Good to hear you got a bit of a break over these last couple of days. Your boss probably did that on purpose because of all the work you did monday through wednesday, eh? Maybe she remembers that she was supposed to write your review, and hasn't gotten to it yet, but it wouldn't hurt to ask her again. Sounds like those guys were also giving you a bit of break. Maybe the whole universe was like, "Let's go easy on Freya today!" Yay! Yup, and that's probably why those guys helped you. They were like, "Cute girl, doing work! That's a travesty!" Watcha gonna do? It's not that bad, is it? Sounds like you want to be a very independent individual and not rely on anyone. That's good. Just as long as you don't get too independent, and we never hear from you again. She is really nice. Both of them are really nice, and giving. And I like kids. It's just that when the first thing you hear in the morning is a loud, high-pitched voice... that tends to get on your nerves a little. Remember, I'm not a morning person, either. And morning is like the first couple hours when I wake up. Got my routine, and if that gets interrupted, then death. I don't remember any mistakes you made, so clearly they didn't bother me, missy. Although if you want to improve, then good for you. Hope you have a fun weekend this week! Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
Oooh, believe me, I was grumpy all day long. XD One of the girls who work with me told me that she was afraid I'd kill her that day. XD Just because I was looking mad all the time. ^^" (And the only thing I wanted to reply to that was: "How about YOU doing that work for a few hours only? You'd want to kill everyone too..." XD) Hopefully my boss will give me some kind of review. :3" I need one for my study.~ It would be quite complicated to explain what it is and why I need it, but... it'd be great. xD I asked her before, but she didn't really realize it. So I have to ask her again sometime... :/ But there're only one week (and 3 days) left *_*" *happy* I know that I'm not weak, unfortunately .,." When I was in a sports club yeeeaaars ago the trainer also said that I was quite strong. <.<" At least.. I'm stronger than other girls. xD" Today, when I had to help a guy with his work, I must've looked like the cute little blonde girl next door, because every guy passing me by helped me all of a sudden. XD And the one I was helping also said: "Ooohh, I can't stand to see that...." and helped me XD""" The things I had to carry weren't that heavy, but it wasn't light, either. xD I'd have to drive ~40 km to my home. So I could visit her anytime. x3" But I don't want to. I was happy I phoned her today. (Well, actually I just talked to her because I wanted to know if anything had happened. My parents wanted to go on holidays this weekend, and my mom wrote to me that they didn't go - so I wondered what could've happened so that they didn't go. xD" And in the end.. it was just because my father thought it'd be too expensive. <_<") We talked for 1 ½ hours, so it was... nice. x3 I even felt better because of it. Must be due to the fact that I've been all alone since Monday. XD" (My sister went on holidays, too XD) Hehe, seems like your roommate is a nice person. :3 A daycare... that'd be a nice job for me. XD I'd love to see all the kids <3 And play with them *_* Don't you like kids? xP I'll answer the PM later. :3 Or should I rather say... tomorrow. XD Now I wanna play SingStar (if you know the game .-.). And... sorry for all the horrible mistakes I made in the last VM. I just read a bit of it again and immediately found 2 mistakes X.x There's nothing worse than misuse of language... .,." Btw. I got out of work at 1 pm today. O_o I even asked my boss: "...anything else to do?" because I wasn't used to going home that early. XD (And she replied: "Yes. Go home and start your weekend already!!!" XD She's sooo~ cool! ^^)
Not much happened. Not like the hell you went through, eh? I'm glad you survived! If I had to do something like that, I'd probably be really grumpy and tired. Hopefully your boss will look at all the hard, good work you've done for her this summer, and give you a good review/letter of recommendation, or something, so that when you go to apply somewhere else, they'll be like, "look what she did before! She kicks ass!" Do you get compensated for working overtime, too? Like, time and a half or anything? And I think you've proved that you aren't just a "weak little girl" That might not be what you want to hear right now, but that kind of thing proves your strong will and resilience. Sorry you missed your mother. How far away does she live? Maybe you can visit her on the weekend, eh? And see, I told you your friend wouldn't think it was that big a deal, didn't I? And damn right about Kefka! The other day, I wrote a little more... after deleting more. I decided to rewrite the chapter that I started last, which is at the very end of what I gave you. It was from Carlene's perspective, but there has