A small child

I have a cat named Ralphie. He's 3 or 4ish. I've realized over the last few days that he is like a small child to me, a small child who speaks another language. He follows me around the house everywhere i go, he talks to me in his foreign language, he likes to snuggle, he throws tantrums, he hides under the covers or bed when he's scared, he loves to play games, and he loves to chase and torment girls. I feel like i have adopted a small child from a foreign country.

Filling in the cracks

My room seems a bit more empty even though it's probably just as full. I know how much I removed so maybe that's why it seems less full. Yet when I put everything back I still didn't seem to have enough space. I'm afraid I'm a bit of a hoarder. Not to a scary extreme. I just get some mild attachment to random things. And in the process of putting things in trash bags I feel anxious but after they're in there and I know I won't take it out (I never really take things back out of the bag) I feel relief. Oh lord help me. It's so much easier to throw away other people's things. I think all I need are some clear containers so I can organize better. Maybe in the next few paychecks I'll splurge on some. So I was able to put for check marks on my long list of things. Quite proud of myself. Still a long way to go but I feel accomplished for the day. I do still need to take boxes down stairs and throw out the trash but I'll do that tomorrow.
And my room could use a nice vacuuming, but again I'll do that tomorrow. I have an over flowing DVD case problem that I need to figure out, should probably add that to the list. I have a feeling this list will grow with each thing that gets crossed off -_- I'm in for the long haul with this one. Oh the things you do to impress others. Goodnight world.

:O

Omg skinny jeans I haven't warn them in forever. My legs feel like they're getting a constant hug ^_^

Cleaning

Oh god I'm so tired of cleaning!!! Started around 11:30 and it's now 5 o'clock -_- taking a break and watching law and order. Cleaned out my closet, no pun intended. And cleaned up my desk area. Emptied out half my night stand and cleaned up a bit of my dresser drawers. Still have a bunch of stuff on my bed, I guess that's what I'll finish with as I won't be able to sleep with all this on my bed. Sigh. So tired but I found these :D

Dun dun duuuuuun

Long list

Ok so I started writing my long list of things to do before the end of June. My mother is quite happy about it I must say. Beginning tomorrow will be exactly 6 months. So I've got 183 days to get it done. 6 months sounds alot longer than 184 days. 184 days makes me nervous. Anyway. I'm off work for the next 2 days so I think I'll start on my closet tomorrow. Ugh how i dread it. My mom will be out of the house so there will be no complaining to clean up my mess.

Oy this boy

<.<

I hate the feeling of people talking about you behind your back, only it's not really behind your back it's like 5 feet from you or right around the corner from where you're standing. Can we please act like this isn't grammar school? Cause it's not amusing.

Im tired

Got called in for a short closing shift, and of course by the time I get to work I'm ready to sleep. Hopefully this shift will go quickly. Same shift tomorrow then I'm off for 2 days. Have not started my long list of things. Went for lunch with a friend then went with my mother to the grocery store. Layed around for an hour and now im at work. Maybe I should start with writting my long list before I start anything yeah? Pft I wanna go to sleep -.- money money money how I hate you.

Books books books

So I'm rereading the Harry Potter series. I finished número cinco like 2 or 3 summers ago and then stopped as I didnt own the next one. Well I bought número seis around the beginning of the year and started to read it, then thought I might have forgotten something as it's been so long since I read the other books so I started at the beginning. Got through the first 2 books in a few days then realized I didn't own tres or cuatro, so I waited until Christmas and I got them from ze mum and dad. So I started again. Looking forward to reading número seis y siete.
Also in the middle of Game of Thrones.
I saw the show on HBO and I loved it so I bought the book. It's pretty close to the show, with the exception of a few things but that's fine. Intro chapters to each character drug a bit for me but as soon as I got past that it's been smooth sailing.
Still have not finished World War Z >.< I will finish it at some point. I promise.
I have jurrassic park which I would like to start reading but i figure I should finish some of the others first yeah?
And I'm also reading Amy Tan's The Kitchen Gods Wife, which is depressing and I'm already depressed enough so I'm putting that one on hold for now. But still good.
I would like to read The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series but I have no money -_- and of course the one place I get a giftcard to for Christmas is best buy and they don't have books -_-
I've boughten a few more books I'd like to read but never got around to it :/ I'm going to have a lot of time on my hands over the next six months as I'm gonna try to not spend any money so maybe I'll get to them. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Zzz

