I don't want to spend my life jaded

I have decided I am a boring person.
I may ride motorcycles (when I get the chance), have 3 tattoes, rebel against the norm as much as I can, and don't care what people think of me, but underneath I am a boring person.
Anyone have a remedy for me?

On another note, anyone who's been watching Drive on Fox, the final two episodes (that didn't seem like a very long series to me) are on next Wednesday, the 4th of July back to back starting at 7pm central time.

Dana Schulps

Making up for the last 3 weeks of cops:

Las vegas, NV:
“Not your van, but you’re in the driver’s seat?”
“I’m crazy, I’ll try to run both directions if I have to”
“Anything I forgot, you’d like me to add on?”
Boise, ID:
The guy that was arrested for stalking seemed really calm for being “set up”. If I was set up, I think I’d be a little more upset.
Brevard county, FL: FTO Brad Bellflower,
Nothing illegal in the guy’s pocket, except maybe the container full of drugs, and the syringe. And he still walks to the back of the cop car with that stance that he’s so cool, at least he’s not balling his eyes out.
“That’s what happens when you ride dirty, you go to jail”

Wichita, KS: Officer Matthew Hoyt, Officer Aaron Whiteman
Riverside County, CA:
Ever notice how no one with normal families is on cops? Maybe she shouldn’t tell the cop, “If I could I’d kill him”, not a good choice of words.
Cincinatti, OH: Officer Donny Meece,
Hillsborough Country, FL: Deputy James Ennis, Deputy Gabriel Aquino,
If y’all are gonna show us the officers, at least give us names with them. it’s so mean to show a hottie and then not tell us who he is
“Like I said, crime don’t pay, right? ‘Cause everything you took, we got back, and you’re empty-handed.”
Las vegas, NV: Officer Kevin Phillipson
Could you take a little longer to tell your side of the story, lady. It seemed like she was on something, she’d talk, long pause, talk, long pause. There is something missing from their stories, she has the long pauses, he’s saying his heart is bothering him, but he doesn’t want medical attention, he repeatedly says the drugs he’s taking are all prescription, even though he states he’s a police officer in Boston.
They’ve been married a month, after one physical fight, he’s ready to give up. Of course he looks like he’s over 50, and she looks 30 or so.
Boston, MA: Trooper Jesse Sweet, Officer Marc Sullivan,
I love Trooper Sweet’s reaction when he opens the van door: “Well who’s sack of weed is this?”
And then, (I’m guessing) the people rubbernecking at the traffic stop on the side of the road cause an accident. And all the people stuck behind them start honking, people are so fucked up.
Fontana, CA:
“Once they hear that K-9 bark, and they know that there’s no hope for them.”
It’s always a nice sight, when the guy’s laying on the ground, a bunch of cops on him, crying “I give up, I give up”
“turned out to be something really good”
Wichita, KS: Officer Rob Thatcher, Officer Dustin Nail, Officer Ben Jonker
Covington, KY:

Las vegas, NV: Officer Blaine Holmes,
Hillsborough County, FL: Deputy Keith Edwards,
Oskaloosa County, FL:

Live your life with arms wide open

Thursday night, I planned on going to Porky's for bike night. Thursday, we had thunderstorms, and a tornado watch, I actually found out where the basement is at work. So I was figuring that by 6 when I got off, we wouldn't be going to Porky's, well, Karli decided that since the severe weather had passed we should go anyway, and I wasn't gonna complain. Karli, her mom, me and Kevin started out for Porky's only to be called by Karli's mom's friend and told that Porky's was locked up, so we went to Trophies instead (the place the bikers go after Porky's). That was fun, got to hang out with bikers and look at bikes, then we decided to go to The Jungle Room, a karoke (sp?) bar where a great number of the bikers congregate after Trophies. I never go to sing, I just like to watch, I was very entertained because Karli and her mom were dancing. I kinda felt sorry for Kevin cause he seemed so bored. As mean as it sounds, I'm thinking next time I go, we're leaving him at home. He was so out of his element. You know how bikers have a certain stance about them (and if you don't I'm not gonna explain it, cause you won't understand anyway)? Kevin just didn't fit in with them.
I was talking to my boss yesterday about it, and she said I need to have a list of stuff I want/need in a guy. Is that true? I was so happy just having A guy, I don't want to go and make a list and maybe find out that there's not a lot on it that he fits with. I'm extremely confused. I've never had a boyfriend (yes, we are officially girlfriend and boyfriend) before, so I don't know anything about relationships, but I know I love cuddling on the couch, I also know it's not going to go beyond cuddling, even if I have to dump him, it's not happening.
Any advice from my small subset of readers?

I would have loved to go inside and looked around, but its not open anymore, the only school I went to that's still open is the high school, and it looks way different on the outside. It would be so fun to be able to go through the three schools and just remember.

