Still Tuesday (<---- No!)
11pm
I stayed home because my feet and back were so soooore that I could not bear to shuffle about a juice bar for eight hours in agony. I'm gonna talk to D. Dawg himself about cutting my hours so that I don't have to keep calling off from back-owies and near mental breakdowns.
With my free time I'll be able to do things like I did today:
- Make tea
- Buy an inexpensive camera on the internet.
- Type journals.
- Send emails.
- Return phone calls.
- Listen to soothing music.
- Make a t-shirt pattern.
- Practice yoga.
- Partake in a fourth of a bit of blissful mind-altering paper.
- Contemplate life, the universe, and everything.
- Contemplate the Girl Club Ganesha-Squid god.
- Make jewelry.
- Do laundry.
- Sleep in.
- Do my makeup.
- Fast.
- Tune my chakras.
- Go to the bank.
- Look at cute little squirrels on the way home from the bank.
- Ramble at Young Bryan about Einstein's theory of gravity while he's trying to read.
- LBRP
- Sit on the back porch and enjoy fall.
11:53pm est
This moment marks the formation of Girl Club.
Cephalopod Scouts Division 32.
At present moment we have three official rules:
- Respect my paper.
- (Don't take drugs, kids... unless it isn't a Tuesday.) Just say NO to Tuesdays.
- Never more than 1/2 over.
We have a Girl Club god.
He's the result of Ganesha gettin' jiggy with a giant squid.
And he's really cute.
He becomes angered when there are boys or drums in Girl Club.
We have a girl club boy. He's half girl now.
Mylar is essential.
As is absinthe.
And crayons.
Current missions:
- Recruit more girls.
- Color.
- Keep out boys and drums.
That's what my aunts call me now, after seeing what I wore to Chris's first gig last night. I was damn cute, though. XD
And it didn't bother me anyway, after Aunt Donna told me that at work, her cake said "Happy Birthday Hooker".
I love my family.
The show was fucking amazing. I'm very proud of Chris's drumskillz. People even started moshing. Including Young Bryan. XD Only bad part about it was that Nick kept saying dumb shit between songs, like that he felt like he was going to puke and stuff. But if they knock that off and gain a bit more confidence stage-presence-wise they'll go far fast.
Also. Fitz was on stage for the performance, and I got kickass pictures with the band. I look like I belong in it. *SINGS FOR THEM* I CAN BE THEIR AMY LEE. ONLY BLONDE (*SCARES AMY LEE*). AND HOLDING A STUFFED MOOSE/REINDEER MASCOTT.
OMG I CAN BE NANA! *finds a cooler band XD!!!* KUZN! WIG-BORROWING TIME!
Btw. SO my idea to put Fitz on stage. I'm awesome. *emoheart* XD
Afterwards, Bryan had previous plans to visit a pallypal, so I rode to the afterparty with Aunt donna. Me and Devin were larfing and I was still dancing like crazy. Since all of my festivaling and bellydance classes, I'm no longer shy about dancing AT ALL. So, basically I never stop. But anyway, me and Devin got to talking about a lot of *bizarre whistley noise of paranormality*. BUT. I have so much to tell him about what I've learned in no seat belt land (which I'll of course leave the seatbeltlessness bit out of moooostly) and teach him a bit about how to protect himself better with magick. He knows very little about defensive/basic protective skills and they'll really help him out. So I'll be going over there Thursday after work so we can hang out down by his beach and talk privately for a bit, then have the typical Aunt Donna's bonfire later on, since I'm off on Fridays and can just crash there that night. It'll be sweet. Devin's usually cool one-on-one.
In other news (XD) we've got two new girls at work to replace Jessica and Melissa. Their names are Jessie and Debbie. Jessie is a sixteen-year-old secret spy (friend of the owners' family), and Debbie is just psychotic and obnoxious, and middle-aged. XD Poor Halle has to train them to death and be trapped with them in the evenings now.
They may be trying to get rid of Judge Tim (TERRIBLE!!!) because he's been having (work-stress induced) panic attacks and calling off like three days a week for the last month or so with crazy thyroid shit and what seems to be a touch of depression. But he might actually be trying to get fired so he can collect unemployment and properly search for a better job without being all stressed out while doing it. Which we're ALL hoping for at least a little bit. XD
Except for Little George.
