   "Nothing could come between us/
One of those favorite things that she used to say/
That's just what she said/
Nothing could come between us/
Sorry to say but I don't feel the same..." -Theory of a Deadman (Nothing Could Come Between Us)

**BONUS QUOTE-AGE**

"I've often found that once the thing you fear happening, happens, you have all sorts of new opportunities." -Ratholin

That came up in a conversation with a new friend. It's all kinds of relevant right now. Anyways.. On to the meat and potatoes of the post..

1. Ring the effing service bell more than once and you'll get sarcasm. And not the nice kind.

2. Don't come to my till unless you're actually done shopping. I won't wait for you when there's other people waiting on me.

3. If I can say please, yes, no, and thank you, then so can you.

4. Hang up your bloody cell phone. It's rude. You're ignoring me when I'm trying to help you. I'll be happy to do so when you're not quite so busy.

5. I'm very good at Tetris. I'm also very good at packing things into bags. I know you just think you're being helpful when you reach for the items I set aside for later, but you're not. You're ruining my plan. No touchy.

6. Get your screaming kid away from me.

7. The stripe on your debit card has been shot for the last six months. What makes you think it's going to work today?

8. When you destroy a display or break some product, do not, under ANY circumstances apologize.

9. I said get your screaming kid away from me.

How can you tell I'm ready for a day off...

"It's time to take control again and be the only one/
It's time to sell your soul again and be the holy one/
Cause I just want to finish this race/
And I don't want to lose my face/
Looking for a new direction crossin' over the road..." -Soundtrack of Our Lives (Infra Riot)

**I think that's one of the very first songs I used when I first started doing this. I still love it..**

So. When you finally get something that you've been wanting do you ever get that kind of... selfish feeling? And then wonder if it was a good idea to ask for it in the first place? Ehhh... I don't really know how to explain what I mean.

For some reason a scene from a show (I don't even remember which one) pops into my head. Where one character tells another to flip a coin to make a choice. And if she dosen't like the result she gets, then she'll know what she really wants. I still haven't figured out how this is relevant to anything. But here we are.

I have a headache. Possible LJ post for all two of you who have access to that.

   "You remind of a man (What man?)/
Yeah, the man with the power (What power?)/
Yeah, the power of voodoo (Who do?)/
Yeah, you do, you do (Do what?)..." -The Atomic Fireballs (Man With the Hex)

Okay, now I need to be reminded to mail my tuition deposit AND to call city hall about my staff BBQ booking. What the hell did I do all day that I wasn't doing either of those things? Working, for one. And later in the evening I got a surprise ticket to go see my sister's annual dance show... *takes a deep breath*

Alright. I don't mind going to these things. It's a couple of hours out of my day to support my sister in something she loves to do. But for the life of me, I cannot believe the utter, bloody rudeness of the world today. The owner of the dance company politely informs the audience at the beginning of the show that there is no flash photography or video recording allowed. She has hired a professional to produce a video that can then be ordered. It was absolutely amazing how many idiots blatantly ignored her politeness and went ahead and snapped pictures at will, with the flash ON, no less, made recordings on cell phones, digicams and camcorders, talked through the whole show, walked around in the aisles... I mean, Jesus H... I'm a polite person, but I very nearly yelled at a few people. I mean, it's all fine and good that you love your kid, and it's very cute that he or she is dressed up as a cute little bunny or a duckie or a fairy or a princess, but come on. You're being rude to everyone else in the audience, you're being rude to not only other people's kids on stage, but your own kid as well! Sorry to pull this out, but... for fuck's sake... Get a clue, people.

And I think I said it before, but I'll say it again, I don't think I've ever seen so many ponytail extensions, false eyelashes or pairs of booty shorts all in one place...

In other, better humoured news... I am now in posession of a 6 string guitar. 10 times easier to tune than the 12 string (esPECially with my digital tuner that I have never screamed into to see if I could scream in tune...*cough*), easier to play, but dosen't sound nearly as good. I prefer steel strings over nylon. Much.

That was a long one today. I hereby reward you with... Lame one-liner #71: (because 69 and 70 are altogether too religiousey) Despite the cost of living have you noticed how it remains so popular? Yeah yeah, I know... what kind of reward was that?! Goodnight everybody!

   "On the inside/
Do you know what you're about/
When I see you/
I wanna free you/
'Cause you're always freaking out..." -360 Swirl (Hey Now Now)

**Old and poppy... not at all like me...**

So nice to have the Managers gone still.. Everyone is so relaxed and the bakery ladies are actually singing and dancing rather than calling their Dept. Manager the 'C' word. I admit, she's an absolute nutcase, but in my mind she does not yet merit the 'C' word. I've mentionned her before, she's Slovakian (or something) and is always going on about [Slovakian accent] how I'm such a wonderful person and that one day I'm going to graduate and get married to a wonderful man and be happy because I deserve to be happy because I'm such a wonderful person...[/Slovakian accent] Ehhh... I suppose a person can only handle so much...

Still no sign of coke guy. *Wayne Campbell voice* He will be mine.... Oh yes... He will be mine..

