and then i'll go eat worms

I am irritated today. The weather is messing with my head in a literal sense. I'm on the precipice of a migraine, but I'm still doing the little dance around that line so I don't know if it's really going to happen and take me out, or just torture me like a sibling poking at me but never making contact whilst singing, "I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you." So if someone could wooden-spoon the barometric pressure into not not-touching-me, that would be great.

Today is one of those days that just reiterates that I do not belong here anymore. Aside from the friggin weather that sucks, I'm tired of cars in general. People in cars who have no business being out among other members of society, let alone behind the wheel of a car. People who bring their children to bookstores to run around screaming while they clap loudly for and at their children. (Bookstores are like libraries. Shut the fuck up.) People who don't know what the hell they want to order but insist on standing in line and asking a million questions at the register, even though all you want to order is a goddamn piece of diner cake but you can't because these two dippy bitches need to hear every detail about everything in the world that they could have easily read on the menu if they'd only stepped aside. Or hey, how about hiring some more people? Or people who work more quickly? (Dessert Gallery, I am looking at you. I walk out empty handed more often than not. I won't be walking in anymore.) And a "busy" period that involves no "busy" at all, yet I'm supposed to come in and do nothing. Newsflash, I can do nothing at home. A lot more comfortably. And you wouldn't have to pay me. Also, I want a self cleaning house, goddammit.

And why is getting older such a cruel joke? It's hardly fair. It's like my body is starting to betray me. I should not pee myself because I cough too hard! Uh, not that that's happened recently or anything. No, it's um, just an example. Yeah. The little wire-whiskers randomly popping up everywhere? Unfair. I realised last night that I actually do have a place that I could test out a particular wrinkle cream that was advertised during Project Runway. And hey, how about everything giving me heartburn? That's awesome. My parents used to joke about how getting older sucked so much. I know now that they weren't joking, I was just an asshole kid who didn't have to worry about it. Joke's on me.

Oh...you have your Captain Cranky Pants on too tight today...and I know that feeling!

When I feel that cranky, there is NOTHING that will help besides thinking of every single thing that would comfort me and then doing those things. And staying away from others, because Others will piss me off.

I hope by now (wasn't online much this weekend) you are feeling all better. I hope your weekend was GREAT, in fact!
