Christmas time is a time for fuzziness

The one thing that decides what my aunt and my mom are going to buy me for Christmas is whether or not the item is fuzzy.

It has been this way for years now, since I can even remember. Now, don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the softness of a nice pair of fleece pajamas, however they fail to realize I have 6 pairs of fleece pajamas already.

This Christmas, they asked me what I wanted. I told them that I just wanted money, because school supplies....and school in general, is expensive.

My family decided to go against my requests and get me stuff anyway- stuff I already have, stuff I didn't need, and stuff I just didn't want. Here's the list.


Two pairs of fuzzy stay-at-home socks....different colors from last year's pair (those were blue).
These are "Stay-at-home" socks, which I have about 5 pairs of already, and the only thing that changes with them each year are the colors.


Leopard scarf to match leopard gloves I got last year for Christmas.
I received a pair of gloves and a matching scarf last year for christmas, and unfortunatly I lost the scarf, so my mother felt the need to buy a new scarf that would match the gloves. Even though I had a scarf already.


Matching gloves and scarf from Nine West.
This pair of body warmers was received from my aunt. She bought them because they were fuzzy and black. And they matched the jacket she got me (which is shown down there.)


Fleece jacket from Forever 21.
My aunt said herself that, although it's not that warm, it looks good and it's fuzzy. She's right, it does look good on me, but do I really need ANOTHER jacket? If it's not going to keep me warm when I walk to and from school, why get it?


Fleece pullover from Old Navy.
My mother got me this jacket. She got me two in fact. There is this one, and another white one with a brown collar. I returned that one....I actually have two other white jackets like this, one with a gray collar, and the other with a tan one. I actually told my mom before I even opened it that it was going to be one of those jackets, and damn, guess what, I was right.

So, those are the useless things I received from the family. I also got a few other things, which I really did like (like a gift certificate for an hour massage... :P )

I'm out.

Eggnog anyone?

I attempted making eggnog french toast this morning (the recipe was on the carton). The were disgusting

One is burnt and the other isn't even cooked.

Nothing much has happened lately. The bank is being an uber asshole. Here's the long ass story of how this has all come to be.

I locked myself out of my car and I had to call a tow truck, I had no cash on me, and I had no money on my debit card because I was still paying off the debt to that bitch. I tried getting ahold of my parents, however the line was busy ( because my dad was playing online poker.) So, I decided to use my Charter One debit card, which was the bank I originally had in MA. To my luck, it went through. Or at least I thought I was lucky.

My mom called me a few weeks later telling me that Citizen's Bank (they and Charter One decided to merge and not let anyone know about it) had been calling them non-stop, which I had no clue what it was for, or why they were calling my parents. I tried calling them, however everytime I did they were either closed for the day or I would be disconnected (don't know why, don't know how- the fuckers just like to screw with people I guess).

When I was finally able to get ahold of them, they said I was overdrawn $198, and if I didn't pay it that day (which I believe was a Thursday) an additional $33 would be added to the late fee (Yes- that's $33 every 4 business days I was late). I called my parents house hoping to ask them if they could pay it that day so I could avoid the $33, however they weren't home, so I was shit out of luck.

That night my parents returned the call, and my mom said she would try to take off the late charges and straighten things out.

The next day, she returned my call and to my surprise, she was able to have them take off the late fees, and she paid the original $46 (the amount that I was supposed to pay in the first place) and she told me to call them and cancel my account about a week later, which I did. However, I never got a letter from them saying that I had it closed.

Now, as stupid as I am, I thought everything was cleared up! But I was disgustingly wrong. My parents then continued gettinng letters from Citizen's Bank.

I then had the arduous task of getting ahold of them.

Now let me say this. Citizen's is only open 9-4 on the weekdays. The number they gave me to call was open the same hours, was always busy (which is understandable since they like fucking people a lot), or they enjoyed getting the pleasure of hanging up on me. I had class during those times, and if I wasn't in class I was at work, so when the hell did I have time to call them?!

My parents finally got a letter from them saying my account was sent to the DDA (a claims department or something) Now, I still had no clue why they were calling my parents house since they had my address in Pitty.

So, I come to find out that the transaction my mom went through, seemed to never had happened, or at least according to them. Why? Because they lost the paper work, or they just forgot to mark it in the computers-not sure what happened, but they think I still owe them $198!

I went to the branch when I got home, they could do shit for me, saying that things like this aren't handled on the branch level. Which was surprising to me because when I called the DDA they had said I'd have to go through the branch to strighten this out. Don't you just love running around in circles? Boy, I know I sure do.

They gave me my account number, which I never got in the first place, and gave me a number to call. I called them, and I talked to this one woman, Jen. I explained the situation to her, and she said it would take some investigation, and that she'll call me in a few days.

This morning I received her call. *Whew* I stupidly thought, this is all striaghtened out now. Now I don't have to worry about getting bad credit on my account.

