I just got done being the Easter Bunny. Now I'm all hot and sweaty and my hair went back to being wavy again. ;.;

I'll update this journal later, because I only have a few more minutes left for break. I'll probably edit it later than I plan, though, because I want to play more KH2 still. (I got it last Friday and still haven't gotten very far with it.)

By the way, I'm ashamed to say that I have a myspace now, in case you're interested.

Okay, I have updated for a month. -.-

I actually just took a quiz that I found in Katy's journal, but eventually I'll have a myspace up and running and I'll have a couple of journal entries about my past month.

And here I thought I'd be right back on the Internet once ToDAY was over. Nope, I was wrong. I've just been in a two-week long depression and showing ToDAY withdrawal symptoms. Anyway, on with this quiz thingy. Comments by me on this quiz later.

Your Existing Situation
Needs, and insists on having, a close and understanding relationship, or at least some method of satisfying a compulsion to feel identified.
(Um...how 'bout no?)

Your Stress Sources
Disappointment and unfulfilled hopes have given rise to an anxious uncertainty, while doubts that things will be any better in the future lead to the postponement of essential decisions. This conflict between hope and necessity is creating considerable pressure. Instead of resolving this by facing up to making the essential decisions, she is likely to immerse herself in the pursuit of trivialities as an escape route.
(Um...slightly accurate, but we won't go into detail with this one. I just find it slightly humorous that now all of a sudden the results changed the wording to "she is" instead of "you are," like the results are talking about me to someone else. It's kind of odd.)

Your Restrained Characteristics
Remains emotionally unattached even when involved in a close relationship.
Willing to become emotionally involved and able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity, but tries to avoid conflict.
(No comment whatsoever. And Molly, if there's anything going through your head about this, I don't want to hear about it.)

Your Desired Objective
Intense, vital, and animated, taking a delight in action. Activity is directed towards success or conquest and there is a desire to live life to the fullest.
(...and travel around the globe as a flight attendant! Yay!)

Your Actual Problem
The tensions induced by trying to cope with conditions which are really beyond her capabilities, or her reserves of strength, have led to considerable anxiety and a sense of personal (but unadmitted) inadequacy. She attempts to remedy this by intense activity and by insistence on getting her own way. Faulty self-control can lead to ungovernable displays of anger.
(I thought it would be funny to say, "I don't have anxiety or a sense of personal inadequacy" since the results say that it's unadmitted, but then I figured, that's exactly the kind of remark people would expect me to make. So I'll shock everyone and avoid making a comment that people would expect me to make. See, I'm just full of surprises.)

Your Actual Problem #2
Disappointment and the fear that there is no point in formulating fresh goals have led to stress and anxiety. She wants congenial contact with others and scope for development, but feels that her relationships are empty and her progress impeded. She reacts with an intense and zealous activity designed to achieve her aims at all costs.
(I'll admit that I don't have very many close friends, but does that mean my relationships are empty... @.@ That doesn't really work with "needing and insisting on having a close and understanding relationship," does it?)

By the way, you can find the quiz at http://colorquiz.com. Take it.

My vagina hurts. ;.;
Hannah sent me her love/care through something that has to do with Alan Rickman. She rearranged the letters on the refridgerator in the library's breakroom so they'd say, "EMILY IS MRS. ALAN RICKMAN." ^.^ So I added, "AND KIDS."

Oops. I haven't updated in the past couple of weeks. That's okay, though. I doubt anyone's been waiting on the edge of their seats, anyway.

Anyway, I suppose the reason is because I've been in one of my "bleh" sort of moods lately. I've been feeling unexplicably down lately, and I haven't been eating as much as I probably should (of course, I rarely do), and I've been randomly touchy and cynical throughout the past couple of weeks. But I haven't cried, so that's good. I've never actually cried for no reason before, so at least I know I haven't completely lost it at all or anything.

But, hey, guess what? It's Alan Rickman's 60th birthday today! ^.^ I made a comic and put together a birthday picture and stuff. I was going to make a 60 day long raffle thing on Gaia Online, but I decided not to. I'm not usually on the Internet long enough to maintain something like that. But that's okay. It's the thought that counts.

So, if you love me, send something my way. Preferably an Alan Rickman picture that has been edited in celebration of his birthday or something that has to do with him and his hotness.

So, yeah, I didn't go to school yesterday.

