Word of the Day: hemidemisemiquaver Even though nearly a month has passed and there's actually been a lot of things going on, I really don't have anything to say. That shows how far my mind has fallen. Also, I don't really know where to begin since it's been so long. I need to quit procrastinating and doing other things. Then again, I had been telling myself that I needed to find a hobby or something; I guess it makes sense that if I spend my time doing something, I don't have the same time to do something else, eh? First off: JD. I love JD. JD loves me. I'm quite content, but I'm also on my guard. I know the situation is quite delicate, and I'm very aware now of the balance. Secondly: Work is stupid. We still don't have a front desk manager [Jeff only lasted a couple of days], and, though we have a new food and beverage/assistant GM guy, Mr. Arnold up and decided to bail on us. Little white-haired bastard, we all loved him so much and he just left us. That hurt, it felt like a betrayal. So now, more than ever, I don't know who's my boss. The new man, Mr. Jones, spoke with me the other day and asked me if I was interested in the front desk manager or supervisor. I embarrassedly informed him that I was not, that I was more interested in being in accounting. He said that he was told I would say that, but he wanted to hear it from me. I was so flustered that I didn't even thank him for the offer or do anything really polite at all. Like I said, I was more embarrassed than anything. People have been saying, 'Oh, you should be manager, blah, blah,' but actually being offered the position was unsettling. Also, he said that Mr. Arnold suggested the offer to him before he left; he never did it himself becuase he felt I would rather be in accounting. That just made me want to hug that little white-haired bastard if he was to ever come back and visit. Next: Patrick is the best. He's talking in sentences for real, and some of the stuff he comes up with is hilarious. I can't think of any examples in detail, of course. Sometimes when I ask him what he's doing, he says he's going to work. I ask him what he does at work, he says he's going to Wal-Mart ['All-Mart']. I ask him if he works at Wal-Mart, but he says that he's going shopping. I tell him to buy something for me, and he'll bring me a 'sandwich' [a pot lid] and we'll eat together. He thinks of all sorts of silly things, and he never lets me read books to him. Instead, he tells me about the pictures. I just hope he stays this imaginitave as he's growing up and that he can incorporate it into who he is. Finally: I've gotten myself involved in a bunch of freaking random 'hobbies' lately, as I mentioned earlier. I've been knitting, which is stupid seeing as I live in South Texas, but some of what I've knit isn't mine. I'm in the process of making JD a hat [because he asked], and I have a list ttthhhhiiiisssslllooonnnnnggg of crap that I want to knit. It'll take me forever, though, because the sweaters and large things like that use lots and lots of yarn that, even if it's not that expensive per skein, adds up in the end. I have to spread it out, so I have to slow down. 'Lost' wound up last week until February, and it was AWESOME. I'm so glad that next season's going to be a straight shot, February to May, no breaks. I'm also so glad that the show's got an end date, so we know it's moving towards a set finale and not just going on and on and on and on. I'm now up to date on both the Naruto anime and manga and also as much as I can find of the Bleach manga and as much of the anime as I care to watch. I've been doing a lot of manga reading Sundays at work since I'm by myself pretty much all day and it's freaking boring. I'm a little embarrassed admitting I like these two since I made fun of 'Naruto' really hard in the beginning, but it's part of my nature. I get sucked into things easily, and Japanese is a funny culture that I'm not familiar with. That's not something I can really help. Finally in this point, I was waivering earlier in the year as to whether or not I was going to participate in NaNoWriMo this year. I've decided that I will because I've been putting together shreds of ideas to form a sort of starting point. The focus on souls and the afterlife in 'Bleach' was a sort of inspiration or a starting point, so thanks to 'Bleach'. I've left out a huuuuge part about JD's mom running away and Laura taking in her cousin's children, but that might be explained in detail another day. I'm done for tonight. Bye bye.
