well i got home from work a couple hours ago and it's like 11:30 at night, so excuse me if my writing sucks. Plus I'm trying my best to type quietly since my parents are sleeping and i have a tendency to type really loud and really fast so they hear this weird ticking noise. haha anyways. what is something interesting that has happened lately? well not a hell of a lot to be honest. i got my first pay check, pretty rad. and apparently i'm supposed to go down town to get some kind of copy center training or something like that. like some girl is going to show me everything there is to know about the copy center. whatever, my parents have to drive me and they aren't all that pleased about it, but they are willing to do it i guess. i've got to actually take my check to the bank now that i think of it. i mean i only got it yesterday, oh and i also have to take my $46.50 worth of rolled coins to the bank as well. i've had them sitting on my desk next to me forever. i mean they take up a lot of room. but i also need to get some more of those money roller things cause i kinda ran out. i've got a ton of spare change. but it's always super nice when you can add it all up to almost $50 right? well i think it's pretty awesome at least. maybe that's the dork in me but whatever.

i'm loving that vampire diaries show, i mean it's so awesome. i'm not sure what it is that i like about it, but it's just really good. like the effects in it are amazing and even the whole plot line is pretty good. it's still in the stages where they keep you guessing about a lot of stuff but i guess i'll figure it all out sooner or later. i love ian's character, damien or whatever. he's like the guy you totally want to hate but think he's super cool for being so evil. ok, maybe i'm the only one that feels that way, but a lot of times i always find myself loving the actors of the characters that i hate the most, because well that's what makes them great actors right? their ability to make you hate them.

i totally can't wait for lights' new album to come out. i've always thought she was so awesome. i still find it weird that she legally changed her name from valerie to lights though. i mean who actually wants to be called 'lights'? thats just weird to me. but whatever, i still think she is awesome. maybe just because i think any girl that can play the keytar is really rad. but whatever.

you have no idea how glad i am that it's friday. i finally get the next two days off and i don't have to work until monday. it's soooo nice. but then i have to work the next four days in a row, i get friday off and them i'm back at work on saturday. work sucks..... especially when i usually work the later shifts which are usually around the time that all of my shows would be on. so basically i have to tape them all. and sometimes my shows are on at the same time which makes life more difficult because i have to tape one of them and then try and find the other one on the internet. it's quite a challenge. but i have no choice. if only they had a tv at work, then i could watch my shows during my break. but of course they don't, we aren't hi-tech enough. actually no, they are just cheap, i mean we don't even have paper towel to dry your hands, you have to go to the washroom and use toliet paper to dry your hands.... it's rather annoying. but whatever i guess i'll live without paper towel.... hahah anyways, thats all i've got to say now. i've really got to go to bed before i fall asleep. lord knows that my eyes are closing right now.

So basically I haven't really been able to keep up with this as much as I'd like to. I'm doing my best though. It's just hard because I go to work and get home at like 9:30 and then I just want to go to bed, or I'll get home at around 5:00 and then I have to have dinner and by that point I'm just so dead tired that I just want to go watch TV and do something totally mindless. But today I only worked from 9:00-1:00 so I wasn't too bad. I hate starting at 9:00 though, because that means I have to get up at like 6:30 in order to get ready and all that crap. It kinda sucks. But I'm finally going to get my first paycheck this week. I think my manager said something about payday being on Friday so it all sounds good to me. I need to get paid haha. So far I've made like $400 in only a couple weeks so I'm totally going to save up for my Mac. I'm not totally sure which one I'm going to get yet. I might just get a simple MacBook, instead of the whole Pro one. Mainly because the Pro one is more expensive and I just don't like spending my money haha. But I'm planning on taking about $200 from every paycheck and just putting it in a savings account so that I can save up and eventually I'll have enough money for it without going broke haha. The last thing I want to do is go broke.

Once I've got enough money for my MacBook i'm going to have to start putting away money to save up for car insurance because I've got my road test set for December 18th. It's kind of insane considering that is like three months away, but my driving lessons don't start until October 8th so basically I've got a while to go. The road tests are totally booked up for some reason, apparently there are a million people all trying to get their licenses at the same time. It's kinda insane. But whatever.

