[8:15am] Many pardons from the English crowd. ¡Hoy es el día de las Seis Banderas!! ¡Muy divertido! Y mañana es el día de los dos meses para José y yo. Muy romántico, ay ay ay..

[8:51pm] I am supremely happy because I can forget about band camp until Sunday. Tomorrow and Thursday will be beautiful, happy days. Tomorrow=Six Flags from 10 AM-7 PM (and NO WORK!! *big grins*) with Kristen, Joey, Chris B, Chris C, and Mega. An even number of people. Good. It all works out excellently. Thursday=2 month anniversary with Joey, and I'll be supremely happy then too, because he makes me.. supremely happy! (And redundant as well.. supremely happy!) It is a very good thing to be so happy. (I know I won't be at this point next week, but even next Thursday, I'm going down to band camp to see everybody so it's good and dandy.)
[9:51am] I'm sad because band camp is coming up soon (which reminds me, I should ask off work for that Thursday) and that means no boyfriend. Much, much sadness. Yesterday, Joey and Kristen and I saw Pirates of the Caribbean and it was fun. Kristen and I are that RubberEye Pirate and that Baldy Sue Pirate.. Awesome. Yay, work today 12-6.

072803
[2:55pm] What a day. I spent far too much money, but I needed everything I bought. Yay for nice long pants...

072703
[9:57pm] Ahhh.. Yesterday Joey and I hit the mall and said hi to CC. I tried on a few fashion pieces, just for kicks and giggles, but didn't buy anything. (I usually don't buy anything with I go to the mall with people, only when I go buy myself, which I plan on doing tomorrow, with my day off.) We then went to Ronnie's to see Pirates, but it was sold out, so we went bowling instead. (So that's why my hand hurts today.) We played four games and I was very consistent in my scoring - 96, 96, 90, 101. Joey wasn't quite so consistent: 108, like 50, close to 60, 120 (but would have gotten higher if they hadn't shut down the lanes.) After that, we got some chocolate milk, oatmeal creme pie, and chococicle (I don't know how to spell that) and pigged out. It was awesome. He's the best boyfriend in the history of the world. Plans for tomorrow: brother chauffering (sp again), mall for some final summer clothes buying, laundry completion, room cleaning, and maybe some boyfriend time, since I didn't even get to talk to him today. And that's about it. Goodnight, dear friends.

[8:21am] Despite my hugely long day at work yesterday (11-8), I went out with Kristen to see Extra Large (XLG=LXG). The last hour was boring, I was like "Yawn, fight scenes" but Kristen and I always make whatever we're doing fun. I have to work today 9-5, so I should be going.

072303
[10:07pm] Boyfriend time always rules.
[6:26pm] I found a whole batch of poetry from back in the day, so I rewrote it, revised it, and scanned it. It should be up soon, for your reading pleasure. Kristen and I visited band practice today and got Joey in trouble because he was giving the rookies a break after they had finished working. And they did work. And then we all hung out for a while (Joey, Shawn, Kristen, Rob, Lori, two colorguard kids, and me) and gabbed. Eventually we parted ways: Kristen and I went to McD's for some eats and then we went to her house to watch the MCCGA video, and we came up with some ideas for her guard show--when she's a clinician. It'll be "This is Halloween--duhduh duhduh duhduh DUHDUH... *stompy stompy dance* *BUSTIN OUT THE NUNFITS* *and then the pink spandexsuits" and tons more, I'm sure. Kristen will fill you in on the details. Tonight I'm just chilling out for a while, until maybe I get to visit with the boyfriend. *fingers crossed*

072203
[6:37pm] I think I'm just the happiest girl in the land. Not only are people buying me presents just because I say that I want them, but I also have the best boyfriend in the entire world. He and I went to Mastodon and Target yesterday, a nice little adventure. Today I worked 11-6, and that was pleasantly boring (very unbusy.) And that's all the news I have, except that I'd really like to talk to my buddy Keebers and she's at Pirates of the Caribbean right now. I hope she's with a certain booooyyyy... :) Yippee. Okay, well.. that's all I've got. Ciao.

072103
[5:11pm] We're a perfect match. Yep. "I'm so out of the whole grammar thing.. Summer's been affecting me.. I wish I could just take English class all year.."
[4:16pm] I visited the colo(r)guard practice with Kristen and then we were starving so we picked up and went to McD's (I know, I know.. traitor to Wendy's) and then we went to Wendy's to pick up my check, which was smaller than I was expecting, but it's still rather hefty so I'm happy. I also came up with a new feature for calapitter, which is like an Amazon Wishlist, but better because it's on calapitter, and I made it to suit my style. In "But I Want", you not only get a funky rendering of Christy Turlington, but a list of desired objects and (this is the best part) WHY I want them. So, go visit!

