Memories By Inner Light

Skipping my biology lecture tonite. I'm tired, hungry and need parental guidance (one of the few times you'll hear me say that outloud)

I have so much paperwork to do it's unreal. *hates paperwork* *has scars from the LAST time I had to do this nonsense* it's all so complex and different! BAH! Humbug!

I'm in Cafe Diem  currently. Watching Quaere eat an ungrilled chicken caeser panini...and now it's just me and the panini. it smells good.  no worries, quaere I didn't touch it heheheheh.

It's absurdlycold in here...which is a bad thing...because it's unseasonably cool outside. *shivers down spine and legs* *goosebumps* i want to be snuggled up with a comforter and some hot coco...and my boyfriend....i really want to snuggle with my boyfriend....i miss him...............................................alot............................................right now....

Thats it! I'm going home!

 I decided to join the Society for Barefoot Living. The obvious reason is that I LIKE going barefoot. The second reason is that i just felt like it and it seemed like something fun to do! Yes i kno it's very random, but w/e. What's life without a little spontaneity!? eh? Also...membership was free (*feels that this revelation somewhat taints my "innocent" motives*) which is good because i can't pay for any more stuff right now. As it is i NEED Julian's birthday present to get it's butt here STAT.

Oy, just checked Amazon. It's not gonna be shipped until october....no freakin way.....*sigh* I'll get him something else then and make that his Christmas present....woo! which reminds me...i need to start my shopping NOW so that come Christmas i don't have to freak when my bank account goes kaput.

Classes this semester...have ceased to wow me...i was wowed for about...10 minutes....now i'm done. I just wanna get to break...what's the coundown look like. Dec 18? is the last day? today's the 9th? 3 months and..9 days *wipes face with hands*

COming up in my next post! The return of my Anime Review:Post Summer Edition!

For now!
Ciao~

*ahem*
I'm officially 19 years old. today. yes. it is my birthday.

I have gotten....a...LOT of wonderful wonderful birthday wishes and I would like to take the time to thank everyone all over again for the truly thoughtful well wishes. It meant alot and i was pleasantly surprised to see just how many people wished me well. it was very touching. Thank you again.

I must say, (reflecting on the day as a whole) that it was a resounding success. Not just emotionally, but i got a lot done and still managed to have a wonderful evening with my family. I worked, i studied and i played hard. I'm feeling it but its a great feeling of tired and accomplished. Hopefully once i'm a nurse I'll be able to come home feeling like this most nights.

I think the weirdest feeling is knowing that next year....i'll be 20 years old. thats two DECADES. Not only that but it'll signify a whole new realm of life around the corner. Marriage, carreer, family changes, financial changes, alot of things really. I think i'm just a little incredulous, and awestruck....who'd have thought it would come so quickly?

Mmmmmmm *thinking*

well i have to check my schedule for when and where i have to be and then i have to play more SPore and do some reading (*grin*)

so I'll take my leave and wake up tomorrow one year closer to that future...weird feeling.....huh...

Note the above Key term that i'm staring at in my sociology class at this moment. Class hasn't started yet. Students are still trickling in slower and slower as the room slowly fills up.

It makes you wonder whether EVERYONE is looking for their own social fit. Maybe some people (i'd like to think of myself as one of these people) who really isn't LOOKING for a fit. They just kinda want to live, unimpeded and graciously unintterupted.

Perhaps it is that thought in itslef that causes 'the search" however i am skeptical. Profs here gotta fly!


Later!

Yesterday was psycho. I got up around 5 and didn't stop moving until around 2am this morning. Yes...i kno....and i'm tired.......

Yesterday was awesome tho. I successfully combated the loneliness and al was really awesome (i stopped by to see/talk to him) and he was tired but everything was alright.


I'm so tired...i don't know what else to say....haha....ugh...*falls over back into bed*

My deepest sympathies go to my friend and her family, I know perhaps you're tired of hearing it and would rather move on, but I can't feel right inside without expressing my deepest condolences on your loss.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We went on our mini roadtrip on saturday and it ended up going into sunday which was awesome. I'm glad i made a (good hopefully) impression on his aunt and uncle. I really love those people they are amazing.

