For once I'd like to not be the strong one.

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night toss and turn and dream of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

How did I hurt me? Let me count the ways...

So I had grand fun at the lake/grad party this weekend. A little too much fun. So I am going to whine and list all the places I'm hurt. Yes, this week, poking will find a sore spot. So no touchy, no die.

Bruised:
1) My forehead. Climbing back in the boat can suck sometimes.
2) Left bicep. About the size of a dollar coin.
3) Left inner arm. Size of a dime.
4) My chest. This is made worse by the fact that my pecs are sore, too.
5) My stomach is currently a network of bruises.
6) Right hip is black and blue from a bad landing.
7) My bum, for the same reason as 6.
8) Both shins. I look like I was attacked by someone who wears my kind of shoes.

Sore:
1) Neck.
2) Shoulders.
3) Arms.
4) Pecs.
5) Entire back.
6) Ass.
7) Hamstrings.
8) Quads.
9) Hip flexors.
10) Abs.
11) Left ankle.

I can't walk very well, get out of the car very well, or put on clothes very well. The moral of the story? Tubing is fun!!!

::Edit 8:34 PM::
Total mood swing. Thank you, Damily.

A word to Fam. I have a feeling I am going to get VERY sick of the phrase "the neighbors can hear you" as a replacement for what used to be YOU admitting you were annoyed at whatever supposedly loud noise I was making. As I type this, your daughter is using a pair of high heels to make loud drumming noises on the floor. How ironic.

And every time you yell at me because I didn't do something the way you wanted it, I flash back to all the things my mom used to say to me and am left feeling like utter trash. So don't tell me I'm being ridiculous. You just don't get what's REALLY wrong.

::final edit::
I'm feeling a bit less sad, slightly bored, and very perverse (not perverted. stop.) right now, so here's some context for what I typed above.

"Wipe off the stove. You made a huge mess."


...Does she mean THIS?


"And wipe down the cabinets. This kitchen is so filthy."

I feel cheap now, but man, that was fun.

6.24.2004

Run. Now.

For I have found the knife I want. Flavino Ikoma, I love you. And this is why.



MMM. Hande-made, sub-zero quenched, and, best of all, perfectly balanced at the first finger groove. Oh, and did I mention the velvet-lined sheath?

::cue diabolical smiling::

6.23.2004

The beast within

Well, I have to call in in 20 minutes to see if Mini-MOD needs me. He always says no, but still. Hell may freeze over at 11:55.

Last night I stayed up far too long working on an evil plot, but the good news is that it's almost over. One of you should soon start feeling very afraid, for I am almost ready to retaliate. BWAHAHA.

HMM. Well, back to work on it, methinks. MMM, naked pronoun.

Well...

I really wish I didn't have to go to work today. 1-6 is kind of a crappy shift. And, well, the day outside looks like suck.

To-Do List:
1) e-mail Ikasu and make sure I'm regged
2) plane tickets
3) finish computer/HP crap so it can get fixed.
4) fill out all the forms from college
5) Have fam look them over and fork over some money
6) call Saturn and schedule maintenence and repair
7) rent movie and watch with Biker after work
8) clean room

Time to go wash/tame my hair. I'm sick of glorious bedhead.

Weekend Update

Well, before I had off into the internetless void and sail for the rest of the weekend, allow me to give an update on my computer.

It is not the AC adapter like I was hoping. It's the port itself. So now I have to send the poor thing off to HP to get the whole damn motherboard replaced...and this is NOT covered under my warranty, sooo...there goes some money. But the good news is I told Unc all this and how much it'd be and he was like "oh, ok. Send it off Monday." And that will be that. I don't know what life will be like when I have to fix what I break out of my own pocket. I'll have to cut down on the evil plots and general destructive mayhem in my life.

Nah.

But now I have to go without it for...oh, I'm guessing at least two weeks. But it's mine! My own! My precioussss....

I need. To stop. DOING THAT.

Note To Self

Remember that long hair tangles. Cuz you seem to have forgotten, and get shocked every time it happens.

The reason why the maid's license plate is NME

...she told Fed-Ex the wrong address, and delayed the delivery of the part that will once again allow me to use my laptop...by two days. There will be death.

6.16.2004

What the hell am I doing? I have to be totally insane.

6.15.2004

Eureka!!

My teenage years are Karmic retribution for all the ants I hammered while sitting on my grandma's sidewalk when I was five.

