Life sucks
Sunday, August 8, 2004

I'm so frustrated with my life right now. I'm not getting along with my roommate at ALL. She's sort of a nazi about a lot of things. And when I tried to explain to her that I won't be able to make rent out of this paycheck, she started complaining about the bills she has to pay. Question: how did she pay the bills before I moved in...? I hate money. Actually, I hate that everything is so centered on cash. The world revolves around money. We should go back to bartering system. Then people wouldn't be so lazy and shallow.

Stacy and I went out last night. We walked down to a diner downtown that's open 24 hours. On our way home, some guys came out of a bar and asked us to go to another bar with them. Actually, they asked us to go to the bowling alley with them. If it hadn't been for the fact that one of them looked nearly 40, we might have gotten into the cab with them. Actually, once our cab showed up, we almost did go to the bowling alley, until we remembered that the actual bowling part of the bowling alley was closed, and only the bar was open.

I can't wait to get furloughed or laid off or whatever they're finally going to do. I'm so sick of working with so many jerks. Bob's the biggest jerk of them all, because he's so negative all the time. And the fact that he's a womanizing old man doesn't help at all.

Right. I'm feeling so bleh today. I don't want to see my roommate at all. She has the next two days off, so that means I have to see her a LOT. Well, I do need to give her my two weeks notice, so I guess that's sort of a good thing. I want to be out of that house by the end of the month so I don't have to pay next month's rent. Veta said that I can move back out north with her. I'm going to help pay for groceries and such. Once I get my car, I'm going to start moving my stuff out there. I don't know why I thought that I could live with my supervisor and everything would be cool.

I'm tired. Short update, since I'm not actually at home... (I'm on Stacy's comp.)

We had a mad day at work today. Two planes on the ground and a third right on top of them. >< Then some moron left his comp on board.... Anyhow, life is... tiring. More later, maybe. If you know me: CALL ME!

Bleh

Okay, here's a li'l update. I went to work yesterday, and the day before, but the day before THAT I had off. Which was nice. Not that I did anything, mind you, it's just nice to have a day off. I want to get a computer, a car, an apartment of my own, and a cat. And then a dog. Eventually. I feel very blah right now, in case you couldn't tell. I don't want to go to work today or tomorrow.

I'm kind of dreading Wednesday. I'm meeting Josh for breakfast, then going to work at 10 for twelve hours. Why did I sign up for overtime...?

I want a new layout for this site. Anyhow, since I have nothing real to update on... BYE~! ^^;

day from HELL
Saturday, July 24, 2004

Today has been probably the worst day of my LIFE! Well, the longest, at least.

It took me waaaay too long to get out of Boise. I ended up having to buy a friggn' ticket b/c I kept getting bumped. Then the flight that I had the ticket for was delayed about an hour due to mechanical crap. So I finally got out of Idaho to Seattle. I tried to call a hotel to get a place to stay for the night, but every place was full! Luckily, Sanjay was working at the Alaska counter. We were in training together, and he offered to let me crash at his place tonight. So here I am. I'm tired and hungry, but glad to finally be in Seattle and on my way home. That's about it. I should bet home about 8:30-ish tomorrow morning. Then I shall go home and do laundry and go to work. Ick. What a way to end my vacation...

Friday, July 23, 2004

I go home today. I leave at about 1:00 pm. Should be leaving pretty soon here. I need to go to the mall to pick up something before I get to the airport.

Anyhow, a new layout didn't happen, obviously, but I'm still hoping to get that taken care of soon enough. I am so tired. And I really don't want to leave. I'm also frustrated. The guy from Financial Claims called about my payment this month. It still hadn't been made. I had to do a check by phone, which I don't like doing. I hate that my sister has not yet had to pay a single penny of the bill! It pisses me off that she can get away with that. Now she owes me 8.75, including the last two late fees I've had to pay. What a pain in the ass.

Well, I better get going. And we're back to sporadic updates, I suppose. Ciao.

I'm terza rima, and I talk and smile.
Where others lock their rhymes and thoughts away
I let mine out, and chatter all the while.

I'm rarely on my own - a wasted day
Is any day that's spent without a friend,
With nothing much to do or hear or say.

I like to be with people, and depend
On company for being entertained;
Which seems a good solution, in the end.

