anam cara

Between seeing Paul yesterday afternoon and then watching a marathon of Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files on SyFy right before bed, I had some effed up dreams/nightmares last night. The kind where you wake up with a jolt and a bit of a yell at 3am and you can't go back to sleep because every time you close your eyes you feel like something's there. I swear I felt something touch my shoulder. And in case you didn't know, I've been fascinated and SCARED TO DEATH of aliens and abductions since I was a kid. While I don't think they'd really bother with most of the crap people claim they do, the thought of it all being real is enough to terrify me. The TNG episode where some of the crew gets abducted, sliced up, and put back together stills bothers me. YOU'RE ALREADY IN SPACE AND YOU'RE STILL GETTING ABDUCTED?! I have to turn the volume down whenever I hear that clicking noise. *shudder*

( So about that movie, Paul... (spoilers within) )

Where was I going with this? Ummm... I laughed out loud quite a few times and was quite entertained. I look forward to adding this to my DVD collection when it comes out. Might even go see it in the theater again. I love their sense of humor and even though I felt like poop again as soon as the movie was over, for a couple hours I had a wonderful time :D

But I'm still feeling icky. Thankfully, I have new Community tonight and we have Dogma from Netflix. I still have a few other things I really need to do, but maybe I can squeeze them in tomorrow. I'm just not feeling the motivation today. It figures that the one night I actually go to sleep early because I'm so tired, I end up having nightmares about being abducted and barely get any sleep :/

Before work tomorrow, I get to call about a doctor appointment and jury duty. FUN. And I keep having moments of HOLYSHITIMNOTGOINGTOHAVEAJOBORMONEYINLESSTHANTWOWEEKS anxiety and panic. ALSO FUN. Things are strained. Both at home and at work. I was screaming at my mom last night and sobbing. After having already broken down in the bathroom at work. I'd hate to experience a full blown nervous breakdown.

I had to stay an extra 1 1/2 hours at work today. Should've been happy about OT, but when you're already in a fragile frame of mind and you have things planned out and you're ready to leave at a certain time... Plus, my Co 'asked' if I could stay (about 5 minutes before I was to leave) even though nobody else could come in to cover, so really I HAD to stay and she was being... I'm not sure what word I'm looking for here. But she was being very THAT and I might have thrown a little bitch fit and was on the verge of tears. I know it's that time of the month, but that's not normal. Even for me. I don't necessarily mind being crazy, I just don't like not being in control of my emotions/actions. Oh, to be a Vulcan... It's just very tiring being slightly unstable. Unhinged. Where once I was simply not looking forward to work, now I DREAD it. I start to feel physically ill at the thought of having to spend time there especially with certain people.

At least this made me smile (from https://www.bbcsurvey.co.uk/):




Oh, and !!!!!!!!!!

The Good:

* I think I did all right on my Sociology midterm.

* The new series of The Mighty Boosh starts airing November 15th!

* I bought tickets for my friend and me to see Jeff Dunham in San Jose.

* I've been watching my Spaced DVDs all week.

* My friend came over on Friday and spent the night. We went shopping downtown, ate at a really good restaurant, and I found a hat that I fell in love with and will buy as soon as I can.

* I realized that my new DVD player can play AVI files (found out by accident when I put in what I thought was a burned DVD of SG1 but turned out to contain the Red Dwarf episode 'Blue' and it still played). Now I just have to put Doctor Who and Torchwood on a CD and I'm good.

* I love this song.


The Bad:

* I'm not feeling so well and I really need to make a doctor's appointment :(

* Spaced is being Americanized (Life on Mars and now Spaced?! What is this world coming to? Hopefully it'll end much like the Americanized version of Red Dwarf.)


The Meh:

* Heroes. I still love the characters and I know it takes a while to build up, but right now the episodes are leaving me kind of meh. However, the Canadian preview for next week has me interested [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4KnItLI6vg]

* The latest episode of Stargate Atlantis. This week looks better though.

* Halloween. I've been very busy lately and not feeling well. I'm just not in the spirit of things and this makes me even more sad because it's one of my favorite times of the year.

I now own Hot Fuzz \m/

I went to the mall yesterday with my friend and got Hot Fuzz for me and 300 for my brother. Unfortunately, the day wasn't all happy. I went with my mom to visit my grandma. She's in the hospital for PT because she sprained her ankle. She was having a bad day and kept saying the gas was on and called her daughter her sister. It was really hard for my mom to see her like that. Thankfully, she seems to be doing better today though. She's eating more, walking to the bathroom by herself, and she sounds better.

I dyed my hair red and it looks nice with my natural dark brown color. I've never dyed my hair before, so I had my mom do it for me. She's pleased with how even she got it ^_^

The Simpsons Movie was awesome and really funny. I <3 Homer.

The other day, I got an email from one of my previous archaeology teachers saying that she needs help with one of her classes and is looking for a 'reader.' I email her back saying that if she's still looking, I'd love to do it. She emails me back:

"I AM still looking, and you are "it" - only person still in school (hence eligible for readership) to have taken the class and got an A. I will be back 9/20, and perhaps we can talk early in the week that school begins. An email to me once you are back in town will remind me."

Even if I don't get paid that much and it might only be for a quarter, I'm kind of honored to be singled out (and every little bit of money helps). Plus, it'll look good and I'll get to work with an archaeologist (even if it's just for grading papers). It feels weird actually doing something other than just going to class. I feel like I might actually become an adult some day. I still feel weird about turning 22 in two months.

What else? Drake & Josh this Friday!! I'm going to order pizza and watch Drake & Josh, Doctor Who, and Psych. I love Friday TV.

Also, two weeks until I move in to my apartment with Lexis; and that weekend I'm leaving for a road trip with my dad, sister, and step-mom in an RV. We're going down the coast of California. Should be interesting. Maybe I'll get some reading done along the way. We're out from the 12th to the 18th of August. And my brother's birthday is on the 21st. Weee!

today, i watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze which i bought at Walmart the other day. Splinter calling the Turtles idiots and saying "Oi" when he hears about them on the news made my day ^_^ i don't think i've ever seen the third one, though.

tomorrow, my friend is coming over so we can order pizza and watch Lord of the Rings.

but really, the point of this post is to direct your attention to ihasacornetto, specifically this post (especially the last three) XD

although, beware of spoilers for Hot Fuzz if, for some reason, you still haven't seen the movie.
