mememememememememe.

i was invited to do this meme by Cosmo
so i'll do it!

Princess Diana's death – 31st August 1997

i vaguely remember this. not that it was not important, but because of the fact that i was about 9 years old. i was probably not looking forward to school and so on and so forth. what nine year olds do in august.

Margaret Thatcher's resignation – 22nd November 1990

i was even younger here, i feel like my meme is not going to be
very interesting. i was too young to be aware of this. not really,
actually i was probably too young to care, really. because i was 2.
a fine age, if i might add.

Attack on the Twin Towers – 11th September 2001

i remember this one! i was in 7th grade. social studies class. a few kids came into the class and there was an announcement that we all had to turn on the tv's and whoever didn't have a tv was to turn on the radio. they also set up tv's in all the lunch rooms. we had a radio in our room, and i remember not really knowing what was going on, and being more interested in socializing [what a shame...] it didn't hit me until i got to my best friend's house after school and we watched what was going on on the news. we were also worried about her aunt and uncle who lived near the towers. we finally heard from them but it was terrible to think about. very scary.


England's World Cup semi-final v Germany – 4th July 1990

again, i was two. sorry!


President Kennedy's Assassination – 22nd November 1963

i was far from being born. i have read about it. tragic.

ha, sorry i could not make this very interesting, considering i am
still quite young. i guess i am supposed to pass this on.
i would if i had someone who i knew that actually blogged.

ah, oh well.

thanks for randomly choosing me,
anyways,cosmo!

sad news.




seymour was kidnapped today some time
between 1:3op and 2:oop.
:[[[

this sounds ridiculous but i am not kidding.

i cleaned out his temporary home
and put new dirt and leaves and stuff
in there for him and closed him up nice...
i came back from my lunch and he was gone.
his "cage" was closed...but he was nowhere to be found.

i can't believe someone would do that.

i was going to bring him home today, too.

i hate everyone.
because everyone is a suspect.

my top list:

-creepy kid in carryout, because
he always tried to see what i had
in the box.
-morris because he likes escargot,
however i do not think he is that cruel.
-justine lingenfelter...
just because she is my arch-enemy,
and she paid no attention to the MISSING SNAIL sign.

that's all i have for now.

dreamworld.

so i have a pet snail.
his name is seymour.
he came to me on a tropical plant
that arrived in the floral dept.
he is adorable, not even kidding.

i'll get pictures of him once i bring him home.
;]

-mints.

i will sing you songs.

i got an i-pod! finally!
my brother's both got i-pod touches,
so i got one of their older ones.
yayyyy.

also, i am super sunburnt.


and one more thing, i don't have any
use for it...but hardcandy makeup
is having a sale, EVERYTHING 75% off...
hardcandy.com...
thought i'd put that out there, it's
a shame to miss a sale like that if
it's something you like! go crazy!
i might pick up some fake eyelashes.

for now i will watch intervention online.

-mints.

so much for a plan.

so much for the diet.
i ate a deep fried snickers at the fair.

but a lady at work told me i look
like i lost a lot of weight.
which is strange, because i don't
feel like it.

tomorrow my boo and i plan
on going to crystal beach.
then i have riding at 5:30.
what a lovely day off.

-mints.
sometimes i feel like screaming;
telling the whole wide
world how much you mean to me,
how you let me be myself.
but i know they wouldn't care.
sometimes i feel like screaming;
to tell the world how alone i feel.
and it's not your fault.
i make myself cry
because i think too deeply.
i don't think anyone would understand fully,
but at least i feel like maybe you could.
which is saying a lot.
i hide.
you can probably count on your fingers
how many times you've seen me visibly upset.
but i can assure you it has been more than that;
i hate hiding.
it doesn't make me strong
like i pretend it does.
but i like pretending;
that everything is perfect.
there is no such thing as perfect...
even i know that.
i don't even know where this is going.
i am typing aimlessly;
these usually get deleted before i hit publish post.
i refuse to believe i can fake happy to the point
where i fully convince myself.
i know i have been happy.
i just don't know why it's the little things
that bring me down.
i can take the big things gracefully;
or maybe that's part of my defense.
maybe the big things burrow, until enough
little things coax them out;
like worms in the rain.
isn't it funny how i only bring up
things that sting when i'm at a safe distance?
i don't know how to talk to people about these things
because i can't sort them out for myself.
maybe i should make a list, a chart, a graph...
i sound crazy.
i'm stopping here.
i'll see you in the morning and
i will be smiling.
and i will be sure that i am happy.
but i can't tell.

