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
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
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.
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.
