So. I got at up 6, in order to leave at 6:50, because I thought my final was at 8am. Turns out it was at 8:30, and I could have slept an extra hour.

I had coffee for the first time in five days (boycotted with the sickness) so I had a bit of a shakiness after the final. Granted, I was still sick, which sucked especially since I ran low on Kleenexes during the test. But I needed the coffee.

On the plus side, did not go into work. Emily and I went to Kim's Market. I got frozen mandu (만두), plum(자두) and melon(메론) candy, chopsticks for the girls and some instant jajangmyeon (자장면). The 자장면 was amazingly good. Will have to get more some time.

Oh, and my toes nearly froze off when i waited fifteen minutes for the stupid bus to come. But other than that, I'm doing okay even though it feels weird to be home during the day when it's a weekday.

In bullet-point because I'm bored.

• 1pm--Ate Thansgiving Lunch. Gorged muchly.

Also we had started to watch 'A Moment to Remember' in Koran class on Wed so I will have to finish that. And I could say more about my uncle making me uncomfortable...but I won't right now. Just stare at the last 20-odd hours.

So. I bought this clear-drawer storage thing, with three drawers. Filled the bottom with my collection of coffee mugs as per my mother's request (and really, for the good of the house).

As of right now I have 14 mugs to my knowledge. Two of them are at my dad's though. Maybe I should start naming them after Super Junior and stuff, lol. I'll list them and where I got them, just for fun.

( Snip-Snip )
Now, I've been borrowing some other travel mugs to use, (Purple go-go-go [we have like 2/3 of them] and some Bank ones), but I don't think they've been decreed as Mine. Not yet, anyway, I kind of like the go-go-go one.

And yes, I do know I have problem. I just really like mugs.

So I downloaded Veoh. Not just because I could watch my favorite veoh vid Step by Step Crack!Parody but also so I could watch the Summer Dream vid and Sexy Naughty Joongie. I love the JaeSu moments best, I have to say.

Go on and click'em. You know you want to.

Also two people called in sick so I'm jacking the one who's not a supervisor's shift. Really, it's the only one I can, considering I'm...not a super. Yay... closing. Aish. But, whatever. I won't have to leave for two hours at earliest. And actually, I had three days off in the next Monday-Sunday week, which is...rare, so even though counting from Thursday, I'm working 5 days in a row [manager tries to avoid scheduling people more than 4 days without a day off between], I think getting to sleep in a few times thing isn't so bad.

And it's not even working on weekends. I've been doing that too. Typically my sked has been something like:

MT-TF-S leading into MTW-FSS leading into something similar, with the whole 'no more than four days in a row' policy in effect.

So yeah, Weekend+Monday? Not so new. Pretty old/standard. Always always working Mondays. And lately it's been an hour earlier because of this whole laid-off union people meeting. They sorta start straggling in at 10am, are all there by 10:30, and are all gone by 11:30. They get coffee. Soda. Sometimes ice cream. But mostly coffee.

But today is not a Monday morning, it's a Saturday night. Whatever. I like Maila and the new girl Olivia, so, no worries. Plus I an ask if they got slammed last night, because I was scheduled to close with her and two trainees... one of which had a broken arm. She sent me home early, and so I was gone by ten to 8. It's very possibly to get attacked in an hour, in fact the last time I closed a group of people hit us around 5min to close. Which...sucked. So, here's to hoping I don';t feel bad for leaving early.

But I've made coffee and I have my music. And synced my iPod. So I should be fine, other than getting back around 10:30pm. If I hit the buses right.

I had SuJu's "U" stuck in my head all day at work. Whose fault is that? I don't want to say mine. I may have to download that though. That and HOT!Haengbok. Because that one's cracky love.

Worked on WAN? a couple of days ago. Chapter is rough. But I wrote, and that's what's important right? It's not like I don't understand the frustration of waiting for the next chapter (if anyone's still reading it -_-;;) But...so much randomness got involved RL-wise not to mention writing myself into a wall. But like I said, with the break I got in work, I manged to find the time amidst non-schooling little sisters and visitors to write. It's rough and course, and needs a shitload of polishing but it's there on the page. I just need to sit down and polish it. Right now, I'm content to do a few more icons (DBSK, SuJu??) and post. Technically I have a few I'm using already and I've certainly done small posts, but I dunno. I want to get more done. I shall make a tentative agreement to post icons by Wednesday.

In other news, in celebration of my birthday (T-minus 3-hours 50 minutes and counting~~) I present and icon with 6 variations. Random, yet appropriate.


( I'm in power, for the hour )

YAY. So I'm no longer an emotional basket case. Finally. And I now know what to look forward to in a month, so I should make sure I have plenty of amusing things for myself so that if I do cry, it's out of laughter. That's far more acceptable, even if I am acutely aware of things not being that funny normally.

Also, I have encouragement to buy the five-DVD set All About DBSK Season 2 from my stepdad. To be honest he said "buy the discs" after I told him how I wasn't sure if I should "buy the DVDs or the cool loft bed from IKEA". I still count it as a win, even though I really do want that bed, too.