[4:56pm] Good thing I'm not depressed. I'm so hungry. It's unreasonable. Well, I guess not unreasonable.. because I haven't eaten today, but I hate eating after I get off work. Sigh. Eating. Okay, well.. Ty is starving as well and he's cooking and we're happy. Or will be, soon. KRISTEN CALL ME! AND STOP BEING SO SAD.
[3:17pm] So the thing at Dave's Banquet Center with the bands and stuff was cool. Nicole and Tim did take care of me, and Shawn too a little bit. And then when Joey was done playing, he took over. And that was great. First Light always impresses me, but in comparison with some of the other bands there.. Wow. Just amazing. "Sax & violins!" "It's hamster rock! *snf snf snf*" Even though it was all very nice, it ended when I got home and answered the phone. Stupid.. everything. Some people just aren't good. Anyway, work went really really fast today. Maybe it was when the electricity went out and they had to restart all the registers so I had an excuse to be stupid on frontline.. Or our humongous rush from like 11:30-1:00 that made everything go really fast. I don't know, but the 7 hours just sped by.

071703
[6:15pm] I'm such a loser. There's a First Light show tonight.. and my boyfriend is in First Light.. and I should go.. But I'm a loser and can't do anything without my other one-third (Kristen). She's working tonight. But suddenly I feel all of my shame at once and I muster some courage to go hang out with this year's sophomores (including my brother).. Tim and Nicole.. At least those three will take care of me. Okay, well, I just got off work so I should take a shower before I leave.. And change clothes. No one wants to see me in a Wendy's uniforn (except for Lauren, who came into my job today and saw me! -- When I told Kevin that she was my friend, Kevin replied with "Yeah right, you have no friends." I retorted "I should smack you." But I didn't smack him.) Stupid flea bites on my back. How unfashionable. Anyway.. maybe I'll go. Stupid $8 charge. Maybe I can pretend that I'm actually with the band.. No. I'll probably just pay it.

[5:21pm] I'm not sure my feet are attached to my ankles anymore. Oh, wait. Is that what that insane throbbing is? Yeah, I guess it is. Note: this was a day full of nausea and I spent it feeling like my entire digestive tract was going to fly out of control, like one of those fire hoses when they're spraying water so hard that even the firemen can't hold on and it's just going crazy like an up-and-down snake, at any moment. I'm tired of feeling sick, and I'm sick of feeling tired. I totally stole that line from some country song I've never heard, probably.
[7:36am] I work entirely too much today. Starting at 8, ending at 5.. I'm probably going to just.. I don't know. Die, maybe. Or cry a lot. I'm so tired of being tough and making it through the day without whining. I don't know how I'm gonna do it. (Man, I am so whiney!!)

071403
[10:14pm] Happy 18 and 1/3 birthday to me! I saw Legally Blonde 2 today.. "Hi Allison, it's Cookie." :) Congrats to Kristen, who made the ultra-awesome-cool SMS lead rifle line. Very impressive. And I got my room-mate and living information from Rhodes. I'm all nervous and scared, but I think it'll be okay. I think. I hope. SWEET FOR SUITES!!

071303
[10:24pm] Yay for Lonnie, James, Devon, and Kevin. Those boys win. They actually made work bearable. Granted, it was only 4 hours, but I was so sick of working. I should have stayed another hour. Mo' money. But I was/am too tired. And yet, well, whatev.
[3:51pm] Too much working makes me tired. I don't wanna close today. :( 6-10=no.

071203
[11:35am] Awww!!! I just saw that Chevron commercial with the dirty car and the little pig that has fallen in love with the car.. it's adorable.
[10:58am] Jeremy just called me and so instead of just working 3-8, I'm working 12-8. Craziness. But good for money. Maybe tonight I'll go see Pirates of the Caribbean, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, or Legally Blonde 2. Who knows? I may be too pooped for anything.

