I'll get myself in trouble one day. Ah well.

Okay. I don't know what's up with me. My stomach has decided to throw a tantrum. And it hurts. So much.

Anyway.

I'm trying to think of something that inspires me so I can share it with you.

I can't.

My music is just enjoyable, but hardly inspiring. I haven't read any poems lately. I finished 1984 (the book) yesterday and I kind of hated it. It was so damned depressing. Winston fails at everything. He gives up Julia. The evil people win. It sucked.

I also liked it.

Doublethink, I suppose.

My main interest at the moment is bar work and making cocktails. I effing love it. I don't effing love my boss. Good thing I don't have to see him that much. But mark my words--the next time he speaks to me like he did last Saturday he is gonna get it. Me or any of my coworkers. How men like him are allowed to exist is beyond me. Ah well. He pays my wage. His bar makes money. I have fun. We're all winners.

I'm also rather interested in Zach, but that's a given (:

Oh, and my sister had a run in with an awful boss the other week. I don't know how anyone thinks they have the right to get mad at her. Because they don't. Not her. Particularly not men in positions of authority who are mainly taking out their frustrations about things that have nothing to do with her or the work she is doing her best at.

This particular man.....there are a few choice words I'd like to whisper in his oh-so-privileged ear.

Some people need a solid punch in the kidney. Preferably with knuckle dusters.

Quite a lot of people, actually.

Hey. I like this song.

25 Things That Make Me Happy

25. Walking out the gate to the car park and not seeing a single other person. This is even better in the morning when the air is crisp. It's like I'm the only person on the earth, and it is wonderful.

24. Fairy tales, especially interesting re-tellings. I have a book of fairy tales that my daddy bought me when I was little. It's still one of my favorite books. 

23. When the perfect song comes on to the radio. This is best when driving a car full of friends on the way to an adventure, then proceeding to belt out the lyrics like maniacs. 

22. Circle discussions on the grass with the girls while the boys play frisbee (seriously, that was the best summer ever)

21. Old ladies with old photographs in their purses. I love to hear the stories.

20. Children playing happily (not noisily or messily or crazily).

19. Making dinner and getting sincerely complimented on my attempt.

18. Train rides to anywhere.

17. When people are able to debate in a civil manner rather than argue and assert their intelligence/dominance/righteousness through cruel insults and ridiculous accusations.

16. Beautiful women.

15. Patient teachers that care more for a student's growth and development than grades.

14. The extent to which my daddy loves ice-cream.

13. Letters from my little sisters.

12. When I get my makeup the way I like it. This is quite a feat. 

11. Successfully placing random items in other shopper's trolleys at IKEA.

10. Being told I had a positive effect on someone I don't know that well.

9. Having what someone needs and being in a position to give it.

8. Books that force me to think.

7. Music that takes me to another place.

6. Reminiscing with old friends. 

5. Having more money in the bank than I thought I did.

4. Thai food. Particularly Thai tea. It always tastes like magic. Like I'm privy to all the secrets of the universe if I only listen closely enough.

3. Messages in my "Other" folder on facebook.

2. Old churches with ornate carvings and paintings. 

1. Soft, wet kisses.
