As promised, here is the definition of shinigami copied straight from wiki:
Shinigami ("death god" or "God of Death") is the personification of death that evolved in Japan, having been imported to Japan from Europe during the Meiji period.The term shinigami may also be used more loosely to refer to any death deity. It seems to be a recent term, however, as it belongs to no specific Shinto deity and is rarely used in folklore. Today shinigami frequently appear in original Japanese works of fiction (anime and manga most often).
The article also lists several shows that they appear in, my favorite being Bleach (and Death Note which some may remember I partly based my blog title on, muhahaha.) They are not quite the same as our grim reaper personification but it would take me a lot of writing and examples to really drive home the subtle differences, probably just easier to say that shinigami generally have more responsibility and complications besides dealing with the dead (it's not all that bad lol.)

I just feel the missing music from the old school PSA's in this post.

Awesome distraction
I started watching a RPG cartoon that is not quite a parody but seems almost like it due to it's focus on humor (which might actually mean it is a parody after all.) I'm not in much of a writing mood tonight for some reason I can't figure out, hmmmm? So here is the link to Unforgotten Realms.
(Afterthoughts)
The writing bounces between childish and unbelievably brilliant, no wonder I am liking this show, lol.

My wasted day
Unsurprisingly I woke up early after a night of little sleep. So in order to distract myself I went to the grocery store and made myself a nice lunch for a change (even though I hate cooking for 1 person and can't seem to get the hang making that little food.) With a lot of time to kill I also made rice krispy treats coated in hershey chocolate bars to take to work with me. I figured that would be a good distraction to prevent anyone from possibly noticing the pain in my eyes, and even if by some odd chance they did, those might have a chance of tricking them into thinking I was fine. Because who the hell would make treats for their coworkers if they were in a bad mood (non-poisoned ones I obviously mean lol.)
(Afterthoughts)
Told y'all I would totally blow off and ignore my bad mood in a few days, it's already starting to happen, screw dealing with issues when you can eat chocolate coated and crunchy cereal marshmellow bar thingies instead. Hooray!
What I have decided is I hate this drama
My opinion so far... I hate caring as much as I do.
- I hate feeling like a burden by making the few friends I have be seen out with me and listen to my problems.
- I hate not being able to drown myself in anger anymore.
- I hate suffering in silence even though it is the best thing to do (apparently not too silent, sigh.)
- I hate waking up disappointed more mornings than not when I discover that I am still alive.
- I hate wanting to cry at least a few times a week and rarely able to let myself do it.
- I hate feeling the ironic amusement at my own anguish and misery and realizing that half of my genuine smiles and laughter comes from my demoness side.
- I hate feeling lost and alone.
- I hate every one of my selfish and petty complaints.
- I hate feeling hollow and empty inside.
- I hate feeling hideous, physically and mentally.
- I hate the low and self righteous opinions people have towards other girls like me.
- I hate the doubt and confusion that nags me regardless of knowing what is right.
- I hate the empathy I feel towards everyone and how I tend to lash out to push it away.
- I hate needing to drive those who get close away.
- I hate Starbucks, I really, really do.
- I hate worrying about how much longer my current job will last.
- I hate feeling like I've been rewarded when people don't cancel out on our plans.
- I hate coming home to an empty house everyday.
- I hate feeling unloved and unappreciated.
- I hate feeling depressed.
- I hate being single.
- I hate my lack of confidence and self esteem.
- I hate being so damn worthless.
- I hate seeing other people suffer.
- I hate being unable to sleep without my teddy bear.
- I hate being scared of the future as well as the past.
- I hate my empty existence.
- I hate my reflection in the mirror.
- I hate my insomnia.
- I hate feeling people are better off keeping their distance from me.
- I hate my wasted life.
- I hate being so weak.
- I hate that I can't even finish this list (guess we can scratch off not crying now.)
(Afterthoughts)
In between tears, I looked back over this list and realized I also hate feeling pathetic, self pity, rarely being able to reach out when I need it, and the knowledge that I'll blow all these feelings off in a few days and consider them inconsequential and pointless. Sometimes I hate getting what I deserve (thanks karma, blah.)

Tricky test
Instructions: Read the following, then click on the link below. There are two identical pictures that will appear on the screen.Almost 8,000 people were tested to see if they could identify the 3 differences in the two pictures, and only 19 were able to find all three. See how observant you are. If you can find all 3, you're one of the very few who are able to do this.
I could only Find 1 Difference See if you are better than me....

I did not enjoy this at all!!!! I am going to call my mom who sent it to me and totally bitch her out. You'll understand after you take the test yourself.
