Christmas in May...
This nice lady I work with gave me a christmas bracelet this morning. It's got silver doo-dads and little charms on it. At first I thought it was ugly, but then I was all "Hey, I could wear this at Christmas!" and then I thought "Why wait 'til Christmas? I'mma wear it now!" So I'm wearing a Christmas bracelet. It's jangley. I'm going to see if anyone notices...
I'm drinking coffee. Well, i call it coffee, but it's really more like coffe-flavored sugar-milk. It's diabetes in a styrofoam cup! And it's damn good. I have to cut back on it, tho. So now I'm down to one cup a day (10:00 am), and on Fridays I have one cup at 10am, and one before I leave at 4:30 to give me a little boost so I won't be falling asleep at midnight. Nuts to that.
I transplanted Bitey (the office poinsettia) to a larger plant pot the other day. He seems to like his new place. A girl at work wanted to name him Pablo because of the legend of the poinsettia (go look it up, ya lazy ass). I'll be damned if I'm going to call my friend Bitey "Pablo"-- he doesn't even like the name! And it totally does not suit him.
Grrrr- damn pop-ups! I d/l the google pop-up blocker and I'm STILL getting pop-ups! Today has been an aggrivating morning. I got a virus warning (I wasn't even doing anything on the computer! just some pop-ups popped up!), the pop-ups KEEP coming, my glasses are speckley (hairspray?? i have no idea), and my coffee cup just sprung a leak (a tiny one that i covered with tape)... arrrrrrgh. Thank GAWD I have tomorrow off!!
Ok, that's all for now. *poke*

Wal-mart Porn
DON'T BUY PORN FROM THE WAL-MART $5 DVD BIN! I'm pissed- I bought this movie "Net Games" from the bin (I only bought it because it had C. THomas Howell in it), and from the description on the back, I gather that it's supposed to be a thriller. But it's a porno. Seriously. Anyway, I figured hey! me and Nathan can watch this since his cable's out! So I bring it over and start playing it and... the goddamn thing freezes up EVERY 20 SECONDS!!! I was PISSED!! The FIRST porno I ever buy and it's MESSED UP!! WTF, DAMN YOU WAL-MART FOR RUINING MY PORNO!!!! So anyway, it turns out it plays fine on Nathan's laptop, but how gay is that watching a porno on a laptop?! ((it's funny because i know some of you all do it)) So I'm going to see if it works on my dvd player at home and if it doesn't, I'm going to take that damn thing back and tell them they ruined my porno! MY VERY FIRST PORNO MOVIE!!
Damn, I think this morning has been "Be Pissy to Gail the Receptionist Day." First, someone took all my damn pens and sticky notes. I HATE when people take the stuff on my desk! True, it's not "mine" because technically it belongs to the company, but I don't go take shit offa THEIR damn desks!! Every fucking morning I have to go to the fucking supply closet and get more fucking office stuff! Grrr!!
Then that snorting lady (see one of the previous posts) yelled at me for something that was HER fault. She was all snotty like "WHY are you putting this submission in the computer like this?" And I was all "You TOLD me to put that in the computer like that like a month ago" and she was like "Oh... well, we changed it. You need to put this new info in the computer, I thought you knew." and I was all "No one told me" ((me being the one who PUTS these goddamned submissions in the computer, so you'd think they'd TELL ME when shit changes)) And then she came back later and was like "I'm sorry. I thought this info was in the computer, but it's not. We're waiting on some other person to fix it." Grrrr, I hate when people get pissy with me when I have NOTHING to do with what they're bitching about.
Then this guy calls, and sounds like he's reading from a notecard in some weird accent. I couldn't tell what the fuck he was saying and he kept repeating the same three lines over and over. So finally I caught the words "meter machine" and I go "Ohh, do you mean the mail? I don't handle the mail" so then he goes "Hello-oo?" real snarky-like. And I go "Yes, hello?" and he repeats himself again! I really think it was one of those out-sourcing things where the people you're talking to are in India and companies teach them how to speak English and then they make phone calls because that's cheaper than paying people in America(and for those of you who think I'm full of it, we talked about it in my SOCI class and there was even an article in the newspaper about it awhile back). So FINALLY I caught the words "copy machine" and I transferred him. But the dude seemed all pissed because I didn't know what he was saying, and I was thinking "DUDE! I didn't call you up and BUTCHER YOUR LANGUAGE and then get all pissed off about it!" **segue time**
Now, I'm not one of *those* people who is like "Well, if you don't want to learn our language, then you can just GIT OUT!" I don't care if you're speaking fucking Swahili, just don't get pissy when I don't understand your accent! Ohhh my god, the WORST ever was this lady who used to work at Wal-Mart (when I worked at the snax-bar there). I have no idea where she was from, but she didn't speak very good English, so I was forever asking her to repeat herself. You wanna know what she sounded like? Picture the Chicken Lady (from Kids in the Hall) doing an impression of Jar Jar Binks saying "EEE undt coop ee un yava OoOOoOoo Coooke," and that's pretty damn close to what she sounded like. The Chicken Lady doing an impression of Jar Jar Binks. Great. And I would say like "I'm sorry, what?" So she would SIGH really loudly and irritated-ly and then squawk in her Chicken-Lady-Jar-Jar voice "OoOOn Cooooke! COOOOoooOooOke! Unda yava EEso COOOOOP fee-yorr COOOOkE!" and waving her arms around. So I was like "Ohh, a CUP for your COKE. Here you go." and then she would start squawking again and finally point to the damn cash register. The first time she did that, I figured out she was trying to pay me. So I rung it up and told her the total, so she holds out a handful of change to me. And she starts going "Owww Mawwwch?" and I tell her. But she just kept pointing to her handful of change and pissy-sighing and squawking "MAWCH. OWW?" So FINALLY I figure out that SHE wants ME to pick the correct change out of her handful!! Screw that noise. So finally I just said, "Just fucking take it." ((I figured if she didn't know any other english, she probably wouldn't know that "fucking" was a bad word)) Way to waist 10 minutes of your break there, lady. God I hated her. *end of rant*
*Sigh* Oh well, at least I met some NICE psychos when I worked there...
So to sum up today's lesson: Wal-Mart $5 porn sucks, people steal things from my desk, and most people who work at Wal-Mart are psychos.

