I collapsed at work today. It's been several years since my period suunk my blood sugar that fast but it did happen a lot when I was younger. Of course it didn't help that this bigass black dude came out of nowhere, cut in line just to tell me i'd disrespected his mom or something and that if I "ddidnt learn some respect" then "next time he wouldn't be so nice". That's exactly how he said it too. That he wouldn't be so nice next time. How is that not a threat? I don't know where he came from. He didn't check out in my line. So he scared the crap out of me & left me shaking & combine that with already being sick with some damn womanlies issue... I shook like I had Parkinsons and my legs went out. The Team Lead practically had to carry me to the office. Team Lead is a really nice guy. He bought me a water & a snickers & let me sit in there til my hands stopped convulsing. I couldn't control my arms for a bit and I was very dizzy. But at least the bully was gone went I came back out.

I'm kinda embarassed about it now. But I was ok the rest of the night. I hope I can recognize the bully if he comes in again. I want to avoid him.

WHOA!

So I transferred some of the keychain cam's videos to the bigger computer to experiment with sound editing and holy crap.. i have video! it's grainy video that is slow to focus... but it is video, it is in color, and it does auto-focus. i guess my ancient 18GB computer just can't process something that the bigger computer can.
*sigh*
moving on.. since i'm on the computer i'm off to youtube to show you my fave Superwoman videos.. cuz SHE ROCKS.. and i saw the little rainbow heart youtube put in their banner. Awwww!!

moving on....

"Hold my bindi!"

And i got a lineup here... youtube automatically linked a playlist when i checked out her latest vid direct from her channel. Coolness. Looks like I'm busy for the next several hours ^_^
And maybe i'll find the video that i remember where she says "yes, Jessica lives in my boobs."
And wow i'm seeing old favs again.. ..and on and on......

And I'm remembering how much i hate the talky ads. They are so much louder than the videos!!!

In other news.. Ana Regzig posted again!! WOOHOOO!! She's been put back on the Juice Feast by her trainer, and she's pointing out how clearly her job is going against what the "doctors" told her to do again. And she'll let them duke it out while she sits in the corner and grins. 2 weeks food-free. Wow. And i've got blood gushing out of me and i'm in pain and i seriously want chocolate. Maybe i could do one week, next week? I'd still do my protein shakes ofc, but one week doesn't do much damage. I've had horrid stomach illnesses for that long. I just really like the idea of being part of a group thing that she does. And just like Howard Wolowitz once said about his mom doing a hunger strike..... it's be months before I was in any danger. I dunno.
I think i'm just so damn unhappy in that awful job that I'm looking for an outlet. And my brain isn't wanting to do anything that requires being coherent. At least the Motrin kicked in so i'm not bent over double. No, now I'm just tired, brain-fried, and really not wanting to work tomorrow. My limbs have turned to lead.

Ok... i did do 2 actual things today... I renewed my Lucky subscription.... and I found and downloaded the free editors Wavosaur and Audacity. So yay there.

Good night.

stressed!!

I am so sick of that damn job! They are moving me up front one day a week. I'm so unhappy! And I'm unhappy for the same reason as always..... employer is focused on the wrong thing. All they care about is how much total dollars I ring at cos register. I could ring a few gift cards and they'd be happy. And that has me unhappy because I'm not being recognized for my talents and strengths. I suck at doing my own makeup, mainly because so much has to be done without my glasses and I just can't see. I can give myself a pretty china doll mouth but I suck at everything else. But I'm good at making others look good. And I like to make others look good. It makes such a huge difference when a woman likes what she sees in the mirror. At least we here all understand this, but I don't think employer does. Presumptions R Us sucks sweaty monkey ass.

