I had a dream (after Travis left for work) that there was some kind of killer on the loose. My parents had a new house and Travis went somewhere...anyway, I went to my parents and my brother and sister had some kind of trap laid out in case the guy went to their house. The next morning, I went to their house (Travis was somewhere...either chasing the guy or something, I don't know) and we could see foot prints in the snow on the roof, then on the ground. I was with other people, I don't know who they are. But we were saying how the trap must have worked and scared the guy off. He had gone out the window leading to the roof and then jumped down and ran away. The police were there and I went inside the house. It was really nice inside and somehow looking at the window, I saw how everything happened the night before, like I was there. At this point in the dream, I think my brain did put me there, cuz as I'm remembering what happened with the man, he tried to attack me and take me with him. That seems to be the reason why he was there, cuz I was. Well, anyway, I walked through the house and didn't know my way around. I spent the night there and the next morning I went outside to show the neighbors the foot prints the man left. I was carrying a cat, who was kind fat and wouldn't sit right in my arms and I saw the lunch lady from my old school drive past and I tried to wave. The neighbors did come over and I showed them the prints. I said, "See how it looks like he was in bare feet or socks?" And then my mind in the dream went back and remembered something about how the man lost his socks. I don't remember now. Something happens in between this and I don't know what it was. Then I was in a really long dining hall. Everything was peach in color and there were fancy chairs with lace around the seat pillows and they all had big black numbers on them. We kept rearranging them and running after this man. There were a lot of people with me and I don't know who they were. I think Travis was there. I stopped at a doorway and someone talked into my ear and said something like, "I bet the room you see is beautiful." and I shook my head. I didn't like the room. Then someone handed me a gun and I screwed a vial on the end and then aimed it at the guys forehead. They said I could shoot him anywhere, but I wanted to shoot him in the head. The vial stuck in his head and the poison went into him. When he fell to the ground the police came and put him in a body bag. Suddenly, it was a girl in the bag and whenever I looked down her head always moved. I saw her eyes move and then her head fell over and I started yelling that she wasn't dead. That's all I really remember. Work called at 9:46 this morning to say that a girl wanted a full set but she could only come at one. I have to pick Travis back up at the house at 2 to take him to work. It takes two hours to do a full set, so do the math. Anyway, they said on the message that they weren't sure if it would work for me because of the car and stuff. So I called them back and told them no, it won't work out. Ten minutes later they call me off work completely today. So this week I will have worked only two days. Yesterday and tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow I'm allowed to work cuz I have appointments. Whatever. 6:54 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Tuesday, January 25, 2005 Well, I bought the domain! Yay! And I did make a new layout. Jelena and I are going to be sister sites now. She is the sweetest person. I got my hair colored on Saturday. At first I hated it. It made me so sick just thinking about it. They dyed my hair back to it's natural color (which is a level three...very dark!). Then they took sections just underneath a layer of my hair and colored every other one blonde and the other ones the same level 3, but red. Well you can't see the red, just barely in the sunlight and the blonde chunks are HUGE! So my boss said she wanted to put more blonde in it and that she would cut it on Tuesday (today). Well this morning, I went into the living room and I heard my phone beep. I thought that Katie might have tried to call me, so I took my phone out. It was work. They left a message telling me not to come in today cuz I didn't have any appointments and blah blah blah. I went in anyway to get my check and they suddenly remembered that they were still working on my hair, so they got the other new girl to add more blonde (which they STILL need to add more, lol) and then she cut my hair. It looks a lot better now, I really like it. I got three W2's so far, and I'm waiting on two or three more, lol. Oh my...I'm a loser. 8:57 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Sunday, January 16, 2005 I'm hungry. We made steaks, pasta salad, and I made a baked potato tonight. It was delicious. But now I'm hungry again. I also cleaned the bathroom. Everything but mop the floor. That part sucks. Well, I went to Cyber Pixels and bought a hosting plan AND a domain registration. I'm guessing that it's going to be set up on Monday, since it hasn't yet and the charge to my bank account is dated for Monday. = Anyway, I might make a whole new layout for the new domain name...but there's a good chance I won't because I'm just plain lazy. We are going to church tomorrow. They are having something after it to celebrate everyone's birthday. But we also got invited to go eat wings at a bar with people Travis works with. Hmm, what to do. 1:50 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Friday, January 14, 2005 I really don't want to go to work tomorrow. I only