I'm so dirty, I'm ashamed of myself. I don't mean pervert dirty, I mean smelly dirt dirty. Salt has crystalized on my eyebrows from my sweat. That's nasty. I worked a lot today. I actually did stuff at my job.
*gasp!*
I actually did stuff at my job, get this, TWO DAYS IN A ROW.
*double gasp!*
All in all- I smell.

Today I made Ryan a gift. See, he's a smoker. I can simply just yell at him for that in vain, for I know he will never quit because of what I have to say. However, I do plan on breaking him of the habit of littering the butts everywhere. He says, "I don't throw them on the ground!" and I say, "Only when I'm around because you know I'll beat you up!" He and I have many funny conversations about this. Example:

~~Me: "I'm gonna be nice, Ryan. I could tell you that it takes eight years for cigarette butts to disintigrate because they're made of fiberglass, and everytime you throw one on the ground it's just gonna pile up and up, and soon the zoo will be filled because of you--- but I'm not gonna."
Ryan: "I think you just did..."
Me: "No, I didn't say anything. Kinda like I didn't see you throw that butt on the ground, right????"
Ryan: "I'm so ashamed."

Today we were sitting on the steps of the old office, and he threw one into the grass. I gave him a look, and he was like, "You don't have to pick them up over here!!!" and I said, "I might not have to, but Mother Nature does, but she can't! She's elderly!" He grumbled and picked it up.

Anyway- back to the gift. I was cleaning up all the cigarette butts on the grounds, and I noticed Ryan's everywhere. He smokes these cigar-smelling ones that are dark brown, so I know which ones are his. I decided to start collecting them and save them in a popcorn bag. I cleaned all over the zoo and ended up with about 25 or so of his. I showed Gretchen my gift, and she was like, "No! We have to put them in a birthday bag!" So we did. All wrapped up in a pretty little bag were 25 smelly cigarette butts, and a plastic snake. I gave him the gift, and he was quite amused. I know he picked up on the hint, but I don't know if he will start throwing them away or not. I warned him that I would pick them up and give them to him from now on, so we'll see what happens.

Yesterday was a busy day as well, but my visitors made things fun. Did you hear that, Mike? FUN. Chrissy and Heidi came first. I haven't seen Heidi since that random time in November. That's the way it is with her, though. Her visits are short and sweet- just like her. =) They left around four, and then Zach came around 5. He and Ben talked to each other. I think that's one of the final steps in moving on. Fantastic!

I'm gonna go shower now.

You're thinking about me naked, aren't you? Who's the dirty one now?!?

*cough*mikehagan*cough*

Oh, sweet relief. I went and they stuffed my mouth again. This time he made it so I can't tell it is there. I think that's why the other one fell out. I kept messing with it.

I'm gonna have mucho visitors at the zoo today. Yay!! Seriously, kids. Come visit me throughout the week. It gets boring and lonely after about 4 in the gift shop. I can only rearrange the plush animals so many times before I kill myself with a hanging monkey.

If you like artsy porn with violence, classical music, and a plotline- go rent A Clockwork Orange. I finished the book, so Zach and I rented it. Yeah, it's pretty much like the book so I wasn't expecting a sugar-coated movie. I still like both of them. Does that make me weird?

I was gonna make a list of things I want to do in my lifetime, but I'll do that at a later time.

My blog is orange!!! Yay.

I'm scared. The dressing for my dry socket came out, so now I have a huge hole in my gums and it's starting to hurt again. I'm unhappy. I hate teeth. I guess a good thing is that now the stuff is out, I can tell that the weird bump is gone.

whiney whiney whiney

Suzie has internet now at her house, and that makes me giddy. Yay!

Ouch, I got excited and hurt myself.

=(

This new blogger is fancy.


Chrissy- I'm sorry I didn't return any calls, mainly because I didn't know you had called. Perhaps leaving a voicemail?? I love you, friend. If or when I ever get a day off, I will come visit you. How about Saturday??? Like, next Saturday. That's my day off. Seriously, I work 7 days in a row- 12-7:30 every day. EVERY DAY. I was supposed to work 3-7:30 tomorrow, but Beth "I don't know how to have a job" McNeely can't work, yet again, so I have to come in earlier.

My dry socket now has cement-coverd gross stuff in it. I have to go back next Tuesday to get it taken out. I really hope that's the end of it.

I leave for Michigan/Florida in a month. My cousin is getting married in Michigan, so I had to buy girly clothes for that. I've got a burgandy skirt and everything. Yikes. After the wedding, my mom, sister, and I are going to Florida for two weeks. That's a really really really long time. We won't be back until the 10th of August. July 25th to the 10th of August. Why we will be gone for so long, I have no idea. If I slit my wrists in Florida, I apologize to those who are fond of me. You'll get over it, I'm sure. The three of us managed alright in Arkansas, but who knows- this is a much longer time. Bah.

