Home has been splendid so far. I got to see my ChrissySuzieStephy when I first got home. I'm sooooo excited for next weekend! I'm giddygiddy! Zach and I have also had plenty of us time and we really needed it. Tonight I get to see my darling lover girl, Jessica Crump! We and the rest of the girlies, plus a rumoured Mike Hagan, are going to have our selves a time. Woot!


Yesterday I went to thrift stores to look for a loft bed. Water Street Mission has had some in the past, and they had one this time around, but it was for 76 bucks! That's not thrift store pricing, yo. Anyway, the point of my story is that while I was at the Salvation Army in Fairview Plaza, I found myself the best coat in the world. It caught my eye as I went to the back towards the furniture, then I took it off the hanger and tried it on. It's a smidge too big, but my roomate is in school for fashion design- maybe she can fix it. It's so Mary Tyler Moore-ish, and I love it. I got it for 3 bucks! I normally feel really bad about buying things from thrift stores because someone else could need it more, but screw the needy! This is a bitchin' coat.

Totally off topic here, but I decided that my biggest fears are having my achille's tendon cut and dying of blood loss. I say this because we were watching something and Pet Cemetary was mentioned, and it showed the part where the little kid cuts the guys achille's tendon, and I was disturbed by it for days. In fact, thinking about it now is upseting my tummy. The blood loss thing comes from watching The Rules of Attraction this week and a girl kills herself by slitting her wrists, and I just got so upset about it. I could feel myself get woozy and cold like when I donate blood. Don't know why I'm mentioning this. Just felt the need.

That is all. I'm going to go soak in our pimp hot tub, because we have one of those now. My mom has gone crazy.

It's time for a blog, I say.


Golly, the weather outside is afright. The wind is blowing so hard, it's moving a giant crane back and forth across the street. Which, by the way, is mystifying to us becase a) it's been there since the beginning of October and has done nothing but sit, and b) how the hell do you get a giant crane like that through the streets of Chicago? It's moving all crazy right now. I have this vision of it being blown over into the building it's in front of. That would be a tragic event.

I come home today. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, you know. I could care less about this holiday. But, I get to see mis amigos and get super fat, so I guess it's an ok time.

I have a story to tell you. Allison's brother came here on Monday. He's gay and fabulous and fun. We all enjoy him. They (Allison, Daniel-herbrother-, Matt, Ashley) all go to Boystown the night he got here. I didn't go because I just don't like going out. They get back around 2am and I'm still awake because I can't get to sleep. Ashley passes out in her bed, and the rest of us head up to Matt's apartment (he lives on 19) to watch Elf. Daniel has the most severe case of ADD I have ever seen. He's quite the burst of energy. I swear to you, the opening credits come up and Daniel is like, "Well, I'm tired. I'm gonna go down to sleep." even though it was his idea to watch the movie to begin with. Allison was like, "Ok, just DON'T lock the door. We don't have our keys." Allison and I stay to finish the movie, but around 4am we decide that we're too tired to finish it and head back downstairs. The door is locked. Daniel locked us out of our apartment. We bang on the door and yell for someone to wake up, but no one comes. So we trudge back up to Matt's, but he's asleep too, so we bang and bang and yell and bang 'til finally he yells, "WHAT?!?". So we get in there and use his phone to call Ashley, but she never answered. We were so tired and cranky that we just ended up sleeping at Matt's. He was the only one there because his roomate Vu (isn't that a fun name?) was gone. I ended up sleeping in Vu's room. He's a smelly Viatnamese fella, so I had some trouble getting to sleep, but I managed. Allison wakes me up around 9:30 to head back down to our apartment, which is now unlocked, and Daniel is all like, "What happened to you two?!? I was so worried!" Allison and I just grumbled at him and crash in our beds.

quite the adventure

Why does it seem that now that I'm going to move out, I seem to be more included in things? I still dislike Andrea, but things are better with everyone else. They don't know I'm moving out yet. I'm going to tell them when we get back from the break.