What Poetry Form Are You?

I'm the lai, with no sort
Of grave, solemn thought,
And I
Will never be caught
By miseries sought,
Nor sigh;
Where battles are fought
Or arguments brought,
I fly.

Vacation
Thursday, July 22, 2004

I'm in Idaho~ Have been since Tuesday, actually. This is my first chance to write an update here.

It's been so much fun. I don't want to leave tomorrow, but I have to. I went and saw Harry Potter with Kate and Rob the night I got here, then we watched Chicago and Rurouni Kenshin last night... I think that we're going to see King Arthur later on today. It's sort of a toss up between King Arthur and Spiderman 2...

I want to get a new layout up while I'm here. I wish I could upload images somewhere so I could link them. It would be one of those premade layouts, but I think that anything will do, for the time being.

I may be getting a computer for 0 sometime soon. There's a guy with Alaska Airlines in Seattle who was selling a desktop for that much, and he said that he would have another one available soon, if I was interested. I'm also going to be getting a car the first week of next month. August 6 Jenn is going to sell me her little sister's car. 1989 Honda Accord. It's automatic and is in relatively good running condition. They're getting the brakes fixed before I buy it, I believe.

I'm going to get a kitty! I even picked out names... ^^; If it's a male, I will name him Koffy, if it's a female, I will name her Selece. And that's my life. Fascinating, isn't it...?

I decided I wanted a sound effect for the title to today's entry. Hehe~

I'm seriously considering whether I want to stay with AS (Alaska Airlines) for too much longer. I love the idea of opening my li'l bookstore/coffee shop with Kate and Rob. I don't love the idea of BOS (Boston), however. What can I say... I'm a west coast gal. I just don't know how long I can work in such a negatively charged environment. It's especially bad when Mary and Debbie are there. They just make everyone tense.

Anyhow, I'm at Stacy's house now, using her comp. She's the girl who I was mildly jealous of because she was dating Brian... She's so nice, blast it! >< She's a really great person. We've been up all night talking, hence the 3 AM update here. (The sun is rising... crazy...)

I want a boyfriend... *sigh* But I don't think I want or need to be in a relationship right now! It's really very frustrating. I think I just miss the whole thing. I need to get over that, though. I need to be me for a while. Just plain ol' Melissa sans man. I shall get a kitty. That will take my mind off men for a little while at least, right?

I leave for Boise on Tuesday! YAY~! Gonna go see Kate and Rob. And, you know, if I see Jayme and those other yokles while I'm there, that's cool too. :p I can't wait!

Anyhow, got more things to dooooo~ I'll get a new layout ASAP, k?

I am so angry at Josh. I don't think that I have ever been this angry at anyone in my entire life. Yesterday he said something to me that just makes me sick. I mean, it makes me feel physically ill to think about what he said. It was the single most vulgar thing that I have ever heard. I can't believe that someone who claimed to care about me, or even to like me, would say something that... that brutal. I'm still reeling from it. How can anyone talk to another human being like that, no matter what the offense or imagined offense.

Anyway! I don't want to even think about it anymore. It makes me sick. I just can't wait for him to go to Phoenix and be out of my life.

My parents and Amanda are coming up on Tuesday. They may get stuck in Seattle, though. Flights aren't exactly wide open from Seattle to here. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, though. I'm not sure what we'll do once they get here, but after what Josh said to me yesterday, I really, really want both of my parents.

I'm tired. I want to go to bed, but I want to go to bed in an air conditioned room. It's been stiflingly hot here for the past week. I go back to work tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it because it will give me something to do with my day, but at the same time I don't want to because there's a chance that I'll see Josh at the airport. What if he attacks me again? I don't have any idea how he'll react to me. I'm not all that keen on seeing him again ever, but I'm really afraid that he may humiliate me at work. He obviously doesn't care about my feelings at all, and he doesn't seem to give much of a shit about common courtesy. I'm tired of being hurt by him, of crying over him. I want him out of my life so I can get on with it. I deserve better than how he makes me feel. That's all I can think of to write. Ciao for another 2 weeks! :p

I can't think of a title for this entry. I am soooo sleepy right now... I tried to install AIM on this computer (Jenn's comp), and I couldn't remember my flippin' password! So if you're one of my buddies and you get an IM from "issahime", that's me~ So don't ignore it, please!

