Sorry I haven't been writing as much as I should, but work has kept me busy. I'm on Second Shift, which means I work anywhere from 4 PM until Midnight. And since my parents go to bed at 10:00 PM, I can't get on the computer because they're asleep.

But working at Wal-Mart has been very enjoyable. One of my co-workers named Liz is really down-to-earth, just like me. We can talk about Anime to just about anything that comes up during the day...which is good, because it can get a little lonely at the registers.

My favorite co-worker is a black woman who I will only refer to as "Mama." I go to her for advice and on how to improve my skills at the register. Mama is a grandmother herself...and because of all her experience, she has never given me bad advice.

But even with being busy and all, I still managed to write a new fan fiction called Plans.

Well, I'll be going out to dinner soon. Bye Blog!

My first day of work was great...but I came home with a headache. I think I absorbed too much information on my first night, but I guess that could be a good thing.

I now know how to use ring up cash payments and credit card payments, but I'm still a litte unsure about check payments. I'd practice more with the check procedures, but because of work regulations, I could actually cashier my first night, but I helped bag for two cashiers.

After doing about two hours of that, I sat at a computer for the rest of my two hours learning company policy and safety. The only bad thing was that I forgot to take a break...so basicly I worked for four hours without a break.

There's not much else to say...except that I'm spending the 4th of July with my parents. I'm also not going to summer school, which I'm bummed out about, but I have to work this summer. The pay is actually really good!

Well, I'll write later. Bye Blog...

Well, yesterday at Wal-mart was good. I'm not going to say it was great because I had to fill out mountians of paper work...which I hate, and had to watch the usual videos about employee theft and such. I had off this evening, but I have to go back to Wal-mart tomorrow for more job training via a computer. Although how using a computer helps a cashier is beyond me...

It's looking like I'll have to wait for the Academy to open until Jasson gets done with the skin and icons. I know it will be July soon, but with a new job and such I'm going to have to be patient...but I can do it...I can wait.

Crimson sent all of us at the Ronin Lounge these words:

I'm going to court tonight because I had John arrested. A quick recap is John is leaving me with his bills because he fell in love with Larry and is now gay. He happened to tell me right after I found out about my friend Dave being decapitated in an elevator shaft and died. I told his friends the truth about John and Larry because John has STDs and has been having mad orgies with tons of girls around town. People needed to know NOT to have sex with him.

He broke my door this morning, kicked it in. Threw chairs off the balcony and threatened to drag me down the stairs and kill me after he blamed me for making him gay. I called the cops and they arrested him after they looked at me like I was crazy for telling them he's mad at me because he's gay and he blames me and people found out. I am now in fear of my life because he said when he got out of jail he would find me and kill me. I am going to be gone for a while.

Crim, just get the Hell out of there. Go to your parents, go stay with some friends, but get the Hell out of that apartment and lock all your doors and windows...

In a few minutes, I will be going to training for my job as a cashier. I can't wait! This is going to be so exciting...and I hope there are people there my age that I can talk to. As much as I'm looking towards this job, I still want to go to Summer School. However...since this will be my first job, I know the experience will help me. I just don't want this to clash with other plans I have for this Summer.

Hopefully, I get paid to go to training...I have big plans for my future paycheck. I'll write tomorrow to tell you how it all went blog.

One of my Boxers, Casey, is starting to get old. She's starting to limp, her eyesight is starting to fade, and she probably can't hear very well. I just hope that she dies in her sleep instead of us having to put her down. I love Casey to death...she's my favorite Boxer. I know that all things will eventually die...so why does it hurt so much when people get word that a loved one or a pet has died?

In other news, I got the job as a cashier for Walmart. Now with that lawsuit going on, I'm glad I'm only working there for a short time. Training starts on Tuesday, so I'll be away for quite awhile. Mom, dad, and I are also debating on if I should go to Summer School. Considering how many credits I have, going to Summer School would knock out some of those credits that I still need. However, mom and dad are paying for college, they have the final say.

Socially, I've just finished posting another fan fiction. It's a grown up Yulie fan fiction, so I expect some eyebrows to be raised. The Ronin Lounge is going just fine, but other than that...there's not much else to say.

Well, today I turn 21 years old. Yep, that's right, today is my birthday. Moreover just between us, I did not get drunk while I was out at dinner with my parents. I would have gotten a full bottle of Japanese beer, which tastes really good by the way...I had my dad give me a few sips of beer, but I forgot to bring my Government ID Card. I become one year older today, and I still look like I'm 12 years old.

Speaking of dinner, I had sushi tonight. I had Salmon Roe aka Salmon Eggs for the very first time. The taste was...different. That's the only way I can discribe the taste of Salmon Eggs...different.

In other news, I've applied for an evening job at Walmart. I won't know if I got the job until next Monday or next Tuesday, but I'm praying that I get this job. But I'll post when I finally get an answer.

