So today I was picking up prescriptions at the optometrist (which I was apparently supposed to be getting mom's contacts and I just heard prescription for some reason,) and there was an old man crying really quietly in the corner. I was going to go talk to him, but when I turned around he was looking everywhere but at the people in the room. He was trying so hard to not draw attention to himself (and I'm pretty shy,) so I left.
But...I wish I had talked to him.

Happy Fathers' Day
If you want an extremely long and polarizing read about the corruption of family courts, here you go. At first, I thought, this guy is crazy. Then again, I think this is exactly the reason there are so many angry misogynists on the internet (look around and you'll find hordes of them in blogs and comments.)
Even the comments on that page totally miss his point, which is that the family court system is broken and needs to be fixed (or in his words, burnt down, which I can't say I condone.)
Guess it's time to start studying up for election day again, and I wonder if this incident and essay will be ignored or a platform point.
Of course, the candidates for next year aren't looking too good for me...Bad Choice #1, 2, or 3?
It's so hard when I feel like writing in Jesus or something as the next President. Then again, Jesus' running mate would probably be the Devil or something.
Anyway, Happy Fathers' Day, don't let me and the news get you down.

But, I Digress
Oh right I have this blog thing that I do sometimes.
Quick updates: I'm so sorry Diedre, I totally would have come and visited you and bought awesome pointless dinosaur fossils that I don't need but really want but I seem to have spent the entire weekend working and being ridiculously tired (and being kinda passive-aggressed at but kinda ignoring it.) I don't have a reason for not calling you back, I'm just a jerk, ha!
Also I still don't have any money so it's probably better that I didn't go buy awesomefossils.
I like working at Petco except for the part where I'm paid minimum wage. Also the part where sometimes there isn't anything to do. Or when a dog backs off the table cause it's stupid and people are watching. At least it wasn't their dog, but it was still all "wtf is wrong with you, dog!?"
The VCA emergency clinic called me back last ...Friday? Maybe? Like six months after I put in an application? Okay?
So anyway, I have an interview for Thursday after my job, cause I'm totally going to try this two job night/day job thing and hope I don't die horribly. VCA wants me as a fill-in more than anything else right now, for when people are sick or want the night off or whatever which is both cool and not-cool. I mean, it's awesome cause I get experience and I don't have to work like 1am-8am every day or something, but it's not awesome because not having a steady schedule there means I can't like quit Petco or anything and I hope they don't go "no you can't have the next day off cause you're working from 1am-8am that day, sucks for you!" Because then I'm gonna have to like, quit and not have a steady job (but one that pays like twice as much!) Anyway, with my luck they won't hire me anyway and I don't have to figure out how the hell I'm going to sleep through dad when I can't sleep even when I actually kinda share his schedule.
Spent too long dress shopping with Chris's mom (and Chris though he wasn't really "there") even though I have dresses I could wear to his cousin's wedding and they didn't have anything I was like "oh, yeah, that one!" and the only one I kinda liked was $80 and you know what, if I'm going to spend $80 I'd rather have gone to see Diedre and get pointlessawesomefossils instead cause I'm bad at being a girl. I was like, "I already have at least five dresses (that I like that I already spent money on) that I never get to wear and this dress is cute but eh polka dots and eh it's navy and I already have a dark blue dress thankyouverymuch." I kinda wish Chris had a sister so I wouldn't be the target of all this "I always wanted a girl and you will wear what I like you to wear in a this-is-not-really-a-request-tone-of-voice."
I always was a tomboy, and while I've become less tomboyish over the years, I'm pretty sure I will never be "girly."
Dad doesn't realize that I can hear him through the wall and the open hallway and he's passive-aggressing about me again, haha. I can be passive-aggressive too, watch! At least I remembered his birthday.
Man, I wanna move out. Not living at home for two years and then moving back in really sucks.
Oh right, a week or two ago Chris and I went to Schlitterbahn Galveston. It was okay, but not nearly as awesome as the original. Too many body slides, which I'm not fond of. Though they do apparently close off part of the park and heat it for winter hours which I find amazing. Also, it's worth it if you want to do nothing but BoogieBahn all day since the line is like 15 minutes long instead of a couple hours. (Sidenote: I kinda suck at it.)