He's too proud of his work.
My bellydance class at the wellness center isn't continuing in the fall because I'm basically the only one who always showed up. XD BUT my teacher also teaches at a dance academy (SO FUCKING COOL!) where I'll be continuing, learning with students who've already been in bellydance for three years, and Nicole (my teacher) said I fit in perfectly with them and am doing a great job. I went to the last summer class there on Tuesday night and it was much more fast-paced, but I still did great. I like this speed better. I get to learn more faster. And since this is a real dance school, there's a recital at the end of the season with a real costume and everything. I'm ecstatic! I'm getting myself a full-length mirror so I can practice better at home. It makes practice worlds better to be able to see yourself.
I'll be good enough to perform or teach... or both. I'm awesome!!! And proud of myself. ^-^
Also, Mike's birthday was on Wednesday, and after work (he got his new jarb he wanted so badly! Yay!) he came over and we gave him a proper celebration, with a homemade (XD) giant chocolate chip cookie (cake thing) and present and card and funtymez. Even Leo came to the party.
We started painting Psychedellic Jesus.
Sunday, October 5th
Noon
I has a shed. We were supposed to paint it today but it's too cold, so the paint wouldn't stick right. Or something. It's huge, but still doesn't completely block the creepy old staring guy from my bathroom window. *shrug* Gramma's stuff is gonna go in there when she moves in. Some of it anyway. Not all of it would even fit in this house if we took all of me and my mom's stuff out (which also barely fits). A lot of it will be given away and some will go into storage I think. Terrible. But I don't care. I'll be moving out anyway. I really should save more. I've been spending a lot lately. But I can't help it. I've gone so long without being able to have anything that I really want to reward myself for little things in a way I never could for... any things before. I'm not buying too much STUFF really. Just Wen and food. Really great food. Delivered to me. Dot com. XD!
I went to Niki's after work on Friday and we ordered in from a sushi place. The sushi was amaaazing and I got a delicious seaweed salad too. Niki got teriyaki chicken (of course XD!) that came with rice, miso soup, a salad (for little kookz!) and these mysterious, yet delicious, pouches of meat. I french-braided her hair, trimmed her NANA wig to perfection and we watched The Breakfast Club (and took pictures). It was super duper fun. And then I went to sleeps.
Yesterday I woke up at 8:30am to find that Chris had been there the whole time. I thought he was at his dad's, but he had just been in his room sleeping since like 6pm the night before. XD!!! I took a shower, then we chatted a bit while Niki was sleeping, and watched super hard mario.
Me and Niknik went to the health food shop and found out the goff girl there is having a baby girl! But apparently it's Tim's, so Niki's back to marrying the sushi chef at my work. Even though the baby is really hers. XD!!! We got mint chocolate swirl rice cream and ate it outside the closed cafe next to the health food shop and had a chat. Then we went back to her house on the bus (while taking pictures) and watched mochi poof up in the oven while laughing (and taking pictures). We had it with some of the agave nectar I bought, and it was reeeally good. And I gave her a treat stick, which she enjoyed. XD
Then I went to Camcam's and watched him fly around his tiny RC helicopter. It's sooo cute! Then we had chicken/azn n00dles/key-lime bars his mom made (surprisingly edible... because it all came out of boxes besides the chicken which was juicy but devastatingly flavorless), and he played with his synth some and showed me Portal before we watched some Initial D and had super cuddles times™. JESUS, that's my boy.
My mom is driving me nuts today. It's one of those days where she got up at the exact same time as me, and decided to do shit in the room I'm in, and give me no privacy and not allowing me to concentrate... CONSTANTLY interrupting me to make me set up this stupid fucking shelf.
There are three new girls in the deli, so I'm working four days a week now instead of five. That gets me $180 a week.
The new health food store opens up in like a month (maybe two?). It's really tempting. If I could work five days a week there, even with slightly less money per hour I'd probably be making more and liking my job more.
She's pounding metal with a mallot three feet away. HELP ME.
9:30pm
The new health food shop is going to be right near my work. It will be four times the size of the original store, and have a juice bar in it. There's still no official opening date yet. I could DIE of joy.
