Got to say, it's a little annoying trying to come up with a new title every time, so from now on unless it's really important, I'm not going to bother, just to show my commitment level.
Had fun at school today, once again had no idea what my calculus teacher was talking about, but that's water so far under the bridge. Other than that it was mostly me trying not to fall asleep in class. Which is actually made easier by the fact that despite the freezing temperatures outside, the school wide air conditioner is ALWAYS on, so here we all are huddled in our seats trying not to freeze to death.
Work was better, at least slightly. Of course my mother had to come in, and since we're fighting, I wasn't that happy to see her, and after I left to go do said job, she decided to spread the word to my coworkers how ungrateful I am, yippee. Whatever, that's her problem if she wants to be petty, I was mad, but now I'm over it.
But while on the topic of work, I just want to add yet another helpful hint to the masses out there. Ordering your drink after waiting in line behind people, then immediately coming over to the hand-off-bar and asking me where your tall latte is? Not helpful, and it just makes you look stupid, just thought you should know. Oh and by the way, telling me you want your money back because you can't wait anymore since you have food in the oven at home? What the f**k?!? First of all, when in a rush, I am working as fast as I can, which means that I will get to your drink order in due time, just because you are in a hurry doesn't mean that I'm not, or better yet, that that makes you my number 1 priority. Second, who the hell puts food in the oven and then LEAVES the house to get coffee? I hope your house burns down, it'll teach you a lesson.
Oh god and your kids? For the love of all that it holy, I am not, I repeat NOT your baby sitter, which means asking me to look after your kid while I'm already doing the job that I'm actually paid to do, yeah that's not going to happen. Get over yourself, if you can't trust your kids alone for the three minutes it takes for you to pee, then don't pick them up from school and immediately head for my store intent on giving your already annoying as shit kids more sugar. And then leaving them in my completely incapable hands. I hate kids, and that means that I hate yours, and there is no guarantee that they will be alive after you return. I'll make your coffee, but I will not make your problems my own, so once again get over yourself.
Now to change topics. I finally got around to seeing the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and let me just applaud. One of the best movies I have ever seen. There isn't any more that I can say than that.
So that was my Friday, I hope all of your Friday the 13ths were as fun/annoying/boring as mine, because that means that you weren't all killed by serial killers with white masks and chainsaws. And more importantly, that means that you are free to return and read my blog again in the future.
Kisses,

Ok, well, shit it has been a long time since I have posted. Sorry about that...
So where to start? How about letting you all know how the dentist went? Three cavities, which was actually a lot better than I thought it would be. All three are now filled and pain free making me a happy girl.
After that I actually did make a post, but then I forgot to post it for real, and then forgot to do it with three others and trying to fix that now would just be confusing and annoying, so oh well there.
I hope everybody had a great holiday time, Happy Chrismakwanzicah to everybody belatedly... I know I had a good time, got an x-box, and that remote controlled helium shark thing which, as it turns out, is really freaking awesome to play with, no matter how old you are.
Break was nice, got a lot of work hours in. And since everybody else on good old Mercer Island was in like Hawaii or Fiji or something, I actually didn't have to mentally strangle anyone, which is always a good thing.
Speaking of work, I'd like to think that I have grown as a Starbucks barista, enough so that not only am I a shift supervisor now, but that I can officially smile and treat a customer with respect and dignity even when according to them I don't even rate any sort of f*****g acknowledgment.
I think it shows admiral restraint on my part when customers (yes plural, more than one person does this on a regular basis, which surprises the f**k out of me) don't even finish ordering their damn drink. Tall vanilla is NOT I repeat NOT a full order, that is a partial order which can end in many different ways, such as latte, or cappuccino, or mocha, frappuchino, caramel macchiato, the least seriously goes on. And when I finish in my nice, perky voice, "latte?" And you look at me like I'm some kind of retarded freak, that does NOT make me want to serve you any more. So for god's sake, finish your f*****g order and get the hell out of my line, because I can't read your damn mind, and by the way when you can't even finsih a sentence it doesn't really make me think that you have a lot of gray matter yourself. Remember, I'm paid to be nice to you, and your paying me not to spit in your food, However, no where does it say on our menu that we enjoy putting up with your bullshit!
There rant over, I guess I've been holding that in since November, sorry about that.
Anyway,new year, new game, possibly the end of the world, but we got months to ignore that. Maybe this year will also mean new resolutions to be nicer as a person, and to try and understand that there are other people out there who have problems to, and maybe they don't want to hear about yours. (Yes I see the irony, but let me remind you that you clicked on my blog, you clicked on this post, your reading this is entirely voluntary, and I know for a fact that lots of people enjoy hearing what I have to say).
On a very different, and very important note, new year means new seasons of our (my) favorite tv shows. Warehouse 13 comes back this summer, so does Alphas. Eueka has its last season this year, which is sad, but hopefully its end sums up all the years of happiness that every viewer has felt since the beginning. Game of Thrones, Sanctuary (I think, I don't actually know when the next season starts, or if has even been renewed yet) and whatever shows you geeks out there like to watch.
Also a bit of shameless advertising, the big people out there are re-releasing Titanic in 3-D this April to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the launch of the ill-fated maiden voyage of the Titanic, I hope lots of you go to see it to remember the tragedy of what happened, and celebrate the memory of those who died on that ship.
There's a lot of cool stuff happening this year, and I'll get to it all at some point. So sorry again for the wait, and I hope you tune back in here soon to read whatever else I have to say later on. Here's to the new year, and let's have some fun.