It's another day in the dusty haze

I ran into an old "friend" at work yesterday, or rather she saw me in the window and came in and chatted. I say "friend" because she called me anorexic on an online forum, and killed the friendship. Of course, she ignored it and decided it didn't happen and still thought we were friends. When I got home from work, I sent her a message explaining why we weren't friends and for her to stop trying to get in touch with me. She knew (at the time she called me anorexic) that I was on that forum and read it, so she can't say she didn't.
She replied to the message (appreantly she's a little slow on knowing the meaning of don't talk to me anymore). She wanted me to put it behind me, and then she said, I really meant you're skinny. THEN WHY THE HELL DON'T YOU SAY THAT INSTEAD?????
Some people really need to think about what they say/do/'type' and the consequences. (Though I know that's a lot to ask these days)

Sorry needed to vent, and if I replied to the message, that would ruin my whole stand on me not talking to her

A day of fun

OK, so it's been a couple days since I've posted, you'll get over it.
I've been pretty much working and hanging out with Kevin. Working and having fun, what more could a person want? ;)
Had to work Fri, Sat, and Sun for our grand opening at the store. Unfortunately there were a ton of things going on here and just down the road, so didn't have a lot of customers. Therefore, I only got Monday off instead of Sun and Mon like I'm supposed to. But it was fun having Mon off.
Kevin now has a class in the mornings, so we don't get to chat on AIM before I go to work. Anyways, Monday, I had to get my glasses rearranged since someone (Kevin) hit me in the face with a volleyball on Fri night. So, we went to lunch at the mall, killed time, got my glasses fixed and were going to go mini-golfing, but the place didn't open til 3. We killed more time, we went to a toy store downtown, and by the time we left, you could tell the storeowner really wanted us to leave. We were kinda acting like kids. We sweated and majorly sucked at mini-golf, then went walking in the river, I got us totally lost in the woods. I thought we were supposed to go down one trail, that led us to a run-off of the river, so we walked quite a ways before we actually found the river, and then a bit more before we actually went in.
I've decided I want a tadpole, they're so fun to squish (no I didn't squish any to death), we had to cross the river to get back, by the time we actually got in it, so we both got pretty well soaked, especially after slipping and landing on our asses, that was entertaining.
We dried off (at our respective apts), washed his truck, went to Village Inn for supper and came back to my house to listen to a joke CD, where Kevin promptly fell asleep on my bed for about 10 minutes.
But it was fun, I wouldn't mind another day of acting like kids, makes the rest of the week worthwhile, and ok to live with. I was complaining after we got back to his truck how he's always making fun of me, he said he only makes fun of/laughs at people he likes.

UGH!!! George showed up right on schedule today, so while I'm feeling like crap (why the hell do I always have to get cramps?) I get to mow the lawn, shower and go to work for 8 hours, lucky me.

She may believe you but I never will

Wow, its been awhile since I posted (me who posts almost everyday), this is what happens when you have stuff to do during the day, and are tired when you get home from work. I now understand why other people don't update everyday.
I will not complain about my work. I know my boss is on the internet quite a bit during the day, and knows how to use the internet, I'm sure if she really wanted to she could find this blog. I also don't have the desire to complain about work to you people (not that you're bad, but I don't know most of my regular readers other than that they read me, and I read their blogs).
So, with that in mind, I will be commenting on some of the stuff the customers do/say when they're in the store. I work in a crafts store. I am the only employee as my boss opened this store not so long ago, and really hasn't had the time to look for anyone else, plus she would like someone with an art background. So a couple things I've seen within the past week.
I had some kid with a box of food come in last week and start a little speil (sp?) about how he was with such-and-such group and that by buying this stuff I would be helping these kids stay off the street, or something like that, I stopped him and told him I wouldn't be able to buy any because I was working. I just thought it so messed up that one would walk into a business and peddle their wares, maybe its just me.
Today, I had a lady and a little girl (maybe about 6?) come in and the girl starts walking into our back part, which I told her "this is where the store ends", the lady with her asks if she heard that, and then went on to say the girl was used to being next door (a place where little kids frequent) and wandered all over that store as if that was a good enough reason for her to wander into the back area. I was thinking, I don't care lady, take responsibility and tell her yourself she can't go back there, doesn't matter if it's not your kid, she's still with you.
Also, we have some pigment dyes (dust) in jars and I had two people attempt to open them. These will fly all over and make a horrible mess if opened with the jar tilted (you know how people hold jars when opening them). I told them "Don't open that" (simple and understandable, right), they replied "Don't?" as if I hadn't said it clearly enough before. And one of these people was with her friend, they were about college age, early 20's and were talking about Ipods, after I told her not to open the dye, she lowered her voice, apparently realizing I could hear her whole conversation.
Had a woman come in and chat with my boss, she was saying how she lived in one of the lower rent places in town and paid under 50% of her rent because she was low-income but "not proud or ashamed of it" because "she was looking for full-time work, and everyone was looking for part-time workers" I was thinking, well shit if you're only paying that much of your rent, wouldn't you take the job even if it was only part-time, maybe you could move up to full-time.
