I've decided that I am sick and tired of being responsible. I've been responsible since I was 4, and I am thrice-damned tired of it. I hate bills. I hate being dependant on money. I didn't decide that money should be used; nobody bloody asked me about it. I hate getting up at 0530 every morning, except on weekends when I can sleep in until 0600.
I hate errands. Errands suck. I hate laundry. And keeping my room clean. And ... worst of all ... I hate that I am COMPELLED to clean up my room.
I'm getting my nose pierced.
Buffy and Angel was the most irresponsible thing I've done lately. And now that it is over, I feel kind of ... lost. And I want to know how the final battle ended. 100wordspermin, please ... SOON! Fuck responsibility. I'll keep working, because I have to, but I don't have to be happy about it. Although I am still quite pleased with the job.
And in good news: our family sat down together after dinner last night and played Trivial Pursuit. AND ... it was Daddy's suggestion. He's becoming a bit more extroverted, which makes the rest of us very happy. Depression sucks. And I hate that my Daddy is having to deal with it, and especially that there is so little that I can do to fix it.
And in OMG news: Mother actually asked me to buy her cigarettes. I honestly cannot believe she had the nerve to ask that of me. I told her no, several times. I cannot ... grrrrrrrrrrr.
Okay people .... interview today at 4 pm for the seemingly ideal weekday job. Wish me much luck!
Also ... it seems that my antics are now infamous enough that someone has declared to have "pulled a Kat." Coolness is me.
timba, are we still on for endless commentary about lighting and camera shots this evening? I'm so looking forward to it, especially since I've finished Buffy and need a new and improved Joss fix. Call me!
This is for anyone who lives in Atlanta, who has ever lived in Atlanta, has ever visited Atlanta, ever plans to visit Atlanta, knows anyone who already lives in Atlanta, or knows anyone who has ever heard of Atlanta, Georgia.
Atlanta is composed mostly of one-way streets. The only way to get out of downtown Atlanta is to turn around and start over when you reach Greenville, South Carolina.
All directions start with, "Go down Peachtree" and include the phrase, "When you see the Waffle House." Except that in Cobb County, all directions begin with, "Go to the Big Chicken."
Peachtree Street has no beginning and no end and is not to be confused with Peachtree Circle Peachtree Place Peachtree Lane Peachtree Road Peachtree Parkway Peachtree Run Peachtree Terrace Peachtree Avenue Peachtree Commons Peachtree Battle Peachtree Corners New Peachtree Old Peachtree West Peachtree Peachtree-Dunwoody Peachtree-Chamblee Peachtree Industrial Boulevard
Atlantans only know their way to work and their way home. If you ask anyone for directions they will always send you down Peachtree.
Atlanta is the home of Coca-Cola. That's all they drink there, so don't ask for any other soft drink unless it's made by Coca-Cola.
Gate One at Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport is 32 miles away from the Main Concourse, so wear sneakers and pack a lunch.
The 8am rush hour is from 6:30 to 10:30 AM.
The 5pm rush hour is from 3:00 to 7:30 PM.
Friday's rush hour starts Thursday afternoon and lasts through 2am Saturday.
A native can only pronounce Ponce De Leon Avenue, so do not attempt the Spanish pronunciation. People will simply tilt their heads to the right and stare at you. The Atlanta pronunciation is "pawns duh LEE-on".
The falling of one raindrop causes all drivers to immediately forget all traffic rules. If a single snowflake falls, the city is paralyzed for three days and it's on all the channels as a news flash every 15 minutes for a week. All grocery stores will be sold out of milk, bread, bottled water, toilet paper, and beer.
I-285, the loop that encircles Atlanta that has a posted speed limit of 55 mph (but you have to maintain 80 mph just to keep from getting run over), is known to truckers as "The Watermelon 500."
Don't believe the directional markers on highways. I-285 is marked "East" and "West" but you may be going "North" or "South". The locals identify the direction by referring to the "Inner Loop" and the "Outer Loop". If you travel on Hwy 92 North, you will actually be going southeast.
Never buy a ladder or mattress in Atlanta. Just go to one of the interstates and you will soon find one in the middle of the road.
The last thing you want to do is give another driver the finger, unless your car is armored, your trigger finger is itchy and your AK-47 has a full clip.
Possums sleep in the middle of the road with their feet in the air.
There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 live in Georgia.
There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 live in Georgia, plus a couple no one has seen before.
If it grows, it sticks. If it crawls, it bites.
It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy.
"Fixinto" is one word (I'm fixinto go to the store).
Sweet Tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you're 2 years old.
"Jeeeet?" is actually a phrase meaning "Did you eat?"
Please forgive my friend. Really, she's a very nice person once you get to know her. Generally, we blame her erratic behavior on some imbalance with her hair dye. We're looking into medications. I'm sure she didn't mean anything at all by the "order up for the weird people" comment. I hope you enjoyed your grits, and please continue to patronize your local restaurants.
