Identity/Age Crisis

As I get older (because 21 is soooo old, right)?!
I'm kidding

Anytime I go somewhere that I have to show ID, like signing up for a CPR class or getting pulled over, or places like work, the streets, the mall....
About 4 out of 5 times I get the crooked eye, raised eyebrow, 'yeah right I don't believe you at all' LOOK.

(Old Picture, from My dorm in CA)

People have come to the apartments, and asked if the apartment manager is there.
Um, I am the ONLY person in that office, sitting behind the desk.
Did you expect someone to come out from the closet, or from a file cabinet?

I went to sign up for a CPR class at THPRD.
I went up the GIRL at the desk and said,
"Hi, I need to sign up for a class but I don't have a current membership."
"um, how old are you?"
Well this confused me and I often speak before I think and started saying 18. Because that's how old you have to be to get a card. Then I said oh wait, just kidding 20.
That probably made me look stupid. Oh well. I got it anyway.

I went to Victoria Secret to buy roos and a new bra, (TMI haha)?
Checking out, the YOUNG LADY who could only be like 17 herself. Asked,
"Are you 18?"
Well OVER.
"Oh really? Well okay did you want to sign up for an Angels card?"
NO. becuase I hate coming here. every employees voice sounds so fake and high-pitched it hurts my ears and ask what panties i like (do you really care because I don't want to share), and you questioned my age. NO THANK YOU.

I got pulled over a tthe end of January, and the policeman asked me if I ever got a ticket.
Yeah like 3.5 years ago. Then he gave me that LOOK and asked how old I was.
YOU HAVE MY LISCENSE! DO THE MATH.

The newer people at Dairy Queen wonder what high school I go to.
They suggest I can't be older than 16/17/18.

Ohhhhhh. But I can be.

One girl said, "Oh I used to work at the Aloha DQ"

My reply, "Oh I used to go there with my friends, I knew you kind of looked familiar"

Her reply, "Uh, I worked there like 3 years ago, you were prolly like 12."

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!

Do I really look that young?
I mean I guess it's cool for when I'm a lot older I might still look this young and beautiful...haha jk
but it's getting out of control.

I always thought I looked older too.

How sad.

Me, Not 12. Nor 17.

and I'm really missing my longer hair.... :(

4-16-2008

I couldn't think of a catchy title, nor did I feel like placing one up there, so I put the date. I think it's important in itself, because most dates you can't even remember what you did. Anyways...I found another post I liked on postsecret (which i LOVE):

I thought it was really funny because my mom used to yell at me and my siblings for leaving things in our clothes. She would either take the money that she found, or put it on top of the shelf above the washing/dryer machines. And yes, I would be the one to take the money, cuz hey! finders keepers right?! But when I started doing my own laundry, I never check my pockets so later when i wore the pants I just watched, I would find all sorts of things, usually money and that was basically the highlight of my day. 

Below this post on postsecret, someone wrote, "It's okay mom, i got it from your purse anyway." HAHAHA oh man, I never took my mom's money, I would usually go to my dad after asking her cuz he would fork it over, and always usually too much, but I thought it was really funny and shared it with the rest of the world. 

So Chloe Sprinkles is a BIG TIME freak of a canine. I seriously think something is wrong with her. She runs laps around my house, going so fast that her fur is blown back and all you see is a darting black torpedo running fast. She is absolutely nuts. She loves leaves and grass. Which is partly the reason for why she only poops in the house, on the same carpet every time. And it's green. I'm not sure if dogs can see color, but I think she likes green things. She also has an infatuation with socks. She will pull them off of your feet and just go crazy! She is also teething, and make a huge gash in my thumb, and basically everything else. She jumps on everything, and hops around like a bunny rabbit. Usually putting her front paws down, then swinging her back paws around. I don't know, I really don't think this is normal. My family is in Mexico so I'm "baby-sitting" her and I am entirely ready for my mom to come home and take over. 

I like her tounge. haha

In other news: I really like my class. I think it is going to get me motivated to start working out again. My teacher is really funny too, although a little weird. And I made a friend, haha. This kid I worked with on the get to know your class" on the first day of school, we were walking out for our first break last class period, and I was going to the bathroom, which apparently is right next to the smoking box, so he turns around and says...

"Do you smoke?"

"uh. No, I just have to pee really bad and the bathroom is right there."

"oh ok, cuz that would be crazy if you smoked, you don't look like a smoker"

"okay. Do you smoke?"

"No, well haha not cigarettes."

"ohhh. i see. that's interesting."

HAHA okay, I thought it was funny, and maybe it is when i say in in person, and not having you read it, but yeah it was like awkward, and a little surprising. Yeah I should be doing my homework for tomorrow, but I will soon...hopefully before I fall asleep.

Man, getting up at 6:00 am really kills ya. I seriously can't stay awake past 11:00pm at the LATEST! But I really like my new job (I'm just saying that for you Nic.... so don't read on...)

Just kidding, it's not bad. I would be doing the same thing, but for myself, in my spare time anyway so it's cool. Today I actually had to use my brain, by trying to solve the mystery puzzle of Halton Rental. And i think I got i figured it all out. We'll know by tomorrow.  

Yeah, well It's almost my bed time and i gotta go smoke some ciggy's while in bed, so...

