2:54 pm	"hey Jack it's me, I don't mean to bother you, but something's been on my mind" Guess whose mother is a bigot? Guess what I got for $1.99 at the poor store? FILM! Professional Black and White and 3 different types of color. I need to take my GRE. I need to apply for graduation now or else I will forget. Justin has snazzy digs, but those apartments are not what i expected. I am beyond fed up with telemarkarters or however you spell it. I like Stars of Track and Field. Our neighbors got the boot and a million dramas went down their last few days, remind me to tell you about it. Maybe I will go get ready for work.

11:41 pm	blah blah blah blah I just sat watching sportscenter for the last 20 minutes, I was intrigued and I dont know why. Soooooooooooooo, Im down in the dumps. My mom makes me sad. I guess that is all I really had to say, no sense in a long drawn out post filled with whimpers. I dont feel good physically or mentally. Perhaps Rachael Ray will cheer me up? Yes? No? I guess we shall see. Ive been meaning to send Blake a package, but i never seem to have enough money. I feel bad, but right now there isnt anything i can do. I sat down with so much to say, but the words just wont come out. Is it apathy? Oddly enough Im excited for school to start back. I think Justin and I are going to shoot bows and arrows together, maybe, *crosses fingers*, maybe!! DUM DUM DUM but MAYBE not. Lets go to Disney World or maybe an Olivia Cruise, no maybe the Rosie cruises because they are more family orientated. Ohhhhh dear, what am i to do with my life. None of this has made any sense, but oh well. Current Mood: sad Current Music: Lions Mane-Iron and Wine (5 Comments |Comment on this)

3:58 am	I"MMMMMMMMMMMMMM BAAAAAACK!!! Hey there, nice to see you again. Don't give me any grief about neglect. All you need to know is that I dont live at the old apt, I dont work in Ramsey anymore because low and behold someone threathened to kill me. Ahhh well...I make sandwiches now, I support a family. Life is crazy right now. Crazy enough that I have come back to the LJ world at 4:01 in the am. But, I guess my insanity is for your amusement and my well i dont know what it is to me, but its something more than nothing i suppose. Sometimes I think I'm never satisfied. Oh well.

7:20 pm	No more "No big!" I am sad that Dr. Scolnick passed. Criticisms of his teaching aside he was a super nice man, who was always very helpful and very friendly to me. Last year he enjoyed the buttons on my bag. I will never be able to say "I digress" without fondly remebering his classes. Current Mood: sad (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:27 am	"smoking is for europeans and white trash"-Stuart I am two steps from being a European or White Trash, take your pick. Morgan came in my room at 7am this morning to tell me she couldnt get the door to shut and she was late. My response; just leave it open. Bad advice, cause around 8:30 in the am I rousted up and went to shut the door and it was really friggin cold in the front room. Needless to say I couldn't get back to sleep, oh wells I have to be at work at 1:30 so no time for that now. I think I might like Andrew's company as much as Brittany does; but shhhhhhhh don't tell. No actually I don't, I hate Andrew. He pees in our bathroom, leaves unicorn droppings in the hallway, and eats all of my rasinets. The other night he ate my entire bag of gummy worms and then just smiled at me.

12:00 pm	"Sometimes, the last thing you want comes in first.Sometimes, the first thing you want never comes." Spaghetti and Meatballs from a can might be the nastiest thing ever, but considering that for the last 4 days i have eaten nothing but ramen and an occassional bagel with cream cheese, it is a nice change. But I gotta tell ya none of that changes the fact that it does not appeal to my pallet. Funny funny stories to tell, but I'm too lazy to type them out. Matt is staying with me over thanksgiving break so that should be fun. I think I have a deal worked out with my boss where I will close thanksgiving night if i can get friday off so Matt and I can go to Mom and Dad's. I have lost my chapstick, I'm kinda bothered by it. Oh well. It's nearing the end of the semester and I don't have 800 millions things to get done, that my friends, is a weird feeling. A nice, but a weird feeling nonetheless. Yes, ok, wonderful, on we go.....Good day sheriff. Current Music: Strange and Beautiful-Aqualung (Comment on this)

7:59 pm	"I'll be the one they try to break" I am of the belief that you can take any type of rice put it in a tortilla shell, roll it up, eat it, and it comes somewhere close to heaven. Well for me at least. My Marriage and Family class is like sex ed by Dr. Juhan I need to go to the William King to do my paper in art class, would anyone like to join me? Tonight I went to Food City and bought beer, bagels, cream cheese, and tortilla shells. The cashier looked at me like I was retarded. Her look would have only been better had i thrown some condoms and douche up there. I had something else to say, but I forgot. Good day sheriff.

