There's this guy at work who like, seriously needs to chill. Now I've received a few comments on Floretta since my new job. Of course it's to be expected. Most of which are as, "Aw how cute," or, "That's adorable."
Well anyway, so this other guy asks me, "Is that your car with the flowers on it?" And I'm all, "Yeah." So he's like, "Dude, you need to get rid of those flowers and put some x* on it instead." To which I replied, "Aw but I like my flowers, heh heh. To each their own, hm?" So I got a chuckle out of our conversation and continued about my business.
Having since forgotten about that, he brought it up again a few days later. "Dude, seriously, those flowers have got to go." I must've given a puzzled look for a split second before I realized what he was talking about. I smiled and shrugged and again replied, "Well, to each their own. Flowers are kinda my thing I guess," and that was that.
Now today, a few days since that, he brought it up yet again. "Hey, you can't park there.** People are gonna see all those flowers and [yadda yadda yadda]." Now I could have played it silly and been like, "Oh my goodness! It never occured to me while I was decorating my car that other people might see it too! What was I thinking?" But I instead smiled and tilted my head and asked, "What's wrong with the flowers?" To which his response was slapping the palm of his hand to his forehead, rolling his eyes, and saying, "Oh my gosh."
Alright, seriously. The first time it was a lil' amusing. The second time it seemed a little personal. And this time... well now whenever I'm within a short enough distance to him he just gets this aura of hostility around him.
There's no doubt in my mind he's going to bring it up a fourth time before Independence Day weekend, and I seriously need to act quick before he becomes the next Pete Santoro. I get the feeling he's homophobic and insecure about it, which is understandable and probably a good thing I didn't jokingly say, "But my boyfriend adores me for it!" But there's no excuse for him to repeatedly bash me like this.
The next time he brings it up I'll say to him firmly yet not too harsh, "Look, it was funny the first couple of times, but please stop bringing this up." If, however, he continues to go at it (or lets it go but brings it up again another day) I'll just go to his supervisor about it. He's creating a hostile work environment and it needs to stop. And I figure the best approach is to talk to him directly first, and bring it to the authority second.
Anyway, I just needed to rant a little. So there.
*I forget what x was, but it was something more manly.
**I had parked in the first spot once you pull into the parking lot; highly visible to all who pass by.

Tapioka☆ is a perfect place!
My first Jacob's Ladder.
( A few more pictures... )
Sorry for four Animal Crossing related posts in a row, haha. There'll be something different next time. I promise!
(Bonus points to whomever can reference the subject line!)

( Sneak peek at a panel of a short comic I'm working on... )
About halfway done, I'm hoping to have it posted by Wednesday.
Many "Awww!!"s will ensue. |

I officially love you now, Monique. You know exactly how I like it.
In other random news, I've been sneezing a lot lately. I don't know why. It can't be allergies, because there's no eczema to back that up.

Just finished playing Space Channel 5 and its sequel in honor of Ulala's Birthday. I was way overdue; it's been, what... three days since I last played now? Haha, no, but in all seriousness it has been awhile.
I've still got it though.
I swear, nobody whose name isn't in the end credits should know the game as well as I do.
Edit [08MAY09 @ 19:56] - It wasn't until I went to bed that night that I realized Ulala's Birthday is on the 30th of May, not the 31st. I now officially fail at Space Channel 5.

-Old couples who you can tell still love each other are by far the best thing ever.
-My Jigglypuff and Victreebel hit level 100 in Pokémon Diamond. Beedrill is next on my list.
-A few days ago I tried Strawberry Fanta the very first time. I was a fool to be skeptical about it all these years.
-Three more days until new bugs and fish are available to catch on Animal Crossing, yay.
-I recently discovered that a hot pink shirt and black pants (or skirt) makes for a very sexy combo.
-Ulala's Birthday is just around the corner. I think I might make it tradition to play through Space Channel 5 every May 31.
-I had a dream the other night that I was back in high school, and there were hundreds, nay, thousands of cheerleaders. I am holding a grudge against my alarm clock.
-I'm going through another Guild Wars addiction phase thanks to the somewhat new Zaishen Challenge Quest update.

As recently mentioned in ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/newsinfo.gif) news, if you've got a Permanent or Paid Account, or have had an account for at least 5 years, you can send up to five LJ's 10th Birthday v-gifts for free. I went ahead and sent myself one, haha.
If anyone else really wants one, I've still got four to give away. Otherwise I'll likely take them myself. XD Just lemme know and I'll probably give you one.
Likewise, if you qualify and have nobody else you'd care to give one to, send one (or heck, even a few) my way. They're absolutely free, so why not, hm? Gimme. :3
Edit [26MAY09 @ 21:59] - Remaining cakes I have to give: 3

It happened again. Well, sort of; it wasn't raining this time, and the driver of the other car was facing the spooky woods as she rolled outta there and clearly not paying attention to what's happening on the road, so foreseeing this well in advance, I was able to gradually come to a comfortable, nonpanicky stop. This is getting a little ridiculous though. This weekend I'm gonna bring this to the leasing office's attention and one, find out which side does have the right-of-way (Who knows, maybe I'm in the wrong. If that's the case I'd like to know so I do not continue to make this mistake.), and two, find out if they could place a stop sign on the side that doesn't so that other people don't encounter this problem, if they haven't before.

Happy Mother's Day! We celebrated yesterday at my parents' with gifts and dinner and whatnot. Also, I received a belated Birthday gift from Stephen Kelly.
A stuffed Doduo! My life is complete. And if you did not know that this was the one thing I've wanted the most for the last seven years at LEAST then you don't even know who I am.
And by dusk we randomly decided to play with~ ( SIDEWALK CHALK! )
The beach house vacation draws near. Andy is happy.
Also, thanks to all who wished me a happy Birthday last entry. :3

Today is my Birthday. I finally understand why my older friends treat their Birthdays as any other day. Last year's 25 was kind of a big deal, but after that it's sort of meh.
( But! That's not to say I didn't receive awesome gifts. )
Yay~ Happy Birthday, me. :3 I may add more stuff under the cut as an edit if anyone surprises me with some gift art, a v-gift or two, or if anything else exciting happens throughout the day.

While visiting my parents Saturday, my taste buds demanded a falafel sandwich. So Mom and I hit the food court at the mall along with a few stores. I'd totally forgotten about my Hot Topic gift card I received on Decemberween, and bought some new pants with it.
( They're purple. )
After all that, Jen and I went bike riding since the weather allowed it. It's a bummer that the only two places I ever seem to go (my job and my parents') aren't within reasonable biking distance.
Then Sunday I went to a vegan potluck with Jen, so that was kinda cool. ..I want more of those pancakes.
And~ the highlight of my weekend. Yes. I finally caught one. After nearly four months.

Half a year has passed since I became an SBM employee.
I've received nothing but positive feedback, both from the facility maintenance crew and from the office employees who I work around.
And there are a few individuals who won't let a single week pass without reminding me how grateful they are to have me.
I don't mean to sound greedy, but... a raise would be nice.