Dear Stephy- will you please fix my computer when you visit me? It's not well and you are brilliant. Plllleeeeaaaassseee???

Yesterday was the best day of my life. I did the most fantastic thing I have ever done. I still can't believe that I, pansyass Sandra did this, but I did, and I'm still thrilled about it.


So, you know I gave my two weeks notice at Old Navy, oh about two weeks ago, right? My initial two weeks said that I would work until the 18th, but then I changed it to the 20th because I noticed I was scheduled until then. So I went in yesterday, the 19th, to work from 1-10pm. I get there, and I am not on the master schedule my floor leaders/managers/bosses (I don't know what to call them, there's too many of them) use to decide where to put us. I was supposed to be a cashier all day, but since I wasn't on that schedule, that boss didn't have a register for me, so that meant that I was going to be squeezed in somewhere on the floor. I was put in "lounge" aka "pajama pants", by the way, which is the most congested area because it's basically a little hallway that leads from the dressing rooms to the registers. It also gets to be the messiest because people tend to dump there crap there going from one to the other. Ergo- not a good place to put me. I go there, and pissily start folding things, not greeting a single customer or asking them if they are finding everything ok. I was working hard and getting the stacks of "graphic tees" aka "shirts with stupid stuff on them" all in perfect order, when this one woman comes along and basically rips up what I had just done. That was that. I decided right then and there that I would leave as soon as they gave me my first fifteen.
3:15 rolls around and my manager Matt sees me and is like, "Oh! Sandra! I forgot you were here. I should probably write you down on the schedule so I don't forget your breaks. Would you like to take a 15 now?"

*celestial music in the background*

"Yes, Matt," I reply, "I would LOVE to take a fifteen right now." I finish up what I was doing, so as to look like I actually take an interest in the well being of Old Navy, and head downstairs to the break room. I sit down for a moment because I felt like I was going to wussy out, but I look at my purse in my locker and think, "if I don't do this now, I will be stuck here forever", so I grabbed my purse, clocked out, grabbed my paycheck, gave my nametag and walkie to the loss-prevention booth, told them I was leaving for my break, and out the door I went.

And that was that. I left without telling anyone important and am never going back. Let me tell you, I felt very liberated. I felt like I could do anything at the moment. It's a good thing Andrea wasn't home, because I probably would have ripped her hair out.

In other news, I am obsessed a little with The Cure. How I love them so. Why didn't anyone tell me to love them sooner? My two favorite songs are "Burn" and "The End of the World", which sadly, is on the Old Navy music that plays in the store. I didn't know it was The Cure though.
Speaking of Old Navy music, which is more sad- The Cure issue, or the fact that this really fabulous song comes on all the time, so I look it up when I get home and to find out with dismay that it is by Fountains of Wayne. It's called "Valley Winter Song" and it is splendid. I guess good songs can't choose their creaters. Kinda like how good kids can't choose their parents.

happydancing

Up and down, up and down. Is this how it's going to be until we graduate? I think that we've learned to lower our expectations a little and take things as they come. I know we'll make it though. We're tough cookies.


