Hey hey. I forgot to mention something really funny the last time I updated. When Lar, Jen, and I ate at Sharis..the girl brought my breakfast plate up and dropped this big, ooey pat of butter on the floor. She went back to get me some more, before I told her it wasn't necessary. So we sat and ate, all the while, the butter just sat there intermingling with the carpet's fibers.

Well, Lar got it in his head that he wanted to slip and fall on it, feign injury and maybe get his food for free...since he didn't like the wrap he got (duh, wrap..hello). Okay, all the begging and threatening ("I swear to GOD.") didn't deter him.

He got up...stepped smack on the butter and then fell. Jen and I burst out laughing and he continued to roll on the floor, moaning in mock pain. He laid there for a couple minutes and NOTHING. That's the freaky part. NO ONE came by. But then again, if you heard howling laughter and then caught sight of this guy rolling on the floor, you'd prolly think it was some joke.

So he finally got up, dusted himself off and sat there. The girl eventually came by with our check and I told her that he 'slipped and fell on that butter.' He said that he injured his elbow a bit. She felt really bad and apologized a lot and also came by with a cloth to clean up his shoe....but of course it was all caked in there, so I went to the restroom to rinse it off.

How retarded..he can be so retarded! But it was so damned funny. That's what I forgot to tell you all last week.

That following Sunday we didn't go back up to Lynnwood to do the car stuff. I was feeling lazy and didn't want to deal with that just before classes. :)

We did go and get omlettes at Patti's...she's one crazy lady. You know the kind who calls everyone "hun, dollface, babycakes, darling." I just think it's nice. :) We went to the grocery store to get some supplies for the boy..he couldn't find his credit card and I totally forgot about it, so I thought I left it at home when we placed an order thru Half.com again. So he yelled at me, like he did the last time we went there, and we left.

When we got to the car I realized that HE PAID for the food, so he DID have his card...jerk! I told him so and he apologized...beeeyatch! Then we picked up his shoes and went home.

This last week was the first week of school. We both start at 9.30am on Mondays but we didn't leave together since he didn't have his shit together. So I had a 2hr class with a prof I had last spring, whom I didn't like. There is a guy I had another CMU class with here too, but he didn't sit by me. *pout*

I had a 2hr break til the next class, so I met up with Annie and Dawn (& her bebe) at Little Thai. We ate and then I went to the computer lab..for..TA DA! More pictures! And let me tell YOU...Fortune City can go to HELL. Yes, HELL! The bitches there decided to be exclusive and so now you cannot link their pages to another homepage server! So all the pics I uploaded there, primarily my LA stuff, is useless! So I had to view/save and then upload everything onto Yahoo!Geocities.

I had my last 2hr class of the day with Sandy and Wilson. And it was boring. The teacher actually took role and butchered my name of course. Afterwards, the three of us hung out til 4.30 at Wilson's.

Tuesday I had a late start, and it was even later in that...Well, I wasn't even signed up for the class: Psych stats. The teacher said that there was a good chance that everyone could get in, so I was relieved. But he actually lectured for the full 2hrs..and it was about PANTS. Don't get me started....

Wednesday was more of the same Monday and I had lunch with Annie, Wilson, and Jim. That was pretty cool. Afterwards, I stopped off at Mary Gates to pick up a job application.

Thursday I finally got into my psych stats class. All but four made it in. I almost felt bad for them, but I bet they were only sophomores so they still have time! :P No sympathy. I still need to buy my book for this class...Seventy bucks...

Friday I started at 10.30 instead. It was section day. I had to cancel a job interview I had in Health Sciences cuz it conflicted with one of my classes. Anyways, the first section was CMU and it was lame and boring. But I was highly impressed the TA said my name correctly! Class is bad though, I can already tell. Section for stats was only one hour (the other hour is for questions if you have) so I didn't have to cancel my interview. ARGH! But I did go and drop off my Mary Gates application.

I was walking home and this guy...who came into the office over the summer, TWICE, asking for work and TWICE I shredded his info...he was walking towards me and goes: I have your job now! I was like: What? He said it again and I was like: Good for you.

I mean, come on. Do I care? I only shredded his info in protest and the second time because he was a dumbass. I LEFT that job, baby. They didn't leave me. I couldn't care less. :P

Checked my messages, I had an interview at 4pm with someone...and guess that, they are in the SW department. How nice. I just get sucked back in ya know. Well, I called back and said it was cool and I'd see her at 4pm.

