Long story short, I got a call this morning from GEOS, and they decided to hire me.

YAAAAAY ^_^.

After I hung up from the call, I plonked down on the couch and started crying... Noa walked in, and asked me what was wrong, and all I could say was "They hired me... I... I WORKED SO HARD. I WORKED SO HARD." XDD, so weird. I think for a moment, all the stress that I'd acquired during the interviewing process washed out of me, and I couldn't control myself.

So anyway, yay, I now have a job lined up, where I get to go teach English in Japan! Who knew my wishes for such a job would come true... certainly not me XD.

Before I go to Japan, I'll get to get another little stamp in my passport, because I'll have to go to Vancouver, Canada for training for 4 days before I go (there's more training in Japan too, I'm told). But yeah, now I have to figure out how to get a hotel and whatever in Canada too? GEOS, why must you make me work out so much stuff before I go? *wilts* I know nothing about Canada, so that'll be another mini-adventure in this whole situation I've willingly jumped into XD.

ANYWAY, I have a job now. Woohoo! These years of college have not all been for naught, so that's exciting ^o^.

-----------------

NOTE: I'm graduating college this Saturday! Holy crap, how am I going to get everything done before this Thursday??? *explodes* Oh well, I'll get it done some how ^^;;;. FOR NOW, I want to sleep. I'll work some more on all this crap tomorrow. *flomps ovah into a dead sleep*

Well, after an incredibly exhausting day, I just spend about 5 hours creating a lesson for my GEOS interview tomorrow, which will be probably even more of an exhausting day.

All I want to do is go to sleep right now (it's 12:38am right now, and I didn't really sleep last night)... but I don't think I'll be able to. Both of my parents are snoring their faces off. They have been for the last couple hours. I'm so jealous, and yet unable to join them in slumber, because of their cacophony. OH WELL. I see coffee in my immediate morning-in-a-few-hours future.

OMG, STOP SNORING. *sobs*

Well, today I went through stages 1 and 2 (there are 3 overall) of the GEOS interview process.

It was a looooooong exhausting day (9:30am - 5:30pm) of questions and questions and presentations and informational lectures, but I'm still alive.

I was shocked when they invited me back after stage 1 (only one guy got booted after the first stage). Then after stage 2, they invited me back for the 3rd stage, tomorrow. I was VERY shocked, just because I kinda flubbed this group presentation thing, where I had to give a presentation with 2 other girls. But I guess they saw something in me that was worth considering to hire, so I'll just have to do my best tomorrow ^_^.

I have to make a 30-minute long lesson tonight (complete with props, like picture flash cards and such... I might not sleep tonight ^^; ). At least my hotel is only 15 minutes from the interviewing spot on foot, so I don't have to wake up hideously early to get there. Oh wait, by my standards 9:30am is hideously early by my standards. OH WELL, I'll cope.

Anyway, I really ought to get on creating that lesson for tomorrow, or else I'll have no hope ^_^;. WISH ME LUCK! I'll do my best!

This weekend is my first attempt at a job interview, to get employed as an ESL teacher in Japan (specifically, at GEOS).

I've got my resume... business suit... sexy black shoes... dress socks... black purse... LET'S SEE HOW IT GOES. No matter what happens, at least I'll know that I looked really hawt for my interview XD.

I am kinda nervous, but not as nervous as I thought I'd be. I think I'm as prepared as I could be, while still being under the constraints of school and work up until now, so I'll be pretty at peace with the situation, no matter what happens. I will post how it goes, though!

Hopefully it'll be my only interview, but if not, at least I'll get a feel for such formal and competitive situations ^o^.

Last Friday, I started my brief employment of picking up the children of my internship boss.

So weird XD.

I'll go to the high school, and pick up Andrew, and for lack of anything better to say, I usually start off with "So, how was school today?" and he says "Oh... ya know..." and then we drive along a bit awkwardly until he starts talking about Star Wars or computer programming or something XDDD. Once we pick up Katherine from the middle school, all I have to ask is "How's your boyfriend?" and she'll talk for the entire rest of the ride XD.

They're both good kids, but sometimes I wonder if they're completely weirded out by the fact that I'm picking them up XD;. I'm sure they are, but TOO BAD! $60 for picking them up 5 times is nice pocket money for me, so I intend to finish despite random awkwardness that occurs ^^;;;.