Time to talk a bit of TV now. So I watched the new season of One Tree Hill and to be honest I was really disappointed. It wasn't my thing at all. Without Lucas and Peyton the whole show has a totally different dimension and all of these new characters who I don't really like. It's just going too far I think. Plus the plot lines are kind of over used. I mean is there really nothing else that they can come up with? Also Gossip Girl. Well I'm going to be honest again and say that I was disappointed. I don't know if my opinion in television is just changing or I've just built up all of these shows so much that I'm just becoming disappointed with the outcomes. But whatever the case I sure hope these shows get better because they used to be my favourites and I would hate to have to abandon them. Melrose Place? Well, the whole Sideny thing is annoying as hell and I wish her character wouldn't have even been in the show. It's just stupid. Everything about her is so lame and it's just pissing me off. The whole thing is way too overdramatic for my taste. But I'm going to get at least five episodes in before I make my final opinion on each of these shows. Mainly because sometimes it just takes a while for the shows to catch my interest. Lets just hope they get better.

Now, what elese happened recently? Well not a hell of a lot to be honest. I've been reading a lot actually. Just some random books, not super hardcore literature or anything. Not even close really. I've mainly just been reading those mindless teenage books. Because I'm not going to lie, they are rather entertaining and for the most part they tend to catch my interest quickly. I read this one book, Marked by P.C Cast & Kristen Cast. It's about Vampires and stuff, totally scamming off the whole Twilight thing and stuff but I still liked it. It was different and it kept my interest. Also I've always been a fan of Meg Cabot books, call them shallow or whatever, but I still love reading them. I actually read Pants On Fire. It was pretty good. One of those books that was hard for me to put down actually. Also if you don't already know I'm kind of a magazine junkie so I read the latest issues of Alternative Press with Paramore on the cover (amazing article on them by the way, the whole Josh and Hayley dating thing, i was totally going I KNEW IT!), Entertainment Weekly and Nylon. I honestly love Nylon magazine, I just love the looks of it. It's amazingly well put together. The design of it is fantastic. I wish that I could do something like that in the future. I don't even really know what you would call that, but like designing covers and layouts of magazines would be awesome. It's just such a beautifully well put together magazine. Everything in it is just so edgy, it's awesome. I should probably just go through and actually read it though. Considering the look of it caught my interest so much i just kind of scanned through the whole thing without even really glancing at the text of it.

So yeah, thats basically what I've been up to lately. Nothing much else to say.

Seriously, last night was drama filled. I can't believe Kanye. He totally wins my vote for biggest douche of the year. Sure Taylor Swift wasn't my pick for winning the category either, but come on. Do you really have to get on stage and be a huge asshole to her? She's only like seventeen years old? What kind of a person are you? I know that everyone is probably blogging and tweeting about this and will be doing so for the next month. But still I just can't get over the fact that he would do something so completely horrifying. I guess this coming from Kanye West shouldn't be a surprise. He's had his fair share of controversy. But honestly, he went way too far with this. You shouldn't do that to anyone never mind a teenage girl who is just receiving her first ever VMA. She is going to remember this for the rest of her life and she is going to remember what a douchebag you were. I don't know what was going through his thick skull at the time but come on. Either he was really really wasted or he is just so completely retarded and has no concept of common courtesy. In that moment I felt sooooo horrible for her, even Beyonce was in total shock. But really, good on Beyonce for giving Taylor a chance to come back out and finish her acceptance speech. That is just the kind of person Beyonce is and she is the kind of person that people should look up to. Anyone who looks up to Kanye West needs to get their head checked. I hope he realizes what an idiot he made of himself and goes into hiding for a while, but then again he is on Jay Leno tonight so that should be interesting.

Now on to the lighter topics of the night? How totally awesome did the Cobra's look? Despite the fact that they didn't win anything. I was totally sure they were going to win too. But oh well, there's always next year, hopefully. I loved how they showed up in like one of those Double Decker tour buses though. I like seriously yelled 'GABE!' at the tv when i saw them. And when he and Pete Wentz came out to introduce Lady GaGa I laughed so hard. They are nuts, seriously. I don't know what they were exactly trying to accomplish out there with the whole 'call gabe saporta' thing but it was kinda funny. I love the Cobra's seriously, and they totally should have gotten the award over Britney, but whatever. I just really hope that they don't have this whole one hit wonder thing going on because they really do deserve to be noticed and have lasting power.

I was kinda upset that 3OH!3 didn't win the best new artists award. I mean Lady GaGa? Come on, she is a total freak. Every outfit was like a tragedy, I don't know what she was thinking. She must have been drinking the same thing that Kanye West was drinking because she was nuts. Like she was all creepy masquerade lady and her performance was just filled with creepy blood and weirdness and that red uhh..... thing was horrible. I mean come on. She looked like she was a bit massive bloody cocoon or something like that. It was just weird. But the last outfit, oh my god. She was like an Eskimo or a lion. It was terrible. She was totally insane. Katy Perry looked cute as ever though, especially during her cover of Queens "We Will Rock You", she was so perfect for that. Aside from all of that though I was kind of disappointed in their choice in hosts again this year. I mean Russell Brand? All he does is make the show uncomfortable to watch, I realize that in England and all that they are allowed to say some pretty vulgar things on TV but the whole audience was just silent, nobody ever laughed at a damn thing he said. It was just too weird. So basically, please don't bring him back next year.

