day 29 - this is the final post ; ~~ ;

hello all~
or the two or three of you actually following.
:3
this is it, the final post.
the end of my trip and the end of an adventure.

i went on a walk with my mom and my doggie, she doesn't hate her.
so that's good.

we went to the coffee tree for lunch- i did a lot of the waiting.
most of it.
even on customers.
and i wasn't working.

it was a mess there, menus not out. tables unbussed.
the only reason she let them work on weekends/after school is because they're related.
:|
not fair i did BETTER
i got my second, and last, check.
1month and i made only 70-ish$ on check.
but i only worked like 2 hours 3ish times a week.
with tips i made a lot.
but i spent all that on my puppy~
hopefully i'll have better hours when i get home, i have coffee exp and waitressing exp so i will be more hire-able.

we went out to this little restaurant, it was lame, the food made my tummy upset and cost too much. then mom and i went to FAME.
it was amazing.
a-ma-zing~
i adored it.
c:
i am not talented like that, or driven.
Henry should go- and i should live with him in NYC
y/y?
yes.

btw, i didn't get my piggy.
the place was closed when i went.
even they're open until 4 on sat, or they were.
not anymore so no piggy for me.

THEN I PACKED
OKAY TODAY IS OVER THE END GO AWAY
OVER
idk what to type.
it's over.
just done.
i feel like a new person.
but still the same.
i want a new life now,
the same life i've wanted, but i want it MORE now.
i just need to get the shit done that i need done.

it was suggested to me to make a new blog- since this is over and i wont post in here anymore.
obvi Ejote's blog is still going- but they wanted one of /me/
so it will be made.
:3
keep an eye out.

day 28 - UPDATED the last day alone

but i don't.
mom will be here soon and i'm too excited to do anything but jump around.
will update tomorrow with details on today~

OKAY
here it is.
day 28 beginning to end.

as you may, or may not know, i wear circle lenses. bought from PrettyandCute.com [please say you found the site through ME if you buy from her. i get store credit for all the people i send her way~] and she is having a contest right now, best sign made for her store with her product on wins a free pair of lenses. i want them. so i got all dolled up, i figured i had work from 11-2[ish] and a vet appointment at 3 so i wouldn't have time for the kennel. so~ i got all prettied up.
then i looked outside,
it was rainy and gross.
no way to get good lighting.
:|
THEN i checked my phone.
i didn't have work.
:||||||
yesterday was my last day of work.
and i didn't even know it.

so i went out to the kennel, all dolled up, and did nothing but hang out really. swept a little. but nothing much. they never tell me what to do, like i only get in the way.
:C
not really, Ken was there so he was helping Steff in the dog room and the cat room is really a one person job.
so there wasn't much i /could/ do.
i said my goodbyes because some of the staff wont be there tomorrow.
very sad.
they love me.
c:

thennnnn i went home, and gave Ejote a bath.
it was very fun.
Photobucket
soapy

Photobucket
wet

Photobucket
dry

then i took her to the vet,
i got there at like 2:30 and my appointment wasn't until three.
Photobucket
she did very well with her shots again,
they had to put a band-aid on her arm after they took blood.
and she didn't know what to do with her leg when the band-aid was on. it was so funny watching her sit there looking at it like "wtf is this shit?"
ahahaha!
but anyway, i got out of there before i was supposed to even be there.
it was 2:55 when i got home.
so amazing in these small towns how appointments can be done before they start instead of the next appointment ending at the time the next one is supposed to end.
:|

Grandpa and Grandma know about her being inside the house, now.
Grandpa came home as i was still drying her, he didn't mind at all.
he even asked me to bring her in AGAIN to get a pic of her in her cute sweater.
c:
Grandma likes the doggie a little.

i waited and waited and waited.
bouncing around and looking at the roads to see if she was coming.
and then she got here!
my mom of course.
i was so excited- i ran and hugged her.
Grandma was making fun of me saying how i was so anxious for her to get here.
ahahahah
thanks
:|
c:

we had some cake and she opened her present, i also opened mine.
of course- something i didn't want.
it's still really cute though.
but it will just collect dust.
:cc
some day if i have grandchildren of my own i will give it to them.
it says something like- grandparents and grandchildren are what connect the past to the present or w/e
it's a cute saying. i'll have it on my desk always.
c:

i have to pack.
:<
i
have
to
pack
.

i don't want to.
it will be miserable.
i hate packing.
mom can help me.
she's sleeping now, 13 hour drive today and a 13 hour drive on sunday~ how exciting for her.

ily mommy sleep good.

day 27 - i do have a pinkie nail~

i need a shower.
real bad.
but i don't feel like taking one.
i will take one after this post~

work, then kennel, then home.
just like every day.

at work i made 11$,
and the kennel we bathed Buster, a pit bull, three kittens, and the guinea pig.
it was wondrous~ i love washing animals. they're so ugly when wet but then they're dry and they smell delicious~
Buster is healing well, but i have a feeling they'll put him down soon. since he kind of attacks other dogs. just a little bit.
Photobucket
this my my guinea pig.
so cute.
c:
Photobucket
and this is her wet.
i still don't have a name for her.
her fur will get even longer!
aahahhaha!
so funny looking she is she is.

i'm adopting her tomorrow,
thank you so much mom~
<333

i stopped wearing my band-aid today. i do still have some real nail, just a very very small layer. so it should grow back normally. i hope so at least.

i bought Ejote a sweater today...
it is pink.
and has a cupcake on it.
x3
so wonderful.
i love it.
it's adorable!
i'll take a pic tomorrow.

tomorrow is my last day of work,
maybe my last night sleeping in this house...
it's weird to be leaving.
i wonder if they'll miss me at the coffee tree.
i know they will at the kennel because they love me.
and i help out a lot.


i also~ made a cake.
it's a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.
and nuts on the sides.
round cake.
yup yup.
no one is allowed to eat it until my mom gets here.
grandam said "so... how many pieces can we have before she gets here?"
and i was like "NONE!"
and i ran away.