I want a computer! Of my own, I mean. I'm going to try to get a Sony VAIO. Honestly, any computer that runs and has the programs and memory space that I need will do. I'm going to have my parents take my computer to CompUSA and see how much they'll give them for it. I found out that they have a trade-in program where they'll give you gift cards for your old computer. So I'm going to have my parents try that. I also want to get a camera. A real one, I mean. So that I can walk around and take pictures that I can actually keep. I think it would be fun to walk downtown and take candid pictures of tourists and people on the streets.

Anyhow, I would love to regale you all with tales of work and all that, but I'm just too tired. So that will be next time. Maybe. With a new layout... soon? Anyhow, NIGHT!

Summer
Saturday, May 22, 2004

EEK! Summer is here, isn't it? The weather this week here in Ketchikan has been gorgeous. All sunny and warm. I'm out all day today walking! I walked to the grocery store for soy milk, walked to a garage sale for two books, two CDs, and a necklace, and walked downtown to see what I can see. :p And to get online, of course. So far, I have seen quite a few hotties. lol Enjoying the scenary...

So I moved into my new place. hehe My roomie has two li'l chihuahuas, Princess and Tito. They're cute, cuddly, and only minimally yappy. I hung out with them a little this morning, before I decided to venture out rather than sit around sulking about stupid things.

Work is going well. I go live tomorrow. No more training for me! I can actually control flights now, which is a lot of fun. If I had it my way, I would always be upstairs either controlling, boarding, or manning the checkpoint. Ticketing is the dullest part of my job, honestly. Okay, that isn't true. The most boring part of my job is reading security bulletins from the Department of Homeland Security. Well, or cleaning and stocking the counter. Either way, the boring jobs are downstairs. I got yelled at the other day for not looking busy enough, actually. I think it was because the trainer was on one of her many power trips, and I just happened to catch the bad end of it. Nobody really likes working with her. She has a penchant for making people feel stupid. She actually used to be a lead (kinda like a supervisor), but apparently she was demoted and told that she couldn't be one ever again. hehe... She isn't a nice person.

I have so much energy! And even though I'm sweaty and probably stinky, I feel good! I should walk up and down those monstrous hills more often! lol Anyhow, I have limited time since I'm at an internet cafe, so this is the end of this entry. Hope you enjoyed the brief update on my life~

Siam Snow White
Wednesday, May 12, 2004

I just went to a very Asian restaurant called House of Siam and got a drink called "Siam Snow White," which is really just a virgin pina colada... Not too bad. About what you would expect for .

Anyhow, I'm back in Seattle with internet, and I figured it would probably be dumb to not update. So here's an update.

I've been meaning to call Matt. I called the other day, but I didn't get an answer, so I'm going to try again. Maybe tonight. Haven't decided. I'm supposed to go shopping with Ben Friday. I don't know if I want to go now. I need a raincoat and a backpack, but I also need for the graduation lunch on Friday, and I don't know if I really want to spend all my money. I found a jacket at Gap that I like for about , and a shop to go look at backpacks, which isn't too bad as long as the bag isn't horrible quality. There's also eastbay.com and overstock.com, both good stores with decent-good merchandise. I just can't order right now b/c I am between actual addresses...

Anyway, my life... my life is good, I suppose. No, it is good. I have two jobs, a place to live, some pretty fun people to hang out with, and I could fly to Hawaii for round trip. My life is good. I just don't have a boyfriend. And when your hormones are as out of whack as mine are, the lack of a boyfriend-- or even a make out buddy-- can skew your perception of a good life somewhat.

Anyhow, I need to go to Safeway. Maybe it will help distract me from my lack of anyone to cuddle and do other, more interesting, physical things with. Ciao!

Just a quick update while I'm waiting for class to start up again. I go back to Ketchikan tonight. My flight leaves at 7:30, so I need to get to the airport around 5:30. As of right now, there are 5 seats available in first class, so I'm going to see if I can get an upgrade.

I'm sooooo hungry. Prolly about an hour till lunch, if not more. Okay, gotta run. Ciao~

I'm answering "a concerned friend" from the tag-board here because what I want to say is too long.

