this is confusion am i confusing you?

Kinda mad right now. I went digging through my drawings/artwork from architecture school (I'm looking for "cool" stuff to hang in my living room) and I discovered that one of my favorite drawings got destroyed. Because of these stupid piece of shit windows...moisture seeped onto the drawing and discolored it. It would've been so cool framed, too! It was a technical drawing (meaning I used protracters and straight edge and templates, etc. to draw it) of a squirt bottle. Not like the carbonated beverage...but the thing that has a trigger that sprays water (or piss or whatever you put in the bottle). Ugh! The thing that makes me so angry is I used to have it hanging on my wall (with masking tape) and I took it down and put it in storage (a portfolio) so it wouldn't get ruined. Oh the irony.

I should sue the stupid window company because my artwork is priceless! (Right?) My parents bought these really expensive wood replacement windows. They no longer make them. My parents put them in all the bedrooms of our house...and within a year or two, there was noticeable moisture problems. They sent someone out to look at them and they claimed the moisture had nothing to do with the windows... our house was just full of moisture. Right. That's why there wasn't any moisture problems with the other windows in the home. Fucking assholes! AND NOW MY DAMN DRAWING IS RUINED!!!!!

Ugh!

I keep forgetting to tell my "generic" story. Growing up, my mom never really bought generic anything. Once in awhile, she'd buy Faygo pop...but that's not 100% generic...so does that count? Anyway. I grew up on name brands. Our culture has changed dramatically and private labels aren't so "iffy" anymore. Yet I still have a hard time letting go of name brands when it comes to food (I'm gonna buy Oreos if I want a "sandwich cookie", I'm going to buy Ocean Spray if I want some "cranapple"). I was at Target and I was out of Rice Krispies. If I didn't get me some Krispies then and there...I had no breakfast the following day. Of course, the Target I was at didn't have Rice Krispies. However, they did have a box of the Market Pantry (their label) "Puffed Rice" cereal. Since I had no other choice, I grabbed the box. And then I went to another Target immediately after and they had Rice Krispies so I bought a box of those, too. Anyway, I ate the Target stuff first...because you always save the "best" for last. At least I do. Not my problem if you're impatient. I thought the Target stuff was good. Ran out of it. Opened up the Rice Krispies. And guess what? Yep. I like the Target stuff better. Don't tell Kellogg's I said that, though...or Bob, he might beat me up for shitting on the Battle Creek economy.

Man it's been a long week.

I wish there were Jazzercise classes on Friday evenings. I wish I could fit three classes into my schedule. I felt like I needed to punch a wall yesterday. Then I went to Jazzercise and took out my stress and aggression through my workout...and hell yeah! I wish I could convince my mom and sister to go. It's SUCH an ass-kicking the first time you go...but it is feels like such an accomplishment [in the beginning] to complete a class. I never ever once thought I'd love exercising. Never once. I'm so happy I found something I like...I owe Laura a million bazillion thank-yous for introducing me to it...

I hate how cheap computer companies are these days. The first couple of computers my parents bought us were like filled with mad crazy software. TONS of games. And Microsoft Word was a standard. And now that Office is a standard for EVERYTHING...you have to pay a bazillion dollars for the damn thing. Because heaven forbid if a computer company includes the software (and hmmm...let's see...Dell charges $149.99 for Office BASIC). THAT IS BULLSHIT! Why did everything have to change so dramatically over the past 13 years?!? Greedysonzbitches!

Ok I'm just getting worked up over nothing. And I need to vacuum.