it says "happy b-day" on it.
my mom hasn't spent a birthday with her parents in so long.
so i decided i would let her celebrate it much earlier this year~
i have her cake, a present i got her, and her parents.
best birth day for both of us every?
i think so~

day 26 - only three days left

when i woke up this morning i was asked if i wanted to go to court with grandma, i said no. because last night i couldn't sleep. i was awake until about 3 or 4. which is late-ish. not terrible but i wanted to sleep as long as i could. i got an extra half hour by not going with her. it was nice.
i had wonderful dreams. actual stories.
i can't remember them at all now, but i liked it when it happened.

i took Ejote out, then went to work.

as i was driving i saw a doggie on the side of the road. no people. walking from one house to the next on the sidewalk. sometimes going near the road, sometimes near the houses. so i pulled over, and ran after it.
i knew i would be late to work if i took care of it myself, but i really didn't care. they don't need me there. so it's all right.
i took her out to the humane society, and they found the owner and she was all taken care of.

at work they won a "customer service" award. flowers and balloons. they will be in the newspaper. i don't want to be apart of it. i hate being in newspapers.
this would be my 4th time if i was.
and i just don't want to.
i hate having my picture taken.

Carol said i could leave because it was slow, there were about four tables of people just sitting and talking that had ordered meals and i had waited and bussed them all. but they hadn't paid or tipped yet because they were still chatting.
so i didn't get four tables worth of tips.
it pissed me off.
that's an extra 4+$ one of the people there was one of the highest tippers.
so i was extremely upset.

after work i went to the kennel and bonded with a guinea pig, she is adorable. she is extremely long haired. but she is also very dirty.
i am trying to adopt her because no one seems interested at all.
i am going to bathe her tomorrow.
i still haven't thought of a name, but she's a keeper~

as i was leaving i saw ANOTHER doggie. and brought her to the humane society.
no collar no tags, so she's just a stray.
so we'll see what happens.

that's all that happened today, really.
nothing exciting is happening anymore- now that it's near the end.

i get to leave so soon.
i am so happy.
being home will be wonderful- i cannot wait.
3 more days.

day 25 - don't judge me

today started out really-really slow.
took the dog out, went to work, no one came in.
slow day slow day.
then Carol left at like 12:00, her cousin died of cancer. i said "have fun" on accident. i don't think they were close though... i hope not.
:<

about an hour after she left and my grandpa was just finishing his "meal" [he gets a bagel, everyday. EVERY DAY] 9+ groups of 2 came in. and many singles. it was insane. since i don't know how to make drinks, and i am not allowed to make sandwiches[idk why? maybe they think idk how wtf] Kristie, my co-worker, had to yell to me how to make the drinks as she was making food. she also had to tell me prices because we had to ring them up fast. i didn't have time to look through the stuff.
it went- not smoothly- but it went. we finished.
i made half my paycheck in one day.
it was so nice.
i like work.
i like money~
CC:

but my buzz was quickly ruined,
my good day turned into shit.
and it started with my grandma judging me, again.
"you look so nice, you fit into south dakota so well. you got rid of that plastic hair. no makeup, the clothes, your tan. if only we could fix that hair color~."
i wanted to smack her, how dare she.
not really, but i was angry.
and YES how dare she.
she didn't know it was fake when i came, she commented on how fast my hair grew. and no, it's not plastic. i use real human hair only. my clothes look like shit, i am selling them all when i get home. just like how i bought them all right before i came. i hate blue jeans, i hate having my hair up. i hate not wearing makeup. and i HATE that you talk like this to me.
i am NOT myself here, i am miserable. so fuck you.
keep your mouth shut. plz plz plz.
if she read this she'd yell at me.
mom, i don't say this to her. i get it out here
<33

after that i went to the kennel, and i almost cried.
10 cats are being put down.
or at least 3 of them are, the other 7 it depends if their owners come back for them or not.
if they do- they will need to be treated for ring worm. highly contagious and very time consuming to cure.
as for the other three, about the size of my hand.
not even a month old.
and they're being put down.
because they have ring worm.

and one other kitten, she is too sick. while the other cat, who is hairless, has the same illness is not. because she is hairless and interesting.
while we have many kittens already.

it sickens me.
i don't think i can handle working there anymore. now that i am apart of the inner workings. and don't just go in- walk dogs- leave.
it's so difficult for me.
i will never go to a kennel when i have the ability to home animals.
i would take them all.
and Aoi wouldn't like that.

plus i can't do much, the dogs and cats hit my hand. and it hurts. a lot.

when i got home i went to dinner with the grandparents.
a steak house.
they serve only on meal there, a steak, a potato, a piece of bread, and a "salad"
the salad is a chunk of lettus, with house dressing. no choice.
you choose how the stake is cooked, and how big it is.
that's it.
wtf

but i got a virgin margarita so i didn't mind.
i only ate the stake and the bread.
it was yummy.

that's all for today.
no pix.
i wanted to take pix of the cats so you could all cry with me.
but she said she didn't want record of the cats because she'd get shit for putting them down.
well you SHOULD.
these cats are not things.
they have lives.
and they are lives worth saving.
>X

day 24 - i didn't go to work :cc

nothing happened today.
i woke up, learned i DIDN'T have work, and just stayed home.

okay so i did so one thing,
i let Ejote in the house again.
she needs to not be outside when it's so cold out. so i brought her in. they don't even notice.
she doesn't hurt anything.
plus i don't want to hang out in the cold with her.
so i hope they never find out.
mom, don't tell them.
D:



and i showered for the first time with my no nail.
it was so painful i was in and out in 10 minutes.
taking the bain-aid off hurt too.
i had to rip it off the nail-bed, or grandma did.
so much pain.
but it doesn't really hurt much when nothing touches it.
click the link below if you want to see what it looks like now.
[some people complained that it was gross ahaha!]

day 23 - it hurts so badly.

