Available For Rent...
I had my interview at Wal-mart tonight. It's not really over. There are two portions, but due to computer malfunctions they could not complete the interview and are asking me to return tomorrow.
The funny thing is, the sign that they want to hire you is after your interview they ask you to take a drug test.
My interview isn't even over yet and I know my drug test date.
Why waste my time with an interview if you knew that you were going to hire me?
Because She Loves Me...
Am I Still Thirsty...
My favorite bartender called last night and asked what we were doing tonight. It's a conversation that has been had many times over with assorted friends.
The only answer...
"Go to the Northwestern, of course."
Flashback...
It's like going back in time 8 years.
I am not really excited about it. But I need some cash bad.

Crazy Like A Straw...
Anyway, so yesterday was a very dramatic day for me. Lots of crying girls needing me to save their days.
I was hiding out in my apartment, doing the dishes and I hear a knock on the door.
I turn around to see the neighbor that I always try to avoid. The nieghbor that I always thought was a little off. Lots of little clues. Like standing outside holding a catheter bag.
Anyway, she stands in my living room and proceeds to tell me that she was admitted to the mental health department in one of the best hospitals in the state for the last 10 days. And that she had been admitted to the local hospital's mental health department 8 times since January. And how she finally has been diagnosed correctly as being Bi-polar. And how the only medication strong enough to treat her condition is ... Lithium.
Ok. I am not one to judge. Everyone has their demons but not everyone stands in my living room and explains all the ways that they are bat-shit crazy.
All I could think standing there listening to her was, "Time to move."

Chronicles Of The Still-Not College Bound...
I had to re-apply, which was fun. I had to pay the application fee again. Even though, I am a student and I even have an ID number. So, as a result, I also was not able to enroll in classes for the spring. I have to wait to get re-accepted.
I also wasn't able to get my transcripts released to me right away because apparently, I had late fees in the LRC from 2000. To the amount of $27!!! What in the hell did I think I needed to keep for an extra 21 days?!
The only positive thing that came out of this experience was that I learned that I am not on academic probation like I thought. But possibly, financial aid probation. I find that amazing, because I have never recieved any aid....I don't think. But my GPA is 1.94, so one solid grade, and I am back in good standing.
I think I will feel better about things once I am actually enrolled.

Chronicles Of The College Bound...
So I am talking to my supervisor today, letting her know that I am going back to school.
"I don't know how much we are going to be able to bend on your schedule."
WTF?!?!?! Bend on my schedule? If I can't be there, I can't be there.
What a douche bag.
Everyone is making this as tough as possible, I think.
Oh yes, and my step-dad thinks that I am wasting my money.

Waffle Envy...
I am at Joe and Barb's and there are Scooby-Doo shaped waffles on the counter.
I totally have waffle envy.
An Ode To My Apartment...
So I hop in the shower to wash my hair, because I am all hell bent on 'doing' my hair tonight. Don't get me wrong, I always do something with my hair...I have to, I have short curly hair. You HAVE to do something with it.
Well, tonight I felt like styling it. Which involved borrowing a blowdryer (I know, seriously, a girl that doesn't own a blow dryer? Hate the things...dry my curls out too much. Makes em fuzzy), cracked out the curling iron (Wait a minute, she has a curling iron, but not a blow dyer? I don't know how that happened...I have naturally curly hair.)
Anyway, I am getting ready to hop in the shower...(i.e. getting nekkid) and I go to plug in the curling iron...looking for the outlet that I have never needed...
THERE ISN'T ONE!
What the hell? No outlet in the bathroom?!?!?! WHO DOES THAT? I have five outlets in the bedroom...
So I have a trail of extention cords through the bedroom so I can do my hair in the bathroom.
I hate this apartment.
Leave Me Alone, I'm Lonely...
Below please find a few posts that have been sitting in my inbox, that I just finally got around to posting. I included the dates that I wrote them.
But you probably don't care what I was thinking about a month ago. I don't really either.
Movie Mumblings (7/29/06)...
Clerks 2 - Ok, so not going to win an Oscar anytime soon. I laughed my ass off. It was so stupid. I loved it. It was exactly what I needed on a gloomy day last week. Yay! for Kevin Smith. I think he might just be one of my favorites in the movie industry. All the appropriate cameo appearances where there, minus Matt Damon.
This movie may be the only time I have ever laughed out loud at the use of the word "Cornhole". Well, outside of Beavis and Butthead, that is.
Go with really low expectations, and you will have a blast.
Movies I am hoping to catch on the big screen next are: Miami Vice, John Tucker Must Die, and Talladega Nights (which is going to also be retarded). And since typing that line I have just made plans with my bitches to go see John Tucker Must Die...tomorrow. (I never did make it to that movie.)
Too Much Too Soon (8/3/06)...
Is it just me or is it a touch too soon for 9/11 movies? I didn't think too much about United 93 when it came out, but I also didn't think I could go see it in the theatre. And I didn't.
Next week, World Trade Center comes out with Nicolas Cage. I don't watch a lot of TV anymore, so I didn't know this was coming out until I saw a poster at the local cinema. And what struck me as odd was this line "Based on a true story" (or something to that effect). HELLO?!?! DUH! No way. That really happened?
I think it's one thing for Ben Affleck to pimp out a fictional movie based on a historical event that happened 50+ years ago. (You remember that train wreck, Pearl Harbor) To me, this is still very much current events. It's not even been 5 years. This is still a very emotional hot spot for our nation. I remember everything about that day. I remember every emotion, every tear shed, how scared I was to go to sleep for fear something else would happen. I just don't know if I am ready to relive all of those emotions again.

Chronicles Of The College Bound...
But they did get me to pick a program.
As of now, I am a University Transfer student.

Well, At Least She Can Legally Do That...
I have been elected to organize this event.
I think I am scared.
As the title implies, she can soon legally do what she does everynight anyway...

How's That For Flattery...
I was told that I am not "bat shit crazy" like some of the girls in my life.
And
I am actually a goddess.
Who else wants to make me feel special now? Although, my nephew did a pretty good job of it when he almost knocked me over hugging me today. I love that kid.
