I work too much. I know I complain about it, and should do something about it, but I am a slave to the man. The man is bringing me down. Wednesday night I fell asleep at 10 and slept until 10 the next day, Thursday I fell asleep at about the same time, but had to wake up and work 9-9:30 Friday, where I went over to Zach's, then took care of Gep and Amy's dogs (one of which is sooooo cuuuute- more later), then came home and fell asleep at 11 or so, and then had to wake up to work 8-4:30 Saturday. I came home after that and napped until about 7, then I went grocery shopping for the first time in over a month (my mother and I aren't home much), then went over to Zach's, took care of Gep and Amy's dogs again, and then I slept and slept and slept. Sunday was just as repetitious as the rest of the days, minus the grocery shopping. Today I worked until 4, and soon I will get to see my little sister Heidi! She's not really my sister, she just plays one on TV. She moved to Indiana a few years ago, and we just get to see her on random visits. Short and sweet ones- just like her! I say she's my sister because we are both short and have clammy hands and have big boobs. =) Yay for Heidi!!

I have to rant about Suncoast right now because that's what I do best. First of all- Paul Jackson, we're all familiar with my infamous hatered for him. Well, we have this policy at work where if we need a day off, it's a first come first serve basis. That's all well and good, except for the fact Paul asked off for most of May. He's hit June pretty hard as well. It's bad enough that he's asked for all of these days off, but what's worse is when he can't even work the days he is scheduled. He called me one night and asked if I could work on Saturday. I told him, "No. Fuck off, Paul Jackson." Ok, that's what I wish I said, but I told him no none the less. So THEN- this is the kicker right here kiddos- he comes into the ZOO on a day he asked off with his ugly girlfriend (girl was albino and icky) and has the nerve to ask if I could work Friday. IF YOU ARE TOO BUSY TO WORK A JOB, THEN YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE A JOB!!!!!!! I'm a sucker and I said yes. I almost yelled at him and called him a fucker, but I didn't. I should have said I could work both days because he had asked off for the entire week last week, and that would have been two weeks full that he hadn't worked, and that is subject to termination. Ass coulda been fired, even though he wouldn't have. Here's what else is grand- he didn't tell anyone that I was working for him. He didn't call or anything. I told Jacob on Wednesday, and he told Sheila. I called on Friday to make sure they knew. That's just irresponsible. Grrrr to kids these days!!! (I'm old- piss off.)
Second of all- Shanna Somethingorother. A new girl that they hired. She worked over Christmas, but they didn't hire her back until recently. Frankly, they should have thought about that. The girl has also asked off for a billion days, and every weekend it seems as though she's scrambling for people to cover her shift. Yesterday she didn't show up to the meeting, and today she didn't show up at all. Luckily I was at the zoo today because they called me to see if I could come in. Argh!!
I joked with Jacob that they should hire someone else to ask off for a million days. Maybe then it'll all even out.

I needed to get that off my chest. I know they are young and all (16 and 17), but I never remember being that irresponsible with a job when I was their age. Anyway, age is not an excuse. They need their asses fired, and then they need to hire older people who have had jobs before and know how they work.

Harumph!

Anyway- happy thing. Gep and Amy have a Shi Tzu named Sammy, and he's sooooo cuuuuute. I wanted to steal him and keep him for myself. He's a wiggler, and I likes me some wiggles. Awwww.

It's sad that my happy sentences are much shorter than my angry ones. I need a vacation.

The hair drama is over. I am one hot lesbian!


Friday night Stephy, Chrissy, and I went to see Mean Girls. It was quite hilarious. I love love love Tina Fey. She's so damned great!

Saturday I got to work somewhere other than the gift shop at the zoo. I was elated. My sister and her fella came to visit me. I don't quite know how I feel about Joe. In my eyes, he wasn't all that attractive, but then again- look at Zach- I like skinny/messy boys with cute hair. He was none of the above. He also seemed really nerdy, but I'm thinking that's just because he was nervous about meeting me. He's really nice though, and my sister likes him, so he's A-OK with me. He really needs to work on that last name though. Joe Ell. We'll call him Joel...Jesus if you're nasty. I guess they met up with my mom later that night and I haven't heard anything about it since then. I hope it went ok.