not so much right now, which is nice.
but earlier today it was just burning like nothing else.
it felt like my entire finger was broken.

more so when i was changing the bandaging.
and i have to do it every day for months.

so miserable.

today i just laid around the house, so simple and easy.
i hate sundays, i wish they'd just disappear.

work all next week,
then i go home!
i am so excited.
<33

day 22 - i went to the ER

the morning started well, really well. i walked/ran to the vet. to get Ejote her rabies shot. she also took a dewormer pill, and they gave me a stronger anti-bactiral pill for her face. she takes pills really well, and took the shot really well. she has a little problem sitting still, i think it's because she's not around people all the time. i can't wait until i move out so she can be. i feel bad leaving her out there, but i get so tired i need to nap during the day. and work. and volunteer. i still give her a lot of attention, just not enough for what she wants.
i will, someday.

i went out to the humane society after, there were three other volunteers out there today. none of them were any help. i mean, yes, they did some things. but it was more work for Steff to tell them what to do than to do it herself.
i was sad because i knew i was that way when i started, too.
but not anymore~
she told me to tell them what to do, so she could continue working uninterrupted. it was funny to me, i'm pretty sure some of them were older than me.

at around 2 i was coming back inside from the outdoor kennels, i pulled the door to close to behind me and felt a sharp jolt of pain from my pinkie nail.
i turned around, wondering what it was, and saw that it was nothing. literally.
no finger nail, at all.
Photobucket
of course, me being me, i took a picture.

Steff drove me to the ER since i didn't know where it was, she just dropped me and went back to the kennel.
my grandma met me there, we thought i'd need a shot. but i had one in 04 so i didn't need it, thank goodness.
i would have rather ripped off another nail, to be honest.

i don't understand my fear of needles, i think it's the air bubbles that scare me most.

Photobucket

they just wrapped it in band-aids, i wont have a pinkie nail for months. maybe up to a year. or it might never grow back.
i'll put a tattoo on it if it doesn't.
that'd be funny.
hahaha

i went back to the kennel for a little bit, then left because things kept hitting my "nail" and it hurt. a lot.
it doesn't hurt if nothing touches it, but if it does.
:<

of course, the main reason i went back was for my nail.
:333
and i found it.
Photobucket

hahahahah!

i went to the fair after, to help Gale[sp?] again. it was really slow.
she sold half a dozen things, which was pretty good.
Photobucket

and i bought a ring.
Photobucket
to make me feel better about my disfigured hand.

i wouldn't have bought it otherwise, i think. because i hate spending money.
i also got mom's present.
i hope she likes it.
no pix because she reads this.
she might be the only one.
:<<

i made cookies, or am in the middle of baking them.
the first batch was perfect.
i literally picked them up off the pan to put them on a piece of parchment paper to cool.
very nice.

day 21 - weight drives me crazy

115.5
wtf why is it going down all the sudden? this always happens on my... erm. anyway. today was a pretty darn good day.
got my first pay check, ever. 31$ plus some odd cents. pretty wimpy, but including tips... average 7$ a day for 3 days a week for 3 weeks~ is 63$.
so i made over 90$
c:
and i've spent just about all of it.
> u <
i'm so awful about money. i spend it when i get it, but if i don't have it i don't mind not spending it. i still haven't cashed it in. but i will some day. some day.

Carol sends me out on... little tasks a lot, like washing her car, picking up groceries, picking up credit card paper. it's nice to get out and walk around while being paid. she also lets me drive her car, she obviously trusts me a lot. and that's nice.

people flirt with me, a lot. honks while i'm walking outside, neighbors talking to me, costumers[thankfully no teens come in during the hours i work. so it's mostly old man compliments] and worst of all- people at the kennel.
two boys have made serious attempts at flirting with me there, one daring enough to ask for my phone number. i gave him a fake one. he adopted a dog, that's all i wanted out of it. i don't flirt back, but i don't diss them either. this town is too small for me to be rude, it would get back to my grandparents too quickly. and i would almost certainly see them again. and i don't want to deal with that shit.
so basically, i'm L.A.R.P.ing, as Samantha the gross.
oml that was hilarious of me.

after work at the kennel i came back, had pizza for dinner, then went out to the fair grounds with Carol's mom, Gene. not sure how to spell that.
D:
we set up her table, she sells jewelry.
and i realized- i would love to do that. for a compony that i really like- of course. so i'd have to find one.
but i could sell jewelry AT my bakery. and have "house parties" at the bakery once a week every week. like every Thursday right after closing time. or something. i think it would be really fun- and i'd get "free" jewelry. of course it wouldn't really be free, but it would be whole sale price. and i'd sale it for department store prices. or i could just wear the jewelry one day, and put it back on the display to sell it the next.
so cool!
and every once and awhile go to conventions and sell stuff there. even Anime Conventions, sell Lolita jewelry and accessories. get paid to be at cons, hell yeah~
i spent most my time in the dealers room anyway.
c:

i think it'd be a good thing to do.
two things i love are baked goods and sparkles.
everyone knows that, though.

day 20 - free cupcakes

so i found out this morning... i'm a lard ass.
117.5
that is, 7.5 lbs more than my scale at home reads. granted, my scale reads 4lbs lighter than a proper working scale[this does wonders for my self image issues] but who the hell told my body it was okay to gain 3lbs? i know i didn't.

i eat when i'm upset, or bored. and i have been upset and bored a lot here. and once i start eating, i don't stop. until everything that i was eating, the entire package, is gone. and i'm not very good at picking the right food to eat. breakfast foods are what i eat mostly. cereal, cereal bars, waffles, fiber bars, mmm delicious.
i need to stop with that.
this morning i had two bowls of cereal, finish off a box within one day of buying it.
Dx

i'm awful, really.
but once i reach that point i stop.

i stepped on the scale before i got in the shower, wanting to see "120" so i actually scared myself into dieting. and what did i see? 116.
hell yeah.
lost a pound and a half~
i hadn't... you knowed. that morning. so i'm assuming it was for that reason.
as well i'm on my... you know. so i do have a little water weight.

