I know no one actually reads these things, but I felt that I should do it, just so I can look back on it in a few years and laugh at my idiocy. If you feel like reading and commenting, great. Otherwise, don't. Pretty simple.

Hey everyone,
I'm tired of having to read two separate friends lists. So I've added everyone here to my other journal at  deana_in_texas. So don't be surprised if it shows up that I've friended you - it means that I like you. Feel free to friend me back.

Ok, well that failed miserably, so it looks like I'll be here for a while longer.
I was attempting to leave and get my own apartment in a fit of anger, but instead ended up screaming a lot and falling asleep. So it looks like I'll be here for a while with computer access. I will be moving out soon, though, at which point I doubt I'll be able to afford internet access, which was my reason behind saying I wouldn't be around for a while. My only access would be from work
Man, I've gotten far too angsty for my own liking lately. I guess I need to just smack some sense into myself or something.

So I'm driving to class this morning, and I pass this fairly large girl who is walking down the side of the street. She's wearing bright orange sweatpants, on the ass of which say "PINK." Except the letters weren't pink, they were dark green. And they clashed horribly with the bright orange of the pants. She just had a white t-shirt on, so I guess I can't complain about that, but seriously. What is up with the pants?

Not much else to say at the moment. A lot going on in my life right now. Trying to get as much money as possible so I can get this apartment I've been looking at. Hopefully I'll be able to pull it off, so I can keep these two kitties and have my own place to do what I want with. And I ended a sentence with a preposition, but I honestly don't care.
Back to work, I suppose.

Subject: Christmas cards and a happy birthday wish. |
|
|
| |

First and foremost, I want to wish a happy birthday to spunkyvanilla. I know I don't know you that well, but since I've met you you've been interesting, funny, and a good friend to me and my friends. So have a good day, and hope your next year works out well for ya.
Secondly, I'm feeling random. Well, not really, I actually stole the idea from xenyomega. But I like getting mail. And I think most people feel this way, soooo....
I feel like sending out Christmas cards to people, in exchange for Christmas cards. Fairly simple concept. You post here telling me that you'd like to exchange Christmas (or holiday, if you don't do Christmas) cards, and send me an email at ablotial@hotmail.com which contains your mailing address. Then I'll send a return email containing my email address. Don't post your mailing address here! I do trust all of my friends on LJ, but I don't want random people stumbling across my journal and harrassing everyone.
Anyway. . . Yeah that's about it.

For those of you getting comments from me on old entries, don't worry about it. I got my wisdom teeth out last week, so I'm just getting around to catching up on my friends page.
For farruinn and ryvaendell, I had wanted to comment on some of your entries, but it says your journals are in "read only mode" while the server they're on is down for maintenance. So sadly you'll never know what I had to say.

Subject: Thoughts on Washington DC and the election in general |
|
|
| |
| |
Well, the elections so far have been really disappointing. Really lowers my opinion of the American people in general. I mean, I expected Bush to win places like Texas and most of the south, but not by as large a margin as he managed. In fact, he's gotten so many votes it appears he is winning the popular vote, which really scares me. That means over half our country liked the way our country has been run for the past four years. And not only that, but they want the next four years to go the same way. This is scary.
One thing that really caught my attention last night watching the television, though, was Washington DC. Granted, there were states where Bush won by a fairly large margin, say 70% to 30%, and states where Kerry won, whatever. But in DC, Kerry whomped Bush. Bush got 9% of the vote, and Kerry got 90%. I can only assume the other 1% went to third party candidates like Nader or Badnerick (who I noticed weren't even mentioned once all night). Anyway, the point is, there is a HUGE discrepancy between the way our nation's capitol votes and the way the rest of the country votes. No where else did either candidate have such a landslide victory. Not that I'm complaining - I would have loved it if the entire nation had elected Kerry with 90% of the vote, but that didn't happen.
But seriously. Why does Washington DC vote so much differently than the rest of the nation? Do they know something we don't know, since they are exposed to politics on the grand scale so much more often than the rest of us (or so I assume). Do all the liberal people in the nation move to DC? If so, why? I just don't understand.

Arg I really am going insane.
I spent half the morning crying.
I need to get out of here, don't know how much I can stand it.
I put in a post at another online community asking anyone in the Dallas area if they, or anyone they know, would be willing to put me and my cat up on their couch for $150 or so a month until the new year. I didn't find any communities here that seemed like they'd help if I did that, so I didn't do it on LJ. But damn I'm frustrated. For that matter, if any of you who live around here feel like putting me up for cheap, or know someone who might, feel free to let me know.
I really don't want to go back to Maine, but that may be my only choice. Can't do anything I want if I go back there, no opportunity. But perhaps I could get my teacher's certification and teach at Narraguagus. The principal told me he would have a job for me if I did that, once upon a time.

I need more money. Or a room in the closet or something. I can't put up with this much longer or my head is going to explode into millions of tiny bits and pieces.

