Ooh, late night activity!

It's cooling down right now, but boy, it is hot. Last night as I was listening to Smart mouths (as it's what I do), I decided, "HEY! MY ROOM IS HOT, BUT OUTSIDE IT SHOULDN'T BE!" So like a stealthy ninja, I went outside. I sat on my steps and listened to OLD NEWS. But it was good! Old news is still GOOD news. Truth! There is NOTHING like going outside at 2:30AM. The moon was really bright though, so it wasn't like it was REALLY DARK. I could actually see pretty much everything... near me. Good times. Plus my dogs were right beside me, so I wasn't like, freaking out or anything. If I can't sleep tonight, I am doing the same thing.

That's true.

Today I went shopping for the rest of my stuff. WHILE I do have a few more stuff to buy, I've got the main stuff down. My dad thinks it's too much. HOWEVER, once I get everything put away, I think it'll be good. My mom and I are living on the edge with buying my storage bins NOW. WHOOHHOO. Although when we were at Wal Mart, my mom saw her cousin, and the topic of my leaving came up. AND THE LADY MADE MY MOM PARANOID! Because she was talking about how HER niece was at school, and someone was STEALING her stuff! So my mom is all, "we must lock up your important stuff!!" So... I've got a dudley lock now. Interesting stuff, I tell you!

YEAH.

Well, not much to say. It's my brother's birthday tomorrow, and I still have to order his gift from the in.ter.net. I REALLY need to buy me a credit card.

I have a LOT to do for school... Except there's not as much stress as before!

WHOOT! I emailed my school on the weekend asking about my criminal record check not being done, AND it's said I don't need it done until NEXT year! Good thing. Although I still have to buy my textbooks. Gah.

Last night, I was reading some Calvin and Hobbes fanfiction. And some Harry Potter fanfiction. That's what you call ENTERING INTO THE VORTEX! thankfully, I didn't get too much of an urge to WRITE one. I think that'd be sucky sucky sucky.

IT'S TRUE.

I've been scratching my bug bites on my legs/foot, and now they're at that awkward stingy stage because of it. It's lame. Ughughughugh.

ANYWAY, today I didn't get as much accomplished as I wanted to. I didn't buy school stuff, NOR did I EVEN LEAVE MY HOUSE. I finished reading a book, and read another book. It was interesting... It was about a person going through the first two years after their child was born. MAN, children are CRAZY. I so don't want one for a REALLY LONG TIME. YEAH.

I moved my fan to beside me on the computer. It's HOT. AND DISGUISTING.

UGH.

Watching REBA

Today is Sunday. On Friday, I LEAVE.

How do I feel about this?

I DON'T KNOW.

On one hand, I'm happy. But on the other, I'm sad. Why did I pick THAT SCHOOL? Why did I pick THAT PROGRAM? Why did I WANT TO LIVE IN RESIDENCE? And these are the questions that are in my mind. Hm. Oh well. It'll work out. If not, in two years, I'll have something to say.

I still have a lot to buy/collect/pack. It's almost disguisting.

UGH.

Whoah! I don't know how I'm going to blog on Friday! Hopefully where we stay, there is some internet! IF NOT, FAIL! ALREADY! Dun. Dun. Dun. Unless I blog early in the morning. Before I go. Yeah. That could work! THAT COULD WORK, INDEED!

As will everything else! But for now, I'm going to watch REBA. A marathon of sorts!

- Possum

Internet!

There's never enough time to do the stuff I like. Next weekend, since I'll be alone, I will have time! I will read blogs, watch videos, and talk to my family. I need the internet for that, though. Hopefully there isn't any problems GETTING internet in my room. If that happens, I'll be sad! And I don't want to be SAD!

My internet is being insanely slow right now. I mean, it's even slower than usual. Usually it's at about 24 (or 26) kbps but it's at 9.6 RIGHT NOW!! THAT IS REALLY SLOW. It's kind of sad. I mean, really.

Gah.

Anyway, I'm done working. I got a reference. It's cool. Well, two. Except I still have to ask my boss. I just asked the lady who trained me, and it's nice. I like her, and she likes me (I think). So... I think I'll get a good reference from her! Meanwhile, my boss was always like, "YOURE DOING THINGS WRONG!" and I was like, "YOU SUCK". (I imagine Maureen Johnson saying that, in my head. Hahaha.) But yes! I didn't have to work after that stupid breakdown, so... GOOD! I'm glad that summer job is DONE. I'm surprised I actually made it through, though. It caused me a lot of stress. I even got injured on there! AND THAT IS SOMETHING I DIDN'T WANT TO HAPPEN! (Weird, huh?)

