You don’t want to make me…hungry.

July 2, 2008 I'm a STAR!, blog whore, completely random crap, good times, growing up, ranting & raving, updates

I must be a geek: I’m quoting lines from The Incredible Hulk now. It’s only a matter of time before I start quoting Star Wars, like Sarah. P.S. I’m not linking to those movies because I’m pretty sure you’re all smart enough to know what they are, and if not they have this really cool search engine called Google. Have fun :)

Anyway, I’m a tad bit cranky - in case that observation wasn’t clear to everyone from the paragraph above. Why? Cause it’s hot out and I don’t have a bathing suit :( well I do but I don’t have one of those sun tanning bathing suits and I really wanted to work on my tan today. I’m aiming for a bit of colour this summer, since I usually tend to avoid all means of sunlight and cover myself in sunscreen. But this year, I want to embrace the sun and get some colour to my normally pallid complexion. Ok, so it’s not usually pallid looking and my Granny says I have a gorgeous complexion, but in the summer I definitely glow - and not in a good way. Every other person in the universe has a tan but me it seems, so I’ll be working on that this summer.

At least I got the interview with West 49 out of the way. It’s hard to tell how it went, and since it won’t even be the guy who interviewed me making the decision, it’s really hard to say. I thought I did pretty well - I didn’t quote Samuel L. Jackson this time. That’s gotta be a good thing. I was friendly and open, instead of quite and reserved like I was at my Blockbuster’s interview. He said that if the manager who’s doing the hiring likes what she reads about my interview, I’ll get a call by the end of the week and hopefully land another interview - and then a job. I really need a job, I’m like drooling at the prospect of making money here. This job would be a total bonus because I wouldn’t have to hide myself at all :)

While I was doing my interview, Booth was visiting a temping agency at the mall and doing tests on his intelligence. The lady was so impressed with his answers that she told him he would hear back from them by the end of the week. Booth has factory work experience, so he didn’t even need to watch the video :) I’m so proud hehe. I guess this means nobody can say anything about Booth “not working”, haha :) The bonus to this temping agency is that all of the jobs are in factories around the tattoo shop Booth is managing, so that’s good.

Bahh. So I’ve made a slight mental list of things I want to accomplish this summer; here they are:

  • Get somewhat of a tan so that I don’t glow in the dark anymore. I might have to start going to a tanning bed, because I don’t know if I can sit still long enough outside to tan.
  • Get a job. Preferably one that I’ll have when I am fully recovered from my surgery and one that I can keep throughout the school year.
  • Get my Smart Serve - this of course will have to wait until I get a job, so that I can afford to take the test/course thing.
  • Save up as much money as I possibly can - this, again, can only be done if I get a job though.

So ya, that’s a quick mental list. I also want to read all the books I possibly can before school starts, since I just know I won’t have the time to do that when I’m trying to ace everything and get honors - which, by the way, I better get.

AND, because I haven’t had the time to update about the long weekend; I’ll do that now. It was pretty uneventful for the most part. Dragon’s hubby bought like 800 bucks worth of fireworks, and Booth set them off on Monday night. McShout and her boyfriend and a friend came down to watch too. I didn’t do much other than helping Dragon and Booth garden and such when I was there.

Now I’ve got to get back to vacuuming. I think Salem is allergic to dust and hair, because every single time we vacuum he ends up barfing. All. Over. The. Clean. Floor. It’s awesome. One day I came home and kicked a pile of it. In bare feet. That was awesome too. Not.

Pour me something tall and strong

June 29, 2008 I'm a STAR!, completely random crap, good times, updates

Again, another uncreative title on my part. Taken from [obviously]  a song…but the origin of the title of this post isn’t really that important. I’m just rambling because I’m pretty tired.

So last night I spent the evening at McShout’s watching B class movies and catching up. It was pretty sweet, she’s got a really crazy cat that was an endless source of amusement for us. Then today Dragon and Booth picked me up because today was Dragon’s son’s birthday. He turned 7. He had a wicked birthday if I do say so myself; we went crazy on decorations and his parents spoiled him with wicked presents and we had a pig roast for dinner. Good day all and all. I got a few funny videos of Booth playing with the helium from the balloon and talking like Alvin and the Chipmunks haha. I’ll try to post them soon.

