Allow me to kindly educate you about proper purchasing. Since I have worked a register at a semi-fast food establishment, worked customer service at a music store, waited tables, and now work a register at what is more or less a glorified candy stand (which I love), I think I have the qualifications.
A) Do NOT just lay your money down on the edge of the counter closest to you and expect me to reach over and get it up. This is incredibly rude. If you can take the time to pick out your item, you can take the time to politely place your money in my hand.
B) Just because I am working this job does not mean I'm not serious about schoolwork, nor does it mean I have no plans to finish school. Most likely, if I am working on-campus, I am also a student.
C) It's fine if you pay with a lot of coins, just don't lay the coins out on the counter and then look at me while I pick them up, one by one.
D) If I have to smile and be nice at 8 AM, so do you.
E) I don't have all the answers, regardless of what the banner over my head says. I can help you find them, but it might take me a few minutes. Just because I work here does not mean I've been all over the campus. I'm a liberal arts major. We tend to stick to our one building.
I know there are more things, those are just my present complaints.
LET'SSEEWHATELSEWE'VEGOT.
Visiting Kim and David was every bit as beautiful and amazing and brilliant as I had imagined, and even more so. There were flowers and swirls of colors and blinding happiness and the beach! and wonderful times. I miss having that kind of bond with another female human being. Sean is truly my best friend and the person who knows the most about me, but things are different between women, especially in our case. It's good to know we can survive basically everything. And we are masters of all the games!
Other than that, it's a slow news day, folks. Rupbert Murdoch bought Dow Jones and, effectively, the Wall Street Journal. I am not as deeply upset about this as Sean is, but I do think it's incredibly awful that one man owns so much of the media. But since pretty much every media outlet says the same thing ANYWAY, I guess it doesn't matter.

He's LEAVING on a midnight train to GEORGIA
***PLEASE GO TO THIS WEBSITE--
HELP U.S. CHILDREN
and send a letter to YOUR congresspeople asking that they support the SCHIP bill that is being voted on this week. SCHIP is a NON-PARTISAN organization that is up for reauthorization of money this week to help fund ALL of America's children, regardless of race, gender, or creed, with comprehensive health care (this includes physical, dental, and mental). This group is NOT the same as public assistance, and 90% of the people who use SCHIP are working parents who still can't make enough money to cover their children's health, or the benefits option has been dropped at their jobs. All you have to do is fill in your information and send it. (When I did it, it wouldn't let it go through until I filled in Address Line 2, so I just put "N/A" and it worked)***

That song is mine and Kim's drunken karoke song, but only in the sense that while we have discussed performing it drunkenly, we have yet to actually DO so. HOWEVER, I have slow-danced with my husband to it outside of our house by a fire right before we made s'mores (my FAVORITE) and had beautiful people over, so that more than made up for it. I love love love Gladys. And the Pips.
Naomi Watts is playing Draco Malfoy's MOTHER in the next two HP films. I am deeply disturbed. She has never seemed remotely evil to me, so this will be unsettling and possibly heart-breaking. Particularly in the last one. SPEAKING OF, I finished the book on the 21st, when it was mailed to me, and I am SO SO SO happy. I know I'm the biggest nerd. I have no shame. I rapidly read the pages like a crazed mania person. I. Had. To. Know. Who. Died. And I think the ending was quite appropriate, particularly since the ENTIREFUCKINGNOVEL was such a dramatic, depressing, monstrously huge epic.
& I am finished with HP-talk, you can now politely resume your normal lives.
(Two days until Savtastic adventures! I cannot, cannot, cannot wait!)
OH OH OH ANDDDDDDDDD Goldie Hawn & Kurt Russell's son signed a letter of intent to play hockey at my college. Goldie Hawn is in my top 3 favorite females on the planet. This is very, very cool.
What color is your soul painted?
My Results:
Yellow
Your soul is painted the color yellow, which embodies the characteristics of joy, happiness, optimism, idealism, gold, hope, liberalism, sociability, friendship, death, courage, intellect, confidence, communication, travel, movement, attraction, persuasion, and charm. Yellow is the color of the element Air, and symbolizes the sun, grain, and the power of thought.

& knowing all the time you're still roaming the countryside
I'm trying to drown out whateverthefuck is playing upstairs at work with Hendrix. It's kind of working, except through my "Gypsy Eyes" you can still hear traces of "Get Low" and this is not a satisfactory experience for me, nor would it be for Mr. Hendrix, I believe. And I am at least somewhat of an authority.
Hmmm.
We celebrated Bastille Day! Did I mention that? Probably. I am at a loss as to what to put here, but I'm at the point in my working day when, after having already been here 9 hours and with 2 still to go, I am losing my mind.
It's. Almooooost. Oooooooover!
I actually enjoy my job a lot. It's just days like this (orientation for incoming freshmen) that are bizarre-o and pointless.
Next weekend we're going to Savvy (Savannah in Steph-speak)! To see Kim! & David! And behave like Merry Pranksters and Mr. Hunter S. and play in the ocean and wear glitter on our faces (I hope) and flowers in our hair (I hope) and zillions of more kinds of merriment (definite). I. Can't. Wait. Cannot, cannot.
OOOOHH, Harry Potter 800 comes out on Saturday. No lies, I've had mine reserved from B&N for months, but it's going to be mailed to me. HOWEVER, I am still planning to brave the crazies at Barnes and Noble at midnight, so my brother can pick up his and Sean and I can run around the store with Katrina and Skyface (her 2-almost 3!-yr. old). I don't think I'm dressing up, though that was the original plan, since my husssssband looks similar enough to said Potter boy to pull it off. I have no clue who I was going to be. Hermione or Luna. AND NOW, I sound like a huge nerd. SOOOO...good.
"Tel Que Tu Es" by Charlotte Gainsbourg is my faaaaaaaavorite right now. And a zillion Vanessa Paradis songs, who I am now completely infatuated with. I hope one day Sean and I can live in a little house outside of Paris with a garden and two beautiful babies (except really, we just want one), and Sean doesn't even have to be a super famous and amazing actor like Mr. Depp, just his super fabulous and amazing self. I am going through quite the French phase. It's nice to know my high school instructor did not completely ruin the country & lanuage for me, though GOD KNOWS she tried.
I think they are beautiful!:
