Here is a random bunch of small paragraphs that have nothing to do with each other.

I decided tonight that I’m going back on my pills. Obviously I can’t be trusted to be sane while off of them, otherwise I pull my hair out and cut myself like an angsty emo kid. Bring on the tight jeans and the Dashboard Confessional CDs; I’ll dye my hair black and slick my bangs into my face.

The new computer is running swell. At the moment I’m downloading some stuff and trying to configure things the way I like them. Not included in the downloads is any sort of instant messenger program or cam program. I’m going all antisocial, baby.

Saturday Eddie and I are going out and about. I know that we’re hitting the Arcade because neither of us has ever been, and then the evening is up in the air. Sunday we’re going to Mom’s house for dinner, where I’ll hopefully get to so some work on my crocheted skirt.

I’m home at the moment. I decided to send Eddie to work on his own and not go into school today because I just didn’t want to get out of bed on the first day in 9 months that I’d have the chance to not be required to go anywhere. Instead, I present to everyone my weekend in review.

Friday night: came home with most of a cake from work. Watched TV, played FFXI, chatted with people online. I avoided in-game drama by not logging into the linkshell group, thus enjoying a quiet night to do my own thing for a while.

Saturday: Spent the morning unlocking one of the new jobs in FFXI on my own while Eddie was at work. I also managed to have a conversation with one of the linkshell officers about how I didn’t feel like I belonged in the group, since I’m tied with Eddie as the lowest in the group, don’t feel very welcome, nor do I feel like anyone particularly likes me. He told me that my fears are only fears and not the truth, and that I just need to work on advancing myself. Eddie came home and surprised me with an afternoon quicky, then made some dinner for us. I snuggled with Eddie on the couch for a while, then logged back into the game for about 45 minutes before going to the bedroom to watch SNL and go to sleep.

Sunday: We got up early because yesterday was the opening day of the flea market and we were determined to find interesting crap to buy. Fearing the blazing sun and my pale skin, I wore long sleeves, but neglected to cover the back of my neck and the open area on my chest, so I’ve got the first burn of the year. My mother found a handful of books and a painted “Welcome” slate with a pyramid of penguins on it. She also bought me a big wicker basket full of yarn for $3. The basket itself would probably go for about $10 in a store, easily. In addition to having an assload of this weird red yarn (we think it’s nylon), it also had a bag of assorted trim and a small figurine in the bottom, hidden under the yarn. I spent yesterday afternoon crocheting a ladybug from some of the red. I’ll probably make a lot of ladybugs out of it, assorted sizes. Eddie grilled up some steak and we were all happy and full. We came home, and I uploaded a bunch of pictures to my Flickr account. Once I get a job I can buy a pro account and be able to organize them, and that will make me very, very happy.

Today? I’m sitting around in a breezey tunic, listening to MP3s, making some new graphics for my homepage, and possibly dying my hair. Eddie will be picking up some stuff from work to make for dinner tonight, and I’m gonna slather myself with some lotion and fill out some online applications for pharmacy tech work.

The last few days are a blur. This is strange,s ince we really didn’t do anything.

Saturday we stayed home and played FFXI. I worked on my skirt, which turned out great but just needs to be modified slightly. Unfortunately, while trying to remove a pin I came very close to actually sewing my thumb to my skirt after impaling myself with the machine’s needle. Eddie and I had a couple of missions to finish up in the game, and so we gathered up a party of 6 and managed to kick the shit out of everything. We then got a tour of a newly accessable area, explored a bit, finished another short quest for maps of the new areas, and logged off for the night. I messed around with some screenshots, chatted a bit, and we headed into the bedroom just in time to see Antonio Banderas claim to be a woman named Guadalupe on SNL.

Yesterday we went to my mother’s, where we had chicken wings, watched a few hours worth of Mythbusters repeats, and watched the last hour or so of Nascar. We had dinner and chatted with Danielle and talked about going to see the Lipizzaner stallions in a couple of weeks. I was exhausted for some reason, so when we got home I surfed the web a bit, and then we watched Crossing Jordan. Last night one of the neighbors decided that 11pm was the best time to play their Spanish music, and so I fell asleep trying to ignore the terrible beat. Then I woke up at least twice because I was having nightmares that Eddie left me.

Today Eddie didn’t need to be in until 8am, so we slept in an extra hour. I didn’t need to be in until 10am, so I bought a book and sat in the car for a bit until it was time for me to go in. Today was better than it has been. While I was working up front on the register for half the day, once the other newbies came in I got to go in the back and actually fill some scripts for a couple of hours before taking over the drive through again because it got busy. My feet barely hurt during the day, although right now my entire lower body aches. We stopped on the way home and got hot weiners for dinner because Eddie was craving them.

All in all we’ve had a pretty damned good weekend. Last night we went to Mom’s house for dinner, but not before Eddie took me to Rumford to play with the puppies. We played with the most adorable little pug who was smothering us with kisses - kisses which promptly set off my allergies and had my neck and chest all red within 30 minutes. We also got ourselves some yummy lunch.

When we got to Mom’s I pulled out my crochet stuff and set to work on the llamma. I had to make him some ears and sew those on before I could start the main event, looping his fur on. That took pretty much the whole night but was well worth it because he turned out so fucking cuddly. If the fur wasn’t so fuzzy that it sheds on me, I would have taken it to bed last night and to hell with selling it. We also watched Rent, which I loved.

We spent today playing FFXI. I managed to get 3 levels in the Jungles - unheard of for me, but greatly apreciated. I got somewhat pissed because I took a massive amount of screencaps that didn’t get saved, but Eddie had taken some as well, so I do have a little bit of graphics to work with.

I’ve gotten very little accomplished today. In my eyes, it’s my day off from class, I’m not required to do anything special. I worked a bit on the top secret project, pulling its legs and feet off and re-sewing them into a better spot (they were completely crooked). I put some of the embellishments on it. However, it’s still missing arms/hands and a face.

I vented a bit today. I don’t feel any better. It was a long, unproductive ranting, and is the main reason why I don’t believe it’s a good Friday.

I’m not sure what time Eddie went into work today. I know he was planning on getting up and going in for 5am since I didn’t need to get up and we need the money. I’m not sure what we’re having for dinner tonight, probably chicken and stuffing. It’s shaping up to be another Kraft Dinner and ramen week.

Tomorrow we’re going to Mom’s house for lunch/dinner, and Sunday is the big game so we’ll be over there eating yummies and everyone will be cheering and I’ll probably be crocheting or something between watching commercials.
