Another year...

I am the worst at blogging. I remember in high school, after I finished in my typing class, before the internet block went up, I would go onto my LJ and just babble. In fact, I kinda wanna go back and read those. Just to see how dumb High School Sam was. :)

Like I said, it's almost another year. In fact it maybe be real close to a year since my last blog. I talked about the new year starting in two months or something. Here we are again, two months out from 2013. Halloween is 23 days away. Thanksgiving is in 44 days. Christmas is in 77 days. Life is about to get seriously more hectic. I can't say that I'm too excited about that :( I don't enjoy hectic. Busy, yes. Hectic, kill it with fire.

Jer and I are trying to go to Disneyland this month. Keeping the tradition of Disneyland at Halloweentime for our Honeymoon Anniversary. It's pricey, but we're saving for it. I want to actually take my camera this time and take lots of pictures. I can't remember if I did last year. I didn't have the best time. It was hot and Jer wasn't as happy as I was to be there. He's promised me what I call "perfect husband" when we go this year. haha So far so good.

Halloween time in RL though means, now, decorating my store. No one else wants to. But no one wants to order the stuff I need either. It's like if I'm not there to do something then by God, it will never get done. I love decorating, especially for Halloween. And if the company sends us stuff that we can use, they WHY CAN'T WE USE THEM?!?! If I have to be annoying, so be it. They brought it upon themselves! :D

Along with Halloween, starts the rush. I don't know why. We're a drug store. It's not like we have GIFTS. We have knick knacks basically. lol The items we do have, aren't AMAZE-BALLS quality. They aren't the lost Jewels of Alexandria. They're cheapy products with cheapy prices. But we still get slammed. It's already started. And then we have douchebag customers who only buy products to get the extrabucks then turn around and return the product. I really wanna punch those people. But I'm not allowed to. I have to let them.

The sooner we get to the Christmas season and get it over with...the better. Then we can work on cleaning up our store again. lol My manager did give me leave to use store items so long as I don't favor one holiday over the other! SOOOOO, spiderwebs and decor. AND lights and snow!!! I can't wait.

Wow, this has been a long blog for me. I had planned on talking about more than just work. But I guess I'll save that for another one. I hope, really hope, to use this more. I need to get stuff out instead of just bottling it up and not talking about it. So let's hope I can stick to it this time. Well...that's all for now!

Holy cow...

2012 is like 2 months away. This year went super quick. Its been a long time since I've updated. I now am a clerk for a local CVS, which I actually enjoy. Not currently going to school, but I'm not giving up. Just events in life delay dreams, which I'm sure everyone knows.

Batman: Arkham City came out last month and I'm about 60% through the game. So much left to do lol but I've already beat the main story. I love this game, its so much fun and quite different from Arkham Asylum.

I'm rambling. Sorry guys. Just felt like getting a quicky update out. If I don't get to before the big holidays, which I probably wont, I hope everyone has a wonderful season. Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year. Stay safe and love you all.

:),

First day at PCC...

My sister, her husband, my aunt, my grandfather....they all attended this school and I bet not one of them was as freaked by this as I am. I can't tell if it's my sociophobia or what, but I wasn't even this bad at AI...

(1 hour later)

So I didn't fit in the class. If one more person hadn't shown up I would have made it. The teacher said to come back Friday and see if ppl don't show up. I'm next on the wait list. So guess where my butt will be in two days?

Its cloudy. I thinks a storm is rolling in. I don't mind. I like the rain.

I'm waiting for the second bus home and this girl just walks up and starts talking to me. "Lemme guess, you're from PCC?" yes creeper how'd you know? She's giving me her whole life story here. Its crazy...

The pictures are all within the last 30 min.
The first is sculpture sitting outside the pool @ PCC (February 23, 2011)
The other three are all from me waiting for this second bus. Del Mar Blvd and San Gabriel Blvd in Pasadena

Moment of Reflection

I went to Pasadena City College at the end of January to start the registration process. While I was waiting for my best friend I sat out at the reflecting pools for a bit.

Sweet Boy

These are from a mini-shoot I did with my cat in the hallway of my house. He was beeping goofy so I got down on the floor and took pictures of him. The close-up is my favorite :)

This was the day before Valentines. My best friend and I met my family at the mall for lunch but it was so packed, like everywhere, I parked on the top floor of a garage not many ppl use. LOL

The Heavens are Pleased

This was the day of my best friends cosmotology state board test, which she passed! It had been sprinkling all morning and when we got out and closer to home the sun broke through. :)
