re: survivor 19 finale

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 04:08:29 GMT

I wonder if anyone watches survivor on my friendslist hahaha This was one of the weirdest finales, because I didn't care for any of the final 3. Brett was adorable with his WE GO ON A BRODATE WHAT DO WE DO question. he was so red hahaha. what got me steamed was russel asking natalie FOR the title of sole survivor. You lost. Move on and get over it. What a loser. I was actually kind of impressed with him through the finale, and how he held himself, showing himself as a strong player, not a strong ally. But once Natalie won, I could just tell he was steamed. I can't believe he acted that way also lol gold digger wedding? I'm not good at telling ages but she looked to be in her thirties hahaha whatever makes ya happy man

wring in the new year

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 00:13:23 GMT

I always feel bad when I say to someone OH MY GOD GIVE ME THAT or something because I most always mean it jokingly b-but sometimes they take it seriously and ahhh I FEEL SO UNCOMFORTABLE WHEN THEY'RE LIKE "UH... HERE" and I'm like n-no I didn't... ooh presents.

Its only for tiny things like a nickel but WHATEVER

HEY

I WENT SHOPPING

All I have left to do now is needlefelt for one person and comic for two people. Then I'm done!

I'm lost on what to get my older brother and my dad. I might go back to the LEGO store in the mall and get him something from there... (He got me a train whistle last year I CAN GET HIM DEGRADING THINGS TOO)

I hate shopping for others because I always immediately want to show them ahhh

I got two things that were $45 today for $25 I love the holidayssss

oh yeah my plant officially died so I got a new one on Friday. Her name is Julia.

Coworker: Please keep the children's bookshelves especially neat today, alright?
Me: ok
Coworker: Because when I worked with (other coworker in my grade) last, he and I straightened them out. But he said something like it was useless, since they'd be messy next time.
Coworker: I want to prove him wrong.

+10 badass points to Coworker.

I have 3 bosses - Boss, Other Boss, and Big Boss. Boss is awesome and she's really nice and sarcastic. I help her with computer problems and do a lot of her dirty work. She's adament about me not going to college next year because I'm her best worker LOL orz (but she's just kidding). Other Boss is the Children's librarian and I don't really talk to her, but she's really nice and quiet. She and Boss are good friends but they get in one big blowout every year. Big Boss is the boss of the entire library. I act very fake to her, I think. Not on purpose, but because she's... my Big Boss. I'm always really nice and smile a lot to her. Boss hates her with a firey passion because she is kind of a dickface.

Coworkers... I have 4. There's Coworker, Coworker in my grade, Junior Coworker, and Other Coworker. Coworker is kind of... jittery and always keeps insanely busy. She's nice but very impersonal. I used to dislike her, but now I just tolerate her. Coworker in my grade is a pain in the ass and never does anything right and shelves things lazily. Boss caught him messily putting books in the Non-Fiction section (albiet an annoying section) away wrong - utterly wrong - and asked him about it. He tried to swipe the blame off himself by saying maybe the person who was in the computer system after him did it. I'm the only person who works after him. Boss and I were none too pleased!! Junior Coworker is a junior, and she's really nice. I don't ever work with her or see her too much, but she's apparently well-liked by all three bosses. She was a scientist for halloween and she was so adorable. Other Coworker just got back from sick leave; I saw her with a cane :( She had head issues from a successfully removed (!) brain tumor years ago. She's forgetful and gets overwhelmed easily and has to leave work sometimes, but she's really sweet and can be a real spitfire. She used to be a Line Chef, so she bakes things for us a lot.

Quick note for the new adds: I don't care if you don't comment so long as you don't mind if I don't that often. I'm a shy commenter, and I don't always have much to say. I feel that if I do force myself to say something sometimes, it comes off, well, forced. I don't like that, so... P-Please don't take offense ;3;

Meme because there are new people!! And... I feel like it.
You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

Please copy the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out.

FIRST NAME: Maddy. I'd prefer to be called it, actually ;3; Because "madii" is a fake name.

AGE: 17, 18 in late February.

LOCATION: Massachusetts, USA. I live in a small, bleached-white town. Most people haven't heard of it.

OCCUPATION: I work at my town's library. I'm paid by the town <3 It's nice. I'm also a student - senior in high school.

PARTNER: None. Currently too busy thinking.

KIDS: No! I'm terrible with kids! I always have horror stories from work (main customers are people getting picture books), because I'm so terrible at communicating with them.

BROTHERS/SISTERS: I have one older brother. He's a sophomore in college this year. He's jocky - plays golf and baseball. He goes out partying and drinking a lot. We're not exceptionally close, but we tolerate each other. We're complete opposites, I think/

PETS: One puppy, a chihuahua named Olive who hates me. She's cute, but she's overprotective of my mom and bites if you try to get near her when she's with her. She's a little brat.

