S.A.D.
I hate the winter.
I feel like i am going crazy and theres nothing i can do to stop it. I'm drowning.
... i thought it would be so easy to write my feelings. its weird hearing a voice, inner monolouge, in my head again, or at all for that matter. I havent had clear thoughts for days because i didnt need them. because i have nothing to do i have no reason to shower, no reason to brush my teeth, or change out of my pajamas, or shave my legs. I have lost my will to do anything, except maybe cry. I seem to do that just fine.
Its depressing listening to myself write this as if anyone will read and understand it. Imagining it as a Diane Keaton movie or something. Imagining all this being read by an actress far more well spoken, and far more beautiful than i could hope to be. yes, this tragedy that is my life will now by my screen play and then i wont be depressed anymore. i will magically have all this money from writing this fantastic screenplay and i wont have Seasonal Affective Disorder because i'll never have to be here during winter.
I wont feel doomed or useless, or miserable, because at the end of my screenplay Diane keaton learns to love herslf and learns to make herself happy, somehow. it would be terrible if she lived her whole life with this crippling chemical embalance and was never truelyhappy the rest of her life, right?
its never been this bad. I've neveer felt so low.
Any chance of hope i reason away with brutal cynicism. I keep distancing myself from people who love me, mostly because i know they dont want my personal baggage, and partly because i'm no sure what all that baggage entails. i dotn know whats wrong, i dont know why i cant snap out of it, i dont know why i miss everyone but i never call and see how they're doing. i dont know why i complaine about doing nothing but never go out when someone asks me on short notice.
what if they are just better off without me, but then i cant help but feel left out when i see facebook pictures.
I wan to sing again. I want to make people happy with my voice. is that pretentious? mostly i just want the praise... pathetic. My mind is a mess. i dont think i've had one cohearant thought, rambling about Diane keaton and drowning... and yet they are somehow related. hm.
p.s. i know i spelled things wrong. i just dont care.

just a quick update
So for those of you who dont know, i'm in Indiana.
i really dig it so far! If i wasnt so in love with Minneapolis i probably wouldnt mind moving to Indianapolis, its a nice city, like minneapolis only not as quwirky (i have no idea how to spell that...) .
So far i've been super busy, but its a good busy. I've decided i really like opening restaurants and training people. i like typing up 'get to know you games' and rolling with the punches. i dont really know how to describe all the stuff i've been doing, but i really am enjoying it :D and it makes me happy that i'm taking pride in the things that i'm doing...
anyway! i'll try and update later! bye!

I won't give up on you, you know thats what i'm sayin'
So i've decided to be a Freudian Slip because its quick and easy, but still clever. and i rarely have the opportunity to be clever. I'd be Cher, but i would over think it and probably spend way too much money trying to achieve 'the cher-ness'
In other news, my job is sending me to Indiana for 2 weeks to train another restaurant! more money,free plane tickets, free food, free hotel... but 10 hour days 6 days a week. I'm sure it will get old, but its too much money to pass up. and it would be awesome to put on a resume 'Corporate Trainer.'
Although i wont be able to traditionally vote, which i'm kind of bummed about. since i'm already registered i just walk into an office and fill out the ballot. i dont get to go into a booth or anything- which is what i was kinda geeking out about. Sounds fun to me haha.
I also get to go to Arizona/ Las Vegas the week after christmas to visit my parents! so hey, californians, we should TOTALLY meet in Vegas! that would truely be badass because i miss everyone like crazy.
You know what my comfort foods are? I figured them out i think, the Misquette Chicken from Quiznos, and Corned beef. odd, but i immediately feel at ease when i eat these 2 foods.... wow that sounds so pathetic. what are your comfort foods? ...please answer so i dont feel like such a fatty.
I've also renewed my love for the movie Dan in Real Life.... it really is that good. i know some disagree with me, but i just... *sigh* it makes me so happy :)
this post is all over the place. why not end it with a cute video of micro teacup chihuahua's!?

Halloween Costume Ideas.
So this is like, my first costume party that i havent thrown myself. i want to dress to impress so i need some creative ideas. i've snooped around and here are my options, thus far (Votes and Opinions are greatly needed):
1. Sarah Palin
2. Eggs over easy (i'd make something that looks like eggs and put it on my head and then dress really slutty- eggs over easy...get it?)
3. Smartie Pants (bag of smarties on jeans)
4. IPod commercial
5.A Cereal Killer
Directions: This one is easy and clever for grown-ups or older kids. Wear white sweatshirt and black pants. Go to the grocery store and buy the 8-pack of miniature cereal boxes. There are several ways to make this one happen (Krazy Glue, rolled clear packing tape), but basically you are going to affix these cereal boxes to your sweatshirt and pants (not while you're wearing them). Use a knife to 'viciously' cut open the boxes- glue some of the pieces of Fruit Loops, etc so it looks like they are spilling out of the box. You can get creative with fake blood or food coloring 'dripping' around your outfit. You should affix a knife to your shirt too. Bam. You're a cereal killer! Clever, cheap creative Halloween costume for sure!
6.Easy Halloween Costume: Freudian Slip
Directions:Get a one-piece white slip and write FREUD on it with a thick black marker. Now what could be an easier Halloween costume than that?!
7.Kat Von D.
Directions: this one could be kinda fun, i'd just draw tattoos all over my body and face and wear a lot of make up
8. Homeless person (will work/dance for candy?)
9. Raisin
Directions:black trash yard bag
10. Melted Snow Man
Directions: Drench yourself in water and carry around two sticks, a scarf and a carrot.
11. 5. Chia Pet
Directions: Wrap yourself in duct tape so the sticky part is facing out, then roll around on the lawn.
12. Used Car Salesman
Directions: Wear a bright plaid polyester suit and slicked-back hair. Hand out business cards and tell everyone you can get them a "great deal!".
13. Ceiling Fan
Directions: Write "Go Ceilings!" on the front of your shirt. Add other gear if you want (pom poms, big foam finger, etc.) And don't forget to cheer!
14.Leaf Blower:
Directions: Wear a baseball cap with a leaf dangling down in front of your face. When someone asks what you are, blow on the leaf!

