Christmas presentry and other stuffs
Christmas was relatively lame this year. Last year I was fiddling around London for the holiday and at this time I was in Dublin
Remember?

Yep, twas a good memory that seemed quite hectic at the time. This year though, I worked 2-12pm five days in a row starting Christmas eve and ending yesterday. Ive been very tired today naturally >.<
At home, I had a quick christmas gathering with family before work. My spoils were quite pleasing though my parents had mentioned getting me a small flat screen tv but instead decided that I really wanted an art easle(sp?) instead -.-
I had mentioned one would be nice, but compared to a new tv, I probably would have chose the tv. The easle(sp?) is very nice, but I at least need a stool for it now !
I also got one of those paraffin spas for feet and hands from my grandmother as well as a weird looking bear plush. My aunt gave me some money. And I also got some butterfly earrings that have amber stones on them (gorgeous) and some other earings with dangling stars and a crescent moon. I got a whole bunch of rings too, but my mom got them all in the wrong size and had to send them back -.-
My dad got me a radar detector for my car as a bit of a gag after he followed me home one night and I left him in the dust, lol. My mothers gag gift to me was a tiny, silly air hockey table cause I told her I wanted one of those big nice ones, lol. She also got me a bunch of small grumpy bear stuff like socks, pens, and a wallet.

At work, I met the new girl, Jina.. She's half black-half puerto rican and not quite someone who stands out as an outstanding employee. She's about two years older than me and has two kids, one is six and the other two I think. Both from different fathers, one that was shot to death by his other girlfriend, the other just a one night stand I guess. She's on welfare and struggling to make ends meet. It makes you want to feel sorry for her when she tells you about her life and then you see her flirt....

and my friggen god does she flirt....
I mean, she and the new valet guy really needed to get a room it was so bad. She was making customers mad cause she wasnt really paying attention to them, just to the black guys swarming around her. It got so bad that I just went to drawing and doing what I normally do when I work alone.
I also indirectly asked her a question I was dying to know... Since she was hired instead of Jess in a quick period of two weeks, did she show her birth certificate and HS diploma.. the answer was no... no she didnt...
That fucking bitch Cassandra in personnel fucking screwed my friend over just as we thought. Which makes a problem. I cant make this an issue though is clear discrimination and far from an ethical business practice. If I bring it up or if Jess does, theyre gonna know that I found out what really isnt my business and passed it on to him. That could make my life hell at the airport. I might even lose my job over it if it becomes a big deal.

"Are you gonna tell Melanie Monday?"
"No.."
I know he was hurt by all of this, but there's no good outcome of getting into this. Sadly, I know what its like to fight a company's decision. Ive tried it twice. I never got anything that I wanted from it, and there's a huge possibility that all that could come from this is me losing my much needed job.
Maybe that sounds selfish...... but still..

Anyways, I also saw one of my old high school friends at the airport. Her name is Beth Fesler and we havent spoken since graduation. About 6 months ago or a little less, I had sent her an email through classmates.com wanting to rekindle correspondance and see how she was doing in the past five years. I got the email saying she had received and read the email, but I never got a response from her. Clearly, I was offended by this. She didnt speak to me at the airport either. If she noticed me or not, I couldnt say, but I was shocked !! She was HUGE !!
I mean, for someone who was going to college to be a dietician to be seen at twice, maybe three times her old weight. Literally probably 300 up from around 180.
"So hows that dietician thing working out for you?"
*cough* >.<
Makes me feel a bit better, lol.. At least I can still wear pants I had in middle school.
Not that it means Im skinny or anything... far from it !! Im probably 180 myself now. Jess agrees, that bitch >.<
The other days at work were pretty boring. Not much going on. Yesterday they discovered that a window on the shuttle was shattered.. due to the brilliant deduction work of corporal Ramsey >.< "the weather did it !" Yeah, the crystal clear sky, moderate temperatures, not even a slight breeze smashed in that window...... True, there was no item inside the vehicle to prove something was thrown through it and no glass on the ground, but geez.. he came up with that in like 5 seconds. Later that night, a valet customer came to get his car... He paid and waited... suddenly Griffin comes up and says theyve lost the key. After a search wielded no results and the guy who parked it, good ole Colin >.<, calling in panic every few minutes, he got his money back, a rental car and went home. Later an officer found them in a stairwell behind a pipe. blarghhh @_@

