new journal.
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) _everglow
i added you all. add me back, or i'll probably feel unloved.
i'm hoping that with a new journal, the content will become slightly more tolerable. and i mean tolerable to me. and maybe someday i'll even give it a new layout instead of just copying the layout from this journal!

i have approximately an hour and a half before i go into work (andrea actually called me in early, but since i like her i agreed to it, um, agreeably) and i imagine that should be a lovely chunk of time to spend uploading and posting pictures, so that is what i shall do.
and now, an outline of sorts of the past few days. mostly stuff about the show friday night. it's rather long, so i'm going to cut. yay.
( i guess you've gotten more than you may have wanted )
now, i like to be able to SEE what's going on in pictures, so i resized these so they are still relatively large. not mammoth, but they'll probably be slow on dialup. apologies. captions only when necessary.
( i'll bleed for you so you'll never feel this way again. )
the end. finally.

ah, valentine's day. i'll get back to you tonight on how much it sucked. my brother went to visit my dad yesterday and came back with a little valentine my dad gave me. the thought is nice, but since i am not 10, my dad is not exactly the ideal valentine.
last night sleepless in seattle and you've got mail were on right in a row, so i watched them both even though i've already seen them 900 times. you've got mail makes me think of that episode of undeclared where all the boys were sitting around watching it in their dorm. i'm excited for that show to come out on DVD. the main character was named STEVE, after all.
slept a bunch last night. i figure i should catch up while i still can.
"we'll enjoy 2 more days above normal temperatures before some cooler air spreads into the state." that's kind of ironic.
i'm procrastinating horribly this morning. i really feel like just sitting around catching up on lj and watching x-men...NOT going to work. one day off was just not quite enough. it's alright though. it has to be alright, i don't have any other choice.

closing only sucked about half as much as i expected it to. that was nice.
i went to ames with my mom and summer today to do some wedding shower shopping. we ate at panera, but i was unable to get an IC mocha because my tuna sandwich cost too freaking much.
then my crazy brother called me and wondered if i wanted to wake up at 6 tomorrow to go to burlington. i explained to him that i wouldn't get home from work until 2am and that tomorrow is my first day off in a long time and that i'd rather hug a cactus than wake up at 6. so he said, "what about 9?" and i told him i had to go. i did. i had to go get a pack of jones soda berry lemonade. very important. or, if you're cheesy, berry important.
speaking of cheesy, i think i'm probably going to have to rent the notebook soon. i've seen a bit more than half of it already, but what better thing to do on valentine's day than watch a depressing romantic drama based on a nicholas sparks book?
the fortune cookie quote on my jones soda lid says "a pleasant surprise is in store for you." so now when i wake up tomorrow and realize that i am married to jesse lacey, i can think to myself, "i should have known; the jones soda bottle foresaw it!"

so...closing tonight was actually fun. angie came in and i was so, so excited. i haven't seen her in forever and i didn't know she was in town, so that was a happy thing. also, cindy brought us lots of chocolate. and then...i sprayed chemicals in tyler's eyes. at least it made for a kodak moment.
all in all, a very satisfying time. it'll suck closing on saturday though. and i doubt i'll be in a chipper mood tomorrow. i can't wait for a day off. =/

yesterday i saw this chick go through drive with a james dean license plate thing on the dashboard of her car. i told her i liked her james dean. she seemed appreciative. now i want a james dean license plate thing.
recently i received a magazine with an article in it on some chick. she looked familiar to me. then it hit me, and i said "oh, i recognize her from last season of 24!" my mom, who has not seen last season of 24, still bothers to ask, "who was she?" i tell her she was the girlfriend of one of those mexican drug dudes. and what does my dear mom say? she says, "did she last longer than debbie?" if you watch 24, you better find that amusing.
this brightened my day. i hope hey dude comes out. all those old shows are such a comfort blanket and i'd love to watch them again. clarissa is a good one too. she had an awesome theme song.
You're Kumar Patel! You like to have a good time,
but are still able to think about the future
and follow your destiny. And still find that
perfect food.
Wait, is that from a fortune cookie or something?

