A craft store is the best place for me really. It's busy, but the time flies while you're working. And you get to talk to some really creative people and help them out with their projects. The other good thing is, unless you're working the closing shift, you get out of work by like twelve or one. So then you have the whole rest of the day to yourself. Like, tomorrow, I have to get up at five, but I'll be out by twelve. It's all good!
I will say this though, PEOPLE, PUT STUFF BACK WHERE YOU FIND IT WHILE YOU'RE SHOPPING!! Because the store closed at nine yesterday and we were all there until ten thirty trying to put stuff back where it came from. And that was with the entire crew working. So then, we barely had time to come home, shower, eat, and go to sleep before we had to be at work this morning. It was a serious pain. So, please. I'm asking everyone. If you're one of those people who just drops something wherever you happen to be, please, PLEASE, just put it back.

And, in ninth grade, my two best friends, Lisa and Jessica, and I decided to have a go at making our own manga. We spent the better part of two years working on the thing, editing and revising the story line. All three of us wrote it together, and it was my job to draw it. We finally had it all worked out. Then... CRASH! Everything fell apart due to the simple fact that I, ME, I couldn't draw it!! It wasn't that I didn't want to, I just COULDN'T!! My art just wasn't strong enough. Everything I drew was complete crap.
Every once in a while, I would attempt it again, as I got better. But each time, I had the same problem. Well, it's been about five years, and I finally feel like I might actually be at a place where I can pull it off. I've been locked in my room for days just trying to get the basic designs. I can draw well when I'm copying someone else's work, but that's all I can do. When it comes to drawing my own characters, it's EXTREMELY difficult. It sucks because I want to be able to draw this manga more than anything. I have a clear image in my head. But when I try to draw it, I mess up on everything. When I don't have a picture in front of me, I draw like I'm about 8 years old again.
Or maybe I'm just over thinking it? I don't know! There are just so many things that go into making a manga. Plus, I have to focus on things I'm not very good at drawing. Like hands. And feet. And clothes. And making sure the eyes are symmetrical. And I have a hard time getting the characters to look the same on every page. Not to mention, I suck at backgrounds, I'm terrible when it comes to perspective. AND! I can't draw people from the side!<-- This is a HUGE problem! URRGH! There are so many things I need to learn how to do. You don't realize how much is actually involved until you try to do one. But I want this soooo badly! I've been working really hard and it's just not coming together yet. Anybody have any advice?

It's a huge event for my family. We run our own haunted house. So, I've had the day off for months. We've been planning it for over a year. A lot of work went into it, you know? Then, today, my boss started jerking me around and said I had to work after he already told me I didn't have to. So, a coworker, Janice said she would work for me. He said no. Then, Danny offered to work for me. Again, no. So, I suggested Teena and Janice switch shifts to cover me. No dice. It was ridiculous. It was like he just wanted to see me work just to be a jerk. My poor mom was so upset. This is really important to her. I mean, you should have seen her face when I told her they wanted me to work. So, I basically told him that I wasn't coming in whether he liked it or not and if that meant I had to quit, then I quit. So, he paid me and I left. And that was that.... The thing is, it's not like I liked my job that much, but I don't want to use up my savings because I was planning a huge Christmas surprise for my mom. Sigh. Oh well... Hopefully something else will come along soon.

haha. that was kind of fun...
Let's see... I should write more... Ah... I know...

