horrible

Friday, August 31st, 2007

I can’t exist anymore
till I destroy you
I hate everyone
Don’t know what to do
Ingesting flesh and bone
makes me a cannibal
Or am I criminal?
I feel so horrible

Horrible!
Everything’s horrible
Horrible

Sucking on colorforms
Becoming see through
Still hating everyone
as I detest you
I do not feel wrong
This makes me terrible
Or am I criminal?
I’m so damn horrible.

Horrible!
Everythings Horrible
Horrible

Fade into yesterday
Searching for my youth
Try to digest it all
Searching for the truth
Self centered devil spawn
This makes me durable
Or am I criminal?
I’m fucking horrible.

Horrible!
Everything’s Horrible
Horrible

Horrible!
Everything’s Horrible
Horrible

Friday, August 31st, 2007

hey world, i have some advice to share with you, if you’d rather not have gish kill you:

1) chances are that gish fucking hates you, so fuck off and don’t come back.

2) don’t say you’re going to do something then not do it.

3) if you find you’ve done 2), apologize profusely. otherwise, refer back to 1).

4) do your own fucking work. i’m just as busy as you, if not more so.

5) your lack of foresight or lack of ability to do anything your damn self does not constitute an emergency on my part. if you make it so that it does, you’re pretty much fucked as far as i’m concerned.

6) if i am forced to work with you, you’d better do your own part, because it’s a thin line between “gish is doing everything and is irate about it” and “gish is furious and refuses to do jack shit.”

basically, if you’re alive, i wish you weren’t. if i have to deal with you directly, this is doubly true, and chances are that i hate you. i can think of about five people i like right now: you, you, maybe you, and… make that three.

yay iowa!

i guess i’ll just go back to the fatherland if i want to marry a girl.

road trip?

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

juchan and i were discussing the possibility of a road trip together, maybe next summer. we want to visit mum’s grave and see some relatives and stuff. so i looked at a map today after lunch, curious to see what the distance/time might be. wow. it’s funny how not far away it looked, but how long it will take. google maps suggested the interstate, like it always does, but fuck that i say. i want to drive through the south and midwest on the series of highways between here and there. and i was looking at other places i want to go, and wishing i could just take a month or two and drive. maybe next time i change jobs, i’ll do that first. i have to do something like that. i want to visit dad and go to asheville again and to missouri and iowa and a lot of places. we went on a trip out west when i was little. too little to really remember much. and then sohei and i took a trip around the south, but i was too sick to enjoy that a whole lot either.

looking at the map, i know i need to do this. i need to drive to missouri and visit mum’s grave, at the very least. even if i have to do it alone. maybe i can start saving for it. i just got a bunch of money for my birthday, and don’t have much to spend it on, since sohei won’t let me buy any more video games. of course, he probably won’t let me go on a road trip, either. but i have to, no matter what anyone says. the trip to tampa was kind of scary sometimes, but i did it. and i have to do this as well. besides, i want to see mum’s headstone, which i haven’t seen in person yet. it seems silly to fly somewhere to see a gravesite. but if i drove there, i could see a bunch of stuff on the way.

yes, a road trip must be taken by gish.

automatons and idiots

there is nothing that isn’t depressing the hell out of me lately. i guess the latest scandal was kind of funny, but everything surrounding it isn’t. my stomach hurts all the time, which in turn makes me wish i were dead all the time. or at least asleep. i’m tired of thinking about things and everyone disgusts me.

i’m going to bed. if there was any justice, i wouldn’t wake up.

limp-dicks

Friday, August 24th, 2007

this is about the stupidest fucking diary i’ve read on dkos in a while. and the comments are even worse. have any of you stupid fuckers ever worked in a call center? do you have any idea what it’s like? msrs aren’t fucking robots you elitist pieces of shit. they have feelings and are forced to use scripts for a reason, not because they enjoy it. i hope every person with this bullshit mindset loses everything someday and has to do this for a few months. then maybe it won’t be so funny to them.

here’s a hint, world: just because you can’t be arsed to read a contract doesn’t mean others should bear the brunt of your impotent anger when you realize you got fucked. limp-dicked morons.

