MOOD: eh.
MUSIC: Move Along CD - All-American Rejects
Well, Happy belated V-Day. I hope everyone had an eventful and happy one. As for me I worked and slept. Good times... lol... Anyways, I went mattress shopping yesterday and what a pain in the ass it was. Oh My God! Never knew there were so many and the stupid mattress salesmen are all such schiesters! I didn't buy anything yet. Going shopping again today. So many choices. I pretty much know which ones I'm leaning towards buying. The prices are just really high and my parents are getting all pissy with me over how much I should spend. I think no matter what I'm gonna get tricked into paying too much but I don't really care. I need something that will help my back and if I gotta pay a lot for it then I guess I will.
Things are developing for me in the love department. I've met someone (I'll call him A) and we seem to be hitting it off fairly well. It's early yet so that's all I can and will say. But wish me luck cuz I'm gonna need it.
We got a pretty big snow storm here over the weekend. About 6 to 8 inches. I went out and rolled around in it and made a snow angel before I had to start shoveling the driveway. That was fun...Not. I loved playing in it though! I just wished A was with me. Well, I'm gonna go get my shower.

'Tis the season to rant, rant, rant...
MOOD: whatever.
MUSIC: "All I Ask Of You" from Phantom of the Opera on tv in the background
Well, I guess I should write something here since it's Christmas and all. It's utterly uneventful here. No presents - except what I bought for myself. We went to my aunt's yesterday but because I had to work the night before I just slept the whole time I was there. Got up late and ate dinner after everyone else had already had theirs. So I've been up all night trying to stay awake so I can go to bed today before work tonight. Anyhoo, that was my Christmas. Fun.
Work last week was fairly annoying. One high point was winning a new phone from the Christmas raffle. It's pretty neat with caller ID in the handset. Very nice! But here's the sucky part: We have a real basket case at work. She's a terrible worker. Purposely careless about everything from proper conduct to respect for coworkers, and even customer safety. She's apparently mentally ill. And I'm not talking retardation. I mean Bi-polar or ADHD or one of those other behavioral personality disorders. But because she broke down and started crying and ranting at lunch she was immediately given and passed her 3 month evaluation (even though I'm not sure she's even been employed that long) and she got her salary increase! So guess what else she got? She won the 27" Flat Screen TV from the Christmas raffle! HOW is that possible!! Karma should work better than that! This place is really testing my faith right now (lol). Every time she screws up it's someone else's fault. But then she continues to just shrug her shoulders and say "I don't care!" and "I don't care what you guys think!" and "Oh well, I don't care, that's not my job!" or "Too bad, it's not my problem." A customer tripped and almost cracked his head open over one of her palets that she left in the middle of the isle even after we told her it wasn't safe and she couldn't leave it there. She just said "Oh well, I'm going on break. I'll move it after I get back." And in that 15 to 30 minutes the customer could have been seriously hurt and the company would've been facing a big time lawsuit. She just doesn't give a crap. And I'm through caring now myself. I'm done reminding her about the difference between right and wrong. I'm tired of waiting around for her to find a clue. Because as long as she has the "I'm sick" card to play no one will do anything to stop her for good. Management has her in the office at least 3 times a week and everytime she comes out and is a little angel the rest of the night but then it's back to business as usual. I guess they're all afraid she's going to call the main headquarters and say they're discriminating against her because she's ill. Having those problems doesn't excuse her from continually shirking her work and putting people in danger. Whatever. The system sucks. I think I'm done ranting. Well, for the moment.
I'm also getting frustrated with a certain other person who can't seem to decide what he wants. I thought we were on the same page but I think I've gone on to chapter 5 while he's still stuck on the first paragraph. Again, I say Whatever.