On Thursday I should have stayed home, but I didn't want to miss rehearsal (plus I'm missing it on Monday) so I went to school that day anyway because my mom would've kept me home from rehearsal, too. And Thursday would've been a good day to stay home, anyway. Because I wasn't feeling so great, I was a little irritable...but I finally realized how annoying Ashley is. We're doing a nutrient project in our Nutrition and Wellness class, and we got protein. So we're working on it in the library, and I'm looking up easy recipes that are high in protein that we could use for our demo. Everything I found, she turned down, because it had something in it that she didn't like. I expected her to turn down one or two things, sure, but she's a really picky eater and doesn't like a lot of things. (...which I don't understand. Maybe my logic isn't what it used to be, but why would someone sign up for a food class when they're a really picky eater? And why would you work at Dairy Queen's Orange Julius store when you've never liked smoothies to begin with?) This isn't the first time that she's been like this. Last semester, in our Frontier America class, we had to make a house out of side. After 15 minutes of whining about how disgusting it looked, she all of a sudden said that she was allergic to grass. Sure. How convenient that you just remembered. Luckily our group was allowed to merge with another group of three and we just gave her crappy jobs to do.

Okay, back to what I did Thursday. I did some character work on Lymen Lovejoy the Cattle Farmer and all three of my Satans. Rick Bush made me talk louder than usual, so that messed up my throat even more. So I stayed home sick yesterday.

Which, of course, was the day I had to talk loud enough to be heard on the phone because I got a call from the guy at Cedar Point for an interview over the phone. ^.^ (I applied online Thursday, and Jennie O. called him to say nice things about me.) If I'm lucky, I might have a job there. If I'm unlucky, I'll get a job there and the library can't put me on temporary leave, which means I'll lose my beloved job here. ;.; But I'll only work at Cedar Point as long as I don't have to sweep or do anything non-customer related. I'd rather not waste time getting experience I don't need when I could keep my current job and get a job waiting tables or something to get the required customer service time needed for a flight attendant job.

Anyways, I'm hoping Erin's mom lets her apply for a job at Cedar Point. Maybe then we could room together.

Ugh.  




Okay, the first time I ever saw Danielle (my co-worker...ish thing) was last year. Well, actually, it was during story time with Miss Nikki, but I don't remember that. But anyway, as far back as my memory goes, I first saw her last year. And I remember thinking, "She looks like she'd rather be anywhere else right now." See, I didn't understand that. Why would she not want to have a job at the library as opposed to having a job that involves people yelling at you because someone else put catsup on something they didn't want ketchup on (Hah. Two different ways to spell "ketchup/catsup" in one sentence. Beat that.).

But now, here I am. One year later. Wishing I could be somewhere else. -.- I want to be at ToDay's Rehearsal right now. I should call Erin later and asked her what we did. But first I have to call Molly, because I have an important announcement to make to her. (But that big announcement has nothing to do with me being pregnancy or anything.)

...Okay, my break's pretty much over.

Got bored. So I took a bunch of quizzes.



Slow and Steady

Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy.

They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder.

It'd really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment.

They expect you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then usually decide against it.
Okay, everyone, make sure you leave a comment and tell me if this is true.

Your Brain's Pattern

You have a dreamy mind, full of fancy and fantasy.
You have the ability to stay forever entertained with your thoughts.
People may say you're hard to read, but that's because you're so internally focused.
But when you do share what you're thinking, people are impressed with your imagination.
Sure.

Who Should Paint You: Alfred Gockel

All American yet funky, you inspire an artist's imagination
And while not everyone will understand your portrait, you will!
Thanks Devon for answering one of the questions for me!

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.

You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance.

Your ideal relationship is traditional. Without saying anything, both of you communicate with your hearts.

Your risk of cheating is low. Even if you're tempted, you'd try hard not to do it.

You think of marriage as something that will confine you. You are afraid of marriage.

In this moment, you think of love as something you don't need. You just feel like flirting around and playing right now.


Your Personality Is

Artisan (SP)


You are both grounded and flexible. You adapt well to new situations.
You are playful and free spirited - but you are also dependable and never flaky.

You don't do well in conservative, stuffy situations.
It's probably very hard for you to keep a normal job or stay in school.

You are always up for fun and adventure. Most people are too boring for you.
You take risks and bend the rules. And if things don't work out, you chock it up to life experience.

In love, you tend to take things quickly - but you have a huge problem with commitment.

At work, you need to make your own rules. You're best suited to be an entrepreneur.

With others, you are animated and physical. You prefer doing something with friends to just hanging out.

Yeah...but no.

Beverly Hills by Weezer

"My automobile is a piece of crap
My fashion sense is a little whack
And my friends are just as screwy as me"

You breezed through 2005 in your own funky style!
For the record, these quizzes so far are as accurate as they are inaccurate. -.-

How You Are In Love

You take a while to fall in love with someone. Trust takes time.

In relationships, you tend to be a bit selfish.

You need your space and privacy. You don't like to be smothered.

You love your partner unconditionally and don't try to make them change.

