Well, the few days of lessened anxiety were nice while they lasted. Now it's back in full swing. I am due for a visit from my period very shortly and I am an anxious wreck that it is going to come earlier than I expect it. Which is next Monday. Now if it comes Friday or at the weekend, it's one thing, but I am fretting it coming within the next few days, which would be way too early.
And having PMS symptoms isn't helping one bit.
The early menopause fear is still lingering. I probably should correct myself and say it's not specifically menopause I am thinking I am going through- it's perimenopause.
I am not looking forward to this week in work. Not that I ever am, but especially this week. One, my boss is supposed to come back and two, the one who plays on her phone all of the time is going to be in office the whole week with the exception of tomorrow. Yay. A whole week of watching her do a half-assed job and play on her phone, because god forbid she actually work.
I forget if it was Thursday or Friday of last week, but one of those days, my FWA had posted some sappy Facebook post about being up from 2 to 5 with the baby and the smiles and giggles she was getting are worth it, but she hopes the baby gets her tooth soon (teething issues, I assume). And when I got to work, one of my coworkers got a text from her saying that she wouldn't be in until close to 9. Is she for real? Look at all of the Sundays I had bad insomnia and still drug my beyond tired ass into work ON TIME. The worst thing for that bitch to do was have a baby, because now she just has another excuse to show up late, call out, leave early, etc.
Now....I need to decide if I want to avoid the MTV VMAs altogether or watch them for the lulz.

Random Thoughts
This neck pain needs to go away. Now I don't know whether it is a sprain or a strain, but I was reading about neck sprains and it was not very encouraging. Most symptoms will decrease in 4-6 weeks? Are you kidding me? It hasn't even been a week and I am already annoyed. I don't think I can take another 3 to 5 weeks of this pain. I like how some of the symptoms listed are irritability, fatigue, difficulty sleeping and difficulty concentrating. I have been extremely irritable, yes, between having my period and this pain. Also due to being exhausted from not sleeping due to not being able to sleep properly. No matter how I lay, it irritates my neck even more.
I don't know why, but every time I manage to injure something, I get incredibly irritable and sullen. It's like my body being injured somehow personally offends me or something.
I still cannot figure out how I could have possibly strained/sprained my neck from having a panic attack. But it had to be from that, because not long after it happened, I started having pain. And I don't want to do anything wrong with getting this to heal and mess up my neck. I already screwed up by not icing it in the beginning. Wish I would have spent a little more time Googling neck sprain or strain instead of meningitis and West Nile virus. Cripes, if someone needed solid evidence that I could very well be a hypochondriac, I would print out my entire Google search history.
I was reading an article on Cracked earlier about horrible people and one of the listed was perfectly able bodied people parking in handicapped spots. And while I certainly agree it isn't right, especially when some of the sights I see parking in them, the argument is a little tiresome. Clearly people are still going to be assholes and do it. And if anything is offensive when it comes to handicapped parking, it's when I see a car parked crookedly and on the lines where a wheelchair lift or ramp can come out. THAT is offensive. How is someone in a wheelchair supposed to get out if a car is parked in the lines? And most of the time it is done by some enormous boat driven by some fossil that probably has no business on the road in the first place.
And speaking of taking up closer parking spots, I won't even get started on those stupid "mother with small children" spots. Give me a fucking break.
I thought about watching them, but I decided against watching the MTV Music Awards this year. No MGMT, no Of Monsters and Men, no fucks given. I was far more interested in watching the Futurama marathon and listening to the New Music Show, which featured "Your Life is a Lie" again. I did receive a text message at one point from my sister, who was watching it, telling me to put it on and see Miley Cyrus. I just can't even muster enough energy to rip into that mess. Plus, if I spend time talking about it, then I am giving her exactly what she wants- attention. All I can say is that girl is repulsive on so many levels. She has a wicked case of the try hards. It actually personally offends me that she is more popular than my favorite bands.