i'm freaking sick of freaking valentine's day commercials.
highpants kyle has never seen edward scissorhands.
closing tonight better not suck too much. if it does, i'll be dreading saturday even MORE than i currently am.
emily has the "splendor in the grass" poem in her away message. <3
sucks that i have to tape my guilty pleasure teen dramedy this evening and probably won't get to see it for several days. my next paycheck better be good. i haven't had a day off in forever, and i miss my seth cohen.
i really like that constantine dude on american idol.
if i were smart, i'd go back to sleep for several hours before work. but i'm not.
at some point i realized i should probably get my website in working order of some sort so i don't feel bad about taking up a bunch of someone else's webspace and using it essentially for a place to host all my pictures. easier said than done. i haven't created a decent layout in like a year.
diet coke. i need some diet coke. some cold, fresh diet coke.
i have this dilemma. when i get paid, my mom wants me to give her like 200 bucks for various bills that i have her pay until i get my checks. but here's the thing. i have a $91 bill that comes directly out of her account the day BEFORE my next paycheck after the coming one. it seems to me that she could cut me a little slack, considering that kati is coming and i need to have some funds to get steve an oil change and lots of gas and to see hellogoodbye and things of that nature. i mean, it's a day. a whole gosh darn DAY that she would not have $91 dollars. eh.

steel train - better love |

three things.
1 - i have such a crush on the nice guy at family video and i really can't figure out why.
2 - i am mad at diet coke. they say 1 in 6 wins a free diet coke? right. i've bought, like, 30 and gotten ONE free one. and that was from the FIRST one i bought. so discouraging. diet coke should not conspire against such a loyal customer as myself.
3 - you know how you have random guilty pleasure songs that, while totally NOT cool, you still love and get excited when you hear them after a long time? yeah, faded by souldecision is totally that for me.
alright, that's all. thank you for your time. good god it's disgusting outside.

my chemical romance - to the end |

more bizarre dreams. i was living in some post-nuclear world or something, and parts of separate families that had been split up were living together for practicality or something...mandy moore was my magical fairy...my mom was living with smith jared from sex and the city...but then he had to go somewhere, and we moved in with this new guy, who seemed nice...i was excited about my new room because the kid that HAD been there before the nuclear disaster had an awesome DVD collection.
i went to work...amazingly, despite nuclear disasters, i still go to work at taco john's...i was working with ANGIE and mark, but we weren't really working, we were just sitting out in the dining area checking our okcupid mail. i went to ben jelen's website and he had listed his grades (?!) and i noticed that he had gotten a C- in "typing o with the correct finger" so i was trying to type words with o in them and mark kept screwing me up and typing different things...then toni offered us some mistake nachos, but angie didn't want them because she said "i haven't eaten meat on my nachos for years." so then angie and mark left but i had to stay and close, and i asked mark if he would be up when i got home and he was like "yeah, i'll be on my computer, come and hang out..." you see where this is going - mark was my new nuclear fallout housemate, apparently related to the dude my mom and i moved in with.
there was also a whole bit about cheesecake, but that's a story for another day.
i'm currently downloading a clip of a new backstreet boys song. my mom is going to be thrilled. she's been looking forward to this comeback for, like, three years. i can't see myself getting as into them as i did when i was 13...that's just not my kind of music, for the most part...but still, i'm interested to hear it.
it's pretty. i hope it's not a single, though, because there's no way this will get any airplay.
steve is really irritating me lately. AND he won't let me restore him back to a couple weeks ago, before he was irritating me. freaking viewpoint media player ad is driving me insane. excuse me while i go throw a fit and restart my computer to get rid of it.

um. so...worked today. crazy, i know. i don't remember much about it. a bunch of fairly entertaining things happened, but like i said, i don't really remember them. just that they were entertaining. and of course there was the eddie morris encounter. eddie is always a day-brightener. i almost mean that, too. he may be strange, but he is always amusing. plus i see him pretty much everywhere, so maybe he is like my fairy godmother, sent to amuse me every couple of weeks so i don't go crazy. this week i got to meet his "most excellent" girlfriend. see, here's where the fairy godmother theory backfires: my mood can't be truly brightened because i see that even strange eddie morris has found himself a significant other.
work tomorrow, day off on tuesday. i'm sure my day off on tuesday will be just as exciting as my day off yesterday, where i slept pretty much the whole afternoon.
in other news, i need to stop updating this journal because nothing freaking happens to me.

i sent my mom a gmail invite...she made her user name "pskywalker." we are officially the awesomest people in the world.
today i'm a two (five). i hate that. so much. i have no idea when i'll be getting off work. i'm really hoping for two-ness. i could use it today. i need a nap. i had a peaceful dream last night. i don't know where it came from, but i was visiting a beach house of some sort and when the tides were high the water would come right up within a few feet of the house and i went out to wade in it with the puppies and take pictures.
angie has rescheduled that freaking irritating double date for this weekend. she is nothing if not persistent. but seriously. i don't want to go.
my mom is going to be gone all weekend...she's going with my grandparent's to des moines for their 50th anniversary. they're strange and they invited my mom along. they're going to take her to see mamma mia and stay the night downtown.

