So I spent a majority of last night's overnight hours at Sparrow Hospital for something I will not discuss that was not too fun, yet not nearly as bad as some people there. The point is not why I was there, but what follows. Sometimes I guess it takes a trip to the ER, or even the hospital for that matter, as an observer to be thankful for what and who you have. Granted I didn't see any bullet wounds, I saw blood oozing out of 3 heads (3 separate parties), a 3 month old with a raging fever and chills (imagine being the parents there), and countless older people on oxygen making quite a bit of noise with every breath. I'm sure this is just an average night at the hospital too.
The thing is we all have been there (or possibly are there). Someone we are close to, or ourselves for that matter, are/were in that position. It basically sucks. When it's over, said, and done though, ever find yourself taking stuff for granted again? Even if you think on a daily basis, you do reflect and think 'hey, this isn't so bad' ? I know I am guilty of it, and I do consider myself a relatively grateful person.
I guess the point I'm trying to make is to be grateful for what and who you have in your life. This sounds like chain mail material, I know. I basically just need to add 'send this to 45 people or a bald, paraplegic midget will steal your sex drive' to the end of this.
Really though, I'm also writing this to stay awake. It's 11:44AM EST. I have about 7.25 hours left here, then my 11 day break (which really consists of a couple of out of town weddings - :) - and the fun move ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) xcrossbonestyle get to partake in) commences. Speaking of which, anyone have any boxes they wish to donate? I don't really think we are gonna need more, but it's good to know (and Alia has been asking me this quite a bit). I'm gonna make a couple of late night trips to Meijer anyway, but it's worth a shot.
Hmm... what else? I'm groggy, and am starting to zone out. I'm also quite thankful that Cleveland and Columbus seem like they are happy with their phone service today. It's either that, or they are suspended and can't find a phone to call and bitch at me about it with. Either way works for me. If it is the latter, I hope they find that phone after 7pm.
Send this to 45 people or a bald, paraplegic midget will steal your sex drive. Just kidding.

It's day one after the demise of my cell phone, and I think I'm liking it. Not that it wasn't good to me, but it's almost a relief not to have it on me. You know what, x out the almost... I do like it. Maybe I'll just keep things this way and go with a landline or something. Or nothing at all. Nah, that would just be dumb. Hey people with VOIP...comments? Hmmmm.
I can't believe I've only been here for 123 minutes. Time seems to be inching by.
Being aggravated does not help.
I gotta get out of this cubicle.

My cell phone took its final leap out of my hoodie and onto the ground and died today, while I was resting my head on my desk at work.
For a while I thought it would make it, it went thru some hard times. Then it seemed to have a spark of life left, and I was happy.
Guess not.

Hey people.
I have a question for anyone that has been to Canada recently. I understand you need 2 forms of proof of citizenship. I have a US passport... but it's expired. My birth certificate is out of reach. I do have a voter's registration card, and a MI license (hopefully will still have one if I don't get another damn speeding ticket), and I have picture IDs (student ids and stuff) to back em all up.
Think I'll have a problem? Keep in mind that I look Arab!
Thanks.

Side note, Pearl Jam is freaking awesome. I don't care if you agree, or if you think I'm 12 because I like them.
This update really has no point, but I needed something to do I guess.

Listening to Soil right now. I usually listen to em in a melancholy mood, but I think I'm more out of it. I have to give you allergy-ridden kids props for dealing with this bs. I had a bad allergic reaction to an antibiotic this weekend, and this shit is driving me crazy! Sad part is I have to take steroids with the benadryl at home, so I'm all loopy and wired at home. Then I get here (work) and take benadryl alone, and I get sleepy.
Fun.
I'm bored as hell. Think I am gonna go back to Ray Kurzweil.

