I finished my giant scorpion in minecraft today

It only took 4 months or so. And it's 100% legit.

Today my manager bought me lunch, and the delivery was super late because they screwed up the order so they ended up giving us three free appetizers. It was really weird of them to do because we weren't complaining or even paying attention to the time. But it was awesome none the less.

My hermit crabs are chirping and I have to get up whenever they do this because it means they're angry/annoyed/scared/excited/drunk. I just need to check to see if somebody's trying to murder somebody else because after 5 and a half years I still can't figure out what chirps mean what. (but I can tell with fire bellied toad's croaks)
So I go and look and we have GEC being himself, Citizen Snips face first in a hole in a log at the bottom of the sea and Mr. Snips is... Somewhere I dunno, but he's fine because he's not being harrassed so wheeeee.

I now own every classic James Bond movie, except for Never Say Never Again (the non-canon Thunderball remake), and the Peter Sellers version of Casino Royale. I still need the the Daniel Craig Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace and those other two movies to have a complete collection.

In other news, my dad got out of Rehab a few days ago.

Well, April's almost here. April and May are really unpredictable months for me, as is March. I feel like I'm inevitably going to screw up and let my emotions get out of hand, and I feel them welling up right now, but I'm still determined to make this year different. So far, this month has gone off without a hitch, but April gets pretty bad with depression. Usually March is when I start getting angry, and so far, I don't think I've legitimately freaked out and raged at anybody like I did last year yet.

I've been stressed about the upcoming months too. As another month ends, its closer and closer to me being unemployed for 2 years.

2 years? You can't even find a job at a Supermarket,or CVS,or something like that?

There must be something wrong with me because I detest love/kissing scenes in TV and movies. Not because there's sexuality being displayed, but because the foley guys apparently have to magnify the wet, smacking, popping sounds to 1000 times their original volume. But everyone else I know either doesn't mind or can't get enough of that intensity.

I'm convinced that I have misophonia. Chewing sounds drive me up the wall, so it only makes sense that loud kissing/smacking/slurping/wet thrusting sounds would do the same.

ETA: And the breathing. Goddamn, nothing sounds more forced than that breathing.

Not just you. Make out scenes annoy me in general, but the stupid smacking noises make me irrationally hate whoever's doing it.

I hate chewing sounds, coughing, and lip popping. Whenever I hear the latter, especially, I get an intense urge to resort to physical violence x: And I am certainly not a violent person.

I have a low tolerance for loud noises in general, too. I can't stand loud music, loud voices and sudden sharp noises can reduce me to tears. :/

I just can't stand loud people. I love guns, I love loud music, I love big fat loud trucks, but I hate those people that know how to control the volume of their voice but choose not to.

Coughing doesn't annoy me unless the person does it frequently. I try to be understanding, since I had a coughing problem for about three years. (It was all because of a vicious cold I had during one Christmas. I went to at least five different doctors over the course of those three years before I realized that it was actually very normal for me to have mucus at the back of my throat. It protects the throat, after all. After that, it was a matter of training myself to ignore the sensation at the back of my throat. Self-hypnosis was a lifesaver.)

But, ohhh, chewing sounds. Gum cracking, lip smacking, straw sucking at the last bits of droplets at the bottom of a glass... URGH. Just the other day, I sat with a coworker--a department manager and a grown woman in her 20s--who was chewing a sandwich with her mouth open. I could actually see the masticated contents around her tongue. And the way her lips popped every time she opened her mouth... Jesus and the Apostles, how can you grow up and not learn how to stop chewing like a fucking five-year-old?

Don't get me started on snoring. My husband's snoring often drives me to another room.

I'm strongly considering doing more self-hypnosis to reduce my sensitivity to the noises that annoy me.

I fucking hate it when people ask me this question. I live so far away from civilization that it would take my entire minimum wage paycheck to get to work every week. Also, these places don't hire college graduates, because they know you're not going to stick around for long. It's not that simple.

Oh man, I thought I was the only one who would cough all the time.

It gets horrible after a while. Sometimes, I'll just start coughing like I'm going to hack up a lung, then when I'm done, I'll start coughing again because of how dry my mouth will be. Then I'll start coughing because I'll somehow wind up choking on water. It's been a problem with me for yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaars, and I hated it since it started.

I just watched Oz: The Great and Powerful. It was meh. The story was good, and the effects were amazing, but the acting and most of the characters were weak. Especially Mila Kunis. Holy shit, she was bad. Her acting was as wooden as a plank, and hammy as bacon during the last two acts. Not to mention that her casting was even worse. Basically, she

Spoiler

turns into the Wicked Witch. She doesn't fit the character at all, and whenever she cackles, it's clearly not her laughing. Should I even mention her horrible makeup?

Actually, most of the actors weren't that good either. Aside from the little china girl's VA, there wasn't any really good actors. They try, though. Speaking of the little china girl, she has some amazing effects on her. I almost thought she was real a few times. She had some occasional integration problems, though (it's noticeable whenever someone picks her up.
I'm not saying I didn't enjoy the movie, I'm just saying that it could've been better.
Also, it's strange how Bruce Campbell is listed in the opening credits, even though he's only in the movie for about 20 seconds. I can see why this happened though. It's the same reason he's even in the movie in the first place. Sam Raimi.

I might watch it just to see James Franco awkwardly deliver his lines
