I got sick, eeew!!!

I got sick over the weekend,  so I took a couple days off of blogging. I kind of had to, 'cuz I felt gross, but I'm better now. I at least got caught up on my Fringe.

I don't know if you guys would or even should know by now, but I'm a huge sci-fi nerd, so most of the shows I like or might talk about are pretty sci-fi in nature, I guess, unless it's a k-drama, for some reason, I really like the gender-bender ones, they're so fun!

Watching all this tv makes me remember that I wanted to be an actress at one time. It's never too late, of course. Well, anysnooch, that's not what I wanted to talk about. What I really wanted to talk about was that my favorite charachter, Astrid, never gets any real props (I feel like I may have said this before, but that was probably irl, so it probably doesn't count!) on the show (so far, I'm behind by a season or two...), and that I really want to do makeup tutorials, but alas, I have NO makeup. I just lost my main palette freaking recently, it must've been within the bast couple of days, 'cuz I rememer seeing it, so I had to use my default for this one, but that's fine. I'm all matching today!

Oh, one more thing, I was going to talk about this "creative" way to curl hair that I accidentaly found while I was trying to straighten it. It all happened because my hair clips keep getting broken, I guess from wear, well, that morning I got ran into, and my head collided with the bed, which in turn broke my hair clip. That's what I get for using cheap ones!!!

So anyway, I started using hair ties, I bought like 60 of them at CVS because they were selling the pretty colors for cheap. So, anyway, I took my hair into small sections, and wound them around like I was going to put them in mini-buns, but I just kept winding them until they stayed in place. I took them out carefully once I was all done, well, I waited maybe half an hour, because I would wind them up as I finished each section, just to keep the sections together and not end up straightening the same section five times, lol.

I ended up with wavy hair that could have stayed if I used hair spray, but I wanted piggy tails, so I did that instead.

I'll have pics eventually of my outfit for the day, I'll probably upload them to picyou, 'cuz I like that site (and don't have instagram).

Well, more later, I'm sure. <3<3<3 Hope your weeks have started well! ^_______________^

Silent laughing and serious debates small update I forgot about!

Well, I'm again watching some youtube, I searched for the tag #notaboutthatlife because of Scooter Magruder, who I'm subscribed to on youtube, 'cuz my boyfriend, *Aiden and I find him hilarious.

Having mentioned Aiden, I was watching this video when the vlogger said something about how videogames take the boyfriend's attenion away from her, and that's what prompted my post today. Technology does that to Aiden.

What I mean by that is, if I'm in front of technology and he's present but not participating with me, I'm sorry, I'm like a guy with a videogame. It would likely be worse if I actually were playing a videogame.  I do genuinely like to share my internet finds with him, but I guess that's just how I am. We have played a videogame together before, that was very fun. I hooked up the xbox and we played one of the Harry Potter games. If we could get more controllers and games, I think that would be fun for us to do at least once a week.

Well, on to the serious debates, Some of these youtubers make vlogging look like fun, I would do that, but I'm not terribly creative.I guess you don't have to be terribly creative, but I also don't have a decent webcam, well not for vlogging purposes, anyway. Not that I'd know what to vlog about, really. Well, It's not something I want to do in the immediate future, 'cuz I like typing, so this suits me well.

But I had another silent laughing attack at the bar last night. If you're friends with me on facebook or a twitter follower (since I've linked both of those accounts to my tumblr), you'll know why. I got stuck on the "lol-sotrue" tumblr page. The gifs are so funny! Anysnooch, I must've looked insane, but I don't care that much. I had fun.

But having mentioned facebook. I've seen some things on there related to politics, and since I'm normally on youtube, I like to watch soundly awake, who did this video this video, which I think was a good way to put it. The way I see voting is pretty similar: You don't like who's running, research things each side says that you agree with, vote for who you agree with more, if you truly don't know what's going on, just try to get involved in some way. If you don't think your vote will count, realize this: you are one of MANY who feel the same way, the whole lot of you not voting does NO good. If even half of you would vote, that would make a big diference.

On a lighter note, I'm glad I didn't use makeup today, 'cuz I always get a little itchy when I do, so it smudges. :(

I'm excited for bike shop work tomorrow, even if it's right afer we tear down at my morning job. It's good to have things you look forward to. I really like the small things, what about you lot?

Take some time to consider that, if you don't already, the little things you enjoy that make you happy every day. It adds up.