But ya, I’m tired. There isn’t much to report in my life right now and I can’t focus on a topic long enough to write a decent post today. I’m still working on getting my license, and I still have that interview on Wednesday that I really hope I get the job for. Other than that, nothings’ really new.

June 26, 2008 I'm a STAR!, Sarcastica!, blog whore, completely random crap, good times, growing up, ranting & raving, updates

So lots of new and exciting news in the world of Sarcastica :D I have a car! Well sort of…it’s my mom’s old Hyundai - she got a new Ford Focus and I get her old car for school and stuff. And I also booked my G2 driving test for the middle of July! Hopefully my upcoming surgery will be after that date…because I’d like to have my license before I go into the hospital, just to know that I have it…ya dig? I still will probably have to wrap up my drivers ed in cars and stuff, but they say you can do that even if you have your G2 and the discount on insurance will still apply once you graduate from the course so no worries there.

Today I got a lot accomplished. I applied to a temp agency that provides temporary administrative jobs to people, hopefully I get in. You can make a lot of money - especially if you work in government offices hehe. I also decided to get in some driving hours, and apply at stores at the mall. I put out 8 resumes at my favourite mall stores and got an interview right away with West 49 next week so hopefully that pans out. It’s only a seasonal position but there is the opportunity to get hired on all year round since I’ll be going to school near by.

So ya, things are looking up. I’m hoping my surgery won’t be until early August (or preferably not at all but I do need it) that way I can get my license and get a job with West 49. Hopefully I’ll be trained before I go in, and hopefully I can still work after a week of recovering from my surgery. It shouldn’t take me too long, I could probably manage well enough with crutches on cash. I need to pay that Visa bill haha.

Proof I’m Tech-Stupid - among other things

June 20, 2008 I'm a STAR!, LOL, Sarcastica!, annoyances, blog whore, changes, completely random crap, good times, growing up, linkage, pictures, updates

So my friends, it looks like my baby must undergo some serious healthcare. I’m talking about my lovely laptop. Me being the tech-stupid loser I am didn’t realize that my AVG 4 Free’s virus vault was overflowing with, well, viruses. I had no clue that you had to go into that vault and clear out all the viruses AVG caught. Um, Avitable…you could have told me that. And that Spybot you told me to put on my computer? Ya it allowed so many Trojans, my computer is whacked. Too bad I can’t stay mad at hairy gorilla men, since they are so rare.

Anyways, Ears is taking a look at my laptop tonight. Booth will be standing beside my baby while Ears tries his best to fix all that I’ve done wrong to my darling laptop. Hopefully he will succeed, and get rid of all those viruses. If not, well I guess I have to wipe it clean and start all over. That means I will lose all of my stories. And pictures. But more importantly stories. So ya, thanks Avitable lmfao. I’m totally kidding, but next time folks, make sure that advice is followed by a huge email explaining how to use the products. I’m seriously tech-stupid!

So last night I went out to dollar beer night with some friends. It really was not my scene, can you say ew? The girls’ bathroom was DISGUSTING with toilet bowl water overflowing all over the floor and drunk chicks falling everywhere - I mean maybe that would appeal to some guys but definitely not to me. I had some guy hump me from behind when I was trying to get back to where Booth was - not once, but four times. He apologized after every time to make it look as if the people behind him were shoving, but really, how can your frontal area be the only area that gets pushed forward? *Shivers* Unfortunately there is no footage of me falling around and wearing a crown. Kiwi forgot the crown and I didn’t bring my camera.

The sleep over that I had with the girls was that - a sleep over. We all passed out as soon as we got in. Then one of my friends dropped me off at Booth’s house on her way to work so I could hang out with Booth. We went to the garden center with Dragon and the boys and gardened. Yup, I gardened! Not very well mind you, but I’m learning!! I’m sure I’ll get better. I sort of want to work on Mom’s garden next…although that would be a lot of work haha. Talk about weeds…haha.

