I Loveded You, Piggy! I Loveded You!
Wow...haven't written in here for a long time. A lot's happened since February. First and foremost, Lady M is up and running. Yes friends, my car is working. June 17 was the date of her rebirth. Oh, it feels so good, even almost 2 months later. The freedom of having a car...it's soooooo good.

What else? My sister graduated from college in May. She's leaving for grad school (Northwestern of all places--how cool is that?) in mid September. I'm proud of her, even though she's taken over my room at home. It still irritates me. Probably more than it should. But...I've been in that room since I was 13. Ten years. That's a large chunk of my life considering I'm only 23. Only 23. 23 going on 50 is what it feels like.

I moved in June. Big townhouse. And cheaper rent than my other place. T'is nice. Well, except for all the drama. *sighs* Long story. But my room is turning out to be pretty pimp. I have a lovely red and white/French theme going on. Alaina is a genius. I love my Linens'N'Things buddy. The best thing about my new place, you ask? I live right next door to Walmart, Target, and Best Buy. It's like my wettest wet dream come to life.

Maya is getting married in about 2 weeks. Geez, it's hard to believe. It's also hard to believe I've only known her for about a year. It feels like a lot longer than that, but at the same time hard to believe that it's already been a year. Where has the time gone? As she pointed out today, only 4 months til Christmas. Yikes. Though, I have to admit that I'm excited about the cold weather. My car probably isn't, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Man, do I need to clean my room. I keep trying, but it doesn't seem to work. It's not excessively messy, but it's not really clean, either. I need an actual bookshelf. My books are lined up 3 deep on this little two-shelf TV cart that I nabbed. What's insane is that most of the books that I have on that cart are books I've bought within the last year (god, I love McKay's).

Speaking of books, I went on a reading binge recently. 4 books in under 2 weeks. Considering that I spend a good amount of time at work, playing with my friends, watching movies, or sleeping, it's actually quite impressive. I think what started it was that I'd been at McKay's that day and when I got home from work, I realized I'd bought a lot of books which I hadn't read, so why was I buying them? So, instead of watching tv or whatever, I sat down and started reading "Star Craving Mad." And finished it that night. Then I read the "Confessions Of A Shopaholic" trilogy (great books) in very little time. I didn't want to put them down. God, I sound like a PSA. But, hey...I love to read. And others should enjoy it as well.

So, in case anyone was wondering, yes, I'm still obsessed with Julie Andrews. I've acquired several more of her movies--"Star," "One Special Night," (holla to that one because it was TOUGH to track down) and "Princess Diaries." And yes, I saw "Princess Diaries II" last night/opening night, and yes, I cried when she sang and I'm not at all ashamed to admit it. It made me happy.

Oh, while I'm thinking about it, on St. Patty's Day, I went to Kegs'n'Eggs with Maya and David--had VIP passes (it pays to be friends with someone in a band), drank Guiness at 10 in the morning, good times. I'm mentioning it because I'm listening to "The Reason" by Hoobastank right now, and I saw them perform at Kegs'n'Eggs. It was so cool. Maya and I have claimed "The Reason" as our song. Other people have tried to lay claim to it, but they don't know how it works. We saw them perform it...it's ours. Ha. Others can like it, but they can't have it. And yes, I know I'm strange.

I want to give a shout out to C-Dawg for the righteous birthday present...she got me a Macbeth tartan from Scotland. I love this girl--she rocks my world.

So, I'm still obsessed with buying movies. I counted it up the other day, and I think I've bought somewhere in the ballpark of 60 movies in the past year. I'm crazy. However, I do always look for good deals. I get a lot of them when they first come out and are cheap, or when they're on sale for $10, or when they're in the cheap bin at Walmart, or at Blockbuster. I mean, I bought "Something's Gotta Give" and "As Good As It Gets" the week "Something" came out for a combined total of $20. I rock. Maybe I should ease up on it. I mean, I have this cool X-shaped tower for my DVDs (Jessy bought it last August and I didn't have enough DVDs to fill it, and she gave it to me when we were moving out), and when I was moving into my new place, Alaina alphabetized them and such, and even with my TV DVD sets, the thing wasn't full. This is at the end of June. It is now the beginning of August and I don't have enough space. I'm a sick, sick person.

