That’s okay. I get distracted a lot
Wow. Way to go off-topic, guys.
–
Mood: Super confused and a bit scared
Reason: A friend of mine works at Subway, and told me the other day that they were laying off a bunch of people who were just really bad at working, apparently. She suggested I apply there, so I picked up an application today. I got my mom to help me out with it, and it turned into an hour-long conversation on how to count money.
If anyone knows me well, I’m terrible at math. You should have seen me trying to figure out the questions she threw at me. D’:
So now that I think back on it, getting a job seems extremely, intensely intimidating. Even if it’s a stupid sandwich shop. Counting money scares the crap outta me, and unfortunately it’s one of the staples of getting a job. So I mean, I probably just need to be in the environment for a while and get used to doing it, and then it will become a second-nature thing. But at the moment I’m freaking out a bit.

Whats wrong with getting off topic? lol.
Getting off-topic is not only confusing, but hard for people who haven’t kept up on the board to go back and figure out what’s going on. Besides, this topic was created for the purpose of discussing our current mood, and not everything else.
I’m not saying it’s wrong to respond to someone or share something based on what another member said, but when you’re deliberately skewing everything off-topic, it’s very confusing and makes the board appear cluttered.
It’s basically for the courtesy of other members.
Now back on-topic.

Sorry to hear it’s been difficult for you lately, little_chef. I’m bad at math myself… if I can write it down, I’m usually alright (though it can take a while), but in my head? No thanks.
I’m in a pretty good mood right now, actually. Gotta go to piano class pretty soon. Hopefully they don’t dish out another super-hard song on me…
little_chef- As far as I’m aware, working in a shop nowadays doesn’t involve counting money much at all! Whenever I work behind the till, all I have to do is count the money given to me, type that into the till, and then it tells me how much change I have to give. And with somewhere like Subway, I’m sure they’ve got tills that do the same thing. So apply for the job, go for it! And I’m sure you’ll settle in well.
And I’m with you about the off-topic-ing. There are other places for general chatter, but going off topic does make the boards both untidy and confusing.
Mood: A little irritated but laughing at the same time!
Today I went for a haircut. My hair was just a little bit longer than I liked it, so I asked the barber to cut it short, but not too short. When he finished, my hair was still too long for my liking, but he really liked it and I didn’t have the heart (or courage) to ask him to cut it even shorter. Unfortunately he left an extra long bunch of hair smack in the middle of my head. This extra long bunch looked rather silly compared with the shorter hair on the rest of my head.
When my mom came home I asked he to cut down the extra long piece for me. She didn’t want to, but I convinced her to do it. My sister has done this several times for me before, so I wasn’t worried that my mother would fail. And then it happened.
My mother, unfortunately, cut off the enitre bunch of hair, and more, leaving me with a very visible patch near my forehead which looked like the barber had used the buzzer on only one tiny square of my head. It looked ridiculous. Tomorrow is my first day of school and I was freaking out. I couldn’t go to school with the equivalent of a bald spot!
So we raced out to try and fix the damage. I did not want to go back to the same hair cut place, so we tried a few other barber shops in town. Sadly, we arrived minutes after they all closed. The only shop in town still open was my original hair cut place. I was so nervous that my barber from the morning would be there. That would’ve been so embarrasing to explain to him why we had to fix his work.
Luckily that same barber was not there, and the store manager eagerly (after a few chuckles) sat me down and went to work evening out my head. Now ladies and gentlemen, I have a full blown buzz cut. There isn’t anything wrong with that, but it isn’t what I wanted at all.
So yeah, two (or should I say three) haircuts in one day. It was pretty funny though. I kept laughing the entire car ride over to the barber. I think my mom was really worried I was mad at her.
I guess I want be going to my mother ever again for hairstyling.
love70ways: That sounds like an interesting last day for you.
Current mood: Can’t complain/a bit happy/excited/humored
Reason: I love my history class. So open for discussion and way more interesting than reading things out of a textbook all day. Today we had a discussion started by the teacher debating who was more civilized: the Cookie Monster or Oscar the Grouch. I think I’ll like this teacher.
Also, excited for the Disney Welcome Back Dance this Friday, but also a bit nervous because I haven’t seen this fellow Disney-freak friend of mine I planned to go with, and I sure don’t want to go alone. Also wondering if my costume will turn out ok.
Also excited because a former Disney animator is coming to our church next Friday!!
Oh yeah, and humored because one day when I was bored, I wrote up in school a list of Top Tens and Fives of Disney Songs in several different categories, like wishing songs, work songs, tearjerking songs, nonsense songs, villain songs, cultural, etc. And a friend looked at it during lunch and wondered about the category I found most interesting to write, Least Appropriate for Kids to Sing Along To. Yup, at the top of the list was Hellfire. (I also incuded Kidnap the Sandy Claws and Let Me Be Good To You and Why Don’t You Do Right and What Made the Red Man Red). She doubted that Disney songs could get that dark. So I sent her an email with links over the weekend. Her reaction- o_O lol! About made my day.
Current Mood: Contented
So I watched the best live-action movie of the year yesterday (It’s called Inception, BTW) and had dinner with three of my friends at a mate’s house (We had fried chicken and stir-fried vegetables, yum yum).
And I completed a few household chores and errands today. Mostly to procrastinate having to do this annoying essay due in ten days time. But it’s all good. Need to start on my homework and fan projects before this holiday’s up.
Oh, and 22 more days to LOTG!!!
lizardgirl: I know they usually have a machine that will count out the rest of the change for you, but my mom always has to throw those “worst case scenario” deals at me and expect me to figure things out. Like, what if the cash register wasn’t working? Then I’d be in a horrible mess. But anyway, thanks for the encouragement. I’m still going to apply, but that whole aspect of things was getting really nerve-wracking to think about.
Haha, finally someone who agrees with me on the off-topic-ness. high five

