RANDOM RANTS!

Thats bullshit. Id say do it/go anyway DONT GIVE UP!...because if u dont go, i dont think anything will change. The more people that come and support (even just to protect them), the less people will get hurt. The bigger the crowd, the less others will try to ruin it. Wear shin/elbow guards! >.<
You really have to fight for big issues like that. And dont give up. Thats crazy.

Theres still racist/homophobe/assholes here in america ...but they all have basically become too scared or afraid to actually speak out loud most times (unless theres a political issue on it, like gay marriage). So it really doesnt affect any gay parades...yet they do have police at those things for safety. Thats really stupid that they cant be who they are there, and makes me sad.

I dont know what to say except, dont give up. Maybe they could all plan it at a time when no one expects, (and do it by word of mouth) and get as many people as possible? Jeez, this makes me angry.

I feel like my meds aren't working again. The last couple of days I've felt so low. It might be that the pain meds I'm on are intefering, I don't know. And all I want right now is to talk to and see my friend Ben, the one who was horrible at Sonisphere, but now he's not talking to me for some reason.

i dunno if anyone agrees with me- i think creative people are prone to having a lot of probs. more than average.

it sucks when you're stuck in a blah friend situation... :| its like its hard to do something to change the scenario.

i don't have a rant, but everyone here is really supportive and when i feel pissy it makes me feel better to read all the rants.

So - for the record - I like kids. They're lots of fun most of the time, but I am pretty sure that a Child of the Corn was in the store today.

This pretty little blonde girl who had been behaving just like any other little girl, laughing with her sister, looking in awe at the shiny/sparkly costume fabric and conversing with my coworkers about her project, then just randomly started walking towards me, open-mouthed and staring and NOT responding to me when I asked her if I could help her find something or if she had a question, except by intensifying her stare.

For about 5-6 minutes she kept super close to where I was working, staring at me from over a shelf with pure hatred on her face. That is, until her mother came over and THEN she smiled an evil but sweet little smile. I thought the problem was solved by mom's presence, BUT THEN this creepy little brat gets all bossy to her mom about finding a cotton fabric that's "PINK!!!" and starts glaring (which got even creepier) at me when I showed her (and mom) where to find what they were looking for.

Maybe I was supposed to just pick out something for them. But, considering the situation, the wrong answer very well could have led to being attacked with a scythe.

NO thank you.

What the heck happened to kids all of a sudden? I'm amazed by the lack of manners and common courtesy that parents pass down.
Then there was their mother, and her behavior proved that the problem wasn't something chemical in her kids brain, it was more of a follow-the-leader type thing.
After I'd dropped EVERYthing to help them,(Literally dropping everything - I tend to carry large piles of fabric bolts from one side of the store to the other for most of the day - on a side note, WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK THE PERSON WITH THEIR ARMS FULL, TO HELP THEM? ESP WHEN THERE'S SOMEONE WITH EMPTY HANDS STANDING BEHIND A COUNTER? GAH!!) she treats me like garbage and she and her lovely daughters proceeded to leave a lovely mess for me/coworkers to clean up.

Anyways - I'm totally having nightmares tonight. And spending a couple hours thinking up clever things I could have said. I love retail.

Jesus, I'm the ones on meds in my house and sometimes I feel like I'm the only sane one! Lizzie's constantly angry at someone or something, so we're always on edge. Lauren, I'm sure, is verging on hypomania and is now super pissed off with everyone for not coming to meet her walk back from Aikido, even though it's a perfectly safe walk and she used to make me walk home alone down dodgy alleyways when I was drunk at 2am. Andy is either angry or too laid back for his own good. And Jake acts okay but I'm sure it's because he's just really, really repressing everything.

I'm meant to be the crazy one but I feel like everyone around me is just nuts!

...and I can hear Lauren downstairs now complaining to Andy about it, and he's telling her that he didn't realise where it was she wanted picking up from cause he would have gladly done that, which is total bullshit because I told him exactly where it was and he said he didn't want to.

And some guy who used to like me is telling everyone that I slept with him while with Andy. I can't handle this much drama!

I have to be at my friend's house (and hour away) at 5am tomorrow morning so I can sell my junk at her yard sale...

I haven't even began to get everything organized yet, or load the truck. I don't want to do it cause I need to be sewing and everything is dusty!...

AND FREAKING FACEBOOK AND CO+K ARE TAKING OVER MY EVERY SPARE MINUTE!

I have to have an internet detox (one) day next week. ;)

Chipped my tooth on a sewing needle! Grrrrrr!

I'm still horribly sick. It got so bad I went to a walk in clinic last night. It's a sinus infection + sore throat from the drainage. I'm even ill to my stomach from the crud draining down my throat. To make things worse I have to be on a low-residue diet because I've been having diarrhea for a few weeks and it's irritating my skin. Normally I wouldn't mind no veggies or fruits, loves me some meat. But I never realized just how many things I like DO have that kind of stuff in it. Or whole wheat.

Dessah, how did you manage that?!

