*Never Knowing Without the Chances*
I worked Bruce Springsteen tonight. 4 hours of nonstop craziness! I loved every minute of it. I was able to work with some great people and I felt important. I was put in charge of all Will Call. Band Tickets, House Tickets, V.I.P. Tickets. I dealt with over 100 people. By the way, really not to fond of the headsets.. did not even work! Thank god people were polite though. This lady and her friend came up to my window and I got her license and it said Leslie Fram. I was like you're on 99x! I love the Morning X! Made her smile and I was really happy :) Then a few minutes later this guy from the AJC (Atlanta Journal Constitution) came up. I said to him, yeah you were here for George Strait and he membered me. I smiled and said write something nice about us! Made him laugh. It was a good night. There were cops EVERYWHERE. They hired an additional 40 on top of the usual. It was great cuz where I parked they were all chillin and damn some looked really good. In the box office when I first got there tonight there was this guy and I had never seen him before. Really really cute guy. Turns out he's with band so I'll never see him again lol. He's going to be in Austin tomorrow. Anyways that was just a random side note. Oh and Preston Williams, the manager of Gwinnett Arena, hung out with us for a little bit, that was cool.
I walked down to where the shuttle was going to pick me up and there were 2 other people standing there and I just started talkin'. I was like let's just take a limo! (They were everywhere just driving around) Then we got on a bus where a guy was being trained but they said hop on anyways. The 2 people with me said a lady had come by not to long before but refused to take them. As we were leaving the parking lot we see that shuttle bus 'parked' right into the pond. It was defintely a site to see. lol I told the 2 people they were lucky she was rude. Tomorrow I'm goin' to Miami Circle in the Buckhead area. It's a really great place. They have all sorts of antique stores, awesome art galleries, and this fantastic old bookstore filled with rare volumes and prints taken from old books. That sort of thing, it's really amazing. I really love my job. I'll see how I feel when I spend 8 hours working the Woodworking show Sunday lol. But hey it's a quick 60 bucks :)
Justin makes me happy :) Goodnight!

Got my schedule for March and the one for April will come soon. I found out that now that I know how to use the ticketmaster system I can sell anywhere in the U.S. It's cool to have that skill, especially if I need to utilize it someday. Anyways, last night I was able to get Nero, a SVCD/DVD type ripper. Take MPEGs and burn them onto a CD-RW. Had to crack it :) Now I can have Will and Grace Dvds! Sweet. So yeah, I have math in about 20 minutes. Starting a whole new year :) I'm not excited about starting over but the sooner I start the sooner I will be able to complete it. Interesting concept hehe.Kym's been helpin' me with all sorts of technical junk for my website, and I was finally able to figure out why the content for me calander was going behind the table. Kym.Plug for you! Damn I wish I could have comments on here lol. Someday, someday I will get my own site and be done with geocities forever!! Yes, Someday. Gots to go for now!

*To Leave it All Behind*
Well this weekend is over, and I must say I am damn proud of myself. Friday I went to work. I did will call and it went really well! Everyone was surprised at how fast I was with getting the tickets orginized and everything. I know it doesn't sound complicated but with the customers acting the way they were, everything was complicated. It was the George Strait concert and everyone was drunk and wearing cowboy hats. I felt very comfortable behind the glass and for some reason even the rudest people (and oh my god some were awful) liked me. Yeah I was like.. why are you saying thank you to me? I picked up on some liars as well. I was a little surprised I was able to spot them. These people just picked a random common name (White) and said they had tickets at WillCall. They got kicked out after they threw every name possible at us. So Friday night went well and I worked again last night. Saturday night was Arena Football. I sold tickets. That is a lot harder than people think. It is so complicated it isn't even funny. I was able to get it pretty quickly though and Bryan, the guy that was helping me was impressed :) If anyone else knows what XP levels are and can help someone who pushes a ticket up to the window and say "Can you get me close to here?!" or those people who say oh no could you check this or what about that, well I dunno, what if.. omg i was going to kill him. If you can do all that congratulations cuz it's freakin' complicated man. Back to that undecided guy, I was doing so well taking turns at one window and I wanted my own window, of course my first customer had to be from hell lol. That was the most difficult time of the whole night. After awhile I got the hang of it. ooo and we're getting headsets! I'm excited about that.. yes It's dorky to be excited over something like that but you can't hear shit when the whole box office is full of people. I was talking through the slot thing where you slide them their tickets and stuff. So Headsets kick major ass. I work again this Friday :)
I'm just happy this has worked out and I'm proud of myself damnit. Anyways, I've decided to focus completely on getting the hell out of highschool; yes it is about time. When I decided some, actually flat out say it, It gets done. Always. I'm looking forward to moving ahead, and that is a big step for me to take.

