School-ness

I’ve begun to prepare for college in the spring. I’m extremely excited, yet at the same time…already extremely stressed and overwhelmed. Do you have any idea how much it costs for college? To go to UVU (the school I currently have my eyes on) it costs 2,144 dollars for one semester. I’m sure I’ll have a lot of fun paying that back once I’m done with school. I’m also looking into scholarships I might be eligible for.

As for my job…I really want to keep it, but I know for a fact that I won’t be able to even function if I’m working AND I have classes. School comes first so I think that I’ll have to let got of the job as soon as January comes around which sucks because I was hunting for a job for ages. At least in the meantime I’ll get some job experience out of it and I’ll be able to have an easier time getting a job in the summer. Or my mom suggested that I try and get jobs on the campus during the breaks.

I’m planning on getting my transcripts tomorrow. That’ll be my first step in getting into school again. I have mixed feelings. It’s scary, but at the same time I can’t wait. I’ve missed the learning that comes out of it. It sounds crazy, but I can’t wait until my brain starts hurting from working so hard or I can hardly keep my eyes because I’ve stayed up too late studying and reading. It’s a bizarre emotion. Of all things, I can’t wait to get my future started, and I just realized my tone in this blog post. If a mesh of words created a scent then these would be releasing an odor most cheesy.

First Day At Work

Ok, so McDonalds isn't exactly the most glam job in the history of the universe, but at this point, a job is a job. Besides, without a job there's no way I'd be able to get through school.

So today I worked the morning shift, which was pretty exciting, I guess. I think I only made a few total screw ups and I think my manager hates me because she was expecting me to get everything right and know how it all goes when it was literally my first day. You gotta give people a little bit of time to get into the swing of things. However, I guess I can understand where she comes from. The pace is pretty quick, which I like. It keeps you on your toes. I learned pretty much all there is to know from a guy named Jess. He was pretty cool, and he was tired like me so I think we got along ok. I was still a bit nervous so he didn't really see the whole real side of me. You know, the ditzy side that is extremely giggly. Granted, I did drop an entire box of spoons on my head this morning. However,I was lucky and the box wasn't open so I didn't have an insanely huge mess to clean up. I also learned how to make the smoothies and mocha drinks that I've heard are so good. It really isn't that hard. I was the drink girl this morning. It was actually really fun. I made coffee and smoothies and orange juice. I wanted to learn how to make hot chocolate, but another guy beat me to it. Ya know, I think I actually know who that guy was. I'm pretty sure we went to Junior High together. Anyway, I'm not sure. If I see him tomorrow morning then I'll be sure to ask him if he went to Canyon View. Oh the memories.

My uniform consists of a bright blue button down shirt, a baseball hat, and hideous black pants that were tailored for men. I know exactly what I'll be getting as soon as I get my first paycheck. My body isn't the best to begin with, but those pants...oh my they were terrible. And WAY too long for me. I had to roll up the bottom, but until i can get pants that actually fit me then I shall be using the wonderful technology of safety pins. I would never choose to wear my uniform on my own, but I'm getting paid so I won't complain. That and once I get good pants I can always just wear a tee shirt under my button up and just take it off before I go home. Or I can always change in the bathroom.

Anyway, that's pretty much what happened. If I had had the time to take pictures I would have, but I don't want everyone to see me in my uniform unless they're buying something. That way, at least I'll get paid. i really don't think I would dislike it so much if it weren't for the pants, but that can be fixed. Either way, I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Riddle Me This...???

Everyone gets bored, at least I really hope they do. If not then it's just me. Anyway, I suppose it's just an obnoxious outcome of life. One of many. Anyway, I tend to do rather imbecilic things when I'm bored, like making the vidoe I posted before this. Sometimes I play stupid games on the computer, other times I write, like now. I also play with my webcam, which always proves to be entertaining if I'm in one of my states. Lately, though, I've been lookin' at riddles and you do not have any idea how bad I am at them. Well, most of them. I know some of them right off the bat. Are you any good at riddles? Let's see.

If you have me you want to share me. If you share me you no longer have me. What am I?

I'm just going to let that torture your brain for a while and keep on rambling. If you wanna know the answer you'll just have to visit a search engine or keep reading my random thoughts. Or you can just figure it out for yourself. I shall hide it somewhere. Haha! I win. You're already reading my blog and if you don't already know the answer to the riddle then I'm sure you're wondering what it is.

