The Cure : Rocks My Socks. Loved em since I was like 11 or 12!

I'm up earlier than usual! Reason, I woke up early to study for finals. You see how well that's going if I'm on vox. haha.

Not, much has been up lately. Tests, Tests, Tests, School.

So I decided not to update for sake of you being bored out of your skull.

Drama is starting to slowly leak back into my life. Its all about drugs lately. I HATE DRUGS. They affect everybody around the person that does them.

I'm fighting with one of my best friends because he SWORE to me that he wasn't doing drugs anymore. But as you can probably guess he is. I could about strangle him right now.

I won't stop being his friend of course. But,  I'm being "mean" and "overactive" about this whole situation.

Psssht. I don't think I am.

I just got back from a very chilly walk around my neighborhood. I got a few photos of the Christmas Lights here. I've never taken pictures at night before so the photos aren't fantastic. Plus, electronics get a little funky when they're cold so the camera started doing this spotty thing when I was trying to take pictures.

Hope you enjoy them!

Most of this week consisted of three things:

1. School-
    "I could have sworn my step dad called that in," or so I told the secretary yesterday. More P.E class problems led up to me missing a class, or essentially ditching. See what happened was, I ended up coming to school late. So I rushed to the girl's locker room thinking that we were swimming and quickly changed into my swimsuit. After all that rushing around I couldn't find my class (they weren't in the stupid pool). So I searched in the wrestling room, the gym, everywhere I could think of. To no avail. I finally gave up about 15 or 20 minutes into class and went to commons to hang out with Amanda (who doesn't have a first hour).  That all went down Thursday. On Friday I went to school only to find out that we aren't swimming in gym anymore, which would have been better news if I had known before that, because the only thing I had to wear for gym class was....my swimming suit. How f*cked up is that? Somebody is playing a cruel trick on me! Anyway, later Friday I got called down to see the Junior secretary and I totally bullshitted my self out of Saturday School. I told her that my step dad should have called the absence in and that if she couldn't find it I'd just have him recall it in. I guess she didn't want to do anymore work so she just decided to mark me excused without calling my parents. Wicked eh?

    I just found out that right after break we go into state testing (which takes forever). And then after those two weeks of torture we go into finals week because semester ends. Our school is so fucking retarted that they'd schedule those so close together. What the hell were they thinking?

2. Payday -

    So in the past two weeks I've worked 8 hours. So on minimum wage I made about $41-ish dollars before taxes. And I already had $8 in my account right......so on payday I had a total of $39.85. If you know Gamestop's payment system then you would know we get payed on these little ATM cards. And if you know ATM's you know that you can only get out mulitpuils of twenty dollars. So I was 15 cents short of getting fourty dollars, stuck with only $20, and there was a Starbucks & magazine stand ten feet away from me. I'm addicted to Starbucks and magazines, so threre went my paycheck.

New Rule for payday, stay 30 feet away from any of those two things.

Damn you Starbucks. Damn you and your addicting $5 coffee.


3. Wii -

Yeah, that's right. I got one. Its fucking AMAZING thanks for asking. I've been playing it almost constantly, although I'm not a complete addict yet. But, I'm sure when I get Twilight Princess people are going to want to kill me for never  answering my cellie (never mind the hygiene aspects of it). Snap. I'm going to be so gross when I get that but, thats kinda the down fall of the gamer eh? (hey, at least I admit it k.) I'm a wii-ner and I know it.

What are your superstitions? 
Submitted by lazywong.

I cannot watch sports. If I do the team I really want to win won't. For example, this summer in the World Cup I watched the Korea game and they lost. Then I watched the England game and they lost (and some dude in a forum called me a b*tch for cursing his team). After that I realized that I shouldn't watch if I want my team to win. So I refrained (quite painfully) from watching the world cup finale and Italy won! Yes!

So yeah, lets just say I haven't watched any Toronto Maple Leafs this hockey season. :)

Normally I would say no, but I've been thinking.

I really do care what people think about me.

Case in Point, my swimming class.

I am the only girl who wears a shirt and shorts over my bathing suit. The reason? I'm sure some of you would suspect my body weight being the issue but truly, I don't want people to think I'm a total slut. I mean, I don't want to run around in what equates to a bra and panties in front of my class. I'm pretty sure, in fact, that I am the only virgin in that class (if you could hear the stories). So I cover up.

