hehehe. That (and countless others) is what I've been doing for the last hour or so. Yeah, I've gone from
chronic procrastinator to lazy ass with nothing to do. lol Actually, I was just fiddling around while trying
to jump start my brain. I have this urge to completely redesign this page again, but seeing as how I've only had
it for a mere 5.5 months, I'm thinking I'll maybe wait till the end of the year. Then again, 5.5 months is a
long time in webpage age. haha. One thing holding me back though is the skills, or lack thereof, required to
design it the way I imagine. Eh..whatever. I'll get over it.
I left work early today. Almost everyone was out today, and those that did come in had already left by
4:30. I also wanted to make sure I got home before it started raining again. It was soooo cold today I was
almost surprised it didn't snow. Sheesh! In fact, I'm shivering now cuz my room, in my opinion, gets the least
of the heat from the heater (Fucking anna...but that's another story). Yeah, so what if I'm a wimp. At least
I was fortunate to grow up in "paradise" most of my life. So nyah! =P
Anyway, where was I going with this? Oh yes...so on the BART I started thinking about Christmas. My first
Christmas away from home...EVER. I think its gonna be a bit tough. No christmas tree smell to wake up to, no
decorating a tree, no relatives to see, no traditional grab bag game, no chon. NO chon!! WAH! I should have my
halmunee send me some overnight or something. Its soooo ono. That and the mandoo. Ooh the mandoo! wah!! Its
not fair. Hrmm, food seems to be the center of my life.
Won offered to let me celebrate Christmas with her and her roommates since I guess she's not going back home
either. I hope that's still on the table otherwise I'll be one lonely cookie. Mmmm, cookies....sugar cookies
shaped like xmas trees. hehe.
The whole dilemma of Christmas shopping hit me today. I have no idea what to get most of the people on my
list. I hope to figure Grant's out when I go to visit, but then once that's settled I have the additional stress
of figuring out a bday present for him since his comes not even a month later. Sheesh! I really want to get
my dad a DVD player, but I'm not sure if my finances can sustain it..although I'll try. Maybe I'll try splitting
it with my sister. My mom mentioned that she wanted a rice cooker. Not one of those high tech, self-timing,
talking Japanese ones mind you. She wants one of those ghetto white ones with the metal lid. lol. She has
one with a glass lid now and she doesn't like how it leaves a rice film on the kitchen windows. *slapping
head* I wonder about her sometimes.
My sister...that's a whole nother story. I'd get her a brain if I could. She apparently got into a car
accident recently while reaching for her cellphone. Such a babo. She hit a mailbox and tree and didn't tell
the owner. erg..but she's otherwise ok. She just has to pay my parents back...$2400. ugh. Maybe I'll get her
some decent clothes while I'm at it. Actually, I was just going to give her something useful for her first
semester of school since my parents are going to be paying for her tuition now. Yeah..that way maybe she'd have
a better chance at doing well and won't have any excuse to fail. HA! yeah right.
Then you have all the obligatory people: people you call "friends," maybe a coworker or two that you especially
click with (although I don't really have any..no, that's not bad..I just don't work with anyone I'd like
to keep in touch with 5 years from now), and then the roommates. Ugh. Do I HAVE to get something for Anna?
<!-- Beginning Anna Rant -->
Let's just forget the fact that she's paying only 740 for the BIGGEST room just becuase she "doesn't think that
room is worth more than that." I mean, I have the SMALLEST room and I don't think its worth more than 670 yet
here I am paying 700?! But yes...lets move past this bitterness that has lingered on for almost 3 months as I
have already ranted about this more than enough times than I'd like to remember.
- First of all, she just doesn't know how to fucking shut up about school. I'm not even in school and I miss it
a bunch but I swear she has nothing else of interest to talk about other than how hard her classes are, how
stressed she is, how she's going to fail her midterms, how she has so many pages left to read...I mean, I admit
I used to do that too but not to this extreme. This must be punishment for all the times I've done it. She
doesn't even do that badly on her exams! Tammy does MUCH worse and Tammy just sucks it up and shuts up. We are
both on the verge of stuffing a sock in her mouth...seriously.
- And while we're on the subject her her talking...she does not know how to talk softly! I swear you can practically
hear her phone conversations halfway down the fucking block! Does she NOT know how to shut her fucking door
and let the rest of us exist in peace? And on top of that, most of the time she's blabbing about school! As
if I don't have to put up with it enough as it is! She has woken me up a couple of times on the weekends when
I finally get to sleep in...now THAT is just asking for it. That and the way she slams drawers, doors, and
stomps down the stairs on her way to training for the clinic on weekends. Does my precious sleep mean nothing to her?
Its not like I go pounding on her walls every morning when I get up. I expect the same courtesy, especially
since my room is on the other side of the kitchen wall and is right by the front stairs.