have one appointment and it's at ten freakin thirty in the morning. And that's it. I have to be at work at 10, so I have to get up at 9:30...yay. = I wonder if they'll notice that I did my own hair. Or that I stole my hair color. It IS mine, though. I paid for it. =P 1:46 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Wednesday, January 12, 2005 Well, today I went into work and found that ALL of my orange wood sticks were gone. I'm so pissed off. Also, there were like 20 new files put in my file jar/cup thing. I had two or three sitting out that needed to be cleaned and they were gone. I even threw a file in the trash because it was old and yucky and it was BACK in the jar! I'm going crazy. I swear to God. BUT, they let the new girl go home BEFORE me *evil laugh*! The only reason was that I had a girl scheduled at 7 for a fill-in, which usually takes one to one and a half hours to do. So I was left alone at work and I decided to grab the pink hair color that I bought so I could do my own hair over again at home. As I type, I have little foil squares all over my head. I want to leave it on for a while since I don't have a hair dryer to sit under. Ok, so a few months ago I got a bad case of dermatitis on my face. It started in October as just a small dry patch. I thought it was the Benefit Georgia powder I got. So I stopped using it. But the dry patch just kept growing. And it got really red. It was also very itchy, up in between my eyebrows and on my forehead. Eventually it got so bad that I had to wear heavy foundation and powder every day. The rash spread around my eyes like a mask, and a big patch was on the middle of my forehead. It didn't get on my nose or my lower face, it was really strange. Finally, when it started to hurt (and scare people when they saw me without makeup) I went to the doctor. I had to pay $75 just for him to look at me for 5 seconds and perscribe a cream with steroids. The cream was $28 (and this was the Thursday before Christmas Eve.) By Christmas I looked somewhat normal w/o makeup. Well, anyway, I stopped using the cream and my face was fine. It was still a mystery what caused it to flare up in the first place, but I started using face wash again and that didn't do anything. So the other day I see two breakouts on either side of my nose and decide to dab a little makeup on it to make myself look better. I used powder to. Well, wouldn't you know it, now I have two patches of dermatitis on either side of my nose. I had to get the cream out again. My face sucks. It never used to be this sensitive. What is the problem now? 9:15 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Tuesday, January 11, 2005 Wow. I'm bored. I was going to watch a movie at Becka's tonight, but I didn't think we'd have enough time. We're going to on Thursday. When I went in to work today, I saw something on my manicuring table. So I took a look. Someone had laid out all my orange wood sticks. (You have to know something: I HATE it when people touch my nail stuff. Nothing bugs me more. That's why I quit Simply Tan. The crazy lady who managed the place kept moving my stuff around.) There was a note under them, so I read it. It said, "Please remove cotton and sanitize. Thank you." It was written by my boss. =P She knows nothing about nails! When she has an opening in her day, she'll just go around and "clean" things. She's supposedly a "neat freak". She says that and so does her family...so why does she need to hire a cleaning woman for her house? Anyway, the note really ticked me off. I have a system. I use all the orange wood sticks until I run out. Then I take all the cotton off the ends and start over. Same with my files. I use all of them and then when I run out, I take them all and clean them at the same time. So it really made me mad that she thought I was just like throwing them around and being lazy (I mean, she already thinks I'm lazy because I sit around all day and do nothing...but that's another longer story that I will continue below =D) and that she could tell me how to take care of my tools. The second thing that makes me mad is she thinks alcohol sanitizes everything. She was showing me how to do electrolycis once and she literally soaked everything down in it. I have news for her. You can't sanitize wood. Doi. Why do you think we put cotton on the end of the orange wood stick? Cuz THAT'S what makes it sanitary. The cotton is what you use, so when you remove it, the wood is still clean. This is really bugging me. I can't handle working there anymore. I had a no-show today. I get those a lot. And my boss almost acts like it's my fault. She always gives me this weird look. And what sucks even more than being stood up is after that, I have nothing to do for two hours. What's hilarious is that I know everything that needs to be done at the salon. But since they hired a new girl a few months after me, I have nothing to do. Because SHE does it ALL! If someone finishes a hair cut, I'll go to sweep up after them, but she already has the broom. I mean, other people that work there are constantly making fun of her, saying how she always has the broom and stuff. Do they NOT see that something is wrong with this girl?! I can't stand her! Because of her, I get sent home early all the time because I'm just sitting around with nothing to do because SHE does it all. And you know why she has all that free time?? Because she SUCKS at doing hair and rarely has any appointments. Most of her clientel has all been walk-ins. The other day I noticed SOMEONE had taped a note to the front desk that says, "Keep busy. A list of things to do" and it has all the stuff that the NEW GIRL DOES ALL THE TIME!!! I just want to rip it down and tear it up. I already printed out a new resume to take around to some different salons. I'm also thinking about applying at a florist. That sounds cool, right? I might be allergic, but it pays more and will give me more hours than the salon. =P A few months ago, I was going to the chiropracter three times a week. And we don't have insurance. I was paying $36 every time I went! To show how much my hours (and paycheck) have gone down since then, I couldn't afford going ONCE a week now. Before this morning I had $1.24 in my checking account. Granted, Travis has his own account and money, but I can't expect to just live off him. We'd be stuck in this two-room apartment for the rest of our lives. Blah. My head hurts. 