Approx. September 22nd-25th, 2009

So yeah, as the title says, it's been a weird couple of days. I suppose I should start off here taking care of something.. Was 'tagged' a while back by *Panda-pon, which apparently means I need to note down 8 things about myself. The details of this assignment were rather vague, so I'll just go with it.
Let's see..

1) I have been feeling more and more lately a stupid sort of affinity for dragons. Oh, mythical creatures. I am considering (perhaps foolishly) eventually getting a tattoo. Of course, as prerequisites, my job hunt will need to be more successful, I will need to find a reputable tatto parlor with a good portfolio of finished work, and I will need to find someone who is able and willing to draw an original image for me, that I will be satisfied with, myself.
2) I can cook. Pretty decently, too, I find. And I'm not just talking about Kraft Dinner.. I've made Chicken Kiev, candied yams, cheese and potato soup, Pork Chops Pizzaiola, Black Cherry Pork Tenderloin, Rissoto... They all turned out really well, too.
3) Hm.. Speaking of food, I love spicy food. I'm the type, when given a choice at a restaurant, to order my meal with 5/5 spiciness. I find that I enjoy spicy food more, because it sort of forces you to pay attention, instead of finishing your meal without really paying attention to what it tasted like, which happens sometimes.
4) I have a pet dwarf rabbit. His name is Spike. His fur is black, except for his front right paw, which is white. He can be very cute, but he can also be pretty annoying at times.. Right now his cage is a bit stinky. I should clean it..
5) Elgh, only halfway done? Hm. I like to read. A great deal. Generally I stick to the sort of swords & sorcery genre. Hate naming favorite books, have a few favorite authors.. David Eddings, Raymond E. Feist, Terry Pratchett, Tad Williams.. Well, that's a few, there are others.
6) I cannot abide stupid people, nor can I find them attractive. I don't mean uneducated people, or those without huge vocabularies, just.. some people are idiots, and it pisses me off.
7) I don't believe in 7.
8) I am going to finish typing this journal thing, clean my rabbits cage, shave, and have a shower. I am also not going to bother tagging anyone else for this.

SO ANYWAYS.

Tuesday.. What happened on tuesday? Don't remember most of the day, had a grilled cheese as a small dinner, was going to be eating later anyways. I went to a dance practice, got sacked by Astrid (that hurt for like a day), went to Bozzini's after dance, ordered a half-rack of BBQ ribs with a salad. It was tasty, but I was still a little hungry afterwards. Then I drove Rayne home, and headed back to my parents place (they should be back tomorrow, maybe?). Slept fitfully.
Wednesday.. Spent most of the day lazing around, grabbed a $5 pizza from Little Caesars for dinner, watched some Mission Hill on the computer with my lady while eating (that show was hilarious, shame it was cancelled.) Headed to play practice. Play practice was.. interesting. Everything was going fine, then maybe halfway through (around maybe.. 8:00? It was dark out), this guy just comes into the building we're practicing in, off the street. He's maybe.. 18-21? Native, wearing his cap at a stupid angle (Yes, some angles are stupid, just inherently.) He comes in, we all stop, look at him. The place we were in was basically one room, with a bathroom in the back. It was our practice space, and there was no reason for this guy to be there. Anyways, he comes in, we stop, look at him, he puts his bag down, takes out his earphones, looks at us.
Him "What're you guys doin? Workin out?"
Us "No.. no, we're practicing for a play."
Him "Oh, can I join?"
Us "Uh.. no."
Him "Oh, I get it. It's probably because I'm ugly and I can't read good, right?"
Director "No, actually we're fully cast at this point."
Him "No, I get it, I get it. It's cause I'm ugly and I can't read good."
He takes off his hat, turns it around, looks at it. It's got, like, "LA" on it or something, that's it.
Him "Like.. what does that say? I dunno."

So.. we start trying to get this guy to leave, he just.. won't. He keeps talking about random things, like how he wants to work out with us, or how he'll tell his friends about this later, and they'll all laugh. Through all this, we're all (there were at least 10 of us) just standing there, looking at the guy, asking him to leave in various ways. Every now and then he mentions how he's ugly and can't read good. At one point he starts to pick up his bag, says he's gonna go, then stops, and asks Elizabeth for her name. She looks a little like a deer in headlights. The rest of us continue to insist that he goes, she's not gonna give him her name. He asks if we're calling him names, we say no, he should just go now, we were just saying goodbye. Eventually he leaves.
Good lord.

We finish our practice, a little shakily. Go out into the parking lot in groups. Whilst in the parking lot (not long) one crazy lady walks by screaming about how she 'doesn't have an inside voice, bitch', or something like that.. 3 other crackheads circle us for a bit, talking about us to themselves.. and something else, but I don't remember what.
Luckily, violence did not need to be resorted to, but it felt a little close.
I'm glad we had a bunch of guys there.. I'm sure the ladies can handle themselves, but it seemed like the presence of the guys there prevented it from turning into a situation where anyone needed to be able to handle themselves.. maybe we need a new practice site.
Anyways. Headed back to parents place from there.

Thursday, Andrea went to school, then gave me a call once she got there, saying that she was feeling pretty sick, and was going to come back. She arrived eventually, we napped for a bit, hung around the house, went out and got some pannini's and drinks from Booster Juice, and rented a couple discs of Heroes Season 3. Came back here, tossed together a salad, ate, watched some Heroes. Still a little hungry, chopped up some bacon, fried it, cooked a can of beans, tossed the bacon in. It sounds pretty bad, but it was tasty. = P Went to bed.

Friday, slept in, had some Chicken Noodle soup for brunch, did the usual feeding/taking care of animals, watched a few more episodes of Heroes, Andrea headed off to work, started this journal thingy. Going to do some writing for a couple of RPGs.

Yeah! That's a summary of the last few days, at least. I'm sure I'm leaving out plenty of details.

Yep.