- And then there's the heat. Just the fact that she gets all the heat in her room since its right next to the
heater makes me really bitter. She complains that it gets too hot in her room, so is that supposed to justify
turning off the heater when my room is the coldest out of the three? Fuck no! One day when I was complaining
that it was really cold and I asked her if it was still really cold outside (it was midafternoon) she said
that she didn't think it was cold and she had the gall to add "we're NOT turning on the heater." WTF! I never
said anything about turning it on. Who just went and made her furnace regulator? erg! And when she
does deem it fit to turn on the heat after I've already gone to sleep with my door closed, she doesn't
even have the courtesy to open my door! I woke up one frigid morning and opened my door to a balmy 75 degree hallway.
- Let's get back to the phone. The phone is always...I repeat...ALWAYS for her. I am forever taking
messages for her cuz she's never home to answer it. Actually, she's always on the phone when she's home too.
As if I don't have anyone to talk to? Fuck! I once was talking to Grant for our weekly conversation and it was
extending into the 2 hour mark and I swear that some of her friends were so fucking rude. One girl called like
3 times. The 2nd time she asked when Anna would be able to call me back and I said roughly 30 minutes. TWENTY-SEVEN
minutes later she has the audacity to tell me that its been over 30 minutes and she HAS to talk to Anna. Like WTF?!
Does my conversation mean nothing? Does the world all of a sudden revolve around this bitch and Anna? Turns out the
girl just wanted to talk about school and an upcoming test. HELLO!!!! Fucking bitch. I should've told her off
but by that point I was just pissed off with all the call waiting interruptions. SEVEN calls in one hour!!!!
- And let me point out that my little dry erase board on the fridge is basically Anna's message board. >.<
- Then there's the whole issue of her being a slob. I admit it...I am a slob. My mom has called me a slob all
my life and she claims I take after my real dad, but dude, you do NOT understand how much cleaner I am than this
person that I live with. It takes her FOUR weeks to clean the kitchen floor. FOUR. Me and Tammy had done it
like 2 or 3 other times and it was finally her turn. She whines and complains when she cleans the bathroom and
this was no different. She finally said that she would only clean the floor after we got a broom. Umm..yeah.
I suggested getting a dustpan and brush so it would be easier to pick up (we had the swiffer thing up till then)
but she insisted on a broom. She even offered to pay for it, but HELLO! Sure a broom keeps you from physically
kneeling on the floor, but how the hell are you supposed to pick up all the crap in the end? You have to bend
down either way! Frick. Then when we also got a mop, do you know what cleaner she used to mop the floor? COMET.
Who the fuck uses comet on the floor?! She apparently only scrubbed the floor with the mop and cleaner and left
it. It had a chalky residue for at least 2 weeks! And do you know how long it took her to start washing dishes? I
don't even think she knew how to start the dishwasher!
- I'd like to add that Anna cooks some of the nastiest shit sometimes too. Her fried rice? uck. And she has
the nerve to criticize mine because of the spam? fuck off bitch!
- And another thing that totally pissed me off and made me flip my lid was when Tammy told me once that Anna
was bitching about ME! About how I didn't seem to be buying anything for the apartment so I should buy the VCR,
about how it was supposed to be Anna and Tammy and THEN me (they've known each other since grade school..but
not BEST friends). Tammy told her that I had bought a bunch of stuff for the kitchen, even though I don't think
I did, and that supposedly shut her up. Just to prove her wrong I paid for our kitchen chairs and even the hub when
I didn't even have a fucking computer! erg. Now that we're getting sofas from Tammy's friend Anna has said that she'll
buy the VCR (yeah...I'd like to see that). She really hasn't bought anything for this apt. She just brought stuff
from home to share. No money ever left her hands. erg.
- I won't get into the fact that her family has real problems. They call ALL the time. Moreso than normal. And Anna?
She has no respect for her parents. She is always philisophically arguing with them when she doesn't agree
with them. And then she hangs up. heh
- Should I mention that half the food bill is hers? She eats like a fucking pig! Thank GOD we decided to split
the food bill accordingly early on.
- And lastly, or well..last for now...the computer. Even when it comes to the fucking computer there's something
that always has to irk. The cable modem is in HER room. HER room since its closer to the cable, since she was
the one to stay for the cable guy...becase of this I needed to buy the hub, I needed to spend more to get a cable
that could reach all the way across the hall, and what did she have to do? Abso-fucking-lutely nothing! She didn't
even say anything about splitting the costs the hub and everything until at least a month after I had bought it.
She wouldn't even be accomodating to move the hub and/or cable modem to the side of her room closest to us since
that plug was controlled by the light switch and she didn't want to "accidentally" turn it off. You know it was
just so she could keep using it as her light switch. Fucking selfish. And that was before she offered to split
the costs. So we were supposed to accomodate her and pay more for it? I think not bitch! ARGH!
<!-- End Anna Rant -->
*regaining composure and adjusting shirt*
She really isn't that bad though. Hrmm...to get her a xmas gift or not? Would it look bad giving Tammy one
and not her? I guess we'll have to wait and see eh?
Ok...off to brainstorm more about Christmas. Ahh...I can almost hear the carols now. Oh wait..its playing on
my computer now. heehee oops.
<3 always,
