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
I really need to go somewhere. This working 7 days a week REALLY isn't cutting it. Now I know the last thing you want to read is some crazy chick complaining...but just give me a little paragraph, ok? I actually, I'm not kidding, can NOT feel my feet that's how bad it is. I'm going on 14 days without a day off. Are you SERIOUS? Come on now, hire some more damn people because you can NOT do this to your employees. And of course it's mother's day weekend, everyone's coming out to the restaurant, and tomorrow's the icing on the cake. I work from 11 am to like 9 pm and I'm probably going to kill myself OR somebody else by the end of the night. If I even wake up, because I'm so dead tired that I may just pass out and never awaken.
Ok, I'm done. In other news, I obviously have no life, I mean not that I ever really did. All my friends are people I work with. Well, mostly. I mean I love them and all...but I'm goin crazy. And I don't even have time to go to the gym like I planned, although my legs would ache so much that I probably wouldn't stay long anyway. Alright I know I said I was done complaining, so I'm done. I swear this time.
I need to go somewhere though. See some sights, go somewhere peaceful and relax and enjoy myself. People I know who are my age and don't have to work, I cannot believe how lucky they don't even realize they are. I mean, maybe it's good that I'm working and getting experience and crap but come ON. I wanna enjoy the last years that I can do whatever and run around like crazy. I don't even have the drive to do anything anymore. It's really not fair, but I'm bitching again and obviously I can't stop myself, so I'm gonna go do whatever. Gah.
Guess what? I have ramblings. Surprising, I know. It's great that I procrastinate on everything so much, otherwise I'd never update. I have a 6 page paper due tomorrow which I'm only about slightly halfway done with. And I can't do that at the moment because I'm watching the penguins game. They're tied, and that's better than what it COULD be. End of the second period. But I doubt you wanna hear me ramble about hockey. So here's a survey with some spiffy questions.
You're going to the moon! What did you forget to pack?
Knowing me, I'd probably forget the entire space suit
You can whistle and steam can whistle, so why do you sing in the shower?
I sound better in the shower lol
When you open your eyes underwater, do you ever worry that you'll drown?
No but I'd rather not do that
When you hesitate before hitting snooze on your alarm clock, are you being lazy?
Everything I do has an air of laziness about it, so yes
You're wearing a sweater that stretches down to your feet. What color belt do you put on?
Well you didn't specify the color. So either black or white.
You have to dig a hole to China. Where do you start?
My workplace. I've always wanted to bust a huge hole in the floor of that place.
The squish of mud between your toes; how would you live your life as a frog?
I'd probably be the most fabulous frog in the pond
You've just inherited a manufacturing plant that specializes in plastics. What are you going to make?
I have no idea. Tupperware? Lmao
You've rented a sky-writer to propose to your significant other, but it's completely overcast. What will you do?
Call off the whole thing. That is definitely a bad omen.
Your hand has been replaced by a rubber stamp. What does it say?

In the dream where you show up to school naked, why do you never go swimming?
Haha, nakedness is fun
For your birthday, your aunt gave you a maple syrup dispenser shaped like a rooster. Please write her a thank-you note:
Dear aunty,
Thank you very much for the syrupy cock, I will constantly drink in its fabulous taste.
Love,
Ashley
Which is more important to you and why: flexibility or expandability?
Well both to a point, but that point I don't feel like explaining at the moment

Throw in some rum. It'll be fine.

You're trapped in a well with a goat and a slinky. Describe how you will escape.
Eat the goat, which will sustain me until someone finds me, while I make slinky climb down some rocks

