Related to my last post:
Be ready for a potential desperate phone call from me in the future, Edman.
I’m hoping it doesn’t happen.
But just in case.
You’re the one I’m going to call.
Be prepared.

IN LESS GOOD NEWS
My car would not start when I tried to leave work today, and I had to get a jump.
Thankfully when I went to see my mom in Kingsport, we decided I needed jumper cables. I WAS PREPARED.
Also, for some reason apparently one of my coworkers thought I was married? Maybe because I wear a ring on the traditional wedding finger, I guess? Either way, he told me MAYBE MY HUSBAND SHOULD TAKE THE CAR IN...
I don't know exactly what the name game is and I...
But I want to play.

Contrary to my expectations...
Working alone has been awesome tonight, minus one really creepy drunk guy who tried to demand that I personally look something up for him (which we’re not allowed to do, and I’d already directed him twice to the customer service desk). I gave him a flat no and walked away, but it left me feeling icky. At least it didn’t come to me fetching a manager. (There’s a societal...

I am working my entire shift alone, stranded in the abyss in the middle of the store with no company or backup.
The only thing worse than that would be working my entire shift with just me and my manager.
So I suppose I should be thankful that’s not the case at least.

There's a Libertarian in my Social Justice class.
AND HE IS NO RON SWANSON.
He says things like “people who lack wealth do so because they have made poor choices” (except with subpar spelling and grammar that I couldn’t bring myself to recreate here).

But I don’t know why or what I’m expecting to change.
I just feel inexplicably like a shift is about to occur.

I'VE BEEN SUMMONED FOR JURY DUTY.
Which, I mean, yay political process and the contribution of citizens thereof.
But boo for those of us who work hourly jobs and will be costed wages for those days.
Because $12.00/day is not enough to cover what I would be making if I happened to work those days.
It’s not until early January, though, so we’ll see. They may not need me when the time comes around, or I may not have...

Also, I can't sleep.
Which is really really bad.
I need sleep.
I think I had too much tea today.

But then I need to write a lot more.
Even though I’ve class tomorrow and should maybe get some sleep. I’m going to get to 30,000 words tonight if it kills me.

Things I love about Better World Books:
Buying used books is better for my wallet and the environment!
I know that every time I buy a book from BWB, my purchase is going toward a good cause! They donate a book to someone in need every time you buy a book from them. YAY LITERACY!
They give me the option to carbon neutralize my shipping! It’s really cheap! And really easy!
Free shipping! No matter what you get!

I'm doing 20/10s to finish my NaNo novel.
It’s amazing how much writing you can get done in 20 minutes if you know you’re spending those minutes dedicated to Getting Stuff Done.
Thanks Unfuck Your Habitat!

Taking a break from writing for a sec to talk...
Whilst I was at the height of my illness (in the I-can’t-do-anything-except-lay-in-bed stage), I decided it would be a good time to go through all the Vlogbrother videos in order, starting with Brotherhood 2.0.
For the unfamiliar, Brotherhood 2.0 is a project that John and Hank Green did in 2007. They spent the entire year without textual communication. One of the rules for Brotherhood...

I had a REALLY GOOD idea for my story right before...
And I didn’t write it down and now I don’t remember it.
In any case, I have just emerged from hibernation, so I am going to eat breakfast while reading a little bit and then I’m going to sit at my desk and write. I was going to try to go to the laundromat today and get some other chores done, but I’m sick and it’s raining. So instead I am going to write and...

I miss coffee. Coffee hasn’t been playing nicely with my sore throat. It’s been THREE DAYS.
The lack of coffee may be why I’m coming unhinged.

thesarcasmstore replied to your post: My parents just left.
Awww… Hugs. We’ll go sometime this week for girly drinks and christmas ornaments. We can brave the asheville mall during the holidays to pick out some presents and reward ourselves with terrible food and some kind of girly drink, yes?
That would be wonderful.

My parents just left.
And while I haven’t really had a moment alone for the past five days and could really use some time to myself, it was great to have family here. When my sister left, my parents had just arrived, so that softened the absence a little. But now everyone is gone, and I’m not handling them leaving very well.
I forget when I’m away from them for so long what it feels like to have...

Personal stuff under the cut.
I miss not worrying about money.
I miss the days when every purchase didn’t make me seriously concerned about whether I would be able to pay my bills, to pay my rent, to buy food.
It’s been hard lately. I get some student loans, but they aren’t even close to enough to cover my bills. I work, but that doesn’t make up the difference. I have...

I lost a child to the Occupy movement.
stfuhypocrisy:
itsallgone:
Just thirteen days ago I was eight months pregnant.
Everyone loved rubbing my belly.
I even wore my “Baby On Board” shirt over my gigantic stomach.
I was in a small group, assembled away from the massive crowd.
All we did was stand arm in arm, chanting, cheering, and laughing.
A large group of officers approached. They were headed for the larger crowds.
We...
