Writer's Block: Eat Your Vegetables  

The fall harvest is showing up in markets now, including many of the green vegetables children find so disgusting and yet are forced to eat. What is the most disgusting thing you’ve eaten, either by choice or against your will?

Mussels. When I was staying in France one year, the family I was staying with boiled up a massive pan of the mussels. As it was the only thing they were cooking for lunch, I decided to give them a try - even though they smelt and looked absolutely disgusting.

I managed to choke down one, and I swear I nearly vomited. I really didn't want to come across as rude, but, I felt I had no choice but to not eat any more - it was just so bad.

I have since been told that mussels aren't usually boiled, and maybe that's a reason why they tasted (and smelled, and looked) so repulsive, but, after that little experience, I'm not exactly rushing to try any more.

There are probably other foods I can't stand that I can't think of at the moment, but those mussels were the first things I could definitely remember.

FUCK  
TJ just got fired because, Wednesday when some bullshit happened, she was considered a no call, no show. Despite me telling Randy what was going on and everything was fucking fine. If me letting them know wasn't good enough, they should've TOLD ME and I would've told TJ to call in and explain what happened.

EVEN THOUGH I ALREADY DID.

Fucking lovely. I can't fucking do this on my own. I cannot support the both of us by myself. And TJ can't get a job where she has to put up with people directly all day. This was fucking perfect for us. We worked the same hours, we got our checks at the same time.

Things were going to be okay. We could save up, move out and not continue to be stuck in a shitty fucking situation that we can't pull ourselves out of.

This is such fucking bullshit.

EDIT: A bit of detail into what happened.

TJ had a huge panic attack on Wednesday. She dropped me off at work, said she was going to park, and then peeled out of the parking lot. I was left there with that awesome feeling of OH SHIT in my stomach. I go in to work, tell Randy (the manager above Sam, my manager) what happened and what's up. He asks me if I need to go home and I explain that I have no way home so I'll just keep my phone on me and try to touch base.

I eventually contact TJ (she went to Rob's). I let Randy know everything's okay and EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I assumed me telling them what happened was considered reporting her off. I think nothing of it and no one tells me if I should have her call and report off herself.

So, she goes in this morning and they terminate her for being a no call, no show.

Weird. First time I've been home alone in almost two years where I'm not fretting about where the other half is.

I have no clue what to do with myself.

I'm kinda sleepy. I'd intended to crank up my music and clean a bit, but my stomach feels icky and we're out of pepto. :/

Laaaame.

I am pleased with what the Internet has to say about me. :D  

So, marquis_delint, your LiveJournal reveals...



You are... 1% unique and 5% herdlike (partly because you, like everyone else, enjoy writing). When it comes to friends you are normal. In terms of the way you relate to people, you are wary of trusting strangers. Your writing style (based on a recent public entry) is intellectual.

Your overall weirdness is: 44

(The average level of weirdness is: 29.
You are weirder than 83% of other LJers.)

Find out what your weirdness level is!

Henry, can you maybe talk to Travis about his computer?? Maybe it really IS haunted! He won't stop calling me about it! I'd help but he's always on the road so I don't know where he is. He drives trucks!

Anyway, I thought that since there are some people in town that don't get along that well that maybe this time if we all got together and really planned a nice welcome for the new people that we'll all get along much better! I think that's a good thing. So I got together some people to say hi to Alex!!

And then we found out a lot about him kind of by accident! So maybe if you don't know Alex really well, you shouldn't read this? Alex said he wanted this to be a secret unless you know him real well! )

That went better than I thought actually! Maybe things will be okay for the party! Last time our window got broken. :(

Come to think of it, Dahlia wasn't using her font! I guess cause she was on a different computer. And Laura changed her screenname a little! I wonder why?

Been awhile without an update, eh? It's been a rather stressful and interesting time. New people coming into my life, Dave's continued dickery, my aching body that can hardly sit in this chair (which I will get to in a moment).

But before I begin anything: I would buy these if they were sold, no lie. I don't know what would be done about the minor arcana, but dawwwwwwww.

On Tuesday I blacked out early in the morning and fell on what and god knows what. My tailbone got banged up pretty bad, but I doubt I landed on my back as my right thigh hurts just as bad. So I can't sit because my tailbone feels like it's the size of my fist sometimes. Then I went out with my cousin to lunch who had a pretty lousy day herself. But I tried to make the best of it and hope I didn't annoy her.

Spent a decent deal of time today at a neighbor's house. When I walk Max the kids are usually outside and Max decides to detour into their driveway and get their attention. I spent so long there their mother came outside to see what was going on. She has a lisp and it made me smile internally. The kids -4 girls, but I know they have more children- enjoy Max and he enjoys their attention, but it also got them asking questions about myself and the people I live with. Before I left to head right into our lawn they asked me for my name and for reasons unknown, that made me so happy. After having so much lousy things happen day after day, it's such small gestures that make you think maybe it's not so bad.

And some other things happened that I'd be embarrassed to talk about. Yeah.

I need to watch this week's Heroes and Dexter. Though it does seem after last season, Heroes is taking the fanservice route. Or that's the vibe I get from it, at least.

As I told the girls next door: drink water, kids, even if your not thirsty, or you might fall asleep standing up.

First Full day of Weight WAtchers  
I signed up for the 3 month period on the website and have started counting my points. My problem right now is that now I am "restricted" I feel more hungry then I would if I could eat everything in the house. I know that this will go away with time (and once I get over the idea I am not starving ;) heck if I could eat anything in this house right now chances are I wouldn't LOL)

I think that this will end up being a great thing once I start figuring out all the great snacks and low point but great meals.

I'm actually kinda excited :)
