I check my friends list like every day and it never shows updates for some reason. So I am clicking on individual usernames and catching up.

I have an interview for a part time job finally, after quitting almost 3 months ago!!!!!!! As much as I love laying around not having to talk to anyone, it gets depressing pretty fast and my social skills atrophy to the point where I'm unable to speak to anyone I don't know without stuttering.

I decided to disable comments because really, I just want to use livejournal to shout about stuff and then forget about it. I'll just end up deleting all the entries eventually anyway!

Really struggling with paranoia over the last 6 months or so. It's way better since I left that awful job, but still some days I am not really sure if my thoughts and feelings are even normal.

At least I know my cat likes me!

It is the same dinosaur one that Lily Allen wore. Or should be, anyway. Never know with these Chinese eBay stores!!!

anime

liberty — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 00:18:54 GMT

I recently started to get back into watching anime. I will admit it's hard. I can't simply be satisfied with magical girl anime anymore. Maybe because I'm older? I need a deeper level.

Unfortunately most of the time this is fucking impossible, because Satoshi Kon is dead and most anime that tries to become complicated or interesting just turns into some clusterfuck.

When it's good it's great though. I always liked animation.

In the last few months I rewatched Revolutionary Girl Utena, and watched two shorter series called Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Princess Tutu.

I didn't really like PMMM. The story overly complicates itself and I think I could see it being way better in the hands of a different writer and director, which is a tragedy because it has such a good idea going for it.

I have a giant girl boner for RGU shit and always will, lol.

Finally, Princess Tutu is the finest piece of animation I have ever witnessed in my life. If you have not seen it, do it. It's only like 22 episodes, I think. The second season is kind of dark and it's really not what you'd expect from the art style. Really fantastic stuff.

I am starting my job training on the 4th if they can get my employee ID set up before then.

It's kind of a pain, the place is a 2 hour train ride away. I will have to get up at like 5:30 AM and won't be home until after 7PM. It's only two days, at least.

I put in the order for my uniform and am really excited that I only have to buy some shoes. Darren was grumpy about maybe having to pay to dry clean the jacket/slacks but I wouldn't have to do it often and really, who gives a shit? I get the uniform for free! And I get more than two sets of outfits, unlike Darren so I won't have to wash them all the time.

Lately I've been playing Rune Factory 3 on DS and it's really good so far. Classic Harvest moon with some cool random dungeon stuff thrown in. It's nice, I'd almost given up on Harvest Moon. Now hopefully there will be a RF game where I can play as a girl.

I was also playing Final Fantasy X on PS2 emulator and honestly teared up during some story sequences. That Otherworld opening is SO GOOD. The game in general is just fantastic.

My brother and his wife are going to separate. It's for the best, too. Now he can really enjoy Japan on his own and they can stop ruining each other's lives. Also she's a cunt and I'm glad to see the back of her.

I hope to see a more cheerful Spencer enjoying life from now on, especially in Japan. I hope my new job allows me to save enough money to make Japan the trip of my lifetime when Darren and I finally go. I don't want to fret about money and not do stuff because it's too expensive.

liberty — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 01:52:59 GMT

My brother is in the Air Force, and just got orders to Misawa Air Base in Japan.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misawa,_Aomori

He will be going in August 2011 and I am already really excited and am going to start saving for a trip there. It's kind of frustrating because we're already going to Oklahoma in the summer of 2011 for my friend's wedding and I know it will cost a lot for just the plane tickets. It just means we'll have to save for probably another year to be able to go to Misawa.

WHY are plane tickets so retarded expensive?????

I really want to go to Japan and always have. I want to enjoy my youth but I feel pressured to do shit like buy a car and save for a house. I know I need those things too, but I would much rather have a trip instead, as impractical as that is.

I really need to start my job ASAP already. I am bored and cranky and tired of being poor. I know I've probably posted about this before but it has taken SO LONG for me to be able to start enjoying my life and I'm still getting held up by issues like money. I'm just not like most people I guess, I want to be comfortable my entire life so I worry about stuff like owning a house and saving for retirement now even though I'm young.