What did she say to me? Well, that I still owed the bank 198 fucking dollars! Yeah! Basically, she did shit, and even though everything was settled, I still owe the bank money! Then she said the only way to straighten this out is give her proof that this transaction did in fact go through. So guess what my mom has to do, get a letter from Visa saying she used her card to pay for the debt, fax it over to the DDA, then maybe, just maybe, they will believe me and it will be settled.

Which I doubt, because more than likely they'll lose the fax, or the loch ness monster will have eaten it, and I will be screwed once again.

I'm thinking about suing the fuckers. And I am dead serious about that. I'm not sure it's possible to sue a bank, but damn I'm going to try. Because they have wasted MY TIME, MY MONEY, and have given me a lot of uneeded stress for something that was fixed TWO FUCKING MONTHS AGO.

Do you think I should sue them? If anyone reads this, please, go ahead and leave a note, because I would like to see what others have to say before I do such a drastic thing.

I'm going to close my bank account (technically I have two- yeah isn't that fucking fantastic- and I'll close out the good one and hopefully I'll be able to close out this one also), because I'd much prefer to have a guy fuck me, instead of the banks.

Hope is a hard one to find

Hello friends. I wanted to put this little note up for my friend Heather. Her father was in a terrible car accident a while ago, and has been in a coma since. Her mother just signed the papers to take him off life support if he doesn't get better any time soon. So please, PLEASE, pray for my friend and her father. This is Christmas time when things should be happy. She has been having an extremely difficult time with this, and the least any one could do is give her some support. Please, leave a note, some helpful advice, some wishes....anything, and I'll send them on to her. It would be greatly appreciated, by me, by her, and her family.

Thank you very much and God bless.

I need to be quarantined

Well. Much randomness has happened since the last post. I'll only give you the good stuff though. Well, I hope it's good.

Unfortunately while I was at work I was bombarded by the DM, Tim. He's an asshole, to everyone, and it's a well known fact throughout all of us associates. I was wearing my eyebrow ring and I was doing a relatively good job at keeping it hidden, however he was reaming at me about something and he noticed it and told me I had to take it out and he actually called my boss when he left, then she called me and told me to take it out.

I got written up for it too. Not because there was money missing from the change box, or because I beat up a customer. Nope, I was written up because of a ring.

So, I have had to wear bandaids covering my ring for a week or two, and I eventually got a retainer for it.

Friday I went to see The Killers in concert with Casey. The opening band was awesome, they are from Pittsburgh and I think they are called New Invisible Joy. I bought their CD. The guy has an amazing voice and it's very soothing.

The Killers were so great. The lead singer was so cute! He is about my height, and he has an awesome voice also. HE plays the synthesizer too, and it was covered in fake plastic jewels. Very trendy. They were wearing suits and ties, they looked very good. They played Somebody Told Me which was great. I was standing right next to the speakers and I was jumping up and down, screaming the song at the top of my lungs. The energy of the place was just pounding in my body as I sang along. Truly incredible.

The night before the concert I had spooned with a freind of mine, just because. So the next night (Saturday) I asked him to spoon with me again. He did, and we eventually made it to my bed. In the wee hours of the morning, I told him I liked him if it hadn't been obvious enough. I eventually convinced him to "go out" with me, and he kissed my neck as he agreed to it.

Things were ok, there was much spooning that followed.

Sadly, Monday night rolled around and he broke up with me (if you can even call it breaking up since it had only been two days). That was when I decided I was depressed enough to get drunk.

So I did.

I was sent out of the room I had received the alcohol from, and I went down to see my "connection" to tell him he was awesome.

Then when I went to my room, my roommate decided she didn't want to "deal" with me so she pushed me out of the room and locked the door. I went to the neighbors since she had locked me out. I then procedded to throw up intheir trash can. I don't really remember what happened, I just know I was apologizing a lot.

I was sick all the following day, and I called off work for the following day just in case I wasn't better. Des forced me to go to school, but I stayed for about 2 hour sin one class, then waited for the trolley to come around so I wouldn't have to walk home. I found out I was failing comp. lit, so I just stopped going.

On Thursday I was invited to a party, which I went to. I thought I was only going to stay for an hour or so, since I had work the following morning.

That certainly did not happen. I was there until 4 in the morning, and I actually did go to work (I had a cappachino to keep me up).

There are some things I never thought I would do, and last night a majority happened. After playing spin the bottle for a while, I resulted in the kissing of two girls. I never thought it would happen to me, ut now I am an official lesbian. It was just so- different and exciting.

Ok not really, however I did kiss some girls, as well as frenched this guy I had known for 6 hours. And I was actually the one inciting this. Sadly, I haven't seen him since, and I will probably never see him again. He had been hitting on me the whole night, and I figured that would be the only action I'd get in.....forever. So I just went with it.

It was a fun noight, but the weekend was just terrible. I don't feel like writing about it now because I have homework I had to avoid. But in time, I wll get around tp it. Once I have somefree time on my hands.