28 today

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

decent day, except for a very upset stomach this morning.

boss got me a cake that actually had my name on it.

coworkers all wished me happy birthday.

husband got me super swing golf for the wii and the new smashing pumpkins cd, made me spaghetti (with mushrooms, but he actually served me my dinner, so i’ll overlook it), and will hopefully give me a back rub before the day is out.

and juchan texted me to say they were safe, though they got a direct hit from (category five) hurricane dean.

happy birthday to gish.

there is nothing that isn’t awesome about this.

ohhoho

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

i have discovered something new about myself recently: i am unable to take important things seriously. budget cut causing my main project (and reason for employment) to be done away with? hey, no problem. very bad fights with husband? oh, haha it’s fine, it’s fine. i mean, i’m still perfectly capable over panicking about things that aren’t problems yet. juchan leaves me a voicemail in the middle of the night without specifying what’s wrong, and i immediately draw the conclusion that the cancer has metastasized and she’s doomed. (she’s perfectly fine, and the cancer is still gone.) brumby starts coughing and i’m sure he’s choking on a piece of rawhide, but it turns out he just needs a drink. kind of like how i used to worry about being sick all the time, but then when it looked like i may have actually had a brain tumor, i felt pretty ambivalent.

maybe i’m really good at being in denial. but i don’t really deny that these things are happening… i just deny that they’re worth caring about? it’s this sort of thing that allowed me to go to class when my mum lay in the hospital dying. before now, i thought it was just something i did once in a while to keep myself from having panic attacks and being rendered totally useless. however, i’m beginning to see that this is not temporary. i’m not sure whether it’s a bad thing or not, and i guess i’ll just not worry about it until it causes problems. but it does look like a permanent personality trait. well, fine. i don’t want to be a panic-stricken mess all the time.

i was going to write a post defending a viewpoint, but after writing a couple of lines, i thought, why bother? if you can twist my words to think i stand for something which is the complete opposite of what i really think, no amount of argument on my behalf is going to make a difference. i think most sane people probably actually understand what i mean, and don’t bother making wild assumptions based on a random post or two. if it makes you feel better about your life, fine. you obviously need more validation than you’re ever going to find here.

also, going on at length about how people must take your blog and what’s contained within as they find it, or leave, and then complaining at length over something (imagined, no less) said at mine, makes you look about as crazy and self-absorbed as you really are. i suggest you take your own advice and stop reading things that upset you so. i’m no more likely to change my content based on possible injury to your feelings than you would be. that’s kind of your problem, though, isn’t it? you’re special (even if you have to invent ways to be) and so you have no problem expecting something of others that you’d never expect to be held to yourself.

so, read here if you must, but be warned. i’m petty and bored, and i will write vague entries about things that will bother you on purpose. and, yes, i’m talking about you.

(unless i’m not, in which case, disregard this entry.)

um. my control panel is very different now. prettier, i guess, but slightly more of a pain in the ass to use. hum.

aaanyway, the reason i was there in the first place was to upload this:

which will be going on my desktop first thing monday morning.

oh, and i also got the $5 planner i’ve been looking all over for. today was a total success.

saturday afternoon quizzes

You are Flat Sandals


Casual yet flirty
You look great in a simple top and jeans
Your look is approachable and cute!
What Kind of Sandal Are You?

You Are Not Prejudiced


Not only are you color blind, but you’re also ethnicity blind, gender blind, and sexual orientation blind.
You don’t judge someone until you truly know them. And even then, you’re probably reluctant to judge.
You try to treat everyone equally. Everyone has a fair chance with you.
Good job – there’s not a prejudiced bone in your body.
Are You Prejudiced?

i don’t know if i’d say that… everyone’s prejudiced to some degree.


There’s Not a Violent Bone in Your Body


You’re cool and collected, even when someone really gets under your skin.
And while you don’t blow up when you’re angry, you know how to express your anger calmly.
You don’t bottle emotions up or let them get out of control. For you, violence would never be an option.
Could You Be Violent?

i think sohei would rather i smack him than just walk away like i do…


What Your Pizza Reveals


You have a hearty appetite. You are likely to complain if a restaurant has small portions.

You consider pizza to be bread… very good bread. You fit in best in the Midwest part of the US.

Your taste in food tends to favor what’s rich and comforting. You prefer food that will definitely satisfy you.

You are generous, outgoing, and considerate with your choices.

You have many conflicting and complementary layers to your personality. You should consider traveling to Australia.

The stereotype that best fits you is guy or girl next door. Hey, there’s nothing wrong with being average.