I got my eyebrows waxed today. They look spiffy. I wanted them to look like Emma Watson's (in a magazine I saw her in) but I forgot it at home. I wasn't allowed to be a copycat! SAD. (But, it's okay.) Yeah. Next on my list is to get a haircut. I want to go to this place in a mall where they wash your hair for FREE. And I'm all, FOR FREE?! Because free things are delightful. Truth!

Well, I don't know what to do. Go to bed? YEAH. No. Watch a movie? SURE.

My day.

I've got a headache.

Today, I...

• Had breakfast at a chinese food restaurant. French toast. I'm starting to like them... With lots of syrup.
• Bought a map of the world, cutting board and some pens with sticky notes on them for studying. (I was going to buy this collection of FOUR cereal bowls, but my mom said no! DISAPPOINTING!!)
• Bought a few books, INCLUDING a Harry Potter pop up book!
• I also bought a No Doubt CD.
• I sat outside the library and used their wifi for an hour. (I showed my mom some videos by the vlogbrothers: SHE LAUGHED a LOT when John was attempting to waxing his chin. (In a OUCH! kind of way.)
• I went to the mall and bought some bras. All the same kind, but in different colours, because I am unoriginal and lazy
• I had supper. It was good.
• I took a REALLY long nap. As I went to bed at like 4AM last night: I finished watching Veronica Mars (THE FIRST TIME EVER I SAW THE LAST EPISODE) and watched two episodes of The OC.
• I made some tea. And I had a smoothie my brother made me.
• I packed the majority of my clothes.
• I am on the computer.

Good night!

A week! And a day?

I've been mulling over an idea for well... the last minute, and I'm thinking of GOING FOR IT. I'll see to it that more details will be put up shortly. It will be good. Well, I don't know about good, but it'll be interesting... Well, again, interesting is subjective, but it will just be something not like this.

INTRIGUING, HUH?

I don't know. Really, I don't.

Today I watched Psych with my sister (her first time! She liked it). I also watched some Nanny McPhee (where THREE people (i.e. my siblings and I) told her that a second one was out). Good times, I tell you! GOOD TIMES. I also made pizza for supper (cheese with green peppers), and had some marshmallows. YUMMY.

Oh, and my sister started cleaning up our room. She was trying to get me to pack up my clothes, but I told her I still have a week.

A WEEK.

THAT'S NOT A LONG TIME! So... I guess the countdown begins. Dun. Dun. Dun.

I don't know. Sheesh. Oh well...

*ignores biggest concern*

- Possum

I am done work! Yeah!

Ooh, TODAY I WORKED. (Yet again.) HOWEVER, this time I had an emotional breakdown of sorts! APPARENTLY, I've been making my beds WRONG THE ENTIRE TIME! AND MY BOSS WAS ALL, I SHALL RUIN EVERY BED YOU MADE TODAY. And that made me mad. I really really wanted to leave. But I calmed down, and I was like, "last day!" BECAUSE WHY GO ON FRIDAY/SATURDAY IF IT'S A NEW PAY PERIOD? That makes NO SENSE. SO, that is my PLAN! We shall see if it works.

I even took off my lock and ripped the tape that proclaimed it mine. I AM DONE WITH MY SUMMER JOB.

YAY!

Otherwise, today was an OKAY day. I watched a rerun of Glee, and just all around HANGED ABOUT. I didn't get to the library, but since tomorrow I've got the day free, WHY NOT? Yeah! I can either go EARLY in the morning, or LATER in the afternoon. I sense the afternoon option to be more LEGIT.

YEAH. Plus I'm trying to get my sister to go with me, but I don't see that happening. My brother has a dentist appointment, though. I got out of my mine! I just have to go to it in DECEMBER. When I return home for winter break. INTENSE!

Plus my dad got a phone call today from my school saying I still owe $300 for residence. AND I SAY, WHAT?! SILLY. But he said he'd pay that when he drops me off. Or in his words, "we get it done early at 9AM, and we can go back home?" And I'm all, "YOU'RE SO DELIGHTFUL!" My mom just gave him A LOOK. Oh my father...

