You’re not too jewish to worship jesus are you??

Lah. Wasn’t called off work last nite, but was tonite. Of course. Since I DIDN’T sleep yesterday and I DID sleep today. *rolls eyes* The nite was quiet and uneventful til 5am, when we got an admission, of course. Which is the worst time, nightshiftwise, to come in, cuz that’s when the busy part of the morning starts anyways. So, add an admission to it and it just stresses everyone out. Oh well. And of COURSE she had THREE insurances to precert. Argh. Thankfully one was straight medicare, which doesn’t require anything. Yaaaay.

And then one of the morning shift ppl didn’t show. So Jan was on the kids unit by herself, since they’ve been running with only 2 staff. There were only four kids this morning, so it wasn’t too bad. I hung out til staff arrived and then I left. Did laundry for a few hours (six loads, oi vey. And I STILL have more. Tho, one load this morning and at least 1-2 loads that i have left are sheets and blankets, so. I tend to let those all pile up til I have no more clean ones. Oops.)

Anyways. I came home and took my meds and went to bed. Woke up, read a bit, watched a few episodes of South Park, watched the fireworks, and am going to now continue with South Park. Then maybe some Sims. Sims 2, rather. I’m getting more into it now. I am not a fan of the 3D games. I dunno, gimme good ol’ flat Mario Bros or even semi- dimensional Sonic. But the whole turning all around, having a zillion different views…just confuses me. Or overstimulates my brain or something. But I’m getting better. And I saved 90% of my picture files to disc. Only filled a cd and a half, I was surprised…tho I didn’t save all of them to disc, so. Then I deleted all those off the harddrive. Burnt the rest of AJ’s music to disc for her and deleted a bunch of those files. Not all of them, but about 2GB’s worth. So my computer’s running a tad faster now. Or at least Sims 2 is.

I think I need to buy one of those video guitar things, to learn how to play. I think I learn better by observing sometimes. Wondering if there’s any way to make it hurt my fingers less, or if I’m doing something wrong. But I don’t think I am. I just think the pads of my fingertips are really fleshy and sensitive. My hands feel weird with my fingernails trimmed. They were quite long, and actually rather strong and healthy- which is why they were long. heh. I don’t every do anything to them ‘cept the occasional chewing. My mum and sister would always make faces at me, cuz they’d do the whole acrylic rigamarole, and I’d do nothing and my nails would be as nice as theirs. *shrugs* Beauty is wasted on me sometimes I think. I think it just annoyed them cuz I didn’t -care- that my nails were nice or whatever. Oh how they’d try to girly me up. Fingernail polish and mum would give me manicures when they were redoing theirs and all that stuff. heh. I did wear nail polish for a long time. Much to mum’s dismay, it was usually black, blue, purple….any number of odd splarkly or unconventional colours. Generally bought for me and/or borrowed from my sister. *grin* Mum still harps on H, who still gets her nails done (Well, she does them herself) but mum is forever like “PINK. Why can’t you just wear PINK or some NORMAL colour????” when H’s are bright yellow or green or whatever. heh. So H put on a really wild magenta-y sparkle colour and she was like “Seee??? Pink!!!” Mum just rolled her eyes and shook her head and sighed. hehe. She certainly didn’t get girly girls.

Well. Back to southpark to see if they solve the mystery of Spontaneous Combustion. WoOt.

heh. Speaking of spontaneous combustion. I was eating some chexmix and more of my tooth chipped off. Hooray for having a sharp stump (is that an oxymoron??) of dead tooth rooted in my gums. *sigh* Hooray for dentists who don’t accept public assistance insurances. People are always making fun of like, rednecks and stuff, for not having teeth. And it’s not cuz they’re any like, grosser or unkempt than the rest of the world. It’s just…dental care is NOT affordable.

Dental care is ridiculous, and it’s mostly because they overcharge like crazy, so people who have insurance get it talked down, so then they charge more for people who DON’T have it. endless cycle. you can turn off the 3D rotation thing and have it set to “like sims 1” in options. don’t know if that’s what it’s called, but close.

…nope dental care is *not* affordable… (says me with my stump of tooth cracking off more the other day & me actually being grateful for that as it doesn’t actually slice my cheek now 🙂

Why did pink ever become *the* color for nails? I don’ tmean for your mom alone, but just in general? I think some of the darker colors actually look better. *shrug*

have someone who really knows how to play have a look at your guitar to make sure the action is not set too high. i think way too many beginners are put off by guitars that are simply un-playable. (the problem is made worse by the fact that cheap guitars marketed for “beginniers” are often almost impossible to play.)
