I will buy you a garden

Hey, just a quick post to say I'm alive!

( hair cut and new glasses behind cut, oh and minor sploilers for ToV )

Now I don't know what the hell to do with my Xbox. Soul Calibur IV sucks balls, and I suck at shooters, which is mainly what the system has to offer (borrowed Rainbow Six Vegas from someone...major fail). I would trade it in except then I'd never see Vesperia again...what to do?

Anyway, LISTEN UP JERSEY FAGS! I will be coming to visit for a week on June 14th. Spread the word if you read this? Love you guys, can't wait till vacation!!

Things have been pretty tense. They laid off 240 people monday and they're overhauling the entire management system.

The position of 'Floral Manager'...no longer exists. I am now what they call a 'Fresh Foods Specialist' and the Produce Manager is my boss. I am getting paid the same and I'm lucky to have a job but...still it kinda sucks.

I've got to train Gary (produce guy) in floral and teach him how to do my orders and stuff so eventually he'll be able to run floral. You can see what they're trying to do, get one person to do the job of two. Just makes me wonder what they're gunna do with me when Gary is done being trained...

Same thing is happening to all the Seafood, and Food Service managers (they become a part of Meat, and Deli, respectively).

It's going to take some adjusting, to say the least.

edit: Oh and I just found out I'm going to be without my car for about a week. Some guy hit me and took off and it's going to take that long to fix. Yipee.

( Who comments the most on this journal? )

( dialect meme )

I like this meme alot. Like, I find it funny that most people don't know what a 'grinder' or a 'tag-sale' is. I remember confusing my NJ friends (how are guys anyway? I miss you!) with the latter, they had no idea what I was talking about. It's 'yard sale' down there. And 'aunt' is prounouced like 'ant'. Yep.

Nothing new, really. Still working, doing pretty good with the drums...life is okay? I would love to take a vacation, but that probably won't be possible till maybe March. Sigh. The responsibilities of Floral Sales Manager are great, haha.

( Snow White and MY DRUMS! )

So, that's what I've been up to. I wasn't just goofing around when I said I wanted to start a band! As soon as I'm competent enough, I hope to find some people to play with, preferably chicks. I mean, I guess I'd settle for a few dudes, at first, but one day I would definitely like to rock out in a all girl band. :D

The pink DS is new, too (I lost the old one, durhur). I almost got a Xbox instead, since they're cheaper now, but I just couldn't resist glorious Cecil in 3D, I guess.

Also, new Castlevania (with a cool female lead, oooooh) is coming out on the 18th, so, DS still owns my heart.

Finished reading Twilight, today. It was alright, I didn't think I would dig it, but I did. Thanks Liz!

Hello all! I'm alive and well. There are some flashy photos behind the cut to prove it.

( New Haircut! )

Job is going well. I'm doing a fabulous job if the numbers are correct. Car is being a douche. I had a blowout on the highway (scariest experience to date) and I'm broke as hell after getting raped by my bank with overdraft fees. But, eh, life goes on.

Hey , doods, I finally got that promotion! Floral manager, uh. Whatever. It's a good gig for now. I will go back to school sometime I MEAN IT.

Okay...so the new store is about 40mins from my house...but still! Big Money, oh yeah...

Guys, hey, I bet you I'm the only person you know who DRESSED UP LIKE A GIANT CHICKEN today. Haha, it was awesome. I'm pretty good at it too, rocked it like a hurricane. I wonder what kind of money professional mascots make?

and, suddenly, a meme!

1. One secret.
2. One compliment.
3. One non-compliment.
4. One love note, but it does not have to be for me.
5. Lyrics to a song.
6. How old you are.
7. How long we've been friends.
8. And a hint to who you are.

Comment anonymously, of course. Come on, it's fun~!

HAY GUYS I HAS SKULLS.



Picture taken for capslokdethklok, I just really like it. XD

( more pics from around the house. I got cool things )

I've been doing great. I'm kicking ass at my new job...car is running well...yup. S'all good.

So there's good news and bad news. My car died, the old Buick I've been driving for two years. I'll miss it, but I guess everyone misses their first.

R.I.P Blue Thunder (it was fucking louder than thunder)

But! The good news is I managed to get a new (used) car in time for next week! I was really surprised, cause my credit is bad. It's a 97 Honda Accord and it's costing me about 5K. I'm picking it up tomorrow, wee~!

