Is it too late to change my mind about Christmas already?

Today is the last day of December. Thank FSM (Flying Spaghetti Monster. My version of that thing people refer to as "God".). This month has been a nightmare for me. After being on some weird thing they termed "suspension", I was terminated from my job less than 2 weeks before Christmas. 3 days before my NV Energy bill was due, 2 weeks before my Charter internet, & less than 3 weeks before my rent & Cricket. Thank FSM again that I purchased that brand new $600+ laptop at the beginning of the month, right? So maybe wanting a sewing machine as my gift for Christmas wasn't the right choice. Should have asked Santa to bring me a job instead. Or this little item so I could print out my resume to help me on my job search:

Yes, I just scheduled my 4th interview for the month (sorta) for tomorrow. The last interview I went to, the interviewer actually scolded me for not bringing a resume. & said I wasn't experienced enough to work in his restaurant. Umm isn't food service almost exclusively all I've done for practically the past 2 years? I also recently have been passed over for a housekeeping job because of my lack of experience. Yes, not experienced in the field of cleaning toilets. The nerve of some people, right?
A guess a job interview on the first day of a brand new year is somewhat of a promising view of how 2014 can turn out. I don't even expect to land the job, but maybe I should start things off more optimistically. 2013 has not been the best year. I somehow lost all my friends, went through 3 different jobs, & had to tell my mother to give up a cat I have had since I was 16. But maybe things can change around. There's always the possibility I can finally grow out of my social awkwardness & get one of those things people call a "life".
So to end things on a lighter note, (Yeah, I know this entry got a little depressing. Sue me.) Here's 2 movies I recently watched that I would recommend for you to get your horror on.:

You get the beer. We get the time. You get the coke, gimme a line.

Sorry for the time gap since my last post. It's been a hectic time. My laptop broke & work has been taking over my life. But here I am again with a brand new laptop & more useless crap to share with the world. (I.e. probably just a few of my select friends that for some reason seem interested in the things I have to say.) So the topic of this entry is a subject I am quite familiar with: maximizing your blood alcohol content (or how to get more drunk without spending more). I know it seems like a subject to come out of nowhere, but I recently read an article on NY Daily News (most likely found on StumbleUpon again) & had a conversation with a coworker who (by her stories) is an avid connoisseur of alcohol. After working almost 2 years at a club, I am fully a fan of cocktail drinks. Even though I mainly consume whiskey & some type of dark soda because I'm a cheap bastard, I am not afraid to try new things. I know I had read it somewhere before, but the article reinforces the simple fact that diet soda (to put in simple terms) gets you more drunk than regular soda. Why? Just read the damn article. It's a legitimate news site & the article references a scientific study. But you know what'll get you even more sauced feeling? Replacing soda altogether with a carbonated-less drink: juice. Wanna read the same information on a different site? Try ABC News. Same thing on CNN Health, NPR,  & even CBS News. So there you go. You'll be paying the same price you usually pay, but you'll be feeling more of it. So I'm saving you money here. Well I'm not personally. But I'm telling you how to fucking party. Same diff.
