Eggplants and Pineapples

I figured I'd make a new journal since I haven't had one in forever. I also have nothing to say. So...anyone have anything they care to know about?

Oh, my friend asked me if I wanted to move to Tennessee with him and a few other people. I think it would be fun, but he said it wouldn't be for about a year anyway, so we'll see what happens between now and then. But I really want a puppy and a kitten, and my parents won't let me get any animals. The cat will be named Snugglepuff, and the dog is yet to be named. Also, we're getting a tiger and feeding one of the people to it. And we'll obviously have to live in a haunted house. Which may upset the puppy, but she'll get used to it. And I'm going to become a superstar since we'll be by Nashville. My friend just needs to teach me how to play the guitar and then I can get away with being a mediocre singer. I'll sign some autographs for everyone.

I'm replaying Final Fantasy IX because I love it. Also, I really want to go Chocograph hunting, but now I need to wait until I get a boat, and I don't think that's for a while. At least until I have Goof and Eiko in my party. I just want to dig!

Awesome Journal

I got pretty sick yesterday. I'm better now, but apparently a grilled cheese sandwich and an applesauce was too much to eat. Oh well.

Jason Castro was on American Idol tonight. ^_^ Oh...and his brother was auditioning or something. Actually, his brother auditioned with a Gavin DeGraw song, and that's always good in my book. Unless you butcher it...

Now, I should probably get back to playing Harvest Moon. I have crops to water or something. I'm not really sure.

Things you should know...

...before talking to me.

1.) If you come to me for advice, I'm going to give it to you honestly. If you just want someone to validate your every opinion, find someone else. If I think you're wrong, I'll tell you.

2.) I don't like when people fish for compliments. Constantly saying stuff like, "Oh, I'm a loser" will not get you a "No you're not, you're the best!" It will get you an "Of course you are." That doesn't mean I think you're a loser since I was more than likely teasing you. It just means that I don't like when people don't have enough confidence in themselves that they constantly need other people to build them up. That doesn't mean that if someone's having a bad day I won't try to make them feel better, but I can't spend every day trying to make someone feel better.

3.) I have a sarcastic sense of humor. If I say something mean to you, I probably don't mean it.

4.) If I talk to you, I like you. Basically, if you initiate the conversation every time, and I give you one word responses, I'm probably trying to get rid of you. If you initiate the conversation every time, but I actually respond to you with actual thoughts, I like you. I usually don't initiate conversations. I don't like bothering people. Oh, and if I don't really respond to you one day out of every day I've ever talked to you, it probably has nothing to do with you. We're talking about a majority thing here.

5.) Arguments are stupid. People don't agree on everything. No one is always right. But the point is to communicate. I hate when friends get into arguments over stupid things because no one will actually listen. If you say something to me, but it comes out to sound like an insult, I go by intent. As a stupid example, saying "your hair looks nice today" does not mean your hair looks hideous every other day. People who stop speaking to me over something petty infuriate me. Why would you risk a friendship over something that doesn't matter in the first place?

Just so you know.

Also, I love the fishes cause they're so delicious.

Great Title

Sigh...I just love my new stereo. It's so loud. ^_^

Anyway, I also have a new keyboard, and I only bring this up to let everyone know how much trouble I'm having typing. I'm not used to it yet, and it's so tiny, and there's a stupid bar where the bottoms of my hands are so I'm hitting a lot of the wrong keys. But it's ok, it's really quiet, and nobody spilled ice cream on it.

Work is tons of fun. Except for the part where I have to be there. Other than that though.

I think I'll play some more Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness now. Got to make Elliot or Denny or Vaughn want to marry me. Even though Denny hasn't moved in yet... Which may make that more difficult than it needs to be. As long as I don't have to marry Pierre, I'll be happy.

I'm hungry. Maybe I'll eat my Dairy Queen now. One of my favorite people at work bought it for me. Although...a lot of people are some of my favorites at work... Not my best friend though!

My Day

I was at work last night, and went to clean the women's restroom around 8. There was a girl in the first stall, and I noticed there was a little bit of blood on the floor there. Not a whole lot, but still more than there should have been. When she finally came out (which took her a little while) I noticed the area around the wrists of the sweater she was wearing had been cut, but I didn't see any blood on her so I didn't really think too much about that, although the whole situation made me pretty suspicious. So after she left the bathroom, I immediately went into the stall she had been in, noticed a little bit more blood on the partitions, and that the stuff on the floor had been smeared around like someone had been trying to clean it up. I checked to make sure it couldn't have come from anything else, and then went back to cleaning because, again, I hadn't noticed anything on her.

When I got back to the front counter I said, "Um...I think a girl was cutting herself in the bathroom." I can't remember what everyone said, I'm not sure if anyone took me that seriously. I kind of just wanted to tell the story since that's what I do with certain people there, tell them about stupid things other people do. I didn't take the situation that seriously either. But nobody could find her for a while, and everyone I worked with was like "Oh, she probably went to kill herself," and about half an hour later, a bunch of cops and paramedics showed up. I guess my boss had called them. As soon as that first cop walked in the door, I felt an immediate wave of guilt. If they had asked me "Why didn't you do anything?" I wouldn't have been able to answer. I just don't think I was that concerned with it, and I felt horrible about that. But anyway...

My boss asked me again about it, and I said I had just been guessing about the whole thing, and I wasn't sure, and he probably shouldn't have taken me that seriously since I hadn't seen anything actually wrong with her. But then he told me that there was dried blood on her arms, and that obviously stopped me, and I just answered with "oh." After a while, the paramedics took her away, and her wrists were all bandaged up.

I was told that I looked really nervous while the cops and stuff were there, but I'm pretty sure it was more a matter of me feeling guilty for just telling everyone the story and then not worrying about it. One guy told me I saved her life, and he expected to see my Facebook status change to reflect that, but I didn't really do anything. I still feel really bad about the whole situation, but I also know that no one would probably have known about her if I hadn't said anything. Ugh, I don't know. I just feel bad about not really doing anything.

And I know this is long, and I know it doesn't really make much sense, but I rewrote it three times, and I can't get it to be any shorter or flow any better. So sorry about that.

Agh!

Guess who's coming to town!!! No, it's not Santa Claus. Guess again! Closer...but still not quite it. Oh, that's right. It's Apolo! Of course, I have to work every day he's here.

But I want to see him!!!!!

Shine Your Light

Excellent... My Furie just learned Healing Wind, and that makes her the most important monster I have. Yes, even more important than my Sphinx who I've loved since he was cute little kitty cat with wings. Although...I just realized, this makes my Blue Rose useless again...so why did I put it back into my party? Well...guess this frees up space for another monster. Maybe a bunny or something. Anyone have any suggestions?

No, most of you weren't meant to understand that. But it fulfills my Tales of Symphonia requirement for this journal.

I'm not sick anymore. I knew I wouldn't be since I didn't have to work yesterday so that would obviously be the day I'm better. Because I guess it's more fun having to work the six days in a row being sick from the first one, and then when I suddenly don't have to do anything anymore, I'm perfectly fine.

There are still Christmas lights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
