Today is gonna be 'writing day'. First, I have to go up to work and take part in the little dinner they're having. I don't want to go anywhere, especially THERE. Ah well, at least I don't have to stay and this is the only day I have to mess with anything. Well, I had to go to class last night, but we essentially just turned in our essays, decided to take our final exam on 'Pizza and a Movie', and wandered back out the door.

I decided to dump all my quests in Kalimdor and go right on over to the Eastern K's and quest right close to the portal until Acey hits 58, so he can go in and focus on questing in Outland. Thought everyone would be totally fascinated with my WoW plans! HAHA! Gotta hold off the WoW until the writing is done today tho. I hope to write tomorrow too, and maybe even make a manip! I wish my vacation lasted a lot longer than it is.

Might do the Renfest one last time this weekend too. Maybe! I really don't need to spend the money, but I love going to the damn thing.

OK! I know nobody cares, so...



( How about some clown?---> )

OMG, my boss just called me because his personal account was overdrawn and he wanted me to transfer money between his accounts. He can't figure out the transfer button between accounts? What's he gonna do when I'm not there anymore? :P

Busy day today. Lunch with a friend, then Wal-Mart to get food for the thanksgiving party tomorrow at work (my friend asked me to go. Blah) and dear lord, school tonight. That's the only I REALLY don't want to do. Just lemme turn in my essay and go home, don't feel like listening to over 2 hours of shit about out faux final exam.


( Clowny eeee---> )

FINALLY! I have another vacation coming between the week of Xmas and New Year's. I hope I'll be able to actually take that one and that my boss doesn't guilt me out of it. A friend sent me a lead on a job opening here in town this morning and I sent in my resume with the quickness. The essay is as done as it's gonna get, and I'll be turning it in tomorrow. I think I might actually shake this damn cold pretty fast too. I'm thankful it wasn't the flu! Being sick over vacation is just my luck!

WELL! On tap for the week for me is working on a few projects. One of which is changing the banner on my site, and attempting to make a new mainpage graphic, but that always takes me a long time. It's so hard to figure what I want to do. I want to make a manip or so. Manips can sometimes take HOURS to make, so I'll be realistic there! I have a few Joker stories I need to work on, and a few more to read. I want to hit level 58 in WoW and take pictures of Acey walking through the portal, like the big, green-haired Troll he is. I also want to hang out with my friend, do the coffee thing, or the shopping thing...or anything! :D

It's SO NICE not to be at my job. I think that place is literally killing me.



( CLOWN PIC SPAM!!!---> )

Joker Blogs...coolness!

Good lord, finally. The LAST day before vacation. This has been the longest week in the history of the world. I think I'm getting a cold, which royally pisses me OFF. I have way too much to get done next week to be laid up feeling sick. It's either that or whatever paint-stuff they're using on the apartment downstairs. I wish they'd just STOP!!

I see on Twitter that The Joker Blogs is going to have a new episode on Saturday! YAY! Looks like it'll be around evening time.

Ah clown...now I just....



( wanna stare at the pretty clown---> )

I keep trying to tell myself to hang in there and don't spazz, relief is on the way, all this crap is almost over with. Hurry up! What I'd LOVE for Xmas this year would be a kick-ass laptop and to be able to buy some new clothes that FIT. I'm tired of wearing clothes that fall off me or are so worn that I look like I just crawled out of a dumpster. I guess I can't use the excuse that I'm dressing 'retro' because all the shit I wear was NEVER in style. HAHA!!! Don't think I'll be able to afford any of that but, at least I know what I want for a change!

How much fun ARE we having lately? *looks around*



( OK. Time for the clown---> )

It's only Wednesday...gawd. Hurry!!!

Nothing much to talk about today. Essay's almost done, the formatting is going to be a pain in the ass, but at least the whole thing will be done, over and out of my hair in a week. One less source of stress. Two more sources of stress left.

Needs to cheer up.



( I wanna l00k at a cl0wn in dr4g---> )

Tired. Of. My. Job. Really, truly, without a doubt. Everyone feels the need to come running in here every time there's a question about the way we do things. They think I know everything and can figure out aaallll the problems so they don't have to think about anything, and don't get blamed for any decisions. Funny...they're all paid a lot more than I am too. Think I may use some vacation time to look for a new job. With the economy the way it is, good luck to me, huh?

School night tonight, I'm also not in the mood for that. Not in the mood for much of anything besides gaming. I hope I feel better next week, I really need to catch up on some J stuff.



( Someone say J-stuff---> )

LAST week before vacation. If I can make it ONE more week, I'll be able to be away from this shitty job for a little while and be able to do fun stuff. I got to register for classes for next semester, and thankfully they're art classes. I've got 2D Design and Drawing I. Hopefully these will be more fun and less stressful than this semester. That essay is really stressing me out. I have 6 out of 10 pages done! Almost there! I'm thinking the hard part will be done this week, and I'll have several days to play around with the formatting and all that MLA bullshit. I want it OUT of my hair, because I have a LOT of Joker-stuff I'm behind on. Joker-stuff is my way to de-stress creatively. I HAVE been playing a lot of WoW lately too, and THAT just means I'm not able to de-stress and am tuning it all out. I've been having some rather vivid and disturbing dreams lately. Has to be stress. Blah.

