bitchin! (an adaptation)
so early this morning i wrote a blog. and that was all good and fine but APPARENTLY that was just NOT ENOUGH for me! no! i needed to do something! i needed to express myself even MORE SO! and really, kids, there's only one way to sufficiently accomplish that: VLOGGING!!!!
so here it is.yesterdays this morning's blog. in vlog format.
booyah!
yeah, we're gonna pretend that little interjection there never happened. it's forgotten already, right? what interjection? don't even know what i'm talking about. <3
so here it is.

bitchin!
that title is a misleading attention grabber. i dropped the "g" at the end to make it sound like it was gonna be something cool when i'm really gonna bitch. but i think i've made it up to you now by having this moment of full disclosure. (still friends?)
so, i just realized that i still haven't shown you my new car! which is mental!
wait! WHAT?!?!
yeah. that's my car. 7 days old. a whopping 242 miles. some stupid Russian guy thought it might be a good idea if he made his left turn while i drove through the intersection. i know, genius, right!? i couldn't believe my luck either!
so i have to wait till Dec 7th (FUCKING ANNIVERSARY OF PEARL HARBOR! that doesn't sound like a good omen!) till i can see it looking like this again. :/
in other news, it's the American Thanksgiving! like today. except like, not. cuz in my opinion right now is it's still night. as in i woke up in the midst of my slumbers and decided blogging was one of those things that i needed to do now. but after i resume my sleep and then wake up at a more normal hour (ie. not at 2:30am), THEN it will be Thanksgiving. or at least that's when it will have registered as such in my mind.
just a quick fun fact. since, you know, this is my blog and all. and you might expect to find out information about me here. quick fun fact: Thanksgiving is my SECOND favorite holiday, surpassed only by Halloween! ...oh! you thought i was gonna say Christmas, didn't you!? silly reader... friend... stalker?... you should know i wouldn't go for a holiday as tawdry as Christmas! goodness! what kind of my blog reader are you? clearly not a very diligent one. ...or very perceptive. i'm willing to accept perhaps you are diligent yet not very perceptive. that's an acceptable answer. though not a preferable one. but more on holidays (and possibly more inquiry as to your allegiance) in later blog posts!
Happy Thanksgiving, all! :)

YouTube is magic
YouTube is magic.
i'm sure i've written this sentiment before, but i have no problem reiterating.
YouTube is magic.
i had one of those nights where you sit down at your computer at a decent hour to be sitting down at your computer (8:30-9pm) and you don't stop watching the YouTubes until midnight. i started at Black Box TV, then to 7NAP, then to the latest from Dome, then to the latest Frezned, then some older Frezned, then Meekakitty (who i hadn't watched before!), then a Whataboutadam (who i also hadn't watched before), then back to Meekakitty. she's psycho! i now LOVE her! i mean, i thought she was pretty cool when i met her in person at VidCon, but seeing her vlogs and knowing who she is... well, she's epic!
and that's just how YouTube goes, ya know. you can even meet someone for real, "IRL" (i still hate that phrase. but it's your name. shut up! we're not talking about that.), and STILL not really not know them without seeing their vlogs. is that what life is now? no one will be real to me unless i've seen their vlogs?
i think vlogs say something about a person. how alike they are to their vlogs vs. how much is scripted is rather telling i think. like, i try to be very much myself in my vlogs. or at least show the more energetic side of me. cuz my calm side would be boring. XD but yeah, you see Meekakitty in person and it's the same as she is in vlogs. but you see Alex Day (Nerimon) and he's just really calm. he like, takes his energy level up a notch. literally! he jumps up and down a few times to get the blood flowing. it's like... watching a transformation. but a very subtle one. it's not that it's a farce, more like a facet. it's real, but it's just one side that he's turned to. i think i do so as well, but in a far less extreme sense. i think my calm and energetic are probably less extreme than his. and Meekakitty seems not to have facets. she just is. which is awesome.
but all of that was NOT THE POINT! the point was, it's amazing how YouTube is this thing full of interesting people to watch, you just haven't found them yet. it's packed with awesome that is free to access if you have the time. and it's interactive! there's nothing else in the world like it!
my money is like... well the money situation is looking grimmer than a few months ago. but i do know one thing: i'm going to VidCon. (and i'll be staying in a hotel this time. definitely with Tiff. but hopefully also with Meg and Lydia. also with whoever else will fit in our floorspace. but this is neither here nor there.) it was the most amazing experience of my life and i know next year can only surpass it. and i would be cheating myself NOT to go.
also, i'm going to be vlogging. cuz it does the body good. or at least it does the brain and possibly the social situation (if you're a nerd like me) good. and even if it didn't, i just like it. there's nothing like vlogging and when i don't do it, i miss it.
so after tomorrow, 4 day weekend, yo! and Thanksgiving. fits into that 4 day weekend. so turkey. and eating. and awesome. and stuff. yeah.
anyway. it's late, and i need to sleep now. so i'm gonna do that. later! ^_^