So tired. And I'm not really sure why. Maybe it was the full plate of food I had before I left for work. But I'm at wok for the next 2 1/2 hours and i can't keep my eyes open :/ atleast I'm off tomorrow. Gonna get started on my long list of things to do before June 29th. I know it's 6 months away and I've got a long ways to go before then but knowing me I won't do anything between now and then and then it'll be next weekend and I'll be screwed cause I never touched my list. Might as well start now to get a head start on it :/ hopefully I don't pass out when I get home -_-

Holidays

So Christmas cleared up it's stormy weather around 7:30 Christmas eve. I wasn't going to go to my uncles but then found out my dad was gonna go by himself. And I didn't want him to go alone and spend christmas eve alone so I went with. My uncles house was a full house as usual. Bunch of people I see every year but don't know their names. And being as it was just me and him I had no one to hang around. Usually I stay with my mother or brother but I flew it solo. So I followed him around and he talked to the usual people he always talks to for hours. We had tamales which were good. Then slowly but surely people started to leave so he said let's go so we left. Got home mom and dad made up and unwrapped the gifts my cousin got for us. I got pink stereo headphones...maybe I'll get out my sharpie and get a little creative. Brother and dad got a universal tool. Was like a Swiss army knife without the knife. Mom randomly got scissors. Then I headed to my room, finished my wrapping then went to bed and watched jaws until I fell asleep. Woke up at 4:30ish texted my girl for a little bit then went back to sleep. Around 8-8:15 mom came in and got me out of bed and we all went down and did presents. Mom got a kindle fire, which my dad hasn't really put down since she took it out of the box. Dad got a billion DVDs of things he loves. Arin got a bunch of things off a wishlist from amazon. Austin got a wii. And then Arjn bought Austin and I both flat screen tvs which we were all shocked about. Usually for Christmas he doesn't do too much but this year between the family and his bf he must have spent 1000+. Insanium in the cranium. He looked quite pleased with himself. Then my mom made me a super Mario blanket which I <3 and i got two jackets and some DVDs, and socks which i desperately needed as all my other ones had holes in them -_- All in all everyone made me feel like a spoiled brat lol mostly it's the tv that makes me feel spoiled. Cause I didnt need or expect it. There was a large box behind my moms sewing chair and jokingly I was like ooo is that for me? And then turns out it was. Honest to god I was joking. I thought it was for my parents. So now there's a flat screen in my bedroom. Still in the process of cleaning my room up and getting everything situated. Almost time for dinner. Happy holidays.

What a joke.

It's amazing the shit you do for money. I will never step foot in my last job ever again. And the two faced scum bag that runs it can kiss my ass. Just saying. I know I don't get as many hours at my new job and I don't make as much money, and I know several people hate it there. But I really don't care what they say, it's definitely a breath of fresh air in comparison to the shit hole i used to work in. I feel bad for the friends that are still there. But I guess that's their choice.

Walking in a fucking winter wonderland

I'm ready for the holidays to be done and over and forgotten. Christmas used to be a happy time for me, I fully enjoyed it but now it's just depressing and makes me want to kick and scream. after the year that I've had I wish it wouldn't come. I've lost the most important thing to me on this earth, my 5+ year job, my car, two friends. And now to top it all off my parents aren't speaking to each other, 2 days before Christmas. Just fucking wonderful. I can't wait until January first.

