Woot. America is another year older. That makes it, what is it now...(2008-1776=...) 222 years. Oooo shiney a palindrome birthday.

Meh, yeah not overly exicted about this holiday this year. I'm stuck at work right now, and later will be dragged to some ridculous party that my parents friends are holding, where I will inevitabley be asked WAY too many questions about what I'm doing when I graduate from school (The answer, by the way, is I have no idea. And I'm really sick of people asking me that question, because very few people I know have like everything figured out for what happens after graduation.)

Would also like to say that I am going to slap my fucking manger at the hotel if she uses that disgusting baby voice of hers on me one more time. Grown women should not be talking like they have an IQ of like nothing, esp. not to someone who is not an infant. Grr. I miss my old manager, at least she didn't treat me like I was incompetent.

I'm really in need of like some more sleep, so I'll chekc back in with y'all later. Hopefully the day will have gotten better as well. Ciao!!

Another list. Because I like them. So There :P

Things that are Disappointing:

1. When you find out the cute guy you like is either gay or married.
2. No more English Muffins to mooch from work.
3. HBO sucking at life, when I finally get to watch it at work. (Seriously. I actually watched A Scanner Darkly last night. Talk about fucking weird ass movie!)
4. Realizing that I actually enjoy watching Angel reruns on TNT while I make breakfast at work.
5. Having to watch my summer TV show online, because I have class on Wed. night.
6. My Boss. World's biggest dumbass. Seriously. I miss my old manager. She at least knew how to do her job, even if she was a bit harsh at times.
7. Lack of good movies out in theaters right now
8. When the book you're reading turns out to be not so awesome sauce.
9. Having a job where I have to sleep during the day.
10. Not having a car. *pout*


Life's not bad too bad, I'm just tired and felt like making a list since this morning was a bit disappointing. Still Love you all.

The Big Read thinks that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed.
1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicise those you intend to read
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them ;-)

So is El-Jay broken or something? How come when I mess up a comment and want to delete it so I can fix it, it won't let me anymore???? SOMEONE ESPLAIN TO ME?!?!?!?!?!?!? Grrr! This is most frustrating.

Also compounded by the fact that it's absolutely freezing at work. They finally fix the A/C only to have it blasting away at artic temperatures 24/7. Dear Lord is there no happy medium with these ppl.

Still have not seen the supposed awesome that is Kung Fu Panda yet, as am still waiting for loserly guy friend to detach himself from his girlfriend's...whatever, to remember that he had friends before he had her and he promised said friends (mainly me) that he'd go see Kung Fu Panda with them. Someone please, PLEASE slap me silly if I ever become that entangled in my significant other. (Not that there's one in the nearby foreseeable future but w/e.)

Somewhat frustrated with the monotany of my job, which I chalk up to it being a small hotel and not near the center of the tourist area in town. It's not a bad job it's just, the same thing day after day.  To keep myself from being to frustrated I remind myself that I'm not going to be working in the hotel business forever, although I'm willing to bet that it'll probably be my first job out of college.

Have also decided that if I had the money I'd buy a Wii. They just look like way too much fun :D

Have also decided that I need an iPod. This silly business of CD switching is getting really old.

I should mention I'm taking Astronomy this summer, so I don't have to take a science class at my real school. I've decided that my teacher has spent a few too many years looking up at the stars. The man is out of his tiny little mind. And boring as hell.

Bah, well, have to go make breakfast and watch Angel.

(someone remind me to get the loose key on my keyboard fixed. It's bugging me!)

I used to think people were crazy for having air conditioning in New Mexico. At least here in Santa Fe. I mean we get along just fine with our ceiling fans in my house. But Nope. I was wrong. Air conditioning is a blessing sent down from God like the Manna from Heaven. Oh cool air, please, pl,ease come bestowe your glorious wonders upon me!!!!

Needless to say the A/C is broken at work. Well, the A/C in all the rooms works just fine cause they're all independent units. But the central cooling for all of the public parts of the hotel...completed dead. Like buried and dead. And the great King Asshole, Nish, who is like the owner's little bitch that makes sure everything runs like clockwork here, is like being a complete prick about getting in fixed, cause he's a cheapskate who'd rather save a buck then make sure the job's done right so we're not doing this again anytime soon.

In the mean time, it's like a sauna in here. I feel disgusting, like I'm swimming in sweat, and am half tempted to just go jump in the pool, work clothes be damned.

