Yay! Finals are done! Also, grades are posted and I must say I did better than I thought I would. We have a real estate agent coming to assess our condo tomorrow so I've just been trying to get things tiddy. Hopefully I'll be able to go running tomorrow. I think I'll have a bottle of wine this weekend to celebrate the quarter being over. Anyway, just random thoughts. I don't think anyone reads my blogs anymore anyway! Haha!

Haha! Honestly I forgot I had a live journal. Well, so much has happened! I went back to school (finally) at the beginning of this year (winter quarter). I feel like my life is actually going somewhere now. I got married in August. It was hectic, but now it's over and I have school to think about. I've been to lots of great concerts this year. Um....I'm not very good about talking about myself I guess. Back to studying for finals!

New album worth the purchase....

2006-03-09T23:33:13Z

(I posted this on myspace too :))

So I just got the new Cat Power album, "The Greatest." I have to say, it's very different than all her others. It sounds like Joni Mitchell if she were to have had a classic country influence instead of a jazz influence in her later years. There's not one song I don't like. It's truely beautiful, and she showcases her voice more so on this album more than any other. To anyone that reads this blog, you shound definately check it out!

Awww....

You Are A: Duckling!

The cutest of the cute, these baby ducks are often spotted in the spring following closely behind their mother. As a duckling you will grow up quickly, becoming one of the adult ducks seen commonly in ponds and streams. Playful and timid, charming and vulnerable, ducklings are nature's very definition of innocence.

You were almost a: Frog or a Mouse
You are least like a: Groundhog or a Turtle What Cute Animal Are You?

Policies....

2005-07-29T19:27:22Z

So I've been a shift supervisor for about 3 months now. I'm very by the book when I'm running the floor. I coach partners on following policies that I know exist, but the majority of management doesn't seem to follow. So a couple weeks ago, my manager told me that I'm being too hard on people and that policy isn't that important. I need to look at "the big rocks instead of the small ones". At that moment I felt everything I had been trained through with Starbucks was wrong. We just got a 67% snapshot for bad drink quality and speed of service, and here I am being told that following drink recepies to standard isn't important. I don't understand why following policy is suddenly a problem if I manage to do it while having fun and relating to the partners. What do you guys think? How important is policy in your stores?

So this Marine came into my store today, ordered his drink, then while I was on bar, asked me if I had a lighter. I told him yes, but it was in my car. Then he just gave me a blank stare and walked off, like he actually expected me to have one on the floor with me. It was weird.
Other than that, I had my assessment last week and I should be promoted to shift supervisor soon. I'm excited. It will be a new experience and it will allow me to finance a little better....

This idea was stolen....

SONG LYRIC GAME

Guess which song each of these lyrics are from....

1. ...and I'm beyond your periphrial vision, so you might wanna turn your head, cuz someday you might find you are starving and eating most of the words you just said...
2. ...you're the only one I care to hurt about....maybe I'm a'crazy...used to be my life was just emotions passing by...
3. ...we can never know about the days to come, but we think about them anyway, and I wonder if I'm really with you now or just chasing after some finer days....
4. ...long ago I reached for you and there you stood. Holding you again would only do me good...
5. ...don't let the past remind us of what we are not now...I am yours, you are mine, you make it hard...
6. ...I miss the Earth so much, I miss my wife. It's lonely in outer space on such a timeless flight...
7. ...it's my time coming on. I'm not afraid, afraid to die.....but she cries to the ticking of time...
8. ...and the seasons they go round and round, and the painted ponies go up and down. We're captive on the carousel of time. We can't return, we can only look behind from where we came....
9. ...I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream. I can't make a single sound as you scream...
10. ...we could live for a thousand years. If I hurt you, I'll make wine from your tears....
11. ...say money money won't get you too far, won't get you too far oh no.....
12. ...I am waiting at the counter for the man to pour the coffee and he fills it only half way and before I even argue he is looking out the window at somebody coming in....
13. ...let 'em say we're crazy. I don't care about that. Put your hand in my hand, baby don't ever look back. Let the world around us, just fall apart. Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart...
14. ...thinking how it used to be. Does she still remember times like these....
15. ...tumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen pour myself a cup of ambition and yawning stretching, trying to come to life...
16. ...don't want to be an actor, pretending on the stage, don't want to be a writer, with my thoughts out on the page.....a dream it's true, I'd see it through....
17. ...and now I'm home, and now I hollar. She can never know just what I found. That blue eyed girl, she said no more. And that blue eyed girl became a little whore....
18. ...I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs. I'm tossing out punch lines that were never there. Over my shoulder a piano falls, crashing to the ground....
19. ...streets like a jungle, so call the police, following the herd...
20. ...so I walk on over with my cristal, ya niggaz put away your pistols....
21. ...beep beep, who's got the keys to the jeep? Vroom....
22. ...don't push me cuz I'm close to the edge. I'm tryin' not to lose my head...

