Balancing on the Edge of Insanity

Dream Jobs

Have I ever told any of you that my dream job... well my second dream job... has been (since i was about 9) to work in a theater?

I'm getting my dream job.  Of course it's just a part-time second job.  And it's minimum wage.  That's not what's important here.  What's important is that I'll get to see free movies.  I'll get to watch them before they actually "hit the theaters."  I get to bring as many people as I want to the non-sold out shows.  And I get all the free drinks and popcorn I want.  What more could I ask for?!

I'm so excited that I'm telling everyone how great it's going to be.  I'll probably be working concessions and clean-up, but I love concessions.  You meet all sorts of different kinds of people.  And I've done it before... so... no biggie!

Cruelty of my Mind

Thinking over a conversation I had when I was in 8th grade, I realize that I'm a very cruel person.  While I was in 8th grade we had just bombed some city because we were angry with them or something.  I don't know the real reason and I didn't really care.  It wasn't my problem.  I was only a measly 13 year-old in 8th grade and figured the world could survive without me knowing exactly what was going on.

Anyhow we'd had a bomb threat at our school (made by the older brother of one of the students) and everyone was forced to sit outside until the bomb sniffing dogs could be brought in.  We sat out there for three hours.  Plenty of time to get into multiple conversations about school, other kids, what clothes were in, and... politics.

Favorites Time

Figured it was time to update my favorites list from April of last year.... it's been almost 8 months after all.

Later... I'll tell you about getting yet ANOTHER new job at my work.

Medicating the Masses

I got a question today from moodymom about me being on medications.  Which made me decide to tell all of you about me and medications.

In response? No, I'm not currently on any medications.  That doesn't mean I haven't tried them.  I've had Paxil, Prozac, Zoloft, Welbutrin, Depakote and others that I've had but can't remember the name of.

Sleep Depravation Highs

So I've noticed that occasionally I'll get a "sleep depravation" high.  This isn't a normal thing for me.  Normally, when I'm tired I'll fall asleep.  Or get so cranky that people wish to shoot me and put themselves out of the misery of my company.

However, there are days when I've had under four hours of sleep in a 40 hour time span and instead of doing either of those two things I go haywire.  I get jittery, silly, and over imaginative.

The jittery and silly I can handle.  It annoys me, but I can handle it.  it's the over imaginative that drives me up a wall.

Scared Little Bunny

Gah!!!  I just set up payment arrangements with a consumer!!!!!!

To you this may not be a big deal.  But it's the first time I've EVER SUCCESSFULLY accoplished such a task.  Seriously.  It is.

And boy was it nerve wracking.  I was trying not to shake out of my skin while setting it up.  I think that if the guy had yelled at me I would have cried.  Thankfully he only raised his voice a little bit at the beginning of my attempts.

Man if I'm like this after every single one of these... I'm never going to make it as a collector.  But that's okay.  I only have to do this for three months and then I can go back to skiptracing.  Lovely skiptracing.  I never truely appreciated skiptracing before this point.  Now I will never say another bad word about it.  Or at least I'll refrain from the really bad ones.

Snow Ice Cream and I'm a Superhero

This looked like an interesting recipie.  Snow Ice Cream.... hmmm... might have to try it some time.  Goddess knows it snows enough in Utah.

Also found this while wandering BE: Always did like him.... he just seemed so.... yummy with that accent and all.

Procrastination @ It's Best

I am a procrastinator.  I will admit it.  I'll just wait until the last minute to admit it.

It's 6 days before Christmas and I still haven't figured out what to get Mr Q's brother for this blasted holiday.  I know he's getting one of the pictures of Mr Q and I, but nearly everyone else is getting something else as well.

Oh crap!  I just remembered that I haven't gotten anything for Mr Q's step-dad either.  Damn, damn, damn.  I'm down to $10 to my name and still have two people to get presents for... not to mention finishing up the baskets and pictures.

Sometimes I wonder why I procrastinate.  Maybe I like the feeling of being rushed and stressed out at the same time... or maybe I'm just crazy and expect things to do themselves if I don't get to them in time...

Seeing Mr Q and I

This is the only picture of Mr Q and I.  Well one of the two taken the same day, with the same background.  I liked this one better as it shows my personality a little better than the other one.  While the kid was taking this I was so tempted to reach my other hand down and do something bad to make Mr Q have a different expression on his face.  But I was a good girl and only thought...

Old Family Photos

If you look on the sidebar you should see a link to my photo album.  If not do me a favor and send me a comment telling me I'm crazy.  Anyhow, in that link is a few photos of my sibblings and I as smaller children.  My older brother is now all grown up with a wife and kids, and my little brother just got his drivers liscense about two months ago.  So you can see how old these are.  Take a look and tell me what you think.