And tomorrow Booth is taking me out for a movie! We’re going to see The Incredible Hulk. I’m excited, we haven’t had a date night in a while - since we saw You Don’t Mess With The Zohan (hilarious movie, I recommend it, especially if you like Adam Sandler humour - this is by far his best movie). I finally got all those pictures to upload onto Facebook (before my laptop was discovered to be riddled with viruses that is). The above picture is one that a lot of people like, it’s one of those “totally caught the moment” photo. I wish that the zoom wasn’t on, and that it wasn’t so close to our faces…but other than that I love it. What do you guys think? Hmmm?

Sorry…gushing again. I’ll stop now; I’ve got to finish reading The Host by Stephenie Meyer anyway!

June 3, 2008 I'm a STAR!, Sarcastica!, adventures, annoyances, blog whore, college life, completely random crap, family, friends, good times, growing up, insecurties, issues, opinions, rainbows and butterflies, ranting & raving, updates

Ok so be prepared for one of those totally gushy intros, in which I blab on and on about how lucky I am. Deal with it…I’m happy, so you all get to listen to me ramble about why I’m happy.

As I previously mentioned, today was Booth’s birthday. I came over bright and early with breakfast in bed (which was half a tea and half a bagel since I don’t have two dimes to rub together). I gave him the card and present that I got him - and his face lit up for both. The shoes were pretty sweet if I do say so myself, and his eyebrow lifted at the card I got him. I figured out why at dinner…apparently the singing card I got that sings “Lady Marmalade” means “will you have sex with me tonight?” in French. Yes people, I had no idea what that very popular song meant until Dragon, my mother and Booth’s mother told me what it meant. How mortifying. If I had known what that meant, I wouldn’t have excitedly shown Booth’s mother and my mother at dinner. Anyways, after I gave him his gift…his mother came over and took the two of us out for lunch. It was really good - I got the Balsamic Chicken Penne and Booth got the Chicken Penne meal. Booth’s mom got a salad and we ordered a fruity cocktail (which I loved) for me and beer for Booth.

After lunch, I actually went and had a nap because I really haven’t been feeling so hot lately. My back and bones have just been killing me and my lovely lady cramps don’t help the matter. Around 7 or 8 my mom came over for some dinner and cake and we were joined by Booth’s mom as well. That was fun. It was good seeing my mom out of the house socially. Even though she doesn’t really know Dragon and Booth’s mom, I just thought she should be out of the house and hanging out. We just basically talked about how I really need to work on my French, Booth and how awesome he is, the party on the weekend, and Dragon’s worries about her still broken and painful fingers. Mom had to leave early, but I’m hoping she’ll want to hang out with Dragon and Booth’s mom again.

After everyone left, Dragon, Booth and I were chilling in the garage talking about my future endeavours. Now I know this is going to come as a shock to some people (total sarcasm there by the way folks) but I’m not too sure I want to do Child and Youth Work. Like I would really love to be a Child and Youth Worker, but I honestly don’t know if I can handle it. I don’t think I could be the kind of person who is able to get attached without getting attached and leave work dramas at work. I would totally be the type of person who brings it home and thinks about it and what I could have done. So on Sunday I applied for the General Business Admin program at the same college I was planning on attending. Business is one of those programs that you can definitely branch off into and that there is endless of possibilities for. I can branch off in to focusing more on writing or whatever I want to do really. I’ve always thought it would be cool to have my own business, or at least have extended knowledge in business.

I can just picture all of my readers slapping their foreheads and exclaiming in strained voices “Holy crap Sarcastica! Pick something already!”. Yes I know, I’ve changed my mind a lot. I still want to do all of my ideas, but here’s the list broken down for ya:

  • There isn’t a whole heck of a lot of steady work in Journalism.
  • It’s really a 50/50% chance if I make it as a writer…
  • I am completely and totally the kind of person who would take home my work as a Child and Youth Worker. I don’t think I would be able to get the situations of clients out of my head, and if I couldn’t help a child I would certainly stress about it. I also don’t think I’m very good at it anymore…since I suck with dealing with all that stuff that’s going on now.

So you can see why I would be considering doing a totally completely different program, one that I hadn’t really given much consideration over in the past. I really think taking a Business course would be a smart move. I think I would like it a lot. It may not be what I had in mind, but it could be better. It would be more easier on my bones.

