mine! all mine!
"It's horrible, because whilst I don't have a university degree, it's not like I'm some dumb-arse who's destined to a life behind the counter of a fastfood restaurant, or working in a factory. I have skills, I have talents, I'm just not sure what career matches up with them."
and yet i feel so alone all the time. i guess i'm not.

ok, fellow disney-dorks: don't read this if you don't want to get homesick!
***
so i strolled down to my favorite african village and had Tusker's fantasmic grilled chicken sandwich for lunch. i ate it in a courtyard in Harambe, by the Dawa Bar where my favorite east african band was playing. then i went to the most magical place on earth and got an ice cream cone on Main Street USA while waiting for the new parade. it was just so cute. then i had to scurry to the Studios where i caught the new Stars and Motor Cars parade. fan-freakin-tastic, i tell ya. the whole thing started off with my TS2 friends and ended appropriately with pluto (as did the snowglobe parade). i even got to see Kita and Milo for the first time... they were great. next, i took my time getting to The 'Cot (on my way i passed a tram on the 'highway', go figure.) when i got to Future World i was psyched to see the fountain was back in working order and as i looked across the World Showcase Lagoon i could see that Italy had been de-blanketed. i caught the first parade, it was the first time i'd seen it... it was so much more colorful and 'fun' than before. between parades, i ate dinner at my favorite mexican cantina... right along the water's edge, and listened to the natives bang their drums and blow their conch shells in front of the ruins. then i was off, again to germany because you haven't seen the parade 'til you've seen it in the dark. the soundtrack was cheesy and the lights still don't go down in the middle, but the torches DO go off, then come back on... so that was exciting.
after all that i just came home. i'm exhausted. i haven't run around like that in a month or more. i'm not in my best park-hopping shape, i guess!

and by the way, if i were asked to list for you the top ten worst days of my entire life, today would be on that list.
i'm slowly coming to the realization that life is far more demanding and hard than i ever thought possible. unfortunately i'm also beginning to notice that i just don't have what it takes. why bother?
so, i fully intend to sit here and cry until 'who wants to be a princess?' starts. then after that i think i'll drink myself into a stupor.
on my way home i stopped at 7-11 and grabbed some smirnoff ice, dentine ice (arctic chill), and a slurpee.
you didn't think i was naturally cold on the inside, did you?

you know what REALLY pisses me off? when people try to destroy things that i have given my ALL to save. don't you realize how many people you are affecting? how dare you try to take away something that means so much to so many, something we have worked tirelessly to protect and maintain. who the hell do you think you are?
i don't care what your reasons are. they aren't good enough. you have no right sacrifice all we have worked for to 'save' the others. let them save themselves.

i've managed to feel appreciated or at least noticed the last couple days. one of my new co-workers just LOVES my accent. he can't get enough of it. he guessed wisconsin. close. ah, me and my 'short A' sounds.... too bad he's too old, too weird, and too 'suspect'. also, my previous co-workers (who knew me for all of a week and a half) were excited to see me when i stopped in to their store to pick up an old check. i was tormented for being a 'traitor' and they all said they missed me. they were a fun crew. i miss them too.
anyway, i have nothing interesting to say. at all. but i wanted to say something. even if i have nothing to say, i can at least say it like i'm from michigan: i haaave some baaateries in my baaackpaaaack and i haaad a caaat thaaat was faaat.
ok, i'm done now.

so, you know how washing machines all have those little holes all over the inside? well, where do they go and why doesn't the water all go there? please help me.
maybe things aren't so bad...

i don't know where to start. paul is right, my last post and the resulting comments are a little creepy looking back at the events of last week.
forgive me for not commenting at this time. i think everything that could be said has been said by now... and i don't have the words anyway. i'm just glad i had the chance to spend the weekend celebrating brian's birthday rather than crying in my apartment with my roommates. maybe eventually i'll have something to say about all this, but probably not. i'm a 'bottler' by nature and not one to like to talk about stuff like this... especially how much it scares the crap out of me. oops... i've said too much.
anyway, i drove 20+ hours to iowa. spent quality time with a good friend. drank. met with some admissions counselor-types at the university of iowa. drank. played some pool. drank. went to the zoo. visited bri's fam. drank. etc. (you'd think it was MY 21st birthday...)
i don't know. i have a lot on my mind about all kinds of different things. but it all seems a little trivial right now. especially when myles is making me look at this. forget the economy... one has to wonder how all of this will effect weblogs as we know them. (half-hearted 'heh')

FYI: in like 55 hours i'll be leaving on a jet plane. and rumor has it it's COLD in iowa! how exciting is that!?