If I won the Lottery.
So i thought this would be kinda fun* to figure out. If after taxes i ended up winning 100 million dollars, what would i spend it on? Well let me break it down!
*fun/torment?
1. First i would buy the 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid. I love my camry, i really, really do. But lets face it, its 14 years old and will probably die soon (my poor Raquel baby!). so i'd need new wheels, and this car not only is beautiful, but its practicle. if my 1994 camry has lasted me this long, i'm sure the 2009 would go even longer. so there goes my first $19,145.
2. I would pay off all my student loans: $35,000
3. I would pay off all my personal debt: $1,000
4. Pay off all my families debt: $40,000 (thats just a guesstimate but i thought i'd rather be over than under)
5. Pay off all my sisters student loans: $100,000
6. Buy a really nice apartment/condo in Minneapolis (preferably near Lake Calhoun): I'm not really sure how much this would cost... i'lll just say... $15,000?
+8,000 for all the stuff to put into the new apartment
7. Buy my parents a nice house in Scottsdale AND in Minnesota so they can be Snow Birds: $1.5 Million
8. Travel the world. Now i'm not limiting this to a certain amount of time, over the years i'd want to travel all over AND i want to pay for my friends to come with so: $2,000,000
9. Fund my sisters missionary work so she can focus on where God wants her to go, and never have to worry about the 'how': $3,000,000
10. Set up a scholarship fund for anyone who has the heart to go to the Stieger International Disciplship Training School in New Zealand: $25 Million
11. Buy a boat... what can i say, i've always wanted a boat heh..: $600,000
12. Buy 2 dogs a Puggle (a cross between a pug and a beagle), and a Shiba Inu: $800
13.Buy New clothes (i am a girl after all): $4,000
14. Buy all the movies i've ever wanted: $2,500
15. Invest in the de-salination of water, and wind energy: $1,000,000
16. Buy the Salvage Yard a church of their own: $1,000,000
17. Buy a really nice computer: $3,000
18. Buy enough books to make my own little library: $2,000
19. Make a CD, why not!: $7,000
20. Sit front row at a Broadway Show with all of my friends: $1,000
21. Employ a personal chef (ideally Ina Garten aka Barefoot Contessa) and maid for the rest of my life: $2,000,000
20,000
+35,000
+1,000
+40,000
+100,000
+15,000
+8,000
+1,500,000
+2,000,000
+3,000,000
+25,000,000
+600,000
+800
+4,000
+2,500
+1,000,000
+1,000,000
+3,000
+2,000
+7,000
+1,000
+2,000,000
-------------
=$36,339,300
So that leaves me $63,660,700 left to leave in a bank and let it acrue interest to leave to my children someday. Any suggestions?