Why I'm never caffeine free

The tea is brewing in the kitchen. Until I get some of that past my lips I will be stuck in pissy bitch mode. So, since I'm typing this while I wait, you all get to read a bit of my ranting. Sorry in advance. Sort of.

There are three people in this world that I don't feel bad about hating with every fiber of my being. One of the is the fucking maid, who struck again today. I hate her for several reasons: First of all, she doesn't like me. Every time I open my mouth I can see her off by the mop water, rolling her eyes and muttering about me under her weezy, nightmarish breath. She tries to get me to stop talking when Fam and I are fighting. Some day I am going to look at her and lose it and say something along the lines of "look, you fat bitch, you're paid to clean my toilet, not give advice on how to deal with teenagers. You're quite possibly more inept than my aunt." Only I doubt it will be so kind.

I'm sorry; I don't give a damn what kind of hard life you had. Mine's been no piece of cake, but you don't see me holding it over everyone, going "look how I suffered! I sacrificed my education to keep my younger siblings alive, and now I clean floors and kiss rich ass for a living." Next time someone tries to explain away your ignorant behavior by telling me your sob story I'm going to punch them and go "well, don't pay attention to that; I was abused." I mean really. GAH!

I also hate the circumstances that arise when she's around:
1) She cleans my room. NO ONE GOES IN MY ROOM. NO ONE BUT ME CLEANS MY ROOM. You'd think my family would like the fact that I am a person who is actually capable of cleaning up after herself, but NO. We get into a fight literally every week about whether or not her fat ass should be let in to mop my floor. She has broken too many things in my room already. And she never sweeps under the bed. I'd rather keep my remaining decor intact, but no. "The. Floor. Must. Be. Swept. Open. The. Door." -The Mgmt

2) To clean my room, she wakes me up at 8 AM. Just barges in and starts cleaning. And every time this happens I throw her out so I can fucking get DRESSED. And next week...there she is again! She doesn't get it.

3) I have to listen to her breathing. Sometimes, when she pauses, I dream that she's had a heart attack.

Now that I think about it, I don't actually HATE the following people. One is evil, the other is annoying.

The second person is a girl who earned my dislike. And I used to feel bad about it...but she's hurt too many of my friends now for me to have any scrap of guilt. Personality-wise she's fine, but she has no morals whatsoever. And so her actions end up hurting people I care about...and BAM.

The third person is the most annoying customer at my store. He's this short, balding, fat guy in glasses who's loud and tries to talk to you about movies. I'm sorry; I know NOTHING about movies. So that makes it a little difficult for us to converse. He mostly leaves me alone, now, but he bugs my co-workers and stays in the store holding up the line until I've developed an eye twitch. He's one of those people who tries to hard to be a movie critic. He spews all those cliche words around when discussing plot, knows every director, etc...but you can tell he doesn't really get it (as much as you can get Hollywood...I can't think of a better way to say this; he focuses on movies because he has no life. I think I need to put the lot of you in a room with him and see how long it takes for one of you to slice his throat to shut him up. I'll bet on ten minutes.

Also, I still have no laptop. Or DSL. And my lovely plan to go to sleep early? Failed. I slept LESS than usual because I kept freaking being woken up by things.

OOOH, wait! The DSL just came! I'mma go sugar the tea and get it set up.

[/juvenility]

::EDIT::
I wonder why it never occured to either me or Amber to check and see if we had a fucking ethernet adapter on the big comp?

::goes off to see if anything can be done::

::EDIT 8PM::
I have decided. This day is DETERMINED to suck.

6.13.2004

Push me, and then just hurt me

till I can get my satisfaction.

::EDIT MIDNIGHT::
The thing that drives me crazy about the apartment? Outside in the courtyard, there is this fantastic water fountain. WHY AM I NOT ALLOWED IN IT??

I'm not looking forward to the store meeting tomorrow. The SM is going to royally chew us out. I can just feel it. In me bones. But I AM gonna get a few more books of the Island manga, so...

Hmm. I wonder if my comic book shop stocks Exploitation Now. That would be handy.


__________________________________________________

::EDIT 12:30 AM::


This is Pan. Pan is the serial killing psycho machine from Island, the manga I mentioned above. He protects Won Miho--for a price. If you click Pan's pic you can learn alllll about him (and by him I mean the manga itself). Island is a Korean manga that kicks serious ass...but they could have chosen a better picture of Miho to go in the character profile page.

