Kohaku Hoshi's place

2009 is taking is last proverbial dump on us.

2009-12-30T01:02:26Z

Lately my friends and family have been freaking jinxed, I swear, as have I.

Me: sick twice in a month, probably sick again, snowed in on Xmas, Christmas cancelled, 82 bucks in the hole according to the bank
Sat: kid sick, phone stolen at hospital.
Molly: Macbook went kerblooie when she hooked her new ipod to it
Shiro: Laptop's fan went kerblooie, desktop went kerblooie too, and lost its data
Tiago: got dumped by his boyfriend of a short time in a passive aggressive and immature manner
Mom: Swine Flu, Pneumonia, car trouble
Grandma Carol: in extreme pain from her already diseased back going out.
Debbie: blocked arteries in heart, car trouble

and there is more I'm sure I missed.

It ended up ok after all :D

2009-12-27T21:05:39Z

I got my stuff from my dad's side of the family
-George Foreman Grill
-electric toothbrush (asked for)
-Grocery Store gift card (asked for)
-socks (asked for)

-large container of Gardettos, which I'm probably never going to finish

My mom and grandma have previous given me before Christmas, a bunch of food, and mom bought me a cheap but needed pair of headphones.

My friends also came through for me too
-stuff on GaiaOnline
-A stamp with my name on it in kanji, always wanted a real one. (from )
-a cup and saucer to replace my favorite dish that broke, even if the saucer is the wrong pattern, I love it
-'s gift, when it arrives
-cards from and

Merry Fucking Christmas to me.

I'm snowed in. or rather my dad is. Merry Fucking Christmas to me. XP Perfect end to this horrible month for me, sick twice, been alone for most of it, Grandma's back's out again, got two overdraft fees at the bank, just the icing on the moldy, stale cake. It's no one's fault, but I still feel cheated and pissed off.

Merry Christmas from Kohaku Hoshi!

Exactly what it says on the tin! I wish you all a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year! :D

Feelin' better!

2009-12-05T06:09:01Z

I'm feeling loads better after three days of antibiotics. I have a picture of my gross tonsils for you who love medical stuff. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Streptcoccus_Group_G_infection_of_tonsils.JPG dee-sgusting.

I wrote a haiku to commemorate my strep and this product, http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/gear/cbba/?cpg=117HB and submitted it.

Strep on my toothbrush
ultraviolet ninja
no reinfection :)

Why have I not been answering phone calls and posting and coming on IM?

2009-12-02T13:07:36Z

I got sick. Again. Tonsillitis/strep. Wham. I am so sick of being sick! -throws a tantrum- I can't swallow without pain and can only eat sherbet and jello right now, swallowing those horsepill antibiotics is the worst with a painful throat. So I would appreciate if everyone left me alone (IM/Phonecalls)till I feel better, ok? I'm tired, headachy, cranky, feverish, in pain, and have to spit drool into a cup.

<<how I feel right now

Fuck Bronchitis.

2009-11-04T22:35:35Z

I have a case of bronchitis, and my throat is so raw from the coughing I've lost my voice. (no calls, folks, till my voice comes back) Lovely. I had a fever of 100.1 but it passed, I don't own a thermometer so I can't check. My head was hurting soooo bad too, but i bought a mega bottle of ibuprofen. I couldn't sleep last night I was coughing so bad. Pity me. My spirits are ok though. I just haaate being stuck inside on a beautiful day.

Happy birthday to me!

another future chapter in Koko's book of failed romantic pursuits.

2009-10-15T21:18:19Z

A guy in my building seems to have the hots for me. he asked for my number, and he chats me up in the elevator. I'm really not sure how to feel about it. I'm torn between flattery and suspicion here. No romantic pursuits of mine have ever gone well. It was either one-sided, or the guy was doing it for a joke, or doing it because they thought I would be an easy lay, or he was a total reject who was going for a fat chick because clearly she has no standards. Needless to say, my hopes aren't high. Frankly, I don't care if I die alone anymore anyways.

Birthday and Halloween!

2009-10-13T22:33:33Z

Don't forget my birthday is on October 20th!

