WITH PLEASURE (and a side of funk)

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:36:48 GMT

Man, today at work was insane. I am so excited for the holidays. I love how busy it is. We had terrible coverage today but none of our customers were assholes. It was just fun. We were killing it, too.

I was adding up some numbers, and according to my bills and monthly income.. I should be saving like $600 a month. But I'm not cause I'm terrible with money. Josh and I were talking about moving out the other day and he finally got fed up with me bugging him and was like "Listen... I could move out right now if I wanted to. YOU aren't the one that's ready," lol, and it's so true! I am terrriblee at saving money. I've never ever been able to. But I want to move out soooo bad. It's all I want. I need to save my damn money and get a second job after the holidays to get some more. I can't keep living with random family members. I doubt my Nana would kick me out but she's lives so far that I spend too much on gas. I also want to start going to the gym again. I've continued paying for it all year and probably haven't gone since February. I just need to get my shit together pretty much.

Maybe I could spend the night at Josh's on the days I open so I don't waste so much gas? I'd also get more sleep that way. And I'd see him more. I haven't seen him quite enough lately...

Oh..another reason I love the holidays...once they're over it means Josh and I have been together for another year. January 13th is our two year anniversary. =)

Geez, I haven't updated in a while. Last night Josh and I and a bunch of our friends went to the White Rhino bar for my manager Erin's birthday. It was so much fun! I stayed on the good side of being drunk all night and Josh and I won $500! Every bar I've been to in Indiana has these little pop tab games you can play, and we NEVER win! Our friend John spent $60 on them last night and I think he ended up winning like $30 or something. He and Erin won $600 the other night, I guess. But anyway, I put in $20 and I was so surprised when we won! Josh and I opened the last one together and we saw 500 and were like WE WON!!! and we were screaming like crazy, haha. It was such a good time. I'm using my half to buy a new phone today...maybe. I have a sort of upgrade available in December, but if it's not that much of a discount(I'll only be a year and a half into my contract, so it said partial idk) then I'm just going to buy a phone outright. Plus, I get a discount on the phones at work anyway. I reallllyyy want a blackberry. I'm so tired of my iphone! The new glass is terribly unresponsive. The only thing I'll miss is the ipod, but I just got my ipod back from the service center at work so I'll have that.

I went to Round the Clock with Erin(Erin Chili, not work Erin...too many Erins)the other night after work until like 2 in the morning. It was a good time. Dusty is a host that we have hated for a long time because he was a dick at some point or another, and somehow he totally won us over that night. =/ I'm not really sure how it happened, but it was awkward and funny and cute all at the same time.

I don't think anything else has happened recently that's worth writing about. I need to get ready for work and call AT&T.

Those little rows have cardboard/paper pieces attached over them that are perforated so when you bend it in the middle they pull off. Both of those ones I won $1 from, but I never cashed them in since they were from my 21st birthday.

I got the Senior position! Yayyyy!! They gave me more $13 so that was exciting. I thought I was gonna have to argue and beg.

It is now November and that means that my life will essentially equal Best Buy. There's only 3 paychecks before Christmas! And I need new brakes! We get paid on Christmas, and that is so unfair. Even if we got paid on Christmas Eve I could still go shop. I need to get my shit together and buy all my gifts soon. I think I'm gonna use all my holiday hours to put my checks at 40 hours if I don't get any overtime. That sucks, but whatever. I need to buy stuff.

I need to go eat something before work now. And then go to work. =(

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 02:10:56 GMT

Well I'm in Bradley babysitting for the night so my Mom and Seth can go out for a Halloween party or something. Maddie keeps yelling for SpongeBob on demand and its really adorable. She and Kate are playing with cheerleader pom poms and are totally entertained. It's awesome.

I had my interview for Senior the other day and I think it went really well. I was REALLY pissed off for a while about what they did to Josh, but there's nothing I can really do about it. I shouldn't not take it just because I'm mad. I'll be doing the same work either way, atleast if I have the title I'll get a raise. Hopefully they offer me atleast $13, if not I'm gonna ask for it. And if they turn me down...well atleast I tried, lol. Nikki said they were going to let everyone know by Tuesday who got what positions. I need this raise, because there's only 3 paychecks before Christmas! Isn't that crazy?! I have a bunch of stuff bookmarked for what I'm getting Josh. I was going to buy him a PS3, but I know he'll never use it and I'll just get pissed off. I'm buying him a bunch of clothes since all of his are practically falling apart and he refuses to spend money on clothes. And if he buys them himself he'll buy them too big. We came to an agreement on shoes.

I also found out his actual pants size and I want to look in stores for some shirts and what have you. I need to think of something personal to get him, too, but I'm stumped on that. The boy has everything he wants.

Ummm, what else has been going on? Oh! I met Erin's boyfrannn Dave today and he's really nice and he's CUTE and I know you're reading this Erin, and I'm so happy for you! They visited me at work today cause it was slooowww and I was lonesome.

