nirix5Okay. I am so fucking tired. Yeah.
Hell of a way to start a post, I guess. I'll make this easier on everyone by segmenting it, so the bullshit is easier to trawl through! Hooray.
The crazy dream I had
First I dreamed that I had to get up and make chocolate-dipped oranges. I got all the chocolate melted and the wax paper set up, but then Dad came in and stole a few of the orange sections. In retaliation for this I hit up upside the head with a wooden spoon.
Then I dreamed that I was about to get married. Everything was half-assed- the dress fit but the bouquet was falling apart, I had guests but they were just there, no one close or special to me. My bridesmaids were still in New Jersey cause their car was broken and they couldn’t make it and the groom backed out at the last second. Which was a good thing, cause I was all freaking out about not loving him, really. It was a very upsetting dream. I hate when I wake up upset. Not fun.
“We did it…DestiNY killed the economy!” or, Senseless Raving about the Mall
So there’s this guy at work. His name is Bill. He is sixty years old, and a nice guy, if extremely sheltered. He listens faithfully to Rush Limbaugh every day and thinks that Bush is just the greatest president EVER. We keep butting heads over politics… I haven’t told him yet that if I ever am within five feet of the (s)elected president, I intend to spit on him, but that’s just because I don’t want to give him a heart attack.
Of course, he’s all for building the Mall. DestiNY. Yes. It will be the largest mall in the world if it gets finished. Allegedly it will attract more tourists than Disneyland (but where’s the Teacup ride, motherfuckers?) and be a bigger pull than New York City. I tried to patiently explain to Bill that A) Syracuse will never be a bigger draw than New York City, no matter how big their mall is or how many aquariums it has, B) It will not draw more tourists than Disneyland as IT IS ONLY A MALL, albeit with an aquarium.
Feather’s reasons why the mall should not be built here:
~ Four upscale stores in Carousel Center just closed- who the hell is going to rent out the space?
~ The highways are not equipped to handle the masses of tourists that they are predicting.
~ The weather sucks. Period. And let’s face it, no one wants to get stuck Syracuse due to Lake Effect snow. Not when you can go to Florida and go swimming, and go on the Teacups.
~ This is not a port city. It will not attract the wholesale commerce that port cities do. With the exception of Chicago, all of our major cities are coastal, and even Chicago is considered a port city.
~ Syracuse can’t handle the crime it’s got now. How are they going to handle the increases in crime when they can’t even handle a single neighborhood?
~ Can you say On-on-dag-a Lake?
~ There’s nothing else that’s interesting within a three hour drive. Excluding the Finger Lakes, but people go there to get away from the city and the crowds.
~ The vast majority of the people here have a nasty streak. They’re stupid and cruel. Sadly, this statement is not entirely blown out of proportion. At least in my experience.
~ Having a giant mall will create jobs. Lots, and lots, and lots of minimum wage jobs! HOORAY!
Seriously, though. WHY AREN’T WE SPENDING THIS MONEY ON EDUCATION???????
My sister is fucking annoying. She just asked me for the third time if I was done with the dishes. Got out of bed to ask me that. What is she, my mother? Jesus.
Ben,
I’m glad to hear that you’re feeling better. I’ll give you a call tomorrow, or you can call me, whatever works. Maybe if you feel like it we could hang out later in the week. Go see a movie or something. I’m just happy that you’re back and okay. *hugs*
Galadrigoddess,
You’re also on my people-to-call-list. I love you to death, even if I am horrible at correspondence *sheepish grin* I am ever your bitch. But then, you already knew that. *hugglomp*
I have a couple of days off this week. I don’t want them off, because I need the money, but that means that I can use the time to write, which I haven’t been doing lately. I get an idea into my head at work, but by the time I get home all I want to do is sleep. Erg.
I also need to get some new icons. Have (surprise) ideas for a bunch but not the time/resources/patience to make them. I really should put photoshop on this computer, but I’m afraid of bogging it down. Which reminds me, I really have to clean out my files. I’ve accumulated loads of crap over the months.
Zoi-chan,
When are you going to come and visit me? I can have my mom call your mom if you want. Come on, I’ve got my own room now! It’ll be fun and I miss you so much. *giant hugs* I love you, onii-chan.
Matthew,
I’m sorry about your friend. I’ll say a prayer for him. *hugs* I’ll be back on AIM soon. I didn’t forget about you, don’t worry.

Wise One
With an intelligence far beyond your earthly years
and an awareness of the unknown to rival the
greatest of astrologers, as a Wise One you're
an extremely gifted and significant spiritual
agent, and have a special mission of teaching
and awareness in your mortal life. In the
spiritual world, you were called out of
retirement due to your impeccable track record
on Earth. You get the job done, and nobody else
does your particular job better. You have eons
of magical power and wisdom in your soul,
though it may lie dormant. Your presence is
magnetic and powerful, and when angered your
eyes become alight with intensity and
conviction. You are truly majestic and
beautiful, the most respected and reverred of
the Earth Angels. Remember, your hopes and
dreams when applied are as good as casting a
spell, whether good or bad. Be cautious of what
you wish for, because it may just come true.
Use that amazing capacity to learn, teach and
work to your advantage, and it will take you
everywhere you want to go.
