of the house because of the snow, so I shouldn't pick them up, only to go out later with someone else. Fuck it all.

New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle |

October 7th was my last post? Damn, it's been a while..and all I'm really posting are quizzes, too. =\
Well, ok, quick update on my love life, I guess..sometime before Christmas I found someone who wanted to date me only for me to realize that while I am/was attracted to her, I didn't want to date her. Still want to date the same person I've wanted to date for a while though. It's good to be vague. :)
( Anywho, off to the thingees )
Anddddddd...that's about it.

Billy Idol - Cradle of Love |

Sometimes I do wish for the sweet release of death. LIfe is just so horrible right now..work sucks, its a horrible place with too many hours, too late hours, and too much to do. Plus, the pay is crappy. But unfortunately, I can't really get another job because of bullshit from Rite Aid. And all the work stuff is affecting my school stuff.
School sucks, too..because I don't think I'm cut out for all the Physics and Calculus that I need for my major. Sure, I feel I'm close and could do it (maybe) if I didn't have so much shit hanging over my head from work..but I have to work, otherwise I can't possibly pay for car insurance, gas, surcharges, and bills to my parents. So it sucks both ways. I have to go to school to get a job that I can use to pay off crap, but with my current job, I can't afford to go to school. Over the past week, I've certainly thought of..bad things. I mean, what's really stopping me? I'm stuck now as it is, and there's not much I can do about it.
The only thing that does stop me is Jen. I mean, yeah, she's only my friend (although I wish with all my heart it were more..), but thinking of her and how it would affect her makes me not want to. Not even the thought of how it would affect my family or my other friends does that. Just her. But she's still only my friend, and let's face it, that depresses me a bit, too.
Ugh..I shouldn't think about this right now..I'm going to find another job, and if I have to spend even longer in school, well, my dad can go fuck himself if he wants to give me a lecture. Hell, that'll probably make him want to stop paying for school, which will add more stress to my life, but it will be worth it, I hope. I still plan on going for my A+ certification, and if I can get a job that will pay me more, I can actually afford to do that. And if I get certified, I can use the money that the jobs I could get with that to go finish school. Perhaps I'll even change my major from computer engineering to something else in computers..something I like better and think I can do better. I don't know. I just want to cry at this point..and quit my fucking job.

Oy, today was the first day I've worked in a week. Now I'm all exhausted.
Vacation was fun, got to do some stuff I wanted to do, not everything though. And now because of my vacation I'm going to be broke for about a month. :) So lovely. Heh.
It was worth it, though. In spite of having to deal with my brother's attitude and feeling sorry for himself.
The best part about all of it is..I have another week's worth of vacation to take anytime by the middle of next May. :) Joy-gasm!

You know, there are times in my life where I believe that my only purpose is to be people's friend..to make them feel better..to help them through hard times..to be a shoulder to cry on. And I'm good at that. I like to make people happy. Doing that makes me glad. But when I want a relationship with someone so that maybe I can possibly be as happy as I make others, I can't have it. No one is willing to jeopardize the happiness I give them for that..and I'm too damned nice to be angry at them for that. Sure, I can get angry for that..but I get over it because everyone is different and have reasons for what they want. But when it happens over and over, regardless of the person but the same outcome, how am I not supposed to feel like I'm stuffed to the side, simply there to bring happiness to the people who feel they need me, while in no way considering how I need them? Ugh, so depressed..

I hate being lied to. More than anything else. Anyone who knows me knows that being honest with my will earn my respect and most likely my forgiveness. Lying to me to protect my feelings or to save yourself from guilt will do nothing more than piss me off royally, lose respect points, and hinder your chances for me to forgive and forget. Fuck you.

Well, a thunderstorm seems to have appeared out of nowhere (for me, at least), and with the sheer amounts of lightning and flash flooding, my ride home from work was quite interesting. First, I got about halfway home with no problems..but then I tried to get to Walnut Avenue from Lexington. Unfortunately, the curving street that connects the two ended up getting flooded at the stop sign at Walnut. And I mean flooded. See, I didn't quite understand why people were turning around in the street ahead of me, because I couldn't see an accident or anything. So, I just go driving along, lalala, until I finally see the lake that had somehow been dropped into the middle of the road and the 4 cars that were swamped in it. Of course, at this point I was pretty much right on top of the water, so I just said "Fuck it, I'm going through." It was fun having my boat of a car act like a boat..even though I did almost stall out, and that would have just been bad. But I made it through, laughing at the people who got stuck. Then I decided that I would never be able to make the left turn from the other side of Lexington onto Raritan. It turns out I was right, but I'll be damned if I didn't wish I hadn't gone down Walnut, because right near the bank I had to stop in traffic. And what happens as I'm stopped? A huge explosion and a great big, blue flash. See, it turns out a bolt of lightning hit the power transformer directly above my car. So as my car is being rained on by sparks from said transformer, I light a cigarette, attempt to keep my car from stalling, and do my best to get the hell out of there and home in one, non-smoldering piece. Needless to say, I made it home safe..but dammit, that was the most interesting drive home I've had in a long time.

Modern English - I'll Melt With You |
] |
OK, I should have posted this last night or this morning, but I was tired last night and I overslept this morning. Last night, Eric, Jen and I got into a conversation about Veronica, because of the dream I had the other day. Actually, it was Jen and I talking with Eric just sitting there on the table. As I was describing her to Jen, Eric kept making these disgusted faces and sounds. Now, Veronica was a pretty girl as far as I and others were concerned, and seeing him pass his judgement on her looks like that kinda upset me. It somehow got to the point where he said something to the tune of "I wouldn't have [slept with her]. I have standards." That set me off. First, it's not right for him to talk about her that way behind her back, and that comment was rather insulting to me, as well. It implied that I have no standards, either. So I came right back with "Yeah, and look where your standards have gotten you so far." That pissed him off enough to call me an asshole and go to bed, slamming the door. Now, I don't think I was wrong to say that. If you want to be an asshole and insult me, you should have no fucking right to get pissed when I do the same damned thing to you. Deal.

Ugh, I so should have posted this earlier this morning, so it was still fresh in my head..as it is, now I've forgotten most of my dream. I remember that I had a dream last night that involved Veronica calling me. Veronica of all people. She asked me if I was going to date her again. This is mildly disturbing to me because she and I never dated, and she and I don't talk anymore. In fact, I rarely think of her as it is because doing so makes me feel like I'm a shit for the way I treated her at the end of everything. Very interesting indeed..
But on a lighter note, I'm done with school for the semester! My final was tonight and I only needed to get a 55 on it to get an A..and I'm positive I got more than that :)
