I don't think I can take much more of this. I guess I just need to move on officially and have no hope for the future. But it's so damn hard.
It's been a month, and every day I still wake up and wish that everything was fixed, and fine.
Blah.

Lady Pyre My massotherapist is always asking me if I've seen any good movies, lately. Drives me batty. The only time I watch movies is if my dad comes for a visit, since that's always been our father/daughter bonding activity. (Well, not always. But I don't think either of us are up for an all-day mountain biking excursion and he's so rancid at video games any more that it's no fun playing against him. I can't believe this is the same guy I could never win a match on. I don't think I've played a fighter with someone who was actually a challenge since the arcades started disappearing...) But yeah. Don't watch movies, much. I keep meaning to rewatch Labyrinth. Never happens. I bought the DVD of the Phantom musical with David Staller and the sequined mask of disco doom a year ago for shits and giggles. Still haven't watched it. And I kinda want to watch the 2004 Phantom in French (I think my DVD has a French dub on it) because my whole problem with that version is Gerard Butler can't carry a tune in a bucket and, since I know the words by heart, anyways, maybe it would actually be enjoyable... Trust me, don't watch it in French... it's dread awful. Even as a native French speaker, I can't stand dubbed songs as, because French is constructed differently from English, they had to rephrase the whole thing and it tends to bug me. Also, the actors look funny when they speak French and their lips are speaking English (even if the dub actors and writers are doing their best to hide this).

Tomorrow is my last day of work this year. I should be thrilled to bits about this, but I'm just so down about other things - specifically one big thing named Christmas, but plenty of fussy little things as well - that it isn't even registering on the fun-o-meter. Feh. Maybe once my little impromptu vacation gets underway in earnest - I mean I did just put in for next week off today, heh - I'll be more into it. But right now all I can think about is how me doing what I want or need to do ruins everyone else's life, how my stomach hurts, how my stomach is totally inappropriate-looking considering I'm going to have to expose it in a month and a half when I jump into the ocean for charity, whether my period is going to strike at Christmas the way it struck at Thanksgiving (because my body loves me), and a variety of other things that I can't think of right now because my stomach pain is driving that out of my mind. ffffff

Benisato Trust me, don't watch it in French... it's dread awful. Even as a native French speaker, I can't stand dubbed songs as, because French is constructed differently from English, they had to rephrase the whole thing and it tends to bug me. Also, the actors look funny when they speak French and their lips are speaking English (even if the dub actors and writers are doing their best to hide this). The whole lips matching thing doesn't bug me. I grew up on bad kung fu movie dubs, so I'm pretty used to it. It's hearing the Phantom being voiced by someone who is more suited to a garage band than musical theater that makes me cry. Here's a thought: if you have to alter songs by entire octaves so the hack you've cast can hit the notes, even WITH all of the in-studio editing you can do for a movie soundtrack, maybe you made the WRONG CHOICE. kerminatrix Tomorrow is my last day of work this year.

That's really awesome of you, kermi. (That is you, isn't it? I think I've only seen one other pic of you, but it looks like what I remember, and the little blurb on the site is you all over.) Remind me to send a donation when I have time to get my credit card info (and explain to my mom what it is, since we use the same account). Right now, I have to get some crap ready since my dad is coming in two hours. Kilana I don't think I can take much more of this. I guess I just need to move on officially and have no hope for the future. But it's so damn hard. It's been a month, and every day I still wake up and wish that everything was fixed, and fine. Blah. The thing with the ex? "Giving up" will probably hurt you less in the long run. But then my last breakup kinda made me a jaded b***h about these sorts of things, so keep that in mind. I've only ever been able to stay friends with one ex (and I'm not sure that counts since it was a strictly long-distance relationship). Unfortunately, that friendship kinda fell through too, but not because of the break-up.

Kilana: As Pyre said, give up and move on. I've kept in touch with none of my ex and, for my sanity, it's better that way.
Kerminatrix: That's awesome. You've got lots of nerve to do this for a cause. wink
Lady Pyre: I admit that these Japanese movies take the cakes when it comes to bad dubbing. But I've gotta say that the singer that does the Phantom in the French version is decent, but at least better than Gerard Butler indeed.

My dad damned near gave me a heart attack yesterday. He bought me a portable scanner, but for some reason the case was packaged separately. Of course, I wound up opening the case first. Me: What's this? Dad: It's a case for your vibrator. Me: Huh!? Dad: It's to keep your vibrator in. Don't you have a vibrator? Me: N-no... Dad: Well. I guess you'll have to get one. Me: Wha-? Dad: Maybe there's one in one of these other boxes. It so did not help my mental state that the case said "magic wand" on it. You have no idea how damned relieved I was when I opened the box the scanner was in. I mean... how ******** creepy would it be for your dad to buy you a vibrator? "Think of me next time you masturbate, honey!" Oh my God... If living with him when he was a verbally abusive a** didn't give me daddy issues... gonk I think this is a hint for me to go through all of the old photo albums and scan them for him. This could be rather tedious.

rofl I've got to say that the whole Magic Wand thing is absolutely insane and far on the creepy side but it does provide material for hilarious posts.

Heh. Yes, that's me. So far, the only people signed up are my "work brother" Ryan (some people have work spouses, I have a work sibling), whom I'm proud to say I'm beating in Facebook "likes" for my page, and the CEO, who hasn't made a page yet.
After running all over 3 towns to get presents for my husband and get him the ingredients to make nanaimo bars for a work party (it's adorable that he's making nanaimo bars, who does he think he is, BC Ferries? love him), I feel less stressed out. Also, the period question was answered, and so was the "blistering stomach pain" question. So I've just got tomorrow to cook all day and buy some bakery cookies for my grandfather-in-law, who prefers store-bought to home-made... sigh. Then it's down to the main event and everything's out of my hands. Well, I guess I also need to get some more wrapping paper, because I'm fresh out.

The plan was to come home and post a super-excited "SQUEEEEEE!" but my brain couldn't handle the excitement past lunchtime and then the amount of angry negative customers crammed into the store really just killed it.
So instead, I'm just going for a tired and slightly disbelieving but happy "yaaay!"
edit: aaaaaaaaand now for the real disbelief and the sheer terror that "oh geeze this can't be real everyone's catching me playing pretend oh geeze oh geeze how do I get out of this" gaaah.

What was the squee for again, Pasta? whee
Pyre: That is HILARIOUS. Thanks for the post about the vibrator and oh man I think I want one of those....then again I'm not in school. It would have been great for school. wow.
Kerm: Great thing you're doing for charity! I might donate but I can't promise anything. I spent so much over the holidays. Almost all my money from two weeks of work. Man, I have so many hours at work but that's a good thing....I think. XD I can't wait till Christmas!!
Also, I love the ocean. crying heart

I should practically be at my parents' right now, but instead I'm waiting (hoping) for the Mechanic shop to open so I can get my car looked at.
stupid dashboard light making me nervous right before a trip...
edit: Aaaand all the extra money I'd earned in the holiday rush is gone. Merry ******** Christmas, car. You better like it.

Weee! It's Christmas time where I get to go over my parents and have fun with them.
Although, when my mom drinks, she tends to tell disturbing stuff ie things you REALLY REALLY don't wanna know about that person.
