  • Self-Pity Blog

    Spoiler Alert-I'm griping about things that are either beyond my control or beyond my will to correct.

    I'm fucking lonely right now.  It's 12:30 in the morning and I got out of work a half hour ago.   Work was alright, nothing spectacular but it almost always leaves me wanting some sort of meaningful human interaction.  I get to ruin peoples days at my job on a fairly regular basis.  The thing is, that it's up to me whether or not I want to ruin them.  Generally the decision boils down to if I feel they are or are not being a dick to me personally.  I understand that, chances are, their day hasn't gone to well considering that they end up at my place of work.  I also understand that I could, potentially turn their day around with my magical pharmacy powers.  I don't want to.  I want to make them feel shitty.  I pull enjoyment from this, getting back at people in a regular and meaningful way.  Then, when I have time to dwell I see the insignificant piece of shit that would willfully impede someone's well being.  This is what I have to look forward to for a long time, if not the rest of my working career. 

    I cannot find a decent Slacker station.  Everything I turn to ends up to be quite depressing.  Ingrid Michaelson, Metric, Decemberists, they all have the common element of Death Cab for Cutie which fucking crushes my will to live.  I really wish that I had something upbeat to listen to right now.  Even Electric Six winds it's way back to DCfC.  Why the hell is that?  It makes no sense.

    I perused the Yamstein pics that Jewps was kind enough to upload.  That, if anything, is why I feel so goddam lonely right now.  The thing is, that it's not even not being at the party.  What kills me is that I didn't really want to go.  Don't get me wrong, I love hanging out with Jewps and Shawn, Matt, Beth, and Ging when he's around as well as a few others that I can't think of right now and have no intention on digging names for.  There are new people to the group which I don't want to get to know.  It sounds stupid and self defeating, and really, it is.  I don't want to go through the process of making new friends, but I desperately want friends to hang out with.  It's so fucking dumb.  Seriously, Louis the XIV on the E6 station?  Kill me now, please. 

    In conclusion, I love my daughter of a year and my wife of nearly 2 years.  I love my friends and desperately miss them.  I love being close to my parents who I really didn't like being apart from when I was in the 603.  I'm having a hard time finding enjoyment out of these few things.  I could make new friends if I wanted to but until I magically come with that desire I'll make due with what I have.

    End self-pity rant.

    Shaws has a sale on sausages this week.  You buy some and they give you peppers and onions for free.  It's a tasty sausage, peppers, and onions meal for pretty cheap.  Sarah whipped it up and it was quite tasty.

    Well shit, I tried to do something different but I don't think that I can make it work.  The whole choose your own adventure thing seemed like a really cool idea and cranking out words actually turned out to be a lot easier than I thought.  The problem that I'm having is that I've lost interest in the story.  Maybe because of the nature of the thing, I never built a strong connection with my setting or characters.  Either way, I'm not having fun writing "Escape from New Zombieton".  I'm really thinking that if I want to finish this I need to start something else...that would put me a couple thousand words behind though.  Advice?

    In life news, it's been almost a year since the last time I posted here.  I'd like to say that life has been busy since then, but it really hasn't.  Sarah and I have a baby and we both work.  Essentially that's life right now.  Of course there are huge financial difficulties, but that's more from Sarah and I having crap jobs than having a baby.  Speaking of which, she just woke up.  I thought that I had at least another hour before she woke up from her nap.  I'm going to go play with the little zergling now.  Laterz

  • Someone's getting pukey and it's not my wife...

    Actually I think it was one of the dogs.  My father-in-laws dog to be precise, not because she's sick...but because she's retarded.  So, it's been over a month since I've updated and what a month it's been. 

    The three of you already know this, but Sarah's pregnant.  At first I was just really really excited and happy.  These emotions sort of overrode the feeling of fear, and dread, and inadequacy that were lying underneath the whole time. Now, like zombies, they've risen from the depths and are currently chewing on scalp to get some of that o' so nutritious brain.

    I've been reading books and researching this whole baby thing in my spare time and it's starting to feel like I want an extension on this whole 9-month gestational period thing.  There's so much more that I feel I need to do to get ready for this baby than I can in the 8 months I have left.  She's due August 4th by the way.  We found that out at the Ringling Brother's OB/GYN.  Seriously that place was shit.  The secretaries were fucking annoying and stupid and the doctor was trying to scam me out of money by scheduling Sarah for a billion fucking appointments a month.

