So I went to political science and totally forgot about the extra credit. Bah.
I went home right after so I could pick up my phone and deposit money so I could buy Flight Of The Conchords season 1 DVD. Freaking only 13 bucks on bestbuy.com. I got super excited, especially with the 60% off. The Dane Cook DVDs will have to wait.
I ended up going to Japanese thinking I had a quiz to do. I really wasn't planning on going but I forgot there's barely any classes left. I'm glad I went. I found out I have my conversation answers and presentation speech due next class. Neither assignment I knew about from the lack of attendance in the class. So good fucking game. And ever since our last major test, I haven't done any homework whatsoever. So that means I have about 15 assignments to do plus those projects. And it's not just an easy paper. Each assignment takes me at least 30 minutes minimum to complete. So damn myself for being such a procrastinator.
Work was super slow today. This lady gave me a dollar tip. I got put on break and when I came back, they decided to clear our my register. I balanced okay and when I got back to the concessions, there was this huge line and we only had 2 registers open. It got bad and I helped as much as I could. One guy tipped us 1.75, so I took the 75 cents haha. Yay tip.
There were so many gay couples tonight. Probably a good 6. Tuesday's a special night?
I think I'm going to pop in Hard Candy and do some Japanese homework.

Don't Bore Us
I'm getting REALLY irritated that I can't burn anymore CDs. I can't figure out what the problem is and it's usually a certain mp3 that refuses to comply with the whole process. I spent like an hour downloading a trial version of the new Nero so I could try it out and it ended up being the same problem. I found out my version is 3 and the newest one is 8. I'm really outdated.
Well I didn't do jack all day and finally took my mom's car to Target. I ended up buying 5 DVDs and cereal for Rei. I got excited when I saw $4.75 DVDs. I wish the Nip/Tuck seasons were on sale again. I did cash back so I could try to take my money from that stupid checkcard.
I went home to get my car and went to my sister's so David could change out my brake pads. I'm glad he knows how to fix things like this. It saved me a good 75 dollars from going to Brake Team and etc. for labor costs. He also showed me how to change a tire. It looks like when I ran into that slight curb that one day, it damaged my tire and in probably about 2 weeks, it's going to pop. So I'll be careful when I go over speed bumps and such. Hopefully David's brother still has connections with Discount Tires and can get me a cheaper cost on all 4 tires. And I guess I'll pay back with free movies. Haha.
But man, driving is so different. I'm so used to hearing that squealing. Even with my mom's car. Yay for new pads.
My sister showed me that she was going to give David this book for Christmas. It happened to be the script to Clerks 2 and I got super jealous. I skimmed through it and loled a lot. I'm going to look for that and get it for myself. That would be such a great thing to have.
I got home and went to eat at this 'new' Taiwanese restaurant with my mom. The food was really weird. I got their advertised steak special thing. Except when I got it, there was a pile of noodles that pretty much resembled spaghetti. An egg that was still cooking on the skillet. It was weird, the whole spaghetti thing over flowing my steak. The entire thing was bland. I was disappointed. But the boba was good. Okay, I think I'm going to go watch Hard Candy since that came in mail the other day. It better be decent.

Do Me A Favor, Baby Don't Reply
Hokay. So let me tell you something about November 21.
I worked at 10am and they put me at podium for the first time. This term means that I rip tickets for people who come in the theatre. So yay, easy job. I got several interesting customers. Like these 2 old black ladies who I just absolutely adored. They reminded me if I were to be best friends with someone for more than 60 years and still spent my free time with them. They came up to me and all they did was talk. One of them went off to the bathroom while the other stayed with me and told me about how their day went. The other one comes back from the bathroom and asks to complain to a manager because there were no toilet seat covers. So cutest customer award goes to them. When they got out of the theatre, they even waved to me.
Next customer was this drunk guy. It was 11:30am. He asked me if I've been to the Fish Camp restaurant right there and I said no and asked why. Apparently they had the best beer ever and he was totally wasted. He asked if I watched Hitman yet and I said no because it just came out today. He decided that it'll be good no matter what since he's out of it and he walked to his theatre. He came back and asked me if I thought he'd have time to leave and come back. Then he left to go back to Fish Camp to drink more beer. Funniest customer.
Lastly, I got this guy who came in and mentioned how my name was really nice. He came up to me about 2-3 more times to talk about Beowulf and about random stuff. Surprised that my major was psychology and asked if I could tell what he was thinking about. I responded with, "you want me number." I was pretty straightforward and felt bad about saying it when he said no. So I said you want to be friends? And he said no. Apparently he meant if I could just read him like a book and tell what his interests are. I was totally distracted by the mounds of customers piling in and he finally asks me for my number anyways. Right when I gave it to him, Ms. Osiello puts me back to concessions to help out since there was such a large crowd of people. He thought I was following him to his theatre and he came to conclusion that he got me in trouble. I saw that he sent me a text already apologzing and pronouncing how to say his name. I went back to podium for the rest of the shift. I got a little paranoid and decided to push my break until I knew when the guy was going to come out of his theatre so he wouldn't go looking for me.
When I finally go on break, I call this missed phone number back forgetting that it was his number and hung up fast when he answered. He tried calling me back but I forwarded it to my voicemail and he was talking about how he hopes to hear from me soon and etc. I was disgusted and went back to work. Got another text with just a smiley face from him.
I get off of work and try to rush to Sue's house for that surprise party. My brakes give out and almost crash into the car in front of me. I swerve fast and go over the slight median and luckily my tires don't pop. Thanks brakes.
I change and finally get to Sue's. I realize when I get there, I'm surrounded by all these Koreans who are still in high school and felt really awkward. I only knew 4 people out of the 10 there. Sue came home with her cousin, Esther, and we surprised her with a ton of food. Yan came eventually and we talked about college stuff for a while. That creepy guy called me while I was there and I wanted a guy to answer to fuck with him, but I didn't know any of the guys there. Eventually we left and I dropped Yan off at home.
