Restarting

So, here it is at about 1230 at night, I should really be asleep, but I decided today that I should start blogging again. There is too much stuff that goes on in my life I will just forget otherwise. I will try to blog every day, even if it is just an update on the amount of hours I worked and miles I biked :D.

Background: Right now I am working at Burger King and a call center doing tele-surveys (NOT SELLING ANYTHING) I am also in the process of getting a 3rd job. (yeah, I know, crazy...) I am currently housesitting in town (if you want to know where I live, look on my facebook, the city will be there, but since this is a public blog I'd rather not say here...). My brother is using my baby (car) right now, so my main transportation is bike, using the bus system just a little bit.

Monday and Tuesday: worked about 22 hours and rode my bike about 22miles total, made a wal-mart run (on bike) and really only bought healthy food. SO PROUD OF MYSELF!! stayed up till like 4 Monday night, cleaning and trying to make corn tamales (no meat) and they did not turn out at ALL (if anyone knows how to make them, information/help would be greatly appreciate!). 4 Hours of sleep (or so) Monday night. Interview for 3rd job Tuesday afternoon (AT A TV STATION AS A PRODUCTION ASSISTANT!!!).

Wednesday: About 10 hours work, my 1st drug test (pee test), only about 6 1/2 miles b/c my mom is awesome and gave me a ride! cleaning and food.....

It is now 415ish... (was cleaning etc) Will post more later!

life is getting more boring and more epic, depending on the day...

yet again another example of how I need to post more often.... the events of the 21st and 22nd may not be exactly right, but it was one of those two days......

Oct 21: I think this was the day I saw law abiding citizen and went to hot topic w/ prison guard.

Oct 22: didn't do much, didn't go to work b/c is was way slow

Oct 23: stayed up way late making 5 batches of cookies. took 7 cups of sugar and 4 cups of peanut butter.

Oct 24: DUDE!!!! AWESOME DAY!!!! so, I went to work, gave my crush cookies, then went to a college in the northern part of my city looking for stashes of red bull, didn't find any, but then there were some "spirit rocks" in the middle of the campus, and people are allowed to paint it. A guy started walking up to them and pulled out spray paint. I figured he was w/ a student organization and offered to help. He said he was just tagging the rock and said I could do the other side. It was awesome. I will try to post pics at a later date. After that I got food and went to the big city next to the one I live in. I surprised two friends, colored w/ a Disney princess coloring book and 64 crayons, fell asleep at 5 in the morning on the second friend's couch after watching hot rod.

Oct 25: woke up at around 8, got home around 930, showered, passed out for a little, church.... felt lonely, the missionaries cheered me up :)

Oct 26: meh, the normal monday double shift, some guy from a radio station interviewed me while seeing how messy my car was and seeing what I had in it. slept in the living room, on the bed that was pulled off my top bunk. It was awesome.

I have figured out that I need to blog more often so I don't forget what happened.... lol

Oct 8: Honestly at this point the 8th is a blur, I think the only thing worth mentioning was how I blogged on the train.... lol

Oct 9: worked a double, afternoon waitress, evening cashier.... Then went to a dance that was WAY lame, left to hang out w/ a friend of mine, his friend, and his friends GF, where @ taco bell ridiculously late, it was fun :)

Oct 10: worked, got all depressed, but went to BREATHE CAROLINA anyway, CASH CASH was awesome as was FAMILY FORCE 5.... there were two no-name bands, I-rival and Queens Club, followed by Cash Cash, then Breathe Carolina (whom I went to see) and Family Force 5. By the time Breathe Carolina came onstage I was basically in row 3 of the pit, then Kyle stood on the fence thing that kept us fans away from the stage, I got to touch him lol, it was so cool. After the show I got to see and hug Kyle and David from Breathe Carolina :)

Oct 11: Went to Family Home Evening using the train, didn't realize you couldn't go up in the elevator without a tenet... real classy place, made me feel even more poor. A guy I go to church with then gave me a ride back to my car, we got lost, it was really nice of him though.

Oct 12: double shift, Prison Guard friend in town. Changed oil that night, figured out it takes me 45mins w/o putting forth any effort to be fast. Also, I do not have to jack up my car, and I didn't get oil on the ground :)

Oct 13: double shift

Oct 14: Went to the fair w/ my Church's Women's organization, The Relief Society.

Oct 15: SPANISH HOMEWORK! I HATE SPANISH HOMEWORK! I had forgotten to do my test and got my teacher to open it back up and spent from 930-12 madly working on it and begging for help. :(

Oct 16: got fired from my wait job, kinda relieved about it honestly.... was really hating it there and they had really stopped giving me hours.

Oct 17: slept in my car and got woken up by jets flying overhead b/c of a navy game?!?!

Oct 18:Got to go to an awesome family's house for dinner, had a great time :)

Oct 19: Double Shift, Made fortune cookies w/ my phone # as the “lucky number”

Oct 20: Double Shift, My Prison Guard friend is in town.

I wonder if my day-paragraphs will average long or short as time goes by...

I feel oh-so-hip, as I am sitting on the light rail train blogging. Sure I can't actually upload it, but I am still typing it lol.