AARRGGHHHH!!!!

Okay, so I went into work today thinking, "It's going to be so easy! All I have to do is set up the promo." Wrong! I was there from 1:30 to 9 doing non-stop set up for tomorrow. For some reason, someone from corporate decided that all the machines needed head bands and hang tags. We came to the conclusion that those people are smoking too much herb. Needless to say, it was stressful, I'll probably have nightmares about it, but thank God it's over with.

Today was a weird day at work. First off, this high school kid comes up to me and asks how much I get paid. Not wanting to tell him the exact amount, I tell him that I get by for now. Then he asks how old I am. I tell him. Then he says, "Well, you really should be in school right now. It's better that way." Wanting to punch him in the face, I tell him, "Well, I've already gone through a year of school, and now I'm taking a break." What a dumb fuck! What right does he have to say that when he doesn't even know me?! It was probably his stupid way of flirting. High school boys are dumb.
Then, this weird guy comes in, orders a drip coffee, so I get him one. Then he asks for another cup because supposedly my hand touched the other one. That pissed me off, like I'm dirty or something. Hello! I work in food! Then things got creepy. I looked over and saw our lobby on his laptop screen. He was taping us! My shift manager went over and told him that it was violating security, and if he didn't stop, we'd call the police. He responded with,"Well, if it's against security, then I'm not doing it. Now leave me alone." So we kept watching him and soon enough he left. He was caught. I can't understand why people do things sometimes...
Anyway, I haven't heard from TJ in a few days (for those of you who don't know the backround, it's a loooong story). His phone's been off, which worries me because he might suddenly be in another country (he's in the Marines). I'm sad not hearing from him, but I've decided I can't let it get me down when I'm nowhere near him and won't be for another 3 years. I guess I'll see what happens then....

-Perfect- You're the perfect girlfriend. Which
means you're rare or that you cheated :P You're
the kind of chick that can hang out with your
boyfriend's friends and be silly. You don't
care about presents or about going to fancy
placed. Hell, just hang out. You're just happy
being around your boyfriend.

These lyrics describe how I'm feeling right now. He just doesn't understand. His mind is too clouded with misery....

Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power, yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things
Define what's within
And I've been there before
But that life's a bore
So full of the superficial

[Chorus:]
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, Yeah

Some people search for a fountain
That promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love him
Hand me the world on a silver platter
And what good would it be
With no one to share
With no one who truly cares for me

[Chorus:]
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, you, you
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, yeah

[Outro:]
If I ain't got you with me baby
So nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me baby

So.....

Life is good at the new store. I was surprised at how quickly I adapted. Hopefully I'll have a better chance at getting promoted....
I saw Constantine the other night. It was pretty bad. First off, being Catholic, it made me uncomfortable observing how Hollywood percieves the Catholic religion. I just get tired of movies that show a narrow-minded perspective like that. Secondly, the plot got worse and worse throughout the movie and then took a landslide towards disaster after the middle. And third, Keanu Reeves is, and always will be, a terrible actor. That guy belongs on a soap opera.
Other than that, not a lot has been going on. I was depressed a few days ago, but it's gotten better. I hate feeling that way, but it's been happening too often...

Wednesday we went to dinner at Tia Lu's. I ordered this really strong raspberry thing, then took a shot of Jager. Needless to say I got pretty buzzed. Then it was on to the Rendevous where we met a couple more friends and had moe drinks. Over all, I got pretty drunk, but I didn't get sick, which was nice.
I left for Vegas to meet my family on Thursday. We drove to Lake Havesu, Arizona to spend time with my grandparents. Friday we all went to Laughlin. I think I lost a total of $70, which isn't horribly bad. Sunday we went back to Vegas and spent time in the New York New York casino. My big win was after I put $.50 in a slot machine, puled the handle once, and won $10. I was pretty proud.
Anyway, it's nice to be home and 21. Now my friends won't have to worry about what under age things they can do when they hang out with me.

Valentines's Day.....

2005-02-14T23:30:00Z

So.....I'm alone this year, once again. It's okay though. I guess that's what I get for choosing not to be in a relationship for a while. It is kind of hard seeing all the happy couples though, and knowing that I won't be experiencing the same thing.
Tonight is looking to be fun. I'm going to a show with Lizzie. I'm not sure which bands are playing, but it's better than staying home. I'll have to write again and list the bands.
2 days til I'm 21!! I'm going out with a few friends tomorrow at midnight for power hour. It should be quite the experience. Then I leave for Vegas on the 17th and then onto Arizona. Yay!

So I've been in my new apartment for almost a week now and I love it. It's so spacious and it's in a great area.
Other than that, I went to the dentist today, which was obviously not fun. I have cavities and wisdom teeth, so I had to make more appointments to take care of those. The assistant asked me if I wanted my teeth cleaned and I had to force myself to say yes, because I hadn't had them cleaned in God knows how long. It was extremely gross and annoying. They were also ready to take some of my wisdom teeth out right there on the spot, but I declined, saying I wasn't ready yet. I've heard too many horror stories, so I think I need mental preparation.
I got word today that I will be transfering to a new store soon. I went in and met the manager and she seems cool. I should be transferring at the end of the month. I'm kind of nervous.

I stole this from Steve again, because he gets the good surveys....

....until I further examined the lyrics to Red Rain. They are absolutely beautiful. I believe there is symbolism is literally everything, and I tend to easily find it in songs. I would like to experience the story in this song...or maybe I already have.

Red Rain

red rain is coming down
red rain
red rain is pouring down
pouring down all over me

I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream
I cannot make a single sound as you scream
it can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch
this place is so quiet, sensing that storm

red rain is coming down
red rain
red rain is pouring down
pouring down all over me

well I've seen them buried in a sheltered place in this town
they tell you that this rain can sting, and look down
there is no blood around see no sign of pain
hay ay ay no pain
seeing no red at all, see no rain

red rain is coming down
red rain
red rain is pouring down
pouring down all over me

red rain-
putting the pressure on much harder now
to return again and again
just let the red rain splash you
let the rain fall on your skin
I come to you defences down
with the trust of a child

red rain is coming down
red rain
red rain is pouring down
pouring down all over me
and I can't watch any more
no more denial
it's so hard to lay down in all of this

Moving in 5 days!

2005-01-31T04:42:55Z

I'm really excited to move out. I've been packing my stuff and realized that I didn't really have that much to pack, which is kind of a relief.
So work was good today. I went in earlier than usual and was off by mid-afternoon. Steve and I went out to dinner at McCorrmick and Schmicks (I probably spelled that wrong) because I had a $20 gift certificate to use. It was pretty good food.
I have a very busy month ahead of me.

This was stolen, too!!!

Today started out wonderful! I got a call from Seattle Central, telling me that they'd accepted my application and transcripts, so I can register at the end of next month. Then I got a message from the apartment complex I applied to, telling me that the application is accepted. Yay! I'm moving in a couple weeks. I'm excited, but I still have a lot of stuff to pack.
Work was okay. I worked with some fun people today. I've really felt out of it this whole week though, kind of like I haven't been myself. Maybe I haven't been sleeping well or something. I don't know.
I did have a strange dream last night where I was shopping for a wedding dress with my mom. Totally out of the ordinary....

Hehe! I stole this....