HAHA oh yeah, I had to take a little test thing (not really a test like a 1 for always 2 for sometimes 3 for never type) for my class, and one of the questions was: "Do you avoid smoking ciggarettes in bed?" ummm WHAT?! that was so weird, I usually sleep in my bed, it's not really where I flick my ciggy's in, but after telling Nathan, he informed me that a lot of older people smoke in bed. So whatever apparently I don't smoke enough to know what's cool or not. 

What a Week

I am glad this week is over. It was great, sure, but very packed. I took Nathan and his parents to the airport, driving the FJ was fun. Although when your used to a little car, you know you can't see over the bridge's walls, however in a lifted vehicle you can. So I freaked out and thought it was my time to die when I looked over and all i saw was water, and not concrete. I survived, don't worry. The next day I had 'the talk' with my mother. Yes, the one about switching schools and changing my entire life. Not as exciting as the 'other talk' would be like, I wouldn't know, I figured that one out in the fifth grade partially because I'm gross, and very open, gotta love those fifth grade boys. hahaha that sounds bad. it's really not. Anyway, after being yelled at for that, i decided i would go ahead and work my plan not caring what anyone thought. So i went to PCC, paid them money, made them sign me for my ONE class, and left. After I left, I figured i should probably pay for that class, but oh well I have two weeks to do so...

I  babysat Nic and Hailey's kids, which is always fun, until someone gets hurts. Or pees their pants, whichever comes first. haha but it was fun, we playdoughed, and watched half of every movie, and cried over the bumbo seat, and had poopy's, and fights over string cheese. Man, I can't imagine what I was like as a child. I wish I could go back. 

We also got a new dog, well my mom got a new dog, it's a lhaso apso/yorkie mix. And I would put pictures up but I think I lost my cable to my camera to the computer. Once I find it, I'll do that. It's black, it's name is Chloe, and it also likes to pee all over the house. WOW.

Oh and me and Jewsoph went down to Western to move my stuff out of my room too. I almost didn't make it because there was a car crash and we think someone died. So we had to turn around, and drive like chickens with no heads. Luckily we found a street (btw, the GPS thing in the FJ, won't let you add a address search. Unless we are completely stupid, we couldn't figure it out) and made it to the office at 4:57 p.m. Just in time, then it took around an hour and a half to move everything. That sucked. And I made Jewsoph late for his workout date with GLO. SO SORRY! but I bought him dinner at the crazy guy teriyaki place in dundee. THey hired a guy who speaks real english, so we didn't see so much of crazy, although Jewsoph asked him for sweet chili sauce and came back with tabasco sauce. hmmm interesting. none the less it was good food.

I worked at Dicks, fri, sat, and sun (today). CRAZY! It was the grand opening. But since we've been opened for two weeks now, i didn't think it would be that bad. Customers were so angry yesterday becuase their coupon wouldn't work on their certain golf balls. One guy told me that "if he ran a business he wouldn't make coupons that excluding things, it's not ethical to do that, and what kind of business am i running by doing that." So i kindly told him that I didn't run Dicks sporting goods, and I also didn't make the coupons so if wanted to complain, he could  probably call the owner of Dicks, Dick himself, or maybe he should try the printing agency who printed the coupons off. Lucky for the rest of them, that was my last customer for the day. Then today, of course it was a madhouse. Greg Oden appeared for an hour, and people were mad that they weren't the first 200 people. I told them that Greg Oden's mother had dinner waiting for him, and since he's still a growing boy, I'm sure he must need to eat too and can't sign autographs all day. They had three others signing downstairs, and all the fans decided they wanted basketballs to have signed. All basketballs sold out. Then half got returned because they weren't quick enough. EH. too bad for them. Obviosuly I LOVE my job. It's great, but I just quit, sort of. I told Baker, who is kind of a douche (me and jayde decided this today), that i was quiting and he just stared at me. So i was caught in a banana! and then said, "well I guess i can still work saturdays" and he said, "oh ok well whatever. I don't care." UMMMMMMM what?! yeah. in a few weeks i'll write and say it's official that we must break up. Our dick's sporting goods relationship will now be over. 

This is really long, but if you read it, you were probably bored, so I gave you something to do :) with no pictures. It's like reading an actual big person book. but here's one that I drew for Kevin because he missed his quad.

The Big Finale

Finals this week, pretty excited because I hate the classes I'm taking. My Substance Abuse teacher gave us a take home final which was a BIG relief since I haven't gone to that class in ohhhhhh about a month. I'm a slacker, I know.

side note: I'm watching A Baby Story on TLC right now because it's the only thing on, and it is absolutely crazy. this lady has like her entire family in the room with her. WHY would you want so many people looking at your vagina?! idk. I wouldn't.

ANYWAY... I'm excited for next semester even though I have biology, but I'm taking classes to get into the dental assistant program at pcc, hopefully next semester. Then after that I can take the rest of the courses I need to get into the dental hygiene program. I'm excited. I have a plan for my life, and that's what I've been trying to find. Now if I could just peel myself away from Dairy Queen, my life will be more wonderful. haha really, though, the DQ just sucks you right back in without realizing it. But I guess they will always welcome me, no matter which one I go to, for when I am suddenly homeless with 8 kids, and can only wear purple spandex shorts and flannel shirts.

By the way: I LOVE working at Dicks Sporting Goods. Even though my feet, back, and everything hurts at the end of the day, I enjoy it and I've made friends who are pretty cool. (well why would I be friends with them, if they weren't cool?! jk)

I'll post pictures when I get back to school. I forgot my usb cable. oops.
