So much has happend this week. Its totally unbelieveable. Of course, I'm not going to say much about it. Just because, this is the internet and its not one of those deals that I want everyone to be reading.
But yeah, work has been totally draining mentally and physiclly. Well, not so much physiclly, but for the past three days for my entire shift I've been alphabetizing books. And Holy crap it SUCKS. The day doesn't start off so bad alphabetizing, but believe me, buy the time my break is over I just wanna go home. LOL. And the dust is UNGODLY. there is so much freakin' dust around the bookshelves its unbeliveable. I spend a good amount of time sneezing my head off. Some aspects of working have been incredibly awesome tho. And this is all I'll say about it.....
These past two weeks, I've met the most amazing person I've ever laid eyes on.
End of story.
-----------------------------------------------------
The people I'm working with are totally awesome. I'm starting to like everyone, even Rachel. But then again, she hasn't been my boss at all this week, so that could change by the time the cafe opens again...but for now, I like her. Heather is freakin' awesome, Charles is even warming up to me. At first I didn't think he really liked me, But now I can tell he does. He jokes around and stuff which is cool. I haven't seen much of Matty lately, but he was cracking me up the other day. lol. And its really cool that I get to see Scott a lot more now, and I get to harass him while he's working which is sooooo much fun. lol ^_^. We wear these little walkie-talkie headset things and I just wanna say stuff to him everytime he calls for backup at cash. LOL. But I can't, or I'd get my ass kicked. :-P
Anywhoo..
Life is a lot better now. I feel like I have stuff to live for now and its awesome. And I have the most amazing person I've ever laid eyes on to thank for it.
Got the new Goo Goo Dolls album!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!still gatta listen to it though!! lol. I was a slacker about that... :-P
well, gonna go chill untill american idol is on. L8r all :)

Been extremely busy working...as you all may have expected..and let me tell you, I'm exhausted. But the good part is, I'm damn well enjoying myself. Yes, its stressful at times when it gets busy..making everyones drinks in a timely manor and getting them rung out with only one register. But the people I work with are majorly awesome with the exception of my supervisor (Rachel). Well, its not that she's not nice, she's just a little insane..she has dreadlocks and like five piercings in her lip and she majorly hyper and insane all the time. You can definatly tell she works at a cofee place. Like the other day when me and Carolyn got to the cafe, she ran at us and gave us each a note...mine said "Hi Lauren!, I've been looing forward to seeing you all day!".....alrighty then...lol. She was really annoying to work with yesterday though. Ugh, she was just being stupid. I don't think she quite knows how to be a supervisor yet..but oh well. I haven't worked with her much. Scott (a different one then my friend) can get a little annoying at times too..but he'll be gone for like six weeks because he's having surgery. Bill is really awesome...I closed with him one night and it was a really slow night so we were just talking and we have a TON in common. We get along great ^_^. But yeah, overall, I'm really enjoying myself there. And wahts really cool is for the next three weeks while the cafe is re-modeling, I'll be working Monday- Friday. How awesome is taht?!? and me and Bill and have the exact same schedule next week so I think we're going to try and hang out after work one day :). I know how to make everything at the cafe now...well, as far as I can think. The only thing that sucks is the smoothies and freezes...those are really annoying. But oh well. For the next three weeks I'll be alphabetizing books and ringing people out. Pretty easy :).
THE NEW GOO GOO DOLLS ALBUM COMES OUT ON TUESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!
I swear I'll put my new lay-out up soon....infact, maybe I'll do that tonight.
Hmm....Honestly, not much else is new other then stuff at work.
Ugh. Im freakin' exhausted. Gonna go back to sleep for a bit. Later all!