not been all that much from Cephas' perspective, so it was time! Also, I haven't been able to use my one friend's equipment to work out lately, so I've been trying to do random stuff. My roommate has this metal bar in our garage, which we used the other day. It's two hundred pounds and unwieldy, and whenever I'd try to pick it up, it'd just roll out of my hands, so I had to pick it up with an opposing grip each time. I just think it's awesome that he just has that in his garage though, haha. I wonder where he got it. Also, I dunno if I've told you before, but my other roommate (they're a married couple) runs a daycare during the day. They woke me up today, with the crying and screaming... I was like "grr...." The little girl was crying because she'd just been dropped off and wanted her mommy, and the little boy kept asking my roommate, "Why does she want her mommy? Why does she want her mommy?" He cracks me up sometimes... and annoys me some other times, ha. And then there's this baby who cries a lot... a lot of times, we can't figure out why, so the guy roommate came up with the theory that "He realized he isn't God." Because babies (and human beings) think they should get whatever they want, and if they don't get it immediately, they make noise until they get it. I love my roommate Maybe you should reply to that pm I sent you. I think I asked you a few questions in there. I don't remember what. Whatever you wanna do; I'm just glad to hear from you again Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
Hah, nice to read that you gave me all the time I needed now (desperately!). You know, this is something I don't want to get attention with... but I'm so terribly exhausted these days. I was so glad that I was able to go home at 4 pm today, it felt like I didn't even go to work. .,." So here's why I didn't show up a few days: On Monday, we had to work faster than ever, because we were already behind schedule. This means: Putting the items into the displays even faster than you'd already done. Means: No stopping, always working. It wasn't THAT bad, but I think I stayed 'till 6 pm that day. NOTHING compared to Tuesday. On Monday, my boss came to me and said: "I'm sorry, but I have other work for you tomorrow..." You... wouldn't think she'd give me hell. .,." She told me that one of the guys (whose her puppet, in a way, because he's doing the hard work for her and won't ever get any appreciation for his work -.-") needed help. That I had to help him. Okay, not that bad, I thought. She showed me what to do, told me about the lists. No prob. Really. Then, Tuesday came. My work was to charge trucks. (Meaning: getting the displays we filled into the elevator - getting the RIGHT displays into the elevator <.<") So basically, what I did was... working without any break, for 12 hours, always having to get heavy displays (damn those candles they'll sell!!! >_<) into the elevator. Not that bad at all (if it weren't that I really didn't have any break XD"). One of the apprentices of the firm helped me a lot at the beginning, although he didn't like to. After a few hours (2-3?), my boss came to us and told the apprentice to help the other girls. I was like WTF, especially when she told him that I was "resilient"........ I was sweating like... I don't know what, I already thought I wouldn't survive that day... Every muscle of my body HURT that day, I wasn't able to sleep for AN HOUR because my legs hurt that much! The end of that day... I left work at 7.30 pm (!) and got home at 8 pm 'cause I drove someone to the train station first... I don't know how I managed to get home. I didn't know where I was driving... I just knew the way. (And I'm glad I've already managed to find the way to my sister's place without even thinking! XD") Then, on Wednesday, it was even worse. I was totally whiny because I knew I had to do the same work as I had to on Tuesday, and then we realized that, instead of 6 people, we were only... 3!!!! >_< And we needed 6 displays... in 30 minutes. And I was the only person who knew how to do it... so I worked even faster than on Monday. -.- Fortunately, as we didn't have much time, one of the two guys did "my" work, so it was no problem... Then, today, it wasn't that bad at all. As I said, I left work at 4 pm. That's quite early. o.o Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to leave that early again... Btw. don't even DARE to ask why my boss decided that a little, weak girl like me should do the work even a man has to struggle with. -.-" She told me: "You're faster than the others.".... Arw~ These were horrible days. X.x" As for my parents... When I listened to a song of a band my mother really likes today on the radio... I felt a bit of home sickness. I seem to begin to miss my mother. (I don't really miss my father, I realized today that I didn't even think about him all the time. ^^" He's just not the person I'm most bound to in my family...) Oh and another thing that happened! I was quite surprised to hear from the friend I mentioned a... week ago, I think. You know, the one I forgot to write a message to. She didn't blame me, she wanted to know how I was feeling because she didn't reach me by phone. (Which is nothing out of the ordinary 'cause I'm faaar away from my phone. xD) So... did I answer that PM already? Did I forget it? Should I even answer it? ?_? I'm confused. XD" How did you do those last days? Did anything happen? (Besides your journal entry... Kefka ftw <3 Who needs Sephiroth when you have Kefka? <3)