I feel suspiciously genki, for just having worked 7 hours at Camille's XD.

But, but! I made $9 in tips! And some guy who came up after closing (about 9:15 or so) gave me a whole box of Girl Scout thin mint cookies because I went ahead and made him an Italian Cream Soda *o*. *chomps on them happily*

So good things happened XD. But it was so busy today, that it took BOTH me and Jane until 10pm (an hour later than normal) to get the kiosk closed. A testament to how crazy busy it was ^^;;;.

OH, and the ultimate good thing happened! I was going to have to work tomorrow from 1 - 6pm, but the new worker/trainee Jane hired is going to take my shift ^o^. A whole day to work on my story for my Creative Writing class-- I'm pretty psyched ^__^.

Anyway, yes, while my mind is genki, my body is fairly tired, so I'm going to go flomp down for a while ^o^V.

Today I put in my 2-week resignation notice at Camille's.

*dances around >^o^>*

That's what I was worrying about yesterday... but it went fine. I went to work, because Jane was scheduled to work 9am-3pm today, but she wasn't there (she had some catering to do, and got Bobbie to come in early for her). She wasn't scheduled to work tomorrow either, so I just decided to call her, even though I didn't want to quit by phone. Oh well, Jane understood my situation, and I feel a lot better now ^_^.

The semester will still be hard, but at least now I will soon have weekends to do my writing projects and other homework too. I might even sleep O.O! *shock*

Okay, so my boss has me working only on Saturdays and Sundays right now, which is fine since my weekday schedule is fairly hectic. But last Sunday I wasn't able to go to work becaaaa~use-- *drumroll*--

I woke up, and wasn't able to move my head! I thought I was in some sort of paralysis dream at first, but then I was all painpainpain, and I've never had any dreams where real pain occurs. After a few tests (*turns head to the right* ... *turns head to the left* OWWWWWW!!!), I realized that some muscle along the left side of my neck did not want to move. At the end of the day when it was time to go to sleep, I dug out some Hydrocodone from my last hospital trip, and was able to sleep happily/deliriously XD. Now, a few days later, my neck is okay. WTF, BODY??? I HATE YOU TOO.

Anyway, it's freakishly cold outside. This would not be surprising, except it was 60 degrees F out this morning, and now it's under 20 degrees F @_@;. I think some deities are banning against Missouri, and are trying to wipe us out with strange weather ^^;. *WILL SURVIVE!*

Whoo, I feel as if I've been launched into the intergalactic-psycho-dance-rave-technological FUTURE, as I now have to start writing 2008 on everything, instead of 2007. Of course, like always, I'm sure I'll spend the first few months accidentally writing the wrong year, cursing, and then erasing it before putting the actual year. Ah, tradition.

So Noa and I had fun on New Year's Eve ^_^. A shopping trip to Springfield was in order, as if we weren't both broke enough from the holiday season XD;. But we wanted to traipse the mall! And so we did. We ate yummy Japanese food at Sakura's, and then after wandering the mall like homeless vagabonds for a several hours, we went to the movie theater. We wanted to see the Golden Compass, but we missed the last showing, so we watched Juno instead (which was awesome, so it's okay ^o^). Everything in town was closed just about by that time, so we went to Cheddar's for something to eat/drink. And by drink, I mean GIGANTIC MUDSLIDES, yay ^_^. Sheesh, the drink was expensive, but I did not think it was going to be sillily gimungus XD;. After drinking and having traveled to nearly everything entertaining that Springfield beholds, we ended up going to my parents' house, and watching Japanese music videos until we passed out. By my standards, it was an supah fun day ^o^V!

Noa said, though, that whatever you do on New Year's Day will set what happens for you the whole entire year. OH GOD, I HOPE NOT. Today I worked from 9am until 7pm @_@;. I will be very unhappy if my whole year is spent slaving unhappily away. Mou. I DID make $15 in tips though, so I don't mind that standard being set XD. So many people were really generous today, so I don't mind that I worked on New Year's Day. Seriously, so many people went "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" before dunking a dollar or two in my tip cup XD;. The New Year spirit has magically turned everyone super nice, or for just one day at least.

