[November 25, 2009] Happy Thanksgiving! Here is a picture of my kitchen table. It's probably the only room that finished and I'm completely happy with. reply

[November 23, 2009] Today at work, a Asian man that spoke no english came in to buy cigarettes. It was hard to understand him, as well it was hard for him to understand us, but we finally worked it through and he left. I was ringing up the woman behind him, and she says,'You know, I really hate that. They should go back to where they came from.' This isn't the worst thing I've heard, but it definitely made me feel angry. I have dealt with this, and tried to ignore it, but I no longer can't. I hear about 2-3 racist comments a week when I'm a at work. First, I got really mad, and just let it go. Now I hear more and more every week, and just cannot deal with it. My normal response is,'You know, that isn't very nice.' And 9 times out of 10, the person will feel stupid and apologize, or leave with their tail between their legs. I just....I can't hear this stuff anymore. I can't do it. It makes my day horrible, and I don't know what to do. I guess I'm doing all I can, really. But I don't want this to make me feel horrible. Has this ever happened to you, and how did/would you say? p.s. Yesterday a customer bought me a $5 Subway gift card, today he bought me a gift card to get my nails done? wtf CREEPO. 3/ read reply

[June 28, 2009] [ mood | content ] [ music | Saint John-Cold War Kids ] I'm an incredibly lazy person when I get home from work, and I constantly need to write down what I need to do so I'll actually do it. 'Here's my Summer 2009, Get It Done NOW, Bitch' list. -Get craftier. Get better at what I know how to do, and learn new things. -Make soap and try to sell it. Make a name for myself. I cannot continue working for someone else and doing mindless shit the rest of my life. I need to get out of that, working retail is not something I like doing at all. -Grow vegetables and herbs. I can use the herbs for the soap, and eat the rest. Perhaps even sell the vegetables. Can you tell by now I hate my day job? -Ride my bike more. -Paint my bike. -re-upholster and or paint furniture. -Get my diver's license. I've had my permit wayy too long. -Don't worry about things I can't change. -Go to fairs, festivals. -Stop being a retard when I meet someone new. To be continued.... 1/ read reply

a stranger with your door key. [June 06, 2009] Tonight I am in a very sad mood. To be honest, it's been a shitty couple of days. Right now, my sister is living in Mississippi. She's established herself there after divorcing her husband. She got a promotion at her job recently, and I thought she was doing better. But I found out through Myspace that she has this guy living with her, and this guy, 'Jake' has a pet, 'Heidi' and he is her master. My sister, this guy, and this 17 year old are in a three-way relationship. My sister is not in a sound state of mind. We both had to endure a bipolar, emotionally abusive parent growing up, and her ex-husband was even worse than my father. I was there for some of her husbands' actions and I couldn't believe a person would put up with what she did. Now, I believe she's hit rock bottom. No self-esteem. No value. Nothing. I have been emailing her, and I'm talking to a completely different person. No emotion. A shell. Nothing is there. It hurts so much to have to be forced to watch this. I can't do anything. My hands are tied-tight. I want to help. I want to take her away. I want to solve her problems. I can't. I need to absorb those two words. 1/ read reply

[March 06, 2009] Hm hm hmmm. Been working alot. Got my income tax return. And I got paid today. I have alot of money now, and I don't know what to do with it. Sure, I'll buy some new pants, maybe some shirts, but I don't need anything. It's a good feeling in fact, to just live simply. Things are just things. They don't matter. There's a party tonight, and I don't want to go. But I also don't want to sit in this apartment all night like a freak. What's worse...hanging out with people i dislike or being an insane shut-in? i don't know the answer. There's also a crappy punk-pop sing-song-fall-out-boy-poser band playing downstairs at the moment. Sometimes i hate this place. 1/ read reply

[February 19, 2009] I really hate working. And I think I sound lazy when I say that, but I hate it. I really do. reply

