Negative Nancys

Oh woe is the negative nancy. I repeat. I need healthier friends! And not to replace my unhealthy friends mind you! Just in addition to.

I think my life would be different idk. or i mean.. it would just be helpful I think.

Heroine Addict

Catching some Buffy: The Vampire Slayer episodes on Chiller! Buffy is an all time fave, along with Xena: Warrior Princess! Dark Angel is ok too. I was wondering if I should add True Blood to the list.. but Idk. Not that Sookie isn't a strong person but she's more of a 'stumble into trouble' main character as opposed to the others.. who are more 'grab trouble by the balls' main characters.

At the same time the series would be completely different if she weren't a female main character. But I suppose the theme 'heroine', in this case, applies more to seriously warrior women.

My feet hurt! I really need new shoes for work. I think I would have a better experience there if I did. The ones I wear now are comfortable initially and look good with the rest of my work outfit but I'm going to get tired of this store fast if I don't find some other ones.

Tomorrow I don't have work, plus today we got hot water and electricity, so I'm gonna console myself by catching the new episode of true blood and whatever else electricity and hot water let me do!

Hurricane Irene pt.3

So things are mostly fine here after the hurricane. There are some fallen branches, debris, and tilted trees around but nothing serious. I was told the front and back [of the house] had been flooded (i.e. street, backyard). My house is also mysteriously overrun with gnats.. (annoying). We haven't had electricity since we got back from New Jersey and we wouldn't have any until Friday or later if we hadn't bought a generator today. 

I had my second official day at work today and I have concluded that I need new shoes to wear there.. I am also embarrassingly bad at math (i.e. change) and doing 'returns' at the cash register >.> But other than that I think everything is fine.

Hurrican Irene pt.2

I have internet, electricity and my laptop and can do alot of the things I do at home.. but I still feel oddly restrictled. We ate dinner here. Just waiting  for new developments concerning the storm..

Well, we're chillin.. kinda tired of the news.

Hurricane Irene

Somewhat sudden trip to my sister's house in New Jersey when they called for a mandatory evacuation of my neighborhood. We were planning to stick around at home until we got the call telling us to leave. Oh well.. it's all been kind of interesting. Made sure to tape up windows and strap down furniture before we left.

I brought some bath stuff, clothes, mp3 player, laptop, cell, charges for all those things, stuffed bunny, wallet, with money, debit card and check book, some books to read, and have been playing with my niece. We might not have power here later.

Good Luck Cathy!!! :3

My friend left for college today @ SUNY Oswego! We hadn't been hanging out that much but she's still a very good friend and I will miss her while she's gone. It's a tad annoying that when she comes back for thanksgiving and Christmas I STILL WILL NOT BE IN SCHOOL! But you know what? I'll definitely be in a different mindset because I'll probably know where I'll be going and getting ready to leavee.. or at least know where I'm not going..
Hm. Think I'll go listen to the bravery!
SPRING SEMESTER COME QUICKLLYY!!!

I GOT A JOB AT Pier One Imports! It hasn't sunk in yet that I HAVE A JOB!!! *takes notes* remember to bring calculator from home and fill out emergency contacts sheet. Also, I'm starting next week Monday, Tuesday and Thursday but.. I should call soon and see if I have work Monday (on account of the hurricane). I also went to Kohls today. I now know what non shitty jeans are like! (Thank you Vera Wang) and got some good stuff I think, two interesting tops.. and a cool pair of a pajama pants. Definitely am going back.

EARTHQUAKE!

There was an earthquake today! Based in Virginia apparently and it reached here in NY. The house shook and my fish got sloshed around in the tank. Very interesting! I thought that maybe it was heavy duty construction.

$100 Balloon Fiasco Karma?

So I went to a birthday party recently. For a second cousin's one year old. And at the party they had this 'game' sort of where you pop balloons and there are different amounts of money in them and one or two of them had a $100. I was really desperate for that $100 since I've been saving all else for school even though there are so many things I'd like to buy. Another $100 would of just been so helpful.

Anyway, In the end I thought I had found the balloon with the $100 in it and I guarded it quite a bit. I had one tip off that it might be in a red balloon and I also peaked through the balloon in the sun and I just kept seeing '1' and '0's when it was rolling around, blown by the wind.

It turned out to be a $10.. something which I was very afraid of! T_T but I was so optomistic about it. Coulda sworn there were two zeros!

Oh well

Toe Pain

My toes hurt when I bend them back a certain ways. I'm thinking it's just because of some shoes I was walking around in that were not comfy but for some reason I think this has happened before on it's own. It reminds me something of arthritis.. which scares me.. Only time will tell though and I really hope it gets better. I'm too young to have such inflexibility and aches! Ugh.

Oh Nepenthe

So I started a new tumblr account. I wanted to make one that wasn't connected to all that SVA business and one where I actually talked to the people who 'followed' me and vice versa. I have before on my old account but idk.. everyone there is going to SVA so it's a little depressing to be connected to them now. Plus not all of them I care about very much and quite evident some are not that interested in me. Which is fine, I'm just saying, I'd like to start fresh =3

My new tumblr is more standard fare. It has reblogs of some pretty pictures which my old one didn't have before. You could say it's 'less me' since I wanted to avoid always reblogging ( my old one had slightly more 'individual' content) but. I'm lazy and I just want it to be neater looking (not neat as in cool). I'm sure I'll tweak it so it's not too much like some reblog gallery tumblr; starting with adding some content from my old blog and I'll still add conversation snippets and informational things and such. I'll consider adding stuff from here (life runofff) too.

Yeah, so it's called "Oh Nepenthe" as of now (I think I'll stick with the name for awhile).

Nepenthe meaning..

"Nepenthe - , is a medicine for sorrow, literally, an anti-depressant - a "drug of forgetfulness" mentioned in ancient Greek literature and Greek mythology, depicted as originating in Egypt."

"1. a drug mentioned in the Odyssey as a remedy for grief; hence 2. something that induces forgetfulness of sorrow or eases pain."

I figure it's suitable because that is what I do with my blogs. I rant, express myself, try to put motivational things, post music, and images that affect me somehow.. and try to organize my life and make me feel better in general. It's cool so.. feel free to visit.

JOB PROGRESS (Pier 1 Imports) Pt.3

So apparently they called yesterday and somehow I missed it because a lady turned up on the answering machine, from Pier 1, when my mom checked it this morning.. Damn.. good thing my mom actually chose today to fiddle with the answering machine (we never use the new one). That sucks though because if I had picked up the call yesterday I could have gone shopping with a friend today! I turned her down because I thought I'd have to sit and wait for this call. Hmph.

Oh well, at least I got the job! (a 'job offer', he said). I don't think it pays particularly well but there is trans there, almost round the clock, and it's cheap. Also.. beggars can't be choosers and etc.

When I called back they said the lady I needed to speak to wouldn't be in until 2pm. They took my cellphone number so I think they will call me, if not, of course I'll call back.

Hmm.. hope this all goes well!

JOB PROGRESS (Pier One) Pt.2

So I went to my interview on Friday and it turned out to be a group one which was something I was actually hoping for all along..weird coincidence. I think it went pretty well and that I stood out amongst the people that were there. There were four of us, me being the only girl which was surprising because they're target demographic is women.
Anyway, like I said, I thought it went pretty well and the store manager, Jason, I think, said we'd know by Tuesday if we're hired. If we got a call then 'yay' and if not then 'no hard feelings'. Which is fine by me but.. I really hope I get a call! The only downside is that the pay is pretty eh I think. But hey, beggars can't be choosers..

Music; First Impressions

You don't like it because you're expecting/looking for something you've already heard before.

Acquired!

Wonderfully generous boyfriend who I don't say enough nice things about on my blog. We went to Looney Tunes CDs yesterday. Can't wait to collect more great ass stuff.

Goodbye RXP

The only radio station I really liked and that played local and alternative is now off the air! They turned it into 24 hour news.*Sigh What is the world coming to?

YAY Today someone called me to make an appointment for a job interview @ Pier One Imports! (home furnishings/ decorating store) I'm happy. I hope I don't fuck it up! And it's actually somewhere pretty to work..

Clothing for Fall?

Tried on some jeans I had and went through my clothes in preparation for fall. I freaking hate all of it lol! Idk. I have to build a new wardrobe A.S.A.P = ( I have no freaking idea what I'm gonna do!

Placenta Cocktails

If I ever do deign to subject myself to the terror, and horror, and oppression, and subjugation... of birth/pregnancy... I plan to eat my own placenta... or maybe I will get a hold of someone else's before then!

Dr. Me?

Hmm I had a bit of an idea breeze through when I was looking up information about calcium and women's health. I've thought about being a doctor or something medical before but not quite in the same way. It reminded me of my friend Cathy and how she was interested in some sort of health studies as well.. and I feel similar to how she does I think. I figure there's also a lot of different types of jobs in the medical field and many new and interesting topics to explore pertaining to health.

I think the feeling is starting to pass.. but I may have opened the door to something..

Facebook

Thanks facebook for letting me know.. exactly when things went wrong. Eight hours ago my boyfriend wasn't mad at me. Ten hours ago  I wasn't [as] mad at my mother. Twelve hours ago I was much more optimistic about how everything was going to turn out today... and a few hours before that I was in the midst of a nightmare.

Greener Grass

If only I could put myself up for adoption! I just love the thought of all the possibilites, even the bad ones, of where I could end up. Then again maybe it's good I didn't grow up as freakishly privileged as I would have liked.. because this way I sort of know more about what I 'want'?

Feeling weird right now.. wonder if it's just caffeine or maybe I need to sleep but it hasn't quite hit me yet.. that that's what I should do.

What You Know Is Not Everything

"The problem is that this is not a time of testing, so you don't know how well your ideas will stand up to future crisis. You only know how well they withstood past tests. But the future is always different, and what happens in the future depends upon what is true at that time. Therefore you must keep your mind open and flexible. You only know what you know, and that is not everything. Continue to examine yourself and see what could be improved. Even if your life is satisfactory now, it may not always be." -astro.com

I took this from a horoscope of mine because I think it's the kind of idea I express a lot! It's interesting to see someone else do it.

Say No To Pot [Brownies]

My boyfriend, apparently, still occasionally has pot brownies.

Ugh.. I don't care if it's 'not smoking' it's still a freaking turn off. Blegh.

Finishing up the movie 'Role Models' on FX Movies. I like it quite a bit. I don't enjoy all of these types of comedies.

Spring 2012 SUNY Apps Are In!

So I decided that I'm actually pretty into the idea of going to UBuffalo. I actually have two places now that I'd be slightly more than willing to go to out of my SUNY list. Down side is that I found out each school costs $50 to apply to.. not one fee for multiple colleges like the CUNY app. -__- So if I applied to UPlattsburgh, UAlbany, UBuffalo, and Oneonta it's freaking $200. Therefore I migh just take Oneonta off the list.

Ugh I have to write an essay.. x.x

Frenchy pt. 2

Great, my brother's dog got super sick a day or two after I was charged with watching him. Mom makes it sound like everyone thinks its my fault; really hope not. I watched and followed that dog around like a hawke.. always stalking it.