As for New Year's resolutions... I just want to do a few abstract things.

1. Continue to be happy! Don't let life obliterate your supah genki-demeanor, like during that last semester. Yeah, it was pretty not great, but there are better things to look forward to.

2. Don't freak out (too much)! Sure, you are standing on a strange precipe of super early graduation, with the future looming a little too fiercely, but you've got ideas. Just think things through and work hard toward it, and you won't put yourself in the position of needing to curl up in the fetal position from not being ready.

That's it for now, I do believe. Being happy and trying not to freak out are things I usually try to keep at the top of my To-Do List, though XD.

I love you all <3! Here's to another of you guys being my friends(, or else <3)!

Let's see... I haven't posted for awhile, and so much has gone on ^^;;;.

So, what was the exciting news of the now-over Fall 2007 semester? FINALS WERE CANCELED <3.

There was a rough ice storm the weekend before finals, which caused the power in almost all of Joplin to go out. Usually my college's campus would still have power, but the generator was rendered incapable because the transformer on campus asploded.

Seriously, I was working on an 8 page paper (for African-American Lit) on Sunday, and then DARKNESS... well, except for my computer, which was plugged into a battery-surge protector thing, so I was able to save my paper before shutting down the computer. We all thought the generator would kick in, but that wasn't the case, so Noa, Rebecca, Carolina and moi dragged our mattresses into the living room for a slumber party of sorts. I found my flashlight (which Rebecca tied to the light fixture, for a dome light of sorts XD), and after getting tired of squinting at our cards whilst playing a game of rummy in the super-dim light, we decided... TO OPEN THE CHIRSTMAS PRESENTS WE GOT FOR ONE ANOTHER XD. It was fun, except after opening presents, we were all constantly saying things like "OH! I love it!... what color is it? *squintsquint*" I got shiny headbands from Rebecca and manga (Invisible Boy) + a Sylvia Plath poetry book from Noa <3. Carolina loved the Build-a-Bear bunny so much that me and Rebecca went in together on to get her, that she kept on going "I love it, I love it! I'm going to sleep with it tonight!" XD.

After opening Christmas presents, our dorm RA came in and told us that finals for Monday were canceled. I was freaking out though, because I figured I still had to turn in my 8-page paper (due on Tuesday), so I went to my parents' house in Mount Vernon to finish it Monday night. Before I went to their house, though, I went to the mall to work on it with Noa's laptop. There, we overheard some of the kids from our college saying that... the whole finals week was canceled? Power was off everywhere, it was icing like crazy, so it seemed plausible. And hooray! I got an affirmation from the main dorm RA office that... finals were canceled.

Wait? Shouldn't I have been happy? What's this sense of unease that overtook me?

I was confused, as everyone was. The school system was down, which made our professors' e-mails inaccessible... tests were canceled, but what about papers? Presentations?

3 of my finals tests were canceled, but I had 3 papers and a presentation due, so I really didn't know what to do. So I just sucked it up and completed everything. I commuted back and forth between Joplin and Mount Vernon like a zillion (note: 3 or 4) times to write an 8 page paper for African-American Lit, a 5 page paper on War and Peace for Epic, and a 7 page paper/packet on Battle Royale as an epic for Epic. I was English papering like a pro (aka, I wanted to hurt myself -.o; ). AND I GOT EVERYTHING DONE! ...but I found out I didn't have to do the 8 page paper, the one I spent the most time/effort on. *collapses*

So, today, a week later after the canceled finals, I found out my grades. This vindictive semester has tried to tear me limb from limb, so... did I survive? *drumroll*

Oral Communication...............A
American Literature I............A
Intro to English Linguistics.....B
African-American Literature......B
Epic.............................B
Fitness Walking..................A

Oh, fuck yeah ^_____________^V. Take that, college. You tried to eat me, and I clobbered you with some AABBBA instead. *dances around* Oh, and for the record, I would have shot myself in the face if I managed to get anything lower than an A in Fitness walking XD;. I even got a B in Linguistics, how the heck did I manage that XD; (and NO mom, I didn't sleep with the teacher!)?