Misc. misc. and more misc...
I don't have any really big stories to tell, so I'll just give some random updates...
First thing on the agenda, I made Nathan watch "Wing Commander" the other night. I didn't understand one bit of it- I just watched it because Freddie Prinze, Jr. and Matthew Lillard were in it. I thought I didn't understand it because we missed the first 20 minutes, but Chris told me it didn't make a difference. Bue hey! It was on the SciFi channel-- I thought the SciFi channel only played *good* movies... (hahahahaha, no).
Next item of business, we need people to dress up as Rocky Horror Picture Show characters for Halloween with me. I am going as Columbia. Brandon said he'd go as Rocky, but I have a feeling he's not going to be real keen on running around in just gold undies all night ((also, Rocky is blonde)). We still need Brad, Janet, Dr. Scott, Eddie... well hell, I'm not gonna name all the characters- you all SHOULD know them (there'll be a test later, bitches!).
Third, for some weird reason, adults think I'm funny. Seriously, I've had like 5 people at work today tell me I have a great sense of humor. And I thought it was just the weirdos I work with, but I've had tachers and even my mom's friends say I'm funny. But people my own age don't think I'm funny. Hell, I don't think I'm funny. Well, sometimes I do, but that's only when I yell "PINEAPPLE!" at inappropriate times. Or when I make little baby dino noises; that makes me laugh. Maybe adults are just freaking weirdos. Screw the whole lot of 'em- I'm gonna act like a 10-year-old forever and NEVER grow up! Yaaaaay weeee!!
Ohh my god- guess what just happened. This nice lady I work with just came into the lobby, used the phone, and started crying a little. Then she walked out into the hallway. Then she came back in and stood in the corner of the lobby and she looked like she was really really trying to force back the tears. Then she walked away. Ohhhh man was that uncomfortable. I didn't know what to do-- should I ask if she's ok? Do I hand her a box of tissues? Or should I just pretend like I don't notice her crying so she won't be embarrassed?? That's what I did. Now I feel bad. I hate when people cry around me-- my first impulse is to give them a big hug and then my second impulse is to cry with them because i can't STAND when people cry. But then some people don't want to be hugged. And I never can tell who wants to be hugged and who doesn't. But I'm not going to hug someone I work with- that's just weird. But now I feel really really bad for not doing anything at all- like I feel like a big uncaring jerk for not wanting to embarrass her or make a scene of it. Oh man. Where's Dear Abby when you need her!!
Anyway, on to the final order of business. I watched the series finale of Angel last night. I cried when Wesley died. It was really sad. But I didn't bawl; I only cried a little bit. I've only really bawled because of a tv show like three times. ((Once when Buffy had to kill Angel to close the Hell Mouth, once when Goku died and didn't want to come back to life, and then the episode of Pokemon where Ash has to set caterpie free... and if any ONE of you laughs, I will KICK YOUR ASS.))
Ok, that is all. I'm bored.