To see an ocean in your dream, represents the state of your emotions and feelings. It is indicative of some spiritual refreshment, tranquility and renewal.

beautiful day today. made even more beautiful by the fact that i can look forward to having tomorrow off work. nothing much happened. it was just a monday. you know how it goes. the schedule for next week got put up already, and it seems that thanks to the new girl getting arrested on saturday, gary is so desperate for closers that i get to pinch hit. i DESPISE closing without someone semi-awesome there with me. yuck. damn the new girl for being arrested!
i slept and slept and slept last night. i think i unintentionally fell asleep around 830. so sad.
and that's the unexciting life of me.

steve works! this is good news. now i can transport myself to work and to the "exotic locale" of cedar falls! ricardo seems to think steve is in great shape. it amazes me what an awesome car steve is, considering his age and how suckily i take care of him.
there's a new person at work. she's...middle-aged and trashy. i'm not thrilled. she's quite a talker, too. she'll fit right in. today she was babbling about "i love my husband...but i hate him...but i love him..." and mark was making the funniest faces over her head to express the fact that he thought she was nuts. ♥
i slept 11 hours last night. i assume this means i won't be tired for a long time. this evening i shall be doing exciting things like laundry. and also watching the oc. it'll be awesome, i promise.
my mom keeps telling me i shouldn't go to cedar falls because the weather is going to get icky and i won't be able to come home. she hasn't caught on to the fact that that is actually the plan. heheheheh. evil cackle. heheheheh.
things to remember to do tomorrow before i leave: clean the sink, so my mom is nice to me. go to the post office, so yammy gets her stuff. get steve gas, so mallory makes it to cedar falls. that is all.
i got to hang with highpants kyle a bit today, since i was backing him up and, unsurprisingly, he requires a lot of backup. i also chatted with kristy about donnie darko because at one point she was walking around with a stack of buckets sticking out from her chest and it reminded me of the movie. i can't help it.

( close enough. )
i am cold. and not looking forward to my upcoming days of work. i have been spoiled with short shifts and days off, so now i'm not really into this all day working thing. tomorrow i get to bring in my note for gary that will irritate him. i'm requesting days off really far in advance. he'll forget.
it's amazing i'm not asleep right now. i couldn't sleep last night for a long time. i was extremely hyperactive. i really don't have anything to say, but i feel obligated to say something in addition to the quizzes.

my mom is hooked on 24 now. she claims that she wouldn't be if they hadn't kicked off the season with all those back-to-back episodes. now, she says, she HAS to keep watching to see what happens, even if she doesn't really want to. she doesn't know what she's talking about.
my baby lex got a haircut and looks silly.
currently i am in the process of doing all the gross paperwork (which is actually mostly online) necessary for me to transfer schools this fall. it sucks though because it's not just transferring...there are all sorts of complications due to the fact that i have no money, can't get a parent loan, had the weird bout at MCC, so on and so forth. in addition, i freaking hate fafsa. but i would like to get out of this town at some point in the near future, so i will continue to do it all.
i really want some diet coke.

emily and i are going. i'm excited. that's a rather large concentration of bands that mallory enjoys.
anyone who cares to know much about my day yesterday should just read emily's journal, because she mentions all the important stuff.
my schedule for next week is decent. i don't have monday off, but i'm i'm lucky i only work 11-2. and i have taco tuesday off. that's entirely awesome.
last night i was in the middle of a few aim conversations and i hit some weird combination of keys accidentally, and i was disconnected just as tim was saying RaideRam (1:56:18 AM): and there will be storm troopers. i almost signed back on just to see the rest of that thought, but i was so dead tired. i slept pretty obliviously for 9 hours last night.
there's an article in tv guide about the new season of 24 that freaks me out a little. i'm sure they'll make it work, but the fact that pretty much none of the same people are going to be in the cast makes me a little sad. and of all people to have return - CHLOE?! geeeez.
i found new pajama pants. they are yellow and green. i like them. that about covers it.
