Big Bang Theory

The Big Bang Theory may be my new favorite television show. I can not believe that I am episode 3...just kidding. I got to four while I procrastinated typing this. I am already half way through the fourth episode. I am going to focus right now. This show is fantastic. The acting in this show is just incredible. The way these actors just click with each other, just fantastic. Such a great cast!! Once the shows finish I am going to be so sad. This show just makes me so excited to get an apartment when I am older. Honestly, I already started looking at Ikea...but I digress. Having the ability and responsibility to decorate and run your own place seems to interesting. I would love having a place where it is my fault if the dishes aren't washed, or there is laundry is all over. I would love to not have to pick up after my family. I would love to have a place that doesn't make me hate everyone or more the squirrels that live in our ceiling. I would love if there were no squirrels at all! That would be amazinggggggg! As much as I can't wait for my future to begin, I am so scared for it to get to that point. I am trying to set myself up now so I won't be a hot hot mess when I get to the point where I need to be on my own. I wish someone would pay off my student loans, my personal loans, and to get my teeth fixed. That would be cool. Episode 5? Maybe 6... I don't know. I need to shower and get more of my life together. Or I could watch more Big Bang.

The cinema (s)

Today, I am spending my interesting day working at the movie theater.  It is gorgeous outside and there is only 41 people here. This results in me practically taking a nap in the box office (where tickets are sold, for all you youngins). The theater has 8 cinemas, but the sign the recently placed above our doors says 'Cinema'. I guess the plaza did not have enough money for the 's'...or the 'Gardner' part either.
When September hits the cinemas become a graveyard. The only people who come are the adorable old people and unfortunately, the crazy people who smell like stale cigarettes and bodily waste. The high points for the employees working include: the arrival of the mail, the dumpster guy, or the game guy. The REALLY thrilling days are when all of this happens! The hardest part off the shift is between 1:30 and 3 when we all just sit and stare at each other.... A picture of just how busy it is, is attached.

Birthday Parties

In the movie biz, there are birthday parties to be held. What screaming 8 year old wouldn't love to trash a movie theater and eat all the popcorn he can dream of? Someone is hired to give this child popcorn and then pick it all up. Today that was me. It was pretty simple, except for when I asked if anyone needed anything else and some kid kept screaming "root beer" at me. I get it child, calm your horses. Another child kept trying to be my best friend and tell me stories. If I could have pushed him away, I would have. Next time, I guess.  The Mom was a little frazzled with the whole situation, which I guess is expected. Being a parent and hosting a children's birthday party automatically makes you the Mom of the 13 kids there. I tried to keep my attention on Dad. He seemed calm, cool, and collected. He offered me pizza and I politely declined. He was right there when I was ringing them up for the party and he kept saying thank you to me. That's how you do it. Be nice and get nice back. I do not understand why people do not get that concept. It's not complex... Anyways, I got everyone in the movie, seated, with popcorn and (all but 2) drinks [the father and the older son's] before the movie started. All in all, I would say that it was a very successful birthday party. Easy $25 (plus $9 tip that Dad gave me! Thanks!!)
**The downside to dealing with children is you know exactly who is going to grow up to be rude and awful. I wish there was a way to fix them before that happened.

How I Wake Up

I have been recently trying to wake up at a more reasonable time. When I say reasonable, I mean before 10:30am. For a whole week, I was doing so well. I woke up around 7:47 (I have a weird thing with odd numbers) and would go downstairs to pour myself a glass of orange juice. I repeat: I was doing so well. What happened?! I would set my alarm for early and everything would be fine. Then when I woke up at almost 8am, I would hit snooze until 10:30am. By the time I rolled myself out of bed, poured my orange juice and sat down to watch Hulu (as I do every morning after I wake up), I would realize that half my day was already gone. I live to regret not getting up earlier everyday. The regret continues when I am not tired once 11pm comes around. I have tried to sleep and I end up just lying in bed, eyes open, counting sheep, listening to nature sounds, not sleeping. By the time I am tired, it's 2am. I can not wake up at 8am if I go to sleep at 2am. That is not going to happen. Therefore, I am stuck in this vicious circle of not sleeping how I want to. If I do wake up at 8am, I need a nap at 6pm meaning that I would go to sleep later. On top of all of this, I need to do my homework. I procrastinate so much it is a surprise that I accomplish anything. I know HOW to be productive and to do things. I just don't. I've been working on it and I hope I get better at it. I guess we will just have to see where the future takes us. And if the future isn't going to do us any good, I'm going to buy some ZzzQuil.

Cleaning House

Today, my brother and I worked on cleaning out our house a bit. We managed to remove the 4 (yes, 4) bags of clothes that have been meaning to go to Salvation Army. Yea! Charity! I hope people enjoy my quality clothes that I never wear because I am always wearing the same pairs of jeans and the same couple of shirts. (#wardrobeupdate?) We were also able to remove a bunch of computer related things from our "computer" room. It's really more of a collection-of-stuff room. After 3 years, the computer room has a working computer, which is why cleaning needs to occur. Did you know that Staples will take your computer things for free if they are on the list? It's kind of awesome and convenient. Does anyone know how to get rid of a bunch of quality junk? I can't just throw it away. It could be useful to someone. Just not someone in this household because its buried under a pile of stuff. Not that my family can qualify as hoarders....it's just that if I wasn't here, they could. I need to have a yard sale, but I do not have the time or patience to do such a thing. If I was willing to pay for shipping costs I would probably also do Ebay. How do you ship an exercise ball? Actually, I'm keeping that because it provides me with joy and cardio for hours while I do homework. I just don't know how to get rid of everything, especially with my Twitter addiction starting up. I guess one day I will either figure it out or move out. One way or another- not my mess, not my problem.