My sister and brother-in-law were stanning for Bruno Mars earlier. Ugh, I do not get the big deal with him. I think he is talented, but his music.....you can have it. I was forced to listen to the CD one day when I was in the car with them and I wanted to jump out so bad. His music always reminds me of doo-wop, which I grew up listening to and actually still liked....until a few years ago. Now every time I listen to it, I want to stab my eardrums. So maybe once upon a time I would have liked his music. Well, there was that one I did like a couple years ago, "The Other Side".
It's weird how music taste can change. Like I used to love listening to Billy Joel, but now his music seriously annoys me.
The weather has been really nice the past couple days and now it's going to get warm again. And there is talk of possible severe weather on Tuesday and/or Wednesday. Yay. Can we please be done with the severe weather? I know last year we had two instances in September of moderate risk severe weather days. Also, I think that one tornado warning last year was in September as well. It would be nice if either of those didn't happen again. However, now it's time to worry about hurricanes, tropical storms, frankenstorms, etc. Damn, it's a shame no one decided to officially call Sandy Frankenstorm Sandy instead of Superstorm Sandy.
Goddammit, I dread going to sleep tonight.

Random MTV Music Awards Thoughts
Have the music awards on right now. One Direction is going to be performing. I can't wait to hear how autotuned they are. They're about the only reason I am watching it. God, they are so freaking adorable. Especially Harry and Liam. I want to punch myself in the face for thinking this.
Okay. Can't hear over all of the incessant obnoxious screaming. STFU, you dumb tweens! Are they going to do anything besides just stand there and/or walk around? Sure, MGMT didn't really do much at their show, but uh, they play instruments. The boy bands in my day (god I sound like such an old person) used to dance like all holy hell. And while I do agree that there is no written law that boy bands have to dance, but well, um, when looks and half-decent singing are all you have....you have to do something.
The rest of the show, I am watching on mute with my iTunes library playing loudly. I'm just going to pretend everyone is lip-synching to my music. New hits or not, MGMT should be there. Why? Have you seen some of the people that are there? Why are they there? And just because MGMT is awesome. And because they are real musicians. And don't base any judgements on two songs. Seriously- look up how much work they put into their music. It's unbelievable. They write and compose all of their music. I think Andrew pretty much writes all of the lyrics.
And then their instrument talent. WHOA:
From OS:
I watched their performance of "Electric Feel" from the 2009 V Fest again last night and I have to say Andrew has definitely improved since then in singing that song. I'm not going to say he was bad, but he definitely sang it better at Musikfest. Their performance of "Brian Eno" was significantly better than when I watched the 2010 Lollapalooza performance of it as well. But either way, I'd rather hear not-so-good live music than lip-synching.
MY KINGS! YOU SHOULD BE THERE!
They're so funny. Andrew looks like an anime character. Ben looks like he is posing for a school picture. And how in the hell tall is Matt anyway? They're all at least close to 5'10, based on how they compare to Andrew, and if that is how tall he really is. And Matt is like a good half foot at least taller. I always wonder if he is really shy or something, because he always seems to be hiding in the back on stage. DON'T HIDE MATT! WE LOVE YOU TOO!
Now....if I had Photoshop, I would put crowns on each of their heads. Andrew would have the biggest, of course. And because I am feeling really randy, that just sounded incredibly dirty.
9:15PM: OMFG HOW IS THIS MUSIC? Lil Wayne, please stop!
9:37PM: I am screaming along with "Metanoia" and I still sound better than most of these people performing. HELP ME! DRUMMER! TICKET! YEAH!
10:03PM: Hang it up, Rihanna, you insufferable cunt. God she makes me sick. She is about the only person on this earth who has less self-respect than me.
1:38AM: I bitched about Lil Wayne on Facebook and I just discovered I do in fact have friends who are fans of him. Nobody has said anything yet, but I swear if anyone makes one negative comment towards MGMT, I will administer an ass-whooping. You do not take the name of them in vain! Then again, I have plenty of friends on FB who hate Lil Wayne and would probably back me up.