I did my friend's hair last night and she took me to PF Changs for dinner. I've never been there before! Very nice food, but I'm used to places like Denny's or the good 'ole BK Lounge or Mickie D's, so I was feeling a little outta my element. I didn't used to feel like that, I used to feel like wherever I was, that was THE place to be! Whatever happened to those days? :/

Ah well...dreary Monday, need to smile more!

( Speaking of THAT---> )

I'm drinking instant coffee! Before you freak out and wonder WTF is wrong with me, because that stuff usually tastes like shit, this is Starbucks instant coffee! A friend gave me a couple packets and I was initially keeping as a 'Break in Case of Emergency' thing, but...why drink good coffee in only an emergency? This morning I took some with me, and gave it a try. While it's not EXACTLY like happy-brewed Starbucks in the store or your coffee maker, it's really good stuff! I'd drink this every morning instead of the coffee I get at the gas station next door. For some reason, the coffee they make here at work doesn't taste good at all. Nothing like hot coffee on a cool morning...but sometimes I gotta switch up and drink hot chocolate.

WTF-ness? Essay is due on November 24th. I thought I had until December 8th. Not a problem, I can write my 10-15 (double-spaced) pages up before then for sure, it's just annoying. I tried to register for classes yesterday and was aggravated to find close to nothing offered around my schedule. I HATE this job. This stupid, pissy, time-hogging, low-paying, ulcer-inducing shithole of a job. Sometimes I feel like this place is some kind of blackhole and keeps sucking you in where you can't get out.

Blah. Need some pretties to cheer me up before I go looking for classes again!

( Clownie clown clown---> )

OK, I think I did pretty good on the test yesterday. Seemed like the answers were coming pretty easy! This semester ends on 12-08, can't wait! YAY!! Vacation is also coming up for me here in a couple weeks. I hope my boss doesn't try to guilt me into not taking it. He thinks just because I'm not going anywhere that I shouldn't even take it. It's HIS fault none of us can afford to go on vacation to Cabo all the time like he does. He's a greedy bastard, what can I say?

But...got a heavy day ahead of me here at the shithole, so I better get my dose of pretty and get to work.



( Mmmmm....preeetty---> )

OMG, I survived that shit yesterday! That was probably the WORST class period I've ever been through! We handed in what we had of our essays, and she passed them back out along with this 9-page 'peer review' sheet with all these detailed questions on it. Everyone had to review someone else's paper, and now honestly, I'm no help on something like that. I wouldn't say anything bad about someone's research paper even if it truly WAS bad, so my answers were pretty general. Besides, I'd been going since 6am and it was 7pm, I've been nervous about the presentation all day and I wasn't in the mindset to tear someone else's stuff apart. Anyway, finally the presentation came about. I ended up being #4 up, which was fine by me. We only had time for 5 presentations, so I'm glad I got to go. If I had to go another week with this hanging over my head I would have been unhappy.

Anyway! Today is a psych test which I haven't studied much for. I guess I'll be up in the book site a lot today. Psych comes pretty easy to me, not like I'd wanna do THAT for a living though.  No thanx.

M'kay! Enough of the who-cares stuff!

( Let's get on to the clown!--->> )

Well, here it is. Nerve-day. I practiced my presentation last night. My dogs were a really appreciative audience and their only question was, "Sooo...liek....if you're standing in the kitchen talking does that mean we get extra food?" They made angsty-faces at me. They angst over food. I love my dogs. They're so open. LOL

Obviously another day at the job from hell. Yesterday my boss tried to get out of making a money-decision. He was attempting to paint me into a corner about it so he could wiggle out of the responsibility for the action, then scream at me about it later. I'm tired of that shit, and tired of manipulative people in general. Grow the fuck up and stop it!

Yesterday we were talking about fanfics on here, and I liked that discussion! Fanfic is almost like food, everyone has their faves, and there's always something someone doesn't like. I'm really not into the Mary-Sue thing, but I've been in a couple different fandoms (OK, Joker fandom is my THIRD pfft) and I was tired of it from the first fandom. Judging between the WWE, Lord of the Rings and TDK/Batman fandom I'd have to say the very WORST were in the WWE.

AND, better hurry and start work, because there's a pile of papers sitting in here. But FIRST!


( Clownie pic-spam---> )

Man. I hate Mondays. I really do. Like I was just hollering on Twitter, Pumpkin Spice Lattes make Mondays a little better. I'm glad to be sipping one today!

So, instead of bitching about how much I hate Monday, I'll talk about something I'm actually grateful for, and that's getting my English presentation in order. I turned it into a kind of 'script' I can follow. So, I'll be reading it most of the time, but I tried to formulate the damn thing so I wouldn't get all nervous and rush through it. It's not gonna be one of the greatest speeches in modern times, but I'll get it done, and get some credit for it instead of botching it. I gotta thank my psych prof. too for talking about 'positive thinking' and telling us how to think our way through the bullshit your mind throws at you in a situation. Schools been stressing me out, but these two classes have been amazingly helpful to me.