I go meet up with Alma and Alex at Sushi Mon and stand out in the cold for a little bit. Alexa, her family and Chris come out of the restaurant and we all go drive to Alex's house. It ended up just being Alma, Alex and I in the end because everyone went home. We chilled. Alma left and I told Alex about the whole stalker guy. Alex tries to mess with the guy through texts on his phone. The guy suspects that it's me anyways and when Alex tried to say, "oh sorry, wrong number", the guy responded with, "Well what's your name? Maybe we can still be friends." :(
I ended up passing out for an hour or so. Niki texted me that Vaniah was in town but I was way too tired to go meet up with them. I felt bad but I figured there was plenty of time for the week to do that.
That day was full of surprises. I think so.
November 22
So I get to work at 10am again. Around 11 or so, the guy calls me. I was already paranoid the night prior and Alex kept making fun of me. But my worst fear was if the guy came back to visit me. I worked in concessions that day and for the first time, I got put on register. I was really scared because I never did it before and I didn't know the combos and etc. I had Jenna back me up for a few transactions and learned quickly.
Out of nowhere, Ms. Donnelly comes up to me and says "Someone by the name of --- is here to see you, would you like to see him?" I panicked and said no about 10 times and she said alright, go to the restroom. I log out of my register and run to the back. I didn't know what to do. I text Alex and then call Jessica freaking out. I walk out to the auditoriums and I'm not supposed to be on the cell phone, but I did it anyways. Ms. Osiello didn't say anything when she saw me. But I was panicking a lot. I ended up tearing up a little bit. Jessica and Alex wanted to come and pick me up but I wasn't off for several hours. I went up to Kevin and Mike and told them what had happened and if anything were to happen, I'll go find them.
After work, I went straight to Jessica's to have Thanksgiving dinner. She had already ate with Ariel so it was me, eating alone once again. It was kind of weird that Ariel was there because we haven't talked since she left me a voicemail of her bitching me out for no reason. We didn't speak a word to each other except me saying "Excuse me" because I needed her to take her feet off of my work clothes. I left and went home.
Wayne came to pick me up and we tried to go get boba. Volcano Tea ended up closing at 7:30 and we didn't want to pay for Tea Planet's shitty boba. We went back to my place to catch Scrubs when I realized, oh yeah, I have satellite and I don't even have those channels. So we just talked for hours. He talked to my mom. He ended up spending the night.
What an interesting Thanksgiving.
November 24
I had work at 12pm and got put on floor staff. I didn't even get to go Black Friday shopping because I was so exhausted. I was pissed but whatever. Plus, my paycheck went to that stupid pay card thing again and not to my bank account.
Today was by far the most busiest day we've ever had. We not only were behind in cleaning auditoriums, we were low on staff. I was angry with popcorn on the stairs. I don't mind cleaning the chairs and the floor under them. But when the popcorn is on the stairs, for some reason the popcorn doesn't like to come out easily and you have to start scraping shit. We were so behind in cleaning that people would go in the auditoriums and already be waiting for the next showing. We had to kick those people out so we could clean. I was pissed off at the bathrooms as well. I'd clean and people wouldn't stop piling in. When I finally left because I had just cleaned it, this couple goes up to me. The male says that there's no paper towels in the restroom and the female tells me that the restroom looks disgusting and is a mess. I go back in and it's totally torn apart. It was just a really bad day and I'm glad I was getting off at 8 and didn't have to stay until 2am to clean up. On top of that, everytime I'd pass one of the guys on podium, he'd always say I was his favorite usher and have me clean all the little popcorn pieces around his area. That's when I finally talked to one of our security guards, Scott. I think he has this Asian culture fetish, or so it seems. But probably our nicest security guard there.
I got my paystub and learned that they paid me for a shift I didn't even work. So yay, more free money.
I ended up just going home and passing out. I was supposed to hang out with Tiffany, Yan and Jessica to go to a strip club or something since none of us have gone yet. That didn't happen.
November 25
Work at 9am. Main concessions was fun. I worked next to Sarah who kept me company almost the whole time. I love working there. I don't realize that time is going by so fast because I'm always busy. I didn't even get my break until about 6 1/2 hours into my shift. Didn't even know that much time went by.
Michael Clarke Duncan was there at the theatres as well. The big black guy from The Green Mile. My god, he was huge. I couldn't stop staring.
I heard Penn was there as well when I was on break.
I seriously love my co-workers. At first I was really skeptical about this job, especially that majority of the people who work there are black. But for some reason, they're the main ones that I get along with. Yeah, hella stereotypical. I judge.
I went home and showered. Tiffany picked me up and we ate at Tofu Hut. Talked about love lives again. Ha. I really miss her. But just a few more weeks until winter break.
I was supposed to hang out with Wayne as well but he had this project that was due Tuesday and he didn't start yet. So I'll see him during winter break.
Jessica and Niki invited me to parties but I wasn't really in the mood to do anything. I guess I was hoping to spend time with people and just chill.
November 26
I went to work at 12 and got put on the high side concessions. The side where we have 6-18 auditoriums. I was with these 2 guys I haven't worked with before. They were talking about music and such for about 2 hours straight before they finally started to talk to me. I guess DeAngelo saw me at orientation and thought I was a super bitch and unfriendly because I kept to myself. I get that a lot. And Anthony kept hasseling me about projecting my voice more so people can hear me. Bah.
Out of nowhere it got super busy. Mainly because Ms. Gibson's free loading family kept coming with their tubawear and asking ME to refill their slushees and popcorn nonstop. I was really pissed about that because we had such a long line and they couldn't take into consideration about the customers.
While Anthony was on break, DeAngelo was asking me about random stuff. He thought I was this spoiled bitch who has a nice whip and a boyfriend who treats me well. Haha. It was kind of sad but entertaining. He kept saying he was going to go to church and pray for me. D: He really didn't believe I work for the things I have.