Mike and I are taking finite math together. We'll cheat off each other. Yay.

Erin Childers has a life now. I'm happy to hear that. =)

Suzie left me a drunken voicemail. I miss her and her drunk self.

I had Free Day dramas to share, but I'm not gonna. I won't give that blasted day the statisfaction. Let's just say that I asked off for the next Thursday after next week. I HATEHATEHATEHATEHATEHATEHATEHATEHATE Free Day.

...but I LOVE you.

So it turns out I've had a dry socket. Everyone made it out to be some agonizing pain, and all I had was a dull annoying pain that fired up only after my jaw moved a lot. I thought it would go away, so I never said anything. The only thing that I was suspicious of was this bump that had developed on my gums, so I told my mom and we went back to the doctor today. I told him how it had been hurting a bit and he looked at it and was like, "Well, look at that. You have a dry socket." He stuffed some stuff in my gums, which hurt A LOT while he did it, but now the pain is gone. I have to wake up early the next couple of days to get there at 7:30 so they can change the dressings....that's annoying. Also, the bump could be a piece of tooth that was left in there, and may turn into a razor-sharp pain....neat... They just didn't take x-rays or anything yet, because it didn't bother me all that much.
So, here's a question- do drama queens develop the drama, or does the drama come to them? I often ponder this, because as most of you know- I'm overdramatic about things, but yet random dramas occur all the time with me. I always have a story though. That's gotta be a good thing, right??


Suck it up, ya wussie!!!!!!

This weekend was super fun. I got to see so many people that I haven't seen in ages. I don't know when I got so social, but I really enjoy hanging out with everyone. The party at the lake was so so so much fun. My cookies were a hit, the chair was a hit, and I got to molest my Chrissy. YAY!!!!! She didn't last the entire night, so we made out, and then Zach and I headed to the Davis house to end the night. Zach ended up staying inside and watching Boondock Saints, and I hung out by the bonfire with Erin, Mike, Terri, BJ, and occasional others. It was a great time. I have so many stories to tell, but I can't distinguish any particulars at the moment.

Today was a nice day at work. Our cheetahs are coming next week. How exciting is that?!? FINALLY, a function for our cheetah deck. Ben visited me today in the gift shop and we ate some Kaboom Rocks that we sell. They're really expensive Pop Rocks. Anyway- one of the rocks got into the hole in my gums and freaked me out. It was pretty funny, but I guess you had to be there. It made Ben laugh a lot...
I got to work with Kelly today, too. I haven't worked with her in forever. She, too, recently got her wisdom teeth removed. We bonded, and she supplied me with drugs. She's also in the cute pre-dating stages of a relationship with a boy. She's so giddy and cute. Yay for Kelly McMillen.

Hey, speaking of the zoo, someone was supposed to come visit me today, but never did. Can you guess who that'd be?? If you don't guess Mike Hagan at all, then you're bad at this game.

I ripped my stitches out. The teeth doctor man will most definitely yell at me tomorrow...

I'm guessing Sarah Logan as my stalker.


Today was a great day at work. My boss told me to do nothing. Literally- he said, "hang out in the zooper and gift shop. You can clean tomorrow." What the crap? How often does a boss tell you to do nothing? That's awesome. Ben gave me DDT-flavored strawberries and raw cherries, one of which looked like an embryo- it freaked me out. He's like a mini produce section, minus the kumquats. He's also a great friend. So is Ryan. I love the keeper boys. =)

I saw a license plate today that said, "STD OIL". That sounds icky.

Zach got this hideously wonderful chair that he's going to give to me. It's neon green with bright orange cushions. Dang, he's the best boyfriend ever. I heart him and his wacky furniture.

I'm still a little out of it, but all is well in the land of the teeth. One of my stitches fell out today, and I'm not quite sure if that's a good thing or not. At least I'm done bleeding?

baby mama drama

I feel a little better, but I'm still kind of out of it. Thanks for everyone's concern!

Dear Stalker,
If you could please answer the following questions, that'd be keen:

1) Are you male or female?

2) Have I ever worked with you?

3) Did you or did you not leave me cookies at the zoo the other day?

4) Are we related?

5) When was the last time I saw you?

6) What is my middle name?

7) What are you wearing?

Ok, I'm gonna go lie/lay down somewhere and hope for the best.
Keep your pants up.

My teeth are gone, but the pain is not. I'm also still bleeding. They said it should clear up w/in two hours or so- over 24 hours later, and I'm still bleeding. I'm fearing a dry socket, because the pain killers don't work either. Yikes. The only time it doesn't hurt is when the gauze is packed in back there, but lo- I've run out because of the bleeding. This is gross.