MOOD: chipper
MUSIC: "Sunlight" -- Natalie Imbruglia
Well, we didn't get as much snow as they thought we would. We actually got mostly ice with a little snow. It was maybe 2 to 3 inches at most. I didn't get to take off work. Boo hoo. I did however go shopping! I had to return this hoodie that my friend got me for my birthday because it was the wrong size. They didn't have anymore of that one in my size so I found this hoodie instead. I think I like it better than the other one. Even though I thoroughly adore butterflies! I also bought this cute shirt and another pretty pink ribbed fabric v-neck shirt with 3/4-length sleeves. It's too cute! Calling for more winter weather again this Thursday. And dad and I are going to see Narnia on Wednesday.

We're supposed to get some snow tonight. Four to eight inches possible. I doubt we'll get that much. But I'm hoping! ;oP I love snow! Plus I'd like an extra day off from work. hehe... Also, I found this nifty site for quotations. I'm collecting alot! I've added their Daily Quotations to the sidebar on here for everyone to read.

MOOD: fine and dandy!! ;oP
MUSIC: Anything by Mae
Geez, I've finally gotten around to coming back to this thing. Well, first things first... my crush is almost completely gone. Distance worked its magic, but slowly. Anyhoo, still working at Wal*Fart. Still hating it. Unfortunately I have no life so this blog suffers from terminal boring-ness. Wish I had some hot man drama to post. Alas, spinsterhood has caught me in her talons.
My birthday came and went. 21 years on the planet and nothing much to show for it. I got this cute hoodie from my friend Lisa (Butterflies! My fave!). And dad got me some books -- this one is especially awesome! You should definitly check out the companion site. And he got me a Circuit City gift card that I have yet to use. I spent some money and treated myself to Bookcrossing supplies. Christie slept over Wednesday night and we went out and got supplies for a fun drunken night and I made my first alcoholic purchase! Woo! Nifty rites-of-passage abound! LOL! We bought some orange juice and cranberry juice and then I went to the liquor store and bought some Parrot Bay Mango Flavored Rum. We mixed them and it made a yummy fruit fusion! Got me nice and tipsy too. I've drank before this actually cuz my parents buy me beer if I'm having friends over and we decide to have a little something. And I like being tipsy rather than flat-out drunk because you have more fun and you remember the shit that happened afterwards. LOL! Then we rented some movies and just laid around the house, watched movies, drank a little and had a fun quiet night (we're not really partiers, if you couldn't tell).
I saw Walk the Line yesterday. Very good! I give it 5 stars! It was beautifully acted and Reese and Joaquin did a fabulous job singing the songs. My only complaint is that I wish they'd explored Cash's relationship with his father a little more deeply. There was so much underlying guilt between the two of them. It would've been great to have more father-son interaction and a resolve to their problems that packed a more emotional punch.
Okay, well, not much else to tell. So I'm gonna go to bed so I can get up and go to work tonight. I'll try to log on here sooner next time.

MOOD: tired and dreading going to work tonight
MUSIC: anything Fall Out Boy
I'm still completely crushing on that guy from work except now he doesn't work there anymore and I haven't seen him since his last day there. But I can't get over my crush. Absence is so making my heart grow fonder. Out of sight, out of mind is not working right now. I wish it were. I'm never gonna see him again unless he comes in to shop in the middle of the night and that won't be happening since he doesn't drive. I should've gotten his number before he left but I was way too shy to ask. I could kick myself for that. Not much else going on. I hate my job. I wanna quit but I need the money (and the insurance). I might just transfer to another store or something cuz this store really bites. I swear I could write a book - an exposé - all about Walmart and their bullshit.
I saw "Flightplan" and "The Corpse Bride" yesterday. I give them both 4 stars out of 5. "Corpse Bride" was hilarious! I laughed my butt off the whole time! I highly recommend it. And "Flightplan" was a great thriller with a good (but slightly predictable) twist. Still it had good suspense which is my favorite thing about thrillers anyway. I also saw "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" a few weeks ago. I give that one 5 stars! Absolutely brilliant court room drama! Definitly not what the trailers make it out to be and in this case that's a very good thing. I recommend it to anyone who likes good cinema. Not for people looking for a cheap thrill or just another mindless horror flick. The director did a fabulous job of getting you to think hard about whether this girl had a mental problem or was really being possessed. ***SPOILER ALERT! Don't read any further if you haven't seen the movie!*** I think what was important about the story was that she (Emily) believed herself to be possessed and so did her family. They truly felt that their priest was the only one who could help her. And I believe that by the time of her death she really had "accepted her fate". If I were on that jury I wouldn't have known what verdict to come to. I suppose you could say that the priest was negligent in telling her to go off her meds except that it was what she told him she wanted to do. So really she made that desicion on her own. To me, it's like trying to charge a doctor with murder for allowing his cancer patient to die at home instead of seeking medical treatment. Okay, that's all I'm going to say cuz I've probably just told the whole point of the movie but at least I warned you first.

