Akane stopped by a few days ago to marathon the few episodes of Supernatural she hadn't seen yet. We were up until 5AM. It tired me out so severely I lost a day. I just... slept. And, learned nothing makes me feel more guilty than sleeping all day when I'm unemployed.

Both of my parents' have been sick all week. And pissy. And, my mother isn't happy that she turned 59 on Monday. I've been tip-toeing around a bit. All this has meant that the momentum that existed to finish my little room renovations and get everything just plain done...is gone. Paint has been applied and touched up. Carpet is in. I have a new bedding set and replacements for the glass shades on the ceiling fan's light fixtures (that I didn't even think I needed). But, the windows and, most importantly, the broken book shelves just sit there teasing me and my impotence when it comes to progress.

...I'm like a ghost around here...

I can't transport myself as I have no car and no licence. I stay inside, away from the cold almost all the time. I have no job and no money, so no fiscal power. I don't/can't cook when the master chefs (my parents) are around. I'm just spending my time trying to stay out from underfoot and it's a little unnerving. This is what it's like to haunt a house, eh?

I'll tell you one thing this out-of-school/unemployed thing is good for: Keeping up with my email. I finish almost every day with nothing in my inbox and never let it get above more than a handful of unanswered messages.

Tomorrow I'm starting a mission. I've been watching lots of Style TV's Clean House and really want to get the ball rolling on getting my parents to get rid of their crap. They hate the house the way it is. But, they aren't willing to do anything about it. Let's see if I can get that to change...

D: Sorry about keeping you up all night!

I'm also sorry you feel like a ghost, but... you should Patrick Swayze some shit around the house. XD

Good luck on your mission! My mission next week is to clean my closets a bit and get a normal-ish sleep schedule back cause... damn. *looks at the clock* :\

It was a fun time! And my fault for introducing you to Supernatural! I was just too weak to wake up in the morning the next day. z_z

Did you watch last night's episode???

I shall! I'm pondering just cleaning a room when they're both gone and seeing what happens. *sinister laugh* Did you want help with that closet cleaning?

Fault? There is no fault when it comes to the awesomeness and hotness of Supernatural! >:D

I did! And I knew it was that dude as soon as they were sitting there having the rocker trivia session. Bwahahahahahaha!

The look of "We were vivited by the cleaning fairy? :0?" would be hilarious to see. LOL Maybe~ I may steal you on Monday and have you look at the situation with me. I'm at a loss on how to re-organize everything. :\

XD I'm so happy I'm not the only one who loves this stuff!

I thought the twist would be that both the doctor and the agent would be sirens. The actual end of the episode was rather depressing. =(

Ok~

I'm totally loving this stuff with you! \:D/

:0 That would have been a hell of a twist. The ending was horribly depressing. I hope they don't ignore that in later episodes.

What time should I be at your house tomorrow, yo~?

I am really bad at guessing the endings. Even when they're obvious. I always want it to end better than it does.

Whenever? I warn you: I have a cold and will be high on cold medicine all day. Also, Elizabeth decided not to go to the comedian today, and said she'd love to hang out this week with us. So... yeah. Stuff. 8D

Meeeee too. As soon as they were saying that bad stuff to each other I knew it wasn't going to be a good ending, but I held out hope even though it was futile.

D: That sucks. How long have you had a cold? Maybe me and Elizabeth should meet at your house around 12:30? It might be boring for both you guys, but I have clothes I'm going to get rid of... So maybe you guys can steal some if you want them?

I've had a cold all weekend, really. *sigh* But, that sounds ok? =D

I mentioned to Elizabeth that you were thinking of cleaning out your closet and she loved the sound of it. She REALLY liked the idea of going through your clothes. XD But, you'd have to ask her if that's a good time?

I sorry you have a cold. :( That sounds ok to me~~

XD I can't imagine why she wants to go through my clothes. I text messaged her about meeting up at your house, but I haven't heard back from her. Either way, I'll be at your house around 12:30 tomorrow. :3

Ok~ And if you're a little late, that's ok. I'm supposed to buy fabric for curtains in the morning. Y_Y

Yup yup! My dad's getting a curtain rod with me tomorrow and fronting the bill for the fabric. I assemble and then...done!

I guess... we looked for blinds instead and they were all expensive and ugly and came in ick colors, so my dad suggested this. At least I'll actually get matching colors. *shrug* Fold edges, sew. End. I'll deal, I hope.

*nod, nod* Matching colors are always a good thing~~ Just don't tucker yourself out too much. Don't let the cold win! >:o

*sniffle, cough* It already won. I had set a deadline for finishing my cover letter and applying to a job. No dice thanks to this cold. *still a ghost*

Clean House is awesome, I miss Niecy. I'm sick of all those fill ins, none of them are as good as her.

A word of advice on the Clean House thing: those shows tend to encourage getting rid of MOST or ALL of something, and it's really hard for us packrats to do that. My mom and I started out with a "get rid of one box of stuff a day/week" thing, and now we're more like a "reduce the 15 boxes of Christmas crap to 10" thing. I think it's worked well so far. We're also a favorite of many charities now, b/c we've been giving away from 3-5 boxes of stuff every month for 2 years.

My family isn't like that, though. My dad's just a recycle nazi and my mother can't keep him on track because her day starts at 4AM and she doesn't really get done with work until 7PM ish... and then she goes to bed at 8 or 9. Most of what's piled up in the kitchen is meant to be recycled or given away. Same with the garage. The computer room and basement and the rest of it could be gotten rid of without much thought or pain if they'd just invest the time. I'm thinking I need to get some momentum going. Like, they usually just let junk they want to donate to charity sit around until the agency calls THEM. But, they have a donation center down town. So, in one or two car trips we could have a couple of piles of things to their final destination with no waiting and no grief. But, it requires a time investment. So...hard to get them moving.

Ah. I do understand how recycling/donations pile up between pick-up dates. We've had to make a couple trips ourselves just to get stuff out of the way--and we have some charity or another do a pick-up at least once a month, if not more. It does sound like all you need is an hour or two of car trip time. There's also the freecycle option, I suppose, where you post [pics of] what you want to get rid of and whoever calls first and can pick it up right away gets it. I wish you the best of luck in this endeavor.
