It was never my intention to brag, to steal it all away from you now. But God does it feel so good.
this entry is completely random and i switch topics frequently without warning. sorry!
today is my half birthday. not that it really means much, but still... yay. six months to go!
i bought a halloween costume that is massively expensive and now i'm broke. the good news is the massively expensive halloween costume looks really good on me. which is rather shocking. i dont know exactly what to say i am though... the costume is called "gothic vampiress" but not only is that NOT what i am going to be for halloween, but thats not really how i'd describe the costume. Gothic maybe... as in old time gothic, not like all-black-all-the-time goth, but vampress? no. It's more like a gothic renaissance-y type dress. i like it. it's pretty. i feel all regal when i wear it.
i bought it with Oldest Friend. She dyed her hair from the black-red combo it was for six months, to honey blonde. its really lovely on her. She bought this really awesome costume that i wish looked good on me. The costume is called Senorita, and it's like a cha-cha dress... thats the best way i can describe it. anyway, she looks HOT. Hers was just as expensive as mine. I'm still getting over the fact that it's really expensive if you haven't noticed. I hate dropping so much money on one thing.
Whenever Produce Guy and I work, i wave at him, and he waves back, and ive done it enough times now that... well... the last time he worked, he waved at me first. i didn't even notice that he was there yet. It made my heart skip like five beats. which is a lot.
Last time he worked, he also started talking to me first instead of the usual me prompting the conversation. so, my heart skipped more beats. At one point even, i was walking back to the cardboard compactor, and he was behind me and actually called for me to wait up for him as we walked there together. My heart melted. Unfortunately someone cut us off, and asked him to do something for them. When i was done taking the boxes back, he was still busy, so i left not wanting to look really stupid for standing there for no reason. So, i felt bad because it was the end of my shift, so i was going to leave like, literally a minute later. So i put my apron in the laundry pile, and walked out and said bye to The Cake Decorator, and behind me i hear "Bye Alisa." I turn around and it's Produce Guy. MELT. (i, of course, said bye back... but my heart was melting as i was doing this.)
that was like a week or so ago. i haven't worked with him since.
Oldest Friend cannot stop talking about the guy she likes at work. it reminds me of Produce Guy... well, it reminds me of how much i like Produce Guy. Her guy is a little more... rebellious (?) than Produce Guy. She talks and talks and talks about him. I barely get a word in when she goes off about him. even when its cutting me off on a story about Produce Guy. If they don't hook up within a month, i'm going to explode. He's technically seeing someone, but he rarely speaks of her. So, in one month, he better break up with her, and hook up with Oldest Friend... or i'll explode. But seriously, it really makes my heart yearn for Produce Guy when she does.
i got a message on Facebook from Alias Best Friend... the Alias Best Friend i haven't heard from in... oh... a million years. It said "Umm...can we please be friends agian soon?!?! How is life? How is work?" I haven't heard anything about her life for about a year now... quite literally days before she grabbed her boyfriend. I know she has a boyfriend because her facebook pictures the past year has flipped between pictures of her and the guy she told me she liked. I'm glad for her, but i seriously hate how once your friend gets a boyfriend (or girlfriend if your a guy) then their friends not only take the backseat, but they get forgotten in the trunk. This is what happened. She sends me these messages every so often, wanting to be friends again, then i message her back saying "oh i'm good. works been good. not much to report on my end. How about you? How is your life?" and she doesn't respond until 3 months later i get "lets be friends again."
i deleted my myspace account yesterday. i hated myspace only... forever. i had it because AIM Friend talked to me frequently on there... but that has since been transfered onto Facebook (if even that these days... shes been a little on the quiet side lately, and i dont know why). I felt like my purpose on myspace was to stalk my friends. No one visits my page, only History Friend and Oldest Friend look at my surveys, which i haven't been doing for months now, and no one leaves me comments. Then, i got phished. that was the straw that broke the camels back (and i really dont understand that expression at all). It was just not worth having one anymore. I also hate just about everything about myspace. i hate the way it's set up, and i hate the way it's kept, and i hate how popular it is, and i hate how everything is constantly being repaired, and i hate how easy it is to be scammed and i hate how easy it is to scam, spam, and phish. I just hate everything about myspace. History Friend is very upset that i deleted it. I dont know why though. She doesn't visit my page, she reads the surveys i rarely write, and she doesn't leave me comments. what's to miss? Shes venting her anger on my Facebook page. thats kind of an overstatement. Expressing her dissapointment is more like it. She's silly. Anyway, i'm mad because she's not coming home until DECEMBER. She ALWAYS comes home for like a week or two during Thanksgiving/her birthday, but not this year. So she can take that. :)
I've had this PC Clue game for like... years. I got it off of a cereal box. I loved it. Clue is my favorite board game, so i totally adore the PC game. It's also the full game too which is awesome. Anyway, about a month ago i was looking for it. I KNEW it was in my room, but i couldn't find it ANYWHERE. i was heartbroken. I couldn't find it anywhere. Then like, a week ago, my mom decides to play Phil Collins "...Hits" (which i had in my possession for like a million years and recently gave back to her), and what is in there that is not Phil Collins "...Hits"? Clue. I was thrilled... no... tickled pink. a day or two later, i try to play it on the laptop. it wasn't working so well, but then again the laptop is a piece of shit. My computer is dying slowly, so i didn't want to give it anymore reason to die any faster or more painfully (read: i didn't want to give it anymore reason to completely piss me off any further) so i then went to my mom's computer. I started to play it and it froze after the third round. so i was like "NOOOOOOOO!" I kept trying to play it, but it would always freeze after the third round. So i was pissed. I decided to buy a brand spanking new one off of Amazon.com. It came yesterday. i was thrilled, and went downstairs to play it, and quickly realized that i should uninstall it and reinstall it with this new disc. I was halfway through the game when it fricken froze again. There is seriously NO WAY it froze because it was using too much memory on my computer. PC Clue is A MILLION YEARS OLD. It was made to be played on Windows 98. It doesn't take a lot of ram or memory to play, so there is little reason to think it froze because of ram or memory. I dont get it, and i hate computers.