I <3 Mitch Hedberg
I got a “Do-Not-Disturb” sign on my hotel door. It says “Do Not Disturb”; it’s time we go with “Don’t Disturb”. It’s been “Do Not” for too long. We need to embrace the contraction. “Don’t disturb”; “Do Not” psyches you out. “Do”: “Alright, I get to disturb this guy”. “Not”: “Shit! I need to read faster!”
I saw this wino, he was eating grapes. I was like, “Dude, you have to wait.”
I bought a house, it’s a two-bedroom house. But I think it’s up to me how many bedrooms there are, don’t you? Fuck you, real estate lady, this bedroom has an oven in it. This bedroom has a lot of people sitting around watching TV. This bedroom is over in that guy’s house. “Sir, you’ve got one of my bedrooms, are you aware? Don’t decorate it!”
I don’t have a microwave, but I do have a clock that occasionally cooks shit
Every McDonald’s commercial ends the same way, right? Every McDonald’s commercials end like this: “Prices and participation may vary.” Now I wanna open a McDonald’s and not participate in anything. I wanna be a stubborn McDonald’s owner. I’ll say,”Cheeseburgers? Nope. We got spaghetti! And blankets.”
I got an oscillating fan at my house, the fan goes back and forth; it looks like it’s saying “no.” So I like[, ask] it questions that a fan would say “no” to. “Do you keep my hair in place? Do you keep my documents in order? Do you have three settings? Liar! My fan fucking lied to me. Now I will pull the [plug out]. Now you ain’t saying shit.”
You know, I’m sick of following my dreams, man. I’m just going to ask where they’re going and hook up with ‘em later.
I had a neighbor, and whenever he would knock on my wall I knew he wanted me to turn my music down, and that made me angry because I like loud music, so when he knocked on the wall I’d mess with his head. I’d say: “Go around! I cannot open the wall. I don’t know if you have a doorknob on the other side, but over here there’s nothing. It’s just flat.”
I wanted to buy a candleholder, but the store didn’t have one. So I got a cake.
I don’t have a girlfriend. I just know a girl who would get really mad if she heard me say that.
Alcoholism is a disease, but it’s like the only disease that you can get yelled at for having. “DAMMIT, OTTO, YOU’RE AN ALCOHOLIC.” “DAMMIT, OTTO, YOU HAVE LUPUS.” One of those two doesn’t sound right.
I’m not good at golf, I never got good. I never got a hole in one, but I did hit a guy. And that’s way more satisfying.
I hate turtlenecks. Wearing a turtleneck is like being strangled by a really weak guy. All day. Like, if you wear a turtleneck and a backpack, it’s like a weak midget trying to bring you down.
I bought a doughnut, and they gave me a receipt. There is no need for that, man. I’ll just give you the money, you give me the doughnut. End of transaction. We do not need to bring ink and paper into this. I cannot imagine a situation in which I would have to prove that I bought a doughnut…some sceptical friend?: “Hey man! Don’t even act like I didn’t buy that doughnut! I got the documentation right here…damn…I forgot it at home… it’s in the filing cabinet…under D…for doughnut.”
I went camping once, and got into an argument with a girlfriend in the tent. This is a really bad place to get in an argument, because I walked out and attempted to “slam the flap.” How are you supposed to express your anger in this type of situation? Zipper it up really quick?
I like an escalator, man, ’cause an escalator can never break. It can only become stairs. There would never be an “Escalator Temporarily Out of Order” sign, only “Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the Fact That You Can Still Get Up There “
A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer.
I was writing a letter to my dad. I was going to write “I really enjoy being here,” but I accidentally wrote “rarely” instead of “really”. I still wanted to use it, so I wrote, “I rarely drive steamboats, Dad. There’s a lot of shit you don’t know about me. Quit tryin’ to act as if I am a steamboat operator.”
I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.
If carrots got you drunk, rabbits would be fucked up.
You know, on a traffic light green means go, and red means stop, but on a banana it’s just the opposite. Green means hold on… Yellow means go ahead, and red means “Where the fuck did you get that banana at?”
I’m against picketing, but I don’t know how to show it.
This shirt is “dry-clean only,” which means it’s dirty.
The other day I helped my friend stay put. It’s a lot easier than helping somebody move. I went over to his house and made sure he didn’t start to move shit into a truck.
I opened up a yoghurt, and underneath the lid it said “please try again” because they were having a contest I was unaware of. But I thought I might have opened the yoghurt wrong. Or maybe Yoplait was trying to inspire me. Come on Mitchel, don’t give up, please try again! A message of inspiration from your friends at Yoplait. Fruit on Bottom, Hope on top.
Say, I was on the Craig Kilborn show, and the next day, I flew to Minneapolis. I was at the airport, a guy came up, he said, “Dude! I saw you on TV last night!” But he did not say whether or not he thought I was good; he just confirmed I was on television. So I turned my head away from him for about a minute, then i turned it back. I said, “Dude! I saw you at the airport, about a minute ago. And you were good.”
One time, this guy handed me a picture of him, he said, “Here’s a picture of me when I was younger.” Every picture is of you when you were younger. “Here’s a picture of me when I’m older.” “You son of a bitch! How’d you pull that off? Lemme see that camera!”
My roommate said, he goes, “I need to shave and use the shower. Does anyone need to use the bathroom?” It’s like some weird-ass quiz where he reveals the answer first.
I like the American-Canadian border, ‘cuz if you’re walking on the border with a friend, and you push your friend into Canada, he can’t push you back right away, ‘cuz first he has to go through customs. “What brings you to Canada?”:[Points to the side] “That asshole.”
I like rice. Rice is great when you’re hungry and you want 2,000 of something.
I saw a commercial on late night TV, it said, “Forget everything you know about slipcovers.” So I did. And it was a load off my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell me slipcovers, and I didn’t know what the hell they were.
Hey, if you['re trying to get to] sleep, count sheep. Don’t count endangered animals; you will run out.
I saw this wino, he was eating grapes. I was like, “Dude, you have to wait.”
I bought a house, it’s a two-bedroom house. But I think it’s up to me how many bedrooms there are, don’t you? Fuck you, real estate lady, this bedroom has an oven in it.

