i found my car key
while taking an afternoon nap today i thought about possible places my key might be. i thought that it COULD possibly be in brads back seat.
so i slept on it. then i called him. he looked. it was in there. he dropped it off.
i put it imediatly onto my other keychain. so now if i lose one i'll lose all of them. then corey nailed a special nail on the wall just for my keys.
extreme makeover is on. and i think law and order is on. and seinfield. WHAT DO I DO?

i lost my stupid car key
this morning corey got up really early and wanted me to drive him to work.
i looked for my car key for a long time.a really really long time. i'm pissed for many reasons. first, i just spent yesterday cleaning and picking things up. so it's not like they are hiding is some messy area. well they still could be, but i thought i already looked in the leftover messy areas. second, this must be the elevendybillionth time losing my key/keys. once they were wedged in the chair. once they were between the couch cushin. another time they were just under a piece of paper. a piece of paper that i thought i looked under, but when i went back to it THERE THEY WERE!!! third: i didn't even drive to school yesterday. so i had them after i took corey to work. as i was getting out of the car i thought to myself : i should just put this car key on my other key chain. wouldn't that be more practical? wouldn't it be?
THEN i thought "it's a good thing i can't lock my keys in the car."
why won't they just turn up? i've looked everywhere eight times over again.
bung fung. i even looked in the vacuum thingy. they weren't there. i was wearing a skirt thing most of the day and the pockets are sewn shut. so they weren't there either. WHERE COULD THEY BE!?!?
my finger nails are dirty. so i guess i'll just NOT go clean them with my lost key.

shamalamadingle dangler.
i've spent the entire day today cleaning. and watching tv. and cooking muffins. and eating muffins.
i just cooked an old meat loaf that i found in the freezer. it wasn't really old, just prepared a while ago. anyway, i forgot that i put it in there so it was a really pleasant surprise. i made it now so that i could eat some before i leave for school and so that corey could eat some after he gets home from work. that way he won't have to cook his own dinster. the only thing is is that this loaf is really small and i don't think it will be enough.
bah. i thought today's dr. phil show would really be a butt clencher, but it's just "debate dr. phil" i want to see marty reveal a secret to his family that will shatter EVERYTHING.
i don't know what i would do without daytime tv.

i made a good dinner
I MADE black bean soup for dinner. just so you all know, it was from a martha stewart recipe. i recommend it to everyone. we put ham in it, because i like the taste of meat in anything and everything. but i GUESS if you didn't like the taste of meat, or had some kind of political views that didn't permit you to eat it, you could just omit it. anyway the recipe goes like this :
heat some ham steaks.
take them out of the pan.
cook up some onions. add some seasoning: cumin, cayenne pepper, any other good flavors.
add three cans of BLACK BEANS.
add water to cover the beans (about a can and a half)
bring to boil
then turn down to a simmer.
after 10 minutes are up you might be half way there.
NOW: blender the soup in batches. it makes it creamy and good.
scoop into bowel and eat that shit.
oh yeah, put the ham pieces up and put those in the bowel with the soup.
also tastes good with sour cream and CORN BREADS!!
i think everwood is on tonight. but i'm not sure.
i should go check...

UPDATE
fuck sticks. i just got the mail from the box downstairs.
"thank you for your interest.... blablableebloo... while we will not be able to offer you a posistion at this time we would like to bleelboobeolalalabaelr"
so i didn't get this job that i've just spent 3 weeks obsessing over. i know they need to find someone who will be a good fit for them but i still feel like they were a dirt farmer dangling a carrot in front of a mule. and the job was the carrot. and i was the mule. and i think that they're the dirt farmer.
i need a ciggy. and a stiff drink. and a market time toffee bar.
now i'm going to go stuff my sorrys in a sack.
butt sniffer.

holy shit
yesterday i picked up a bunch of books from the library. i got a shit load of cook books by america's test kitchen. i'm REALLY excited.
yesterday i also spent a really long time straightening my hair. i was very happy with the results. today hardcorey and i are going to camano island with beava and bard. I'M EVEN MORE excited about that.
i'm waiting for someone to call and tell me that i either got the job or that i didn't get the job so that i can move on with my life.
i'm getting period pains just thinking about it.
last night i had dreams so weird that i can't even describe how WEIRD they are!!!
also, this morning i watched the videos that i got about the fishing industry in alaska. VERY INTERESTING....

a jerk
the guy upstairs (i don't mean god) is such a stupid jerk face. i woke up from otherwise peaceful afternoon nap to him blasting that "JET" music
FULL FUCKING BLAST. i think he must have it turned up to 11. he plays the most annoying music at the most inappropriate times. he's played Dido before, really loudly. and Norah Jones too. i hate him. the other day he drove up at the same time we were getting out of the car. we ran in really fast and didn't leave the door open for him. because he's a jerk.
i went to the library today and got two movies, celebrity and memento. i got part way through memento before i had to take a nap. i got some good times books too. i was SUPOSSED to get other stuff on hold and when i was getting my other books i didn't tell the guy that i had anything on hold even though he should know. so he just acted like i didn't know that he didn't know. and he didn't give me anything. i'm pissed because i have two documentries about salmon and salmon canning on hold. SALMON CANNING!!
I'M gonna go unpack.

