Holy s***, I'm 27

About twenty-seven years and sixteen minutes ago (as of right now), I first graced this planet with my glorious presence. My family rejoiced and showered me with love and attention. Whenever it ended up on Thanksgiving, it was like having a large feast in my honor (lulz).

I had the monopoly until my sister came along. It was a good run. /sarcasm

And what am I doing today? I'm heading to work! Such is life, as it should be... I guess. At least I don't work Black Friday (though it's never bad at B&N anyway?) My birthday hasn't and will never be a holiday (until 2015 when my birthday and Thanksgiving collide again!)

And a happy birthday to my fellow birthday buddies: Tina Turner and John McVie! It's fun until it ends up on Thanksgiving, right?

What do I have to say for being on Earth for this long? Some memes, that's what!

And when in doubt, always look at pictures of tiny houses and remember that I live in a world where I learned from personal experience that Vienna Teng is a good hugger.

Here's to ice cream cake and good times. Let's triple the years, self. Live to be 100 and eff the typical lifespan of your family tree!

*drinks water, 'cause she's too broke for beer and it's too early for that, duh*

*memes do not belong to me*

Small update on life and stuff and whatever... *snoozes*

So here I go again, writing things on this here blog and whatever. You want to know what the eff I've been up to? Sure, here ya go:

• My birthday is this Tuesday. I have no plans other than ice cream cake and surviving a morning shift at my job.

• I applied for grad school for the second time. I got everything done in less than a week. The story, I feel, is my strongest yet. I have a better advantage this time; two sets of eyeballs looked at it (a friend and my mom).

• My job search has been halted for now. I'm taking a different approach: temp jobs. More on that as it goes on.

• Yes, the job search was going that bad. I've placed twenty-six applications out there and only got one interview. Those are terrible odds.

• I actually have Thanksgiving plans! My parents invited me up to the state park they're at for a late lunch all the park employees are doing. I'm bringing a cheesecake. :D

• No Black Friday shift for me. Then again, at B&N, it's pretty underwhelming. But that doesn't hold for the rest of the retailers. Seriously, opening on Thanksgiving night, who the eff thought that was genius? No, you poor wretched retail peons, you can't have a blessed Thanksgiving! (/sarcasm) And whoever came up with it, can I please kick them hard in their happy places*?

So there ya go. You happy? You want more? Help me get a life first.

*Happy places = genitals

P.S.: Seriously, I'm not this grouchy. 

I love it when...

my favorite artists spoil me with new albums. I wasn't expecting it, but Nicole Atkins, Warpaint, Dum Dum Girls, and Broken Bells are coming out with new records next year! And all within two months! Yeaaaaa!

I pledged money to Atkins' project and will be getting a vinyl copy of Slow Phaser. I also preordered vinyl copies of Warpaint and Too True (Dum Dum Girls' new album). I'm waiting on pins and needles to get a chance to preorder After the Disco (Broken Bells' new album).

God, it makes me feel like a spoiled child getting the toys she wanted for Christmas.

Here's what we get to look forward to!
