The Fair to Middlin' Thread

[Ciararavenblaze]

oof. if it were me saying that, Ruby, it'd be plopped right in the unhappy thread, because my thought train tends to go towards the angsty and bad and not happy direction.

[Ruby Falls]

I know where you're coming from. I can't stand the fact that it can take me so long to fall asleep. I don't want to be one of those people who falls asleep before they hit the pillow either. I like my time to think and pray but I have too much time for my thoughts to run away. I'm a bit torn and that's why I posted here.

[Ciararavenblaze]

I'll tell you... I haven't had a totally sleepless night in a while ever since my dad bought me a thing of melatonin pills. and it really, REALLY does help.

[Garneta]

Really? *wonders if the health department could prescribe those for free?*. . .

[Ciararavenblaze]

oh, my bottle was bought at Costco--I'm sure you can get a prescription, but you can get it at the store.

[Ruby Falls]

I just started shooting a film with some people and it was a lot of fun. We're not even halfway done, though. The first scene got erased so we have to continue tomorrow.

[Ciararavenblaze]

oooh, what's it about?

[Ruby Falls]

This guy, Casey, is loved by an emo girl named Guadalupe. She spends most of her time doodling his name in her notebooks and writing bad poetry about him. Lupe sees Casey (Claudio is his character's name) skipping down the street with me (Eilana) to go on a date. She gets really angry.

At the restaurante I tell Claudio that Paco told me that he wanted to break up with me. Claudio denies it all and tells me that he is in heaven when he is with me. We share a mock-sappy moment and I say that I need to go to the bathroom. Lupe is waiting for me in the bathroom. She stabs me with a plastic knife. I die.

Later Claudio is hanging out with his friend Carmen (played by another friend) on a swing-set. Lupe spies from behind a tree, sneering and shaking her head with disgust. He is unhappy because he just got a bad grade. Carmen tells him not to worry. Claudio realizes that she is cold and goes off to get her coat. Lupe comes around the corner with a huge stick. The screen goes dark. Claudio comes back, sees the blood (ketchup on the snow) and screams "Why!?!?!?" Carmen's body is gone, but there is a trail of "blood".

Claudio moves on and meets Liliya. Liliya confesses that she hugged Paco. Claudio says that he's sorry that she's unfaithful but will be okay. Liliya goes to buy a pop and Claudio warns her to watch out for the other girls. We haven't decided if Liliya dies or not.

Did I mention that the whole video is in Spanish?

[Ciararavenblaze]

no you didn't till now, but that'd explain the names.

[Ruby Falls]

Well, I think that because it's in Spanish it just becomes more funny.

I just bought a couple songs off of iTunes, but I can't find a few that I want.

[Ciararavenblaze]

life is a little too good to be merely fair to middlin', but um... hmm... a few things did go wrong, so I GUESS that balanced things out a little.

[Ruby Falls]

I get to see Grease tonight, but it's with my "friend". She's one of the last people that I want to see today.

[Garneta]

Found out that we'll be dismantling the haunted house starting early next month. Then, the museum will close down at the end of next month. It may re-open somewhere else in town, but we'll have to either build a place, or find a pre-existing place that's suitable. And of course, I'll be out of full-time work there during the transition phase.

So...job hunting time again, it looks like. But, for some reason, I'm really not that worried. Don't quite know what to make of that; I usually get uber-worried over everything...I guess I just have this feeling that everything's gonna work out (in every aspect...I guess I'm just in a mellow/neutral mood today).

[Ciararavenblaze]

my citrus-based air freshener leaked a bit while I was gone and I got it all over myself and probably need to go buy more...

but it's citrus and that's my favorite scent, so...

[Garneta]

I need to go get dinner. Not sure what yet. Perhaps Mazzios, a ham and cheese calzone.

[Ciararavenblaze]

winding down for the night... I'd like to be out doing something, but at the same time, this is just fine.

[Ruby Falls]

I don't really feel like going to church tonight but it's Palm Sunday mass. In one week Lent will be over!

[Garneta]

The mood I've been in all day is lessening (to an extent), and I only have 3 more hours here at work today.

[Ciararavenblaze]

had a good time with Joe, but now I want some time alone--that is, time alone in which I'm guaranteed that my parents will NOT barge into my room for any reason... for a few hours. we'll see how that goes.

[Garneta]

What I said in the Happy/Unhappy threads balance out nicely.
