    <content type="html">A week after the first day of spring, and we are getting a LOT of snow. So much so that I went to let my dog out and the snow blocked the door and I had to go to the other side of the door and dig out all the snow. Not to mention the gate was frozen shut so I had to jiggle it open. AND someone either slid out of control or a snow plow knocked it over...our mailbox is snapped in half! And our shed caved in! My dad is pissed. Crazy shit.</content>

    <content type="html">I am feeling calm and even excited for the first time in a long while. I am starting to talk to my RL friends again, after feeling like avoiding pretty much everyone for almost a month because I didn't really want to burden them with my crap. I might even start going to church again. One of my friends from there asked me if I could start coming again. Honestly, I don't see why I shouldn't. It could do good. I'm done being basically a shut in, really I am. *sighs*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also got a call from another RL friend asking me if I could start watching her kids on a regular basis while she's at work. I love her little girls, they are ornery but really sweet, so I said 'why not?' She also said she'd pay me so I won't pretend that's not a bonus. *grins* I told her I wasn't asking for a whole lot. I'm going to meet her on Sunday to discuss the details. She lives in North Kansas City now, so depending on whether I can get there and back easily, she suggested I just stay there on the nights I'm supposed to watch the girls. There would be pros and cons to that arrangement so....I'd have to think about that. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm feeling pretty sleepy but I know that I won't sleep for another 3 or 4 hours. I really hate when my body does that. I woke up pretty late today. My sleep schedule's been all screwed up for a few days now, but it seems to me that I don't really fall asleep until the hour I got up. So let's say I go to bed around 3 in the morning. I won't wake up until 3 to 3:30 in the afternoon, and won't get to bed again til that same hour. This is because I don't have to get up at a certain time. At least until Monday. /Then/ I have to get up mucho early. Like 5 am. I haven't had to get up that early since high school. Dios mio. This will be an interesting 9 weeks. (Or more. My friend's job is a temp until they decide whether they'll hire her full time or not.)</content>

That's because it was under an email address that i barely check. I have no idea why I changed it or when. So...anyone who left me comments and I didn't see them...until now...I'm sorry! Don't kill me! I'll change it back. *laughs*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is all.</content>

    <content type="html">Just looked at the weather today...high of 68 tommorow! Then 50s all this week, and high 40s all next week. It is very strange for Missouri this time of year. It doesn't usually get this warm until end of march, beginning of april. but my mom has been talking all winter that this spring she'll plant a veggie garden. maybe she'll get a good start...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recieved a card last week from the company that bought the company i worked for last year. Centerplate is now Aramark, apparently.... I don't know all the details yet. Aramark invited all former Centerplate employees to apply again with them. I'm wary yet hopeful of this oppurtunity. I said to myself I would not work for them again but I do need work so I shall try again with them. So tommorow I'll go talk with them and we'll see how things work out from there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Edit: I don't know if anyone noticed but the meme I stole from Lyndasty was the wrong one. I copied her entry and planned to erase her answers and replace it with mine to post and I put hers up instead! Eeep! *laughs*</content>

    <content type="html">I'm back. Earlier than I expected. Things didn't exactly work out. It feels odd to be in such a big space. My room was so small I started calling it home because it was cozy, not cramped. No drama, no dogs , no cats, it was tidy as I could make it and things weren't so damn complicated. This office feels so huge to me but I was suppose to be in a cramped office stretching my legs out when I could and chatting with my coworkers. Now i'm at home frustrated and emotionally drained. I had a disagreement with my boss. To make a long story short, it's my boss' side that the co owner took and fired my fat ass. I will say I'm not entirely blameless and I made it known that I was willing to apologize. But this one was over everyone's head, and what the owner says goes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; It's too quiet here, even with music on. Back in Rogers, Arkansas, where I was last at, we got our power from a wonky generator attached to a back of a semi. The motherfucker was loud, and it fried almost everyone's TVs the first night we were there, including mine. But I had gotten used to it in the background, and during work, the sound of the crowd and the even louder generator that provided power to the rides and such. When I stopped at walmart on the way home the crowd made me feel, well I guess normal because every night we made wal mart runs. It was where we got most of our stuff. Of course I did that back home too but I didn't do it all the time like I did when I was on the road. Back here I didn't have money, and I had at least 10 bucks on me every night when I was gone. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was an interesting journey. I have various things I've found at fairs that I'm going to make into a little scrapbook. Mainly fair ads, newspaper clippings about the events I worked, cards for people running for various positions, things like that. Just to say I was there. I have only one picture, and it's of two of the ride jocks setting up the Ferris wheel. I don't have much money on me now, like 15 bucks. Better than nothing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it's back to job hunting. Not looking forward to it but I have no choice. It is good to be talking with friends again and hanging with Todd though, I will say that. So coming home early isn't all bad. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm pooped. I'll be hitting the sack soon, and hard. G'night.</content>

