2004-07-13 Round fruits betrayed me
This little Asian-American girl just ran into the lab and shouted "people were right, all Asians look the same, holy shit!"
Made me laugh, anyway.

One of the counselors of the Iowa Young Writers group worked his way into my subconcious, evidently. I, at least, had a dream about him. I know his name's Vinnie, because he's checked out keys to the lab and I've had to hunt him down to get 'em.
That wasn't an interesting story to anyone else but me. But there it is.
My paycheck shit is more or less straightened out now. I got an advance on the checks I should've gotten over the past month+ (advance on late checks: fucked up, but fine), and I think everything else is alright now. It'd damn well better be. Gr.
Met up with David today for coffee, post-paycheck bullshit. So I already had The Headache from caffeinelessnesshood, but would've probably had a headache from Getting Jerked Around. It was more than a welcome respite. David's a neat fellow -- I'm glad he exists.
I got some sleep last night and my brain is less fried. Woo and yay.
Things I need to do: See an allergist
Get utility set-up in motion for new place
Call landlords about moving a few days early
Furniture
I got a couple weeks. Uhm... 18, 19 days. I wonder if my landlady still wants to sell me that mattress. I'll have to talk to her. I think I scare her anymore.
But, you know what?
Good.
I just reorganized my AIM buddy list. I had people on there that I haven't talked to or even seen online for 5 years, and names I didn't even recognize. Also, Nic (the ex) just tried to IM me under some odd screen name. I blocked it. Maybe this time, he'll get the message. If not. I don't know. It's just annoying every few months or so, and definitely pretty creepy (move on, already), but not scary enough for a restraining order. Which is for the best, really, I'd rather this than hiding in the bushes. Do restraining orders ever really work on the criminally insane? No, not really.
A friend of mine's having a party tonight that I'm semi-invited to. May or may not still be going when I get off work.
I can't wait to be moved and have that done with. I hate this anticipation.