I like the American-Canadian border, ‘cuz if you’re walking on the border with a friend, and you push your friend into Canada, he can’t push you back right away, ‘cuz first he has to go through customs. “What brings you to Canada?”:[Points to the side] “That asshole.”
I like rice. Rice is great when you’re hungry and you want 2,000 of something.
I saw a commercial on late night TV, it said, “Forget everything you know about slipcovers.” So I did. And it was a load off my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell me slipcovers, and I didn’t know what the hell they were.
Hey, if you['re trying to get to] sleep, count sheep. Don’t count endangered animals; you will run out.

update.
i didnt go... I suck so hardcore. but to be fair derek said he's almost positive i could get a job at Macaroni Grill, which would pay better. so... yeah. but if i dont then... i dont know i'm talking to my manager at Houlihans about getting more hours so... who knows. i just wish it didnt have to be so complicated.
meh
So i have an interview at Chili's today at 3.
im not sure how i feel about that. Money is money, but i dont know... hell i should shut up. i sound like such a snob right now. i just feel like if someone i know were to come in i would be so embarassed... they'd be like "oh yeah i have a fabulous life" and i'd have to look at them and say "yeah... i just work at chilis..."
but i do need the money... i guess i just need to put my pride aside.

hmm....
Does anyone else think she looks really sick and disgusting in this picture? Its like she just threw up and then tried to make it look cute or something. I'm not a fan of her music, or her at all really, but she is rather pretty and so when i saw this in target today i was really suprised because she looks so terrible. why not use this picture?
just a thought...

Movies that are totally NOT over-rated.
You know, some movies arent over rated at all, they really are just THAT good. Here are some of my fav's.
1. The Dark Night. It is worth all the hype its getting because its amazing. I never wanted it to end.
2. Lars and the Real Girl. I was kind of worried that it would be one of those "oohh yeah its so awesome just because its indie" movies that really arent that great but people worship just to be cool *coughGardenStatecough* But it really is sweeet, and Ryan Gosling is so awkward and wonderful and your heart just breaks for the guy. I loved it :)
3. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Even if you cant get into story (even though its really easy to get sucked into the nerdy tractor beam of LOTR knowledge) Its a feast for the eyes. I mean, so much detail was put into it, they didnt leave anything out. Its so rich and in depth that you just get swept away watching it.
4.Forrest Gump. I have to admit, i didnt like it when it first came out. But uh... i was 6 so, cut me some slack. I didnt understand all the things that were going on. I didnt understand how awesome it was to view history through the unbiased eyes of a child. What is sad though is that Jenny died of AIDS... after she slept with Forrest... meaning Forrest and possibly Forrest Jr. probably have AIDS too...
5. Superbad. Its not overrated because everyone knew those guys in highschool. Every one has known a few nerdy perv's who sat in their dads basement drinking cheap beer and watching porn. I'd say its the most accurate highschool movie of our generation. Then again, some girls grew up in a "mean girls/breakfast club" highschool and i never did so... yeah.
6. Love Actually. I hate chick flicks. HATE them. A LOT. But i love this movie. Mostly because it shows all different types of love, and how it's not perfect. But it also shows how beautiful it can be. Makes me believe in love, as unbelievably corny as that sounds.
7. The Boondock Saints. I'm not very big on action movies, but i think this brings more to the table then your average action movie. Its a movie about Justice, and what it really means. No i dont support what their doing, but i dont support a corrupt system either. BAH just watch it if you havent. its good.
8. Good Will Hunting. By far the best Robin Williams movie, heck its my favorite Matt Damon movie.
9. The Usual Suspects. 100% Badass.
10. Pulp Fiction. One of those 'must see' movies. Its delightful, really.
thats all i got for now, but i'll probably think of more later. bye!

ugh.
a coma sounds nice right about now... i could just sleep. i wouldnt have to worry about money, or gas, or how i'm going to get groceries, or how i'm going to get to work, or how i hurt people, or how angry i am, or how i'm not a good person, or how much i'm suffocating... i could just lay down and not have to think for a month or so.
but then my mom would have to pay for my hospital bills. and she just lost her job. and i just got into a car accident. and i'm losing my home. and i just want to feel sorry for myself even though i know it wont help anything...
...yep a coma sounds nice.

Tattoo...
This is the new tattoo derek got me for my birthday:)
and this was the picture it was based on! I loved it because next to the picture it said this: "Although this sea bird does not figure in Celtic legend, it is connected to Lir, the Sea-God and, like many other birds, was considered to be a messenger from the Otherworlds. Also known as a connection to other worlds"
Its funny because i hate seagulls, they are mean horrible birds.But i can be a mean horrible bird too, and if they can still be a messenger of God in spite of the fact that they are selfish and horrible then so can i. And yes i'm aware that i'm not Irish. However, i once had a vision where i met God in Ireland and everything became a lot clearer... its a bit personal, but thats why.
In other news: I applied for the Cafe Supervisor postion at Borders, my boss said that i was one of the frontrunners for the position so i have a good chance. It would be amazing if i got it, i'd get paid 10 dollars an hour and work full time so i wouldnt have to get a second job so please, please, please pray for me! thanks!

I just wanted to share these with you all because they make me tear up with laughter, and thats the best kind :) Happy Wednesday/day before my birthday!

