Okay, so I know I was complaining about my manager before, but now I feel really bad. She called on New Years Eve to tell me I didn't have to come in. Then she actually appologized for booking me that day. I felt so bad for complaining about it. I really should've just sucked it up. It worked out for the best though because I ended up getting super-sick that night. I was throwing up until 6am. I didn't fall asleep until about 7am. Then I slept until noon when I decided to get up and brush my teeth. I felt really hot, so I sat down on the floor. I almost fell asleep there. It was that kind where you are awake but you can't force yourself to move, you know? Anyway, I got up and went downstairs around 2pm and then went back to sleep. I got up at 7:30pm and watched TV. I felt better by then. I think it may have been food poisoning.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that I felt bad about my manager. You know, one time she was eating her lunch in the back. I was up front with the customers. I had to ask her a question about the nuts so I went into the back. I don't know why, but seeing her sitting there eating reminded me of a lonely little child. It was kind of depressing, though I am not entirely sure why.
My friend is applying to work with me, so I want her to be hired. That would be sweet. We'd have sooo much fun together.
Starting tonight, I have 3 4-hour shifts to work by myself. :( That's gonna be boring. Tonight, though, my friend is coming in so I can tutor her while I work. The store is usually really dead so it won't matter.
I'm in my English class right now. My teacher thinks that I should read a story from the New Yorker called God the Novelist. If there are weird tags around that, it's because I was trying to italicize it.
So I'm going to hunt down the story. If you want to read any of my stories, go to my stories site. Click here.

Let's Waste Time Chasing Cars
Lol that video I posted from YouTube, I am in fact aware that it is posted twice. Just wanted to point that out. This site just wouldn't let me post it only once so yeah...
You know how I said my fave person to work with quit?? Well, today was her last day. *tears* I'm so sad she's gone because she was so much fun to work with!!! I mean, I love working with everyone else (except my manager, but I guess that's mostly bearable), it's just that she was soo awesome. Anyway, I'm cutting down my hours soon, so that won't be too bad. I need to do it because it's interferring with school work.
Okay, so all of the sudden I'm working on New Years Day. What the hell??? I totally wasn't and then my manager was like "oh, I'm working with you on Monday." And I was like "Um, I don't work Mondays." She said that I should have brought it up sooner that I couldn't work that day and that the schedule had been posted for the last 2 weeks. Okay, right...I have only read my schedule like 90 times in the last 2 weeks and never seen it...Yeah and those eraser marks on someone else's time totally have nothing to do with the fact that I randomly was given a shift I can't work. Bloody people always changing my hours so I don't know about it. Seriously. Not cool.
My friend stopped by work for awhile today. That was fun. I went on my break and chilled with him for a bit. I have known him forever. Seriously. He's older than me, so I have litterally known him since I was a few days old. Just to clarify, he's my half-sister's half-brother. If that makes any sense...His other sister is one of my best friends.
Damn it! I think I'm getting a cold. I hate colds. Seriously I mean, my nose isn't stuffed (knock on wood). Unfortunately, I'm losing my voice (so not cool, since I just got a kareoke machine!). I'm gonna fill myself up on cough syrup tonight and sleep all day tomorrow. Then hopefully when my friend sleeps over tomorrow, we can sing.
Anyways, I gotta go. I hope everyone had happy holidays and an awesome Christmas. I got so much jewelry!! I felt so expense after lol. <3