5:52 pm	"DIANE!!!" Paula and I had a late lunch or early dinner, which and whatever have you. It was good to see her, we caught up and gossiped. And of course we reminisced and at one point in time I laughed so hard I was crying. We also spent like 30 minutes trying to remember the name of a front end at Food City that got fired, it was really starting to drive me nuts. Afterwards I drove around for a bit and was reminded of so many things; of how in high school, life is in its simplest form. I think I took back everytime I ever said I couldn't wait to get out of high school because I gotta tell ya sometimes I would give anything to go back to those days when after football games we'd all congregate in my upstairs bathroom and drink Boones Farm, Mike's Hard Lemonade, and smoke ciggs; all those rides through the mountain, everytime we snuck out, cruising through town listening to music, and everytime we thought we were the shit. Good times, good times. I think my recent reminisicing is coming from my own fears of the future. The whole uncertainty of it gives me a headache and harking back gives me a safety net to fall into. I am excited for the future yet at the same time I am terrified. Ahh well so is life and to quote Ben Folds "it sucks to grow up and everybody does." But anywhore....So work is ummm interesting. Ya know how if you go to the grocery store or Walmart at the first of the month and you see the "first of the monthers", well those are the people that i see EVERY day I work. Thats it, thats where they are the rest of the time when they are not at Food City or WalMart, they are in the DK. I have been hit on twice by a skanky man(i dont know if its the bad breath or the alochol that oozes from his pores but everytime he comes in the store i gag), i am getting on a first name basis with people, when I am there by myself I play really cool music, and well i dont know if i like it or hate it, right now it's money so it will do. Today I randomly went into Food City to see some people I use to work with and I talked to Bea for a bit, good ole Bea from Bee. I miss her stories about her grandsons and Harold. Judy tried to talk me in to coming back, i suppose if the DK gig(if you can even give it enough cred to be called a gig) dosen't work out I will make the commute back to there. I would also like to take this time to note that I am saddened by the departure of Tex from Dad's. I wish Tex the best of luck, but it is going to be so weird going into Dad's and not seeing Tex or Tex's picks. *Moment of silence* and its over. Random thought but, sometimes I am hesitant to eat pork 1) i always seem to recall the speech from Pulp Fiction 2)last year in my Social and Political Movements class Ashley smokeface did a presentation on PETA and she showed us this little video about all these horrors at slaughter houses(im sure I posted about it) and when she showed it i threw up in my mouth. But then I remember that I kinda like ham so I get over it. Just thought I would mention that. Sometimes my mom and I don't get along, thankfully today has not been one of those days. I am actually considering hanging around here til she and dad get back because she has been cracking me up and has cheered my soul a bit. Yeah so I think I am going to go study now for the ole Soci test, maybe not who knows. PS: GO VOTE TOMORROW! I don't care who for, just go and exercise your right. GO FLIPPIN VOTE TOMORROW!

10:54 am	"here's my shot at redemption" If it is still raining when I go to stick those nasty ass gas tanks tonight I'm gonna be pissed. Work is work; I have funny stories, ask me about them.

1:36 am	the chill in the air is strong enough to suck a good beer buzz right out of ya "i'm falling apart to songs about hips and heart" Next time you see me remind me to tell you about all my funny work stories. I kind of like the cold weather sans the whole having to wear socks and shoes now, grrr to real shoes. I feel like maybe I should be a barmaid somewhere. Ramsey people, WOW and that is all Ima say about that. I'm oddly sentimental tonight, yet there is no one to reminesce with. Yay for an extra hour of sleep. Boo for having to close the store by myself tomorrow night. Yay for old school Whitney Houston and Madonna. Boo for the district sleeping alone tonight. I had to work a table at open house this morning, it kinda sucked, but oh well. Yeah I think I just got sleepy. Good day sheriff...

