my armpit tastes funny

i finally signed up for the gym. i've been slipping friends a few bucks and getting them to get me two week guest passes for-ever. i think the reception people were starting to notice i had been going a long time as a guest so i finally decided to pay. turns out january is a good month to join a gym. their 200 dollar start up fee is only 20 this month... and 'cause i waited so long i get the rest of this month and half of the next month gratis. i don't know why half of next month, i guess because i printed yet another free pass of the interconnectoweb to use for 10 days and i had another 4 days left on another other free pass left.
i'm boring.
i hate looking for work. i hate interviews with more than 3 people asking me questions. i sort of hate the febreze smell spitter outer box mike got me for christmas too. i definitely hate that my parents are still quasi supporting me post university. also, that i have a week's worth of dishes and a whole lotta laundromatting to do.
one thing at a time...
falcons and eagles - what ever happened to survival of the fittest

i'm in a pretty huge hole right now. under employed student desperately seeks job to pay bills. i had this mystery interview on friday. i knew who the employer was, all else was a mystery. the interview was exactly a half hour after my 8 hour short staffed shift at the sub hut. i didn't think it was going to be that big a deal. 6 people, for a job that turned out to be the equivalent of managing a convenience store. the sad part - i doubt i'll hear from them in a good way. i was so tired and sweaty, and not in the mood to impress that many people.
somehow the local news managed to be, for them, in the right place at the right time. on friday, the caught a domestic disturbance on video that ended with the police shooting the husband to death. now they show the footage of this man's death every chance they get. it's sick. i'm also oddly drawn to watching it closely every single time it's on.
speaking of domestic disturbances, i ended up sleeping on the couch friday night because mike decided he'd take a swing at me when i got home from a night out. it was so stupid. he missed me, by the way... it started over me wanting to help him out by exfoliating his back while he brushed his teeth. how do we progress to blows from there? i don't know, i was sorta buzzed. all i know is that he didn't want his back exfoliated. by 8:00 when he was gone for work, i was more than happy to stretch my legs out in comfy bed. the whole ordeal wasn't a big deal, it's just the first time anything like that has happened to me, and there's no way in hell he's going to get to sleep in comfy bed or any bed of mine if he ever pulls shit like that again.
i've been pumping iron for the last few months. i'm a tiny force not to be reckoned with.
what else...
i went to value village yesterday, bought a poncho/shawl like thing, and then spent the evening unravelling it's knitted nastiness. i hate the poncho/shawl fashion trend thing that's happening right now, and the world is a better place without the one i destroyed. i then dyed the yarn with kool-aide in the microwave. stitch 'n bitch nation is coming in the mail next week so i'm gonna knit something rad... but not until after i finish this stupid satchel i've been working on since christmas day.
i'm a boring grandma.
