Won't be around forever, girl

( Done laid around and stayed around this old town too long / Summers almost gone, yeah winter's commin' on / Done laid around and stayed around this old town too long / And I feel like I gotta travel on )

I'm of course back home now, and pretty much completely depressed about it. My only saving grace at the moment is the fact that I don't have to be back into work until the 4th, so I can relax at home for a few more days. I need the money like whoa, but I'm pretty sure I need my sanity more.

I've got a bunch more Comic Con SPN panel vids to put up, but it looks like I've been beaten to the punch, sigh! Oh well, maybe I'll still put them up anyway. Also, I am HIGHLY disappointed that whoever got the gag reel missed the very end, which pretty much makes me pee a little just thinking about it. OKAY SEPTEMBER 1ST, LET'S GET A MOVE ON.

I have so much to catch up on! And more pics to post of the San Diego Zoo that I never got around to doing. YAY for having a few days off before it's back to the AWFUL AWFULNESS. :((((

( OMG YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHO I'VE SEEN TODAY. (Except, okay, if you saw my twitter.) )

Tomorrow: Sleeping in and the San Diego Zoo!

Yeah. It sucked. Quite a bit. Not as bad as Election day, but still. I was on bar for a solid 4 hours with a line to and out the door for 90% of it. Stayed an hour late. Got bitched out by a lady who claimed this had been the fifth time she's come in here and we've forgotten her drink, I JUST WANT MY DRINK, to which I say, I'm sorry, I really am, we're really busy. Sorry. To which SHE says, I WANT TO SPEAK TO YOUR MANAGER. I simply turn around and point to my manager on register and go back to furiously making drinks. And then she threatens I'M GOING TO CALL CORPORATE. And I say, okay! Seriously? Corporate? Cry me a freaking river. Corporate is just going to be like, "Uh, okay, bitch." HEY. GUESS WHAT. At the end of the day, it's still just coffee.

ANYWAY. I'm washing my hands of it. BECAUSE NOW IT IS LESS THAN 10 HOURS UNTIL I AM IN SALT LAKE. Obviously I'm going to be taking approximately 40 billion pictures and spamming you annoyingly with them. Also, my twitter is here, if you want to follow the Comic Con shenanigans. OKAY, RUNNING LATE, SEE YOU ON THE WEST COAST. <3

We were informed this morning at work that, haha, oh God. It won't mean much for the 95% who DON'T work at Starbucks, but. On Election Day last year the company decided to give away a tall coffee if you showed your election sticker without informing us employees weeks beforehand so we couldn't, you know, STOCK UP ON COFFEE. And coffee-like accessories. I cannot even TELL YOU how busy we were. It was a nightmare. FOR A 12 OZ CUP OF BLACK COFFEE. And then today we're told that this Tuesday, we're giving away a free pastry. I just. You've got to be fucking KIDDING ME. And then they send a memo, "Oh, don't change your pastry order! Eeeeverything is under control." FALSE. I don't care if they say they're going to autoship 20394832 tons of pastries, SOMETHING WILL GO WRONG. Pastries, for God's sake. People like food more than they like coffee. I open that morning, and I've already told my manager that I CANNOT stay any later than 10am, as I have to drive back home and kinda sorta CATCH A FLIGHT. Seriously. Disastrous. Just awesome.

And by the way, customers of Starbucks, I am not your coffee robot. I am a human being, and I like being treated as such. Buy an espresso machine if you think you can do better.

Sorry. All I've pretty much been doing is working and coming back and pretty much working the rest of the day on homework and nothing else. Still haven't got enough done before going on the trip. Summer terms are glorious for being so short but maaaan, do they cram a lot in in 6 weeks.

I DID see Harry Potter on Tuesday and I really really liked it. As an adaption maybe not so much but I dunno! There were just these little things all throughout the movie that just made me STUPID with glee! I need to reread the book again though, definitely. HAHA the part at the end with the Felix Felicis. BEST.

And oh yes, oh yessss, 4 days until the trip. I am BEYOND excited. Just gotta get through this 6 day work stretch, SIGH.

Oh man, you guys, Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. I'm not as familiar with the latter, but I was listening to Thriller earlier and it reminds me so much of listening to it when I was a kid. :(((

Apparently Jared and Jensen aren't gonna be at Comic Con. :((( Okay, yes, I was super bummed when I saw that, BUT I get to see MIIIISHA for the first time! EEEE! And, you know, I'm actually GOING to Comic Con (the epic nerdiness of which no one can fathom unless you've seen it with your own eyes) and this whole roadtrip too, so I REFUSE to be bummed! Guess I'll just have to wait until next time for Jensen and I to have that makeout session, SIGH.

Today was my last class and final exam for Spanish I. Piece of cake, thank God. I'm glad I already took 3 years in high school. Now I only have 17 more credits before I can graduate! ASLDKFJASLJK I'M SO CLOSE. I think next month I can apply for graduation! SO MUCH YAY I CANNOT EVEN TELL YOU.

Yellow Fever was DELIGHTFUL. Now to bed. I can't tell you how excited I am to sleep in tomorrow until 6am. MAN.

Well! I'm glad you all enjoyed that. So much so, in fact, that I'll be printing those out and sending them as birthday cards, Christmas cards, etc. I KNOW RIGHT? I think this is the best idea ever.

OKAY FINE. Have some more palatable pictures instead:



MY FAT KITTY IN A TINY BOX.



MY FAT KITTY YAWNING IN A TINY BOX. He is currently out in the kitchen playing with paper bag and whining like a bitch. WHAT, PERCY. WHAAAAT.

My boss informed me today that she's moving to Seattle next week! !!!! WHAT. Aw, man. I'm really gonna miss her. Despite crappy schedules/work, she's really nice. We're even friends on facebook, heh. She's looking for an apartment in Queen Anne. UGHHH SO JEALOUS.

Yesterday I almost had a major panic attack when I realized all my pictures from July roadtrip and this past March roadtrip were not on my external harddrive. I absolutely could have SWORN I moved them off my old, now-crispy harddrive before that whole mess. I guess not. I called my mom almost in TEARS and she said to hang on a sec, and actually found that I had put July's roadtrip pics on the family computer back home. No dice with the March pictures though, sigh. Only what I had uploaded to the internet. Everything else is lost. :( Still, I think I'd rather have July's pictures than this past March's. There wasn't anything TOO new/exciting like there was in July, but man. It's still a major blow. :(((

Tomorrow I get up at 4am, go to work, get off, go to class at 12pm, get out, come home and pack, and drive two hours back home. GROSS. But UGH, I'M SO EXCITED TO GO HOME. My sister is graduating high school! WHAT. WHAT WHAT. Utter ridiculousness. I can't wait to see all my friends again.

Also, pretty much I just reserved a room at the MGM Grand in Vegas for Epic Roadtrip '09. :D