I should really try to calm down though, worrying about not living life fast enough probably isn't doing me any good. Sigh.

a survey

liberty — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 00:59:26 GMT

I don't have a lot to say so here's a survey thing.

What three major things are you looking forward to right now?
+ My new job!!!!!!!!!!
+ A Christmas where we can afford to buy presents and not feel guilty about it.
+ my mother in law's chocolate christmas log cake.... thing. seriously so incredible

How many sexual partners would you consider to be a lot?
I mean it depends on the person really. I guess 5-10 in a lifetime sounds all right. I would be more concerned about someone who had multiple "serious relationships" since everyone I've known who jumps from relationship to relationship like that has serious emotional problems.

What do you watch on tv before 3PM?
Constant reruns of FRIENDS, various reality tv programs. I'm not into TV much.

What are you doing for Thanksgiving?
Nothing, don't really celebrate it and there's no point starting now since I moved.

How many people have you dated? Why? (picky, will date anyone, etc)
I've only had a real relationship with my husband. Other than that I went on a few dates and had a fling or two. It was all very boring.

Have you ever seen the movie, Waiting For Superman? If so, what did you think?
no

What have you been missing the most lately?
Oh god. Snowcones, getting high, McDonald's ice coffees, mountain dew, funnel cake, basically a giant list of food. I also miss hanging out with my friends a lot :/ It is really hard to make friends here. Everyone my age is married with a litter of children.

If you have a car, who bought it for you? If you don't, why not? What kind of car do you have/want?
couldn't really afford one. we don't need it right now anyway since Darren walks to work and I can take the bus. We borrow his parents' car when we need it also. Thinking about getting one now though!

Have you tried Mountain Dew White Out?
I would if they had it here :(

What's your favorite place to go in your city and why?
In Maesteg? I used to like the charity shop but they renovated it and it sucks now :/ I like to buy new nail polishes at Superdrug and have coffee at the cafe.

What are the best stores in your mall, in your opinion?
It's easily the Cadbury store. You can smell the chocolate from outside the store, it is like heaven.

Have your feelings about survey-taking changed since you first started? How so?
weird think to ask

What's the worst part about your job?
the worst thing about my last job at the post office was everyone who came in drunk or high and smelling like they'd never bathed in their lives. One fat bitch farted at the counter and I almost threw up, I had to walk to the back office to calm down.

Where do you do your banking? What does your bank card look like?
HSBC and now Barclay's as well. My credit card has the Welsh flag on it (a dragon). Pretty sweet!

Do you think losing your virginity is different for a girl than it is for a guy?
no shit.

What does your favorite accessory look like? And where did you get it?
the only jewelry I wear is my wedding ring, so that.

Is it harder for you to save money or spend money?
spend. I HATE buying stuff like clothes because I never know if I'll really like something unless I wear it a few times and end up wasting money ;_;

Have you ever stepped on a piece of glass?
probably.

What's the last song you listened to?
Girls Generation, "GENIE"

Do you have something you wear 24/7?
underwear

Is there an air conditioner in the room you are in?
no, we don't have air conditioning because it never gets hot enough.

Don't you hate when headphones break in one ear?
this happens to every pair I've ever owned :(

When was the last time you saw a friend?
10 minutes ago, before he went to bed. Darren is my only friend 8(

Do you automatically repaint your nails when they start to chip?
yes, I am very vain about my nails.

What is everyone in the house doing at the moment?
sleeping.

Has your house ever been broken into?
No, although I'm surprised because ALL my ex roommates used to leave the front door wide fucking open, in the middle of terrible neighborhoods.

Do you like spicy food?
yeah I'm cool with it

Are there a lot of pigeons where you live?
Nope . Seagulls though. <~~~ me too

What color are the last shoes you wore?
black ballet flats

Are you mad that they pushed back the Harry Potter movie premiere date?
I know if people read this I'll get shit for it, but I can't bring myself to care about the Harry Potter movies. They're always terribly written and terribly directed and Emma Watson is untalented and ugly and ruins the experience for me.