My other stress is once again I'm having technical difficulties on the music making front. I figured out how to use my keychain camera.... but movie maker won't let me combine 2 sound files into one. That's a problem. I wanted to record myself playing the melody, then record playing the harmony, and then combine those 2 tracks into one. Movie maker says "no!" So I'm needing a sound editor. Talked to Bro. He says I could use his copy of Soundforge. We also talked about some of the free editors I Googled, specifically Wavosaur and Audacity. He's heard great things about Audacity, but Wavosaur was unfamiliar. I'm really attracted to Wavosaur simply because the reviews I found said Wavosaur was tiny, less than 500KB. So I could run it on my bedroom comp. I'd so love to be able to do as much arranging as possible on my bedroom comp. I get more privacy and don't have to fuss with headphones.. although now I think of it, I will need headphones while recording cuz my timing would be best if I could play the harmony while listening to the melody track. This could be a problem. My ancient bedroom computer doesn't have a headphone jack. Crap. Cuz only my room can be made a cat-free zone and my kitties tend to be noisy. So recording in here is the best location in my house. *sigh* so tests & research is ongoing I guess.

Strong chance I could get called in to work today. Fatass keeps calling off. She has called off for at least half of her workweek for 3 weeks solid. Sometimes she calls off every day. And it is *beyond* frustrating. I spent all Sunday at the front register cuz fatass called off. So ofc my cos sales were shit. I wonder if those damn reports even show when I'm stuck up front? Probably not. Those fucktards expect me to do the work of 5 people. I should totally be capable of replacing an entire staff. Assholes. And double asshole on fatass. She keeping complaining of arthritis in her knees and she just wants to sit in the office for her entire shift. Ok, so yours truly is about 190lbs right now. Fatass is twice as wide as me, and like 2 inches shorter. She's like Violet Beauregarde (did I spell that last name right?) After Violet blew up in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. Fatass is all fat. Gee, I wonder why she has knee trouble? And now she's bitching about how she doesn't have all the paid time off she "needs" and is saying she'll work and then she calls off after saying she'd work. It's just.... damn it , bitch, take a few weeks off to get it together. Stop punnishing the rest of the store.
I should try to sleep. I hope I don't get called in, but I probably will. 3 weeks of calling off should have some sort of repercussion.

this could be good....

I'm feeling kinda cautious but.... I might have figured out how to work the old keychain camera. It still doesn't record video for me but I think it wants to install something before it would show video. Cuz in the sample vid on Thinkgeek the keychain recorded in black and white. I don't need video tho. I just need sound and this little keychain records sound fairly clearly.

What I did was use that ancient mic and old Sound Recorder to talk about what I was doing with the keychain as I was doing it. So I have about 20 mins of me jabbering. Then I plugged the keychain into the computer and lined up the sounds & pics with my jabbering... and I think I know how to use it now. Hooray!! Must take good care of this! I did keep the box so it has a safe place to rest.
Wow the sound difference between the mic and the keychain is sooooooo obvious. Lol I tried to take pics but it's hard to aim the thing. There's no viewfinder. I also discovered that the keychain seems to delete files automatically once it's been plugged in. So I'm gonna have to really be on the ball when using this keychain. What's funny is the keychain dates the pics as being june 1 2010 umm.... hahaha! Oh well, I don't care. For now, for today, I am very happy. I need to make a little perch for the thing and figure out best placement for recording. Thus far it seems the best spot would be roughly where the middle of my music stand would be if I were using a music stand. So about level with my nose, about a foot away...with my viola having its holes facing the device. I still don't know how my playing would sound but that's a test for another day....or night. I was up all night again.. I also need to figure out Windows Movie Maker. I'm also gonna need to make some space on my hard drive. Uninstalling Sims would free up some seerious space. Sims is being very glitchy and I'm concerned that my computer is getting strained by Sims. This old computer is the only one I have access to that can see my comic's custom colors. I haven't played Sims in months and I seriously miss it. But I have to keep my old comp going as long as possible. And Movie Maker is gonna be a strain too... although perhaps I could run Movie Maker on the other computer? The other one is only about 12 yrs old. It's the one that ran WoW.
I don't know what to do. I so badly want to record and draw and everything in my room. It's quieter and I don't inconvenience Mom and her fave shows at all. And I like the privacy!but if I must, it would be less embarassing to do the music in "public" than to make my comic and stories.
My voice amuses me now. I used to hate it. Now I find it funny. Though I still don't like to hear myself singing. I think my singing voice is twangy. But my speaking here is funny to me.
Ok anyway I need sleep. I am very late getting the fathers day card to daddie dearest cuz I slept all day yesterday and now I've stayed up all night stopping & starting recording & running my tests so dumbass me is probably gonna sleep all day again. And I also need a shower before I go over there. And I also need to learn Movie Maker and practice my playing.
Anyone know if Lindsey Stirling is gay-friendly? I know Superwoman is... do a youtube search for Superwoman People Are Gay and her video should come up. I also like Superwoman's Girls on their Periods video and her How Girls get Ready. As is her All Ages Parties video.