p.s. - I can't believe it's been a month since I wrote here. Time is just passing way too fast. Tomorrow will be October! It's already getting cold out. I love winter but it just seems too soon. I feel old. I hate this. starrgirle sparkled @ 2:38 pm, Friday, September 30, 2005
Tried to go shopping. Couldn't find what I was looking for and it was rainy and gross outside. And everybody was out. Traffic was so awful that I only went to 2 stores before I decided to just bag it and go home. Plus I'm sooo sleepy today for some reason. It's probably the rain. I wish I could've gotten out to the movies this weekend. And now I'm just on here cuz I'm so fucking bored. I'd go to a chat or something but anymore there's nothing but spammers and sex-aholics online. Well, I guess there's nothing left to do now but watch all my shows that I taped over the week or lie down with a book. Both of those sound incredibly mind-numbing but I don't have the energy it would take to actually do something more productive or at least more fun. Oh, has anyone else heard Tori Amos' version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit"?? Or the version by Scala?? They're on constant rotation on my radioblog. Reeeaaally great renditions! The Scala version is especially creepy and melancholy and just beautiful. Check em out if you get the chance!

MUSIC: "Sugar, We're Going Down" -- Fall Out Boy
Just got the new Fall Out Boy. Loving it immensely! Also going crazy with my radio.blog playlist. Anyhoo, I don't really have anything to write about. I'm just bored. I have to go shopping today before it gets too late and I was hoping to see a movie later too but I may not have the time today. I'm trying to stop crushing on this guy at work but it's not working. He's too cute and interesting! Aaarrgghh! *slaps self -- Snap out of it!* As Jude put it so eloquently on a recent episode of Instant Star: I'm tired of falling for guys who don't fall back. It hurts too much. I wish I could get up the guts to tell him how I feel but it's not gonna happen. I'd die first. And I probably will. Seeing him everyday doesn't help either. Every time I see him I wanna reach out and touch his face or hold his hand. God, I suck. *SIGH* Well, I'm off to continue in my suckage and get my shopping list out of the way.
xoxo
P.S. -- I'm not-so-patiently awaiting the arrival of the "Life As We Know It" DVD I ordered from Amazon that only just today shipped out. Stupid Super Saver Shipping... starrgirle sparkled @ 12:13 pm, Saturday, August 27, 2005

MUSIC: The Click Five's New Album
Okay, well, I said no to that co-worker. Definitly bad news. After he asked me out I started hearing all kinds of *interesting* things about him... Needless to say, my instincts were right on the money as usual.
I'm starting to crush on this other guy at work but I'm trying to just push the feelings away because I know he doesn't like me back. So I figure what's the point of having feelings for someone who doesn't feel the same?
Jaquie's heading off to college today. She's moving 6hrs away and she's been really freaked out and nervous. We went to DC last night and visited with my uncle and had dinner. The restaurant ended up being an extremely high priced crappy joint. First they took over 45mins getting our food to us and then they messed up my uncle's order and Jaquie found 2 -- not 1 but 2 -- hairs in her food. And then when we complained to the manager he was like "Is this all you had to tell me?" and that kinda miffed us even more. He did give us a discount but not much of one. My food was perfectly fine (rather delicious actually), even though it was very expensive ($26.80) for a pork chop and some potatoes. Anyways, we came back late last night even though Jaquie needed to leave for school by 5am.
Well that's about it for my boring life. Until next time....