this may sound extreme. and it is. i like to set unrealistic goals for myself.
but i'd like to be 110 by the time i leave here.
and 108 by the time i get home. since i'll be on the road so long i wont have time to eat. i'll be to busy driving. so that'd be wonderful.
:333

i lost 4 pounds in one day when i had food poisoning.
i know it sounds awful but i wouldn't mind having it again.
-weight issues-
did i scare you, mom?
i scare myself, too.

i am going to the vets tomorrow to make an appointment for Ejote, so she can get rabies shots, and w/e else the vet says i should get. it's a birthday present.
haha

my grandma said things to me today that i thought was rude.
we do know each other, yes, but we don't have a real connection. not to me at least.
she basically told me i was a moron for dropping out, and that i have no chance at making a real life for myself without going to high school and college.
let me make one thing perfectly clear, i am not an average person.
by no means do i ever want to live by societies standards, i would not enjoy that life style.
i don't enjoy people, i don't enjoy sitting, i don't enjoy anything that has a right or wrong answer, etc.
except baking, my dog, my best friend, making art out of humans, etc.
and i will make my life whatever i want it to be however i choose.
and will go back to every highschool teacher that doubted me, and shove it in their face. and to everyone that supported me, free cupcakes.
:3

my mother says she feels like a bad parent because i dropped out.
i feel like she's one of the only ones out there worth being a parent.
bad parents are the ones who lose their child, weather it be by drugs- death- or the children leave.
good parents are the ones who keep their kids happy- and still safe.
which is what she's done for me.
and she is the best parent i could wish for.

Wednesday, September 16, 2009

day 19 - i don't like it when the rules change

when i arrived, my grandparents were informed of my medication. so i wouldn't miss a pill. they asked me what the medication was for, and i answered. they told me "oh, well if there's ever a night you can't sleep feel free to watch TV quietly into the early hours of the morning". not exactly like that, but they made it seem to me that i was not bound to the bedroom lights out at any specific time. which is nice, because being locked up in a bedroom when i can't sleep isn't any fun.

i have mild anxiety that shows itself as my inability to sleep, or my need to sleep all the time.

well, last night i was still awake at 3am and grandma came out with such an icy look on her face. she said "12 o'clock lights out, missy." in the rudest tone possible.
i don't react well to rude tones, i react much better to "hey could you-" because i am not a child. i don't need to be told to do anything, i make my own choices.
of course i didn't say anything, but i shut my computer and went into the bedroom.

the last time i checked my phone for the time before i finally fell asleep it was 7am.

i took a nap when i got back from the kennel, so all in all i got 6 hours of sleep. that's decent.

i'm still upset about this situation. more annoyed than upset.
i can't help it when i can't sleep. but sitting in the dark doesn't help, so why should i be tortured that way?

oh well. it can't be changed now.

work was slow as ever, i only made 6$ and some odd cents.
i took Carols car through the wash for her, she had chicken soup for lunch so i actually ate lunch. it was delicious.
i don't like it when it's slow, i like it much more when it's over crowded and i'm moving every second. when it's slow it's just... boring. i always thought i'd like a job where i just stood around and did nothing, but got paid for it. no~ i like being active i guess.
the kennel was slow too, i left early because i was so tired.
two dogs were taken, two cats came in while i was there.
they have a bald cat that is sick, i want it. it's so adorable. i'm so weird about what i find cute.

i would really like to be home, i'm excited about leaving. i like it here, but i don't like living this way either.
i can't live under other peoples rules happily. i have wants and needs that only i can provide for myself.

i'm really glad i was born with the mother i have, i realize how wonderful she is when i live with a different mother figure.

i love my grandma, i really do, she's a great person. but i love my mom more.

Tuesday, September 15, 2009

day 18 - not as exciting as i thought it'd be

i was up so long before i had to go anywhere, today. so i did something i wasn't supposed to do.
i let the doggie in the house.
^OO^
i made sure she'd peed and pooped before hand. and she was in my sight the entire time. it was nice to have her next to me inside. she is so playful. she was afraid to come in and leave, though. she doesn't like that... tile like stuff? i can't think of what it's called.

she was very well behaved, and grandpa and grandma don't know. and can't tell. so HA i win. mom don't tell them please, she didn't hurt nothing.
; ~ ;

i went to Carols house and found it with ease,
Photobucket
she has a beautiful house. and her drive way is shaped like an "S", so i got challenged backing out of it.
Dx
but i did it.
c:

then we went out to her moms house to pick up her mom and wait for her niece. it's nice spending time with girly girls, it makes me feel more... not left out.
i was surprised, i hadn't seen a teenager that seemed like a real teenager the whole time i was here. and i met one today~ so that's neat.
c:
i might go to the highschool for a day with her.
she's a Sophomore.
she bought me Taco Bell, how nice of her.
^OO^

i got my nails done, obvi
Photobucket
and then i had a Strawberry Margarita obvi it was a virgin
Photobucket

i looked cute today, i thought. so here are some pix.
makeup vs no makeup
Photobucket
my outfit
Photobucket
anddddddd just a pix
Photobucket
cute, right?
i think so.
i liked dressing how i want to dress,
even in an outfit as simple as this i feel better.

Carol called me cute and said it was so adorable how i work so hard on how i look when i feel like it,
and how when i come into work i don't care or try at all.
she loves my weave and my fake eyeballs.
> u <
i was like "thank you~"
Carol is so sweet, i hope i look that good when i'm 50.

there wasn't anything cool in Mitchell, so no pix of anything there.
srry

but i do have a subject to talk about,
the family foot curse.
when i was in sixth grade i had surgery on my left foot.
two of the bones fused together.
when henry was young, he cut his foot open on a trampoline.
when i was young, i stepped on a knife or SOMETHING [we never found out what] while taking a hike.
when henry was young he fell off his bed while we were jumping and broke his foot.
recently my cousin busted her toe very badly.
and my aunt broke her foot on a staircase recently.

and now, Henry broke his toe and had to have surgery.

there is something wrong with this,
our family is cursed.

this is my brother, and his funny toe.

day 17 - i only have one thing to say

wtf is up with old people?

