Once Bitten, Twice Shy...No More?
Mood:  chillin'
Now Playing: Launchcast
I wanted to post yesterday, but kinda ran out of time. Times are definitely a-changin' around here. I'll now be up to 20 hours a week at the daycare center. The bad thing is that I'll be at the other one, and not the one that Mum works at. I'll miss my little babies, but I'll get by. My checks are gonna be so awesome for the next little while.

I'm getting tired of all my acquaintances. Marcus, bless him, but he's working my nerves. I haven't talked to him in about a week and a half or two, but he's still pressing me. Like, he kinda freaked me out last Monday. I was getting ready for work, and he text-messaged me. All the message said was "what u doin", I thought it might be Mum playing around (Launchcast music break: OMFG!! Launchcast is playing Guns N' Roses again!!!!! Paradise City, live! F'N AWESOME!!!), and trying to figure out what was taking me so long, but then I checked the info, and it was Marcus. I texted (That's not a word, is it? Well, it is now) him back saying that I was getting ready, and he called. The connection was bad, and he was saying that he was bored. Now, I was finishing my hair, which was an accidental masterpiece, and in case you don't know, it's not a good thing to have a hot curler/pressing comb in your hand while on the phone, I've done this with Jason on a couple of occasions. But I don't know, it was just unsettling to me that he would call like that. Like 20 minutes later, I had to leave, and he kept saying that he was gonna leave his internship early and stuff. I was like, "Yeah, go, just make sure you get your hours." I've been in the situation where you're at a job, not working, just wasting the day away, so I could sympathize for that bit.The kicker for me was that on Saturday night, I got the same "what u doin" message again.

I have to make a new paragraph, because this is gonna be a bit long. Okay, the Friday after Thanksgiving, I got sick again. The whole cold thing with the phlegm and stuff, and a runny nose. Those cute, germy kids. The cold was in high gear on Friday and Saturday, I felt like crap. Saturday morning, I woke up at about 8:00 am, because my nose drained down to my chest, but it had to pass through my throat, and my throat hurt like hell, and it was really dry. Jason called at about 11:00, the only reason I stayed on the phone with him, for about an hour, is because I don't have to talk back to Jason. (Launchcast music break: MOTLEY CRUE HOME SWEET HOME!!!!!!!!!! AAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON???) Jason will just go on and on and on (this song is making it so I can't type anymore, so many errors being made), so all I had to do was just be like "uh-huh", "for real?", "when did that happen?", "then what?". Now, I know that I have to have the Marcus tie in, so here it is, I have to talk to Marcus. I like doing this, but I don't know why, but lately, even though he's been the friend I've talked to least lately, he's just bugging me endlessly. I can't explain it. Anyway, like I said, I was sick, but Saturday night, I felt better. Now, I found out something really, really extraordinary Saturday night. The Primetime HBO movie that night was Love Actually(more on this later, of course). To say I geeked out is a major understatement. I found this out at about 6:00-6:30, and could not contain my excitement, but then I had an afterthought: Marcus is gonna call tonight. I just had the overpowering feeling it was gonna happen. At 8:13 pm, I was just settling in to Love Actually, when my mobile goes off, and I get the "what u doin" message. But this time, I had an excuse, I said that I had been drifting in and out of sleep. Which is kinda true. I had been, a couple hours before. Then he texted me back saying he was bored. And? Well, I said I was sorry, but how am I supposed to help? The thing that really pissed me off is that I was right, and he called during something I was really looking forward to.

Now is the rant paragraph. Why do people call me when they're bored? WHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYY?? When did it become my job to remedy the boredom of all of my friends? I wish someone would have told me that was my occupation. Now, especially depening on what mood I'm in, the levels of which I can stand my friends is love to barely tolerate them, but goddamn, get a fucking hobby. Jason's always calling me, saying he's bored. You know how many video games you have? Play the goddamn things. Now I got Marcus calling me, saying the same thing. At the internship is one thing, but at home is quite another. I told him a long time ago he should bring a book to his internship. He said that it might look fishy to the people at the place he goes to. So what? If they ask about it, tell them that you ride the metro (which he does) (Launchcast music break: PUDDLE OF MUDD SHE HATES ME!! AWWWWWWWWWWWW SHIT, THIS IS GREAT!!!!), and you always have a book on you. Then tell them that if they have a problem with it, they should find something for you to do, since that's what you're there for. But when he's at home, saying he's bored, there's just no excuse. I recall a time, maybe about a year ago from now, he was laughing at my small DVD collection. Where as he had a huge one. At the time, I had about 9, and there were maybe like 12 in the entire house. This being said, why doesn't he watch them? I remember him telling me that he never watched the Hey Arnold DVD he bought. If you're so bored, watch that, just for the love of all things holy, find something to do. It's gonna be a really sad day if I ever permanently move to England (I so want to).