Al was amazing too. I loved waking up, walking a room down and poking my head in to say good morning.  He's so handsome when he's asleep(almost as handsome as he is when he's awake Hee hee)... i could just sit and watch him for hours...i don't care if it sounds stalkerish...i'm his girlfriend i'm allowed to stare at him as long as i want(or until my eyes dry up, whichever comes first).

We had a great time. We got to test out the new hot tub with uncle john and auntie cathy. We had many hours of delightful laugter and conversation. Something i needed desperately. I met their cats all 12 of them and loved them all.

Auntie Flo arrived on time but amidst the good cheer and wonderful company, her evil machinations were rendered harmless.  We hit traffic going home and I just managed to squeak into church on time for the 5pm mass. but all and all the whole trip was a resounding success. Al got me a beautiful necklace and i love it to bits. I also got a new purse at an environmentally friendly store (w/e that means)in historic Smithsville. I got presents for Al and the family. And managed to not break the budget.

We were afraid at first because it had rained so hard on our way down on Saturday but luckily everything cleared up into a B-E-A-UTIFUL day. I hear that North you guys got hit pretty hard....my sympathies.

The only downside...Auntie Flo has worn. me.out. I am absolutely exhausted.

so on that note, i will wrap this post up and go back to the grind (unwillingly) tomorrow  morning.

Good news: We got invited back! So hopefully in a few weeks we'll be heading back down there.

Ciao

Today is the first day of April, looking back on my post sched. for march i realized that I WAS TWO SHORT OF A PERFECT MONTH!!!! *weeps* i was so aiming for it...*sigh* haha o well, that just means i'll try extra hard this month. Hopefully it'll be a little easier for me to since everything's gonna start winding down towards finals.

I'm exhausted. There really is only one word (i think) that describes the weather today....clammy....it feels like a giagantic clammy hand wrapped around me constantly and it's....really sweaty and gross (not me...the atmosphere). Today I will be job hunting more, i scouted places yesterday but didn't pick up any applications. I'm weighing my options and trying to decide where i'm going to be most comfortable..

I've started watching heroes again. For w/e reason I randomly watched the first couple episodes of the second season and now i'm looking to catch up where i left off in the first season. ....I'm addicted again...

I have a persuasive speech due tomorrow and I've done none of it. I at least have my sources picked out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I just got in. and we had to walk back to the parking deck b/c waiting was....ridiculous. There were i kid you not easily ten yellow school buses and more on the way clogging up our station so heather and i looked at each other and shrugged.

fifteen minutes later i was frizzy haired soggy and feeling clammy and got in my car ans drove home. Now I've set up some of my work and i really should finish it so i'm gonna do that.

*yawns*
*stretches*
Laterz peeples!

I can't honestly remember sitting still for very long at all this weekend. Between going to courts, dinner with al's family, church, then movies then coming home and gettign ready for bed there's been soo much going on and i actually liked it. I liked being in the rush for once instead of standing outside and watching it whirl around others while leaving me out.

Actually i have to call someone about workign today so I can't type long, just long enough to say HappY monday and...o crap I have another speech to do!!! and it's Due wed! Crud.

O well it'll be a quickie!

FIVE WEEKS LEFT UNTIL SUMMER BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!

*WHOOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

*dances happyness*

I really like the campus here. Court and i hung out with her friends until around 11:30ish. Then we came back here and had a sisterly heart-to-heart. I missed those alot since she went away to school. I said some prayers before i slept and then i woke up around 8:30 and texted al for a litle bit. Everything's quieter here and alot less rushed, there seems to be time to do anything and everything just kinda takes it's own pace. I really like that. Really really like that.

her friends are sweet and we had fun. We watched Save the Last Dance and then talked intermittently of funny random things and then looks up weird videos on YouTube. haha.

Today Court and I (and maybe some of the girls) will be going into the town for some shopping and hangout picture times. ^_^

I should get dressed and start moving haha.

Laterz Peeps!

    Oh my god. My professor....is insane.....and...extremely jaded. -_____-.....so so so freakishly.....*mouth's open* i have no idea what word to use to describe this man's psychology....twisted...with a touch of sexual harassment....i think that's apt.