GJHRUJSHF! If I HAVE to go to work, I am going to SLAP someone.

- Possum

I went through my books again!

WELL, I didn't work today. But apparently, one of the rooms I did yesterday was COMPLAINED ABOUT! How do I know this? One of my coworkers told me. I was like, "PLEASE! I cleaned that stupid room!" Apparently, the ashtrays weren't WASHED. And I was like, PFFT! I NEVER KNEW SMOKERS HAD STANDARDS! I MEAN, WITH THEIR OBVIOUS ACTIONS OF SLOWLY KILLING THEMSELVES! So if my boss says something to me about that tomorrow, I am going to say that. Because right now? I don't care. I really just want YESTERDAY to be my last day, but my parents are all, no... And I'm all, YES. And my dad got into my work ethic, and I was like ... I don't care. Which is not something my parents want to hear when I'm about to embark on the rest of my life.

So I have to stick with it one more day.

Sigh.

(sigh indeed.)

Anyway, I got into my books again (in my actions of packing up my room) and ... I'm just not picking all my books this time. I mean, while I do like His Dark Materials, I don't think I'm going to have some SUDDEN URGE to read them. And if I do, I'll just ask my mom to mail them to me. Or just go to the public library in the city. It's not that hard. (Although I can't bring myself to leave the works of Sarah Dessen, Maureen Johnson and, even if it kills me, Meg Cabot with me.)

Much easier. It's still a lot of books, but not too much this time. It's good!

Even though I don't even have a full week left, I don't want to work it...

Today, I worked. I worked at a steady pace that worked out to me being done at 3PM. Of course, I didn't sign out until 3:30, and didn't even get picked up until 4:00. EXCITING. (Except not. As it was hot, bright, and anything but awesome.)

I would've went to the library, but it was closed. And when the library is closed, it is sad. I also missed the library sale on Saturday. (I just realized that. Fail.) BUT! The library has a store at a mall where they have all their used books... I think I will CHECK IT OUT. Plus since I'm leaving for school, I might donate my books or just bring them to a used bookstore for credit. That would be cool! Although when I told my mom that, she was all, "not the ones I bought you for Christmas!" And I'm all, "of course not!!" Because I don't even think I read all of them yet. (I haven't. Fail.)

Anyway... Tomorrow, I plan, if I don't work tomorrow, to go to the library (where it's air conditioned) and use their wifi! Of course, this would mean I would have to get up at my regular time (to get a ride) and just hang around until the library opens. And stay there until like, 4:30. I COULD WATCH ALL THE VLOGBROTHER VIDEOS!! Or, at least, a few of them. I can't say this doesn't seem awesome. UNLESS, I go on a wifi-ish crawl, going to the hotspots: The mall, Starbucks, Seattle (coffee... not the city), and the library to finish it off. HM. Although that would require bus time. And I haven't been on a city bus since I ended co-op... Kind of. Yeah? I believe so.

Hm. I don't know. Hopefully I don't work tomorrow. I work on Wednesday, and I don't know if I like the four day straight business. I was actually REALLY MAD that they phoned me this morning. I mean, I KNEW they were going to, but I was like, !! So was another girl who was called in. She didn't even KNOW she was going to be! So she was out ALL NIGHT, and only had like, half an hour of sleep. Horrible.

Nobody had a smile on their face this morning...

Although a little boy was all, "hi!" And I was like, "hello". And he asked how I was, and I said fine, and I asked him. He shrugged his shoulders. He looked about two. I don't even think he comprehended the sentence he asked me. It was kind of cute. (Aka: It was cute.)

Yeah!

Work work work work.

I worked today. I was rather slow, but with the assistance of one of my co-workers, I finished at a reasonable time of 4PM: It was nice! I also changed my last work day to Saturday, because my mom dropped the bomb that I must pack away my ENTIRE room. This made me sad. But, I guess it works. I'm just like ! about the books, because I don't want them to get DAMAGED while I'm gone! That would SUCK to the power of a MILLION!

I even took a break at 2PM. BECAUSE at that time, I only had ONE room left! AND it was a doozy, let me tell you. Although I didn't mind too much. I also watched That '70s Show! PLEASANT!! I love that show.

I'm contemplating removing my Facebook account. I mean, I don't use it. I mean, I DO, but I don't. I don't know. I think I will.

OTHERWISE, not much else to say.