'Til next time ^_____^ <3

Oh, but one last thing I forgot to mention, since I just did it today: I found a crafty way of waving my hair up, kind of like beach waves. I didn't wear it out of the house, because it was just a trial - it worked, for sure, but also because I wanted to wear my piggy tails. 

oh, I just love these boots, though

Here's my outfit of the day, I found these boots, and they're adorable! Yes, I always have things in my hair, pens, bows, candy, something *the candy's always a lollipop, usually cherry flavored, 1/2 of the pens don't work (I only ever use one or the other), but I love bows!

mini update post

But I guess they'rea all updates, anyway...

Well, getting back to the point of this post, updates are that I work at a bike shop! I really like it so far. (I only do little things so far) like on my first day, I crushed a massload of cans, and my second day, I got to break wheels down, that was fun. I got to use these big wire cutters to clip the spokes, that was kind of like a workout, lol. Some of those spokes were resistant!

Anyway, I'm still looking for templates, and I'm in this facebook group looking at the deadpool vs gangnam style video, it's flipping hilarious! These poor unsuspecting people! aaw, cute! I'll link to it, so you know what I'm talking about! It's really entertaining. There ya go, follow the link ^^ "I'll link to it".

Wow, well, back to the post, It's really hard to not watch this while I type. Well, it's a good thing I have the keyboard memorized, so I'm sure everything's turning out fine.  ...He's in the woman's room! haha! ooh, breakdancing!

Ok, back to the post for real, even though I'm still watching the video. Thank God mom put me on the computer when I was little. I need to make a reaction video to the things I watc, 'cuz I'm sure my faces are priceless! Also, I do a lot of silent laughing.

Ooh, so, back to updates! sorry, I get really distracted when the videos are on. And people in this computer lab would probably like to know why I'm on two computers at once. (the school's computer is going to be my entertainment, this one is my "search for templates while I blog" one, for now." I'm watching walter moments. If you don't know Walter Bishop, you need to seek the nearest dvd viewing device (or if it's the appropriate time, a tv) and watch fringe. Watch ALL OF THE FRINGE!!!!!

My boyfriend bought season 3 because I got him hooked on it...ooh, Walter's overshares. Wow, priceless. We're also looking at a phone, because well...mine sucks. It does things that phones should not do. It turns itself off at random. Luckily, not while I'm online (well, it has before...), or texting, but if I haven't texted yet, and it decides to piss me off, it will do that. Heck, sometimes I don't even get calls for...oh, days. And I only find out about them because I happen to interact with the person who called/texted me, most recently via facebook. Though, it's usually because I've called my parents a day or two later than they called me. And since I'm not getting the calls, I'm also, of course, not getting their voicemails. I'm sure you can imagine the frustration....on both ends.

(I'm already looking at phone cases, albeit on ebay...mostly cutesy ones, like stitch (from lilo and stitch) or panda bears.) I know you're already thinking "how old is this girl....>.>>.>  >.>....." But I already fully embrace being "a big ol' kid!".

Seriously, you should see me after work on the weekends when we get the gelato. "Birthday cake!?!?!?!?!?" *On tippy toes eating the gelato, nevermind being lactose intolerant*...sorry body.

So, having mentioned fringe, I"m watching an interview with John Noble and Anna Torv, where they don't have to mask their accents at all, before I found out they were foreign, I'd hear Anna pronounce "tank" as "tahnk", or other words, and I'd be confused about why I was hearing an accent on some words and not 99% of the others. I went and imdb'd her. I already knew John was from elsewhere.  Looking forward to another 3 hour marathon tonight!

I'm SOOOO sad about my show being over soon. I'm going to CRYYYYY. (I say that a lot, and usually don't mean it, 'cuz crying induces headaches, and it's messy...just ugh, I hate to do it, but I probably mean it this time, like 80%...well, maybe 75%, k, more like...15%, but it's still possible.) I still want more Astrid! I don't think she's given enough props or anything.

Ok, back to things that are not fringe or gelato, so basically, I'm just a big ol' kid.

I can't even deny it if I try. And I have tried to before, it's just that...well, I still am. You know the saying, "you can choose to grow up, but growing old is mandatory" or something like that?

"I don't wanna grow up , I'm a toys r us kid". K, I've probably  beaten the horse to death with a bloody pole, or something.

Ooh, my laptop is going to die soon! 17%. ugh....blast, well, I guess that means I'll get to the rest next time...so much for  "mini" update, though, huh?

Have fun, 'til next time! I'm off to get funky as per the usual tonight, and then I'll get fringey! ....cheesy much?

kk, bye!

Things that irk me to death on the bus.