Who my stalker be??

I'm slightly sunburnt. Not the ooziness like I had last summer, but burnt nontheless. Does this surprise anyone? Yeah, me either.

I had to clean an overflowing toilet filled w/ poop today. Dang, I love my job.

I SAW MIKE HAGAN!!!!!!!!! He was at S&S the other night with Terri. It was great fun. I missed hating him. I love you, BFF. =)

Apparently I have a new stalker. I love when this happens! ESPECIALLY when I don't have to pay them. My gut tells me it's Melissa Keathley, but who knows. I have a secret admirer at the zoo too, so I wonder if they are the same person. I'm thinking the one at the zoo is Gretchen, but I don't know about that either. Hmmm.

Zach has a mad-crazy crush on the girl who plays Tawney on Even Stevens. =)

I'm getting my wisdom teeth removed on Tuesday. I'm scared. I have done nothing but complain, whine, and whimper about the blasted things ever since they started coming in, so I'm glad to get them out. However, I'm a wussie. I've been reading about what could happen after they're out, and the dangers of being unconcious. I'm scerd. What if I do something wrong? I have to fast six hours beforehand, but not a problem- I'll be sleeping during that time. What if I have some weird medical history that I don't know about because I'm adopted. Maybe I have some genetic deformity involving the gumline and soft palate that I don't know about. What if I wake up in the middle? What if I wake up in the middle and I hear, "Well, that's odd. That certainly wasn't supposed to happen...". I'm freakin' out here. I have Erin Childers syndrome- I'm thinking waaaaayyy too much about things.
yip

Sean thinks I'm swell. Oh, golly gosh, that makes my day. That and we're gonna devirginize Stephy. Yay!

Today was free day at the zoo. Every Thursday this year is free. I HATEHATEHATEHATEHATE free day. Imagine if the Decatur Celebration and Summer Start were to be related, but somehow produced offspring that just happened to also be their cousin...yeah, definitely free days at the zoo. Free days make me cranky. I give the customers sass.

situation A:
It's 6:00, and we close at 7:00. This woman wants to rent a wagon, but doesn't want to pay the full $2 for only an hour. She offers me $1. I refuse and tell her that it's $2 at any time. She gives me attitude....wrist flicking, neck throwing...attitude, and says, "Well, I wouldn't pay that." and hands me $2. I say to her, "you're getting in free today. It's costing you $2 that you wouldn't pay, but you're paying me anyways." She huffs away with her smelly little child and grabs the wagon. I think she threw the kid in it. I hope that he got a little cleaner as he skidded across the wagon. Perhaps his mother choked on his cloud of dirt? Dare to dream.

situation B:
It's 7:05. We're closed and I'm out trying to get the flag down. When I get back to the gift shop entrance, another woman with two fairly decent kids, but with more attitude than the first is all, "We should get in. I called. I called. I just called and they just said that I could stay until 8 if I got here before 7, and it ain't even 7 yet." I roll my eyes and say, "I've been answering the phone all night, and I know that if you were to have just called, I would have told you that we closed at 7. That's it. We're closed. Everything closes at 7." With even more attitude she says, "What-ever, I called. We should get in. I drove all the way from the other side of town. I called and that's what they said." I'm way annoyed at this point, and just let them in. I cursed her with a yeast infection as she walked out the door.

Piss on free days.

In happier news, Jessica Crump came to visit me at work yesterday. We had sex. She has this quacktastick QUACKTASTICK purse that made me pee. "Syphilis is the enemy!!!!" It says that on it. It wants us to join the campaign against the syphilis. It's so fantastic.
I saw Chrissy and Stephy tonight, too. It was great fun. I hadn't hung out with either of them in a good long while. Stephy's hair is gonna lose it's virginity, Chrissy's hair is gonna have a threesome, and mine is up for some S&M.

=)

wha cha!

I FOUND GREEN CHUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Screw the purple ones, I'm gettin' these:




yay

Sean- I like your pictures. They make me giggle.


Today at work, I got my foot stuck in a crate. This hurt, so of course my first initial reaction was to yell "shit!" One of my bosses walked by the window just as I yelled it, so he came up to it and was like, "Did you say something to me?" and I was like, "no- I got my foot stuck in the crate, and I cussed. You heard me say 'shit!', Dave." I'm pretty sure he never cusses, so he didn't quite know what to say to that. He just said, "Oh." and walked away.

Jared Vogel came to the zoo today and needed four cents to ride the train. If I were anywhere near the free passes, I would have given him some, but instead I gave him a nickel. Dang, I'm charitable. I hope he kept the change...

Something weird- Dasani ran out of water. They couldn't ship us any because they ran out. Does that make sense at all?

Besides work, I haven't had any human contact since Saturday. Is this healthy?