Well, I get to wear a Hawaiian shirt at work all weekend. One of Friday's lovely ideas. Wear Hawaiian shirts while we're trying to sell our new "extreme" Tex-Mex type items. And wear these bright shirts with black pants. Because that looks awesome. If we're going to do something like that, can't we actually have fun with it? Like, at least wear jeans or khakis or something? Sheesh.

I was rereading my old entries, and I came across the one I wrote when I first started shiftleading. I was so excited about it. Yeah. Then I changed my availability to only nights. Apparently, that meant only night shiftleads or stays. Because that's all I seem to day. At times, I long for the days when I was an otle every time I worked. I wasn't making a lot of money, but the extra time I had was crazy. It's why I'm constantly switching my shiftleads to otles. I'll get over it, I guess. I just wanted to give up shifts while I could--we had so many people working this summer that wanted shifts, so it was easy. And since about 20 people are leaving the end of this month and beginning of next month, I won't have the chance anymore. I need to work, though. I still need to buy my sister's birthday present and get Maya a wedding present. Among other things I need to pay for.

Wow...I've talked a lot, and now my Nyquil pills are really kicking in and I'm not typing well and am probably babbling. So, I'll end this for now, and maybe I'll write again in the near future. No promises, though.

Skeet.

To Where You Are...
I'm listening to "To Where You Are" by Josh Groban right now. I'm being a dumb little girl, I guess. But I really miss my mommy. I want so very much to go see her. It would make me so happy. I have 3 days off from work, so I'd be able to spend some time with her, but the problem is that I still don't have a car. I'm so tired of being the pathetic loser that has to bum rides everywhere. I really hate being that person, too. I just can't afford a car. I don't have the money for a down payment, no matter how hard I work. There's always something else to pay for. Rent, phone, cell phone, cable, electricity, water, gas, college loans. The last thing I need to do is take out another loan...not that I'm sure anyone would actually even give me a loan at this point since my credit is so screwed. It's just really not fair--I don't care if no one said life was fair or whatever. I'm getting hard-core ass-fucked. Honestly, I'm doing the best I can. I'm applying for second jobs, but I can't make someone hire me. I changed my availibility at work so that I only work nights now because it's better money. But I just can't get far enough ahead to actually save anything. I really don't think I spend a whole lot of money. I went to Target a few days ago and did some shopping, but it was for things I actually needed, not just stuff I wanted. I'd say underwear is something worth spending money on, you know?

I just want to see my mom. Just for a day or two. I've done such a complete about-face regarding her, too. A few years ago, I didn't care if I saw her or not, and now I miss her so much it kinda hurts. But she's my mommy. I love her. I've gotta stop this--I'm getting too emotional. I'm gonna try another type of writing...and I need to stop listening to this damn song over and over again.

hmm
Found this interesting little test at OK Cupid...very interesting indeed.


The Wild Rose
Random Brutal Love Dreamer (RBLDf)


Colorful, but unpicked. You are The Wild Rose.

Prone to bouts of cynicism, sarcasm, and thorns, you excite a certain kind of man. Hoping to gather you up, he flirts and winks and asks you out, ultimately professing his love. Then you make him bleed. Why? Because you're the rare, independent, self-sufficient kind of woman who does want love, but not from a weakling.

You don't seem to take yourself too seriously, and that's refreshing. You aren't uptight; you don't over-plan. Romance-wise, sex isn't a top priority--a true relationship would be preferable. For your age, you haven't had a lot of bonafide love experience, though, and this kind of gets to core of the issue. You're very selective.

The problem is them, not you, right? You have lofty standards that few measure up to. You're out there all right, but not to be picked up by just anyone.


"You're never truly single as long as you have yourself."

ALWAYS AVOID: The Bachelor

CONSIDER: The Vapor Trail.

I like the way you move...
That really has nothing to do with anything, except that it's the song I'm listening to right now.

