I really don't want to work today. But if I call in sick, my dad (who doesn't work on Thursdays) will get pissy. Anyone who knows my dad, knows that it's one of the lower levels of hell to be around him when gets pissy. I wish he worked today.

But the idea of doing an entire day's worth of work, and then going to my chorus rehearsal... gah. I can't think of anything more exhausting than pretending to be okay until 9:30 or later. And I'm not going to miss rehearsal, we're only three weeks into the term. I do need to remember to bring a pencil this time, grr.

Besides, it's been my experience that no matter what else is going on in my life, chorus makes me feel many times better, if only for that three hours. Must remember to beg a ride from Gayle.

I normally have a short attention span and low tolerance for frustration, but for the past few days I've had zero. Anything that requires any mental effort at all feels like too much, and I get snappy and cranky.

Beware sailors....I'll kill you all!

You scored as Mermaid. Mermaid: Mermaids are also known as Sirens. These creatures were beautiful women who tricked sailors into becoming completely entranced by their haunting voices and found death soon after. Not all stories of Mermaids are about gentle loving sea people. They are mystical, magical, and extremely dangerous. They have a way about them that brings anyone they are around to seem enchanted. They are very mysterious creatures and to meet one... Would mean certain Death. Let the song of the Sea fill your soul, for you are a Mermaid. </td> Mermaid 84% Angel 50% Faerie 50% Dragon 34% WereWolf 25% Demon 8% What Mythological Creature are you?

Went to American Apparel and got a shirt to replace the black scoop-neck one I wear out all the damn time. This one is thinner material, which is a fuck of a lot more comfortable. It also means that when I pull it on, I always yank it down too far so my bra is showing. It's reversable, but then I've got all this back exposed. Dunno if I'll ever wear it that way. Only if I put my hair up in pigtails or something.

Need a new flesh-colored bra, my old one accidentally got washed without a lingerie bag and got all funky and doesn't fit me anymore. But if I actually go "out" with my nicer (and white) bra, the second I'm under black lights, I'm pretty much flashing everyone. Dammit, if I'm gonna flash my bra at people, I want it to be intentional, and not a wardrobe malfunction.

I tried on this cool polo dress they have, but I wanted something black, and when I put on the black one, it looked really military. I usually wear my doc martens when I go dancing, and that would make it even worse. In another color I'd just look kinda old-school preppy or something.

I think one of the reasons I've hardly ever worn black in the past is because it makes you look thinner. I had black pants on and was trying on black shirts and I'd pop out to see myself in a bigger mirror and think, WTF?

In a similar vein of conversation, does anyone want to go out tomorrow night? I'm thinking Fez, but I have no idea if anyone wants to do anything. I'd prefer to come back to my parents' house in Beaverton afterward, as opposed to crashing at a friend's place.

Since our most recent supervisor left to go back to Oakridge and get married, we were looking to hire a supervisor. Dave in our department ended up getting the job. It makes sense, since he's worked here the longest and knows everything about the department, but it does kinda put him in an odd spot; as he's in his mid-50's and unmarried and is now the direct superior to ten women, all but two under the age of 30.
