Wow I Suck

So I spilled GRAPE JUICE and it splattered over my table, drenching half my papers, over my pants (probably staining it...) and it hit the WHITE/PEARL CARPET LIKE THERE WAS NO TOMORROW (also attacking other nearby objects)! The mess was HUGE and I didn't know wtf to do so I called for help from the nearest person and it just so happened to be my dad. Why and who the hell would be stupid enough to ask your dad for help in a situation like this -- ME! It didn't occur to me at all that he would just yell and leave the mess for me to clean up anyway. It wasn't until afterwards it hit me... I felt really disappointed. But, ah yes, I forgot my dad isn't the helping type.. though he's only a relatively new Christian, I still feel as though he doesn't hold any Jesus-like traits. Though I guess that's another story (about the fact that I think my dad just goes to church for the attention which is actually a totally harmless and not bad reason itself but of course there's more to it than meeting people -- but I won't go there)... It's just that I started thinking that he won't forgive me for this for a while... yes it's probably the most stupidest and regreful (yeah adding another one to the list, that is) things I've done as of late and then as a typical Chinese dad he'll bring other things that completely don't relate into the light of this to build on his rage. Mmm.. I look forward to the next few days...

But anyways... to our/my dismay, there wasn't much carpet cleaner left. I still managed to scrub like a bitch but there's still a shade of pinky/purple there. I was thinking I should get some better carpet cleaning (some with crazy bleach or something) tomorrow but I kinda don't know where to get it. The first thing that comes to mind is Safeway but it's so far. Ow, my right fingers all hurt from scrubbing a little too hard though. Oh, did I mention the grape juice went ALL OVER MY KEYBOARD AS WELL? Holy smokes, I think I was freaking out more about the keyboard than the carpet at the time. But as you can see now, I'm still typing. Yes with the same keyboard that I hosed down with water (If it were to die, I'd want it to die PRETTY -- kind of like the deceased). After the hard carpet scrubbing, I went to tend my keyboard. I didn't bother taking out all the keys and just decided, if it works, it works, if it doesn't then..... well..... I'd probably be sulking about it for a long while. Stupidly, I took out the SPACE BAR just cuz I saw a giant hairball in there. Boy, I should've realized the spacebar had some gadget in it.. YES! The bloody METAL BAR! So I figeted (sp) with it for an HOUR before I got it working (pressable and responds from all sides). SO I'm kinda proud of myself for that BUT... it feels like response time on the keyboard has slowed down a bit which depresses me but at least it still works. I really like this keyboard, even though it's not one of those high-tech Microsoft ones, or better yet, it's BECAUSE it's not one of those high-tech gadget ones, that's why I like it. Nice, simple, flat.

I just realized I've been extremely clumsy since the start of the new [lunar] year. That makes two MAJOR spills in less than a week. I dunno man, my bro said (when he went and got a reading at P.N.E.) that my zodiac this year's apparently really lucky. Not that I really brlieve and rely on that stuff but it somehow makes me feel assured... But NOW, I don't know anymore :D... but then again, it takes time.

Eew my stinging hands smell like carpet cleaner... and they're peeling!