I sent out some halloween cards this year to several people, as well.

and I've got a new desk and I'm done decorating!

I lurve my new shoes.

2009-10-10T03:35:02Z

I have horrible wide, flat feet so girly shoes are hard to come by, but I found this pair that fit!

random thought.

2009-10-06T05:11:47Z

I had a thought... If terrorists -really- wanted to fuck with America, they should bomb all the Chinese factories that produce our goods. Then that would hurt the rich fat cats who make profits outsourcing and destroying our economy, and destroy Wal-mart, our biggest company. They wouldn't have to kill soldiers or destroy anything on American soil. Then the Chinese would get pissed and kill the terrorists for us. I consider that win-win. :D

Getting Ready For Halloween!

2009-10-06T02:00:33Z

I've been decorating. I still need to pick up some items though, and hang up some more.

If you could choose a $1,000 gift certificate for one online store, which would it be and what would you get? Would you share the love with your friends?

No question, geeks.com, I need a new compy like yesterday. And yeah, I'd spread some of the love if I had any left over.

yay!

I upgraded my RAM! I'm up to 3 gigs from 1, but it only registers half on the system settings... but it's a definite increase from what it said before

Note to certain buddies of mine

2009-09-13T20:15:43Z

(this isn't just any one person, it's a few people who have been doing this)
If you're having a problem, you can call me anytime. If you call me just to chat, do it on the weekend, or try me after 8pm central. I only get 300 daytime minutes, and 1000 evening/weekend minutes. I only get 1000 texts too, so try to go light on the texts.

THANK YOU.

I'm so sick of Obama bashing. If you think Obama is going to send our elderly to death camps, go sit at the kiddie table. I believe in him. I also believe that some of his campaign promises didn't come true (yet) because he's getting opposed at every turn, which is why the two party system bites ass.

I got this shirt for a buck, and I'll wear it in support.

The Joy of Ghetto Living

2009-09-01T01:50:25Z

I had to call the cops yesterday.

I was taking my walk, and two girl were fighting on 22nd avenue west. I caught the tail end and the crowd dispersed, from what was being yelled, one girl shot the other with a bb gun. on the return trip, I passed one of the girls was yelling into her cellphone calling for reinforcements to retaliate, so I called the cops. Initially they had refused to come by, according to the neighbors, but since I had a tip that girl B was retaliating with reinforcements, I think they probably sent a cruiser by. I waited till i got home to call so they probably didn't realize it was me who tipped off the fuzz.

I'm not a proud ghetto denizen so I can snitch if I want to.

LTC Pharmacy is full of greedy SOBs.

2009-08-31T22:56:42Z

I don't like using the victim card, but what else when I do when people persist in exploiting me?

LTC pharmacy in Proctor, MN filled my prescription AFTER I went in PERSON to ensure my account was cancelled, after i had Melissa the house supervisor of my former residence tell them to do it. This stinks of deliberate ignorance. I already called in to get my scrip at Walgreens in west Duluth! I had her take it back but if they were first to bill my insurance, you know what that means? Minnesota's state insurance will NOT allow me to double bill prescriptions. I'm OUT of my pills, and Effexor has a horrible withdrawal! If walgreens didn't fill it first it means I'll be billed the FULL amount for my BRAND NAME drugs. I CAN'T AFFORD THAT! Now I know how seniors faced with choosing between food or meds feel!

FYI to those who will be inevitably telling me to take the poisoned apple:
I am NOT going to take the scrip they automatically filled. That would be encouraging them to keep on billing me.

FUCK YOU, LTC. YOU ARE CHEATING, SNEAKY BASTARDS! DON'T EXPECT ME TO PAY YOU ONE CENT IN CO PAYS NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU PERSIST. I WILL SIT OUTSIDE WITH A SIGN IF YOU DON'T KNOCK IT OFF! I WON'T REMOVE THIS POST EITHER, SINCE YOU CAN'T BE HALF ASSED TO CANCEL MY ACCOUNT!

UPDATE: I have started using my Twitter account with this tidbit.