As far as the ORANGE LEVEL security goes... for our airport that means two things: two armed national security guys walking around, and no parking and waiting in your car on the arrival side drive. Not much of a difference really.
One would imagine that people could respect how security is at such times, but they dont and get pissed when they cant get to the gate. They had to have a guard detain a man who was determined to meet his wife at the gate. @_@ Not that we're real secure in the first place, but according to CNN, we are one of the strictest and most thoroughly TSA staffed airports in the US... that means, you dont get through security no matter what and neither does your pointy items and lighters and some guy had a small club weapon the other day that he refused to surrender.
baka

My parents left today.. they are going to visit friends in Vicksburg, MS then drive to Atlanta for New Years and then to North Carolina to see some mountain property my uncle owns there. Im home all alone through the next five days and off till the 2nd. Today was shitty in general because of that. Aside from, the fact that it was POURING rain and I had to go out to the bank and credit union across town to pay my car payment. BOTH my cousin and brother had their girlfriends over devouring the food and consuming beverage I told them to ration ravenously... They then ordered a pizza and announced that I couldnt have any. >.< Its like being in your own house with a ton of people who dont live there yet dont want you around....... just your stuff and your money. Fuckin' kids... I had a job when I was their age !! *shakes her fist at them* I earned all that neat stuff I have !

Anyhoo........ I have been indulging in one thing most pleasant.

NARUTO !!
teehee ^_^
Ive been absolutely entralled by this anime. everynight I would watch ten eps and then d/l the next ten eps. Though Ive been working, I still managed to see all 64 episodes that are fansubbed on the net.

Behold !!
Conflicting quiz results:


Which Naruto Character are You?
quiz by orangeday.net


You are Gaara! The lover of death, you fight to
kill and satisfy your own demons. Death is all
around you, because you are the one who caused
it. Not allowing anyone to become overzealous
you fight the powerful and defeat them without
a scratch on you. Your overbearing power
brings fear into your companions and your love
for death doesn't help either.


What Naruto character are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

lol, Gaara's funny cause he's this little freaky guy with love written on his forehead that uses sand from a giant gourd as his weapon.. I want a UFO doll of him and Sasuke ^o^

The characters are so loveable !! Almost all of them in fact ! I even almost cried when I thought Sasuke died protecting Naruto from Haku. *sniffle*
If I had to compare it to another anime, I would say Kenshin, and Ill explain: loveable characters, plenty of action and move announcements/explainations, around a hundred episodes, human exceeding ability, realistic setting though a fantasy world, plenty of hotties to go around ^o^, and a girl who only kicks butt occasionally but is mostly ends up being protected. If anyone EVER says its like DBZ, Im gonna break their neck for being so lame !! If you compared it to One Piece though, I'd just shrug.. Ive seen a lot of One Piece, but I couldnt get into it as much as Naruto which, in my opinion, far exceeds One Piece.

I also saw the end of Shingetsutan Tsukihime, finally, and Im so disappointed. The final battle was so anticlimatic and abrupt. I blame this pathetic end to them dicking around with Shiki's mind too much in the previous episodes. He wasnt even the one who killed Roa !! Plus, it never explained what was wrong with that girl who liked him. They hinted that something was upsetting her even before she knew about Arcueid, after that incident where she was listed as missing. It also never explained who that sensei woman that gave him the glasses was..
Damnit, I hate it when they get kinda good then ruin themselves.

Another surprisingly good anime was one thats only 11 minutes long (I hate those) called Sakigake Cromartie High. What makes this a sparkling comedy gem is the fact that it looks so serious. Its about a normal guy who does something really bad (this is a ripoff too cause they say if you want to know what it was then read the manga, boo !) and he transfers to a school full of stereotypical Japanese delinquents. As I mentioned, the artwork looks like its for a serious anime, but the comedy is proof that the creators were on crack.. Everything from the Freddy Mercury-like guy who doesnt understand japanese to Mechazawa to the gorilla.. its all insane and completely perfect to add to my list of must experience anime !!

Go Get em Hachimitsu Boi !!
muuuaaahhaahahaaa XD

the end..
