P.O.T.C. and other S.T.U.F.F.

So yep, I watched Pirates of the Caribbean again :) I've been wanting to watch it again for awhile now, I haven't watched it straight through since it was in theaters, and i've only watched part of it since we bought the DVD. shame on me, i know. It was just never the right time, I wasn't in a watch-a-movie-i-know-i'll love mood. But tonight since the only thing on was the Academy Awards or whatever they're called, I watched POTC. Awww. I had forgotten how much I loved that movie. It's great.

and i did something else that made me happy. talked to someone i should say. :)

and after working a 6 hour day I am extremly happy to report that tomorrow marks the first day of three days off. yay!

The second after I post this I'm going to check if my link shows on the blogger page of updated blogs. I wonder. I'll let you know in an update in a minute... *update* nope, doesn't show. good :)

for those who want to know...

my dad's trial was pushed off for 2 more months. which will land him in jail in the peak of his selling season. which sucks. apparently the prosecution claims to not know about my dad's past, and because of it he says the tentative 30 day agreement they had reached is not going to work. so it's back to having 2 years hang over our heads...



I linked chris over there ---> so go to his site!

:)

All is right with the world. ok, so maybe not all. My dad still gets to find out on tuesday for how long/if he goes to jail (sentencing i guess you'd call it). my car still can't go more than like 10miles at a time without overheating...

BUT

I don't work today. it's beee-au-ti-fully sunny outside. and my friend is back online.

so for now at least, i'm pretending that all is right with the world. now, nobody tell me otherwise, let me be ignorant, please.

so you want an update?

...still working on chemistry, though a different set of assignments. i didn't get the last ones done because i need extra help with it. grr. stupid stoiochemistry or whatever the hedgehog it is.
...i came online with the intention to just check my email for the much-anticipated college question response, and instead signed onto Y!IM and then checked my email, and then my blog, and then some other blogs...and then decided to post an update... that was 15mins ago. oops. bad heather *smack*

hey ris do you have a website? A yahoo/aol account? I'd like to talk to ya outside of the comments on my blog... i don't even know if you're male/female/ old/young /etc! it feels weird to not know. lol so let me know, please.

and now i'm enjoying the last bit of my day off before work tomorrow (at noon! ick!), and then after that i have another day off, then 3 days of 5 hour shifts... ick. I had 25 hours this week instead of 20.... which i said about already, i know. And yesterday I was supposed to only have 4, but we were super uber busy and so the manager asked me to stay an extra hour so I did.... so that's 26 (i miscalculated last post) this week... ick ick ick.

back to chemistry... erm, i mean, starting chemistry. and then my essay. yea. but I did fill out 3 college applications today! Got them all ready to go, I only have to wait to get one question answered for one of them. But the rest are ready to go. That's $100 down the drain. grrr. stupid expensive applications.

soooo tired

yes, i am tired. very tired. soooo tired. i just spent the past hour and a half working on 5 (FIVE) chemistry problems. And 2 of them I ended up putting "I cannot figure out the answer to this..." so that TEST is going to have a horrible grade. and before that I was at work, where I had a rotten day because we were super busy, not the fun kind of busy, but the 'you're not really busy until something goes wrong with someone's check/credit card and then your line gets held up while you're trying to fix it and you slam your thumb in the register drawer when you stupidly slammed it shut with your hip' type of busy. and my schedule for next week STINKS. 26 hours, even though I'm only supposed to have 20 or LESS. And most of those are day shifts, 12-5 or 11-6, when I'm used to and like night shift better. And so I'm going to go on those days and be stuck stocking shelves or putting away hangers or something tedious and boring and yet 'oh so important' according to the managers. who needs stuff on the shelves anyway? the customers just throw it all on the floor and uproot all the nice orderly rows and never bother to fix them anyway.

and so yes, i'm tired, and i'm seriously bummed over my schedule for next week. :'(

and for those curious, my grades for last quarter were: *drumroll*

anthropology= A
Career Planning= A
Chemistry= B
Geometry= D (yikes! but i expected it. actually I expected an F lol)
Psychology= A
World Literature= A



