it's the first of december! traditionally, that means our family puts up the christmas tree and spends the day together getting the house all decorated and stuff. well, i guess since my nan died and i turned eighteen, traditions don't mean anything around here.. i put the entire tree up myself before, lights and tinsel and all. i'm leaving the decorating to james, who will no doubt yell at me for doing it without him. and i woke up late today from having put the tree up at like, 2am. twelve hours' sleep, beautiful. but yeah. woke up, and the whole house is empty. a little confusing, but i thought.. alright then, and walked outside of my stifling hot room.
i switched the air-conditioners on and went to look at my parrots to see if they were alright. it's very hot outside today. i went to open the screen door to my backyard when i noticed two green eyes staring right into mine. leo! my cat had been let outside and someone had forgotten to bring him in again. so i let him in and gave the parrots a spray so they'd be a little cooler, and i'm yet to fix up their food and water. i need to clean my fish bowl today too, i can't keep putting that off.
so here i am, alone. no tinsel up, no family to talk to. alright then. mum talks of how christmas this year is going to be horrible and pointless without my grandmother. she's one of those people who just doesn't see any point to hoping for the best outcome. she just takes it at face value and says, it's going to be awful. why even bother. so, to combat her way of thinking which i usually always disagree with, i'm going to decorate the whole goddamn house by myself. but first i'm going to have coffee and pasta alfredo because i'm really hungry.
i really can't be bothered drawing anything right now, but i'll do you a special drawing when i'm finished my chores okay? love <3 p.s. i did end up kicking that bad mood. i always do! ^_^

do do dobeedo *piano solo*
it's 2:25 in the morning, on a tuesday. updates! my monday shift i ended up not being able to work due to illness and lack of transport, so i gave work a ring and it turns out it was only a three hour shift anyway. the good news is, i scored a seven hour shift today from 11-6! more money for me. the bad news is i'm still awake, and not tired so chances are it's a good thing i now have milk and coffee because i'm sure as hell gonna need it in a few hours.
monday night (last night, a few hours ago) was the replacement christmas party (because the last one was cancelled due to "rain", lol). we had it at pizza hut this time, it seems somebody decided to use the noggin and plan something indoors and not confined to weather restrictions. anyway, it was a decent night! we had the usual secret santa shebang, although i didn't get a gift, but i managed to swipe a box of unclaimed ferreros ;) like i need more lard on me. my secret santa recipient didn't show up either, making me sadface. :c
ooh, i hit 10k gamerscore just before. how lame? but not to worry, it was a string of 25G achievements in a row, and i was on 9875 so it's not like i spent four hours just earning ten million 5G achievements. i found like, seven skulls and got a cumuluative achievement for doing that, then a couple ODST achievements which are total balls. i'm lazy, tired, and you wouldn't believe the migraine i've had spanning the course of the last four or five days. it's ridiculous. i've been bringing up stomach acid too (because you needed to know that). i'll even illustrate it for you, you guys.
see the green stuff? anyway, i've not been feeling particularly flash. i think i ate too much tonight. well, i didn't eat a heap, but it felt like it. pizza always makes me feel disgusting and sick a few hours afterwards. i knowingly induce this pain for its temporary greasy deliciousness. i never have pizza, it's a rare treat. you'd never guess it, would you.
so, now that i've got a considerable amount of money saved up, it's time to work towards common saving goals. xbox games are exempt from these goals. i've got $500 stockpiled for that cause alone, for the boxing day sales. it's gonna be riotous, so at least i'm prepared this year. last year i walked out of harvey norman with assassin's creed II, four guitar hero games and a $4 copy of oblivion. hopefully i'll have a few more titles after christmas! oh, crap. remind me to tell work i'm unavailable for a week in december. U2 concert is so close. i'm so goddamn excited, it's starting to become something quite difficult to suppress.
oh god, i'm a fat slob and people took photos of me tonight. hopefully nobody will be unkind enough to tag me in them on facebook (which is inevitably where they will end up). thank god i have a curtain of hair. a very long curtain of hair, actually, i didn't realise just how filthily long it's grown since i last straightened it out lol. it's halfway down my back. considering i was going to chop it once it surpassed shoulder length some time ago, that's some pretty slack upkeep there yvette. tsk.
well it's now half-past two in the morning, so i'd better think about scooting off to sleep. my parents aren't going to be able to take me to work on-time, so i'm hoping to get up early so i can walk without being in a hurry, and sweating all my makeup off. this weather is so foul, i hate it. hurry up december storms. that's all from me until next time, hopefully work won't be half as busy as it was on sunday. love<3

