kimi_chan	5:42p	Handiwork! ( Luke's new leather armour ) Worked out better than I hoped considering the time restraints and the fact that I was keeping it a secret from Luke. The best part is that it can be added to! (11 Comments |Comment on this)

kimi_chan	1:07p	How to lose my business forever in less than a minute. I'm trying to get my hands on a copy of a very elusive book for my thesis. It's the most highly referenced source for my topic so it's kind of essential. I have found a couple of places that sell it online but I thought I'd ring around a few secondhand places in the city to see if I could get it cheaper and faster. Place 1: Me: Hi, I'm after a book called The Architecture of Petra, by Judith McKenzie. I was wondering if you had a copy in stock. Woman: Is that Italy? Me: What? Woman: Is that Italy? Me: I'm...umm... Woman: The Architecture of what? Me: Petra Woman: How do you spell that? Me: (dying a little inside) P.E.T.R.A Woman: Is that Itlay? Me: What? (inflected now) Woman: Is it printed in Italy? Me: Oh! No, London I think. Woman: The book looks Italian. Me: I'm pretty sure it's not. Woman: Are you an architecture student? Me: Suuure. (I give up....) Woman: Your tutor will be able to tell you where to get it. Thankyou. Me: (gritting my already worn teeth) Okay, thankyou. Goodbye. (smashing my head into my desk) Place 2: Me: (Same intro as above) Man: Is that by Judith McKenzie? Me: Yes. Man: We can order it from the USA. Me: Okay, how long does it usually take to get them in and how much will it be? Man: A week and a half. Me: Okay, how much might that be? Man: Well the cheapest copy is $80, it's in bad condition but that's all you'd be after, and it looks big so postage would be $25, then we charge a 15% finders fee. So about $120. Me: Okay, I'll get back to you. Good bye. (smashing head into desk) Online I can get this book brand new for $65 with $11 postage. Sure it'll take maybe three weeks to get here but I can probably get express postage for another $10 at most. Why would he assume I'd be fine with a "bad condition" copy? Why? For all he knew I was the fucking queen of India. Damn my childish sounding voice! Although it does come in handy when telemarketers ring and ask for my parents...But still! Not helpful in any useful situation! What dicks. (I had one of those really frustrating dreams last night where you never end up doing anything and it drags on for hours. So I was already annoyed. But for reals, guys...How do you spell Petra? How do you even function in everyday life? ) I hope no one says the wrong thing tonight...I'm in the mood to bite some heads.

mercenarytoast	10:39a	My apartment smells like death. After four floods I'm sure the carpet is harboring enough mold and bacteria to become a sentient life form. We have about five or six industrial floor fans scattered around the house at the moment, so not only does it smell, but it's loud as fuck. Last night I turned off the one in my room so I could sleep, and after about twenty minutes, it started up on its own. So not only does our apartment smell and is loud as fuck, but it's haunted, too.  I don't work tomorrow. Would anyone like to go out tonight, maybe have a cup of coffee or thirty-seven beers? Perhaps a pony ride or a trip to the moon?  ------------------------------- I found out that Slipknot has a new album coming out. While being interested in nine guys wearing masks and jumpsuits playing really bad metal is not befitting a 26-year old, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little curious. Now if only Skyclad would release a new album I'd be, like, totally ecstatic. But they won't, just like all my other favorite bands.  I need a haircut, but I am entirely too lazy to get one. I should grow my beard out as well so it's long enough to stroke with a wild look in my eyes. Current Music: Hantaoma - Malombra (6 Comments |Comment on this)

mercenarytoast	6:53p	Signed a lease today. It's a nice sized one bedroom, one bathroom townhome in a small wooded area within walking distance of my current shithole. Has a big back deck, a front porch, washer/dryer, and a large kitchen and living room. Bonus: it's only $600 a month. Should be fun. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

mercenarytoast	9:45p	Well fuck. I didn't pass my reading knowledge exam in German. I guess it would have helped if I took it, huh? I DID, however, take the French one. Totally passed it, too. With no knowledge of French and just a dictionary. Suck on THAT! Current Music: The Afghan Whigs - My World Is Empty Without You , I Hear a Symphony (live).flac (1 Comment |Comment on this)

mercenarytoast	9:02p	Love it or shove it. I still can't find an apartment. Well, that's a lie. I've found a ton of apartments, none of which I can afford. I guess the correct thing to say would be I can't find a roommate. I suppose I could just live with some random, or sublease a really shitty place, but that's the responisble thing to do, and why would I do that? I've decided that if I can't find anyone to live with or a relatively decent and affordable one bedroom apartment by July 20th, I'm just going to sign at Tanglewood, a medium-sized apartment complex off of Old Bainbridge that harbors a bevy of lovely amenities, including but not limited to a washer and dryer, a lovely pool area, a 24-hour gym, and a fucking balcony. Yeah, bitch, a balcony. You know you like it. Last night I went to the Leon Pub again, which I enjoyed. Then I went to Whataburger, which I also enjoyed. Then I went to a friend's house, which I did not enjoy, as it is where the beer and the Whataburger finally became acquainted. They did not like each other, and I see no hope of a friendship between the two. If only they could get past their differences. The two might see each other again next Sunday, but it's way too early to tell. I think they just need some time apart. I'm going to leave you with something a friend said about me in their Live Journal, broken up and conveyed in a manner that doesn't take into account any sense of the context in which it was composed. This friend is fucking amazing. He is seriously one of the best guy’s I’ve ever met. He’s extremely attractive, he’s smart, he has a great personality, he’s fun to be around, he’s polite, and the list goes on. He’s fucking awesome and I love him. I’m glad he was around, especially tonight. He makes me feel better, even when he doesn’t realize it. He makes me laugh and smile when I need it the most and I love him for that. Yes, that's right. I'm fucking amazing. Go me. Current Music: Ironhorse - A Different City (1 Comment |Comment on this)
mercenarytoast	12:23p	The creepiest thing just happened. I was laying down in bed, drifting in an out of consciousness, when all of a sudden there was a ringing in my ears. It started getting progressively louder, so I started to get up. I couldn't move. Like, at all. Suddenly, there was a loud pop, and after about four or five seconds, I was able to move again. Seriously. Scariest thing ever. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

mercenarytoast	11:35a	Abort! Abort! Dating Secret Exposed: Why Nice Guys Finish Last I have several issues with this article. First and foremost, this is nothing new. Millions of these things are written on a daily basis by women who think they have some sort of grasp on the concept of dating and love, when in reality they're just bitter cunts. Second, dating and everything that comes with it can't be summed up in a neat little article about why women love assholes. What these articles are actually doing is encouraging men to be pieces of shit all for the opportunity at getting a piece of ass. Third, these articles make assumptions about "nice guys." My favorite is the line, "First, 'nice' equates with boring and predictable." And 'asshole' equates with rock climbing and spontaneity? Who writes this shit? This woman: That's right. We're getting relationship advice from a fucking ALIEN. Current Music: The Unseen Guest - Ancient Greek (1 Comment |Comment on this)