One little girl came up to me asking if I could give her a new large cup and I said no because if they're already getting free refills, why would I give them a new cup. I was rushing and ended up spilling it. So she got her new cup. >:O
Jenna came by and told me that Aero was having this 50% sale and today was the last day. So we decided we'll take our 30 min. break together so we can run over there. Mr. Arias kept yelling at me to take my break but I kept waiting. Haha.
We end up running to the store and browsed as fast as we could. I bought a jacket and a shirt and took a shirt as well. Yeah, not paying that much for a shirt like that.
I took a hotdog when I got off work because I refuse to pay 4 dollars for that small thing. Changed and let Jessica in. We watched Beowulf. My first free movie. I wasn't really moved by the movie. I thought it was going to be so much better. The animations, 3D approach was really great. The story was alright. I guess I expected too much since so many people thought it was so awesome.
I was trying to say bye to Sarah, but Scott kept talking to us. It was kind of weird but whatever. It occurred me while I was driving home that my mom dated someone named Scott a few years ago. And he really reminds me of him. Not too young but yeah. I got a little worried but I don't remember what he looks like. I don't think it's him though. D:
And for today. Psychology class is cancelled. So yeah. Maybe I'll finally hang out with everyone. I got a text pretty much everyday from them and I feel really bad but yeah. I wanted to hang out with people from out of town and I had work. Couldn't be helped.

And for today. Psychology class is cancelled. So yeah. Maybe I'll finally hang out with everyone. I got a text pretty much everyday from them and I feel really bad but yeah. I wanted to hang out with people from out of town and I had work. Couldn't be helped.

Baby Girl, I'm A Blur
I signed up for my first credit card last night for Capital One. The only one that would accept me. haha. Wells Fargo was like fuck that because I wasn't making enough pay. Gay.
I woke up late today to my mom punching me. I decided fuck school and finished season 2 of The Office. I eventually got ready and got to Japanese 10 minutes late. I was paranoid because I parked in the staff lot by the Student Union. Nothing happened though, so yay.
I tried to go find area 108 to go pick up my Killers CD that I totally forgot about, finally. But I couldn't find the place and it was all the way on DI and Pecos. the fuckk.
I went to my dad's afterward and passed out in the car waiting for him to come home. I went inside and passed out until my sister and her boyfriend finally came. We celebrated my grandma's and stepmom's birthday, plus Thanksgiving. I love my dad's home cooked meals. It never fails to be amazingly good.
David [sister's bf] and I were talking about games, movies and shows for a while. I guess I should check out How I Met Your Mother. I've never watched an episode in my life. Or Prison Break. Or Lost. We also talked about laptops and what I should do. I may go check out LaptopXchange tomorrow if I have time.
I went to Alex's afterward. Alex, Dallas and I drove to Alexa's to watch House. I should really start watching that show, it really is interesting. I guess I really don't watch much TV.
We ended up watching a soccer game between Belgium and Poland. It was actually interesting enough for me to pay attention. Plus Alex and Dallas picked teams and tried to compete each other. Then we watched a rugby game and I totally passed out. What a fucken weird sport to play. Seriously.
I got work at 10am-5:30pm. And hopefully if I get out on time, which I doubt, I have to try to run to Sue's house. Her sister called me and planned a surprise birthday party, which I totally feel bad about because I didn't know it was Sue's birthday. So hopefully I can make it there early enough before Sue gets home. If not, I have to wait until she's already inside then go in. Haha.
I woke up late today to my mom punching me. I decided fuck school and finished season 2 of The Office. I eventually got ready and got to Japanese 10 minutes late. I was paranoid because I parked in the staff lot by the Student Union. Nothing happened though, so yay.
I tried to go find area 108 to go pick up my Killers CD that I totally forgot about, finally. But I couldn't find the place and it was all the way on DI and Pecos. the fuckk.
I went to my dad's afterward and passed out in the car waiting for him to come home. I went inside and passed out until my sister and her boyfriend finally came. We celebrated my grandma's and stepmom's birthday, plus Thanksgiving. I love my dad's home cooked meals. It never fails to be amazingly good.
David [sister's bf] and I were talking about games, movies and shows for a while. I guess I should check out How I Met Your Mother. I've never watched an episode in my life. Or Prison Break. Or Lost. We also talked about laptops and what I should do. I may go check out LaptopXchange tomorrow if I have time.
I went to Alex's afterward. Alex, Dallas and I drove to Alexa's to watch House. I should really start watching that show, it really is interesting. I guess I really don't watch much TV.
We ended up watching a soccer game between Belgium and Poland. It was actually interesting enough for me to pay attention. Plus Alex and Dallas picked teams and tried to compete each other. Then we watched a rugby game and I totally passed out. What a fucken weird sport to play. Seriously.
I got work at 10am-5:30pm. And hopefully if I get out on time, which I doubt, I have to try to run to Sue's house. Her sister called me and planned a surprise birthday party, which I totally feel bad about because I didn't know it was Sue's birthday. So hopefully I can make it there early enough before Sue gets home. If not, I have to wait until she's already inside then go in. Haha.

Matter Of Time
I don't even know what to say besides I've been working so much. I wouldn't recommend reading this post because it's just about me complaining about work more than half the time. Yay. So ctrl+F to find your name. Haha.
I started my first day of work on the 13th from 6-10. I really enjoyed my first day of work. I was running late and I saw Courtland in his red car running late as well, so I kind of chased after him up the stairs. We sat in auditorium 6 and it was the VIP seats. Amazingly comfortable.