What Does Your Pizza Say About You?

i really want a pizza now.

i’m so awesome

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

work has been very good. my project is, i think, finished for now. though i was told today that there are 60 more boxes to go, coming in increments of ten. and i guess someone wants it done by the end of august and my boss was telling me not to worry because he doesn’t seriously expect me to get it done that fast. and i was like, why not? i’m awesome! (that’s my new catchphrase.) i can totally get it done by then. he didn’t believe me, which is probably good, coz i guess i can’t really get it done that fast, but still. it’s good to appear confident, right? something about this job (or maybe a summer alone) has done a lot for my confidence and self esteem. i really do feel like i can do the impossible, and i’m not afraid to say so. on the other hand, i’ve also become more of a bitch, i think. i don’t hold back when i’m feeling optimistic, but i’ve also become less likely to bite my tongue when someone or something is pissing me off.

but lest you think i’ve gone all extrovert suddenly, i’d still much prefer to kick ass in the subbasement rather than rock faces at the circ desk. while the clientele is much better than the previous batch – for the most part – i would way rather be alone and listening to my mp3 player, away from prying eyes, where i can wear my lip ring (yes, my supervisor got permission for me, and i can wear it as long as no one complains) and kerchief (i can wear it as long as i’m not at the desk).

despite being insanely sore all week, i am still feeling invincible. we got new pillows and a mattress pad, which has helped with the soreness a lot. but no matter how crappy i feel, it all still gets done somehow. and then i come home and do more. i feel like a new person. i never would have thought i was the kind of worker who actually cared about doing a good job and working hard. i never thought that i’d wake up feeling like i wanted to stay home, and not only go into work anyway, but not drag my ass once i get there. i know all these work posts sound a lot like bragging, but i’m really amazed at the change in myself.

also, at one of the many meetings i went to today (okay, there were only two, but it felt like a lot), i got volunteered to research the feasibility of access training, and also to train staff on html. this was the first meeting i’ve ever been to for this committee, and i’ve already got a full plate. i’m excited about it, though! i used to dread this stuff. but i’m going to be running a training session. how cool is that? the chairguy asked if i’d look into the access thing, and i said sure, and then he asked if i’d worked with it for school, and i said i hadn’t worked with it at all. but it was okay because i can do anything, you know? i’m great like that. (unfortunately, i don’t think any of these people know me well enough to know i’m actually a puddle of insecure goo, so they may all actually think that i think i’m completely full of myself. fortunately, i’m too awesome to care what they think.) so i’m going ahead with it. then html training was brought up, and he asked if i wouldn’t run the session for that, and i was like, okay, i know i said i could do anything, but standing up in front of people is not one of those things. i couldn’t let everyone think i was less great than i’d claimed, though, so i agreed to do it. besides, some people are under the impression that i’m a web developer with mad skillz. (i wonder where they came up with that idea?)

so it was a(nother) very good day. and, also, usf gave me a $1000 grant for the year, just because. seriously, i didn’t apply for it, so i don’t know why they gave it to me. because i’m so awesome, i guess.

quizzes during driving school

Saturday, August 4th, 2007

each section is timed and i finish them with plenty of time to spare, so…


You Are a Liberal Lady


Like Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore, you don’t shy away from your liberal causes.
You may consider yourself a feminist, and you definitely trust your heart to tell you what’s right.
You are likely to have a million issues you care about – and not nearly enough time to devote to them all.
Are You a Liberal Lady or a Conservative Chick?

You Are 67% Independent


You’ve cultivated your own indepedent interests and personal style.
But you’re open minded enough to also embrace anything trendy that strikes you.

You’re a Window Shopper!


You know that shopping’s a blast, but you prefer to save your money
You hardly ever give into an impulse buy, unless it’s a total steal
You’ve always got the most money of your friends – and you never have to borrow
And you’ve got a nice wardrobe too … of classic pieces that last years!
Do You Shop More Than Most Women?

You’re All Grown Up


Congratulations, you’re living in the adult world now.
Even though it may have been difficult at first, you’ve taken responsibility in your life.

Is it Time for You to Act Like a Woman?

w00t.


You Were Nice This Year


You Were 35% Naughty, 65% Nice

You Should Be a Fiery Redhead


Bold, head turning, and sure to show off your skin and eyes.

From temples to tofu to tech toys, you’ll have trouble fitting everything in!

Suggested destinations: Hong Kong, Tokyo, Thailand, Australia

Where Would Your Dream Guy Take You on Your Honeymoon?

You Are an Indifferent Ex


You’re not one of those girls who thinks about her exes – or even remembers them
“Love ‘em and Leave ‘em” is your motto. And your break ups tend to be a clean break.
It’s a nice strategy to have, and guys appreciate your total lack of emotional baggage.
But just a little reminder: it is okay to remember the good parts of your past, even with exes.
What Kind of Ex-Girlfriend Are You?

ugh, not mine.


Your Fragrance Profile

oh yeah, nothing’s sexier than lavender. unless you’re 80. and pine? ick. why don’t i hang a car air freshener around my neck?


You Aren’t A Diva


You don’t like to cause a fuss or draw attention to yourself.
You’re easygoing, and you can even put up from diva behavior from others.
This makes you everyone’s favorite trusty companion.
But watch out – it could also make you their favorite doormat.
Are You a Diva?

