Holy crap, I had a crap-tastic-busy week. I opened all week, which isn't so bad 'cause at least I have the entire evening after 5:30 to do stuff, but most days this week I had crap scheduled for after work so I was freaking busy 'til at least 9:00. Wednesday was lame 'cause I had to fight down-town traffic and drive around for like 20 minutes to find a parking space so I could get my freaking comic books for the week, and then I go home thinking "Oh hey, it's nice out! Maybe I'll go for a walk and then come home and relax and chat with t3h Holly!" and then I walk in the door and mom's like "I'm going to Lowes to get an estimate for laminate flooring! Come with!" so instead of getting to wind down after work, I got to go to a freaking hardware store and sit there bored out of my mind while mom talks to a guy there for freaking ever. Turned out the laminate flooring was too expensive and we completely wasted our time. Wtf.

Thursday at least we got to do something interesting in the evening, even though all I really wanted to do was go home and chill. Instead we went to the auditorium 'cause mom scored tickets to hear Maya Angelou speak. That was actually pretty fun. I may go on about it in a bit more detail in another entry later, but right now I'm pretty drunk.

Friday after work we went to Autumn's house to have dinner and work out. Autumn made us yummy chicken and veggies, and then we worked out with her exercise equipment and her Wii Fit. All in all it was pretty fun. I just wish I hadn't been so tired and totally menstrual-cramp-tastic going into it. I prolly woulda' done more exercise and had more fun otherwise. Even though I didn't do a hole bunch of exercise, my stomach muscles are still really sore today. X_x Just a testament to how incredibly out-of-shape I've become.

Today work was totally stupid. Really slow in the morning, then it got stupid-busy after 12 when all the other banks closed. *lame* Also, I had some iced coffee set aside to drink this morning, 'cause I knew no one else would be up by the time I left for work to make coffee. Then I get up and go to the fridge, and it's freaking GONE! Someone THREW IT AWAY! *cough*MOM!*cough* So I had to go open this morning with NO coffee! LAME! I was SO TIRED AND PISSED-OFF! Luckily I had some Mt. Dew in the tiny fridge at work, so I was able to consume some caffeine once I arrived. That made it a little better, but DAMN, I can't freaking handle people's stupid morning humor. They come in, and say the same stupid stuff thinking they're funny and I'm like "*unamused glare* ... first of all, that's not even funny. It's stupid. Second of all, I don't want to be here, and you're really getting on my nerves..." 'Course, I can't really do that. Instead I have to be like "*forced smile* *fake laugh* yeahh... here's your receipt. *forces smile and mentally curses them out until they go the hell away*" Anyway, after work I came home and we went out walking to the mall. Had dinner and 1 rum and diet coke and 2 glasses of wine each at Applebees, then we went wandering around the mall.

We went in the pet store and I shoplifted a cricket. I mean, it was just jumping around on the floor, it's not like I reached in the cage and got it. I just caught it. Then mom was like "so you gonna' turn in that cricket or what?" and I was like "Wh- NO! I'm going to liberate it." and then mom and Jess were like "omg, that's stealing! You're shoplifting! lolz!" But I took it anyway. I had him clenched gently in my fist and I just walked out with him. I wasn't about to give him back to the pet store person just so they could sell it to someone to feed to their pet lizard. Then I took him outside and set him free. He'll be a wild cricket now. Because of my intervention, that cricket has a new destiny beyond just being someone's pet lizard's dinner.

So then we went to Target to see if they had any new Transformers, and then we went to T.G.I. Friday's and each had ANOTHER rum and diet coke, then we walked home. Now we're getting ready to watch Ghost Rider. We made up a drinking game to go along with it. You drink every time he: Bursts into flames, eats jelly beans, makes a jump on his motorcycle, or kisses a girl. We'll see how that goes. Oh wait, mom just had us take an extra drink to Sam Elliot's voice in the movie opening. Aaaand she's going on about how she'd totally do him. I think I'mma' wrap this up now. lolz

WEEE! So I was off work today. I was supposed to be off tomorrow, but they switched my schedule. So I was off today, and I close tomorrow. Which means I won't be able to go to the comic book store and pick up AHM #7 unless I get a late lunch. Anyway, I HOPE I can get that comic. I wanna' see what happens next, damnit!

I didn't get to do anything fun today. I wanted to clean my room and work on my various art projects, but instead I re-wrote my resume, bought a new ink cartridge for the printer so I could print my resume, and then applied for a job online at the Crane Federal Credit Union. I tried to go there so I could drop off a copy of my resume and s letter of reference before they closed, but I didn't manage to get there until they were just closing. So I hung out and waited for Kate, so I could say "hi" at least. Kate used to work at the bank with me, but she got a better job at the credit union. They get to SIT DOWN at work! OMGWTF! THE LUXURY! 8O!! So, I caught Kate on her way out and chatted a bit. And she said she would give my resume and letter of reference to her boss for me, and tell him that I'm awesome and that he should hire me. Kate rules. X3 I hope I get the job. They don't have mystery shops at the credit union. So NYAH!

It snowed again last night, so mom grounded Jack again. But when I went out to get printer ink, the roads weren't bad at all, so I un-grounded him. His stereo wasn't working over the weekend. The radio was fine, but it wouldn't play CDs, so I was just gonna' get him a new stereo with CD player and AUX port. But then when I started him up on Monday, he was playing CDs just fine. So, maybe he was just mad at me for grounding him.... I guess I'll put off getting a new car stereo for a while longer.