I seriously need to change this layout. I have everything I need, I just don't understand whats stopping me. Just go on and put it up right?! Perhaps I'm just lazy....
Well anywhoo, Wednesday I went up to Manchester to meet Scott after he got out of work. LOL, was fun hanging out w/ him again. We went to Johnny Rockets for dinner and saw Benchwarmers...which was HILARIOUS. Gotta love Jon Heder. And him and Rob Schneider and David Spade made a better team then I originally thought. But yeah, It was a hilarious movie. And the company was good too. ^_^
My first day of work was interesting...well, my first day wasn't exaclty work...I went in and saw the training supervisor and I filled out paperwork and we went over the employee handbook. And surprisingly, all of that took almost my entire shift. I actually got out about an hour early that day. It was pretty boring, but the training supervisor (Matty) seems pretty cool, if nothing else though, he is a tad bit strange...lol. But I guess everyone is that works there....even me! lol. On Friday I did mostly register training because I might have to do that when the cafe closes. So I learned all about that..And its not that hard. Pretty much the same as what I've been doing. And the screen tells you exactly what to do. The only challenge I really had was remembering my numbers that you put in the register before you ring somebody out. LOL. Then Saturday I started making drinks. And honestly, its not as hard as I originally thought...Everything is pretty much the same, but with a slight variation. The only pain in the ass is the smoothie drinks. But oh well, nobody really orders them anyways. So yeah, its going pretty well. I was a little bit shakey at first but I'm starting to warm up to things. It'll take some getting used to, but thats how it was when I started my other job too.
Speaking of my other job, I went in there yesterday to get my paycheck... And yes, I did see Cat. Nothing really seemed to be wrong...I mean, the only weird thing was that she was about to go on her break just as I was coming in...like she didn't wanna see me or something. And Yeah, I didn't wanna see her either, but I acted nice and everything went pretty good I think. I also saw Susan and Rhonda..OMG, it was so awesome seeing Rhonda again. LOL, she's turned into an even bigger bitch then she was when I worked with her. LOL, its awesome. So, me her and Susan took a little break and got a coffee, and went outside. After that, I saw Susie and Erica ^_^. After all that hoopla died down...I went across the hall to see Ryan ^_^. Talked with him for a while, then went up to Blue Moon and saw Lisa. Of course talked to Lisa for a wicked long time. lol. It felt so weird being back in there....omg...lol. Oh well. Definatly not going back there for a while..unless I have to go to the bank. And its almost worth the ATM fee to not go back.
Anywhoo, after that, went to Quizno's for dinner and went to Borders to use my personal shopping day. Got the DaVinci code, Pretty in Pink on DVD, and the first book in the new series by Anthony Horowitz. Gatta get reading! lol ^_^.
American idol tonight....Im still pissed that Bucky got kicked off Last week. I LOVE him!!! He was on Jay Leno that night...lol, that was funny. Ugh. I can't believe I still watch that dumb-ass show. It just makes me angry. lol. Oh well....I guess I'll never learn.
Well tonights work is 3-11. Yupyup....Hopefully I'll get out at 10. Although there will be no traffic coming home which will be awesome ^_^.
Ugh. speaking of that, gatta go get ready. L8r dayz!!

Past week since I've updated last has been pretty interesting. I guess I'll start with my last day of work.
Went pretty well...It was a little annoying though becaues I couldn't just take it easy like I wanted to. I mean, granted, there was plenty of "easy" times ebcause it was so dead. But At least three people came in for giftwrapping which I know I'm good at, but its still a pain in the ass. I worked with Sarah so it was an alright night. The only bad part was when I came in. Cat left early (as ussual) and as she was leaving, she didn't even say "goodbye" to me. She just walked out and didn't say a word. Can you fucking believe that?? Ive worked with her for three years and she just walks out on my last day. I'm not saying she had to like worship the fact that I left, but a "thank you" may have been in order. Seriously. WTF. I'm so pissed about that.
Honestly, if theres anything I'm gonna miss about
On Sunday, I went over to Lauren's house and helped her put together some blankets for the kids she sends them out to. (see her link under my "Friends pages" section) And I think I've got an idea of how to make my own. ^_^ So maybe I'll make a few to donate to her and one for myself :-D. After I went to Lauren's, I went over to Denise's house for dinner and chilled with my dad, denise, and Derek. was a pretty good time :).
Monday was pretty much a chill day...didn't really do much. went up to Borders and got a coffee and read American idol Magazine. Yesterday was a chill day also...then I went out to diner w/ Claudia, Tina, and Susan. We went to Texas Road House :). Was a lot of fun. Then I came home and watched the remainder of American Idol...(which I won't comment on) and fixed some bullshit that went on w/ my computer. Ended up going to bed around 2am. Thats pretty much been the average for me lately though. lol.
Tonight. Its out w/ Scott..Im gonna meet him at Borders in Manchester and we're gonna grab some dinner and maybe catch a movie. Should be fun :)
In Other news....Angelo called me on Sunday. He sent me a text message apologizing for not calling me a while ago when I messaged him about all that crap that happend w/ Dom. So yeah, He called me on Sunday. Was AWESOME to talk to him again. He is such a sweet guy. I know I've said it before, but it stays true even now. He's just so freakin awesome. Even if he is totally random and sometimes discusting, still love the kid. ^_^
Anyways...thats it for now. maybe more l8r.