Anyways there is my rant on the VMA's. All in all it was a fairly entertaining show, the performances were pretty decent, aside from the Jay-Z one just because it was hella boring and I'm totally not into that kinda rap and stuff. But whatever. I've gotta go to work at 1:00 today so I'm not really looking forward to that at all. I think it's pretty safe to say that I'm actually kind of dreading it. I work every day this week and it totally sucks, but whatever. There isn't a lot I can really do about it. I'm slowly getting more and more used to it I guess. I mean aside from the fact that last week I met the Regional Manager of the company, it was slightly nerve wrecking but he was a really nice guy so it was all good. Hopefully I'll have a good week though and nobody yells at me or anything. I'm not going to lie, I hate dealing with customers, especially if you're a bit slow. People don't really understand the concept of being new. And god forbid you make a mistake and have to ask someone over to help you, they go into this big huffy puffy mode and get all pissy. I'm like 'well sorry.... I'm not a super genius like you apparently were at your first job' Sometimes I am ashamed of the human race. LOL

Well work has been.... stressful. I guess you could call it. I've been working eight hour shifts and it's killing me. You have no idea how hard it is to go from sitting on your ass all summer to standing for eight hour long periods of time. It's not fun, that's for sure. I guess I'm getting more and more used to the place, but I've still screwed up a couple times. I guess that is to be expected though, I mean you can't do everything perfectly when you've never done it before. I've had to learn to do the whole photocopying thing and it's actually not to hard, it's just that there are like 10 other machines in there that I haven't even begun to learn what they do. Today is my first day off in a while and it's been insane. I'm making money though, so I guess that's a good thing. I'm not going to be totally broke anymore and having to like scrounge up money to buy stuff. See I have always been one of those really cheap people who doesn't really like to spend any of their money haha. The only things that I actually buy religiously are like certain magazines, books and CD's. I'll rarely actually buy clothes for myself and if I do the article of clothing must be less than $30 haha, yeah I'm cheap. I told you.

It's kind of weird considering that I'm not going back to school this year. I mean sometimes I'm glad that I'm not going but in a way I kind of miss it. I guess you could say that I felt comfortable in school and now having to venture out into 'real life' is kinda turning out to be a big shock. Hearing about all my friends going off into like University and College makes me a bit jealous sometimes. I mean I watch shows like Greek and stuff and I'm totally wishing I could get the whole 'college' experience thing. No it's not like I wanna go to party and get drunk and have sex with half the male student population like the people on that show. But I think it would be cool to try out. I highly doubt that most colleges and university play out anything like they do on Greek anyways. I do love that show though. Thank god it's finally back for another season.

I guess with September comes the start of all the shows that I tend to watch religiously. Unfortunately i'll probably have to like tape them all and watch them later considering the fact that I'm working basically all week until like 9:30. But so far I've been able to watch Melrose Place, which to be honest I was kind of excited about. I really wanted to see Ashlee Simpson-Wentz in it. I mean I'm not going to lie, I love that girl, despite her whole SNL lip-sync tragedy I still think she's a pretty rad person and not only because she's married to Pete Wentz and all. Haha, no although Bronx is probably the most awesome baby around. Ok, I kid. But to be totally honest I was rather disappointed in Melrose Place. It was alright, I mean it wasn't the worst show I've ever seen but it's exactly the way Melrose Place is supposed to be, totally over the top over dramatic. I mean someone gets killed and it turns out that it was their long lost twin sister that they never really knew about. Ok, thats not really what happened in the show, but that's the kind of thing I hate about shows like Melrose Place. They always have extremely insane plots that nobody can ever relate to. I will continue to watch it though. I'm a firm believer in giving it a chance, well that and I want to see more of Ash, since her last acting gig was like on CSI: NY with Pete and it was really really short. Before that was on though, 90210 was on. Honestly I gave up on that show a long time ago, it also has those really stupid plots. Plus I never really liked any of the characters. They were all just annoying. Oh and speaking of annoying characters, let's talk about Glee. Alright so I'll probably also continue to watch this show, because it isn't that I hate it or anything. But I honestly dislike every female character on that show. That Rachel girl is annoying as hell and so is Emma and the dude's wife, whatever her name is. I mean seriously. The whole musical thing is alright, I mean considering the fact that they use decent songs and stuff, but I hate the way the people act, like whenever they sing you can totally tell they are lip-syncing, if you're going to lip-sync at least make it look believable and don't open you're mouth so fricken wide that it looks like you're trying to stick your fist it in. They don't even sing, like someone else is singing it on a track. I was like WTF. What has this world come to?