I've discovered that my patience is running very thin lately, and I'm not entirely sure why. I mean, I'm not being snappish or anything (at least, I don't think so), but my desire to be around some people has decreased. And it's mainly people who are younger than me. Not, like, a year younger, but a few years. I know...doesn't seem like much of an age difference, but it can be a big gap at times. When you think about, the gap between someone who's 13 and someone who's 17 is huge, even though it's a matter of 4 years. But think about how your viewpoint changes from 8th grade to your senior year in college. You change a lot in those 4 years. Truthfully, the age gap between a 17 year old high school senior and an 18 year old college freshman can be pretty big, too. With just those first few weeks of college, high school seems so far away and different, and petty. So, it's logical to say that the age gap between 18 or 19 and 22 can be pretty big. Those 4 years of college can and will change you in ways you wouldn't imagine, and, hopefully, make you grow up. So it makes sense to say someone who is 18 or 19 isn't as "grown up" as someone who is 22 or 23, you know? I'm not going to say that I'm grown up or adult or something, but I'm more grown up than I was at 18. *sigh* I don't know. I have a couple of friends who are about 4 years younger than me. And though I love them, especially my Squishy, I can't take them sometimes. I'm not going to say that they haven't had hard lives, because it seems like at times they have, so I'm also not going to say that I have some sort of upper hand on that thing, but...well, even my friends who are my age (as in, 1 and 2 days younger than me) kind of feel the same way. I don't know...I think part of it may be the whole college thing. Out of the three 22 year olds, two of us are done with college, and 1 is still in the process of taking classes. Our two younger friends haven't done college. They each tried for about a semester, both going to community colleges instead of going away to college, and then quit. Neither have interest in going back. Not that there's anything wrong with not being interested in college--it happens to a lot of people. But at the same time, it changes your perspective on things. At least, the moving away thing does. Oddly enough, I don't feel like that about all "youngins"...there's another girl I work with who's only 18; she didn't graduate hs, but got her GED, and is now going to college, but I never think of her as someone younger than me. She's honestly gone through some harsh shit in her life, and made her grow up pretty quickly. I'm not making much sense.

There's a couple of other people who are wearing thin on my patience. Again, it's not as if I want to blow up at them and tell them to shut up or whatever, but I just don't know if I want to bother spending my time on them. Not if I'm going to be excluded from conversations constantly, while we're using my phone to 3-way. I mean, if I have to hear about soccer AGAIN, I may beat them with a soccer ball. I understand that they both love the sport, and that's cool, but talk about it on your own time. Don't get me involved in it. I've got other things I can do with my time. And they've told me that if I feel left out (which shouldn't happen anyway), to just interrupt and interject into the conversation or whatever. Yeah, tried that. Last time I talked to them (last Thursday), I kept breaking in and talking about other things, and they kept going back to soccer. Again, fine, if it's on your own time. But if it's the 3 of us talking, and 1 of us can't contribute to the conversation, then it shouldn't be a topic of conversation. I realize that it can't be 3-way all the time, but when more often than not, it's the two of them talking, it gets old. Like I said, do it on your own time. I guess I'll explain it to them next time I talk to them, whether on the phone or online. Having Thursday night buddies was nice for a while, but if it's going to turn into a World Cup discussion everytime, then...peace out. I've got stuff to do.

Urg. I'm getting frustrated. You know, it would be just as easy for me to actually write in my IRL journal, which I've been neglecting since August. *shrugs* Oh well...actual writing makes my hand tired.



Total eclipse of the heart...

Sugar Sugar how you get so fly?
...the song I'm currently into. Songs usually wind up being the title for most of my works. Again, saw this on Krissy's journal, and had to share.

Top Ten Signs You're a Christian

10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were
created from dirt.

8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!

6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."


3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.

2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.


Oh, but it's so very true.

Don't have much to say at the moment. It's almost 4am, and I intended to be in bed earlier than this, but since I suck...I'm sick yet again. It wasn't that long ago that I was sick to begin with. It's pretty annoying.