Today was a randomass day. First of all, today I was a cashier at Old Navy, and this girl I'm ringing up looks reaaaly familiar, but I'm not sure how and then she's like, "This is going to sound weird, but are you from Decatur?", so I said yeah, and then she was like, "Did you go to Richland...were you on the speech team??" So I was like, "Yeah! You look really familiar. What is your name?" "Sarah." and then it hit me- "Oh my gosh! You used to go out with Nick Stolle, right?!?" I don't know her last name, but yeah- I rang up Nick Stolle's ex-girlfriend at Old Navy this afternoon. We were both a little weirded out by the coincidence, and it was totally random that we would recognize each other considering we probably only saw each other maybe three times. We were the first Decatur people we had seen since we moved up here. I think we were both like, "damn that Decatur for haunting us." Not like we were mean to each other or anything, just in awe of the fact that it is indeed a small world.
Second of all, I left my phone at home while I was at work, which I never do, and so I get home and who left me a voicemail? MIKE HAGAN. He was calling to tell me that he and Sam and his friend Kevin were going to be in Chicago today. I screamed with giddiness, but then I looked at what time he called- 3:00...I got home around 6:30. My heart sank, but I quickly called him back to find out that they were 3 hours away. Boo. Boo. Boo. They "cruised Michigan", so I'm sure they went by Old Navy a few times and didn't realize it. That makes me sad. Mike Hagan and Sam Davis were in a car a few yards away from me and I didn't know. They should have asked where Old Navy was and I would have left work right then and there. I would have peed my pants to see Mike Hagan standing in line. I would have jumped over the counter, I'm sure. So yeah, we need to coincide random road trips, Señor Hagan.
Third of all, someone asked me if I was Spanish. Not if I spoke Spanish, but if I WAS Spanish. I said to her, "I'm Blexican, bitch. I would bust a cap in your ass, but I'm too lazy."

That was my day. Now let me tell you my news:

-Pizzeria Ora didn't end up hiring me because I couldn't work during Christmas, but didn't bother to call me to say, "Hey, we were just kidding about that hiring you thing...good luck with that"

-I'm still employed at Old Navy even though I told them I quit. I'm on next weeks schedule. What is that about?? I'm in a dilema, because I need a job, but I can't work when they want me to anymore. Things are getting better there since all I do is cashier. It was the monotonous folding of the T-shirts and fucking performance fleece (what the hell does that even mean?) that really got to me. Dealing with customers for about 2 minutes at a time is something I can handle. I feel like I'm getting things accomplished at Old Navy now. I am also a superstar Old Navy Card getter because they see the "save 10%" thing and ask me about it. I don't even have to tell customers or promote it. They are just like, "I wanna sign up". So yeah, working there has gotten easier, but I just can't work when they want me to. I think when I go in tomorrow, I'm going to be like, "Listen. Here's the deal. I want to stay here, but if I can't get these days off, I quit today." I probably won't because I'm a pansy, but I sort of have to. So, essentially, I will probably be unemployed as of Saturday. *sigh*

-I'm going to move to the apartments next door to me. It's a bitty little studio, but most of the residents there are students at various schools, and everyone was really friendly when I looked at it, so maybe I might meet someone I don't want to poke in the eye with an HB pencil. Also, I was thinking, maybe I would get along better with the girls if I didn't live with them, so we shall see. I'm moving there December 18th. Viva! My new address will be 1100 N. LaSalle Apt. 1110. Isn't that quaint?

Now let me tell you about my el experiences:

- I sat next to a man who was rolling joints...doobies...blunts...whatever the cool kids are calling them these days. Out in the open, right next to me. I text messeged (texted messages?) to a good deal of you because I was shocked and super amused.

- A man told me I have beautiful feet.
...thank you?

I change my worst feeling to this:


Waiting to hear something you used to hear so often, but it just never comes.


I'm not bitter. I'm not angry. I'm not hurt.
Just sad.

Change sucks, but as the saying goes- that which does not kill us makes us stronger.
Don't think I want to be that strong though.

Because I'm uninteresting and a wee bit depressed. Blame this on Ben:

ATTENTION D-TOWN IN CHI-TOWN EXTRAVAGANZA GOERS:

Andrea has an issue with four of my friends coming at the same time. She "might not be able to go home that weekend". She started a little roomate meeting about it and everything. I understand that our apartment will be a little cramped, but that'll make it that much more fun, and if she even had a smidge of interest in getting to know my friends, she'd see that. I mean, the week before y'all are visiting Allison's family will be here, and not just for the weekend either- her brother is going to be here Monday and then her mom and dad will be here Tuesday. Just deal with it is all I have to say.
To be considerate (ha), I even looked up hotel prices, but the cheepest I could find would cost all of us $50 a night, and that's not necessary. Ergo- you can sleep on our couches, girlies, and be as obnoxious as you can be. =) That's what we do best.