Well.... the good news is the ancient mic does record....

The bad news is everything it records sounds like it's coming through several feet of wool or something.
Sigh. Being poor sucks.
ok think... could try this old mic on the newer computer... and didn't I used to have a headset? Yea, a mic and a single earphone headset that I used when playing WoW. I wonder what happened to that?

discovery!

So when I go to youtube thru my phone's browser instead of thru the app, I am signed in to my youtube acct! Cuz my youtube is attached to this same gmail that this blog uses. It was just easier that way. Apparently I can't leave comments on videos unless I go google+ and I dontt wanna. But I can mark vids as Favorites and I can subscribe woohoo! So if anyone is curious my youtube name is Evilwhitecat9 and yea it's a reference to an old Ronson thing, we all know I have a slight crush or something so let's move on.
I wanted just plain evilwhitecat but it was taken. Maybe that was an old acct of mine that I lost the password to? Well whatever.... evilwhitecat9 it is now.
I haven't uploaded anything but I'm now subscribed to Superwoman and to Mich, and I have a few favs. Tho not every one seems to be showing. Oh well, what do I expect for such a small phone browser? My poor phone does its best. It's not a Droid!
I had to work today so I'm hurting. Feet really hurt, a constant ache with occasional stabbing pains. Ankles not happy. They keep making clicking sounds as they hurt. That's probably not good.
I can almost reach the ancient computer mic I need to test if I can record anything. The mic is older than the computer I'm gonna plug it into. This could be fun... ... ... yea...
Nothing else much doing. I'm just hoping to find some way to make some simple music to upload to youtube. At the very least I owe Peri a Rohan theme.

the post i thought i made...

Am I the only one who thinks I posted something but turns out I only dreamed about posting or I came up with the idea but never actually wrote it? I was sure i'd done the fangirl squeal at Ana Regzig having posted again in less than a month. I was also sure i'd mentioned calling off work for 1 day and sleeping all that day and the next. Today I feel slightly better. Still have the dry hacking cough, how annoying.
Woke up at frakking 3am today. Did a bit of cleaning. Found yet more candy and yet more makeup. Ugh. I need to lock up my credit card. Got some cute bathroom-organizer type things and used them for makeup. The tiny, clear drawer things are particularly cute. And stackable! But I barely made a dent. I got rid of one box but I still have the Sephora box and the just-for-work box and a caboodles tote and several mary kay totes and a couple bags of various samples I've collected.
I seriously had no idea my collection was this large. I might give Mich a run.
I just like makeup. It's fun! It's really just face painting. I even wear makeup when I'm just hanging around the house. I figure I can use the practice. I still suck at eye makeup. Mostly I'll just put a light brown on the eyelid and a really light shimmery shadow under my eyes. I wear glasses, and the shimmer seems to lessen the shadows my glasses create. There's also the inner corner of the eye. It tends to get dark in there. I put shimmer in there, usually a cream shadow, and I look more awake.
Jack Black makes great spf lip balms.
I just realized I'm still missing at least 1 eyeliner, a lipstick, and a gloss. At least. And an eyeshadow brush. I have issues.
Physician's Formula makes great spf face powders. I have no idea about their eye and lip stuff tho. That's hard to find in my area. Do they even make lip stuff?
My fave tinted spf lip balms are the Fresh Sugar lip balms. They're pricey as hell, but they go on like silk and butter and are soooooo comfy and smell like lemon and are soooo moisturizing. They melt easily tho. That's the one drawback. I got a Christmas set for myself so I have enough spf balms for this summer anyway ^_^
My fave gloss is still the minty Charlotte Ronson gloss, but it doesn't have spf.
Sometines I like the super glitteryness of Hard Candy makeup, but does it exist anywhere other than walmart? I've heard too many things about walmart treating women like crap. Has anyone heard bad things about meijer or Target? Meijer has everything I want *except* the Hard Candy. Google seems to think Target has Hard Candy. And I know target has two other brands I'm curious about (pixi and eyeslipsface).
Nooooo must not go shopping. I have too much already! Bad Honor!
I am so tiredddd.... why can't I sleeeeeep?

she posted again!