He just said something that I can't repeat, mostly bc i'm just trying to forget about it as quickly as possible.

and today as the saga of the permanent marker. Actually, this saga started *unbeknownst* to us, on Friday in class. Prof. T, wrote all over half of the board with a PERMANENT marker.  SO we get back to class today and ALL of our notes from Friday are STILL on the board. So we come in and i overhear one of the other students was talking about how he had a class in here and his professor was flipping out about the notes being in permanent marker.

So when Prof. T. comes in he's delighted that the notes are still there....until he tries to erase it.....then we tel him about the permanent marker and he just kinda shrugs it off and tries to place the blame on "modern technology"...i.e. a dry erase board and marker.....-___-...
so Then! he goes to write on the board with the SAME marker he was using on Friday *facepalm*...so a brave soul speaks up and tells him...and then he finally finds an actual dry erase marker and the class proceeds on as normally as possible...barring that CRAZY comment he made before....O.O....he's crazy! that's what it is! hahaha

O well!

Note to self:

FILL YOUR TANK ON THE WAY HOME OR YOUR CAR WILL STOP WORKING!!!!!

okay,, hopefully it'll sink in this time hahaha.

Tonight, i'm SUPPOSED to have a walk with al, but i'm not really gonna hold my breath, we haven't had one in two weeks, and he's been really busy lately. So...it won't surprise me if we can't today. I was a little dissapointed the last two weeks, but i'm just learning to step back and make myself scarce when he needs time. So yesterday, i wasn't upset at all. I missed him, but i wasn't upset....

It's just for the next two years. Then stuff should relax a bit *hopefully* i don't expect it to go back to the way it used to be...but i expect a maturer romantic sensibility. Not that we'll be less romantic...hopefully we'll be more so. Just something a little more grown up..more focused on the long term goals. It wll be great! Once we get there ^_^. I can wait as long as he needs me to.

*sigh* i should really pay more attention haha...so i'm gonna go.

laterz!

Haha, well it was an excitign day by the time it ended yesterday. I visited with the girlies. We went to Panera bread. The weather was pretty rainy and slick out.

And then I went to Al's. We were fine for a while hung out and talked to his sister, her birthday is tomorrow. And then we went shopping and did some more minor things. We were trying to keep under wraps the information about her surprise party which was hard to do.
But   the wind started getting really bad and just as he and his mom and i were just going to start cooking dinner when we heard a HUGE straining crack and then we ran to the window and looked and saw a huge explosion. A huge tree had been blown over and blew up the transformer across the street, and then all of the power went out.

haha it was scary and fun at the same time. scary b/c  they closed bother sides of the street and there were tons of cops/ambulances/and firghtfigthers. On the fun side, it was very romantic, we had a cold dinner by candlelight, he serenaded me with the acoustic guitar, and we snuggled on the couch until my ride came to "get" me. truthfully i would have rather stayed there and just slept quietly, comfortably in his arms. I could be there for ever. It was the most romantic mood we'd been in for a while and it was nice to get back to the basics with lovely scented candles, a blanket and nowhere to go, nothing to do, except talk, and be together.

today was alright. I had church, then lunch, then nothign for a while...some time to chill out, then my dad dropped me off so i could pick up my car and al and I hung out for a while and played video games, it was alot of fun.

Now i'm tired! haha so sweet dreams everyone!

~T

you sing it Elton John!  You have no idea how happy i am that today is a WEEKEND day. It makes me wanna jump up and join in the song mehself.

At the moment I'm doing nothing so exciting. I'm cleaning my room, but TONITE there will be boyfriend sightings a little after 5. Then! i come home go to church in the morning see al again and we'll go do something fun like...ice skating...or...sledding. or maybe watch a horrifically scary film (not really that scary just if it's the first time you see it *me=desensitized*)

wooooah...looking at me right now you would have no idea how hyper my brain...it seems that this hyper disease has evolved into quite a hard thing to pin down. I'm not exhibiting any of the normal symptoms of hyperness. but in my brain there is MASS CHAOS! and what's even BETTER is that I REALLY AM ENJOYING THIS. XD *bounces once in her chair for emphasizzle*...(emphasizzle? *facepalm* what am I ON?!?!?)