Yesterday was St. Louis zoo day!!! Zach and I went with Mindy, Ben, Renee, Thomas (Renee's friend), and Matt (Mindy's brother). Mindy had set it up for us to go behind the scenes everywhere, and so we did. We went behind with the big cats and saw a cuuuute female tiger who chuffled at us. We also got to go behind the scenes with the bears where "very few people get to go". It was all crazy because a polar bear was to our left and a grizzly bear was to our right- at the same time! We also got to see a red panda that wasn't out for exhibit because they didn't quite have room for her yet. It was a really fun day and I'm glad we got to go. =) It was funny because Mindy told the keepers that every one of us were zoo keepers at Scovill and were studying to become keepers at bigger zoos. Luckily Ben and Mindy talked enough so I think we had them fooled. Mindy's brother made dumb comments now and then, but it's alright. We still got to do it. When we had a break, we went to see their new penguin and puffin exhibit where I got splashed by an silly penguin. Good times!

When Zach and I got back home, it was 7 o'clock pm. We fell asleep and didn't wake up until 3 am when I left for home. I then slept until 10 am this morning. That's nearly 13 hours of sleep! Huzzah!!! Yay for not having to be at work until 6 at night!

I look like a middle-aged lesbian...or a creepy little boy. Either way, my hair needs to grow into itself. I'm sure it's cute in some cultures but I don't like it for now. I'm probably over-dramatizing the haircut like I did last time.

...an excerpt from the last hair cut:

"I have boy hair. It's REALLY short, and I don't much care for it. In fact, I think Jared Vogel and I have the same haircut. It looks hot on Jared, because a) it's Jared- he's hot, and b) he's a boy!! If I don't look like a boy, I look like a lesbian. I'm not that girly, but really- I'm a lot girlier than that. I want to have "cute girl" hair, not "I like cute girls" hair. It'll get better as it grows out, I'm sure. This is why I stopped going to hair dressers and just cut it myself. I feel all high maintenance too. I feel like I need to wear makeup and girly clothes to overcompensate for the boy hair. Too bad that'll make me look like a drag queen. Poo."

Only this time I'm pretty sure Jared's hair is longer than mine. Yikes.

I wrote that a few days ago and saved it as a draft. My hair has gotten many-a-complement since then. I think it's because I put a little headband type wrap thing around my head and look all mod. If I didn't have that- trust me- middle aged lesbian. Even Jacob Smith told me it was cute. It was more of a "cuuuuuutttteee", but cute non the less.

Let's see, my last blog was Sunday so since then I have:

Monday- cut my hair off, lesbian style. Hung out with Zach's brother Luke, and Gep. We played card games and such.

Tuesday- worked forever and ever. Ben came to visit Seymore (our new camel), and then taught me how to play Spit (a card game). I decided that I miss Ben visiting me in the gift shop for all day long. He makes me giggle a lot. I then went to Zach's where he and I played Spit, and then went to the good ol' S&S to see my Chrissy and Stephy.

Wednesday- worked forever and ever. I volunteered myself to come in to the zoo early because pregnant Renee was by herself in the gift shop. It was a good thing too because it's is tour season. I HATE TOUR SEASON!!!! Teachers are the worst kind of people during this time. They aren't happy and agreeable at all. They are more of "you wanna fight, bitch? Bring it!" And we do bring it. We bring it good. After work she and I went to Wal-Mart to buy her boyfriend/babydaddy birthday presents. She forgot something while we were in line, so she left me to fend for my self while two old men (one of whom is a Suncoast regular who recognized me) proceeded to talk to me entirely too much. I then went off to Suncoast to work with my dearest manager Jacob Smith. He's my favourite. I think that we would chit-chat all day long if we could. We would laugh and make fun of people. Everyone needs to have a manager who is their age and fun. Oh my goodness! I almost forgot about my chicky-babies. I'm adopting chicks. They were left in the gift shop that day, and I fell in love. One is grey and his name is Gus, and the other is yellow and brown and his name is NutterButter. If I don't save them, they are going to be snake food! I don't know if his parents know yet, but they are going to live in Zach's back yard. Yay for my chicky-babies! After Suncoast, I hung out again with Zach, Gep, and Luke. They taught me how to play Tiger Woods Golf (playstation game). I caught on ok and I made a hole in one that won me $100,000. Bitches!