Now all I have to do is call the college and see if I even qualify for that program. If not…well I really don’t know what I’m going to do. Probably take the courses required to get in, because 3 years in school is a lot of money to throw away.

I think the school boards made a bad decision when they took away grade 13. Somebody slap me already, holy frig.

Anyways, I’m super excited now and full of non-stop chatter because I stole the Internet hookup in Booth’s room and brought my laptop over, so now I can go online and actually give this blog a somewhat decent post because I don’t feel bad for “hogging” the computer :D

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day. I’m staying over at Dragon’s because tomorrow she has an appointment at the fracture clinic about her wrist, and Booth has to drive her so I have to watch the boys - which I have no problem doing. I plan on cleaning up a bit for Dragon (and Booth’s bedroom is SUPER messy - that’s where I have to stay when I come over. He gets the couch) and work on my story ideas. Dragon and I were talking tonight about how she also loves writing. Hopefully she thinks I’m good…that’s one of my biggest insecurities and why I don’t let people read my work. I’m terrified they’ll start laughing and be all like “OMG Sarcastica you SUCK!”

And this evening’s treat; the random-ass sappy story of the day: Before going downstairs for one finial smoke, Booth came over to me and kissed me, paused after a moment and looked down at my shirt collar. I was confused and looked down and guess what was there? The claddagh ring he bought me like 3 weeks ago that I lost after only having it for three days!! I missed it so much, even after only wearing it for a solid two days. He found it when cleaning his room - it was at the bottom of the garbage bag from when I had been cleaning his room. It was so movie-like and sweet. I totally feel like a sap ass!

Coasting

June 2, 2008 I'm a STAR!, Sarcastica!, annoyances, blog whore, changes, completely random crap, family, good times, issues, life lessons, memories, ranting & raving, updates

Things have been rather crazy for the past couple of days and I haven’t had the time to update. There are a couple of pictures of me shakeboard dancing…but they are on other people’s cameras so I can’t really say when I will be able to get my hands on them.

Embarrassingly enough, I didn’t work for the full 4 days. By the end of the 2nd days shift, my back was killing me. It got progressively worse as the night went on and by morning, I could barely even walk to the bathroom. I had to call in and explain my situation to the program director person, and they were understanding but at the same time a bit annoyed. Hello, it was four days and I couldn’t even do it. That’s a wee bit pathetic.

But I guess it’s my own fault…at the beginning of my 2nd shift I decided to work extra hard and dance non-stop. I even tried on the mascot costume and danced around. Unfortunately, I guess I threw out my back doing all this. My back is still killing me :( I called my friend to see if she could take over, and thankfully she could.

This weekend was busy for me. Jo had her birthday party Friday night, and Booth stayed over the entire weekend (in the family room of course). I have decided I don’t really like birthday parties - they usually end up with me having a major headache thanks to the amount of drama that swirls around them.

For one, Jo invited one of my ex-boyfriends…Reaper. Booth was on his guard because at first he felt insecure, but the second he met Reaper he relaxed because there definitely isn’t a threat. Reaper’s girlfriend though, didn’t feel that way about me. She got pissed at me because she thought I was hitting on Reaper, which is hilarious. I only had like a total of 5 conversations with the guy, and every time we talked Booth was involved because they were usually conversations about tattoos and drawing (since Reaper wants to sell his art work to tattoo shops). Well this at least explains why in the middle of one of our conversations Reaper’s little girlfriend raced over and started sucking face with him, leaving Booth and I to look awkwardly at each other.

That really floors me. When Booth is having a conversation with someone, no matter who it is, I would never go up to him and interrupt him - let alone race up and start sucking face with him. I don’t care who it is he’s talking to, there is a time and place for everything. Kissing someone while they’re trying to have a conversation is a bitchy and rude move. This girl Reaper is dating contributed to the drama that night (which didn’t really involve me) and I definitely don’t want to see her around again. It was disgusting to think that she could think that when clearly, I’m 100% happy with Booth. Jo even told her that.

