6/23/04 Enough to make you shed a tear or two Today work pretty much blew again. So much dropped today! All the damn patio furniture and crap... And tomorrow I have 400 firsts in shoes alone. NTM two whole aisles in Domestics, several bigger misc. aisles, 33 counts... It's just cuz I am alone this week. All the crap happens when I am alone... Went and saw Dodgeball. It was cute. I watched 'Bad Santa' last night. OMG! The opening mono. is SO me! The termonolgy and everything -- too sweet! (Suck ass - I've used that for years!)
I AM OFFICIALLY PROMOTING AMERICAN CHERRY! CHECK THEM OUT NOW OR I WILL BEAT YOU WITH A FLIMSY STICK! **You know you like it** Saturday I get to go visit my honey, Orgazmo. I am dragging Sparkley Applesauce with me. I get to meet his boyfriend for the first time... kinda nervous on that one. "Hi. I'm your boyfriends ex-girlfriend. The last girl he ever dated and probably ever will. How are you?"
6/22/04 Misc. Whining This week sucks ass. Yesterday I went into work at 4AM and got out at 4PM. Today I went in at 3:30AM, (worked half an hour off the clock) but got out on time at 12:30. Tomorrow is gonna be iffy but I have to get out on time to go see 'Dodgeball' with a friend of mine. Then Thursday is another atrocious day, and hopefully Friday will be alright. On another note, I am broke and not too happy about that... Oh well. My life: you would think I'd be used to it by now!!
6/19/04 Concert Suprises First off, I can't believe how long it's been since I last wrote! I know I've been busy and all, but... This weekend was my Blessid Union of Souls concert. I got out of work early and my mom took the day off so we could go. Drove the 3+ hours to get to this... "special" bar with nothing but red whore-house lighting. Scary - just frightening... We got there an hour and a half early, so we just sat at the closest table and waited. We were surrounded by young grunge kids - no one you would think would listen to BUOS. So, we were in wondering mode. Two other woman were there for BUOS and ended up sitting with us. Long story to short, BUOS cancelled - blow! Our two new friends bailed, but we stayed. Hey - three hour trip, $ lost via ticketmaster & $10 for parking?? My ass is staying! It ended up being 7 local bands playing around 5 song sets each. There was only one I didn't really like - Faction 69 I think it was. The music was awesome, but the lead singer was spastic. Head banging and dancing around the stage like a crack fiend, making out virtually with the mic, taking off his shirt (put it back on!)... No! Ducks! There were a few bands I REALLY liked. Money for Gyros is one you should all check out. I bought the demo cd and a shirt. The lead singer, Jon, was nice enough to sign my cd for me :) They'll have their own page here soon. Other highlights include Another Found Self, American Cherry and The Jaded. I walked outta there with like 4 demo cd's. So all 'n' all, the night was a suprise success. The concerts didn't get done 'till after 1AM. (Figure in that the show started at 7PM and we got there at 5:30... I didn't get in my driveway until about 5AM! And all next week my partner in price change crime is on vacation, so I am solo -- what a damn nightmare!
6/7/04 Weekend Unhappenings This weekend pretty much blew. I just stayed in (despite the glorious weather.) I tried all weekend to get ahold of people, but alas... no luck. Then, Sunday... I get a call from my new "Bro" that he's coming out for a quick minute. We ended up going canoeing at 10pm - illegal, nay? I won't go into lengthy details - so long story to short, the guy said he was gonna be naked for a few minutes. Me and my naive little mind thinks walking around in boxers. No biggie... I look up and - he wasn't kidding. I mean, I'm a big girl and all - nothing I've never seen before... But the shock factor was - !!! - It didn't seem to bother him, so ---- I guess in a way I'm envious of him. Meaning, I wish I had that kind of self confidence and "no big deal" attitude. (Not that I wish I had been the one hanging out w/my wang out.) (QUICK - WHAT MOVIE??) Maybe if I had a bit of that I wouldn't be so GD shy. K - I probably would be. So that was the "high"light of my eventful weekend. Chronicles of Riddick comes out on the 11th. Can't wait - Vin is my eye candy :) -- Along with Keanu Reeves, Eminem, Ralph Fienes and Johnny Depp...
6/4/04 Phone Issues I am quite perturbed - I am just sitting here working on my internet stuff, and my phone starts vibrating. (Which I don't usually object to) "New text message". Ok... Check it and I see the dreaded words "your service has been suspended". What the hell - I haven't even recieved my first bill yet! So I go online and make a $60 payment and then call customer service to chew them out. Apparently I have gone over my spending limit and that's why they turned me off. How much was I over? 30 cents! Now it'll take 12 hours for my phone to be turned back on -- for 30 cents! "They are very strict about the spending limit" - no shit!
Today I tried calling - like - six people. No one is picking up or home, so I leave contless voicemails and messages. I don't know why I bother - no one ever calls me back. (Can't now, anyways) I think it's a sign or something: no one likes you. Stop bothering these nice people! And this weekend I was going to drive down to see the only man who matters to me in this world, and he's sick. So, that puts a severe damper on my plans. And all this up-coming week my parental unit will be working about the same schedule as I, which means no time alone. Crappy. So goes the story of my life...
6/3/04 The Rambling Begins I had to go into work today an hour early - it about killed me. You wouldn't think that getting up at 2AM instead of 3 would make that much of a difference... I got home and crashed. Now I am all hopped up on painkillers because my wrist is killing me. (Old scanning injury :) ) Yesterday I went to Circuit City and bought a Matchbook Romance cd - pretty good, I must say. I also purchased (more) DVD's. I officially have over 400 DVD's! What a minor accomplishment... I have a crap load to watch, though. I buy all these movies and then have to watch them all before the reciepts expire. I am not one to hold one to skippy movies... I recieved Stripped on vinyl today in the mail. !!! It's freakin' awesome - I want to look at it, but am restraining myself. I want to keep it preserved in all it's shrinkwrap glory. I'm certain that something like this will be a collector's item if it isn't now.
Damn, I'm hungry. All I've eaten is a soggy breakfast sandwich from work and a .25 granola bar thing. Ahhh... sweet nourishment.