We Used to be Friends...A Long Time Ago
Ouch, I haven't eaten anything today. Holy crap! I just realized that I skipped both breakfast and lunch. All I have had were like 2 pieces of an aero bar...No wonder my stomach is making noises lol. I guess I am past the stage of real hunger though...You know? When you've gone so long without eating that you forget you're hungry? Oh well, I'll eat something later...BTW: I'm not like aneorexic or anything. I just forgot. I do eat. I might as well just wait for supper at this point, though.
So a week ago, I met this girl on the bus. She just randomly started talking to me. LOL it was interesting though, because I've known who she was since elementary school (she didn't remember that we went to the same one) but we'd never spoken before. I thought it was interesting that she knew who I am. I was like "By the way, I'm Stephanie" and she's like "Oh I know that" ... I was like "how??" because like I said, she didn't remember me from elementary. Mind you, not many people remember me from that time, since I had shorter hair and glasses. Also I wore terrible clothing. I'm actually glad that they don't remember me. Anyway we just started talking, which was pretty cool. She was actually really nice. I like when you can just talk to people without needing a reason, you know?
Well, I make new friends a lot, but sometimes it's nice to stay in touch with the old ones. I do have several old friends, who I've known seemingly forever. A lot of my best friends from junior high, though, I don't talk to anymore. One of them moved to another city, so that's understandable, but the others I guess we just grew apart...I miss them, though. Sometimes we smile at each other in the halls at school, but I miss chilling with them. Having marathons of The O.C. and going to the mall (though we barely bought anything). I especially miss the girl that moved. She was like my BEST friend in the summer before high school. I think we hung out like four times a week. We saw virtually every movie in theatres, we went to the mall a lot, we'd have marathons of TV shows. We just had sooo much fun together. She was even able to drag me to WWE shows at the movie theatre. I think one of our best times was definately the Backstreet Boys concert. She didn't think I had fun (because I'm not that much of a fan) but I really did. She almost passed out though because she's pretty much in love with them! I wish she was still here. I hope I can see her again sometime. It's too bad we drifted apart before she moved. I miss the way things were...
Last May, my uncle died. He was awesome. He was so funny and so happy. I miss him a lot. The thing is, though, I don't cry for him. I know that he wouldn't want us to. I believe that he's in a better place, like Heaven. Why cry for someone if they are in Heaven, right? Mostly, I just feel bad for my aunt. Their love was the real thing. No question. They went through so much together, and now they can't even enjoy the best years of their lives. This will be my aunt's first Christmas without him. I hope it's not too painful for her. This is her favorite season (it's mine too) and I don't want it to be ruined for her...
In case you were wondering about the title of this entry, it's a song lyric from the theme to Veronica Mars. It's definately one of my new fave shows. I started watching it last summer, but I only saw like three episodes. I continued to tape it, but I didn't watch any of the episodes. So this weekend I discoverd that I had like 15 episodes stored on my TiVo and I was like "hey, I should watch some of these..." And now I am soooo beyond addicted. Seriously, it's an amazing show! I love it.
This weekend was pretty boring. I worked every fricking day and now my feet still hurt. Thankfully I was working most of it with the really awesome girl (so sad, cuz she quit!!!). Honestly, I think the highlight of working yesterday was when we found the pretty bags in the back to use. That's telling you something...
Christmas Count: 6 days, 6 hours, 4 minutes
I think that's all for now. Plus, I was supposed to start my essay about two hours ago. I should really do that.

Things I've Noticed About One Tree Hill
Okay, so let's start off with I don't care anymore about the whole Lucas/Peyton/Brooke storyline. I was a die-hard Brucas fan, but I'm fairly confident that is because of Chad and Sophia having been married. I was never a Leyton fan. In fact, the only couple I care about is Naley (I will cry soooo hard if they break up). It just seems to be repetitive now. It's like get over it already. I know that people can be confused, but last year, Lucas was professing his undying love for Brooke and now he's saying it's Peyton. Brooke, I understand. She was sick of feeling insecure so she stopped loving Lucas in the process. She had been through a lot for him. Peyton didn't have feelings for Lucas at all in season two and it was only in the second-last episode of season three that suddenly she was like "I love Lucas!" Seriously, out of no where. Also, don't you think it's time that Brooke and Peyton stay friends??
Another thing, is Lucas afraid of Brooke? Like, he had to wait for her permission to go and see Peyton after winning the championship. It's as though he thought Brooke would kill him if he did it. And he is always defending himself around her. Sorry, but that boy needs to grow a friggin spine.
Why was Brooke so angry at Luke in the other world?
Karen's baby is gonna have some weird connections to others when it is born. Seriously, here's what I figured out:
Karen's baby will be Lucas' sister/bother, but also his cousin. This baby will also be Nathan's cousin, as well as his brother's brother/sister. It will be Dan's niece/nephew but also his son's sibling. It will be Haley's husband's cousin, but also her best friend and brother-in-law's sister/brother. It will be Haley's baby's cousin once removed, but also it's uncle's sister/brother. Weird, huh?
Oh and in case people haven't noticed, 23 is a recurring motif in the show. Here's another thing I found. The Ravens win the game with 23 seconds left on the clock. 23 is an important number in OTH history. The premiere of the first season was on the 23rd, Nathan's jersey number is 23, 23 was a number in Dan's safe combination, it was a song by Jimmy Eat World which was played in the background of an episode and Haley has the number tatooed on her lower back. 23 is also painted on a rock outside of Tree Hill High.
Anyhow, I don't feel like talking about my own life today, which is why I was talking about OTH.