Saturday was a busy day too. It was my dad’s party for all of his friends. It was a really awesome time for the most part, save for some parts. I was pleased to see Booth getting along with all of my extended family, and by the end of the night Mel told us that she couldn’t wait until we got married because we connect so well, and Booth fits perfectly with every aspect of my life.

Even the not so perfect aspects, Booth fits. He stands by. I was stunned this weekend because he knew exactly what to do and what to say in sticky/awkward situations. It definitely wasn’t a show. I know that any of my ex-boyfriends would have long since taken off after witnessing that sort of thing. Not Booth. You know a guy is for real when not only is he not afraid to comfort you, but he is also not afraid to comfort your family. Not to mention, he fully intends on accompanying me to all of my hospital appointments. I have another one on the 16th, which he assured me he would be going to whether I liked it or not. And this time, it doesn’t feel like a show. That thought never even crosses my mind. It feels like he wants to go because he wants to know exactly what I’m facing and he wants to be there for me when I hear it.

Randomly enough, we also had a dog for a couple of days. Around 2am Saturday, he pranced in to the garage where we were all partying and drinking. He was a huge black lab/Newfoundland Retriever and at first I mistook him for a bear. He was completely lovable and friendly though, and he stuck around until today. Sunday we had to go out and get him some food because we didn’t know where he was from. Today I called the pound and found his owners right away. The dog’s name was Rylie and he literally lived like 5 minutes up the road from us, he just loved the attention and food he was getting at our place and didn’t feel like going home yet. They picked him up today though, and we were all sad to see him go. He had a really wicked personality.

Sunday was a dab day really, Booth and I watched a movie with my parents and Kate. It was pretty good. Today I hung out with my friend who lives down the road and we exchanged books and music and watched a movie. It was pretty chill. I’m so exhausted thanks to my many late nights this weekend, and I completely forgot to call my granny to thank her for the tops she got me while shopping with Jo and my mom on Friday. Damn it. I’ll have to remember to do it tomorrow before I leave for Booth’s.

It’s his birthday tomorrow! He’s turning 22! What an old fart. I can’t wait to see his face when he sees the wicked present I got him! Although he does already know what I got him…thanks to my inability to keep anything from him. Sigh. I’ll have to work on that.

In a couple of weeks Booth and I are making a trip down to Karen’s and I’m completely stoked for it. Karen is going to teach me how to do graphic design and coding so I can make some money while I’m laid up at home recovering from surgery. Booth is probably going to be drooling over the Wii and x-Box with the boys. All in all, it’ll be good times. Perhaps we’ll even go out drinking with my NEWLY AGED SELF :) Yep, only 12 more days until my birthday folks!

I don’t think I’ll be having a birthday party at home though. I really want one, but the last two parties were enough for my parents. Although for the record, I totally wouldn’t let drama happen at my party. People can cab it home if they act up. I don’t care how expensive cab fair is out here, if someone isn’t following the rules they would be leaving.

Anyways, I’m coasting on content right now…which is good. I’ve started “reproduction” on a few story ideas. Hopefully I can keep up the stamina though.

And I should really catch up on blog reading…since I haven’t been good with that lately.

I also need to job hunt again. Sigh. We should place bets or something. Tune in next week to see if Sarcastica can find summertime employment this late in the season. :(

A Meme-meme-meme

May 24, 2008 I'm a STAR!, LOL, Sarcastica!, annoyances, blog whore, completely random crap, good times, rainbows and butterflies, ranting & raving, updates

So my lovely cousin Karen decided to tag me in this here meme, which I have [clearly] decided to do (for lack of anything else to do).

The rules:

1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
5. Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.
6. Let your tagger know when your entry is up.

Here are my lovely things;

Thing #1 - I’m normally pretty decent with my money and spending habits…however the second something happens to bring me down in any way at all, that money starts to burn a hole in my pocket.

Thing # 2 - I have an uncanny ability of being able to sense if there is Ketchup Chips around. No matter where I am, I can just sense them. I told Dragon to check the kitchen for Ketchup Chips because Jesus loves me when she went in to grab herself a drink, and low and behold there was Ketchup Chips. I guess I am loved.