Today was the first day we were open to "public". We had only 1 special screening of Beowulf going on and critics were there. So before the crowd came, I went to go stock the bathrooms with toilet paper and paper towels. Which reminds me, I still have 2 of the bathroom keys and I still have not yet given them back. Uhh, hah. I ended up sweeping around a lot and acted like I was doing something. I got a 10 minute break and found out we were able to drink soda and popcorn. Except, I hate popcorn.
I did the exit greetings and talked to the people leaving. I ended up talking to this one lady who happens to help out her friend do the LasVegasMovieInsiders stuff. It was interesting just talking to her and I guess she just volunteers to do it, so she doesn't get paid for it at all.
When I walked outside with Simone, we had to clean the windows. I noticed Courtland was out there with an older black lady as well and all she did was talk. We kept giving each other glances and it was really funny.
There's this older Asian lady named Mindy. She seriously wouldn't stop talking. I was trying to listen to her at the same time do work and my god. So gg for laughing at Courtland. I guess she's already had several complaints against her and the managers kept going up to her to talk.
I was scheduled to work the next day but I realized I had to retake my psychology exam and also, they had me scheduled from 10am-4. All I could think of was wtf? If they really looked at my availability sheet, they would know I have class at 4pm on Monday and Wednesdays. Dumb. And the only other shift was from 4-10pm.
So I worked instead on Thursday from 5:30pm-1:30am. Mind you that on T R classes, I go to school from 10am-4pm. GG. So I go with it. I eat a powerbar and change in my car on the way to work. I get there and I'm scheduled for concessions. I was kept busy and whatnot. I just stayed as 'runner' and just helped put popcorn in the bags and pretty much did that for about 4-5 hours straight. It was entertaining. I learned how to cook popcorn and I also burned myself against the kennel. It left a nice mark that is still here today.
Though, there was this manager, Mr. Morgan, who wouldn't stop hasseling me. Saying how I wasn't fast enough, or why am I opening bags when I should be stuffing them or etc. I learned to not stick my hand inside the popcorn bags because oh yeah, it's gross. And I learned how to open them faster than stuffing my hand down in them anyways. But he was just constantly breathing down my neck. When I put popcorn in the bags, I take 2 bags and I just throw the popcorn in there. He walks up to me and says, "It doesn't have to look pretty". Why on earth would I try to make them pretty. I gave him attitude for the first time and he finally laid off for the rest of the night about popcorn. I was so pissed.
Let me tell you, I will never stay for closing ever again. Not only did I get home at 2:30am with an 8:30am class in the morning, but I'm not that strong. Mr. Morgan had Angel and I mop the lobby and when we were pretty much done with it, a manager from another branch came by and said that the janitor can do it instead. So mop the back and concessions instead. Thanks.
Oh, and I never hated popcorn so much in my life. Since everyone was noob, we all dropped popcorn on the floor nonstop. It was such a bitch to clean up. And I was pissed that I was transferring popcorn from warmers for about an hour, then interrupted by hearing forget it, just throw them out. It was constantly Mr. Morgan changing his mind and I really couldn't take it anymore. I don't think he's paying us for overtime.
So class went well. I only passed out for 10 minutes. Found out I'm only 1 of 5 in the class that has everything turned in. Everyone was bitching and thinking they're going to transfer classes when the new semester starts. I don't see the point if we're already used to his way of teaching, but whatever. The class is super easy and they're hella dumb if they can't turn in a sheet of paper after reading a short story. A MINIMUM of 3 pages for an essay with the choice of 10, 11, 12, Arial and Times Roman font.
After I went home to change. I wasn't really feeling hungry. I just ate a powerbar and started out my 2:30-10:30 shift. I worked on floor staff so I pretty much cleaned the auditoriums and did bathroom checks all day. Ms. Ausiello followed us around which was fine, I enjoy her company. I hate people who watch Beowulf. They seem to be the most messiest and laziest people. I get families who come out of Fred Claus and such and they carry all their trash out.
I noticed Cara (another manager) up on the concession counter screw driving in combo orders on the wall and look who's just standing there staring? Mr. Morgan. Mind you that all the woman managers have to wear a dress for promotion, and that's what she was wearing. Morgan has to be sexist. I hate him.
I made friends with Mike and Kevin. Except, I've met Kevin before and I remember Ariel stealing his pipe for weed or something. Then broke it. I remember his name was KC but I don't know where that comes from when his last name is Lucido. Anyways.
We learn that the second floor on auditoriums 1-5 is the best place to movie hop. It's dumb how they did it but whatever. Then we decided to go up the stairs to the 3rd floor and saw the projection room. It was really eerie looking since it was just this giant dark room with digital projection going on. Literally, you just touch the screen to start the movie. It was crazy.
We freak out from hearing someone walk down the hallway and ran to the first floor and cleaned.
We finally find out what our schedules are and I have to work 10am-5:30pm the next day. It's really irritating how they don't know our schedules before hand and tell us if we work the next day or not.
I overslept and ended up being an hour late for work. I knew I was working on floor staff so I immediately went to Mr. Arias and asked for an usher time let out sheet. They didn't even know I was late. GG.
Mr. Morgan took Mike and I with him to unload the truck outside. We went out there probably 6 times and after we did a count of all our supplies, Mr. Morgan had us carry all of the shit to all these storage rooms. Not a big deal except when we had to carry the 5 gallon sodas and butter. I was already irritated that Mr. Morgan would just stand there and watch us work and not help us at all. It's another for him to watch me struggle pushing a 5 gallon coke box over my head on the shelf and just stand there panting. He's such a piece of shit.
The unorganization is really ridiculous. They were supposed to have Sun-Thurs. schedule up already and it wasn't even done yet. So I went home to change and went to Alexa's finally for the Pre-Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone [Alma, Alexa, Dallas, Alex, Niki, Chris & Maricela] had already ate when I got there. Alma and Alexa pretty much packed my plate with everything they could and I managed to eat almost the entirety of it. The food was great. It was the first real meal I've eaten ever since I started working.