I'm currently trying to send mountains of unfinished manuscript to my laptop so i can become a mobile writer once again. Most of my best work was done on my first laptop until it went to the "Tech Support System" in the sky....*a moment of silence in reverent remembrance* *moment's over*

I am serious this time about getting more of my writing done now that i have a laptop once again. SO here i am. ^_^

And here I go! I just remember i have to finish something....chore related that's nagging me, so i'd better go an do it before i forget that i need to do something...(tho i'll be a cold cucumber if i can remember what the SOMETHING is...just that i have to do it.........there must be crack in the tap water....that's the answer...)

Ok!
Toodles!

 Okay so i've been feeling much better lately and got to finished some hw so i deceded to post another anime review and comment some more on my life thus far. 

So it's tuesday, I went to my class tomorrow i have work. 

I was thinking about baby names yesterday....for no reason really, i read baby names books for fun and especially when I'm thinking about new character ideas when I write, so, that's why usually. and I came up with a really cool boy's name you ready for this? Sylvan. I think it's so cool.  Al and I "talk" about baby names on and off and we both really like the name "Jade" for a girl, one of my favorite names for a girl is Linnea Elise. Al and I both like "Seth for a boy and I'll have to ask him about Sylvan. Haha, it's just so interesting how people's ideas about names change and especially the kinds of names people like. For instance, my friend Court likes tomboyish names or names that can be shortened, and still be kinda girly, so she likes names like "Veronica" aka "Ronnie". Both Al and I have unusual names so we both gravitate towards unusual names, like Jade or Linnea, something different that not everyone has, mostly because we both really like our names and like how it's set us apart from the 20 billion jennifers, megans, and katies, or the 50 billion bobs, johns, and joes. 

It would be interesting to hear more about what you guys look for in names. ^_^ Let me know ^_^

I could smell spring this morning, the sun came though my window and by the time i got on campus that familiar spring feeling seemed to cut throught eh winter drabbness like a warm gentle sigh in a cold refrain. Life seems to be comign bak into the world finally and i can feel the stretch as it wakes up and gets ready to grow. It's an awe-inspiring feeling.  Like being a thread in a tapestry.

Anyway, enough philosophical jibber jabber! 

and onto the anime review!

Title: Midori Days!
Episodes: 13 (full show)
Seasons: 1 i guesstimate
Summary: Apart from being one of the more unsual love stories I've watched recently, this was teh first anime i've seen in a while that has a really fat cat in it, that makes multiple appearances...and is therefore a source of continual mirth throughout this series. Tought guy, Sejii, wakes up one morning with a little more than high school acne to worry about. It seems as through some sort of magic a girl has replaced his right hand! Talk about freakish! As the story unfolds we learn that the girl's name is midori and that she's had a HUGE crush on  Mr. Tough  Guy for three years now. We also learn that her original body has slipped into a strange coma, and is unable to be wakened. This cute anime is your typical fare for most romantic comedies, but it's presented in a rather unconventional way and makes the whole things much more enjoyable. There is some nudity, some alchohol and cigarrettes, but other than that the show itself is rather harmless. The characterization of each individual character is fantastic, but all and all their relationships, mostly how they interact with one another is largely left unembellished which takes away from the story and from the "romance".  Still it's funny and enjoyable. The story is pretty base, if you're looking for a Romeo and Juliet type romance look elsewhere. but if you're looking for some good clean silliness, you've come to the right place. 

Rating: 2 1/2 outta 5 Onigiri

 Okay, so i liked doing that review and i just finished Chobits recently so i figured i'd humor myself (and my boredom) with another review.

Title: Chobits
Number of Episodes: 26
No films
Seasons: probably more of a small mini series so i'd wager a 1/2 a season

Summary: Abysmal Student and Country Boy, Hideki, finally makes it into college...or so he thinks. the reality of the situation is that he's in tokyo for cram school, and doing pretty badly at that too. Besides being a country boy in a big city, hideki learns about all the technology he's missed out on, while he was still taking care of cows, specifically Personcons (exceptionally human like androids) and of course, wants one desperately. So, when he finds one laying in the trash he immediately takes it home and that's where our story begins. Enter Chi, a most unusual Perscon with very human like qualities, with a penchant for accidently shorting out other persocons and electronic appliances innocently and comically, much to the chagrin of poor Hideki, who above all else is a compulsive neurotic worrier. There are a lot of sexual innuendos in this series, so it's not for the kiddies, and while there is relatively no violence, the story tends to strain at some parts making pieces of it drag a bit. The story is passable, and the likeableness of the characters carries it's weak spots through okay enough. The plot is short, and in 26 episodes they cover a lot of ground. The relationship btwn Hideki and Chi is not as strong as eveyone seems to assume and by the time the series closes, I was left wondering if it made sense. *shrugs* still and all, Hideki's neurotic behavior and talking to himself, and Chi's irrepressable innocence and happiness, makes this show a nice respite from the day to day doldrums.