Okay, I get it. You hate your parents, haha (just teasing.) Nah, that’s understandable, not being awake at the same time as them and thus not really wanting to be awake to talk to them. Heh, I didn't know how else to respond to that. "I'm angry at you for talking about Yellowstone! Arbitrary anger!" Unless you were just kidding, or something, in which case I reacted poorly and I apologize. Actually, there is only one Yellowstone in all the world. It is the most famous national park in the US, I think, unless the Grand Canyon is more famous. I’m not sure. But yeah; it’s a super volcano, dormant now, but if it ever went off, I think we’d all be affected, if I understand correctly. It’s a beautiful area, but dangerous, as you can fall through the ground into boiling, sulfurous water and die if you step on the wrong place (that’s why there’s paths.) Soft beds are nice. Unless you are used to firm beds. Actually, a happy medium between the two is the best. Yeah; I was asleep until noon that day. And then I fell asleep again later. I stayed up late the night before, though. I stay up until all hours of the night, generally; I didn’t fall asleep until around 5 this morning, and then I got up at 10 for church. I like sleep… Well, thank you for writing to me even though you were tired, but you take care of yourself first and foremost, missy! Don't worry about writing me if you're really tired; get your rest, and then we will talk some more Anyhoo… Wuv, Yer Mom
I didn't want a phone card. ^^" I had my cell phone, that was all I needed. I didn't want to phone my parents that often. This must sound as if I don't like them, but you must imagine that.. well, somehow, I got to bed when they just got up xD Ah, so there are also Yellowstone parks in the US... That was what I was confused about... I'll just skip your sarcasm now. xP I don't think I get power from my sister, but well... xD I think it's the bed. It's much softer than mine at home. Perhaps that's the reason.. idk... .-. You were still asleep at 11.23 am?! O_o"" How long do you sleep??? XD As you can see.. I'm pretty tired... I'll answer your pm later, if I remember it. xD" I just wanted to write to let you know that I've been here.. but I've got no motivation to do anything today. ~..~"
You should've gotten a phone card or something, eh? Like, one of those prepade thingies. Would that work between countries? I got a 750 minute card for like $30, or something, when I went to Yellowstone. Heh, but I know how you feel about not wanting to be around your parents all the time. Family trips are enough to make one want to kill, aren't they? Particularly grumpy old men fathers. Although I think that when I was in Yellowstone, I got along with my dad the best. Because we were in two different states. It was actually not annoying to hear his voice, haha. Yellowstone is in three states: Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Mostly in Wyoming. It is almost as far removed from England as one can be in the United States, heh. It made you angry that I was talking about Yellowstone? "How dare you discuss your past experiences away from home with me, Tom!" Sorry, I guess? Oh no, he secretly loves you! Corporal Punishment knows It will all be revealed to you shortly... Y'know, that's a strange phenomenon. When I was staying with my sister and brother in law a few years back, I would stay up until like 4 am, wake up between 8 and 10, and feel fine, too. Something about that bed, I guess. Maybe it's the power of the siblings! At the time that you wrote me, it was 11:23 AM. I was still asleep, ha. You're somewhere between 8 and 10 hours ahead of me, right? Well, have a nice night, missy. Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
Yes, most of the times you really don't have enough motivation to do something creative. It's sad, but it's not that bad at all. I wanted to write my FFVIII review yesterday... but then I was too tired. Also, I didn't write the next chapter of the story I have to write yet... meh... To be honest, I missed them a lot. The reason I was not phoning... was money. It always comes down to money, doesn't it? xD It was quite expensive to phone from India to my parents. .-." I just wrote them a few times when I needed advice. That wasn't often. And besides, I don't like it when they're around for too long. I need distance after a while. I couldn't stand seeing them 24/7. ^^" Besides... I only missed my mother. So where the heck is Yellowstone?! O_o Isn't it a... national park thing in England?! Somehow I got irritated by your talking about Yellowstone... xD" I don't think that Stupid likes me. Don't be stupid, Corporal Punishment xP There's no way he'd like me - he's more interested in other girls with... bigger eyes. XD I hope you understand what I mean. xD He flirted with a few of the other girls, but he didn't dare to flirt with me. x3 He'd just seen that I needed help and helped me - as a colleague. Since I'm at my sister's place I somehow really sleep well. o_o" This morning I woke up at 8 am and got up immediately. xD" I was widely awake, although normally I don't get up earlier than 10 am ^^""" So, I don't know what time it is in Oregon, but... have a nice day xP Anyhooo~
