I feel kind of bad because everyone else is reverse culture shocking it up and wants to go back to France.
But then I think about it and it is okay that everyone else loved France and wants to go back.
I am more happy here than I have been since maybe November or before whenever leaving for France became real.
They can have all the France they want.
Because it sucked and I hated it.
I seriously am surprised when men don't yell at me, check me out or honk at me when they drive by. And that is not a good thing to be surprised about.
For clarification, when I was in the airport in France waiting for my plane wearing khakis that I'd slept in and an old comfy shirt, airport security guards clicked at me. It's this thing that French guys did. They clicked at girls like you would click at a cat or dog to make it come to you. When I was in Texas and wearing a shirt white dress with a tennis skirt that snapped in the front, a guy looked at me and moved on. Like a normal person.
I am so glad to be home.
Plus there are stores open later than 7 at night. And I understand everything people say.
Seriously, this is the best country in the world. And you know how I hate this country.
I just wish I had my car and my job.
I love you all and I am so happy to be home. Beyond happy.

Hmm, So I've finally started writing again it seems. Quite slowly, but surely (well, more the former and less the latter), both in this journal, and in my story. For those of you who haven't received frequent updates on the status of my story, and who care, I've pretty much decided for sure about what I'm going to write. I even kind of have a rough framework drawn up and whatnot. Now I just need to go through the tedious and almost painful process of filling in that framework. Tonight I actually managed to get the better part of a page completed. Though that might not sound like much, trust me, that page has taken at least a month to emerge in it's current form.
So, aside from my story and a few random happenings with friends and whatnot, my life is pretty damn similar to how it probably was about a year ago. I'm still working at meijer, mostly because I couldn't get another job. I'm not pushing carts, but instead running around fixing registers and telling computer-illiterate people how to resize windows and cut/copy/paste files. Yeah, it's uh, fun >_>.
Oh, though one of our servers did catch fire a week or two ago. Granted neither I nor anyone from my department was there to witness it, but I still found it funny that one of the computers there caught fire after all the jokes I've made about registers spontaneously combusting.
I've also resumed my hobby of looking for poorly named products at meijer. Thus far the best ones I've found have been: Mount Gay rum (I guess it's from barbados or something...), and then Worm Blower, which I found in the fishing aisle between the Rod Holder, and the Mouth Spreader.
Hm, so what else is there...
...I guess I beat Final Fantasy XII a while ago. It took me 106 hours and I still only got through 2/3 of the side-quests. For those of you who may happen to be playing the game, or who are even thinking of playing the game, DON'T SPEND TIME ON THE DAMN SIDE-QUESTS. They are completely worthless wastes of time in which you run for about a half hour to get to some dumb monster, defeat said dumb monster, and then run back to the dumb person that asked you to kill the dumb monster to get a really dumb reward. Nothing is added to the plot, none of the characters are developed, and just about nothing of interest happens during them.
Yeah though, that's about all I can think of right now. Adios amigos...

So we're getting new dog from the shelter. His name's Edward but we might change it and he's a lab mix. Not too sure what's in the mix but he's real friendly. We can't bring him home till monday so maybe then I'll post some pics if I can figure out how.

Soooo I just got back from my first day at work. Yes, I found a job afterall. Pretty much it is extremely boring. I get to test the little motors that go behind cars side view mirrors to make it move. But everyone I work with is cool so its not too bad. That's pretty much all I had to say. Hope everyone is doing fantastic.

WYCE is failing me and playing of all things, the Dave Matthews Band. Could they play anything more establishment? Fergie maybe. But the day I hear Fergie on WYCE is the day I.....stop listening to WYCE probably.
I don't know why I'm still awake. My sleep schedule is so weird these days. But probably once I start working it'll get normal-ish.
[edit]
So funny story. Apparently I had some appointment with manpower today which I'm assuming they told me about but I forgot to write it down. So anyway I missed the appointment and now I'm out of a job. Before I even started. But oh well, sometimes you just suck at getting jobs. If any of y'all know anywhere that's hiring I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know.

ah the war on drugs!
So mostly some cop in Dearborn confiscated some weed, made brownies on it, and called 911 cause he thought he OD'd on it. Here's the link if anyone cares, its short and entertaining.
http://www.mg.co.za/articlepage.aspxarea=/breaking_news/other_news/&articleid=308026
Too bad you can't OD on weed. It's never happened anywhere ever. And if you're a cop and you don't know this you really should not be a cop anywhere ever. He just couldn't handle his spacecakes, the pussy.
So there's another arguement for legalization. I mean, I always had the hunch that half the time confiscated weed goes into the cops' personal stash. So if cops are smoking it than why can't the rest of us?
In other news, manpower called today and offered me a job at some plastics company. I get to make screwdriver handles. Woo hoo!

So since I've been home I've done nothing but wait around for manpower or forge to call me back so I can get a job. I can't really apply for much else besides factory jobs on account of my dreads. But even before I had dreads I always had a hell of a time finding a job. I'm beginning to think I'm just downright unfuckingemployable.
All I want is to live my life easy and free
I don't need no human bullshit
Predjudice, down on me
