Top Ten Worst Moments

1.  I had to wake up waaaaaaaaaay early and I only got 6 or 7 hours sleep

4. My neighbor told me two days ago that she’d give me back my Taylor Swift cd and my book by David Crowder but she hasn’t, even though I’ve reminded her 4 or 5 times already (very nicely, too, and plus, she’s NOT even using them!!!!)  

5. I can’t find my watch…again

10.  I still can’t feel my leg, and am now considering never going outside ever again…that’s how much my leg hurts, okay?  Just in case you forgot.  

 

And by the way, those last ten things weren’t complaining, they were….just complaining.  

Right Now (lyrics by Crimson Line) May 10, 2008

 

RIGHT NOW

 

I can tell/ by the sound of your voice/ coming through/ the line/ you’re sorry

well/ to tell you the truth/ so am I/ to watch/ so many of our plans/ be shot down/ and sink below/ but before I hang up/ I have to let you know/ 

CHORUS

I will always love you/ and we’ll find a way to reconcile somehow/ but for now I need some space to myself/ cause I don’t have to like you right now/

 

there have been days/ where I’ve been the one to screw/ but this time/ the blame is falling on you/ and I can’t pretend/ I’ve ready to make up/ just yet/ but while you’re waiting for me/ please don’t forget 

Top Ten Reasons I Love Being Single May 8, 2008

My best friend and I are going to a dance on Saturday. I was talking to one of my other friends about it who is going to the dance as well, as long as she has a date. She told me, “See, I can’t go unless I have a date. I’ve gone before without dates and it’s terrible. Plus, everyone else has dates there.” Um, well, in my opinion, there is NO reason why she can’t go to the dance without a date. Seriously. I think needing to have a guy in your life is stupid. Which is why I am posting a “Top Ten Reasons Why I Love Being Single.”

1. I can eat combo pizza and not worry about having kissable breath

2. I can have a lot of guy friends without worrying that it will upset my boyfriend

3. I don’t have to spend my Saturday watching a shoot ‘em up movie with my boyfriend. I can watch chick flicks or whatever else I want instead!

4. I don’t have to be under the pressure of looking a certain way for my boyfriend

5. I get to spend more time with friends and doing the stuff I love!

6. I don’t have to worry about impressing my boyfriend’s family or friends

7. I can go to dances and dance with anyone I want to

8. My parents worry less when I’m single

9. Being in a relationship can really be stressful sometimes

10. I don’t have to feel guilty when I think a stranger is attractive because I’m not with anyone.

My Knight in Shining Armor May 6, 2008

Once upon a time, there was a pretty princess who was very smart but loved to procrastinate. One day, the princess was working on her computer to frantically finish a science exam. As she reached over to jot something down, she bumped her favorite cup filled with tea sitting on the computer desk. SPLASH!!! Tea spilled everywhere. The princess gasped, “OH, no!!!” and hurriedly scurried into the kitchen to find paper towels to mop up the mess. Alas, however, the spilled peppermint tea had already leaked into the princess’ computer keyboard, and the deadly effects were already taking place. The princess remained unaware of that….until she resumed her work on her trusty iMac, Icing. Several minutes later, the princess became aggravated more and more as her computer keyboard failed to respond, one button at a time. In a panic, the princess knew she must do something. She must call her knight in shining armor, the King of Goldenview. She dialed the King’s cell phone.

“DADDY!!!” The princess wailed, “I broke my computer keyboard. I acidentally spilled tea all over my desk and it leaked into my keyboard and now it won’t work and I have a final that is due today, like in 3 hours!!!!

The king responded patiently, “Alright, I will see what I can do. Hang tight, darling.”

Now, the King was very wise. He knew his daughter could only use one type of keyboard with her computer. The one place he could purchase a keyboard for his daughter was located in a place far, far away from where he was working at Silvarado Drive in Suite L: the mall, specifically Best Buy. The King loved the princess very much so he quit his duties writing airplane manuscripts, bade his coworkers goodbye, and set off for Best Buy.

Shortly after her immense tragedy, the princess heard footsteps coming up the stairs. She lept up from her seat in her royal chambers and flung open the door. There stood the King, with a brand new computer keyboard in hand.

“OH, thank you!!! ” the princess squealed in delight as she plugged in the new appliance, plopped down, began typing happily away once more. The princess remembered that day for the rest of her life, and never procrastinated again. (yeah right!!!) THE END

Pressure (lyrics by Crimson Line) May 2, 2008

the road ahead/ stretches far and long/ I’m not sure what I’ll find/ but tell me what’s wrong/ with not having an exact answer to give/ don’t have to decide now/ I’ve got a whole life to live/

don’t pressure me/ just let me explore/ reaching towards my dreams/ is what I’m going for/ so don’t pressure me

I know you/ only want/ me to find happiness/ but sometimes/ too many ideas forced/ turn into stress/ don’t worry/ I’ll find my place somehow/ but you need to be patient/ when they’re aren’t solutions now

Nice Idea…but how about NOT May 2, 2008

Today I was talking with my dad about a dance my friends and I are going to next Saturday….the conversation started out harmless enough, but ended pretty crazy… (note * Some names have been changed to protect characters)

Me: So Joy and Austin and I are gonna do something before the dance…we’re not sure what, though.

Dad: You’re NOT going to the mall.

Me: Uh, did I say that? And Dad, I’ve been to the mall before by myself and friends…I know how to call 911 and stuff.

Dad: Well, it’s not YOU I’m concerned about. It’s other people that might be interested in you.

Me: Dad? When I went to the mall, it was like I was invisible. NO one noticed me, I promise you.