Rating: 4 outta 5 Onigiri

I'm tired....and i still didn't do much today. tomorrow I'll be spending the day with the bf so it should be fun and i have to remember to take those movies back to the library they're over due -____-....*sigh*....anyways.

I'm pooped out and kinda lonely. everyone had somewhere to go tonite, or something to do (that wasn't a group thing) so i'm sittin up here by myself debating about whether i want to keep watching either Love Hina, or Hand Made May and finish it. obviously there doesn't seem to be anything pressing terribly on my time at the moment, since i've been considering this option for the last 20 minutes or so. 

O! i didn't tell anyone but i'll be starting an Anime Review Guide somtime soon. scattered thoughout my entries, very now and again after i finish a show i'll give a breif summary of the show (no spoilers i promise!) how many episodes total. How many seasons, and my rating (from zero to five rice balls....in japanese rice balls are called onigiri so if i say onigiri, now you know ^_^)

So i figured i'd kick off this little venture with my very first review posted tonite, i picked an easy one, FMA so read and enjoy:

Title: Full Metal Alchemist
Number of Episodes: 51 (and one full length movie as a continuation story so round it up to 52)
Number of seasons: approx. 1 (i guess)

Summary: FMA, is the tale of two orphaned brothers trying to do the impossible while staying close to one another and dodging death, disaster and the government rife with political intrigue, making this plotline juicy with tons of twists and turns. Obviously Alchemy is involved and is a HUGE aspect of the series. There is graphic violence, if you're squeamish this is DEFINITELY NOT a show for you. But if you can get past the squirting blood you'll find a wonderfully written story that is as action packed as it is emotionally stimulating. The series starts out a little slow but it's comedic aspects carry us along willingly until all hell starts to break loose in the mid to late 20's episodes (maybe 22, 25ish?).  The array of characters is varied and colorful ranging from the height conscious Edward Elric (who HATES milk and is NOT short) to the enigmatic Colonel Mustang, and the kind-hearted Alfonse Elric who loves kittens. Definately not a show to miss!

Rating: 5 outta 5 Onigiri

YESTERDAY WAS AWESOME!!!! I LOVE MY BOYFRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was our "psudeo" anniversary yesterday meaning it's actually tomorrow but in the interests of time we decided to bump it up to Sunday and celebrate it then. 

Anyways! I get to my Bf's house and he greets me with a kiss a hug and a blindfold.....I went O.O? what's that for? He said you have you wait until we get in the car to find out. Okie doke.

In the car. He puts the blind fold on. When he takes teh blindfold off I'm standing exactly where we sat together on our first date, he has a blanket and a picnic basket, a dozen roses, and best of all himself standing there smiling. It was absolutely perfect. I was surprised and it was just soooooooo romantic and wonderful and just *happy sigh* so Al it was just....amazing. We walked around and talked about our first date and what we were thinking that day and how we were feeling. Al showed me more of The Manor's grounds and we took some more pictures which was awesome.

Then we went home and got some extra snuggle time in a home made Sheet/chair/ tent with tons of pillows and junk food and watched "The Kid" and snuggled until around 10:30 (hee hee) which in reality b/c of DST was 11:30, but on the clock it said 10:30! Which was AWESOME!

Saturday was awesome too! We went to the Bosco BC Football game and were out really late which was still kosher b/c we were with my parents and my bro and his gf. It was just so awesome.  MY WHOLE WEEKEND KICKED BUTT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVED IT!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even school today was awesome. We learned about all kinds of cool stuff giving me all kinds of ideas for my books and psych was really interesting too.

Now i have some work to do, so I'll be busy for a bit, but i'm in an AWESOME FREEEEEEKIN mood!

~T.

