Johnny's shop!

Hey I helped Johnny make a shop so he can have some extra cash. He came up with some pretty awesome stuff too! He did the ideas, I did the art. TAG TEAM YAY!!

<-- here it is!

So far he's made about $3 bucks... haha.... ^^;; and all but 30 cents of that was stuff I bought.

dunn dun dunn dun dun!

..that was my evil overlord music, in case you missed it.

evil overlord of grammatical errors.
and spelling errors.
erronious.

sooo...my last blog post is now incorrect because taco bell changed their prices for summer. and i'm thrilled! but now i look like someone who can't count. actually i look like someone who can't use a calculator. sad. so yeah.. those burritos i like WERE $1.50 for a while.. now they are back to 99 cents...which they actually already were - prior to being 1.50.. taco bell thought they could do like gas prices and hopped on the inflation bandwagon. but i just stopped going there when they were 1.50, and they noticed no one was buying them anymore... (really it was just me, but shhh don't tell them) so they dropped it back down and did a whole advertising thing so i'd come back. nice, i know...

and my calculator is broken (lets not talk about that now) so i can't tell you how much my year of burritos everyday would cost at the cheaper price... unless i go into the handy accessories section on my computer.. but who wants to do that?!
good thing i went to school...haha.

i was going to try to pick blogging back up because i noticed it's material i could use if i ever take up stand up comedy (shut up it's true!). but on a new blog... because logging in and out of my old and new google accounts is just soo much work.

so hey

i recently had to change e-mails and this blogger account is linked with the e-mail that i lost... >_> so just fyi, i can't update it often.


but in other news i'm excited to find out that if i could afford to eat taco bell for a whole year on just one paycheck :) yep, best news ever.

if i ate a burrito from taco bell every day for a year it would cost a grand total of $547.50 (actually right now that's about a months worth of pay because i'm cutting back my hours...) BUT!!! given the fact that i don't eat taco bell every day, this means that i'm saving a tremendous amount of money in the long run and can finally fullfil my life-long dream of buying a private island
just kidding....it's more like a 15 minute long dream from since i found this particular how-to...i love how-to's


and before you call me a fatty and tell me about the documentary about the dummy who ate grease sandwiches or whatever for every meal, let me tell you i'm an extremly healthy individual!! ......okay that's a lie, but i have good motabolism and i've been doing okay on weekly taco bell so far.... soo yeah...

i guess that's about it... i will probably start a new blog using my new e-mail account to make for easy access. don'tcha just love google? (don't answer that)

so untill then, later!

woah what's this?

so it's spring and i'm working on my fake tan and hating my job and super busy... nothing new. but i'm blogging anyway?

i changed the url on my shop to http://www.cafepress.com/bbpd
it's easier to type than 'nemuiPanda05'. so yeah... that url won't work anymore.
i need to make some business cards i think...

i opened a savings account :D yesssss. i'm awesome. the guy at the bank was a little awkward...i hate it when i can't tell if someone is flirting with me or not. i guess if i can't tell that they are flirting then they probably aren't. but if they aren't then why do i still feel awkward when a guy asks the exact location of the beauty supply where i work? weirdo.
a guy came in to where i work a few weeks ago and while i was ringing him up, out of no where, he's like "by the way, you're gorgeous. you're the only reason i come in this store." ... if only everyone were so forward! or maybe not...? i'm horrible at responding to any kind of flirting anyway... soo i guess that's why i haven't seen him since? haha...

here's something i made in my shop that i might actually purchase:

i'm all for not wasting paper and stuff.. but some people need to chill out and realize that trees grow back and create clean air and stuff all the time! that's how God made it and it's working just fine. *gets off soap box*

in other news...
i bought 2 suze orman books. i've been obsessing over them for a while now, and discovered a $30 giftcard that i had no idea that i had.. so i finally bought the books :) go me!
she kinda scares me.. too much "hip" jargon for her age... but hey, she knows what she's talking about! so i'll deal.

other than that......well there's lots going on. but i'm done typing for now.
VISIT MY SHOP IT'S AWESOME!

i have a feeling it will be a busy year

good lord january is over already!! i feel like i've been non-stop since new years... early morning dentist trips, working 30 hours a week, music practice or some other church event all evening.. EVERY SINGLE DAY! i have noooooooo free time!! i frequently find myself fantasizing about just organizing my closet, or doing my laundry, or even just sitting doing nothing! things i probably would have dreaded 5 years ago.

what i would really love to do is have time to go down to the beach and walk. but my work schedule is so intrusive to my whole life! i can't do much of anything because i have work hanging over my head every day.