The hair from your last haircut ... what would it say about your new style?
"It's been awhile hun, I think you should go back again"
Well here I am, 1:46 AM and needing VERY much to go to bed so I can get up and hand my research paper in, but quite unable to sleep. Not like it entirely matters though, after I hand my paper in I'm coming straight back home and sleeping til work later. Not like I have anything to miss in my business class anyway, all I do is play bejeweled on my phone...
Anyway, that's pretty much how I feel on the left there. See, it's a smiley cookie from eat n' park (I'm not sure if anyone knows eat n' park except around where I'm from, it's a cheap family restaurant that's a very typical hangout for young people at 2 AM cuz it's open 24 hours)...which is frowning...because it's raining. And maybe because it's just depressed with life in general and doesn't understand anything anymore. Intriguing for sure.
Sorry I can't be more amusing tonight. I really thought I'd be ecstatic after I finally finished that dreaded research paper...but it turns out I probably feel even worse. I wish I wasn't such an idiot and so selfish.
Although the good news is I still have an interesting site for you. International Space Station tracking. It shows you the exact position of the space station in the world, shows you its orbit and everything in real time. It may not be amusing, but it's interesting, and that's the best I can do in my present state of mind. Well, I'm off to lay in bed and stare at the ceiling probably. Fall asleep eventually I hope.
Yes, I just so happen to be the laziest person alive. And I'm just generally not having a good time with myself, but I'll get to that later. I have a presentation due in 4 days that I only have 3 slides for, and two research papers due in two weeks. I haven't started either of those. I'm gonna do awful someday...I'll never succeed lol and the sad part is that I know that. I may as long as I can set my own deadlines or something. But I mean, the stuff I need to do gets done in time, but I procrastinate WAY too much, stress myself out like crazy along the way, and all of that's my fault. I could EASILY do things earlier, I just really don't want to. Somehow I'm happier putting it off and stressing myself out. Like, right now, I'm so stressed I can't even think. I backed into my garage door the other day because I have so much shit on my mind, and the darn people are coming at 8 AM to wake me up and replace it. Darn them.
I'm just getting sick of stuff. Sick of this place maybe. Sick of school, work, winter, cold, driving on route 60, almost everything lol. I just like the people, but even sometimes you need to get out of town and go somewhere where nobody knows you. Or maybe just one person knows you, or something like that. I just need to go somewhere. But I barely make enough money to do things I enjoy with it let alone pay bills. Seriously, screw bills. And I can't WAIT to get out of that damn restaurant and get a nice little office job where I get $9 per hour to sit there and use a computer. My god, that'll be just fabulous. I told you I was lazy. I already sit on my ass at the computer at any chance I get, why not at my job too? But I guess I'm off to bed so I can daydream about the traveling I wanna do til I fall asleep...
When I keep a blog I usually like to post some that I have found over my constant web surfing, as I have been on a computer since my mother taught me the alphabet on a keyboard (I swear this happened). Needless to say, I have collected a number of pictures and websites that just tickle me as funny. So here, of course, is edition #1.
The fan and vacuum picture is pretty old in my collection. I have no idea where it came from or when I found it, as it was most likely back when I didn't bother to remember such things. But honestly...I don't care what kind of sense of humor you have...the picture just KILLS me. And so I give you the picture on the right ^_^
Now, I believe a website is in order as well. Unfortunately my site collection has diminished greatly over the years due to various computer issues, all of which pissed me off to no end but luckily I remembered where I found most of the good ones. Since we're on the subject of amusing pictures, I give you, in my opinion, the greatest site of amusing cat pictures I've ever seen in my life: Guarantee you'll be sending them to your friends, or your money back. (I'm just kidding, of course. There's no money involved. Calm down, people.)
Well, as far as my life goes at the moment, I'm on spring break. Could I be any happier about that? Absolutely not. The idea that I've been here, sitting on my ass, doing nothing at all, is most welcome. However, realizing that I need to make a presentation plus write two research papers fairly soon is certainly not welcome at all. But basically, in my usual fashion, I'll put it off to the very last minute, bitch about how stressed out I am even though it will be my fault, and then be immensely relieved when it's all done. And I'm sure when that happens, I'll celebrate with my friends Ben and Jerry. (and for those of you who don't get the joke, that's a brand of ice cream.) But anywho, until next time.
Well I'm here on another blog-ish website. I'm rather fond of this one though. I also happen to be on the verge of purchasing another domain, so that should be appearing somewhat soon.
In other news, Sidney Crosby got his 200th point last night. He did it in under two seasons...and faster than Wayne back in the day. Hmm...do I hear "The Greater One?" I think so. Even though the Pens lost, which wasn't so great, but as long as they stay where they are or go up in the playoff standings...
I know I'm kind of jumping all over the place, but that's only because I have to go to work in about three hours, and anybody who knows anything about how much I hate my job will know that my brain is scrambled at the moment as my hatred for that place grows. It's a little family owned Italian restaurant. Sounds fine enough right? Well I've been there for three years, they're doing all these new rules that are RIDICULOUS, and those people are just insane. But I don't feel like talking about it much, I'll be there living my nightmares soon enough.
I suppose that's all for now. I just remembered that I need to get my car inspected...don't even ask me why I just thought of it now. But spring break for college is all next week, and for some reason work didn't schedule me til Friday and Saturday. But anyway, I guess I'll add more stuff when I figure some other things out.
What are your three favorite snacks?