But other than that works' fine. Well, our manager just quit, and I actually liked the lady and I'm not super fond of her apparent replacement, but so long as my hours stay more or less the same, at least in quantity, and I don't get fired before school starts I really don't care. Nish was a complete asshat to the old manager always like telling her how she was like not doing her job, which was b/s, so yah for her for getting away from that negative energy.

Going to see my boys, The Spill Canvas this coming Sunday! WEE!!! SPILL CANVAS FTW!!!! They are such a great band. Now if only I can get another drum stick from Joe to match the one I got at Warped Tour last summer!

As for the NBA finals... FUCK THE LACKERS!!!! CELTICS ALL THE WAY MAN!!!!! WOOT!!!!! Yeah no, I refuse to support any team that has Kobe Bryant on it, I really don't give a rat's ass if he's got like skillz of awesome, he's just icky.

In other news, am taking Astronomy this summer to get my science credit. It sucks monkey butt. Will basically be cheating off my friend job who took the class last semester but had to drop out with 4 weeks left, for like financial reasons. Which bites for him, but yeah me!!! No work!!! (My teacher is the longest windest, least organized teacher I have ever met.)

Hopefully seeing the Awesome that is Kung Fu Panda this week. Or The Incredible Hulk. Either one is made of win.

Ok I have to go stick my head in the freezer now, before it like implodes from the heat. Bai nao!!!!!

Spontaneous Idealists are creative, lively and open-minded persons. They are humorous and dispose of a contagious zest for life. Their enthusiasm and sparkling energy inspires others and sweeps them along. They enjoy being together with other people and often have an uncanny intuition for their motivations and potential. Spontaneous Idealists are masters of communication and very amusing and gifted entertainers. Fun and variety are guaranteed when they are around. However, they are sometimes somewhat too impulsive in dealing with others and can hurt people without really meaning to do so, due to their direct and sometimes critical nature.

This personality type is a keen and alert observer; they miss nothing which is going on around them. In extreme cases, they tend to be oversensitive and exaggeratedly alert and are inwardly always ready to jump. Life for them is an exciting drama full of emotionality. However, they quickly become bored when things repeat themselves and too much detailed work and care is required. Their creativity, their imaginativeness and their originality become most noticeable when developing new projects and ideas - they then leave the meticulous implementation of the whole to others. On the whole, Spontaneous Idealists attach great value to their inner and outward independence and do not like accepting a subordinate role. They therefore have problems with hierarchies and authorities.

If you have a Spontaneous Idealist as your friend, you will never be bored; with them, you can enjoy life to the full and celebrate the best parties. At the same time, they are warm, sensitive, attentive and always willing to help. If Spontaneous Idealists have just fallen in love, the sky is full of violins and his new partner is showered with attention and affection. This type then bubbles over with charm, tenderness and imagination. But, unfortunately, it soon becomes boring for them once the novelty has worn off. Boring everyday life in a partnership is not for them so that many Spontaneous Idealists slip from one affair into another. However, should the partner manage to keep their curiosity alive and not let routine and familiarity gain the upper hand, Spontaneous Idealists can be an inspiring and loving partners.

Adjectives which describe your type

Working the Night Audit tonite (or is it now technically morning? Who cares) at the Hampton...

And I'm Bored stiff. I have to go start breakfast soon so I'll start this now.

Correction. I started this at 4am. It is now 6. So let me tell you about my wonderful night

1. Bitchy ass people that insisted on checking out at 1 in the morning, which meant I had like an hour to finish the night audit, which normally takes like 2 and a bit.

2. The downstairs hallway smells like pot. I swear to god I walked down that hall a good half a dozen times and every single time it smelt like pot.

3. The annoying guy who never fails to call at 2am and always scares the crap out of me cause no one I mean NO ONE calls during the night.

4. Absolutely everything except maybe the biscuits that I was supposed to make for breakfast was not there.

5. I totally split coffee all over the kitchen and partially on myself.

6. Then there was the bitchy ass greed bastards who took ALL the breakfast bags I made (which are supposed to be for people who can't stop to eat the real breakfast.) (I should also mention that these people were totally rude.)

7. So then I had to make MORE fucking breakfast bags

8. So that breakfast was NOT ready by the time the guy who runs the breakfast place arrived. and I felt really bad that he had to finish the stuff I was supposed to do.

9. Not to mention the super sketchy people that kept showing up wanting rooms

10. And the fact that I still have to deliver all the papers and then yell at David for being a total asshat about like spending 24/7/365 with his stupid girlfriend and like completely ignoring everyone he knew before they started going out.