But yes, it would have been fantastic if finals got canceled, and I got to go home and try to sleep of the evils of the semester... but Jane, in all her fantastic'ness, managed to schedule it so I had no work shifts on Monday thru Friday of finals week. No, really, I was extremely happy with being able to devote myself to my finals, but then suddenly there were no finals anymore. And I had work on Saturday + Sunday. I wanted to go home, but YAY, the ice storm was supposed to hit Mount Vernon with 10 inches of ice and snow, so there really wasn't a way to go back until my shifts for the weekend were over. Also, the dorms were closed to students on Friday, so... *dundundun*

On Friday night me, Rebecca, and Noa all crashed at Jane's (my boss) house XD. Which was interesting. There was no sleep for me to be had that night though, because I managed to screw up my foot majorly by falling on the ice whilst returning text books earlier that day. Once morning hit after staring at Jane's daughter's bedroom ceiling all night, I couldn't even walk without crying. It was pretty awful. And I had work that afternoon. But I'm a genius, so upon buying a wrap-bandage thing, I was able to hobble around without sobbing. At work, Rebecca planted me in a chair in front of the register for most of the time, and yelled at me every time I tried to get up and help with anything else XD;.

The next night, we decided to go to a guy's house that works at a shoe store in the mall... AND DRINK. And omg, by that time, drinking sounded amazing XD. We were all a mess. So we went to his (Tony, I think) house, watched anime and the Tomb Raider movie, and drank up. I'd never been drunk before, but I found it to be a nice reprieve from reality just for once XD;. I've felt harassed all semester, so just sitting and giggling happily/inanely for hours on end with friends was just perfect <3. AND HELEN (disutansu), sorry for talking to you when I was like that ^^;. I don't remember if I called you or you called me, but I DO remember you saying that I sounded the same as when I wasn't drunk... heeey, I can't really take that as a compliment, can I XD;? Or maybe I was just amazing, because I remember concentrating REEEALLY hard to sound not smashed, so you wouldn't think bad of me XD;. I succeeded, yay! The next morning, the last shift at work for the weekend was completed (although it SUCKED, because once again, Camille's was the hot spot of Joplin for some reason).

Now I'm back at my parents' house for Christmas break. I'm still working at Camille's quite a bit, but the money is nice. I also get to carpool with my dad most of the time, so I don't mind it. I don't have to put half my paycheck into my gas tank, so that resolved my main stress of keeping my job over Christmas break. My foot still hurts some, but I can walk without the bandage-wrap and pain meds, which makes me happy. Half of my right foot is constantly prickly/numb, days after the last time I wore the bandage, so I wonder if I killed my foot by wearing the wrap too tight... oh well ^^;. AMPUTATION TIME <3 (I really hope not, though... if I have to, I'll write in my LJ about it XD; ).

So that's all I feel like blabbing about for now. Everything is all long and drawn out in story-telling form, but it's been days since it all happened, so I feel some distance from it all, and had to tell it like that XD;. Gomen ^^;.

Oh, and work today sucked, and work tomorrow is going to suck... WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO WAIT SO LONG TO GO CHRISTMAS SHOPPING, AND THEN DECIDE TO SWAMP THE MALL AND MAKE MY LIFE HELL? Just wonderin' >|.

OKAYz, TIME FOR BED NOW. *hobbles slightly to bed, where she will have good dreams of good semester grades, and bad dreams of bad Christmastime customers (boo)* Oyasumi ^__^.

So yeah, the world didn't want me to finish reading the last book for my African-American Lit. class, and for me to get the essay over it completed.

Take that world. 4am has rolled around, and I finished the book (by 2am) and just got the essay done a few minutes ago. I would try to flip off this vague sense of "world," but I do believe I am too tired to raise my finger. Damn. *needs more espresso*

My lack of sleep last night caused me to fall asleep during part of the time I sanctioned between classes and work... whoops XD;. But it was only a Tuesday night, so I should have been able to read the rest of the book during my shift easy. Maybe even start the essay. But no, work was stupidly busy for some reason. And on the one night I needed to book it out of work as soon as I could to get things done, a huge group comes up right before closing and orders a ton of things, causing me to not get done closing until half an hour later usual.