the rest of what happened today
so i don't know how i did on my interview. i really need to learn how to speak correctly and answer questions. who knows. BUT when i got home i did type up a thank you letter to send. and i sent it. so i do feel like i did everything i could do. after having 10 interviews and getting no job offers a person could start to feel defective. and i think i'm at that point. i told myself i wouldn't be disappointed if i didn't get this job, because i have a back-up school plan which i was pretty much counting on before this came along. so i can still do that this summer and fall. it's just that we'll be poor still. and i want new clothes.
in other news, i got a "save the date" post card from kristina. i wanted to make ours this weekend but we went to paper zone and they didn't have what i wanted. then i looked around the internet and found sunprint paper and i am really excited about it. i went to ho-annes to see if they had anything but they didn't. i think i'll look at northwest art supply the next time i go there. i am excited.
if i got a full time job right now i have no idea how i would finish planning all of this wedding foof'n'doodle. so who knows. WHO THE BUTT KNOWS??

okay. so i guess today is tuesday. i'm getting ready for my THIRD job interview with this place where i've been having lots of job interviews. i really want to work there so i hope i can convey that message in my interview. I NEED TO GET A JOB. anyway. i'm really excited to go to ceramics tonight. i have ideas of crap i want to make, but it's not what i'm supposed to be making. last night i had a dream that my brother and i were at my parents house and we had our old dog. my brother was going out to the aviary and cleaning out old eggs that had been in there too long. he brought this one in that had a bird that had hatched halfway and then died. it was still half way in it's shell. it was really gross and weird. then our dog ATE IT!!!
eww!!!!!

scrap
me and hardcorey went on a walk to the u-district today and when we got home we took a long nap. it's 8:45 now. and i feel really WEIRD. still a little tired and like i'm just different. i don't know if i should just scrap today and go back to bed.
there is no clean dishes. i had to eat peaches with a knife. if i got back to bed then i won't feel like i have to clean anything.

yeah
i'm printing out addresses right now and i'm totally having a weird deja vu feeling. it's strange.
last night me and eva went to ceramics and there's this girl there who's really stupid and annoying. she's not in our class but she's in there sometimes on fridays when it's open studio time. she leaves her shit all over the table where people work instead of putting it on the coat rack. she doesn't even offer to move it when we put our clay stuff on the table. THEN last night we were in there and she was throwing and it was class time and she didn't leave. they were even having a critique. and she just sat there doing her own thing. it bugs me because there is a sign ON THE WALL that says "studio is not open during class time" and one day when she was there she said "oh so the studio is open tonight?" and i said "it's not open durning class. which is at 6"
she's really stupid.
alaska is the most interesting place ever. especially naknek and surrounding areas.
the kids in south naknek ride a plane to school everyday!! WHOA!!

SO this morning i went to my second interview. it went well. and believe it or not, but i have to wait to see if i get a THIRD INTERVIEW. so we'll see.
after that i went home and watched starting over. a 7th roommate moved in. it's some girl who is preggers. after THAT i got ready to go to my other interview. at a tool place. it was near safco field. and it was a DUMP. when the guy called me he forgot to tell me that you have to drive onto the roof instead of parking in the front. my hands got unbelievably sweaty while i was waiting. the actual interview when fine. but now i have to wait to see if i get a second interview with them.

thursday, friday,saturday
thursday: i went to my job interview. it went okay. but i had to wait to find out about a second interview. i went to ceramics. then home. when i got home the toilet was low in water. like it was clogged. i flushed and it filled up with a lot of water. so i peed in the bathtub.
friday: toilet was still clogged. so i peed in the bathtub again. i dropped corey off at work and stopped by fred'n'meyer to get a plunger. they didn't open till 7 and it was 6:40 so i had to go to market time. then i got home and tried plunging. everytime i would push down the plunger would flip back and i would have to push it back with my foot. and then dirty toilet water would splash back on me. bad times. later that day i found out that i got a second interview. good times.
saturday: today was shopping day. eva, lui, carolyn and i went to the mall to search for possible bridemade dresses. i also needed to look for interview clothes. neither things happened. meh.
tomorrow is CRIST COMES ALIVE! day.

gilmore girls
i didn't watch gilmore girls tonight because i was at ceramics class. and corey didn't record it. so it looks like i probably won't be watching it at all.
in other more exciting news, i'm going to start volunteering at the Fremont Public Association tomorrow. also, eva and i had mcChicken sammiches after class.
satisfied.
