azuriteOW. My back. Is. Killing. Me.
Maybe all that bowling last night wasn't such a good idea. Don't get me wrong, I had a blast-- it totally made up for my miserable after-prom party. I was the reason why I didn't have fun at that, but I still wish it could have been like last night was-- fun. Yesh, so after I met Joe at EB, I waited around a bit for him to get his break, and we rushed through In-N-Out. By the time we got back, Mark was already closing, so I just snacked on fries near the counter while Joe and Mark closed up.
Turns out Joe was waiting for his friend Lita to pick them up, and Joe, along with Marc (note the 'c'), Christal, Mikey, and, as we found out later, Jimbo and Cheuk to go bowling. So we dropped Mark off at his house and then headed out to Daly City to Marc's house. o_O And the freaky thing, SWORDFISH was on. This is freaky only because the last time it was on TV, it was at my grandparent's house, at the SAME POINT as before. And my cousin had told me it was near the beginning of the movie, but it wasn't... and then the next time I looked at the TV, it was OVER! Same thing happened at Mark's.
Anyway, so we hung around a bit, had some sodas, watched some weird .hack//GIFT omake, and watched Jimbo and Cheuk duke it out as samurais or ninjas or... I didn't catch the game title. I want to say Onimusha, but that might not be right. Then we decided to go to Serra bowl with the hopes of doing the glow-in-the-dark raver bowl or whatever it was... and I was all for it, since it'd been a while since I went bowling, and plus I wanted to have fun. ^_^ I've had nothing to be PMSy over the past few days, so why not?
And bowl we did! >_> It was a bit pricey, so I had to make an additional withdrawal, but so far, I'm still good on money, and I hope to be able to do this testing thing for video games in Burlingame, so that'll be an additional $50. I actually had some good karma or luck that night (though technically it lasted into early this morning). I was bowling pretty well even in the first game, for someone like me that hadn't been bowling in a while. We played 2 and a half games, and I placed 3rd in the 1st one for our team (Joe, Lita, myself, Cheuk, and Jimbo). Believe it or not, Mikey and Mark's mom is an AMAZINGLY GREAT bowler! She made it look like she hadn't bowled in a while, or was throwing the ball accidentally, but whatever technique she used, she OWNZED even the guys! Ray, Mikey, and Mark were the ones with the consistent high scores, though. But hey, I managed to get a few strikes and spares! In the final game, my score was something in the 80s. Not that great, but still pretty cool!
After that, we all went our separate ways in the 2 cars-- Joe, Lita, Jimbo, and myself in Joe's car. We stopped by Krispy Kreme so I could snag a raspberry filled donut (which turned my tongue all red, yay!) and then we all headed back to the city. Turns out they were doing some filming or prep for Bay-to-Breakers (not sure which) by the ocean, so they closed off Great Highway, and we got lost in Golden Gate Park. ^^; We found our way out to 19th Avenue and Lincoln, which is just off Park Presidio where *I* live, so I got dropped off first. :P
I wasn't tired, so I stayed up...
(1) Working on a supposed-to-be oneshot for S/A again... It's called "It's in the Stars."
(2) IMing people. Jimbo said![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vhg needs help for her hotel room, and the more money I save by shacking up with other people that want to pay even a FRACTION of the cost, all the better!
(3) RPing! I still don't get what's going on with Atem (Isis/Svelte says something about an illusion, but seriously, Atem's RPer could PUT something in there to imply that!) and it still has me freaked out.
(4) scanning! I grabbed my Duelist of the Roses manual and will make a layout for my upcoming "The Rose Chronicles" fanfiction. You know what's sad? I went to a nominated BEA website last night and noticed they had a fic section... and someone submitted a fic there that followed the DoR plot-- but it was a self-insert! *shudder* AND AN OBVIOUS, UNASHAMED ONE AT THAT! *wails*
Only things that bug me, even in the slightest:
(a) CANNOT FIND MY PEACH GIRL 18 COVER! WHERE IS IT!?!?? I know I scanned it for the peachgirlmomo group I moderate, but now I can't find it! I might have tried to flatten it under a phone book, but I couldn't find it near/in any of them... and it's not anywhere in my manga stash in my room! ;_; AAAAHHH!
(b) I'm still a jealous biatch, but hey, on the bright side, I'm getting better at hiding it. Sort of.
(c) My belt buckle likes to get jammed a lot.
Things that cheer me up in spite of the above:
(1) Cool people miss me at work. Aaron called me today and was asking me what had happened; I explained that I got fired, yadda yadda, and he told me I should totally fight back! I was surprised that people seemed to CARE so much, but Aaron said he really liked how my presence livened up the place. Yeah, he woke me up from sleeping, but he made me feel so much better! So I might go back to the old Theatre of Doom tomorrow to drop off my uniform, and with some luck, talk to one of the higher-ups. If worse comes to worse, I could just call the 800 number and report them for abuse of power and wrongful termination. Though I doubt the last one, since every application nowadays says that the employer "bears the right to terminate the employee at any time, with or without prior notice or reason."
(2)sekiria21 gave me advice on how to get past the 23rd or so cloister in Via Infinitio (which I just realized means "The Infinite Way"). I'm going to look for a switch to get past the evil Elder Drake lord of doom...
...You know what's really freaky? If I ever got SO desperate for cash, I know there's one thing I could do easily and probably not think about much the next day.
Egg donation. o_O They pay $5,500 for that, and not only are you helping some poor woman have her dreams come true so you can get a kid, but you're making a shitload of money for doing nothing but having healthy eggs!! o_O WOW. Yeah I know, the freaky flip side is that, if it works, there will be a person with half your genes running around, not even knowing you exist, but... well... *shrugs* I don't know, that doesn't seem like a big deal to me. Do I sound desperate? I don't really want to do that [now], and I don't even think I can until I'm 21. >_> We'll seeeeee...
Ow~~ the Ibuprofen doesn't seem to be doing much. I've slept something close to 12 hours today (went to bed around 5:40am) and I *know* that's not healthy. Well, I guess I'll play FFX-2 (*cough* FINAL FANTASY *TEN* *TWO*) now... I'm still harboring some half hope that I can somehow get into the Den of Woe.
I had a weird dream about Mom telling me she had MS. o_O Why would my mom have Multiple Sclerosis? (sp!!)
Layouts, fics... yadda yadda. Later. Sitting in front of the comp makes me HURT.

Date: 2004-05-17 06:07 pm (UTC)Quoi?? I did not know one could donate eggs for that much - since I won't be having any kids in the near future, I might as well look around and see if there are any clinics. Bad thing is, if my dumb-ass of a brother reproduces and by some sick game fate plays - the kid I indirectly produced and the kid he produced get together under holy matrimony - *GAH*. @_@
I'm looking for a new job...I've done so many things that could've gotten me fired from my job but because my Store Manager and I are on good terms, she usually saves my ass...^^;; (Probably because I drove her ass home drunk one night. XD) The pay is just not adequate for my collegiate needs.
Good luck chickita. ^_^;; May us financially troubled femmes find a solution fast.
Bizarre interloping
Date: 2004-05-18 07:56 am (UTC)Again, we just need to all get together and formulate a serious plan. No more gliding out of rooms! SIT DOWN AND TALK! :DDD
As for teh new jobish, I actually heard back from the UCSF study today-- and I'm eligible! Now I just wait for the study head to call me and whee~
Of course, the money won't come in for another month to 6 weeks, which SUX, but oh vell.