Things to Know About Me and my Weird Dream
Well aside from being really happy that One Tree Hill is on tonight, I really have nothing to say. Oh, and I got in trouble for coloring my friend's project because apparently that is plagerism...Lame, but whatever...Gets me out of arguing with her that I really don't have to write stuff for her (not that I would do it, but it's still annoying when she asks). So, I'm going to make a list of favorites...Things everyone needs to know lol.
Favorite Songs: Charlotte's Stars (Modern Red), Elsewhere (Sarah McLaughlin), Let Me Fall (Bethany Joy Galeotti), 23 (Jimmy Eat World), City of Devils (Yellowcard)
Favorite Bands/Artists: Spice Girls, The Flaming Lips, Modern Red and Bethany Joy Galeotti
Favorite Actors: James Lafferty (!!!), Lee Norris, Justin Chambers, Patrick Dempsey, George Clooney
Favorite Actresses: Sophia Bush, Bethany Joy Galeotti, Danneel Harris, Kate Walsh, Katherine Heigl, Joely Fisher, Shannen Doherty
Favorite TV Shows: One Tree Hill, Grey's Anatomy, Ellen, Ghost Whisperer, How I Met Your Mother
Favorite Movies: Walk the Line, John Tucker Must Die, Another Day (TV)
Favorite Books: Confessions of a Shopaholic, The Boy Next Door, The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies, A Rose For Melinda
Favorite Quotes: "The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference, because to hate, one must care." , "Every song comes to an end, but is that any reason not to enjoy the music?" , "The fact is, I couldn't give a damn what I'll miss if I die, it's what I'll miss if I live I worry about."
Favorite Passtimes: singing, writing, drawing, watching my fave shows
Favorite Smell: Cookies (chocolate chip and peanut butter!!)
Philosophy: Everything happens for a reason...
Dream: Well, I guess my dream is to be successful in life, basically. I want to have a family and a career. I think I'll probably go into something creative, since I love to write.
Names of Future Children (lol): Girls - Melinda, Abigail, Sophia or Lilly...Boys - James, Austin, William or Cole
Something Nobody Knows About Me: Well, until now...Umm...I cheated on a test in grade eight, although I told my teacher what I did cuz I felt bad. But I didn't rat on any of my friends because I didn't want them to get in trouble.
Place I Want to Travel: Italy and Scotland...
Anyway, that's all I feel like answering. I just have one more thing to say before I go, though. I was asked once to described the weirdest dream I've ever had. Well, all of my dreams are super strange, so that was difficult. The dream that stands out the most is one where I'm not even sure I was asleep. I closed my eyes for a second and opened them again. During that brief moment, though, I walked down the stairs of a house I'd never seen and a little girl stood at the door below. She was looking out the window. She turned to face me and asked, "When are we leaving?" Then I was awake again...The thing is, though, this little girl wasn't me when I was little. Trust me, I was practically blond as a kid and this girl had dark brown hair. She only looked a little like me, which made me think maybe she was my daughter or something...I dunno, but it was cool.
I'm going to work on a story now (called The Mold that Clings like Desperation).

Happy Boys and Happy Girl We'll Be
LOL do you remember Aqua??? I miss them. Not as much the Spice Girls, but still. I'm listening to them right now.
Just missed 2 days of school cuz I got my braces. They are more annoying than anything else. I don't look like a total freak with them on which is good. Everyone says they look cute. My problem with them is that now I look younger...I always looked older, so now I look my age. *tear* Also, I haven't been able to eat real food since Wednesday morning. I've seriously been living off of yogurt, chocolate and cheese. Which, you know, isn't terrible cuz I like these foods but sometimes, you just wanna eat something substantial. Like, I dunno, I could really go for grilled cheese and carrots and chips and damn I'm makin' myself SO humgry right now...But really, I've had enough Hershey Kisses to last me awhile. Thank goodness the recall is over, though. I'd be lost without 'em.
LOL since my mom has never had braces and my sis had a terrible pain tolerance, I've been freaking treated like so weird. My mom's like "You're such a trooper. You have such a high pain tolerance." I don't, though, these things are just kind of that irritating pain, not really the kind that you think will kill you. Haha, I friggin can't even stand a paper cut. Well, I can, but they hurt. At least I don't cry from them, right?? My sis cries at a friggin broken nail...
I just found out that my English teacher wrote a book, so I'm trying to find it on Amazon, since I know it's not in any libraries. Wish my luck...
I missed so much work while I was gone!!! 2 fricking days and I had to make up 2 quizzes, and do half of a unit for math. *rolls eyes* At least I'm good at school, right?? I like summer school better cuz it's so slack. I'm gonna take it again this summer since I liked it so much last year. I take it to get ahead, though, not because I failed. There weas this one kid thought who had failed social 20 like a zillion times! I swear, and then he would come in like 2 hours late to a four hour class. I think my teacher just passed him because he didn't want the guy to repeat it again. Stil, though...But I met awesome people there and some of them are still my friends <3 shout out to summer school people!!!
Damn pop-up and other programs which keep coming up while I'm typing this....AAAAAAAAAAAHH.
Have I ever mentioned that I hate computers!!!!!
Anyways before I take a sledge hmmer to this comp, I'm gonna go.
