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...
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!
"To Me its a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anyone says "Hey can you give me a hand?" You can say, "sorry, got these sacks" -Jack Handy
"Whenever some asks me to define love, i usually spin around and pin the guy's arm behind his back. Now Who's asking questions?" -Jack Handy
"IF you're an ant walking across pudding, you probably have no idea the only thing between you and disaster is the strength of the pudding skin" -Jack Handy
"It's true that everytime a bell rings an angel gets its wings, but what they dont tell you is everytime you hear a mousetrap snap an angel gets set on fire!" -Jack Handy
"If i come back as a horse fly, I think my favorite thing would be to land on someones lip. Even if they smack you, Ick! You're all over their lip!" -Jack Handy
"I hate listening to people's dreams. It is like flipping through a stack of photographs. If I'm not in any of them and nobody is having sex, I just don't care." -Dennis from Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia
"If you're good today, I'm gonna buy you anything that you want... anything in the world, alright? [Tommy spits on Charlie] Oh my god! I will smash your face into a... into a jelly!" -Charlie from Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia
"Dennis: What the hell is going on?
Charlie: That's Tammy, Trey's ex-girlfriend. This is classic Tammy. Trey broke up with Tammy because Maureen Kanallen said that she saw Tammy flirting with Walt Timny at a party, but she was only doing it to make Trey jealous because you know, she thought that Trey secretly liked Erin Henebry, but he doesn't like Erin Henebry, it was all a bunch of bull.

Sweet Dee: What is happening?
Charlie: That's Tammy, Trey's ex-girlfriend. This is classic Tammy. Trey broke up with Tammy because--

20 years old on June 5th
So my birthday is in 4 days. i need some good ideas of things i can do that are still cheap. i have basically no money at all. well... i do get paid on the 6th though, so maybe on the weekend i can plan something... but still! What is something really fun and really really cheap? i'd like to have a party because i always used to have theme parties and i LOVE theme parties, but i dont want to have to buy a bunch of party stuff... boo. I wish i wasnt so Poo' (pronounced 'Pou' like Pour without the 'R'... the joke is i'm so poor i cant even afford the 'R', i'm not poo as in crap). So yeah... Ideas?

new
i figure its time for an update... but i'm not sure what to say. i need another job, and i might do a Mary Kay-esque type thing with a company called Arbonne. which wouldnt be so bad, but would certainly take me out of my comfort zone. Plus i might end up like this:
yikes.
yikes.

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.
