10th-Nov-2009 02:55 pm - Better than acid
What's better than acid? A fever of course. Okay that was sarcasm because I've never done acid nor do I plan too, but I did have a fever last night. A nice high one that caused be to hallucinate big time. I also effectively scared the shit out of my family. Go Penny...

While in my fever high I was 100 percent positive we had three dogs. And I thought they were all on the other side of my door trying to get in. Because that makes so much sense. So I got up at around three in morning and tried my hardest to let them in, only I'd totally forgotten that doors have doorknobs. This pissed me off and I probably made weird grunting noises.

Then! 

I actually managed to call my brother. 

I didn't actually mean to call him. I was obviously trying to reach the door specialist people so they could walk me through the necessary steps to opening a door. Unfortunately my brother is no door specialist. 

After mumbling things like "I can't get open the door." and "I don't know what's wrong." I managed to freak him right out and he called our house wondering where the hell I was. 

And the next thing I remember is suddenly being in the bathtub with my dad spraying me in the face with really cold water. Not so fun...

What an adventure that was. One I would not like to repeat again. 

Oh and this morning I got up and went to class. Yup, I'm a trooper. But I did get kicked out because my professor thought I had swine flu. But I don't. It's just a cold. A really shitty cold. But now I'll be known as that girl with swine flu.... and I didn't even have it! Stupid sickness.... Ruining my day.
8th-Nov-2009 02:38 pm - I wish I were a lesbian
 So I have these exes. Ex 1 and Ex 2, and they're friends with each other. 

How totally stupid was it of me to date them? 

Now I'm avoiding them because they seem to want to get back together. Probably only to rub it in the other's face. I feel like if I were a lesbian these things wouldn't happen to me. 

I have this cousin who's a lesbian and while she and her girlfriend obviously fight like every other couple on the planet, they're not half as bad as my stupid exes. Maybe because they're both girls and they understand each other, while I am not a boy and don't really get what goes on in their testosterone filled brains.


And never ever ever tell an ex who wants to get back together that you are sick. Because all of a sudden he's all, "I'll bring you some soup!" "Do you need Buckleys?" "How about I come over and massage your brain?" "I can blow your nose for you." 

Like holy hell, leave me alone. I dumped you for a reason!

I like LJ for the fact that I can randomly rant about anything I want. 

Wow, I sound like a bitch, but I'm sick so I'm entitled.

8th-Nov-2009 11:27 am - Bad Boys

We all have a thing for the bad boys, don't try and deny it. But what about the really bad boys. The villains. Often times they're not as hot as the heroes and they usually make you want to hide away, but for some reason that makes them so much more appealing. You're probably like, "No Penny... I don't like the villains, hence why they're villains." But come on, you liked the Joker, and not just because Heath died. 

Oh and that dude from Prison Break. T-Bag. Yeah, that's his name. For starters T-Bag is one messed up dude, he's a murder AND a rapist AND a white supremacist. Yeah I know I said I liked the villains but I wouldn't invite him over to my house for a cup of tea no matter how much he seems to like it. But! T-Bag, well the actor, gets the most fan mail from woman out of all the other dudes on Prison Break. And that my friend is twisted and hilarious.

So, recently I found my new favourite bad boy. For a long while it was Christopher Walken, but he's been overthrown by this dude.


Doesn't he not look threatening in any way! But this dude with his flowing long hair and teacher glasses and black feathered boa and his white trench coat is so bad ass I didn't even see it coming. His name is Suitengu, which is just so much fun to say, and he's from Speed Grapher which is a pretty awesome show just because he's in it. 

At first Suitengu was like the most annoying person EVAR. He was the assistant of this bitch who owned this company and pretty much he just chauffeured her daughter to school and shit. Oh and he was her sex toy. 

But then you see that instead of being a little bitch he's actually a crazy mastermind who's running an underground sex club for all the super rich people of Japan, and he's a loan shark. Yeah.... he's fucking crazy. Also the girl, Kagura, who's his bosses daughter also happens to be the main attraction of this club, but that's a whole other can of worms.

BUT THEN, you learn that this sex club of his is just a front for more evil crap he does! And he does this all while wearing a feathered boa. Amazing. Then you learn about his past which is sad and heartbreaking but still you're like "Dude... you're messed up..." But I do have a slight crush on him. I know... bad Penny.

Anyway, Speed Grapher is a good show and if you're into anime you should definitely watch it. All the other characters are pretty cool, but he stands out in his own twisted way.

5th-Nov-2009 08:58 pm - Kicked Off the Bus
 Today was an interesting one. First of all I was late because my alarm is broken. Here I am thinking I have serious sleeping problems but really my alarm was just forgetting to wake me up. Then the obvious happened, I was kicked off the bus.

I know, crazy, right?

First of all I wasn't one of those obscene people to stumble onto a bus all drunk and loud. And everyone is praying they don't sit next to them. No, I was my lovely self, and this 'tard of a bus driver stops me, starts flirting with me, then kicks me off when I don't agree to go out with him.

Dur, what? 

And for the record, he was kinda attractive, but not anymore since he kicked me off the bus. I've been thinking about reporting him. But I also feel like he's not worth my time.