9:46 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Well, we went to the bank today and got all that figured out. They're not going to charge me or anything, so that's good. I bought a designer cell phone cover for the butt ugly phone my brother gave me on ebay. It took some money out of my bank account because I didn't have that much in my PayPal. Well, I had just enough to buy my birth control patch. When I went to pick it up, they said it was a LOT more than what I normally pay. Good thing I had a check for $5 towards it cuz I joined Patched In! or I wouldn't have had enough money. And the reason they charged me so much was they gave me FOUR patches, instead of the normal three. The reason for that was the time before last they only gave me two, so I had to ask for another one when I re-ordered it. So when I called in the refill, they gave me an extra one again. Argh. Something always has to go wrong...especially when dealing with money, huh? 1:06 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Sunday, January 09, 2005 I am sooooooooo jacked right now!!! First off, Travis was checking our bank accounts online and he joking says, "Hey, your balance is negative $40." Ha ha ha. Then he says, "No, seriously, it's negative $24!" I know that it's impossible. I haven't bought anything this month, just the purse yesterday and earrings and headband today. So we looked at my current statement to find out why. I was so positive that my balance should've been more like 70-something. Well, I reviewed the transactions and saw a check for $90. I have never written out a check for $90. Luckily, our bank copies the front and back of checks so we took a look at it. At first glance I thought maybe Travis accidently grabbed one of my checks to write out to someone at work for one of their football polls or something. (We have separate accounts.) But then as I looked, it became clear that neither of us wrote the check. It was some lady I don't even know and it looked like a starter check. She wrote it out to cash and hand-wrote the account number (which is MY account number!). How can this possibly happen??!! They have computers! As soon as that account number was typed in, it should've said MY name, not this lady's. I mean, we don't even have any name in common, first or last. I'm going to shoot someone tomorrow when we go to get this straightened out. I am NOT paying an overdraft charge, I can tell you THAT! And what if she does this again? She got the account number wrong the first time and obviously the bank isn't double checking things. Well, to make things worse, I get on ebay to put a few more things up for sale. I saw that more people left me feedback, but when I looked at the positive feedback percentage, it was 98.2%!!! I've only gotten positive feedback until this moment, so I went to check it out. I had one negative comment and one neutral. The neutral said only, "Satisfactory." I guess that was in retaliation to my neutral comment I left for them that said, "Slow payment." (I really hate people sometimes. This was the chick that was sending me a money order and took about two months to actually get it to me.) So I read the negative comment. It said, "Will never do business with again." And this time it was a seller's comment. It was the guy who I tried to buy a Simple Plan CD off of. I ALWAYS pay pretty fast and in this case I did the same. I waited a freakin MONTH for that CD to come. I sent the guy an email. He responded, "Oh, I've been out of town, it should be out this Monday." I wait a week. I don't get the CD. I sent him another email. "I don't have that CD in stock, I've already issued a refund." Well, how can I be mad at the guy when he gives me a refund? But I thought it was right to leave a negative comment. It's really retarded (and mean) to sell something that someone will buy when you really don't have it. Did he think I would just forget about it and he could keep my money? Anyway, it said that he is no longer a member, but on my "Left For Others" feedback thing I saw that he wrote in return to my negative comment of, "Put item up for bid that he didn't have. Refunded money, but a month later." : "Untrue- buyer decided she could not afford because parents would discipline." I'M MARRIED! Why would my parents discipline me over a $9 CD??!! Whoa, I really can't afford THAT! ARGH! I'm so jacked. Travis thinks I can write to ebay and complain about it. It's completely ridiculous that jack ass can lower my feedback score by being a big baby. Plus, he's not even a registered user on ebay anymore! If you want to see all this crap, my ebay i.d. is starlitgrdn. I'M SO MAD!!! 11:59 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Friday, January 07, 2005 Ok, I redid the main page graphics