I must send my Uni letter of acceptance back with my tuition deposit. DON'T LET ME FORGET!

   "With you on my mind/
And my heart held in your hands/
Screaming/
Break me..." -City and Colour (Casey's Song)

**Would you believe that those four lines are the entire song? And WHAT a song.. Love it...**

All the managers at work are going to be gone for the next couple of days. That's going to be sooo nice. Just a little bit of Super Happy Fun Time. Heheh.. We can a) have a bun fight. b) make fun of people who aren't there to defend themselves or c) stand around and have a "Safety Meeting". Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt. Either way, I'm planning to do my best to stare down the coke guy (should I see him) and at least make an effort to stare down new bakery guy. He's a doll too.. and the good news is that he's starting to loosen up a little. Haha! Everyone is really really shy up until the point we have a staff party. Then we all get loaded together and bond, and then we're the best of friends. It's really quite hilarious. Only trouble is, they keep hiring high schoolers. I almost feel bad corrupting them... Almost.

So.. Hanyways.. This map that I've got? Turns out that it's from a 1964 issue of National Geographic. Maybe I should just go buy a new map to put you guys on.. Meh. In any case, I need to stop by the stationary place and find some of those little post-it flags. I think those will work nicely. And maybe some different pins. We'll have to see what I come up with. But this is a project definitely want to complete. I always get sidetracked and end up with ten half finished things.. Bleh..

"'Cause nothin' lasts forever/
And we both know hearts can change/
And it's hard to hold a candle/
In the cold November rain..." -Guns'N'Roses (Cold November Rain)

I've been absent the last little while. Sorry. I just haven't really felt like visiting many sites, and haven't felt much like posting. Mainly because I don't have anything to say. I guess that's not much different from any other day though...

I mostly just want to thank you guys for coming back all the time and being such great friends. It means a lot to me, and even though I keep cutting my friends list shorter and shorter, the people who matter most to me are still around. So, hugs and loves.

As I was doing my closet purge a few weeks ago, I found an old National Geographic map of North America. I though it might be kind of cool to mount it on some corkboard, and stick in a pushpin with a little flag for each of my friends. Neat idea, eh? Seeing as I have a general idea of where most of you live. Heheh.. if you don't want to say, just let me know the nearest major city, and I'll stick you there. Don't worry, I'm not a stalker! XD

No song..
Brain is fried.

Got up on a lovely holiday Monday to find that my dog was missing. Someone left the gate open or something and he got out during the night. Panicked for a while, drove around for a while. Wondered why no one had called since our number is on his tag. He DID eventually come back on his own. Obviously he'd rolled in something dead. Gross.. Bathed him. He needed it anyways.

Anywho, parents went off to buy a fancy new BBQ. It's pretty fancy. And shiny. I was more enthralled with the gigantic box it came in. I hid in it, popped out and scared the cats. Then I put the cats in the box. Little things amuse me..

Anyways.. busy thinking about stuff. Not happy to be doing it, but hey, gotta do what ya gotta do. Night everyone. And before I forget, Lame one-liner #64: They told me I was gullible and I believed them. *cough* Laaaame...

"So there goes my life/
Passing by with every exit sign/
And it's been so long/
And sometimes I wonder how I will stay strong/
No sleep tonight..." -City and Colour (Hello, I'm in Delaware)

Why can't people just 'effing think before they speak? You know? Maybe that part of the brain is missing, the one that says to you, "hold up there, say that and you're gonna get your ass kicked." This is a totally different person than the one I've been babbling about all week.. God. It's no wonder I hate most people...

"So let's face it, this was never what you wanted/
But I know it's fun to pretend/
Now blank stares and empty threats are all I have/
They're all I have/
So drown me, if you can..." -City and Colour (Day Old Hate)

With a gentle push (which was more like a much needed kick in the ass) from Oreana_Minamino and ThiefKingBakura over on LJ, I sent it. No changing my mind anymore. Now I play the waiting game. And later on, probably the crying game. That was my lame attempt at humour tonight. Get it? Ehhh... *facepalm* Not much of a post. No one-liner tonight. Sorry. I seem to be using that word a lot lately..

"So steady as she goes/
Well here we go again/
You've found yourself a friend that knows you well/
But no matter what you do/
You'll always feel as though you tripped and fell..." -The Raconteurs (Steady As She Goes)

I think there's a wasp's nest somewhere in or near my house. There was one flying around indoors this afternoon. I trapped it and put it outside.. sting free.. Actually, there was a rather large bumble bee flying around the kitchen the other night too.. Not to mention the spiders.. Insect crossroads..

I forgot to set the VCR for Prison Break before I left for work today. Called home and told my Dad that it was a matter of life or death. I don't think he believed me. But he taped it for me anyways. I have yet to watch it, but I bet it's killer.

Anyways, I think I've figured out what I want to say, and how I want to say it. All that's left to do is type it up and be damned sure I want to send it. I know this is all very cryptic, guys. And I'm sorry, but I know there are people who might check up on this journal who I'd rather didn't know any details. Dani, I may, at some point, do an LJ entry about it, so you'll find out what I'm babbling about..
