Well, I started the new job at TGI Fridays at the airport on Friday. It's a lot better than my last few jobs. I'm a hostess, so we pretty much enjoy ourselves talking up at the front unless we're seating people, which isn't always the case. Everyone seems pretty nice and we already get along well so I'm happy about that. But I'm not really in the mood to talk about work, so I'll continue.
I debated this morning whether I would go to my sociology class or not. It drags on for hours even though it's only an hour and 20 minutes long. Today was actually not as bad though since me and Chrissy pretty much talked the whole time and read each other's creative writing stories. She also brought us raspberry mocha fraps which was awesome of her. I'll have to bring something for us sometime too. So all through soc we were getting excited to talk about our other classmates' stories in creative writing, then we leave soc and find a class canceled sign next to the door. It really sucked. Of all classes to be canceled I really wish it hadn't been creative writing, but then again it did give me more time to come home and waste time before I actually start studying for my bio exam, which is indeed tonight. Problem is I really don't feel the need to study because half the stuff is like "what does mitochondria do?" and "what is a chromosome?" Seriously, I know that crap. There's just little things I don't know, but that makes it even harder to study since I feel like I know it all already from previous classes. Oh well, I'll study sometime hopefully.
And now, my favorite part of today's entry, I'm pumped as hell to go see Puddle of Mudd with Andy on Friday in Columbus. We're gonna drive out and stay in a cheap motel and then come back. Problem is that feels like so far away. Ah oh well...it'll come soon enough. It's all general admission so maybe I'll have some awesome shots of Wes Scantlin belting out his wonderful songs. Well alright, I'm off to waste more time before I study. And I know I changed my layout, the other was boringly black even though I liked the picture.
I'll tell you what frustrates me more than anything. I get this great idea, and I'm so prepared to start writing it. I have it all. I open a word document and there's that blank white sheet and that little blinking black line. I just freeze. It happened just a moment ago. I'm sitting here with my hands on the keyboard, watching that black line blink endlessly back at me. What's it's deal anyway? Can't it just stop mocking me? I hate looking at that white screen. I suddenly have no idea how to start something, and soon enough I don't even remember what I was going to write about in the first place. Just general pieces of it. I wish I could write as fast as I type, I would write my stories over typing them any day. At least then I have the actual papers in my hands, and stories hundreds of pages long can't get wiped out because of a hard drive crash! Yeah, that's probably the biggest tragedy in my life so far. The fact that years and years of stories and hard work will probably never exist again. Things that I really poured my soul into, spending so much time just...writing. But I've long since accepted the loss of everything, I'm already frustrated enough not to have to get into it again.
On another note, I'm really craving a bubble bath and my bathtub is nowhere close to being bubble bath-worthy. It's tiny and I can't even stretch out in it. I'm not sure why I had to mention that, I guess to just get my mind off things.
Comments aren't better than bubble baths, but leave one anyway.
I'm not entirely sure what to write. It's late, I have to get up early to get badged at the airport, and I should be in bed.But no I've been all over the internet looking at things I desperately want but probably will never have. I'm in the negatives right now as far as money goes, but that's probably because I'm between jobs. It really sucks, and I feelreaaallyy insignificant. I have a couple pictures today, mostly because I just uploaded a batch from my camera and these two are my favorites.
This is my baby kitty. I call him Baby even though that's not his name. I love him to death. He runs around crazily andhas huge eyes and is probably the most adorable snuggle baby pancake love in the world. I know, I need help, but this picture is so damn cute.
Moving on, I have this thing with taking pictures of cool things in the sky. Particularly, and I know this surprises anyone who knows I live in Pennsylvania, cool sunsets. You wouldn't believe how nice the sunsets can be here. It amazes me, really. I have quite a few that I've gathered over the years, but this one may be my favorite. I took it after me, Andy, his brother, and his brother's girlfriend went to the new Pittsburgh Mills Mall to see the new Penguins jerseys unveiled. When we left the place there was this spectacular sunset. I don't even know if it qualifies as a sunset...it looks more like something to do with heaven.
It's harder to see when the picture's so small, but there's these fat beams of light coming out from that cloud that sitting above the sun. I've never seen the rays actually fan out like that. Especially going upwards and not downwards.
So yeah, that's pretty much all I have today. I'm tired as heck and I have been since school started, which is just crazy and I don't get it. I have tons to do for classes though, including a creative writing assignment that I need major inspiration for. Well anyway, until next time as usual.