I'm also grateful to Medevildead and Stevobalboa over on the Turalyon server, without whom I wouldn't have finised most of my questing in the Un'Goro Crater and went up 4 levels. Now if only my lobster stacks sell in the AH. Yeah, yeah. I played WoW, none of that makes any sense, I'll shut up now.


( Time for that clown---> )

I need to hurry so I can get to making a financial statement for the loan our company is attempting to get. Let's hope this time it'll actually happen. Something's gotta give or else we're going out of business. This is just ridiculous.

Got the format of my essay put together, and some stuff started on it. There's no way I'll have a draft of the whole thing ready for Tuesday, that's just craziness. They'll have to settle for a few pages.

AND! Let's get to the pretty stuff!

( J0k3r---> )

I've got a pretty heavy day today doing some things I probably shouldn't be doing. That's OK, perhaps they'll save everyone's jobs here and I might even be able to eat again without pain! I'm tired of all the anxiety. Gonna start on my essay, the idea there is to copy and paste my working bib into it, and re-work that quite a bit. Then, I can write the abstract, even though that's really not supposed to be done until AFTER the essay is finished she wants us to take a stab at it now. After all this, I can get a presentation together and have it done hopefully before Monday so I can relax a little.

BUT, since I have a heavy accounting day today, I better hurry and get to work. Gotta look at some secksy cl0wn for a start tho...



( EEEEEE!!!---> )

HUGE credit day coming up next Tuesday in English class. Twenty percent of our grade will be happening in that one class. I'm glad I did all my Renfesting and other stuff last weekend because this week and weekend will be devoted to writing as much of my essay as possible before Tuesday, creating a descriptive abstract and getting together a presentation...the presentation I'm going to botch on purpose, because I just don't do that kind of shit. If it was a group thing, I think I'd be pretty OK, but by myself for that long? No. I'll just take a lower grade. Big psych test next week too, looks like some of my work day is gonna end up becoming school time. This job takes up too much of my time anyway.

With all this stress this week, life sucks. I have enough stress. I should have taken some of the fun classes this time around. I had plenny-nuff homework and studying shit with the accounting classes. Speaking OF, it's time to sign up for next semester's classes already. I can finally take some art classes. Whoo! Let's see if I have enough money...wow! That's when hope truly fails. :/



( This is depressing. Where's that damn clown?---> )

Well. Anxiety day! I'm all behind on my english project now. Greaaaat. I don't even wanna go into class tonight but, gotta catch up sometime and somewhere! I'm maybe one class behind, so I'm kinda overreacting here, but at least I admit it!

I'll be damned if I didn't almost walk out of my job yesterday afternoon. My boss wants to see profit, yet not have any income on which to pay taxes...he wants the best of both worlds and can't have any of it, so this is all my fault and I'm a retard for not being able to make the impossible happen. Does anyone see the ridiculousness of the situation? Despite my distaste for spreading personal drama throughout every fucking social networking service I'm on, I Tweeted that I was ready to quit my job out of the total frustration of the moment, and had some rather unexpected yet positive conversation as a result. I guess it pays to sometimes just go "AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!" when you need to. I feel a little better about being here today, gotta keep thinking this place is only temporary.

What else? Who cares! I know everyone just comes to look at the pretty pictures, so let's do that!



( Clownie!---> )

I had another really great day at the Renfest yesterday! Went with a new friend and we had a wonderful time! I wore my Elizabeth Swann costume for the first time, and I don't think I'm gonna do that again. Or at least not the skirt part, because the damn thing drove me crazy. Plus I was stupid enough to wear a corset under it, and that was quite miserable. The corset sure didn't make me look any better, so...what the hell was I thinking? Stoopid!

I should know better than to watch zombie movies. On Halloween I watched Dawn of the Dead (the more recent version, 2005 or whatever) and I had a bizarre zombie dream last night. (Hate. Those.) I also had another really disturbing dream that wasn't about zombies, but was...disturbing anyway. :(

Well, time for some clown, because I have to get to work today. Yeah, Monday at this job I HATE so much that it's physical pain. Gotta have the morning smile!


( Clown gives morning smile---> )

OH boy! I was naughty and turned World of Warcraft on last night. Playing WoW usually means I disappear for awhile. That shit is like electric crack. They apparently did several patches while I was away, because I have to totally re-spec my character. I can never make up my damn mind about where to put skill points, so I'll be on that one forever. Screw it, I'll just go 'comparison shopping' today for builds. Looks like a slow day at work anyway. HAHA!!

Acey still has all his gold too! I was wondering  if someone might have hacked in, because assholes do that shit, but nope. This is a Joker-inspired character, no wonder he makes so much gold. He spends it like nothing too. :D



( Speaking of that clown, time to stare at his loveliness this morning---> )