I’m a frequent bus rider, so there are a LOT of things I see that maybe I would not have otherwise experienced had I driven a car most places (some things, however are outside, anyway, so if you’ve got windows, there’s no getting away, lol.)

Anyway, I’m pretty much an introvert, unless I’m with good friends. I do not like to socialize with strange people on the bus. Unfortunately, there are a lot of strange people on the bus. There are also smelly people.

I can understand that sometimes people are rushed out of the house with not even time to get dressed properly, but there’s such a thing as making time. I don’t have any children to get ready for pre-school or anything, so it really doesn’t matter what time I get up so long as I’m on the bus with ample time to dink around before school, and my clothes don’t matter because a of all) I’m not walking out like absolute trash, and b of all) I don’t actually have to look “professional”. (Being a bus rider, I’m not the only one who doesn’t, of course).

So, anyway, my most recent pet peeve was when I got onto the bus after a late lunch, and all of my bags/whatnots are comfortably adjusted. I begin reading, and am in my “comfy zone” which also happens to be the “do not interrupt!  

" zone.

Well, anyway, there I am, peacefully reading, minding my own business (and pretty much the only one on the bus), when this guy, obviously trying to start conversation says to me “you’re ready for winter, huh?” A of all) yes, it was cold when I left the house, and unless it’s uncomfortably hot for most people, I’m completely fine in a hoodie, this one was fur lined (fake fur, of course, ‘cuz it’s aeropostale), and b of all) I was wearing my bearclaw boots ‘cuz well, see above, it was COLD when I left the house, and to me, it was still cold outside. However, this is not “winter ready” to me.

I ignored him.

Did I ask him to interact with me? Obviously not. Was I the only one “ready for winter”, not that I observed. And in my opinion, I was not, in fact, ready for winter. I was ready for it to be 46 degrees outside when I left the house. And knowing that I was coming back late, it would again be cold once it got dark. Did I owe this freak any explanation? No. Am I being mean by calling him a freak? Yes. I just think that if someone is reading, they have every right to do so in peace. Of course, I'd get arrested if I verbalized my thoughts in these instances, 

I also hate when people try and talk to me when I’m wearing my headphones because 99%of the time, my music is on, and I can’t hear them anyway, I generally don’t know the answer to their question, and I’m again not interested in communicating with anyone when all I want to do is listen to my kpop. WHY is that so much to  ask? I don’t interrupt other people’s days uneccesarily.

I’m an introvert, I like to be left alone when I’m going about my business. Why is that so hard for others to comprehend?

Too bad this never works for me. :P

I know, I’m being dramatic. Do I care, obviously not, since I just ranted about it. 

Blog layout

Hey, guys. The layout's probably going to change a lot until I finally get a setup I really like. I'm just browsing and fiddling right now. 

Cover it up! and Work.

Hi, all. I’m back with a work-related post, well, kind of, anyway. Just not the first three paragraphs, not including this one. 

     It’s really about clothing styles that irk me. The first is easy, leggings. To me, they are not pants. I don’t care if they have pockets now. If it is made of spandex or similar material, it is not outerwear. You may choose to wear them all you like in lieu of pants, go ahead, continue. Don’t take this personally. It’s just this:

      I am not out to stare at your ass or (as it’s been noted here, and apparently it’s rather prevalent) “camel toe”. No one wants to see that – well, there may be guys who want to, I guess, and it may just not be something you’ve thought of. Or maybe it has, I don’t know, it’s really your prerogative. I just happen to not like it.

Are there cute leggings? Yes, of course. Are they cuter with a skirt or shorts over them? In my opinion, yes. But that’s not the point of my post today. It’s going to be a rant, sort of, so sit tight.

        After I got off of work today, I was minding my own business on the bus, when I saw a girl get on with rather nicely done makeup. It may or may not have been gyaru style, but it struck me as such, initially. It was dramatic, anyway. She was really pretty, and so was her dress. … until I noticed that it wasn’t a dress when she went to find a seat (the bus was crowded, so I thought it was a dress for a long time). Once her outfit was in clear sight, I saw that the “dress” stopped about mid-hip. She had black “things that were not shorts” on under it, so I guess the world got a free show of her undies…needless to say, that is not what comes to mind when I think “cute outfit!”. I don’t know what happened to covering up, but it seems like while most people see to enjoy it, there’s a growing number of those who do  not.

       Now, back to work. I never actually talk about my work life, really. I only work weekends again (yeah, so much for “structure”), but I don’t mind that too much. So, anyway, work is like a big clique at my job. Probably because the main girls there all go to school together, and they’ve been working there for a long time, but they make it known when you aren’t accepted in their little group (it is rather small, right now. My former ride left, and despite having started on the same day as me, he was immediately accepted).