I got a lot of film developed. I have a picture of Mike attempting to lick my beaver. I feel oh so dirty. Speaking of... I have a present for you, Mike, if I ever friggin' see you again. =)

I made a quiz. Aren't I cool??


Firecracker


Which Red Hot Valentines song are you?
brought to you by Quizilla


Take it and see if it works!

I went to a wedding with Zach today. The bride called me Kasey..............neat.
It's all good, though. It made me laugh a lot.


I was going to say something, but I forgot. I feel like I've just entered one of Zach's blogs.

I guess that's it, then?


Fish are friends, not food. =)

Currently, I don't feel well. I think it's the realization of being back home...or maybe it was something I ate? Whatever.

A day-by-day recap of the trip, this may be long- brace yourselves.


~Friday~
Zach picked me up at 11. My mom and sister were weird, but that's nothing new. Then we headed to Louisville, Kentucky to see Amy. Amy's directions were swell, but Louisville is not. That town dislikes us, so yeah- we got lost. Eventually we found her house, which is way cute (like her!), and then we made her drive to Covington, Kentucky where we saw Motion City Soundtrack, Denali, and The Weakerthans. All three bands were awesome. The lead singer of Denali, Maura Davis, is really hott and talented. I have a girly crush on her. She, Tina Fey, and Jessica Crump....oooh dang.

~Saturday~
We left Amy's, and got the freak out of Louisville. We love Amy, but we hate her town. I drove us through Ohio. I hate that state, and still say- don't go there. It's boring. We made it to Akron, and decided to quit. It's pretty close to Pennsylvania, and we had plenty of time to make it to Rhode Island (our main destination). The only problem was that we're under 21. Apparently people under 21 are hazardous to hotels and are not allowed in. We ended up staying at a place called Tallyho-tel after giving up a $50 deposit that we got back. Boo to hotels. At this point in the trip, I am still teething and the back of my mouth is so swollen that I can barely open it. I couldn't eat because it hurt too much.

~Sunday~
Zach drives us through Pennsylvania and New York. I heart Pennsylvania. I'm totally gonna move there and be an environmental biologist. A lot of environment is there for me to work with. I was never bored while going through that state. I always had something fun to look at- little waterfalls off of the mountains, mountain mists, trees trees trees... I LOVE Pennsylvania. We took a side trip to Claws 'n' Paws Animal Park in, I think, Indian Rock, Pennsylvania. They had big animals there. It wasn't what I expected. I thought that they'd have little rodents and stuff, but no- they had lions and giraffes and the like. It was fun! New York looked pretty much the same as Penn. We just drove through the nook between Pennsylvania and Connecticut. We crossed the Hudson River, though. Connecticut sucks. Me no likey. We were rejected by hotels so many times. We ended up staying at the Bethel Motor Inn. Let me tell you, I'm surprised we didn't get murdered. This place was icky. ICKY!!! Surprisingly, though, I slept the best there because it was all dark.

~Monday~
After taking a long shower to get rid of the ickyness, we headed towards Rhode Island. That took about two hours, and after being rejected another 20 times by hotels, we finally found the Motel 6 that they were trying to direct us to. I liked the accents around there. People sounded fun. After getting settled, we walked across the street to the movie theater to see Finding Nemo. It was soooooooo cute! I squealed...

~Tuesday~
We stayed another day in Rhode Island. Actually, we were in Massachusets. Seekonk, Massachusets. Whatever- it was the border. We took a little trip to the Roger William's Zoo in Providence. It was just as big as Scovill, but they had bigger animals. After the zoo, we roamed around Providence looking for the ferry or trolly....we couldn't find either. Zach got "shot" by a ghetto person. We ate at a McDonald's that had sweet 'n sour dispensers. I was excited about that. He also got me one of the Finding Nemo toys. =)

~Wednesday~
I drove and drove and drove. We went through 5 states in one day. That's pretty hardcore. Actually, six if you count Massachusetts, but I don't. We ended up back in Ohio at a Motel 6 where they only charged us for one person, which was nice. I don't much remember anything that happend this day due to the fact that I was exhausted.

~Thursday~
We drove through Ohio and Indiana- neither state is fun. They made me miss Pennsylvania. In fact, being home makes me miss Pennsylvania. I never realized how flat everything was around here until I could count the grain silos from miles away. Neat. ....and we're home.


So many funny things were said on the trip, but this is the only one I can remember at the moment:

Zach: I hate peanut M&M's.
Sandra: I know. I hate penis....*stops because she realizes she had pronounced peanut wrong*
Z: laughing Does this mean you're going to break up with me now??
S: No! I like penis! .........dangit.......
Z/S: [insert uncontrolable laughter here]

baBAM! That was long....

I'm back.


...that's all you get, for now.


=)