They already announced the Ozzfest 2003 lineup! :) Pretty sweet, it's pretty good so far. I work tomorrow and Tara emailed me and asked me to work this Saturday as well. So concert will call tomorrow night, and then Georgia Force ticket sales Saturday night. I'm really excited. It's a whole new thing ya know. I mean sure I won't be at a mall or a restaurant to see friends and all but this could be a vehicle to something better. To meet important people and get experience behind the glass. I needed this. Wish me luck!

I've begun to write again. Much thanks to Mel's now cured writer's block, after helping her with that I realized how much I missed it. And oh damn. I've come up with some good stuff! It's been so long and I feel so fortunate that I can just pick it up whenever; although I'm seriously considering not taking advantage of such a thing by letting it go unused for such a long time. When I reread something I've written and feel proud as a result it's a very good thing for me. I can't sing amazingly, I can't make a lay-up, but I know what I can do. I'm fantastic with kids; today I solved a mystery in my mom's class! This one boy which she's made me sit with in the past cuz he never does his work, well I sat with him today and started talking about how I wouldn't be able to see the board without my glasses(I wear contacts) and he looked away and then down and said "I can't see it either." I was like.. oh mom... I told him it's ok and to grab his clipboard and move up to see better and before dismissal he had completed his George Washington thingie. I was so proud of him! And then there's Charlotte's Web rehearsal. I'm walking down the hall to the cafeteria and these girls who are in kindergarten or first, one grabs my hand and looked at me and said "we're going to the play!" lol I was like yeah.. I don't know you but you're cute. The other one grabbed my arm and the rehearsal was boring as hell at times cuz we're still doing a cold read but it was entertaining nonetheless. I was asked to help this boy, Dakota, the sweetest child and I asked him what grade he was in. "I'm in kindergarten but I'm 6 and I'll be in first grade soon." lol he liked me. It was adorable. He can't sit still worth shit but it was the end of the day and I could barely either. Anyways, story aside, I'm good with kids, I can write whenever which I'm glad I have the ability 'cuz writer's block is a bitch; and I can act. The latter needs some refinement but it's there. I'm not stating all this in a bragging fashion, it just helps me to see what good I am capable of. In this respect, I am very lucky. I don't think I'm gunna be able to sleep for awhile :(
tomorrow is another day.

Just got back from dinner with the family. Was fun. I'm scheduled to work a concert this Friday :) and then some woodworking show at the Civic Center the 28th. That shouldn't be to bad lol. Friday I'll be doing WILL CALL and I asked how much I was going to be paid and she wasn't sure. She said at least 8 but she'd have to check! So exciting. Anyways that's about it for the day, back to chorus tomorrow. Things are going pretty damn well. It feels good but strange; I'll just have to get used to it. :)

Exactly one month from today I'll be in Las Vegas. Well, I leave on the 17th and come home the 21st. I'm excited. Daddy got my ticket today :) Thank goodness tomorrow is a weekday.. I know that sounds strange but, and this is even sadder, I need my Will and Grace fix. I love that show so damn much! They sell the dvds over in England but not over here. And you can't play those dvds here because dvd players have separate regions and only certain movies can be played on them. Don't ask me why I know this. I just know a lot of random facts and information that only benifits my amusement.

I did stuff today.. I cooked dinner tonight, angel hair pasta with basil and shrimp. It was really good if I may say so myself. Tomorrow it be rainy. I know this is going to be completly random but how exactly could someone from the past travel through time and give someone an object, and then the recipant travels back in time to find the person who gave it to him only to leave the object behind in the past. Paradox, 'cuz on some dimension wouldn't the same thing happen over and over again? Yeah, think on it..

Job training went really really well. I actually had a good time! I am now employed at the Gwinnett Arena Box Office. Hell yes! I was there about 3 1/2 hours and learned A LOT. I'm just going to have to actually do it to learn it better though. Tickmaster can be really tricky. Everyone was so nice to me, and I felt really comfortable. Some of the ladies, although much older than me, are going to be great friends. I just know it. I'm so happy this is happening!