Dragon tattoo

Saw the girl with the dragon tattoo. It was a bit different but it was still great. Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara) was different but great. Mara did a great job. I didn't like that they changed the ending, made Salander more "humanized" not sure if that's the word I want but I didn't care for it, it was like she went soft for a guy *eye roll* they basically made her a naive vulnerable girl, and the last thing she is is a naive vulnerable girl. I'm gonna have to rewatch the original soon to really compare as I saw it awhile ago and don't remember too much.

ZzZzZzZzZz

Long 4 1/2 hour shift -_- place was pretty dirty when I got there. Didnt get to take a break and had to bust my ass to get out on time :/ now Im warm in bed ready to pass out. Gonna be a long day in the kitchen tomorrow making cookies and other goodies for everyone. Just thinking about it is making me more tired. Sleepy sleepy sleepy. Goodnight.

Charlie is such a good boy

I've got 191 days until summer vacation begins and I've got a long list of things to do before then. As soon as Christmas is over im gonna jump back into the swing of exercising. I was gonna wait until the new year big I feel highly out of shape and figured I could use the week before then to get used to feeling like a lazy ass then start hardcore on the first (doubtful it'll be hardcore -_-)
All my Christmas shopping is done except I never found anything for my aunt. Will probably go get her a box of sees candy since it's right next to my work. Then all I have to so is finish my wrapping. I start and finish my baking tomorrow, gonna try to get it all done within a few hours. Will probably start around 11. Need to be done by 430 at the latest as I'm going to see the girl with the dragon tattoo. It's got a high percentage on rottentomatoes.com so I have high hopes for it, loved the original.
Mom is sick so we wont be doing Christmas with the rest of the family, just like thanksgiving. Probably won't do much for dinner either. Going to enjoy the day off though, or gonna try to anyway.
Well time to head inside and work.

Disneyland

So I went to Disneyland with the family yesterday it was a bit of a bust. Didn't get there until 1:30, mom was sick, it was packed we got on 3 rides. Had fun but it wasn't the best trip. Obviously. But here's a few photos anyway. And the one of me looking up is when it started (bubble) snowing.

Fuck

Well today officially sucked. If you don't think you're wrong about something do you stand down and apologize just because the other person is upset? Or do you let your pride dig you a deeper hole because you don't think you're wrong.
Sigh. I've seen zombieland 3 times this week because there's nothing else on, and it just came on again so I guess here goes número cuatro.
I got Christmas eve off but the closer might call off, I'd love the extra 8 hours on my check and I don't know if I want to go to my uncles this year. So I may work just for the sake of not going.
Ready for 2011 to be over. Holidays and all.

World War Z

For the life of me I am unable to finish World War Z. It's not that I don't want to, it's just that everytime I try something happens and I have to stop reading. Today I fell asleep. 8 hour shift and one hour later I crawled in bed and attempted to finish, even told myself "today im going to finish" after 2 mini chapters my eyes began to droop and I passed out for an hour and a half. One day, one day. I suppose it's time for bed. Off work for the next 3 days. Let the relaxing begin.

Life post

I think im giving up on my other blog and coming back here. Life has gotten really shitty. It's got it's good moments from time to time. The shit overpowers the good a bit but what can you do. The people i care about get me through the day. Christmas is right around the corner. Money is tight. Trying to get my car fixed, hopefully within the next month. Gas is a killer. Work is rough. Not enough hours. It's a wonder I'm not turning gray (though I am guilty of checking for them often)
Almost done with my Christmas shopping, now doing shopping for my dad for my mom. He never knows what to buy her. And I know all the things she bought him and good lord he has a ways to go. Then I gotta buy cookie mix and make the usuals cookies and possibly rice crispy treats. Gotta finish wrapping. Disneyland on the 20th. And then the 5 day countdown to christmas, besides the impossible all I want is my car back, that and enough hours at work to afford to save money. Summers coming quick. 204 days until summer vaca and 217 until comic con twenty12.
Well enough complaining time for bed, work in the am.