I watched my soaps and tried to read but it just didn't work. I got there early so I said HI to a few people in the office. It was okay. I decided that I would keep my barbell in since it was obviously a STUDENT job. They expect weird shit like this from us. When I had worked over here during the summer, it was different since it was full-time and MY REAL job for that time. I had to maintain some professionalism, but not during the school year. Bwuahahahaha. The regular desk girl noticed my tongue of course so we talked about that. She had a drastic haircut. It's different. But okay I guess. I told her about that guy who caught me on the street and she responded to his words by saying: A lot of people have your job now.

Yes, a lot of people. He's sharing MY position with about 6 other people. What kind of pride can you have with that? OMG. What a dork.

The interview was with this older woman. I could tell she was the kind who didn't approve of the 'wild lifestyle.' Not to say that mine is in the extremes or anything, but it's not your goody-two-shoes kind of life.

It went well. I did come unprepared. In my whole "It's a student job, I'm gonna BE a student" mindset I mistakenly came without anything. Not even a PEN. Jesus. Well, whatever. I could tell she liked me..she even said so. She really liked that I had worked in the department before. So I'd say I am the frontrunner. But I did tell her that I was still shopping around for work and I'd keep her posted on what I was doing.

I came home and Lar got ready to head off to work. I went online, supposedly to update, but I got caught up talking with Wilson and Sandy. It was nice.

Lar came back after 9pm and we went out. I wore my new black pants and a purple top and it was a nice outfit. I had been waiting and looking for the right kind of black pants and I finally have them! Weee!

So we ended up going north to Lynnwood, we ate at The Rock...this kind of pizza place/sportsbar. We ordered some hot wings as appetizers and calzones which came with salad. The funny thing is, they had some 'fancy' dressing called...parmesian peppercorn dressing. You know what it really is? Ranch. Just plain, freakin' ranch. What's the deal with the name? *L*

The wings came by and I just about died, they were so hot. And you know me, I like my spicy. But this was just too much, plus my lip has been doing this weird thing on me, so my mouth was literally on-fire. I was not happy. I poked at my calzone which had alfredo-type sauce in it and then we went home.

We were supposed to go grocery-shopping and movie-renting but my stomach was not up to it. So we laid in bed in the spare room just talking about shit and eventually Lar got up to rent some movies on his own. I sat up and watched TV.

As for today, I woke up late. I would have liked to wake up even later but he was busy hollering at the game. So. I got up and ate the rest of my calzone and then went online to look for my books. I refuse to believe that this is the best possible price for my books. I refuse to pay $70 for one book and only get $20 at the buyback. I just can't do that to myself.

Unfortunately, Lar was expecting a phone call at half time so I had to go. I was reading my last issue of Cosmo and then finally demanded he spend some time with me, so he did. :)

Later at night, we headed down south. First to Target..where we GOT THE PHONE. I'm soooo happy about this phone, if I can find a picture of it online, I'll link it. It's soooooo cute. But we saw this girl I went to grade school with. She was with HER boyfriend. We both exchanged surprised HI's and then went about doing our own thing.

Went to the mall and bought a generic expansion pack for N64. Lar got Perfect Dark in the mail the other day, off Half.com but you can't do jack without the pack, so for the past few days he's been doing the boring shit. Now, we're doing the cool stuff. :D

I was hungry..so where'd we go? You guessed it: Claim Jumper. It was yummy..Yummy yummy yummy. Honey chicken Brie...Yummy. I took the little bowl of dressing with me. *heh* It was weird, usually they pack your food FOR you, but the girl just gave us the box. Ah well..whenever they did pack up our food, they always forgot the FRIES. What the hell was with that.

So now we're home, Lar's accomplishing this-or-that missions and I'm working on finishing this update. I was also hoping that my newly scanned pics would be ready for viewing but for some fucking reason they are not working properly. I'll still link, since it's just the LA pics and then the last it just one single picture...So, we'll see. Whatever...all the shit I went thru with FortuneCity and I'm still screwed...

Anyways, the entertainment center guy ended up contacting ME and asking if I was still interested, because he would offer me a discount. So now we're at $30, instead of $40 and I bet HE feels stupid since he could have had it at $40 if he wasn't such a retard. But he is nice in that he offered to bring it to me if I can't take it with me tomorrow.

Thankfully I don't have to take my sister to the airport at 4am tomorrow morning. I think I do have to take her back when she comes.

Tomorrow we ARE going to Circuit City to do Lar's car stuff. I'll take B's car and drive it up there. I feel more secure and comfortable doing so cuz it's, like, MY car. I'm still not used to his old car. The apartment needs to be cleaned yet AGAIN and then I really really really really really have to start reading since one class actually requires a reading journal which will be collected at random times! ACK.