Niki and Chris ended up leaving early and the rest of us just watched TV for a while. I eventually left because calling the theatre several times didn't do me any justice. I had to go drive back to the theatre and find out my schedule.
After that, I went to Arabela's and played some Resident Evil with Emmanuel on Wii. Passed out for probably 15 minutes. Went to Nalani's with the other two. Went to go meet up with their friend Cole and got alcohol. Went to Nalani's apartment that has no electricity in it. I wasn't really feeling drinking so I didn't. Laughed at Nalani getting super drunk and played with her dog.
Cole left and later Nalani's boyfriend left. The rest of us just passed out on the floor but it was fucking freezing. I couldn't stand it anymore and I took Ara and Emmanuel home eventually. I went home and watched Transamerica. Amazing movie. Let me tell you, Felicity's performance. My god. And her son in the movie, wow. He starred in the Airbud movies. He's amazing.
I ended up napping at the last minute and woke up, yet again, an hour late for work. I went through the back and just went straight to concessions to help out. I ended up making nachos and eating them as well. Keane helped me for a bit. I got really annoyed with my co-workers who kept coming out and complaining that there weren't enough chips in the nacho trays and trying not to blame me but did anyways. I literally just got there and it wasn't even my batch. So GG. I got pissed. And all the older co-workers would walk by and sing "Nacho Nacho Man". ugh.
I guess I got on Mr. Anderson's good side because whenever he'd see me, he'd give me praise. Isn't that what a manager should be doing? I was so glad Morgan wasn't around. I found out all the managers left to go eat a fancy dinner and left Mr. Anderson to supervise us. I felt pretty bad but they brought back dessert. Uh.
I didn't think I'd be closing since I knew people were leaving at 1:30am and I was leaving at 12:30am. But I still cleaned. Except this time it wasn't that big of a deal. We don't drop much popcorn anymore and it wasn't that busy that night. Although, I still can't mop for shit.
I learned that they made people supervisors by the second day they worked there. Angel for concessions, Andrew for floor staff and some chick for box office. It's crazy but I guess they deserve it.
I wanted to ask Mr. Anderson if I could watch a free movie the next day but I got scared to ask and wanted to go home anyways.
I called the next day to see if I could but Mr. Morgan answered so I hung up immediately. I knew he'd give me shit for it or write my name down on a list or something.
Oh, and I had a psychology exam going on but my teacher never sent anyone the study guide. We went to class and ended up having a group exam. We were allowed to talk to anyone in the class for help and whatever. Andrea, Melyssa and I ended up staying in our own group struggling and hoping we guessed right. We got a B on it, so I'm really glad.
Jessica and I watched like 6 episodes of The Office Season 2. Man, I can't get over how much I love the show.
And last night, Tiffany and Yan came back to town. I'm so glad to see them. I miss them so much. Tiffany and I met up and talked about our love lives. Uh haha. Then we went to go meet up with Yan, Joe, Freddy and Sue at Ichiza. Good stuff.
And today, Rachel comes back. Hopefully I can go meet up with her at least once because we didn't hang out during summer at all. This weekend Wayne should be here as well. I hope I don't have to work lousy shifts because I want to spend time with everyone. I wish my days off didn't land in the middle of the week. Damnit.
All in all, I do love all my co-workers. I didn't think I'd make friends so fast but everyone is just so nice, and we're all struggling together.
Kevin told me that our upcoming paycheck only consists of our training time. I really hope not because I would really feel like I've been working for nothing.
I started my first day of work on the 13th from 6-10. I really enjoyed my first day of work. I was running late and I saw Courtland in his red car running late as well, so I kind of chased after him up the stairs. We sat in auditorium 6 and it was the VIP seats. Amazingly comfortable.

Cure For The Itch
I didn't know anyone read this besides Alma and Niki. lolol.
Finding work shoes is difficult, when all they're looking for is appearance.
Alma and I were discussing about black Friday ads that we've seen and how I saw Nip/Tuck ones for 15 dollars and was so stoked about getting them. Then she tells me that she's seen it at Target that day. What thee. So I ended up going today and bam, seasons 1-3 were 15 dollars each. I ended up just getting season 1 since there was one left and the lady told me they'll still be selling until Saturday. Man, I wish I had money.
I gave into my guilty conscience and bought Resevoir Dogs.
I think I'm going to exchange my work pants tomorrow.
I wasn't even scheduled to work but they ended up putting me down from 4-10 tomorrow. Even though I told him I would be done with school by 4. I guess I'm going to have to ditch Japanese or leave early to try and manage traffic and change all at the same time.
Oh, and I know, you're probably tired of hearing this, but I won something on the radio again. I decided why not, so I called in for 107.9 and won the new Killers CD. It puts me in a drawing to win an XBOX 360 and Guitar Hero 3. Uhh, yeah, of course I'm going to give it a try. They've been giving out CDs every hour today since 6am. So pretty much, it's only out of a little over 10 entries. I hope I win.
I was really hoping to go to Brand New last week. I'm sure they will come again.
On Friday night, I hung out with Nevielle for the first time since she's left for the Phillipines. I had fun walking through FAO Schwartz tipsy and I guess just acting dumb. Except one of the workers kept chasing me with those life-like dolls and freaked out I guess.
On Saturday night, it was my ex's birthday party. Decided to go to it and I'm glad I did. Besides the two annoying guys hitting on me, I ran into an old friend, Malachi. We used to ride the bus in middle school together. I haven't seen him since. It truly was amazing talking to him again and got caught up on a lot of stuff.
I was Speed champion of the night. Jessica tried stealing someone's guitar hero controller but failed and hella people found out about it and made fun of her. I ended up taking care of birthday boy and Jessica. I felt bad that Mike had to work at 5am and didn't even sleep.
