HAPPY MEGA PI DAY I GUESS

yeah so last night sucked so hard. tonight is gonna also suck. sunday night is gonna suck MOST OF ALL. yeah. i've accepted my fate. it's gonna be a rough work weekend. i'm over going into long details about dumb work and why it's dumb and stuff though. that used to be all i wrote in my ljs lol.

but if you're curious, the main reasons apart from the usual are st. paddy's day [reminder: please be nice to ur service workers even and especially when drunk/high off your ass. thx], and this like nation-wide skating event happening at the rink across the street from us???? which resulted in our parking lot, WALMART'S parking lot and every other parking lot within like a hundred yards or two being completely slam full of crazy people who were going skating. i don't understand how they fit that many people in a not that big sized skating rink. idek. so it had us pretty steady all night but then at 3:30 the event started ending i guess? even though we were told 5 am? and there started being BUSLOADS OF DRUNK PEOPLE DUMPED INTO OUR PARKING LOT LIKE 40 AT A TIME. and long story short i stayed an hour and a half late last night with no break. and sunday they're doing this same thing again only we'll have a less competent work team that night. yeeeah. if i die bury me at sea

IDK I'M SLEEPY AND HUNGRY AND NO ONE IS TEXTING ME and i'm sad about it. i'm used to actual human contact now wtf

animals are ANNOYING ME 2DAY WEH. murphy turns out to apparently also be one of those cats who needs to reach outside his litter box and pull in every object within 3 feet of it when he's even thinking about the damn thing, let alone actually needs to poop. just sees litter box and goes in there, scrapes every single thing for 5 minutes straight, pulls in any clothes/loose objects nearby, then walks back out. laskdjlkjsdfljasdj. and arty is screaming in my ear and uaaagh. i may need to leave the house and go find something to do to chill out. idk. just drive somewhere.

oh and on top of all this craziness... somebody smashed into my roommate's car in the parking lot last night. and fucking totaled it. like, broke the rear axle. what the FUCK MAN lol. so now they need a new car, when they just got this one like six months ago. it wasn't like the fanciest car or anything but jesus christ. but also i'm kinda glad i was working because i was parked in that very spot before i left... coulda been Jibba's last day on earth. D:

so yeah. being kind of a weird weekend. idk man. next weekend is also going to be a weird one i guess. but hopefully a little easier on the nerves than this -_- i might find something to do outside the house because i need to open my brain up a little bit. things will look a little more optimistic once i've eaten some good food.

FEEL LIKE TODAY NEEDS ANOTHER UPDATE

so i did indeed go out to save point and it was totally worthwhile. def gave my day a much happier note.

went up there and came home with a new gamecube [although i still have my old one, they had no need for parts for a disc-based console] and a spare AV/power cable. sooo i guess i'll give my old one to someone who needs one haha?? that's how i got mine last summer, someone gave it to me for free, so. only this time it WILL come with cords. :v but it also came with a controller, like AN OFFICIAL NINTENDO CONTROLLER and it blew my mind how much better it was than the third party new one i've had since like august. omg. the third party one works fine but it has no weights in the handles and like. the weighted one just feels like sex in your hand compared to it. omg. it's so comfortable and natural yas.
oh and the gamecube itself is purple!! very classic. even though it doesn't match the black/white of all my other consoles, somehow it fits in better there. maybe because the system was always advertised purple, like the wii was advertised white. idk!

also got a working copy of Metroid Prime since the one i bought a few weeks ago didn't work for some reason, and omg. didn't expect to get hooked IN THE TUTORIAL LEVEL LOL. i meant to just play the tutorial stage and quit, and i did, but it was HARD to quit omg. i did not expect to get so into it that early in the game. GOOD STORYTELLING GREAT JOB WHOEVER MADE THESE. i've never been a metroid player but always heard they were quality. and i think i can already confirm that. yas.
other stuff i got... finally found a good [late] bday present for bb! Goldeneye for n64, which i think is his favorite game and not one that i'd ever owned. so i grabbed him a copy. i think this is the first new n64 game i've gotten since like ten years ago LOL! awesome. and also i got Ico for ps2, because we had this demo version of it on a disc once and i always thought it was cool but never seen the full game available, and it was cheap so i grabbed it. as if i needed more games without cases laying around rofl. but eh it works.
annnd i got a charizard poster that was in the $1 bin! it was a japanese poster of mega charizard Y for the TCG! i have no idea how that ended up there but the guy expressed a lack of surprise that it didn't last long before getting bought rofl. got it for my 'zard collection hell yeah. now i have more megazard stuff.

OH AND... the biggest money oops lolol. grabbed the Zelda Collector's Edition disc for gamecube as well. it's kinda hard to find but they were selling it for like 45 bucks so i grabbed it. runs over 100 bucks online lots of the time. it comes with a demo of Wind Waker as well as the first 2 zelda games, ocarina of time and majora's mask. [apparently i must own majora's mask on every possible console lolol.] now all i need is the gamecube twilight princess and i'm basically set for zelda on gc LOL! good. yes.

so i played Metroid Prime some, checked the Zelda game to make sure it played, and then decided to peek at my poor neglected animal crossing town LOL. i hadn't played it since september. :x but it was alright. just picked HELLA FUCKIN WEEDS. literally hundreds of weeds in the last five months. i don't even think i got them all now that i think about it but i spent like 30 minutes picking weeds and apologizing to my villagers for disappearing the whole winter lolol. only had one move away! and one or two others moved in. so that's cool i guess. i'm not as invested in this town but also i saw Wild World for sale at save point and was like .... better not.... lol. two towns is already too much!!

so. yeah. games stuff. makin me feel a little better about life. and now i'm clean and showered and thinking about what i want to do with my hair eventually. oh and bb brought me jimmy johns because i was having a craving for it and it was sooo good even though they put cheese on it when i asked them not to :v and jj's is stopping using alfalfa sprouts i guess which makes me SO SAD BECAUSE OH MY GOD i love alfalfa sprouts. i will eat shitloads of them on everything. ;_; and yeah. even though i spend lots of time in that grease pit serving angry drunks... my life is so much more than that. my life is spending time in the sun and making good art and talking to friends [even when we have busy days and can't talk to each other much sometimes] and playing good games both retro and new and eating good food and. yes.

last night hiccup wrote "Joy is real" in red ink on my arm and i think he's going to do it again tonight. at the base of my forearm so it's covered by my sleeve just barely, and i can pull it back to reveal it but it won't get washed away. and it helped me so much. that part of the song sounds like flying as high as your wings can possibly carry you, so high you feel lightheaded and can't breathe properly. joy. is. real. it's so real.

and now arty is making a nest in his cage like he always does at night. god you're so effing cute you big idiot. and i must go to work and experience yet another saturday night :v
