Listening to: Kill the Rock -- MSI Time: 3:15 AM (Crap, I'm staying up too late) Blah, I need to go to bed, but I can't stop watching the GetBackers! I'm only on episode 8 and tomorrow I won't get to watch much b/c I have to vaccum the carpet then steam clean it, which is about a 2 hour process. Between waking up and going to work I only have 3 hours of free time which I need most of to play Xbox Live since I can't play it at night anymore cause of the connection. I have to call AT&T tomorrow about our internet connection. For some odd reason, at exactly 9:30 at night, the connection goes haywire and starts disconnecting and connecting every 5 minutes, so it makes playing Xbox Live impossible. Work has been rough. I got my paycheck Friday to discover that after all the days I worked during the past two weeks hasen't given me much money. I had to pay off the 250 dollar check advance and I had only earned $260, but I made a deal with the boss that I would pay off 125 with this check and 125 with the next. That left me 130, which was 50 dollars short of getting my Xbox 360 back. Luckily, my dad's $370 check and I was able to get it. Now I have about 10 dollars left, and I have to work Fourth of July, but it pays 9 dollars an hour instead of the usual 6 per hour. Thats gonna be alot of pizzas to make -_- As for Workmen's Comp (To answer Jomz), they suck. Three years ago my dad got hurt on the boat he was working on, so he was entitled to get paid Workmen's Comp. He's suppose to get his settlement of around 20,000 dollars, but they keep delaying it by making up excuses. Sometimes they cut off his check saying he didn't do something like go to his doctor's appointment. Right now, they cut his check in half b/c they want him to get a job to make up for the other half they took off. Last week they said that they might totally cut his check off again for some unknown reason, but he still got the check, so I don't know about that. Overall, it seems we're never going to get the settlement because of all the stupid delays and excuses. Okay okay, I'll stop talking now. I'm going to go watch one more GetBackers episode then I'll go to bed since I have more work tomorrow.

Tornado!!!!

Listening to: --- Time: 12:20 AM Well today was a long day. I went through my first tornado. I wanted to tell everyone but no one was on their cboxes *tear* Around 1:30 me and my dad went up the block to the store I work at to get some snacks. On the way there, a BIG rain cloud in the distance. Go to the store and come back. I stay outside on the porch to watch the lightening and enjoy the wind, but the transformer blew out so we lost our power. Then I start hearing some loud thuds so I go inside not wanting to get hit by pecans. Go inside to watch from behind the door when it starting hailing. I was like "WTF! Why the freak is it hailing?!" Then all of a sudden, our swings from our front yard fly across the porch! Half of the tree in our front yard falls, and the tree next to our house falls on top of my room and the backyard's fence. Luckily, no holes in my room, my brother's closet flooded pretty badly. Meanwhile, the guy from across the street is running to our house b/c a tree fell down on his trailer and made a huge hole in his roof, so his trailer got flooded. They said that the tornado formed right above the store I work at, and came down the street straight towards our house, but it never touched down. It just said above the houses. After the rain died, we went out, like every other freakin person in the town, to see the damage. The store that I work at got flooded a little, but her house that was being attached to the store, got heavy flooding. Down the street from us, one of the power poles snapped in two and came down along with the transformer. So after the stupid investigating, I came back home and helped clean up the yard. Unfortunately, today was trash day, so most of the trash got blown away down the street along with the trash lids. Four o'clock rolls around and I have to go to work. My luck that today I had to work as Pizza girl at the only place that had electricity in the town, so what better way to eat then to order pizza. There were so many pizza orders when I walked, I forgot to clock in. Thankfully it calmed down around 7, but my legs hurt so badly now. I got home and there was still no electricity, but we just got it back around midnight. Anyway, I need to go clean the kitchen since most of the food in the fridge and freezer went bad. I need an advil first.