071103
[10:37pm] So Shawn's house was a lot of fun. It was just Joey, Shawn, Tim, and myself. It was great: a lot of inner-tube tossing and even one tube-explosion! Hahaha.. An hour of fun, since we didn't get over there until 9:15 or so, and I had to be home by 10:30. But it was very nice. Then there was work today.. A certain boy drove me absolutely insane (to the verge of actual violence) today. Oooh.. how I long to post his name here, but won't. "I need a double. .... Now, two doubles. .... Yes, I still need the doubles .... Two doubles?" "STOP [expletive] SAYING IT! I GOT IT.." "So.. if you got it, why don't I have the meat?" "It's NOT READY YET!!" Goodness glaciers. So why not just tell me? Anyway. I work 3-8 tomorrow, which should be drama and interesting and busy and just enough to put me in a bad mood. Whatev. I'm done with all this. Time to go lie down and write a letter and read a book and just chill for about 14 hours.

July 10 2003
[8:38pm] I want my mom and dad to adopt Tim so he can be my brother. I also want Tim to go to Shawn's house to swim.  
Becky: You will go or I will kill you in your sleep.
Becky: (Not really.. just an idle threat.)
Timmy: Well, whether or not I want to, it depends on my mom.
Becky: Watch someone actually kill you in your sleep tonight and everyone will blame it on me.
Timmy: As I'm dying I'll write a note.
Timmy: "Was...not...Becky... *glug*"
[10:52am] WAHOO! Got my AP results from Rhodes today! The only one my school offers is Calculus AB, and I got a 4 on it! Eat that! Yeah, mmm, tastes good!

[5:16pm] This guy walks into a psychiatrist's office, sits down on the couch, and shouts, "You gotta help me, Doc! I'm a teepee.. No, I'm a wigwam. No, I'm a teepee.. Wait.. Wigwam.." The doctor shushes him and says, "You gotta relax! You're two tents!"
[3:05pm] My dog has SOME sense. He'll eat anything, but not lettuce. (BLEH!)

070803
[7:49pm] Getting a smaller paycheck than you expected sucks. But this rocks: "I hate when shirts hug my armpits and keep them tight. Nothing should ever do that and it makes me angry."

[10:17pm] What a boring day. Boring all around. From all day until 6, I sat around and watched Twilight Zone episodes and then baseball, and then 6-10 I worked. It was absolutely dead there. I think in the last hour I was there, I probably made a fat three sandwiches. Craziness. Well, UNcraziness. Everyone just really wanted to go outside and set off fireworks, but that's definitely silly since we're a Wendy's hooked onto a QT (which is a gas station, for all y'all non-Midwesterners. Or if you don't have QTs.) Anyway, no fireworks. But I did get a raise!! Yahoo!! That's all for today. Bright and early tomorrow, a 9-4 at work.

070303
[9:11pm] Jigga, jigga. Jigga WHAT? "The specimen, which remains on the beach, looks like a huge lumpy piece of slippery rubber in the shape of a squashed elephant.".. What a large, stimulating group of adjectives.
[11:17am] Looks like I didn't finish anything yesterday. Not even the t-shirt. I made the fingers too stubby & fat, not menacing enough. And as you can tell, no new layout. Unfortunately for you, I have to work 1-8 today, and there's stuff that I have to do after that. So cry into your little pink pillows, kids, but I just can't do anything today. *Waltzes off, singing, She works hard for the money, so you better treat her right* (Even though a waltz is entirely inappropriate for this song, since waltzes are for 3/4 time. Right?)

070203
[11:30am] No work today, but I am busy designing a t-shirt submission for Threadless. I have a feeling that this t-shirt submission might end up as the layout here. Just a guess.

070103
[8:34pm] Okay, so five hours=long, when you ALWAYS have customers. Today was steady, busy, beastly. I don't like having only one manager person around. I like having about three or four, because I need help a lot. I was so bad at my job today. I was on sandwiches for a while, which was fine. I don't mind being busy on sandwiches. But then they put me on front line, and I hate people. I just kept messing up orders and not giving correct change.. What a day. I quit. (Not my job. I need money. My check! I got my check! $155.98!! Yay!!)
[1:55pm] Stopped by the school with Kristen and Joey yesterday. Strange. It seemed like all the colorguard girls (now that I've graduated) try to distance themselves, and probably 6 weeks ago, they were all quite fond of me. At least Lori was friendly. Everybody else was just, "Stay away and be perfectly serious." Or maybe I'm paranoid. But I think not. Today I took all my change that I found on the floor in my house and my car to Schnucks and put it in the Coinstar machine. It came out to $19. Bonus. I love money. :) Speaking of, I get my check from last week's payday today. It'll be my first day back from vacation. I hope that I'm on sandwiches. I'm not feeling very people-y today. I could do either, though. I'd be okay. Five hours=not that long. Money money money!! P.S. When I get a day of nothing (like tomorrow), I'm gonna try and design a new layout. I've had this one since April. Silly me.