Also, my loves, how are you getting here? If you are taking the train you need to get your asses on it. If you are driving, let everyone know where to meet and such. I know I sound like a mother, but I know how we all plan. Also, bring a little extra money to ride the el and buses and such. It's $1.75 a ride, which can add up, but it's always cheeper than a taxi.

Just thought I'd let you know what you could possibly be getting yourselves into. Oy vey.

Allison and I are going to do the volunteer thing in a little bit. I'm excited!!!

A good chunk of you were correct. She is the one on the left. She just looks like I should hate her, doesn't she?? Ashley is the one in the middle and Allison is the one on the right. They look totally likeable.

I am way missing my girls. I read Suzie's blog and have flashbacks of the best times ever. I need a little time with some tang that I can relate to and can relate with me. I miss laughing for hours and hours for no reason. I miss laughing until my cheeks and tummy hurt. I hate having to fake enthusiasm as I'm finding that I do a lot lately. I think the novelty of new fun roomates is starting to wear off. They're fun, but not my kind of fun, you know? It's kind of exhausting to keep up with. Not them, personally, but the whole situation.

I've noticed something. I have a magical power. I can be invisible without even trying. I'm easy to ignore.

Ok, as far as the exhausting thing goes, if I have to listen to another crappy r&b mix CD, I will shoot myself. Right in the throat. With a paint gun. Twice.

I had an encounter with three drag queens last night. One was wearing a tiara. They were fabulous...and high. They made me giggle all over myself.

iheartchicago.

These are the roomates. Take a guess as to which one is Andrea. I'll let you know if you're right. Click on it to make it bigger.

One good thing will come of these elections: this is the last time Bush will be president.

Who wants to move to Europe for the next four years??

In the mean time, I say we start a campaign for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for 2008.


Clinton/Obama 2008: "We're gonna rock this bitch"


Guess what lovies. I have a new job. I'm going to be either a waitress or a hostess, or all of the above. It's at a restaurant called Pizzeria Ora and it's just down the street. It's a block away from Ed Debevek's (I applied there too, by the way), so if you know where that is then you know where the pizza place is. I applied there yesterday and as soon as I handed it in the guy was like, "When can you start?" So I told him that I still had a job at Old Navy and wasn't sure and he was like, "Can you work here and there?". So I went in today to give him my availability and he was like, "You got the job, by the way." I didn't even have to have an interview. Easiest job I've ever gotten. I don't even know how much I'm gonna get paid. I just know it's not Old Navy. He has to call me to let me know when I start. I just hope he doesn't forget.

Good bye Old Navy. Large coorporate retail can eat my asshole.

Allison and I are also going to volunteer at The Anti-Cruelty Society down the street. It's a homeless shelter for cats and dogs. We're gonna be dog socializers and play with puppies all day! Yayayay!

You are soooo jealous right now.

I think that's all I have for now except that we need to have a moment of silence for the decapitation of two flamingoes and Quincy the pelican at Scovill Zoo the other night.


....silence....

...now outrage... Who freaking does that?!? What a bunch of sickos! Guh!


30 days until the D-town in Chi-town extravaganza!!!

Viva!

It's November.

I just saw SAW. It's horrifying. I hid behind my jacket for about 75% of it. The other 25% was seen between the cracks of my hands. It's the most fucked up movie I have seen in ages. AGES. My only complaint is that the lead guy was the lead guy in a princess bride and he was such a lame actor. The acting could have been better, but I think that's what helped it too. The audience I was with was in hysterics. They yelled "Kill the MOTHERFUCKER!!!" often, and at one crucial part of the movie 'til about the end it was anarchy. I thoughroughly (sp?) enjoyed myself. Plus, I went to a movie theatre that only charged me $5.50. That's a freaking deal in Chicago. Eff you $9.50 theatres.
I went with Allison, Ashley, and Matt and Ashley was the only one besides me who liked it. I've read critiques on it too and it "doesn't deliver". I think it's just cool to dislike a good movie. I will call a crappy movie when I see it, and this one isn't.