Thirdly, my dad was talking about buying me and espresso machine for X-Mas. OMGWTF, Dad? Encouraging me to become highly caffeinated?

On my end, I'm trying to think about what to get people. Especially those whose birthdays follow New Year's (aka my dad, mom & brother in that order). Mine is actually ten days before my Dad's (11 before Mom&Bro), but I was thinking that a $50 DVD set was enough for both X-Mas and birthday? Though if you count, the 6th is technically the "Twelfth Day of Christmas". Guess it'll depend on my mood.

And I know, it's not even Thanksgiving yet but if you had to work on the biggest shopping weekend of the year, like I do (damn you, Black Friday!!), then you'd be spazzing about presents too. I mean, come on, would you really want to shop before or after an 8-hour shift? HELL, NO!

It's not that I don't like sales, I'm pretty stingy when I want to be, but all the PEOPLE. O_<;; You can't BREATHE or HEAR. And I happen to like both of those things. Far more than getting "OMG the best deal evarrrrr".

You'll prolly hear more about my plight of working death next week if I can drag myself online. There will most likely be bitching about PEOPLE nad DESERTING COWORKERS (ie the reason for my freaking long shifts that weekend). The only upside to that whole thing is that I'm gonna get PAID. That's gonna be an awesome paycheck. Assuming I don't get killed in the line of duty. XD.

So. I finally did it. Broke down and got myself a paid account. Because I'm worth it.

I also agreed to sing in church because I wasn't working that day and because the director was begging. I hate her with a passion, and I haven't gone to church out of, well, wanting to in years, but she was begging. So I threw her a bone.

Thinking of doing a random post of icons. Also...a voice post. Now that I've figured out how to do it and added the number and all that jazz. Not that the posts I'm thinking of will be actually talking. More like 'Izzi Singing a Random Song' posts. ^_~.

And I want to dye my hair again. Getting faded. Thinking of tying it into Halloween. Somehow. We'll see.

I've slept a lot. And have had lots of caffeine and sugar. I'm so glad I bought that caramel-vanilla creamer. Even tho I don't usually use creamer. I'm just on a sugar-kick. Huzzah!

So. My day was interesting. Had to wake up my brother and ply him with ice cream in order to get him to take me to work. Got to work and for the second day in a row had "Nowhere Man" stuck in my head. The ENTIRE TIME.

Got picked up. And that's where everything got really special.

They went to church and I, being the heathen that I am, was going to stay home. But not before getting something to eat. I knew I should have left after they did.

It's important for you to know that I have no key to the house. I never have. My brother does, but it's attached to his car keys. Anyway they were to leave the door unlocked. I went out, got my stuff, and came back. Door Locked. All doors locked.

Borrowed some guy's phone and left a voice message. Called my mom asking for stepmom's number. Didn't get it. Spent a half hour moping on the grass and looking up at the blue sky. Then I got an idea with the sudden and random movie quote flinging itself through my brain.

I am Jack's smirking revenge.

Oh yes. I went down, bought a 4$ cold coffee drink and then went to Wal-Mart and bought a replacement coffeepot and a tracphone.

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

Halfway back my brother shows up (apparently some mix-up concerning services) and drove me back home where there were apologies about and promises of me getting my own key. Also, having just read a smutty DF fic I feel better.

Seriously going to beg my dad to let me sleep on the floor at his house. I can't stand these brief stints of internet-age. NOT. COOL. Plus, I can only talk to people on AIM because the library and Dunn bros hate Y!M. D:

That and the demon-spawn--I mean, my little half-sisters >> have reminded me of the other reason I don't like being at my mom's.

Baby brother graduated yesterday night (I was so proud) and I woke up at 3 and saw him come back from the All-Night Party at 5. We chatted and then took me here to Dunn Bros and I bought him tea, because he doesn't like coffee. But you know I still love him XD.

I work 5-Close. It's a good thing, really. Haven't closed in so long tho. And I know I'm going to be working with Mr. Anal-Retentive, so that's kinda going to suck. He just goes into these super-speed modes, and it totally hinders him more than it helps him (not that he realizes this) and it makes my heart-rate go up, which is not cool.

Meh. There are worse things.

Well, I managed to not be a complete and total spaz about the RPG bit. At least comparing it to that business with "HA" a year ago. Short-lived tho it may have been. I was really tired when I sent out that app... I don't knwo why I instinctively thing of it as "12 Months AGO" instead of "12 Months BACK". Possibly because of the "Six Months Ago" episode.


Anyway. Have made more "Company Man" Icons. Probably enough to post, so i expect I'll be doing that shortly.

And I'm doing that weird-ass thing where I'm talking all properly for the most part. Ooookay. I swear I only had two shots of espresso.. 1 at 4pm and the other at 6... What? They would have gone to waste and they were perfectly good shots.

Right. Going to go upload those icons now.