And Roscoe why on earth do I crack you up so much? :p and hey! you didn't do your assignment-- you only commented on one post. A big fat F goes on your report card! :p

your assignment is to....

read and comment on all the posts I did today. lol.

note to self: stock pens on nightstand

The other night I was on the computer trying to come up with more words to meet my 1000-2000 word requirement for an essay thing i have to write. I have to host a mock trial for a charachter in a book I just read, and be either prosecuting or defense attorney, decide the charges, and persue them. Anyway, part of the thing is I have to have witnesses (people from the books) and interview them, proving the innocence or guilt of the main charachter. So I'm writing, I come up with 3 credible witnesses... type type type.... done. 430 words..... what??? that's not enough. grr. i give up and go to bed, thinking maybe tomorrow it'll work better.

so I'm in bed, and I keep turning over the essay in my head. and that's when it occurs to me.... have the main character on the stand telling about it! duh! so I happen to spot my notebook laying on the dresser, and after searching for 10mins for a pen I find one, and write and write and write...... 300 words! woohoo. not done but getting there. woohoo.

have a nice day...

as most of you know, i am a cashier at a department store. i am generally a happy cashier, and also polite, saying please and 'thanks very much' when appropriate. I also sometimes elect to say "have a nice night/day" to certain customers when I feel like it. I only say it when I mean it, and truly wish that customer a good day. Therefore, I am crushed when people throw off a just-to-be-polite-and-return-the-nicety 'you too'. I mean, come on it's so obvious you don't really wish me a nice day, you wouldn't care if I went out and got lost except for that would mean you'd have to wait longer for someone to ring out your purchases. if I say 'have a nice day' and really mean it, why can't you? Is it too much to ask that you wish someone a nice day?

but you know what's better? when the people don't say anything in return. granted, some of the older people may not have heard me, but i know for a fact others did. And they don't say anything. But I prefer that to a fake have a nice day. At least those people are honest.

Moral of the story: heather doesn't wish everyone a good day, so when she wishes one to you you should be nice and actually mean it when you wish her one back! grr.

you don't always get what you want...

and i really really realllllllllllly want celery.

presenting....

my new baby!!!!!!!!!!!!

hehe. it's absolutely adorable. and it doesn't even look all that amazing/adorable until it lights up. as soon as you touch a button.... white lights stream from the side of it and from the keys (if you go to the larger pic, you can see the numbers, well when you press them white light comes out not just normal solid buttons/numbers).... i love it :) and it only cost like $20 after instant rebates

on a side note, my mom got this one. in my opinion, it's not near as cute as mine.

note: none of these phones were purchased through amazon.com, i just used it for reference.

:''''( and :)

i want my wobbie back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think i'm getting a cell phone tomorrow. i have to get one, because when i'm at work until 10pm there's no payphones so if my car breaks down or something i'm... well, in heaps o' trouble. Plus something in my car's engine is tapping (i forget what at the moment), which means the motor is going to go, which means i'd better have a phone handy to call for help when i need it. plus it's just a good safety precaution for me to have a phone. and it'll be useful, for going on errands and calling home and whatnot. i don't need a huge amount of minutes, my parents had a plan with 250 and unlimited night/weekend and they never used up all their minutes, and i doubt i'll even use close to that so... the minimum should be good. I tried to get a cell phone the other night but because i have absolutly no credit established (i just turned 18 for goodness sake, course i don't have credit!) they wouldn't give me a phone unless I put down an $800 deposit (which they would then hold for a year)!!! Yea right! So, my mom is going to get a family plan and give me one of the phones for that. So then I'll have the cell phone, and just pay the difference between what her old normal plan cost and what the new add-a-line-family-plan costs. So, i'm getting a cell phone :)

i really miss my wobbie :( he has suddenly disappeared. it's been a week. but i still miss my wobbie :( i'm all sad now. :( wobbie if you're reading this and just not talking to me for some unknown to me reason... you're a big meanie! (i can say that, knowing that's not the case. hehe)
