Those are the three reasons I have been a bad blogger. ^_^;;;I have an infected sinus. It's fucking terrible. It hurt so bad last night I couldn't eat nachos. James made the best nachos ever and I was stuck eating canned soup because it was soft enough to not hurt to eat. Damn you right frontal sinus!Anyway, I need to dump the pics from the last few weeks that document the real reasons I've been away from blogging so much. First are pics from when Sherri, Leila, and I went down to south Florida for the weekend a couple weeks ago:We started our night at a Mexican restaurant with giant margaritas. Leila and Angel sat next to me. Quoting Old Gregg: Creamy!Then we went to the Coyote Ugly bar.We end up at Wine Bar and then invited after hours to Try My Thai where we were given free drinks and food cuz we're hot. ^_^ Second is some pics of when we went bowling last Thursday in Ormond. Sherri and Lisa were there too, but I didn't get them on camera. And lastly, a pic of last Friday when James and I took Gote to a gig at Badass Coffee in Orlando.

Last night I got to be a cock-blocking uberbitch. I went bowling with James, Leila, Sherri, and Sherri's ex, Anthony. They have this special night where you go and pay $12 and bowl and drink as much as you want for the last two hours the place is open. Well, drink as much beer as you want. If you want well drinks, it's $18. So, being broke as I am, Sherri offered to pay for me, and she got the beer one for me and the well drinks one for her, and we kept trading off and splitting drinks, so I honestly don't know how much I ended up drinking, but it was a lot. But I'm not hung over! Yay! Drinking a lot of water and eating some before bed will really do wonders. My new job is okay. I spent three days solid just marking down merchandise. It's not like especially fun, but it is pretty engaging and the time goes really fast. I'm still looking for other work. I put in a lot of applications yesterday and maybe I'll get something, but I gotta tell ya, it's frustrating not knowing how I'm going to make this work financially.

This world is FUCKED up. As if this weren't bad enough....Family deported, 13-year-old left behind "The family was being deported after living here in the United States the past 15 years... The 13-year-old was the only family member not deported. They immediately applied for political asylum but were denied... Rosaleena is a U.S. citizen because she was born here after her family fled Armenia... The U.S. government will not pay for her plane ticket because she, unlike her parents and siblings is authorized to be here..."Sad enough story, but not that unusual, unfortunately. The really blood boiling detail that compelled me to write this entry? CNN, while reporting this story, ended the segment with "The local community is trying to raise money to buy a plane ticket to send [Rosaleena] home." Home? You fucking douche bags! Home, to that girl, is the country where she lived her entire life. Home for that family is the home the country where almost all their other children's lives were lived. HOME is fucking HERE. To call Armenia, the country that her parents fled for fear of their family's lives, a place she's never likely been, her home is completely absurd. She's sad because her family is leaving her alone! She's not sad because she can't go "home." The ever living fuck. I don't know why I even follow the news some times when I know it's going to be so ignorantly reported.

Why isn't this national news??The customs officials in Hawaii KILLED a medically fragile infant coming to this country for medical care.What the FUCK?

I have NOT been keeping this journal up at all. It's terrible. I blame the lack of comments and overabundance of life. Things are definitely very screwy right now. Here I am, nearly halfway into February, still looking for a job. It's really frustrating and a situation that's getting more desperate every day. I even had to sell my bass to have money to feed my pets. If I don't get a job very soon, something's going to have to give. Which is not to say that everything's been bad lately. My friends typically work during the day and have the night free, so I can work on the job search during the day and hang out with them at night. That keeps things from getting too dull, but it's still really depressing that I still have no source of income after this long. I've been hanging out with James, Leila and James's brother, Travis, quite a bit lately. We've been taking a lot of walks and watching a lot of movies. These are good things to do because they don't take money, hooray. It's been particularly funny watching James "walk" Chippy-the former uses the latter to pull him on his skateboard. Chippy, apparently, would make an excellent sled dog. Well, I'm off to clinic-but to be a patient! It's interesting to go to Palmer not as a student but as an alumni. ^_^
