On occasion I find myself needing to be incredibly,mind-numbingly EMO.
So so emo
Just because you get in that kind of mood where you can only reflect on all of the things that remind you
"I am a fucking looserface" BEWARE. THAR BE BOO-HOOINGI recently got a new job at Kohl's. It took me over a month just to get hired. I don't mean a month of lots of interviews and walks along the shore and sharing our deepest secrets over wine and a roaring fire. I mean that I turned in my application and filled out some legal shit then went home. Over a week later I was called back and told to go back home because I wasn't suppose to be there again. FUN FUN. Almost two weeks later I hear back that I am hired for their shoe department. K then.
I've been in training so long I could likely have gotten another job somewhere a little less wee-todd-did. Along with around 5 other newbies who all spoke about the utter swill it took them to get this job.
Today I was at a Kohl's in a different location and was talking to one of the cashiers as I was checking out, my mother asked her if she was full-time since I had been looking for a full-time job and was hoping to find one within one company so I wouldn't have to keep training from job to job. The cashier made a face and burst out laughing and shaking her head. She told me she went from 27 hours a week to A SINGLE MOFUCKIN' DAY and when I told her I was hired for a renovation she told me it was best I look for a new job NOW because this company is NOT going to be keeping me and by the sounds of it I won't be getting too many hours.
They haven't even asked me much about my availability so I mentioned I preferred certain hours but was told I probably wouldn't get much hours based on that. I can work anytime but have kept saying what times I prefer the whole time and no one really talks to me about it. Like at all. I don't even know when the next day I go in is, I just have to keep going in to the store to check the schedule book each week hoping that I am getting enough hours to not starve on.
I am starting to wish I agreed to be overnight, they get $1.25 more an hour and work a guaranteed 3 days a week. So at least I'd have that much guaranteed. Poot T__T
Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled I've got a job. It's not that I want to sit at home and do nothing my whole life.
After getting a whole buttload of new art stuffs for the Holidays I have promptly drawn JACK SHIT. I WANT to draw something, pick up the pencil and stare blankly at the paper drooling for a few hours before crawling under the covers and sobbing about the voices in my head. The voices tell me horrible things like "DRAW MOAR BEWBIES" and " INFLATION FANART GETS ON THE FRONT PAGE" so I tell that voice to shut up and we argue for a while about selling out and occasionally the nutritional value of Calpico. I want to do so much but I am not talented enough to do so.
There's nothing quite so shitty as feeling like a total and utter burden on your friends. Like you really have nothing to contribute to them or offer in exchange for their friendship and kindness. "Thanks" doesn't quite cut it.Coupled with the feeling of being trapped and dependent on someone with dubious intent there have been more days then not where the frustration and feeling of total uselessness drive me to repeatedly smash my head against a brick wall.
I am fairly sure I've pretty much lost a friend I've had since I was 13. Not that we fought or had some kind of falling out...just...Sometimes you just know when you wont be seeing someone again, like the awareness that things aren't ever going to be the same just sinks in and you come to a quiet and reserved understanding that this is how shits going to be now.Maybe that's just what happens when people get older, when they live far apart, when your lives are changing. I don't think I'll ever see Orlando again.
Also, I weighed about 10lbs less 5 months ago. The fuck? How did that happen..goddamn fucking food and your goodness. I am blaming food. All of it. Even carrots. FUCK YOU CARROTS.
<--soon to be my ass
NOT QUITE SO EMO I am not quite sure where I'd be without my friends. They are awesome and on more than one occasion have gone above and beyond for me in ways I wish I could return. In fact I might venture to assume they are the coolest people
ever, as in nothing your friends do is ever going to make them cooler then mine. NEVER. Damnnit I say NEVER. No matter how hard I try I can't seem to follow up with their level of awesome.
I started off this year alone in Dallas,Texas. I didn't know anyone and didn't much care too really.I moved back home to Oak Park, Michigan... Then all of a sudden I woke up and I am surrounded by people I care about. Like I've gone to sleep and woken up an entirely different Emily, and I like myself more as I am now. I can't imagine myself or my life any other way.
Read this it's words I said about this boy n' shit-->
www.cosplay.com/showpost.php?p… Yeah. I admit it. I met a
boy, those silly things that are tall and manly and occasionally make onigiri. I met him through a friend at Youmacon, he makes good arts and wants me to make good arts too. Sometimes his confidence in me seems...misplaced. Sometimes I feel like I have to try harder just for fear of letting him and that confidence in me down. There's so much he does for me that I am not entirely sure I'll ever be able to repay him, even with all the bacon in the world.
Where would I get that much bacon? Because I wanna know, not for him..for me...I want some. Some bacon that is.
So all in all 2010 had a lot of crap, a whole BP spill of it.A big stinky spill of crap.
But somehow I think this is the best year I've ever had. Regardless of my own insecurities and shortcomings. This was the first year in my entire life I was surrounded by a whole BUNCH of people I love, and who love me back.
And bacon. I've had a lot of bacon this year.
