Life and times of a Harlequin

Ponderings

So last week RAWKED! The Dells was fun, going out here in Madison was fun...not being a college kid, for once, was fun!

But it did bring about a lot of thinking on my part.... I hate the UW. I like madison... a lot, actually. But the UW isn't what I thought it would be. And I'm sick of being there. Like, seriously sick. But I also want a degree. I know my manager doesn't have one and it's not required for getting a job...but I don't want to give up on the degree. But who says that the way to get the degree has to stay the same?

I'm thinking of transferring to MATC to get an Associates in Business Management. Basically the same thing I am going for now, but without all the bullshit. The classes'll be easier, I'll be done in the same amount of time, it'll be cheaper...and I won't feel so overwhelmed all the time like I do now.

My mom wants to pray about it, which is fine. I need to talk to someone over there to see how things'll transfer, like credits and such, and about financial aid. I still NEED aid...lol

On a side note, I believe in reincarnation I've decided. As well as paranormal things, like Aliens and psychics. I don't know why all of a sudden...but it all makes so much sense now. :-)

So HUGE blow up with Ali tonight after Victoria and I got back from RaeChel's birthday shenanigans, mostly due to Victoria and I's drunken states....(sigh) Will things be better? Well, I guess we'll see....I'm saying if things don't improve this time, well, I give up. I don't know what else to do...if me ranting in a drunken stupor doesn't help...what will?

More details tomorrow when I'm awake and sober...which I'm neither.

Oh...and books were almost $400. Go to hell UW bookstore. Fucking cunts.

End of the year...

So I haven't really posted much lately, mostly because the last time I had this thing, I vented on it and bad shit happened.... but I guess I feel like venting some more.

School sucks. I'm not majoring in what I want to do with my life...because the school of music are a bunch of elitist pricks with their dicks (or clitorises...whichever) shoved so far up their asses they can't recognize anyone as having talent unless they sound like a 40 y/o opera singer.

ALL I WANT IS TO TEACH MUSIC!

Why should I have to audition and be under the same requirements as someone who wants to perform?

*sigh*

So I'm an english major who is probably going to go to Grad School somewhere for Music Ed. Yes, it's possible. I checked. But does that make any sense? NO! I mean, come one...Why should I have to apply for the UW and the apply for another school to do what I want? I'm just as qualified as any of those people doing juries today...if not more so.

But anyway...things are going good overall. I'm seeing a boy, named Travis. No, no one has met him yet...and Victoria has first dibs, it would seem....so don't get pissy. I'm not even sure what we ARE yet....but I think I'll find that out tonight...cause the suspense is KILLING me! I got a new phone while my other one, which decided to totally fritz out and die, is shipped off to Phone fixing land...FOR 10-12 WEEKS! Come on people....

I got promoted at work...woo. More hours and more pay and more work....and more people who hate me, apparently. But who knows? I mean, I'm just doing my job...can't help it I'm better then them. haha

There's only one downside in my social life that sucks and, unfortunately, I can't go into it on here. A: because I'd be a hypocrite airing my dirty laundry on here like that and B: well...this isn't the most private of places.

But in other news, I have a theory on who stole my PSP months ago. And boy, does it it keep getting better and better...haha...

I'm a bad man...:-(

So I'm a terrible person...

I was getting the garbage together so I could take it all out this morning before I left for work....good plan, you may say. Nothing terrible there, Seth. No, there isn't. BUT.....

So Victoria has this gingerbread house, something she has done since birth, apparently. And in my family, we don't have these traditions...cause we're lame baptists. So I commented on this and Victoria brought back with her a put together but undecorated clock tower to go along with the house. Yeahs for me and heaven be praised!

The problem is, we hadn't had any time to actually decorate it...so it sat, alone and unfinished on the table. So while I was getting garbage together, I decided to move the clock tower next to the house so it wouldn't get hurt or dirty or anything. I picked it up and noticed one of the sides was coming apart from the rest of the tower and I pushed it back into place...

and then the entire thing broke apart!!!!

So.....I'm crying and feeling terrible...and Victoria's not HERE to help me...so I clean it up and put all the pieces together.... most of them are still in tact...except for one of the roof pieces and one of the walls...but they snapped in such a way that they can still be put back together...I hope...

BUT STILL!.....What a terrible person I am....

sigh

*sigh* So yesterday was a pretty much perfect day.....*sigh*

And yet...nothing will ever come of it. And that makes me really sad.

More elaborations to come...