What Is This World Coming To!!??
The following blog is out of an article written by www.cracked.com about 5 science experiments that prove humanity is doomed. This one i found particularily disturbing and i want to share with all of you:
The Milgram Experiment
The Setup:
When the prosecution of the Nazis got underway at the Nuremberg Trials, many of the defendants' excuse seemed to revolve around the ideas of, "I'm not really a prick" and, "Hey man, I was just following orders." Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram wanted to test willingness of subjects to obey an authority figure. Maybe he could just, you know, ask people? Oh, hell no. That would not be nearly horrifying enough.
Instead he ran an experiment where the subject was told he was a "teacher" and that his job was to give a memory test to another subject, located in another room. The whole thing was fake and the other subject was an actor.
The subject was told that whenever the other guy gave an incorrect answer, he was to press a button that would give him an electric shock. A guy in a lab coat was there to make sure he did it (again no real shock was being delivered, but the subject of course did not know this).
The subject was told that the shocks started at 45 volts and would increase with every wrong answer. Each time they pushed the button, the actor on the other end would scream and beg for the subject to stop.
So, can you guess how this went?
The Result:
Many subjects began to feel uncomfortable after a certain point, and questioned continuing the experiment. However, each time the guy in the lab coat encouraged them to continue. Most of them did, upping the voltage, delivering shock after shock while the victim screamed. Many subjects would laugh nervously, because laughter is the best medicine when pumping electrical currents through another person's body.
Eventually the actor would start banging on the wall that separated him from the subject, pleading about his heart condition. After further shocks, all sounds from victim's room would cease, indicating he was dead or unconscious. If you had to guess, what percentage of the subjects kept delivering shocks after that point?
Five percent? Ten?
Between 61 and 66 percent of subjects would continue the experiment until it reached the maximum voltage of 450, continuing to deliver shocks after the victim had been zapped into unconsciousness or the afterlife. Repeated studies have shown the same result: Subjects will mindlessly deliver pain to an innocent stranger as long as a dude in a lab coat says it's OK.
Most subjects wouldn't begin to object until after 300-volt shocks. Zero of them asked to stop the experiment before that point (keep in mind 100 volts is enough to kill a man, in some cases).
What This Says About You:
You might like to think of yourself as a free-thinking marauder, but when it comes down to it, odds are you won't stick it to The Man because of the fear The Man will stick it right back up your ass. And this was just a guy in a lab coat--imagine if he'd had a uniform, or a badge.
Charles Sheridan and Richard King took this experiment one step further, but asked subjects to shock a puppy for every incorrect action it made. Unlike Milgram's experiment, this shock was real. Exactly 20 out of 26 subjects went to the highest voltage.

Many subjects would laugh nervously, because laughter is the best medicine when pumping electrical currents through another person's body.
Eventually the actor would start banging on the wall that separated him from the subject, pleading about his heart condition. After further shocks, all sounds from victim's room would cease, indicating he was dead or unconscious. If you had to guess, what percentage of the subjects kept delivering shocks after that point?
Five percent? Ten?
Between 61 and 66 percent of subjects would continue the experiment until it reached the maximum voltage of 450, continuing to deliver shocks after the victim had been zapped into unconsciousness or the afterlife. Repeated studies have shown the same result: Subjects will mindlessly deliver pain to an innocent stranger as long as a dude in a lab coat says it's OK.
Most subjects wouldn't begin to object until after 300-volt shocks. Zero of them asked to stop the experiment before that point (keep in mind 100 volts is enough to kill a man, in some cases).
What This Says About You:
You might like to think of yourself as a free-thinking marauder, but when it comes down to it, odds are you won't stick it to The Man because of the fear The Man will stick it right back up your ass. And this was just a guy in a lab coat--imagine if he'd had a uniform, or a badge.
Charles Sheridan and Richard King took this experiment one step further, but asked subjects to shock a puppy for every incorrect action it made. Unlike Milgram's experiment, this shock was real. Exactly 20 out of 26 subjects went to the highest voltage.

yo
so i took the job at Borders. which i love, and i'm GOOD at. Every day that i've worked i've been the top seller of Borders Rewards cards, my boss came up and said "i'm really proud of you, we couldn't have picked anyone more perfect for this job!"...its been so long since i've been good at something... :( its been so nice being good at my job, i really, REALLY love it! And i found out that part time there is 32hours a week, and i can apply for insurance even though im part time (i just havent figured out how to do that yet, heh). The problem is so far they havent schedualed me for 32 hours, its more like 20 :/ so its like, i WILL get 32 hours, but not yet. and June 1st is 3 weeks away. which means i need another job and fast. blech. so pray... a lot.
p.s. today was beautiful out. so beautiful derek and i found my old bike, put air in the tires and took turns riding around my neighborhood. it was cute. especially derek because my bike is bright pink and purple and short :)