Ejote rarely barks, when she does it's to get the attention of either a dog or a person.
when they walk away or aren't looking at her.

she has barked at my grandpa, the dog across the street named Muffin, and a man we just passed while walking now.
the owner of Muffin was there, he's an old man.

and all three times that she's barked around an old man the old man has barked back.
w
t
f
is up with old men.

like wtf wtf wtf why do they bark at my doggie?!
what weird people, i hope Aoi is that cool when he's an old man.
^OO^

that's all for today,
i am getting my nails done tomorrow.
lots of pix because i'll actually do something new and exciting.

day 16 - super boring

it's 8 o'clock and Grandma still isn't home.
idk.
she's at auctions.
....

i didn't do anything today.
i never left the house.
well i did, to walk Ejote, but not really.
i let her play with children, because i think it's good for kids to want dogs.
because then they get them, then they get to learn to take care of things.
which is something i wish i had learned when i was young.
i wouldn't have had to go through all of this.

i guess that's it?
i don't know, i really don't.

oh, i ate about 1/3 pan of brownies today.
i am REALLY going on a diet starting tomorrow.
and no more sweets.
or soda.
>X

update later if i can think of anything witty to write about.
^OO^

day 15 - home sick

i feel homesick today.
or more, i'm me sick.
i miss being able to be myself.
dressing the way i like to dress.
acting the way i like to act.
doing things i like to do.
i mean, i do things i like to do here.
but here i am Samantha, John and Mary's granddaughter.
not Charlotte.
and it's very difficult to deal with.

my grandma said "your strange clothes" when we were talking.
i have dulled my wardrobe down so much, i can't even stand to look at myself.
i have no energy to do my hair, and the fact that i am missing a nail doesn't bother me. the fact that my nails are grown out and need to be filled doesn't bother me.
i don't have energy to do my makeup, put on my contacts, or even pick out clothes. i just grab what is on the top of the pile.

i feel dead inside, i guess.
a droid to my responsibilities.
and it's really-really disgusting when i think about it.
i never want to live a life where if i dress how i'd like to dress i'd be looked down upon. and wont be able to get ahead.
which is why i think California will be a good place for me, mostly because i wont be alone. i have my puppy here. and it helps a lot. but i feel like i'm losing myself. if i didn't have the internet i wouldn't have made it this long.

i leave on the 26th, so i will make it the full way through. but i don't know how i will be able to explain this to my grandparets. i don't really know if i should, but the woman at the kennel said i was "depressed looking" today. it wont be long before they notice, too.
i just want my nice clothes again.
but NO ONE here cares how they look. so if you do you get a gaze of death.




i made brownies, which relaxed me a lot. until i fucked up and put way too much cocoa powder in. so then i threw out the batch, made another, and didn't have enough cacao powder. so i went to THREE different stores to try to find it. because i didn't want to go all the way out to the grocery store. but i ended up going anyway, so i got really pissed off.
then when i got back Grandma was like "i thought of something, right after you left. you could have made a double batch instead."
i was just like :|....
the home made ones aren't even as good as from a box mix.
wtf
i never mess up baking at home, but i do at other peoples houses. bakers anxiety?
idk.

idk i am just in a bad mood today.
i want to go back to work and make money.
but i don't have work until Wednesday. so i'm like wtf am i supposed to do until then?
sit around at home.
that's what.
and go to the kennel. the girl i don't like as much was there today.
i like Steff better. she's nicer.

i want this to be over.
two more weeks.
only 8 of those days will i earn any money.
:|

no pix today.
:3

day 14 - bat mobile

i made 7$ today.
c:

i have 30$ some, so enough to get my nails done~
and i need to make more so i can buy a present for my mommy.
she deserves one, i'd post a pic of what i want to get her but she reads this.


i still don't know how to make coffee drinks at all.
even though i've been working there a week.
like, i know what to do when i'm told what's in it.
but i have no idea what's in what.
it's so annoying, too difficult to remember all that shit.
i am just going to leave in a couple weeks anyway,
why should i bother to really learn?
i think that's why they're not teaching me.

Carol is taking me to Mitchel to get my nails done, she and a friend of hers are going. and they're taking me~
today i ate at work, and she said "wow, i think is the most i've seen you eat ever." i never have lunch.
i have decided that from this day forward i will not have breakfast.
just lunch and dinner.
because i need only two meals, and the lunches at the coffee tree are good.
so i want to eat that, not stupid cereal bars and poop.
cccc:

after work i came home to talk Ejote on a walk, she is so good.
i got my package from my mom with the bed and leash in it.
so i was able to switch out some stuff and take it back to the shelter.
a LOT of dogs were adopted yesterday.
so-so-so many.
but one of them was returned today.
her name is Lady, the man who got her wanted her to chase cats away and stuff.
she has no interested in that. she just wants to be a family dog.

and we took dogs out to take pictures of them for the website of the Beedle County Humane Society.
one dog named Vegas jumped on me, and got my arm all muddy since it rained yesterday.
i still haven't washed it off because i'm lazy and gross.
Photobucket

when i got back from the kennel i took Ejote for another walk, i guess school just got out because a lot of teenagers were driving by.
some guy rolled down his window and whistled at me, i looked then he waved.
i don't even look cute, today. no weave, no makeup, my hair isn't straightened.
people in South Dakota have no standards at all.

i saw two of the women who work at the kennel[but didn't work today] driving home when i was walking Ejote, too. she said she seemed like she was doing really well.

my grandma just walked in and was going "oh miserable little doggie, no food no water, so lonely~"
and i was like "wtf i just took her out! she doesn't get more food until dinner! her water bowl is full!"
and she was like "poor miserable little doggie~"
and i was like "noooo"
and she was like "lol jk~"
and i was like ">x you miserable old woman."
then she lol'd again and walked off.

funny girl~

that's all for now.
oh. my grandpa drives a mini bat mobile.
Photobucket
it's so fun to ride in.
i want it.

update
i took Ejote for her after dinner walk~
and i said sit, so she sat, so i took a pic.
Photobucket
i really like proving that she can sit, just to myself. it makes me feel like i've accomplished something.
even though i didn't train her.
ahahaha

this house was so beautiful.
Photobucket
like wowowowowoww.
so nice.

