yuuagoWow, my family is really stressing me out. It's nothing in particular, I guess, just everything building on top of itself in a really annoying way. I guess when you put two people who don't like each other in one house and expect them to get along, it doesn't work out well. But there isn't anything that can be done about it for now.
Work's stressing me out a little too. Well, it's more the people that I work with, really. I'm sick of hearing racist and sexist and homophobic things flung around the workplace, but I can't actually say anything about it because I need this job and I can't risk losing it. (And besides, it'd be pretty much the same no matter where I work. I've come to realize that. I really should just get better at tuning that bullshit out, or something). And I guess I'm just kind of sick of thinking that someone is nice, then hearing them spew some hateful bullshit. It's disappointing. (And makes me think that I'm never going to make any friends in this town... I really don't want to associate with people like that.)
Well, that's depressing.
In happier news: Iron Maiden in less than a week! Ahhhh! I just hope that everything will go fine. Then again, I don't see why it wouldn't, but... I dunno, I'm worried that the five-hour drive down to Edmonton will be awkward, I guess. The problem with me is that I run out of things to talk about really easily, and after that happens, I tend not to say anything at all, which some people find kind of weird/boring/something. ... Well, I guess if worst comes to worst, we can toss an Iron Maiden CD in the player and jam to it. :D
Been flip-flopping on whether to get in on this group doujinshi order that some of my friends are involved in. Jesus, Consta and Jay are such enablers. I think I might do it - it's just a matter of deciding what I want (and soon, because time is running short). Up until now, all the doujinshi I've owned have been second hand, so this will be interesting. Ordinarily, I wouldn't do this - it seems like a hassle, and I don't like giving people my personal information, and whatnot. But man, y'know, I don't expect I'll be able to get these at any other time, and that Sweden/Norway doujin is far too tempting.
I blame Consta for this. It's all her fault. ;) Hell, this week, I received a doujin in the mail, too; that brings my small collection up to four. (And it was my first R-18 doujin, too. How scandalous.) I thought this was the one fandom-related collection I would never get into, but it looks like I was wrong. I just love looking through them; I notice something new every time. Now, if only I could read them--! (Though with one of them, the seller kindly provided me with a translation-script! And oh gods, it's so sweet <3 Ahhhhh)
Anyway. Hot damn, I really need to get this fest fic drafted. I have about 200 words, and the minimum is 500, but... this story is definitely going to take more than 500 words. I'm guessing about 2k, maybe more. Argh. Let's get down to business!

Date: 2012-07-25 08:21 am (UTC)Oh man can I relate to that. Lots of ignorant dickheads at my work place. I think it would bother me less if they were being deliberate about it but they actually just don't know any better than to make sexist and racist remarks and it's disturbing.
I also have that problem of running out of things to talk about. My solution has been to bring along a Gemini. They never shut up.

I just wish there was some way to find a job somewhere where people aren't like this but it's practically impossible, arrrrgh.