Since my breast augmentation, I've obviously gone up in clothes, but not by a lot. I've always been about size ten/twelve (UK) around the waist, but now I'm having to wear size 14 tops to make room. It's stupid, but that I can deal with. Today I went to H&M and tried on a size 14 dress - went easily around my body but nowhere near my chest. Size 16? Almost. I'm sorry, but it's ridiculous when someone with C/D cup breasts counts as a size 18. They just design clothes for girls with boy figures - and it's fine if you have that, but they shouldn't. Fashion industries design clothes for skinny women and then just multiply the fabric for bigger women, but it doesn't work like that - you need to add in extra room for curves! It's just annoying because now I have no idea what size I am, and I don't even have particularly big breasts.

I was using my teeth as pliers to help me pull the needle through a really tight spot. Sucks too, cause I didn't like the way it was going and had to take it all out!

I'm trying to design a hummingbird from scratch, and I'm not really sure what I'm doing! lol

Some lady today successfully got under my skin today. I work at JoAnn's Fabrics and yeah - as far as a store goes it can be fairly confusing with the vague sales signs etc etc but this woman gets her fabric cut and brought it to me while I was serving my hour at the register and I looked at her fabric and what she handed me didn't match what was on the cutting slip. So I had to locate the fabric and correct article numbers and redo everything so she'd be charged the correct price and to apologize for the inconvenience I even threw in a 40% coupon on one of the items.
She couldn't wrap her head around me refusing to charge her for 8 items and let her leave with 10, and then after reviewing her charges and explaining everything to her including the great deal I gave her for making her wait a few more minutes, she informs me she'll be back tomorrow to check with a manager. So I told her I was a manager and that I could assure her everything was right yadda yadda blah blah blah and she gave me a scathing look and asked if I'd be working tomorrow. I said "I'm sorry ma'am, I will not be in tomorrow" she goes "GOOD".
@&*$&%! *&%$#%@%%@^#&*!!!

Not like I didn't bend over backwards to try and accommodate her and saved her more money by correcting her slip and giving her a coupon, than she'd have spent if I'd not been thorough. Grrrrrrrrrrr.

It's Johnny Cash time.

My husbands best friend moved in two months ago. Ever since everything that can go wrong is gone wrong. His girl friend is rude two faced and mean. She is trying to make our living sitituation unbearable. I have tried so hard to go out of my way to make her feel confy in my home and all she does is bitch and complain saying my home isnt good enough for her. She didnt go home for a about 2 weeks and the other day i said "taylor, i know you've had a fight with your mom last week but its time to go home. you can come back tomorrow." and she slam my back door and left. Im sorry but i dont run a bed and breakfest. The girl does nothing but complain about my home why is she still here??? and to make matters worst she had the nevre to lie to the roomate and tell him i "Luna screamed at me and told me to get the fuck out of the motherfucking house because i didnt cleam up the mess i left in the hallway" WHAT?? am i wrong here? i need to know.

okay sorry to rant on again but i do need to get some things off my chest and into internet world lmao. here goes.
i work at mcdonals. been there 2 freaking years without a raise or even a simple promtoion. not because im not a good worker oh no. my boss even went as far as to tell me im one of his best employees but since i didnt hang out with him outside of work i am not eligable for a raise. WTF okay so almost 2 months ago my boss sold the store to someone who owned every store in my town. They told me they were interested in giving me mangement postion and a raise after my 30 days. okay so i work my ass off do idk how mcuh over time and... then at the 30 day mark i break my foot and have to call off. so i call off that day and go get a xray and doctors notes.. Doc wanted me to take a week off my foot and then go see a differnet doctor for a new cast.. so i took the week off. after i saw the new doctor he wanted me to take 3 weeks off NO can do. So i bring the doctors note (im on crutches now mind you) into work to talk to my new boss. I explain that i'd mcuh rather work then have so mcuh time off but i require a chair since i have one foot!. okay well so im going to work on cruches and now im prolly going to get fired because im too slow and i sit down inbetwen orders? ok and to make matters worse i got the flu from bein in the drive thru window for 2 weeks stright with the freezing cold air bleh bleh bleh and tuesday i went to work sick and throwing up and with my broken foot and they told me to suck it up. i ended up going home 2 hours early cuz i couldt stop throwing up.. so wensday i cazlled in sick,same with today cuz i have the flu and ill be damned if im going to work with the flu and a broken foot. so i called in sick this morning hackin on the phone and this lady who knew im sick says "you better have a doctors note or proff that ur sick or your gonna be sorry" wtf?? you were the one u sent me home sick lady!! GAH the only reason im even working with a broken foot to begin with was cuz they would have been short staffed and screwd. i hate people. im doing them a favor and since i got sick while doing said favor i will lose my job when my foot is better? REALLY. im sorry i dont have insurance to go to the doctor everytime i get the sniffels. no i dont have a doctors note but i was throwing up at work you'd think they be smart enough to realize im actually sick. so anyways since i broke my foot they told me that i am not "smart enongh to me worthy of a raise, since you are unable to walk without crutches" exact words. WHAT? seriously? so since i broke my foot i cant be a manger? how does that work? so two years being the perfect employee goes down the drain because im having a bad month. WOW. and the shit with my roomate. and my car died so now im without a car. i feel completlet useless. i cant support my family let alone walk up the stairs to the bathroom without help from my husband. How pathic am i?