Heh heh, okay, I won't call myself stupid. Isn't that the way it always is? You wanna write or draw or play your music or do something else that's creative, but then there's always something else going on to distract you. Money is a good distraction, though. I hope you find yourself something really cool to buy. Don't be totally responsible with it; that's no fun! Heh. Sounds like you didn't miss them that much then, eh? You missed them, but you're a strong, independent young lady! When I was in Yellowstone, I would call home. Mostly because all there was was a pay phone. The second time I went back, I got sick of it, and halfway through, I got a cell phone. It's kinda lame, because the people there aren't always the coolest. I was surrounded by a lot of degenerates all the time... and some very good people. I made a lot of friends, I'm not gonna say they all sucked. You have family in Oregon. I checked it out. Your aunt... Lucy. Yeah. You should come visit her. Hm. Stupid has turned into a gentleman, eh? It's a trap! ...nah. Maybe he likes you Maybe he'll ask you out next week. Wouldn't that be interesting? Alrighty, ma'am. Corporal Punishment wishes you a fun, restful night, as well. Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
Don't call yourself stupid. You're not! >_< *poke* Hm... you remind me of my own story which I write for a contest... I've to write the next chapter soon... xD" Otherwise, it'll be too late. <_<" But I've no time... today I also worked too long. -.- I should've gone home at 1 pm but I got home at 5 pm.... But today I got the money for work and... well, to be honest, it's quite much, but I've worked hard for it. xD" Hahaha, my dad and me together in India... that would've been overkill... I didn't want to talk to him when I was there. ^^" Sometimes my parents phoned me and then my father always told me what I've done wrong. -_-" That the Indians were a bit afraid because I didn't eat breakfast one day, because I've said "no" to someone (have I mentioned that I can't be polite? XD), etc. -.- It was really annoying everytime he phoned me... <_<" As for my mom... she always wanted to reassure herself that I was okay, still feeling well, not being ill and such. When she saw me at the airport she even cried 'cause she was so happy that I came home alive. XD"""" When I was younger I always wanted to come to the US, we've family there. I've never met them before, so I wanted to meet them, like the rest of the family did. (They went there without me because I was only 6 then xD") But it's expensive, it's a long way... and I don't have anywhere I could go. xP But I'll research if I've family in Oregon. Stupid wasn't that stupid today. oo Somehow he really impressed me. When I couldn't handle something, he said "Let me do it" - like a gentleman. I was really surprised that he even talked to me after what had happened. xD It was nice that we parted ways without having an argument. :3" So now I'm getting tired again.. and I promised a friend to play Mario Kart via Nintendo Wi-Fi connection. xP So I'm gonna do this now. Have a nice night, Corporal Punishment! ^^ Anyhoo, Your Rat
We'll see. I was over at that friend's house last night, though... should've borrowed it from him then! Stupid me! I will push myself until I push myself off a cliff, lady! There will be violence, and it will involve me! ...that's an absurd thing for me to say. Maybe I'll just draw instead, or something. Or watch tv. Or do something even less productive, haha. You should've taken your dad with you to India. That would've been a good learning and bonding experience, where you two could get to know each other better than you ever have... or kill each other. But yeah; two times, I went and worked in Yellowstone for a Summer. Actually, I've talked about that before. It would've been more fun if I had a car. But it was to experience living someplace other than here. I came to a very similar conclusion to what you came to. Family and friends = love. So when are you gonna go back to India, huh? Screw India; come to America. Come to Oregon! We've got... trees... and... rain... and... the beach... and mountains... ... *nod* I read about Stupid yesterday. Stupid sounds like a dick. Or a bully. He's scared of you, too, eh? I would be too, if I were him You made the right move by standing up to him. Rest well lady, and we'll talk again tomorrow Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