Listening to: Tripod Baby -- M-Flo ft. Lisa (Shadow the Hedgehog game) It's still going steady around here with our financial issues. Today I had to ask for a 250 dollar advance on my paycheck so my dad can pay his car note. She gave me the money and said that she'll take it by the hours, anyone knows what that means? So I don't know what I'm expecting Friday when I get my check. I think I'll still have enough to gey my xbox 360 back, but for a couple of days, cause then we'll have to loan it out again. Wait, I may not be able to get it back at all cause my dad said that Workmen Comp's were cutting his checks off completely, which means I'll be the only one in the house with an income. Also, my computer had a virus for awhile, but its gone now. The keypads are stickin really bad b/c my dad spilled coke all over it. One problem after another. I mean, I have the high stress level of a freakin 30 year old, a really bad anxiety problem on my hands, and I'm getting depressed so easily. I just feel so hopeless.

Listening to: Chu-Bura (Full Version) -- Kelun (Bleach Ending 15) #127 on playlist Hello, sorry for not updating in awhile. I've still been around chatting away on cboxes. Life around this troubled house has settled down. We managing through our financial troubles since my dad got 75 for selling scrap metal to some scrapyard and now we have 150 in food stamps. So I think we can survive through next week, hopefully. The really really bad thing is my uncle that I said had a heart attack in the last post. Turns out 3/4 of his heart has died and he's on his death bed. I want to go see him but my dad said he really doesn't want to. Not to be mean, but he said that if he was to go see him then he'll always remember the image of him of him on his death bed. He doesn't want that, but I still want to see him. Anyway, I have to work early tomorrow at 2 instead of 4. Thats early to me b/c I usually wake up at 1. Today at work was long. I never got a chance to take a break to stock up on ingrediants. I deserve a raise. My friend who works with me, but as a stock boy, got his raise. He said I was probably next to get a raise since some other co-workers told the boss I was working really hard. Then the boss complimented me when we were closing the shop. Bwahaha. There are 5 teenagers who work at the store. Me, two other pizza girls, and two stock boys. The older people work registers. They said that my friend and I are the only ones who actually do our work. The black girl who I told some of you about, well she works 2 days each week and about 5 hours in each day. Last week she got all pissed b/c her paycheck was so small and she said she should get paid more. The boss chewed her out for that one, and guess what, she's already took some days off even though she's only been working for two weeks. I haven't taken a day off yet and I've been working for a month and a half. Well the other pizza girl, blonde headed popular girl, keeps pushing her shifts on me. I wanted more hours, but not this many, specially Friday's like tonight. And the one other stock boy is on the verge of getting fired b/c he's too lazy and not doing his job. Okay, I'm talking too much. I need to go to bed.... want more soda first... Sprite. I want Sprite. **EDIT** I forgot to say. Even though I worked well tonight, I accidentally broke one of the work phones and didn't tell anyone about it. But I was cleaning my place and I lifted one side of this plate thingy that the phone was sitting on top of. It slide off and into one of the ingredient buckets. It was full of yellow bannana peppers and a bunch of its juice. It worked for awhile but while I was on the other work phone, it started ringing and then started beeping. Then it died. So I put it back on the charger and walked away... hmmmm, I hope no one finds out about it.