Right down the street from the original health food shop there's also a CPS shop, a fairy/nature(/CPS?) shop, and an Irish pub (which I got stew from with Cameron today. IT WAS SO GOOD.). My next day off I want to walk around that area and check out all the places. And the other health food shop across the street from the one I go to that I still haven't been to yet. There are apartments in that area too. And it's all in like a half hour walking distance, in a nice neighborhood. That's where I want to live as soon as I have my degree paid for and own a car. If I moved there right after getting my degree, I'd be paying rent out the ass and wouldn't be able to afford a car. So even though I'll be mostly walking, I still need to get a car first.
They have mint chocolate swirl ice cream (at the original health food shop XD) that's made from rice milk. It's AMAZING. I think I like it better than Bryers. No milk after-taste. Excellent texture and flavor. Not so good once it's melted, but it melts very slowly. The chocolate swirls are fudgey and minty. Not sure if I like that so much. The new store should have more flavors. I think they have it at Giant Beagle too. Maybe they have more flavors. Unless they only have the rice milk, and not the ice cream. Anyway, it's called Good Karma (Rice Divine). Let's check it oooout!
I want to make a work people list too. Yes.
Cindy (aka: Hitler/Christine2): Self explanatory.
Anne: HILARIOUS. 25. Has a 5 year old daughter. I thought she was like eighteen and was so shocked about the kid. LOL We take the (breaded) soooole train to Clam Town whenever one (or one hundred) opens up, and we mimic Hitler when she's off. We salute each other when it's time for our lunch breaks.
Justin (aka: Daddy/Captain/Squirrelaroo): Jealous because he was off the day me and Anne formed 67687963123 inside jokes. Slacker. Dave the Laugh. Drinks and parties a lot. Squirrelaroo is his species, because stores cheese for winter in his apron pouch. (Me and Anne are GENIUSES.). Went to L.A. to try to become a DJ right before I started working there, came back a week later. Currently trying to figure out if he's capable of developing musical taste. I'll determine that after he plays some music from the band he was raving about yesterday. Calls me Meat Man. Smoker (ick, elch, eltche). We talk about cartoons. Cameron hates him with a passion.
Jenn: Went to our "rival school" and does a lot of black head motions when she's got an attitude. Round, with glasses, same age as me. I steal her customers and she tries to crush my arms when I try to get meat out of the case. XD She tells me about how her old boyfriend cheated on her and how she thought she might have been pregnant a while back. I sit there and nod, trying not to hurl at the idea of someone touching a person that physically terrifying. She constantly tells me I'm weird. I tell her I know. Anne can't stand her. Justin asked if I'd stab her with a poison dart in the break room if he gave me one. I said I'd think about it.
Pam: Tiny, cute grandma type. From England, and therefore so much fun to hear talk. All of our customers from the UK talk to her, and bring her newspapers from London, etc. Really cool.
Ed: Best person to close with 'cause he's so laid back. Probably in like his sixties. From New York. Light-hearted. Hates Cindy's bullshit. Starts chats when it's not busy instead of making us clean the world in silence.
Mary: Greatest demo person ever. Me and Anne always hope she's going to give out samples. Speaks kind of slowly. Really nice. "Come on over here and get a sample. I have breaded soooole. I have clams here ready for sampling. One just opened up." Good times, good times. When I brought Cameron in to introduce him to everyone, she said we were so cute walking around the... stooore together. ^-^
Maryanne: Usually nice, but snapped at us for talking the other day (bizarre). She's the one who sneakily threw away chicken because she was annoyed by Cindy being Cindy. She shakes. Like a chihuahua.
Myra: Nice. In her forties or fifties. Good to close with. She said she likes closing with me. ^-^ Her and Justin joking around together is REALLY hilarious. She laughs really hard at a lot of the "that's what she said" type of jokes. Only they're usually worse. XD She'd make a much better manager than Cindy.
The Sushi Chef (whose name I still don't know): Really nice. Cute. Thick Japanese accent. Should let Niki live with her. LOL
That's everyone in the deli (I hope I didn't forget anyone LOL). Unless you count a couple people from the seafood department who come over to help when we're short-handed. Outside of the deli there's my friends from school, Mary who trained me (I'm her unofficial dietician XD), John from the kitchen, and Cathy and Corrine up front who I talk to the most in the breakroom.