So Jillian said i should update...
Well. I got the job a Borders. And i should be happy, right? Well i cant really because they are only hiring part time right now... and i cant afford to pay rent on half time... SuperAmerica gas station hired me full time, but i cant do part time AND full time. so i had to choose... I made a Pro's and Con's list that went somthing like this:
Super A.
PROS-$8.00 an hour, $200 dollars a semester for college, Full time, Health insurance
CONS-i'd have to work 2pm to 10pm every day (i'd miss the afternoon and most of the evening activities). It doesnt interest me.
Borders
PROS- Dream Job.
CONS- Part time.
Lame... i know. So the manager at SuperAmerica asked me to come in and train at 8am on saturday and that i'd start work full time on monday. Well i spent most of friday debating, trying to see my way around this... I didnt want to turn down super america because i know its the smart choice, but i didnt want to turn down borders because its my flippin' dream job and i've been trying to get a job at a book store since i was 16, what if it took another 3 years to get a job at a book store? so i wanted more time to think about it so at 7:30am i called SuperAmerica and lied and told him i had a dentist appointment that i forgot about and if i could come in later that day or tomorrow.and he said "yeah, i'll call you monday and we can figure it out" ....so now its tuesday... i havent heard anything... and im thinking i probably blew my chances there...
AND THEN i looked online and saw that there was another Borders that was hiring full time, and that they were going to schedual interviews May 1st and 2nd. so i put in an application and i hope i hope i hope i hope i get it... but who knows. until then i have to work part time and borders, but that would be kinda crappy to work for 3 weeks and then quit and work at a different borders. what if i cant transfer? what if i dont get it? i cant just put all my hopes into this...
AND JUST NOW Paul, the manager from Super America called and was like "if you still want it call me back and come fill out the paper work and we'll train you right away" And thats good, but what happens friday when i have training for Borders? If i turn them down will the other Borders hiring full time find out? And again, what if i get the job!? then its really crappy to quit after working just a little. UGH i dont know what to do... HELP.
and just for fun here are some videos of this guy Jack Conte. he has really really awesome videos, so even though i know no one watches the videos i put up, these i promise are worth your while.

Time to update i suppose.
So i have a job interview at Borders books on Tuesday from 4-5pm. So please please please PRAY! seriously working at a book store is my dream job. All i want is an interview because i know that i would so totally be awesome in that interview. I LOVE books. LOVE them. being well read is about the only thing i have going for me. So i'm pretty much psyched. The only thing is its a group interview and i dont know how many positions there are so... i'm hoping i'll blow the rest of them out of the water. but i'm feelin' confident.
You know what video game is not over rated at all? Call of Duty. I love it. I may just be addicted.
In other news, i want a pet pig.
Here's Why
1.) They are very clean animals.
2.) They'll eat basically anything.
3.) They can be potty trained just like dogs can.
4.) They are very smart animals.
5.) Depending on the pig, they're not that big. (i want a Babe sized one)
6.) They are friggin Adorable.
(haha the pig in the above video is named Notorious P.I.G.)
so yeah. either a pig or a Shiba Inu dog. They are so pretty. They look like foxes! They also dont bark a lot and they arent to small or too big. AND they're smart.

You Are An ENFP |
The Inspirer You love being around people, and you are deeply committed to your friends. You are also unconventional, irreverent, and unimpressed by authority and rules. Incredibly perceptive, you can usually sense if someone has hidden motives. You use lots of colorful language and expressions. You're quite the storyteller! In love, you are quite the charmer. And you are definitely willing to risk your heart. You often don't follow through with your flirting or professed feelings. And you do break a lot of hearts. At work, you are driven but not a workaholic. You just always seem to enjoy what you do. You would make an excellent entrepreneur, politician, or journalist.

Why Minneapolis Owns:
Abundantly rich in water, the city has twenty lakes and wetlands, the Mississippi riverfront, creeks and waterfalls, many connected by parkways in the Chain of Lakes and the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway.
Minneapolis was once the world's flour milling capital and a hub for timber, and today is the primary business center between Chicago, Illinois, and Seattle, Washington
America's most literate city
The community's diverse population has a long tradition of charitable support through progressive public social programs and through private and corporate philanthropy
Beginning in the 1990s, a large Latino population arrived, along with refugees from Africa, especially from Somalia.
Minneapolis continues its heritage of welcoming newcomers. The metropolitan area is an immigrant gateway with a 127% increase in foreign-born residents between 1990 and 2000.
Compared to the U.S. national average in 2005, the city has fewer white, Hispanic, senior, and unemployed people, while it has more people aged over 18 and more with a college degree.
Minneapolis has the fourth highest percent of people who are gay, lesbian or bisexual, with 12.5%
large young population and low unemployment.
The standard of living is on the rise, with incomes among the highest in the Midwest
Five Fortune 500 headquarters are in Minneapolis proper: Target Corporation, U.S. Bancorp, Xcel Energy, Ameriprise Financial and Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.
Availability of Wi-Fi, transportation solutions, medical trials, university research and development expenditures, advanced degrees held by the work force, and energy conservation are so far above the national average that in 2005, Popular Science named Minneapolis the "Top Tech City" in the U.S.
The Twin Cities ranked the country's second best city in a 2006 Kiplinger's poll of Smart Places to Live and Minneapolis was one of the Seven Cool Cities for young professionals.
The region is second only to New York City in live theater per capita
Tom Waits released two songs about the city, Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis (Blue Valentine 1978) and 9th & Hennepin (Rain Dogs 1985)
The city has garnered notice for rap and hip hop and its spoken word community.
The Minneapolis park system has been called the best-designed, best-financed and best-maintained in America.
The state of Minnesota has the nation's highest number of bicyclists, sport fishermen, and snow skiers per capita.
Forbes identified Minneapolis the world's fifth cleanest city. (the WORLD!)
More than 40% of adults in Minneapolis-St. Paul give time to volunteer work, the highest percent in the U.S.
Minneapolis has five hospitals, three ranked among America's best by U.S. News & World Report
In 2000, 2.3 million theater tickets were sold in the region.
There are more theatre seats per capita than in any other American city, besides New York City.
Joel Coen and Ethan Coen grew up in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis.
thats why all you californians should come live here, because i miss you all and we should all live together and be one big happy family. or at least visit. i love you all :)