    <content type="html">I'm at the Johnson County Library right now. It's only 2 blocks from where we set up so I thought I'd come and see what my flist is doing. I'm sorry I haven't updated by phone, with the pay I have been getting of late, I haven't been able to buy minutes for my phone. Hopefully I will get some on Thursday or Friday after I get my check.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, it's been pretty....interesting around here to say the least. My job goes pretty smoothly. Aside from other minor annoyances from various people, I get along fine with most around here. I realized that no matter where I go, there will be drama and bullshit. And I deal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I helped wash the ticket box I work in and helped level the trailer. From then on I've just been chillin' out. We open the carnival up at 5 pm so I only have an hour on the computer today. So tommorow I'm coming out here earlier. My other duties include helping everyone wash the trucks, putting up the safety and ticket signs on the rides and making sure every ride has a ticket drop box and a measuring stick. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last week we worked the Wyandotte County Fair. &lt;span class='ljuser ljuser-name_jgkcmo' lj:user='jgkcmo' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://jgkcmo.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://jgkcmo.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;jgkcmo&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; came and saw me on Thursday night, like the awesome friend he is. :) My folks took me out to breakfast.I was hoping I'd get to go out to my house to get a few things and then go bug Todd at work but no luck, since the folks were low on gas money and time. Oh well.....who knows, maybe I'll convince them and Todd to drive out here. It's only a 30-35 mile drive from KC to Gardner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I guess that's it today. I'll be in Gardner until Sunday Morning so I'll try to come out to the library every morning until Thursday. Friday morning we always do a laundromat run, but I might have Saturday morning off, who knows....OK. Well, I love you all and miss you all and I'll try to update tommorow. *hugssssss*</content>

    <content type="html">I am thrilled right now....I don't care how many people respond, I'm gonna spread the news anyway!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm going to be traveling with a carnival! It's a legit company too!! I'm so excited. I called Todd, I consulted my parents and they're totally cool with it. I basically called the guy and he said that all I need to do is show up in Neosho, Missouri sometime this week. I'm leaving tommorow morning....so I'll definitely be online tonight to talk to folks before I leave. I'll be able to update by phone and call people (I hope) to let people know what's going on because I'm going to be gone until November. (Good God....) I am definitely gonna miss home but I love traveling, I love new oppurtunities....man oh man. This is exciting. I will definitely update and call people whenever I can to update folks. I hope I'll be able to get on the net....would suck if I can't. :( i'll miss my flist!! *huggs*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To everyone that I talk to normally....see you all tonight. I have to start doing laundry and packing.</content>

    <content type="html">Yesterday was good. I got to spend some much needed time with Todd. He's incredibly sweet, I'll tell ya. He made my birthday a special one. I had a pizza hut dinner with my folks before Todd came and picked me up to take me back to his place. We watched Jumper, which was a pretty good movie, I thought. Thrilling, exciting, great plot. And then we watched America's Best Dance Crew. I don't know who is reading this has watched ABDC but I love it. So glad the T&amp;A flaunting crews are gone so they can get down to business. Go Boogie Bots and ASIID! xD ..../end new show obsession rave. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I applied for a volunteer position at a local hospital as well. It's a clerical job, basically copying, scanning, filing, computer stuff, things I either know how to do or could be trained how to do. I have to be interviewed and my application has to be processed....so we'll see what happens. I know I won't get paid but it is something to keep me busy and I want to lend my skills where it's needed someplace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still nothing from the department store...it's been almost a month. I'm trying to stay positive but it's a struggle. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go to your happy place, Des. Breeeeathe. LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gonna work out now to Fit TV since it's rainy out so I can't go walking. Peace and love to you all.</content>