Yesterday I was supposed to go to Michelle Gu's and Kristine Recto's birthday dinner. I bailed because I didn't want to go spend money at Cheesecake Factory and was planning on meeting up with them after their dinner. I ended up watching Gone Baby Gone with Alma, Niki, Alex, Dallas, Alexa, Ashley, April and April's friend. Ha, I spent money.. I didn't know what the movie was about at all prior to watching it, besides a missing girl. Alex and I tried to look up the synopsis and we didn't understand it. But the movie was directed by Ben Affleck. Not bad. I did enjoy it. I felt it was a little long, but it might be because I was really tired. I'm still not sure what I would've done still. Really fucked up shit.
Ended up not seeing Michelle because they wanted to go to a hookah lounge that was located on Tropicana and Pecos. Are they out of their minds? Who travels that far to just hookah?
Oh, and believe me, I'm not trying to avoid you guys or anything. I just don't like dropping what I'm doing to just hang out with someone else. All in all, I always feel bad whenever I turn down whoever calls me. And besides, I've been sitting at home catching up on all the Office seasons, which btw, is amazing.
Oh, and I'm jealous of Niki. He went on a second date on Saturday. I've never been on a date before. I really want to one day, seriously. It's sad.

But the movie was directed by Ben Affleck. Not bad. I did enjoy it. I felt it was a little long, but it might be because I was really tired. I'm still not sure what I would've done still. Really fucked up shit.
Ended up not seeing Michelle because they wanted to go to a hookah lounge that was located on Tropicana and Pecos. Are they out of their minds? Who travels that far to just hookah?
Oh, and believe me, I'm not trying to avoid you guys or anything. I just don't like dropping what I'm doing to just hang out with someone else. All in all, I always feel bad whenever I turn down whoever calls me. And besides, I've been sitting at home catching up on all the Office seasons, which btw, is amazing.
Oh, and I'm jealous of Niki. He went on a second date on Saturday. I've never been on a date before. I really want to one day, seriously. It's sad.

Hoo Hoo Hoo
That's all I think about whenever I hear The Rolling Stones song, "Miss You". I was trying to figure out what this song was for the longest time not realizing I already had it on my computer. I ran through the Hard Rock to look at the playlist on the wall. Hah.
So these days I've been pretty busy. But it's been good.
November 6
I went to go obtain a health card. This lady was coughing all over me and I was just so disgusted and anxious to get out of the place. The lady who kept coughing on me was bitching nonstop and her boyfriend was telling her to shut the fuck up and how she was embarrassing him. It was amusing. Why was the health card 50 bucks? Jessica got hers last year for like 20. At least 30. But what the fuck. I was really pissed cause they wouldn't let me pay half with cash so I had to overdraft.
It's a little sad with my money situation. I even went to coinstar to cash out coins to cover the overdraft costs in my bank account. Then I realized, oh fuck, I have to fucking pay off my parking ticket as well. That didn't work out because they wouldn't accept my card online. bah.
Pretty much I missed Poli. Sci. cause I was already running late, to go get a health card. Uhh.
After all that shit, Cathleen came and picked me up. I forgot the first UNLV basketball game was the same night but Cathleen had bought me a ticket to Circa Survive already.
So the first band we walked into was just terrible. The band itself played alright, but the singer. My god. The singer. He was out of tune, and I think it was on purpose. I really don't know who they were. I'm looking through their MySpace's right now and no one sounds like them. I think they only had 2 songs and the only people who have 2 songs on their MySpace is Ours. But I don't think it's them...
Well the 2nd band was Dear Hunter which was just great. Made up for that shitty band.
3rd band was I believe was named Ours. Longest shittiest set of my life. The last song they played lasted 30 minutes. On top of the 30 minutes of music they already sang. Their lyrics were so fucking awkward. Like "Don't look at me and say you see a white boy, I am different from you". And another song he just kept chanting the MURDER over and over. Goth faggoty shit. I was so angry that their last song wasted my life.
I kind of think they did that on purpose. Fear Before The March Of Flames were supposed to play before Circa but I don't even think they came out.
Anyways. worst set of my life. Though, Circa Survive definitely made up for it. Anthony Green grew out his hair and looked cute. They opened up the first song with confetti and threw out big balloons for everyone to hit and pop. They did this twice more, while the balloons got even larger. It was crazy. Reminded me of the balloons when I saw Muse. Anthony Green got so much better at performing live.
Cat and I ended up talking in the car until like 2am. I really do enjoy catching up with her. It's very much like the old days.
November 7
I went to go deposit the coin cashed money and went to go watch the health video. I was falling asleep. That video was a fucking hour long. My word. But I got my card first and left so fast. Went to go to the library so I could print out the new notes for Psychology and found out there was a power outage. This guy kept staring at me trying to log on. He could've told me. Douchebag. I found Andrea and we went to BEH to try to use the lab there, failed. Ran into Melyssa so went to the MSU lab and printed out shit there.
I got to class realizing that today was the last day to pay off my parking ticket before they double it. Fucking shit. And I didn't get out of class until after 5 and that's when they close.
Luckily when I got home, my card went through. Christ. Went to Isaac's to battle him at guitar hero except he sucked. I remember him being really good. Found some info about 4chan, Jessica's favorite message board site. Crazy people.
November 8
I knew I was on a big time constraint with my essay and with all those training stuff. I pretty much had a full schedule today, so right after poli. sci., I went straight to the library and started my essay. I seriously forced myself and amazingly, I wrote for a straight hour in a half. 3 pages about why message boards should be regulated. Especially with that guy who posted about how he was going to shoot up his school and actually did it in Finland. Actually, that happened yesterday. Kind of sad.
I ate and drove around for a bit before I finally went to Town Square. I parked in the garage and had no clue where the fuck to go. So I started walking through the shopping district. It was really nice. There were so many construction people there just staring at me but I just kept looking around. Lucky Brand, Aldo, Perfumania, Guitar Center, etc. is going to be there. Not all the signs were up. And there is so much more work to do. I don't even think they're going to be done by Friday. I finally found these stairs that led right to the entrance of the movie theatre but then one of my managers were there and told me to go around to the back of the building. I got there and found a some people waiting. There was a large parking lot where we were at and you could see the 95 right past it.
