Brenton was kind of funny last night. 4 in the morning he had to wake me up because he was thirsty. Then he asked if I was thirsty. Well, at that point I was and I told him I wasn't getting up to get us anything to drink, so he finally got up and got us some grape pop. Then my little Martini sass had to climb all over me.

I hate Windows
Me: Hey, I wanna play this game with my 360 controller.

Windows: Oh okay.

Me: This game says it's the coolest with the controller.

Windows: Mmhmm.

Me: It says it does rumble.

Windows: Yes.

Me: So, I'm gonna plug it in...and you should...see it right?

Windows: Sure.

Me: Okay, it's there.

Windows: I'm not seeing it.

Me: Well, it's there.

Windows: Still not seeing it.

Me: Let me unplug it and I'll put it back in.

Windows: Uh no. Nothing.

Me: Um. So. Do you need a driver or something for this?

Windows: I'm not quite sure.

Me: Can you check?

Windows: No.

Me: Well, I'm going to ask Google. He always knows.

Windows: I can wait.

Me: He says you do.

Windows: Okay.

Me: I went to your website and you just wanted me to buy a controller.

Windows: Well, yeah. You need one to play the game.

Me: Yeah, well. I have one right here. Remember? It's plugged in.

Windows: Oh. Yeah. I can't see it though.

Me: Right.

Windows: Right.

Me: So, I'm going to go ask Google again. Maybe he knows a better place.

Windows: Okay.

Me: He told me to go to your website again.

Windows: Yeah, it's probably there.

Me: Well, the link they sent me to? It doesn't work.

Windows: Huh.

Me: So. I'm going to look around a little.

Windows: Okay.

Me: Why isn't it on the page with the controller? You know. Under related topics or links or whatever.

Windows: Shrug.

Me: Huh.

Windows: ...

Me: Oh well I'm going to go to this product download link.

Windows: Mmhmm.

Me: Why do you need to know what I'm downloading it for? I told you on that other page.

Windows: I forgot.

Me: ...

Windows: I can't see it. I forgot.

Me: ...

Windows: ...

Me: Okay, well it's downloading.

Windows: What?

Me: A driver or something. I don't know. It's downloading.

Windows: Okay.

Me: Why is it going to take five minutes?

Windows: I don't know.

Me: Okay.

Windows: ...

Me: Well, it's done.

Windows: Okay.

Me: So, it's installing.

Windows: Okay.

Me: You know, my OS came out after the 360.

Windows: Yeah.

Me: So why didn't you just include the driver with the OS?

Windows: I don't know.

Me: I have a lot of useless stuff from you already. Why didn't you just include it?

Windows: I don't know.

Me: Okay it's done.

Windows: Okay.

Me: Why the hell do you always want me to restart? The light is lit up. Why do I have to restart?

Windows: I don't know.

Me: Bill Gates doesn't even know why I have to restart.

Windows: Well...we don't talk anymore.

Me: Huh. Well, I'm not restarting.

Windows: Okay.

Me: I'm going to go play my game now.

Windows: We'll see...

Me: Wait.

Windows: What?

Me: Why's the program still there?

Windows: Which one?

Me: The one I installed the driver with.

Windows: I don't know.

Me: Why couldn't you just delete it after it installed?

Windows: I don't know.

Me: And what's this Windows Update thing?

Windows: Hm?

Me: You just installed the driver and already you need to fix it.

Windows: Well... This is an update just for you.

Me: You couldn't just put the latest version on your website?

Windows: No.

Me: You asked me what OS I was using.

Windows: Yes. Yes I did.

Me: So. You could have just the latest one for my OS there. On that special page. For me.

Windows: Yeah.

Me: Huh.

Windows: Yeah.

Me: You want me to restart again.

Windows: Yeah.

Me: Fine.

Windows: See you later.

Me: Whatever.

Totally can't wait til the Clutch concert. As far as I know, it's Me, Brenton, Jay, Jay's brother, and I guess Jay said something about sam ham going. Should be fun. Will probably be the DD, but that's fine with me.

:: 2008 6 December :: 10.19pm

Already got my tickets to Clutch for the New Year's Eve bash thing. I'm excited. It's going to be the most kick ass new year's ever. Also, I hate the snow, I hate driving in it, I hate looking at it, I hate being in it.

Also, I love my Fluffykins aka, my Brenton.

That was the most nerve racking experience of my life..
Took my civil service test..

I am hoping I passed, not just so that I can apply for a corrections job, but so that I dont have to go through that again..

Is there anything more stupid...
so today was one of the worst days of my life.... for one single reason, my ass got fired from ponderosa... for some of the fucking dumbest reasons ever!! there is an underlying reason of the company going under and i was one of the highest payed employee's and i think they were makin up a bunch of bullshit so they could get rid of me but its official i am jobless, and right before xmas.
its a fresh start yes, but i can be out of a job, i have bills to pay too.

I am very blessed. I have a boyfriend who loves me (and lets me sleep and makes me bagels with cream cheese and turkey (when I don't feel well and when he thinks it sounds disgusting)) and whom I love. I have a family that despite my coming home from a semester in Europe and immediately moving out, still loves me.

I am blessed because I had two Thanksgivings. And I will have two Christmases.

I talked to one of the new student workers today. His father lost his factory job and his mother lost her greenhouse job. Downsizing. He had Spaghetti O's for Thanksgiving. In his dorm room. He says Christmas doesn't look too great either.

I left work crying.

I've always had a Christmas. I've always had a Thanksgiving. No matter how poor my parents said they were that year. I can't imagine not having one. But this kid did. This kid will.

:: 2008 28 November :: 5.44pm

Thanksgiving was ok. worked till 3 then tj and i went home and i made a meal for us. the green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and a Ham, since there was only 2 of us i thought a turkey would be way too much. it was a nice thanksgiving i wish i could have went and seen familiy but we started a new tradition so i guess its ok.

not starting school as soon as eailier stated, waitin till spring so we can get our finances in order. but i am enrolled for four years and in $30,000.00 in debt at least for it so there is no turning back...

work still sucks and i am still looking for a new job. got a call earlier this week about a job, so we will see.

in addition to work suckin i think a person who also works there and is a "friend" of mine is trying to get me fired, or at least demoted. she intially told me that i should not go to school, that i should just stay at pondo for the rest of my life like her, then when i told her i was enrolling she got pissed and now doesnt talk to me, is scheduling me shitty hours, and is searching for things to complain about me for and i am getting really sick of it. the worst part of it is that our GM is sittin in her little pocket so everything she says he believes. its amazing i thought this person was my friend and it turns out that its all just fake!! dumbasS!!

I feel like I learn more about faith and feel better about faith in my Arabic class than I ever did in my Theology class.

In my Theology class, I was angry and upset that I was supposed to believe what he said I needed to. That I needed to obey the laws he said existed. Laws and rules I didn't think any god cared about.

In my Arabic class, I feel good about this god that I thought was mean and restrictive. I feel good about the world. Every day we have a religious discussion, even inadvertently.

I guess I'm not doing the Catholic thing anymore? I guess I haven't for a while. I like this God guy. I'm feeling things out but I'm a big fan of this non-denominational thing. I just hate religion so much. We'll see where this goes.

I'd like to believe that we decide when to wash our hands, or reveal the skeletons that we keep baracaded in our closets.
On our own terms, at the right time, and when necessary.
But in reality that doesn't happen.
Sometimes the past comes whirling in and everything else that mattered completely stops.

..While driving around greenville today, I had all these insightful thoughts that I planned to write. But when I got home I got side-tracked and had to do laundry. Now all those thoughts are barely there..

Crap.