Oct 2: after going to work I have to rush home, get my roomie and stuff I forgot to pack and rush back to where we both work, I was basically the manager on call which wasn't too bad, except that like 45 minutes before the store closes I go outside to nap for 30... I get woken up minutes before my alarm has a chance to sound and when I go inside its madness... Everything is a mess, I have to run three deliveries before I can start countdown, they forgot to make cookies and someone removed my cheat sheat on how to close the registers from the safe. Also, My bro was supposed to be relatively close and I was going to get to see him.... that didn't happen. I salvage everything as much as my emotional state will allow, and then me and my roomie head an hour north to work on a set for an awesome band. I worked all night painting and measuring and doing math (I was the mathematician of the bunch, which was saying a lot, since I HATE math)

Oct 3: I get another 30 minute nap this morning, rush to work, was late because I don't speed as much as the people who where telling me how long It would take to get down there. After working about 3 hours I head back up there. I get to go to a fancy restaurant, I didn't have to pay a cent and I got AWESOME RARE steak and creme brule (sp??) :). The band was rained out :( but I got to listen to the put on a little mini performance for us.

Oct 4: Woke up too late to go to church, Conference wouldn't work on safari, loaded up Firefox, watched most of the second Sunday session but then had to leave to take a roomie to work... partway into the drive I find out he didn't bring his uniform, there is no way I can get him home and to work on time and I have somewhere to be, then there is a cluster of stupidity and lack of communication whilst trying to connect up with the van. I make it to the Canterbury house during the sermon so I missed the first part of service.

Oct 5: SAW ZOMBIELAND!!!! It was AWESOME!!!! and it got me and two of my best friends to talking about who would survive a zombie apocalypse. Oct 6 is not part of my memory.... OH!! I just went to panda express w/ my friend who comes up on his “weekends”, got my schedules and the check from one job, and rode the train and bus home after an EXTREMELY slow night at work.

Oct 7: WENT TO THE STATE FAIR!!!!!! It was pretty sweet. I spent way too much money, My friend and I ate the 8 fried food that where on the challenge and fried butter isn't as bad as you would think.... there's lots of batter so its like buttered fried bread?? That prob didn't help... we also shared fried oreos which where pretty good.... As we where leaving there was a band performing right outside the gate, they where pretty cool, they are called Dallas Family Band, and they invited me to play their itty bitty baby grand... I played for them one song, it was pretty sweet, they are basically a bohemian band that just let people play with them, and they just show up places they can get away with playing out. I think I may try to get involved a bit, even if I just show up, play the (car) keys and attempt so sing harmony :).

THE FIRST POST!!!!

I kept telling people that my life was so crazy that I should write a book. Well, a blog is a lot easier, less time consuming, and cheaper. I will recap this couple of weeks, and then go from there, is that cool? Awesome, it doesn't matter your response at this point, once you are reading this it is too late and this post is completed.
First off, background info. I work 2 jobs and take 16credits. The 20th I had an awesome life changing experience and I have been consistently less depressed. I live w/ 4 other people and more animals than I care to count. OK, I think thats enough.... Let's go! :)

Sept 23: My car was scraped by the van my roomie was driving when he backed out of the driveway

Sept. 24: I got to go w/ my BFF to a free, advance screening of whip it! It was an awesome movie and made me really want to get involved with a violent sport..... (for the record, I almost joined women's rugby last year, but didn't have time b/c of theatre)

Sept 25: I got to go to my first real party that wasn't a theatre party, Was going to see Human Groove Hormone (who are awesome!) but we got shut down b/c of noise, then I chilled w/ my BFF on the trunk of my car, after which we went to the convenience store to get drinks B4 the long ride home and then chilled w/ the cashier for like 40 mins. He is now a facebook friend, so it is official. Also, got like 2 hours sleep b4 work.

Sept 26: I had to pick up a roomie from work b/c he was way sick... got to take an amazing 15 min nap..... My joints are old, they were really hurting.... Found out there was a shooting less than a mile from my house. one wounded, two dead, shooter still on the loose.....

Sept 28: A cat puked on my bed, got a haircut, went downtown and as I was trying to park scraped a lexus (I drive a toyota camry....), locked my keys in the car..... then my BFF came and waited w/ me till another friend came w/ a key, then we all went to eat. once we where at the restaurant getting out of the car (15-20 mins away) we realize my BFF left her purse (w/ her entire identity in it) in the parking lot of a major city.... On our way back to it we call the police to see if they will go look, and they wouldn't, upon arrival we find said purse!!

Sept 29: I woke up hours b4 normal, smelt weed on the train, finally got a school ID and bus pass, and convinced her boss (after working a closing shift only once) to let her close AND count down the registers.

Sept 30: I was informed I had 3 days off b/c of a misunderstanding, and therefore can see HGH (Human Groove Hormone) play as well as be crew. Also found out my Bro would basically be in town, Had an awesome experience w/ the bank where both checks I deposited were immediately available so I could actually pay rent, talked to the man in charge of the Canterbury house up here, randomly met a guy and got his #, went to a diff guys house to watch a soccer game (I don't have TV) and then instead of crashing at his place or falling asleep at the steering wheel I slept in the car.

*Oct 1: I got soaked (while wearing a dark bra and light work shirt) on a delivery and only got a $2 tip, when I got back to the store a nice frat boy gave me a dry shirt, changing my formerly completely negative opinion of frat guys. I realized there was a $2 bill in the register, so made sure that my tip was in one bill :) I also ended up closing even though I was supposed to get off at 9.

ok.... I think that is all for now, If i change or add anything I will make a note of it. I will add a post any day something random, epic, or fail occurs, so check back often :)

Oh, also, these posts will probably be posted pretty late.... Right now I feel like I am about to fall asleep, so if there is grammatical errors, I'm kinda sorry, but really don't care.

*LOL, a friend pointed out that I had posted this paragraph as NOV 1......
