| So last week I went to Gu and Alec's poker night.
Yes, I completely embarrassed myself.
I didn't understand Texas Hold 'Em, only Alec and Gu's dad were willing to help me out, and I got super drunk (courtesy of Gu). So essentially I got "vetoed" from their game.
I don't want to sound bitter but I am. I'm really upset that I drank so much. I'm upset that Gu kept encouraging me to drink. I'm upset that there was a real dick at the game and I'm upset that I allowed myself to be intimidated by him.
So pretty much I'm feeling really foolish and stupid. So now Gu and Alec are out having fun losing/winning money and I'm stuck at home trying to learn how to play.
Fortunately Gu said his dad said I should come back and watch to learn. So maybe someday in the future I'll be able to go back, not suck, not get drunk, and win a shitload of money.
And smack the shit out of the really rude guy who shall remain nameless and I will hate forever.
Unless he gives me a second chance, then I'll reciprocate.
Ugh...this blows.
I need a drink.

| Good news. My boss said I could wear my lip ring!
Bad news: After taking ring in and out twice it's fucked up and I have to get a new one!

| The Avatar series finale was absolutely amazing. Of course there are always those in the fandom *coughcoughANGIEcoughhack* that will complain but hey, I'm more satisfied than I was when Deathly Hallows came out. And that was 9 years in the making.
And there's good news. I got a job!
And there's bad news. They want me to take my lip ring out.
I thought it wouldn't be a problem considering it's a "socially conscious" pet store in Takoma Park run by lesbian partners. Apparently one of them has a personal vendetta against facial piercings. I was told a story about her niece's tongue ring and realized there would be trouble.
So I made some retainers out of fishing line, it's cheap, can be sterilized, and they actually work better than retainers I bought before. The only problem is taking my ring out with pliers (because I don't have jewelry openers), taking the ring out, putting the retainer in, taking the retainer out, putting the ring back in, and closing the ring with pliers. It makes for some serious mouth trauma and after 1.5 days I'm already pissed off about it.
I'm hoping they'll just come to their senses and just let me leave it in. I've had it for two years. It's a fucking toddler for god's sake!
*le sigh*
Time to go pet doggies.

| Having no job really puts a damper on ones general activity and I'm determined to combat this buy getting off my ass again.
When people call and ask if I want to go out I actually say yes rather than telling them that they've interrupted my nap. I'm drinking shitloads of water. I've almost figured out how to wake myself up from scary dreams.
In the morning I'm going to go walking and then play DDR. I'm going to see Hancock in the afternoon because Gu has a giant gay crush on Will Smith (as do I but in ya know...straight crush form.) I finally bought the second Pendragon book.
I've also started watching Metalocalypse. It's great stuff.

| I love Jim Webb. Like, seriously.
He's a Vietnam vet, believes in supporting the troups, founded the new GI bill, hates President Bush, and seems all around freakin awesome. He was just on the Daily Show and I can say without a doubt, that if he ran with Obama for vice president I would be forced to vote for them.
I  Jim Webb.