So basically I just want to go home and fucking sleep until I'm dead. Yeah that sounds about right. And lucky me gets to do this all over again tonight. Oh. Joy.

This is what I get for being a total pushover and completely non-confrontational. I get stuck working the shitty shift and having all sorts of icky things happen to me.

Fuck people that get up early. Fuck people that have to get to hotels hella late at night. Fuck making nasty ass fake eggs for breakfast. And especially fuck all those stick up their asses Hilton Honors mother fuckers that thing they're so fucking awesome cause they've got this shiney little rewards card. FUCK YOU ALL YOU SNOTTY, STUCK-UP ARSEHOLES!!!!!!!!!

That is all. I'm going to go die now. Buh-bye.

-Do the laundry

-Eat all of the food that will spoil in my apartment (which is a lot for a week and a bit)



Fuck. Me. I'm so going to die.

Hokay so....here's the rundown of things to Spazz about:

-The play I'm stage managing is opening this Wednesday!!! Ok, so I may not like the majority of my cast all that much as people right now, but as actors they're putting on a kick-ass show.

-Just saw a behind the scenes segment about the movie version of Twilight, the vampire novel by Stephenie Meyer that's one of my favorite books right now. And by the looks of it it's actually going to be awesome.

-The Forbidden Kingdom with Jet Li and Jackie Chan comes out this Friday! Must go and see on Saturday for kung-fu ass kicking of awesome.

-Less than a month of school left and then I'm a senior. Freaking-a where did all the time go. I feel old.

-I have to write a paper about 4 film adaptations of Hamlet and how they treat the end fight scene between Hamlet and Laertes in regards to the original stage directions by May 7th. Dear lord.

-I have to either figure out how to see a professional production of a play ASAP or figure out how to bullshit a review about one.

-Have to get paperwork and such done by Wednesday for the plays I want to submit for directing next year. (Not that I've got a great chance at getting picked, but I've got to at least try!)

-Have to register for Fall classes at 8am on Wednesday (bleck, what is it with people and 8am. nothing should start until 9 at the earliest, preferably 10)

- Forgot, also have to learn, practice and perfect two final fight scenes for Renaissance Stage Combat Class. And my partner is super busy as well.

-Have to finish choreographing and then practice final dance for Dance of Hawaii.

-Must work ass off in Accounting to achieve B, so that I can graduate with some sort of honors. I am THIS close to a 3.5 to get Cum Laude!!! And Magna is only a 3.7, which is like possible. Maybe.

-Must figure out what I'm doing in Marketing Project, since have been a bit MIA due to previously mentioned play. At least my group people are fairly chill. Still feeling bad that they've been doing everything and that I missed our meeting this weekend since I wrote down the wrong day. Oh wells.

-Must go fight with Business school in order to get them to recognize that I am a freaking minor so I can take the last 3 classes I need for the minor.

-Figure out where the fuck I am living next year. God damn lack of a car and non-guaranteed housing. Sometimes I really hate the way this school works. (Esp, the fact that athletes and the honors kids get housing no matter what year they are. Which in my opinion is a bunch of bullshit. Just cause you run around playing with balls or taking supposedly harder classes than I do does not give you the right to get a place to live whilst I get the shaft.)

Umm, can't think of anything more and I really should get to bed and stuff, even though I'm not super tired. Oh well. If I don't post again by the 23th it either means I died from the pressure or my computer died.

Ciao Bellos

Dear </a>brennando
I don't really know how to tell you this, but  you're a pervert.  I think I realized it when I changed tennis shoes outside of Chicago and I saw you carve your initials into my avocado plant.  I'm sure you're ashamed enough to understand That Santa doesn't exist.  I'm returning your ring to you, but I'll keep your neighbour Martin as a memory.  You should also know that I always will remember To hate the Boston Celtics.
Fuck off now,
-Ebs-

Pretty much as the title says, I'm feeling small and insignificant.

I got a bit smashed on Thursday night and I'm 95% sure made a complete ass of myself in front of people that I shouldn't have, not to mention that i left my purse with my phone in it, at the place where the party was, so that didn't get back to me until late on Saturday. And my phone has mysteriously disappeared out of my purse.

These same people had another party yesterday and I wasn't invited. So now of course being the insecure and guilt ridden person that I am, assumes that they didn't invite me because of the complete dumbshit I was on Thursday. Which in all fairness is a bit hypocritical if you ask me, cause every single one of them has been a dumbshit before in his or her lives.