I grew some courage and finally started a convo with this girl who was next to me asking how long she was there for. Bam, she talked so much. Thank god. I finally made a friend. We had like 5 attempts to be in the same group and finally we were together. We had to play ice breakers and remember people's names and relearn about ushering. We ended up not being able to go in the building because they were conducting some electricity tests, so we went home about 2 1/2 hours early. Yes.
They wanted us to walk to the garage in pairs because of the creepy construction workers. I was trying to walk with this one guy named Cortland. And I guess it worked out in the end. We talked about psychology and philosophy while walking to our cars, which happened to be right next to each other. He really reminds me of David.. but 6ft. Too bad him and Kristina aren't in my training group tomorrow. Bah. Good news is, we're still getting paid for not working all the hours.
November 9
So I was on my way to UNLV and I decided to take Flamingo down cause it's not so busy at the time of day. I watch this red Nissan Maxima tail gating the shit out of this red sports car. The sports car decides to brake check their ass because they just wouldn't stop. I watched the Maxima tail gate all these other cars and when we finally hit a red light, a little after Las Vegas Blvd., they happened to be parked right next to the sports car. I notice they're yelling at each other. The passenger out of the Maxima, happens to be black, comes out of the car and walks toward the sports car. The guy from the sports car, being white, got out. They both happened to be the same height and they started doing the whole trying to make each other flinch and then the white guy tried to push his door into the other guy. This started this huge fight and they started wailing on each other. Except, they didn't do a very good job and it just looked really sad and very sissy-like. I was really shocked and a little scared that someone was going to pull out a gun. Mind you, this is all going on right in front of my car. Not down the street, but directly, in front of my car. The lady from the Maxima is screaming for the black guy to get back in the car and everyone is honking at them and telling them to cut that shit out. And then, the light turns green.
So, I actually got my essay and outline done. I was really proud and got to class early and for once, not freaking out about being unprepared. It was a chill day. Got candy. Loled at the fucked up similes we made about how we feel about the class.
Went home to eat and watched 2 more episodes from The Office disc I got from Netflix. I'm kind of mad they sent me disc 4 first out of season 2, but I figure it won't be that big of a deal. God, I love Jim. He is way too funny.
I went to training and the second I got there, they pretty much told us to go home cause we couldn't get in the building still. I got my first paycheck stub stating I got $17.53 for one of my orientations. lololol. I didn't get my visa card yet, so it's useless to me. But I have to go buy work shoes and a belt to get it approved tomorrow at next training. I really want to train in the movie theatre so it'd be easier. This is ridiculous. We have to train at the Mariott shit again roleplaying with Monopoly money. Bah.
But again, good news. I'm getting paid for the 6 hours. So yay, free money.
I haven't hung out with the others in a while. I kind of feel bad, but I haven't been spending money. And since I have no money to spend, I don't want anyone to be paying for me so I rather not bother. Plus I don't want to waste gas. Man. I've never felt so poor in my life. My god.
So these days I've been pretty busy. But it's been good.
November 6

Go Forth And Die
sprink353 (12:30:55 AM): you fucking bitch
Auto response from violet rays x (12:30:56 AM): sprink353 (12:41:59 PM): did you fuck that girl yo uwatched a movie with?
sprink353 (12:30:57 AM): lmao
Shit, I haven't been updating.
I'll be brief.
October 31
I got the money from Tina. Before that I ended up borrowing 40 from my mom to pay for gas and etc. I already paid it back the next day.
I had my first orientation on Halloween for the job. It was 3 hours long of don't laugh at handicapped people and always make eye contact. Bah.
This is the first time I haven't gone trick-or-treating... like ever. Only one year I didn't and it was during that 9/11 year. But that's it. It's kind of sad, but I wasn't even up for it anyways. Plus I hate candy.
I went to UNLV right after and met up with Marcio and his friends and waited with them for Dethklok. No one was there except them and one other group of people. I guess they wasted their time waiting for 3 hours just to see Dethklok. Isaac came and we got some Dethklok posters and postcards for free. I felt like a dumbass with my bag going into this metal show. I was reading my English book so I could start on homework and there was this girl taking pictures of the line. And there I was, right in the front of the line, reading. Hah.
Brendon Small is not bad looking for a 32 year old. Kind of reminds me of Dane Cook. Not so sexy voice though. Ha. Or maybe it is. It was interesting. I was dead center in the front so I took some pictures. Isaac and Marcio were really excited. I felt bad, cause I didn't know any of their songs really. It was great how the show was put together though. It was pretty much in complete darkness while Metalocalypse was playing behind them and it synced with their performance whenever they'd stop playing a couple of songs. Brendon made it a point that he was into college girls. uhh haha.
It was sad when everyone ended up leaving and no one really stayed for Trails Of Dead that was supposed to play after them.
We chipotle'd after. Then Isaac and I went to Joannah's for some Halloween party. Isaac got super drunk and I just took pictures and laughed at him. I ended up not drinking. Wasn't really feeling it. It was fun though. Saw some old friends from high school.
November 1
The Chevelle show was quite awesome. The last time I saw them, I believe I was in the 9th grade. I was right up front after the band prior made everyone make a mosh pit. So I ran up to the front with my sister and just stood there. It was fun. Pete is super hot. And he cut his hair. I got pictures too. Ahhh. I found out the bassist is new? They kicked out their brother or something and recruited their brother-in-law. wtf haha.
Oh, and I got a guitar pic. :)
November 2
Then the next day I went to yet, another show. This time with Cathleen. She picked me up and we came just in time for the first band. I believe they were called Un Minded or some shit. They were terrible. There was a pit going on and all the kids were just wow. I've never seen so many hardcore, scene kids in such a big mass before. It was kind of disgusting. And everyone had lip piercings. It made me jealous, but disgusted at the same time.
