Rant: What the fuck is it that impels old fat guys to hang around naked in the locker room? I know you're old and don't give a shit but show some common courtesy and put some fucking shorts or whatever on.
Rant: I had an appointment with a personal trainer tonight, and I knew getting from work to the gym in time for our scheduled meeting was going to be hard. So when I got dressed this morning, I threw on dress pants, a bright pink yoga shirt with a shelf bra built into it, a sports bra underneath, and a white button-down shirt over it all. I figured I could get to the gym, change pants, throw on a hoodie and be ready to go uber quick. What a dumb idea. The next time I decide to put in a nine hour shift wearing two sports bras, someone tell me to snap out of it. Ladies, ever been in a wedding party where you had to wear the corset style dress, and by the end of the night you hated the world and everything in it? That was me at around 3pm. Breathing is NOT highly overrated. And after all that, the asshole cancelled on me. ARG.
Holy Shit. Did you guys know there was porn on this tumblr thing? I think I can finally throw out my VCR!
Rant: All day long I've felt like I was on the verge of throwing up and I have no idea why. What the fuck.
Rant: Anyone disliked somebody immensely, but you could still tolerate them, be civil to them and have conversations with them/live with them, etc? Then just one little thing tips it over the edge and you would cheerfully do jail time for throttling the living shit out of that person? Yep, thats how I feel currently about my best friends girlfriend. =) I hate the money grubbing thing so much right now that if she wasn't pregnant, I'd cheerfully kick the living shit out of her with my fucking steel capped boots on. Pointless rant, yep, but was one of those much needed vents.
Rant: I just had this conversation at work about a girl that wears makeup to cover her acne scars and has daddy issues from across the street. Or at least I thought so, turns out my buddy was talking about a girl that has arm fat and four chins that reminds me of this comic: Rave: Subsequent taunting about said chubby chaser ended with the Girlfriend asking me who I was talking about boning so enthusiastically.
MEGA RAVE: The first lab session for my experiment is TODAY. I'm about to head over to see my advisor to get the lab set up for the subjects (side note: man do I love calling people "my subjects" or "my specimen"). THIS IS SO EXCITING. I'M LIKE A REAL LIFE SCIENTIST.
Rant: Inspiration, why are you such a fickle mistress? We were so happy together last week but since you left me Friday night I've gotten a whopping single paragraph written. My deadline's been moved up to this Friday and I still have about 12 pages of material I need to get completed. Won't you please come back to me?
Rant: I made a dumb rant last night out of anger, then edited it out since I wanted to sleep on it. Woke up this morning, was still pissed. I posted about having to have one of our dogs put to sleep, the circumstances that led to it and how devastating it was. Since we put him down, the brain-dead cunt that operates their Facebook page (yes, I realize how lame it is to be pissed over a Facebook page) has been posting shit about how my family abuses animals and are dog killers. I think it's retarded, but what gets me angry is how upset it made my parents. Our five dogs and their care are, without question, the biggest parts of their lives. She refuses to allow our account of the story to go up and would just consistently delete it (and then say we cut off all contact with them), but has since allowed some stuff to stay up (though it remains to be seen how long that will last). Oh well, I have my own aces up my sleeve. Game on, cunt. Rave: Hard to make a rave after that, but what can you do. A good friend of mine since childhood just asked me to be the best man in his wedding in Jamaica. Sweet.
Rave Enjoyed an off day by getting very, very stoned and watching bad horror movies on YouTube. I definetely checked out of reality today and it was pretty fucking awesome. Rave Made new texting friends with a couple attractive females. Good things are on the horizon.
Rave: Just kissed a gorgeous, cool, funny girl that I like quite a bit for the first time. Good end to a good first date. Rave: Gonna be seeing her again for the next few days. Rant: She's... moving to Afghanistan for a year in like a month. So I'm just setting myself up for failure. Rave: I think we can just enjoy ourselves until then.
RANT: Juvie probation is out with us on our little gang operation. Last night we were searching the room of a 14 year old girl and she needed to give a piss test for drugs. One of the POs found a packet of pills and as my supervisor was googling what it was, the girl says "Oh, that's the pill I take right before sex and it kills the sperm." I said "You mean the pill?" She replies, "No, this is instant, you don't need to take it every day." The pills turned out to be some kind of fungal killer. Her boyfriend (that's about to be picked up for stat rape, since he's 19) told her the pills were for killing sperm. I don't know what's sadder or more disturbing - the fact that she's sleeping around and she's only 14 or the ignorance about contraception. I weep for the future. RANT: We were searching for one of my gangbangers that has an active warrant in a bad area. An hour after we left someone was shot and killed in a gang related shooting. The victim isn't on my caseload but I'm now a bit nervous one of the 3 suspects is. And if he is, there will be hell to pay for me.
RANT: My dad died last week. He was only 70. He had heart valve replacement surgery and after a week of recovery he was scheduled to come home. On the morning we were supposed to bring him home, the hospital called and said his blood pressure had dropped and they were moving him back to ICU. We rushed up there but he was gone when we got there. He hadn't ever done anything spectacular in his life, but he was a good man and loved his family. A very surprising number of people came out for his funeral. I never realized how many people liked and respected him; he was just my dad to me, which is all I ever needed. The only thing he would ever say he wanted at his funeral was to have the Marine Corps hymn played. My mom resisted the idea a little bit, but I made damn sure it happened, and it was beautiful. Semper Fi, Marine.
Rave: I had a different Clinical Instructor today because mine was sick. She was awesome, and I loved her style. The difference between the two is like night and day. The regular one gives me the most pointlessly trivial feedback, and isn't the best at communicating. The one I had today asked me TONS of questions. She wanted to know the reason behind every decision I made and gave constructive criticism. I felt like I was actually being challenged and actively using logic and critical thinking to diagnose and treat. I know I'd learn so much more if I had this CI regularly. Boo.
Rave: Just got a $60 shirt from Banana Republic for $28 and free shipping. Rant: I realized a little while after I checked out that I had a $10 off discount too. Little victories, I guess.
RANT: I am sick. Fuck. RANT: I watched "Splice" last night, and the combination of how fucked up that movie is and my fever resulted in some crazy, bizarre dreams. Anyone seen this movie? It would have been perfect for the short plot summaries thread we had recently... Splice: Man and woman scientist couple create new human-ish organism by combining DNA from various animals. Man scientist has sex with it.