Ok, I can' really think about anything else to talk about so I'll go actually babysit now, I guess.

=(

So today Josh found out that he did not get the DCI position he applied for. He also found out that it went to the person who least deserved it. I am really pissed off and sad. I hate when anything bad happens to Josh and it makes me want to beat up all of my managers. I don't want to do my interview for the senior position Thursday. I want to quit. But I obviously can't. I'm scared now because if they completey screwed him over, will they do the same to me? I don't know. I'm tired of working for Best Buy. I don't love it like I used to. It's not like a family anymore. I'm just done. I can't wait until I'm finished with school.

Or until Josh and I win McDonald's Monopoly. =]

Anyway, I've been like the living dead since Thursday. I've had the WORST cold. My mother convinced me it was swine flu, and it very well may have been. I've never had such a bad cold where I couldn't even stand up or...just felt so shitty. I feel better today. I went out with Heather and Erin and we had fun. I miss them. I never have time to hang out anymore.

Ugh. I can't stop being mad at Best Buy. I just want to quit! I want a job somewhere less stressful!

I want to cut my hair. I want to keep growing out the length, but my bangs are being so stupid!

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 23:26:29 GMT

Today was a shitty day off. I went shopping and didn't even have fun. =( I'm at school now and I really just feel like sleeping. Climbing four flights of stairs made me ridiculously out of breath. I need to start exercising or some shit. Idk. I've been listening to "Dat Bitch" by Plies all day. It's a good song.

Ughh. I am not having a good day.

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 03:48:47 GMT

I finally have Christmas figured out for Josh. I was going to get him a PS3, but I know he won't use it. He told me last year he was gonna buy one for himself but knew he would stop playing it after a few weeks. Maybe for his birthday. Anyway, for Christmas I'm going to get him a gift certificate to a paintball field, since he loves that but hasn't gone in like...forever. I'm also buying him a lot of clothes since he won't spend money on clothes and all his shit is falling apart. I got his ACTUAL pant size so he won't be wearing huge ass jeans, and we also came to an agreement on shoes. I'm excited. I want to get him something more personal, too, but I can't think of anything yet! I was going to get him Breaking Benjamin tickets, but for some reason they're playing in the dumbest cities. They're going to Springfield, but not Chicago. Umm...what?

Last night we saw Law Abiding Citizen(which was really good) and hung out at Friday's and got a little tipsy before the movie. My phone died and wouldn't turn back on. Josh restored it and it finallyyyy came back on a few hours ago. It looks so nice now that the screen is fixed. Josh and I have just kind of been hanging around his room, which is very relaxing. We both have tomorrow off so were going to hang around and do nothing. We haven't had days off together in forever. I miss him. I love just being lazy with him.

I'm going to go add some shit to my Amazon wishlist now. Wtf, why does his room smell like pennies?

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 13:45:15 GMT

Well, here's the finished product. It works!

I need to stop taking pictures in my uniform. It's sad.

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 03:50:55 GMT

Josh ordered new glass for my phone. Although I didn't ask him to fix my phone, he keeps saying I should thank him. I refuse to do that since he's enjoying fixing it more than I'll enjoy using it. I've had a love/hate relationship with this phone for quite some time. I took a couple pictures of it to do a before and after. Here's what it looks like right now:

I look really old here...I just got off work, though. That's my excuse at least.

And then Josh caught me taking pictures of my phone and I got embarassed....

He's about to take it apart and I'm way too scared to look. I'll update later when it's all pretty again.

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 01:00:24 GMT

"Young Folks" reminds me of driving to work when I was at Matteson. I miss it. ='(

Josh's second day at Orland was today. It seems really stupid but I don't think it's sunk in yet that we won't work together. I won't see him until probably Saturday...if that. Atleast if we both worked I got to see him in passing. Now I won't see him at all. This sucks.

I need to make a 30-60-90 for my interview. I don't feel like it..but I need to. I also need to do my movie essay for tomorrow. I don't know what to put in it though... I wrote two pages but all it is is a summary of the movie...

I had a good hair day today. I wish I had taken some pictures.

This was stupid.

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 23:11:49 GMT

This kid in my English class is such a d-bag! We're supposed to be writing papers on a movie that we like, and he chose The Passion of the Christ. Ok..that's fine. I udnerstand its controversial...but come on. Could you be more cliche? And he won't stop talking about it! STFU! He's been hogging the teacher for like twenty minutes talking loudly so I'm now typing a pointless entry very loudly to cover up his nonsense. I just want to get my journal checked so I can go study for my midterm in math! GEEZ!

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 17:22:23 GMT

So I haven't posted in a while. I've been really busy between school and work. Josh's first day at Orland is today. =[ I'm gonna miss working with him. The DCI spot at out store opened up, though, because Matt quit!! Josh applied, so if he gets it we could finally move out! And of course we'd be working together again. =] I reallly hope he gets it. I turned in my application for the Senior spot the other day, and hopefully they have the interviews soon. It's so hard finding a second job so I need more money soon for Christmas.