- POSSUM

Plans!

TODAY I...

Got my old computer back! And it's all new and cool. I'm using Windows 7 right now, and it's kind of odd. Although we decided on ONE account for the entire family, so I just hope this url disappears after I finish writing this. It's true. While I do love my family, I wouldn't want them to read this! I already made my account private on another website... No need for them to read that, too. (Not that I have anything to hide... It's just weird.)

YEAH.

Anyway, nothing much happened today. Unfortunately, I didn't go to Starbucks, but I plan to in the coming days. Mostly I just wait for my package to arrive from Hong Kong postage. Weird. Hm.

PLANS
- Tomorrow pick up my cheque while at work (of course)
- Cash it at the bank
- Buy credit card
- BUY STUFF!!

It works!

- Possum

AH! A lack of internet is SAD.

My computer is a cool shiny thing that will sure make me happy. Unfortunately, I can't even go on the internet with it, because I'm still living in the old school days of dial up. Damn you dial up. Fortunately, I can buy this thing that will LET me use my dial up with it. As for now, I'm just loading it up with some music and learning to use it in general.

Exciting, exciting.

I did go on the internet briefly this afternoon, when I was waiting for my sister. SWEET BLISS! It was fast and it was nice. I downloaded yahoo messenger. Unfortunately, my sister came to the door halfway through... Not exactly enough time to do anything.

Tomorrow I'll use some wifi signals at the mall or even Starbucks. Yeah, I'll shell out a few dollahs for some good internet time. It's come to that.

Anyway, I'm looking for the thing I need, and a name that I will name my computer. YEAH. (Names are nice.)

Findings!

I was flipping through my library books this morning, trying to figure out what one to read. You know, what book will be the FIRST one that I complete? Well, I picked Intensely Alice by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. Not just because it seems interesting, but because I've been reading about Alice for SO LONG! I don't even think I was in high school when I ventured into her world... And I LOVE IT! So of course I want to see what's a-happening now! So I am going to go START IT as soon as I finish writing this.

Yeah.

But something ELSE happened when I was flipping through the books! I found a gift certificate! For the movies. 10 dollars (I checked). Now, I don't know what to do. I mean... Do I return it? Or do I just keep it? Because if I keep it, this can pay for my movie adventure in November when I go see Harry Potter. PLUS I don't know if the people will even GET the card back... You know? (I obviously made my decision and just trying to justify it at this point.) Yeah. So that was exciting enough, I'd say. You never know what you find in books... Especially library books! I actually once forgot my passport in a book, and my mom and I had to go on the shelf to look for it... We found it, don't worry.

But now my mom makes me check every book before I return it.. IT WAS JUST ONE TIME! (ha.)

Yeah. Not good.

Anyway, my computer is HERE in my city! I just have to sweet talk my mom into taking me to pick it up. Like I suspected, I won't be able to just get it in the mail. Too bad, but meh. Another exciting thing in the mail was that I got some money from a scholarship thing! Now I can REALLY pay for my own books! Well, not me per say, but STILL! IT'S EXCITING! Also: I'm going to follow my teacher's advice when he says if you get scholarship money, USE IT FOR SCHOOL. So... As tempting as it is, I'm not going to use it for LeakyCon. I'll keep that for my paycheque.

EXCUSE.

I didn't blog yesterday `cause the internet was being kind of stupid. Yeap, it was losing intelligence. Kind of intense, but what can I say?

Idea! I wonder if I should TAKE IT AND DO IT. no.

I get random ideas for fanfictions in my head. Like, after reading Wintergirls a few days ago, I had an idea of writing a story about a certain girl who has an eating disorder. I think all the clues are already there in the story, and I just have to add more DETAILS! Except I don't want to get into that whole "genre" of fanfiction again, so I won't. Well, I might, but I don't know.

It's sad, because a lot of my fanfiction ideas still go straight to Twilight. I blame this on being my first MAJOR forray into writing some... Shameful, but yes.

Ooh, my computer is in Louisville right now! While it's a bit creepy I can TRACK that stupid thing, I wish it was closer right now. It's true, I do.

Anyway, I didn't do much today. I didn't work, so I slept. And I slept. I also had some breakfast for supper--that didn't involve pancakes--so I was quite happy about that. I'm very sick and tired of pancakes right now. Ahg.

I am also planning on going to the library and movies tomorrow afternoon! That is, if work doesn't call me in. Which it won't. =) YEAH. I'm cool.

