Thursday, March 14:

This entry is a day late, sure, I know. It's just, I had been in a little depression slump, but I'm starting to crack out of it. Life is fantastic! There's nothing to it- I may be working more than nine hours a day now, and I may be so drained, body aching, the only thing I can do is collapse back into bed, but I wouldn't trade these days for anything!

Okay, so yesterday I had a few cute things at work. I have been working nonstop every day, so far closing the store up every night. I got a surprise that perked me up! Walking into the store is a familiar forty year old named Mark. My boss, the 1st key manager, trained him a while back in the summer so he could manage his own store. Anyway, we only had him for two weeks, but he was the coolest and sweetest guy you ever ever meet!! He ran over to me and gave me a big bear hug, saying, "Huggles for Mandy"!. God, I love that guy- he is so great to be around. He perks up the energy around the place with his comical personality, and I can't stop laughing around him.

To boot, Mark also looks exactly like, sounds, dresses to the same fashion, and is the same age as my favorite character in my book, Timber Wolf. Not bad, huh? Oh, trust me, that scared me first time around when he first walked into the store. I still remember that day. I was stocking some items on the shelf, and here comes to trainee. I look up at him and think, "OH GOD, my character is getting revenge on me for killing him in a few chapters- so much he's reincarnated and visiting me at work!!". Well... that could be a bit sarcastic, but you know what I mean.

Later that evening, I was working on a rolltainer (it is chock full of supplies and things to stop; it's like a metal cage with wheels) and I had to duck behind an shelf, stifling my giggles and hoping to god no one was watching me, wondering why I was laughing so hard. A mother was standing at the cash register, my cashier taking care of her. Her seven year old son, though, was in the chip aisle, spinning around and chirping in a cracked, but cute, voice, a song.

This song was from the series Spongebob. Anyone seen that camping episode? Well, he was singing the, "C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G" thing. He had the biggest grin on his face, and he wasn't worried who saw him. I couldn't help it, it was so adorable! This is how blissful life is, and if I had a camera on me all the time, I'd tape it so I could witness it again and cherish those moments repeatedly...

Let's see... working all week-- actually... make that two weeks with barely a day off. See, a worker taking a vacation. I don't mind, really, though... as long as my constant exhaustion is kept to a low minimum.

On another note... I've been watching Full Metal Alchemist for a while now. I can only snag an episode or two every so often (more like an episode every week stare ) thanks to my work schedule, but in the last few days I've actually soared with watching them (watching a whopping four in one day), and I finally got to episode twenty-five, which could be considered, somewhat, half way. Of course, one of the characters I actually like dies in that episode. Of course... As much as I hate to admit it, I'm getting used to this (after watching Death Note and three of my four favorite characters die, IN ONE EPISODE, I think it's apparent I should get used to this "Midas touch of character death" I have).

Oh, and mom is apparently interested in Full Metal Alchemist, so now I have to rewatch some of the ones I've already done just so she can see it- and that means I get to watch all the deaths over again, watch all the twisted plots again... Thank god I can then explain to her what the heck is going on! She wants to watch this in English, though, and I want to watch it in the original Japanese (the English track I did hear, and it made me want to cry, gouging my eardrums out and putting a bullet to my head; once again, that was sarcastic but you get the point). This means I have to watch it first time through, online, in Japanese to get the true plot of the Anime, and then rewatch it, in English, with her, where they've butchered the plot slightly. God, I hate Gluttony! He's the most messed up Homunculus in the entire group. Greed is the only one that seems normal- I even like Envy, a bit.

I want Teen Night to hurry up and get here! gonk I'm going insane!! Oh, and Spring is finally here! THANK GOD!!!!

heart Peace out, ya'll! heart