Do you ever get the urge to dance frantically and scream?
nah

Have you ever listened to Christian rock & pretended to be religious?
No, and I don't get why anyone would listen to Christian music to begin with. Just so terrible.

Are there any questions you're going to ask God once you die?
god isn't real

Do you prefer to call soft-drinks soda or pop?
zzzzzzzzzz

Are either of your parents abusive? Dont worry, I wont tell.
Yeah but that part of my life is over now so who cares? I am having a great time and loving life and they're too far away to bother me and will die soon.

Whats your favorite energy drink, if you drink any of those at all?
coffee.

How many people do you say you love in a day?
1, but not every day.

If you're a guy, do you wear boxers, briefs, or underwear?
:T

What's one thing in the same/opposite sex that attracts you the most?
in shape/muscular

Do you think you're personally attractive in other people's eyes?
I know for a fact that I am extremely attractive to black people and mexicans

How long does it take you in the morning to fix your hair?
If I count washing it and blow drying/styling which I don't always do, probably about 45 minutes to an hour.

Do you have an iTunes account? Or is it just a waste of time?
yeah, it's called utorrent ha ha ha

What is your sexual orientation?
bisexual or something probably.

How much drama does it take for you to freak out?
a lot, and I've unfortunately had to deal with a lot of drama before. not anymore though and rarely anyway since I tend to ignore/avoid people who stir up shit.

What time is it in the area you are now?
almost 1 AM

Do the holidays depress you or make so very cheerful?
Depress me usually, although I'm getting better. I've just always had to deal with them not really meaning anything, and struggling to avoid people asking me what I'm doing during them when the answer has always been nothing. Now though, Christmas and such feel good and I feel like it's something I can look forward to :)

What color are the sheets on your bed? Are they colorful?
cream. I'd like some more colors though.

So we went to Amsterdam and had a pretty great time. The first night we got in late so we just went out to eat. Darren also surprised me with this ring:

http://www.clogau.co.uk/i/OLR/OLRz.jpg

I guess he got it months ago as a surprise birthday present. It is my wedding ring. Since when we got married our bank account was hurting pretty bad from all the visas and other such horseshit, we just decided to wait til I got a job before buying one. Lol, then I got laid off so you see how well that worked out 8(

We had a really fun time and I would go again, just not this time of year. It was cold as balls and rained a lot one of the days we were there. There was a lot of stuff we didn't have time for though, so maybe one day we'll go again. A weekend trip is perfect. Once I get tired of being there, it's time to go home!

I also managed to use the power of my mind alone to hold back my period all weekend, when it was supposed to start on my birthday. Kick ass.

already

liberty — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 12:07:32 GMT

So long story short, my job laid me off because they were too cheap to pay me the £92 for working 16 hours a week. Yes, this is the real reason told to me by my boss. They "can't afford" to pay me, so no more job!

BUT they still want to be able to call me to cover whenever they need it, which is fucked up. They called me the other day to work Thursday and Friday, even though I've told them about ten times that Friday is the day we're leaving on our trip. So, I said I'd work Thursday.

Then this morning I woke up to 8 missed calls on my phone and two texts asking me if I could work from now til close? I have shit to do, so I had to say no. I'm glad too, because it pisses me off they call me before 10 AM. You laid me off after having that job for FOUR MONTHS, and then expect me to work illegally for cash when you're shorthanded? Fuck you, too.

I really hope the pool hires me as a receptionist, it would be a great job and I'd be able to tell these people to stop calling me because I can't work for them anymore.

I just need to go on my birthday trip and not think about this stuff anymore.

liberty — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 19:54:45 GMT

people have started to ask me when Darren and I are having kids. I always say, oh not any time soon. And then I tell them my coil is good for ten years, so why rush?

I know they don't believe me, they tend to give me advice about life with kids no matter how I phrase my response. It's OK.

People will always see someone who chooses not to have kids (even if they're just choosing to delay them for awhile) as a selfish asshole. But really, is there anything wrong with that? I had a pretty shitty childhood and never got to do a lot of the things other kids get. I always stayed in my room reading the same books and playing the same games because what else did I have? I maybe at one time wanted friends but a lifetime of solitude makes you the kind of person other people have difficulty understanding.