creeper
my manager is a creeper.
he knocks on the door at 9 pm. me and my mom exchange glances. i answer the door and he says, "can you move your car over a bit?"
so i think mom must have parked really crooked and the neighbor must be sitting down there stuck. so i say, "ok, i'll move it now." he just stands there. and i shut the door. he starts talking as the door closes.
my mom is like, "put on a sweater and cover yourself." since i'm not wearing a bra.
i don't think it's necessary, but i put on a sweater and some shoes and he's WAITING FOR ME in the elevator. and i'm thinking, that's weird. and i'm so glad i listened to my mom. and i wrap the sweater around me. and like, what? are you making sure i really do go move my car? why are you here?
the neighbor was not there. her car was parked. our car was crooked. but not even as bad as it's been before. i get in and straighten the car out. this is a simple enough task. or at least it would have been if the manager hadn't been STANDING BEHIND MY CAR!
he would call himself "guiding me." i had to ignore what he was saying completely and just try to make sure i didn't hit him. i straightened out, but i wanted to move further away from my neighbors car. i put the car in reverse and had to wait while the manager crossed behind my car. then he stood in the space i needed to pull closer to the left.
then he wanted to chatterbox back to my floor on the elevator.
so, my neighbor was parked and didn't need me to straighten the car out. he just wanted to... what? i don't know what the fuck that was about.
he is ALWAYS being inappropriate! i could give a million examples right now, but i don't want this to turn into a full-fledged rant. :/

a rant
this is not a "my feelings are hurt" rant. this is not a "it's unfair" rant. this is a "why am i stuck with a fucking child as a boss" rant.
not boss 1 (thank god!) or the youngest, boss 3. but boss 2, boss 1's brother.
father and son are out of town, thus leaving me only with boss 2. this already makes me go, "ugh!" but that is not the problem.
it is boss 2's birthday today. as with everyone's birthday, he got a cake. one of my other co-workers is notorious for taking a large slice of cake and sometimes returning for seconds. just to be a dick (though i'm sure if you hear his version it was to be funny) boss 2 waited to cut the first slice, just to make said co-worker wait. we're setting the stage here mind you. the rant is about to begin.
so he finally does cut the cake, and presents the first piece to my office mate. and she says, "the first piece? i feel special." and boss 2 says, "you are special, (name here)." it's not that he did something nice. it's that he does these things and is specifically not nice to me. ever. and it is punctuated by how whenever ANYONE ELSE does nice things, they always do them for each of us. ALWAYS.
some days he just comes in and says, "good morning, (name here)!" with extra vigor. then doesn't even look at me. but this one took extra effort. and i just have to say:
seriously? what are you trying to get out of this? what is the goal? cuz honestly, the only thing you're achieving is me wanting (even more) to be far away from you. if you have some problem with me, i don't have control over it, and you need to sort it out.
it's just so annoying to have to work with someone like this. and it's not like i can just avoid him entirely (as i would like to) because he's a boss. ugh! and he NEVER takes a day off! i hope something happens so that i only work in the back and don't have to be in the front office and deal with him. he's such a vile person!
...you know what? from now on, we shall refer to him as "douche master." i don't expect he'll be appearing in my blog very often, but when he does, "douche master" shall be his name.

personal swarm
i don't like eating lunch at work. i drive around the block, park in the shade, and eat my lunch in my car. then i listen to a podcast, or read, or talk on the phone, whatever.
it's rather hot today so i rolled my windows down to catch the breeze. so i'm eating my lunch when a bee starts trying to get into my car. i close my windows, making it immediately 10 degrees hotter in the car and wait for a full minute for the bee to lose interest. it's nearly boiling by the time i get to open my window again.
it's not thirty seconds before another bee comes and takes its full minute to try to bake me alive. but it finally loses interest too, and i roll my windows down again.
the car hasn't had a chance to cool back down completely before a hornet turns up. while i'm waiting for the hornet to leave, more bees show up. all the while it's getting hotter in the car.
a mail truck, a vehicle with no doors, is parked a little ways down the street. it's been there a few minutes and i see the mail carrier casually get out and walk to the back of the truck. which communicates to me that he is NOT being plagued by a handful of bees and hornets. this is an isolated incident.
i give up and drive back to work. :(

sister, project
so, i know i don't really mention it, but i have a sister. a half sister. she's like, 6 years older than me and lives in Kalamazoo. something we have in common, maybe it's genetic, we're not good with communication. i mean, once we're talking we can go on and on. it's just that you have to get us talking first.
so, i'm REALLY bad at communication. those of you reading this blog may disagree. you may be thinking about how you've never had a problem communicating with me. and i'd have to tell you that there's a very good reason for this: i'm REALLY trying!!!
i mean, i am NOT USED to trying. i'm kind of a "we'll talk when we get around to it" kind of person. but i don't really want to be that kind of person anymore. and getting back to people first chance i get is part of that change.
long story short, i talked to my sister yesterday. and we hadn't talked in like, a month or two. and i don't know her very well. we've only been in contact for about a year now. not very long at all. but we now have a plan to talk to each other every other Sunday. which i like. cuz it's kind of nice having another sibling. :) especially when your sister is this really nice person who is always trying to find good things to be doing. like, she takes on charity projects. and the company she works for is a charity. and, yeah, she's kind of awesome. i'm glad she's a nice person and not... i don't know. it would suck to talk to your sister and find out she's vapid and evil. i mean, this could have gone in the complete opposite direction. this could've been a blog about how horrified i am at what a horrible person she is. but she's not. so... yay!
also, i'm always doing some sort of project now. which i like. i really do. i have one more thing to do for hotnerdsexy, and then i only have to worry about producing episodes for a while. :) oh, yeah! i redesigned the website! check it out: hotnerdsexy.com
i'm really proud of that site! i've never designed a website before, so... yeah. happy it turned out so well. :)
ok, it's time to leave the working. so i will be to talking some other times, yeah? hopefully soon. hopefully with even more stuff accomplished that i can update about. :)
...there were a lot of smileys in this blog. and it turned out disjointed due to time constraints. :/ ah, well.
