If anybody still reads this thing...I'm mainly on myspace now. I know, *groan*. But friggin EVERYONE is there. It's crazy. Anyway...I'm throwing Richard a birthday party on Sunday the 6th. If you're interested in making an appearance, you can IM me for details. I'm always on.

I don't get it. Why do I never have time to get anything done? And I look around and people have time to do extra things, like crafts and projects that aren't necessary. I work a normal 8-5 job, weekends off, and I still can't seem to get the friggin dishes done, or the bathroom clean, or the laundry, etc... It's extremely frustrating...I feel like I have to be a complete shut-in to do these simple things. And on top of that, I have a car to rebuild. *sigh* One day at a time, I guess...somebody tell me your secret. How do you find time?

Is it just me or is the blog fad fading away? Just an observation...

For those who don't know, Richard surprised me with my own iMac the other day. An older flat panel one, not the new totally badass way too expensive one. I love it! Over the last year I've been slowly turning into a Mac fan. I've never had my own computer (sucks to be poor) and I'm loving the fact that my first is the most reliable brand in the market. He's so good to me...

In other news, I got the hell outta Kirkland's. I was a manager and making only $7 an hour. So now I'm working for Suntrust making $9.25 an hour, and just switched from 30 hours a week to 40. And, I also quit Trade Secret. Two jobs for too long will suck the life out of you. I was turning boring, and that's not me.

Officially moved out, too. Most of my stuff is still in storage until I have time to go through everything and move it. I share an address with Richard now, and life is good. Overall, things are looking up.

You know what I really hate? Feminists who read romance novels and watch desperate housewives. I mean, think about it...how can these bitches get away with "empowering" themselves the way they do? What if it were turned around? What if guys went around talking about how every man is the king of his castle, or is a god like...say...Zeus or Aries for example? Boy, wouldn't that make their blood boil. Fact is, we know not every man is like that....and equally, we know not every woman is an "Aphrodite". I've seen some women who are most certainly not capable of any form of beauty. I'm sick of this "it's ok that you're fat or ugly or both because you're a woman and we're all goddesses" bullshit. Stop. It's been long enough since women were oppressed that you can truly be an equal now, instead of still trying to prove your worth by generating your own form of sexism. Get your nose out of the romance novels and start paying closer attention to the real man in your life, maybe. Get your head out of the clouds and see what's really going on. Instead of saying "why doesn't he understand me", try understanding him. In other words....grow up.

Back in april, when I first signed up for the air force, I went in with the intention of running away from my problems. I never really wanted to join the military. My biggest problem at the time was that I had fallen for Richard harder than anyone I've ever fallen for and it was not an option for us to be together. I couldn't deal, so I was running away. I had nothing holding me in PC anyway. Things are a tad different now. Richard and Missy realized they are both better off without each other and are in the process of getting a divorce. Missy found a new boyfriend she's happy with, and Richard and I are together and very happy. Needless to say I'm not going into the airforce anymore. We had to go through a lot of shit to get to where we are now, but I couldn't be happier.

So I just had frozen pancakes. Frozen, microwavable pancakes. Next week I'll try the microwavable sirloin. Honestly, how lazy are we when it comes to microwaving pancakes? Anyway...

Today's a big day for me. In roughly 30 minutes I'm having a wisdom tooth pulled out of my head. A wisdom tooth that houses the Grand Canyon. Seriously, this cavity is huge. I can't wait to not have to pick food out from my tooth after every meal. "Why not get them all pulled out?" Because I don't have insurance and can only afford one tooth at a time. "Why not wait for the military to pay for it?" 1. I can't take it anymore, and 2. a more detailed post about the whole military thing is in the works. So watch for it, because I only want to tell this story once.

Well, I'm off. Gotta get some Motrin before I go in. Apparently that's the best stuff for swelling. Wish me luck!

I've recently (within the last 20 minutes) rediscovered my biggest pet peeve. Hypocrites. I Fucking. Hate. Hypocrites.

I only posted this because of the odds. Everything else is pretty lame...

So I've decided that I no longer care what anyone thinks of me. I'm looking out for #1 from now on. Eat it.

Now that that's out of the way... I'm definitely joining the Air Force. I took the ASVAB, made a 95 (I thank you...), going to take the physical on the 1st, and then going to take the DLAB. A test to see if you qualify to become a linguist. Which, by the way, is an awesome, high paying job, and one of the very few the Air Force is offering a sign-on bonus for. So wish me luck. My recruiter said he's only known one person who passed the DLAB. You know what that says to me? "Challenge!" And we all know I love challenge. Also, I'm planning on signing for 6 years right off the bat, which'll put me going in as an E3. That means more money. And I am all about some money right now. I'm also all about getting the fuck out of here. Too much past...too much history in PC. Need to start over. The only problem now is I can't go to basic for like another 6 months. But we'll see how that goes...

