I really like how that title came out. I'm listening to that track from the Final Fantasy X-2 OST, but it's a remix I found on Over Clock. This site has some nice songs for the hardcore gamers who love the tracks of the originals. I'd guess that they have the original songs, but some of the remixes are really good, of course I went looking for Sonic 3's Ice Cap Zone. I even managed to find a few tracks from Skies of Arcadia. I was suprised to understand that not everything was going to be remixed "techno style" or something. So right now I'm here in the computer lab enjoying the quiet and the little time I have to myself, and I'm trying to browse the LVO boards to catch up on what I've been missing.
They've started a new project, basing their own magazine online, calling it Subarashii. Tony started taking applications to write for their articles in different categories, and to be honest I was really excited and I wanted to take part, but I never found the time, and I couldn't decide what to write about. Also, I was afraid that if they gave me the position, scheduling conflicts would stop me from getting any articles to them for x or y reasons. Even though it's just being showcased on the internet and there isn't a payroll, I'd feel like s**t if I couldn't come through for a deadline. Maybe I'll think of something later.
This week I've got 4 days off. 4. My reactions when seeing this on my schedule went from suprise and anger because I wanted to know where my hours were going, then I was kind of relieved to not work so much, then I was kind of disappointed because even though I might not have to work, I won't be bringing in much money.
I'll only have one day this week towards my paycheck, and I won't even be going to work on Pay Day, as well as school, so if I want my money I'm going to have to hop on the bus and take it all the way over just to grab my money. I guess I'm just going to hold out until I'm 18 so I can open an account with the bank and maybe start a debit card, that way I'll be able to make payments or transactions online and get my paychecks in direct deposit.
I'm glad I'm getting this opportunity to catch up on other things, my room's a mess, and I've been doing my laundry lately in pieces because I get about 2 hours of leeway before I need to go to bed, so I try to wash them before I fall asleep, so that way they can be ready from the dryer when I wake up in the morning. That and just the feeling of not needing to go anywhere or really do anything important will be a huge weight off my shoulders for the time being. I wanted to go visit or see people while I have the chance.
I got really aggravated with my parents yesterday. I got off work around 6 in the evening, so I made it home around 8 so I actually managed to catch them. All I got was a bunch of complaining about this and that, and they had gone to a birthday party with Sophia earlier. I was expecting a little more...I don't know, energy or something I guess from them.
Then while they're eating popcorn I come down the stairs after changing out of my work clothes, and my dad brings up this story about when I got in trouble when I was younger because I lied about eating this bag of popcorn, and they sit there laughing about it. I don't know if it was just me being in a bad mood, but if I wanted to be laughed at, I would have just worked more hours to avoid them. Then of course they pull your usual routine of running into their rooms without even so much as a "Good night, Emiliano."
And then they sit there while I'm putting on my shoes to go to work talking about how much they miss me and how I'm a stranger to the house. I'd rather it be foreign territory the way they're acting. I should try to call John sometime or something. Sometimes their attitude pisses me off to no end when they sit there and complain about something but don't do anything about it, I hate those kind of people. Half the time I don't even think they care that I'm gone, they probably just say it because they think I'm losing my drive.
Nothing's wrong with me, I'm fine never seeing them, I get a lot more time to not deal with them, especially if when I do see them I get a handful of that, you can count me out. They're probably just pissed I'm out of the house so much and they're stuck with each other and Sophia. At least I'm never bored.
School is fine, I'm not doing as good as I could have, I need to keep track of my schedule a lot more so I can prepare for things like tests, I know I'd do better if I just prepped a little. The other day my English Professor didn't even show up to class, so after 15 minutes we wrote a note saying that we were here and we waited and we all signed it then left.
Work's going well, it's never been that big of a deal. Although I'm pretty sure this lack of hours thing is going down because we're nearing the Holiday Season. Those new TXM Tickle Me Elmo dolls have been released, and they've become no laughing matter, pun intended. I'm not even sure if we get shipments, from what my LOD's tell me, we sell out within the hour that we open every day. People have been getting angry with us that we never have them, and the fact that we aren't allowed to hold them on reserve for people doesn't bode well with them either, although I can understand why we have that policy.
Sonja and I even saw this broadcast yesterday on the news about a fight breaking out at a Tampa Bay, Florida Target store because a man grabbed the last two TMX Elmo's when another man made a reach for one, I guess a death threat was announced which was why the police were called. The irrational side of me wants that kind of thing to happen at our store just so I can be there and give my side of the story and be on T.V., that'd be kind of cool.
I told Sonja that I had a plan, because I remember when I was younger and those Tickle Me Elmo's were the greatest thing that people were selling them on eBaY for hundreds of dollars because no other stores carried them anymore and there were just days until Christmas. My plan was to buy 2 of them to sell, and probably get one for Sophia for Christmas. I found a YouTube video of a guy who filmed how the TMX Elmo works, and it's pretty cool, the funniest thing is when he falls on the floor slapping his knee, and he starts laughing so hard, when he tries to talk it comes out as gibberish.
My birthday's next week, I'm going to be turning 18, I'm going to be an adult, another milestone, I guess. This sounds really emo, but it seems like my friends are more excited than my family is, Jason made it an announcement for his J-Team, and Sonja busted heads to get the day off from work. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say it's because they haven't seen me that much is why I haven't heard anything. De Nile is not just a potato you slice.
Where that came from I'll never know. It's not even a relevant pun. I must train harder! scream xd
