10:52 am - Growing Up
|
It seems like this month will end and the first of september everything will be different. Paige and Mike are really leaving. Mel is really leaving. and Dan's really going into the navy.
weve already started running and pricing weights so he can get ready for it. hes already done at hard rock and he helped clean the condo last night (which was awesome! Thanks honey!!!) We quit weed last night, but made it a good time by watching beast wars on dvd in our freshly cleaned up office. prolly quitting lucky strikes soon since they wont let him have them in basic. he doesnt have a set date to leave, but im slowly getting more and more prepared for it. it will suck to have him gone for long periods of time, but itll be great to move so much, i want out of here so bad. im ready. *deep breathe* im ready for it. at least hell be doing what he really wants and hell come back feeling like he did something and had a purpose. i dream of seeing the smile on his face when he comes back and the one on his face and he leaves. thatll be what gets me thru him being gone.
im trying to get everyhing clean and organized so i dont have to do any chores when i take my vacation on the 18th. were trying to set up a camping trip since ive never been and the trip we planned for my birthday didnt work out. itll be great for just the two of us to get away and be together. im so excited.
tomorrow marks my year with BAMC. and it very well may be my last day. weve formed an unofficial quasi-union thing and decided if they cut our pay anymore, were all leaving. yea. dont wanna leave, but at some point we all need to stand up and stop letting them walk all over us. we have a meeting with management today, and im hoping we wont need the 'union' but well see how it goes.
In other news, ive banned myself from watching racing movies and then driving home. we saw talladega nights at lowes and i almost hit some people on the way home. they should have seen that i was going way too fast and NOT cut me off - theyre fault. the end.

By following the simple advice I heard on the Dr. Phil show, I have finally found inner peace. Dr.Phil proclaimed, "The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you've started and never finished."
So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished, and before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of White Zinfandel, a bottle of Kahlua, a package of Oreos, the remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake, and a box of chocolates.
You have no idea how good I'm feeling!!!
Please pass this on to those you feel might be in need of inner peace…

Donner, you're a Bad Girl!
You are a Bad Girl
Who's a prim goody two-shoes? Not you! A little bit jaded and oh-so-experienced, you're the opposite of good; in a phrase — very, very bad. When you watch Grease, you root for Rizzo, not Sandy. Motorcycle clubs and tattoo parlors know you by name — you've been there and done that. Never one to say no to a good time, you'll stay out late and party till dawn. Guys dig your spontaneity, sense of adventure, and leather-dominated wardrobe. They swarm to you like bees to honey. Still, no matter how tough you are on the outside, you can get very tender around the right guy. You don't have to talk about your feelings with everyone you meet, though. That touchy-feely stuff doesn't really fly with you. Men admire you for being a sharp-minded, rebellious gal who knows how to let loose and bring out their wild side.

So has anyone seen the dramatic DROP in the mortgage industry?? So far, just in the last two months, over 8,000 people in the business nationally have been laid-off, including my best friend here Patty. Business (especially the QUALITY of business) has just plain gone down this year. NO COMPANY is where they thought they would be. My department has just under 45 days to revamp and increase production or we're all out. Aparently this is what happens every four years when the market decides to eat itself. horray for stuff!
In other news...does anyone know where i can find plasticy care bear fabric??? I need to replace the plaid cloth shift boot i made with something that is a little more resistant to coffee...BITCH LASTED ONE DAY BEFORE THE DAILY GRIND RUINED IT! But i dont blame the grind - i blame my damned turbo engine and the ways i abuse it! HA!
in even other news (PAIGE ARE YOU READING!?!?) - slick new horror game which cators to all of the things ive wanted in a game. its called scratches, and granted nothing creepy has happened yet, i love it none-the-less. My poor warcraft character has suffered though (shes been sleeping at some random inn for almost a week now, haha). Once agin directed to Paige (i spelled again wrong and didnt fix it) - we should play FF3, i dont have any days off during the week anymore, but dan works sat and sun now from 11-5, so im basicly free then, if you havent beaten the shit out of it yet. i need to work on getting out more - this is my first year without a summer vacation and im going so stir-crazy that i feel like mittens watching Birdzilla from the kitchen window.

If you reply:
1. I'll respond with something random I like about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll name something we should do together.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me (or just me).
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll leave you a quote that is somehow appropriate to you.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you may post this on your journal so you can do the same for other people.

1:14 pm - Dear Mr. President
|
Come take a walk with me
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions
if we can speak honestly
What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proud
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why
Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
How can you say
No child is left behind
We're not dumb and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pave the road to hell
What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine
Let me tell you bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you bout hard work
You don't know nothing bout hard work
How do you sleep at night
How do you walk with your head held high
Dear Mr. President
You'd never take a walk with me
Would you
current mood:  spacey
current music: Lovin' Pink's new ablum...CUZ I CAN!