    <content type="html">Went to breakfast with the folks then went fishing yesterday with dad. Caught a baby bass, and that's about all.. Dad didn't catch anything. We were there for about 4 hours, then we went to Red Robin for lunch, then came home. I chatted with KT on the phone for the first time in about 3 months (hope to do that a lot more, talked to the boyfriend and then went to sleep. Soo, not a bad day at all. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DUDE. Search and Rescue premiered and I missed it???

    <content type="html">&lt;lj-embed id="6" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Edit:&lt;br /&gt;This is the PV (what they call music videos in Japan) to the ending theme of an anime called Wolf's Rain. It's a beautiful, somewhat sad song. I think this song fit in perfectly with the anime(and my life at times...) It was about these wolves that still survived after some kind of war, and they take human forms to hide themselves. In their true form, they are hunted. The wolves team up and go on a journey to Paradise, where they believe all wolves will end up. The series only lasted 30 episodes, but it was fantastic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A fantastic girl on YouTube has uploaded all the episodes on her channel, here, if you want to check it out: &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/user/SilverWolfKitten?ob=1"&gt;http://youtube.com/user/SilverWolfKitten?ob=1&lt;/a&gt;</content>

    <lj:music>The box fan blowing in my ear</lj:music>
    <content type="html">I'm now employed. Some what.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was offered a position to be a 'promotions coordinator' for a company called ASI. I will basically refer people to the company and if they order the plans I get commission for it. I know I won't make a whole lot. But it's something....right now I'm just looking to earn as much money as I can. I'm pleased. Although I'm kicking myself.....I was offered another entry level positions as a applicant interviewer. I would be making more, like $200-400 a week. I chickened out, though. I am kind of bad with people....haha. ^^; Sooo, if this works out, I will ask to change positions once I get my feet wet doing what I do now. I have to do an over the phone orientation tomorrow morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday, I'm going with some people from church to Jamesport, Missouri. They have a city wide garage sale there but I'm not so much interested in that as I am the Amish community near there. I've always been curious to see first hand how they live. We'll be going to the shops around the community. My wallet weeps. XD But the travel lover in me rejoices!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was also interviewed at a department store a couple of weeks ago, but considering the same old "We'll call you if we like you" response I got on Monday, I have a sinking feeling I'll get the shaft. Not too surprised there, so not as sad as previous times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, that's the update. I also wanted to share something with you all. It's a video from one of the users I subscribe to on YouTube. I was very pleased with it. It's so very well done, so very well said. Regardless of how you feel on this subject, I'm hoping you agree with at least one of the things said here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;lj-embed id="4" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the embedding does not work for whatever reason, here's the link: &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=4F-_o7bxXJs"&gt;http://youtube.com/watch?v=4F-_o7bxXJs&lt;/a&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">As promised, here is my post about going to see Speed Racer. Todd and I went on opening day to see it. It exceeded my expectations and more. The effects, the colors, the action and comedy...it's made of so much win, I highly recommend it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this is something I NEVER anticipated about my experience at the theater....towards the end of the movie, some guy with only his boxers on comes running into the theater screaming his head off. He slams against the wall below the screen, then runs out of the theater. Everyone was all quiet, and then most (including me and Todd) busted out laughing. Todd said he wished he had his camera phone out. Believe me, so did I.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last week, Todd and I went to see Iron Man, too. It was AWESOME. Nuff said. xD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyhow that's all for now. Peace and Love. *hugs*</content>

    <content type="html">My mother is in the kitchen right now, no doubt tapping her foot waiting for me to get off the computer (as she asked me a few minutes ago)....Sooo...to all the moms, grandmas, and wanna-be moms, Happy Mother's day! (I saw Speed Racer over the weekend....I'll post about that later, I promise.)</content>