Next was Devil Wears Prada. Not bad. Then Scary Kids Scaring Kids. I was a little mad that I only knew one song cause they sang a lot of their new songs from the new album. And then Emery did the same thing. I only knew like 4 songs. The last time I saw Emery, I knew every single one and it was amazing. A lot of people seemed to respond the same way whenever they'd play an old song. It was sad. Chiodos was about half and half. All in all, everyone did well. I was just weirded out that 3 bands came out with a new CD within the last month or so and based their sets off of them. Lame.
Cathleen and I ended up sitting in her car and just talked for a while. Then went to her house and ate and watched Mozart And The Whale, with Josh Hartnett. It's such a good movie. The entire thing was about autism. Watch it.
November 3
I had another orientation for work to go to. This time at Mariott Inn and yes, another 3 hours. It was the longest thing of my life. Even though we had breaks, it was horrible. Then the last hour they tried training us with Monopoly money to see how we'd react to a customer. Except my first group, the guy was just talking to us. And when we switched groups, right when I was supposed to go up and practice, we were running out of time. :)
I saw Saw 4 afterwards. It was a lot better than I expected. I think I liked it better than 2 and 3 put together. Though, there is something that I'm still questioning about, so I'm hoping they'll cover it in the 5th movie. Oh it's never going to end. At the same time, I'm over the whole Saw thing but whatever.
Afterwards, talked at Volcano Tea with Cathleen and Jessica for quite a while. Saw Nelson and Jazzy randomly. I saw a poster with this Japanese drama I watched but it was in Chinese and with different actors. It was weird. I saw Hana Yori Dango season 1&2 at the store and I really wanted to buy it but it was 30 fucken dollars. While Ichi The Killer was like fucken 8.50. Maybe I'll go back and buy the movie. And maybe Hana. Fuckkkkk, I want it.
Jessica and I went to go rent Guitar Hero 3 and played it at her house. I passed out for like 10 minutes trying to figure out how to beat Rage's guitarist. Pissed me off. But when I got home, I passed it in one try, so I don't fucken know haha.
November 4
Daylight Savings Day
Went to the ramen shop with Jesse and Joannah. Went home and played Guitar Hero some more. Ended up going to watch Lars And The Real Girl finally with Alma, Alexa, Alex, Dallas, Brittany, Niki & April. It was such a cute movie. I shouldn't have laughed at a lot of parts, but I couldn't help it. Oh, I love Ryan Gosling. I seriously went to watch the movie not knowing what it was about, just that Ryan was in it. I'm glad I still enjoyed it.
Carpooled to Alexa's afterward and got owned in billiards by Dallas. I don't even know why I sucked. Maybe I just suck now. But I played Bryan last week and owned the hell out of him. Maybe those tables at UNLV are 6ft.
Got Sonic finally after hearing Niki mention it about 7 times and no one responded. I felt bad for just walking off but Niki, Brittany and I really were hungry and mentioned it.
November 5
And today I went to the post office to mail Tiffany her birthday present and postcard. Finally returned Reign Over Me. Realized the second I turned on the movie, I actually had seen it already. I must be going braindead or something cause I can't remember shit anymore. Like right on cue, I just can't. There's something wrong with me.
Actually got to campus early and caught Andrea just in time. Printed all our psychology notes and went to class. Harlow's monkeys make me sad :( Those videos of the monkeys being recluse and hugging themselves is so freaking sad. Omfg.
I bought so many sunflower seeds.
Oh and I have 4 days worth of training from Thursday-Sunday. 4 hours on Thursday, but 6 hours each for the rest. I'm kind of angry but whatever. I need money. I'm sure I'll be getting paid. I better be getting paid for those orientations as well.
Well, I'm excited to finally see the movie theatre.
Not so excited for training. I'm going to hate practicing and fucking up a lot.
Auto response from violet rays x (12:30:56 AM): sprink353 (12:41:59 PM): did you fuck that girl yo uwatched a movie with?

November 4
Daylight Savings Day
Went to the ramen shop with Jesse and Joannah. Went home and played Guitar Hero some more. Ended up going to watch Lars And The Real Girl finally with Alma, Alexa, Alex, Dallas, Brittany, Niki & April. It was such a cute movie. I shouldn't have laughed at a lot of parts, but I couldn't help it. Oh, I love Ryan Gosling. I seriously went to watch the movie not knowing what it was about, just that Ryan was in it. I'm glad I still enjoyed it.
Carpooled to Alexa's afterward and got owned in billiards by Dallas. I don't even know why I sucked. Maybe I just suck now. But I played Bryan last week and owned the hell out of him. Maybe those tables at UNLV are 6ft.
Got Sonic finally after hearing Niki mention it about 7 times and no one responded. I felt bad for just walking off but Niki, Brittany and I really were hungry and mentioned it.
November 5
And today I went to the post office to mail Tiffany her birthday present and postcard. Finally returned Reign Over Me. Realized the second I turned on the movie, I actually had seen it already. I must be going braindead or something cause I can't remember shit anymore. Like right on cue, I just can't. There's something wrong with me.
Actually got to campus early and caught Andrea just in time. Printed all our psychology notes and went to class. Harlow's monkeys make me sad :( Those videos of the monkeys being recluse and hugging themselves is so freaking sad. Omfg.
I bought so many sunflower seeds.
Oh and I have 4 days worth of training from Thursday-Sunday. 4 hours on Thursday, but 6 hours each for the rest. I'm kind of angry but whatever. I need money. I'm sure I'll be getting paid. I better be getting paid for those orientations as well.
Well, I'm excited to finally see the movie theatre.
Not so excited for training. I'm going to hate practicing and fucking up a lot.
