And after rising from the dead...

Hey, I'm not dead, believe or not. I've just been... Well, I haven't really been doing anything so I have no real excuse for the shitty posting schedule I have not been maintaining.

Soooo... point form! (everyone saw that one coming)

-The job I mentioned a few posts back turned out to be in the purchasing department at the company where my dad has worked for the past 20-odd years. It's pretty fun, I guess, it's work. And I'm getting paid 14$ an hour, 22$ while I'm taking over for my boss while she's on vacation. My job mostly consists of filing things, recording things and asking for invoices. It's pretty laid-back, so I don't have too much to complain about.

-What I do have to complain about, however, is that almost everyone is asking me when I'm getting a car. They think that, since I have a well-paying job, I'm going to go right out and buy myself a car. Well, no. First of all, I don't need a car, I don't go anywhere. I get a carpool to work and I take a bus to school, so I have no real need of a car. Besides, my parents let me borrow the van when I want (which isn't often anyway). Second of all, I only have a summer job, so when I go back to school the job is over and my income is gone. If I get a car, I'll have to pay for payments and gas and insurance, and that will drain my account pretty damn fast. Especially since I still have to pay for all my college junk and whatnot. And I'm sure that the people who keep asking me about buying a car aren't going to help me pay for it. 'Tis very frustrating.

-A while ago, we had family visiting from Toronto, my mom's cousin and his two boys (aged 11 and 7). They stayed for about a week and a half and I was so happy when they left. Really. My mom's cousin is an annoying douche and his kids aren't much better. The oldest is a pain in the ass who's just generally annoying, like the usual annoying kid multiplied by 3. The youngest isn't too bad, he actually didn't annoy me much at all. Their father was the worst, holy fuck. I have this thing where I smile for anything, it's an involuntary reaction which I have no control over and I hate. Well, he seemed to think I was laughing and proceeded to call me Smiley and annoy the fuck out of me the whole time he was down. I don't like it when people annoy me just to get a rise out of me, and I especially don't like it when people stare at me for no reason. It's quite creepy.

-On a lighter note, I recently went to a yardsale and bought a case of pogs for 3$, because pogs. I haven't seen pogs since I had some when I was a kid. I have no reason to have them, and I have no idea how to play the game, but I own pogs now, just because. I mean pogs! In 2010! Nostalgia much?

-Recently I have been unofficially diagnosed with CAH (congenital adrenal hyperplasia) that I've apparently had since birth. From what I understand, my adrenal gland is producing too much male hormones. It actually doesn't bother me too much, but probably only because I don't have all the information, and I don't know what to think about it. If I've been like this for my whole life, then it must be fine because I didn't notice much out of the ordinary. I was never really like other girls, but nothing much noticeable. I dunno, I don't know enough to have a real opinion about this.

-And, last thing, my manga collection has grown to 82 books. I am very proud of myself and am enjoying being able to physically have the manga in my hands to read. It's better than reading it on the computer, more convenient. Ordering from the Chapters website has made it easier for me to collect manga because it's all right there and it's delivered to my house. This is great because the nearest bookstore is like an hour or so away from where I live.