It's been a while since I made a substantial post. I picked up a second job at Trade Secret in the mall. Need the extra cash. Just one shitty retail job will not pay my bills. So now I have two. Benefits? 25% off products, and free salon services. Got my hair trimmed and straightened tonight. Next time she has time I'm getting it highlighted. It looks soooo good already. I'm going to attempt to procure that CHI straightening iron for free...any returned merchandise that doesn't get restocked we get dibs on. I'll buy it if I have to. $119.95. Plus tax. *falls in love with hair* Mom's gonna get pictures, so maybe you'll have the pleasure of seeing how good I look. :-P

Expecting a call from Josh tonight. We're going out for margaritas to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. And to show off my new hair. :) Gotta go get ready. ¡Hasta luego!

Worst...Day...Ever yesterday. Will update later tonight.

Your Love Style is Eros

For you, love is all about the passion! And chances are, you're currently in love. You have a strong physical response to love... And you are great at committing (As long as the person makes your toes curl!)

So I'm up at one o'clock in the morning, extremely tired, but can't sleep because my uterus hates me. I swear to God, if I ever win the lottery the first thing I'm doing is getting a hysterectomy. Unless, of course, by some fluke I end up wanting kids. Doubt that'll happen. Tomorrow (today) I have to get up early and grab an extension form from the IRS office because I couldn't seem to get my taxes together on time. Oh well...there's always next week. Last week I went to the Air Force recruiter's office and talked to a recruiter. He told me what they have to offer, and I'm taking my ASVAB next Thursday. I really think it'll be good for me to join. So as soon as I kick this cold, I'm going to start working out to get ready for basic. Honestly...I can't wait. It'll get me out of this town at least for a little while, pay me quite well, pay for college, pay for insurance, and teach me self discipline. I would really like input on this. I want to know what your opinion of my decision is. No one's ever been able to give me a good reason not to join. My only concern at this point is the physical. If they have a problem with minor scoliosis (provided they catch it) I'm fucked. That would totally ruin my day, week, year, the rest of my life. So yeah. I've got my fingers and toes crossed.

And now, I'm going to go take some horse tranquilizers to kill this pain and go to bed. Thanks for listening to the deliriously exhausted ramblings of my mind.

You Belong in 1969

1969 If you scored... 1950 - 1959: You're fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in! 1960 - 1969: You are a free spirit with a huge heart. Love, peace, and happiness rule - oh, and drugs too. 1970 - 1979: Bold and brash, you take life by the horns. Whether you're partying or protesting, you give it your all! 1980 - 1989: Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You're colorful at night - and successful during the day. 1990 - 1999: With you anything goes! You're grunge one day, ghetto fabulous the next. It's all good!

How did they know?

Your Inner European is French!

Smart and sophisticated. You have the best of everything - at least, *you* think so.

Your Brain is 60.00% Female, 40.00% Male

Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female You are both sensitive and savvy Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve

A nice 60-40 split.

In other news...

I got up at 5:30 this morning and couldn't get back to sleep. So I decided to take a drive. I forgot how pretty the sunrise is. I see the sunset all the time, but it makes such a difference to keep seeing the sun afterward instead of it getting dark. I was up so early I had to wait for Chik-fil-A to open.
I just figured out why I never update this thing...my train of thought is so random that nothing ever makes sense to anyone but me. Well, maybe one other person who I seem to share a brain with ;). I had no less than 5 new topics run through my head just now. ::sigh:: My brain is overactive...or maybe I just have ADD. Ha.

I hope today goes better than the last few. I've had such shitty days lately, I'm starting to lose hope. Lots of frustrating things have been happening especially at work. But, that's retail for ya. And working with only girls. They say I might be able to stay back in the stockroom and clean up on Monday. ::crosses fingers:: It'll be cool to hang out with Daniel all day.
Well, I guess I should finish my OJ and get ready. It's such a gorgeous day outside; I hate that I'm gonna be stuck indoors all day.

It's official. I hate Microsoft.

I tried to open my Windows Messenger, but it told me I had to update to the new version before I could continue. Ok...fine...what's it gonna hurt... Meanwhile I'm thinking I should just get trillian and consolidate. Then I look up to discover my computer shutting down. WTF? Isn't it supposed to prompt you when a program requires a reboot? I was in the middle of something, god damn you! Grrr...so I've decided when I get my own computer it's gonna be a Mac, because Microsoft has pissed me off for the last time. It's gone beyond just not using the Microsoft software...this time it's personal.

You Are 21 Years Old

21 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

This just means I'm not boring and trying to be all grown up when I'm not. There's still a lot of kid in me, and I'm not trying to suppress it. I'm still responsible and serious when I need to be, but I'm not trying to force myself into adulthood. Where's the fun in that? :-P

Look, Josh!
