I don't really have much to say.
My life seems to have hit another rut, so why am I so busy?
My days seem to be filled lately with numerous phone calls to costomer service to return defective consumer electronics, and trips to Trader Joe's to return spoiled fish.
I went out to eat yesterday. My mom got paid, so it's like super happy funtime again. If only it could be like this the whole month. I will think harder about going to the temp agency next week. Even tho I don't really want to...
Last night I learned there is a web site dedicated to listing the names of "lost" crayola crayons. I was determined to finish the crossword, so I enlisted the help of google. Even with google, I only got about 5 words. Granted, I was sidetracked by wikipedia, where I happened to find a word that happened to lead to another word, then another, then to evangelion, then to psychological disorders, and all I spent about 3 hours wondering if I have Autism, Asberger's, or any other of a large # of disorders suddenly seem obvious that you have when you surf the net at 2am, & knowing for sure that I don't have the Rei, Shinji, or Asuka personality disorders. The 3 characters really are archetypes of Shizoid, Avoidant & Narcissistic, respectively. There's not even any symbolism involved.
I think the search started with me wanting to find out, once and for all, whether David J.'s song "the Enochian Angel of the 7th Aether" is in fact a long quote from the Bible. It turns out it has to do with the "Book of Enoch", included with the Dead Sea Scrolls, and questioned in the religious community as to its heavenly origins vs. fraud, altho it was determined to have been written circa 100 B.C. - 200 A.D.
I also bought a CD holder shaped like a ladybug today. It was from Target, so it's practically guarenteed to fall apart, but so cute I couldn't resist. Tomorow I plan to go to the Anime convention in L.A. or paint my nails. Either way. -
shitty day, and it's only noon...

OMG, My stupid bank canceled my credit card because of my credit report that they didn't like. Apparently, even if you pay your card on time, or, and never even miss one payment, they can be little bitches & cancel the card anyway because you didn't make a payment on another card. They refused to tell me what card the missed payment was on, even when I pointed out that it was my info, that they obtained without my permission. So basically, I'm screwed til I'm 30. Exactly 30. Because it takes 7 years for your credit errors & bad credit to go away. So no apartment, house, car, loan, student loan, bank account, credit card, checking account, savings account, bank account for me. No debit dard, no frequent flyer miles. I can't even buy a plane ticket because they now require that you use a credit card! The big stupid mean old credit card companies have REALLY overstepped their boundries with the new laws being passed by congress.
Does anyone care about any of this, my problems, my stupidity for being angry that my interest rate tripled after 2 months & so I refused to pay the cards, causing the rates to double? Probably not. I bitch WAY too much. It's not so bad. I can always use cash. Except to get paid with, in case I ever get hired....How exactly DO people with bad credit & no checking account cash their paychecks, anyway? Huh....
I remember when I first moved to California, and didn't hae a bank account, or a credit card (I had a clean, virginal white credit report, too. *Whistful sigh* I was in such a hurry to give it away...) I couldn't get a check cashed. The only place that does it is Vons, and the girl took like a fifth for herself, then walked away before I could say anything! I was so pissed about that....
Must write something positive. Mad Sin is awesome! They're this psychobilly band I recently discovered. Wonder if they are still together, and if I could see them in concert. Good thing I like indie music, because unsigned/indie label band concerts are just in my price range :)
As my horoscope today says:
"Scorpio
Darkness is to light what a seeming setback is in your midst. This is just a reminder of where to set your sights. Be kind with your self (they typed that as 2 seperate words). You deserve to be treated like a good student."
It's creey how dead on this is. Usually I get a bunch of nonspecific crap, but it's like they wrote it just for me. Maybe everyone gets one fortune like this once in their life...I wonder if Ireally deserve to be treated like a good student, when I pull in Bs & Cs? Probably not, but who cares? -

OMFG, I am in SO MUCH pain. Cramps. Went shopping. It lasted a good 2 hours. Yup. 2 hours in Robinson's May, standing, walking, carrying. I got a cute pair of shoes & a shirt out of it, and found out I have a negative balance on my card, which I ws unable to use for some unknown reason. By that time, I hurt so bad I had to sit. They told me to go upstairs, but that was not going to happen. I hate shopping when I'm on my rag. Now I feel alll achey & icky.
On a side note, I have had the "song" "Highway 40" by Brak stuck in my head all day, probably cuz of the amv. I have never heard Brak sing outside of amv form. It's a good amv, I recommend it if you like Brak.