Thing #3 - When I make a commitment to something, I make a commitment. For example, I told Booth I was going to clean out Dragon’s spare bedroom for him and get the stench of whatever it was that had died in there out, and I did just that.

Thing #4 - My “dream wedding” does not include the virgin white ball room type wedding gown and pink pew bows, no it does not. Definitely further from that. My dream wedding dress is a black gown with a corset and royal purple material tying it up. Yep, I want a “Gothic” wedding!

Thing #5 - I sleep perfectly if I’m cuddling something (or rather, someone). I can fall asleep in like less then 5 minutes. It’s awesome. :)

Thing #6 - I have a habit of starting novels and never finishing them, I get so caught up in the going ons of real life that I forget to finish them! But I haven’t deleted anything yet, maybe one day I’ll finish them!

So ya, I won’t be tagging anyone because I still feel like I’ve done this meme. Feel free to do it if you want though!

~*~*~

In non-meme related news, I am now back home. I heard back from the recreational group and they will not be hiring me. Anybody surprised because I definitely am not. I got an email from the new Program Director telling me that due to the fact that I have not been in school since December, I don’t qualify for funding and they can’t offer me a job there. However they hope that I will continue to volunteer.

Not this summer I won’t. I need to find a job that makes up the money I would have been making at the recreational group, and I need to work longer hours and not take lots of time off so I won’t be able to go camping or anything. Plus I’m still pretty annoyed with them. I need a break.

Speaking of breaks, I miss Booth. Actually, my missing him has nothing to do with a break because we are definitely not on one, haha. I love spending time with him and I’m pretty sure he loves spending time with me too, or at least thats the impression I get (and what he tells me all the time). I hung out with him for the past 4 days or so and it was awesome because we could both go off and do our own thing. We don’t have to be attached at the hip, but even if we are its fun!

So ya, I guess I got in that gushing about Booth that I hadn’t done in a while :) I can’t help it though, he makes me so unbelievably happy, and I sincerely doubt that will ever change. It’s literally his personality. Karen definitely knows what I’m talking about, right?!? RIGHT!?

Looky Looky, I’ve been playing blog hooky!

May 18, 2008 I'm a STAR!, LOL, Sarcastica!, adventures, annoyances, blog whore, changes, completely random crap, dumbass people, good times, updates

I have no idea if that’s how you actually spell hooky but just pretend I spelt it right if I didn’t, okay? No mentions on how I should spell check my posts…I’m trying to learn how to spell without help of spell check (which isn’t always right away).

So like the title of this post suggests, I’ve been playing hooky for a couple of days from my blog and dear readers. I really have just gotten busy and not really been around the computer, plus I’m also at Booth’s for the weekend. Needless to say there are tons of things to write about today (if I have time, Booth is in the shower for the moment but the second he gets out he’ll be hoovering over top and trying to see what I’m doing - which is why I don’t blog at his house…as boyfriends, as a rule, can’t read content unless I show them the posts they can read and then immediately clear the web history). I’m all secretive like that yo!

So ya, first on the agenda (to blog about that is) is the super awesome new design that my super amazing cousin Karen did (like 2 days ago) that I love love love! I do like it better then the other design, although I loved that one too. Purple is my all time favourite colour, so whoot!

Next on the agenda is I spoke to the old Program Director of the rec group, you know…the one that suddenly quit and all that. He’s one of my good friends and stuff, so I was confused as to all the sudden changes. Anyway, I found out that because we are friends and the board of directors or whatever butted heads with him so much, they aren’t planning on hiring me. They told him (when he was still working there) that I can’t follow direction and didn’t work as hard as the other students. This really pisses me off because I followed direction better then anyone else working there, and I worked just as hard - if not harder. Yes, I know I couldn’t do camp set ups because I wasn’t physically able, but I did a hell of a lot more work in the office then any of the other summer students.

So the past few days I’ve been busy job hunting. I blew the interview at Blockbusters hard core so I definitely won’t be working there. While the story is funny, it’s kind of frustrating [to me] but I’ll share it anyway. So it was a group interview that I went to with my sister Kate. There were 3 other people being interviewed at the same time as us, and my friend who happens to work there was sitting in on the interview. So I was insanely nervous. I’ve never had to “audition” for a job before. Ever. I screwed up majorly on two of the interview questions, which where: Tell us a story you have of working with a difficult costumer? and Quote a line from a movie.