If body weight were my issue, it'd be so much easier than saying, "I think bathing suits are skanky." to my class mates.

I see girls and boys today post bulletins on myspace that say, "I don't care what you think." But you know what? 9/10 they really do. They wouldn't be happy being ignored, bullied, teased, etc. etc. by people. Even I went a little crazy in Junior High when the kids started picking on me, I was depressed.

Today, I take what I believe people are thinking about me and use it as constructive criticism. "Shes probably thinking I'm wearing to much green." So I dress less like a leprechaun the next day. Or "Hes thinking I'm wearing to much make up." so I put away my Ronald McDonald makeup kit.

And then there are the times I truly, honestly don't give a flying f*ck what people think about me.  Times when I'm at the  Wal-Mart in the pad isle with friends screaming, "WE'RE BUYING PADS CAUSE ITS TOM!"

Those are the times I live for, with out caring what people think about you, you wouldn't feel the joy of what its like to be free like that. It's exactly like, "you can't feel the pleasure if you don't know the pain".

So toughen up. Take the negative comments and turn them into something good.

Show us your pets.

A game of wits and boredom!

How many?

Times I got asked about the Wii Today:
                                  15

Times I got asked about the PS3 Today:
                                  8

Pregnant Women:
                                  2 

Texts I got from my cousin asking to date my best friend:
                                  6

Times I had to listen to the same song because some punk kids put the Zune on repeat:
                                  25

Gross Sucker Sticks I had to pick up:
                                  2

Mental Breakdowns I had:
                                  0

    Amazingly, I made it through the entire night with out having a meltdown or killing people. I swear, If looks could kill those people asking about the Wii would just be bodies rotting in the the back room.

    One of my favourite costumers (if you can call them that) are the women with gamer boyfriends/husbands/fiances. They come in to the store with this angry look on their face and when I ask to help them they always tell me they're just trying to find their guy. Then after they're done being pestered by me (hey I'm just doing my job) they stomp off to their appropriate male and start acting like a bull in a matador ring. Stomp, blow out air angrily, stare, tilt head, and then attack, "HONEY I DON'T WANNA BE HERE. WEVE BEEN IN HERE FOREVER!" It never gets old because they always DRAG out their guys. Guess its good to be a girl huh?

I feel like somewhere on that list above it should say "Priceless". But, I ain't gonna do that to you, I'm gonna be original.

Me Being Original : Invaluable

Till we meet again,

Avocado

because I don't own a Wii.

    Seriously, its all I think about at night.

       I'm emo for Wii.

    Maybe I've caught a bit of nerditus by working at the video game store. I'm gonna go into work tomorrow and just collapse midway through my shift and have a meltdown. My boss, instead of being his usual jerk self, will come over to me and ask, "whats wrong? Do I need to call an ambulance?"

    And I'd just scream out, "I need a Wiibulance!" and start bawling with snot running down my face.

    His face would go a sickly pale and he'd scream, "GET ME AN AMBULANCE! CALL 911! I THINK SHES GOT NERDITUS!" Then the Federal Bureau of Nerd Protection and Prevention (FBNPP) would have to quarantine the mall and chaos would ensue. Anybody who was exposed would start having spasms for PS3s and Wiis.

    Finally they'd have to call in Bill Gates to settle the situation. Unfortunately, nobody wants an XBOX 360 these days so we would devour Bill Gates' head, because of course we've become zombies.

    So, my theory is that Japan is attacking the U.S. & Canada by not making enough PS3s and Wiis to satisfy our needs, and there by turning us into Bill Gates eating zombies.

    Hey, its just a theory I'm working on. Lightly graze on it if you must.

Happy Turkey Day (to you Americans) And Happy Thursday (to the Canadians!)

With Love,

Harajuku Avocado

What are you thankful for?

Its kind of a weird thing that happened today. I went through an entire Thanksgiving with out feeling out of place. My family was enjoyable, which is unusual for them. I could swear most days they worshiped the god of melodrama. But, today we just ate some turkey and called it good. Maybe watching Oprah calmed them down.

So today I'm thankful for my family