i've been working on getting into the online art college.. but that is stressing me out too!! all these financial aid deadlines that i know nothing about...loans and stuff i'm afraid to think about. plus i hate talking on the phone still...especially with strangers. if my application isn't rejected for not filling out all the papers in time, i might be starting in mid february. i hope i have the time! jeez...

reaaaaaaally need to get a new job. i don't want to work so much. :( i need more "me" time.

and i hate sharing this god damn room. all these organizing fantasies are no good if i have no space to myself!!! grrrrrr.

quest for the tax return forms...OMGZ

hmm.. apparently the government doesn't want to give me money? SURPRISE! but seriously. it's like a flipping easter egg hunt just to find the forms!

this morning i went to 2 different post offices AND the library and i still don't have them. the post offices were no help at all. the first one said "oh you have to go to our MAIN post office for those" so i did. "oh aren't they out in the lobby?" i didn't see any "well that means we're out, sorry have a nice day" out? OUT? don't you have one back there you could just HAND me, instead of making me SEARCH! what is it like a limited time offer? once they're gone, they're gone till next year? WTF people?! GET IT TOGETHER! so then i went to the library... CLOSED! at 11 am on a friday? apparently no one needs books untill after 12:30 pm on friday.. uggggh.

not how i wanted to spend my day off. my one and only day off this whole week :( apparently the schedule is being changed again too.. jeez. but this morning i had to get up early to let the plumber in - out kitchen sink was broken. i was reaaaally wanting to sleep in on my day off, but noooo. T_T *sigh* then couldn't take a shower or do laundry, because the water had to be turned off. so that's half of my day off wasted already......

people need to stop giving me things to do!!!!

epiphany-ish moment

working my ass off for minimum wage with dental bills piling up.. actually they aren't really piling up, considering that the first one was 2 friggin grand, that's not piling that's like...exploding. but i figured out i can pay that off in 12 months if i pay $180 a month...which isn't too bad. but that means i can't quit my job any time soon......which sucks because i hate it sooo much now.

i don't want to be a cosmotologist anymore.. after this job, all the ones i've met are really fake, rude, and/or mean. so i've decided i don't want to go to school with these people and i definately don't want to work with them for the rest of my life! bleh. i'll just use my emplyee discount to buy some nice thinning sheers and stuff and keep doing what i've been doing - cutting hair for people i care about. aka friends and family only.

so i'm looking into an online art school. just gotta get the dental bills under control so i can start something like that... i don't like to dig myself in toooo deep financially. it'll be worth it though. then i can get a job designing websites for people. sooo many people i know need websites made. i'd even like one for myself for art and posting a resume to get commissions and such. so yeah. next goal! SCHOOL!

i have so much on my plate right now... i need another change - one with less responsibilities!!

californiaaaaa knows how to party

got my tattooooo~ i told you it would be soon! i love it. <3 i'll post a picture later maybe.

know what pisses me off? when people argue with you and don't even hear your point. they're just waiting till you're done talking to repeat their point again and again.
"why didn't you...?"
"no one told me"
"well you should have known!"
"well i didnt know"
"well you should have"
"how can i know if no one tells me?"
"you should have known"

.... T_T seriously?

i need to move out. badly. i hate sharing a room with a nazi, and i hate all the rediculous rules that don't make any sense.... cuz i'm gonna have sex in the front room while you're in the other room...?! NO! dumbasses.

i want my own room.. in my own appartment.. with my own furniture.. and my own puppy... <3 *sigh*

work blah blah blah *~

well now that minimum wage has gone up to $8.00 it would seem i'm working for minimum wage. :( that doesn't make me happy. i asked my manager if because of minimum wage going up if then our pay would go up.. and she pretty much side stepped my question by telling me how generous it was to start everyone out at $8 (back when it was .50 over min) so maybe she didn't understand my question? i don't know. but not happy...

come the end of this month i'll have had this job for 6 months! yikes, half a year.. i think i can probably only take another 6 months, then i'll have to find something better. my expenses for this year are already insane.

$730.90 for auto insurance.. which i'm gonna just pay all at once to get out of the way. then HOPEFULLY i can get a payment plan going for my $2160.00 dental bill! :x plus $100.00 (estimate) for a tattoo this week.. ahhh!! need more money! need to go back to schoooool.. oh nooo!

got information for a few art schools. i don't really want to be a cosmotologist anymore, as fun as that would be - art makes more money. which is fine. i like art too.. and hair stylists always have to be nice and talk to their clients.. if i'm doing graphic arts i can stay home and me a hermit...which sounds just lovely right now.
i wanna move out soooo bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i hate sharing a room.. no one knows how much of a bitch my sister can be...she's such a moody snob.
blaaaaaaaaah............so either art school in LA or San Fransico.. or music school in the UK... just gotta get out of here.

apparently i ♥ grammar [quiz]

You Scored an A

You got 10/10 questions correct. It's pretty obvious that you don't make basic grammatical errors. If anything, you're annoyed when people make simple mistakes on their blogs. As far as people with bad grammar go, you know they're only human. And it's humanity and its current condition that truly disturb you sometimes.