So, "friend", here you go! Pay attention. I only know one person who knows this URL and would post anonymously like that. If you are that person, I would like to remind you of your idea of "monogamy" and that should end the conversation. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, read on.

Josh and I are no longer dating. Brian and I are not dating. So currently, I have a grand total of 0 guys. I wouldn't exactly say that your li'l comment applies, now, does it? It's perfectly alright for me to hang out with Brian and still talk to Josh and not be dating either of them. And who's this "we"? Multiple personalities? Maybe you should get that looked at. Drop the condescending bullshit. I (note: not WE) am not "getting around", and I resent the implication that I'm a slut. Now then, if you have an issue, at least leave your flippin' name! None of my friends, especially the concerned ones, would wimp out on telling me their name. So get over this immature anonymity thing. Thank you.

Now, a real post.

GOD I'm tired. And PMSy. "concerned bullshit" chose a bad time of the month, yes? I think I'm going to go nap soon. But first, an update on my life.

I'm still in training. Class doesn't go quickly enough for me, though. There's one woman in there who always seems to be at least two steps behind everyone else. She's computer illiterate, which is not good when you get a job that requires you to be using a computer for at least eight hours a day. Anyhow, she's always slowing things down with stupid questions and getting hung up on the most insignificant things. It drives me insane. Anyhow, other than that, class is great. No, not great-- fine. Class is fine.

I ordered Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles 1 and 2 today! XD I can't wait to get them! I should have actually gotten Tsubasa 1 and xxxHolic 1, since the series overlap each other. Oh well. C'est la vie.

I'm going to see if I can fly my parents to Ketchikan for my dad's birthday. I already ran the idea by my mom, and she loves it. It would be a lot of fun. (He can go to Barrow alone, though. Mom and I don't fancy a trip to the friggin' north pole.)

I'm going to be in Ketchikan for OJT (on the job training) next week, so I probably won't be updating this during that time. I'm going to look at apartments, though. Found an ad for "elegant" efficiency apartments today. I'll let you know if I find out what upgrades an efficiency apartment to "elegant".

Anyhow, that's my life as it stands now. I'll update more... tomorrow, maybe. Ciao!

I talked to Kate last night. Actually, I talked to Josh and Kate and Rob last night. I shouldn't have stayed up so late, though. I am so TIRED! I didn't get to bed until close to 1:30. Very ICK.

Anyhow, I did talk to Josh last night, and he said that he talked to his brother. Jeremy was in Fallujah until just a couple of days ago. Eek. Josh was talking about his brother running over people with tanks and shooting at them and being shot at... *shudder* Unpleasant.

I GOT PAID!! XD I have a check for 0 sitting upstairs. I need to get to the bank to open an account.

I'm really, really tired. I'm going to nap soon, prolly...

First class
Sunday, April 25, 2004

Well, I'm back in Seattle~ I went home to Ketchikan Friday. When I left Seattle after class, it was 60-something and sunny, but when I got in to Ketchikan at 7:45-ish, it was 40 degrees, blowing, with friggin' freezing rain. I was wearing a cute but entirely impractical cap-sleeve shirt from Gap and a skirt that went to my knees-- and that's it. I was soooooo cold! And on top of that my ride (Josh, as I later found out) wasn't there. So I waited about 45 minutes, then called Brian to come pick me up. I had at least five people ask if I was crazy on the ferry from the airport, then Brian flat-out said "You're crazy" when he picked me up. Anyhow, I bought us McDonald's for dinner, then we went back to his apartment. He gave me sweat pants and a BIG shirt because I was still frozen, then after we ate and relocated from the kitchen to the couch, he covered me up with the blanket his grandma made him, just to make sure I wasn't cold anymore. He's really sweet, huh?