Zombie Clowns are not scary...
I am afraid of
clowns. Pennywise is WHY I'm afraid clowns. (I couldn't be anywhere near balloons for like a month after seeing IT, either) I am also afraid of
zombies. When I saw Dawn of the Dead (2004), I was totally convinced there were zombies hiding behind EVERYTHING (same thing happened after I saw Resident Evil, too). Zombie clowns, however, are not scary. I think a zombie clown would be pretty dumb-lookin, actually. In fact, if I ever saw a zombie clown I'd be all "Hey, stupid! Yeah, I'm talking to you, you stupid ugly zombie clown! Yousa BITCH, zombie clown! Nyah nyah nyah!" ((Actually, if I ever saw a zombie clown in real life, I'd probably run. But I would SO be yelling that over my shoulder at him!))
I have "I Wanna Be Sedated" by the Ramones stuck in my head.

Early onset alzheimers...
I've been very absent-minded lately- even more so than usual (scary, i know!). So I'm thinkin' I'm either getting old, or it's early onset alzheimers. Like today, I put my shirt on backwards and i didn't notice it for a couple hours. And the other day I forgot to put on deoderent (good thing i'm not stinky, unlike some people I know...)
It's weeeird- I'm not usually this forgetful. And so I'm trying to think of what's causing this, right? There's nothing really heavy on my mind (sometimes if I'm worried about something, I'll get all spastic in the brain), and I ain't not pothead (You ever see the back of a twenty dollar bill... on weed?)...
Oh well, maybe I'm just going crazy... *twitch*

Annoying laughs
I hate people with annoying laughs. We have two annoying laughers where I work. The first one goes "Huuuuuuuuhhh, huh huh huhuhuhuhhh"- it almost sounds like fake sobbing. Also, it sounds really stupid, like when Goofy goes "Huh-yuk huh-yuk huh-yuk." I'll do an impression of it, if anyone asks.
The second one we have is a snorter. And I'm NOT talking like "Tee hee heeee *little snort* hee hee," noooo- she sounds like a PIG. An real live pig. It's like "Ha ha *snooooooooort* Ha *snort snoooort* ha." I hate that. I mean, snorting's funny and cute (sometimes), but NOT when you sound like a freaking pig when you're laughing. I can do an impression of that one too, if anybody wants to hear it.
I had other stuff to say but I forgot it 'cuz now all I can think about is the annoying laughter and how much I hate it. GRRR I hate annoying laughter.

Gail and Patrick's Super Fun Fun Happy Friday Night Adventure of Fun!
Yeah, it was like over a week ago, but I've been... busy. With finals. Yeahhhh, finals.
Pat and I started out our fun fun adventure night by going to get slushees. Not just any 'ol slushees- these are magical orgasmic slushees! They come from Quik Trip. They're the black cherry ones in the back corner. They're like a orgy in my mouth, only in slushee form.
Then we went to the Avenue. And we stared at people through the window of Abercrombie & Fitch. It's a lot of fun, staring at people- it's like watching tv. Only the tv characters stare back at you and freak the hell out. Then we went to Borders and I got the "Never Mind the Bullocks- Here's the Sex Pistols" cd-- a MUST for any cd collection.
Then, this is liek the best part, we wandered around the alley behind the Avenue and we found a big box of magazines! So we poked throught the box and I scored three magazines (with their covers town off) Yaay free stuff! But the best part is- in one of the magazines I found a picture of Freddie Prinze Jr! Yaaaaay!!
We continued our adventure at Psycho Tattoo. I went to get my earring changed, but they didn't have any in my size, so we decided to stop by the sex shop down the street. Umm.. Starship, I think? I signed a petition there- I think it was a petition to let cobb county sex shops sell vibrators, or something. Hahaha- vibrators!!!
Then we hung out at Patrick's house. He has a really cool house, and more people should hang out there ('cuz Patrick says so). Then I scared the hell outta myself 'cuz I started thinking about scary things (like the scary rubber hand tacked to the wall, and zombies, and stuff), so I was all freaked out. I have a very over-active imagination.
I hate zombies. I saw Dawn of the Dead WEEKS ago, and I'm STILL creeped out.
Also, wish me luck on my Sociology final tomorrow at 2:00. Yay!

