Like a mosquito bite.

A mild annoyance. One that, if caught quickly enough, will not be remembered in twenty minutes. Oh, the mark'll be around for a few days. I might idly stumble across it and be all, "Hey, what's th-- oh yeah." And just like that, forgotten again. Life goes on (even for that bastard mosquito), and the brief interaction will fade into nothing. Do I care? Not terribly. It wasn't exactly my decision to let the mosquito feast. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time, so I helped it out (if I was a bit used in the process). Similarly, it's not exactly the mosquito's decision that I slap it. It just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. In the end, either way, I come out the victor.

I'm a totally different person. ... I like it. I think.

And now for something completely different: today, Monday, is the hundredth anniversary of my grandmother's birth. :O My gramma died nearly twenty years ago (February will mark that anniversary), and I've nearly forgotten everything about her, but I still feel some strange connection... I don't know. Cheers, Gramma Carey. I don't know who you are, but I miss the hell out of you. Thank you for the baby blanket and the flower girl dress. I'm sure I liked them both. ♥

Mixed bag.

I AM SO TIRED.

Who'd ever've thought I'd wake up one day with nothing but CANADA on my mind? Thanks, Kaylie, for linking me to that kink meme fill, because I was seriously up until five in the morning reading it (and have fallen in love with this characterization of Mattie SO HARD).

Not that I could sleep. My body was wide the fuck awake somehow!

Unrelatedly to the sleep and the kink meme fill, guess who decided to say hi for the first time in three months? 9______9 LOL It's still going. I remain highly unimpressed and wary as to his true intentions (and I know you're reading this, so, seriously. Stop playing games and just tell me what you want).

Speaking of sleep, I totally fell into it during training this morning. I made what I think was a VALIANT effort to stay awake, but given this weekend, just... no.

ON A MUCH HAPPIER NOTE, I've got some pictures from Friday and Saturday! Friday's pictures are of the ichiP! variety, and Saturday-- hey yo Hidekaz' official art, you're cute and all, and I'mma let you finish, but I'm the most adorable Seychelles of all time. OF ALL TIME.

( Friday: ichiP! )

( Saturday: Hetalia )

So many things to do today: fix my glasses, go to the bank, do some laundry, clean my room, GET SOME SLEEP.... finish reading the kink meme....

I lost my iPod. ;-;

I need to post my pictures from yesterday on the community....

TODAY WAS MADE OF FAIL

Let's recap:
-No sleep.
-"Conversation" with Phill.
-Work on my day off.
-Falling asleep at work on my DAY OFF.
-Staying at work two hours past time ON MY DAY OFF!
-Not being able to get to the bank.
-Finding the jewelers CLOSED for Yom Kippur.
-Putting another $20 on my MetroCard, second time since THURSDAY.
-Barely catching the bus, no, wait, banging on the door and screaming my head off and being totally ignored while the people IN the bus were trying to help me out, stupid asshole bus driver, but waiting fifteen minutes for the next one instead
-Am too tired to clean or do laundry but not tired enough to fall asleep (especially because family is visiting but bless them, they're trying so hard to use indoor voices!).

WTF, is this shit supposed to even out my awesome weekend? It would almost make me not want awesome weekends anymore (except I know that this is all just a horrible coincidence). Still, FML. This was NOT cute.