I freaked out the girl that lives across the hall though, when I was reading, which was pretty fun XD. The lights are so dim in the dorm, that I opted to coccoon myself in my blanket out in the hallway between all the apartments.

Anyway, sleep is definitely not meant for me tonight, so I guess I'll go put on my clothes for the day, and go wander around outside. Maybe drive and get breakfast to pass the time until I have to report to class in 4 hours XD;. There are so many things I have to do this week, that I wonder if I'll have time to sleep at all in the next few days. Oh well, I guess I can be assured that my body with have a fit and pass out at some point ^^;.

*wanders away into the limbo that is between dawn and 8am*

Man, it doesn't matter what I watch/read/do lately-- EVERYTHING IS TRYING TO TURN ME CLINICALLY DEPRESSED. I swear, what the hell.

Right now I have to read Beloved for my African-American Lit class, which has on many occasions alluded to cow rape. One of the slave guys in the book lusted after a slave girl for years, and he raped cows to qualm this??? And THEN he finally sleeps with her after 20 freaking years, and he has AN EPIPHANY. He thinks, "Ya know? All those years of lusting and raping cows because I wanted to have sex with her... it wasn't really worth it. It wasn't that good." *STABS THE PSYCHO-BOOK IN A PSYCHOTIC MANNER*

So then I watch an episode of Akihabara@deep, which usually cheers me up, and it just so happens I randomly choose the crazy evil "Bado Raku!" episode, where people OD on drugs and get stuffed in suitcases whilst still foaming at the mouth, and the like.

And then, at work, I get stalked'ish? By a really scary creepy guy? He kept on walking up and having many mini-annoying-conversations with me, trying to get me to give him free food, and then when he wasn't actually talking to me over the counter, he was nearby and glancing at the kiosk a lot. Right at the end of the night too, it appeared he got some money, and ordered something, which was okay... but it was not okay that when I took the trash out at the end of the night, that he was standing near my car in the parking lot. And then when I was coming back in from throwing trash in the dumpster, he was suddenly by the doorway and was watching me. When I walked back out to finally go home, as soon as I thought I was home free, as he appeared to be gone, I heard a "Hey!" right behind me, and he was on a bench about 3 feet away from me. Mou. I might be paranoid, but he had a strangecreepy aura. I may very well freak-out if I see him too much more around the mall -.o;.

SO THEN, after doing some homework after work, I decide to watch the drama Tomo Yanagishita (Pixie/Jet Monster Tenimyu Kaidoh!) is in, Ren ai Shindan, but that totally turned out to be a traumatizing event. Seriously? Can't ANYONE BE HAPPY IN THESE FREAKING SHOWS? Must it always be rapebreakingstuffmurderangstangstangst? I should've known, but I had hope and needed cheering up. So much for that ^^;... I will say it was not a bad drama, though... Okay, actually it was bad, but in the normal OMG-AWKWARD way XDD. Okay, so maybe it did cheer me up a tad XD;... *loved all the random scenes of ANGRY POTTERY BREAKING!* I'm getting happier thinking of all the hilarious'ish-crazy moments, but yeah, watching it straight through WAS A REAL DOWNER.

I'm just gonna stop typing, because it is currently 2:38am, and who knows what jumbled mess is coming out. But I'm afraid to sleep, because I'm pretty sure if I do, I'm going to have cowrapefoamingdrugODcreepystalkermorerapemurderangstangst dreams. And that just doesn't sound appealing to me.

Oh well. Hopefully tomorrow is less trauma to my brain ^^! *tries to occupy self until the day begins*

Today was good and bad... I feel pretty horrid right now, but remembering the happy things make me feel better...

Good! -- I did well on my 20 minute presentation in African-American Literature, that I've been stressing out about since the beginning of the semester.

Bad! -- I got about 3 hours of sleep the night before, from working on said project.

Good! -- I got a 90% (an A, whoo!) on my American Lit. midterm, that I had assumed I'd probably not done so hot on.

Bad! -- I forgot to do the reading for today in American Lit., and probably failed the quiz on it.

Good! -- B.H. Fairchild, a really awesome poet came to my college today. I bought one of his books from Dr. Kumbier, and got Fairchild to sign it for me, yaaay ^__^. *uber excited, like the poetry dork she is* I could not go to his poetry reading at 7pm tonight, because of work, but one of the English professors let me sit in on her class at 1pm, that was having a Q&A session with him ^_^. He even read a few poems, since not all of us could be there at the 7pm reading.