MOOD: Giddy/Annoyed
MUSIC: S.O.S. -- Good Charlotte
I got asked out by a co-worker today! I'm still reeling over it. I didn't really answer him tho. I kinda left him hanging. I feel bad but honestly I don't really think I'm that interested in him. He's completely not my type. Nice guy, but more of a "man's man" than I like. Kinda rednecky and overly macho. I'm more into the shy/sensitive/punk/thinker/musician types. Still it was just breakfast not marriage so maybe I should've said yes just for something to do. But he wanted to go after work and I was tired and just wanted to get home. And then I thought, "well I could've given him my number" but I'm not the number giving type cuz then if it doesn't work out and you don't want anything to do with him anymore, he's still got your number (LOL!). So anyhoo, if you couldn't tell by now I'm very torn. I don't do a lot of dating and I don't get asked out a lot so it's always hard for me to decide when it comes to these things. I always wonder what might've happened when I say no, but when I say yes the date usually goes horribly with neither one of us happy at the end. I'm old-fashioned, I move slow and most guys don't like that. They want action the first time around and I don't even kiss on a first date. I have high standards and demand respect from any guy I date. I expect to be treated like a lady but still left with enough independence to order my own food and pay for myself. I also hate being called "Baby" and most of the guys I've dated liked calling me that. I'm not a baby, I'm a woman and I have a name, thankyouverymuch. That was another unfavorable thing about this guy. He called me baby and I called him an asshole. Here's how it went...
He whistled at me to get my attention. *Points were lost immediately!* I scowled at him and he did it again. Then he said, "C'mere baby," in this redneck country voice that reminded me of Elvis (LOL!). I came over, shaking my head and said "You're such an asshole." He said, "Oh, I'm an asshole?" I said, "Yeah!" in a "duh..." kind of tone. And then he asked, "You wanna go to breakfast after this?" I was like, "I dunno... where?" He shrugged and said, "Shit, I don't care, anywhere, the truck stop?" I just started laughing and said "I dunno, maybe" and then I changed the subject.
Now, I am not a truck stop kind of girl. If you wanna take me out you gotta do it right, put some thought into it. And this, people, is my sad dating life. Living in the South doesn't help much either. The only guys that ask me out are either fat rednecks, fat rednecks who are old enough to be my dad, big burly black guys (I'm not racist, I'm just not attracted to black guys) and sad slacker pot heads.
Is it too much to ask that a young white democratic man with (at least) a high school diploma, good manners, nice grooming, a home, a car, a stable job, a fantastic sense of humor, intelligence, good verbal skills, and no children or ex-wives be out there somewhere and interested in me enough to wanna take me out??? Even half these qualities would be kewl (although I'm afraid the no kids/ex-wife thing is a must, LOL). Okay, let's weigh it out.
| PRO'S |
CON'S |
|
1) It's a date, woo!
2) He's my age
3) He's semi-attractive (trust me
with my dating past, it's a
very good thing!)
4) He has a car (I think)
5) He has a job although
not a really stable one |
1) He's not my type at all
2) Is divorced
3) Has 2 children
4) Is disrespectful
5) He's a smartass (I usually
like that but on him it's annoying
and disrespectful)
|
Ack, it's even! I hate that! But the pro's don't seem very good even for pro's. The con's listed are usually clinchers for me so I must be really in need of a date (LOL!) to even be considering a guy like him. Oh well. Either way I don't think I'm going to date him unless I can set him straight on how to treat me respectfully. I wish I could date my boss... he's quite dreamy... sweet face, good manners, cute personality, just a nice sweet guy and respectful. ;oP
Well, I'm off to dye my hair and think it over some more. Comments are welcome! Help! LOL!
