irritating people

everyone has been irritating me to a much higher degree today than they usually do. my roommate is upset that we threw out her rediculously ugly chair while she was away. we all hated it except her. irritating. everyone on the MAX on my way home today was really loud and self-absorbed. irritating. we had a shower tonight for someone who used to live here and there were a bunch of girls here that i don't know. irritating. aaaaahhhh! i need to be alone and away from irritating people for just one day!

introvert

today was my day off, and i was looking forward to having the house to myself, as i usually do on fridays. but our new roommate had her family and what seemed like half the neighborhood over and going in and out all day long. i just wanted to scream and kick them all out. but i didn't.

coolness

we just came back from last thursday, and boy do i feel completely un-cool. i don't have enough visible tattoos or wear weird enough clothes to feel like i belong at stuff like that. i come away from gatherings of that sort and just feel so plain and homely. sigh.

ironing and the goonies

not ironing the goonies. watched the goonies while i did my ironing. i usually like to iron, but it was too freaking hot. i felt like i was working in a sweatshop or something. at least i had the goonies to help me feel better. goonies never say die!

snot

this morning i had a student coughing and blowing snot all over the desk and me. i was completely grossed out. he was special-ed, so he didn't really realize that what he was doing was totally gross. even though, it was so disgusting.

hypocrite

sometimes i feel like a huge jerk when i make kids do worksheets and lessons on things like compound predicates and dangling participles. i don't give a crap about those things, so why should i try and make them care?

Arrrrrr

there are seven betta fish at my weekend job. they have been without names for almost a month now. so today i named them all. after pirates.

second degree burns

today at work a little girl burned the top of her hand with a hot glue gun. i felt horrible. but i have been wondering from the first day whether it was a good idea to let children use tools that could possibly maim them.

mobiles

spent the morning making mobiles and listening to 'the wall' on my roommate's fisher price record player. its about a thousand degrees here today. i moved here from california to get away from the heat. shoot.

laundry

i dried my sheets out on the line today and when i brought them in to fold, the smell overwhelmed me with bitter-sweet memories. the human sense of smell will always astound me.