Mood: Content, accomplished <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/love2.gif” alt=“:loves:” title="In
Love" />
Reason: I got all of this week’s homework done for Bible school yesterday (the assignment was huge, I tell you. Hugeeee.) so now I have two whole days to chillax, catch up on some art projects and read me some How to Train Your Dragon. <3 I picked them up from the library last week, and have almost the entire series with me, save for the first two, which were still out. I’m planning on returning these early though, so I don’t keep them too long in case someone else wants to read the rest.
little chef
Haha, love70ways, that sounds as if it was a very hairy situation!
Okay, I’ll stop now.
Ooh, a former Disney animator, bright dot-dasher? You’ll have to tell us all about that encounter!
Mood: Excited and nervous.
Reason: Bestival tomorrow! So this will be my last visit on Pixar Planet for a week or so. I’m excited because I can’t wait to see some of my favourite bands, but I’m nervous because it’s a new experience and I really hope it doesn’t rain too much.
Lol, that’s incredible!! Hellfire would be my pick too, you kinda can’t blame it though considering the context. It would be hilarious to find that on a Disney kids sing-a-long tape…
Mood: Exhausted
Reason. Long day at school. Once I got home I rushed to my old High School’s FFA (Future Farmers of America) meeting. My sister is an officer on the FFA Officer team (she’s the Reporter), so I was excited to see her in uniform running the meeting. I was also volunteered to speak to everyone about Opening/Closing Ceremonies.
It was awesome to go back to the FFA chapter were I was President last year. After the meeting there was a BBQ, so I got food as well! Yum! I got to see some of my high school friends, and some other FFA alumni.
Mood: Upset
Reason: One of my best friends that I’ve known for almost three years just called it quits and became really angry at me. Because I apparently don’t call her enough over the telephone. Well, I have fear of telephoning to others… because you can’t see them, you can’t see their emotions. And I’m really scared they might just hang up because I said something wrong. So she’s mad at me because she thinks I don’t care.
I’m really, really sad right now. Really sad. So sad, in fact, that I might just quit the internet altogether… er, I don’t think I can, I keep coming back anyway. But I’m still so sad and I don’t know what to do.
I need some cheering up.
I’m so sorry to hear that Badger, gives a big hug I hope things look up!
Sorry to hear that hope things turn up soon… hugs dont worry eveything will be ok… mood: awesome reason: Ami is back no more worring no more depressing thoughts getting better over my friend im in the best mood of my life… so far… lol
Mood- Good, I may be taking a driveing lesson today but im not sure yet.
[b:2j0ekptv]Badger:[/b:2j0ekptv] Aww… I hope we can make you feel better here. I wouldn’t want you to stop coming - you really are alot of fun! So here - big, big hugs I really hope you feel better, hun.
[b:2j0ekptv]Mood:[/b:2j0ekptv] Really tired and feeling somewhat accomplished.
I think waking up before 8:00 AM is having an effect on me… I’m so not a morning person, so getting up early is not something I look forward to every day… even on Saturday. Also, I had the hardest time concentrating in school today… I almost fell asleep while reading history and I got all confuzzled when I had to read numbers that were over 100 in Spanish.
On a lighter note (ha, no pun intended!), I’m playing a song on piano from Jane Austen’s [i:2j0ekptv]Emma[/i:2j0ekptv]… and it sounds so pretty. I feel like I accomplished something amazing because I basically learned the whole song and can play it the whole way through (not perfectly, mind you!)… and I just learned it today!
Thanks guys, I was feeling really cruddy. Glad to see you guys still care about me. I’d never leave this place, even if I left the interwebs forever (which I probably won’t anyway) xD
Mood: Sad
Reason: I need a new car. Mine stinks!!