Thursday- I had to be at the zoo at 8 in the am. That's sooo early! The day made to be a hectic one filled with bitchy teachers. That and I was all alone until Mindy came to save me around 2. Zach came to have lunch with me and I showed him our chicky-babies. He agreed that they were way cute. After the zoo, Zach, Gep, Amy, and myself went to a Japanese restaurant in Bloomington. It was fun and yummy! We then went to Borders and drooled over all the books and CDs we couldn't have. I did buy Zach a samurai book. He's going to kill you with a tape dispenser, and don't think he won't!

Today is Friday and so far I haven't done anything but sleep and blog. Oh happy day! I have to work at one, and guess what- that's still two hours away! Huzzah!! Time for a power nap, y'all.

"Hello my treacherous friends. Thank you for joining me here tonight. I brought you all here to discuss, as I must, how grateful I am for your insights..."


That song is in my head. It is called "Hello, My Treacherous Friends" by OKGO. You should check it out. It's a goody.



Jared Vogel's birthday was May 10th. I'm a terrible friend because I forgot about it. I did wish him a happy one the day after, but one day later just isn't good enough. It never is! I'm just never good enough for anyone anymore! I can't take it! I can't take IT!!! You don't know me...the real me!! You all can burn in hell- every hour on the hour!!! Dramatic gasp!


*end scene*


Jessica Crump and I had a date. A sexy date. We went to Taco Bell and then Olga's House of Stuff. We were trailed by an OHOS male employee who managed to feel on Jessica's booty. I managed to feel on more than that. Ooooooh. We then went to the lake and talked about things. Sexy things. Rowr.

I'm going to get my hair cut tomorrow. How's it going to look you ask? Well if you take a looksy at the Herbal Essence hair dye "Crushed Pearl", my hair is going to look like the girl on the package. Like this even:
Only my hair will not be that color. It will be every other color in the rainbow spectrum. "Crushed Gemstone", yes "Crushed Pearl", no.



"Someday you'll miss me. Mundane Sundays when I'm gone."


...another OKGO song in my head. This time it's "C-C-C-Cinnamon Lips". Oh!

How are things? Do we all like this better? I do anyway. The comments are there, they are just being sneaky. Search for them.

Jessica Crump and I have a date today. We are going to molest each other for hours and hours. It's going to be great fun!

Last night after work I went over to Zach's and Gep and Amy were there. We played games and such. It was a lot of fun. People should get together more often and play board and card games.

I'm so uninteresting it hurts.

Dear Chrissy and Suzie-

We (Mindy, Renee, Ben, me, anyone else) are leaving at 7am on May 23rd. If you are still interested, give me a ringy-dingy.

Love Sandra.

PS. You're both hot ladies. Woot!

Blogger is new and fancy with lots of changes. I don't know if I can handle it! With a little tinkering I will have the ultimate blog. So far, I know I know, it's hideous. Things will work out, kids. Things will work out.

I have the allergies. I also have drugs to remedy the allergies. The drugs make me tired and loopy, but at least I can breathe. All is fair in love and drugs...or something to that effect.

I have the saddest news in the world. It's more sad than Denali breaking up. My darling little Geo Metro is dying. The poor dear has trouble starting, and sometimes just gives up when we are on the highway. I don't know what I'll do if she is unfixable. I'll cry for days and days. I won't be able to give her up. She will stay on some cinder blocks on our front lawn. I AM from Macon after all...

*moment of silence for the possibility of my car's death*


Jack Mickler and Steven Keith came into Suncoast the other night. Jack was like, "hey, how's it going?!" and Steven was like, "___". So, yeah- now that I've blogged about some Meridian people, I wonder if they'll find out about it and comment in two months.