Warning: Very Long, Bitchy Rant Approaching

Listening to: Paradise -- Do As Infinity (Inuyasha) #50 on playlist *Noitce how I alphabetized the whole playlist by artist and then by songs It has been one hellish day today!! And everyday after this will be just as bad! Let's start at the top: This morning I woke up to my dad and his girlfriend arguing over the phone where he also said that I wasn't doing shit and the house was wreck, which put me in a horrible mood this morning. After he calmed down he told me about how we have three bills due in three days, the water and gas bill and dad's car note. For the car note, he was going to borrow money from his sister and brother-in-law when they come down to visit Thrusday. So that left the water and gas bill. He had only 20 dollars and I had 40 left, which left us about 50 dollars short. The only good solution that was available was loaning the 360 out for money again, about 150 dollars. That would pay the gas and water bill and leave us with some money for food. On one good note, my dad has a appointment tomorrow for food stamps. I'm crossing my fingers that he gets it, but he told me that in order to be eligible he has to hide the fact that I have a job and my 19 year old brother (<--I have a whole bitchy rant about him approaching as well) is living with us. So my dad and I sat in the living room trying to come up with solutions that don't involve loaning the 360. He calls out my 19 yr brother to tell him of the situation. He freaks out saying that the internet better not turn off, because he can't live without it or his World of Warcraft. My dad told him clearly that the internet is the last thing to get paid. My dad told him he could help out by getting a job, but what does he do? "I can't take living like this anymore, I'm moving out." Fucking abandons us! If I could, I would beat the living shit out of him but it wouldn't teach him anything, so I think the best thing would be to let him move all the way to Wyoming so he could attend his computer programming classes, but he's not going to show up at them because he's too lazy to get off his ass and World of Warcraft. He also won't get a job b/c of the game. So if he does move out, I bet in about a month or less, he'll come crying back like the spoiled child he is. Oh wait a sec, after he made the moving out statement, he went to his room and about 5 minutes later my dad called him back out. He comes out with his eyes swollen and his red face saying he's making a phone call so he could talk it out with his online girlfriend. Obiviously he was crying b/c he didn't want to lose the internet. My dad told him that he should talk to the family and not to someone who has no concern in the matter. He walks back to his room saying he had enough of our family. Just because he can't get what he wants handed to him on a golden platter. Enough about that lazy bum though. After he left, I decided to help out by loaning the 360 out. I was really (20x) sad about it, but I was able to let it go. So me and my dad went to the pawn shop to loan it, we got 150 for it. Went to the bank to pay the water bill. He gave me some of my money back... 10 dollars back. He dropped me off at my dentist appointment and went to go pay the gas bill. After the dentist appointment, I came home to start cooking and cleaning. Then he got me to follow him in his truck while he drove the riding lawn mower back to a friend's house. There, he learned the fact that his brother-in-law, my uncle, who was suppose to visit Thrusday, had a heart attack and is in the hospital. He's going into surgery tomorrow. My dad got super pissed for many various reasons: Number one, the friend who is not a part of the family, knew before he did. Plus his sister didn't call him or anything. Number two, his sister told us not to go and visit, BUT the bitch (their step-daughter) who lives next door to us and pratically drove them out of town, gets to go and visit acting like she's sweet and innocent. Number three: He can't ask for the money to pay his car note which means the car is going to get impounded. Also, I have a bad feeling that my dad's sister and the friend who knew about it first, is slowly going to turn on him and us too. Thats about it for the big stuff. A minor detail is that I messed up dinner. I fixed my favorite dish which is Beef Stew at the moment, but it's got a burnt taste in it because I scrapped(sp?) at the burnt gravy at the bottom. That pissed me off, so I ended up eating leftovers. So thats was my hell on earth day. Wonder how tomorrow will go? Oh, and starting today (Wednesday) I will be working every day. 5 hour weekdays and 7 hour weekends.

Listening to: Why -- Ayaka (Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core) #17 on playlist There's been some exciting times for me lately. I got Call of Duty 4 for my 360 and I've been playing live with Musclepark and suichiro8705 from MyO. It's so much fun. Otherwise, I have a dentist appointment tomorrow and a doctor appointment sometime this week, hopefully; I think I have an anxiety problem. The boss called to give me more hours: 2 extra hours on Saturday and Sunday, and since someone is going on vacation, I have to work Monday and Tuesday. So now thats: Saturday and Sunday's 2 to 9; Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays 4-9. That makes... 58 hours... which would be about 356 dollars. That should help a little more since my dad's paycheck was cut in half. I'm sorry that I haven't been getting around to commenting. My days have been busy.

