Sometimes I really, really hate the world. And at least ninety-five percent of the people in it.
I'm not going to talk about that, though, besides to mention how much simpler the world would be if everyone only yelled about the things they were really angry about, rather than the neat and seemingly logical cover-ups, and if some people had to accept that yes, the rules should apply to them too. Really. And I'm going to resist the urge to add line breaks and call a rant poetry, difficult as it may be. Instead I'm going to ramble about Christmas in an attempt to improve my mood.
So, hurrah for materialism! One of the highlights of the plunder at my mom's house included the Buffy season 5 DVD set, which I've realized has "Fool For Love" and all sorts of other fun Spike episodes. Yay! And I've heard the special features are great. It also has "The Body" which I hate 'cause it makes me cry. I'll probably watch it anyways. :P
Also got a cell phone, which I'm moderately happy about. You have to understand, I hate phones. I'd rather instant message, or email, or talk in person -- anything but phones. This may be because I have terrible hearing and I suck at picking up meaning from tones of voice -- I'm much more of a visual person in spite of also having terrible eyesight. However. Even more than I hate phones, I hate getting left places with no clue whether my ride is just stuck in traffic or if they've forgotten about me or if they're lying dead in a burning wreck somewhere. (So much for the good mood attempt.) So it'll be very, very nice to have a phone so I can nag people when they don't show without feeding change to crackly, picky, and occasionally completely non-functional payphones (did I tell you about the one where I could hear the person on the other end but they couldn't hear me? Yeah, that was fun) and so that they can (hopefully) let me know when they're going to be late. It's a gift along the line of (expensive) socks: entirely practical, though still necessary and appreciated. Or something.
Ooh, and FFX-2! I rented it a few weekends ago and tried desparately to finish it over the space of three days, got to what I think was the last dungeon and died horribly at the hands of a sub-boss several times before I gave up. So now that I own it I'm playing slowly, hitting all the sidequests before I move on -- and there are many, many sidequests. Whee!
