Harvest Moon.
I got a new DS game! It’s called Harvest Moon! Yay!
Gentil and I were out and about for like seven hours today, just generally doing stuff and shopping. It was a lot of fun. =)
I’m going to go and play my new game now. Cheerio! (That sounded less gay in my head.) (No offence to any gay people out there.)
Ooh, and I bought stuff today! For my secret project, muahaha. *grin*
My Babies Are Growing Up So Fast!
Katie and Tiffany started back at school today; I can’t believe they’re in Grade 3. Things were so crazy in the morning that I didn’t even get to take pictures of them! Katie had her hair chopped off to chin length, and I wanted to get pictures of her. Alas, they were running around as if they were on speed, all “Oh my gosh, my friends, I love you guys! Another friend! Hi! I love you, I’ve missed you, oh my god!”
They were pretty good as far as letting go of me went; Katie thought about clinging and crying for a minute, but she changed her mind when I told her she might miss out on a seat. Tiffany was all like, “Um, why are you looking at me? Stop embarrassing me, you stupid woman.” Then she rolled her eyes and flicked her hair at me. Damn children, think they can get away with acting like that towards me. *mumbles*
Anywho. I don’t really have anything left to say. I’m really tired after only two hours sleep last night, and I had to work as well. So, I shall post this entry and continue reading my new webcomics. And drooling over Diigo’s pretty interface and awesome features. *cuddles Diigo* I can totally see me sneaking Diigo out the back door when I hear Gentil get home, one hot summer afternoon. *winks* Just kidding, honey. *cough*
Diigo Is Awesome.
Well, I joined up to Diigo last night, and so far it has everything I wanted in a social bookmarking site. It’s fantastic, and easy on the eyes. I love it, and have imported all my bookmarks into it already. Hopefully it continues to function this well.
I honestly don’t know what to write about; today was average. I slept in a bit, and now I’m at Mum’s, staying over to help get the girls ready for school tomorrow. It’s their first day back tomorrow. Grade 3! I can’t believe it.
Meh, really short entry today. I just don’t feel like writing much of anything.
Similarities, Psychic Customers and More Social Bookmarking.
I worked with E today (I can’t remember if I used her real name elsewhere or not, but from now on, she’s E), and the similarities between us are just scary now.
She had her hair cut short for high school (although she chose to do that, her mother didn’t shave it all off), her mother is on a disability pension, her boyfriend would kill her if she cut her hair, and her boyfriend W used to have hair down to his ass (just like my boyfriend, back when he was a hippie-goth and not a preppy-goth).
Those are only some of the trippy coincidences. Everytime we work together there’s something else that has us saying, “Oh. My. God. Me, too! Trippy.” It’s rather cool, in a freaky, are-you-stalking-me kind of way.
Moving along. Finally, my customers have given me another important insight into my future. I had to give $10.10 in change twice tonight. Do you know how rare that is?Very rare. So rare that I had to use italics to emphasise it. So you know that shit is rare. *cough* Also, a customer returned Ratatouille and Evan Almighty; the very next customer I served was borrowing Ratatouille and Evan Almighty. I know.
It can mean only one thing: I am going to find myself repeating something over the next couple of days. Possibly two different things, possibly the same thing twice. Once again, my customers have successfully channeled my future and given me a glimpse as to when I’m going to make a fool of myself next! Thanks, guys. I owe you one.
I joined another social bookmarking site. Diigo. Because del.icio.us isn’t pretty enough, Ma.gnolia is slow as heck and still buggy, and Simpy is so basic it’s unusable. If only Google would make a social bookmarking site similar to Gmail; then I wouldn’t have to endure this trauma and suffering and terrible, terrible pain.
Okay, I’m done using italics and being dramatic now. Goodnight, everyone.
Headaches, Babies and Free Stuff.
I have a terrible headache as I write this, and I have no idea why. I didn’t drink today, and it wasn’t exceptionally noisy at Nicole and Anthony’s, so I’m not sure what’s going on, really. It’s just this terrible, throbbing ache right between my eyes, where your skin kind of crinkles when you frown, you know?
*sigh* Anyway. Today was a lot of fun, despite getting lost on the way there. If Gentil’s dad had listened to me, we wouldn’t have been, but what can you do, huh? Men will never listen. We finally arrived, even if we were a little bit late, and everyone was fine. Nicole and Anthony had invited some other people over, and surprisingly I tensed a little bit when I realised. I felt nervous immediately, and I had to consciously use the CBT to calm myself down. That was an odd experience; it has been a long time since I have actually had to think about using it.
I got to see Zita’s baby! Aww. She called her Shanelle (or Chanelle, or maybe even Chanel, I don’t know), and she is the cutest little thing ever. Absolutely adorable, and I got to hold her. *swoons* She made me all clucky, hehe. Zita looked really happy and healthy, which was good. Although her fiancĂ© was nowhere to be found. Meh. I’m not going to judge the guy. I know he doesn’t exactly get along with Nicole and Anthony, so maybe he just wasn’t in the mood.
You know, I had such great things planned for this blog post, but I just spent three million hours surfing a site advertising free stuff, and I forgot all about it. So I’m posting it and going back to look at it again. Because you can never have too much stuff. Ever.
Social Bookmarking: I Got It.
Today I joined del.icio.us, and Ma.gnolia; the first because I thought it would be an awesome way to manage my bookmarks and the second because I didn’t like the first site I joined. Despite some lag when managing bookmarks on Ma.gnolia, it seems to be performing well, and I find it a lot more user-friendly than del.icio.us.
So, today was spent sorting, tagging and re-sorting bookmarks. Not a very fun day, really. Still, it was rather productive, and I did get some cleaning done, so I can’t complain too much. It was my day off, and I’m glad that I got to spend some time just relaxing and not doing much of anything. I needed it.
Tomorrow we’re heading up to Nicole and Anthony’s for a barbecue before I have to go to work. It should be a lot of fun; I’m looking forward to it, even though it will cut into my internet time dreadfully. Socialising tends to do that; I think that’s why I have no friends. They’re just so high maintenance. All those phone calls, and events and such. =P
I’ll be sorting out how to put my recent links on Ma.gnolia into the sidebar soon, and won’t that be like, so totally awesome! Tee hee. I’m excited, anyway. It’s a cool feature: you know you all want to know what I’m bookmarking right now. *wiggles eyebrows* Yeah, I know. Not funny. Meh, that’s all I’ve got tonight people.
Ciao. =)
I Think Someone Jumped.
On our way to the pet shop today, we were diverted around a large sectioned off area of freeway, and we could see a police car further up. At first we thought there had been an accident.. until we realised there was no car, and there was an overpass right above it. I looked at Mum and said, “Someone jumped.” She nodded, and we took the detour, that passed right above the police car.
On the side of the road, right about where the police were parked down below, there were a pair of boots. It may have been coincidence, but I don’t think so. I think someone did jump off the overpass, and I wish I’d been able to take a picture of those boots. It would have made a very emotional scene; even thinking about it now makes me want to cry. I just don’t understand how someone could do that.
Even when I felt suicidal, I was never selfish enough to do that to my mother, or my siblings. I couldn’t stop thinking about them finding me, and then living without me. I guess I was lucky that I was so close to my family; they gave me something to live for. I’m thinking of whoever took their life today, if in fact they did, and of the family and friends they have no doubt left behind.