Bad! -- I really, really would've liked to have gone to the poetry reading, boo -.o;.

Good! -- I made $7 in tips at work tonight!

Bad! -- Work tonight REALLY, REALLY SUCKED. Like, REALLY. Macy's was having some retarded sale, so about a zillion people came by Camille's, and was making large-quantitied demands of me. Soooo many rushes... and a blender burnt out, so I was reduced to one blender... and I didn't get closed until 9:20pm, because I couldn't even start closing until 8:30pm tonight (an hour and a half later than when I usually start closing)... and everything kept on running out... *PULLS HAIR*

Good! -- I'm about to take the appropriate dosage of Tylenol PM (2 pills!), and hopefully be out until I have to wake up at 7am tomorrow. I get to go home and let my parents fawn upon me for a little while tomorrow, and part of the day Saturday too, so that'll be nice ^^.

OKAYZ, that's enough of that! Crazy day. OYASUMI <3! *collapses to bed after Tylenol PM'ing it up*

I feel very... wronged. *angsts*

I told my boss today, IN OCTOBER, that the only times I'll be able to work during the Christmas break (in DECEMBER) will be Monday-Friday, 9am-4pm. I give her a two month warning, so she has time to train up new workers if need be, and she acts like I'm creating such a horrible situation for her.

"What? No, that won't work. I really need you to work during Christmastime."

I don't live in Joplin, so what can I do? I'll quit if I have to-- she can't force me to commute half an hour just to get to my minimum wage part time job -.-;.

I told her there's nothing I could do-- those are the only times I could work, and all she says in a dismissive way is "Fine. I'll see if there's anything we'll be able to do," and then walks out the door. WHAT? You can train more workers, and not act like I'm wronging you just because I can't work whenever you want me to. It's not like I'm quitting, I can still work half the day on weekdays.

Moumoumoumou.

[/work rant]

That's enough of that. Sheesh, I was boiling mad after she left, though -.-. I guess I'll just have to watch happy jdramas until I feel better. *nodnod* MOU.

Let's see... what's gone on lately? I haven't posted for awhile ^^;.

I gave an informative speech about Ikebukuro, Tokyo, Japan (where I lived when I was in Tokyo) in my COMM100 class, and didn't pass out or cry, so that was successful. Most of the people in my class seemed to think it was interesting, although one guy fell asleep during my speech, with his mouth hanging open XD.

I've got a big Linguistics test tomorrow... I was to do well, but I'm getting sick, and it's so hard to try and memorize all this crap -.-. Stupid test. AND OF COURSE I'M GETTING SICK. Argh. My sleeping habits this past week have been really tragic though, so I left myself susceptible to the bug that's floating around, I suppose.

My birthday is in... 2 days. And I'll probably be sick. Hooray. I'm still celebrating, though XD;. I don't care if I have to knock back some Tylenol PM with my froofy alcohol at the end of the night, I will still have fun. I think me, Noa, and Rebecca were just going to have a movie night, which sounds fun to me. I just want to relax, pllllz -.-;.

Jane gave me another 3 day break this week, so at least I don't have work until Friday... hopefully I'll be well before my next shift, so I don't accidentally sneeze on peoples' sandwiches ^^;.

So now I have some Nyquil geltabs calling my name. I took a 3 hour nap this afternoon, but I feel exhausted again. Stupid illness. With any luck at all I'll feel better tomorrow morning, after having slept so much XD. I'm not the most lucky person in the world, though ^^;.

OYASUMI! *downs her drugs, and tries to sleep the nastiness away*

I think... I might have killed someone today o.O. *sobs*

Seriously, this guy came up and ordered a grande mocha latte (steamed milk + 3 espresso shots + 2 ounces of chocolate syrup). But then he added 2 shots of raspberry flavoring... and then at the last second, he had me add 2 more shots of espresso. HOW CAN ANYONE DRINK SOMETHING WITH 5 SHOTS OF ESPRESSO IN IT??? Plus all the chocolate, plus all the raspberry syrup... omg, his heart surely beat itself to a frenzied death not long after he drank it... poor guy -.-. *MOMENT OF SILENCE*

Awhile after that, some guy came up and ordered a sugar-free caramel latte. After I gave it to him, he got a really weird look on his face and asked if it was sugar-free. I said it was, and thought I seriously messed up his drink somehow, but when I asked him he said he was just shocked that it tasted so good, even though it was sugar-free low-fat XD. And then he tipped me a dollar, yay!

