i wish i could say my stereo/cd player was working, but i think i'd be lying, and it hasn't been working for a few weeks now, and it makes me die a little inside..cause that's the second standalone cd player i've had crap out on me within the last year..mind you the other one was old school..i got it when i was eight..and my personal (portable) cd player also crapped out a few months ago..no music and no play makes kim a dull boy..seriously..freaking ridiculous, last christmas i had begged for a new stereo, as my old one had not been reading cd's..my mom was all "it's only dirty".. JEFF got a brand new cd player for christmas..despite the fact that his was in perfectly good working condition, my mom got me to swap with the other one downstairs..which sure, was all fine and good until a few weeks ago..and now..it'll play the cd's..but you can not use like any of the buttons..you can play it..can't stop it, skip ahead..set the alarm..nothing. bad times. and my walkman broke the first and only time i've ever dropped it..i had taken it out of the car, and it fell on the road..causing no visible breakage..but enough that it could never close..and therefore would not play. i want need an ipod..in which cause, we need a new computer..:: but, we've needed a new computer forever, and unless i buy it myself, the outlook is not looking good. seriously..no doubt i could ask for plenty of things for christmas, but will i? no..and i have no real desire to..technically, i've not received birthday presents from anyone in my family (due to returns)..and i figure we're getting closer to christmas, even if i were to get anything now, it'd lump together..ps, my birthday..yeah..in august..*shrugs*..anyway..everything's still pretty damn lame. jeff moved into my nan's old bedroom..the former spare room..larger..he also acquired a satellite signal..for his television.. two notes..one, i don't have satellite, two, i don't have a television..this was not at all to come off as sounding greedy or whatever.. but yeah.. on another note.. was out with my nan today, and as per usual..she was bugging me abotu everything.. so she treated to dinner, and was just going on, adn asked why i was in an apprent "mood" i said wasn't but that she was being annoying and bugging me about my driving, my mom's manfriend, etc etc, and then she got all upset and watery-eyed..:: and after dinner, i'd driven her straight home.. another thing is, apparently, jeff was supposed to come out with my nan and i.. a. he didn't tell me this b. she didn't tell me this c. my mom told me this only about an hour ago.. he had apparently been waiting all night (::) for me to pick him up.. i'm sure.. eh, so i've a few people angry with me ..after going out with my nan on our pleasant date, i had stopped by woods park to see kim"p" ..this was at about six..we didn't leave til nine..'twas a hawt time..listening to the band and such and visiting with one of the old ladies..who, by the way, still remembers me.. and then later, we mario partied it up :D ..holy crap..again with work..only two shifts on the next scheduled week..seriously..effort nothing i do matters..in regards to selling rewards and such..whether i try or not..nor how many or few i get..our manager has favourites..and it pisses me off so much, not even out of jealousy..but how fair it is to others, not even just myself..::
