This week, on My Brown-Haired Life...

So if anyone was interested, I'm still sitting at my parents' being useless. Out of all the jobs I applied for, no one wants me. I have never watched so much television in my life. My parents, on any given evening, have 3 programs that they keep up with, and another 2 or 3 that they record and we watch some afternoon when nothing's on. I find myself eagerly flipping through the TV guide when it arrives in the mail to see if I can find any hints on what's happening this week, and I really care i

Barbie the delinquent

Well this is a pointless entry really, where you can all shake your heads and call me weird. I was watching tv the other day and discovered that Ken dolls are getting hard to find because Barbie has a new boyfriend. Apparently he's an Australian boogie boarder named Blaine. Here's some pictures: http://www.manbehindthedoll.com/BLAcaliguy.htm I almost ruptured something laughing about it, but for some reason no one else thinks it's so funny. :wacko: I just had the thought that Barbie dumped nic

another day

Well there's nothing terribly interesting going on here, but I had to feed my egotistical need to post. I'm still waiting for someone to call me about a job. I had an interview Saturday but the lady seemed terribly concerned that I was too stupid to figure out the cash register, after I told her I'd never had a retail job before. I wasn't very impressed with her either, after I found out that she hadn't even looked at my application before I came in. I don't think I'll be too disappointed if she

a little update

Well, this was my second full day with the parents, and it's not too bad so far. My only real complaint is that I'm really tired, because they aren't nocturnal and I'm being forced to completely reverse my sleep schedule. I got something like 12 job applications today that I'm turning in in the morning, and hopefully one of them will pan out. I've got an 'in' at a few of the places, beacuse my mom knows practically everyone in town. One of the very few advantages to being from such a small town.

just wasting time

So, I am now in possession of the rental car. Chevy Cobalt. And it has a CD player. Whoo hoo! I'm not too fussy about cars, as long as they can make it up hills (essential in WV) and the brakes work, so I'm happy. I'm wondering if I got ripped off though, because the original estimate for the weekend was about $62, and I ended up paying $110 because my insurance is liability only, and they made me buy their collision insurance. The guy insisted that I had no choice, but I don't know. But...being

going away

I'm feeling particularly murderous at the moment. Had to go to the grocery store in the middle of the day, right when all the kids were getting out of high school. (The store is between the school and the city bus stop, so I guess it's a good excuse to make your kids do the shopping for you.) This group of like 50 of them got into the store just ahead of me, and they were everywhere! They just wandered around, being in the way and standing in front of my cereal. Grrr. And of course I got in line

weaze the juice

I'm not too proud to admit that I was up until 4 am watching Encino Man. Ah, mindless entertainment. At one point I asked, "Ok, what was the point of that scene?" and my bf just gave me this incredulous look and said, "Did you really just say that?" It made me feel really old watching it, because everyone looked so young. At least Sean Astin sorta went on to better things.   We have a new addition to the household, a tiny little orange kitten. He usually stays shut up in my upstairs roommate'

why did the roommate cross the road

So one of my roommates got hit by a car today. Not really, more like tapped by a car, but still. He was in a crosswalk at a stoplight and this lady just forgot to stop. He came around to her window to yell at her, and I guess she was afraid he was going to beat her up or something (this is the totally a**hole roommate I've mentioned, so I can't say I blame her) so she just took off. He's okay, he walked home and everything, but he was in an even worse mood than usual.

I'm losing it...

I was walking to the bank this afternoon and saw a little storefront I hadn't noticed before. I stopped in the middle of the sidewalk and just stared at it in shock, because the windows said "Foreign GLBT Cult, Free Membership." My boyfriend was laughing his ass off at me and I couldn't figure out why, until I realized it was a video store. What can I say, I didn't get any sleep last night.

I feel fizzy and funny and fine

I realized how long it's been since I've written anything here when I noticed my blog was on the second page. I don't think anything terribly interesting has happened to me in a while. My family has been having birthdays all around: I had two nephews turn 13 and 10 (I think) and my brother turned 38, all in the space of a week. The fact that the one nephew is 13 blew my mind. I feel so old! I remember that I saw him in the hospital the day he was born, and I changed his diapers and everything. N

viv's game

I know, I know, this is two entries in one day, but I'm bored and I thought I'd see if anyone would answer this.1. Who are you? 2. Are we friends? 3. When and how did we meet? 4. Do you have a crush on me?5. Would you kiss me? 6. Give me a nickname and explain why you picked it. 7. Describe me in one word. 8. What was your first impression? 9. Do you still think that way about me now? 10. What reminds you of me? 11. If you could give me anything what would it be? 12. How well do you know me? 13.