[February 10, 2009] Work has been going okay. All of my money has been going to rent since Max's job is seasonal, so that sorta sucks. My tax return is going to be a big fat sum of 850.00 though. Thank god. I miss the summer so much. The winter does almost nothing for me anymore. ANYWAY. Valentine's Day is Saturday, and we made reservations, but I doubt we'll be able to afford it. i guess we'll be eating heart-shaped meatloaf, hahaha. it doesn't matter anyway. p.s. Someone wiped their ass on the 'dry off your hands towel' in my bathroom. reply

[December 28, 2008] I drove to Wal-Mart today alll by myself. Yay to be 22 and still don't know how to completely drive! 1/ read reply

lol [December 20, 2008] I made myself a black satin pencil skirt for a Christmas party. I duct-taped the shit out of the hem and now I'm going to wear it to a wealthy doctor's house. HAHA. (i didn't pay a cent for my outfit...all of it was fabric/clothes thrown out by goodwill.) 1/ read reply

life, man! [August 15, 2008] Blah. I haven't been online in months. I've been an awful friend to some. I live so far away from life. Anywho, me and Max went to get coffee and decieded to break into this abandoned house across the street from where we live. It was so beautiful, I felt like I was in a dream. I wish I had a camera to capture everything. Being in that house made me excited for some reason and work wasn't so bad because of that. I need a digital camera! Donations will be accepted. Bye. reply

[May 19, 2008] it's been awhile dammit. so here's what i got: a shitty job. an apartment filled with things collected from dumpsters and sidewalks. a fish named sid. (rip roxy.) 2 channels. a great boyfriend. that feels weird to say for some reason. purple hair. yeah, that's about it. but i'm happy though. fghujkdsljjsflfjsl!@@@ 1/ read reply

[December 18, 2007] I just knocked over one of my mom's bf's surround sound speakers or whatever the fuck they're called. ....It felt good to do it. 2/ read reply

[November 18, 2007] I hate that we moved in with my mom's boyfriend. I don't really feel comfortable at all. It sounds really stupid, but it's the fucking tv. The tv is on all day and night. This is no ordinary tv. It's huge. and has surround sound. It keeps me up. I can't sleep. right now, all i want to do is sleep. oh yeah, he also plays bad boys and war of the worlds ALL DAY. i know all the dialoge to these movies. i just want to sleep and be comfortable. i feel lke shit. i feel like crying. fuck you, mom's bf and your overly huge fucking tv. die. p.s. i just woke up, so if this sounds retarded, sorry. reply

hey you! [November 01, 2007] [ music | Blonde Redhead-Swing Pool ] pluck my eyebrows. thanks. reply

[October 25, 2007] [ mood | surprised ] [ music | The National. ] it's an amazing thing when you finally don't feel anything for someone that broke your heart. not one thing. i saw him, and didn't feel sad, anxious...i didn't feel like i missed him. in your face! 1/ read reply

good times. [October 01, 2007] i've been eating entirely too much food, laughing too much with my brother, listening to songs that are too beautiful, and enjoying life. you just cannot stop that. 1/ read reply

[September 01, 2007] [ music | Bright Eyes ] I've been working alot. Getting up early alot. Taking the 90 minute bus ride alot. Work is okay, I like it there. Some people are sorta snobby, but I guess you have to expect that from a store that sells things to people that are vain and insecure. HAHA. I'm such a bitch sometimes. I don't really have a life. I wish I had someone to hang out with. Actually, I wish i could go back in time to the end of 2006. That was a good time. I'm going to look for new sheets online! bye! reply

[August 20, 2007] Good news, I got the job at Ulta. I'm pretty excited to start working again. It will be kinda hard to get to work, but sometimes you have to just go with it. This job is the first step towards my own car, and possibly my own place. I am making progress. I don't have much else to say except it's been raining alot and my mom is home on vacation all week. :-/ meh. 2/ read reply

[August 15, 2007] I had a interview at Ulta today. It's a makeup/hair product place if you don't know. I think it went okay. The three women I met there were very...tan, blonde, and middle-aged. Basically they were women who were trying too hard to stay young. They were nice, but sort of flighty. Ah well. I hope I get it. I seriously need something. Anyway, me, my brother in law, my sister and brother went out to eat today. I had chicken pasta, and I don't think my stomach liked that. blahblahblahbye. reply