10:38 am - Stress
|
A lecturer, when explaining stress management to his audience, raised a glass of water and asked, "How heavy is this glass of water?"
Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.
The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.
If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."
He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on. As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden. So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow right where you left off. Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment so you can rest, refresh and carry on."
So, my friend put down anything that may be a burden to you right now.
Don't pick it up again until after you've rested awhile.
Here are some great ways of dealing with the burdens of life:
* Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.
* Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
* Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
* Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.
* If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
* If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
* It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to be kind to others.
* Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, otherwise you won't have a leg to stand on.
* Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
* Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.
* The second mouse gets the cheese.
* When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
* Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.
* You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.
* Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
* We could learn a lot from crayons... some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.
*A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you today

4:26 pm - toys from Trish at work
|
After getting all of Pope Benedict's luggage loaded into the limo, (and
he doesn't travel light), the driver notices that the Pope is still
standing on the curb.
"Excuse me, Your Holiness," says the driver, "Would you please take your
seat so we can leave?"
"Well, to tell you the truth," says the Pope, "they never let me drive
at the Vatican when I was a cardinal, and I'd really like to drive
today."
"I'm sorry, Your Holiness, but I cannot let you do that. I'd lose my
job! And what if something should happen?" protests the driver, wishing
he'd never gone to work that morning.
Reluctantly, the driver gets in the back as the Pope climbs in behind
the wheel. The driver quickly regrets his decision when, after exiting
the airport, the Pontiff floors it, accelerating the limo to 105 mph
(remember, he's a German Pope).
"Please slow down, Your Holiness!" pleads the worried driver, but the
Pope keeps the pedal to the metal until they hear sirens.
"Oh, dear God, I'm going to lose my license -- and my job!" moans the
driver.
The Pope pulls over and rolls down the window as the cop approaches, but
the cop takes one look at him, goes back to his motorcycle, and gets on
the radio.
"I need to talk to the Chief," he says to the dispatcher.
The Chief gets on the radio and the cop tells him that he's stopped a
limo going a hundred and five.
"So bust him," says the Chief.
"I don't think we want to do that, he's really important," said the cop.
The Chief exclaimed," All the more reason!"
"No, I mean really important," said the cop with a bit of persistence.
The Chief then asked, "Who do you have there, the mayor?"
Cop: "Bigger."
Chief: " A senator?"
Cop: "Bigger."
Chief: "The Prime Minister?"
Cop: "Bigger."
"Well," said the Chief, "who is it?"
Cop: "I think it's God!"
The Chief is even more puzzled and curious, "What makes you think it's
God?"
Cop: "His chauffeur is the Pope."

Im getting to fucking hate the mortgage industry. a five year bubble is about to burst, so all the loans coming in are bullshit. AND for the THIRD month in a row, i wont make my bonus because ONE LOAN that i busted ass to rush to settlement, walked from the fucking table. and the one i had from friday, oh yes, i was here until 7 working for two hours that my company WONT pay me for, so that i could hit my bonus, and find out this morning "oh they postponed settlement to today." Well, don't they realize how much harder it is to go from a march closing to an april closing??? It doesnt happen at the flick of a switch assholes. and they wont pay the $200 redraw fee, so im convinced they refinanced their house JUST to fuck with me. So ive decided to join the navy. id much rather swim for a living than have to talk to people - i hate people. And if my parents keep bad mouthing each other to me....im buying a house and living in financial crisis for the next year. i cant stand the emotions i go through when the two people ive idolized since birth, wont say a word to me unless it involves some major fault in the other. i need a bike...so i think thursday, ill buy a bike and go to loch raven and intentionally forget im not the only person on the planet. And im gonna try and talk dan into tattoos this weekend. i need some positive excitment. at least its almost time to go home, and at least donner is there to make sweet love to me. the end.

I'm trying not to make assumptions. it all seems so wrong. There has to be good in it, there has to be! reading a book that demonstrates how easy it is to make assumptions, and how easy it is to be way off, and how it easy it is to act on assumptions without knowing the whole thing. maybe i will never understand it. maybe i will never accept it. but i have to realize i may be wrong.

Just so everyone is on the same page.... if you HAPPEN to fail the emmissions test, say back in like september or october, and it slips ur mind aaaaall the way past the due date in february, they cancel ur registration.... and it could be a $280 fine if you HAPPEN to have a brake light out and get pulled over.
So needless-to-say Batgurl has been sitting dormant since Friday to avoid the latter and most servere of the consequences. But there is good news! if you call, they will fax over the paperwork you lost from the failed test so your mechanic can fix the problems. they'll even give you an extension on when to take the test and renew ur registration so you can drive to said test. Now i just need to get the work done. bleh.
In better news, Dan is OFFICIALLY a high school graduate, and he is also OFFICIALLY working at hard rock again starting march 1st. horray for stuff! he would prolly start this week, but hes keeping his schedule free for my bday friday.
I dunno what well be doing now that im out of a car, but im thinking it might involve a van and furniture moving - old furniture still plaguing my ex-roomates, new furniture to replace the crap we dont even have, and furniture and boxes i very well may have never seen before that my dad needs to move.
Maybe ill just spend the rest of the weekend playing SNES with heather. Or who knows, maybe Batgurl will be ready for the road by then. I don't even know if we're going to blood bowl this week. everything is up in the air. And im gonna have to have dan tie me a chair so i dont work friday. i can already see its gonna be bad, and karen wont be here past noon. le sigh.
weve already given up on camping which is kinda depressing, and now with all my car trouble, i dont think well be going anywhere. cept to little Lidia's party, cuz id walk to catonsville to see her on her bday.
i dont really have much else to bitch about - really just wanted to congratulation dan on his GED :-) but now ur updated on my life, so HA!

12:57 pm - true to myself - that's how it's gotta be...
|
All the bullshit that I see
so much I can't believe
grown man just tryin' to be
true to myself impossibly
I may not ever get rich
might wind up diggin' a ditch
I won't cry no I won't bitch
I wont back down and I'll never quit
All the methods that I use
all the things I use and abuse
it all leaves me confused
I've beer torn up, beat down and bruised
but somehow I was saved
and I'm standing here today
Now I do things my own way
cause I'm never going back again!
It is my badge of pride
hardcore 'til the day I die
just tryin' to survive
I won't back down or apologize
Say what you wanna say
I'm not listening anyway
I'll believe what I wanna believe
true to myself
that's how it's gotta be...
current mood:  drained
current music: Pennywise - badge of pride