Well, that's all for now. By the way, many thanks to Jasson Knight for taking up the skin for my message board...

Well, I have recovered from my surgery, and I am now eating solid foods again. It was pain, not having to eat solid food, but now I can eat regular food and not worry.

My father's relatives are here, and while I like my Great Aunt, when you put my father, grandmother, and grandfather in the same room...well, let's just say I'm glad to be one of the two rational people in the household.

This will be my last entry until June. I'm going to New York to work with the Gray Sisters. I'll be working in an assisted living and maybe, just maybe, go to see what Canada is like. Until then, I'll see you all later...

Well, I've been healing well after having my Wisdom Teeth removed. I'm eating all my normal foods, though the soft food have become my favorite. I can't believe how much I've missed out on regular yogurt, string cheese, and drinkable yogurt.

In other news, I hope I got rid of that Trojan Horse that was infecting my computer. It was in my AVG System no less, so I had to delete that program. I'm now using Norton Anti-Virus, so I hope it does as good, or even a better job than AVG did.

My brother's being a jerk, as usual. I swear, sometimes I wish I had a sister...though mom says having a sister is just as bad as having a brother.

Sunny and Casey, my two Boxers, have been a great source of joy for when I'm feeling down. With them, the pain of having my Wisdom Teeth removed, as well as my family, just fades away.

Sorry I didn't write yesterday, but that was the day I had my Wisdom Teeth removed. I'm still recovering from the surgery, and the left side of my jaw is still in pain...which is funny, because it used to be my right side that gave me problems when my Wisdom Teeth were still in.

So I'm still recovering; none of my favorite foods until the scabs fully heal and the blood stops coming up. So, it's a diet of ice cream and other soft foods. I swear, when I've fully healed, I'm never going to look at ice cream the same ever again...

Mom promises that once I'm fully healed, we can go to my favorite eat. That would be nice, but I'll still have to heal. Another interesting thing is that I don't have to take all the fancy medication...so I guess that's a good thing.

I'll try to write soon. But for now, I have chores to do.

Well, my dad drove me home yesterday. Thank goodness we missed a tornado that was over one of the military bases we passed on our way home. When I walked inside, I was smothered with affection by my two Boxers, and slept in my own bed...I'm glad to be back home.

I'm going to see about my Wisdom Teeth on Monday. They hurt like Hell, and I've just about had it with them. I had once wished they wouldn't have to come out, but now it's looking like they will...

While I was in the van on my way home, I went through my parents' CDs. Turns out, I like the same music that they do. I swear, one day I'm going to end up just like my parents...

Well, I just came back from the study break that my school hosts every exam week. I didn't stay too long; I only drank a cup of soda and I got my yearbook. I noticed that Sarah is only a Sophomore instead of a Junior. Sarah's parents are going to flip when they realize that their daughter will be in college for two more years.

That also means that Sarah will not graduate with me. I'm kind of bummed, but there's nothing I can do about, she has too few credits to be a Junior, and that is not my problem...it is only Sarah's problem.

In other news, I e-mailed my parents when they need to pick me up. My second-to-last exam is on Thursday at 8:30 AM, and my last exam is on Friday at 1:30 PM. So unless my parents want to move me out while I'm taking my exam, then they shouldn't bother coming until after 1:30 on Friday.

Also, I'm planning a May 5 fan fiction in honor of Anubis. It's a poem, and it will be posted on May 5 on fanfiction.net...I just hope that this poem is good, my friend Sarah says it's good, but I highly doubt she'll be review my poem. Speaking of fanfiction.net, I'm now allowing non-signed reviews. Flamers, of course, will still be laughed at for their immaturity.

Well, today is the start of finals week. I took my Sailing and Cultural Anthropology exams...I hope I passed them...I failed my last Cultural Anthropology exam.

In other news, one night while I was walking my usual night walks to get some fresh air...stupid university won't turn on the AC and opening my window lets bugs in...I noticed a female cat in heat getting romantic overtures by some male cat, and it looked like the female wasn't buying it. I guess some men can't take a hint, no matter what species they are.

My last exam is on Friday, so tomorrow I'll need to call my parents about picking me up to go home. Then, when June 1 rolls around, I'm off to New York to see if a Religious Life is right for me.

I haven't done much else except study, go on Gaia, and hang out with my friends. I'll miss them when I go home...

Well, I went out on the water today in my sailing class. A fellow teacher went with me...and he told me I was really good for someone who had never been sailing before. The only downside to this day...I got sunburn on my arms, face, and legs. This is what I get for not putting on suncreen...I hope that the burns are only first degree burns, because anything above a first degree burn would look ugly and cost me a trip to the Student Health Center.

I'm going to recieve mail on Monday about what the sisters want me to do this June. They told me that they're willing to take me from June 1 to June 20. Which means I'll turn 21 away from my friends and family...oh well, I can drink when I get back home or when I get to college for Summer School in July.

But other than that...I've had a quiet day.