oh, and.

i'm going to start a diet&workout plan.
i want to lose 20lbs.
at least.

i really need to crack down.
no more pop, at all.
goodbye, MD...you know i'll always love you.

no more unhealthy snacks.
jsdkfljlsafjsdf.
IM FAT, SON!

i lost 20lbs when i worked at darien lake
just from all the walking, and drinking water.
i mean i'd go home after working 10-10,
and eat a whole chicken finger dinner.
i'd have cheeseburger and fries for lunch,
and i still lost 20lbs.
but then after i was skinny... i was like yo
im skinny now, i can eat whatever i want.
and now i'm back to my old weight.
;[
i'll fix this!

hahahha,



i laugh every time i watch that.

anyways, i don't feel well today.
no riding til next week.
lazy day.

-mints.

;]

so my interview took all but a few minutes.
then we went to the fair!
we stopped in record theatre, as always
then went in the fair at like, one something,
walked around. went to pet the horsies.
then all the other animals.
i fed the goats, and zebus and such.
then we went on the tilt-a-whirl. ;]
then we ate! i had a hot dog&limonade.
derek had sausage.
then we saw a dancing robot, scary!
then we played i got it. and now derek is addicted.
he is pretty good. he got it twice!
he won a foldy lawn chair thing and a basketball.
then
we walked around collecting free goodies.
we got shooter some doggie trail mix,
but it gives him gas.
then we had to leave at five. because i had to work
at six. but, we're going back saturday night
after we both get out of work. which will probably
be around six. we're going to cash in derek's change,
and play i got it for ages! i'm gonna get some 75cent tea.
and it's going to be fabulous.
I LOVE THE FAIR!


-mints.

p.s. happy birthday, ayla!

change of plans.

so i wish i would have known my sister
was friends with the hiring manager
at [retail store], before i went and
got my heart broken by [trendier retail store]!

anyways, tomorrow morning i have an interview
at 11:3o...and THEN we are going to the fair.
double yes.

this is almost a guaranteed job,
just don't know how the hours will be.

-mints.

yes.

i almost thought we wouldn't
get a chance to go...but tomorrow
my boo and i are going to the fair!
i have to work at 6p, though.
so it's gonna be an early day!
i can't wait.

tilt-a-whirl&ponies,
here i come!

p.s.

drawing people makes me really happy.
[such as in the post below]

so if anybody wants me to draw them, i'm down.

let me know.


-mints.

mehhh.

didn't get the job.
job hunting again tomorrow.
they're trying to convince me to
get another job inside the store.
man, they really don't like letting
people go do they?
i'm getting another job because
i DON'T want to work there anymore. duh?

so i'm kinda upset but laura marling is
cheering me up like she does.

;]].

and i am lucky to have
such a boyfriend as i do.
yep yep.

and my sister gave me her bike.

i just feel like money-wise,
i can't catch a break lately.
i need a new phone again.
and so on and so forth.
so another job would certainly help
right about now!
it'll come to me.
patience is one of my strengths;
so i'll hold onto that for now.

-mints.

blah.

colored pencils scan so poorly.



love,
mints.

wow.

for some reason on the way back to derek's
tonight. amvets called my name and i made
a quick turn into the parking lot.
within 1o min i had to stop myself
because it was packed with stuff begging me
to take it home. perfect!

-mints.

random thoughts today.

three girls, one bathroom.
almost as scary as two girls, one cup.

never rent from your sister if you want
to be treated the same as the other "tenants."

the worst thing you can do to me is
not check my pockets before doing my laundry.
i'm like a kid. there's treasures in there!

it's funny how people on community sites
develop popularity and think they're better than you.
when the more "popular" they are usually= the more often they are on.
so someone who sits at the computer trying to
prove that they're cool is better than me?
knaught.

it must be exhausting to have to photoshop
all your pictures before uploading them.

my hair is not dry or damaged, but all i had available to me
was conditioner for dry hair. i used it and
somehow my hair actually looked damaged
afterwards. how is that possible?

derek is eating mock chicken.
why is it called mock chicken if it's not chicken?
can't they just come up with a new name for it?
