Brain Spillage #20: Boxes Schmoxes!

I love my new job. I haven't heard about a bikini wax, mysterious trips to "china", and sending expensive items to some Autralian through UPS Next Day Delivery at my new job. Although it is a relief to not be involved in someone's personal life, this is not the only reason why i love my new job. I lvoe the fact that i feel like im helping people and I am making a small but significant difference. i like being able to go home at the end of the day and pat myself on the back and say "Good work Champ!" and not "oh GOD i need a drink!"

Funny story: when i was about 7 years old i met a little boy. he had that permanent "im so happy so please dont beat me up" look on his face. he also had about as many old navy shirts as i had (which was incredible since my mom got all my shirts from the clearance section at old navy.) me and this boy basically grew up together and from that moment when i first laid eyes on his wire rim glasses and 4th of july t shirt (although it was probably september), i knew we were going to be great friends. being the incredible friend that i am, all of the memories that i have of him are either me beating him at teatherball, me beating him at basketball, or me just beating him up period. LOL. despite that, this kid was one of my best friends. i remember him always being around, especially during a very difficult time in my life when at 10 years old it felt like my whole life was falling apart... but after the innocent happiness of elemetary school, i was forced to go to a middle school where i knew no one, and was separated from the bestest friends. (to this day i resent that). ANYWHO, fast forward about 10 years since our first meeting. now, we are almost complete strangers. I barely know this kid. the cycle of life had pulled us apart and grew to be totally different people.


ok, so maybe that story wasn't really funny but heres the kicker..it gets better i promise you...

this summer ive been really thinking about my friends and the friendships that throughout the years i have decided to keep. its really interesting how many friends i have let go and how few i have decided to keep. and as i was contemplating my life choices one unemployed day, i get a call from Lyn from the county. She offers me a job and i happily accept. She also mentions she has hired another intern that i should call to ask if he wants to carpool to our first day of work. and who is it you may ask...that same little boy who ten years ago i could not go a day without! wierd how life does that to you right?

now, im nto saying we are all of a sudden besties again, but its nice to catch up and get to know someone from my past all over again..and maybe someday we could be really good friends. i am so happy to have the friends i have right now, i feel so blessed. NOVABS, you know who you are...and i love you all very much.

I know this has been a pretty serious blog, but more ranting soon to come. haha. lile i said in Brain Spillage #1, the blog reflects my life..and this is it! hahaha! michael jackson style!




so call up an old friend, catch up, dont be a weenie. you will be surprised to find how awesome some people can grow up to be...even if you are a metal head and they are a professional rapper nowadays :)









get out cha box!

Brain Spillage #19: What the McFizzles??

Oh life, how you astound me, betray me, amuse me, and sometimes even tickle my fancy. I have to say, these past coupleof weeks have been pretty great.

First off, i met the man of my dreams and now the most happiest woman on the face of the earth! (Don't correct my grammar!). I have also been employed as a full time food taster and am living the high life. AAANNNDD...i bought a lincoln navigator, a jetski, and a small island off the coast of Sri Lanka....



NOT!


ok ok. so my life isnt peaches and cream (LOL), but things are finlly starting to come around.

1. i am employed once again! the county i live in decided that they could use my awesome office skills (acquired from being you-know-who's slave for what seemed like an eternity...IN HELL!) The pay is good and although it is only an internship job, im set for the next couple of months.

2. school is starting back up. i cannot stress enough how eager i get to go back to school once august comes around. i can only be useless for so long you know. not an easy task man. im excited to get my brain juices flowing especially since this is my LAST year of undergrad! WHOOOO! IN YO FACE, all you stoopid lowlives who never thought i would make it past high school, let alone graduate college WITHOUT getting pregnant! HAH!

3. i am drama free! yoga really does the trick you know. totally makes me feel at peace and healthy. plus, after several bad experiences with bad apples, ive called it a quit and have dedicated myself to just being happy. screw drama...what the mcfizzles???






it is time for my lunch break at work...i actually get one at my new job! im telling you, it gets better everyday im here! im FREAKING starving, see ya on the flip side...and ill blog more often loviessssssss!
