Things I learned from work

1. It is not impossible to be somewhere by 7 am. I know that sounds crazy early, but believe it or not; people are actually awake and working at this time.

2. You always make mistakes. Even if you do everything right.

3. Six years of Spanish class gets you NOWHERE.

4. The more money you make- the more money you spend.

That's all I've got so far.

I went ahead and bought a princess costume today. Not the one I mentioned before, but a still relatively high priced one. That probably wasn't the best decision since I also did not go to work today. That's ok, though because princesses don't work.

I also bought boots and a handful of other essentials (gloves, deodorant, sweedish fish). Again probably not a good decision because I took off work for tomorrow and told everyone I wasn't coming in on Friday, but buying all that stuff still felt good. It helped me break free from the suck fest my life has become.

I see the word shopaholic in my future. I'll take that over other problems that could arise from dealing with too much stress. At least I'll have a lot of nice stuff.

Fish are friends, not food

Some of you know that I have wanted to become a vegetarian for a while now. I had cut back on my meat intake, but it wasn't practical to stop all together since I still live with my parents and don't pay for my own food.

Well, today we happened to watch a video in my philosophy (we were talking about persons vs objects) called "Meet your Meat." It's a video from PETA, but don't let that put you off. As my philosophy teacher pointed out, not listening their argument just because you don't like them is a logical fallacy (which we just took a test on).

After watching this video, I realized that I could not put off vegetarianism just because it wasn't "practical". It's horrible how some (most) animals are treated before they get killed for food. Please watch this video (because I'm sure none of you did when I posted the link on facebook). It's okay to look away at some parts- I did.

Idiot

A lot of my friends are in town from their colleges and decided to get together tonight to go to Laser Quest. My friend, KW, mentioned it a while ago and invited me because previously I had not heard.

If you are unfamiliar with my story, I've had a lot of problems all throughout high school with friends not inviting me to things. And part of it is my fault because I'm shy and all the bad things that go along with that. But it hurts when all of your "friends" are hanging out and you're not.

So tonight I was upset when I saw that KW said on Facebook that she was going to LQ, and once again no one told me about it. I even complained to one bff who has always tried to stick up for me, who in turn, texted another friend and complained to him about it.

Well, a few minutes ago I realized I needed to charge my phone and I see that I have a text. It's from KW. From hours ago. Asking if I need a ride to LQ. FML

Sorry, everyone! I love you all!

Jamie Sullivan, Princess Adelina, Princess Remy?

I like to live in a fantasy land and in my head I base things in my life on characters in books, tv shows, and movies I like. For example, I have a list of goals in my head that are vague and difficult to accomplish just like Jamie in A Walk to Remember. One of my goals is to be a princess. Seriously. I was reminded of this as I was online costume shopping for Halloween. And now that I have jobs, I feel like I could spend the money to buy a costume. Especially one so important that it will help me accomplish one of my life goals (a very important one). So as I was looking for princess costumes I had in mind the book cover to my favorite princess story, The Two Princesses of Bamarre. And I found a dress that was close enough to what I wanted. Now the only question is if I should spend the $60 on it. What do you think? Keep in mind I'm working on Halloween and have no plans for it. But I really want this dress.

She's in a dress!

Today was a long school day. I was at in class (or would have been if it wasn't canceled) from 8-1:30. Then, I had an hour and a half, like everyday to eat lunch and chill out before work. Then I went to work as a student aide. And not like everyday, I only had to work for an hour. Which was good, but it was raining a little and I had like a thousand deliveries to make all over campus (ok, five, but that's more than usual). But, whatever, it wasn't raining too hard.

Jynx.

Then, I had to go to my sister's cross country meet. I think you know where this is going. I think my umbrella worked harder than I did all day. My sister's arms were numb from the rain being so cold.

Right after that was royal rally, which I wasn't going to go to because of Grey's Anatomy (and it is usually boring), but my sister was nominated for junior court.

Last night was hectic, trying to get her ready for this thing. She didn't have a dress or shoes and she was going straight from a meet to band to having to be in a dress for this thing. I put a lot of effort into it and I wanted to see her. She didn't win, though. Hell, they didn't even say her name. Stupid MCs.

Yeah. That's all I got. I'm tired. I can't wait for the homecoming game tomorrow. Sorry if my posts have been boring. I gotsta work on me writing skillz, I guess.

My week simplified

Just because I know you all really care about what goes on in my every-day life.

Sunday: first day working by myself=not fun, cousin's 5 year old birthday party=fun (princess castle cake)

Tuesday: English class canceled=fun, fire alarm going off twice in one class=amusing, but cold

Wednesday: no classes, slept in til 11:45= very fun

Thursday: English class still canceled= fun, trying to do math homework when I would have been in English= not fun, giving up on math homework and taking a nap= priceless