12:55 am	"even though i know, i dont wanna know, yeah i guess i know, i just hate how it sounds" So the Ramsey Report for tonight: There is a lady that comes in on friday nights and turns the store into the Casino Ramsey. She plays scratch tickets for a good twenty minutes, but sometimes she confuses me because sometimes she wins a few then she loses a few and then I lose count and Im like what the hell, but she is pretty honest so it evens out. I always push the Halloween tickets on her cause well they need to be sold, but anyways yeah it is kind of humerous. Tonight a man came in and asked me for Kool Kings soft pack, so i gave him soft pack he felt of them and said they were in fact were not soft and made me give him another pack, i asked Mike what exactly was the difference and he and I were both stumped, but apparently there is some kind of difference or something, obvisouly one i have no concept of. I had to deny like 20 people the bathroom tonight, I felt bad, but I got orders ya know, no one in the pisser except employees and the dudette is gonna abide because I have no desire to clean that bathroom. This lady came in and got some bologna, bread, rolling papers, and a 40oz of Schlitz Bull Ice. I put the 40 in a little bag for her and as I watched her walk away from the store she got almost out of the parking lot and took a big gulp and then walked on. I was intrigued, I had yet to see a woman purchase a 40 so I was a bit impressed. It made me almost want to write my Women's Studies capstone on Women That Drink 40ozs, but I know the Wilkanator won't go for it. So tonight randomly Erica Brodine came in the store and i was like what the hell and then Veronica Porter and i was like holy shizzle, crazy to see Clintwood people. I am scheduled to close the store by myself Sunday and Monday nights yet i have no key and no access code for the alarm, hrmmmm. Work really isnt that bad or hard for that matter, but being there by myself after dark does kinda give me the creeps, i aint gonna lie! I'm a pansy and ya know Im in no mood, at any point in time, to be held up or made to feel uncomfy sooooooo. Ok so the Pros of work: a decent paycheck, funny stories to tell, meeting new and interesting people, learning skills that i will have no use for when I'm 42(hopefully), knowing a good 20 minutes in advance when gas is going down, seeing random people that i havent seen it quiet some time, and learning to deal with large sums of money better. Cons of work: Missing out on quality time with friends, missing valuable beer drinking time, missing valuable reading/studying time, missing valuable music listening time, missing phone calls, laundary day had to be moved from sunday to wednesday, there is a slim possibilty of someone putting a gun in my face, and sticking the gas is kinda gross. Does it really equal out? Who knows, alls I knows is i need the paycheck and I can keep a conversation going with the stories I am accumlating....Yeah so I need to go to bed because I have to be at Open House in the morning to work the NOW table and hopefully get some new people interested..Hrmm, oh yeah I am taking a poll: should I start saving money to buy some turntables? Let me know what you think? Rachel+turntables=El Rachinator The Mixmaster General with a Doctrate in Spinning and Scratching???? Yes? No? Maybe? Filter and not Fuel.

1:18 am	"we hit the ground running on empty" Beer is good. Work kinda sucks, but it's a paycheck. I'm going to Clintwood tomorrow to do laundary and get some socks, does anyone want to have lunch or an early dinner with me? Yes? No? Maybe? You can't catch it i promise. I miss sooo many things it is hard to put them all into one short sentence that would not waste your day. I need to get out of SWVA. Just shake it off and go with it i suppose.

12:58 pm	"i'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there." I drank wayyy too much for my own good last night. I'm paying for it today, blah. I start work tomorrow, blah.

2:54 am	"now I'm on the steps to the sidewalk" Hrmmmmm. Today I went shopping because well I needed clothes, perhaps it was more of a want, but thats neither here nor there. So I went to the city of Johnson, I got there and decided I would feed myself. Dum dum dum 2 for 1 happy hour at Ruby Tuesday's...Yesssssss. So over the course of my stay I complimented the waitress on her shoes and her hair. Now ok, lets see i drank 6 wonderful Killians, I however only paid for two. If my math is correct, which it may not be, but I do believe someone got some free beer. So for future reference talk real nice like to your waitress and maybe you can score some free shit, for reals yo. Anyways so yeah I walked around the mall lit up and did some drunk shopping, spent wayyyy too much money, but that's the way it goes. Britt leaves for Greece in the morning, she was cracking me up eariler. My posse peaced out for break today, *emo sigh*, I'm taking Emily out for dinner tomorrow night for her birthday, I've been trying to get ahold of Paula to go with, but noooo someone doesnt know how to answer the phone. I need to get up with Lit and Laura this week as well. I wish money grew on trees. So what have I learned today? Well, I am not very fond of A&F, but I REALLY love the way it smells. I can go into Pet Smart and not buy Sadie something. Petro's Chili and Chips is a funny name to say. I really do enjoy singing to the top of my lungs in the car while driving, but only when no one else is in there....Good day sheriff. At this moment Rachel is currently loving these songs....