I worked, I came home, I read

I worked today. I also helped a few other people, which lead to not even leaving work until 5:45. I didn't mind, since I've only got a few weeks left before I go away to school. Aka: No more money coming in. Sad, but... I'll find another job when I'm at school (perhaps).

I don't know yet, to be honest. Probably, since I'll actually want to be able to afford such. There is only so much my parents can do from a far distance.

Speaking of far distances (haha segue!), I talked to my brother this evening. He told me about how he was near my school, and such. I asked him how the city was, and he said it was like the city HERE that I reside in now. So I guess that's reasonable. My parents already told me that, but it's nice to know from my brother.

My brother who is only six years old! (LIE!)

Nothing much else to report, really.

- Possum

I only have 4 dollars left on the card...

I finished Liar this afternoon. I'm kind of surprised at myself for being able to put it down last night, especially after the little surprise waiting for me in part two. However, I was tired. When you're tired, you will sleep. You will even stop talking to your friends to be able to do so. When you're sleepy, nothing much else matters.

Anyway, I woke up this afternoon (12:20!), and went right for the book. It was quite good, and I didn't want to stop reading it. I enjoyed it so. The first thing I wanted to do was go on wikipedia after finishing it, but I couldn't find a page for it. This makes me sad, but it got me into reading various blogs, and discover some cool sites I'll be sure to return to; I already bookmarked them.

Spoiler: I thought she'd be a cheetah or something! I was wrong.

ANYWAY, moving on!

I went on a little spending spree this afternoon in front of my computer. I bought a Harry Potter bag, a Harry Potter-esque shirt, got some free coins in the process (thank you Ginny Weasley!), and even got a nerdfighter shirt from DFTBA Records mystery shirt thing. I hope I don't get one I already have... That would be sad sad sad. If so, I'll give the shirt to my brother for CHRISTMAS.

I was going to buy him a CD from DFTBA Records for his birthday, but I didn't have enough FUNDS on my onetimeusecreditcard! I will have to buy another one. Although I am going to have to buy one, anyway... I've got a convention pass to buy! (WHICH I will do so before September.. Saves money, yes!)

Anyway, I'm gonna go read a new book now!

AH! MY COMPUTER WON'T BE HERE FOR A WEEK! (legasp.)

I worked again today. I was not pleased.

I can't work three days in a row. It's just TOO MUCH FOR ME. Although tomorrow I'm on call, so I probably won't be called in. They already have enough workers for the day and such. It's just if someone calls in sick, doesn't want to come in, etc. etc. That's when I'm like "!" As I'll be MAD at them for LACKING THE WORK ETHIC!

There was just too much to do today! Although near the end of the day, I had people helping me. That was nice of them, that's for sure. Although in my last room, the two people helping me (and doing all the work...) leave work together, and one of them was the room checker, so they just wanted to go home. I can see that. I wanted to go home, too.

AHALACK! My computer is being mailed through UPS! UPS DOESN'T COME TO MY HOUSE!! That means I'll get a call, and it'll be all, "come get your package". Unlike Canada Post, my mail lady would've BROUGHT IT TO MY HOUSE! Stupid stupid Apple. Plus it said it'll get here by August 20th. While that's a week (fairly good), my dad and brother might be home before that! My dad doesnt' know of the computer I got! (And when he phoned this morning, he was all excited about the computer he got fixed and put LOADS more of memory on it... For cheap.) And I'll be all, shuffling my feet when he asks how much it is.

My mom and I made the decision on the computer. CLEARLY. Yeah. Silly silly... hopefully it'll come beforehand.

Anyway! Yeah. I'm gonna go read LIAR.

- Possum

Hm.. Water! I wants it!

If I get lice, I blame my job.

Today, I was just cleaning a room (as usual), and at the end of the room, as I was just emptying the garbage, I spotted a box of LICE TREATMENT. EW! So I got really paranoid that I had lice, thus thinking my head was itchy... It's not a nice feeling.

It was disguisting. So I kept thinking, did I touch my head after handing the blankets? Towels? And that room was just ANNNNNNNNNGH! They moved around the furniture, and I had NO IDEA how to put it back together! So when my room checker came into the room, she was all, "!" And I was like "?" Hah. Yeah. She asked me if it was like that when I came in there. And I wanted to be sarcastic and say, "no. I moved it around for fun!" But you know, that just doesn't fly.


