another haircut bites the dust.
Jessica Stroup, from 90210.
Gorgeous, isn’t she? My friend Natalie was actually the one who told me about ther haircut (I don’t watch 90210). I love it, it’s cute and funky and relatively simple. Her haircut was the inspiration for my big hair chop-off in August. I went to the salon today, hoping to get a trim. Did I get this haircut?
No. No, I did not.
resolutions
A new year, a new start.
December is winding down, so the obligatory end-of-the-year reflections start to begin. This been a complete roller-coaster, and nothing went the way I thought it would, which was a good and bad thing. There were definitely tragic and sad events: Bunny’s sickness, my aunt’s passing, but I’ve also experienced a lot of great things as well. So what will...
take care
So long to my new friend and now former co-worker, Krysia (pronounced Krish-ah), whose off on an exciting new chapter of her life in Edinburgh. You definitely made my days at Club Monaco more enjoyable: I seriously think that every Club Monaco has a token British person employed.
As I had written in my note to you, I’ll miss your snarky and oh-so British remarks. Who’s going to...
roadkill
Katherine: "Oh my God, that stinked up the place!"
Me: " . . . 'Stank,' Katherine?"
Katherine: "Whatever."
a christmas to remember
MERRY CHRISTMAS, HOMIES!
Funfact: I received the most amazing Christmas gift. In typical Joseph-fashion, he included a lot of my friends and loved ones. Suffice to say, this was a fantastic Christmas. :)
freedom
Every time I think of the word freedom, George Michael starts to play in my head.
Anyways! I AM DONE MY EXAMS! I finished on the 21st — barbaric, isn’t it? When highschool students are out of school before I’m finished my exams, you know something’s wrong. Exams should not run that late, it should be illegal.
Nevertheless, I am finished! Contemporary American fiction...
bested by an old lady
As I’ve stated before, I adore Christmas. What I don’t like, is Christmas parking. I love the shopping, I love the deals, I’m even okayish with the crowds — but I hatehatehate the parking lots!
Example: Saturday afternoon.
I usually drive to Fairview about two hours before my shift. It’s a combination of fighting traffic, and my heinious need to be early. It’s...
Three exams down, two more to go.
i heart christmas
I love Christmas. Seriously. Lovelovelove Christmas. My friends and boyfriend know this: I adore Christmas. I love the holiday rush, the craziness in the malls, the crisp cold air, I love it all. Every year I put up the tree on November 25th, so we can get a solid month of Christmas joy.
In case you’re wondering: Yes, my family is Buddhist, but sometimes we’re quasi-Christian. Or my...
why can't it be like in the movies?
I honestly think I’m going to self-combust. Ka-boom! Any and every student can testify that this time of year is absolutely insane, with demands from school, family, friends, work and the annual holiday obligations. I have 4 exams left to do, with the last occuring on the 21st. YES, the 21st! Four days before Christmas! How is this legal?!
Besides that, work has been absolutely hectic....
tolerance, 2010 edition
Guy 1: "Hey man."
Guy 2: "Hey."
Guy 1: "So . . . I thought you had a girl, but you got a guy?"
Guy 2: "Yeah, I got a guy."
Guy 1: "That's cool man, that's cool."
with increasing age comes great responsibility --...
Sorry for the title, that’s all I could think of.
I don’t know if my late aunt’s passing has influenced my train of thoughts, but lately my parents’ welfare has been occupying my thoughts. My parents had me later in life: my mom is turning 59 this year, my dad is 57. Over the years, my parents have become increasing forgetful, and the amount of vitamins and pills they take...
R-rated Retail Talk
Alexa: "So just lift the bottom. . ."
Me: "Uh huh, got it."
Alexa: "Okay, so see where the hole is? Just lift the stick part and put it in."
Me: "Is it supposed to go deep?"
Alexa: "Yeah, if it's not, just try another angle."
Me: "Uh huh . . . there! Got it in!"
Alexa: "See?"
Me: "Yeah, thanks for the help. Hey do you realize what this entire conversation sounded like?"
Alexa: " . . . OMG, I didn't even realize!"
Me: "Sweartagawd, people, we're talking about putting up a mannequin!"