Bad day at work makes Gail say "Grrrrrr..."
Yesterday started out bad (a doctor had to take some blood, and I got a shot in my ear. A SHOT in my EAR...) but then got really good again (I get to exempt my Psych final, I aced my Spanish Oral Exam, and our HPS group presentation went really well), but then got really bad again that night (I'm being kicked out of my bedroom for all of next week -FINALS week, too- so some dumbass drunken redneck can tile the downstairs floor). I was pissed off.
But then, last night I had a really good dream. I can't remember what it was about, but i woke up with a warm and fuzzy feeling. I think I dreamt that Brandon came home (from Japan) and me and Stewart were friends again. So my morning was really good.
But then it got ugly- I almost got run over by some asshole in the parking lot (i'm serious- if I'd have been a few feet further forward he would have plowed right into me). Then, I get to my desk and I find out that the office IT guy has rebooted my computer and lost EVERYTHING on it that I'd saved. All my bookmarked sites, all my miscellaneous work notes, my background (a pic of me and Nathan that WASN'T saved anywhere), all my SAVED SCHOOL WORK... HOPEFULLY I won't NEED any of my skool werk since the semester is almost over... I was sooo about to cry, but then he spent like 45 minutes trying to bring up at least SOME stuff. Didn't work, though. But I got over it... I mean, I'm pissed, but it's not the end of the world, I guess. And then I put up a pic of Freddie Prinze Jr. as my background until I can find another pic of me and Nathan. So THEN this guy (whom i don't really like very much) keeps coming up to bug me with like "Hey, can you look this up in the computer for me?" and I'm thinking "Oh yeah, sure i can- 'cuz I don't have ANYTHING BETTER TO DO than look up stuff for you when YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF..." finally, he left me alone. So then I'm on my lunch break, just minding my own damn business, when Izzy (whom i also dislike) yells over the cubicle wall "GAIL! GAIL- you there? GAIL!!" and she's IN THE CUBICLE RIGHT NEXT TO ME- it would be easier and less noisy to just walk her fat ass over and ask me quietly!! So I stay quiet, pretending like I'm all absorbed in reading my magazine. So she finally drags over and goes "What's the abbreviation for Minnesota? MN?" And I'm thinking "Goddamnit, you could have looked that up in the internet in 2 seconds instead of wailing at me!" so I was just like "Oh, I'm not sure" when I did know full well what the damn abbreviation was... I don't like Izzy because she commands me to do stuff and then doesn't say please, and when she says thank you it's grudgingly. But, on the up side- Out of all 40-some people I work with, i only dislike 3 or 4. Most everybody else is really nice (most of the time).
Geez, all I did was bitch in this post. Later on tonight or tomorrow I'm gonna post the details of Patrick and Gail's Happy Fun Fun Friday Night Adventure of Fun!!

I want JOHN STEVENS to be the next American Idol...
Yes, I like watching American Idol. It's true. But you know what?? I'm not ashamed! Do you hear that, world?! I AM NOT ASHAMED!! Ok, enough of that...
I want John Stevens to win. In case you don't know, John Stevens is
this guy. The ultra-pale red-headed one. I looove his voice and (Nathan's gonna be mad at me, but) he's just absolutely adorable!! ((And YEAH, I already know he's JAILBAIT, so don't bother telling me *grumble*)) Also, I like him 'cuz he's crazy white and I love red hair (on guys, anyways)!! Red-headed guys are just so cute!! Haha- hey! I got idea...
Ok, I'm done. Yeah, I know that C Thomas Howell and Jake LeDoux aren't listed under "cute", but I just can't find any good pictures of them right now...
Wait, where was I going with all this? Hmm... let's see, I had some hot chocolate and I was writing about John Stevens... then I had a cup of coffee and posted pics of random guys... then I had some chocolate and posted pics of ugly guys... Hmmmmm... Oh well- let's do the Hyper Dance!! *wiggle wiggle* *shake shake shake* *wiggle wiggle* UH UH!!
...I'm done. I promise I won't dance anymore...
Damn, alright that's enough procrastinating- I gotta go do some homework. Woooooo...