Status update on the James front.
Well, today, I offered to work late for Brittney because she wanted to go home and I wanted to stay. So, James and I spent the whole night goofing off. After 6:00 we literally had only one customer and that was a togo order. So, there was nothing to do all night. We had a lot of ... interesting... conversations. Some of them were a little embarassing so I won't mention them. James asked "Are you going to leave after Jeff (my boss)..." then he kind of paused and said, "After I leave?" And I said, "Yeah. There's no reason for me to stay with you guys gone." He kind of laughed. I asked him what was so funny, and he said, "nothing. I just worry about you getting a job somewhere else. You're so nice someone will take advantage of you."
Then, James goes, "So, let me ask you a question."
Me: What?
James: Nah. Nevermind. It's a stupid question.
Me: What is it?
James: Have you ever had a boyfriend?
(I have this really innocent, church girl image at work)
Me: Of course I have.
James: See, I told you it was stupid.
Then, he just kind of dropped it. Later that night, after we closed, I had to go to the store, so he walked me all the way there and then walked around the store with me for a while. It was sweet.
But I realized that, even if he asks me out, I'm going to say no. Not because I don't like him or anything, but just because I'm going away to college soon and he's getting another job. Plus, I'm still not convinced we would be a good match. I'm still sad that I won't get to see him anymore though. But, if I ever run into him again in the future, we'll take it from there.

There's this guy, that I've been working with for the past year. And he's a serious pain in the ass. But, despite all that, I recently realized that I have feelings for him. The only problem is, I don't WANT to like him... for a lot of reasons. Not the least of which is the fact that they just hired someone to replace him because he's leaving in three weeks. After he told me that, I almost cried. I have no idea why!!
It's so frustrating!! He's not even my type. I don't find him attractive... He's vulgar and hot tempered and he flies off the handle at the littlest things! He reminds me a lot of my father in that regard. That's definately NOT something I want. For the first couple months I worked there I was convinced that he hated my guts. Because he gets into these really weird moods where all he does is cuss and slam stuff around. And then, like five minutes later, he'll walk up next to me and elbow me playfully or something and start a perfectly friendly conversation. But, at the same time, he's such a great guy. He's really hard working and considerate. He's always making me laugh. He's really passionate about certain things. He goes out of his way just to help me out with the littlest things. He's really chivalrous. Plus, he's freakishly strong. ... he has a nice laugh. AGGH!
It's making work really awkward. Plus, I get the feeling that he likes me too. He'll give me this look... you know the one. And sometimes he says or does something that really makes me wonder if he does, but I can't be sure. AHHH!! I'm so irritated! And I'm really upset that he's leaving. I mean, I HATE my job. But, lately, it's like, when it's time to go home, I don't want to leave.
...this sucks.

Still depressed over Godric's death. But I've decided to honor his memory by putting down all of his dialogue from the show. I'm such a dork. lol. Okay, so here are all the scenes with Godric in them. Minus the one where the suicide bomber shows up and Godric walks into the room. I didn't include that one because there was no dialogue and walking into the room was literally all he did. (But he did it so well. lol. I mean, come on, Godric is seriously sexy.) So, here goes... I included the side dialogue just so you would know what was going on. Also, ALL FOREIGN LANGUAGES WILL BE IN PARENTHESES. Please excuse any typos or grammatical problems. I'm half asleep.

