In other news, I had a very eventful weekend. Interview Friday, then running around with Chibizel, driving to Chapel Hill to meet up with Hokuto for hanging out. Got up on Saturday and hauled ass to be on time to the first wedding I've ever been to in my 25 years of life (I like to surround myself with people who have black, frozen hearts). Twas very lovely. The bride looked gorgeous and kept bursting into tears of happiness. Then we went back to Hokuto's place and sometime after dinner her plumbing fucking exploded. You'd have to be there to understand it. The upstairs bathroom flooded and began dripping through the kitchen ceiling. We had to catch it in bowls and bale the water out of a light fixture and me and Chibizel started screaming with hysterical laughter. It was one of those situations that are terrifying but even as they happen you are aware it's pretty funny in a 'we're boned' kind of way. We watched Dr. Who. We watched Metalocalypse. I ate Ma Po Tofu and sushi. We found a lovely Heifeveisan or however the fuck you spell it made from a base out of Chapel Hill brewery.
I'm writing a few (by which I mean like six, some of which may never see the light of day) things, all of them
Metal fics. One may be finished soon, or it might not be. One is going to take fucking FOREVER if I want it to not suck in any capacity. Chibizel, I'm still proofing your fic so no worries.
Mom just told me that she assumed I was lying when I told her I was working from 5-7 at night while I was student teaching (because I'm 'up my friend's asses' and would do anything to hang out with them and would do anything for them. those were her words), but she happened to look at the local high school while driving and saw cars there so it must be true and omg teaching might actually be haaaard! Maybe you shouldn't do that maybe you should get a job somewhere elssssse where when you finish your shift you can gooo hooooome because they want you to get a masters to be a librarian and wtf is up with that? All you do is *fart noise* and stamp books to check them out! That's allllll a librarian does! Urg.