So,
I guess if i put advertisements on my blog they'll pay me money every month depending on how much you guys (my readers) click on the advertisements. i could make up to $100 a month, so i says to myself "eh, why not?"
Did i sell out or something? because i really dont see a downside. i get paid to do the same thing i'm doing now. that's pretty cool.
So in 1-2 days they'll tell me if i'm approved and then there will be advertisements. i'll let you know how its going.
In other news, there really isnt any. i'm still a bum. but happy :)
Theres an offer on the house, but we dont know if the morgage company will accept it, so we are just waiting. so what does that mean for me... that means that i dont have a home to go back to so i have to get an apartment, which i was going to do anyway, but then what about derek... i cant just be like "welp, you're on your own in a new city. good luck." and because i dont have a job Addison is worried (naturally) that i wont be able to make rent. which is totally valid, i wouldnt trust me either but.. that puts me in a really crappy situation... I'm going to need to get an affordable apartment for myself or something. i dont know... i'm going to need a place to live and maybe i should just get an apartment with derek (i know what you're all thinking, i would think it too). it just... i dont have a lot of options, and i do love him. Arrgh. i just get... so depressed when i think about it... not derek, but the stress of what the heck am i supposed to do. i'm really scared.
But the good news is Derek, Katelyn, and I (and possibly katie i dont know) are going to get jobs at Canterbury Park, a horse race track. I really think i'll get this job because they need a lot of people for the summer (A LOT) and my friend christine has been working there for years and can get us the hook up. and her friends dad owns a lot of it so... i think we're good. and that makes me happy. i dont want to put all my faith in this, but that would be so badass. it really would.
i'm not really sure what else to say on here now... i think i'm gonna go play the sims. i love you all.

TRUE STORY! HOW CRAZY!?
Operation: Snow White
Some time during the 1970s, the Church of Scientology decided that they'd had enough. Their religion about magic space aliens in a volcano wasn't getting the same respect as the religion about the magic bearded man whose dad made us all out of mud 6,000 years ago. Instead of converting to a slightly less silly religion, they did what any of us would have done and decided to destroy every single document that made their religion look bad,
Apparently, the Church of Scientology managed to perform the largest infiltration of the United States government in history. Ever. With all the people who have wanted to get their dirty little hands on incriminating records, the United States of America was finally duped by the people who came up with Dianetics. So those billions of dollars we put into national security annually are clearly well spent.
Anyway, somewhere around 5,000 of Scientology's crack commandos wiretapped and burglarized various agencies. They stole hundreds of documents, mainly from the IRS. No critic was spared, and in the end, 136 organizations, agencies and foreign embassies were infiltrated.
When all of this hit the fan, the Church naturally denied it. Then they kidnapped one of the operatives arrested for stealing documents and prevented him from testifying. These days, the Church of Scientology generally refuses to talk about Operation Snow White, except to say that they "purged" those who were involved. They won't say what the guilty parties were involved in, and those who were purged still hold high ranking offices in the Church, they were purged for their involvement.

Sims: The Movie.
http://www.cracked.com/blog/2008/03/05/8-upcoming-movie-adaptations-that-must-be-stopped/
This is stolen from the blog above. He thinks its just as crazy as i do.
1994’s Street Fighter wasn’t a particularly noteworthy film, but it did prove an important scientific fact, one that remains relevant to this day: Movies based on video games suck. Tomb Raider, Alone in the Dark, Resident Evil… I could go on, but I worked so hard for so long to repress those nasty memories. If I spend too much time thinking about these movies I’ll probably end up back in therapy, trying to forget them all over again. Then it’s only a matter of time before I think about Mortal Kombat, and then I’ll have to take the blue pills again. The ones that make everything all fuzzy.
Say what you will about the plethora of horrible video game adaptations that have hit the silver screen, but for the most part they’ve kind of made sense. If you have an action-packed video game full of static characters, turning it into an action-packed live-action movie should be pretty straightforward.
That’s all well and good for games with things like “characters” and “plots,” but how do you make a live-action movie out of The Sims? Do you film some dude sitting on a couch for 90 minutes, babbling in Simlish while soccer ball icons fly out of his head? Does the film reach its climax when he gets up, makes some weird noises, urinates all over the floor and then collapses in the (inexplicably blue) puddle? If my experience with The Sims is any indication, that’s the only plot this film could possibly have.
I could rant and rave about all the reasons this particular movie adaptation is a horrible idea, but instead I’m going to make a broad appeal to Hollywood:
PLEASE STOP MAKING VIDEO GAME MOVIE ADAPTATIONS. NONE OF THEM ARE ANY GOOD. THAT IS ALL.

please dont let me be misunderstood
I should clear something up.
Derek and i dont fight all the time. we just squabble. I mean, this blog is a little one-sided. its easy for me to complain, but then that leaves you all thinking he's a terrible guy and he isnt. at all. the fact of the matter is i love him very much. and being with him makes me happy. there was a point where i was frustrated and unsure, but now i see that i truely and honestly want to be with him. He's not perfect, but neither am i, and i shouldnt expect him to be. I'm sure if you all met him you'd like him. But i'm glad that you all care about me very much, i care about you all too and i understand why you'd be concerned. I love him, and i love you all.