You know what makes me feel really dumb? When you're thinking and thinking and thinking and thinking and thinking about what the answer to the blasted riddle is and it ends up being something so simple that a kid could have figured it out.

So I'm super excited for my life right now, selectivly at least. Granted, some people are irritating me, but as a whole humans are rather imbecilic so I'll have to get used to it. Other than that it's pretty gnarly. I FINALLY got a job after months and months of searching. Granted, it's a burger flipping job at McDonalds, but considering how crappy our economy is I'll take just about anything short of pimping, even though I would be an excellent pimp. By the way, the answer to the riddle is a secret. Anyway, now I have my own phone, for the first time in my life. However, they're gunna make me pay $50 for a uniform. I mean, if it was for something like Disneyland or something I think that would be more understandable, but McDonalds? Life if bizarre though so I suppose that I'll just have to keep my head up and bite the bullet, but I'm good at that so it shouldn't be that bad. Also, in October I'm going to see Motion City Soundtrack in concert with my buddy Monika. We also have a plan to possibly confuse her ex boyfriend. Hehehe. I've played the role of an L.A. business woman and now I'll be playing a lesbian to hopefully establish that she most definately wants nothing to do with him. Perhaps I should get an agent and start acting. Anyway, I can't think of anything else to say.

This is why I shouldn't be allowed to use a webcam. I'm doing dishes, then suddenly this happens. Enjoy.

You Might Be A Redneck With Batman

So one of my friends doesn’t believe that I’m a red neck deep deep DEEP down, but I am. Normally, this isn’t something you would brag about, but I’m just setting the record straight. If I’m not a redneck then at least I have proof that my boyfriend is a redneck thanks to a youtube video I found and one of the Jeff Foxworthy quotes in the universe. Now, If my boyfriend of any of his family members read this, don‘t take offense. I‘m a redneck too. My family owns a trailer, which is currently heaping with garbage. We have a massive tin full of aluminum that is supposed to be recycled, but we all know that no one is gunna move it. I say ya’ll all the time, not because I heard it all the time growing up, but because I can. I’m sure there’s more, but I currently can’t think of anything. So I’ll use this opportunity to share some of my favorite quotes from the Blue Collar boys.

If your house still has the WIDE LOAD sign on the back, you might be a redneck.

If you and your dog use the same tree, you might be a redneck.

If you have a complete set of salad bowls and they all say Cool Whip on the side, you might be a redneck.

If your working television sits on top of your non-working television, you might be a redneck.

You may be a redneck if you have spent more on your pickup truck than on your education.

My grandma, just re'nly passed away. Hundred and four years old. S'right, but they saved the baby.

Her horse got a broken leg and I had to shoot it. So now, it's got a broken leg and a gunshot wound. I don't know what you shoot it for. I guess it helps the healing process. If it ain't better tomorrow, I'm gunna shoot it again, I'll tell you that right now.


Well I just don’t feel like writing any others down, but that’s it. Therefore, I know everyone has at least a little bit of redneck in them. Some of us are just better at hiding it than others, like with being weird.

So my cousin’s kids just left from having a sleepover last night. It was pretty entertaining. We played Lego Batman. I think it’s kinda funny that they were confused that I wanted to play the villain part of the game because I personally prefer Catwoman to Batman. Don’t get me wrong, Batman is awesome, but the Batman villains are SO much cooler. If you don’t think that The Riddler is awesome then there’s something wrong with you. I’m excited to see Johnny Depp in that role, but at the same time, I’m not sure who I’ll like as the Riddler better. Johnny Depp is epic and probably my favorite actor, but Jim Carrey is just SO funny! I suppose I’ll just have to wait and see.

Babble Babble Babble

So I officially have my first follower. Woo hoo! Hi chicka. Love ya. Haha. So, to be frank, I’m bored and have a lot of time on my hands for now. It’s very exciting, and as I said, I made the blog to kill time so here it goes.