I just so happened to spill the beans on the one horrible costumer I had a few times during my era as a Timmies Hoe. He was an elderly man who I had two run ins with. The first one was when I was in the little Timmies in the gas station, he came in and demanded I put milk in his coffee - right after the cream exploded all over the ground (which I was trying to clean up) and after I had already explained to him that I ran out of milk. He couldn’t understand why I couldn’t just go over to the other Tims and get some milk for him, and since I was the only Tim Hortons employee in the kiosk, I couldn’t leave. I tried to explain to him why I couldn’t leave but he was such an asshat that I told him to go inside if he really wanted milk. This pissed him off and he left in a huff. Then about a month later, I saw him inside. I had just taken over the till for someone to go on their break, and his line up was huge because he was absolutely slow. So I decided to speed things along and cut a couple unneccesary words from the greeting - in a non-rude way. He got pissed because I didn’t say please when I told him the total. Don’t forget I was like 15 and it was my first job, and I had never heard of this “$7.90 please” stuff before. I never had said it before and nobody had ever gotten upset with me before. He flipped though, and said that he was going to teach me some manors because all “fast food employees” didn’t have them. I got angry with him and told him that if he didn’t like the service, don’t come back. He didn’t…as far as I know. Anyways ya, that was the story I told them. Clearly not the best one, since Blockbusters follows the costumer is always right policy.

Oh but it gets worse, far worse.

Guess what movie quote I came up with? Out of all the movies in the world, I just had to pick this line. I honestly couldn’t think of anything else, my mind was blank. And before I said it I asked if we had to keep it PG or if swearing was ok (since its a quote). They said we were all old enough to be cool with swearing and allowed it. So I said, with my face red because I hate swearing near authority figures…

Get these mother f**king snakes off my mother f**king plane.

Yep, you should have seen everyone’s jaw hit the floor. They all laughed afterwards mind you, but…still. Talk about a disaster. Now that I never want to enter another Blockbusters again…

So ya. I’m jobless at the moment, and still hunting.

Woop Woop

May 8, 2008 I'm a STAR!, LOL, Sarcastica!, blog whore, completely random crap, good times, linkage, opinions, pictures, rainbows and butterflies, updates

No more in class lessons for me! I passed all of my tests (so 2) and now all I’ve got to do is 13 hours in car and then I’m free to take my G2 test! According to the Defensive Driving Test, I’m [in theory] an experienced driver! Woop woop! Now all I’ve got to do is actually get behind the wheel…and drive…

I have driven a few times, but I literally want to drive everywhere I want to go, just to gain more experience. I still have my in car lessons, this is true, but according to statistics the more experience behind the wheel that you get, the more likely you are to pass your G2 test on the first try (thanks Captain Obvious) so ya, I want to pass right away!

Anywho, so I had my days completely wrong, that or I had yet another miscommunication with NSN - or perhaps it was both. I’m not surprised at all that we had a miscommunication, our entire relationship was a giant miscommunication. But anyways, I expected him to come down for eleven today and he totally didn’t. I called him around that time demanding to know if he was coming and where he was…and he pointed out that he was coming down at eleven A.M Friday. Haha. Opps. Oh well, this just means that I get to be in Booth’s area early tomorrow too :)

Speaking of Booth, he’s completely changed his tattoo idea from the girl in my header to this one here. Apparently, she looks more like me (since she has a rose on the same side and the lip ring on the same side). He is supposed to be starting it tonight, or tomorrow, and I already can’t wait to see what the finished product looks like. And I totally found a wicked one for me (eventually); wicked huh? The Celtic Ankh, which will represent my [somewhat] heritage at the same time as representing the Egyptian symbol for Eternal Life…even when you pass, you are still remembered in someone’s heart and thoughts :)

But yes, that’s all the rambling for today folks. I have a massive headache so I’m going to stay up late reading blogs and poking people on Facebook go to sleep. Or something.