Now can we talk about a show that I actually liked? The Vampire Diaries. Ok I'll admit at first I wasn't even planning on watching it. I was just like 'oh great another thing that's trying to feed off the whole twilight thing' which I am very annoyed with btw. Twilight seriously is starting to piss me off.... Anyways. I actually really liked the show so far, maybe it had something to do with the fact that Ian Somerhalder, who played Boone on Lost was in it. But whatever. It actually looks like it's going to be a decent show. And the best part about it? Holy shit, it actually had good actors rather that stupid Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart and the rest of their cast of retards. I know all those stupid Twihards would probably want to kill me for saying that but seriously? Did anyone see Robert at the Teen Choice awards when he won choice hottie? What a weirdo. Plus on that topic of Choice Hotties..... Megan Fox? COME ON! She looks like a man half the time. I don't know how people find her so attractive. I could totally understand if it was like Blake Lively or something, she is very pretty, but Megan Fox? Just so. I mean the only time she's actually looked good was in Transformers.... I don't know why but she actually looked decent there.

Oh and have I mentioned that I am totally excited for the MTV VMA's? Because I totally am. I want the Cobra's to win soooo badly. I know that they totally deserve it. They have been working so hard and are finally getting the recognition that they totally deserve. I mean come on, they are such an amazing band and they totally deserve to actually get some kind of an award for it. Oh and of course Cassadee Pope from Hey Monday is going to be interviewing people on the red carpet for Buzznet. So i'm totally excited for that! I'm also excited for all of the rest of the shows that are starting soon like One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, Heroes, Greys Anatomy, Flashforward (The lost spin off! OMG!) and I'm even going to stoop so low as to say the Hills. I've always hated Kristen C. and I know I'm going to hate her on the show but I at least want to watch a couple episodes to see how it turns out. Anyways this turned out a bit longer than expected. But whatever, once I get to talking about my favourite TV shows there is no stopping me.

So yeah, I've had my first two days or work already. Both of them being eight hour shifts. Basically I'm dead tired but so glad that I get the rest of the week off. You see they are apparently going through budget cuts or something like that and they already had the schedule for this week all made up so basically i'm just on call all week. I am totally fine with that though because I feel like shit. That is actually an understatement. I mean my stomach basically feels like it's going to explode and I feel like I'm going to throw up every five seconds. Which actually happened on Monday night. Yeah, not pleasant at all. I can't even move without every muscle in my body aching. I'm not used to standing up for eight hours two days in a row, my back is killing me and so are my feet. But my stomach is the thing that bothers me the most. There is nothing worse than having the feeling like there is something stuffed in your stomach that is trying to like explode. Yeah probably not the best way to describe it or anything but it just feels like my stomach is like expanding or something. I'm probably going to get my parents to take me to the doctor, something I don't do very often cause I don't really worry that much about colds and flus and stuff but I mean i've never felt this bad. Sure i've got a pretty low pain tolerence. But this is just really bad. I can hardly breathe without it hurting and it all just sucks

Anyways my job isn't super hard or anything. Working a cash register is fairly basic so it's not all that difficult for me. The only thing that is going to take some getting used to is learning how to do the photocopying and stuff. There are wayyyy too many buttons haha. And you have to know exactly what way to put the paper in to make it double sided or it will be backwards and stuff like that. But I mean I think i'll get used to it. I hope at least haha. The staff seems super nice, they aren't really super serious or anything like that. They are all really close to each other and stuff but they are totally friendly and are all a bunch of goof balls. So it's a lot of fun. I hope I just don't screw up anything too epically.

The one thing that I am having a problem with though is finding where things are. I mean I guess that is to be expected considering I've only worked there for two days. But when someone comes up to me and asks where something is I'm kinda like 'ummmmm'. I've played the whole 'oh i'm new' card a lot XD Also it's really hard to figure out what people are talking about half the time, like they'll say something about a 'rolodex' which I had no idea what that was until recently or a 'bankers box' I mean you'd think that a bankers box would have something to do with money right? Well wrong, it's basically just a big cardboard box. I don't understand why they feel the need to call it a bankers box though. It seems a bit weird to me. But whatever, there isn't anything I can do about that now. Anyways my stomach is killing me right now so I guess I should get going. Hopefully I'll feel better soon cause I don't know how much longer I can handle feeling this shitty.