AND THEN when I was mopping the floor nearing closing time... an old security guard guy knocked on the back door of the kiosk, and when I looked up, he gestured toward the trash can (that I pushed out the back door so I could mop) and then started spraying an aerosol can into the trash for a good 30 seconds. I... was confused XD. Apparently instead of being on guard duty for the night, he was on fly duty for some reason, and was wandering around the mall spraying bug-killer on everything XD. And oh my god, might I add, I'd never smelled anyone that emanated old person smell such as he did @_@;.

And last of all... when I walked out of work tonight to leave, I passed by Jane (my boss)... and she said... "Thank you, M." *WIGS OUT* She called me M, or Em, or whatever... Somehow, that made me really happy that my boss felt at ease enough with me to call me that ^^. I feel like maybe she doesn't hate me too much XD.

Aaaaaannnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyywwwwwwwaaaaaaayyyyyyyy, I'm moving into mah dorm tomorrow morning (I'm heading off to Joplin at 7:15am to do so), yay ^_^! *excited* This is my fourth year staying in the dormitories, but I still like it XD;. Next time anyone speaks to me, I shall have changed residences once again! So ye few people who mail me (IE: HELEN, and every now and then Kishu XD), my address is now my college one.

Oyasumi ^_^! *flounces off to bed*

I keep on getting picked on at work o.O;;;.

Yesterday, some lady told me to get my hair out of my face. My dad appeared out of nowhere when I was walking back into the store, and he accused me of being late (Zach set that up though, I told him we're enemies now, mwhahaha!). Paul told me I'm really slow at checking out stuff (which I'm not, but when he asked me what the big drawers on the front of the checkout counter were for, I told him that's where I stuff the dead bodies... erm... yes, threat ^^ *cough*). And some lady had the tact to look at my fingernails and say "Honey! What's wrong with your fingernails?" I said nothing was wrong. She's all "Nonono... you bite them, don't you? Shame, shame, shame on you!" I was a bit mortified. I don't bite my nails, I tear them off, thank you very much. Leave me alooone o.O;.

And so weird, when I was on my break yesterday, some older guy started singing and dancing at me. I was just sitting at the table outside, writing one of my scary stories, like I usually do and... Yeah. The song went like this: "I'm sitting here just writing a letter... Is that what I'm doing? *I nod NO* A letter to myself! Its so much fun!" And then he did a jig. Umm... I kinda stuttered in confusion, and then told him to have a nice day.

Work is WEIRD. Wow ^^;. *sporks all the insulting people that need to keep their noses in their own business*

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ^^.

2 good things happened.

1: I got my first paycheck. *flashes check made out for $150.71* Yay, $50.71 goes towards my own personal endeavors ($100 towards college/a trip to Japan), so I can live/buy djs. *nod*

2: My first dj came in the mail today. I wasn't prepared for how... beautiful it would be o.O. *huggles it carefully, as to not bend it and stuff* Love Match is teh coolest ^^. I look forward to breaking my bank account over dj's in the near future ^_____^. *is going to molest jpqueen.com of all its InuKai dj's... err... at least the ones done by Erebus*

Yay for firsts! *flail*

I started my first (real) job yesterday. Woo, I work at a grocery store ^^;. Its not terrible, and it goes by pretty quickly, and I make money, so those are all good things ^^. But I need a nap right now, because standing on your feet for 5-8 hours straight is harder than it looks. At least my feet aren't numb, like yesterday ^_^. I'll get used to it, and take the grocery world by storm! Or something. Just joking. I'll stick with the writing/art stuffs instead, because at least those things don't feel like they're sucking my soul from my very being. Scanning corn and potatoes for long amounts of time will leave a large void in your heart, promise ^^.

Nap! *thudsnore, Jiroh style* Zzzzz...