you've killed god.
oh god. today was sunday, and it was the busiest shift i have ever worked in my life. basically, we had our big christmas sale today: 25% off everything in christmas-ware excluding food and various shit that doesn't scan because it's gay, and a further 20% off the total of all transactions! that basically equates to a shitload of savings, quite elegantly put by yours truly. anyway, it was ridiculous. we had three registers fully banked up at multiple points during the day, going psycho trying to bag and process all the people. it's such a little store for the quantity of people that came through today, so it was a bit of a stretch.
and of course it doesn't help when you've got managers telling you not to discount anybody spending less than $10, or people who have christmas items, or anything of that nature when there's clearly no signage to illustrate such conditions. it further irritates me when there's no fucking prices on ANYTHING in the store, and i bear the brunt of the angry hoards of people wanting stickers. prices on stock is a basic consumer right, and it's filthy how lazy our organization is. nonetheless, it pays me. and it's the only thing willing to do that, so i'm sticking with it for now.
mind you, i've been eighteen for almost a week now, and there's no pay raise in sight for me until a week from now at the earliest. as i said, slack. but i don't want to jeopardize my shitty little corner store job just yet. anyone know of any jobs going in townsville? gosh, you'd make my life easier. anyway.
man, it feels like i haven't been on my xbox in ages. it's been at least six days since i sat down and had a decent gaming sesh. i haven't had this much work in ages. also, i am depressed because the ENTIRE DAY, i reminded myself that i *needed* to buy milk and coffee after my shift. and it finally rolls around to 4:46, and i realise: my wallet isn't in my handbag. i left it at home. fuck. so i'm going to be screwed tomorrow morning without my waker-upperer. oh well. i might be able to run to coles and grab a redbull.
(why can't they understand our love?)
here's my ingenious plan: since my mother has an appointment tomorrow at 9:30 and my shift at work doesn't start until 10, i'm going to put my best sad face on and beg for another hour on top of my shift tomorrow. hey, an extra set of hands in the morning could fix four aisles of stock in that time, and make it look pretty after the tornado of customers today. plus i'll be in my uniform and everything, they've gotta let me in, right? ohh i hope so.
wow. my hand's bleeding. gross. alright well, it's like seventeen past eleven at night and i've got another early start tomorrow. i'm neutral about this. here's to tuesday; my day off, and potentially a day for my xbox. love<3

massively munchable miniatures!
ohai. it's me again. my copy of flash pro cs5 carked it on me, so i had to do a bunch of crap to get it working again. anyway. how are you? it's totally been, like, five days since we spoke last. it was my birthday yesterday. i'm eighteen now. gross. i wasn't as peer pressured as i thought i would be into going and pointlessly drinking myself to death on the night, which was eloquently refreshing! at all stages of my life (including this one), i've been afraid of mass amounts of alcohol. really, it creeps me out.
*shudders* oh but i got two visits (two!) from two good friends of mine yesterday afternoon, after spending the first two thirds of the day sprawled out on the couch attempting to alleviate the pain and nausea trapped inside my gut for no apparent reason. i felt like i was gonna die. even now i don't know what it was, but it was painful. i scored $500 off two of my relatives, and now that there is money in my bank account, i'm scared to even hold a debit card in fear of spending it just because i can.
in other news, i've actually got three shifts in a row. three full-day shifts in a row. and one three-hour shift that i worked on monday. dude, that's like.. more than 20 hours this week including five hours of sunday trading. i'm going to be a flipping millionaire by december! how exciting!
so i had dylan over my house for my birthday, after we went out for dinner at jupiters (my family and i), and it got to 4am after getting through the halo odst campaign on heroic..
>if nerdy
(don't judge me, i just haven't been bothered to attempt it yet)
>if not nerdy
(don't judge me, it was my goddamn birthday okay!)
..that both of us realised how hungry we both were. i was thinking to myself, what is there in this house that i can consume to fill this void in my stomach? and it hit me like something that should be a lie. can you guess? ;)
OM NOM NOM NOM. black forest cake with my name on it tided us over until i eventually just collapsed asleep, only to be woken up by my alarm clock merely hours later to go to work. there's a nice lady who comes into crazy clarks sometimes, i gave her a 20% discount card for sunday because i like nice people. finished my shift at 5:30 feeling like death on legs, ran to coles and rationed my $3.60 between a family pack of alfredo and a single-serve pack of alfredo, ran to my car, went home, internets'd. and that was my friday.

facebook pictures.
so i got really bored, and started thinking to myself.. since my day has been crappy, boring and uneventful to the absolute maximum, i'm going to browse facebook and draw the first thing i think of when i look at peoples' status updates.
don't ask why i drew internal organs; obviously i'm shit and can't distinguish between the immune system and the lungs.
sander cohen? IN MY FACEBOOKS?!
more common than you think.
i.. don't..even
"BUUUURK! DID YOU OPEN THAT TRAP DOOR?!" "no your ugliness! 'e woke up on the wrong side o' the bed didn' 'e?!"
..everything else is just people bitching about how their day sucked today, so i cbf. ciao blog!
