Long Time No See

Its definitely been a long time hasn't it?! I should inform you (even though anyone who reads this knows already) that I got a job! I work at Target and will be on the sales floor most of the time. I started my training this week. It seems like a really good place to work :) I'm only seasonal but it looks like they'll be giving me good hours since my schedule is completely open and I hope they will keep me after the holidays!! Unless I find a better job that is. There is a problem though...no health insurance! Lets hope that I will survive without my birth control...and I will have to just play it safe so I don't get injured! I'm really glad that I have a job though and wont be stuck bored to death while all my friends are at work or school. Tomorrow I will be working my first 8 hour shift since I believe August of 2008! It will be interesting I'm sure haha. Wish me luck!!

Fun Facts

These are some fun facts I stumbled upon:

1. A quarter has 119 grooves around the edge of it & a dime has 118.

2. A bolt of lightning travels at speeds of up to one hundred million feet per second, or seventy-two million miles per hour.

3. The bird of paradise can sleep upside down.

4. Because of the rotation of the earth, an object can be thrown farther if it is thrown west.

5. A rainbow can be seen only in the morning or late afternoon. It can occur only when the sun is 40 degrees or less above the horizon.

6. Bees have 5 eyes. There are 3 small eyes on the top of a bee's head and 2 larger ones in front.

7. Butterflies taste with their hind feet.

Life

Well, I'm a college graduate now so that's good!! But its definitely not fun being unemployed and running out of money! I can't decide if I would rather not get interviews at all or if I would keep things the way they are with me getting a good amount of interviews but never getting a job. I hate getting my hopes up!

When it comes to boys I think I'm pretty apathetic lately. Sure I'd like to be dating someone but lots has been going on in the boy department so right now I could care less who is interested in me. There's a boy that's been pursuing me but I think I've decided I only liked the idea of dating someone and didn't really like him enough to date him. We'll see. There is a boy that once showed interest in me who kinda started showing it again and I would love for him to give me a chance -- he is one boy I am definitely not apathetic about haha. I can't seem to get over him...and I really like how I feel when I'm with him. Unfortunately I don't think he feels the same -- I think he just liked my attention. But you never know, I can always hope...

I have a Twitter account and I seem to be much better at that than blogging but its kind of boring posting on there when I have no followers like I do on here haha. Oh well, at least I'm following some people so I can read their tweets.

3 Good Things

Ok, so in the forum/devotional today the guy was basically talking about how to teach people to be positive and gain more self esteem. One of the things he suggested was each night to write 3 things that went well that day and why. I'll probably write this in my journal eventually but I'm so terrible about that that my journal is actually still in Tooele! So here are some good things from today:

1) School went well -- I did not fall asleep in the class I normally do even though I wasn't working on homework to keep me awake

2) Work went well -- we were incredibly busy Monday and I assumed that it would be terrible today but it actually was not bad at all

3) Mary Kay -- I finally went to a Mary Kay meeting and I forget how it gets me pumped to start my business! I think I really am going to try this time! We'll see how "warm chattering" goes on Saturday with my director.

It's my birthday!

So today is my 22nd birthday! Time flies doesn't it? It was a pretty normal day, went to school and work. I got my nails done - gel with pink tips! That was fun. And then I went out to dinner with some friends. YUMMY! I got a george foreman g5 grilleration which is amazing! I also got "What Happens in Vegas," and a yummy smelling candle. Things haven't been too bad although I wish I would have had a better turn out for dinner. It was still fun though.

Poems

I was going through some old blogs on myspace and found some old poems I wrote so I thought I'd share.

Be You

Lost in a pool of reflection I struggle to fight rejection
I just want to fit in with the crowd Of myself I want to be proud
Then the wheels in my head start to turn An important lesson I am about to learn
There’s only one of me Me is not such a bad thing to be
Anyone who disagrees with this notion Needs a shot of love potion
They need to love themselves and others After all, aren’t we all sisters and brothers?
So get a clue, And don’t be afraid to be you




Stupid Boys

Boys
are stupid
Yes they are
There's no more cupid
He's gone afar
Boys ruin all
Whether they're short, fat, or tall

In Honor of Valentine's Day

It isn't Valentine's Day yet...but I thought I'd do a post in honor of it anyway. In a recent addition of Schooled Magazine there were some facts about smooching! So I thought I'd share them :) My comments will be italicized and in purple.

* Not only is kissing good for your relationship, but also it's good for you health! Locking lips can boost your immune system, relieve stress, and even slow the aging process! Maybe that's why I look so young...and I have definitely used it as a stress reliever!

* A one minute kiss works off 26 calories.

* Before marrying, American men will kiss approximately 24 women while women will lock lips with 17.5 men. First of all, .5 men huh? Weird... Second of all...no comment ;)


* Kissing reduces tooth decay because the extra saliva generated by lip-lock cleans your teeth. Maybe that's why I have less cavities than I used to...haha


Yay for kissing! So beneficial :D

That was quick...

I know I just made it official with Dan late Friday night/early Saturday morning...but I had to call it quits today. He's a really great guy and I do like him but he's so self conscious and nervous around me that it makes it really awkward and uncomfortable for me. I told him that we need to take a step back and be friends first. And once he's comfortable being my friend we can go from there. He's just fine when we're in groups but when its just the two of us even though we have fun the awkard moments totally overpower the fun ones. Like last night for example...we were having a really good time then decided it was time for him to go and he asked if he could kiss me before he left. First of all, he already kissed me once, second of all we're dating so he shouldn't need to ask! But I said ok (not really wanting one because the first one was so awkward). Then he proceeded to tell me that "we're going to do it like will smith says to in hitch." How awkward is that?! You don't say how you are going to kiss someone you just do it! So I told him that was really awkward and I couldn't kiss him. And after that I just realized that I could'nt handle the awkwardness. He needs to gain some confidence!