Work's been...slow. Ever since my impromptu five day break, it's been dead as hell. We never even got a pop last night. I had a total of 20 tables from 5pm until 2am. That's pathetic. Well, technically it was til 1am, but still. And I was shiftleading. All things considered, I didn't do too badly, tips-wise. Coulda been much worse. Tonight was dead, too. I was very grateful that someone wanted to pick up my shiftlead because I would have killed myself out of boredom if I'd have been there all night. Instead, Maya and I got out early, and wound up going to Silver Diner with David for a while. It didn't even feel like we had worked because it was so damn dead. Oh, but listen to this amusing little story. So, not only is it state policy but it's also store policy that we card everyone who orders alcohol. It's not meant to be an insult, it's to cover our own asses. If someone from the ABC or a police officer randomly starts carding people and someone doesn't have their ID, the server and manager on duty are automatically fired, fined, serve jail time, and can't work anywhere that serves liquor for at least a year, and that store loses their liquor license. Hell, if a secret shopper catches us not IDing them, that gets us fired, too. So, I had this older couple and what I'm presuming was their daughter sit in my section tonight. The couple orders a couple of drinks, and I ask to see that they have their IDs on them, and the younger woman says not to do that, it's an insult, and some other restaurant had tried to do that to them and they haven't been back since. Regardless, I said I still had to see their IDs, it was policy, blah blah blah, and the older couple says it's an insult and they're leaving and never coming back. No skin off my ass, but good god. Why is it such a big deal to show your ID? How is it an insult? I wasn't trying to say that they looked underage (and if I was, again, how is it an insult?), I just said that I needed to see that they had their IDs on them. It's not that hard. If it's happened at more than one place, wouldn't you start to realize that's something that has to be done? I'm sorry, but I'm not losing my job or going to jail because someone doesn't want to let me see their ID. Of course, they storm off, but tell the hostess that they want to see a manager. What did they think they were going to accomplish? Get me fired for doing my job? Tell them I was an awful server for checking IDs? Did they think I was lying about it being policy? Sheesh. Because there's really a reason to lie about that sort of thing. There was nothing that manager could do about it--I was doing what I was supposed to be doing. You can talk to the manager all you want, but it's not going to change the rules. We don't need people like that in the restaurant anyway. If they can't understand that I'm just doing my job, then fuck 'em.

Anyway, that's it for now. Holla.

at random
I saw this, too, over at Krissy's journal, so I thought I'd do it. You just use one of your media players, play all audio files (at random, I think), and see which the first ten are. This one isn't all my audio files, just the ones in one of my larger folders. Since I'm dumb, I'll probably do this again with different files.

1. Shake Ya Tail Feather--Nelly, P.Diddy, Murphy Lee
2. Bring Me To Life--Evanescence
3. So Complicated--Carolyn Dawn Johnson
4. Oh Very Young--Cat Stevens
5. Debaser--The Pixies
6. The Promise--Tracy Chapman

10. Dig For Fire--The Pixies


Yikes....a lot of Pixie songs...I'm gonna try it again and see what happens.


1. Number Six Driver--Eddie From Ohio
2. The Lobby Scene (Matrix)--Moby
3. Don't Touch Me--Brak
3a. So Complicated--Carolyn Dawn Johnson (since I don't think that Brak one actually counts)
4. Morning Hymn and Alleluia--The Sound Of Music
5. Wonderland (live accoustic)--John Mayer
6. Travelin Soldier--Dixie Chicks
7. Dig For Fire--Pixies
8. Blood Sugar Sex Magic--Red Hot Chili Peppers
9. One Thousand Sarahs--Eddie From Ohio
10. Under Pressure--David Bowie with Queen


With over 100 songs in this one file, what are the odds that I would have two doubles? Anyway, I'm gonna try it with all the music on my computer...I don't know if it'll work. And I'm not going to count sound clips. That's a horse of a different color.