This is all probably an indication that I shouldn't drink, or at the very least not get drunk, but I dunno.

Not to mention I was the one who brought all the poison to the Thursday party anyways, so that's probably why I was tolerated. And they all still freaking owe me money, cause that was like 40 dollars worth of shit, pretty much only one person has paid me their share of the cost.

But basically I just feel really small and insignificant and a little bit stupid and pretty much invisible.

Feeling super crappy as our favorite Red Friend has made their appearance at last. Though I'm grateful it wasn't while I was in Europe still not a fan.

Considering spending my Target gift card on Season 1 of GRΣΣK when it comes out next week. That or Across the Universe.

Have to finish this annoying Tree-Man costume thing by 2pm on Friday. Not a fan of the way it's turning out but whatever. I'm doing the best I can with what I have to work with and within the design the director made. Still not a huge fan.

And will be missing College Fest (our huge spring concert) to take said costume to my friend's senior thesis film and then help out. Not super disappointed since the performers are Hellogoodbye and Wyclef Jean. Not a fan of either one. I'm actually kinda pissed they can't get anyone more currently popular for those of us that are not super big rap/hip-hop fans. But then it again it is mostly a bunch of dumbasses in ASLMU.

Annoyed with certain people in my life that keep trying to take advantage of me. I'm super sick of being treated like everyone's bitch. I seriously think there must be some sort of neon sign over my head that I can't see that reads "PLEASE ABUSE ME!" So need to figure out how turn this off.

Will be doing a recap of Spring Break for all you lovelies later this week. And hopefully have some pictures as well to include. YEAH IMAGE POSTS!!!!

Also can't sleep. Sucks to be me.

If you could please deliver the following message to Sam, where ever he is, what ever he is now, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks


Dear Sam,

I miss you so much right now. Which is strange to me since I haven't missed you this bad for a few weeks right now. Don't be mad at me, but I didn't go to see Laramie. I couldn't, well really I wouldn't. It hurt, so much to even think about going, I just couldn't do it. I also haven't actually gone and picked up my copy of California Suite because I know it will make me cry even though you were hilarious in it. I hate that I was mad at you. I hate that I hated everyone who was involved in the whole thing, Micheal, Kevin, Jim, the school. I hate that I said those things at Gage's house. Even though I meant them at the time. I wish I had your natural affability. I know I can't make people like me, but all the same I wish I had your way with them.

Sometimes I feel so ridiculously stupid talking to someone whom I could hardly call an accquiantence let alone a friend. Sometimes I feel like such a fraud feeling this distraught about the whole. I feel like everyone looked at me and was all, shut up you have no right to be this sad, you didn't know him like we did. I feel so small and useless and insignificant. And sometimes it feels like I'll never be happy again. I look back and I wish I hadn't gone on facebook, or I wish I hadn't noticed all the stuff people wrote on your wall, or wish I'd just not woken up that morning. Just so I could have had that much more time believing that the universe was alright. I believe the universe is balance so someone pretty damn fucking awesome had better have been born to replace you. Because if there is a god who does control the balance and he sent some mediocre soul in to fill the gap you left in the universe, I don't care if he is god, I will kick his fucking ass from one of the universe to the other and back again.

God I miss you. I miss you so fucking much Sam. Nobody ever made me smile the way you did, or could cheer me up as easily and you did and the par that kills me so much is that you didn't have to. I wasn't really you friend and you didn't have to be so nice but you were. And it makes me feel like a horrible person because I have so much anger and hate in me. I would give anything to see you just once more, anything. If I had to spend the rest of my life not acting it would be enough, because the world feels so empty some days without your light in it. I am so sick of having to bury people, esp people younger than me. I feel like a have this giant hole in my heart that doesn't seem to get any smaller no matter how much time passes.

Anyways if you're out there in the ether somewhere, just give me a sign or something that you're all right. I don't want to tie your soul to this life with my grieving, but I just miss you, and i need to know you're all right. k?

Your friend forever,
Eibhlin with a B

I'm so tired I just want to fall of the face of the earth.

You are 11:59 a.m.

You are late-sleepy relaxation, the half-awake moment when you realize it's morning, but you don't have to get up, because there's no place you have to be.
You are that cozy spot under the covers where everything feels temporarily perfect, even if you know you'll
eventually have to wiggle out and start the day.
Maybe you're the artistic type, who doesn't function well on a normal schedule.
Sleep's important to you, and you like the freedom of sleeping as late as you want (especially since that is closely related to the freedom to stay up as late as you want).
You like to roll out of bed, put on some comfy clothes, and get a laid back start to the day.
If not everything on your list gets accomplished, no worries.
Your only priority is having no priorities – you just want to take things at a slow, mellow pace.