Photobucket
then i bedazzled her leash, my grandma laughs and calls me a five year old. then says "it's harmless."
and then it's over.

day 13 - my heart stopped in fear

this morning was the best morning i have had here so far.
i woke up, and went right out to my Ejote, she hadn't messed in her kennel.
i took her for a walk around the block, got a little lost, but found my way quickly.
i constantly stop and tell her to sit, she does, then i keep going. if she doesn't sit, i don't keep going, until she does.
she's so cute, she loves me.
i love her.

after that i had FOUR waffles for breakfast.
i don't think there is anything else as blissful as that.
it was delicious. we're out of waffles.
; ~~ ;
i will get more on saturday.

went to work, as per usual.
it was really busy when i got there, the ONE day i don't get there ten minutes early it's packed.
a birthday party.
and my grandma met up with a group of people to talk about politics or w/e
people had to sit at the bar it was so full~

my grandma said "you're mother would be so proud of you" because i carried out three plates at once, and made and ice mocha latte. and i bussed and was a good little worker bee.
c:
i like work, there is always something to do.
but i didn't get lunch, w/e i wasn't hungry. those waffles are still in my belly, i swear~

when i got home i sat with Ejote for awhile, put the stuff on her face.
she keeps scratching her face, scratching the scabs off. it's really not good. but they itch because they're healing, so that's good.
when i met her her hair was shaved down to the bone, nearly bald. now it's getting a little scruffy! i am so happy, another month or so and she'll actually look like a pom.

her ears are disgusting, though. i can't stand them.
she is not a Papillon. not that they're ugly, or disgusting. just, she is not one.
and oml it just annoys me.
like her ears perk up and they are still flopped over, it annoys me so much.

HERE IS THE THING THAT MADE MY HEART STOP
i was going into her kennel, to take her for a walk after work. and she got out.
she ran out, without her leash on.
but oh my lamb, she made my heart melt after scaring me so bad.
she stopped, mid drive way, turned around and looked at me.
"are you coming?" i swear she's perfect.
i knelt down and said "come here" and she did.
even though she had to pee.
ohhhhh~ so happy
c:

she barks whenever someone walks away from her, because she wants to be paid attention to.
but she should be napping, she's so little and i take her for long walks.
so she has to nap.

i broke a nail, i think today or yesterday.
and it bothered me at work a lot, it hurt so much.
so i decided to just rip it off.
[Carol, my boss, offered to take me with her on monday or tuesday to Mitchell to a nail salon so i can get a fill]
Photobucket
ugliest nail in america~
it's so thin and delicate, i hate it. it doesn't hurt anymore, though.
c:
Photobucket
i have a nice bandaid on it now.
:33333

i'm going to Inglorious Bastards with my grandpa tonight.
he is coughing a lot, and it worries me.
but Grandma says he's fine.
i hope he is.

microwaved leftovers for dinner tonight~
so easy~

day 12 - underdog to wonder dog

Photobucket
today i got a dog.
that is all.
c:




not really, i went to work.
and i made my doggies kennel out in the garage all nice and not awful.
and i made dinner.
and blah blah blah today was boring.
but i will tell you some highlights.

a man at work said "you are as quick as you are cute"
and he gave us a 2$ tip, most people just do 1$
i made 7$ like usual~

i got my doggie for 83$ instead of 100$ for helping out sooooo much.

Boston is on hold and might be adopted soon.

Bon Bon has to be held until friday now, a chihuahua that i have fallen in love with.

my grandpa said the people i work with are an interesting bunch.

i made dinner, beef stir fry, and Grandma said i did pretty good.
i had pasta because i don't like most asian food.
plain white rice is delicious though.

OH I HAD WAFFLES FOR BREAKFAST
-drools-
i think that will be apart of my morning regimen now.

i had to explain that "ice cold" actually means "frozen" not "chilled".
oml that pisses me off so much when people say "ice cold" -shakes fist angrily-

and i made a second blog, dedicated to my new poochie.
her name is Ejote.
this is the blog that will follow her progress in going from underdog to wonder dog.
and will be updated weekly, on Wednesdays

day 11 - work is so much WORK

today was the best day ever~
it started pretty shittily.
i went into work and they were like "oh sorry, don't need you today~ forgot to tell you~ see you tomorrow~"
and i was like "oh, oaky -leaves-" then i went and told Grandma and went out to the kennel.
it was so much work today, i have never thought of it as work though. it is enjoyable. a construction worker, who is upgrading the dogs outdoor pen, said to me "you have the best job." and i smiled and went, "i really do." i played with doggies and kitties all day. we attempted to tame a wild kitten, she laid in Ken's arms and snuggled into him. we think she even purred.
Ken is so funny! his hair is pure white from age, he has a big bead like Santa and hillbilly teeth. he rides his bike to and from the kennel and loves animals. he is such a good guy.
he peed in front of Steff and i, Steff said "what are you doing?" Ken said "making my territory" we laughed.

then we were checking if these two cats to see if they were okay in a kennel together. they're in the back room so they don't get seen[so they're not adopted] so i decided they should be friends. then i had to check if they were both male or both female, since they aren't fixed. and i couldn't tell because the orange one's fur was too long so i just grabbed his balls. and Steff was like "how can you do that?" and i said "i've had boy kittens with long fur." and she was like "that's so weird!" i was like "Dx thx Steff"
Steff is cool, she has like 12 kids! not really, only 8. but i like her a lot. she asks how a pretty girl like me got into loving animals so much. so sweet of her.