IIII'm a li'l drunk! ...Okay, kind-of a lot drunk. Like... not like I can't walk or anything, but typing correctly is hard. lolz. Hot cocktail ftw. On a cold night, I suggest the following cocktail:

Hot Russian! (like a White Russian, but served hot!)
In a coffee mug, combine:
Double-shot of vodka
Double-shot of Kahlua
Hot milk to taste. (I just fill the mug up the rest of the way...)

It tastes like win. It'll also make you want to go to sleeeeeep.

Napz nao.

Warning: Bare with me here, ‘cause I’m blogging drunk again. But more drunk than last time. Last time was like 4-beers drunk, this time it’s like...5-shots-of-vodka-and-a-beer drunk.

So work Thursday was weird. To start off the day, my boss gave us this big speech about how we're way behind in the number of new checking accounts we're supposed to get each month. Then he starts telling us how we need to stop just telling people about them and asking people if they would be interested, and start actually pressuring people and trying to convince them that they NEED a checking account with us. SCREW THAT!! I WILL NOT DO SALES! I will not abandon my integrity and tarnish my soul by MANIPULATING people into doing something they don't want to do! It's one thing to tell people about the different accounts we offer and ask if they would like to open one, but it's quite another thing to try to pressure them into opening an account when they either don't need one or don't want one. I know I hate it when people try to pressure me into crap like that, and I'm sure as hell not going to do it to anyone else! I'm supposed to get 5 new checking accounts each month. I've gotten zero. My boss has informed me that it is *required* that I meet my goals each month. Whatever. If they fire me, then so be it. I'd rather keep my integrity and live in the gutter than be a soulless-bastard sales person.


Also, they wanted me to give an announcement over the grocery store loud speaker. It made me nervous. I guess if I have any serious aspirations of becoming a voice actor I should take every little opportunity I can get to practice that sort of thing, but I still can’t help but be nervous. Like this one time in Tae Kwon Do, when I had to call instructions for a belt test (I don’t remember for sure off-hand, but I think it was green belts testing for purple belt). I did fine all through the test, but then at the end when I’m supposed to get everyone’s attention to congratulate the people who’ve just graduated to a new belt level, it was like...

Me: “CAN I HAVE EVERYONE’S ATTENTION PLEASE!?”
Entire gym full of martial artists: “YES MA’AM!!”
Me: o_o.... (omg they’re all looking at me OMG OMG RUN AWAY!).....um......would you all please, uh... join me in welcoming our new purple belts!...

But at least with making an announcement over the loud speaker, no one in the store would be looking directly AT me. I got out of it, though. I just put it off until my manager forgot about it. >_>;;


Also, I did a transaction for a guy with the name “Chris Latta.” I wanted to tell him that he had the same name as one of my favorite voice actors, but I figured that would be weird, and we’re generally discouraged from weirding out our customers. Also, I didn’t want him to think I was flirting with him. Not that he wasn’t worth flirting with, ‘cause he was totally hot, but I don’t think most guys like it when strange fat chicks hit on them.


Ooookayyyy....I think that’s enough for now, I’mma’ go up to my room and play with my action figures for a while. ...Then sleep... ‘cause I’m tired, and Autumn’s wedding reception party is tomorrow. YAAAYY!! CONGRATULATIONS, AUTUMN-SAMAAAA!!!!

Weee. Forgive me if this post is unorganized and sloppy. I happen to be drunk at the moment. I just got back from The Player’s Pub, where I went to see the The Swing Rays. It was awesome. Click that link to go to their myspace. They have a few of their songs on there if you wanna’ check ‘em out. They played the Yuppie song just for us. I don’t know why exactly but I really like that song. It makes-a me giggle.


Excerpt from Yuppie Song:

I can’t wait to be a yuppie
I can’t wait to be a square
I can’t wait to be a yuppie
Start wearin’ styling jell
And get this grease out of my hair

I can’t wait to be a yuppie
I can’t wait, I think you know what I mean
I can’t wait to be a yuppie
Take off this leather jacket
And buy my clothes at L.L. Bean


It was all kinds of fun. And I had many beers. Hence the drunkness.

Last night I chatted with Holly and that was fun. ^_^ Holly has a knack for cheering me up when I’m feeling kinda’ down or stressed. Also, I got all kinds a’ ideas for li’l drawings and comics I wanna’ do. I won’t specify right now, because I plan to draw them at some point and I don’t want to give ‘em all away.

Also, I posted a few old drawings (and my two most recent ones) in my scraps on deviantart last night. Here are the links for anyone interested:

Old Piccolo Sketch 3 (I particularly like this one.)

Okay. That’s it for tonight. Gots to get to bed so I can get up for church tomorrow (and hopefully not fall asleep during the sermon, as I am wont to do -_-; Yes, Amy freely admits that she is an imperfect being.) I’m going to see about getting my dad put on the prayer list. Still no news about his situation yet. I’m just hoping and praying for the best.

Off to bed now. (If I can make it. ^_^;; I need some water first, though, or I’ll have a hangover. >_>;;)
Laterz