So this guy really pissed me off last night. I almost kicked him in the head.
We're sitting in class discussing this math problem. The teacher writes something on the board. When I first saw it, I had to think about it for a moment before I realized he was right - it wasn't intuitive. But I figured it out in 2 seconds, tops.
The guy behind me, however, didn't. And he raised his hand and flat out told the professor he was wrong. The professor quickly explained what he was doing, but the guy wouldn't let up. He even managed to convince a good number of people in the class that his stupidity was correct. But the professor tried to keep going. And the guy just kept on interrupting saying we should use the "real" numbers instead of these "incorrect" ones. Finally, I turned to the annoying guy and said, "he really is correct. . . draw yourself a picture and you'll see what it is you're forgetting about."
His reply? "You're just a stupid girl, what do you know?"
This pissed me off.
So I took the liberty of drawing the picture for him myself. I handed it to the guy sitting next to him, who looked at it and said, "dude, she's right, look." And the moron took my paper and ripped it and handed it back saying, "I don't listen to stupid girls."
I stood up to kick him in the head but the prof said, "that's enough people."
But he deserved a kick in the head.

Well today I went out to visit dad's. Thought I should get my stuff out of the apartment . . . just in case. Plus he was willing to make food for us. We had a bar-b-que on the make-shift grill with hamburgers, hotdogs and some chicken.
Was my first glimpse of my dad as a "person," per se. Not that I didn't view him as a person before - but he's from a family which doesn't really talk about the past. He mentioned to me today that nana (his mom) looks the way he remembers his grandmother looking. I think that's the first time I've ever heard anything about her. It's sad how little I know about my own family.
Afterward, I took Sean to peigurl74's house for a good ole boiled dinner, which he proceeded to drown in pepper and vinegar. It went surprisingly well, if you ask me, considering the differences in . . . well. . . everything between Sean and that family. I was pleased with the results.
I have more to say, but I'll write about it later in a friends-only post.
Woooooooooooooooooooo!

Well, here I am up in Maine. Not much has happened, as of yet. We got in about midnight on Tuesday night, after travelling all day. Was a long and boring trip. The plane ride was especially boring - not even any good scenery because of the clouds. On the bus ride, Sean and I did word puzzles from my book most of the ride and annoyed the piss out of this incredibly bitchy woman behind us. She was bitching at the bus driver when we first got on, and even said "ugh, whatever!" in that Clueless tone teenagers copy from that god-awful movie - but she was about 60 so it made it that much worse! So we knew the trip would be hell and did word problems. And the damn lady insisted on yelling out wrong answers to our problems. Finally, we got tired of word games and I pulled out my Prob and Stats book and began reading from that. She promptly moved up to the front of the bus, saying that we were too loud and annoying for her.
Ugh.
Anyway, we slept til 1:00 yesterday, which was nice. Then went down to mom's work and helped out there and earned $15 each for doing whatever we want. Afterwards, we went to visit my grandmother down in Jonesport at the ... place she's at. She had a stroke about 2 weeks ago, if you missed that. She seems to be doing quite well at this point. Still has no feeling in her left hand, but otherwise fine. She predicts she can go home in a week or so. I'm not so sure, but we'll see.
Today we slept until 2, which was even nicer. Then we went to the grocery store and got items for making two meals. A lemon chicken meal, and a black bean and tortilla casserole. Both are excellent. I'll probably update this with links to recipes, later.
Then Sean and I covered ourselves with bug spray and went out to the nature trail. I showed him the railroad tracks and the haunted car lot. I tried to show him some of our old forts, but he's apparently not much of an adventurer, and wasn't enjoying the trek through the trees, so we turned and came home to have diet sunkist with cheese and crackers. Very fixful.
Otherwise, not much happening. I'm glad to have the time off from work, and enjoying seeing some of the people. Annoyed with my little brother for picking up smoking - someone needs to smack some sense into that kid. Especially with his lungs the way they are after his childhood illnesses. Oh well, not much I can do about it at this point.

This is. . . sad. My boss sent it to me at work.
Speaking of work - it's strange. For some reason it always turns out that I like the people no one else does, and find the ones most people like annoying. Except Jason. I don't think anyone liked him. But I could be wrong, who knows? And there are always the people who just... exist. No one thinks anything particularly good or bad about.
I did some finagling today also and managed to get tomorrows schedule all fucked up, but to my liking. So I'll be having a more enjoyable afternoon tomorrow, thanks to those of you who helped me out :)
I really should start packing for my trip, but unfortunately I am too lazy to do it. Plus it involves washing clothes, so I think I'll put it off until Monday. But maybe I should start thinking of what I might like to bring. . . I don't even know what we'll be doing there. I hate not having money. And after trading around the shifts for tomorrow, I lose an hour of work (and probably more since typically you don't leave at 8:00 when you close) so there's another $8.35 down the drain. Which doesn't sound like much, but trust me. I need it. I even felt bad wasting $5 for my lunch today :( But I was hungry, so eh.