SASS IS NOT GOOD! SASS IS NOT GOOD!

I work tomorrow as well. My feet are not pleased.

Anyway, I'm reading Wintergirls right now, and it's quite good. I noticed that my best friend likes the author, and I read a blog post from someone who said it was good, so when I was at the library, I grabbed it. And thought I'd write in a run on sentence about it. It's good.

Unlike sass, of course.

But... I want to continue reading before bed. Good night.

- Julia

I'm excited!

I had to work today! Although I got there at 8:30 (I had first pick at the towels, practically) and it was kind of nice. I would've been out of there at 3PM, but I helped (on my own terms) someone. She was the one I helped last time, and it was good. She got lucky, as her last two rooms wanted very little to NO service. I love when that happens. In the end, I just stayed there for a half-hour more. Not much of a big deal, as everyone was waiting in the hall to sign out. At least I'm getting good karma points!

Unfortunately, I also have to work tomorrow and the day after. This makes me kind of sad, but I won't be complaining too much when my paycheque comes in! (Next friday, by the way.)

Another thing I'm looking forward to coming in?

MY COMPUTER.

It's exciting!

Although I hope it comes in soon... They still haven't shipped it yet, so I'm waiting. Yeah! I'm just like WHOAH! COMPUTER!! It's exciting.

Yes.

Ha.

I went to the library!

My mom and I watched Meet the Fockers this evening. Hm... That was kind of awkward. I never really noticed that before, but I guess it wasn't that bad. I was watching Meet the Parents last night, so I thought I'd finish it up with some chimichangas.

I love how they say that word so many times!

Yeah.

So today I went out with my mom, since I had no work. It was nice, although it was insanely hot and humid. All I can say is EW! Although I did end up going to the library, which was FANTASTIC! Although instead of just dealing with my library card, I took stuff out of my mothers. And that was nice, as there isn't any fines on that thing! So I got five books out of there, and I hope to read them quickly, so I can go back. I very much want to cram in some late reading before school starts.

I LOVE going to the library because I see all these books I WANT to read, but am too cheap to actually BUY! SO I get to just take them home, and read! Lucky lucky lucky, I say. I love the library. =)

I was happy to see the copy of Tomorrow, When The War Began was starting to look old. That means people actually took it out! PLUS some of the books were missing in the series. Unfortunately, they were the books I haven't read, but... I'm happy to know someone is reading them. Yeah.

Ah reading! BLISS!

I picked the movies I'm taking!

I have to make this quick, but today was okay. My dad and brother FINALLY left on their little trip, and all I can say is, TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH! Seriously. They were supposed to go after my brother's grad. That's my dad for you.

He doesn't know the concept of time.

So today I went through my movies that I'm bringing to school. I ended up with about 53 of them. My mom took some away (Star Trek, Jurassic Park) but I got away with taking Harry Potter and Friends. I'll have to see what my brother and dad say to my selection later when they get home.

Hm. I don't think there will be much objections. Sure, they'll probably look for the Harry Potter movies in November when the movie is released, but... c'est la vie. That's all I can say, really.

Next up: My books.

Nails... The cause pain.

Hm... I didn't really do much today. Sleep, tv, sleep, computer, television, outside, computer. I was planning on taking a jog today, but it's kind of warm outside. Yeap. Oh how my plans fail. Seriously.

Yeah.

I gave my mom to buy me a fridge this evening when she went out with my dad, but I don't know if that'll happen. If it does, success! If not, I'll ask for my $200 dollars back. Yeah, I had $200 in my wallet. That's amazing. And I bet you that will never happen again.

Truth.

So I realized why my cheque was a bit smaller! I got the PAY PERIOD WRONG! I went to look at the calender this afternoon, and I was like, "oohhh..." And my dad explained to me, and I was all, "WELL, that's okay!" So my next cheque, I'll get paid for the civic holiday and such. Sheesh. And here I was, having a little temper tantrum about my work habits. And here I am, thinking about dodging the phone call tomorrow to miss work!

Silly me.

It's just.. ugh, work. I hate cleaning up after people. PLus my nails always break when I'm making the beds. This may seem like a really girly thing to say, BUT IT FREAKIN' HURTS! Because not only does it have to break (the nail), I have to rip the hanging part off so it doesn't get caught and cause MORE pain! It is not fun, my friend. It is not.