Hm, unfortunately I have to tell you know that there's no "part 1" of Metropolis. xP There is a SONG which is called Metropolis (The Miracle and The Sleeper)... At least I think it was called that. xP Btw. you don't have to buy it... I know that CDs are expensive these days... <.< You'd better get one of your friend and choose one song there. As I said, I love every song of DT. x3 Hah, I know what you mean. <_<" I started my current novel... a year ago, if I remember correctly. (My memory's getting worse each day O_o") By now I've written... 9 chapters... out of over 30 XD"" Don't push yourself. I don't think that's the right way to write... :/ Of course I went to India alone. It would've been totally annoying if my parents had been there. XD" It was... some kind of "a step forward into a future without being dependent of my parents". XD To be honest, I missed them a lot, but I needed this experience, I really did. I was only 18 by then and I hadn't been away for that long (and that far away ^^") before. I realized that I needed my parents and that my family was the most important thing in my life. .,. So what did I do there... I went to school. ^^ But not as a student. As I said, I wanna become a teacher (English and Maths xP), so I watched the lessons there. :3 I would've liked to go to school there, though. In my school they didn't have that much activities. It was just a school. But in India, they had Book Weeks, Movie Weeks, theaters, they did plays every now and then... it was just great ToT (And Indian food is totally delicious x3"" *kehehe*) You might wonder why I chose India: My father has many connections to Indians, so there was one man who was looking after me all the time. I could barely handle that... Indians are sooo~ polite. T.T" And they already said that they wanted to know when I'd come again... XD So I think someday in the future I'll go to India again. :3 Hehehe, today work was awful again. XD" I dunno if you read my journal, but Stupid was stupid again today. <-<" Somehow he managed to get me so far as to lose all my politeness. XD" I told him to "not go on my nerves". Perhaps I've mentioned it before... but I never say something like that. xD" It was just that I'd worked for 12 hours yesterday, and there was sooo~ much work to do... X.x" (But I've laughed much when I heard that Stupid didn't want to come to me anymore because he was kind of afraid XD) Some weirdo on the internet I like. xP Btw. I've slept great. I wanted to get up at 3 am that night... I was fully awake, yet I forced myself to sleep again 'cause I have to get up at 5.45 (!!) am XD" That was.. a shock. After writing this, though, I'll go to bed. I'm tired. But hopefully I won't work long tomorrow =D Anyhoo, Your Rat
I will have to buy that album, then. Probably online, as per I only see a few albums carried at my local store, ever. Dunno if that's one of them, but I think that might be the one my friend likes a lot (although I think it was part 1, not part 2.) Getting impatient, lady. I started writing this thing in the Spring time of '08. I've barely gone three chapters in like a year, heh... I really need to sit down and brainstorm. I don't even want to do that most of the time, though. Maybe I should just write. That's what I do every day. Ha. You went to India for three weeks, and that was without your parents or anyone? That definitely is a long ways away. Why were you down there? Was it a trip, or something? Was it at least fun, and you got to see everything? Also, your english is just fine. Don't lose your brain, though; that's an important organ! Heh. Nice bosses are awesome. I've been fortunate enough to have mostly those in my time. Up until recently, my boss was really nice. I think he was just stressed because he was worried about everything getting done before school started again, and that he has anger management issues. From the sound of things, he is much better than he was before. I also think he was nicer to me before because I'm a substitute and not a regular worker, but I've been working for him so often now and will likely replace this other worker when he leaves (I say "when" because it's almost a given; he's openly admitted to the other guy that he doesn't want to be there, and they don't want him there either.) So now he's comfortable with sharing his wrath with me. Well, y'know what, lady? You better sleep well tonight, then. None of this staying up late and writing half hour long messages to some weirdo online, like you normally do Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
