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~

teeth = bain of my existance

soo yesterday i went to an oral surgion to have a tooth removed. it was already half way broken.. it broke at the air port in chicago, of all places...while i was eating chinese food. nothing to break a tooth on.. i thought it was a finger nail in my food at first. GROSSS!!
but anyway, getting the tooth pulled probably wouldn't have been so bad, except that i had a fever the day before (chills, throwing up, all that good stuff) AT WORK. ugh. came home and slept for pretty much the rest of the day/night. then mom got me up early and drug me to the dentist/oral surgion...i was so out of it. dizzy, almost threw up. the x-ray machine hurt my head.. they didn't put me to sleep for the extration. which sucked. they just numbed it. and it HURRRRT!!! and while he was trying to tear my lip off of my face, the stupid raido had to go and play the song i hate more than anything right now... that carrie underwood song, before he cheats.. i freaking dispise that song. i swear it plays every hour at work. it was the most miserable experience EVER.
then came home.. mom was 2 hours late getting my perscription.. so i was in quite a bit of pain. but you don't want to read about that.
so yeah, thanks to this last lovely dental trip we now know that i'll probably need to get 4 wisdom teeth removed.. plus that root canal i already knew i needed. daaaaaaamn. why me?! i take good care of my teeth, really. it just runs in my family to have bad teeth i guess.. ugh. not fair. all the most painful dental things you could possibly need done. and after all this i'm getting braces.
now excuse me while i ice my face...i have to be at work in 3 hours.

and so i'm back! from outerspace...

or south carolina. whichever. it's rl different over there on the east coast. here's one little story for you.

08/25/07 south carolina - day 4:
tonight we went out for dinner with mimi (my mom's mother). she took us to a cafeteria style place called jackson's cafeteria. i embarrassed myself going through the food line... although anyone could make the mistake...there were the potatos sitting there, and next to it was the gravy in the same size dish thing... so then what was this darker liquid over here? i think deep down i was hoping it was teriyaki sauce, because it was right next to some white rice. the question came out something like "what's that dark stuff there?" and with all the attitude and "oh-no-you-di-nit" of a big southern black woman, the lady behind the counter told me "THAT'S GRAVY." oh. duh. i'm in the south and i don't know gravy when i see it... i forgot you have to have 2 kinds of gravy here; one of the dark people and one for the light peole. i'm sorry, i'm just an idiot from california. we only have one color gravy...because we aren't racist still. (ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! ......... no no i'm kidding!!) anyway, all she did was answer my question... but you know when you can tell that people just don't like you...or think you're stupid. it was that feeling. x1000

and yeah, that was one of my first lovely experiences with the culture... i won't bother with the rest. most people there aren't all too friendly UNLESS they already know you. southern hospitality must be from another part in the south.

so yeah, back to work. it's going a little better now. first day back was terrible. i messed up on a lot of things. but now i'm doing better... it's really a lot to remember how to do... but i got paid! and it's a nice feelin~

before the craziness continues

well, off to the east coast tomorrow morning. got a full day of travel ahead of me... ugh. i hate flying. so boring. plus i've been sick all week, so that should make for a fun (not) trip. jeez...
johnny and i went cruising in the BMW before i left. we went shopping and had a good time :) <333
so now i'm finally all packed. finished my last day of work for 2 weeks. it almost doesn't seem worth it with what i make.. like nothing compared to my last job. :( sigh...
so yeah.. time to go try to sleep now. i wish i didn't have to go. it's been so hot here, i can't believe i'm going somewhere even hotter for the next 2 weeks. miserable! i hate being too hot. or to cold.. i guess no one does.
i feel so not ready to go. i don't know why...maybe because i'm sick? it seems like i just did this a few months ago... oh yeah... cuz i did! ugh.

why meee?

sitting in bed sucking on a wheat thin... i have to be at work in about 40 minutes. i've been super nausious, threw up, and all that fun stuff. but i can't call into work sick or else the dragon lady will fire me. ugh. i'm tired of having a job already... i'm so over it. i haven't even gotten paid yet.
:(

i hope i'll have time to pack before my trip.. i'm pretty much busy every day now... oy. i don't even know if i'm working the day before i go or not. and it's hot and miserable here...i don't know WHY in the world i'm going to travel to somewhere where it's even worse weather than this. for 2 weeks. i hope i get better soon, or that will be totally miserable.
why me?

life is lovely

my boss' had to go to the doctor and can't work this week... so everyone is picking up extra hours.. i'll be working 8 hours tomorrow, when usually i only work 5. bleh...

then the week after this craziness is over i will be going out of town for 2 weeks. into worse weather than what it is here XP bleh. it's been humid and gross here, so i can only imagine how it is on the east coast... darn you global warming! --i mean summer time.

sooo yeah..

have some toast

you can't just stand around and look pretty...

wow, so yeah.. my first 3 days of work summed up in one sentance: IT'S NOT AS EASY AS IT LOOKS!!!
oh my gosh. i cannot even begin to tell you all the things i've had to do... i hope this gets easier as i learn what is what. jeez... i don't know why i'm still stressed, even after i'm done...
yesterday i went to get my car smogged.. ended up getting really bad cramps and throwing up...sitting out in the car in the lovely 90 degree poway weather. just lovely, i know. and i had to go to work after i got my car smogged.. but i could hardly walk! so the girl at work was really nice and sympathetic.. for the first 2 hours of work all i had to do was sit in the back and price things. so that was fine.. but the manager today gave me this whole huge lecture on how i need to just take midol (midol makes me sick) and just come in. WHICH I DID! so i don't understand WHY she was lecturing me about it... i'm not stupid, i understand how business works and that everyone needs to do their part.. *sigh* oh well, i'll just have to take it till i've proven myself i guess...

finally i have work!...no wait...

yay i finally got another job! sales associate with the empire beauty supply store by my house. it was pretty crazy too.. i almost didn't even turn in the application there because i wasn't sure i wanted to work there. but i did, and i got a call the next day, then an interview 2 days later, then got a call the next day saying i got the possition, went in and signed paper work the day after that...which was today! wow. CRAZY.
so yeah ^_^ good stuff. i'm excited. i hope it'll be something i pick up on quick.. not be a newb for long.
i figure this is one step further into my career as a hair stylist if i wanted to do that... i was looking at a cosmotology school near by, so we'll see... this will definately be a long-term job if it works out. so yeah :)

comic con 07 - nerds unite!

comic con this weekend was fun! really exhausting though! i woke up at 5 am friday morning and couldn't go back to sleep... just excited i guess. then my boyfriend picked me up at 8 and we went down to san diego (half an hour away), parked (friggin $10 to park!!), got our badges (pre-registered baby!), walked and got breakfast from a little corner cafe, then went back a little after it had opened at 10 and the line went away. saw lots of neat stuff and got good free stuff. saw my friend caitlin at the FUNimation booth (she does winrey's voice in FMA), and some other people, like the guy who plays goku from DBZ. he was funny, lol..

here are some pictures:
