lonely day

whitereflectionFeeling rather emo of late, yesterday especially so. Partly too much caffeine (going without today, was making me sick to my stomach anyway), partly an extreme need for more sleep. Too much 4 hours or less a night. Tried to get more last night, but going to bed between 1030-11 is kind of strange to be considering 'early'. Helped a little tho.
Can't remember if I mentioned my brother bought his first car--and am rather impressed with it. He managed to find something that's both nice and practical, and made a really wise decision for a first-car buyer. Think he shopped more wisely than even I tend to. Sounds like from his email it's a several year old Toyota Corolla with low miles and some time on its warrantee left. Has a few frills, but decent payments, which don't even start until the same month he starts that job. So good show for him--after the Rolex incident, we'd all expected something grandiose and impractical, really.
My poor undead warlock. I've not really ever played her much, and when bloodelves come out I'd've been deleting her anyway...so just tossed her last night and restarted a troll shaman. Now I just wish I had time to play my new shaman some. Was too tired to last night. Named her Yabureru, which rather fits the style of name I gave my troll warrior (that I never play, geh), Kudaranai. Also fits how I've been feeling lately. Yar.
For some reason--reasons I absolutely can't fathom--I'm finding Renji from Bleach really fascinating. At least the other characters I'm currently obssessing-fanning on make sense, I've seen them in the manga I've been able to read (reminds me, need to find more of the English stuff, since I'm not getting around to finding scanlations...) Him, I've not seen at all in the manga, and I only know the minutest amount about his character/background. And he's so not pretty. But gd he's intriguing and striking. Intense and fierce, and the images I've seen showing him with all the tattoos and his hair down... *___* the word 'zomg' rather comes to mind. Snooped around last weekend at some RenRuki ficcage and ended up checking out ByaRen stuff, but it's hard to decide what I really think of it since there wasn't much fic for either (that I could see) and since more importantly I know so close to nothing of the character.
Work is...work. Same old. Had a project idea, but it was partially shot down--though aspects of it I will be permitted to do. Still don't understand why I keep sticking around so much despite such dislike for my supervisor, department chair, dean, the university chancellorship/administration... Well maybe I understand...and it's not just lazy or procrastination or hating to write a resume. I like being in a library. I like certain aspects of cataloging and organization/proofreading/editing work. It fits my personality. Just hard trying to ride out the stupid they keep doing, like outsourcing and money-wasting, cutting back on quality control, and concentrating on flair and style instead of substance.
Also, holy hell allergies have been making things miserable at times. Horrid horrid. At times it's more a normal level, then all of a sudden something will make it spike up, and I just want to flee for the tundra. This is such a bad, bad year for it. I thought they kept telling me they should be easing up, what with all the shots--or is it just that much worse outside? It might be. Stupid assed warm winters and warmer springs--and where's the rain anyway? It's been enough to kick up pollens, but not enough to improve our drought. Definitely not enough to help the water table before the worst of summer. The grass and trees look more like August than June.
I really need a Seattle trip soon. Trouble is, not near enough vac time for it. And finding it hard to save up (trying to convince myself not to take a few hours off this afternoon as is). Also craving a DisneyWorld trip like mad--but that there's no way to schedule until next year or the year after. Really it would be more practical to keep saving $--like for house stuff or for the next car, stuff like that. But it's been so damned long since the last DW trip (was in 2000 I think?). Also also, am really missing going to a con this year. I know I don't have the vac time for it, and it's a lot of money and hassle..but I love cons. I love the crowds and travel and hotels and eating out and seeing people. And I love browsing dealer's room stuff. Would love to go looking for Bleach trinkets and art and djs, and such. When I'd decided not to do anything, I hadn't realized I'd find another fandom to like.
Screw you, life. *shakes fist*
