Kiritsu's life

I don't plan on having much not public anyway.

Friending welcome, but I may take a bit to friend you back.

Should you be looking for my fanfiction, it's currently at nyxserpent. No fics, but some other random fandom stuff found at nyxserpent.

I have an icon that should go with this post. The reason it isn't? It's on my portable hard drive that I left at home today thinking I wouldn't need it.
The icons in question says: Stupidity should be painful
I plan on adding it whenever I finally get home tonight.
The other icon that goes with this? The one for this post.

Why are these icons appropriate?
Because of this:

So I get in the elevator to go down two floors so I can get out of this building and to the one my class is in. It goes down half a floor to the bridge leading to another building. This group of girls gets on. (I say Girl for each one because I only know that one of them was speaking, not if it was a different one. They all had that high-school-preppy-cheerleader voice, so I wasn't even going to try to tell them apart.)

Girl "I think we need to go to the bridge"
Me "That was the bridge" *makes elevator stay there*
Girl "Oh. We need to go down like half a floor or something"
...The half-flight down to the 3rd floor is RIGHT NEXT TO THE ELEVATOR.
I mentally begin the chant: "Not allowed to kill them because they're idiots"
Me "You want 3 then." *lets doors close after hitting button for 3rd floor*
Girl "Yeah"
We go down another half a floor.
Me "Third Floor, Ballroom and whatever else is on this floor"
Girl "Yeah, this is the one we need, I think."
They leave, door closes.
I sigh in relief, and pray I don't run into them again. I don't think my sanity could handle it.

I'm just glad I was able to resist the urge to headdesk once I got to class.

did manage to get laptop
am on it now
am happy

GODDAMNED MONKEY-FUCKING ASS LICKING SONS OF BITCHES!

Do NOT use DHL for shipping. Ever. They suck royal monkey dick, balls, and ass. Royally.

Dell decided to use them to ship my new laptop. Ok, whatever, right?

WRONG

They 'tried' Monday, but no one is home Mondays so we didn't get it. Whatever. We tell them to try again Wednesday 'cause someone will be there.
What do they do? Try Tuesday. Ok, they're idiots, whatever.
My sister and I were home watching on Wednesday. THEY NEVER CAME. Now I'm kinda pissed.
So we tell them to come Friday, 'cause I'm home all day Fridays.
They try THURSDAY. Pissed. Contemplating physical violence.
I watched out the front window from 8 am to about 2:30 pm on Friday. THEY NEVER CAME. Pissed. Death to DHL.
Called again. Was told that they were gonna put it on the truck for today and I'd have it by 12:30. Good. Will FINALLY get laptop.

12:30 my ass.

I still don't have my laptop. I've been told that they would never put anything on the truck for today that wasn't originally scheduled to be on that truck. Also, we have to go and get it since they tried to deliver three times.
Not that there's ever been a notice left at the house saying that they were here and we weren't.
And we can't go get it today, 'cause apparently they're only open certain hours and we can't call there 'cause they don't give out the fucking number.

Am extremely pissed. Am going to go kill zombies or something in online game to quell urge to blow up DHL shipping center.

Fucking assholes can go kiss my ass. UPS ftw. They get me my stuff. Only issue we ever had was a new guy going to the wrong house.

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list in your own LJ(or IJ) so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them ;-)

So I finally had it happen. I rang up someone at work and their total was $6.66. *snickers*

I need to remember to tell Randi that she can't use bleach on everything she cleans. It's a health code violation. Should she ignore me, I'll leave a note for the bosses.

Should I ever work with Mike at night again I need to make sure he doesn't cash out the draw before 11:30. Doing it at ten is just stupid, even if it's the slowest night of the entire week. We still had three people come inside during the last two hours, and 'cause he'd done all the end of shift stuff it had to be rung on the other draw.

Um...that's it for tonight. Any other updates on my life can wait until after I've gotten some sleep.

Well, getting this up took long enough. I tried about 15 times when I got home from work last night, and several more since I got up at noon. And it only made it onto insanejournal a couple minutes ago.