Bill: You knew it would come to this. She was just clawed and poisoned by a creature we don't know and we can't find. And now, in Dallas, you're playing with her life.
Eric: It's no game to me.
Bill: All this for a colleague? For the sheriff of area nine? Why?
*Eric's flashback. In viking times. Eric, mortally wounded, is being supported by two of his men.*
Eric: (Go on. I'm finished. Go on.)
Man 1: (No. Eric... you saved our lives a hundred times. We won't leave you to be eaten by wolves.)
Man 2: (We'll wait for the end by your side.)
Man 1: (We'll give you a hero's farewell.)
Man 2: (The gods wait for you in Valhalla.)
Man 1: (There will be a party. With meat... and gold... and beer.)
Man 2: (And women? Will there be women?)
Eric: *weakly*(... Wherever I am... there will always be women.)
*They all laugh*
*Later that night, Eric is laying on a pyre.*
Man 2: (All will be well. Don't be afraid.)
Eric: (I'm not afraid. I'm pissed off.)
Man 1: (Who's there?)
Man 2: (Show yourself!)
*Godric appears for the first time in the show. He's moving so fast, you can't see him. Suddenly the two men are dead, and Godric is crouched beside Eric on the pyre. He stares at him curiously.*
Eric: (Are you death?)
Godric: (I am.)
Eric: (But you're just a little boy.)
Godric: *smiles at the irony* (I'm not.)
Eric: (My men...)
Godric: (Dead.)
Eric: (You swine.)
Godric: (I watched you on the battlefield last night. I never saw anyone fight like you.)
Eric: ( I would fight you now if I could.)
Godric: ( I know...) *he smiles and lifts his head up.* (It's beautiful.)
Eric: (What are you waiting for? Kill me.)
Godric: (Could you be a companion of death? Could you walk with me through the world... through the dark? I'll teach you all I know. I'll be your father, your brother, your child.)
Eric: (What's in it for me?)
Godric: (What you love most: Life.)
Eric: (Life.)
*Godric smiles and bites Eric. End Flashback.*
Eric: Godric is my maker.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
*In the basement of the fellowship of the sun, Godric makes his first appearance that's not in a flashback. Sookie is being attacked by Gabe who's attempting to rape her. Suddenly, Gabe goes flying in the air, away from Sookie. When Sookie turns around, Godric is standing there, holding Gabe by the scruff of the neck several feet away. He turns his head to look at Sookie.*
Sookie: ...Godric?
*End Episode*
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sookie: *hurries to button her blouse.*
*Godric is choking Gabe, forcing him to look at his face. He stares at him in disgust. Gabe looks back, panicked.*
Gabe: Godric! It's me!
*Godric snaps his neck*
Godric: *to Sookie* You should not have come.
*screaming starts in the distance. Godric whips his head in the direction of the sound and closes his eyes, as though sensing for something.)
Sookie: Bill!
Godric: No. I am here, my child! Down here...
*Eric bursts in*
Eric: Godric... *kneels*
Godric: You're a fool for sending humans after me.
ERic: I had no other choice. These savages, they... they seek to destroy you.
Godric: I'm aware of what they have planned. *nods to Hugo on the floor* This one betrayed you.
Sookie: He's with the fellowship. they set a trap for us.
Eric: How long has it been since you've fed?
Godric: I require very little blood anymore.
*alarm goes off*
Godric: SAve the human. Go on.
Eric: I am not leaving your side until you're--
Godric: *through his teeth* I can take care of myself! Spill no blood on your way out. Go.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
STan: Destroy them. All of them.
*vampires attack the fellowship*
Sookie: Bill! Stop them!
Bill: Go! Now!!
Godric: Enough! *Appears standing in a window near the top of the church.

It's been an entire week since Godric has died, and I'm still really freaking depressed! I don't think I've ever taken the death of a fictional character this hard before. And the fact that I can be this upset when he was only in the show for four episodes just shows what a good character he is. AHHHH!! I mean, come on!! It sucks! I watch True Blood because it's a decent show (The second season has been really good so far) but I haven't found a character that I really like. I know I'm risking some angry comments for saying this, but I'm not crazy about Bill, and I find Sookie really annoying. Eric is good, and it doesn't hurt that he's good looking, but... from literally the very first scene that Godric appeared in the show, I was like, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN THIS WHOLE TIME?! At the end of the episode where the suicide bomber showed up, I was like, Oh no! I have this horrible feeling that Godric is going to be killed. But after the explosion, he was still standing there, and I was sooo happy! I was like whew! Godric's safe! Then, what does he do? He goes and kills himself. Although, I will say that the death scene was by far the best scene in the show thus far, and I understand why he did it, I'm still really depressed. He was such a good character! Every single scene he was in was awesome! And I also think Allan Hyde did an amazing job playing him. Ah... I'm so upset, I can't find the words. As a tribute to Godric, I am going to have another journal with all his dialogue while he was in the show. If you don't watch the show and you're wondering what Godric looks like, just look at my favorites. There are a couple of pictures there. So, I'll be putting the journal entry with all the dialogue soon. And I'm going to attempt some pictures of him. Until then...