Comments are better than homework.
edit: You know what I just realized when I was looking at this picture after I dried my hair? See those clouds on the right side that are bunched together? Don't they look like dolphins jumping? The bottom one has the shape and the dorsal fin and everything, and the one above it is at an angle and it looks just like it. Maybe I'm crazy...or extremely tired. Anyone else see that? Lol xD
Somehow I knew today was too good to be true. It was all in the fact that once I got out of my drawing class I'd be free to come home and do some quality relaxing. But no, some crazy chick decided at the very last second to not go through the yellow light on the way out of the campus. At this point I was well prepared for her to have kept going so that I'd be the first in line at the light. But apparently that wasn't meant to be, as suddenly the chick just plain stopped, and I freakin plowed into her. WELL. Here I am ready to throw my recently acquired biology study guide out my windshield when I actually take a good look at her bumper. There wasn't anything there at all. Maybe two tiny scratches. Most of the jolt I must've felt must've merely been from me slamming my brakes so hard. So she gets out of the car, and naturally out of all the cars I had to hit it had to be the car of one of those chicks who just plain doesn't understand that anything could be her fault. She looks close to flipping out but instead looks at my front bumper and tells me I fucked my car up more than hers. So I look at it, and all I see there is a few scratches that were already there before this happened. Here I am thinking I'm about to get off easy, cuz there's no dents and barely any scratches on either car, when she's like ok I need your insurance information because if that needs fixed, you know, I gotta do it. I'm like dumbfounded. Fix...what, exactly? If she even screws up my insurance for two miniscule scratches I'll seriously lose whatever's left of my faith in the fact that I don't have all bad luck. Because I'm feelin pretty cursed right now. Not sure what cursed me, but I'll figure that out later. Honestly, I really don't believe in screwing people's insurance up over crap like that. Not to mention I was very apologetic. I was so ready to scream at her not to make sudden stops and make up her damn mind. I wasn't a problem at all. And I swear to god, if I get a call, I'm gonna whack something.
Anyway, tomorrow's my airport job fair thingy. I'm ready to smell that airport smell again. Such a great smell. It smells like travel in there. I wonder if after awhile you get flight discounts. I don't even wanna think about what would happen if that was true. That reminds me, I have to get the mail. By the way incase no one noticed, I personalized my layout. It's very black I know, but you still can't mess with the actual colors on vox yet. None of the other colors matched anything in my banner image..so black it is. Until next time.
Comments aren't a city in China.
Yes, here I am again embarking on yet another short length of blogging time. Well, hopefully not short. I was writing over in my deadjournal for awhile but, the blandness of the layout sort of spurred me into coming back. With a fancy new autumn layout too. So, I suppose I'll give the usual update on what's been going on since the last post.
I actually quit that job. Amazing, I know. Years and years of busting my butt for those crazy Italians had me ready to snap in two so I left. Not that I don't love them all to death (well, most of them) but I had to draw a line. Right after that I went on vacation with Andy for a week to camp in North Carolina. We traveled to a few places within the state to go gem hunting, because for some reason we both enjoy things like that. Found a lot of great things: sapphire, garnet, emerald, ruby, amethyst, aventurine, smoky citrine (my favorite of my batch), smoky quartz (I always say it looks like a coca-cola ice cube lol), and lots of prism-like quartz crystals. Plus a ton of other things, but those are most noteworthy. We got muddy as hell every day, ran around in the creek digging under rocks for gems, and had such a blast I still to this day can't believe it was that fun. Of course the one drawback HAD to be the campground's showers...I was staring at 600 spiders everytime I showered...reminds me of home. Damn pervish spiders. That top one is where we lived for a week...lol. It was great because it poured every night but never during the day. Well almost every night. The middle picture is me and Andy with our surprise bucket that we were about to sluice, out of which came the two pendants that we had cut. And at the bottom is me...cuddling the hot dogs we bought. That's all we ate all week...hot dogs on the george forman grill with no buns. Talk about a low budget vacation. The last day we cracked and ate at Arby's tho, not to mention a fabulous pancake meal at IHOP during the drive down xD
Moving on, we came back and I started my new job at Target. I worked at 4 AM, and it sucked. I worked there for about a month before, just recently, I decided it wasn't for me. So I'm currently unemployed and semi-enjoying the free time. Besides the fact that I have classes now...the first day was on my 20th birthday. Go figure, since I had class all day, then a 5 hour biology lecture/lab at night. At least we got out of bio a little early and I got to eat some cake with Andy though, or it would've been extra crappy. Currently I'm going to be attempting to get a job at the airport. It's the kind of environment that I thrive on. Incase I never mentioned this, I'm obsessed with travel. Not like a normal person would be obsessed with travel, I really have a problem. I get urges, and...well nevermind that for now. If I got into my travel issues in this post you people would be here for years. So continuing, I'm attempting to go to the airport. Work around the people who get to do what I can only dream of doing. Hear about where they go and what they do. I'm excited, really. There's a job fair at the airmall Tuesday morning, I even get to miss my morning classes to go to it. Too bad I'm missing creative writing, the only class I never want to miss. I suppose that's about all that's been going on. I should be updating more frequently, at least I hope so. I'm busy, but I can always find time to sit on my butt in front of the computer and do nothing xD
