Five Vices

A change of pace for me. I haven’t done a meme in a long time, so I felt like the time was right for one. I got this meme from Nellie.

  1. List five vices you have, with a description if you want to.
  2. Tag five bloggers for this meme.
  3. Link back to the blogger who tagged you, and this post if you want to be nice!

1. Stress - I’ve always been a worrywart, ever since I was a young child. I worried about everything, whether it concerned me or not. That, in turn, led to horrible headaches that turned into migraines. Now, at the age of 22, I have yet to get my worrying under control and it’s become very stressful. I carry the stress on my shoulders, and my migraines are consistent now. I wish I had that carefree way of life, because stress sucks. It also hurts.

2. Writing Utensils - This may sound beyond weird, but I have a pen/pencil vice. I have too many of them, everywhere. If I find a cool pen or pencil, I keep it. No, I don’t steal them. I do buy quite a bit of them, though. I know I won’t use them all, but for some reason I must keep collecting new ones all the time. It’s the weirdest thing ever, but I have come to terms with the fact that I am a pen and pencil kleptomaniac.

3. Coffee - Hot or cold, I can’t get enough of it. I love my mocha frappaccino from Starbucks, even though it can get quite expensive. Every morning I make myself a mug of hot coffee because if I don’t get it, I’m going to be cranky and irritable. It’s the caffeine, I tell you!

4. Sweets - Oh, they are my favorite vice! I love sweets more than anything. I’m the kind of person that would rather have dessert first. I’m addicted to sweet pastries, brownies, chocolate chip cookies, carrot cakes, apple pies, and banana pudding. I love baking as well, which helps me satisfy my insatiable sweet tooth!

5. Naruto and Bleach - I am absolutely addicted to these animes, and I love reading the manga as well. I watch the Japanese subtitled versions, of course. Not only are they way ahead of the American versions, but they also sound much cooler. :sly: I love buying all kinds of memorabilia, from posters to coin purses to fleece blankets.

So there you have it. My five vices, although there are plenty more than just five. I won’t bother tagging anyone, but please feel free to do this meme. Let me know so I can read them! :smile:

Sick and tired…of everything.

Today was an especially hard day for me. I went to the Navy recruiting office to ask the guys there what I was supposed to do with a package from the Navy Federal Credit Union that came in the mail. They made me call the toll free number to try and find out what it was that I was supposed to do with it. It was really a big mistake on their part because I ended up bawling like a big baby after that call. The lady on the phone said that the account was not under my name, therefore she couldn’t give me any kind of information on my husband’s account. I hung up the phone and the waterworks started. I wasn’t crying because I couldn’t get any information, but because I felt powerless and unable to do anything about anything. I felt more lonely and helpless than I ever have. I still haven’t heard a single thing from him, and I don’t know if he’s doing okay or what. The rent is due on the first, and I don’t even know if we’ll have the funds for it. I’m just worrying every day about everything and I’m giving myself headaches because of all the stress I’m putting myself through. The more I stress, the worse my headache gets. Then I stress about my headaches, which only makes things worse!

I’m tired of this, and I’m tired of everything. Being separated from my husband sucks. I need him here with me, to help me get through the tough days, like today. The kids were out of control today at school, and I think the “Healthy Buddy” program is going to go down the drain tomorrow. But that’s something that I don’t want to get into right now.

Oh yeah and the “Submit” button on the comment form doesn’t work in Firefox. But at this point I don’t feel like fixing it, so just tab and hit enter when you comment. For now, anyway. I need to get out of this mood that I’m in. There’s a dark cloud over my head, and I need to get rid of it.