I have a theory why this happens. All these people who are bored, they are now young adults, aging from 18-22/23, all had people to entertain them as young children. I didn't. Jason had his brother, even though his brother was the dominant twin, he could drag Jason with all his friends and stuff. Marcus had Aaron from an early age. Now, Jason's brother and Aaron are gone. Both in the military. Conclusion: Jason and Marcus need someone to entertain them. I love Gypsy as much as the next musical lover, and of course I love the song Let Me Entertain You, but I'm just not the one. They both need girlfriends or something. The reason I can cope with boredom is because from the age of 0 to now, I've had me. There's an 8 1/2 year age gap between my brother and me, so it's not like I was playing with him. I'm always falling out with my friends, a pattern I have yet to break, so I'm not totally blameless, but I've always had a strong, vivid imagination. If I need shit to do, I'll put in a DVD, read a book, or I'll do my all time favorite thing to do: daydream. I'm an excellent daydreamer, I do it all the time.

But the bad thing is that all this calling me, is starting to make me back off. I'm starting to feel suffocated. One of the best things about being friends with Marcus is that he didn't bug me. But when you factor in new jobs and both of us giving up wrestling, compatible times for us to be on the phone are starting to become few and far in between.

Now, onto something not so complain-y: Love Actually. Wow. That move was... something. Totally unlike I thought it would be. But I loved it a whole bunch, and it's on right now, but I have a few minutes, because Alan Rickman doesn't appear until about 18 minutes in. I know, I'm a freak. (Launchcast music break: DEF LEPPARD POUR SOME SUGAR ON ME!!! I don't get it either, but when in Rome...) But the weird thing was that, like last Tuesday or Wednesday, I was just thinking about this movie. Bizarre. I was trying to figure out if it was coming to HBO or Showtime or something. Wow. But the Alan Rickman-fest was far from over. Almost at the end of Love Actually, I noticed my TV Guide just happened to opened to a page with Alan Rickman, dressed like an alien. I'm serious, on both parts. The magazine just happened to be open to that page, and Alan Rickman was dressed like an alien. It was an ad for the movie Galaxy Quest (Launchcast music break: Tony! Toni! Tone! It Never Rains In Southern California. OH. MY. GOD.), now, I remember this movie, but I recently found out he was in it. The bad part was that I had missed it for the night, because it aired opposite of Love Actually. The good part: It was on the next night. Twice. So awesome. Galaxy Quest was nuts, but the character Alan Rickman played in it, Alexander Dane, is exactly the way I pictured him in real life. Minus that thing he had to wear on his head. The thing was that the guy he played, Dane, played some alien, Dr. Lazarus, on an old Star Trek-type show. He was kinda like a Klingon or something. But when he was putting on his make-up, he just freaked out and said, "I won't say that bloody line again!" You kinda had to be there. The reason I say I can see him like this, is because the character was pigeon-holed into this character, and hated it. That's what I used to think his stance was on Harry Potter. But I've heard that he enjoys the role of Prof. Snape. Galaxy Quest comes on next Saturday, so I know what I'll be doing then. And I still won't be taking any phone calls.(Launchcast music break: BON JOVI BAD MEDICINE!!! HELLLLLZ YESSSSSS!!!)

Okay, something strange is going on. Launchcast must really want something to be giving me all this. I just broke in with the AWESOME stuff, but here's the list of good stuff they played in about an hour and half:
Guns N' Roses- Paradise City
Motley Crue- Home Sweet Home
Nelly/Kelly Rowland- Dilemma
Michael Jackson- Remember the Time (STFU, I like it!)
Puddle of Mudd- She Hates Me
Afroman- Crazy Rap
Elton John- I Want Love
Shaggy- Angel
Def Leppard- Pour Some Sugar On Me
Tony! Toni! Tone!- It Never Rains In Southern California
LL Cool J- Doin' It
Limp Bizkit- Break Stuff (It was editted, so that sucked)
Bon Jovi- Bad Medicine
Aerosmith- Amazing

The weird thing is that I had all of them downloaded on my computer before it crashed last year. Except the Afroman song, I have that CD, and LL Cool J, I love Doin' It, but I never downloaded it.

Well, that's it for me, this has been one hell of an entry, now with the new crazy work weeks ahead of me, I hope I'll be able to come on more often, I'll probably have to do it while listening to Elliot in the Morning.

I'm phasing.

P.S. Final Launchcast music break: JORDAN KNIGHT GIVE IT TO YOU!!! I MISS AND LOVE THE HELL OUT OF THIS SONG!!