since they seem to keep screwing up. I hope this fixes it. If not, I don't care. I also found that some of the scans were missing. When I transferred all my files to the new computer I think not all of them got through. Anyway, I'm uploading them right now. =) 11:13 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Thursday, January 06, 2005 Wow, I totally forget what I was going to write. Oh yeah! I'm totally craving chocolate, but I can't find any. We have brownies, but I'm too lazy to make them. Plus, the new CSI is coming on in like fourteen minutes. I got pink highlights in my hair! Yay! It took like two days to do cuz the first time it looked weird but now it's ok. I'll take some pictures later on. 8:44 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Monday, January 03, 2005 You know what upsets me? The previews for the new Kojak I keep seeing on USA. I just saw one now. They have a black guy playing Kojak! Now, under normal circumstances, I really wouldn't care. They could get a women to play the part and I couldn't care less because I'm not going to watch it. But what bugs me is that if someone remade Shaft and put a white guy to play the part, the black community would have a cow. As I thought about this, I pictured a white comedian commenting on the matter. He would probably get booed off-stage for sounding like the president of the KKK. But if it was a black comedian commenting on the white guy in the role of Shaft, everyone would think it was hilarious. This doesn't sound very fair to me. I'm really sick of this kind of crap. I'm sick of every TV show I watch someone saying something or making some kind of joke about white people or black people or racism, etc. When I was growing up, I was friends with anyone who would talk to me. I had black friends, Asian friends, and whatever else. Then all the sudden, anytime you turn on the TV there's a show with someone not white whining about racism and talking about a dream world that is color blind. If you ask me, the more people whine, the more racist the world seems. If a black guy doesn't get a job, it's because he's black. Now, I realize not everyone thinks like that, but this is what you hear a lot. It's not because they didn't have the qualifications, it's because their black, gay, Asian, or whatever. There's always a reference to Martin Luther King. Well, I have heard his speech and I have to say, I don't really think people use his ideas in the context he meant them. He wanted a world where everyone was accepted by their character, not their color. So why do colleges all the sudden have to have so many different races accepted or they get in trouble? Why is there a special organization to help black people "succeed"? I think the more they push the whole "color blind" thing, the worse everything is getting. 10:42 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Saturday, January 01, 2005 Wow, it's been a while. I finally made a new layout and thought I was going to have to make another one since the first couple times I looked at it in a web browser the images were all screwed up. It seems to have fixed itself, but who knows. It could be screwed up on someone else's computer. Anyway, I'm going to try to keep this updated pretty regularly. We got a new computer. Dude, we got a Dell! I finally got Microsoft Word on a freakin' computer, though I had already activated it on our old computer and now it freaks out everytime I open it on this one. I don't know what to do about that. This keyboard is super nice to type on. It's New Years Day. I already took down our Christmas tree. It was super annoying and in the way all the time. I took it down and completely cleaned the living room. It looks so much bigger now. I didn't even really get into the Christmas "mood" this year. The day after Christmas I was sick of it. Same with New Years. I don't even care anymore. I lost four pounds. Travis and I had a contest going. Whoever loses 5 pounds gets a reward. My reward is we get to go eat at the Olive Garden. His is...what was his? Oh well, we both forget, but he says it's not going to happen anyway. Ha ha ha! Looks like he's going to take me to Olive Garden. We don't eat there often. Ever, actually. I think I've only been there twice. The first time was when we first moved here. I think I was in 3rd or 4th grade. The second time was more recently. Sue, Lisa, Melinda, and I went when we were in Lancaster for a hair show. The waiter kept like touching me and flirting with us. I guess he knows how to get a good tip out of a table full of women. Anyway, the salad and breadsticks were really good. Whatever I ordered was really gross, though. I took it back with me to the hotel, but I ended up throwing it away, ha ha. I recorded the Law and Order: SVU marathon all day yesterday. Now I have like a thousand shows to watch, yay! Jerry Orbach, I miss you! :'( 8:34 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- September 2001 October 2001 November 2001 December 2001 January 2002 February 2002 March 2002 April 2002 May 2002 July 2002 August 2002 September 2002 October 2002 November 2002 December 2002 January 2003 February 2003 March 2003 April 2003 May 2003 June 2003 July 2003 August 2003 September 2003 October 2003 November 2003 December 2003 January 2004 February 2004 March 2004 May 2004 July 2004 August 2004 September 2004 January 2005 February 2005 March 2005 April 2005 May 2005 June 2005 September 2005 October 2005 February 2007 home Navigation: --> me ---> blog archives ----> my friends -----> art work ------> poetry -------> writings --------> stuff for you |