Your Style is Sassy


Your date outfits are flirty and fun – and make guys smile
Occasionally you’ll take a fashion risk, and it will pay off
You’re up for flashing an inch or two of skin
But your general rule is to leave most of your bod to the imagination
Is Your Date Fashion Style Classy, Sassy, or Trashy?

ugh. this stupid class wouldn’t take so long if each section wasn’t timed. there are two timed breaks and i always have to wait for the stupid timer to count down before i can move forward. this last time, i’ve had to wait 30 minutes… the whole reason i didn’t go to a live class is coz i didn’t want to waste half a day on it. at least i got to do this at home on the couch in a t-shirt. hopefully, i’ll pass the exam and be done with this crap. (aside from mailing in the certificate.) blah.

too tired for anything but quizzes

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007

You Will Be a Cool Parent


You seem to naturally know a lot about parenting, and you know what kids need.
You can tell when it’s time to let kids off the hook, and when it’s time to lay down the law.
While your parenting is modern and hip, it’s not over the top.
You know that there’s nothing cool about a parent who acts like a teenager… or a drill sergeant!
Would You Be a Cool Parent?

You Are Not a Gold Digger


You go out of your way to take care of everything in your life.
Including money – which you’ve got plenty of, thank you very much.
And you have no intentions of being a trophy girlfriend for some bald guy.
Just make sure that hottie you met isn’t scheming to be your boy toy!
As a successful woman like you knows, gold digging goes both ways these days.
Are You A Gold Diggin’ Woman?

Not a Jealous Bone in Your Body


You’re secure, trusting, and giving with friends and lovers
And while you may have been hurt before, you’ve bounced back
You’re generally happy with your life – and no one’s grass is greener than yours
One word of caution: some may see your lack of jealousy as indifference!
Are You A Jealous Woman?

it’s true. sohei thinks i don’t care enough about him to worry if he’s up to something. ^o^


You Are Mostly Secure


In general, you feel confident and together.
But the wrong thing can happen, and all of a sudden, you’re not feeling so secure.
Luckily, your insecurities don’t last long… at least, not usually.
So the next time you’re feeling insecure, try to snap out of it – and remember the confident woman you are!
Are You An Insecure Girl?

You Are Downtown


You’re a funky spirit that requires freedom to live.
Your city girl persona needs adventure, diversity, and great pizza.
Are You An Uptown Girl or Downtown Girl?

He is a Man


You have yourself a perfect gentleman and a total keeper
Your guy almost always acts appropriately
He’s probably even very upstanding when you’re not around
There’s no boy left in your boyfriend – he’s all man!
Is He A Boy or a Man?

well i should hope so. he’ll be 30 in a week.


You Are An Introvert!


You’re not necessarily anti-social, but you do tend to need a lot of alone time.
You tend to think before you talk, which doesn’t make you the loudest person in the room.
While you aren’t outgoing, you are a good listener – and you tend to be a loyal friend.
And you enjoy your friends as much as any extrovert does, in smaller doses.
You’re more of a conversation over dinner type than a party animal… and so are all your friends.
Are You An Extroverted or Introverted Girl?

really?


You Should Wear Black Lipstick


Confident, dramatic, and unexpected.

Your look: Gothic beauty

Your signature lip gloss flavor: Ginger

What Shade of Lipstick Should You Wear?

again, really?


Your Mood is a 7


You’re feeling pretty good, but not perfect. Your mood is on the high side of average.
How Does Your Mood Rate?

You Make a Good First Impression


You probably are making a much better impression than you realize.
Social situations can be a bit awkward for you at times, and you tend to over think what you say and do.
If you make a social faux pas, you remember it a lot longer than anyone else does.

Just relax and do your best. There are little things you can do to improve your social image.
Express more of an interest in the people around you, and be a good listener.
The secret of fascinating people is that they find everyone else fascinating!

What Kind of First Impression Do You Make?

i’m not good enough at acting to pretend i find everyone fascinating…


You Are Picky When it Counts


Like most sane women, you want a great guy who will treat you well.
But you’re also willing to put up with a few flaws in your Mr. Right
You should congratulate yourself on having a realistic approach to dating.
You probably have quite a few great guys you can date!
Are You Too Picky When It Comes To Men?

You Should Stay in Shape with Swimming


You require something that’s both serene and challenging.
Swimming is the perfect way for you to do your own thing and escape for a while.
Swimming will give you that perfectly toned, curvy body you desire.
How Should You Get Your Curves In Shape?

yeah, or ddr.


Your Guy Is Not A Player!


At least, all signs point to “negative”
What your guy is: straight up, honest…
And a one woman man.
This one’s a keeper – so hold on to him.
Is He A Player?