THINGS PAN HAS GOING FOR HIM:
1) He's asian.
2) He has a sexy knife. With blood grooves.
3) He knows how to use it.
4) Great smile...if a bit psycho.
5) Is secretly a good guy.
6) HAIR!! OMG, HAIR, WAI WAI WAI!! XD

6.12.2004

o.O

I can't put eyeliner on today. It just...won't...work.

::edit:: more fun with the family...
Fam: (after asking me to clean the kitchen) I'm gonna set this in here, too, so go ahead and wash it with all the other things, ok?
Me: *deadpan* No. I refuse to wash anything I have not personally dirtied.
Fam: *pissy* Oh, poop! You know it? I wash your dishes all the time.
Me: ...
Me: I was joking.
Fam: Oh, I didnt know that.

Stuck in my head

I've had nothing but bad luck
Since the day I saw the cat at my door
So I came into you sweet lady
Answering your mystical call
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future,the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
And I knew it was a spell she cast

She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind

Give me the ring on your finger
Let me see the lines on your hand
I can see me a tall dark stranger
Giving you what you hadn't planned
I drank the potion she offered me
I found myself on the floor
Then I looked in those big green eyes
And I wondered what I'd come there for

She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind

Stay away, look out!

If you're out on a moonlit night
Be careful of them neighbourhood strays
Of a lady with long black hair
Tryin' to win you with her feminine ways
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future,the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
You'd better get out of there fast

She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you...

Tired rich whiny bitch

See, secretly I KNOW that I was not just woken up by our fat bitch of a maid at 10AM. She didn't just waltz into my room at that ungodly hour of the morning and go "Get up so I can clean." NO ONE WAKES ME UP. EVER. EVEREVERVERVER. Especially not people I hate who breathe funny and have the nerve to butt in on family issues. We pay you to wax the floor, bitch. Take your bad advice and fuck off. No I don't want to eat lunch with you. Now stop vaccuming, it's making my ears bleed.

And she just fucking moved the Sex Rug. Threw it. Aw hell no. *goes to grab katana*

6.08.2004

yes...

I just had an absolutey fantastic pear. ::goes to clean self off and get new shirt and stuff:: Oh, and I forgot to grab more contacts, so I'm stuck in glasses for a while.

::leaves for work:: When I get home,
c a f f e i n a t i o n n a t i o n
begins. You will be assimilated.

::EDIT AFTER WORK::
I got hit on by a big group of lesbians today. They're all regular cutomers of mine, and I think they're a lot of fun, but they were in some kind of mood/on something tonight. I say hi when they come in, and one of them winks and goes "Hey baby". Eh, figured they were joking.

Then, when they came up to check out, one of them had a late fee. "I'll split it with you," I say. "Yes, split it with me," she says, and grins. Then her girlfriend looks me dead in the eye and says "What else will you split with us?"

I blushed a lot.

*rolls eyes at everyone in a non-annoyed way*

I'm receiving a bit too much drama this week, Life, so I'm kindly requesting that you stop the fucking transfer and check my account balance. I'm being over-funded. Take some back.

6.07.2004

Gah. Some evil plots are not cheap. Today I'm going to have to break down and drop $30 to bring my new one to realization. For those of you who wonder just how many evil plots I have, let it be known that there are currently only two. This one I am whining about now does not count because I am only the henchman. Woman. But even as a lowly hench[person], I know that I CANNOT have a mic that sounds like crap.


::EDIT:: My mic no longer sounds like crap. hehe.

Also, in 24 hours I am going to be the proud owner of caffeinationnation.com. Fear. Now. Seriously.

::FINAL EDIT::
I wonder if she really meant to do this (quoting fun, er...five?):
Biker: bed!
Biker: bye
Wren: bite!
Biker: !
Wren: nite!
Wren: I meant nite!!
Wren: really!
Biker: lol hahahahaha
Biker: bi

This made my night:

BDM: you just made me feel so much better.

Good.

New template because the old one didn't work in a lot of people's browsers. I'll customize later.

::EDIT::
Okay, here's the deal. When I said a lot of people, I meant me, cuz I switched from IE to Firefox yesterday in a vain attempt to keep the Ubermachine happy.

I know it's a lot of black right now. I'm screwing with the template so's I can get more color in. But this was the darkest thing I could find that didn't have all these damn annoying dots all over the place...

It should be back up by tonight. WHEE!

::FINAL EDIT:: This, dahlings, is today's evil plot. Enjoy.

ALSO: My IME isn't working right on the forum, so I'm going to test it here:

ニつも びょうき です。

Yep, works fine here. What the hell.