The It's Its There Their They're Quiz

pass the drugs plz .__.

sooo had 4 teeth pulled yesterday... was just going to get 1, but for the cost of anastisia (sleeping drugz) they said it would make more sense to go ahead and get all the problem ones out. so that's 2 infected ones and 2 wisdom teeth... one from each corner of my mouth (cuz mouths have corners). they left the other 2 wisdom teeth in hopes that they might fill in where the others were pulled...
so yeah.. my face is huge and swollen now :( the ice doesn't seem to be helping with that anymore.. and i have a meeting tonight (in 3 hours) and 8 hours of work tomorrow...ugh.

my shop is doing pretty well for the holidays though!

so that's something to be happy about.. i changed the layout n stuff, so it looks good.

i'm kinda glad i got all those teeth taken care of at once.. now i just have a few cavities to get filled and then i can get braces ^_^ and have a nice smile in a year or so. ..not sure if i still need those 5 root canals. hope not.

asdlkjfslkdfj

...you're in the middle of the ride...

lately i've been obsessing over "behind the ear" tattoos. ♥ ♥ ♥

so that being said, you can bet i'll have one within a few months... kind of like i was obsessing over monroe piercings for a while. it's all a matter of money.. but it might be my new year's gift to me.... i think yes! :)

so cute! everyone who doesn't have one says it should hurt really bad because it's on a bone - but one girl who actually has one said it didn't hurt. so those are good enough odds for me.

also this love-hate relationship with my job is wearing me out. i just hate working regular, boring, 9 - 5 jobs. i can't wait till i can just work at home on my computer and get paid big bucks!

IT WILL HAPPEN! i've got like 3 different websites in the mix right now... i'm sooo excited! it's kinda hush hush though... (kinda like what i'm getting my tattoo of.)

but hey, then i can have tattoos anywhere i want and not worry about not being hired.. cuz you need my mad skillz, byotch!

so yeah... things are changing. and i love it!

the new love of my life +

well, things have certainly improved since my last blog entry...

today was good because:
- i found my new favorite car ♥ ♥ i knew i liked it but now it's my favorite.

saw one outside starbucks on my way into work (all the good cars are at starbucks btw). wanted to take a picture of it... but i didn't have my camera and also i would have been late for work.

they called it "the best handling car in the world"... and it gets GREAT gas mileage!

watch it in action! it's amazing. and yes, i want it in this color. "racing green".

- today was also good because i got a $25 bonus with my paycheck! :)
- and because i don't have to watch a crappy movie tonight! we rented shrek 3. yays~
- and i get the weekend off from work! horray!

so that's why today was good.

bad parts of today:
- work today seemed like foreverrrrrrrrrr......
- the guy at taco bell charged me for water. ?! water is supposed to be free! and i'll bet it was TAP WATER... so i pretty much payed for the frigging cup. it made me a little mad.. but i guess a $25 bonus can make up for that... :( i just hate to waste money...

so all in all it was a good day.

california's burning, burning

gotta go shoot augustana for writing that song.... it's been stuck in my head all day. know why? BECAUSE CALIFORNIA IS FREAKING BURNING!!!

yeah so we had to evacuate at 5 am this morning. 8 different fires burning pretty much all of southern california and down into mexico. got up and grabbed what we could.. got my laptop and guitar and some clothes. packed it up in all the cars and drove out into the traffic of everyone else leaving.

leaving this morning was like the worst scene in an action movie.. the sky was all black and smokey, ash was raining from the sky, and a line of traffic stuck going up the hill in front of the house while we're all packing up the cars and trying not to choke.

then it was stressful because we got split up.. dad and megan were at the church office and dad wouldn't leave. and mom and the rest of us (me driving my car and her in the van) drove around forever. we ended up leaving my car in a parking lot... i hope it's okay ><

so we figured we'd head north up to a friend's house.. but the 15 north was closed. so we had to take a very very very round about way... with the rest of san diego.

red is the route we took.

blue is the way we would normally go.


