a lot of good things derive from "bad luck!"

So, work was pretty much ridiculous/lol-worthy today.

At my work, we sell hair weaves, wigs, extensions, hair products, etc. This customer who wanted to buy a wig told me that she wanted this particular style, in black. She kind of said it with an attitude, but I was like whatever, and said, "sure! I'll go get it." Now, it's our store policy that the customers aren't allowed to try on the new wigs (before purchase) because of sanitary reasons, blahblahblah. Basically, you have to pay first in order for me to cut off the tag and let you wear the new wig (from the package). I told her, "let me ring you up first before I let you wear this, okay?" She was just like "Look baby. Just give it to me, girl. i'm gonna pay. I'm made of money. I make hundred dollar bills, okay??!" If she were sweet about it, I would have let it go, and let her have it her way. But, in the nicest way possible I replied, "I'm sorry, you have to pay first. I can't just cut off the tag like that." So the rest went something like this..

HER: Bitch. Give me the fucking wig. Do you know who I am?? Just cut off the tag, and give it to me.
ME: Okay, the total is $27.05.
HER: Do you know who I am? I'm fucking Paris Hilton, bitch. I'm high profile, too good for this shit.
ME: -SILENT-
HER: Bitch, just give me the wig. Do you know who the fuck I am?
ME: ok, YOU HAVE TO PAY FIRST
HER: Give me the wig. I'm too fucking high profile for this shit
ME: are you serious? YOU. HAVE. TO. PAY. FIRST.
HER: fine. here is your money, bitch. i can't believe i'm going through this shit. i can't believe this shit.
ME: k, here's your change. (then, she took her change)
HER: I WANT A BAG, AND MY CHANGE
ME: uh, i gave you the change
HER: WHERE THE FUCK DID I PUT IT?
ME: IDK
HER: where can i find some earrings? nevermind, i don't want that cheap shit. (and then leaves)

and i'm not exaggerating at the repetitiveness. OMG. i think she said the words "bitch, and high-profile" a dozen more times than posted

I have a weakness for old folks. Every time an elderly couple pass by, I start smiling and squealing (in my head, ha), as if it is the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life. Or when old women/men customers come into my job, I respond by giving them 100% of my attention, and my mood shoots up 1000x. Yesterday, I was telling my boyfriend how wonderful and passionate my (70+ year-old) photography professor was about his teachings, then continued rambling for a good 20 minutes of how I want his mentality of life at that age. My boyfriend asked me, "uh, do you have a fetish or something? you are getting really excited." It is definitely NOT a fetish, whatevaa. There is just that warm-hearted vibe that you can't really get from any other stranger.
i'm not a creep, k??



finals week, almost done and over!

Is it possible to experience growing pains at age 20?? My legs are seriously throbbing of pain, but more irritating than painful. AHHH

I cannot believe spring break is coming up, this quarter felt like nothing. This feeling hit me because of the sudden weather change. i love ittt

Oh yeah. how is it possible that, in the past, only 3 out of 70 people passed my major's English Proficiency Test? I thought I did okay, but way to make me extremely anxious.

radiohead rules my life

So, I just got the blackberry and I don't understand why it's so hard for me to adjust to this phone. Its not incredibly hard to switch over to keyboard format, c'mon srsly. My eyes have been glued on these babies for hours
<3. It'll probably take forever to write this entry.

Also, speaking of technology, staying up early hours with my eyes fixed on the computer makes it incredibly hard for me to sleep afterwards. I hear a lot of noise/buzzing in my head, it's so weirdd. Does anybody get this?
i should probably stay away.

i'm not sure who reads this, but i'll post anyway

( fuck me for not remember the code for an lj-cut )

Life in bullet points

-work consumes my summer, working 10-7 daily
-i'm getting awfully close with my 34 year old manager
-i am very very happy with my boyfriend
-continuous dreams about the past
-many acupuncture sessions
-patching up old and broken friendships
-finally rode the finding nemo submarine ride, which was NOT worth the wait
-i know everything about weaves, hayyyyy

I burned a part of my lip because genius me decided to roast some cherries on a grill, then wanted to try them without ever thinking they're going to be hot.
idiottttt

no, it's not your problem because you didn't do anything at all.
unfortunately, thats the problem. you didn't do anything at all

I love where I work right now
Selling weaves, extensions, and wigs is so fun, due to ~attitude~ from customers. I'm not even being sarcastic, I really enjoy it. I admit, I wasn't used to the beginning because it was quite overwhelming. Did I mention I work in South Central LA? Slauson Avenue, whaaat.

I really want livejournal to be fun/addictive again. Barely any of my friends on lj update their shit! :(
To my active livejournal friends:
what have you been up to lately?
what is your favorite thing to eat?




Sarah and I at the Sheraton

SPRING BREAK!
Why does Cal Poly have spring break the week before all the other schools?

My final day before break was insane though, I'm glad it's over with. Thursday morning, I was an hour late to my final due to a big rig truck flipping over on the 10 freeway. After being stressed out, anxious, and laughing deliriously with my roommate through traffic, I finally find parking far far away and decide to run up a huge hill to my classroom. I strenuously reach to the top of the hill, where my classroom is, and suddenly wondered if I brought a pencil and a scantron. I reach into my bag and withdraw my hand, realizing my hand had a huuuuge cut in it by a broken mirror in my bag. I ran to the bathroom and took my test while holding wads of bloody paper towels.

I definitely felt crazy.

I'm going on a road trip with the girl friends for spring break, I hope it's successful

hahahha another update on life on livejournal

i started a new job as waitressing for a sushi restaurant. i love my boss & co-workers, but the disrespectful/immature sushi chef really kills my fun at work.

what kind of 50 year old man bellows out "WHY DO YOU HATE MEEE?" to my boss (who is barely 20) and makes a scene in front of the customers? afterwards, he'll hit on me and then yell at the other poor chefs and then continue to yell at me and other waitresses/waiters. i can't even make eye contact with this man; he is so disgusting foreaal.


and in my apartment living situation, the lady who lives diagonally from us is really irritating. if we have a couple of friends over and if we're being "too loud," a simple complaint to the office or directly to us will do justice. instead, she threatens to call the cops on us on random days and calls us "loud ass bitches." really, she is so unecessary.


but in good news, i have a new boyfriend, and he truly truly makes me happy :)

genuine is great.

yesterday was really amazing
seeing atcq + rhymefest = pretty much one of the best birthdays everrr

this week = ridiculously hot

I made this for my family after watching Barefoot Contessa on television and they loved it. I make and eat this daily.

Filet of Beef Sandwiches

See, this is what I do almost every night. I eat a very early dinner and then I run a mile/work out later in the evening. After I wash up and shower, I look at food recipes/watch the food channel until I'm hungry again, and then I end up knocking out. Food tastes that much better the next day, I promise.


I'm a sadistic fattie

If you have hurt others previously through unnecessary words, why continue? Why must you raise your ego and lower others in order to defend your status?

perhaps it's a cry for help. but, others say keep your motherfucking insecurities at the door. thank you.

HELLOOO SUMMER BREAK. It's going to be intense.

But,do you know what's really intense?

Having 9 flea bites on my ass cheeks after moving in my cousin's house. Thank God this move-in is temporary. Ugh, fleas are so menacing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleas




Congrats to all those who graduated :)

Okay, So. My family and I are packing because we are supposed to move out of our house by the 31st and I found some of my oldddd journals in my garage. Let me give you a verbatim journal entry when I was in the 7th grade.

I actually shared and wrote letters to my gal pals in journal/notebook form.