1. Big Yellow Taxi--Counting Crows
2. Adrienne--The Calling
3. Devoted To You--Carly Simon and James Taylor
4. Happiness Hotel--The Muppets
5. Get Low--Lil Jon and Eastside Boys
6. Why Do Fools Fall In Love--Frankie and The Teenagers
7. Great Day--Eddie From Ohio
8. So Complicated--Carolyn Dawn Johnson
9. Hang Wire--The Pixies
10. Man In Motion--John Parr

Ok...over 5000 files, and all but one song was from my kazaa file. And So Complicated 3 times? Weird. I'm going to try it again, but not start over...just see what the next ten are. And yes, I am bored.

11. A Few Of My Favorite Things--The Sound Of Music

Randomness
I found this on Krissy's online journal, and since I'm bored, I decided to take a shot at it. Here goes.



1. What did you do in 2003 that you'd never done before?
Graduate from college and move out on my own.


2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I haven't made resolutions in a long time.

Yes. Brother and sister-in-law gave me a newphew, Jonathon Robert :)


4. Did anyone close to you die?
Not that I'm aware of.

5. What countries did you visit?
Istanbul (not Constantinople). Huh, huh?...okay, no one gets it. I have visited no other countries, but since I live in the DC area, it's like other countries are visiting me.

6. What would you like to have in 2004 that you lacked in 2003?
A working car, financial security.

7. What date from 2003 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
May 3, 'cause that's when I graduated college, August 10, 'cause that's the day I moved out into the world, August 11, 'cause that's the day my dad moved out, and August 30, 'cause that's the day I found out our dog, Chong, had died.

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
I know I keep saying it, but probably moving out on my own and starting to learn how to take care of myself.

9. What was your biggest failure?
Hardcore over-drawing from my bank account (and I do mean hardcore), and not being able to get the damn car fixed.

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Eh. Not really. A couple of colds/sinus attacks...pretty typical.

11. What was the best thing you bought?
This will sound really geeky, but probably Victor/Victoria on DVD, and my rockin' Sound of Music 2 disc DVD.

12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Umm...probably my mom for being able to handle everything that life has thrown at her lately.

13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Our freakin' president...I won't get into it.

14. Where did most of your money go?
Sadly, most of it went to bills. But the rest of it has gone toward purchasing more movies (I'm a movie whore).

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
ER, discovering Harry Potter, becoming an aunt, and two of my friends taking a road trip with me to see my mom.

16. What song will always remind you of 2003?
Hmmmm...that's a tough one. Probably Where's The Love by Black Eyed Peas, and Hey Ya by Outkast.

18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Spent more time with my mom and my sister, more acting and theatre in general.

19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Waiting tables (though it's been kinda fun). I don't know, I can't really think of any big regrets right now.

20. How did you spend Christmas?
Yeah, I worked. I couldn't get home (even if my schedule hadn't been bullshit, I still didn't have a working car), so I picked up some extra shifts at work. So, I spent xmas with my Nova family.

22. Did you fall in love in 2003?
No, and thank god.

ER.

25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
Nah...I don't think so. There are some people that I'm not so fond of, but I didn't know them at this time last year. Does that count?

26. What was the best book you read?
Grr...tough question. Watchers by Dean Koontz, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and definitely The Other Boleyn Girl by Phillipa Gregory.

Again, another geeky answer, but it's the truth. I discovered that not only can Julie Andrews sing, but godDAMN can that woman sing!

A job.

29.What did you want and not get?
A new car (and by new car, I mean new to me).

Victor/Victoria, The Sound Of Music (yes, it's been a favorite for years, but I watched it about a billion times in 2003), Matrix Reloaded, Finding Nemo, and probably Freaky Friday.

31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I worked. I worked, lost money (and therefore lost tips), a girl I worked with took me to a bar, got drunk, hit on me and got us thrown out of the bar, so yay. I turned 22.

32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
The death of Kem.

33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2003?
Black pants, black shoes, black polo shirt with red and white stripes around the collar and arms...damn the work uniform. Other than that, jeans, flipflops, t-shirts, tanktops, hoodies...the usual, but it's comfy.

34. What kept you sane?
My newfound friends, and my favorite, faithful movies.

35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Fancy in which way? Fancy as in you think they totally rock and would just like to meet them, or fancy as in "I wanna fuck you like an animal"? The first one, Julie Andrews and Maura Tierney. The second one...Noah Wyle.

