enough already… (multifarious miscellany (kitters)) by ami
Today has been one of those days that makes me wonder why I ever got out of bed to begin with, and I’m about to let the inner toddler in me out so I can throw a temper tantrum. You know those kinds of days, right? The ones where nothing actually goes drastically wrong, but nothing really goes smoothly, either. And it’s not even the annoyances themselves that have me seeing red. It’s the fact that they’re all happening on the same day. Combine that with the fact that I feel like I’m just in everybody’s way and a huge bother to anybody I talk to, and well… I’m thinking I should go back to bed.
I’ve been trying to get this out of my system all day. I attempted to journal and got as far as staring at a blank page. I tried comfort food, but then realized that eating half a dozen chocolate chip cookies probably wasn’t the healthiest thing in the world. I tried snuggling with the puppies, but they were far more interested in playing chase with each other. I tried crafting, but couldn’t focus. I tried deep breathing, but again couldn’t focus. I tried talking to various people, but all I got were snide comments, sarcastic remarks, and/or patronizing attitudes.
So, God, I’m calling a time out. I’ll call time in tomorrow morning.

Have you wanted to rant about something, but felt it was too mundane a story, or you're just not good at stories? Maybe you are really angry, but lack the ability to express your rage in a mixture of humor and angst that you feel my writing can accomplish.
Here's your chance.
1. Post your version of your story in the comments section. Explain why you think I need to rewrite it. The more descriptive the better, including side thoughts and the environment surrounding the incident. Links to public blog entries are fine.
2. Tell me if you want it vulgar, mildly suggestive, or avoiding vulgarty altogether. Vulgar will have violence, swearing, scatological references, and sexually inappropriate suggestions. Mildly suggestive will be less so, but possibly implicit. No vulgarity will avoid all swearing and sexual statements. No direct threats will be used.
3. I reserve the right to embellish the story to the point of mild inaccuracy, but I will keep my exaggerations within the confines of the essential plot. I will also post them publicly, so you may want to leave out real names or inciriminating events if you care about such things.
4. If I get a lot of stories, I may only do a handful of them. Don't be offended if you don't get picked.
This entry was based on the fact I am doing a lot of "wiating for an install" moments at work, plus the fact I did this on another board for someone else and it was cathartic. And I need the writing exercise.

bubble space, people. (multifarious miscellany (kitters)) by ami
I know I can’t possibly be the only person in the world who can’t stand when people stand too close to me in line. Strangers, I mean. It’s one thing if we’re on a crowded subway or something, but the line at the bookstore? Come on, now. I should be able to reach into my coat pocket without accidentally brushing up against the person standing behind me in line. Standing two inches away from me isn’t going to get you to the cash register any faster.
On a related note, I’m finished with all my Christmas present shopping. YAY! Now to finish the Christmas knitting…

i despise shopping. (multifarious miscellany (kitters)) by ami
Well, not all shopping. The husband and I have one of those abnormal couples that actually enjoy shopping together. No, the shopping I’m referring to is of the jeans variety. Or pants in general. I, along with every other female on the planet, cannot find pants that fit me. Ever. I’m too tall to be petite and too short to be average, and the waist is always completely wrong. However, one can’t live on two pairs of jeans and three pairs of work pants, so I had to bite the bullet and deal with crowds of people at the mall this morning. It took trips to three stores and entirely too many trips to fitting rooms, but I did finally find something worth buying. I so wish jeans would regenerate themselves - favorite pairs should last forever, regardless of how one’s body shape changes.
I also hate to admit that the whole Christmas atmosphere at the mall seemed almost appealing to me. I love Christmas and all, but it’s only the first weekend of November for crying out loud. Tomorrow we’re going to the Trans Siberian Orchestra concert, so I’ll be in even more of a Christmas spirit. I think part of me is looking forward to the holidays so much this year because we didn’t do anything last year, plus it’ll be our first Christmas in this house.
Oh, and for those of you who asked about the cake… it tasted like year old cake :P
PS: This scares me.

Seriously.
Somebody remind me that the act of forgiveness is not an instamagical on/off switch. Remind me that Sunday is not some sort of pass/fail test, in which any emotional reaction other than no reaction does not mean I suck.
Somebody turn the stupid side of my brain off :P

I find no redeeming qualities in Twitter. I’m not even interested enough to sign up: there’s nothing more to see than what’s already apparent from poking around on your own for 60 seconds. And I am 18. Gen-Y. A Millenial (admittedly, however, probably in the top 5% of this group as far as ‘net exposure [...]

Dear Daniel,
Applying to competitive colleges can be a stressful experience. There are applications, campus visits and interviews, personal essays, and teacher recommendations, not to mention the need to answer housing and financial aid questions.
Before you decide to just skip the whole “college thing” and go live [...]
