So I'm ridiculously stressed and I STILL hate greedy-ass EGR people...

But all it takes is one Broadway musical to make me happy.

Today at work I was prepping for the rush and the song "Music of the Night" was on the radio on some easy listening station... a few people were kind of humming along...

Random employees: "la la la... leave all thoughts of the world you knew before..."

Me: "Let your soul take you where you long to BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*vibrato kicks in*EEEEE!!!!!!*ring*"

Employees: "..."

Me : *thinks* " I should enjoy this moment because there's no way in hell that's EVER going to happen again." *goes back to working*

So yeah... I like music. It's particularly funny because Patti just gave me that CD to burn today, and I listened to it the whole way to work, and determined that I couldn't hit that particular note. Then I started thinking... just before I hit the note at work, I had taken a drink of Wild Cherry Pepsi. Thinking back, when Joe and I hit the note in "I Believe In A Thing Called Love", I was drinking Pepsi. Apparently Pepsi products make my vocal cords happy.

In other news... there is no other news.

"PATRIIIICIA!!" *runs in a circle*

"A hundred days have made me older since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lives have made me colder and I don’t think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I’m dreaming of your face

I’m here without you baby but you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby but you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it’s only you and me

The miles just keep rolling as the people leave their way to say hello
I hear this life is overrated but I hope that it gets better as we go

I’m here without you baby but you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby but you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, girl, it’s only you and me

Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won’t take away my love
And when the last one falls, when it’s all said and done
It gets hard but it won’t take away my love

I’m here without you baby but you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby but you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, girl, it’s only you and me."

So... stuff has been okay lately, I suppose. I think I'm overextending myself again. I'll be glad when I don't have to drive out to Coopersville every day.

I feel like I'm drifting away from certain people again (Gotta love that Xanga ambiguity)... guess I'm in a weird mood right now.

Payday tomorrow! Finally. Hopefully the money lasts me two weeks this time. Gotta make the auto insurance payment, which is half the check... and gas is lower but still ridiculous... so... looks like Scott's staying at home most of the time. Whee!

If I could just suddenly stumble upon some riches or a winning lottery ticket, that'd be great.

Bubs: "Grabbin' your butt?! That's not very lady-like!"

Strong Sad: "I'm not a lady!"

Bubs: "Oh! Whatever!" *walks away*

That's from the "One Step Ahead" email, if you're curious.

So... updating. Yep.

Here I sit at GRCC in the library, being bored. Waiting for 1:45 to roll around...

Exciting, eh?

Tonight... it happened. I became the One of Little Caesar's.

We got slammed... things were going poorly, customers were getting uspet that they had to wait, and then... it happened. I rose from the ashes of my former assistant manager self, and became the One. I saw the world of pizza-making for what it was, and I bent it to my will. Sheetouts became a one-handed affair as I discovered the ability to make two pizzas at once.The oven was no longer a treacherous beast, but a manageable annoyance that I used to my advantage. Folding boxes? Peh! Done! The cash register? A breeze. Angry customers? They fell prey to my quick wit and good weaseling-out-of-trouble skills. They could not be angry depsite themselves.

I even made sauce... and I didn't get any on the table or the wall.

And after all that... I'm quitting in two weeks. Sad, eh?

So... getten woken up by your mom so she can tell you that someone broke into all the vehicles last night is never fun.

Under cover of the storm, they stole my cd player, all my cd's, my backpack(?), the spare cell phone, and any cash I had in my car. They didn't take anything out of my mom's van, and my dad's truck was locked, but they threw all the fishing tackle and such out of the boat and onto the ground. They also felt the need to destroy several things, such as the back-of-seat organizer from my car and a large amount of my diabetes supplies.

I'm feeling okay about it now... that whole "time making rage ebb" thing... but if I had woken up last night, it would NOT have been a good scene, and I probably would have been either dead or in jail this morning. Wow... I was NOT happy. I think I may know who did it... I'm having a hard time with that too. But I'm actually exercising restraint. Be proud of me.

Rage makes me feel icky.

So... for those of you who didn't get the email (I don't have everyone's addresses), here is the general plan for next Saturday, August 14th.

-Meet at my house between 11 AM and 12 PM (that's noon, not midnight).

-Carpool from my house to Grand Haven (trust me, it's easiest that way), where we swim/ sit/ play volleyball / football / frisbee, etc, etc, and possibly see some awesome sunset action.

-Head back toward my house later on for the fire itself, roast some marshmallows, burn some books... er... anyway... Yeah. Maybe watch a movie, or play some Halo. You can probably crash here if it gets to be too late.

Anyone want to add to that? Bring money and beach stuff...
