Today's quiz:

Which Survivor of the Impending Nuclear Apocalypse Are You?
A Rum and Monkey joint.

If I said I understood that quiz, I would be lying.

"You're unique...just like everyone else."
I've got a rant that's tumbling about in my head and has been for several days now, but I'm still more asleep than awake. You know, that part of a rainyish looking morning where you keep stretching, yawning, and maybe scratching behind an ear.
*stretch*
*yawn*
*scritch scritch*
*puuuuuuurr*
*snore*
Ack, NO! Can'tfallasleepcan'tfallasleepcan'tfallasleep....darnit. I've got my major, "ha, there's no way you're getting cut from your evening shift today" double. And then I spend another half day up at the store tomorrow.

This happens every spring; t's just been too pretty to work outside lately (incidentally, this would also happen during college classes, and though I didn't skip much, I did skip once or twice). Somehow, I just don't mind giving up my shifts as much, but I need to keep the money coming in if I am seriously thinking about moving out. Which means getting a new, full time job. Maybe one where I can't give up my shifts as easily and the money I would make from day to day wouldn't be such a gamble (it's all based on how much extra the customer is willing to leave).

There's another rant building up there, but I don't really want to write about it.

So, changing the subject completely,
remember my 27 unique monsters? Well, 28 is trying to come into existence. White tiger (and the only reason it isn't a lion is because lions aren't as artsy appealing to me), gold eyes, nice sharp claws, but uber kawaiiness. And a personality that wants to be anything but uber kawaiiness; kinda like Rondo (the creature), just not as bad. This little tiger can tolerate being cute if it gets him/her something out of it.

In which case, that little trait has instantly made the tiger a male. ^_~

I'm going to play FFX-2 one more time
just because not all of the DressSpheres are mastered yet (including that annoying, frapping Gun Mage (think Blue Mage) one). And this time around, I'll join up with New Yevon and let the Ronsos go to war. I'm so evil. ^^;

"Today is a gift. That's why it's called the present."

I thought Mom raised me to be an independant, self -reliant person who isn't swayed by thoughtless or inconsiderate fashions.

...so why the HELL is she exercising her "parental right" to control my life?
"You can't be friends with so-and-so."
"You shouldn't be dating so-and-so."
"You should be working at this store, not that one."
Followed up with, "You're not capable of taking care of yourself. I'm doing this for you. It's in your best interest."

I love my mom. Seriously. Would not trade her for the world. But I'm tired of being kept in plastic--I want to go out, live, screw up, and learn from my screw ups. You don't learn through vicariousness. Sure, God commanded us to honor our parents, but not to the extent that what they say is the final word. God is my final word. When I do something, I want to worry about what God thinks, not what Mom thinks.

It's getting to where I'm almost ready to just cut and run, if even and only for a day.

*sighs miserably*