Yeap.

Anyway, not much else to say.

GHA.

I had to work today. I also got my pay cheque, which was extremely disappointing. Last time I got paid TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS MORE! That's a drastic change! It put me into a frenzy of a rage. Well, a small one. Plus I had to do the stupid pension plan thing again. What I said to that?

"I seriously hope it's MY OWN PENSION I AM PAYING FOR!" And my dads response? "You're in Canada." So yeah.. I'm supporting unknown people that won't be alive to support ME! Awesome, amirite? Of course!

Ah. I had a sort of bad day, just because. Although I don't want to talk about, so I won't. It wasn't horrible, but it made ME feel horrible. I was quiet, and my mom noticed. I just played it off on my stupid cheque.

PLUS I went to a store to check out a tv they had on sale (for $200 dollars) and it was SO BIG! I thought it was a flat screen, but it was not. My mom wouldn't let me get it. She said it would take too much room. I agreed, and bought a croissant instead.

I like bread too much.

Well, I'm gonna go. Got some other blog stuff to do!

I now have the potential to buy things online and... I can't figure out what to buy! This is how I am, though. Like, when my mom got me a gift card to Indigo, it took me literally hours to figure out what to get. It's bad, really. Plus since I have the WANT to use my "credit card" now, I'm all ! I went through the HP merchandise website, DFTBA Records, dipped my foot into Amazon, and I still can't figure it out.

Shameful, really.

Huh.

I'm so indecisive, it's almost disguisting.

Anyway, today was good. I didn't have to work, and I just hanged around my house. It was full of reading and sleeping. Which, I have to admit, is a perfect way to spend a Friday. Plus I was kind of a rebel, and sneaked my dog a piece of steak from supper. I locked my two small dogs inside, walked up to my big dog all stealth, and let him snork (yes, snork) it up.

I'm sure he loves me even more right now.

YEAH.

Well, I'm off to check out the Disney store.

Just some work stuff.

I'm moving in my seat to the music.

What's the music?

I will check my itunes while I am in constant motion.

My upper body is groovin' to the movin'.

*checks music*

Oh, it's Muse. Why am I not surprised?

Anyway, I worked today. Because a lot of my rooms were no service, or barely any, I was able to finish early. That doesn't mean I left early! Oh no! I was the first one done, but I was nice and helped three other people: I was the second last person to leave. The very last person was one of the people I was helping. Nobody else stays behind to help! Except I know how STUPID it is to be the only one left working because everyone left: So I thought to be a kind soul! Yes.

Although the first person I helped, because she was also done early (from my assistance, I might add), she helped me on two of my rooms. So I guess we equal out. STILL!

I get paid tomorrow! Except this time I REALLY AM giving my mom money for my computer, and I gotta buy a fridge. I think the tv will be on the next cheque... And I'll put some money into the bank. Yeap. I am being COST SAVVY. Except not, because things are so expensive! I don't know how I'm going to be able to sneak in Orlando.

This makes me frown.

I just took a break where I looked at credit cards, and got some toast with nutella on it. MAN, I am going to have to get some of this before I leave for school. YUMMY.

Mostly about my feet.

I wore two pairs of socks today.

This made my shoes fit, AND I didn't get any blisters. Which is quite an achivement, because usually blisters happen with new shoes. Although my feet are still a bit sore, it's not intense. SADLY, I work tomorrow as well! I mean, I'm happy with the money I will be getting, (I AM drunk on the power it brings!), but at the same time, I'm all whoah.

WHOAH being tired and not feeling too well.

Actually, when I got the phone call this morning (I was on call), I couldn't lift up the receiver! My mom was all "answer it!" and I was all, "I can't!" AS MY HAND WAS NUMB, AND WAS USELESS! So I had to use my left hand, and it was weird. Truly. When you have to use your less than dominating side of body, it's all ... worthy.

Truly. Only ... can express what I had to deal with.

However, I have to be a nerd and google random information about feet and such. My brain is all, I thirst for knowledge!

I mailed in my residence money! yay!

I got new shoes! I got new shoes! I grabbed the first size that I found, tried them on, said they were good, and put them in the shopping cart.

Later when I got home, walked in them a bit, I realized something: It's a little big in the back! And I can't tell my MOM that, or else she'd be all, "I told you to try on another pair!" You know, the classic "I told you so" thing. And I really don't like DEALING with that sort of thing.

