Well a hello to all of you. I’m a day late in writing this, but yesterday I ended up being so lazy. I’m sure I’ll be forgiven. Let’s see, where did I leave off last time? Oh! I got my car fixed. A few weeks ago. Thank god… My mother’s van was driving me insane. And to think that was the vehicle I learned to drive with… Anyways. I have my car back, new shift lever and two new(not brand new) tires. So yay for that. Apparently I’m going to Panera’s post-holiday party next Sunday. It was kinda decided for me by one of my co-workers. So I hope that goes alright. I’m sure it will. I get along with most of the people I work with right now, so I think so. And that leads into the current hot topic, my crush. Which, by the way, I’ve got another one. BUT. I’m positive that this one is gay. Because…well…long story. But we won’t get into that right now… =P And the part that sucks is that they’re both cute. And sweet. And I couldn’t decide between the two. So for now I’m just going to crush on both. Because I can. =D About 2 or 3 days ago, I had to work with (in close proximity) to 3 people I find attractive. Two of which are my crushes. The other I’m certain is gay, but he’s…not quite my type. And let me tell YOU, that was quite an interesting night. As I described it to Bel: “Guy 1 is in my ear all night, and I have to hand him drinks. Guy two is at the other end of the counter on registers. And Guy 3 is behind me the whole night.” I’m actually quite surprised she didn’t laugh at me when I said that last part… But anyway. I suppose, now with two guys I might have to give them names or you’ll all get confused. And calling them “Guy 1 and Guy 2” sounds odd… Meh. You’ll live. Guy 1 will refer to the guy I had a crush on first. The one I have trouble talking to. WHICH we’re working on. He actually said hi the other day when I was in grabbing a bagel. He ended up ringing me out at one point too. BUT the point is that we’re working on talking. We’re getting there. Haba haba. (Swahili for “Little by Little”) AND Guy 2 is going to refer to the taller guy that just started. But anyway. Moving on from that for today… OH! I had to take a loan out for my car, did I tell you that? Yeah. It came to $620 and I had like…nothing in my savings account at the time, and I really need to fix that. So I got a small loan from the bank so I could pay it. And have my car back. Speaking of savings… Oshkosh is now 171 days away. And Bel got me all excited the other day because she said “I can’t wait to ride your tram” And at first I was all like…what are you TALKING about? And then I realized and got all excited because I had forgot that I can actually DO that this year. This has been a dream of mine for many years. Getting to drive the trams that run throughout the grounds, and getting to announce stops. See, the second part was a little scary to me because I was not nearly as social as I am now. And I’m not afraid to do things like that now. Though, I have yet to e-mail the volunteer coordinator for the trams, but it IS on my to-do list. Its usually something I do mid-February. Speaking of, my birthday is now 4 days away. (YAY!) And I found out there is a new Fire Emblem game coming out in a bundle with the Nintendo DS the VERY next day. AND I’m gonna buy it. Its supposed to be like…$200 or something. And my mother offered to buy half of it. So there is that. =P And the design of the DS cover is REALLY cool, and its blue. I kinda wish it was red, but I’ll live. Anyway, I should be going to bed. I have to open at Hancock tomorrow, and close at Panera. FUN! (Not really. I actually quite hate these days. Especially when I open again at Hancock the next day. EXHAUSTING) So I’ll leave you with today’s song, which is Eurovision. I know, Eurovision is yet a few months away and only the very first entries have been confirmed, but I’m already addicted to one of them. I wish you all well, and thank you all for putting up with me because you have no idea how much it means. I know I’m not always easy to understand, but I can make just about as much sense out of the thoughts in my head, as you guys can out of what I write. So thank you all. =) Remember to keep calm and carry on, and I’ll speak to you all soon. Goodnight.