Last night, even though it was drizzly and rather icky outside, Brian and I went to a BBQ at Tim and Adam's house. (2 guys from the young adults group.) It was lots of fun. I got to see all of the people from young adults. Brian scared Jaden (the leader's little son-- maybe 3 or 4 years old) by picking him up. lol It was hilarious. Jaden was running around, so Brian-- 6 ft 5 in Brian-- scooped him up and held him under his armpits at arm's length and carried him into the living room to his mom. The poor child was kicking and flailing his arms, ut he couldn't touch Brian. He was scared out of his mind. lmao~

Anyhow, Brian and I stayed at Adam and Tim's until around 11. Adam and Brian were playing guitar, Tim was playing with the dog, and I was falling asleep on the couch. I love listening to Brian play. And Adam too. Guitar music is very soothing. Brian showed me a song that he made up on Midway Island. That was nice. He loves to play, and he gets out his guitar at least once whenever we hang out. lol

Anyhow, Josh drove me to the ferry this morning, with much whining and complaining. I couldn't get him to take me across to the airport, the jerk. But he's a hot jerk, damn him. He's trying to become an ass, but he tipped the server at the coffee cart and said that he should have tipped her more... I don't think the whole asshole thing is working for him. ^^;

I got to fly first class into Seattle today. Veeeery nice. Leather seats, real food... I would pay the upgrade to get that all the time. Well, it's for me, for a regular paying customer. Don't ask me how that makes sense. Anyhow, I'm hungry, and I want to see if Ryan has arrived with his wonderful Soul Calibur II yet. Bye bye!

Sleepy
Wednesday, April 21, 2004

Today was a good day, all in all. Went to class, passed the quiz, got slightly buzzed on an energy pill that my neighbor gave me, talked to Emily (friggin' hillarious story), went shopping (Gap rocks), and called Brian. I was on the phone with Brian for... 2 hours? Maybe two and a half. He said that he was having a crummy day, and he was glad I called. It was the highlight of his day. (Awww...) I told him about my habit of scrubbing things when I'm upset and that I love to do laundry, so he pointed out that his oven needs to be scrubbed and he hates doing laundry. hehe~ It was amusing to me.

Anyhow! I am so tired. I don't really know why I'm updating. I'm honestly too tired to think of anything to write about, other than that conversation with Brian. And only because that's the last thing I did before I got online. He said that he could help me get out of being inactive, and I believe it. He swims every morning and runs to calm down after work. I don't think I want to be that active, but I need to get out more. I would like to try sun bathing. I need to eventually lose at least some of the white on me. No one believes that I'm half Mexican. I really do want to get out more, though. Maybe I'll finally learn how to have my head under water without freaking out. ^^;;

There isn't really too much to write. I'm tired. Night.

Tuesday, April 20, 2004

That's where I am right now. It's lunch, actually. I've been spending most of the day trying not to let too much of what the instructor is saying go in one eay and out the other. :p It's not really that bad. I don't know how long this entry will be. I have to log out before class starts up, obviously.

I've been thinking about getting an apartment in Ketchikan. It's got to happen eventually, right? The building Brian's in is about 0/month with utilities, and the apartments are really cozy and quaint. 1920s feel. I'll be making about 0 a week with Alaska, so I know that apartment goes against that handy li'l rule of thumb from business math, but I don't think I could find an apartment for cheaper. I'll probably have to get a second job, anyway. And I need a car. Gah. Too much.

Anyhow, I have other things to take care of before class starts. Love you guys. Ciao.

Being Useless
Monday, April 19, 2004

EEK! I'm in Seattle, guys! I love that this hotel has 24 hour free internet. I just got back from shopping with my roommate and the two guys down the hall (one looks like a Steve-Josh hybrid). We're all in the same training class. Loads of fun. There's a Starbucks literally every block here. At least one. On each side of the street. lol

Right. Anyhow, we went to Old Navy, Gap, Nordstrom's, Godiva, and Hot Topic. And a gaming store (couldn't resist). I spent half my money in one night, which is actually sort of uncharacteristic of moi. Anyhow, I am... I don't know. Pretty tired. I have IZZE!! For lunch tomorrow. Yesssss....

In closing, answers to Kate's questions:
1) In spite of everything, am I still glad about going to AK?
-Yes
2) When am I going to visit the NNU peeps?
-Probably not until this fall.
3) What's the most enjoyable thing to do with a guy?
-Two words for ya: Pool Table. You know what I mean, right? Hee~ Either that, or... mmm... showers or just plain making out. Yummmm...

Kate, Rob, if you read this then you should come play with 'me' in Seattle for my birthday. Teehee. And that is all. Because I'm obviously not Melissa. Emily here. Duh. Yes so that's the funny update. Until Mel gets a computer I'm her only source. If ya need any Mel info e-mail me at munkeeylaydy@hotmail.com

The End.

