When my appetite is suppressed like this I sometimes forget to take into account that the discomfort in my stomach and mild fatigue/dizziness I experience is more than likely caused by a lack of sustenance. ...It's not even that I can't force myself to eat easily, I just don't think to eat as much as I should. This is just a random observation, I'm not concerned. I always stay hydrated and the suppression ceases before any damage is done.

When I'm about to get online I always think of how many things I could be doing on it... LJ, Facebook, several webcomics, research random things on wiki & other sites, practice writing, free games, youtube, etc etc. There are infinite sources of knowledge and/or entertainment on this thing. BUT fairly often, I find that after an hour or two online or after checking the most basic of my favorite sites I am bored and am suddenly uninterested in my other options. AIM seems to be the reason I stay on it so long. AIM... and cycles of checking Facebook & sometimes 4chan.

Adriane unearthed two Furbys over a month ago. The "baby" one always manages to get bumped and woken up. It's like a normal Furby, but its voice is more whiny and obnoxious. AND IT TAKES FAR TOO LONG TO GET IT TO FALL ASLEEP. Someone stuffed it in a sleeping bag in the den and I've managed to trip over it 3 or 4 times since last night. I want to stuff it in a crate and it can be taken care of by top men. TOP MEN.

Mikya is playing one of the newer additions of DDR. I remember when I was 12 this sort of dance/techno/poppy stuff was all I thought there was too electronica. Being locked in a small pitch black room with this sort of music playing forever would probably be my personal hell. Oh! And the floor of said room would have to be impossible to sit comfortably on. ...Anyway, I'm very glad my preteen ideas about electronic music were wrong.

I hope I can get the ball rolling soon. I have stuff to do today. I guess the first thing is to make some calls & finish that last application...

I'm going to try to get myself on a good mood streak. So far so good. I got some things done today. I didn't accomplish everything I listed yesterday, but I did other stuff to compensate. I got a lift to the east side to fill my prescription at Rite Aid. I walked from there to OC, dropping off the resumes off & picking up job applications where I could. The walk to OC was long enough that I felt like I got a decent amount of exercise. OC is a ghost town since the quarter is over. I poked around that joint until my Mom picked me up. While they ran to Cash & Carry I went into the bowling alley and picked up an application for employment. Apparently, they are accepting them, but the clerk didn't know for what positions. I think it'd be a pretty neat place to work considering all the different activities they have & all the characters that haunt it. I'll run the application back over there earlyish tomorrow. I returned back to my Mom and Bill's and hopped online. Sounds like Adriane had a busy day... Anyway, about 15 minutes ago I got a call from a Safeway in Seattle (...I don't actually know which one, as I've applied to about 8 locations.) I am to call the hiring manager there back in one week (or maybe it was 2 weeks? ...She said the Monday after the holiday. I will call both times to be safe) and I will schedule an appointment for an interview that will take place the next day.

Tomorrow my plans are sort of up in the air. I'd really really like to catch the ferry to Seattle and then bus down to Tacoma to visit Adriane. I'll have to talk to her about that later. ...But before I do that I'm going to run a couple job applications back to their correlating businesses... and it seems like I had another errand to run, but I can't remember. I also have the option to hangout with friends in town if Tacoma doesn't work out or we reschedule it. Regardless, I feel like I have enough time to see family, friends from out of town (or in town,) and of course Adriane plenty during the next couple weeks. It's cool that people are back in town for the holidays, I really should see some of those friends.

I've really been enjoying these mellow jams by bands like The Clash lately.

ENOUGH.

if you ever want to see your holiday libation again, you'll call the provided number and await further instructions.
and don't even think about calling the cops.

I've been house sitting this mansion in Sequim since the 2nd. It's really nice but I miss my janky apartment. I never thought I'd say it but... I miss Port Angeles! It's crazy but it's true.

I made all my Christmas gifts this year except Nolan's. I've been crocheting non stop since September and even 4 days until Christmas there is no end in sight.

I talked to Richard for the first time since August yesterday. I thought it would be a "writing you out of the will" type of call but he was surprisingly pleasant. Jobs, cars, weather, the usual. He didn't mention my step mom which didn't surprise me. After the 6 page front and back letter I wrote her I don't think there's much else to say.

I am looking forward to Christmas this year. For the first time since I was... 4 I'd say. I'm making prime rib and twice baked potatoes. (My vegan diet starts after the first.) My doctor is pushing me hard to start a strict vegan diet and I told him I'd do it 6 months ago. Well, so much for that.

Starting work at the lavender farm after the first of the year and also possibly Nash's farms. All the fresh organic fruits and vegetables I want.. Yes please!

Good things to come I think. I feel good juju in the air.

With New Year's just around the corner, I've come up with two resolutions for myself.
The first is that I will quit smoking. My last cigarette that I will smoke until I rid myself of my addiction will be a moment after midnight, New Year's Day. I say a moment after, because I have more important things to do at stroke of midnight. If I quit smoking I will feel generally more healthy, have better stamina, and of course... more money.
My second resolution is that I will try very hard to be positive and optimistic. Today, after some stress a good friend pointed out to me, that I am often pessimistic and make excuses for being so. So, as my resolution, I am going to try very hard to correct that. I will only be negative when the situation truly truly calls for it. Otherwise, I am only wasting time and possibly hurting others, as I did today and have done so in the past.

On another, somewhat related note. I've decided to try out for a position at the Shipyard when they have their next opening. I'm told that they are accepting applicants for their "helper" program at their opening on January 22nd. I will be there dressed to impress with my resume and test scores. The shipyard has always been something I tried to avoid in the past, but in the past month or longer I've realized that there are more important things than the ideas and pride I held from 16 to 19. The shipyard is not a life-sentence so much as it could be a stepping stone to get where I want to be. ...And more importantly at the moment, it will be work and it will get me out from under either of my parents, which has been driving my mad. Oh, the glory of living on my own will be unmatched, even taking into account the new responsibilities and challenges.



This other section is really more "notes to self" for tomorrow, so just ignore it if you want. I have things I want to get done and it always helps me to write things down.
-Call doctor so he'll write up my Rx. Pick up Rx at pharmacy.
-Call various pawnshops so I can get rid of that box of undesirable DVDs and games in my room. Run to the pawnshop (that takes DVDs,) and earn some extra holiday cash.
-Pick up that special gift I've been working for (and am rather excited about.)
-Bundle up and distribute resumes & applications all along Kitsap Way. I'll need a job, any job will suffice for now. ...Which is what I've been saying all along, even though I was avoiding drive-thru fast food.

WE DID IT FOR THE LOLZ!

normal conversation, feel the good vibrations.

a headache last night decided to destroy me. lying in bed it felt like my brain was in a vice.
