UGH

Lol, I accidentally scheduled my job interview at the same time as Danny Phantom. *slaps self*

Well, not everything is disappointing...

My friends (friend), I may have made some long-awaited progress on the job front.

I went and applied at AppleBee's and they immediately brought out their manager to talk to me about what shifts I can work and what-not. They made it very very clear that they are in desperate need of servers. Then they told me they would keep my application on file and I should call when I turn 18 (which is only in about four weeks). I really wish I could get hired right away, but even if I have to wait a few weeks, a server? At AppleBee's? What more could I ask for? Free food (good food), a really nice enviroment, and tons of money (HELLO??? TIPS!)... Okay, maybe not tons, but more than an hourly wage. I can't wait. They pretty much made it clear that if I were already eighteen, I'd have a job with them already and I'd be starting sometime around NOW. So...... This is good, right?

BIG disappointment

Last year's yearbooks. We got ours yesterday. They suck- big time. I couldn't make re-takes last October, so my yearbook picture is that of my FRESHMAN year, not my sophomore year, not even some random picture from THIS year, but my FRESHMAN picture. Besides my freshman picture, I appear ONCE in the entire yearbook (nearly 200 pages, with only around 600 students to fill it) and it's on the page my best friend designed. Had it been anyone else coordinating the homecoming page, I wouldn't have been on ANY page, ANYwhere.

But this yearbook's shittiness goes way deeper than just me:

The Doughnut Club got an entire page summary + pictures.
The Book Club, Writers' Club, and Actors' Factory didn't even get name-drops. NOTHING.

The fall play, Snow Angel, got two full pages of pictures + summary + cast/crew list. It was easily the shittiest play O'Hara has ever produced.
The spring musical, Suessical the Musical; the highlight of my year and that of many, many others; what was called by many the "best show O'Hara has put on in years;" got two full pages, all right. Two pages, with a total of six pictures. Pictures of small characters. Sorry if you haven't seen the show, but the Cat in the Hat [narrator- in every scene], Horton the Elephant [main character], and the Bird Girls [the seven most important singing parts]: not pictured AT ALL. No summary. No cast list. The only words on the page say, "Oh the thinks you can think," "Suessical," and "Directed by Tom Hardy and Patrick Inlow." That's IT.

The last one I'm going to bring up (though definately not the last problem I had with it) is Prom. My good friend, Daryl Killian, was named Prom Queen this year. This was a monumental occassion for many people. She is not one of those tall, skinny, blond cheerleader-types. Far from it, actually. She a NORMAL human being. She fits in with MY friends, not those stuck up, rich, "A-listers." Yeah. She was not even pictured on the Prom page. Now THAT is fucked up.

I'm done ranting for now, but I have not said everything I feel about this yearbook.

Some of my favourite Evanescence lyrics and other things...

I've been looking in the mirror for so long.
That I've come to believe my soul's on the other side.
All the little pieces falling, shatter.
Shards of me,
Too sharp to put back together.
Too small to matter,
But big enough to cut me into so many little pieces.
If I try to touch her,
And I bleed,
I bleed,
And I breathe,
I breathe no more.

Take a breath and I try to draw from my spirits well.
Yet again you refuse to drink like a stubborn child.
Lie to me,
Convince me that I've been sick forever.
And all of this,
Will make sense when I get better.
But I know the difference,
Between myself and my reflection.
I just can't help but to wonder,
Which of us do you love.
So I bleed,
I bleed,
And I breathe,
I breathe no...
Bleed,
I bleed,
And I breathe,
I breathe,
I breathe-
I breathe no more.






Amusing selections from the 1925 Kansas City Charter:

"Ordinance prohibiting the sale of skimmed milk is valid exercise of police power."

"City is liable to woman falling into an excavation hole while avoiding the kick of a mule."

"Council may appropriate money to reimburse police officer for damages recovered from such officer for injuries to a child inflicted by officer while making an effort to kill a mad steer at large on the street."

"City ordinance, forbidding the sale of meat on Sunday after nine o'clock in the morning is not invalid."



haha I got this in the mail.

I wish there was, like, an all-knowing website or something that told exactly when the managers of stores are working. That would be really handy, and I wouldn't have to get all dressed up for nothing (I'm following up some job aps tonight). Hopefully I'll get to talk to some VIPs. I really, really need a job. This is really tough. In the past three weeks, I have literally applied at nearly twenty different places, many of which said they were hiring. I followed up every one, and never got ONE call back, not even a polite rejection call- no calls at all. It's really starting to get to me. :rolls eyes: UGH. Wish me luck. I need it.

Urm... New post?

Celia: I saw this HT.com and I thought you'd like it. I wish I had an extra $36.00 lying around- I would've gotten it for you (because that's just how I operate).







P.S. Anyone who cares: I WANT/NEED THIS BAG!!!!! http://www.hottopic.com/store/product.asp?LS=0&ITEM=267213&RN=101

[edit 6:13pm]

I've made it almost the entire weekend without losing my mind (thanks to things keeping me busy: running errands for my mom, running the garage sale, decorating my car, and taking naps). Tomorrow, hopefully, will be a lot better than the rest of my weekend. It's July 31st (a huge date for any Potter-maniac), and I'll be able to reach O'Hara about my schedule for this year.

I need to know about the meetings at the library for this week, so I can give my parents notice in time if I'll be going, but the teen group blog only has the July meetings posted..... hmmm..

Church was great today... I love the story about feeding the 5,000. Also, there was this girl there (she must have come from St. Mathew's) who was cantoring the hymns. Boy, could she sing. And she was beautiful, too. I sat behind her, and she had a very unique face, like something I'd like to be able to draw. Really fair complextion, dark, dark brown eyes and eyebrows (her hair was really really short- like, an inch and a half or so). Anyway, I wanted to talk to her, IDK why, but I didn't because my brother and I went to Wal-Mart directly after Mass to get my seat covers and this cute reddish tank top.

<3 Michelle

[edit 6:34] Over the weekend, I've found an overwhelming need in me to do something. Something important. I feel like I'm so involved in my own life, that I haven't done anything to make the rest of the world better. Problem is, I've been so self-involved, I actually need help coming up with ideas... Help?




P.S. I'm quite fond of my new "deviation," or poem, and I'd like it to be read: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/37175492/