You are fickle and tend to fall out of love easily. You bounce from romance to romance.
...or so they would think, wouldn't they?

Your Blogging Type Is the Private Performer

Now I'll add my comments in here.

Your blog is your stage - with your visitors your adoring fans. ...or friends/minions. Whatever you call them.
At least, that's how you write with your witty one liners.</sarcasm>
And while you like attention, you value your privacy. Okay, they've got me there.
You're likely to have an anonymous blog - or turn off comments. But this isn't anonymous, and my comments are turned on. I win.
So, this quiz result is pretty much off, but since I took it and got this result, I'll put it up here.

Okay, so I'm sitting in the library during lunch and decided to go here to see what other movies Alan Rickman is in. I found out that he's actually going to be in two more movies coming out (not including "Harry Potter," because it's obvious he'll still be in those). One is "Nobel Son" and the other is "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer," which is apparently based off of a book. So if anyone is feeling generous...Emily would love to see these movies when they're out in theaters... ^.^

I swear...my mom is going to be the death of me.

Honestly, I'm not trying to sound like some over-dramatic teeny-bopper kid that is spoiled rotten but is still convinced that my parents hate me, but my mom defines "mood killer." Seriously, I now know where Jon gets his drama queen traits. The tiniest thing gets her in a depressive mood, and that brings everyone down.

Okay, I'll tell you what happened on the way home from ToDay since you're probably wondering where this all came from. (Of course, I don't know who I'm referring to when I say "you," because it's not like many people read this thing anyway.)

When the staff of ToDay Productions tries to gather people into a circle, they sing a song. This year, we have a slow song that puts people to sleep, and the only line I know is: "Love your neighbor as you love yourself."

When I was telling my sister about the old, bouncy gathering song, we started talking about the new one that came up this year. My sister mentioned the last line ("love your neighbor as you love yourself") and I said something like, "I guess I hate my neighbor, then." My mom caught that and the stick up her ass moved, and she all of a sudden started demanding why I hate myself.

Honestly, what does she expect? Look at how my life has been so far. I have very few friends, I don't do anything exciting ever, the only interesting perk in my life is ToDay Productions (which lasts only a few weeks), I've never been in any kind of relationship with anybody, and I've only had two major things happen in my life--one good, and one really bad. How does she honestly expect me to "love myself" when every time I look back on the past 17, almost 18 years of my life, I'm not even close to being happy with it? And how can I expect something out of my life when my one major goal is to not make the same mistakes she's made?

Now you're probably like, "Well, what mistakes has she made that you want to avoid so badly?" If you're not wondering that, then too bad, I'll tell you anyway.
1. She didn't go to college, cutting her off from her dream job.
2. She worked as a clerk at a library before she had children, which meant that she did the same boring, repetitive stuff day after day.
3. She got married before living with her husband, you know, in order to see if she could handle being married with him, and now she's miserable in her marriage.
4. She became a stay-at-home mom at the birth of my brother, her first child, which cut her off from having a strong social life, so now she's lonely and she only has me to unload her problems on.
5. She chose to live in Toledo, which provides very little excitement in her life.
6. And back to the marriage thing, she married a man that didn't love her as much as she loved him, so that adds to her misery.

In case you hadn't figured it out already, my mom's miserable with how her life is. I don't want to be like that, and so far, I am unhappy with how my life has been so far (good thing it's only been almost 18 years, though). Of course, I can't tell her all of this, so I'm stuck with a cold shoulder and depressing atmosphere around the house. At least she's letting me off easy this time.

Okay, I'm done ranting and raving, because now it's depressing me even more.
-----------------------------------------------
If anyone's curious to know, this is how I intend to run my life based on her mistakes:
1. I'm going to go to college and learn a couple of foreign languages, so when I become a flight attendant, I have a better chance of flying internationally, which will give me a good change of scenery every now and again.
2. Since I gave up on being a librarian and chose to be a flight attendant instead, I know I won't have the same boring job.
3. If, in the unlikely event that I will get married, I'll make sure I'm living with the bastard for a couple of years to make sure I can handle him when we actually have the damn marriage license.
4. I will not be tied down by children and I don't intend to isolate myself from people any more than I already do.
5. I will live in a big city, like NYC or something, and get out of the hellhole that is Toledo.
6. And if, in the unlikely event that someone will want to date or even marry me, I'll always make sure that he loves me more than I love him.

I finally realized what I want to do with the rest of my life. For the past few months, I was torn between being a librarian and being a flight attendant. But then something happened today at work that made me realize what I wanted to do.