I got my first five-day-week paycheck yesterday.
$240
I deserve a juicer.
Then I'll move it faster, faster, faster, faster.
Wednesday, September 10th
Noonish
Only two days off this week. Today and Friday. I fucking NEED a day off after closing with Cindy last night. She makes us do twice as much as anyone else makes us, and every time she walks past me, she goes,"Faster, faster, faster, faster!" SHUT. UP! MY ARMS WILL NOT MOVE FASTER THAN THIS WITHOUT FLYING OFF OF MY BODY. GO. AWAAAAY.
The store was closed. The customers were all gone. The EMPLOYEES were all gone. Except for me, Justin, and Cindy. Yet, for some reason, it is inappropriate to talk while I'm cleaning the glass on the meat display case.
I was already pissed at her for being such an annoying bitch, and for having to clean ALL THREE slicers that night because there were only two of us closing the deli (Cindy had to close up the seafood department because the guy who was supposed to got hurt in culinary school today). But. Even though I'd been working my ass off and putting up with her shit for the past nine hours (THAT'S RIGHT KIDS, NINE FUCKING HOURS OF CINDY) I wasn't allowed to make idle conversation to take my mind off of murdering her in the face. FINE. I'LL JUST GO FASTERFASTERFASTERFASTER. MY RAGE FUELS MY ARM. AND MY MURDEROUS PLOT. ENJOY.
"Nooo taaaalkING! You need to be working!"
"We can do both at the same time! (forced happy tone)"
"No you can't! If you're looking up at him you're not looking at what you're cleaning."
What?! I didn't even know where the fuck he was at. I just responded to a voice from beyond the counter. SHUT. UP. CINDY. THIS IS NOT STUDY HALL. I HATE YOU.
"I wasn't looking up at him."
"*hushedgrumble*"
And as if that were not enough, they had to shut the power off because they're doing something to the freezers or something. I don't know. But, Cindy had us rush over to the machine to punch out, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE. WOW. SO, A FUCKING HALF HOUR AFTER WE'RE SUPPOSED TO LEAVE IS TOO LATE. IMAGINE THAT. So, she had us go fasterfasterfasterfaster back to the deli, and I was THOROUGHLY PISSED, rushing round like a fucking maniac, and slipped on the floor (I didn't know Justin had just mopped. I was too consumed by my attempt to burn a hole through the glass I was cleaning with my fasterfasterfaster arm.) and landed flat on my ass (and killed myself). It was a classic Charlie Brown football kick fall, without so many flips.
She was acting all fucking concerned. Concerned that I might report her ass and jeopardize her fucking JOB maybe. It's her WHOLE FUCKING LIFE. She is the ONLY person I've met there who talks about nothing but work. Justin told me she has kids! SHE HAS NEVER MENTIONED HAVING CHILDREN, A HUSBAND, A PET, A FRIEND, A THOUGHT, OR ANYTHING BUT MEAT AND CHEESE. DIE ALREADY!
Me and Justin had a very serious discussion about this (while she was at her 2 o'clock meeting and the employees were allowed to speak) and decided that no one would fuck that. The kids are either a lie, adopted, or were artificially inseminated. No one would even rape her. She'd be talking about stock levels. Who gets off on that?
Anyway, when we FINALLY got out of there (9 fucking 15 pm), I was on the bench in front of the store trying to release all of the day's frustration by crying and ranting to Cameron on the phone, when Cindy comes around the fucking corner and starts talking to me! "Are you okay? How long until your ride gets here? Do you want me to wait with you?' WTF?! NO! GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!!! IT'S HARD TO BITCH ABOUT YOU WHEN YOU'RE A FOOT AWAY. IT'S YOUR FUCKING FAULT I'M ENRAGED AND HAVE A THROBBING ASS-BRUISE RIGHT NOW. DON'T TRY TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL LESS GUILTY BY PRETENDING TO CARE. YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT GETTING IN TROUBLE FOR HARASSING AND CAUSING INJURY TO CUTE HAPPY NEW EMPLOYEES THAT THE MANAGER ABOVE YOU LIKES. YEAH. MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TOLD HIM WHAT A GREAT JOB I WAS DOING SO FAR. MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE KILLED YOURSELF INSTEAD. HAVE A GOOD EVENING. I HOPE YOUR CHILDREN KILL YOU IN YOUR SLEEP. YOU KNOW THEY WANT TO.

