The Realm of the Rarely Witty

I've been kind of in a grumpy mood lately, when it comes down to work. I don't even know, though I think it's something to do with being short staffed lately, or improper staffing because someone decides to switch shifts without realizing what happens to the other people. Oh, and people not showing up.

Yesterday was my Grandpa's birthday, so we went to visit with him. We met up with him and the hospital and went to visit his friend who is currently there, and very nice. I kind of fell asleep because they started talking about people I don't know, and thus got confused. I like to sleep when I'm confused.

Anyways, after that, we ran a few errands, went for coffee, bought some shoes, and had a nice conversation with the shoe ladies, and then went for supper.

Then we went for bingo for the night. My Gpa really likes bingo, and goes quite regularly. He wins often too, but apparently not tonight, but he had fun anyways. Ah, right, I won 3 times. I never win anything, so when I won, I was sitting there shaking, and having a mini freakout. I was also very, very confused. Especially when I won (along with one other person), on the game with the biggest payout for the night. Ah, I'm still confused...

Ah, also, last night I started watching some of a movie, which I really need to rewatch, because I didn't get to see the beginning, and I didn't get to see the ending, but it was quite giggle worthy. A horror movie, yes, but then again, horror movies either make me laugh or make me sleepy. Ah, but then again, it was a comedy horror movie. It was called Black Sheep, and partially why I watched it was because it was on our sci-fi/fantasy/horror channel, under their Thursday movie, which is themed "When Animals Attack". Ah, I love it. Seriously though, mutant zombie sheep. :)

Camping is fun. Well, somewhat I suppose, depending on who you are. Sadly though, my idea of hiking was completely gone due to rain, and bugs. I like bugs and all, but when they keep aiming for my face, it kind of ruins it. Either way, I spent my weekend playing cribbage (I win quite often, but the cards were not in my favour this weekend) and Sorry! (I didn't win once, but I suppose it's alright, I just wasn't winning things this weekend), and drawing. I did two drawings this weekend. Sadly though, the medium in which they were coloured/shaded in with are not my fortay at all (more of an argument that I need to go get myself some art chalk one of these days), and thus the one I will be possibly drawing again (or a different picture of him) and the other, another version is in the works. A front view, and not with pastel for colouring this time. I really do fail with pastel.

( What I drew over my weekend )

My entire reaction to this weeks Doctor Who was, "She was in Jekyll! Woot!" That being said, it was quite the episode, and I look forward to next weekend.

I believe I may listen to flumpool as I sleep tonight, because I ♥ flumpool, and it was what I really wanted to listen to on the weekend, alas, I listened to Pichan while I slept rather than Kenta, because I worry about hitting Kenta in my sleep, or Kenta getting wet.

Thursday was my Grandma's birthday, which I was more than happy to miss. It seems odd I suppose, but I really can't stand going over there, plus when I did finally get there to pretty well get my family, they kept trying to talk me into eating cake... With pudding in the centre... I'm really not a cake eater, especially if there is any kind of filling, such as a jam, or pudding. There is also the fact I absolutly do not like icing unless I have made it myself (I've had bad reactions to icing in the past, and too much sugar is not my thing at all, and to be honest, if I have cake with nothing on the inside by means of filling, I will gladly scrape the icing off). Usually I eat most things given to me, but this, just no. The sight of cake is enough for me to walk away sometimes, the same with pie, and many other desserts.

Going through pages of fic to read those you've been reading takes a while it seems... I'm not looking forward to when I go away in June. Also, random question, should I book the 17th off? To give myself a day back home, and to generally have a very lame reason for it? >.>;

Everytime I listen to Panic! At The Disco lately, I get an image of Stocking!Jun in my head... It's about as bad as looking at Miga and thinking of Nino (because really, they look similar).

On one more note, I need to go through simple_robot one of these days, which is a project in itself. *sigh*

California by Wave is a good song, ne?

So, here at home, we are on a strict diet of chicken, turkey, vegetables, and white fish. I think it's good I adore all of them somewhat. Fruit is not safe around me at all. I think I eat to much of it, but it gives energy and is delicious, so who am I to complain. My top fruits are...

Strawberry, carambola, raspberry, blueberry, saskatoon, blackberry, mango, orange, apple, asian pear, pear, melon, ect... Now that I think of it, there really isn't a fruit I don't like that I can think of. Peppers are fruits too, are they not? Quite delicious really. Instead of candy, fruit is better is it not? Oh! Pineapples are mood-ish. Sometimes I just cannot eat them for some reason, and I find they taste better dried. Yay fruit! Yay seafood! I kind of want egg nog now.

I think I need to be more social. The only problem is, that seems like so much work, and it's not something I enjoy. *sigh* I like talking to people, but I just can't at the same time. I should just become a hermit. Might be a good choice for me, but I love the internets. I know I can live without it, as there are so many other things to do, and I do live without it often (it doesn't seem like it, but when I go away, I don't even think about it), but there are some things I cannot do because of the computer now. I can watch interesting things on tv, but as soon as it becomes uninteresting, I decide sleeping is much more interesting. Mind, a fair bit of tv is quite boring. Interesting how I started talking about being more social here and changed the topic in a few swift movements.

I feel I have nothing much to smile of as of late. I don't know, I can smile on command, and do when I'm being polite to customers most of the time (sometimes I just cannot smile though). I don't know. Also, my silent laugh is now slightly morphing into a bit of a cackle or sorts. It's become more evident as to why I'm laughing, instead of a vision of gasping and eventually convulsing on the floor like usual. I really can't breathe when I'm laughing like that.

My mom is wanting to save up money for Sept/Oct 2010. Turns out there is a thing in Ireland at that time she would really like to go to. It's a graveyard/ancestry thing, as she is trying to trace our family history. She's doing quite well I must say. I end up going to cemetaries with her for researching purposes. We take pictures of family headstones and check dates through that stuff. It's entertaining really. I like cemetaries. I like cemetaries quite a lot. So relaxing they are. Anyways, on Friday we did one such thing in Oak Lake, and we were looking for one headstone, and for what ever reason, we just couldn't find it. We walked around the whole thing before finding it. The real lame thing is, you could see it plain as day from where we parked the vehicle, and the lettering was really big too. Feel kind of silly because of that.

Co-workers, please don't call me at one in the morning because you are stupid, thank you.

What the hell is Twitter?

So, had a family dinner thing over the weekend, so I was in Virden all weekend. Actually, it was my grandpa's 80th birthday dinner and tea. I'll start from Friday I suppose.

( Some parts interesting, some parts boring. )

I wish I has more money, mind most would be spent on clothes it seems.

( How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria? )

My fingers hurt from typing and such. I think I might go watch Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog now, and the leaving words from the Maria's.