Hello again, everyone. I felt the need today to write just a short post. And we’re just going to get right to it. A thought occurred to me last night about this guy I’ve been telling you. And Bel, you may have an a-ha moment just like me. I was thinking…what if he just isn’t out? I mean, that WOULD explain it. Being impossible to read, acting interested yet not interested at the same time… If he weren’t out, and I’m sure I’d know by now if he was, these things are not out of the ordinary. Am I right? Of course, I could still just be trying to throw theories out in every attempt to make him gay so I could one day have a chance. THAT is entirely possible too, you know. Anyway. Enough about him today. Did I tell you all that my car broke? I don’t think I did…. Well, my car broke. First (on christmas eve) my tire came off its rim. Joy. So I had my dad put the spare tire on. …it had a screw in it. …really? So we got that fixed. The next day, Christmas day, I went to move it out of my mother’s way. And when I went to put it back in park? The shifter stick broke. …are you fucking kidding me? *sigh* So. I took it in and everything, they had to order a new shifter assembly or something like that and altogether it was an estimate of $700 with towing and labor and whatnots. My hope is it will be a little less than that yet. They told me the part was supposed to arrive tomorrow, and that I should have it back by Thursdayish.  And I certainly hope that is true. Because I NEED my car back. I cannot drive my mother’s monster of a van much longer. Not only is it big and bulky, the steering wheel is loose, and I have to put gas in it every other day. So once THAT is all said and done, I’m certain I’ll be making a new post to tell you all about it. But I think that’ll be all for today. Nice a short, two major points, and I leave you with today’s song, which has been quite the obsession of mine for about 2 months now. There IS an english version that I will post the link to as well, but I feel the original has more…feeling to it.

Welcome to the new year, everyone! I hope you all partied to hard, and drank too much, and had too much fun. It’ll make up for all the partying and drinking and fun that I DIDN’T have. I came home after work, which by the way I worked 9-7 at Hancock; one of my longest ever days at one job, and I did some chores. By the time I was done and whatnot, it was just about 1030. So I got into bed, and read a little of my book, watched the clock turn to midnight and then I fell asleep. So much fun, right? But anyways… The turnout from my last blog post still seemed a little…low. So hopefully with more regular posts the turnout will go up. Anyways. On to the meat part of the blog. I mean, we all know why we’re here. This guy. Who I will continue to leave nameless (not even a fake name…like Noah. =D ).I’m beginning to think that it isn’t so much that my people reading skills suck, and don’t get me wrong they do, as much as it is he’s impossible to read. We won’t get too much into it at the moment. Because this blog is viewable by anyone who looks at my profile…and that includes those I have not friended…we’ll keep it simple and short. However, should you want to hear more specifics, you all know how to get a hold of me. =P That was anti-climactic, wasn’t it? I suppose…I’ll give you a little more than that. =P He was looking a little more attractive than usual today. I wish I’d just get up the courage and actually say something to him. !Though I did actually say his name tonight. So proud of myself… Progress WAS made tonight. After getting sassed at once again by a manager. No, dear, I do not care if you’re pregnant. I don’t care if you’re having a bad day. You do NOT sass at me. I have bad days all the time. I have long hard days all of the time. Do I show up to work grumpy and sassy and mad? No. I show up to BOTH jobs with a smile and cheer. Why? Because that’s what is expected. I did not KNOW what you meant by “flipping the pan”. I did not know it needed to be done. Nobody said a word. And you’d think from the time it took me to GRAB the soup, bring it out, cut it open, and pour it in (all in front of you, by the way) you would have said SOMETHING. Like…I don’t know…you could’ve stopped me after I cut the bag open? I do not respond well to sass. I try my hardest not to get angry. I try my hardest to ignore people that do things like that. You’re a manager. It is your job to help the people under you do their jobs properly. What you did tonight was not your job. You had plenty of time to make sure I was doing it right, and you didn’t. Do NOT blame me. Do NOT sass at me. Bring a positive attitude to work, and do your job properly. … Sorry. I do feel much better. I do not enjoy being sassed at. Especially two nights in a row. Anyway. Enough ranting about that. Got off subject there. But I needed that little vent. Thank you. Anyway. I think that is enough for one night. And I’m going to go to bed because I have to be up and at work by 6. Yay weekends! >.> Until next time.
