Holidays.

I meant to post this on Halloween.

"It's strange the way the holidays can be the hardest days. When you don't feel much like celebrating the thing that the rest of the world seems to be celebrating, that's not a lot of fun. And if whatever everyone else is celebrating happens to be (connected to) something that's broken in your life, that can be some really hard stuff. We know that today is a tough day for a lot of you. Forgive me for saying what I said last year, but I think we got it right so i'm gonna say it again: For people in pain, there's just not that much fun in fear or blood or death on Halloween. I just wanted to take a minute to say that if tonight is a tough one for you, you're not alone. It doesn't make you strange or weak. It's okay to ignore this so-called holiday. Spend tonight with a friend, read a good book, find a song you love... it's okay. This will pass.

Yeah, I still believe that. We still believe that. We're not afraid to say the things nobody says. To place hope in surprising places. We want to be a brave safe place.That's all for that. Whatever you do, be safe tonight. Spend it with a friend. Smile at the pumpkins and do your best to laugh at the wind. It's gonna be okay."

Thank You.

"You should dance."



Three simple words.
That meant so much to me;
Thank you.

Lazy Tuesday

Finally a day off. Sort-of. I have to work tonight 6 to 11, but I got to sleep in so I feel like it's a day off. I've been happier lately. I was always sad and angry because I had to leave all of my friends back home but i have made some good friends here. Cassandra, my cute roomie. Brandon, my new best friend. He's an animal. Reuben! My absolute favorite. Oh gosh you have to know this guy, haha. Jake, my anti-asian, asian. Josh freaking Heitzman. We have way too many inside jokes for our own good. Becky! His precious girlfriend. Keirsten, one of the sweetest girls I've met here! And of course, Jon, Ethan, Rachel, Austin, Krissi, Jordan, Bryn, Luke, Anthony, Lauren, Janae, and there is probably more. I am going home tomorrow for 2 days to spend Thanksgiving with my family in Sequim. COOL. Haha that town is retarded I swear. Well I'm off to be cliche and read more Twilight, haha. Oh by the way, I am tan now! YES! 3 points for Erika!

Patience and Grace.

So as I was sitting in the back room on my lunch break at work today and my phone starts vibrating. It's mom. I answer, and this is what I hear...

"Hi honey, I have a story for you. I went down to the grocery store today to get a few things and when I got in line to pay, there was a woman in front of me, about my same age, and in front of here was an elderly woman about 80. They elderly lady had just a few groceries in a small bag and she was frantically looking through her purse. The man behind the counter was huffing and puffing. The lady was shaking as she searched through her purse. Finally the lady my age who was behind the elderly lady turned to me and said, "You might want to go to another line. She can't find her debit card." She said this with a very rude and annoyed tone in her voice.
I looked at the ladies groceries and knew it couldn't be that much money so I asked the checker, "How much is it?" The man looked at me in shock and said "Uh... 15 dollars" So, I took my credit card out and swiped it. The little old ladies face lit up and she said to me"I can't thank you enough. Please tell me your name and let me pay you back. I got robbed last night and I think they must of taken my Debit Card. I only needed these few things and I have to get to the hospital. One of the robbers hurt me." As she said this, she lifted up her skirt to reveal a large brown and purple bruise on her thigh. "They kicked me and took a great deal of stuff from my house." The man behind the counter and the rude woman behind the elderly lady just stood there in shock. I hope they learned their lesson."



Always love.

Fourty Six? Really?

Well here I am. It has been a rough past few months and writing always helps me get my feelings out. As a lot of my friends know, I moved to Washington. You remember me talking about it so much when I lived in Vegas. "I was born in Seattle, so it's my real home... I want to go back." Well now that I'm back, I want nothing more but to be back in Vegas. I miss my friends and all of the crazy adventures we had. I miss the HEAT and I miss the sun. I can't even remember the last time I saw the sun. I guess I really took advantage of seeing the sun every single morning when I woke up. Oh, and about the title of this blog.... fourty six. Just guess what I'm referring to? Yeah. The freaking temperature right now. Dear Lord get me out of the arctic. At least I have work to keep me busy. I'm working at American Apparel and Hollister. It's fun. And I'm thankful for each of my jobs having a heater. Anyway, I have 20 mins before I need to go to work so I think I'll go do something productive? Maybe? I started reading Twilight. I'm only a chapter in and I'm already obsessed. I hear the movie isn't as good though, so good thing I bought the book. I need to go tan today after work. Yeah. And get my nails done. And get highlights and a trim please? Shit.