    Christmas happened by accident last Saturday night.  I finished my shopping for the wife and when I came home she asks "what'd I get?" and opens the bags...really?  Yeah.  Really.  So we just sort of exchanged early.  I got some pretty slick new dad clothes.  There's this wicked awesome argyle sweater, a sweater vest, and dark grey Mr Roger's cardigan.  So now, at least, I can look the part.

    Other than that nothing really spectacular happened.  I went to the holiday party at my old CVS.  It was ok...a little awkward, but fun for the most part.  One of the pharmacists invited me and I don't think everyone knew that I'd be there...

    Sarah's been off her medication for about a week now and her moods are fast and furious.  It's kind of like the movie but instead of tokyo drifting.  It's anger and depression with a smattering of giggles.  Right now, my main concern is to get her to see a better doctor.  The one that we saw wanter her to quit straight up...but that's not a good idea.  We spoke to her regular doc and she said to stagger off of them, like one every 2-3 days.  From the way Sarah's been talking...I think she just quit.  It worries me.  Alot. 

    Lately Sarah's been talking alot about missing our old apartment.  It might have something to do with us living with her dad now that he's out on indefinite medical leave.  This whole house situation is turning out to be not at all what we were sold in the first place.  First of all, I'm about 99% sure that this isn't our house.  I'm pretty sure that Sarah's dad is not using our money to fix the place up but instead stockpiling it for cheeseburgers or something.  On one hand as long as we live here we'll have a built in babysitter, which is very nice.  On the other, we're living with my wife's dad.  Awkward central.

    That's it for me.

        I'm due to be at work in like 4 hours and I'm not tired.  This sucks.  My sleeping pattern has been seriously fucked up by this whole "marriage" business.  To be fair, it's not the marriage itself that broke my internal clock.  It's actually my wife and her IC which apparently is running on Greenwich time.  It could be worse.  A lot worse actually.  Like, I think of how bad it could possibly be and it worries me how not-bad my marriage is.  Granted it's only been like 2 months...So I'll check back on this topic in a year or so.

        The PS2 broke.  So now it's just me and my computer with a fance graphics card and 1G of memory.  That's not a lot...and I want more...so I can play Bioshock and Hellgate:London with fancy graphics and not dumbed down ones. This has become another factor of sharing life with a person that both sucks and is awesome at the same time.  I can't just go out and buy an Xbox or PSP(FFT and Dracula X chronicles tee hee) because that's money that we should use for important things.  Like paying off debt and buying groceries.  Sigh.

        So we've been hanging out with Sarah's boss a bunch lately.  It's nice having company.  It brings me back to the Locust street days.  Kris and Jay(her south african husband) come over and we watch funny things on the internet and watch Eddie Izzard and bad movies.  And we're all too poor as shit to do anything else.  Shit I miss you guys.

        The subject of Kris and Jay is something I'd like to throw down.  So the deal is that I really like them both.  Kris is great and reminds me of a more outgoing Beth who married.  Then there's Jay.  He's cool...and he knows it.  Normally this would put me off towards a person.  The thing is he's not a dick, he just knows that he's cool...which he is.  It's kind of difficult to put into words.  It's the kind of thing that makes you not like a person, but it just doesn't work with him.  Now the issue is that their marriage is kind of rocky.  I'm attributing this to Kris needing to be on anti-anxiety meds but having her husband believe that Americans overdose themselves and her being to in love with him to pop some xanax every now and again.  Since Kris is Sarah's boss, my wife has already chosen sides should the shit hit the fan.  *Shrug*

        Anyway, I think I'm going to see what I can do about sleeping.  My shift is coming up sooner than I'd like and I'd prefer not to sleep away my afternoon.

    It's always a good idea to go to bed angry.  As is the case right now.  Sarah is pissed.  I'd say for about half of a good reason.  Apparently some time ago I agreed to learn to tango.  Which, don't get me wrong, I'd like to do.  However she feels that if we learn to tango through youtube it prepares us to tango in public. 

    I don't feel this.  If I'm going to tango in front of people I'm going to learn through an actual instructor.  She, it seems, intended that we learn to youtango by the reception.  Now the huge problem with this is that we never have time together.  Ever.  She sleeps until noon/1pm while I'm doing all the shit I need to get done during the day.  Then we both go to work.  I'm tired and ready for bed by 11 and she's up and ready to go until early the next morning.  I'm sure you can see the inherent difficulties.

    So suffice it to say, I'm going to go take out my contacts and try and prep myself for some hardcore appologizing.  Fun times.
