news

10/17-ummmm.... ok i dont' want to spread any news prematurely because i hate when you say that something cool is going to happen and then if it doesn't then every one is all "oh what a poser" BUT i have been in the process of a promotion at work from a regular barista, to a shift supervisor. now i have been working for the death star for a while now and probably been a shift a long time ago. so the store manager mary, who totally reminds me of Ms. Nora Dinsmoor from great expectations, loves me. every time she sees the boards that i do she goes crazy and is all "oh my god honney this is absolutely gorgeous!!" it is funny because it is like she sees this little chalk sketch that i did and sees a masterpeice. we always have these super intense talks where she gets all close to me and is like zonned in on me and i think that any second she is going to burst into tears and hug me. needless to say, i have her favor. so she told me the other day that she wants me to go right from my shift manager training into the rmt program. i don't know what RMT stands for but that is what you do to train to be an assistant store manager! in case you don't know, that is huge. she wants to pull all the strings she has and hook me up big time. that means that i would be like second in command of a store. they would have to relocate me to another store in the area that doesn't have an AM but that is fine by me. that means i would start out at 30k a year. so yes, i am going to try my hand at being a responsible adult for a while. don't worry though, this would only serve as a means to help me accomplish my dreams and nothing more.
oh ya and i can't wait to go to bridge school!
my b-day in coming up on the 27th. i am only going to say that here because i don't want to promote my b-day but just in case you might have forgotten i didn't want you to feel bad. forgetting birthdays sucks, i know because i do it all the time. so if you forget mine, please know that it is totally ok and would never be offended by something like that. it is just a ridiculous guilt trip that should never happen.

10/14-so i just talked to matt for like and hour and it made my day! i love that man.
i start my shift supervisor training tomorrow and i cant wait. especially because i got new cordurois from the gap for work. norbert is doing well. i was worried about him for a while because he seemed depressed. so i tried to let him out into the sun for like and hour everyday and it made a huge difference. funny, sounds like someone i know.
i just found out that nate is going to go with matt, amber and i to bridge school benefit! i am so stoked he is going. i am so stoked i am going!

first of all let me just say that i love this color. so this is just going to be boring stuff that probably on ly my parents would read.
i just did some new work on the cd in burbank. i want to start working on a cd cover for it i think. i am really excited about really doing this. hopefully i can get it all finished up by christmas and have some presents to give out. i have writen like three new songs that i am planning on putting on the cd as well which will make it about a thirteen song cd.
my art has been going well. i am planning on being the first painter at the first songbyrd art group just because i have am starting to have quite a bit of stuff to put up. that sounds so conceited i know i hate that. but i will only do this once i promise. i set up a cool little art studio in the garage with josh and we go in there and light the nagie champie and let our souls run free.
work is going well, i hated it at first i must confess. i didn't want to really say anything about it till it had passed and now it has. i am starting my shift manager training on the 15th and that will mean a raise and more s'pec.
i still suck at surfing but in the process i have becoming a damn good swimmer! thorpe better watch his ass!
i am going to bridge school in like two weeks! holy hell i need to set some money aside. how much are kidneys going for right now on the black market?
i still miss all my friends and family so much and i still want it to be fall always.
i think norbert (my african spur-thigh tortoise) is sick. he sneezed today and was wiping his nose. and he had the white thunder. (for turtles the reah reah is white)
so anyways, things are going pretty well. i am eager to get more involved at the bridge (my church). i could use some prayers for my spiritual relationship, i am just feeling apathetic lately ya know? oh ya and i have been kicking josh's ass in halo lately!