4pm
I get paid for my training! YESSS! It was so exhausting, though, so I'm sort of not surprised. LOL 4pm-8pm Monday and yesterday. Mostly handouts, videos, and paperwork. But I did get to shadow for quite a while yesterday. I was taught how to use and clean the meat slicer. The scales look really confusing though. They punch in like a million numbers after they weight stuff. How do they know what to push? I'll let you know when I find out. XD
I get an hour lunch, and a fifteen minute break. And I joined the muthafuckin' union. XD My department manager's name is Cindy. It was SO hard to not be like, "HI CINDY!!!" Like I did with Jonjon's Cindy every time she was nearby. XD
There was this one video that's supposed to be "funny". The only funny thing about it was how TERRIBLE the acting was. It (like everything else in our fucking training) was all about customer service. And EVERY time a customer was treated well, they said "WOOOW!"
There were two other new guys (Stephen in dairy and Alex in produce, both from a nearby Catholic school, though Alex just graduated) who started the same day I did, and while me and Alex watched the WOW video, Stephen was downstairs doing a customer service computer quiz thing with Mary (who's was doing all of our customer service training. Out of everyone I've met so far she's my favorite, though everyone is SO nice). So, when it was Stephen's turn to watch the video, we told him to count the wows. LMFAO I don't know if he actually did, though. He's very quiet. And for once, I'm not. XD Except with some of the cashiers who look like they might be snobby. I'm still careful around them. But yeah, if I ever get to train people, I'm definitely counting the wows next time I see that.
And yesterday, I saw Lindsay! Michelle's sister. We were choir buddies back in the day, and she was best friends with Mesa. I had NO idea she worked there! We were very excited, and caught up on each others' lives (I was early, and she'd pop over between bagging groceries). She was like,"If you're ever working an eight hour shift...*nod* lunch." XD!!! She graduated a year before me, and other than a "Hi, Lindsay!" in the Land O'Lakes halls a couple times last year, I haven't really talked to her since her graduation party. It's funny. I knew her longer, but ended up a lot closer with Michelle. I guess we just have more in common. I still haven't asked her how her China trip was. TO MYSPACE!
BUT FIRST. I MUST SAY THIS.
THE BAKERY.
IS MY WEAKNESS.
NIKI. I WILL BRING YOU NOMS.
I should bring you to the store so you can pick out favorite noms.
Here's a list of all the people I've met (and remembered):
- Bob (Manager)
- Sean (knew from school, manager's son)
- Alex (produce)
- Stephen (dairy)
- Danielle (knew from school)
- Lindsay (knew from school)
- Jen (also in deli. hate that I'm not the only one. my name tag has to say Jennifer now instead. I might change it to Jenni before I start interacting with customers. No one calls me that anymore but Cameron and sometimes aunts and uncles. And I'm sure Devin would if he knew who I was. LMFAO Anyway, I miss it.)
- Mary (basically everything)
- Anne (deli)
- Maryanne (deli)
- Cindy (deli manager)
- Nick (dairy manager)
- Cory (female. customer service desk)
And I met at least another ten people whose names I can't remember. Mary introduced us to EVERYONE we walked past. It was a bit overwhelming, but everyone was very welcoming. Thank god for name tags, eh?
Also! I has a uniform! It's kind of cute, but everything is so big on me. XD Because it's in "ladies sizes" instead of juniors, which would fit me. Black baseball cap (the visor was cuter, but it hurt my head and kept sliding down my face), hairs in a ponytail (all of them. XD Just because I'm in deli), light blue button-up shirt, black apron, black shoes (or white), black (or khaki, or dark blue) pants (which you supply). No facial piercings, and "offensive" tattoos must be covered. And no more than three piercings per ear, and two rings per hand. I don't think hair color is an issue, because there's a black lady who works in the kitchen with BRIGHT red-orangey hair. But that might be because she doesn't do as much customer interaction. I'm not sure. Boys need to have hair above shoulder length, and no facial hair. Basically, most of our customers are old people, who are easily frightened or offended... and most of all, OBSCENELY judgemental.