So, my life now is about having new experiences and giving myself all the things I missed out on. Vacations, the food I want, laying in bed extra hours on the weekend, being lazy if I don't feel like cleaning, buying myself presents if I feel like it. I don't need to justify anything to anyone, or curb my desires to teach someone else how to be responsible.

Every day I live here with Darren I just feel so free. I never was able to put into words the thing that made me feel so miserable no matter where I lived or what I did, but I understand now it was just me feeling trapped. But now, every pound we put into savings and every trip we take and every day I wake up in MY HOUSE (even though we rent), it is like I am being born again.

I never have to deal with my asshole family again, I never have to work like a slave just to pay the bills, I never have to live with some idiot I can barely stand and I NEVER have to listen to anyone tell me what to do ever again.

Having kids would destroy that feeling. I could probably still do all the things I wanted to do even if I had them, but I would FEEL like I was being forced into a situation. And I know I would become the miserable sack of shit I used to be, and I never want to be that person ever again.

Now that I have a job, I could actually spend money supporting developers by purchasing a few games here and there. I would REALLY have loved to get the Persona 3 Portable package for example, because I love Atlus and I want that fucking Junpei hat, lol.

But the problem is, I live in a place that just doesn't get a lot of shit released. At least not stuff that I want :( Like my Japanese schoolgirl sims and obscure JRPG DS remakes. And NO WAY am I paying outrageous import tax when my game passes through customs. It really isn't worth it.

Stuff like region locking is a problem, too. Why buy a PAL PS3? That is just stupid. If the 3DS is region locked I'll be waiting to purchase it in the US.

At least they don't censor as much as a lot of other European countries.

I'm trying to use this more, but I am so lazy.

Been picking up a lot of hours at work so I am looking at clothes. Bought some decent jeans the other day! Really like the fit and even though I can never get anything to fit my waist (I have a huge ass and a tiny waist), a belt solves enough of the problems in this pair. They look so cute! I also found a great jacket from the thrift store.

That place (Barnardo's) is kind of pricey but it has some nice things. It is always hard to go there though, the greasy volunteer cashier girl just stares at me the whole time I browse. It is weird. I assume because I'm American? In my fantasy it's because I'm the trendy hipster she has always dreamed of being.

I got all the days off for my birthday trip I asked for. I'm REALLY excited. I know it kind of seems sad, going to Amsterdam. But it is a perfectly legitimate place to visit, even though I will also be smoking again (for the first time in a year) while there, Lol. Darren and I are both really excited for the Van Gogh museum.

It makes me sad, though. I know I will love it and that my friends would love it if they were there, too. I am not really someone who enjoys clubbing or partying a lot, but I do with my friends. We always had a good time no matter where we were, and were always the life of the party. Jared in particular I know would enjoy a city with such a huge gay scene (and drugs). Sigh :/

It is just so hard to make friends anymore. I am not at a job with a lot of people, and everyone my age has kids or lives a life too debauched for me anymore. I just can't hang around with people who always drink or do hard drugs or fuck everyone and never sleep or eat.

See? I try to write a journal entry and it starts off one thing and ends up another. :{

Today, a young man came into my work. I couldn't tell how old he was. His voice was still kind of high but he was as tall as me, and he had some sort of bank card so he had to be at least old enough to work. You just never know with boys, though.

Most kids this age are obnoxious or addled by puberty, but every now and again you see one that is laid back and confident. Not arrogant or loud, but just very adult and articulate. They joke and laugh and are polite without trying to obnoxiously hit on me or ask me a billion questions about being American. They also don't have that built-in pervy way of flirting that old men do, that just makes you feel bored.

Honestly he wasn't even attractive or anything, but I just felt so shy and awkward. At 25 I still sometimes feel confused in social situations, and some suave kid comes in and just makes me feel worse, lol. It's lucky I am not normally affected this way by flirting, because I am totally useless when I am.