I swear, I'm gonna kill everyone who voted on American Idol last night. Where the hell was everyone?!?!?! Mandisa did NOT deserve to go. Seriously, I'll slap america one... She was awesome! She was the only female singer that I've actually really enjoyed. She is just so awesome. Well, the good news is, Barry Manillow said that if she didn't win, he would definatly sign her. So, she'll be coming out w/ an album at some point I would imagine. I just don't understand it. She was awesome. I mean, granted, Nobody was really great tuesday night. Although I did think Paris and Mandisa were the best out of everyone else. I really want them to get rid of Kelly and Katherine. They're just starting to annoy me. Especially Kelly. But anywhoo, enough American Idol rant. I was already almost in tears last night. lol, (isn't that so damn pathetic? crying over a stupid show??!)
Should have a new layout coming pretty soon. I'm almost done with the top graphic at least. It's pretty similar to the ones I've been doing, but this one took a while to get right. But yeah, it'll be up pretty soon :). Just have to put together some more pictures and decide on a design for it.
Well, I got a call from the training supervisor at Borders and my first day is going to be on Tuesday. I'm really nervous. lol. I'm sooo nervous. The main thing is I'm afraid that I'm not gonna remember how to make every freakin' drink. lol. But the good news is that I think there has to be two people at the cafe at all times..so at least they'll be someone with me if I have any issues. I just can't wait to finally get out of Papyrus...I'll be dancin' a jig when that happens. I hope Kristin is getting along good in there. She told me she's like incredibly nervous, But thats okay, im sure she's good ^_^.
Despite the fact that everything has been going pretty good for me for the past week or so, I still really miss Dom. He was just so awesome and everything I want in a guy. Ive said this crap so many times over and over again, but still. Can't help it.
Ugh. Been so damn bored...hope things start to pick up a little bit with my new job.
Anywhoo, now for my final thought:
John in the rain= SEXY.
;-)

The countdown till my last day at papyrus as begun. 5 days bitches.
Sometimes I wonder why I still have this blog. I never seem to write about anything of any importance. Probably because my life consists of nothing thats really important. I mean, if you haven't noticed before, my life is pretty freakin boring. If you read back at my older entries from like 2 years ago, they were all pretty much the same. Complaining about how bad school sucks, what little events that may have happend that day, and what guys I thought were hott at the time. Or maybe once a week I'd talk about American Idol and who I thought was good and bad...and of course swooning over the guys. Any of this sounding familliar? For my regular readers, it probably does. And some of it probably holds true today. But seriously, where is this thing going? what is it accomplishing? whats the overall point of writing about my boring life and having the possibility of total strangers randomly coming across it and reading about me?
Well, I'll tell you.
But first, I'll tell you what brought this up. I ran into Ryan on Friday (hi ryan, if you're reading this. :-P lol) And he said something like he was reading myblog but stopped for a while because it was pretty eventless, but then he started reading it again and read all the stuff I wrote recently about breaking up w/ Dom. He complimented me on the way I didn't show my emotions much at work lately..he said he never would have guessed that something was wrong. Which in my opinion, definatly says something about my acting skills...lol, but anywhoo. Yeah, that really got me thinking about this. And I started asking myself the questions I mentioned earlier. For some really strange and unknown reason. But I think I've come up with a logical explanation for why I do have this. Sure, I've thought about deleting it a few times. But overall, I think it's a good thing.
Where is this thing going? Well, Nowhere. It's just a little idea of what my life is like. It's only going where my life goes wether thats good or bad. In literature (except modern american) stories have a start, rising action, climax, and falling action. (Wow, i did learn something in highschool....impressed?) Not that I'm trying to write a book here, but I think I've accomplished that in telling the story of my life. I've had many ups and downs just like the normal person. If I wrote about everything thats good, or everything tahts bad, that'd be just as boring. Correct?
So I guess its a good thing that I'm a little random at times just to have something to say.
What is this accomplishing? Its giving people who don't see me all that much a chance to read about what i've been up to. Of course, they could just ask, but sometimes I don't get to talk to everyone. So, if they feel led, they can read about what I'm doing. I have a lot of friends from out of state too so, yeah.
Whats the overall point of writing about my boring life and having the possibility of total strangers randomly coming across it and reading about me? The answer to this is pretty much the main reason why I keep this. I don't know why, but for some reason, letting my true emotions out on here, and knowing that someone is reading it makes me feel so much better. Even if I have no idea who that person/people are and they're probably just someone stumbling on my page by accident. Just knowing that someone is raeding it helps me a lot. I really can't explain it. I don't know if I'm just looking for pitty, or what. But letting my feelings out in some other place than my private journal that no one will read is very comforting. I know I don't necessarilyhave to do it on here...I could just talk to my friends. but for some reason I have problems doing that. I feel like I'm bothering people with my issues and it just doesn't sit well with me. I know talking isn't a sign of weakness, but whatcha gonna do? Its very nice to get feellings out in a public way, at least for me.
Well, I hope this entry cleared some things up. I know thinking about all of it did for me. So...with all the above said, I'm going to bed. see you cats on the flip flop!