And I missed it! Grrr at self! About 3 days ago Ana Regzig posted a cute pic and I overlooked it cuz I was rereading my fav parts of EGS.
Sigh.
Between womanlies finally dragging to an end and a nasty cough Brogave me, I have been lazy as hell these days off. My Star Trek fanfic is a bit over 1000 words and I did a brief comic sketch in my notebook but that's it. Yea I have a comic notebook. It sleeps with me. I figure even if looking at a computer screen hurts or I'm just too lazy to get out of bed I can still try to brainstorm ideas & write them down. I do need to get up tho. I've drained all my bedside water bottles. Mom is annoyed cuz I've done fuckall this week. Her schedule is opening up now that the school year is over (cuz for some odd reason a lot of church activities are tied to the school year. You'd think there'd be more church stuff in the summer when the kids were free but nooooooo) so Mom's starting up her usual "it's summer cleaning time" which is soooo annoying. Cuz my schedule does not slow down in the summer. I tend to get more hours as the senority peeps use their vacation days. So Mom's all "let's clean!" And I just want to rest.
It's been a cool, rainy summer so far. 50 degree nights (USA still uses fairenheit scale... and did I spell that right?) And today's high temp was barely over 70. So my attic room has been very comfy this week. And work is doing new uniforms soon I guess. I was asked for my size. Ofc they did not give me a sizing chart to take with me so I could get my measurements checked. Noooo. So since my last work-provided shirt is labelled XL I stuck with that. It's easier to take something in than to let it out. And work doesn't like anyone wearing sweaters etc over the work shirt. So I need room under the shirt for winter layers.
Last week at work was so awful. 3 people called off on truck day, which was also the change the sale tags day. So truck didn't get touched til the next day. And then I had yet another shaving shit & deoderant reset! So I got no sales at all. Ugh.
Ok I should go eat something semi-healthy and then try to get another 100 words or so writtem.

fucking auto download links!

Why the hell do people who have websites not saywhen a link is to a pdf and not another html page?!
Fucking couldn't stop the damn download and my phone's SD card lost it's map so God only know what that damn pdf was written over. I probably lost my pics of my dearly departed dog by now.
Well I finally figured how to remove the card. And phone still works. Seems only downloads and pics I took with cameraphone (and vids) were stored on the SD card cuz all my bookmarks are still here. So the card is now in a tiny jar in my Charlotte Ronson makeup bag, which is the safest place for such a tiny thing, really. My makeup bags are all used to hold tiny things and in the CR bag I have an even smaller bag that holds samples. The card is in a clean sample jar in that tiny sample bag, inside the CR bag which somehow is the only waterproof makeup bag I have.
And it's gonna stay there till I figure out how to attempt a file recovery.
So angry right now. I'd been good about not downloading, not even pics of Samantha, and then that fucking link was to a pdf instead of a webpage and I couldn't get the download to stop.
Well no more downloads now! Accidental or otherwise.
Womanlies in full effect. Yuck. Got some nice freebies from work tho. Those sales event things... this time the sale event directions sheet outright said the demos were for me! For my personal "trial use" I got a toothbrush and toothpaste, and a coupon for a free small mouthwash woot! I kept the directions sheet just in case tho. Cuz carrying a full size toothpaste & toothbrush to my locker might look weird on camera. And under the counter I found a neon pink lipgloss that had "beauty advisor sample" in a big sticker superglued into it. I also claimed a small pack of those facecloth things for when I'm too lazy to wash my face (meaning every night). The pack was already opened (cuz of the sales event) but the seal is flip cap thing so it's pretty tight.
And I bought chocolate. Hey, I'm bleeding from the crotch and I want chocolate!
