I am way too f'ing awake

[maderr]

Nothing says 'the day is going to be interesting' like waking up at 4:30 and being unable to sleep again. Worse, I started writing and I'm never awake enough in the morning to do that. Whackiness, I tell you, pure whackiness. But, it's Thursday! I have to work on Saturday, since it would seem the others get jack shit done if I'm not there to play Hitler -__- I think I should get paid extra to be a weekend supervisor, but you know, wishful thinking.

Anyway.

Yesterday, woman at office was upset because her husband totally forgot it was their anniversary. And I was discussing it later with another girl, and I don't think she got what I was saying--that I understand why the woman was upset, and I sort of sympathize, but for my part, I just don't give a damn. I mean, maybe it's me trying to justify my own shitty behavior. I hate getting gifts because I suck at giving them. I never remember birthdays and crap; my siblings always have to tell me when its our parents anniversary and stuff like that. So maybe I'm trying to justify already that if I ever do wind up with a wedding anniversary on my hands, I'm likely never to recall it. I just don't care. In my head, it's the being together that matters, not the day it was formalized or legalized or what the hell ever. I just don't think I'd ever sit there angsting all day because my husband forgot our anniversary--if anything, he'd be the one pissed off with me for forgetting. Then again, I'd probably wind up with someone who cares about as much as me. We'd probably have to go ask our families when we got married. That sounds way more like my life.

I don't think the girl got that's what I was trying to say - I understand it matters to others, and I even get why, sort of. Just, if it were me, I so would not care.

To switch topics, animeartistjo gave me this ebook last night and I totally loved it. Never thought I'd like a Torq story, but I did. Credit where credit is due.

Finally paid up my webspace last night, so hopefully this weekend I can get around to updating that and all. I also need to finally set up my printer with my new comp, and do shit I should have done a long time ago.

It's raining today; that combined with my waking up entirely too early guarantees I'll be trying not to nap come lunch time. Argh. Still, tomorrow is Friday, and even if I have to work Saturday, at least after that there'll be a weekend.

I know how you feel. Didn't even manage to fall asleep until three, and then up at 6:30.

XD I'm like that too, with dates. I forget all manners of things, but my worst is birthdays. I understand that they're important and I do try normally, but if I don't have a note somewhere it will completely fly from my head. I mean really, I've forgotten my own before. Those days made for amusing memories.

It's raining over here too. Way to make the morning. Good luck at work~

(by the way, your ebook link directs back to this entry. Just to let you know.)

(What's a Torq?)

Aha, shows you how awake I am. I typed out the code, then forgot to fetch the link ^^;;; Will go fix that. Thanks.

Torq = torquepress.com. Generally speaking, I hate torq. They claim they put out quality stuff, but 99.9% of the time it's just bad porn.

XD *snrk* that summary made me laugh.

Oh, I see. Gotcha.

See, I'd like to say that I wouldn't care too much about my own anniversary, but I'm not actually sure. Considering how often I forget crap, I would hope that I'd understand if my partner forgot. But I know I wouldn't go on wailing that, "She forgot and therefore doesn't love me anymore, WAHHHH!!!" like some people actually do. (People's logic sometimes boggles my mind.)

OMG, I love that book! I've been a fan of the author since, well, forever, so that helps. (At least since ninth grade or so, but that's just about forever, right?) I definitely recommend her other stuff as well, but I think "Dark Lord Seeks Friendship..." was probably my favourite.

If you loved the book, how about checking out her online comic, Friendly Hostility? It's as funny as her book and while the simple, quirky art takes a bit getting used to, I love it and check every day in the hopes of updates. Plus, it was begun in 2004, so there's A LOT to read. ^______________^ Enjoy.

yuppers, i suck at remembering those stuff on the day of since i usually only remember those 'important' stuff a week ahead of time then promptly forget. but then my parents raised the kids with the understanding that yeah these days can hold sentimental value, but they're in reality and when put in perspective with things aren't all that important. Considering how short and unexpected life can be, i think i'd rather everyone was healthy and fine then worry about who forgot who's birthday/anniversary/etc.

the summary of the ebook cracked me up XDDD

Your comment about having to ask parents when your anniversary was made me think of Sky. ^^; I wonder when hers is... or if she even knows... 9.9

Ah, 'Dark Lord...' I wish Torq accepted PayPal, I truly do. I've been wanting to read Elisa Viperas' stuff for a very long time, but I have no credit card and don't really want to borrow my Dad's so I can buy stuff from a gay porn site. Or well, any porn site.
Must get a credit card this year.

As for the rest: I hate it when you're trying to talk to someone and they don't get what you're saying and take it the wrong way.

And I hope you can get some sleep. I have myself been recently deprived of sleep to the point where I wound up so tired I was struggling not to cry. I hadn't even thought that was possible over the age of six. So best of sleep to you. :)