36. What political issue stirred you the most?
The whole thing about banning partial-birth abortions. I may not agree with it personally, but it's a step in a direction we don't need to be going in, and no one (especially a man who can't give birth, etc) can tell what I can or can't do with my body.

37. Who did you miss?
My summer-time drinking buddy, Jenny. And my friend Donna, who I haven't talked to in over a year and a half, and haven't seen in over 2 years.

38. Who was the best new person you met?
It's a tie...Stephanie, Joanna, Maya, Diana, Kath, Dano (and a lot of the Friday's crew).

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2003.
Expect the unexpected and you'll never be surprised.
Never think that there's something in your life that's concrete, because it probably isn't.

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
"Crazy world, everyday the same old rollercoaster ride...but I've got my pride, I won't give in, even though I know I'll never win. Oh, how I love this crazy world." --Julie Andrews in "Victor/Victoria."



There you go...enjoy that little glimpse into my life. And welcome, 2004...may you be as interesting as your predescessor.

I'm not sure which one's better...I'm Kate, and I'm Lady M. Either way, it totally rocks. Anyway, I found these in some of my files, and I figured I should post them (I don't know why I saved them, but that's neither here nor there). Enjoy my greatness.

Hey Ya
I love "Hey Ya." It's such a freaking fun song! Right now, the music of choice is "Beware of the Boys" by Panjabi MC. I think the main reason I like it (aside from it sounding really really cool), is that I heard it on ER. Yes, I'm sad, but a lot of the music that I have on my computer that I really like is from ER. What can I say? They have a great soundtrack.

So, it's 7pm on a Sunday night, and I'm actually not at work! This is new for me, at least lately. I clocked out today at almost 54 hours. I still have a night shift tomorrow, too, which will put me around 62 hours in one week. Next week shouldn't be as hellacious. Well, unless I wind up picking up some more shifts. I don't have a day off until a week from today. Ain't that some shit? (btw, music is now "I'm Still Here" by Vertical Horizon) I mean, yeah, I picked up 4 of those shifts, but they needed help. And because of my damn work ethic, I can't leave them hanging like that. The result, you ask? I'm one pooped pup. I couldn't even get home for xmas. That was kind of harsh. I had xmas day off, but I had to shiftlead the morning of xmas eve, then shiftlead the morning after xmas, so even if I had a working car, it would have been pointless going home anyway. 4 hours to get there, then 4 to get back, not including holiday traffic. ("Take Me Away" from Freaky Friday) So, I worked a double on Tuesday, then on Wednesday, then picked up a shift on xmas, then shiftled on Friday, shiftled and otle'd on Saturday, then worked the stay section today. And I'm a closer tomorrow. What's even better is that I'm shiftleading New Year's Eve, then shiftleading New Year's Morning. Leave at 2am, then have to be in at 10am. That's some shit. Granted, I'm doing the Eve sl as a favor to Kath (one of the managers), since one of the guys who was supposed to be shiftleading that night got his ass fired. And then when Donna was writing the schedule this week, she was going to put me as a double on New Year's Eve, but then I wouldn't be closing, and I said to do whatever, but then Danielle (another manager) pretty much told Donna I had to close that night, mainly because Danielle's closing that night, and for whatever reason she wants me there. I don't know--I guess it's because I'm a hardworker, and she knows I'll bust my ass for her if she needs me to. That, and whenever she's needed shifts picked up or whatever, I've been there for her. Even the shift I picked up last night, when I was tired as balls. That was kind of amusing at the shift meeting on Saturday morning. Another one of the managers, Paul, was saying how just about everyone but the shiftleaders were doubles that day, and I raised my hand and was like, "No, no. I'm now a double." He just looked at me for a second and said, "I thought I told you not to pick up that shift." Well, they needed the help. I got out pretty early, too, so it was okay. I know it's weird, but I really like it at Friday's. I don't plan on making a career out of it, but I like it there.

Anyway, I just felt like writing for a bit. I'm gonna go shower and stuff, then maybe do another form of writing, if I can become inspired.