Listening to: Fantastic 3 -- Home Made Kazoku ft. Seamo #2 on playlist OMG! That was one of the hardest nights I ever worked so far! I will never take a shift for Friday again. It was just order after order plus, I was having it rough b/c I kept messing up pizzas. That was the first time I messed up my orders. Then around 9 some lady ordered 6 pizzas and then 4 people called right after her and placed their orders. I messed up on one of her pizzas and a co-worker took another one of her pizzas. Soon I was scrambling around trying to finsih her pizzas and get to the others. So I just dragged one of the co-workers who was working register to make the other ones. It turned out well in the end, but crap I'm tired! Then I have to do this again tomorrow and Sunday. Since Father's Day is Sunday, do you think alot of people would order pizzas that day? I got paid today too. My dad took a hundred of it for his medicine. The bigger problem is that he got paid today also, but Worker's Comp cut his paycheck in half, so that makes it even harder on me. *sigh* That PS3 is starting to become a long distance dream now. Oh well, I'm going to go buy Call of Duty 4 and a new Xbox Live headset tomorrow. I have a feeling my dad is going to hog the game to himself though. The mice count has gone up to ten. Thats 10 mice so far, hopefully no more this time. Sorry Twists, they do get killed by the mousetraps, but its the best thing we could find. The other trap we looked at was a glue pad, which is bad because the mouse gets stuck to it and he dies a long horrible death. So the regular mouse traps are the best. I don't like it myself, but we have to get rid of them somehow. So I think I'm going to bed. It's a miracle, me going to bed at 11:30 instead of the usual 3 in the morning.

Listening to: Yuki no Tsubasa -- Redballoon (Gintama ending) #105 on playlist Hello friends ^^ Today was good, probably a bit on the boring side. All I did was play Halo 3 online. I'm doing a theme change but I don't exactly know what to switch to. So don't fret if you notice a different background every 5 minutes or so. What about a 'Ouran High School Host Club' theme since I've never done it before.... or 'Tokyo Majin' Also, I'm sorry that I haven't been commenting much. I read the post and everything but when I go to comment I just lose all the energy. Blah. So sorry. Anyway, I'm going to go play around somewhere, probably photobucket or google, and mess with my site some. I've got to go to bed early this time because I have to pick up some girl's shift tomorrow night. *EDIT* Crap, we still have more mice. Haha! How you like this theme? I wanted a Pein background but I couldn't find one that I was comfortable with. Besides, the current bg is peaceful. So I like it.

Listening to: Forever We Can Make It! -- Thyme (To Love-Ru~Trouble) #235 on playlist *yawns* It's been a long rough night. Work was actually easy, but its after I came home that dragged me down. Well I came home and my dad was pissed off again for some unknown reason, so he took it out on me. First he yelled at me, "Get on the computer and get your mother's phone number NOW!" so she can send us money. I sat in the computer chair and signed into my yahoo account when he walked into the kitchen. He saw some leftover food in a skillet left on the counter, "Feed this to the dogs NOW!" Then he looked at the dirty dishes, "Wash this NOW" ...... what the mess?! This all happened when I walked into the house at ten o'clock. Tonight, probably after I post this which will be around 2 or so in the morning, I'm going to go into the backyard to get some fresh air. Lay on the trampoline, stare at the stars, the peaceful stuff. But anyway, I caught up to the latest chapter 'Skip Beat' Overall the manga is pretty cute and funny. It has its ups and downs. Some chapters are boring (Like when Kyouko meets Moko's family) while other chapters are pretty exciting (Like the part with Kyouko's stalker!) My fav characters are Ren and Director Ogata (Holy crap he looks like Yuki from Fruits Basket. I hate Shou! He has no right to claim her he threw her away in the first chapter, she belongs to Ren!! *cough cough* Now I think I'll go and play on youtube some. If you want to talk to me on there it's: youtube.com/user/WolfofDespair I tried to play on imeem awhile ago, but it doesn't like my computer too much. I did kind of rearrange my playlist a bit, but not much. Oh ya! Guess how many mice we have caught in our house? 8! 8 mice. Thats alot. The little fuckers were living under our house next to our air conditioning unit. Hopefully thats all the mice there is.