This is my last week of English and I'm so ready for it to be done. I have to write a review paper on a mvoie and that's it. I'm doing Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It will be easy to make it sound..idk smart? I don't even know, lol, but my teacher will love it. Plus I love the movie...

I guess I should get ready now.

I can't believe this.

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 04:38:50 GMT

My first drink as an official 21 year old. I remember Heinekins tasting better. That one tasted like poop.

My first margarita! That was from Red Robin where me and Josh ate dinner before the bar.

My next 5 margaritas! Those things were delicioussss.

John and Johnny having a man talk.

Essentially what I wore all weekend since I didn't do any laundry.

I remember saying I was gonna take a picture of every drink I had but apparently I didn't make it that far...

I don't think you're beautiful, I think you're beyond it.

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 02:08:29 GMT

Hmm, I don't remember what my last update entailed, but I'll just start from somewhere, I guess.

The only thing worth noting at all, was Josh's LAN party. I was bored as fuck before I picked up Erin. I contemplated going home but I figured Erin was bored, too, and it couldn't possibly get worse, so I just decided to suffer it. Holy shit, what a turn around. That night was so fun, haha. We sat on the futon in his basement just sipping on smirnoff and Red Bull and talking about...idk almost everything. At one point we started singing Drake to Josh. "Josh..hey JOSH! Sweatpants, hair tied, chillin' with no makeup on, that's when you're the prettiest. I hope that you don't take it wrong." Hahaha. We tried watching Coraline in 3D on my MacBook, but that didn't really work out. We passed out in his room at some point, then later when everybody left he decided he wanted to sleep by me so I got squeezed in between him and Erin and it was a very uncomfortable sleep since I had no room. I felt like shit the next day as we consumed I don't even know how much alcohol, but it was worth it.

Work has kind of been a blur lately. I've been so busy trying to do a lot of shit. I think our Senior might be leaving soon. Atleast I hope she is. She's mentally checked out and basically doesn't do anything. I made up a contest for the store to get some more financing applications. It's. Harry Potter themed and only a few people understood, but I love it, so I don't even care.

What else? Oh, Josh cracked the neighbors wifi for me so I'm at my Nana's now with actual internet, and I don't have to sit on my phone the whole time. It's pretty awesome. Except watch me get caught and get sent to prison.

I've pretty much been bumming around all day since I got off work. My Papa made me a fruit parfait and it was deliccioussss. I think I'm going to organize my itunes now and paint my nails.

Ugh

I woke up early as hell for no reason. I didn't go to bed until around 2, drunk as fuck, and I'm still up. I don't have a hangover, but I don't feel great, either. I'm off today so I just need to laze around.

This kid comes into our work all the time and posts videos of himself dancing from the iMacs. It's pretty hilarious.

I'm gonn fLl asleep watching f little bear with my hands numb listening to death cab with my bf passed out next to me and soup ntaste in my Mouth: nwwte classy folks

Well I just got done "tanning." I laid outside for about 25 minutes. It was so balls hot and bright outside I had to come in. My phone was also like...melting. It burned me when I grabbed it. I put on some tan accelerator so hopefully if I keep going out I'll get darker. I feel like I'm a littttle bit darker, but that could also be wishful thinking.

I have to work today and I really don't feel like it. =/ I don't know if I have enough gas to get to work through Friday so I'm spending the night at Josh's tonight, and if worse comes to worst he'll have to drive me, haha. I need to save like $300 from each paycheck from now on so that I'll have enough for school. I'd also like to get a second job out here by my Nanas house. I want monayyyyy.

I need to start getting ready in like a half hour. I think I'm gonna put The View on downstairs and ride the stationary bike and quit being a lazy bum.

Goddd, I'm fucking sick as hell. I hate being sickkkk. I hate breathing out of my mouth! I've been sitting at home in sweats and multiple layers, bookmarking shit I wanna buy. And, of course, watching VH1 reality tv. It's honestly my favorite thing ever. I can't even think of a VH1 show I don't like.

I need Josh to get off. I need soup and shit.

Why, yes, that is a little microphone there.

Rest in peace, Izzy. You were probably the sweetest person I've ever met, and wherever you are now I hope you're happy there.

I'm praying for you, too, Vance. I don't know who I'm praying to, but I just hope you make it.

I don't know why, but I find this so funny. My dad LOVES Stomp The Yard. He'll pick it over any movie if it's on.

Ahhhh, it just cracks me up.

I love lazy Saturday nights. I'd much rather lay around in bed doing nothing than be out getting drunk.....atleast once in a while.

This is me downloading random iPhone apps while Joshua Kats watches his WoW DVD and pays no attention to me taking his picture. =]

I'm so happy today. I'm proud to be from Illinois. I'm even proud of the stupid Hoosiers for giving Obama Indiana. I feel really lame because I keep getting teary eyed still. I'm just in awe of the outcome. I think things are gonna get better. Finally.