This just in:

EmuHunter82: so, when you were home for batz, and went and saw the movie and stuff, after i dropped you off, i didn't give you a hug or say bye or anything, cuz i totally was thinking nothing was different and you still lived in town, i realized it on the way home, i was miserable, i was like, i didn't even get a hug and i don't know when i'll see her next
EmuHunter82: and, i have a stain on my khaki's that will always remind me of you
pinkandorangefun: awww
pinkandorangefun: i just teared up a bit
EmuHunter82: :-D
pinkandorangefun: jerkface :-)

I miss me some Mike Hagan.

Andrea strikes again, only in a much more tacky way. She brought a guy home at 4:30 in the morning. They were loud and drunk and smelly. She did this while my MOTHER was visiting. How tacky is that? They didn't do anything but sleep in the same bed, but still. I'm surprised my mother didn't have a heart attack. I just hate how fake she is. I hate how pleasant she acts about everything. If you're going to be a bitch, just be a bitch. I hate her voice, I hate her snobiness. She totally snubbed my mom and sister this weekend. The other girls chatted with them, but Andrea just smiled at them once and stayed in the room. I didn't expect her to be BFF, but for the love of Pete, at least PRETEND to have some manners. She irritates the fuck out of me. If I could move out right now, I would. Mom and Tammy didn't like her at all. Maybe she's shy or something, but I don't think so. I'm shy. I know how it works. She's not shy in an awkward, I don't know what to say, way. She's shy in a I've got more important things to do than get to know you way. Like file my nails or talk on the phone for hours and hours. It's a good thing we don't have a phone line here, because that girl could do some damage.

Our room smelled like gross, so I sprayed air freshener everywhere and on her toothbrush. I hope she gets poisoned. I've cursed her with so many things, but she's immune. Ooooh, I've got a good one(s)! I curse her with poor immunity, a yeast infection, spinal meningitis, and a learning disability.

Which is worse? Living with someone you have nothing in common with or living with someone you hate? Does one lead to the other?

I can't imagine she likes me either. She must have a list of reasons. As much as I like the other two, Andrea makes me want to move out right now. I'd rather live alone in the ghetto than with that bitch.

I'm a wee bit miserable, can you tell? Not only because of Andrea, but because of Old Navy as well. It's freaking Big Brother city there and I hate it. I understand cameras to keep shoplifting down, but do you really need to monitor the employees as well to make sure they are promoting a fucking credit card? My floor leader came over to me a million times the other night and was like, "you need to do this...this...this...this". I fucking am! Back the fuck off! Also, this one guy pissed me off to no end. I was on the elevator with some rolling racks and I got caught on the door and he said, "Ooooh my! A newbie!". I understand I'm new, but anyone could get it caught. Instead of helping me, he just watched me struggle with it. I wanted to punch him so hard. I wanted to shove that rolling rack right up his ass. Old Navy makes me so grumpy. Our hours also extend to ten starting Saturday, so I will have to stay until eleven. That's so fucking ridiculous. I hate retail. I'm pretty sure I would have hated Barnes & Noble as well because I'd have to dress up and that would have made me cranky. I need a change of pace. I'm getting applications everywhere...too bad not everyone is hiring this time around. Bah! I'm going to talk to someone at Old Navy to see about coming home for Thanksgiving. If they tell me no, I'm going to quit. I'll be poor, but I'm used to it.

My dear mother and sister irritated me to no end as well, but I am tired and that will be left for the next blog. To quote the Killowatts: "If I never ever see them again...it'll be way too soon."

I hope this week is a good week.

*sigh*