I say 'in time for next week' cause my job is sending me to a different store. It's just for about a month so I can cover for their floral manager while she get's surgery, but it's still pretty awesome. It'll be the first management experience I get and if I do well, who knows, maybe I'll get my own store next? :D

Just got home from vacation and it was AMAZING. I needed it, bad.

First week in Cape Cod we had great weather. I spent the whole time sunbathing, playing guitar, and getting beat at tennis.

Then in NJ I got to see some losers I know. Steve and I played DDR, I hurt my legs. Me and Rich went to Six Flags, I hurt my neck on El Toro. Eh, I think I'm over roller coasters now, it's weird. I'm getting old, maybe that's why. I'm gunna be 23 in two days. WTF? And most of my friends have graduated college this summer. (that means, if I had started outta high school, i'd be done now, so that makes me feel horrible but,) ANYWAYS.

Aldo made me want to buy a Wii, and I think I will. Rich made me buy World of Warcraft. So like, I'm officially a dork now. Officially, er, again. It was waning for awhile, but I guess I can't fight it.

Back to work tomorrow. ;_; Pics later.

It's weird. I've spent all week bragging about how I'm going on vacation for two weeks and being all excited about it.

But now that I'm all packed up I feel so depressed. I'm really going to miss everyone.

I dunno. I feel so lonely right now for no reason at all. Nothing has changed but I feel so unhappy, and that hasn't happened for awhile.

Ah, well. I'm going to stop thinking now and watch the new epidsode of Metalocalyspe. I'll be in NJ on the 14th, hope to see some of you all then.

Guys? I think I have a serious problem with NOT BEING ABLE TO LEAVE MY HAIR ALONE. For real. I'm sick.



Oh well. I just get bored. And it's shitty out and there's nothing to do today. AND I GOT MY STIMULUS CHECK SO I HAD TO BUY STUFF! Seriously, $600 for free. Can we have an economic crisis every year? I love America.

I also bought some really expensive teeth whitening kits. They're the normal trays, but they're attached to this thing that flashes light on your teeth as you're whitening! It's pretty high tech. Like, laser whitening in your own home.

Metalocalypse has stolen my brain! If you can stand blood and guts, go watch it NOW. It's hilarious. And I've never really liked Metal before, but now the music is growing on me. Gah, I really really love these guys, it's ridiculous. they're also kinda slash-able, so that's always good XP

Oh yeah, and I'm going on vacation next month and I can't wait. June 6th through the 19th. First week I'm spending in Cape Cod and second week I'll probably go to New Jersey. So, yay~!

I should really just re-name this journal "The Life and Love of Kate's Hair", since it seems to be all I have to talk about. Pics behind cut + 5min Allelujah cosplay and related spoilers for season 2. ( Read more... )

With the lack of Gundam 00 I've been re-watching Samurai Champloo and trying to catch up on Cowboy Bebop. I'm really wishing I would have watched Bebop before SamCham because now the animation looks so shitty by comparison. One things for sure, I love Steve Blum.

Any NJ tards who were expecting me this month, sorry but it's not gonna work because of car/funding issues. ;_; Instead I'll be taking two weeks in June, so I'll probably take the train down like last time and then have my Aunt drive me back up.

Have your daily dose of adorable-ness here. I love how it hops away in the end. Little shit can jump!

Something really creepy happened yesterday. My mom goes to these group meetings as part of her substance abuse rehab. I usually pick her up cause she doesn't have a car.

So last night I'm sitting there in the waiting room. They're late, I'm getting bored until I finally hear the clapping that signifies they're done. The first person to exit the room down the hall is this kid with spiky hair and a bunch of piercings. I'm thinking; "huh, that guy looks like this kid Brandon I used to know".

Anyway, me and my mom get in the car. She starts saying how there's this boy in group that would be a good match for me. Turns out his name IS BRANDON and it is the same kid!

Man, I'm so glad I changed my hair color, cause I don't think he noticed me. That would have been awkward. This guy wouldn't stop calling me for months and I didn't want anything to do with him because he just came on WAY TO STRONG. Yanno, desperation is not attractive? Yeah.

Small world and all that.

You are not affected strongly by human suffering, priding yourself on making objective judgments based on reason.