So I'll just see how work goes tomorrow with those things.

*turns around to look at them*

They're white. And have some fancy GEL inserts in them. So I was like, "eh! They're good". AND I HOPE THEY ARE. Yes! As I have decided (well, sort of) that I am going to try and get a job at a hotel in Sault Ste. Marie. I don't know WHY, but I think it's solid work! OR I might just try something else before I even dread myself into that... But it's nice to know I have an option for weekends!

YEAH.

I mailed off my residence today, with some SPEEDY SERVICE THAT COST 10 DOLLARS. Intense! Although $10 to a $100 late fee isn't that bad, I guess... That was my reasoning, anyway. Mhm.

YEAH! I cashed my cheque in finally! And the bank was all, "student credit card?" and I was all ! "I'll ask my mom..." haha, yes. VERY cool. Mhm. I did leave some of my cheque in the bank, but I cashed the majority of it: I had STUFF to buy! Which I did... I even bought my mom lunch. Yeah! I thought it was a nice gesture.

TRUE.

Today at work, I watched Reba. Twice. It's a common thing.

It was a holiday today! I'm never usually aware of it, so it's not that exciting.

Plus, I had to work.

Fortunately, I got time and a half (?) due to working on the holiday, so that was okay enough. Yes. It wasn't that bad of a day, although it was a bit rushed. Plus my feet were sore. Actually, it's not my entire feet, but the middle part? The part above the heel, and below the toes... Commonly known as the arch area? YEAH. And I mention this to my mom, and she's all, "I TOLD you I would buy you shoes!" So... Yeah. I must get on that.

I know, I know! I should. (I am taking your advice, Leah! IT IS HAPPENING THIS WEEK.)

My sister just said that "Little Soldier" by Dave Days reminds her of The Princess and the Goblin. Have you ever seen it? I just did some research (on wikipedia) and it was a bad movie! I liked it, though. I haven't watched it forever and ever, though! If I searched a bit (or asked my mom), I'm sure I can find it. Maybe that's what I'll do...

PERHAPS.

Anyway, today was good. I watched a few episodes of Friends and Psych, respectively. I also had some pancakes, and cereal. It was a very Breakfast Filled Day. And now, when I think of the pancakes, I want to throw up. I think I'm just getting sick of pancakes... My parents make them too much! ALTHOUGH I know I say that now, but probably in a few months, I'd kill for my parents pancakes!

Oh. Yeah. Anyway.

A random memory I don't even recall!

For the next month, I'll be writing TWO blog posts a day. One for this lovely place, and one for another AWESOME place. I will not try and double post them, though. As I mean, would that be exciting? No, it wouldn't be.

Today, there will be a random memory from my childhood that my mom told me about a few days ago:

My mom took my siblings, cousins and myself for a walk when we were younger. Since we live in the country, there are animals about. Not to the extreme where we see deer just prancing around our backyard, but enough where it's a BIG DEAL when a bear decides to scare our dogs. Yes. Anyway, back to the walk: We were walking to a bridge that's down my road, and having a blast! Well, I don't know for sure, as I cannot even remember, but I imagine so. And what do we spot?! Bunnies! Little baby bunnies. Now, before my mom can even react, we've picked them up and were cooing over them.

My mom mentioned at this point that she was surprised we were even able to catch them, as they were quite fast. Which I have to agree with her, because whoah, rabbits = fast! Common knowledge, no?

Anyway, in the end, my dog grabbed the rabbits from our hands and killed them. Of course, we were shocked, and started to freak out. My mom said she had a LOT OF TROUBLE to calm us down. As the things we were just petting DIED! I mean, there was six of us, crying. I imagine my mom was over her head a bit. But she got us calmed down in the end, because to this day, I don't cry when I see a rabbit. I just think they're cute.

Not traumatized? CA-CHING!

My mom said she didn't even think it was a good idea for us to pick up the bunnies, as the parents would've been all ?? about that. She didn't even see the parents around either. She even said if the dog didn't kill them, she would've let us keep them as pets! Opportunity lost, let me tell you. You don't know how long I wanted a pet rabbit.

Somehow, my parents always spoiled that dream. So yes, disappointing.

Anyway, as per suggested, here are the links that had me distracted:

Twilight:
New Moon:
Eclipse:

It's the script, if it was more straight forward: =) Enjoy.
