What do you mean by that?

The other day at Job #1 I decided to try almond instead of my usual vanilla. I noticed on my cup, it said "ASL" (almond soy latte). I thought, 'That's so cool!' Then I realized, hey, I could spell my name (not in the correct order, unless I wanted to make a really complicated americano).



It's almost my name. I need a "y", but the only way to do that is to get Splenda in my drink (Splenda packets are yellow, so it's marked with a "y"), but I don't want to do that. I could just mark the decaf with a "y". Hm...

Now you people who don't know me in real life know my name. Unless you can't sort it out.

It's stupid things like this that occupy most of my thoughts. Maybe that's why when I told my manager my Astrological sign she went, "It all makes sense now!" She wouldn't elaborate, but she's a Gemini, so I'm going to take it as a bad thing.

In a couple of hours it is back to Job #2. They sent me home early from Job #1 today because it was rather slow. That's alright. I'm starting to get irritated with that job because of the rude customers. I'm hoping it'll go back to normal now. When I started, the rudeness was few and far between, but right around Christmas people started getting really nasty (and some were really nice). I really like most of the people I work with, but I can't take this area. I have been working retail around here for too long (well, lived in the general area my whole life).

I (hopefully) will be taking a trip to California with Steph at the end of January. I've never been to California, but I have a feeling I will love it, which may pose a problem because if I love it too much and want to move there...my boyfriend refuses to live in California. He is so sure it's going to break off and fall into the ocean or something. But I am so done with the East Coast (have been since I was five). Fuck graduate school. I need a new plan. A plan to get the hell out. Maybe that should be my New Year's resolution: get a plan to get the hell out.

As for my other New Year's resolution...yeah, that lasted 24 hours. This cheese and fruit plate thingie we sell was all messed up when we got it (some grapes were sticking out, but everything else was fine), so I marked it out...and ate some of it. I should have went for the fruit and only the fruit, but when there's a big piece of cheese, tender yummy creamy cheesy goodness cheese, who in their right mind would eat a slice of apple? I don't even like apples! Oh, but cheese...I love cheese.

Worst. Veggie. Ever!

But I'll still try to stick with the no meat thing. And probably no egg as well. But there's too much dairy around me. Also, just to make excuses and make myself feel justified in supporting the cruel dairy industry, my blood type is B, and Bs thrive on dairy. (And just in case you're interested, Os are the meat eaters, As are the vegetarians, and ABs are a very selective weird mixture.)

This entry was much longer than I intended. My bad. Thanks for reading it!

Happy New Year!

I have a headache!

I spent my New Year's Eve at my best friend's parents' house where she had a party. She is the one I mentioned in my last entry who got married last year. With the help of my boyfriend, I made her a wedding video of video and pictures. It was pretty much a wedding music video. I gave it to her last night, and she loved it, and it played many more times throughout the night as people showed up at the party. I was in no condition to drive, so I stayed the night but didn't get much sleep (I can't sleep when people snore), and I was up at 7 AM. By 8 AM I was too bored (the only one awake, and no one else was close to waking up), so I headed home.

I haven't eaten anything yet, but I took some herbs (legal ones, kind of like vitamins) because of all the unhealthy things I did last night. I wanted to make sure I don't get sick, but the lack of food in my belly with the herbs has made me a little crazy, and that is why I have a headache.

On my drive home, I suddenly decided I do have a New Year's resolution. I'm going to try to be vegan again! I wanted to eventually, but in the glorious words of Jimmy Eat World, "If not now, when?" So I think I'm just going to go back now. No more of this eating meat if it's free crap. It'll be tough especially since none of the food at my job is vegan (well...none of the food that I would want to eat), but at least I have my soy lattes. Last year there was too much eating of the meat (meat eating vegetarian?!), and I had a lot more cheese than I should have. So no more. Starting...now!

Yeah, we'll see how long that lasts.

Happy New Year!