3-5 THINGS GOING ON IN MY LIFE:
1) Working.
2) Drawing comics about Antebellum authors
3) NaNoWriMo, and writing stories in general (I have 5, but 1 doesn't count and 1 I haven't touched in awhile and 1 I had to look up to remember what it was OTL). I have 6 drafts done for one story (Spiral), and I'm working on finishing my first for another (Ross story, has no title as of yet, and is my NaNoWriMo story).
4) College apps /sob

PARENTS: I'm really close to my mom. We watch TV together and like hanging out. She takes me shopping for clothes, because I don't like buying things. /stingy She's sarcastic sometimes and doesn't like everything I do, but she doesn't stop me, either, and I don't think she really cares as much as she acts. She makes terrible comments that'll get her killed one day, though LOL

I'm not close to my dad. We don't have the best relationship, and he just realized it, like... this year LOL. He's trying to make amends quickly before college, but he won't come out and say it. He's stubborn and tries to be funny. He likes to say things like, "Come on, Maddy, that was kind of funny," even when my mom didn't laugh (My mom laughs easily). In short we have whiny "I HATE MY PARENTS SOB" times.

CLOSE FRIENDS: I'm picky! Really picky! But I like a lot of people. I just have trouble staying close to people or being able to hang out with a lot of people. My closest RL friends are Caitie, Danielle, and Annie. They're all awesome :D I have too many online friends to think of, so I'll leave it there.

What is with this plant?? Now I'm finding tiny holes in the leaves... I thought they were from bugs, at first, but a) I don't think there are many bugs in my basement and b) they're teeny tiny. WHAT'S WITH YOU, PLANT?!

re: hetalia episode 41... i'm kind of uncomfortable that they did the "rumor spreading" strip into the anime... njhlfdgfdj it's not that big of a deal, but the uneasiness is still there. The fans didn't seem to notice, but they did when the strip was first translated. I guess it's the most controversial - for Hetalia - strip he made. orz

At least now I know I can get plants that need a lot or medium light...!

day 6 quote

Sat, 26 Sep 2009 01:34:31 GMT

I'll just copypasta my Ellery Channing quotes. And a few others.

"My dear Thoreau, The hand-writing of your letter is so miserabe, that I am not sure I have made it out." -Ellery Channing

"Ellery, who hopes there will be no cows in heaven..." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

"He [Channing] says ... [Thoreau] will never be a writer; he is as active as a shoemaker." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Don't you ever shoot a bird when you want to study it?" -Concordian
"Do you think that I should shoot you if I wanted to study you?" -Thoreau

"/I/ am universal; I have nothing to do with the particular and the definate." -Channing after failing to be able to keep a journal.

"What I got by going to Canada was a cold." -Thoreau

"...[It's] terrible to behold." -Channing, on Thoreau's beard

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 02:01:59 GMT

Well let me see here.

An awesome summary of Ellery Channing's successes. Shut up he was awesome. "Hawthorne hinted as his defect when he wrote: 'Could he have drawn out that virgin gold, and stamped it with the mint-mark that alone gives currency, the world would have had the profit and he the fame'" UGH SHUT UP HAWTHORNE

Lunchboxes. totally gonna make an ellery channing one oh my goddddd

Clone.Manga. As unconventional as Dan Kim can be, he always manages to amaze me. Currenly working on NNN, which I'm waiting until I have patience to read through the first few pages. Other favorites include T42R (don't read if easily offended), PXI, Nana's Everyday Life, and... okay, every comic. Just. I love you dankim.
(i drew him fanart go look at it)

day 3 book

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 04:01:41 GMT

Hmm.

I suggest Good Omens. I have yet to finish it, but I'm right near the end and it is proving to be a Very Nice Book.

The Twelve Kingdoms series is also amazing, by the by.

And finally, John Dies at the End, which is next on my list of Things Maddy Needs to Hurry Up and Read.

I am a slow reader!

Sharing is Caring Meme
For one week, recommend/share:

Day one: a song
Day two: a picture
Day three: a book/ebook/fanfic
Day four: a site
Day five: a youtube clip
Day six: a quote
Day seven: whatever tickles your fancy

Well, okay!

I've been having an affair with these two songs as of late:

Of Monreal - Id Engager
I like songs that seem like they're taking place at parties. The music video is awesome, too.

Of Montreal - Gallery Piece
Slightly terrifying. Incredibly addictive.

school food punishment - Butterfly Swimmer
The singer, Uchimura, is so incredibly happy in this song. I love it. About a minute in, it kicks into high gear. Seriously, I love it.