Soo cute!



this is so true.

~T.

The last two days went racing past so quickly that it took me until this morning in psych to realize that i hadn't posted...more importantly that i should post so everyone knows i'm alive haha. 

Goosey Night was...kinda not too hot. but Halloween turned out awesome. we trick-or-treated throughout my old haunts (no pun intended but implied ^_^) and got loads of candy. The best part was knowing that a year prior i had been so nervous and scared and shy i could barely make eye contact with Al and now it's coming up on our one year Anniversary. It's so excting ^_^

Today was...bleh....it's one of those transitional days btwn and after holidays that everyone would be very happy about if suddenly they didn't exsist. but in the case of reality, they do and as a result i was rather cranky especially about getting up extra early for psych when i had walked about four miles the night before and every bone in my body was cursing me for my lack of excercise hitherto Halloween. 

Yea, the subject we're covering right now in psych is sleep and dreaming. and it is very interesting, it makes me yawn alot,.....which is kinda weird but w/e. I found out that i am sleep deprived (officially now, mind you, before then i thought it was just destined to sleep my life away....go figure). They had a checklist in my book about about 15 things that kinda were like this:

If you need an alarm clock to wake up
If you are grumpy in the mornings
If you feel tired throughout the day
If you hit the snooze button multiple times before you get up
If you struggle to wake up and stay awake.
yatta....yatta...yatta....
and I was sitting there with my pencil going, *check* *check* *check*...um, *def. check* *check check*  i get down to the bottom of the page and it says, "if you checked 3 or more of these you are suffering from sleep deprivation."
I was.....-______-......"No really, sherlock, tell me something i don't know." so it did. It told me that i need to go to bed 15 minutes earlier I usually do for the whole week and then add another 15 minutes the next week and so on until I feel completely rested and I do not have to struggle to wake up in the morning. neat stuff...if icould remember exactly what time i usually go to bed around....since...it fluctuates (which as I read in my almighty texbook is also a bad thing...*sheesh*)  so i guess i'll try and try that starting next week. *schlumps over*

I also learned that I am an abnormal freak (i mean...erm, more abnormally freakish than i orignally thought.) mostly b.c i have crazy ass dreams that are NOTHING like what most scientists and researchers documented in NORMAL people.....so I'm resigned to my fate as a freak dreamer (a FREAMER!!! yay!) I often have dreams where i die (like all the way get shot and die die), where i know NO one in the dream, i am not in the dream at all, I'm watching two people like a movie, or I am a different person entirely....supposedly that's not normal at all....wooo me. hahaha

Anyhooo...............*awkward silence*.....work was poop today. I didn't like it much. boring and nasty....ok tips but the boss was his usual cranky self. Yesterday he took Valium before going to the doctors so he was all goofy and loopy and random and it was funny b/c he's usually so cranky...well today he made up for it....*grrrs*

That's my day...tomorrow doesn't look so hot either but i'll give it a blast anyway haha.

Nitey Nite
~T bird

This morning i discovered my car has an alarm.....the hard way. I got into my car sat down, touched the knob of the radio before turning the  car on and

WEEEEOOOOOWWWWEEEEEOOOOOO WWEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Meanwhile I'm sitting in my car screaming like a maniac b/c it scared the crap out of me. I'm just sittin there in my drivers seat:

OH MY GOD! WHAT DID I DO! OMG! AAAAAAAHHHHH WHAT DID I DO! MAKE IT STOP!!!! AAAHHH HOW DO I TURN IT OFF! I"M SORRY I"M SORRY!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHH!

meanwhile my nextdoor neighbor is coming out of his house and he sees this. I can only imagine what he thought hahaha.It was so funny in retrospect. but...haha at the time it certainly woke me up from the stupor i'd been in....

BRRRR it was FREEEZING today on campus!!!! I froze my tush off! (LITERALLY!) I had my psych midterm today...I'm eh about it, I don't know how i did, but I know that i studied and then i look at the test and my brain went....O.O.....*wind whistling* *tumbleweeds rolling*....*crickets*......But we got outta there  nice and early so a friend of mine and I grabbed a quick hot coco and bumped into heather on our way.