later that day i was helping in the cat room, and Denise asked me to get a bag of litter, but not really. she said "how much can you lift?" and i said "forty pounds" which was such a lie. i have never lifted anything over 20. and she said "great, go get me a 40 pound bag of litter" and i went ".... k"
...
I DID IT
i carried it all the way from the outside shed to the back of the cat room.
i'm pretty much amazing, i know.

once we finished with the cats we worked with the special rescue animals, the finches, the gunni-pig[sp?], the pidgin, some bird that i can't think of the breed and the....
Photobucket
squirrel.
she feeds it banana and milk, by hand.
it's so cute when it sleeps.
Photobucket
it isn't vicious at all. i want one!
she has a permit, i am getting a permit.

the end of the day was the best part, i am OFFICIALLY getting a dog.
tomorrow.
after work/kennel.
i bought her so many things!
over 90$
oml i'm insane.
Photobucket
that stuff was all about 30$,
what cost a lot was the exercise pen i bought her.
which was 60$
i'll take pix of it all set up tomorrow.
i have to barrow a bed/leash for a few days until the one my mom mails me gets here.
because i wouldn't want any other than the ones i bought back in michigan.

in the pix;
from right to left back row then front.
dog food, collar, treats, bowl[there are two of the same], shampoo, freshener, and leave in detangler.
bottom row - pink guy toy, doggie poop bags, cupcake plastic toy, rope toy, brush.

she is a Pom she needs a good brush~
oh i am so excited~

my mom said.
"welcome to the real world, where money is not easy to come by and each choice to spend means another option isn't an option anymore. "
because i asked her to send the bed/leash next day delivery. and she said only if i paid the extra shipping costs. and i was like "hell no, i have no money!" and so she said that!
what a mean woman.

not really, this is why i wanted to come here, this is what i want to learn.

i wish i had my pay check though, then i'd have enough for next day delivery.

day 10 - stressful situation

nothing happened today, since it was labor day. i almost didn't leave the house at all. i read some Interview with a Vampire, slept in until nearly noon, listened to some music, and ate wayyyy to many cookies.
i have been eating too much lately, i am starting a diet tomorrow.
c:

i constantly eat cereal and fiber bars. cookies and so much flour. uhg, i am awful.

when i did go out today i went to Julie and Julia for the second time. it was very funny watching my grandma laugh at it. she laughed at the same parts my mom did, and commented in a very similar way. i see where my mom got everything she's got. it's very nice.

my grandpa commented on my eyebrows... which really upset me. well, not really. but my eyebrows annoy me greatly, they are black, while my hair is brown. i believe i will be buying lightening cream in a few days.

NOW FOR THE EJOTE REPORT
i have personally called my dad and heard him say TWICE that i am allowed to get a dog. 100% positive that he will allow it. but he has yet to contact my mother with this information, and until he tells her, she wont tell my grandparents, and i need them to sign the adoption paper because i am a minor.
so tomorrow, if he still hasn't told them i will call my dad, make him tell my grandparents, and have my grandparents tell my mother that i am allowed so she can tell them that i can have my little fluff ball.
it is way to stressful, is it that difficult to tell her? just send one little email. uhggg stressing me out.

i am not enjoying South Dakota much, just my job and the kennel, otherwise i don't do anything here.
obviously you all see that. i don't really do anything interesting. i don't meet anyone new, i don't go out on my own. i don't do anything.

i study, work, and play with dogs.
what a lame and pathetic life i live.

i need to get my puppy so i can meet people while walking her.
teehee

i know i will enjoy nothing more than my trip to wallmart to buying everything for Ejote, a water bowl, a food bowl, collars, clothes, kennel, blanket, i already have a bed and leash for her that i have from previous dogs/cats.

Sunday, September 6, 2009

day 9 - badger

today i went to badger.
AHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAHAH
x1000000000
oml you have no idea.
Grandma said we'd be there not long. we were there from 3-8.
holy lamb.


let me explain what badger is.
it is a town, with about 140 people in it.
bahahahaha
Photobucket
this is their cute little sign, they also have a sign that says "Badger, a neat little town." it was so cute, but too high up for me to take a picture of.
they had a bar/grocery store. a post office. an abandoned school and playground. what else... a fire department that said "no parkin" because the G was scratched off. and some houses.
Photobucket
the post office was cute.

i also road a 4-wheeler with my cousin Adasin, idk how to spell his name though. and then we sat around at the park, i hung out with Sam the grandparents of my cousins dog. he's a hunting dog.
i also had "Sam's Cola"
Photobucket
and the man who owned the 4wheeler's son was named Sam.
wtf at all the sams.
so weird.

i did something else today,
i destroyed my weave.
i got so angry i just cut it apart.
i cut it a little to short, but it's like 2 inches longer than my real hair so w/e.
i have more than enough hair left to make a new weave anyway.
Photobucket
it's a dreadfully awful pix.
do you like it Mom?
c:

tomorrow i may or may not have work, since it's labor day idk. if not i'll go to the fair.
the humane society is closed, though. pooooooooo
:<
i have 197$
i need 225$ to buy and ship her home.
then i need at least 50$ to buy her things.
so i'm doing well~
only one week of work and i made 26$ in just tips plus however much i made in wages.
c:

i spose that's all.


btw, i have a hilariously funny picture of my cousin Even.
Photobucket

Saturday, September 5, 2009

day 8 - i've been here for a week now.

i didn't take any pix today~ because it was pretty uneventful.
mmhmmmmmm, i just went to the kennel all day.
it was nice, i have been home for about and hour and a half.

we have adopted out a bunch of dogs, Blue, Becca, Burny, and one other... i think...
i know we adopted out one more. i can't think of it's name, though.
i remember!
Rambo~
i got Rambo and Blue adopted,
i helped with Becca kind of.
i feel accomplished.