Today I smashed my finger in the safe door at work. Everyone was smelly again too :/

I mean I've worked some weird places, and I've always lived in areas populated with rednecks so of course a lot of customers I've served over the years have smelled bad, but...

I guess I will just never understand how hard it is for some people to bathe themselves. I figure we live in a modern world, soap is less than a dollar/pound/whatever and lasts for months, it shouldn't be that hard. But I guess I am asking too much.

Tomorrow we're going to go see Inception at the theater. We're going to go out to eat, too. I haven't been out of the house much lately because we still haven't gotten the tax credits in so we don't have a lot of extra money floating around, so it will be nice to get dressed cute and have a good time. I think I might have some drinks also :3

Games I have been playing lately: Persona 3 Portable, Left 4 Dead 2

I love dat Persona~~~ I find I can only play long-winded JRPGs on handheld anymore. It's just so time consuming and boring otherwise. I like to be able to sit on the couch or take a break and put the psp in sleep mode when I am done playing.

I had some pretty terrible mood swings last night and I am wondering if the IUD is to blame. I read that even the copper ones can give you some sort of imbalance and affect your moods. Other than that no issues really.

I thought the cousin's boyfriend we met at the birthday party was kind of a tool. A little bit too cheery, and was nagging at Birthday Girl as if he was her dad. I know a 16 year old is still a kid and still needs guidance, but leave that up to her mom! You didn't come into their life to be her new dad, you came in it to fuck her mom so just do that and leave the discipline to her mother.

I finally have my own drawer at work so no more being over or under as far as cash/stamps goes. The job is so easy and even though I really don't go out of my way to work hard, I am still great and outperform the two Welsh employees there. It makes me have little respect for them but I know they can't help it. We just have different expectations and feelings about work -- they're used to doing as little as possible to get through the day and it is fine by everyone, and I am just used to having to fight to keep my job every time I turn up for a shift.

Did you know, here if you call in sick for work you still get paid? A woman at my job didn't work for TWO WEEKS because was off "sick". Amazing.

coils

liberty — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 12:47:14 GMT

Updating a lot lately because I'm bored, or not bored. I can't figure it out.

Got a lot of shit going on lately. Today I am going to get the copper coil put in, after months of waiting. I know it will also be month before the doctor gives me the OK to go off condoms just to make sure I don't get an infection, but the idea of finally being free feels so good.

I know there is always a chance I could still get pregnant on the coil and if I did, it would be worse (ectopic pregnancy), but it still just helps me breathe easier.

This weekend Darren is taking me to Swansea to go to charity shops :3!!! I think he feels bad that we haven't really been able to go a lot of places because of gas costs and us needing to save money.

Also Sunday is a relative's 16th birthday and we're all invited. I know she really loves Spirited Away so I got her the Princess Mononoke DVD. I opted for the best English script/dubbing out of all the films (IMO). It was also the first Miyazaki movie I ever watched. She has the same sort of fascination with Japan I did when I was that age so I can sympathize. She seems normal enough so she will probably grow out of it. Especially since the UK they don't have a lot of that shit floating around.

It's also a chance to meet her mom's new boyfriend (her mom is Darren's cousin) which everyone in the family is excited about. She is even moving to Mid Wales to live with him taking the girl with her. Apparently she has been in a lot of relationships and made a lot of poor decisions (like having a child at 19, lol). I feel weird knowing about all the family gossip but people keep telling me it! Lol.

Now to the doctor's~~~

passports and visas

I guess the passport renwal form I submitted to the Embassy (to get one with my new last name) had an issue with the photo size? So I have to resubmit new photos. They did not send back the whole application though! Thank goodness. It cost £10.50 to send that shit Royal Mail Special Delivery.

Yesterday I started playing Darkside Chronicles with Darren. It is honestly really fun! I never thought I would enjoy a rail shooter but I like it so far. I think next we (or just I) might try Sin and Punishment finally, so we can play the sequel when it comes out this year. I love Treasure.

I got a job at the Post Office in town. It pays decent and even though I'm only contracted 16 hours I can pick up all the shifts I want since I guess everyone is lazy or has too many parental responsibilities to go to work. I probably won't end up with more than 25 hours a week though, which is pleasant. I don't like work.

There isn't much mail handling involved. It's more like a place where people pay bills and take out welfare money... in that respect it reminds me more of working at a grocery store again than anything else (since every place I worked did a lot of that).

I have to walk every day which is fine, but christ is it humid lately. Before I even get to work I am a sweaty stinky mess. I try to dress nicely but there is only so much I can do, you know?

I am still struggling to grow my hair out. it is at an awkward length right now and just touches my shoulders, so it swarms all over my neck like an animal and I can't put it behind my shoulders since it just comes back. UGH it is a nightmare in the heat.

I bought a new hair straightener/curler on the internet and when it comes in I'll review it. From what I've seen on youtube it is amazing. Will really help give me the whole "beachy" waves I've been struggling to achieve with the limited tools I have (had to leave all my shit behind when I moved).

I could take courses and do volunteer work at the same time. I don't think it would take more than a year to get the qualifications. Which is more than I could say for the US, hur hur. If I could find a part time job that didn't make me want to kill myself, this might just work out. I just get stressed out really easy about this stuff. I am glad Darren is here to talk me off a ledge about everything every day, ah ha ha. :)

Going to a yoga workshop tomorrow and then leaving for the airport when I get home. I am so ready to be warm in the sun for a few weeks. I hope to get a nice tan and get the sun to lighten my hair a bit. I'm looking too much like a cave troll lately.

I have to do a lot of calling around to schools and going to the job centre to drum up "proof" I have been applying to places or I can't get a NI number. The amount of bureaucratic horse shit I have to put up with is really astounding. I wish I lived a few hundred years in the future, where (I hope) nations actually make use of the technology available and I wouldn't have to constantly deliver physical copies of paperwork and what not.

Tuesday we are going to book our honeymoon. I think we decided on going to some Greek island. I just want to get away and have a good time and stop thinking about all this stuff. I don't even care if we get trapped there if in the next few weeks that other volcano, Katla, erupts. As long as my flight takes off, I don't die, and I get to the beach, nothing else matters.

I am going out with some neighbor ladies tonight. It seems nice but I don't understand why everyone seems confused as to why I don't do more social stuff. Everyone I know is a good 15 years older than me, at least, usually a lot more. And they all have kids, and their lives revolve around that. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but I seriously have more in common with their kids than with them.

Now that I am married am I supposed to be only hanging out with other married bitches? Because that seems unfair. I am 25, I want friends my own age who have similar lifestyles. I certainly don't want to hang out with older women and be constantly badgered about when we're having kids.

A lot of the time I like being a woman, but it is SO HARD to find other women who have the same hobbies or interests or casual approach to life that I do. I had some really good friends in Oklahoma and I miss them a lot. I hope I can find some here but so far all the young women I meet are more interested in dressing like skanks and drinking 8 pints of hard cider as fast as they can in an attempt to catch a man than they are anything else.

EDIT: When I say skank, I mean actually dressing like a street walking prostitute. I need to start taking pictures because the outfits I have seen since I moved here are actually disturbing. Tights as pants with NO UNDERWEAR, skirts an inch below vagina level, etc etc. It's sickening.

IUD

At 10 am I have a doctor's appointment to ask about getting an IUD. I am excited to not have to worry about getting accidentally pregnant, but scared about the insertion and side effects of this thing.

They grounded all flights until tomorrow, but no one can really tell if they'll be able to fly tomorrow either. Darren's dad said something about the volcano erupting again, so it could extend this bullshit into the time we were looking at going away (3rd or 4th week of May).

we're still not sure where we're going, but anywhere we go would be affected by the ash. I guess this just means I have that much more time to look for a bathing suit, double ugh

Today I woke up and saw that Darren hid creme eggs all over the house as an Easter egg hunt for me! Lol, cute. He asked me not to eat any chocolate before he got home from his class at 2, but I'll be damned if I'm doing all this hard work and not eating a few eggs as a reward.

happy easter everyone :3