Wow I've been to school all 3 days this week! It's not all that bad I guess.. except for that half mile walk from my car to chorus. Seriously it's that long. I just try to see it as exercise.. in the cold and rain and heat. Not all at once but on pleasant days when I'm awake and it's pretty out it's not so bad. I came home and was like.. I have to sleep. So I took a 2 hour nap and am now trying to get rid of this headache I have from wanting to sleep more. I have to leave here around 5 to go to my job training so I'd have to get up sometime! I'm a little nervous about tonight but I figure It's just one night and I'm getting on with my life. They're bringing people in from ticketmaster to teach basic selling using their system and going over Box Office procedures. 18 and workin' at an arena box office. Pretty sweet opportunity and I'm ready for it.

Justin just left lol omg we sang for an hour. His 'singing lesson' was a lot of fun! I have very little confidence with my voice and I feel bad when I actually act like I don't. He's so great for telling me I'm doing well. Very sweet. Anyways almost got hit today but it's a long story and I'm over it now. Other than that.. went to class.. went to McKendree and sat there for an hour and a half listening to the kids do a cold read. I almost fell asleep. It'll get better once they start acting. I'm gunna go eat. Food Me.

Today I went back to school after over a week of absence.. was so sick last week! It's always strange going back after so much time has passed.. but you get over it. I walk in to chorus.. my only class.. and see risers. I'm like great. I haven't been here to learn my notes or anything but whatever it was good to be back. I wore yellow today to try to perpetuate my strive for happiness. I just felt yellow. Anyways after class I came home and then went out shopping for a few hours. It was nice just going out by myself and blowing 50 bucks. My money situation will improve greatly once employed. I'm a little aprehensive but sooo ready to get on with my life. And this is the first step to moving forward. Tomorrow I have class, then the first rehearsals for Charlotte's Web at McKendree to which I am an acting coach and whatever else is needed, and then time with Justin :) He's gunna come over and we're gunna watch Jekyl and Hyde and some cartoon show called Jem. I have no idea but I hear I'll love it..haha. Now I'm just waiting to get tired..as usual. Oh and all the links work, some pages aren't completed but you can click all of them. I'm prolly gunna rearrange this page a bit more in the future. We'll see. G'night! Hopefully..

Well, Justin and I didn't go to the movies.. but it's ok. It was a nice chill out weekend. Last of them I'm happy to say, cuz I start job training on Wednesday!! My family and I went to the open house for the new Arena @ Gwinnett and I stopped by the box office to check up on how my background check and everything was coming along. Scott said to call him tomorrow but I got an email this evening from one of the women who work there, Tara, and it was info on the training. I am so psyched. Nervous but very excited. The arena is nice. It's about 2/3 the size of Philips and holds 13,000. They have a lot of work yet to do.. tiles were still missing from the ceiling in some parts but it's going to be a very nice venue. Bathrooms EVERYWHERE! 50% more women's potty rooms.. thought that was brillant. After the arena visit my mom and I went shopping and I had a good time :) Now I've just finished up chinese food and am completly stuffed. I think I'll fool around with the website a bit more. Later!

I hate reading livejournals.. makes me depressed when I realize how shitty things have been and it's selfish but I don't like reading about my friends having a good time..specially when no one seems to care whether I'm around or not. It's late and I'm just babbling..Justin is so great! I'm happy about that :) he's so wonderful to me and a lot of fun.. we're suppose to see Chicago today..much later today. Hopefully it'll still happen.. Well I better go sleep or something..gotta get up early tomorrow. I'm just now starting to write in here instead of my livejournal cuz frankly, it's more of a pain then it's worth. It's just different.

Ok I wasn't all about the Kandinsky layout.. so I'm going for another look. My websites never seem to 'flow' like other peoples, but I could give a shit. :) I make it the way I like it.. and if the color schemes and content are a little scattered then that is how I wanted it.. or have yet to fix. Anyways I'm likin' this Van Gogh layout. Of course other pages will have different artists. I love paintings and I can't afford to buy all the ones I want but having them here kind of makes me feel like they're mine. Stupid but meaningful. Isn't that usually how life goes?
