Ahhh.. I have found my weakness.. My downfall..
Yeah.. It sucks... Not even I am immune to the bullshit...
I have caught the cold from hell... Lets hope it stays as only a cold..
I truly feel like shit and It's been a VERY long time since I've been sick like this. Normally I get sick like this on Jan 2nd. No I'm not making that up. I usually party on New Years Eve. It's usually the one time a year we actually do party and we usually party outdoors. It has not failed me yet. Every year I get sick on either Jan 1st or Jan 2nd. Twice I've ended up in the ER on Jan 2nd w/ an extremely high fever and my throat almost swollen shut and most other times I just end up in the drs office. I can be feeling completely fine New Years Eve and with in a day or two I'm extremely sick. Funny thing or maybe not is that I don't even have to party New Years Eve to get sick. The years I was pregnant or breastfeeding I didn't party yet I still ended up in the doctors office a few days later w/ strep throat. Most of the time it's strep throat. A few times it's actually ended up being the flu. So we'll hope this sticks to being the cold from hell.
It all started with what i'm calling the black friday from hell... For some fucked up reason I let my judgment slip and I failed to listen to my instincts and do what I knew was best for me. Instead I let the years of my sister and mom pressuring me get to me and I decided to actually go shopping with them on black friday. This was a bad idea from the start. I HATE shopping. It's not my thing. I hate people.. Sorry I do.. It's the truth. Even more I hate people in groups. Or shall I say in mobs. Even more I hate crazy psycho people who think shoving and pushing and running and being stupid is worth a 20 dollar cut on anything. News Flash... IT'S NOT!!!!! Not even the electronics that make up my heaven...
Now see it wasn't so bad at first. I can handle the getting up by 3 am. I didn't even go to sleep Thursday night. That wasn't a problem. I'm used to that. The first place we went was to Khols. Wonderful right? Yeah.. Whatever.. Nothing real wonderful about it really. It's just a store. People weren't going insane there. Maybe they just hadn't warmed up yet. It was pretty chilly outside. My mom got the last big telescope they had. She had been after it for 2 years now. She finally got it and so we left there and headed to Target.
Yeah.. FUCK THAT!!!!!! That's were insanity lives and breathes and probably breeds. It was fucking insane. Listen up peeps if you were at Target that morning and you pushed or shoved or yelled at anyone.. I mean this exactly how it sounds. YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT!!!! There is no other way around it. There is no need to act that way. Watching the masses act like fucking fools just furthers my belief that people are fucking stupid. It just backs up what i've been saying all along. First we waited outside while they had ONE fucking door open letting people in one at a time. People were bitching about buggies and how slow shit was moving and a radio station was there playing crap music passing out Donuts or some shit and then the news was there.. Seriously.. when shopping brings out the news.. Society has problems!! There are bigger things the news could be covering other than people acting like idiots on black friday. This again just furthers my beliefs in society and people in general. *shrugs*
Once inside... The insanity grew. It was seriously a huge fucktoid of problems. I'm pretty certain there were many laws broken and maybe the fire code too. I was surrounded by mass confusion and idiotic people. This was a massive problem to start with. THen my mom and sister walked off and left me to my own defenses. I'm not sure where they thought this was a good idea. It's pretty much a good idea NOT to leave me alone with people acting stupid b/c my reactions are rarely good. Not only did they leave me alone but they decided to do it near the electronics and toy departments.. Oh yeah HUGE mistake. I had to go through the biggest mass in the store to get out of it. Traffic was at a standstill people were yelling over the confusion and the people working there were standing there shellshocked. And I was counting to ten and from ten and breathing deep trying to control my anger and my instinct to hurt people.
When traffic stopped infront of me for the 10th time a lady rammed her buggy into my ankles. She not only did this once but she did it twice. Then when I finally thought I was going to get out of the bullshit traffic stopped again so people could yell like morons again and then the lady rammed into my ass. At this point I swear you could probably see steam coming out of my ears and my knuckles were white from holding onto the buggy so tightly. I was fighting to keep myself in check... THEN she made the mistake of ramming her buggy into my ankles again. That was it.. I couldn't take it anymore. I was livid and was pretty damn sure I was going to claw her eyes out since she obviously wasn't using them to see in the first place or at the very least remove her arms from her body so she wasn't able to push the buggy into anyone else again. My rage was flowing freely by that point but when I turned around it was a little old lady who looked like my grandmother. Now I KNOW she knows what she was doing. I KNOW she knew good and well I was livid and was prepared to ram her head into the endcap closest to us because the look on her face told me so, but.. I had to stop myself. I couldn't imagine hitting my grandmother or anyone else doing that to her no matter how big of a bitch she was. So I flashed her a huge go to hell look and turned around and demanded the person infront of me get the fuck out of my way NOW. Finally the sea parted and they let me through.