I know a lot of people who love Twilight with all their hearts and souls. I’ll admit, I used to love it, but after a while, I just realized how….bleh it is. Don’t get me wrong, I love vampires and werewolves, but Twilight has just killed it for me. That and the books are just…ugh, I can’t even explain it. A seven year old could read those books. Honestly, I think the Twilight books are a bad copy of the Sookie Stackhouse novels with a few tweaks. The exception is that the Sookie books don’t consist of pansy vampires. At least the True Blood Vampires are hard core and know how to drink blood without killing a person. That and the people who get hooked on Twilight get WAY too hooked.(for those of you who don’t know, True Blood vampires are the same as the Sookie Stackhouse vampires). My mom says I don’t like the Twilight stuff anymore because I’m not a romantic. This isn’t true. I’m very much a romantic, I just don’t know what happened to the good romances. Or the good horror monsters, like Dracula. He would roll in his coffin if saw what had become of his species.

Anyway, my cat is really lazy lately. If I bring my computer into the kitchen with me to do laundry or something so I can watch a movie or something then I can put it literally anywhere and he’s convinced that it’s his bed. He’ll jump onto whatever surface I have my computer on and just plop own on my keyboard. Perhaps it’s because it’s warm and he needs 19 hours of sleep a day, but it’s starting to get annoying. He’s really cute, but he has a knack for putting himself where he doesn’t belong. About a week ago he climbed into the cupboard when I was unloading the dishwasher. It was cute before I had to clean his fur out of the cupboard.

My mother lost her pins so right now she’s stealing my voodoo bird. I don’t actually practice voodoo, but my pin cushion that my great aunt gave to me for my graduation looks like a stuffed animal blue bird, so I call it my voodoo bird.

I don’t know how my mom doesn’t get burned out with sewing. I’ve helped her make two baby quilts and I’m already fed up with it. She’s still going at it! Granted, I know that we have three(yeah that’s right three) baby showers we have to go next week, one of which we’re in charge of, but wouldn’t you think it would be a better idea to do all of the blankets and everything in moderation instead of waiting until last minute and just pulling it all out? Oh well. I’m not a huge fan of baby showers so maybe if I’m lucky I’ll have to work when one of them takes place. That sounds terrible, but I don’t really care. With my mom’s mouth a baby shower is never one of those things where you’re there for half an hour and you head out. No, it’s an all day affair.

So I’m thinking about starting to put videos of me rambling on here as soon as I get more followers. I’ve discovered how I can do that. It’s fun to play with a webcam. Mine does this thing there it makes it look like you’re breathing fire. It’s probably not all that amazing and a bunch of other webcams probably have it, but I found it a little while ago and I think it’s awesome.

I really need to fold laundry, which sucks because my job has been the kitchen since I was 16 so I would rather just finish my chore and say I don’t have to do anything else, but I can’t pull something like that until I’m actually working and paying rent. I’m gunna go and mop instead. Maybe stretch if I have the time. Depending on if I get bored I might write something else tomorrow, but I’m done for today.

Is Anybody Out There?

So this is my blog. Pretty great, isn't it? Well, i guess not, but you can't have everything. I suppose it's about time that I have a blog that I won't forget about. That and I'm sort of bored. I just finished helping my mother tie a baby quilt for my older sister, who's ready to pop in a little bit. I would think she'd be sick of pregnant daughters having daughters, considering the fact that she recently returned home from helping my other sister with her new baby girl, but it seems like the only thing wearing on her nerves is having so many projects to complete. That and the mess that the house is. Now, I may have been home alone for about a week recently, but by some miracle, the house was clean before she came here and now it looks like a tornardo decided to go crazy on it. Considering that I spent at least 9 hours cleaning for her arrival, no one is more irritated by this than I am.

So if anyone decides to follow this that's one of my facebook friends then don't be confused that I have a blog and a facebook. Granted, I still go on facebook all the time, but facebook isn't a blog. Facebook is a social network that serves as an excuse to play Zanga games while you wait for your friends and relatives to get on the computer and reply to you or look at your status. Don't get me wrong, I like facebook, but whatever happened to sending out actual invitations to big events or just calling someone if you need to talk to them about something important?

Anyway, I'm currently dating a guy. He's kinda dumb but he's sweet(most of the time). I'll soon be starting my first actual job next week. I'm pretty excited. If you want a burger then you can come and buy one from me to support my paycheck. I won't mind at all. However, I may ignore you considering that I'd be working.

Anyway, I guess I should finish this up because my mother wants me to start pinning another quilt(the thrid one of the night. ugh.) I better finish this up.