Dad: I wouldn’t be so sure about that.

Me: Whatever

Dad: I was thinking, though. If you do go somewhere with your friends, maybe *Everett should go with you.

Me: Everett? You’re talking about my best friend’s brother here, right? EVERETT?

Dad: Yeah, Everett. He’d make a great body gaurd.

Me: But Dad….I don’t NEED a body gaurd. Joy and Austin will be with me…Austin knows some tai kwon do moves and Joy always has a cell phone with her. And I can scream really loud, so if you put us all together, we’re practically invincible!!

Dad: Still, I’d feel more comfortable if you had some sort of protection.

Me: BUT Dad, you don’t get it. Everett would totally not fit in with us. He’d die of boredom. Besides, Joy and Austin and I might not even go ANYWHERE. We might end up at eachother’s houses. I wouldn’t need a body gaurd then, would I?

Dad: Oh, no, not there.

Me: Okay. But we still haven’t decided on what we’re doing, so we might go hang out at someone’s house, but we may not.

Dad: *grumbling* Well, you need to be safe in whatever you decide to do.

Me: Oh, well, I mean, Joy, Austin and I were only thinking about hitting some clubs and then maybe wandering around downtown a few hours by ourselves….*sarcastic*

Dad: WHAT???

Me: It was a joke Dad, a joke. I don’t need Everett as my body gaurd.

Dad: Well, I could always hire Tony.

Me: Haha, right…..he’s only the most annoying guy on the PLANET, Dad.

Dad: So you’d consider Everett?

Me: Hey, Dad, look, we’re at my stop! WellthanksfordrivingIhavetogoseeyoutonightanddon’tforget

Dear M April 30, 2008

Dear M,

Are you seriously a manager? I thought managers were responsible. I thought they wrote things down, like people’s work hours and schedules. You didn’t. Last week, I asked if I could work from 4-9 Tuesday and Thursday. You said I could, which I confirmed, TWICE. You nodded and said, “Yup, 4-9, I’ll put you down. ” Well, I came in today, all ready for my shift, cute uniform and all. I kind of noticed some of my coworkers glancing at me curiously for some reason. Then, Josh, another manager, came up to me and the following conversation occured:

Josh: (with clipboard in hand) You’re not working today. You’re not on the schedule.

Me: Um, yeah. Yeah I AM. M said I was, he said he’d put me in from 4-9 today and Thursday. He told me twice.

Josh: Um, well, he never put you on, we’re kind of already overloaded and I’m having to send people home. Let me check with Brenna, though. (Josh leaves and then returns)

Josh: yup, Brenna said no. We can’t use you. Thanks anyways…sorry. (walks off)

Me: (calmly) um…okay.

Honestly, I didn’t want to be calm right then. I wanted to stand up on the table and scream, “NO!!!! M said I could work!!!!!! UNLESS HE DIDN”T LOOK AT THE FREAKING SCHEDULE ALREADY!!!! I HATE WORKING HERE!!!! YOU GUYS ARE SO IDIOTIC!!!” Yes, I wanted to throw a fit. I realize that.

Thankfully, however, I contained myself, until I had left the premises. Anyways, my point is, next time, can you please follow through on what you say you’re going to do? I really had to put in alot of effort so I could get to work, and it really ticks me off when people don’t keep their word. I guess I’ll see you Friday, and in the mean time, I’ll be trying to forgive you for 1) lying to me 2) making me look stupid in front of everyone, and 3) for being a lousy manager. I guess I was expecting too much to begin with, though.

Unbelievable April 29, 2008

Life never works the way you plan it. As of recent, something happened in my life that I was not planning. I met someone. Someone that I really, really, really, really, really like. I met him at my work, of all places. We become friends. He’s the exact opposite of me, in almost every way. He’s tall, skinny, has about 4 piercings, puts way too much gel into his hair, and likes wearing really bright obnoxious colors, yet somehow looks fabulous. The problem? I like this guy. A lot. You could even go as far to say I have a crush on him. Honestly, there is no way there could be relationship with him. And yet, I want to. His values don’t match with mine, and he’s not that mature. Unbelievably still, I like him. Even though I know he’s been known to talk behind people’s backs and does stuff I don’t agree with. When I’m around him, I can’t breathe, I forget my name, and I can’t stop staring. I can’t understand it. I have no idea what I’m going to do, either. I hope these feelings will go away. Soon.

Yay! April 28, 2008

Today, I went shopping. I was SUPPOSED to find something to wear for my cousin’s wedding (which I did)…but I found these first. How fun are these?????!!!!!

That’s LAME!! April 27, 2008

I have no idea how I manage to get myself into messes. Really, I amaze myself. And once again, TADA! I’ve really screwed up. Today, the oops of the day involved me and iTunes. I’ve got an iPod touch. I love it. Anyways, today I was on my computer and noticed my trash was full. It had a bunch of songs in it, and earlier in the week, I had deleted some songs off my library. I figured that’s what was in the trash. Liking my trash to be empty, I obviously deleted everything without really looking. (Yeah, I am so smart.) Then, I remembered my iPod needed to be charged. So…I plugged it in. Of course, the iPod recognized it was connected to the computer and “synced” its playlist with my Mac before charging. When I came back a few minutes later, I only had 6 purchased songs in my iTunes library and on my iPod. I had somehow got my whole iTunes playlist in the garbage, deleted it, and then plugged in my iPod to the computer. AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I’m going to have to import all of my cds back into my library. That should only take me, oh, 3 or 4 hours. How in the WORLD do I get myself into these kinds of things????????
