So many icons to choose from, but in the end I had to go to Olivier.

So to continue on with the title, the office is going to see my crazy angry bitchy self very soon if they can’t get their damn asses into gear. They’ve been so backed up that maintenance still hadn’t gotten to my sink, and it’s been a week since it broke. But since my parents knew that it hadn’t been fixed, they unexpectedly came down yesterday with a new sink. Didn’t need it though, since my dad just put something on the current one and put the faucet head back on. Said it shouldn’t come off now. Took him all but three minutes. Maintenance couldn’t come and take those three minutes to fix my sink. Wow.

Now if I do go and bitch to the office, it’ll be about the exterminator. They better call one soon, because it’s been a week since I reported the problem. In a week I used a can of Raid. Yesterday my parents got me some roach hotels, and another can of Raid. Hadn’t seen a roach, or any bugs, all day today, but then I went to fill up my water bottle and found one half dead by the hotel in the kitchen. It’s dead now. Found another one about a foot from it. I didn’t know if it had gotten some of the poison stuff from the hotel, so I sprayed it. It’s dead now. I haven’t actually been seeing any roaches in the kitchen, until today that is. I’m sure there’s more to follow. I don’t see any in or near the other ones in the living room. I haven’t checked the one in the pantry/closet, and I’m kind of scared to check the one in my room because I haven’t seen any roaches in there. There isn’t just one exterminator to deal with a bunch of problems in the apartments(which I’m sure there are other apartments in the complex with bug problems) so I don’t know why they haven’t called one yet. And if that doesn’t work I’ll bitch and complain, as will much of my family over phone, until they move me to a new apartment bug free, and I’ll bitch and yell until they reimburse me for the money I’ll have to use trying to get rid of the damn bugs.

I’ve been lazy today. Got about 85% of my Japanese done, and that’s about it…I really should get going on more of my stupid homework/studying.

And that’s why Twilight failed

And still fails. And shall always be a giant pile of stinking fail.

The reason I say this is because since it’s Friday night and I don’t have to worry about going to class and I’m watching TV. Best thing I found on was Buffy. I never really followed the show when it was first airing, but it was the episode where Angel opens the portal to Hell, Willow gets rid of his evil side but Buffy still has to kill him. And then, I thought. That it where stupid Twilight went wrong. It’s supposed to be some cliche crappy love story between a vampire and human, right? But where the story went wrong is that the chick didn’t kill the stupid sparkly vampire, but did something stupid and reproduced with him. If she had killed him, I still wouldn’t have read the books, but it would have definitely been better.

I had so much trouble choosing an icon for this post. I almost wanted to choose the who needs sparkle one with naked Ed on it, but damn it I just couldn’t turn away from sexy hair down Ed. And then it makes me sympathize with sexy Ed for having to share a name with that stupid sparkly vampire guy.

Correction: a LONG LONG year.

I have a ton of stuff to do within between right now and my first class is tomorrow, so with sleep I have about four, maybe five hours to do all that. So I’ll make this short. Normally I wouldn’t do two posts in two days like this, but the year just keeps getting better.

Get to class. Nearly missed the bus because I forgot to fill up my water bottle last night, but I remembered it this year and since I rode my bike over to the stop(homeless dude free this time) I managed to get it. I got to class, sat there for a bit, then mycology started. The professor is a freaking bore. I’m pretty sure he’s just at the university for his research.

It’s going to be a LONG year

Yeah…where to begin?

Let’s begin with the apartment. Well, turns out that that exterminator didn’t know what the hell they were doing, because when we began moving the big stuff in Saturday we went around the edges of the room with bug spray, and they came running out. One even nearly went into my brand new couch, but my aunt caught it. And then the next day of course there’s more, I even found a few in my room. Honestly, this apartment thing had me crying last night. I was just so sick of having to deal with all this shit, and so pissed that the stupid apartment complex showed such a nice apartment to me when I was looking only for me to be given this piece of crap. I can’t even open the door regularly. To unlock the screen door from the outside I need to push in first then turn the lock, and the regular door just doesn’t like opening without some force behind it. And yesterday, after my mom sprayed the cabinets (is that the right word? For some reason I feel like it isn’t) and wiped all the bugs that were in there, she laid down some shelf lining and put the little bit of food I got in them. Then she told me to wash the dishes and such so they could be put away. I attempted to start with my silverware. Well, I didn’t even get through that, before the entire faucet came flying off and water went everywhere. My mom screwed it back on, but it came off again. So I ended up doing the silverware in the kitchen sink, and I had to do each individually because I don’t have a stopper for it. Today, although I was just going to wait until tomorrow because I was so tired, I went to the office and told them all of this. I mainly decided to do it today because I made my pot pie, was going into the extra storage closet to get a plate and I see a roach on the wall. Killed that sucker, then grabbed my keys and went up to the office, even missing the beginning of The Office and holding off on eating to do so. I guess tomorrow they’ll come fix the faucet when I’m at school, and she said she’d call an exterminator, although I don’t know when. She kept asking if it was ants, and I kept telling her no. If it was ants I could take care of them, there have been issues with ants a few times at home, they’re pretty easy to get rid of. And I have to go back in tomorrow, although I think they’ll be closed by time I get back from class, to pick up new keys, because my mailbox key won’t work and my other key won’t open up the laundry room.

Not sure yet

I moved into my apartment today, and right when I moved in I was having second thoughts about choosing the apartments I did. I open the door and the first thing that gets me is that there’s carpet. The model apartment they showed me had wood flooring, and that was one of the things I really liked about the apartments. But no, I got carpet. And there’s a huge spot on the carpet, I have no clue what it is. I’ll just have to report it so they can’t pin it on me and cover it with furniture. Also when I went in there were a bunch of bugs on the carpet in the living room and on the kitchen floor. They were all dead, because there was a notice that an exterminator had come a couple weeks before to kill any bugs that were there, but they never bothered to clean them up. So we swept up the ones in the kitchen and will have to vacuum the ones in the living room up next time. None in the cupboards, I checked them, or in the drawers. And I didn’t see any living ones. And my apartment already has a security door installed, so that’s extra protection and when it’s cool I can open it and enjoy the nice weather. For right now I’ll just have to see how things go when I move in there next weekend for the school year. It might not be as bad an it initially seems.