Went to class, sat through mythology. it was fun and cool and everything, got out, met up with heather grabbed some junk food (now i wish i'd eaten a sandwhich.....) and sat chit-chatting for a little while, until we bumped into some guy from Elizabeth H.S. who happened to overhear our convo about MB. Funny how where ever you go you end up meeting up with people who were in MB. I'm beginning to believe that everyone is a closet band geek at heart...or you're the cold plastic type...and you don't need one so it all works out.

Then we had to stop at webster hall to fix her cell. and we were coming out of the student center and she gets WEDGED IN THE REVOLVING DOOR!!!!!! My heart almost stopped beating! I just see her laughing  with half her body btwn the door and half still in the student center and i went "OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" (we had a previous close call and from then on i knew it was only a matter of time before it actually happened, but i was still totally unprepared for it to happen today...which would explain my reaction. -____-'''''')

BUT! The best part of my day was def. seeing the bf after school. It was nice and he was in a pretty good mood so that put me in an awesome mood. He's def. happier which makes me happy too.

SUNDAY IS OUR ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS!

Just thought i'd throw that out there

O! I gotta run to babysitting Money for the broke college girl!! yay!
Toodles
~T.

First post yay! I wrote this itty bitty slice of life (no pun intended of course) piece about life in a restaurant...particularly my new job. I hope you like it.  Let me know what you think. Trust me if you hate it it's ok. I don't care. I will remind you however, that although it is LIKE my life. It ISN'T my life. That's where it becomes a story and not an autobiography. So please think before you comment on how miserable a life i have. I really like it and any boredom is purely for dramatic effect. ^_^ Bon Appetite! 

And so it begins....

The ominous rumblings of a yet unspent summer thunder shower still hung heavily over the corner luncheon on a sticky frizzy day in late July. It was another exciting day at the corner luncheon. Number of customers zero, well one if you counted th coffee to-go order. Tips? Meager change, scrounged for with accompanying irritated sigh and roll of eyes as change was thrust into the now unwilling (and yet still open) palms of the solitary waitress who promptly dropped the "tip" into the tip bowl with a guilty, half dead ka-chink. Resuming her current task at hand, she again perched herself on a bar-stool overlooking the counter and stared into her plate.

From some dark very uninterested corner of her consciousness she could hear the crunch and chomp of her only other companion as he nibbled away at his sandwich. He was a new cook...very new.She looked at the half raw hamburger in front of her and heaved a plaintive pitiful sigh. It had smelled so good too. Now, staring at the sunken over-pink melting meat wad before her, she was reminded again of all those terrifying cow diseases that she could contract (mostly exaggerated by a sufficiently bored imagination that was even by nature prone to blowing things out of proportion) and the mere suggestion of one mad frothing cow was enough to prompt her to apply the analogy to herself and come up with a slightly scary, thought vaguely humorous picture of a frothing waitress. She chuckled lightly and with a shrug, downed the burger without a second thought. At least if she was frothing it would break up the trend towards bland, blase, days that had become staple fare now that the summer was fully summer, and the excitement of school being out had sufficiently tired itself out as had lapsed into the usual mid-summer laziness...with the naturally accompanying boredom.

She looked over at her companion hunched over his sandwich. He looked back with a nervous crumbly smile, and resumed his meal. Funny how his food was never undercooked, she thought, but felt it unnecessary to press the matter. What did she care? To whom would she complain?

Their boss had left for the afternoon for a smoke and errands. He wouldn't be back until the dinner rush. Clock check! Not for another two hours...all sense of excitement suddenly evaporated. She rested her chin on the counter and tried to look spellbound by the shiny silverware.She eyed the tip bowl with disdain. Maybe 75 cents total if she was lucky...whoever said that she would make good tips here should go forth and eat one of New Cook's hamburgers as punishment.

It was with great reservations that she moved from her spot. The thinking being that the hamburger may not like being moved around, since it already got jipped out of being cooked (that makes for an especially angry burger). But in the end the whole absurdity of having her will submitted to raw meat quickly priced her pride and with a swivel and a hop she was off to get the book she had brought.

When the boss got back, New Cook was still nibbling his sandwich, and with the self-same crumbly smile, pointed towards the nearest bathroom when asked where the Solitary Waitress was. In the end, meat had vanquished...leaving a much wiser...and much lighter waitress in it's stead.