a lot of people liked Boston and this new Chihuahua that we got. but she's not available until Wednesday. and, tbh, i want her. and Boston is not available until she's fixed, and she can't be fixed right now because she's in heat.
LOL oh Boston.

there is a girl who works there, she says she feels like my big sister because she warns me about all the bad shit that can happen in life. she has not had the best one. she knows my uncle, and my grandma. for putting people she knows [and even her i think] in jail.
ohhhh lordy, how funny.
she's really nice, though.
c:

i did a lot of work with the cats, though. we had to put a liquid between their shoulders to keep them flea free. as well as give them stuff to make sure they don't get worms. injected in their mouth. and hold them as they got shots.
over 30 cats.
uhg, so much work.

i do have a picture, actually!
a mexican boy who works there on Thursday, -cough- ehem, likes me. he drew me a picture. i'm not dressing well when i go to the kennel anymore.
i hate it when guys like me, don't they know i'm a lesbian?
maybe i should wear a tag that says i am.

okay, really short.
as i said, nothing happened.
sorry.

day 7 - I DID IT!!!

wow, i took so many pictures today. you're all going to be like "more pix than writing, you suck" because i do.
i said i wouldn't take pix of the chickens, but i did. they looked so cool.
O w O
this shit is so rare in Michigan, so it's cool to me. here it's just like "w/e it's normal"
LOL
i suck

let's start with the beginning,
i went to this place called Putters and Scoops, or something. it's a mini-golf place with homemade pie and really good icecream. so they say. i only eat icecream if it has brownies and cookie dough in it.
c:
then my grandpa dropped me off at the state fair. the biggest thing in South Dakota really. there was a lot of stuff, i dropped off the cookies i made yesterday[okay so i did do something] at the booth i was told to. then i went and just walked around. they had really cool rides.
this is my favorite.
Photobucket
but i didn't get to go on, couldn't mess up my weave~ plus the cheeapest tickets for rides was 20$ FUCK that!
i have 192$ though.
O w O
-rolls in money-

Photobucket
they had stupid shits like this, too.
a worlds smallest horse, snake lady, and worlds smallest woman. oml so stupid.
stupid hicks.

and they have THIS
Photobucket
OML
i wanted to go on so so so bad.
i might on monday when my grandma is there to pay for me.
buahahahaha
i saw a guy fall off it
B]
so cool!

oh, btw
my Grandpa gave me this ring. it's called a bear trap.
Photobucket
you can't sell it, you have to give it away to someone. an indian melted down the silver and made it. all by himself.
the indian gave it to my grandpa <33

k onto the FFA barn.
Photobucket
they had goats,
Photobucket
and cows,
Photobucket
and pigs,
Photobucket
and donkeys,
Photobucket
and BUFFALOS,
Photobucket
and even a camel.

they had chickens too, but they weren't interesting.

Photobucket
i think this is the buffalo too, but idk.

what they had that really got me, were puppies.
Photobucket
i remember why breeders can bring people in, they are sooooo cute!
but don't buy puppies, go out and adopt them instead!

after that i went off to leave, there was no more neat stuff. so i started walking.
kept walking.
feet hurt.
kept walking.
OH SHIT IS THAT A?
Photobucket
ELK
LOL
oml this was so weird, wtf South Dakota

then i found the barn with all the cows.
show cows.
Photobucket
this was my favorite, the only spotted cow in show.
Photobucket
and this was the biggest one, i think.

so cool.

Photobucket
btw, kids in South Dakota play in corn instead of sand.
LOL

Photobucket
across from the cow barn was this, where they roped cattle and whatnot.
i think this is animal abuse in bright colors so it doesn't seam as bad, really.
it's good fun, but they should treat the cattle better. they really should.
they all seemed so afraid.
; ~ ;

as i tried to find my way out again i saw a a sign that said "poultry and rabbits" and i got distracted.
Photobucket
did you know rabbits wear eyeliner? i have never seen anything like this.
i love seeing bunnies.
c:
they are so cute.
Photobucket
and so different, look at the size of this fucker!
Photobucket
the floppy ears made me smile~
Photobucket
and this is the bunny i would adopt if i were to adopt a bunny.
it looks like a dust bunny.
i'd name him Dander.
/gaiafag
CCC:

i told myself i wouldn't take pix of the silly chickens, but there were some really beautiful ones.
Photobucket
a pomchicken.
cross breeding is funny.
Photobucket
the same, but black.
Photobucket
THIS DUCK OML it's like a turkey duck. wtf.

Photobucket
Photobucket
look how perfect this big boy is. it looks too good to be true. more so IRL looking at it was like looking at GOD
LOL

Photobucket
i learned that beaks are like this a lot, today. i always thought they were just like > not with the bump.

Photobucket
Photobucket
BIG BOYYYYYYYY[s]

Photobucket
i don't need to explain why i took a pix of this.

Photobucket
this chicken looks so ready to go to a ball. srs

Photobucket
ROFL
can it see?!

okay, no more pix i'll type now.
when i got home my dad called, we talked about my getting a dog situation.
and
and
and
...
AND!!!!
I CAN GET A DOG!
i am officially allowed to get a dog at home. i just need to talk my grandparents into letting me get one here. that's itttttt~
my grandma called me a manipulator.
okay, missy, next time you have a panic attack and have no one to talk to and can't hardly breathe then come talk to me about how you realized how a dog would have helped.
because companionship is my greatest difficulty, and Ejote will love me always.

i really want to prove how far i have come in being mature, too.
i want to show that i am not who i was. and that the past is... well. behind me.
c:

you will see, you will all see.

i didn't go to the kennel today, i didn't have time.
with my luck Ejote wont be there.
UHG thinking that depresses me.
-whistles-
SHHHHHIT
she better be.
; ~~ ;

i'm going pretty much all tomorrow, though. it will be a nice day.
:3

update later maybe?
idk i can't think of anything else.