Apparently the ignighter for the furnace died at some point yesterday. It was running, but there was no fire. And no one could come look and find out what was wrong last night.
To make things even better, my room is over the garage, making it colder than the rest of the house. And it went below freezing last night. I actually pulled out an extra blanket for the first time in the 5 years my family's been in this house. Didn't wind up using it, but still. I never use more than the two already on my bed, and will still kick those off in the middle of winter and turn the fan. Being naturally warm does that. Shinju has so many blankets on her bed already that she probably didn't have to worry about the cold until she got up this morning (her room is also over the garage).

Saw Sweeney Todd on Sunday. Still have "A Little Priest" in my head.
Alan Rickman sings. It's too bad he's about as old as my dad...were he about half his age I'd do him. But just listening to his voice was still...*fans self*
Anyway...
Movie has three people from the HP films in it. Judge=Alan Rickman=Snape, Mrs. Lovett=Helena Carter=Bellatrix Lestrange, and Beadle=Timothy Spall=Peter Pettigrew. Which caused me to crack up when I first saw the preview for the movie.
And then there's Johnny Depp. *fangirls*

Did the official "not posting on this anymore" entry on my LJ. I'm not abandoning it completely as I have friends who still use it and will not give up my right to post in Co-Workers Suck or Customers Suck just because I don't like LJ.

Do not, repeat, DO NOT wear hooker boots for anything that requires standing/walking for 2 1/2 hours total for the day when there is work that night.
4 1/2, 5 hours of boots with 2 1/2 spent not sitting? BAD IDEA.
Thankfully, it's Sunday so I was able to actually sit for a while at work.
Love hooker boots, just aren't used to standing in them for more than an hour. Oh well. My fault for wearing them.

And at work tonight we have learned that the drama from high school really does follow you your entire life. You can never escape.
So, since The Drama Continues, my reaction should as well. I'll go into what Wolfie called 'stasis'. Put my head down, cover my ears, and ignore everything until it's over.

Then I came up with this:

Episode VII
The Drama Continues
A short time ago in a town (not so) far far away...
DRAMA WARS

Drama Wars I, Enter the Freshman
Drama Wars II, I Want You (to go out with me)
Drama Wars III, Evil Overlords (make the best friends)
Drama Wars IV, End of an Era
Drama Wars V, Return of the Freshman
Drama Wars VI, Attack of the Stoned
Drama Wars VII, The Drama Continues

...

>_>

Ok, so I was kinda bored.

Rant:
WHAT THE FUCK?! IT'S HOLY SATURDAY FOR FUCK'S SAKE! YOU COULDN'T HAVE WAITED TO DO YOUR VANDALISM UNTIL AFTER EASTER?!
Ugh.
Do you have any idea what this does to my sister? It's like M, but worse, and she's much too big for me to pick up like I did M.
Do we really have to start getting people to watch the cars during mass again? Nobody liked having that job but it did make it stop.

Backstory:
I'm Catholic. I'm in my Church Choir. We had the Easter Vigil mass tonight. My mom felt better (she's been sick) and managed to come to the mass tonight. After mass we started talking to my Uncle (we haven't seen him much) and his two granddaughters (let's call the older one "S", and the younger one "M"). My Mom, my sister, and I decided to head out before they shut the lights off on us. My Uncle, S, and M were coming with us. He stopped to talk to someone he hadn't seen in a while, and we brought S and M out to his car. Realizing he'd probably be a while, we brought them over to my Mom's van so that we could all sit down and warm up while we waited for him.
So Mom unlocks the doors, and I start climbing in thinking only of how good it would feel to finally take my heels off. Which made me totally oblivious to the mess inside. My mom says to get out, 'cause she opened the passenger side door and realized that the driver's side window was broken. Someone broke in while we were at mass.
It was easy enough to calm down S, but M was much more worried and upset. I picked her up and held on to her because she got more worried any time a car came nearby. I kept carrying her until my Uncle showed up, which was after the police got there.
Apparently someone else who left the Church quicker than we did had also had their vehicle broken in to. Sadly, the woman had all her Easter gifts inside. Nothing appears to have been stolen from us, but we don't leave anything important in there where it would be easily seen. We're lucky that my mom didn't decide to leave her wallet in the van.
*continues to push back urge to have nervous breakdown*