I hate football

I hate football season, because this city seems to lose its collective mind. There's a Pitt/Notre Dame game tonight; my roommates are going and I'm under orders to watch it on TV (more on that in a second.) There are all these commercials on TV about how "college football is family." Er, right. I can't stand football, because I can never follow what's going on. I see the ball go up in the air, a bunch of people run around like mad, and end up in a pile. I'm going "who has the ball, who has the

why am I the last one to know everything?

So this is a story about how my family never tells me important things. My brother and sister both live in South Carolina, about a half hour from each other. Yesterday my sister gets a call from my brother saying to call the police (why he didn't call them himself, I don't know) because there's someone under his house. The police show up, and my brother is running around with a butcher knife and freaking out. The cops look, don't see anybody, and are about to leave when my brother insists that

curse the sun

Well, I'm hungover today, but I'm pretty sure I had fun last night. My bf and I got invited to this party, and honest to god, I wanted to be dorky and go to the museum today, so I said we were only gonna stay for an hour or so. Yeah, well. I think we got home around 6 am. That great dispenser of wisdom, the guy who made the previously mentioned Ninja Turtles remark, was there, but unfortunately I can't remember anything he said. I need to start taking along a tape recorder. I do know that a

roommate-icide

I've been trying really hard not to complain about this, but I think I can either get it out of my system here or commit murder. Two of my roommates are absolutely great. They try to keep the noise down, they share food and stuff with us, they ask if we need anything, etc. The third, the one we share a bathroom with, is the world's biggest jackass. He's already given me several lectures for stupid little things (mostly him being a clean freak) but tonight he freaked out and started screaming at

no clever title here

So you'll all be glad to know that I actually don't have much to complain about today. My bf and I had an argument this morning (big surprise there) but something productive actually came of it, for once. See, he has a college degree, but he works as a cook. This is a long story, but basically he couldn't find anything in the area in his field, and I was still in college, and so we couldn't move. He had a go at graduate school, hated it, and quit, which really confused me because he's a very sma

Beer and Ninja Turtles

So it's 5:30 in the morning, I lost count of how many beers I had, and I'm feeling less long-winded than usual, but I wanted to write about two things just so I don't forget them. Apparently blue hair says to people, hey, I'm really outgoing, come talk to me about stupid crap. I was leaving my building at around midnight or so, and this 40-ish guy comes around the corner and gets a look at me and says, "Ooh, are you punk?" I gave him a weird look and mumbled something, and he started rambling on

I'm so blue...no, really

That's right, I've dyed my hair blue. Bright, that-color-isn't-actually-found-anywhere-on-planet-Earth, blue. And oh god do I regret it. Not because my hair is blue, that actually looks pretty cool, but because now everything else is blue as well. My face, my neck, my shoulders, the walls of the shower. I scrubbed my face until it was red and painful. Still blue. I scrubbed the shower until I thought the paint was gonna come away. Still blue. At the moment my boyfriend is in there with some of t

danger, danger...rant ahead

So, long story short (ok, not really) I went out tonight at around midnight with my boyfriend, because I hadn't been out all day, (damn 90 degree heat) and ended up getting into an argument in the middle of the sidewalk. As some of you (probably mostly anyone who's bothering to read this) know, we fight constantly, over just about everything, and tonight's was really stupid. Basically, he did something to piss me off, I called him on it, and then he yelled at me for a half hour or so about how h

I'm back!

Okay, since everyone else on the planet seems to have a blog now, I figured I'd write in mine. I FINALLY have the internet again, after 2 weeks without. *whew* I'm still trying to get used to my new roommates. Two guys, a girl, and a 3-month-old. Joy of joys. I can't have my pets here, because the girl is allergic to the rabbit, so I've got a friend keeping them. It's pretty funny-he has two cats, and I was afraid they'd bother the bunny, but they're scared to death of him. It sucks not having t