Even though I am in a shitty mood, I'll still answer xcrossbonestyle s weird questions.
undercovertowel, i feel like you were indirectly asking me to interview you in your post of this nature (even though it doesn't quite go along with the rules...) So here goes:
1. The members of Whitesnake, Def Leppard and Better than Ezra are all trapped on the 26th floor of a burning building. You can only save one band. Who would you chose and why?
2. How do you get away with using so much Aux time? (note: Cheap responses such as: "because i am awesome" and the like are not acceptable)
3. When are you going to get our DVD player fixed?
4. Off the top of your head, what is your estimated ratio of beer to food in our fridge?
5. Name three big ticket items you have purchased but have yet to use? :)
1) First off, I think you meant 'choose' and not 'chose'. To answer that, at this point, they all can rot.
2) I'm answering that question with a question. How do you get away with napping in aux?
3) OUR dvd player??? I don't remember you pitching in to buy me that as a birthday gift to myself when I lived on Brookfield? In fact... I didn't know you then. And I hope to god you didn't do anything else with it other than what you have told me.
4)toughie. I can't say about the food, cos lord only knows if you decided to make some weird vegetarian recipe and clear out our fridge. So I'll say there are about half a dozen amstels, a few heinekins, and 4 others for randomness.
5) Bike. Bike. Bike. Funny how your bicycle was in our living room since last October, and you've used it twice ;) I need a license to drive that thing. That license needs to be accompanied by a safety course, which I have yet to get into. Are you still waiting for that bike etiquette book to come out? ;)
Sorry for the harshness, I'm a bit raspy right now. This has nothing to do with anyone reading this. Probably.
It's all good anyway.

It's the fourth of July. I'm at work. I don't mind it. Actually, I DIDN'T mind it till about an hour ago. I walked over to my cube this morning at 7:15 thinking I would be secluded today, and was looking forward to this time. An hour later he-whose-desk-must-be-lysoled bounced in. To those of you who don't know, I sit across from him. Motherfucker.
Why is it that I picked this cubicle again?
On a happy note, The Black Crowes are playing at Common Ground. I already have the day off. Fuck yes.
I'm really glad this livejournal has a private option.

So I had a pretty decent weekend. I didn't do much, and most of it was done not sober.
I was also having an okay Monday.
Then Fiji came along. For those of you who don't know Fiji, see lojus .
He sent me this.

(COPIED FROM anomilygrace )
Well, I've done this one fairly recently, but a) I love it and b) there are lots of new people on my friends' list since the beginning of May, so...
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
Well here are the questions I was asked...
1. What is your favorite movie ever?
That's pretty tough. Today, I would say Pulp Fiction. Tomorrow I may say Office Space. Yesterday I may have said The Last of the Mohicans.
2. What music should I listen to that I don't?
Any music that I give you would qualify for music that you should listen to... and LOVE ;)
3. Why do you lust after my boyfriend Jared?
When did you start dating him?? He's been my desktop background for at least a month now...so boyfriend or not I DON'T CARE.
And the answer to that... Mr.Leto is hot. Need I say more?
4. Excluding being a CSR for the rest of your life ;), what would you do if you decided vet school wasn't for you?
Well vet school is my second option, THIS is really my dream job (queue heavenly music). HOWEVER... Plan C... Rock N Roll star!! ;)
5. What is the logic behind having an away msg of "away"? Don't I already know you're away because there's an away msg up?
Funny you ask that. It's odd, because I talk to people sometimes when I'm 'away'. Other times, I am physically away. And other times, the part of me which wishes to be 'aim-social' is away, though I may be physically present. Sometimes I feel like writing something non-generic, others I could give a rats ass. Basically, my having an away message indicates a maybe. I guess I'm veering away from the initial question. There really is no logic behind 'away' or (a lot of the time) any other bullshit message I may come up with. It may or may not indicate a feeling, what I'm doing, or a random thought. Addressing your second question, if you refer to the beginning of this answer, I am not always 'away'. I may be physically away, mentally away, or away.
Make sense? :)
Damn, I get to tag people again. Guess this means I interview them. Alright, I pick freewomyn , humalong , xcrossbonestyle , itscatastrophe and lojus .
Wow that all came from the top of my head. Surprising given my state of mind right now.
11 fucking more minutes.

The following message, taken from a recent AIM convo, was the bright side of my day.
"(23:11:56) Shmemmelles: infections are good. it means you get antibiotics and they clear up."
As you can guess, last night/today sucked. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow morning either.
I'll be in the corner with my bottle of vodka.