"A classic, just-big-enough "college town", Ann Arbor, too, is known for its "great downtown restaurants and bars, and very diverse culture." U of M is also a "sports heaven", so athletics can play a big part in undergraduate life if students are so inclined."
one has to wonder if the people who compiled this top ten list have ever even been to ann arbor... it certainly isn't home to the best college campus in the state.

(while teddy has been on my shit list for a while now, i do thank him for making the 2000 NCAA championship basketball game the most dramatic in MY lifetime... a year and a half later though, it's about time kharma had it's way with him. heh!)

i would like to draw your attention to (what i know is sara's favorite period in this weblog's history) this previous post.
woohoo!
ATTENTION:
this is a desperate plea to my dear, wonderful, magnificent friends out there. my new job has me driving around 45+ minutes to work... (and right back again after work) at least 4 days a week. that sucks. it's better though when you have good music to listen to. unfortunately the radio stations down here cannot be counted on... especially around the lunch hour. and as some of you know, my cd collection is... very very very bad.
here is where you come in:
pretty pretty pretty please make me a 'driving to work' mix tape or cd. i'm begging you! i know you all (the four of you who care) have different music tastes... (and some of you just prefer random south park soundbytes)... that's cool. there's nothing wrong with that... but i digress. throw together something entertaining and pop it in the mail. k? if you don't have my florida address, e-mail me and i'll hook it up. and just think, if you're the 'frugal' type and i just happen to be visiting you next week... you could totally save money on postage by just handing me a tape when you pick me up at the airport... (oh, i've said to much.) as for the rest of you... anyone who sends me some audio entertainment will get something stephie-style in return. (if you're thinking toys, you're probably thinking right...)
i'd like to take this time to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart... and if you guys don't help me out i'll be forced to fill the silence in my car with my own sobbing. you don't want that, eh?
today i was 40 minutes late for my first day at my new job. go me. it wasn't my fault though. there was a horrific accident at the end of my street which required 4 ambulances, 2 helicopters and the top of a mini van to be peeled back like a sardine can. my manager was very understanding.
i was stressed as hell at work. now, i AM a KB toys rockstar and i know how to do my job... however, i don't know my way around that store, let alone the mall, or the city, etc. i was left alone on the sales floor for like 4 hours to fend for myself and it was challenging... but nice to flex my retail muscles again. in the end i came out victorious... and i can't wait to dig in to the Barbie section tomorrow... god, does that store need my merchandising genius.
also, before i left for work i talked to the powers that be at the university of iowa. i didn't get the answers i wanted to hear... but it's cool. all i have to do is sell my creatively re-worked plan to my sugar daddy (aka, my dad... duh) then maybe we'll be in business... who knows.

bookstores make me sad. pensive. introspective. they are like a vast sea of ideas, brilliant ideas. beautiful colors and words and images. each book represents someone's dream, someone's passion, someone's hard work... an accomplishment. on each shelf there are thousands of stories, characters... carefully crafted and all infinitely more interesting than i find myself. every face on every cover mocks me and how little i have done. how little i am. i feel overwhelmed surrounded by shelf after shelf of that which i will never be... because i defeat myself before i even try.

The site also says Tribal Council will take place in a giant, man-made tree.

4 down 20 to go...
what has become of me that i have been reduced to tears by an episode of ST:TNG? sob... luckily kilingons don't do much for me so maybe i'll channel surf through the next one and slide back into reality a little... ha!
i'm just guessing, but it probably isn't a good thing if you go shopping and the laundry detergent looks about as appetizing as any of the food.
ok, our local UPN channel is hosting a 24 hour Star Trek: The Next Generation marathon starting at 7pm tonight. please, for the love of god people, park yourselves in front of your television set!
and go here too... just cuz you can.
man, there IS a web log for everything!
ah, the man i love to hate. seven months from now he'll be telling you how all along he knew the spartans were headed straight for the top again.
sure state has lost a heck of a lot of key players and i give the other big ten teams a lot of credit... but 19th in the country dickie v? 4th in the big ten? my boys wouldn't give you the satisfaction. (smirk)
in the immortal words of jason perez: "DICKIE V SUCKS!"

this is kind of entertaining for my ADHD brain. wouldn't you all just love me if i subjected you to a post like that!
aw... go hawkeyes. way to start off the football season! of course, a month and a half from now those kids won't be singing the same tune. the 13th will certainly prove to be an unlucky day for the hawks in october. heh!
happy 21st to my li'l kim! i wish i could be celebrating with you... but all in good time!
she'll kick my ass but since it's her birthday i had to include a picture of kimmie in her birthday suit...