3:24am
I've got goodies from Cameron's Connecticut trip. Including Swedish cookies. That were made in Canada. XD
And some activities I'm sure he'd prefer I not mention.
Now...!
>;D
All our lives we chase the night like it's never-ending, you the sun and I the moon.
I'm so glad he's back. He really is my soulmate. He actually said to me today,"I feel like I've loved you for thousands of years." It moved me to tears. I'm not afraid of losing him anymore because I now realize that there is nothing stronger than what holds us together. I feel safe now, knowing that if I ever lose him, we'll soon find each other again. Whether in this life, or what lies after. Just as we have before.
But I'm sure you're not interested in my mush. XD
I have an appointment with my dentist tomorrow at five. Before then, I'm probably going to be putting away lots of laundry, and making my ripped-knee pants really cute. And making another green smoothie.
Me and Niki made our very first green smoothie two days ago! ^-^ And it was DELICIOUS! We're amazing. And Chris is insane for not liking berries. But he likes other fruit, so I won't get angry. XD
The one I made today had:
- 1 apple
- 1 nectarine
- 1 handful of blueberries
- 1 tbs coconut oil
- 1 metric shit-ton greens
It wasn't as sweet as I was hoping, but that's because I saved half of my blueberries for today, so it's easily fixable. And my blender can get rid of all the colorful bits. But since it's old, it gets hot easily and makes my smoothie kind of warm, which I dislike. But, overall, it was good. Definitely like the coconut oil in there. But I wouldn't add more than a tablespoon because it overpowers the other fruit flavors a bit. I missed the banana. But it still had a nice, creamy texture without it. I was concerned about that.
I'm also going to apply at Giant Beagle, since I go there so much. And maybe that one Azn Fewd place by the nail place where the azns work. XD A place within walking distance to Niki's would be neat 'cause I wouldn't have to avoid scheduling peep hangs on days I have to work. Plus I could probably get me and Niki discounts on organic numnums and pokeymanz. I'm getting Niki a booster pack when I get my first paycheck. She's bought me way too much stuff. All those candy bars. XD
I also had a surprisingly long conversation with Nick (Niki's boyfriend) after she fell asleep. It was funny, because I've never really talked to him before, but we discussed at length the two taboo conversation topics... religion and politics, and really nothing else. Besides a bit about smoking, careers, and his mom, and Uncle Joe. Niki fell asleep around 6am, and we didn't finish talking until after 8am. About religion and politics. LMFAO It's funny how the most controversial things are anything but when open-minded people discuss them, even if they've never talked before. He taught me about how the new world order is gonna kick our asses, and I taught him about how cool and not evil paganism is. XD CPS FTW!
Also. Niki, are you working Saturday? During the party? Pliss let me know.
5pm
It's the moment you've all been waiting for! Sort of.
. . .
You see, I've managed to find this tiny, shitty little camera that was like fifteen dollars new (like four years ago), and managed to get some decent pictures with it in a mirror. ^-^ Anyway, here you go. XD
Adorable, don't you agree? ^-^
These are honestly the best pictures manageable with the tiny camera, so please forgive me. XD
I loooooooove my dress! I feel like I'm cosplaying when I put it on, just because I'm not used to seeing clothes this cute outside of manga and anime. ^-^
Sooooooooooooo cuuuuuute!
You know you love it.
3am
Pokenerd Update:
So, since Cameron has had no roomie to play pokemon cards with (all the time) since moving back home, he's decided to teach his mom. So now, the three of us have a little "game night" every Monday, where we play each other and the two who win the most get a prize. So, on Monday, Cameron came in first (winning both games he played) and I came in second (winning against his mom, and losing against him).
As my prize I chose a Majestic Dawn booster pack in which I got this!
I COULD HAVE CRIED WITH JOY! I changed my deck immediately from electric/fighting to electric/grass, and at League yesterday I won against all three of Cameron's decks that always used to kick my ass. I AM SO HAPPY! I got a shit-ton of foil energies too. Yay!
I need to get a Leafeon EX now. Or as last year's national champion calls it, "Weed Puppy".
He gave me this Mew card (that he had three of) because I thought it was really cute.
Then he threw a card at Cameron and said,"What? You think Monferno is cute? Here you go!" LMFAO! So Cameron had him sign it. XD They're good buddies now.
He also ate a Burmy.