Okay, being a page at the library is a lot like being a mailman. Just like how the mail never stops coming, neither do the books. No matter how many we put away, there are always more on the shelves behind the circulation desk. But for some reason, I never get bored. Then this little girl and her mom were at the library. She was probably about four-years-old. She left her mom and started wandering around and found me in the non-fiction section in the 600s. She started chatting away at me, talking about her favorite color and what was on "Dora the Explorer" a couple of days ago, when all of a sudden I realized: I liked listening to this little girl talk. And I like when random things happen at work that don't usually happen here every day.

Then I finally made my decision. I want to be a flight attendant. As a librarian, I'd rarely get a chance to see or experience something different every time I'm working. As a flight attendant, no day is the same as any day. It's all completely unexpected. And that's what I want in my life-long career. I want something different to happen every day.

Okay, that's all I have to say, mainly because my break's pretty much over.

And today is Katy's birthday, so go to KeddyPie's journal and wish her a happy birthday!

AH!  




This decades project for my Humanities class sucks butt. I don't know why everyone in my class AND my teacher were making a big deal about it. It's as boring as two hours of math class.

The Psychology project was a lot more stressful, but at least it was interesting.

Since the past few days have been so uneventful, I'll tell you about my grandma.

Yesterday was my grandma's birthday. But she's not my grandma. She's Nana. I won't tell you how old she is, because I don't know. Just know that she's old enough to have grandkids. Because that's what we call her.

So, her Friday the 13th birthday kind of sucked and went very well at the same time. She went for a check up at the doctor that day, and found out that she had clogged arteries. Apparently, it was so bad that she had to have open-heart surgery soon. So her doctor asked her if she wanted to wait until Monday for the surgery since yesterday was her birthday. Being the kind of person that she is, she said, "No, let's do it today and get it over with."

While all of this was going on, my Aunt Cheryl was calling my mom frequently to give her some updates. (Keep in mind that Nana lives in Kentucky, and that's why my mom wasn't rushing off to be with her mother.) The doctor had told them that while they were in the middle of surgery, they found out that 99% of her arteries were clogged, and she probably wouldn't have lived through the weekend without surgery.

Anyway, she got out of surgery at around 4-5 p.m. yesterday, and she's fine. Which is good, because if she died, my mom would be depressed and my grandpa would spend the rest of his life with my methane-filled, control-freak of an uncle.

The End.

"That's it. Get movin'."

Today brought everyone's mood down...at least at the end.

I found out that Erin's dog had to be put down. Erin and Sonya were crying at the rehearsal...and it was sad. So, to anyone that's reading this, tell Er-head and her family that you're sorry for her loss. Why? Because it's a nice thing to do...and I like seeing that I have reviews.

Anyway, to make things better, over a span of a couple of days, I have created the hottest desktop theme in the world. The desktop looks this and the welcome icon looks this.

Okay, Molly's on the phone, so bye!

Oh Em Gee, I am tired.

I went to the retreat last night, and it was a buttload of fun. But I'll do a journal-edit to this thing, because I don't feel like taking the time to finish it right now. I'm way too tired for that.

So today is the retreat for ToDAY Productions, and I have to work all day at the library. Normally that wouldn't bug me, but I'm going to be watching the clock all day because I can't wait to get there. Not to mention the fact that I can't wait to get home so I can eat...because I won't be doing much of that here. My lunch break started at 11:50, which means that it ends at 12:50. I called my mom and asked her to get me some McDonald's or something, and she told me that she had to drop something off first. That took place at around 12:00. I just called her at 12:30, and she was just pulling away from the driveway. So I cancelled that order, because I won't have time to eat it.

So now I'm left hungry and only ate a small bag of chips and a Snickers bar. ;.; It's not going to be 5:30 soon enough for me.

But anyway, yesterday my grandma took my sister and me out to see "Chronicles of Narnia" (actually not a bad movie) and we stopped at the Salvation Army on the way to the theatre so I could get my jean skirt and pair of jeans for the parts I play in the musical (we have to bring them with us to the retreat). It was kind of weird. Twilight Zone weird. There was only one jean skirt left (that we saw, anyway) and it fit me just fine, so we're like, "Oh. This is good." Then it got weird. First pair of size 1 jeans that I find, I try on. It fit me better than any pair of pants that I have ever owned. So I bought both of them, and by the time I got home, I decided that I was going to have to find a different pair of jeans to take to the retreat, because anyone in a career in fashion design or anything like that would slap me if I took a $5 pair of perfectly-fit jeans to be altered and put on stage.

It's my brother's 19th birthday today.

...but no one cares. Cool.

Yesterday I was called down to the counselor's office. I've been "approved" to work in the Computer Networking room as a teacher's aid. ^.^ Katy says I can help her clean, since she's pretty much the only one who does it. (But that's because she apparently can't keep her man-bitch busy.) But this is awesome-ness, so be happy for me! >u