I feel... grown up suddenly. After dinner, my parents pulled out some candles and my dad did a Bible-style blessing that's traditionally done when the head of the house is at the end of his life. This one, though, was because I'm going out on my own. I'm not making a clean break, since a lot of my stuff will still be here, but I'm really and truly leaving. It's a little... unsettling, to be honest.

Anyhow, I felt that I needed to share this. It's sort of an odd feeling. Like I said, it's like I've grown up. I feel a lot more mature than I was when we all sat down to eat. Hm. Well, there's packing to be done. Ciao!

I am slightly stressed. I need to do laundry and all that, and I still haven't taken a shower, so this is going to be a short entry. I leave tomorrow afternoon at 3:30. I have an hour lay-over in Seattle. Maybe I'll call Ben.

Right, I think I'm going to go. I don't know when my next update will be, maybe next Tuesday, maybe not. ^^ Ciao!

So. Grar. I'm HUNGRY. I guess that's what I get for eating clam chowder and ceasar salad for dinner. I think I shall get a bowl of Rice Crispies... maybe. Gyah~ I should go to bed. It's going to be a hectic day, after all. I have to do laundry, pack, make a list of things for my parents to send me in case I get the job and don't come back before I start, and clean my room. Oh, and make a list or pile of things that Mom can sell in the garage sale, also incase I don't come back before I start work.

Apparently, there's a pretty good chance I'll get this job. Veta's friend is the one doing the hiring, and she said there aren't that many applicants for the position I'm wanting, and they need someone desperately! If I get it, I'll go to... 5 or 6 weeks of training in Seattle, according to the employment querie I filled out online. If/when that happens, I shall have Kate and Rob and Stephanie and Ben come to see me. And they shall come or they shall be uninvited from my wedding! That one always gets Rob... it almost makes me guilty. Almost.

BLAST IT, I'm hungry. And I want to watch Pirates of the Carribean. And I want to cuddle on the couch with Josh. 'Course, he'd fall asleep, I'd watch the movie all the way through, turn off the TV, and roll over and fall asleep with him. The rolling over without elbowing him is the tricky part. There's not a whole lot of room on that couch, you know.

Have you ever read Lenore by Roman Dirge? It's friggin' hillarious. You should read it. It will appeal to your inner goth. And you should embrace your inner goth. It isn't going away. Well, not until it's called to the reunion, anyway. Heee~

Verrrrry hungry, folkses. I really shouldn't give in to the inner voice telling me to get cereal. It is 12:45 in the morning, after all.

I need to figure out what I'm taking to Alaska. I'm only packing for the weekend, really, but I need to be prepared and all. It will probably be raining when I get there, but it may be sunny while I'm there. The only thing I'm sure of is that it will get dark around 10 PM and light around 3 AM. Sucky hours, but I think I'll prolly get used to it. I hope I do, if I'm going to be staying up there. Anyhow, I should go. I'm getting sleepy. 'Night~

I got a call from Alaska Airlines, and they want me to go to Ketchikan next Thursday for an interview! XD The problem, though, is in the getting there. It costs over 00 to fly from Denver to Ketchikan with a layover in Seattle. Mom is contacting Veta to see if she can get a ticket from her friend. If that doesn't work, she's going to ask Grandma if she'll pay for it, and we'll pay her back.

I'm trying to decide whether or not to call Josh. Not for a ticket, but to tell him that I'll be heading up there. I think that I should wait until I know for certain that I'll be able to get there first. A month isn't over, though! <--Little voice in my head. Very confuzzling. Anyhow, I'm really excited about getting that call! I've never been turned down for a job that I've had an interview for. Of course, the competition for this job is probably a lot tougher. Anyhow, I'm just anxious to get up there. Getting a job would probably be the best birthday present. hehehe~ Anyhow, going to run. Ciao~!

As you can see, I have changed the layout again. As much as I liked the Cloud x Tifa one, I can't do happy, bright things like that for long. My goth-self revolts. Anyhow, This layout was actually made by Emi (yay!), and she said I could use it. :D

Anyhow, this is just a quick li'l update. I have to take my sister to the high school because she's an idiot and left her homework there. Ciao!