I'm waiting with serious anticipation. Serious.

Mike Hagan and Brian Marley don't exist anymore. I miss them. If they don't come around sometime soon I will most definitely curse them with jock itch like you wouldn't believe.

Speaking of jock itch, my feet keep itching and instead of saying "I have athlete's foot" I continually say "I have jock itch". It reminds me of the time when I got hit in the chest and instead of saying "Ow! My sternum!" I said "Ow! My scrotum!" I don't think I have athlete's foot, but you know me- I'm a drama queen. My pancreas has ruptured at least 50 times in the past 6 years.

I'm off like my bra on a date with Jessica (it doesn't take me 3 minutes, baby). Wootcha!

Saturday night I went to a rock show. Let me tell you about it-


The first band on the evening may as well have been a theater production. I will call it "InterpretivegothmetaldanceinthenameofJesus" rock. It was the most bizarre thing I have ever seen. Ever. They had masks and cloaks and coffins and glitter. The best part was the dude playing the trash can. It made me think of the song from Doug


...bangin' on a trash can, drummin' on a street LIGHT...



Ooooh, look what I found while looking for the lyrics to that song:

Pete_and_Pete
Pete & Pete. So, your younger brother has a tattoo
and you don't, what could be worse? At lease
your names aren't Eugene.


What's Your 90's Nickelodeon Show?
brought to you by Quizilla


I will admit that I cheated to get that one. I was orginally Clarissa Explains it All- a show that was just as good, but not the same as The Adventures of Pete and Pete.

Anyway- ADD much?

So after that band was done, Adam from The Infinity Room (inner swoon) invited us to go to the china place across the street from Wake the Dead. Zach, who secretly wants to hump Adam (but so do I), jumped at the chance. So we did. We hung out and he thought we were still in high school. It's cool though. We hung out with The Infinity Room. Word.

That's my story.

Chrissy surprised me at Suncoast on Sunday. We hugged and squealed. Good times. Katrina came in shortly after Chrissy left and I giddied right on myself. I just turned giddy into a verb, how 'bout that. Two girlies in one day! Lucky me! After that I went to Zach's for his family birthday extravaganza. It was fun because we played Mille Bournes (I probably jacked that up), and my team whooped Zach's. Then Jared came over when we were about to play Cranium and he and I ended up together as a team. We whooped Zach's team again. Booyah! I know it was Zach's birthday and all, but he was talking some smack and he just needed to be put in his place...but he's cuuuuuuute, so I'll let him win at other things.

[instert dirty innuendo here]

I helped Jared start a zoo and fell asleep before I could see what the finished project looked like.


"...I think I would freak right out. Then orgasm six times in a row. For six days straight..."

Dear Aaron Stanley,

Saved by the Bell seasons 3 and 4 came out on DVD the other day. This includes footage from the pop sensation Zack Attack. Just thought you'd be interested.

Love Sandra Goaley.


Denali broke up. This is sad news. Now I have to go far distances to stalk Maura Davis. She's so damn hott.

I took some pictures for Zach and Jared's band, Electric Automatic, for their cover art and they looked pretty fantastic if I do say so myself. I didn't put them all together for the actual cover, but I took 'em. I took 'em good.

My sister is "dating" another fella. His name is Joe and he lives in Indiana. I approve so far, except for the fact that his last name is Ell. I think that his ancestors ran out of ideas.

Joe is a pretty popular name....eh Chrissy? Eh? I kid, I kid. Happy Chrissy = happy Sandra. I love it when my friends are happy!

Mr. Rocha is back and let me tell ya- I'm elated.

Having two jobs is killing my blog time to zero. I go to school...work at the zoo...work at Suncoast. In that order. Every day. I need human contact! I need normal people!

Oh guess what- I work with a woman named Gertrude. That right there sums up the ages of the people Mike hired this year. GERTRUDE.

I move in exactly four months from today. I'm getting nervous. I'm gonna be homesick, and I know it. Dangit. I'm also going to miss boys. Let's think about what kind of school I'm going to- interior design. I hope I make friends with lots of gay guys.