Douche bags are among us! 
20th-Oct-2009 11:53 pm - Bookshops and Rabbit Holes
Wow, so I haven't posted anything in eons. Mostly because my computer somehow decided it hated LJ. I guess now they're friends. 

Since this is my blog I'm going to tell you all about my life. Yup, I am. I don't care if you don't want to listen. 

Recently I got a job at a bookshop. I was super excited about this since I love books and all. Basically, it's an awesome job and I usually spend my time making funky signs made out of glitter paper. So, if you happen to walk into a bookshop and see a girl reading a book called "Unicorns, and how to find them", that's me! Of course, as jobs go, they're not always super fun. Besides arts and crafts I'm shelving books, or alphabetizing an entire section because some moron forgot his ABCs.

Another recent thing that has occurred in "The Life and Times of Penny" is the fact that I have dumped my boyfriend. Hurrah for me! Men can be such a pain in the rump. 

I suppose that's all. Well there are other things, such as I bought new underwear, but I'm sure you don't care. 

Anywho, you know what I realized recently? I've realized that The Rabbit Hole is coming to an end. Yes people, it is. There are still a few chapters to go, but I'm tying up all loose ends in preparation for the climax, which I hope will be climatic. You may be saddened by this, or maybe you're thrilled because TRH has been going on FOREVER. Well not forever, but a while. Soon we shall see what becomes of my merry band of adventures. 

I recently got a PM from someone asking weather or not Alice was ever going to use that old key she has around her neck. Of course she is. Why else would I write it in? Also, a few people have asked if Alice is going to get pregnant. No, she definitely isn't. Well maybe she will one day in the fantasy you have created in your mind, who knows. But as for now, in this story, no she will not be carrying any babies. Yes, I realize I didn't describe Grey expertly ripping open a condom wrapper with his teeth as I'm sure he is skilled at doing, but I assure you he did not impregnate Alice. Such things would completely ruin the story and cause it to spiral down the cliche toilet of doom. 

Not that cliches are bad. I happen to love them. I'm just trying to keep it away from TRH as much as possible. 

Well, I must take a shower for I smell horrible. Look out for the next chapter of TRH and BT. 

Sayanora,
Penny

The only quart of milk was already three days past the freshness date stamped on it’s carton, and he poured it down the drain. He fed the half loaf of white bread into the garbage disposal, and followed it with the hideously mottled contents of an open package of bologna that looked as if it would soon grow hair and growl.”

30th-Aug-2009 03:37 am - Piano man and Twilight creep me out
Today started out with such promise. Of course it didn't end that way. Today I got into yet another fight with a friend of mine over Twilight.

It seems that those books are the only thing we can talk about nowadays. Somehow every conversation ends up with Twilight. Personally I think she enjoys watching me get mad with every "OMG EDWARD IS LIKE SOOOOOOOO HAWT." So, after she said that for the millionth time I replied with, "Actually, I find him rather creepy."

Which, let's face it, is true. The dude's an undead stalker, with no personality, and he watches Bella sleep while she's blissfully unaware. And he sparkles... Random creepy.

Of course my friend explodes at my statement. Edward just loves Bella. But that's just bullshit because lots of people love lots of other people in this world and I'm sure those with healthy relationships don't watch each other sleep. But that is just one minor problem I have with those books.

Anyway, that conversation just escalated to how people falling in love with babies is just sick and wrong, and how vampire's just can't procreate. They just can't. For being a dead guy he sure does have some lively balls. Flying pigs would have been more realistic.

I must stop before my head explodes all over again. But anyway another thing that creeps me out, along with Edward, is this:
 

Yes, that's right. Billy Joel sure is creepy. But in all seriousness, I do look like that in the morning.

22nd-Aug-2009 04:13 pm - Book review: jPod - Douglas Coupland



I feel like maybe I should be reviewing romance stories but surprisingly enough I don't read them very often. This book however is hilarious, I think if you're ever in a crummy mood, this book is there for you.

The story is narrated by Ethan who spends most of is time working as part of a team of six video game programmers in an office they've dubbed jPod, on account of all their last names starting with J. Apart from work Ethan has to deal with his dysfunctional family, including his mother who has an illegal grow-op in their basement, complete with booby traps, and his father who quit his full time job to aspire to be a.... movie extra.

All the characters are completely ridiculous, only adding to hilarity of the novel. Some of the jPodders include John Doe, whose real name is actually crow well mountain juniper. All lower caps. He was born into a lesbian commune and now strives to be as normal as possible, hence the name John Doe. Cowboy, whose unhealthy obsession with sex, death, and cough syrup have lead to jail a number of times. Kaitlin, who believes everyone in jPod is mildly autistic and creates a hugging machine to help the others with human interaction. And Evil Mark who surrounds himself with only edible objects because of a traumatic event that occurred in a storage unit.

It's fun, definitely a good laugh. There are even fun little puzzles inside, like ten pages with row after row of O's, and the objective is to find the only 0.This is harder than it looks.

The book is hysterical and made me laugh out loud a couple of times. There's even a mini-series. Try it out, I guarantee you'll have a good time.
