I know you're probably thinking my blog looks like shit, & I completely agree 100%. Just wanted to let you know I have no idea what I'm doing with it, so bare with me.
That was a public service announcement, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Me, Myself, & I
I feel like compiling a bunch of random facts about myself. So here goes:
Numero Uno: I loveee Rihanna, with a passion!
Two: I can find ANYTHING in my room only if there is a mess. If it's organized and everything is "put in it's place", then it takes me forever to find that place.
Tres: Don't mind playing sports, but i HATE watching them.
Four: I am horrible with children, even though i have two younger brothers.
Five: I'm the only girl out of four kids.
Six: I can be ready right on time, but I always waste 10-15 minutes looking for my keys, and mind you, most of the time the keys are right in my hand.
Seben: LOVE Red Lobster ! Not a big fan of Olive Garden nor Applebees (except for their desserts).
Eight: Even though I live in NYC, I've only been to 42nd I'd say maybe seven times in my whole lifetime, & that was all in the past two years...
Nine: I don't really have a favorite color, but I don't like green or yellow.
Ten: Cannot wait for the day that I can buy myself a cute little black honda coup.
Eweven: I cry everytime I see The Lion King.
Twelve: I'm considering pursuing a career working with pets, mind you, I think I'm allergic to cats...
Trece: Two things I hate most having to explain to people:
a) my age - I know I look like I'm 14, but it's sooo annoying going back and forth with people who refuse to believe I'm actually an adult.
& b) the bags under my eyes - it is a GENE/TRAIT whatever you want to call it! I was born with them, my mom & grandmother have it... so I hate people who like to advise me on getting more sleep when in reality it has nada to do with that.
& last one, I LOVE AGATHA CHRISTIE. I think I've read about 75% of her novels, now I'm trying to get into Stephen King. See how that goes... I'll stop here for now :)

"The New Girl"
If there's one thing I hate more than anything, it's being The New Girl.
The New Girl is my official name for I don't know how long at my job. Not excited about that at all, kind of wish I could jump forward a couple months to the point where I feel comfortable being myself. I've heard myself being referred to as The New Girl, or I've heard "jokes" along the lines of "if anything, we'll just blame it on The New Girl". Hardy har harrr !
I feel like listing all the advice/sayings/ or just words I've heard coworkers say thus far ( & just a quick side note, I make copies all day, color/black & white, 3 hole punched, stapled, double sided, binded (spiral, comb, & cover) laminated, mounted, trimmed, cut... I could be here all day going into depth w. that):
1. NEVER TALK BACK TO A CUSTOMER. no matter how rude, how much they curse you out, how much they blame you for the high prices, how many paperclips or coins they decide to throw at you, do.not.talk.back.
2. Don't do what I do (what my supervisor says after breaking rule #1)
3. Never talk to any of the guys, they will try to take advantage of The New Girl
4. See that guy over there? Yea, the one that asked you a bunch of questions about the prices? He threatened to call the police because of 6 dollars he didn't feel like paying... now he's testing your waters, good luck.
or
See that lady that was crying hysterically in the corner? She asked to use the phone once and stayed on it for more than half an hour. DO NOT let customers use the phone.
5. Coworkers favorite line to tell me, "I would never work in your 'department', fuck that" or "I want to see what she does when a customer decides to curse The New Girl out" or even, "You haven't quit yet???"
It's really not so much the job itself, but I keep hearing little things about customers & their impatience, and how clean&sparkly their mouths are... REALLY looking forward to that :]

Recap...
I did go on a bit of a blog break, since my life is very uneventful, but I've actually decided to get back into the swing of things, especially since I have more time on my hands.
For one, I realized that there are certain people in my life who i thought made me happy, when in reality they weren't. Letting go of them has attributed to one of the reasons for my happyness. I'm referring to someone who I used to believe I couldn't live without, who was like a brother to me, a shoulder to lean on...bla bla bla. But I've realized otherwise, I made HIM happy. If anything, I pride myself on how good a friend I am; I really really look out for my friends and have their best interest at heart, but with him it was different. He walked over me enough times, and this last time I realized it was the last straw. I know what I deserve and what I don't deserve, if this was a year ago, I probably would have shrugged it off and stayed friends with him. But I deserve better than that & I KNOW IT! (Just a bit of advice, if there's a friend of yours who has stayed by your side through A LOT, HOLD-ON-TO-THEM! do not let anything get in the way of your last hope, it makes no sense to allow stupidity to ever get in the way of something that's so real. Everyone knows at least ONE person, hold on tight...)
Onto other things, I finally got a job :) After months of doing long ass boring applications I finally got one. So happy about that. It's not the BEST job in the world, but it's something so that's good enough. My theme song is no longer "She ain't got no money in the bank" cha chingggg :D
Also, I shitted out a mighty beautiful 3.7 GPA, shocking I know I know. I'm enjoying it now because next semester classes are going to KILL ME, which basically means that that beauty will be going down. FML.
& lastly, my love life is still nonexistent, but I'm ay okay with that. I have so many things to be happy about that this is not even a bother. I don't think I've ever been this happy when I was single. Interestingly enough, I haven't even been looking. Nows the time when I should be dolling myself up and all that garbage, but I'm actually sitting back and not caring for it.
Honestly, it's just weird how I've changed. I used to be so depressed, walk around outside with a smile on my face, come home and be upset, but for some reason I have yet to find things to be upset about. Not that I want any, it's just weird how happy I feel, genuinely happy. How gay right? :) And I used to be extremely insecure with myself, whereas nowadays I'm actually starting to realize my beauty. Me telling myself I'm pretty, and BELIEVING it for once in my life, well... it's about Goddamn time.