HEY
Sorry for the lack of updating guys, but theres no wireless out here so i have to share one computer with a house full of people. And by 'out here' i mean Kentucky. yes. Kentucky. I've been here about a week now. I left only telling my parents. I know i should have told everyone where i was going and what i was doing but... well. i knew everyone would look down on me and try to talk me out of it. But i still should have been honest and for that i apologize. Let me at least try and explain myself.
1.) I've never been to Kentucky.
2.)I knew Derek enough to trust him, and know that he is a good guy, and that he wouldnt just leave me stranded if things dont work out between us.
3.) It's only 3 months. I'm going back to Minnesota in May to live with Addison and Sara (and yes, Derek is moving to Minneapolis too, and no its not because of me its because he wants change and was thinking about Minnepolis or Seattle long before he met me).
4.)I'm young and now is the time. I hadnt started working anywhere in Phoenix, my dad was really getting on my nerves, i had just been kicked out of school, so why not now? Why not go somewhere new, be with new people, try new things before i go back to Minnesota in a couple of months? I guess i've just looked at this as more of an adventure than a risk. Maybe i should have seen it more as a risk, but i dont regret my decision.
5.) I guess... I guess part of my fear was that because i was far away we wouldnt have lasted. I mean, one thing i've learned is that distance is a bitch, to any relationships, not just boyfriend/girlfriend relationships. And i really care about him. really i do. i know this is all happening really fast but i feel like i've known him years- Cliche' as that sounds.
anyway... "Thats all i can think of to say to you" (Evita anyone?...no?..ok.)
In recent news. My sister found my pepper spray and thought it was a flashlight so she sprayed it in my room at home. God bless her....
And yes, i have pepper spray, i even have a refill in case i used it once. Thank you dad, and because i forgot my pepper spray my dad gave me one of his knives for the road... yikes.
hmmmm... what else... I went to a really bad metal show in Louisville (pronounced Lou-a-vul). When i was in Memphis (which is suprisingly ghetto), i saw a guy dressed as Elvis driving a Semi-truck. Nashville is nice, didnt really get to spend time there though. I'd put up pictures but again, i'm not on my computer so...yeah. I'll figure something out, we were gonna buy a router soon. The picutre above is of 'Cumberland Falls' thats kind of where i am. technically i'm in Russel Springs/Jamestown. Tara Connors, the Miss USA who got in trouble for having nude pictures and doing drugs (the girl who sparked the Donald Trump v.s. Rosie O'Donnel argument) is from here haha and apparently she was really slutty in highschool, and did a lot of drugs in highschool too. So basically she lied to everyone saying she was "swept up by the big city and didnt even know what cocain was when she first moved here." dumb.
Well i hope you're all doing splended. i love you all.
OH and listen to 'Danger! High Volatage' and 'Gay Bar' by Detroit rock band Electric 6 You wont be disappointed. AND 'Dumb it down' by Lupe Fiasco
OH! and if you're having trouble deciding on who to vote for go to http://glassbooth.org/ It says i should vote for Mike Gravel or Barak Obama. interesting...

So i've decided that I am Fergie.
creepy huh, you cant even tell the difference. i know. But, thats not why i'm Fergie. its more like, i identify with the lyrics of her new song "Clumsy" They go:
You know, this isn't the first time this has happened to me
This love sick thing
I like serious relationships and a
A girl like me dont stay single for long
Cuz everytime a boyfriend and I break up
My world is crushed and I'm all alone
The love bug crawls right back up and bites me and I'm back
Can't help it
The girl can't help it (repeat 3x)
I'm not saying i'm a babe magnet or anything. that whole "i dont stay single for long" thing isnt true. but the part about i get sincerely crushed and then a day later i'm fall all over again, that part is true. I know it makes me really sketchy but. i dont know... i guess what i'm trying to say is theres this boy named Derek and i really like him and he really likes me and he asked me to be his girlfriend and i said yes. I havent told anyone about him just because i dont tell people about my personal life very often. I always think people dont take me seriously when it comes to guys because i'm always talking to different guys and it just doesnt seem 'credible' to them i guess. which to some extend i understand... it just makes me feel like crap every time i have to see people roll their eyes at me and talk down at me like a child every time i talk about it.
but i dont like lying either. so... guess i'll just throw it out there. met him on the internet. I know, I know, its sketchy. very sketchy. i get it. i also know its stupid and i know everyon thinks its lame and typical behavior of me and my low self esteem blah blah blah.
You can think whatever you want to. You can judge me as much as you want, but i guess what i'm saying is, I feel the way i feel and... well. thats all that matters to me. So yeah... this is my way of telling you all... and i'll probably get a lot of crap for this... but. oh well.

Confused.
So if someone you've known for four years kisses you while he's high and depressed, does that mean he likes you? or does that mean he was just lonely and messed up? the poor guy just got back from a funeral... he was probably lonely and messed up huh... yeah. well... what if for four years he called you sweetheart and kissed you on the cheek whenever he saw you, and said he always thought you were beautiful... what if he always made you feel beautiful? What if he's always been someone who really understood you... and what if you knew that even though he's a pot head you understand his motivation and the pain he's going through, and how you wish you could be there for him. what does that mean?
i am so confused.