Hmm, well
I guess this true. I do love that warm fuzzy spot under the covers.

Choose 10 characters (preferably from the same fandom) and answer the questions that follow. No peeking until your list is done!

Heh, I didn't want to copy Elle and choose Avatar so I went with the first fandom I could think of that had ten characters of importance... The world of TORTALL, the background country for Four of Tamora Pierce's series that span about two generations.

1. Alanna of Trebond, Olau and Pirate's Swoop, The King's Champion
2. George Cooper, Baron of Pirate's Swoop and former King of the Rogue, the thieves of tortall
3. Jonathan "Jon" Conte, King of Tortall
4. Thayet of Saraine, Queen of Tortall
   
5. Buriram "Buri" Tourakom, a K'miri and Commander of the Queen's Riders
   
6. Raoul of Goldenlake, Commander of the King's Own
7. Numair Salmalin, Mage of Supreme Awesome
8. Veralidaine "Daine" Sarrasri, the Wild Mage
9. Keladry "Kel" of Mindelan, a Lady Knight of Tortall
10. Alianne of Pirate's Swoop, Daughter of Alanna and George, now Spy Master of the Queen of the Copper Islands

sdlfkjeiofnkenveiruqhwkefnrklgnasiuhk  :(  head hurts.   grey and rainy and yucky and windy outside, is not fan.

Dumbass that I am walked into the wrong class today and sat there for 30 minutes before realizing I was supposed to be in directing and not accounting. Granted I do take accounting with the same teacher (so it's basically the same class.) but that's supposed to be after directing. Feeling very very stupid.

Very much wishing I could channel Rip Van Winkle right now. 100 years of sleep seems a fair trade for getting really old in the process. I'm so tired and i feel so icky.

I need to remember to go to like best buy or something this weekend and find out if i need a brand new external hard-drive or just a new usb cable for the hard-drive (the IT people here at school are a complete joke. they basically get paid to do nothing. bastards.) I should totally be doing my homework now, but I really don't want to read the Laramie Project. I'm not in the mood for depressing play of doom right now. Why can't we ever read anything happy? Seriously the only happy book I ever remember reading in high school was The Little Prince. And I guess A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Anyways, yeah, I'm just happy Ugly Betty is on again tonight. HENRY VS GIO LIKE WHAT!!!!!! (Go Gio!) *is shot*

Soooooooo, it's been awhile my compatriots.

I've become an insomniac again. On the bright side I just got the gig as Stage Manger for my school's production of "The Duchess of Mafli" and it's going to be awesome!!!!! We're going goth and I gets to have authority and power and respect (well that last ones a bit dodgey, I don't really think my image comands respect). Granted should everything fall apart when the show goes up, I get blamed. But we'll worry about that come April. Yeah, not inviting my parents to see this though. It's like Rocky Horror, but without all the singing and dancing and humor. Still, I'm excited, it's good practice for when I hopefully direct next year.

Uh, school's good, slightly bitter still about the not getting to study abroad thing, but I'm going to Europe for Spring Break, so it's not too terrible. Bets are that Marketing will be like getting a root canal, accounting is shaping up to be less craptastic than I thought. My teacher at least makes the class interesting. And I'm sitting in the front so I'll pay attention. Vocal Development is, meh, I'm not a fan of certain people in the class, but others are super awesome so I can live with it. Costuming will be fun cause I get to help work on a movie set! Well it's a senior thesis project, but it should be super awesome. And I might get to be in the movie. I just signed up for Directing on Friday, so I have no idea what that will be like. My favorite classes I only get to go to once a week, but they are both such a work out I don't think I could handle more. Tues nights is Dance of Hawaii. Right now we're learning the traditional form which is all done with bent knees. It starts to get to you. And then Fridays is Renaissance Drama in Action, i.e. learning stage combat as it pertains to Renaissance Plays. Basically I'm going to get to learn how to make it look like I'm beating people up, or sword fighting with them.

And since 95% of my classes are on tues./thurs. my mondays and wednesdays are rather slow. At least it gives me time to muddle through my more difficult homework. Not that I did any this weekend even though i should have. I got a manicure on friday and then spent the last three days just being decadently lazy.

I'll continue tomorrow,but for now I need to go attempt to sleep regardless of my insomniac tendencies.

toodles ;-*