    I don’t mind so much now that I have people to talk to. My paleo buddy left, but I have Biker, Blue, and Black . Black is accepted in the group, but that doesn’t bother me, because we still talk.

You might be wondering why this seems like such a big deal, so I’ll tell you now. We work in the same part of the stand. I’ll only be dealing with nicknames for people just to keep privacy. (My real name isn’t even Olive, so…yeah.) There’s the Ringleader, Slim, and Twin. I don’t have anything against the group, personally, it’s just that work is not high school, and after months of feeling rather isolated, it’s just annoying.

     One thing that annoyed me last weekend was the fact that I never really talk to the ringleader (it’s a two-way street, of course. I’m just not the type to initiate conversation, and two of them seem to have the idea that I’d even think about stalking them…idk), but I was talking with Biker, the subject matter being my boyfriend, and the Ringleader decides to cut in and ask which building he works in.

I thought nothing of it, and since I’m not good at describing things, anyway, just said some stuff and went about my business. But after we were done tearing down, I realized what happened in that exchange, and it bugged me a bit.

1. 1)   >.> …you never talk to me, but you want to know where my boyfriend works?
2. 2)   …You were not a part of this conversation, and it concerns you in no way
3. 3)   …Even if you did decide to come to his building, because of his job, you would not be there very long.

My boyfriend is a security guard. He also doesn’t like people, especially the nosy ones, I could list other attributes my boyfriend doesn’t like, but that’d be kind of rude, so I’ll leave off. I’m not saying that the Ringleader really even wanted to go see my boyfriend’s building, it was just all kinds of rude, in my opinion.

I guess nothing really happened today, except to reiterate my point that these girls think I’m going to stalk them, I over heard one of them saying that she was going to one of the temples I used to go to with someone else a couple of years ago. Thinking she was a regular and that I might have seen her there before, I asked if she goes there often. She got so scared for only G_d knows what reason (even if I were into girls, I’m very sure she would not be my type, and I’m not a stalker), and then I clarified that I knew one of the families that has been at the temple basically since it got started there.

Talk about self-absorbed. Really? I want to stalk someone? On one of their holidays no less? Someone I never talk to? Reallllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? I'm seriously "not about that life"...

      Another incident is where the Ringleader was talking about this club I used to go to. I just told them some things they should know, because they were useful to me (the things I told her) And she got all shocked and asked if I go there. I told her that I hadn’t been in years, which is true, and I don’t actually plan on going to that club again, to be honest. I’d rather try a different one out for a change, but anyway, she turned around and shouted to J (who mind you is in his 40’s with 3 or 4 children) that he should join her and whoever else was going.

      Did I want an invite? No, because I really don’t want to associate with them outside of work if I don’t have to, mostly based on the way they act. Also, I have no intentions of visiting that club again in the future, no real reason other than that there are many other clubs I could go to, or there’s a sky bar I’ve been interested in for a while. Did I still find it incredibly rude? Of course. It may or may not have been, but the way I was raised, if someone tells you about something you should know, and you don’t want them to go to it, at least wait to invite the people/person you do want to hang out with once that person is gone.

       Oh well, rude or not, Karma gets everyone. Nice and not so nice alike. I like to believe I’m a rather nice person, but after being shoved around so much of my life, I’ve had enough. Now I stand my ground, and if you piss me off, you will be notified. If it was an accident, it can be worked out, if it was on purpose, you literally cease to exist to me. I’m not saying that I “get rid” of you, but outside of a professional manner or being minimally civil (if you are behind me and I’m going out of a door, I will hold it), expect no more than that.

         I’m sure we’ve also been through my character coming into question. I know I have good moral standing. If you tell me that I’m doing something morally wrong just because you aren’t getting in on the same deals, or whatever it is, and I know my morals are sound, you also don’t exist to me. You didn’t raise me, I didn’t grow up with you, and from the sounds of it, anyone calling my morals into question has to be jealous of something, because while I may not be perfect, I know right from wrong, and I do the right thing most of the time (unless it’s simply “the lesser of two evils”, in which case, there’s no winning, anyway).

Wow, what a rant. I think that’s all for now. It was a big, busy weekend since my boyfriend’s parents, brother and sister came into town. I was working during most of their stay, so I hope when they come by again I won’t be so busy. Also, his mom made some super delicious cherry pie. ^__________________________^ (My fave!)