basically we drove around for nearly 10 hours... it was almost all bumper to bumper traffic everywhere. EVERYONE had to evacuate. we went even farther south for a while because it was the only way we could go.. and there was more to it than this. so yeah..

now we're finally up here and have been here about 3 or 4 hours.. and now they're saying that this area might have to evacuate too sometime tonight. ugh. and if we don't leave then it's still 10 of us in a house with 2 beds, 2 couches and some chairs... not fun.

luckily they're saying most of the fires by my house have died down.. but the power, water, and gas are all turned off.. they said we can't go back for a day or two. oy.

happy birthday to meee~

DISNEYLAND WAS FANTASTIC.
<3333333


now i need to make some extra $$ to make up for it.

peace!

forget AAA! call tookpick arms 8D

well today was wonderful..... was refered to a special dentist. paid $105 just to have him tell me the tooth that my other dentist wanted to do a root canal on should just be pulled, but 3 other teeth i have probably need root canals. awesome. so now that's 5 teeth to be pulled on my next visit to the oral surgeon. which means i'll have to ask for time off work to recover....ugh. my manager is starting me on 8 hour days soon here. bleh. and opening.. oy.

today i was walking around in carmel mountain and some girl came up and was all "can you help me? you look like you have skinny arms... i locked my keys in my car, but the window is open a crack. can you try to reach in and unlock it?" ...wow. i've never heard that one before. the window was open all of like an inch and a half, but she was able to pull it down a little more while i reached in... and was able to unlock it. she was very happy and thanked me. said she would have had to wait like an hour or something for AAA to come do it. heh..
so that was my super hero moment for the day i guess. HA! having skinny arms is a good thing! i can break into cars >:D .... hmmm.

and tomorrow is my birthday! i'm going to DISNEYLAND! weee~
i hope it's fun and not crowded or raining.... >_<;;
too bad it's only open till like 8 pm... stupid fall hours.

pre-birthday blahs

8 days untill my 20th birthday! going to disneyland with a bunch of my friends :) unfortunately i can't bring all of them because they don't all get along :/ stupid drama... whatev.
i already feel 20...can i just be 21 now? that's what i really want for my birthday. so i can do whatever i want. (haha i doubt that would be the case)

annnd after i get paid again in 2 weeks i'm gonna go get (shhhh) a tattooooo~ ...hopfefully. we'll see if i can make up my mind on what i want. it's not IF i want the tattoo or not, it's just deciding which one i want FIRST...cuz i have like 3 i KNOW i want >< and where i want them, etc... soo yeah. just gotta think about work and having them show.. so i guess i'll get the more covered ones first, then go to more obvious ones once i have a job where i'm indispensable (sp?) regardless of tats and piercings. like a computer graphics job... cuz you ever see those guys on the behind the scenes who do movies? they can do their job looking like they just rolled out of bed! with stuff everywhere! so yeah... that's the plan. roll out of bed and go to work....

went back in time.

the weirdest thing happened to me this morning! i stayed up till like 2am last night.. even tho i have to be at work before 11am.. so i have to get up by at least 10am. so i got up at [what i thought was] 10. got dressed and everything in record time. then go out to the kitchen and my sister is all "it's not even 10 yet" that's weird. i got up at 10... didn't i? told her the clock was wrong. went and looked at the VCR. 9:30. wtf?! go to my room where i swear i saw 10 on the clock... 9:41. (we keep it a little fast). so i figure since i have soo much time i'll turn on my computer to find out the truth. because the computer never lies... 8:34. HOLY CRAP!! *double click* november 4th 8:35 AM... okay really. who is playing a trick on me? jeez. so yeah.. my phone was dead, so couldn't check that. but at least it has time to charge now.
so that was my freaky sci-fi morning... (i think) it's 10:06 now, and i could have had another hour of sleep before work. :( what a waste.

so i noticed... i'm a zombie

i know i have been thouroghly brain-washed now. from work. i recognize products when i see them in stores, and actually check to see if the prices are better than where i work. i know what the product line i used for a picture in the post where i told about when i first got my job...and i know it's not that great of a line. i was in the drug store today and i subconciously started to "front" some shampoo i saw...you know when someone picks some up and then there's a gap? at the store i work at we have to move the ones behind it to the front when someone does that. i almost did that when i wasn't even at work >< ahh1!!
♥
but i'm getting used to it. it's hard work for sure (not the "fronting"..but the dealing with [old] people and pretending like i know what i'm talking about when i recomend products and handling money and doing inventory and orders, etc...) but it's not so bad.
now if i can just figure out how long i'll be working there and figure out my 3 month trip to europe... hmmm.
that'll be fun~