I swear we were there FORFUCKINGEVER!!!!! I was never more ready to leave target than I was at that point. I'm not sure I'll ever step foot in that store again. The check out lines were horrendous people were idiotic and the only good thing was getting a shit load of towels for 1.50 ea..
After that we headed maybe to the mall? I don't know.. All I know is that by 2pm we had hit Kohls, Target, Bealls, JcPenney's, Bath & Body Works, Old Navy, Lowes, Walmart, Books A Million, and a few other lil stores in the mall that I can't exactly remember. I have no idea WHY people do that. THe savings IMO are so not worth it. People are idiots. I have no idea why I went. I knew what would happen and I knew how I'd feel about it and how much i'd hate it. NOTHING has changed. I'm just even more cemented in my belief that black friday is the spawn of satan and that it makes people evil.
I walked for 12 hours straight through bullshit and madness and people crying and yelling and screaming and what pissed me off the most was seeing people dragging their kids out in the shit at 4 am w/ it fucking cold as hell to stand in line at a fucking store. Sorry your 6 month old child has no business out at 4 am in the fucking cold so you can save 10 bucks off a video game.. thats insane and YOU need your head checked.. NOt to mention the lack of clothing that was on the child.. insane! and to think i'm the one who sees a shrink and is on meds..
Moving on..
By the time I got home I was tired. So very fucking tired.. And my head hurt and my feet were killing me. I went home and slept. I woke up later that night to eat and went back to sleep. I slept till almost noon the next morning. I was so sore and tired. My body felt like I had been hit by a mack truck. Saturday night wasn't any better than Friday night. I felt worse and Sunday I was again worse. By Monday I had the beginnings of a cold and here I am today even worse than yesterday. I will never ever ever ever again subject myself to that fuckery. It's not worth it. I didn't even get to hit anyone for acting like a fucktard.. But yet I'm sick now.. blah.. Shit happens..
Anyhow so If i'm not around much as I havent been since Wed night.. It's because i'm recovering from a hellish cold. My throat is on fire and my asthma is trying to take me out.
Because i've been so out of touch w/ my usual reality (read that to say twitter, bloggerland, etc..) I feel so out of the loop lately.. if i've missed something important.. fill me in please.. Otherwise I leave you with a fic rec...
1. In The Blood by fragilefoxes.- fragilefoxes is a collaborative effort by onepushyfox and afragilelittlehuman. These two ladies are magnificent.Truly.. In The Blood is a work in progress as of right now its only 7 chapters long but so far its great.
The summary given by the authors is :
After 91 years, Bella returns to Chicago to find a mate. Edward mourns the loss of his humanity and his abandonment by his maker. Can they overcome their dark pasts and forgive? Rated M violence & lemons . E, B, Em, R, C, & Es. AU/OOC.
What I can tell you: You haven't seen Bella done like this, nor have you seen Emmett played like this. I LOVE this Emmett and I think you will too!
2. Last Love Found by Oracle Vas - Cris is a great author. This story is the sequel to her story First Love Lost. It's a Jasper/Bella story so if thats not your thing you should steer clear. Currently 34 chapters.. AH
Author's Description:
When everything a person wants is wrong for them, what choice should they make? Should they stick with the bad and hope for the best or choose the good and live with the pain of losing what they want most? I didn't have an answer. All I had was Jasper.
What I can tell you: If you haven't read First Love Lost you need to read it first. I fell in love with this story of course after falling for First Love Lost. I guess truly people either love her Jasper or they hate him. It's easy to do both. He doesn't play the hero. He plays the fucked up bad boy with a history that has screwed him more than once, but truly everyone in the story is pretty fucked up. They've all got issues and it can be pretty emotional. As for me. I love this Jasper. From the beginning I saw more in him than just a messed up controlling bad boy. It's really worth reading. Even more so if you enjoy Jasper stories! I do believe this is one of the few stories I've hated Carlisle in.
Now... I haven't gotten any writing done since last Tuesday b/c of the holiday and all the cooking and preparing and then getting sick. I hope to be able to finish ch 5 this week. It is half done. I've just been so worn out and feeling like shit i've been literally unable to write.