I'll probably skip parts of our conversation now, I've - again - worked for 12 hours and I'm f-ing tired... I just wanted to read your reply to the pm. I thought about it a lot today, as I didn't really know what to expect. :/ I'll answer it after the VM again x3" I like all songs of DT, but I've a favorite album. And that's "Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory" *_* That's just awesome. I hope you'll like it. xP As for my song: Eheheheh, you know, I can't record something here... I'm at my sister's place after all. Perhaps when she's gone for a week... That'll be... a week from now...? Or two weeks...? Dunno. xD" Don't push yourself. I noticed that when I wrote without having motivation, it was shit. Just shit. xD" It just wasn't good enough, so I deleted it all. Now I only write when I really feel like writing - and that's seldom. ^^" Well, I'd be shocked if it ever happened again. .-." I don't think so, either. I learn from my mistakes, I noticed that today, too. I've improved my driving skills. x3" I've never lived anywhere else before... except for three weeks two years ago. I've been to India XD" So, now you know where I live, you can imagine how far away that is... Is my English getting worse each sentence? x..x I've the feeling I'm not able to concentrate anymore. Perhaps I just lost my brain when I was in the bathroom XD My boss is pretty cool x3~ She accepts most of the things we say. If we say that we did it in another way as she thought we should do it, she accepts that. Sometimes she's even too friendly. But still, she's the boss. I told her that today, too. I said: "Boss, if you say that I've to stay 'till 10 pm, then I'll stay 'till 10 pm, no matter what!" Well, many bosses would've been glad to hear something like that... she answered "You're crazy, aren't you?" XD Because she didn't want me to work that long. xP I'm probably going to write another entry in my journal after answering your PM... about what happened at work today. <_< That was rather... annoying. Great day... haha, you're kidding me T.T" I feel like I'm always at work. I wrote in another forum that I had the feeling I spent more time at work than at home. ^^" I'm just glad I moved to my sister's place. Otherwise I would've been at home 30 minutes later... x..x"" I barely had time today... ARGH! So, now I'm gonna answer your PM.. Hope at least YOU'll have a nice day. And hopefully you slept better now Anyhoo, Your Rat (who's just answered your VM in only 15 instead of the usual 30 minutes XD)
Yeah, we got like minimum wage at the gas station. And it was pretty difficult sometimes to keep up with all the cars, and we didn't get any breaks. It was a pain in the anus. Which album of DT's is the best? No wait, you said you liked them all, huh? Maybe I can borrow an album from my buddy Scott; he loves them. So I'll see what I can do. And yeah; let's sing a duet when we meet He edited the movie via computer; maybe I can talk him into putting his movie up on youtube or something. He's got his previews up there, too. It would be really easy for me to find the Shara thing. Just gotta search for it. I need to write more, lady. You'll catch up to me, and there won't be anything left to read! The last part I've been writing has been hard to figure out, though. I'm still not fully satisfied, either. You will see, soon enough. Y'know what? I like you a lot. The things you say to me make me really happy, and I like you just the way you are too. It's okay if you don't know what to think of all that religious stuff. Don't worry about it. Furthermore, about that spot where you almost hit the kid; you didn't. Now, it sounds like you've learned from this experience, so as long as you remember what you've learned from it, it probably won't happen again, right? So don't worry about that, either ^^ It's too bad, because I kinda did, I cannot deny. Particularly given that I had just sent you that PM the night before... that was perfect timing on my part! So you spontaneously decided to move to your sister's place, eh? Have you ever lived anywhere that wasn't your parents' place? That will probably be an interesting experience. I hope you can survive! Heh heh, you and your system. You'd be a good person to consult about things like that, eh? Particularly if you told the boss how it's done, and she agreed! You are awesome! *high five* Oh, I dunno. It would be really nice to give a gift, but it seems like a bit much, for so easy a slip up. If you really want to, go for it. I'll tell you what, lady... I had all the time in the world to sleep in today, and I'm still tired anyway. I need to go to bed earlier, I think. Furthermore, I went on a walk through the woods today, and prayed for a long time. It was relieving to read what you had to say; I suddenly got a sense of foreboding while walking back. Before I started back, though, I stopped at a little pond, and out in the middle of the pond, on a rock, were two turtles. I've never seen them around here before. Thought it was cool, though. I will read your review when you write it. Hope you have a great day, missy! btw; don't remember if I've told you, or if you've seen it somewhere else, but my name is Tom. Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