the closer who was hired to replace me quit for "family reasons". What family reasons could there possibly be that requires someone to quit a job? I just dont understand that at all. Anyway, whenever something like this happens, the first priority is making sure to cover all of her shifts. Since i was the last closer, she had me close on Thursday (nooooooo!!! thats The Office night!!!!) Since the duties of the closer changed a bit since i was a closer, i was totally insecure about getting everything done on time. Luckily i ended up leaving a half an hour earlier than expected, so that's good, but still i'm glad i'm a baker now. Anyway, starting saturday (today) she has me scheduled to work six days in a row... two of them being closing nights. Those closing nights happen to be the two days i HATE closing. Wednesday and Thursday. I'm not only overwhelmed by the six days in a row, but i'm starting to think that she's trying to kill me. i'm a big baby, and i hate working. Six days in a row is exhausting. I know your argument "how are you going to handle a full time 40-hour-a-week job when you get older?" I'm going to HATE EVERY MINUTE OF IT. its that 40-hour-a-week job that i've been dreading with every core of my being since i was... 12? 13? 14? sometime in there. I dont like working. shes trying to smother me.
there is only one thing i like about fall and winter. i can wear scarves. i hate everything else about winter and fall. Yes, fall lovers, i'm not a big fall person. it goes from warmer to cooler which i dont appreciate. everything is dying, unlike my favorite season... spring where everything is blooming. Dead leaves... pretty as they are... fall everywhere and create a huge mess. Grass dies and turns this icky yellow color. I guess there is one other thing i like about fall/winter, the bugs go away for the most part.
there is a new manager at HV... my old boss left (which makes me cry), and i dont like this new one. The first time i met him he was alone, and i was desperate for the House Season 3 dvds, which were pretty much invisible there, and pretty much everything that came out of my polite mouth was wrong, or needed to be changed. it was insulting really. First, he goes and changes my account number from my name to a card number... which i dont understand why thats a big deal... you have to type in a code to get free rentals, and it wont work on my account because it recognizes my number (aka name) as invalid employee status. So... pointless! Then when i ask if i can "reserve" the House Season 3 discs 1, 2, 3... he said that they weren't doing that anymore because that was a mistake of a prior manager. Just in case you were wondering, that is 100% wrong. Corporate asked... no... told us to keep a binder and if someone was looking for a dvd that was rented, we put his name/phone number down, and we give him a call when it comes in, and after a day we let it go to the public. That was not some kooky idea any prior manager had. I know because i was against it when i first came out, and it was a corporate thing. So... whoa. Wrong impression #2. Also, he gives off this air of being better than me because he is working there, and i'm no longer working there. Wrong impression #3. ALSO! It was the morning shift. The morning shift can watch a movie before the store opens, but once it hits 10am, the trailer goes on. If they do watch anything, it's a disney movie at most. I know this because Anal HV Guy reminded me only SEVERAL times while i was working there. This guy was watching HOUSE SEASON 2!!! That is only SOOOOOO not allowed. Wrong Impression #4. Then i get home, a little rattled because i got bad impressions all over the board, and i look at my receipt to see when i bring them back, and i notice a charge for Playguard (which is granted a quarter per movie, but i dont need it) and he never even asked me if i wanted it... which i dont. Playguard, for you non-HVers... pretty much gives you protection over your movies incase say, your dog gets a hold of it, and decides to rip it to shreds... then you dont have to pay for the damages. My logic is, i'm not going to let my dogs get their noses on it, so i dont really need it, and i get to save 75 cents (i usually rent three dvds at a time). This jerk didn't even ask me and made me pay for it!!! so i dont like this guy. He did, at a later time, tease Anal HV Guy with me. That gave him maybe a brownie point. Basically my only regret is that i'm not currently getting free rentals.
i think this entry is long enough. im so sorry if you read all of this.
